It was a monoculars and a compound microscope. It's a combination of near and far, and it seems that the Spaniards have put a lot of thought into it.

Chongzhen knew that the microscope should have been first invented by the Dutchman Yas Jensen in 1590, but he did not use it for scientific observations.

The one who really used the microscope for scientific research was the Dutch linen merchant, Leeuwenhoek.

But now that he is only a teenager, it is impossible for him to carry forward the microscope.

The Spaniards apparently studied carefully to choose these two new objects as gifts for the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the little eunuch presented pocket watches, glass mirrors, glasses and other objects, cauliflower, tomatoes, tobacco, peppers, cabbage and other crops that had not yet been popularized in the Ming Dynasty, as well as some diamonds and pearls.

Chongzhen looked at them one by one, and said slowly: "You have a heart." This telescope can already be produced by my Daming, but this microscope invented by the Dutch, we are still in the plan. ”

Gabriel was taken aback, he didn't expect the Ming Emperor to know that the microscope was invented by the Dutch.

"As for these seeds, the Dutch have already sent them to Laizhou, it seems that there are ten ships, right?" Chongzhen said casually, turning his head and asking Tian Shouxin.

"Exactly. I arrived the day before yesterday, and I have already started to enter the warehouse. Tian Shouxin said cooperatively, "In addition to several types of seeds here, there are also corn, sweet potato, potato, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds!" ”

Seeing that the Ming Emperor was not interested in his gifts at all, and seemed to be more fond of the Dutch, Gabriel was a little anxious, and he said loudly: "The Dutch are robbers and bullies, they are not honest in business, and they also attack our territory, His Majesty the Ming Emperor must not do business with them." ”

Chongzhen was laughed at angrily, if you want to talk about robbers and bullies, you Spaniards are the originators, okay, this will be the first to sue the wicked.

"I know that the Dutch have occupied Malacca, driven out the Portuguese, and established a stronghold in the southern part of the island of Taiwan, and will attack you at any time."

Gabriel was overjoyed when he heard this, "Since His Majesty the Emperor knows, then we can rest assured!" ”

"Naturally, I know that you are fighting on the land of the Ming Dynasty, how can I not know!" Chongzhen suddenly became stern.

"Nope! We didn't fight on the land of the Ming Dynasty, we came for trade, those castles in Taiwan, just to store goods! As long as we can do business on the mainland, we can give up Taiwan at any time! Gabriel hastened to explain.

Chongzhen understood Spain's thoughts, and asked rhetorically: "If it weren't for the fact that the Dutch had more troops than you, and they could take your territory at any time, would you still say that?" ”

Gabriel was stunned when he heard this, how can this emperor know everything, this is too terrible, I can't be led by his nose, thinking of this, he said loudly:

"No, no, no, our army is strong and not afraid of the Dutch at all! Even, we can send troops to help the Ming Dynasty and go to the north to fight against the barbarian country called the Great Qing! ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his face immediately became gloomy, and he understood that this Spaniard meant that the Ming Dynasty was in deep crisis, it was difficult for him to resist the enemy, and there were several rebel armies in the country, and he needed the help of their country very much.

"You have to watch your words!" Chongzhen said sharply, "The Qing Dynasty in your mouth is not a country, just a disobedient nation in my Ming Dynasty."

Moreover, I don't need your troops to help. You may not know that just a few months ago, the Ming Dynasty had pacified 6 cities in Liaodong and annihilated the main force in Liaodong.

A few days ago, our Daming Navy Division conquered the Liaodong Peninsula and recovered a large territory. After half a year, the Liaodong rebellion can be completely suppressed! ”

Gabriel did hear about it, but he didn't know the specific battle situation, but he knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and after listening to Chongzhen's words, he already believed eighty percent.

Chongzhen glared at Gabriel and continued: "In addition, today we are mainly talking about trade, not military!" I ask you, apart from the gift you just gave me, what more precious goods can Spain sell to the Ming Dynasty? ”

Gabriel raised his eyebrows slightly, vaguely guessed something, and asked, "I don't know what goods His Majesty the Emperor wants?" ”

"Warship!"

"This ......" Gabriel hesitated, their war with the Dutch could break out at any time, and with the Dutch dominant, he did not dare to sell the warship to the Ming casually.

Without the warship, no matter how much silver the Ming Dynasty offers, it will eventually be snatched by the Dutch.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we can't sell warships for the time being."

Chongzhen knew that he was reluctant to sell the ship, and said with a flat face: "You don't have the goods I need, there is no need to trade with us, you can retreat." ”

Gabriel was stumped, he could not imagine that the Ming Emperor was completely different from those officials, he knew a lot about European affairs, and even knew about the disputes and strength of several of their countries.

What's more, the previous Ming emperors and officials were reluctant to do business with them, and the emperor in front of him actually opened his mouth and closed his mouth to trade.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, our warships are really in short supply, but we can provide armor, horses, and the most advanced firearms!" Gabriel found a product that he thought could impress the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty faced many wars and was definitely in urgent need of arms and supplies.

"You go on!" Chongzhen replied simply.

Seeing Chongzhen's intention, Gabriel was very happy, and hurriedly said: "The Andalusian horse in our country is the best war horse in Europe. We can transport to Daming and equip Daming's cavalry.

At the same time, our armor is made of stainless steel, which can resist firearms attacks, and will definitely help your country! ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Okay! You bring the horses first, and we can negotiate the price. In addition, I need tens of thousands of pairs of stainless steel armor, and your ocean transportation is quite troublesome, I suggest that you build factories in Tianjin and other places, and Daming can pick up the goods nearby. ”

Gabriel instantly understood what Emperor Ming meant, and his face was bitter.

From Spain to Daming, the ship has to sail for six months, and the war horse has been adrift at sea for a long time, and the probability of survival is definitely not high, which is a high-cost business.

If it is shipped to Daming, and then the price is discussed, there is no way out for him, and he will definitely be slaughtered by Daming, such an obvious loss business, he is not willing to do it.

There is also the construction of a factory in Tianjin, which looks very attractive, but it is impossible for him to pull the Spaniards all the way to Daming to work as steelworkers, and he must recruit workers in Daming.

Isn't this to help Daming train technicians!

In time, once the workers of the Ming Dynasty mastered the art of blacksmithing, they were at risk of being driven away.

This Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is too shrewd!

Seeing Gabriel's hesitation, Chongzhen put a little pressure on him: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to, I believe that the Dutch and the Portuguese will be happy to do business with Daming!" ”
