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

Zhen Beiwang heard the seriousness of the matter from his tone and immediately bowed.

"Yes!"

But the next moment, he came close to Youtong, rubbing his hands guiltily and said.

"Director Tong, can you lend me your notebook?"

Yutong rolled his eyes at him and quickly stuffed the notebook in his hand into his arms.

"What little book? That's the Book of Revelation! It contains the teachings of His Majesty. Can you lend it to me just like that?"

Zhen Beiwang was very embarrassed. He secretly glanced at Zhu Youxiao and saw that he was questioning the missionaries about other things and did not pay attention to this side, so he stretched out a finger towards Youtong.

"One hundred taels of silver! I'll only borrow it for a stick of incense. I'll return it as soon as I'm done copying it. I promise there won't be any damage at all!"

Anger instantly appeared on Yutong's face, and he growled, "Zhen Beiwang!"

"You are offering a bribe!"

"This is an insult to our family! An insult to all Xuanwu Lang!"

"You are even insulting His Majesty!"

"Also, from now on, please call me the Xuanwu Captain, and don't call me the General Manager anymore!"

"I'll give you one more chance to organize your words. Otherwise, don't blame me for being so loud!"

Chapter 109: A unique species in the land of Daming...

Zhu Youxiao had no time to pay attention to the private conversations between Youtong and Zhen Beiwanger.

Because, at this moment, he was looking at Ling Nan'e Zhenshi with a smile.

"I heard that your country is now exhausted by the war, and even the domestic finances are facing big problems?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi was both shocked and frightened when he heard this. He was shocked as to why Zhu Youxiao knew such a secret thing.

You have to know that Spain is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. The missionaries who came to the Ming Dynasty with him would never say such things in order to make themselves appear more noble.

At the same time, he was afraid because of the mysterious identity of Zhu Youxiao.

The young man in front of him could actually order the arrest of missionaries in the Ming Dynasty!

Hearing that his colleagues in the capital of the Ming Dynasty had lost contact not long ago, and considering his own experience, it was not difficult for him to guess that the person in front of him was definitely not bragging.

In the Ming Dynasty, who could do such a thing without authorization?

Moreover, how can we know the war situation in Spain thousands of miles away?

Could it be...

"Nini, is this the legendary Jinyiwei?"

His heart suddenly contracted and he looked at Zhu Youxiao in shock and asked.

"Even the Imperial Guards know about it. It seems like you guys have been in Ming for quite some time!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and neither confirmed nor denied the question. Instead, he repeated the question.

"Answer me, is Felipe IV anxious right now?"

Felipe IV was the King of Spain at that time, known as the King of the Earth.

I have to say that the operations of those Western countries are quite amazing.

Because he was not only the King of Spain, but also the Lord of the Southern Netherlands and the King of Portugal.

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi's expression became even stiffer. Is there anything that this person in front of him doesn't know?

"Yes, the great Felipe IV is indeed troubled by the war now."

"The Low Countries Rebellion has been going on for nearly sixty years and has yet to end."

"A new war has broken out among the German states, and the great Spanish Empire has now fallen into the quagmire of war."

"Maritime trade has also been greatly restricted, so we have to seek new points of interest."

Zhu Youxiao held his chin and stopped talking. He just stared at Ling Nan's forehead with a playful look.

After a long time, he asked with a smile.

"Do you want to live?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi nodded repeatedly: "I want to! I want to! Please, sir, forgive us..."

Zhu Youxiao said: "Well, if you want to live, I will let you go, but you need to do something for me. If you do it, I will reward you with 100,000 taels of silver!"

"what?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi was stunned.

One hundred thousand taels of silver!

At that time, the gold-silver exchange rate in the Ming Dynasty was about one to eight.

Converted into gold, it would be twelve thousand five hundred taels.

Six taels of the Ming Dynasty were approximately equal to one mark of Spain.

One mark of gold was worth 75 guldens.

In other words, one hundred thousand taels of silver, if converted into gold and brought back, would equal one hundred and fifty-six thousand two hundred and twenty-five gold coins!

These gold coins were enough for him to buy a noble title from Felipe IV, or to bribe his immediate superior and be promoted from bishop to diocesan bishop, or even diocesan archbishop!

No matter which choice he makes, he can become the most powerful person in the area.

He couldn't refuse such a temptation!

"Thank you, my dear sir, you are just like that..."

He racked his brains to recall the words he had learned from the Ming people. After a while, he slapped his forehead and spoke.

"You are as great as the gods in heaven."

"Please tell me, what can I do?"

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with his reaction. After nodding in affirmation, he finally expressed his thoughts.

"Since you are in the Ming Dynasty, you should know that we have millions of strong soldiers. They are good at fighting, whether on land or at sea, and are no less capable than soldiers from any other country!"

"Go back and tell Felipe IV that in the far east, the Ming Dynasty is very concerned about the situation in Spain."

"If he is willing to pay enough gold, the Ming Dynasty will send a powerful army to help Xibangya win this war."

mercenary!

This word had already appeared at this time. Western countries had limited populations, and when they participated in wars, they liked to hire these foreign troops with clearly marked prices.

Zhu Youxiao's plan was to take advantage of the chaos in Europe and send an eye there.

Not only can you earn gold, but you can also take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the war methods of Western European countries.

The most important thing is to find out their background and see how much discrepancies there are compared with the history books!

The number of people doesn't need to be too large, a few thousand will be enough.

This number of troops will not have much impact on the situation of the Ming Dynasty, but it will play an extremely important role in the future development of the Ming Dynasty!

After hearing these words, Ling Nan'e Zhenshi was very surprised.

"At once........"

"only these?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. The great King Felipe IV has always been generous. Although the empire's finances are a bit tight now, the money for hiring mercenaries can still be taken out."

"Just, sir, can you tell me who you are and why you can make such a big decision?"

"Will your emperor allow you to do this?"

Zhu Youxiao stood up, walked in front of him, bent down and stared into his eyes, speaking word by word.

"Since you want to know, I will do as you wish!"

"I am the Son of Heaven!"

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of millions of people!"

"In terms of status and bloodline, he is more noble than Felipe IV!"

"Yours, understand?"

Ling Nan'e Zhenshi was shocked. He couldn't believe what he heard.

The young man in front of me is actually the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

"How do you prove it?"

He asked back subconsciously, his tone full of panic.

Zhu Youxiao did not answer, because language is the least convincing thing.

He looked at Yutong standing beside him.

"Go and inform the officials in the city that I will go to the palace to attend court tomorrow!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Youtong was overjoyed and bowed quickly, then left the restaurant to issue notices to officials at all levels.

Your Majesty is going to reveal your identity in Nanjing!

At this time, there are only ten eunuchs around His Majesty, and I am the one with the highest official position, isn't it...

Hey Hey!

We can also experience the power of Otomo at home!

When Ling Nan'e Zhenshi heard Yutong's sharp voice, he already believed it 70%!

God!

That fair and clean fellow who looked like a woman turned out to be the legendary eunuch!

Chapter 110: After deducting Ba Sou’s money, is this just this little bit of money?

On the way south, although Zhu Youxiao deliberately concealed his identity, with thousands of cavalrymen on the journey, it was impossible to hide it from anyone who was interested.

However, they never stayed in any place for too long. They stopped to rest at night and set off immediately at dawn. Even if officials wanted to come and inquire about the situation, they could only watch the dust on the official road go away.

But this is Nanjing, and it is simply unrealistic to continue hiding it.

There is also a court team here, ranging from the Grand Secretary to officials from the six ministries.

The Five Cities Army is not just good at speaking out, they also have extremely sharp ears and eyes.

If such a big commotion still cannot make them take it seriously, then it is time for Zhu Youxiao to consider sending another wave of officials to Shaanxi.

And the fact was just as Zhu Youxiao guessed. At this time, the Ministry of War in Nanjing City was already filled with a group of officials.

"It says that the Northern Pacification Division is coming to Nanjing to investigate the case. Why do I feel like something is not right?"

"How is it possible! How big a case can cause the Royal Guards to mobilize thousands of troops at once?"

"That's right. I heard that Jiang has more than 4,000 war horses. This is a configuration of one person with three horses. If it's just a case, there is no need to mobilize so many people! Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless there are traitors in Nanjing!"

"Be careful with your words! How can you make random guesses about this? In my opinion, why not send someone to ask? Don't we already know where the Northern Pacification Bureau's gang is?"

The officials were guessing one after another, and one of them looked at Liu Tingyuan, the Nanjing Minister of War.

"Master Liu, only you are suitable to deal with this matter."

"Otherwise, I'll take the trouble for you to make a trip and see what they are going to do."

Liu Tingyuan glared: "What a joke!"

"In my opinion, we should just pretend we don't know about this matter and send someone to keep an eye on them quietly."

"Everyone stay still. If you act on your own and ruin the Northern Pacification Division's business, no one will be held responsible!"
