Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 352 Am I Interesting?

If Adolf and Mekhail believed at the beginning that this Ming businessman was the kind of broker with all-hands and eyes, they can now confirm that this Ming businessman was definitely sent by the Ming court, at least with the Ming court. The top few people in the class have something to do with it.

It is even very possible that it was secretly sent by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that Adolf and Mekhail couldn’t figure out why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent businessmen to contact them, and why he sold the flintlock guns eliminated by the Ming army to the Habsburg family and others. Ottoman?
After all, it was France and England that attacked the Habsburg family. These two countries were simply lackeys cultivated by the Ming Dynasty in Europa. And Ottoman's territory, so the price is too high, right?
The more Adolf and Mekhail thought about it, the more suspicious the Ming businessman in front of them became, and Mekhail asked in a deep voice, "What evidence do you have to prove everything you said?"

The businessman of Ming Dynasty laughed and said, "You can believe it or not, anyway, the current situation is like this, it doesn't make any difference to me whether you believe it or not."

Adolf and Mekhail were cornered again.

As the Ming businessman in front of him said, whether the two of them believe it or not, it actually has no effect on the Ming country.

Letter, at most, is to purchase some flintlock guns and ammunition.

If you don't believe me, don't you buy it?

Adolf suppressed the bitterness in his heart, shook his head slightly, and then turned the topic back to the flintlock: "Sir, if we buy a flintlock from you, what is the transaction process like?"

The businessman of Daming said with a smile: "Daming will transport the flintlock guns to the waters near Ottoman, and the rest is up to you two."

Adolf and Mekhail looked at each other, and then asked: "So, how many flintlock guns can you get next time? Also, when will you get artillery and grenades?"

The Ming businessman shook his head and said, "Flintlocks are easy to talk about, but muskets and grenades are not as easy as you imagine."

Hearing what the businessman of Ming Dynasty said, Adolf and Mekhail did not continue to ask further questions. After all, both of them knew in their hearts that compared with flintlock guns with a very small killing range, the range of artillery and grenades Sexual ordnance is a real big killer, and it is unlikely that the Ming Dynasty will be willing to export it.

However, when Adolf and Mekhail were disappointed, the Ming businessman went on to say: "However, although the grenades and artillery currently used by the Ming army are a bit more difficult to obtain, the muskets and grenades equipped by the Ming army in the early days can still be obtained." Some."

Speaking of this, the businessman of Daming suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Of course, if you can afford it, then it is not impossible for Daming to sell you the artillery manufacturing technology of the previous generation."

Adolf and Mekhail suddenly became excited.

Why is the Ming Dynasty so tyrannical now?
Because the Ming Dynasty has almost monopolized all the ordnance business on the entire small broken ball, from percussion guns to flintlock guns, from artillery to grenades and ammunition, these things are indispensable for any country.

Not buying?

If your neighboring country bought it, would you buy it?
Of course it’s okay not to buy it, and it’s okay to buy inferior equipment from other countries to save money, but what about when you are beaten on the ground by a neighboring country equipped with Ming’s ordnance?

More importantly, these gadgets are purely consumables. If they are used up or damaged, they have to be bought from Daming again—one round of ammunition will be lost, and a damaged barrel basically means a whole gun. They are all useless, and the gun barrel is almost the same. If it is a waste, it is a waste. No one dares to continue to use it at the risk of exploding the barrel.

A large amount of gold and silver flowed into Daming because of this. Can Daming not be tyrannical?

If everything that the Ming businessman said is true, then even if the Habsburg family and the Ottomans, who have mastered the artillery and grenade manufacturing technology, can't get a hand in the small broken ball's arms market, at least they can produce artillery, grenades and For ammunition, there is no need to rely on third-party countries to import products from Ming Dynasty—the Habsburg family and Ottoman have already paid a lot of real money in order to get the third-party country and obtain the muskets, artillery and grenades produced by the Ming country. !

The more Adolf thought about it, the more excited he became, Dang even asked: "I don't know how much it will cost to buy the manufacturing technology of artillery and grenades?"

Mekhail added hopefully: "Of course, if it's too expensive, I don't think we can afford it. It would be great if we could accept oil payments."

If a person from another time and space sees a camel with a white cloth on his head, he will worry that the price is too expensive to afford the manufacturing technology of artillery and grenades.

But on the small broken ball, it is really normal for the camels to have this reaction, because now the most embarrassing one is Daming, not the camel with the white cloth on his head.

The businessman of Daming smiled and said: "The price is definitely not too expensive, but there are additional conditions, it depends on whether you can accept it or not?"

Adolf took a deep breath and said, "Please tell me about your conditions?"

The businessman of Daming nodded and said: "Da Ming sold the last generation of artillery and grenade manufacturing technology to you two at a price of one dragon yuan. Correspondingly, Daming needs Bavaria and a certain oil producing area as a concession with a lease period of 99 In [-], the annual rent is one dragon yuan, and the Great Ming law is enforced in the concession, and the Ming Dynasty needs to station troops in the concession, and people from your country are not allowed to enter the concession unless they have permission."

After the Ming businessman explained the rules and regulations of the concession, Adolf suddenly stood up and shouted, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"If the Ming Kingdom needs any piece of land, I can represent the Habsburg family, and His Majesty William II promises you that you can directly cede that piece of land to you, but the concession is absolutely not allowed! You are humiliating Habu The Fort family!"

Mekhail also shouted: "As Brother Adolf said, we Ottomans can directly cede a certain oil producing area to your Ming country, but the concession is absolutely impossible!"

"Although we really want to buy the artillery and grenade manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't mean that we have to buy it. In fact, our country can also manufacture artillery and grenades. Although it is not as advanced as that of the Ming Dynasty, but Works too!"

For Adolf and Mekhail's reaction, the businessman of Ming Dynasty was not surprised at all.

For any normal country, the humiliating significance of the concession is far greater than the actual significance.

Great clearing outside.

However, the businessman of Daming just shook his head with a smile and said: "I have already said just now, you don't have to buy it, and no one will force you to buy it."

Adolf sneered, and asked back: "Why don't you set up concessions in England and France? Compared with setting up concessions on the territory of the Habsburg family, it seems that setting up concessions in England and France will bring more benefits. Some?"

The businessman of Ming Dynasty let out a laugh, and asked back, "Have England and the Silly Eagle been beaten?"

Adolf was choked and speechless, and he secretly hated the Habsburg family for not joining in quickly when Daming established Xiaopoguo, which resulted in the situation it is today.

Seeing that the atmosphere gradually became murderous, Mekhail quickly smoothed things over and said, "Sir, the two of us have no way to directly agree to your request from the concession. After all, it is related to the territory of our respective countries, so I hope Can we talk after asking our respective lords?"

After the Ming businessman nodded, Mekhail went on to say, "Now, let's discuss the matter of flintlock guns?"

Mekhail glanced at Adolf and said: "We Ottomans need [-] flintlock guns and the corresponding ammunition - if your Ming country can accept payment from oil fields, then I can answer you on behalf of His Majesty the Ottoman Emperor. Some oil field as a down payment for muskets, cannon and grenades."

Adolf asked anxiously: "Why do you Ottomans need so many flintlock guns? Didn't you hear this gentleman say that the Ming Dynasty will soon stop attacking your Ottomans? Now you suddenly buy so many flintlock guns. Could it be to ambush the Ming army?"

After saying a word to Mekhail, Adolf turned his attention to the Ming businessman and said, "Sir, our Habsburg family needs at least 20 flintlock guns. You might as well consider us first? After all, the quantity we need A little more, and you can earn more silver."

Seeing that Mekhail wanted to say something more, Adolf gritted his teeth and said, "We pay in silver! You pay as you go! You definitely don't need to pay with oil!"

……

"Osman will most likely not agree with the game of the concession, but it's not a big deal if Osman agrees or disagrees. Anyway, Daming has already occupied a few oil fields now, so it's enough to play with Osman slowly."

Zhu Jinsong smiled and said to Louis XVI: "On the contrary, the Habsburg family, I think they will probably agree with the game of the concession - think about it, is there anything more enjoyable than this?"

Louis XVI shook his head solemnly and said, "There is nothing more enjoyable than this."

"As long as William II, the leader of the Habsburg family, can agree to this condition, then the Habsburg family will never be able to hold up their heads again, at least in front of us."

"There is also this method of using flintlock guns, artillery, and grenades to separate the Ottomans and the Habsburgs. This is full of wisdom. Originally, Osman would secretly give some support to the Habsburgs. But after today's incident gets out, it is estimated that Osman will never help the Habsburg family again."

Zhu Jinsong nodded with a smile, and said: "Anyway, idleness is idleness. Since we want to weaken the Ottoman and Habsburg families as much as possible first, then let's play with them slowly."

Louis XVI nodded again, and snorted excitedly: "I want to see how hard Habsburg has been planted this time - if it weren't for Mrs. Deficit, I'm afraid our French treasury Nor will it owe 20 billion francs in arrears."

"If you can put the Habsburg family together this time, it will be considered a bad breath for me."

"I just don't know what Osman is thinking. Now that the situation is coming to an end, Osman still insists on carrying it?"

Speaking of this, Louis XVI couldn't help being a little worried about Zhu Jinsong's method of exchanging concessions for technology, and asked: "If the two of them are really cruel to set up a concession, are you really going to sell the manufacturing technology of artillery and grenades to China?" them?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Of course I will sell it, why not?"

"Even if we don't sell them the musket and grenade manufacturing technology of the previous generation, they will still manufacture artillery and grenades. Although the technology is a little cruder and the performance is worse, they can still make them after all."

"In this case, why don't I sell them the artillery and grenade manufacturing technology of the previous generation in exchange for more benefits?"

Louis XVI nodded at first, then said through gritted teeth, "However, we can't just sell the technology to them, let alone stop fighting so easily."

"At the very least, the Habsburgs must give us a concession in France."

"Of course, it would be the best if it can be next to Daming's concession."

Zhu Jinsong shook his head with a smile, and said: "Although we want to humiliate the Habsburg family, this is not the way to play - I have no intention of letting the concession belong to Daming, otherwise, I will directly ask Habsburg Wouldn't it be better for the Boothsberg family to cede land and pay compensation?"

"How did that work?" Louis XVI asked in a bewildered expression, "Are you planning to let all five benevolent people enter the concession?"

Zhu Jinsong nodded with a smile again, and said, "Of course, since we want to set up a concession, then we should simply set up a concession of the five benevolent people."

"So, you and George III stop attacking the Habsburg family first, and then let the Netherlands or any other country open a film with the Habsburg family."

"Then, we can justifiably request the Habsburg family to set up ceasefire concessions—the Ming Concession, the French Concession, the British Concession, the Sand Goose Concession, and the Silly Eagle Concession."

"Of course, Daming, Silly Eagle and Sand Goose are too far away from the Habsburg family, and the main beneficiaries are France and England."

"How about it, am I interested enough?"
