"Your Majesty, in fact, this is not the first time that the minister has seen this kind of full-body plate armor, although it is more well-made." Qi Jiguang looked at the little emperor and talked about the past.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and he said suspiciously: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

Qi Jiguang said with a sad face: "In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, Zhu Kun, the governor of Zhejiang, swept away the nest of the widows in Shuangyu in the Zhoushan Islands of Zhejiang. ”

"Iron armor is this kind of full-body plate armor, and it is a piece of armor."

"I see, it turned out to be iron armor, all in one piece." Zhu Yijun nodded again and again, Da Ming didn't know anything about plate armor, even Qi Jiguang had seen it with his own eyes, but this kind of armor was too expensive to be installed.

"This Zhu Kun, Jiajing began to settle the widow in the twenty-seventh year, why haven't I heard of his deeds?" Zhu Yijun was unfamiliar with Zhu Kun's name.

Qi Jiguang's face was unbearable, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Zhu Kun later committed suicide, according to the deputy envoy Ke Qiao, Lu Bo, the general soldier of Zhejiang, was sentenced to behead and show the public, and then the second general was exempted from capital crimes. ”

"Suicide Mingzhi?" Zhu Yijun frowned, and looked at Qi Jiguang with a slightly puzzled expression, can Ping Wei still make trouble to the point of suicide?

Qi Jiguang actually didn't want to talk about the dirtiness of the past, now Daming is rejuvenating, everything is getting better, the dirtiness of the past has disappeared with time, but Qi Jiguang thought about it again and again, and still said: "Your Majesty is detailed." ”

"At that time, the world had been peaceful for a long time, and the traitors came and went without permission, colluding with the Japanese and the Franco, in Ningbo's Shuangyu, the countries traded with each other, and the management had a quality contract, and the history was well-founded."

"And the house of the powerful in the southeast has supported this mutual market, and the house of the powerful has supported, naturally no one dares to touch these two mutual markets, but there are more and more people who are widows, Franco, black fans and outlaws, and the house of the powerful cannot be restrained, and they frequently violate Xinjiang."

"Governor Zhu Kun went to Zhejiang, rectified the coastal defense, and the general army Lu Bo, exterminated the Japanese invaders everywhere, and the family of the powerful and wealthy lost their selfishness, lost huge profits, and wantonly created public opinion, saying that the thieves killed by Zhu Kun and Lu Bo were all good, not thieves. The officials of the DPRK and China impeached him one after another. ”

"Zhu Kun, Lu Bo and others, the thieves of Wen, Pan, and Nanji, fought for three months, broke it, returned the state mine thieves, and finally exterminated the smugglers in Shuangyu."

"Zhan Rong, the squire of the Ministry of War, Chen Jiude, the inspector of the Fujian Imperial History, and Weng Wanjian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, impeached Zhu Kun for killing without authorization, and the military department all inspected and interrogated Du Ruzhen and Chen Zongkui of the Imperial History, and convicted Zhu Kun of killing without permission."

"Zhejiang Inspector Zhu Kun, suicide Mingzhi."

Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment and said: "It's like what Wang Bai and Huang Qing did in Tuen Mun and Haojing?" ”

"Your Majesty." Qi Jiguang said with grief: "After the death of Zhu Kun, the governor of Zhejiang, no one dared to accept the position of governor of Zhejiang, Zhu Kun, Lu Bo and others revitalized the 41 Zhejiang Guards and built 439 warships. ”

"Deputy envoy Ding Zhan, I am afraid that the fire at the city gate will affect the pond fish, and all the guards and warships will be dismissed.

Qi Jiguang talked about this past, his face was sad, after decades of struggle, he finally reached a compromise under the collision of contradictions, but in the process of this struggle, the people in the southeast were injured the most.

"I see." Zhu Yijun nodded solemnly, whether the peace and the unequal, whether the peace and the war are completely peaceful have also experienced frequent and bloody struggles, and finally became the current state of balance, but in this balance, there are new contradictions.

No wonder Feng Bao angrily scolded the southeast gentry in the Wenhua Palace, lest adding a pass would not be conducive to doing business, and he refused to live or die, this is not empty words, it is a summary of decades of struggle.

And now, the Ming Dynasty wants to set up a government-run city department in Songjiang Prefecture, and a new struggle has begun.

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Will Yin Zhengmao be fine?" He expelled Haojing Hongmao Fan and confiscated his private affairs. ”

Qi Jiguang's face was strange, and he said with a little embarrassment: "No, Yin Zhengmao is a bad person." ”

It's not just Zhang Juzheng who protects Yin Zhengmao, Yin Zhengmao himself is a big bad guy.

"Bad guy..."Zhu Yijun heard Qi Jiguang say this, and showed a smile, Yin Zhengmao is a big corrupt official known to the world, a big bad guy, and a big bad guy who is worse than the powerful people in the extreme south, so the powerful people in the extreme south can't help Yin Zhengmao who is holding the knife, so Yin Zhengmao dares to confiscate the private affairs of Baigang, and dares to send Wang Bai and Huang Qing to Beijing to impeach them for losing their land.

Zhejiang Governor Zhu Su is a good person, so he committed suicide, and Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Liangguang, is a bad person, a bad person who is worse than Quan Hao.

The wicked still need to be grinded by the wicked.

Qi Jiguang saw that His Majesty could understand what he was talking about, and then continued: "The southeast seized two red-haired iron armors, which are completely different from today's iron armor, the southeast captured iron armor is extremely thin, thinner than the steel sheet lined with our Daming cloth armor. ”

"If the steel plate lining my Daming cloth armor is one thick, then the iron armor captured in the southeast is only half thick, and the plate armor presented by the envoy of the Great Buddha Lang Machine is two or three thick."

Plate armor and plate armor are not exactly the same, the nobles use this plate armor in front of them, at least about three millimeters thick, forty-five pounds of weight. Instead of the nobility, the plate armor used by the low-ranking infantry was a thin layer.

The plate armor used by the aristocracy and even the royal family of Tessie was made by craftsmen, who measured it from head to toe with calipers inch by inch to get the right size of the plate armor, and then dozens of craftsmen made it by hand, requiring all kinds of special tools, even the hammer was divided into different types and various parts, and was tailored to the user's figure.

"This kind of roasted blue has a pattern, and it looks very thick at first glance, Qi Shuai can also shoot and wear it?" Zhu Yijun was a little unconvinced, the plate armor design has many arcs, and these arcs are effectively deflected and unloaded, what kind of strength does this have to shoot through?

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Try?" Zhu Yijun's martial arts room is a shooting range, supporting the plate armor offered by Li Yashi, and then filling it with pork ribs, completely supporting it.

Qi Jiguang walked to the school field and picked up the tiger power bow, the tiger power bow, more than one hundred and twenty pounds, the distance is two feet eight minutes and five centimeters, and the arrow is two two or four coins flat Siling armor-piercing arrow, the arrow cluster is all steel, and the cold light is cold.

Qi Jiguang was warming up, but Zhu Yijun interrupted Qi Jiguang's warm-up and said, "Qi Shuai, let Li Rusong come." ”

Qi Jiguang is forty-five years old, at this age, his physical function has declined, and if he opens this kind of strong bow again, especially if he tries to break the plate armor, if Qi Jiguang is strained, where will Zhu Yijun cry? Qi Jiguang doesn't care for his body, and Zhu Yijun still has to cherish his general!

"The minister can still drive!" Qi Jiguang was very unconvinced and said, "It's really possible." ”

"That can't be pulled, call Li Rusong and let him open a strong bow, he can also open a tiger power bow." Zhu Yijun still refused, and signaled to call Li Chengliang's eldest son Li Rusong, Li Rusong was in his early twenties, which was at his peak.

Qi Jiguang couldn't resist it, this was His Majesty's intention to protect him, and he could only wait aside.

Li Rusong came to the martial arts room with his back on his back, and saluted in a sullen voice: "Meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty is mighty!" ”

"No courtesy, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun briefly introduced the test, Li Rusong asked His Majesty to move farther away to watch the ceremony and start to warm up, this warm-up time is a little longer, and Zhu Yijun is also the first time to see it.

Zhu Yijun also said with an eye-opener: "No wonder in the Song Dynasty, every time those archers fired an arrow, the general had to give a reward immediately, otherwise those archers would not shoot arrows, it turned out to be so troublesome." ”

When Qi Jiguang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Archers are expensive and not easy to cultivate, so I have always admired bird guns. ”

At present, in the second year of Wanli, the bow and arrow shoot far and powerful, but Qi Jiguang still highly recommends cultivating guns, because guns are cheap.

Aren't the guns of firearms, gunpowder, and buckshot expensive, but aren't the bows and arrows of archers expensive?

Li Rusong finally warmed up, held the Huli bow in his hand, closed his eyes and supported the big frame, constantly adjusted his breathing, put the heavy arrow on the bowstring, slowly opened his eyes, slowly pulled the bowstring, pulled to the full moon, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he let go suddenly, and the arrow shot out as quickly as cold light.

"Whoosh!"

The cluster of arrows shot out like a match, and flew straight towards the plate armor, and with a loud bang, sparks flew everywhere, and the arrow pierced into the plate armor, and the arrow shaft was visibly bent and then straightened, and the arrow was bounced in again.

The first time Zhu Yijun saw the Tiger Power Bow fired, he was willing to call it a battering ram launcher, where is this thing still an arrow?

In his eyes, Li Rusong has turned into a humanoid Gundam.

"What was the movement just now?" Zhu Yijun looked at this scene dumbfounded, he had just heard a sharp sound like a bird chirping.

Qi Jiguang was puzzled for a moment, judged the little emperor's question clearly, and said: "Mingdi, there is a sound when the arrow is fired, there is a sound of the arrow, and there is also a sound of the heavy arrow." ”

If you don't shoot arrows, the sound of beeping is indeed rare.

Li Rusong put down the tiger power bow, moved his body, and kept looking at it with his head probed, he was also looking forward to the result, the last time he provoked Qi Jiguang and Tan Lun, he was taught two rounds of lessons, and Li Rusong was not confident.

Twenty paces of arrows, he was very confident that he could penetrate it, but the result was not out, and he was still a little apprehensive.

"Shot through, shot through." Zhang Hong ran to take the armor that had been shot through, put it in front of the emperor and said, "From the upper left side of the lungs, three inches into the flesh, the ribs are broken." ”

Zhang Hong reported the results, and Li Rusong was relieved.

Zhu Yijun looked at the broken pork chops, the arrow drilled three inches under the meat, which was fatally wounded, and Zhu Yijun looked at the broken steel surface of the plate armor, and also let Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong, who were waiting on the side, look at it.

"White iron, this is not steel, is it?" The more Li Rusong looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, no matter how he looked at it, this thing didn't look like a hundred steel, but more like white iron, he asked with some disbelief.

Qi Jiguang looked at it seriously and said, "It is indeed iron." ”

The square object of the big Buddha Lang machine man's tribute, Greenwich-style plate armor, is made of iron, not steel, the carbon content of white iron is 2.5%, and the carbon content of steel in the general sense does not exceed 1.7%, Qi Jiguang has been fighting for decades, whether it is steel or iron, and it can still be distinguished by looking at the fracture.

"Shoddy! The big Buddha Lang machine man sacrificed things, and he also used iron to fool me! The little emperor said angrily.

Zhang Hong thought for a while and said, "Is there a possibility that the Taixi people think this is steel?" ”

"This is Daming, naturally according to Daming's standards!" Zhu Yijun said with certainty that to deceive the Ming Emperor, you have to pay the price, this is a typical blackmail, insidious and cunning little emperor, playing a political method called making cards out of thin air.

Creating trouble out of thin air, followed by further diplomatic fraud, was a common tactic used by the Angsa barbarians in later generations.

Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong were silent and didn't say more, the quality of this thing is already excellent, Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong believe that the big Buddha Lang is human, not intentionally.

The Ming Emperor is supreme, ruling thousands of people, the little emperor who is supported by the people, the royal things, are naturally of high quality, steel and white iron, now look at the world, only the Ming Dynasty has this standard.

But Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong didn't say anything, they were just military generals.

Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao to come over, tailored Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong, and prepared to create a pair of steel plate armor for the two of them.

Qi Jiguang saw that the little emperor really planned to make it, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this thing can still be used during etiquette, and it can't be used on the battlefield." ”

"We have a bed crossbow in Daming, called the three-bow Mu crossbow, about the size of a table, the arrow is a gun and three swords and arrows, that is, the spear is used as an arrow, and the bed crossbow of seventy people is a target, wearing such a body on the battlefield is a target, and the enemy will know that this is a general."

"In the battle of Song Liaozhou, the Liao Dynasty unified army Xiao Tzu Rin, self-assured bravery, fresh clothes and angry horses, led dozens of light horsemen to patrol under the city of Lanzhou, and the Song army Weihu head Zhang Xuan and Zhou Wenzhen hit Xiao Tzu Rin with a bed crossbow."

The three-bow crossbow of seventy people is a sharp weapon for defending the city, specializing in sniping the front-line generals of the fresh-clothed angry horses, and now there are cannons, what is the significance of this thing on the battlefield?

"If I ride well, I don't need more, three thousand people are heavily ridden, and everyone wears such heavy armor, and they will be invincible." Zhu Yijun thought about it and said, it is not suitable for large-scale installation, so he will take the elite route.

Qi Jiguang swallowed his throat secretly, three thousand plate armored cavalry, Your Majesty really dares to think about it!

Qi Shuai sighed and said, "Three thousand... Da Situ is afraid that he will leave the dynasty immediately, and 800 is probably the limit. ”

"Let's play first, in case we get better one day!" When Zhu Yijun heard this, he exhaled, people are poor and short-sighted, and poverty is the shortcoming of the Ming Dynasty, not the shortcomings of the plate armor.

"Your Majesty, to be able to create such an armored country, it is no longer an ordinary barbarian, you should be cautious and cautious, what does this red-haired fan mean, you still need to be cautious." From the perspective of military professionalism, Qi Jiguang talked about the fact that this big Buddha Lang machine man is completely different from the barbarians around Daming.

The creation of armor or ordnance can reflect his national strength to a certain extent.

The firearms and other things of the little Franco machine man are no different from the Ming Dynasty, which is already very terrifying, the Ming Dynasty is a behemoth in the known world, and the military, politics, culture, economy, etc. of the little Franco machine man do not seem to have much gap with the Ming Dynasty.

In less than fifty years, the big Buddha Lang machine people once again came into the sight of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was their merchant ships, firearms, armor, they all had unique features, and it could even be said that they had a leading place, which required vigilance.

The sky is always changing, the earth is changing, and the people are changing, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to maintain its own military superiority, commodity superiority, and cultural superiority, for example, in the commodity of the ship, the Ming Dynasty has completely lost its commodity advantage.

This is a reality that is difficult to accept, but has to be accepted, for the self-proclaimed Celestial Empire, or for the Ming Dynasty, which has the distinction of Huayi.

While scolding the other party for being a barbarian, and at the same time buying the other party's things, this kind of mentality of being a pawn and standing up is not good for the country.

After the loss of armament, commodity and cultural superiority, it will lose its political superiority, and the final result is that the Ming Dynasty will slide down from the unattainable Celestial Empire.

On that day, the Ming Dynasty, or the Central Plains, will sink in hell.

"People have their own strengths, people are like this, and so is the country, Qi Shuai is worried and I also understand, a boat can hold four million taels of silver, and I have never underestimated them across the sea." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Being weak and backward is the result of arrogance. ”

"The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and learning from each other's strengths to keep the chaff from the chaff is the root of the contradiction."

Qi Jiguang found that his worries were completely redundant, and the little emperor didn't know if he was not good at studying, he didn't learn Huayi's discrimination, or he was more accepting of foreign things, or he had a pure heart and pure white quality, the little emperor didn't seem to be very surprised that Daming was lagging behind in a certain field, and he accepted this status quo calmly, and did not become angry, and chose to deal with the distance with arrogance.

"Your Majesty." Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong said.

Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to hang up the plate armor again, and then took out his thirty-four pound soft bow, aimed at the plate armor and shot at it, the arrow hit the plate armor with a soft sound, and fell to the ground.

There is no doubt that Zhu Yijun's soft armor light arrow landed on the plate armor, leaving a small pit, let alone a hole.

Zhu Yijun's daily martial arts practice began.

In the afternoon, Li Yashi and Antonio, who were in the pavilion, saw the potted plate armor, and the hole in the middle made Li Yashi stunned.

"How is this possible? How can it be? Li Yashi said with great annoyance: "Even the English longbowmen can't leave such a wound on the plate armor!" Impossible, absolutely impossible! ”

"This is our two-two-four-dollar flat four-pinch armor-piercing arrow, and a tiger power bow of more than one hundred and twenty catties." Honglu Temple Qing Chen Xuexue put the armor-piercing bow and arrow on the table and said with a smile: "Slow down, don't get hurt." ”

The general translated the words accurately, and Li Yashi held the arrow, inserted the arrow cluster into the wound, and closed it tightly, and it was the arrow that injured the plate armor.

This is the bow and arrow that injured the plate armor, even Antonio couldn't believe it, but the truth was right in front of him.

Chen Society, is the first year of Wanli November, from the Ministry of Yunnan Department Lang Zhongshu Lang Lang to Honglu Temple Qing Zuo Shaoqing, he did not have Honglu Temple Qing above, the previous Honglu Temple Secretary was deposed because of the loss of the dynasty.

Chen Xuexue is the official of Honglu Temple, and he is in charge of Honglu Temple.

The tributary trade of the Ming Dynasty has been completely destroyed because of the rebellion in the Jiajing period, and the Honglu Temple itself has become an idle department, except for Korea and the Ryukyus, the Honglu Temple basically has no errands at all.

The Ming Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty's Gong City are completely controlled by the Jin Party, in the hands of the Xuanda Governor Fu Wang Chonggu, and have nothing to do with the Honglu Temple.

Chen Xuexue is Zhang Dang, Jiajing forty-four years of Jinshi, was arranged by Zhang Juzheng in this position, is a move, after the success of the training in the Ming Jing camp, when Zhang Juzheng was about to launch a general attack on the Jin Party, Chen Xuexue wanted to put the errand of Beiyugong City back into the management of the imperial court.

And Chen Xuexue didn't expect that when he was waiting for the success of the training in Beijing, he first waited for the errand to receive the big Buddha Lang Jiren.

This is not a difficult matter, because Da Ming has received the envoy of the little Francophile before.

Chen Xuexue said with a serious face: "Your Supreme Majesty, you attach special importance to the visit of the Great Buddha Langji, and are willing to learn the Chinese language like the Emperor of Wumiao, exchange ideas, and prevent people from deceiving in the middle. ”

Li Yashi's sweat flowed out, and he anxiously explained: "No, no, we have great sincerity to visit, hoping to establish good diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, we really bring great sincerity, this Greenwich plate armor is the best quality armor in our hands, although his name is Greenwich plate armor, but it is completely made by Milan craftsmen." ”

Under Li Yashi's explanation, Chen learned to understand the ins and outs.

There was a country called England in Tessie, and England produced a wife-killing king, Henry VIII, who liked to behead his wife and had a peculiar passion for plate armor, and Henry VIII spent his life collecting all kinds of armor.

England's armor-making process was very poor, Henry VIII liked to buy Milan, Flanders, Innsbruck and other famous armor-making plates, and then put on a layer of Greenwich plate armor, over time, Greenwich plate armor, became a synonym for high quality, can be collected by Henry VIII, become the affirmation of craftsmen.

"Our king is really sincere, sent me here to communicate with the Ming Dynasty, even though your country has repeatedly emphasized that you can't preach, but I still came here, didn't I?" Li Yashi explained with a slight flustery.

The Armada is powerful, but really expensive, and at the moment Spain, the first empire on which the sun never sets, is in a quirky atmosphere.

Spain is very rich, with the most gold and silver in the world, but so much gold and silver, circulating in Spain, has caused a very terrible economic result, that is, prices soaring, with the Age of Discovery, gold and silver have been continuously transported back to Spain, prices have risen year after year, is the limit of the gap between the rich and the poor.

Gold and silver were concentrated in the hands of a few, prices were rising, and residents were complaining.

Therefore, when Felipe II sent Le Yasit to the Ming Dynasty, he made a point of explaining that by carrying out such commercial activities, the inhabitants could immediately increase their wealth income.

Felipe II is ready to declare the country bankrupt again next year and the year after, because the gap between the rich and the poor caused by too much currency and many problems such as taxation have exhausted Spain, which has an invincible armada.

After Li Yashi arrived in Daming, after witnessing the prosperity here, he fell into an inexplicable passionate emotion!

As long as you can trade with Daming, then Spain's economic problems will be greatly alleviated!

"Oh, really?" Chen Xuexue looked at Li Yashi, pointed to the plate armor and said: "But the national gift you paid tribute was pierced by a bow and arrow, this is not our bed crossbow, as well as artillery and firearms, the general of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Anbo Qi Jiguang, is very interested in your artillery, I don't know if you can borrow a few to watch one or two?" ”

"You know, our general Jian is in the heart of the emperor, and the holy family is long, if you can make Qi Shuai happy and say a few good words for you, this matter will be over."

"What do you say?"

Chen Xuexue came with a mission, Qi Jiguang named the Franco cannon of the big Buddha Lang machine, the artillery of the big and small Franc machine is very similar, they are all rear-loading smoothbore cannon iron cannons, which are composed of three parts: the barrel, the belly and the sub-cannon, which are similar to the sub-cannon of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the artillery of the Little Franc machine man is not airtight, has a short firing range, and has little power, while the artillery of the Big Franc machine man seems to have another solution.

At present, the artillery on the accounts of the Ming Dynasty includes more than 30,000 artillery pieces such as naval guns, city defense artillery, chariot artillery, field artillery, infantry artillery, cavalry artillery, etc., and the Ming Dynasty has its own solution, but Qi Jiguang also wants to see the solution of the big Buddha Lang machine.

The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses is the general program of foreign exchanges put forward by His Majesty.

And Chen Xuexue took the pierced plate armor and forced Li Yashi to release his sincerity.

The little emperor launched something out of nothing and made cards out of thin air.

Li Yashi calmed down, he thought for a moment and asked, "If I can meet His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Great Ming, I can agree." ”

Li Yashi put forward his request to meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor, which was a huge breakthrough in the diplomacy between Spain and the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Spanish occupied Luzon, they have tried their best to deal with the Ming Dynasty many times, but at most they have communicated with the local government, and the biggest official they have seen is Luo Gongchen, the Tongzhi of Haiphong of the Wupin Metropolitan Salary Pavilion.

This is prone to misunderstandings, such as the fact that the governor of Luzon, Francisco, always confused diplomatic relations with missionary relations, when in fact the king lost his interest in mission.

This stems from the fact that after the love story between Felipe II and Queen Elisabeth Valois ended tragically, the king had some doubts about religion.

Queen Elizabeth's first childbirth was a difficult birth, and the court apothecary washed the queen in disregard of religious etiquette, and then changed into clean clothes and mattresses, which saved Queen Elizabeth's life, and the court pharmacist was executed for offending the majesty of religion.

The fourth birth was premature, and Queen Elizabeth died because she did not have clean clothes and mattresses, and her health deteriorated dramatically.

From then on, Felipe II became less trusting of the rituals of these religions, no longer enthusiastic about proselytizing, and changed from a devout believer to a terrible king.

Felipe II became less enthusiastic about missionary work, he became more pragmatic, and he repeatedly came into conflict with the Holy See.

The Ming court was extremely cautious about missionary attitude, and Li Yashi had to meet the Ming Emperor to make it clear to face that missionary work was not necessary, and that the complementarity between the two empires was very beneficial to each other.

"A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and Your Majesty Chrysostom promised to meet you and others, so you don't have to worry about it every day." Chen Xuexue once again made a guarantee, although the Ministry of Rites was not very happy, but Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, thought that the little emperor should meet the foreign envoy.

On the fifth day of the third month of the third month, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to complete the many communication of the audience etiquette, negotiate the terms of trade with each other, the purchase of ships, and other matters before the third day of the fourth month.

Chen Gakkai and Le Ya Si began to meet frequently, and after lengthy negotiations, they settled on a treaty of trade with each other.

It is not so much a treaty as a prohibition, and there are five in total.

First: It is forbidden to store and sell Japanese slaves, black fans, outlaws, and those who trade on foreign ships, and they will not be forgiven;

Second: it is forbidden to buy the population, all new and old merchants are not allowed to buy the children of the Ming people, and there is no forgiveness for violators;

Thirdly, it is forbidden to pay for the warships, and those who enter the harbor to open guns, open bows, and fire guns to fill the medicine will be burned by the ship, people and goods;

Fourth, it is forbidden to buy smuggled goods, traitors sneak transportation, and the goods obtained are not reported by officials with awards;

Fifth: It is forbidden to build without authorization, and those who build a piece of earth and wood without permission shall be demolished and burned, and the crime will still be aggravated.

These five prohibitions correspondingly apply to Ming ships, which went to Luzon or, later, to Mexico, Peru, and even Spain.

For the Ming Dynasty, the tributary trade in the past has completely collapsed, and the establishment of a new trade system has also become a change in the new trade policy that the Ming Dynasty opened the sea and explored.

For the prohibition on buying and selling, we will continue to explore and improve in maritime trade, such as the ban on raw silk in the nature of trade protection, which will also be gradually lifted in practice.

For Da Ming, especially for the Ministry of Rites, seeing the raw silk being practiced like this by the red hair, it was really angry and hateful, good silk, woven and dyed by them into that appearance, it really made Wan Shihe angry, scolding the barbarians is barbarians, not understanding etiquette, and it is a waste to give them good things!

Silk is one of the most important tools of the etiquette system of dividing the dignity and the inferiority, don't be noble and low, since the red hair fan wants to bathe the king, buy raw silk, weave and dye into that nondescript appearance, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Wanshi and naturally want to be angry, and specially let Chen Xuexue scold the envoy Li Yashi again.

On the third day of the fourth month of the second year of Wanli, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty once again held a permanent dynasty in the Huangji Palace, and Li Yashi waited anxiously outside the Chengtian Gate as the special envoy of the Great Buddha Langji, waiting for the announcement of the Ming Emperor.

Antonio looked at the nervous Li Yashi and said with a smile: "I don't think you should be so nervous, if you say the wrong thing because of nervousness, you will be spanked by the royal guards, that is, spanked, and passed back, it will definitely become a joke." ”

"Aren't you nervous?" Li Yashi looked at Antonio and asked suspiciously.

Antonio said very sincerely: "I was nervous too. ”

The English longbow excavated from the remains of the "Mary Rose" has a maximum weight of 150 to 160 pounds, while a pound in the Ming Dynasty is 596.8 grams, and the maximum pound of the England longbow is exactly one hundred and twenty-one pounds after conversion, that is, the range of the Great Ming Tiger Force, I have to say, the world is really wonderful. Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
