Daming Military Empire

Chapter 647

After finishing the business, Philip IV chatted with Zheng Chenggong for a few more words, and then he was ready to see off the guests. After all, he is also the lord of a country, and he doesn't have so much time to spend nonsense with others here.

If it was in Daming, he would just hold up the teacup, blow on it, or pretend to take a sip, without saying anything, and he would be able to send the guests away, but there is no such thing as serving tea to the guests in Spain, and most guests do not take the initiative Farewell, the master is really embarrassed to push people away.

The reason why Zheng Chenggong was moaning here was naturally not to connect with Philip IV. He wanted to marry his daughter, but he was even more embarrassed to say this.

He had nothing to do and chatted with Philip IV for a while, seeing that the future father-in-law gradually showed impatience, he could only muster up his courage, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty, our imperial concubine Anna once mentioned that the noble I don’t know what His Majesty the King thinks about Princess Maria of the Kingdom betrothed to this humble minister?”

Philip IV was taken aback when he heard the words, and it took him a while to realize that this kid wanted to marry his daughter. Before Gaston came, he naturally wanted it, but now he hesitated.

Do you agree or not?If he agrees, it means that he has rejected the proposal of the anti-Habsburg alliance, and that guy Gaston must have rushed back to complain immediately.

If you don't agree, then offend this Great Admiral of the Ming Empire to death. Even if you continue to hang out with the Ming Empire in the future, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat. This guy is the most trusted official of the Emperor of the Ming Empire!
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to procrastinate and take a look.

He rolled his eyes and said with a look of distress: "Well, Maria is my sweetheart. I have to think carefully about her life-long affairs."

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, his face darkened. It seemed that this marriage was in trouble.

He felt that his mood fell into a trough in an instant. Seeing Philip IV's embarrassment, he was afraid that he would not get the desired result today. In order to avoid losing his composure, he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Philip IV did not keep him, but sent him to the door very politely.

Zheng Chenggong followed the palace guards, and his mood was getting worse and worse. Who was instigating it made Philip IV full of doubts, and he really wanted to kill the person who provoked discord.

When he came to the residence that Philip IV had arranged for him, he immediately recruited Xiao Jiuzheng to him, and said in a low voice: "Go and find out who is going forward to slander Philip IV and provoke the relationship between Spain and Ming Dynasty. Come, let me know right away."

When Xiao Jiuzheng heard the words, he bowed to his orders and left.

Zheng Chenggong sighed, and sat down decadently.

He knew that it would be very difficult to find this person, because Jin Yiwei did not arrange many spies in Madrid. After all, this is the capital of the allies. In addition to the problems of skin color, face shape and language, it is really not suitable to place too many spies. .

Frowning and pondering for a while, he remembered that he had to ask the emperor for instructions to build an additional large shipyard. Communication with the capital here is troublesome. He had to send a telegram to Valencia first, and then arrange someone to send it from Valencia. Only by taking a boat to the Ming army base on the Eurasian Canal can the telegram be sent to the capital.

It is really troublesome to go around like this. It seems that we have to find a way to pull the telegraph line from the Eurasian Canal as soon as possible to connect the telegraph lines of Spain and Portugal. Otherwise, the military information will not be transmitted smoothly, and accidents will happen sooner or later.

It will not take a day or two for the telegraph line to be pulled over. Now we have to use the delivery system of Jinyiwei Secret Agent first. He called Xiao Jiuzheng in again, and instructed him carefully to send the message back quickly. the capital.

There are two main things. One is that Philip IV asked the Ming Empire to build two large shipyards for Spain with an annual output of [-] super battleships. The other is to ask the emperor to arrange for someone to bring the telegraph line to Spain as soon as possible.

Xiao Jiuzheng took the order to leave again, and Zheng Chenggong leaned on the back of his chair and sighed decadently.

He really wants to find Princess Maria, but he is afraid of people gossiping. Although there is no such thing as incontinence between men and women in Europe, there is in Daming. Falling in love seems to be a model of immorality in Daming. I really can't get past this hurdle in my heart.

Just when he was preoccupied, Xiao Jiuzheng ran in in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the Generalissimo, my subordinates have found out who provoked the relationship between Spain and our Ming Dynasty in front of Philip IV."

Zheng Chenggong was taken aback when he heard the words, did he find out?How could it be so fast, it only took less than a quarter of an hour, even in Daming it is impossible to be so fast!
However, he knew that Xiao Jiuzheng would never dare to lie to him face to face. It would be fine if he found out, but he was just annoyed. If it wasn't some important official in Spain, then he would have to send someone to do him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong asked coldly: "Who is it?"

Xiao Jiuzheng quickly replied: "It's the younger brother of the King of France, Gaston, Duke of Orleans."

It's this guy again, no wonder Philip IV hesitated, this guy must have come to win over Spain, and he must not be allowed to succeed!
Zheng Chenggong thought about it calmly, and then asked: "Do you know where he is now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiuzheng replied cautiously: "Someone just saw him heading towards Princess Maria's bedroom."

Damn, Zheng Chenggong originally wanted to find this guy's residence before trying to find a solution, but now he doesn't have to think about it. If he doesn't hit this guy with peach blossoms all over his face, he doesn't know why the flowers are so red, so he dared to harass him Shizi's sweetheart, I can't beat you to death.

Zheng Chenggong jumped up from the chair and roared, "Lead the way ahead and bring everyone along."

Xiao Jiuzheng was taken aback. He had never seen Zheng Chenggong get so angry. This man was so angry that even the Ming Empire would tremble. A master of Jin Yiwei led Zheng Chenggong to rush towards Princess Maria's bedroom.

Zheng Chenggong was very anxious along the way, for fear that Princess Maria would be taken advantage of by Gaston's seductive body, and he didn't care about etiquette at the moment. He had only one order to Xiao Jiuzheng, and that was to break in!
Who is this distinguished guest? The guards in the Spanish Royal Palace naturally know, as long as he doesn't force his way into His Majesty's bedroom, no one will dare to stop him.

Fortunately, the area of ​​the Spanish Royal Palace is not very large. Zheng Chenggong and his party soon arrived outside Princess Maria's bedroom.

At this time, there were already a dozen or so guards dressed as French soldiers standing outside the dormitory. They seemed to be very arrogant. The two Spanish court guards were pushed aside by them, and the voice of Princess Maria was faintly heard from inside the dormitory. There was a coquettish reprimand and a man's cheap laughter.

Zheng Chenggong is so hot, so flirtatious, if he wants to die, he will drop it anyway.

He directly shouted to Xiao Jiuzheng: "Except for the two palace guards, everyone else, beat me to the ground, be careful, don't beat them to death."

After all, he rolled up his sleeves and walked in angrily.

PS: I recommend the beautiful writer I am not Mu Xin's masterpiece "The Empress of the Chinese System: The European Empress". This is a story about an empress turning Europe into a Chinese. The plot is very novel. Readers who are tired of old routines should not miss it.
