Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Ming Dynasty didn't talk about the legal system. In this situation where the imperial power is supreme and the emperor firmly holds the military power, people's hearts and money bags, even if another 10 people are arrested, it will not have much impact.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't even worry about what happened to his two sons in Penglai - the European side was almost beating people's brains into dog brains, so there was no extra energy for Penglai.

What is more important right now is the news reported by Li Chengyan.

After being rubbed against the landlord several times by Ferdinand III, those barbarians in Europe finally figured out one thing.

If you want to win a battle, you can't rely on the equipment in your own hands, at least you have to get equipment that is not weaker than that in the hands of the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See.

The Holy Roman Empire was a feud that had lasted nearly 30 years. Both sides wanted the other to die immediately. No matter how crazy Ferdinand III was, he would not be able to help other countries buy arms.

And the Vatican is even more pitiful—the current Vatican is already forming a crusade, intending to spread the glory of the Lord all over the continent of Europe. For this reason, it did not hesitate to restart the original business such as indulgence coupons, and even the "magic medicine that can lead to heaven" ", Drugs have been taken out by them to publicize, and it has been proved that heaven does exist.

This kind of magical medicine was only sold by Cohen through the distant Ming Dynasty before, but now both of them have it, and it came out at the same time as the powerful firearms in their hands, which basically proves that these firearms came from far away. The Eastern Empire, Ming Dynasty.

And the only ones that have business dealings with Daming in terms of arms are the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See. It is unrealistic to count on these two. The only ones that can be counted on are Cohen and the East India Company.

It is not that the East India Company did not try to make a request for arms trade, but the replies received in Mughal, Java, Luzon and other places were all in order to maintain world peace. Ming did not sell arms, only for its own army equipment.

This kind of nonsense is just to deceive children.

People who can reach high positions will not have simple things, and they will not believe this kind of nonsense to fool children. If it is only equipped for Ming's army, how did the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire get the equipment?

In desperation, the East India Company had to invite Cohen out again, intending to let Cohen and Li Chengyan have a good contact.

Cohen was really strong, or Li Chengyan was enough to give Cohen face. Although he didn't agree to Cohen's trade request on the spot, he didn't refuse directly, but agreed to ask for instructions after returning to Daming.

This is already great news for Cohen and those countries in Europe.

You must know that before, Daming directly refused, let alone being able to get in touch with Li Chengyan.

Now that Li Chengyan has agreed to ask for instructions after going back, the matter is basically half successful, and the remaining half can only be blessed by God.

Emperor Chongzhen had already expected the European barbarians to find Li Chengyan and ask for a large amount of arms purchases, and even the Zhongji Temple had long deduced the existence of this possibility.

According to this possibility, if we continue to deduce it, there are nothing more than three results.

One is that these European barbarian countries were killed by the Holy Roman Empire when their arms were not in time;

The second is that these European barbarian countries received a large amount of arms, and their strength overtook the Holy Roman Empire to death;

The third possibility is that both sides will suffer, no one can do anything to the other, and enter a calm period again.

After synthesizing various information provided by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Dudufu of the Five Armies, Zhongjidian believes that it is time to sell firearms to these barbarians.

Not only to sell to them, but also to make a fuss about the amount of arms supplied by these barbarian countries and the amount of arms supplied by the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See, so that the three parties can continue to develop films, and don't settle down easily.

To put it simply, this time, we need to sell more equipment to these barbarian countries in Europe, and next time we need to sell more equipment to the Holy Roman Empire. As for the Holy See, let’s not consider it for the time being, and continue to maintain the current quantity.

The strength of the two parties is unbalanced, and the party occupying the top will think about attacking, trying to gain benefits for itself while taking revenge, and the party who has suffered a loss will definitely think about revenge.

When the two parties are unable to fight in the future, then support the Holy See, let the Holy See go out to attack the two, and then find a way to force the two to unite to attack the Holy See.

In this way, basically there is no need to think about ending this melee in the past few decades. If you don't let go of the last drop of blood of the European barbarians, it will be regarded as a vain deduction by the think tank of Zhongji Temple!

Chapter 757 The Black Hand Shrouding the World Behind the Scenes

Ever since Emperor Chongzhen tossed out this cheat-like institution, the Zhongji Hall, the world has been shrouded in a pair of invisible black hands.

For example, the Mughals, the European continent, and the Ottoman Empire. Behind these countries or regions, there are two words vaguely written - Ming Dynasty.

Today’s Ming Dynasty has really achieved both style and style—needless to say about culture and education, there is the Royal Academy and Imperial College, as well as Beijing University and its well-established social studies, county schools, and prefectural schools, which are definitely the best education in the world strong country.

As for the body, if the Ming Empire, which can pull out 200 million elite horsemen at any time, says that it is the second, everyone has to carefully consider the risk of being No. 1.

Not to mention that now in the whole world, Daming is the only arms dealer in this great and bright profession--those who dare to say that this profession is not bright are basically buried or sent to the bottom of the sea to feed fish.

In fact, Daming is not only drawing blood from Europe, but is drawing blood from the whole world to supplement itself, so that not only did the whole of Daming not suffer too much loss during the Little Ice Age, but it felt like it was thriving.

This was also the only feasible solution that Emperor Chongzhen could think of.

The simple words of the Little Ice Age caused damage in the original history. The population of more than 1 million in the entire Ming Dynasty disappeared indirectly or directly, and the last Han Dynasty was also destroyed.

If he wants to survive, it is possible to rely on Daming's own blood production, but it is more cost-effective to let others die than to draw blood from all over the world to replenish himself.

It was under the guidance of this great thought that Li Chengyan basically agreed to Cohen's request, but he never mentioned when to trade.

Desperate but helpless, Cohen found Li Chengyan again and again, intending to ask Daming when he planned to start real trade negotiations.

Li Chengyan's attitude was as good as ever: "Keen, my brother, since you have come to Daming, you have to take a good look at the beautiful mountains and rivers in various parts of Daming."

Pointing to the teacup on the table, Li Chengyan smiled again: "Look, this is a good tea bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. After brewing, it leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth. It is really a rare high-grade tea."

Cohen forced a smile on his face, and said, "This tea is indeed excellent. It must be popular among the royal families and nobles of various countries after it is shipped to Europe, and we will get a lot of profits."

Li Chengyan shook his head and said: "Brother Coen, this is tribute tea. There is only so much output in the world, and only the palace can have this tea. No matter how much tea is produced from the same tea tree, it will not be too much." It is allowed to be called tribute tea, otherwise it will be a crime of disrespect."

Seeing that Cohen nodded to express his understanding, Li Chengyan's original thoughts on the arms trade were diverted to the tea: "What does Brother Li mean?"

Li Chengyan said with a smile: "Although those tea leaves can't be called tribute tea, they don't affect their quality at all, don't they? The quality and taste of this kind of royal special offer are naturally different from the previous teas. It should be more expensive, right?"

Cohen nodded and said, "Yes, it should be more expensive. I just don't know how much money Brother Li thinks it should be sold?"

Li Chengyan took a sip happily and said with a smile: "One tael of gold and one tael of tea, this should be a very fair price."

With a pop, Cohen sprayed out the tea in his mouth and exclaimed, "Why don't you grab it?"

Li Chengyan gave Cohen a sideways look, secretly thinking in his heart that he was still a barbarian.

What is this?This is tribute tea, this is taste, this is life, this is enjoyment, how to measure the value of tribute tea?shallow!

Besides, how can you buy this thing if you have money?It's the same as drug ointment, because there is no other company out there that can produce that quality, so it has to be whatever price Daming wants it to be.

The price of this tribute tea is naturally the same. If it is replaced by the honorable officials of Ming Dynasty and the rich, this tribute tea is not to mention a tael of gold and a tael of tea. Even if it is ten times more expensive, no one will dare to buy it. It is not easy to say whether to offer it or drink it after returning.

Another biggest problem is that this is a serious business, and it is faster than stealing money!

With a hint of displeasure on his face, Li Chengyan said: "Keen, my good brother, let me tell you, this is tribute tea, a good thing that you can't find anywhere in the world.

In addition, the value of this tribute tea is far more valuable than those munitions. Even if it is to ensure that these teas can be safely transported to Europe, I, Ming Dynasty, will send warships to escort them, you know? "

I see, tie-in sales, right?If you don't buy your broken tea, you won't sell arms, right?As for the nonsense of escorting, there is no need to say more, you can just lend me two Ming Dynasty merchant flags!

After scolding inwardly for an unknown number of times, Cohen said again: "Brother Li is right, this kind of precious good thing really should be sold at a higher price, I can make the decision to estimate three hundred catties first, and then see the situation later." Additional orders."

Li Chengyan nodded with a smile and said: "The Coen brothers are very happy. By the way, the Ministry of War has already agreed to the transaction of [-] firecrackers you proposed before. question."

Cohen frowned and said, "Cannon? What's the problem?"
