Li Xiao still didn't kill Luo Yang in person, there are many people in this world who want to kill Luo Yang more than Li Xiao and Sun Chengzong, such as Li Yongfang, who is always worried about Luo Yang.

Li Yongfang didn't talk nonsense with Luo Yangxing, and threw Luo Yangxing directly from the roof. The external explanation is that people fall down, and they can't speak when they die anyway. If you want to complain, you can only go to Hades.

Luo Yang died, and Jin Yiwei was further dismissed. Those thousands and hundreds of households who have been in Jinyi for generations have been dismissed, and they have a good place to go. What bicycle factory, tire factory, bulb factory, thermos factory and so on. Anyway, it's a state-owned enterprise, and you won't be hungry.

If you love to keep this thing, you will keep it, anyway, this thing will not be a national uniform in the future. Just because you wear it doesn't mean you can enforce the law. The embroidered spring knife must be handed in, according to the latest regulations of the Ming Dynasty, this thing belongs to the controlled knife.

No one is allowed to wear a sword on the street, not even a decorative one. Private possession of a firearm is a felony, and in any case, as long as you have a gun without a gun license, the sentence is three years.

Prison life is no longer dark, and prisoners need to work to support themselves. The exile of the army is completely forbidden, and being a soldier is an honorable thing, and you can't grab it. Letting prisoners join the army is an insult to soldiers, good iron is not twisted nails, and the era of good men not being soldiers has long been a thing of the past, and now many good families can't be soldiers if they want to.

No one expected that Jinyiwei, which had been rampant in Daming for more than 200 years, would come to an end.

Of course, the security of the whole country cannot be left unattended. After Zhang Huangyan's strong recommendation, Xiao Zhan became the new Minister of Public Security. For the name of the Ministry of Public Security, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan both found it very novel. When Li Xiao explained what public safety is, they all felt that the word Li Xiao was very appropriate.

Xiao Zhan didn't have much awareness of protecting cultural relics, and within a few days of taking office, he pushed the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu envoy Si Yamen, who had existed for more than 200 years. The new plan is to build a reinforced concrete building on top of it, which is said to be a six-story building, one level higher than the yamen of the Ministry of State Security.

Li Xiao knew that this was a secret competition between the ministers.

There is no need to care about these people, they are all caused by the desire for power. In other words, people who have no desire for power have no way to mix in the officialdom of deceit.

The section from Tiananmen Square East Road to Chongwenmenwai Street was planned as an embassy area very early. Countries around the world, as long as they want to do business in the Ming Dynasty, they need to have formal diplomatic channels.

In the beginning, various embassies were still scattered throughout the capital. It looks a bit like the Ming Dynasty's overseas associations, and the embassies of some Christian countries are simply set up in churches, and I don't know if it is to save money or to show their devotion to God.

Li Xiao carved out the embassy area and named the street Dongjiaomin Lane. No one knows why Li Xiao is named it like this, and even Li Xiao himself doesn't know, anyway, the word popped up in his head.

Embassies in various countries have small plots of land and houses built themselves. If you dislike the small embassy area, it's easy to do...... Spend money to buy the surrounding land. There are no requirements for the style of the house, whether you are Gothic or Romanesque, whether you use stone or wood. Even if you don't build a house, it's okay to build a shack. Anyway, it is your country that is ashamed, not the one who loses the Ming Dynasty.

The Spanish embassy area is quite magnificent, with huge stone walls like castles, red terracotta tube tiles, arc cornices, red sloping roofs, hand-plastered walls, cultural stone exterior walls, horseshoe windows, curved walls and one-step balconies, as well as wrought iron, pottery, round arches, promenades, hollows, etc., which are the basic elements of Spanish architecture, harmoniously integrated into the façade, architectural structure and details.

It is worthy of being a country that has robbed the Inca Empire for thousands of years, and it can be called a tyrant in the construction of the embassy. The only thing that can be compared to it is Portugal, which is across the door.

The French embassy looks a little shabby compared to others. A small Chinese-style two-story building, with offices downstairs and staff dormitories upstairs. There is a kitchen and vegetable patch in the backyard, and the east courtyard is a restaurant, and the west courtyard is a thatched house. There are only a few people, but they live their lives as dividends.

Joseph walked out of the gate of the French embassy and quietly got into a black carriage, today he is going to meet Li Xiao in secret, which is related to the future of the Bonaparte family and France.

"Dear Mr. Marshal, it's a pleasure to see you again. This time, I brought my brother Napoleon Bonaparte's greetings and this scimitar. With that, Joseph took out a scimitar from his attendant's hand.

Junzi took the scimitar and handed it to Li Xiao with a bow.

Li Xiao looked down, and the handle of the knife was embedded with various gems. The scabbard is made of gold, and it feels very overwhelming when I take it. With a sound of pressing the tension spring "Zheng", he pulled out the steel knife with snowflake patterns all over his body!

A standard Damascus scimitar with a certain arc on the blade. When I pressed my hand on the back of the knife, I felt the cold air, and I played a knife and slashed out, and a corner was immediately missing from the desk. The notches are neat and tidy, and there is not a trace of sawdust.

"Good knives! Thank you Napoleon for me. Li Xiao returned the knife into the sheath and handed it to Shunzi casually. Now this kind of thing is a ritual thing, so there's no need to care about it. There were a lot of Japanese knives sent by the Japanese country, and they were almost piled up in a warehouse.

Etiquette must be asked for by others, and with such a large amount of money, I don't know what moths to come up with.

"We ...... We need better artillery. It is better to have rocket artillery and ...... and howitzers. Joseph seemed to know that his request was excessive, and he slurred when he said it.

"What do you want so many cannons for? As far as I know, Wu Sangui's life is not easy now. The weapons given to the Egyptians are limited, and don't tell me you can't even beat the natives of Egypt with rudimentary weapons. Li Xiao looked at Joseph suspiciously, it is understandable to ask for rocket artillery, after all, the chieftains of the indigenous Egyptians can't beat it, and they will play crowd tactics. Napoleon, who did not have a machine gun, still needed weapons of mass destruction.

But what do you want howitzers for? Howitzer shells are parabolic ballistics and are basically point-to-point precision strike weapons.

"Uh......!" Joseph wiped a handful of sweat from his head, the last time Li Hu helped him support the scene, this time no one stood behind him.

Li Xiao sat on the sofa with his ass, and he knew that this time there was likely to be a story.

"There was unrest in our Paris, and Napoleon decided to return home with his army to quell the unrest. The royalists, on the other hand, are supported by many foreign countries and are more likely to attract British interference. So we need a lot of artillery, especially rocket artillery and howitzers. Please approve it too! ”

"Oh ......!" Li Xiao let out a long sigh, it turned out that France had made a great revolution. Napoleon went back to seize power, think about what it is called? That's right, the Foggy Moon Coup!

Li Xiao's "oh" made Joseph's face even more ugly, and it was too difficult to judge what the other party was going to do.

The question was "oh", after which Li Xiao picked up a citrus and began to peel it. The quality of citrus airlifted from Guangxi is guaranteed.

"Do you eat oranges?" After peeling a citrus fruit, Li Xiao handed it directly to Joseph.

"Uh......!" Joseph couldn't help but laugh and cry, now that such a big matter is being discussed, what is the matter with you handing over an orange?

"Good! Good! "I took the orange handed over by Li Xiao, and it was very sweet in my mouth, but it was very bitter in my heart. The conversation was interrupted, and I didn't know how to start again.

"I heard that you organized people to dig canals in Egypt?" Li Xiao continued to peel oranges while chatting and asking questions.

"Oh! At the beginning, I listened to the idea of the tiger master and dug a canal in Suezna, which is indeed a good thing. So......! ”

"So you stole my brother's idea, and drove him away by the hand of the Egyptians, and did it yourself. It's really a good calculation, tell your brother, I admire his methods. "After peeling the oranges, Li Xiao threw one in his mouth, Guangxi citrus is indeed worthy of its name, like a little honeypot.

"Where! Where! We will certainly not forget about the Tiger Lord, Napoleon meant, according to the previous statement, to give the Tiger Lord half of the shares. "If you still don't understand, Li Xiao is putting forward conditions, Joseph can go back to France directly to raise pigs.

"That's not good, you take half of the shares without doing anything, you suffer too much." Li Xiao dragged a tissue and wiped his hands casually. Then he handed over the tissue box, and when he saw Joseph stunned, he directly pulled out a piece and handed it over again.

"Oh! Thank you, Your Excellency! Only then did Joseph realize that the paper had been used to wipe his hands. Hurriedly took it with both hands, and after wiping his hands, he didn't know where to put it, so he could only hold it in the palm of his hand.

The scene cooled down again, and you were willing to give away half of the shares, what else do you want to do. You can't say that we have worked so hard to catch the Egyptians and dig canals, and you want to do it all without giving a damn anything.

Fortunately, Li Xiao didn't let the cold field last too long: "It's better to account for 30% of the shares, but let's talk about it first." My Ming merchant warships have to cross the canal, and they don't need any cost. ”

Joseph let out a sigh of relief, this condition was still acceptable. The Ming merchant ships did not enter the Indian Ocean very much, and all the goods were directly unloaded at the Xinjiapo wharf. Even if the canal is built in the future, most of the ships that come in and out will be European ships and Arab ships.

"Yes! OK! This condition is completely acceptable to us. "Joseph has lost his temper by Li Xiao, and he has completely lost the composure that a diplomat should have.

"In that case, we can support some rocket artillery. Also, support some of your cannons. The price is good, and it is the lowest price. I don't think there's a need for howitzers!

You don't have howitzers there, so I don't know, the gunners of howitzers have to go through special training. The soldiers who operate artillery in my Ming Dynasty have all been trained in the artillery school. Now, even if I give you cannons, your soldiers won't use them. If you want to operate howitzers well, at least your artillerymen must have graduated from junior high school. ”

Joseph was a little dumbfounded, rocket artillery is easy to deal with, and the main purpose this time is howitzers. Howitzers are not ordinary artillery, but artillery that bombards the enemy's artillery. With howitzers, the opponent's artillery is likely to be killed after one round.

Although Napoleon did not fight such a battle in the Liao army, he already had a clear understanding of artillery. Especially after sending people to inquire about the battle for Ceylon Island between the Ming Dynasty and India, it was even more certain that artillery would definitely dominate the battlefield in the future.

As soon as the artillery was knocked out at the beginning, the battle was basically lost.

"Your Excellency! You......! ”

"Don't say any more, I'm not lying to you, our soldiers need to learn a lot before they can handle howitzers well. We can support some of your cannons, which are also very powerful, especially against the opponent's strong fortresses, and the accuracy and bombardment effect are quite good.

When we were in Ceylon, we met many Indian forts. It's all reinforced concrete buildings, do you know what our soldiers call cannons? Can opener! I, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, opened the fortresses of the Indians one after another like opening cans.

If you want to go back to your home country to fight, you will definitely encounter such a battle. Believe me, a direct-fire flat-fire cannon must be what you need. Much stronger than howitzers, which are not easy to handle! Li Xiao pointed to the trash can at his feet and motioned for Joseph to throw away the hot tissue.

"Thank you, Generalissimo!" Throwing away the tissues, Joseph's train of thought was disrupted once again.

"Our soldiers can learn!" Joseph was nervous and wanted to make a final effort.

"As I said, your soldiers simply can't learn without a few years of study. Do you know how long it takes to study after graduating from junior high school? Nine years! A nine-year-old child has to study in school until he is eighteen years old. Li Xiao was a little impatient and waved his hand irritably.

"That machine gun ......!" Howitzers need to be operated by highly educated soldiers, and your machine guns will never do the same.

"It is impossible to give you machine guns, you must know that even if it is my Ming army, not everyone can be equipped with machine guns. Besides, with the current production capacity, the main force of our Ming Dynasty has not yet been equipped with machine guns, how can we give you priority equipment? ”

“……！” Joseph had nothing to say, Li Xiao sealed his mouth tightly, leaving him no room for anything.

"I want to ask, I heard that you cut off the head of the Emperor of France? Or is it in public? Isn't that a bit too much? After all, the emperor is the emperor, and you are rebelling. ”

In order to prevent Joseph from continuing to make demands, Li Xiao simply pulled around. He didn't care whether Louis XVI would cut off his head or not, just to cause a stir. Find a reason to end the conversation in a moment and do the business well.

Not a penny, one person does not have to pay, and occupies 30% of the shares of the Suez Canal. Moreover, there was no charge for the Ming ships to cross the Suez Canal, and by the way, it became an arms business.

It's easy to say that rocket artillery, it's just a large drill monkey in a broken cannon barrel. The technical requirements are terrible, even if he doesn't give it to Napoleon, he will get one from Wu Sangui and go back to ponder it.

The troops have eliminated a large number of cannons because they are equipped with howitzers, and they are worried that they have no place to digest them, and now it is much more cost-effective to pack them and sell them to the French than to recycle them themselves.

"It's the mob that stormed the Bastille. Then another meeting was convened and His Majesty the Emperor was publicly executed. They are rebels! For the past two years, they have fought each other for power in Paris. My brother Napoleon went back to put an end to this situation. ”

"What about after that? As far as I know, your Emperor's family has been killed. ”

"I don't know yet!"

Li Xiao sneered, Napoleon took power after the coup d'état, and finally after a series of battles, he was crowned Emperor of France.
