Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 107 The Governor's Daughter Claudia

On August [-]th, Xiao Wu rushed to report, "My lord, Ying Tianfu is here."

Tangning was startled, "Ying Tianfu?"

Xiao Wu nodded, "It's still the same Eunuch Liu from last time."

Eunuch Liu was much more high-profile this time than last time, as if he was afraid that others would not know, and attracted people from Fucheng to watch along the way.

"This is someone from Ying Tianfu, he must have come to look for our Master Tang."

"I think His Majesty sent this father-in-law to reward you when he saw our Lord Tang's political achievements."

"Hey, I think it was Lord Tang who defeated those red-haired ghosts and extolled my Ming Dynasty's prestige, so His Majesty sent someone to reward him."

"It's possible, it's possible, maybe it's both."

"That's right, Mr. Tang has made so much contribution, at least we should be named General Soldier of Guangdong."

"I think the general army of Guangdong and Guangxi can do it."

"Keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense."

……

Tangning probably guessed why Eunuch Liu came here, but no matter what, he must treat him well.

"Master Tang, congratulations." Eunuch Liu smiled like a flower when he met him.

Tang Ning was taken aback, and asked, "If you dare to ask Eunuch Liu, why do you like it?"

Eunuch Liu looked stunned for a moment, and then said: "Master Tang, the new army has defeated the foreign barbarians and exalted my Ming Dynasty. Isn't this a great joy?"

Tangning came to her senses, and then said, "It turns out that what Eunuch Liu said was a great joy. Eunuch Liu didn't know about it. Last month, we specially held a grand commendation ceremony for this matter, and the whole city celebrated together."

"Awards ceremony?"

Eunuch Liu had obviously never heard of this term before. After Tangning explained it, he suddenly understood.

"Oh? That's it. It seems that our family came late and didn't catch up with the good time."

Tangning waved her hands and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's really not easy for our new army to win this big victory, Yingtian Mansion is too far away from Chaozhou Mansion, so I didn't wait for Eunuch Liu, so I couldn't wait to celebrate."

"But it's not too late for Eunuch Liu to come now."

Eunuch Liu nodded and continued: "This time, our family came to Chaozhou Mansion according to the emperor's will. Your Majesty heard that the new army had won the victory over the foreign barbarians, and the dragon's heart was very happy."

"Your Majesty has won such a big victory in less than three months since he ascended the throne. This is a sign of revival."

Tangning really wanted to ask Ying Tianfu, who gave you the confidence? Is it my new army?If that's the case, it's a sin.

It can be said that Tang Ning basically forgot about the trash from Yingtian Mansion, so after winning the victory, he never thought of reporting it to the court.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, they themselves sent someone here.

Of course, these people traveled thousands of miles to Chaozhou Prefecture, so they couldn't be empty-handed.

Not to mention, the rewards given are pretty good, with a reward of one hundred taels, ten thousand taels of silver, and one hundred pieces of silk...

This material reward is nothing to Tangning now. What he cares most about is the last one, the two prefectures of Chaozhou and Huizhou.

In other words, Emperor Hongguang put the much larger Huizhou Mansion under Tangning's jurisdiction.

Originally, Tangning had already planned to infiltrate Huizhou Mansion and take it down when the time was right, but now it saved a lot of trouble.

Previously, Tangning had always looked down on the foolish emperor of Ying Tianfu, but now she looked a lot more pleasing to the eye, he was so cute.

As for the door-to-door rewards, Tangning naturally accepted them, and spent another 2000 taels to send Eunuch Liu and his party away.

Tang Ning knew that Emperor Hongguang's generosity was actually to give the Hongguang court a face and gain political capital.

Not long after Emperor Hongguang came to power, he sent people to Huanggang to recruit new troops, and appointed him Tang Ning as the general army of Chaozhou.

It took only two months for the new army to achieve such a great victory, which not only raised the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, but also showed that Emperor Hongguang had a good vision and his eyes were like torches.

Giving Tangning a reward to show the greatness of the emperor's favor really served multiple purposes.

Besides, the Hongguang imperial court's control center is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and its control over Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian is much weaker.

Especially Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of Fujian, can even ignore them.

The situation in Guangdong is better, but not much better.

Therefore, Huizhou Mansion was just an enclave to the Hongguang court. It would not lose anything if it was allocated to Tangning's jurisdiction, and it could also gain some reputation. Why not do it?
As soon as Eunuch Liu left, there was another commotion in Chaozhou Prefecture. This time it was not about Daming, but a foreign woman.

Now it is not uncommon to see Westerners in Chaozhou Prefecture. As long as you want to see them, you can watch them every day at the gates of colleges, chambers of commerce, and artillery factories in the west of the city.

However, without exception, these Westerners were all bearded men, and none of the women were seen.

Western men all look like this, it is inevitable that people want to see what their women look like, do they also grow beards?
Today, many people saw it, and it was completely different from what they imagined. It can be said that it was very amazing, from top to bottom.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, exquisite facial features.

Even though Daming's aesthetics are somewhat different, as long as they see this girl, no one dares to deny that she is a great beauty.

"This girl from other barbarians, if she is placed in Yuchun Courtyard, she will definitely be the top card."

"Do girls from other barbarians look like this? They're so pretty."

"I don't know much, so I have to guess. There are good-looking girls and bad-looking girls everywhere. I guess, among them, this girl should be the most beautiful girl."

"It makes sense, it makes sense. Looking at the clothes on her body, she must be a young lady from a rich family."

"Nonsense, the two behind her must be servant girls, and they are the young ladies of a rich family."

"I don't think it's an ordinary lady from a wealthy family, otherwise, she wouldn't need the protection of more than a dozen soldiers from the new army."

Wannu Bogarao, a bad old man who was with these girls, was directly ignored.

A group of people headed in the direction of the chamber of commerce, and the commotion was no less than that of Eunuch Liu two days ago.

Until they entered the chamber of commerce, the crowd of onlookers who had followed them outside still refused to disperse for a long time.

After knowing the identity of the visitor, Cheng Gong was startled, he quickly received him warmly, and then sent someone to notify Tangning.

In fact, before Cheng Gong sent someone, Tangning already knew that such a person had come to Fucheng. Xiao Wu's intelligence department was not just a decoration.

It's just that Tangning still had some things to deal with, so she didn't rush to meet her.

Now that he has arrived at the chamber of commerce and requested a meeting, Tangning naturally can't delay it any longer.

When Tangning arrived at the chamber of commerce, she found that Xiaohuan was chatting happily with a foreign girl, while Cheng Gong and Wannu Bujialao seemed to be foils.

When they saw Tangning and his party coming, they immediately got up.

"grown ups……"

"Master..."

"Master Tang..."

After several people greeted Tangning, the foreign girl stepped forward.

She held up the hem of her skirt with both hands and bowed to Tangning in a Western salute, and then said in non-standard Daming words, "Mr. Tang."

Tangning smiled slightly, and bowed her hands in an oriental salute, "Miss Claudia, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Claudia is wearing a typical Baroque style clothing, and the goose yellow fluffy dress looks like a carefully crafted work of art.

Folds, embroidery, crystals, lace, ribbons and other cumbersome decorations are matched together, which is complicated but not messy, but complements each other.

Western women in this era are popular to corset their waists, just like women in Ming Dynasty are popular to bind their feet.

Claudia, who was born noble, is no exception, her slender waist makes her entire upper body more curvaceous.

The upper part of the skirt is designed with an open chest, with fair skin and a small half of the chest exposed, full of extreme visual impact that subverts the tradition.

Coupled with Claudia's three-dimensional exquisite and flawless facial features, even Tangning, a modern person who has seen more exciting scenes, almost couldn't bear it.

I heard that this woman openly wandered around the street, causing many innocent men of Ming Dynasty to bleed.
