Charlie's angry words were not recognized by his companions. After all, for many years they had thought that the Ming Dynasty was a hard nut to crack and not worth it.

"So what if it's unfair, we can't take it away!

Nicholas's navy was too strong, and the Ming Dynasty had a large population, so it was easy to fight with hundreds of thousands of people. You can read in the newspaper that there were more than 100,000 of them fighting against more than 100,000 of the slaves.

With so many people, we can’t keep up with the gunpowder just by feeding the bullets, and we can’t attack at all.”

"Nicholas Zheng Yiguan? His ships have few of the latest ships, and we have just begun to build more new ships.

Now they are just relying on numbers to defeat us. Even the artillery on their ships can't hit us. They didn't have huge benefits before, and they have a good relationship with the Ming people in the south.

The East India Company didn't move because it thought it was uneconomical. Now with this, it can grow dozens or hundreds of times.

Even if we destroy one East Indies, as long as we capture the Ming Dynasty, there will be ten or hundreds of East Indies.

By then, the Ming Dynasty's silk, porcelain, bicycles, and penicillin will all be ours, and we can all become directors and become great nobles."

Listening to Charlie's words, several people gradually began to think seriously. Charlie was one of the directors' spokespersons, and he was also a person that the directors were very optimistic about.

I have been looking for opportunities to rise over the years, and now this is an opportunity.

"But you haven't said anything about the fact that there are too many people in the Ming Dynasty."

"A lot of people? Not many Ah San people? Not many Americans?

As long as our firearms are sharp enough, the people of the Ming Dynasty will have to be obedient.

We have the latest flintlock muskets, the rate of fire alone can hit Ming soldiers home for milk, we also have artillery, and grenades that can explode."

"Charlie, is this the board of directors' pleasure? As far as I know, the board of directors also planned to forcefully open the Ming Dynasty."

The companions stared at Charlie with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

"No, that's not what the board means, but it can be what the board means, as long as we write what we see.

In a decadent country, their emperor was so poor that he could only do business. Their ministers and countless nobles controlled the country in an extremely decentralized manner.

They have countless wealth, including bicycles, small boxes, mirrors, clothes, and penicillin, but they do not have a strong army to protect the country.

These are all gold, dozens of golden mountains, aren’t you excited?”

In Charlie's words, the pirate genes of the four Europeans began to operate. At this time, everyone was no longer thinking about doing business, but how to trade without capital.

As the illegitimate son of a duke, Charles wanted to become a noble most, and he made more efforts for this than a commoner.

"As long as we gather 20,000 people and fight from Tianjin to the capital as quickly as possible, we will defeat the corrupt bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty.

And with the loose defenses we saw along the way, I’m afraid the Ming Emperor was killed and all parties haven’t reacted yet.”

"Xie Te, Charlie, have you ever read the history of the Ming Dynasty? Their country has 700,000 imperial troops stationed in the capital. The two small towns we came to along the way each have tens of thousands of troops stationed."

"Charlie, originally I thought you had some perfect plan, but this is what happened? You just looked at the benefits, but you couldn't see the noose that Satan would put on you later."

None of the four people talked about the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they did not understand the situation of the Ming Dynasty. They had only seen more or less propaganda about the Ming Dynasty.

Listening to the crowd laughing, Charlie became anxious.

"You low-class pariahs, you guys who are not even knights, don't you want to be made a duke and baron?

Among the cities along this route, which one has a garrison with a large number of firearms?

As long as we are fast enough, our flintlock rifles can easily defeat them, just like the Luzon monkeys.

As long as the Ming Emperor is controlled, the threat of Nicholas will no longer exist."

"What Charlie said seems to be correct. The Ming Dynasty's army along the way didn't look much stronger than those in Luzon.

People in India can become servants, why can’t people from Ming Dynasty?”

"Hey, Phyllis, I'd say you are the most likely to become a duke, as long as you convince your directors to join.

When the money comes from robbing the Ming Dynasty, he will become the king and you will become the duke. Will those princesses and ladies be free to do whatever you want? Why stay in that wretched place in Luzon?"

Several people gradually began to become fanatical. Although the East India Company suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong, that was before, and now they have greater interests in front of them, and they have already thought of a fight.

Several people even jumped out of the car excitedly and ran to each car in the convoy to make a public announcement. In front of Charlie were two cars from Japan, and at this time, Charlie stepped forward.

"Baga, can't you see there are women in this car?"

"Sorry, sowry."

Just as Charlie was about to drag the Japanese into the water, he climbed onto the carriage and was scolded. The person who got off with him was Ichiro Kikuta.

"Tell me what's going on."

The carriage was not moving very fast, and was even a little slow. The two of them could keep up while talking quickly.

"Well, I want to invite you to do something.

We are preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty. It only takes one day from Tianjin Port to the capital, and due to the canal, we can go further.

As long as we have an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people with advanced firearms, we can quickly capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, hang the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then support a new emperor.

And this requires your help, and you need to work with me to persuade your Japanese generals that it is feasible to attack the Ming Dynasty.

When the time comes, we will share in half the benefits of attacking the Ming Dynasty. We will not need the land that the Japanese country will gain."

"Nani?"

Ichiro Kikuta, who originally spoke Dutch, was instantly frightened out of his native language.

However, as Charlie explained, he gradually felt that the matter was feasible. The Ming Kingdom had to understand this way, and there were also messages from the Ming Kingdom that were often sent back through caravans from the south.

With no military strength but no organization, local occupation and servitude has become a routine, and uprisings are endless. It seems that the Japanese country really has a chance?

Their own ambitions are gradually burning up. There is a saying that takes advantage of your illness to kill you. The Ming Dynasty has been sick for too long.

"I need to consider the head of the family. The main purpose of our trip is to reach cooperation with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. Other than that, we need to consider the long term."

"Yes, yes, it's no problem. We didn't say we would attack immediately. The Ming Dynasty is currently fighting in Jinzhou. As long as we seize the opportunity and appear when they are at their weakest."

"Okay, Mr. Charlie, I need to get in the car and talk to the lady."

After Ichiro Kikuta got in the car, he recounted the matter to Hezi Kikuta in detail.

"Ogisan, what do you think is the chance of success in this matter?"

"It's hard to say. We need to stay in Ming Dynasty for a period of time to see the situation, but based on previous records, I think it is feasible."

"I think it's a bit dangerous for flax. The battle of the Ming Dynasty Civil War has shown that although the emperor and his ministers were not of the same mind, they were very protective of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, they are extremely protective of their own interests. Even if we kidnap the emperor and the emperor surrenders to us, the ministers can completely establish a new emperor."

Listening to Kikuta Heko's words, Kikuta Ichiro also remembered the previous historical records of the Ming Dynasty. The dynamics of the Tumubao incident fully demonstrated that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should have been similar to the Japanese emperor.

The people who really call the shots behind the scenes now are actually the shopkeepers of the royal merchants or the ministers and families. They don't care who the emperor is at all, they only care whether the emperor will betray their family's interests.

Of course, this is because the Japanese people know their own affairs and put it out in the open. Long live the emperor.

"We'd better find the family behind the Royal Company first. If they cooperate, we can make money together.

If they don't cooperate, I will find a way to break into them and wait for the generals to arrive."

"Hey Ogisama, please do it for the Kikuta family."

Kneeling Ichiro Kikuta bowed in salute.

"Banduma, Abel, let me tell you, I have a plan, that is to attack the Ming Dynasty... Wuwuwu..."

Listening to Charlie's beginning, Banduma and Abel were frightened. They stretched out their hands to cover Charlie's mouth, and looked guiltily at the more than 50 Jin Yiwei riding in front of them.

"Are you crazy? Can you say such a thing?"

"Fake, Fake, if you feel that life is enough, or if you want to be a rich man, you can go and fight the Japanese and the Slavs in Europe, but you must not go after the Ming Dynasty."

"Why?"

Charlie, who was let go, looked at the two Ming Guotongs, confused.

"Because the Ming Dynasty is very powerful!"

"Because the Ming Dynasty had many soldiers."

After hearing these two reasons, Charlie laughed directly.

"Two gentlemen, have you not stayed in the Ming Dynasty for so long that you have forgotten how powerful the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Holy Roman Empire are?"

Then Charlie talked about the original plan, as well as about the Ming Dynasty's class, the Ming Dynasty's firearms and firepower, what they heard when they were in Tianjin, the Battle of Jinzhou, and the newspapers about the decisive battle they saw before setting off.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of newspapers, do you know what they used to make those paintings so real?

Also, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has put all his troops on the front line. At this time, the Ming Dynasty is in an empty state, which is our best opportunity."

Chongzhen did not release the news about how many people there were in the Royal Army, nor did he say anything about breaking it into pieces and training new troops in each government.

In addition, the expedition occurred after the conscription, so Charles, including Abel and Banduma, did not know that there were still three regiments in the capital.

"We don't know what technology the people of the Ming Dynasty used. We only know that it is very magical. All of this is inseparable from a man called the shopkeeper. He is the shopkeeper of the Royal Merchant Company."

"Shopkeeper? Just fuck him when the time comes."

Charlie thought for a while and said directly, with the content in the newspaper, he was more confident.

"Charlie, I advise you to give up this idea, the Ming Dynasty is not empty.

In fact, great changes have taken place in the Ming Dynasty. Their emperor used to be very short of food and money, but now he has become very luxurious.

And the Royal Army you mentioned, even if they all go, there are still many people in the entire North Zhili who have joined the army, and they will be the next batch of Royal Army. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not as simple as you think."

(Ask for monthly ticket.

These two chapters are to pave the way for the following, so I will go into details and pave the way for the Europeans to invade the Ming Dynasty in advance. Otherwise, according to the original history, because of Zheng Zhilong's relationship, they would first invade the Japanese country and then the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Chapter completed!
