Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Jiang Shaofeng clapped his hands and looked at Zhen Beiwang with great pride.

"Admiral, it's done, he spoke!"

Zhen Beiwang:........

Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's family is wealthy and can often invite me to visit brothels, I would have kicked him to death today no matter what!

It stinks!

After glaring at Jiang Shaofeng, he pointed at the other five missionaries.

"Continue the interrogation. I will report to His Majesty!"

After saying this, he fled from the interrogation scene.

Inside the room, Zhu Youxiao was still curious about what methods they would use to force a confession.

Just as he was about to go out to take a look, as soon as he opened the door, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. Inexplicably, he seemed to smell a foul odor.

???

Whose cesspool is boiling?

Oh no!

There is also a smell of rotting corpse...

Terrible!

He quickly closed the door, hid in the bedroom, and covered his mouth and nose with a quilt.

"Master, I found out!"

Just then, Zhen Beiwang's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in, close the door quickly, it stinks!"

Zhu Youxiao took off the quilt, said this sentence as quickly as possible, then covered his mouth and nose again, trying to slow down his breathing, for fear that unfiltered smells would enter his nasal cavity.

The door opened and then closed again.

Seeing that the main room was empty, Zhen Beiwang glanced into the inner room. When he saw Zhu Youxiao's condition, his face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Sir, one of the red envelope devils confessed that they were from Espana and that they were called Franji here."

Espana?

Franchi?

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this. This must be Spain!

The appearance of the three words "Spain" was like a keyword, which evoked his memory about the current situation in Europe.

According to the course of history, Spain should have been caught in an unprecedented chaos at this time.

The whole of Europe, with the German Protestant princes and Sweden, Denmark, and France on one side, and supported by the Netherlands, Britain, and Russia;

The Holy Roman Emperor, the German Catholic princes and Spain were on the other side, supported by the Pope and Poland.

The war between these two camps began in 1618 and lasted for thirty years!

It was this battle that caused Spain to go from its heyday to decline.

Among the victorious parties, the Netherlands gained independence and developed rapidly, becoming the maritime hegemon that replaced Spain.

When he was learning this period of history, Zhu Youxiao did not take it too seriously. He even recited it only to pass the teacher's random checks.

But looking at the current situation, Ming Dynasty and Spain seem to...

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, he threw the quilt back on the bed and looked towards the north.

"Bring them in!"

"By the way, what was that so smelly just now?"

"You didn't cook them with the shit, did you?"

Speaking of this speculation, he couldn't help but shudder.

Damn it!

These guys from the Northern Pacification Office are so inhumane!

So cruel...

But, I like it!

Chapter 108 From now on, please call me Xuanwu Xiaowei, and stop calling me General Manager

Why does it stink so much?

This question was something that even Zhen Beiwang didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Shaofeng was a captain under his command. If he told the truth, it would only damage the image of the Northern Pacification Division in the emperor's mind.

So, he could only speak up.

"Replying to my Lord, a missionary was frightened to death just now..."

Zhu Youxiao's forehead was covered with black lines when he heard this: "Then wash it clean and bring it in!"

About a quarter of an hour later, six missionaries were brought in again.

However, their black uniforms had been replaced with gray-brown linen clothes.

Facing Zhu Youxiao, these guys seemed like completely different people compared to before.

He lowered his head, looked submissive, and was extremely cautious.

However, whenever they saw Zhen Beiwang, Jiang Shaofeng and others out of the corner of their eyes, they would always shiver.

Damn it!

That big wooden barrel, that hot water that could almost scald a person, and that pig bristle brush that was so hard that it pricked a person...

The egg skin was broken!

I can only walk with my feet turned outwards......

They didn't know how they managed to hold on until someone fished them out of the bucket!

They swore that they would never take a bath again in their life!

The experience just now has become their lingering nightmare...

Zhu Youxiao had no idea what they had been through. He sniffed twice and felt that the stench had disappeared. Then he nodded with satisfaction.

"Who is the leader among you? Can you tell me now?"

"Your Excellency, I am a French monk, a bishop, and the governor of Lingnan."

"My dear fellow Catholic priest."

Zhu Youxiao:!!!

This poor Chinese is hard to listen to...

But he didn't know the Spanish of that period, so he could only communicate in this way.

"Tell me your purpose for coming to Daming!"

"Be sincere, otherwise, I will let you know what a summons from hell is!"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi's body trembled violently when he heard this. The experience just now was enough to make him collapse.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be summoned from hell.

He bowed quickly, imitating the etiquette of the Ming people he saw on the street, and spoke with his fists clasped.

"Dear Sir, Women is to spread the glory of God......."

"Stop! Don't use these diplomatic rhetoric, speak something realistic, otherwise..." Zhu Youxiao interrupted Ling Nan'e Zhenshi and pointed at Zhen Beiwang.

"Otherwise there's nothing I can do about what they'll do to you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Beiwang and others stepped forward in unison and assumed what they thought was the most ferocious posture.

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi shuddered again.

God is above!

Isn't it said that there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere in this Eastern country? Why, why are these people more terrifying than the devil!

"S-Sorry!"

"We are here for trade."

"Nigeria's porcelain, raw silk, tea and other goods are all precious goods in our country."

Zhen Beiwang suddenly remembered what the shopkeeper had said before, and walked over to Zhu Youxiao and reported it in a low voice.

Zhu Youxiao frowned. Lu Ban Lock and Nine Rings?

Is there anything special about this?

After thinking for a moment, he interrupted Ling Nan'e Zhenshi again.

"Porcelain, raw silk, tea, etc. are self-explanatory. Answer me, why are you interested in Luban Lock and Nine Linked Rings?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi's voice stopped abruptly, and after hesitating for a long time, he answered.

"Your Excellency, those little things are amazing. We are going to take some back and present them to the Pope."

Although he spoke fluently, his emotional changes still aroused Zhu Youxiao's suspicion.

Things can never be that simple!

"You'd better behave yourself and don't make me remind you for the third time!"

He stared at Ling Nan'e with a stern expression and shouted in a cold voice.

“Yes, yes, I’m sorry…”

Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Ling Nan'e Zhenshi could only answer with gritted teeth.

"That kind of technology cannot be produced by the craftsmen in our country. I just want to bring some back to see if I can exchange them for some rewards..."

In the Ming Dynasty, the Lu Ban lock was just a common wooden toy.

Almost all people with a wealthy family will buy one, or even several, for their children!

Just like parents in later generations buy building blocks for their children to play with.

Similarly, Lu Ban locks also have combinations of different difficulty levels, ranging from Four Seasons Lock, Sister Ball, Liuhe Mortise and Tenon to Twelve Square Lock, Eighteen Hook Lock, Twenty-Four Locks and dozens of other combinations.

These were both toys for children from wealthy families and works used by carpenters to practice their craft.

Just because in making Luban lock, almost all mortise and tenon techniques can be used!

Without using any nails, you can create a result that is stronger than nails!

Thinking of this, an idea came to Zhu Youxiao's mind.

These Catholic missionaries are stealing the masters again...

But that's not the point!

The point is, he heard another meaning from Ling Nan'e Zhenshi's words.

"What do you mean by reward?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi answered everything in detail.

"Our country is notorious for the exquisite craftsmanship of your craftsmen, so we have offered a reward. As long as you can bring back something valuable, you will get a reward."

"Before he came to the nest, someone brought back many books. After verifying the records in the books, he was made a duke and was allowed to have a private army."

Zhu Youxiao's guess was confirmed. He frowned tightly and turned to look at Zhen Beiwang.

"Pass the order down. From now on, all missionaries who enter the territory of Ming Dynasty must be arrested at the first opportunity!"

"We need to let them know that the Ming Dynasty is not their backyard!"

"They can come and go as they please, and even take away our things. They are dreaming!"

"Don't change a word of it. Send the above message back to the capital and spread it to the whole world!"
