Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 793 Summoned by His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty
Minuit and Black were really aggrieved and annoyed.

The two shameless little dukes of the Ming Empire threatened them with war at every turn, so what's the point?
Anyway, if they don't meet their requirements, they will just say two words, let's go to war!
Is this still called negotiation?

This is simply Chi Guoguo's bullying!
The problem is, they don't dare to get mad yet.

Because they are too strong, the result of the war is to lose, and then the loss will be even worse.

They had already tried it in New Amsterdam last time, and they didn't want to try it again this time.

No way, who told them they couldn't beat others?

People bully them, what's wrong?
Alas, if you don't have to talk about it, you have to talk about it. No matter what, you have to fight for it.

Black sighed inwardly, and then said helplessly: "How about this, we leave half of the cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens for you, is this really sincere?"

In fact, they can't take too many of these things with them.

Because these livestock can’t be kept in the cabin for a few days if they are slaughtered, and it takes up too much space if they are not slaughtered, and they can only be placed on the deck.

At this moment, they are ordering the boat like this, and it is not bad if they can fill half of the deck.

In addition, these things have to eat food, eat grass, and consume fresh water every day, so it is a bit troublesome to carry them. If they carry less, it will be less troublesome.

He also wanted to use this as a bait to let people care about the number of these livestock with them, and stop robbing them of other things.

At this moment, they are really like robbers. It is clear that they want to rob them!

Of course Xu Yunzhen knew what this guy was planning, so you have the nerve to play this little trick?
He couldn't help mocking: "Can you bring so many livestock?
How many boats do you have?

How much food and fodder can you bring to these livestock?
And talk about water, are you going to keep it for your own people or give it all to these livestock?
You can't take much of these with you, and carrying them is troublesome, so leave them all to us. "

you!
How can you talk about leaving all of them as soon as you open your mouth?
Boy, I really want to beat you!

The question is, does he dare to beat someone up?
He didn't even dare to scold others.

Black squeezed his fist secretly, and then said helplessly: "You guys should save some for us, we can't just eat corn, we always have to eat a little bit of meat."

Alright, seeing how pitiful you are, I will leave some for you.

Xu Yunzhen nodded slightly and said: "That's fine, you can bring one hundred thousand catties of meat, live or die as you like."

One hundred thousand catties?
How much is one hundred thousand catties?

It seems that a catty is about the same as a pound.

That's a hundred cows!

There are more than 8 of them, and they can finish eating in one meal.

This trip to Europe doesn't know how long it will take. If they can't keep up with the monsoon and ocean currents, they will spend at least three or four months on the road.

Eat meat once every three or four months, won't it kill them?

Black shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, we must bring at least 1000 million catties of meat."

1000 million catties can guarantee one meal a day, which is barely acceptable.

Xu Yunzhen said categorically: "We will leave you with a maximum of 100 million catties, if there is more, then don't talk about it."

Fake, you want to threaten us with war again, right?

Black could only grit his teeth and swallowed his anger: "At least 500 million catties, no less."

There's nothing to talk about after I said this, you think I'm joking, right?

Xu Yunzhen couldn't help but said coldly: "Will you die if you don't eat meat for a few meals?"

Alas, this guy is going too far, even threatening us with death.

No way, if you don't eat meat, you won't die. If you offend people, they may die.

Blake simply didn't speak, as a tacit consent.

Seeing this, Minuit could only weakly say: "Let's forget the food. If you don't eat meat, you won't die. If you don't have food, you will starve to death."

Zhang Zhiji asked instead, "How much food do you have?"

Uh, can I tell you that our [-] troops can eat a year's worth of food?
Minuit thought for a while, and said vaguely: "We only have tens of millions of pounds of grain, which is not enough to feed more than 8 people for half a year. It will take at least three or four months to return to the European continent. We have to bring all of them. Otherwise, people will starve to death on the road.”

Will people starve to death on the way?
Do you think we don't know that you are going to the Gold Coast of Africa?
Zhang Zhiji said calmly: "It happens to be a westerly wind at the moment, and your fleet feels that the Gold Coast is only half a month away at most.

Don't say we are stingy, we will leave you with enough food for a month, right?

I will give you three catties of grain per day, is that enough?

8 people are 24 catties a day, and 720 million catties a month.

The remaining fraction is 80 catties for you, which adds up to 800 million catties, enough for you to eat for a month, right? "

Why don't you go grab it?
Hundreds of millions of pounds of grain you let us take away millions of pounds!
Is there any reason?
This is our food, not yours.

The problem is, people still rob them openly by relying on their strength.

Minuit said helplessly: "No, at least 3000 million pounds is needed, so that we can barely rush back to Europe.

It is too difficult to raise more than 2000 million pounds of food on the Gold Coast. We can't expect to buy from others! "

I don't care if it's difficult for you.

Zhang Zhiji said very simply: "1000 million catties, no more."

you!
There is really no compromise on food, they have more than 8 people to feed!

Minuit gritted his teeth secretly, and then said weakly: "We can't decide this, we have to go back and ask His Royal Highness for instructions."

All right, let's talk about money.

Zhang Zhiji nodded slightly and said: "Let's not talk about food for now, let's talk about gold and silver.

You have been fishing like crazy for the past two years, have you made a lot of gold and silver? "

You want to grab this too?
You guys are really stealing money!
Minuit shook his head very simply and said: "We didn't get much gold and silver, and gold and silver are not produced here, but wood is produced here.

We used all the money from selling timber to exchange for slaves and pay for the military, so we really don't have much left. "

Hmph, who are you fooling?

You only sell wood!
What about sucrose?
What about cocoa beans?

Where are the coffee beans?

These are valuable goods in continental Europe.

Besides, even if it's just wood, how much have you cut down?

Although the jungle here is not as dense as the Amazon River, it is not too much.

You have at least cut hundreds of millions of timber, how much is that?
That is at least tens of millions of taels of silver!
They have already done this, and the emperor has already said that at least half of them must be robbed!
Zhang Zhiji pretended to be concerned and said: "Gold and silver are both heavy, you took too much care and the boat sank.

How about this, leave us 5000 million taels of silver, and we don't want the gold. "

5000 million taels, that is 500 million pounds!
Do you think there are silver mines here?

Even if there are silver mines here, we can't dig out 500 million pounds in more than a year!

Minuit shook his head repeatedly and said, "We really didn't make much money, let alone 5000 million taels, we don't even have 500 million taels."

No?

This 5000 million taels seems to be a bit much, and people may not have earned so much.

Zhang Zhiji nodded slightly and said, "That's fine, if you don't have 5000 million taels, let's get 4000 million taels."

Can you not do this?

You count the silver as ten million taels, even if we have it, it is impossible for us to give it to you!
Minuit really couldn't hold back and wanted to get mad, but in the end he still said in a begging tone: "Don't ask me, it's tens of millions of taels, we really don't have that much money."

Not yet?

Zhang Zhiji simply asked: "Then how much money did you make?"

Can I tell you this?
Minuit thought for a while, and could only pretend to be confused: "I don't know this very well, only our Prince knows."

You can't be the masters of food and you don't know how much money you have made, so what else is there to talk about?

Zhang Zhiji said impatiently: "You guys can't decide this, and you don't know, so what are you talking about?

Well, you go back and tell Prince Condé to come and talk to us in person. "

Uh, this.

The status of Prince Kong Dai is different. Can he come and talk to you in person?
Minuit thought for a while, and said simply: "We have to go back and ask His Royal Highness about this."

Zhang Zhiji simply waved his hand and said: "That's fine, you go back and ask Prince Kong Dai.

You tell him not to waste time, our patience is limited, and it is best for him to come and talk in person. "

Alas, there was no other way, Minuit and Black had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

Zhang Zhiji watched the two guys being hoisted onto the boat, and slowly went back, and after thinking about it carefully, he said solemnly: "Yunzhen, I'll go back and report to the emperor, you wait here .”

After finishing speaking, he quickly climbed down, boarded a Spike warship, and headed straight for the Emperor.

They had Spike warships to pick up all kinds of large ships, and it was very convenient to travel by water. It didn't take long for him to rush to the Emperor.

Taichang listened to Zhang Zhiji's detailed report, thought about it carefully, and then pondered: "Well, if Prince Kong Dai doesn't come here in person, you don't want to talk to Minuit and Black.

Just tell them, I just want to see Prince Condé.

If Prince Kong Dai is here, you can bring him directly to see me. "

Well, the emperor is about to go out and cut the mess in person.

Zhang Zhiji hastily bowed his hands and bid farewell.

Does Prince Condé dare not come?

He stood on the city wall, looking at the terrifying camp of the Ming Empire Navy, hesitating for a long time.

Alas, last time they bombarded them with only 50 armored warships, they were powerless to fight back. This time, they had more than [-] ships.

If people really come together to bombard them fiercely, the shells will probably be like rain, and they will be so heartbroken.

There is no way, the navy of the Ming Empire is too strong, and they have no way to fight back now.

Sigh, I'd better go there and find a way to get away.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and waved: "Come on, come with me to meet those two shameless little dukes."

Well, as long as Prince Condé is willing to go out in person.

Minuit and Black could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief.

They were really tortured by those two shameless little dukes.

This time they didn't show off any more, and came with a merchant ship of [-] materials, and they directly picked a galley that was about as tall as a Spike.

The paddle boat can be connected directly to the Spike warship, and after the connection, they can build a springboard and walk over it, no need to hoist up and down.

Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen saw that Prince Kong Dai had really come, so they pretended to stand on the ladder to greet him.

Prince Kong Dai finally felt a little better when he saw people greeted him with a smile on his face.

Then, though, he wasn't so comfortable.

Because Zhang Zhiji immediately smiled and said: "Your Highness, our Emperor wants to see you."

Just after Zhang Zhiji finished speaking, Xu Yunzhen didn't ask them if they agreed, but directly ordered the negotiating fishing boats to sail in the direction of the Daming Fleet.

This time, not only Minuit and Blake were frightened, but Prince Condé was also frightened.
The Ming Empire is not going to take this opportunity to wipe them all out!
