Chapter 341 The explanation for the new official’s appointment, Zhu Jonghong pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. I'm just a messenger and doing small business at the same time. All of this is the will of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

Tomorrow I will go and declare to the Habsburg staff over there, asking them to evacuate before September as well."

Tang Ruowang said seriously, seeing the expressions of several people who had seen a ghost and were dumbfounded, he felt secretly happy in his heart.

When I bring my troops later, wouldn't I be able to really give them a ghost?

"Hahaha! This is really the funniest joke I've heard this year. Father John, it would be a pity if you don't become a wandering poet. The whole European nobles will be your fans."

"John Adam, if you came here today to amuse us, then I admit that you did it, and you did a great job.

Okay, we are still very busy, let’s get down to business quickly. You asked us to come together and we are talking about the Emperor Ming’s will. What is his will?”

"I have already said that, under the auspices of His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."

Lucid and the others could no longer laugh. Looking at Tang Ruowang with a serious face, Lucid swore that he had heard correctly and that the people of the Ming Dynasty had really taken the wrong medicine.

"Shit! Who does the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty think he is? With their navy who don't even have a few cannons? Even Zheng Zhilong is worthy of it?

Sons of a bitch! We didn't listen to Charlie and went to trouble them. We just wanted to make friends with him, but instead they came to trouble us.

I will gather the warships tonight and set out tomorrow to sink all their naval forces and feed them to the fish.

I will sink all the Ming Dynasty’s terrible navy and send them to Ming Dynasty’s Nanjing.”

"Governor, calm down!

This may also be a cunning plan of the Ming people! They must have prepared a naval ambush and are just waiting for us to attack them.

John Adam, you must have betrayed God’s guidance, and you came to anger us on purpose, right?”

"Shit, the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat whatever they want, but they can't talk nonsense. I didn't tell you to attack the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the Ming Dynasty didn't lay an ambush. I just came to deliver a message asking you to evacuate. Don't attack the Ming Dynasty.

of."

"Fablo, what you said is possible, but people in the Ming Dynasty have always had low self-esteem and dare not make big moves in anything. There must be a reason for being so arrogant suddenly, and I believe Father John.

Father John Adam, do you mean that the Chinese did not ambush? Then can you tell us what went wrong with all this? Is the Ming Emperor out of his mind?"

Charles did not listen to his assistant, but looked at Tang Ruowang seriously to see if he was lying.

"Mr. Governor, you can completely believe me. The cargo I gave you is worth at least 100,000 ounces of gold coins. This cannot be false, right?

As for the ambush, you don’t have to worry. I arrived in Fujian five days ago, and the sailors on the ship were temporarily transferred by Zheng Zhilong. Only Zheng Zhilong knew the Ming Emperor’s arrogant thoughts, but there was no ambush.

Although I don’t know what the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty thought, I also think there was something wrong with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I know some details about this.

It is said that a mysterious and important figure in the Ming Dynasty advised him that you should be driven away, saying that if you were here, you would affect the business of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also asked me, who is better between you and the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty? God knows what the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty thought.

Just because he defeated those Jurchens who were all savages in their eyes, he asked me if I could defeat you.

What can I say? My official position is still in his hands, and my life is still in his hands. I can only say that you are only a little weaker than the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty.

I have already told him that you are not weak. If you can do business with the people of the Ming Dynasty peacefully, you are willing to rent Dongfan, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty refuses to do it. He said that since we have fought, what is there to talk about?"

Tang Ruowang said with an innocent face, Charles and others really believed it, because this reason was so real and so reasonable.

...that's just too nonsense.

"So, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty believed that we were weaker than him? Shit, so he had to travel thousands of miles to attack us with his army?

Or do you want Zheng Zhilong to attack us? Oh, I noticed that Zheng Zhilong has been training navy troops recently."

"The emperor who has already caused the whole country to suffer just for the sake of wiping out a few savage tribes.

At that time, I still didn’t believe Charlie when he said they were fighting a decisive battle. How big was the Ming Dynasty, and how many savages needed a decisive battle to defeat them? Now I really believe it, so blind and arrogant!!”

"You continue to listen to me. In short, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty not only thinks that he can easily crush you, but also drive you out.

Therefore, he also asked you to send a message to the United Provinces of the Netherlands and ask the Habsburg Kingdom to hand over at least 100 million ounces of silver.

He solemnly told me when I came here, asking you to send a message to the East India Company so that the entire Netherlands and the Habsburg Kingdom know that the Ming Emperor wants to declare war on the two countries.

If you want to make peace with him, you must send 100 million ounces of gold and 1 million ounces of silver as compensation for the occupation of Dongfan."

As Tang Ruowang described it, Senator Charles and Commander Louis looked at each other with disbelief and joking.

The several assistants below, including the finance manager, were already shaking their heads, each holding a lighter to light a cigarette for themselves.

"Oh God, this big man that the Ming Dynasty emperor believed in so much is a fallen angel under Satan! Is it Lucifer?"

"John, you are also from the Holy Roman Empire. We all come from the same place. Do you think the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will really launch a war against us? Or is he just scaring us? What is the situation with Zheng Zhilong?"

"How do I know? I am just a messenger. What did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty think? I have no money, and I..."

Tang Ruowang spread his hands, and Charles and Louis were a little angry.

"Shit. You are actually imitating the hypocrisy of these Ming people. I can offer you a price to buy your goods now, and I will give you another 10,000 ounces of silver, if you are willing to tell me."

"Okay, now that you have said that, let me tell you my opinion. I think you should organize a defense and resist the upcoming attack and temptation from the Ming people.

You also know that something is not right with Zheng Zhilong on the shore now. I saw it when I came here. He was actually training soldiers. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has ennobled him, so he must take action."

"But what if Zheng Zhilong really launches a powerful attack on us? Do we have to wait for death? This is not possible! We have to attack in advance and hit them in Nanjing!"

"So are we going to go to war with Zheng Zhilong? Then we have to talk to the Habsburg people.

When the time comes, we will unite to swallow up Zheng Zhilong’s fleet and capture Nanjing’s treasury.”

Charles and the Commissioner of Finance were clearly obsessed with waging war

"But time was too hasty. Zheng Zhilong has reduced his troops again. Now that he knows that we have received the news, he will definitely be on guard."

Lucid said with some worry. Unlike Charles and the financial commissioner, he only saw the money. He understood better that although Zheng Zhilong's ship cannon was not as advanced as theirs, they could peck each other to death even if they were novices.

"No, no, no, Mr. Charles! And Mr. Finance, please wait a moment. What Mr. Lucid said is very reasonable, and you haven't thought about a question: Is Zheng Zhilong willing to go to war with us?

What do the officials of the Ming Dynasty like to say? New official? Mount your horse and set off three fires. The war with us is the fire set by Zheng Zhilong.

But Zheng Zhilong’s confidence lies in his pirates. Could he possibly let his pirates lose all their wealth with us?

I asked Zheng Zhilong what he meant, and he also knew that there was no benefit in going against us, so he said that he could accompany us in a play.

As long as you are willing to give him one thousand ounces of gold and ten thousand ounces of silver, he can give you detailed information about the Ming Navy.

You all know that the Ming Dynasty Navy is in a state of decay. After you easily defeat the Ming Kingdom Navy, he will let you sink a few ships and the two sides will have a truce.

When the time comes, I will tell the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty that the United Provinces of the Netherlands are powerful and sincere, and then the products of the royal company, the spices and tea of ​​the Ming Dynasty will all belong to the Zheng family and the East India Company..."

What Tang Ruowang said made Charles and the others' eyes light up and they nodded repeatedly. This set of procedures was so familiar.

"I just said that Nicholas is God's most loyal believer. You didn't believe it before, but do you believe it now?

Haven't they been asking for spices and pearls from India recently? Let's contact him and give them to him, as long as he is willing to cooperate with us and obtain the trade routes of the Ming people."

"Lucid, as promised, you have to buy my goods now, so don't go back on your word!"

Tang Ruowang emphasized to the two of them, further increasing his identity as a traitor, making Charles and Louis nod repeatedly.

"John, don't worry, Charlie already said when he came back that the information you gave us this time is very useful.

I think we can make appropriate concessions in the conflict with Zheng Zhilong. At the same time, this is indeed a good opportunity to open up the Ming Dynasty’s trade routes. I must report your achievements to the king and give you a knighthood."

"The products of those royal merchants are so good. I don't know how the Emperor of Ming Dynasty made them. If it weren't for the empire..."

Charles did not continue. Regarding the fact that the empire was at war with the Habsburg Kingdom, they did not want to reveal it to Tang Ruowang, a young man who did not know his loyalty.

Tang Ruowang's mission was very successful, and he didn't feel any guilt, because in reality, he did not lie to them.

He also despises the so-called king's title. When the Ming Dynasty touches Europe in two years, he will have countless crowns on his head.

Knighting? A joke.

On the other side of the capital, the shock for the princes has just begun.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, the seven eunuchs walked into the hall in groups. The sound of the door opening, as well as the signs of Shen Wangfang, Daiwangfang, and Qingwangfang in their hands, also attracted the attention of all the clan members.

.

"My lords, we are the eunuchs of the imperial family. Our eunuch He Jie, who is a pen-writing eunuch, has been ordered by the emperor to explain to you the utensils and usage of the rooms in the Royal New Village.

Next, please follow us to the laboratory to learn how to use some electrified furniture so that everyone can live more comfortably in the capital."

After He Jie finished speaking, the princes who had already been unable to eat secretly thought in their hearts that they could finally move on to the next step.

"We also ask all princes to put down the tableware and follow us to the rooms of each royal family. Next, stewards will be assigned according to the royal family.

Our family is responsible for receiving the princes. Princes, please take a ride and visit the model house with the slaves.

As for all the princesses and princesses, please follow the female officers to the rest area, and they will introduce you to some entertainment methods."

After Zhu Gongzhen and Zhu Jionghong looked at each other, they stood up and walked towards He Jie who was bowing solemnly. In fact, the two of them felt that their stomachs were about to explode.

In other words, King Dai and King Jin were even better. During the period when they supervised the construction of this new royal village, they not only witnessed the wonders of Chongzhen, but also tried all the food, and it was not that amazing.

The group of seven people and one eunuch walked at the front and arrived in front of the neat prefabricated house.

"My lords, let's start from now on. First of all, the lock you see is a fingerprint combination lock.

Except for people who have set up fingerprints and can open it directly, everyone else needs a password to open it, just like this."
