The Spanish officer repeatedly watched the Ming army muskets, and then told the translator whether he could fire a few shots?

This made Zhu Hongsan's guards embarrassed. Who knows what these foreigners think, and what if they hurt His Majesty the Emperor?

Han Sanqiang objected: "Your Majesty, you must not give them gunpowder. What if you accidentally hurt Your Majesty?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "It's okay, light him up and let him fire a shot!"

The emperor ordered Han Sanqiang not to disobey, but he also sent someone to protect the emperor and handed over a musket bullet to the officer.

The officer's eyes lit up after receiving the fixed-loaded bullets. Now the European army still uses bullets and gunpowder to separate them. If they learn from the Ming army's fixed-loading time, they can save a lot!

The officer loaded gunpowder under the guidance of Ming soldiers and fired.

After the end, all Spanish officers were stunned by the range of muskets. Unexpectedly, the range of the Ming army muskets was so long that they could fully guarantee accuracy within fifty meters, and the maximum range could reach 300 meters. Due to the airtightness of European muskets, even the shooting distance of heavy convex guns was only 150 meters, and the accuracy could be guaranteed within thirty meters.

Several Spanish officers muttered together for a long time before sending a major and Lopez to whisper for a while.

Lopez stood up and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, now my daughter is your imperial concubine. According to the etiquette of Ming Dynasty, should I give me a dowry? I am also a Spanish nobleman, and my aunt is the king's mother, so this dowry cannot be lowered. I want musket making techniques and gunpowder formula as dowry! I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty can agree?"

Zhu Hongsanyi was so happy when he heard these foreign lions speak loudly. Do you want to get my skills if you don’t have a penny?

Zhu Hongsan did not answer, but said to the doctor of the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Rites beside him: "Take the Spaniards down and treat them well, don't be too slow!"

After Zhu Hongsan said that, he ignored the group of Spaniards and turned around and returned to the palace.

In order to fight with the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan now needs the resources and wealth of the South China Sea, so he also hopes to form an alliance with the Spanish to deal with the Netherlands and Britain. Zhu Hongsan knows that Spain is going downhill now, but this downhill will take nearly a hundred years. Spain's overall strength is still stronger than the Netherlands and Britain. And Britain has not occupied all India now, but has only occupied several coastal cities along Kolkata. If he joins Spain to drive the British away, the entire Indian subcontinent will become its own backyard, and the Ming Dynasty will have a formal colony.

Nowadays, Luzon is only around Manila, where the land of Kaihua is located, and all other places are still places where people can live. There is still a long way to go to become a qualified colony.

But India is different. Now there are tens of millions of people in the Indian subcontinent, and these people are no less civilized than the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, India is now divided into dozens of national states, without a complete empire. After occupying India, these national states will be divided and disintegrated. In less than ten years, India will become a pearl on the crown of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Hongsan and the Spaniards have the same goals, Zhu Hongsan is a politician and knows who compromises first in this kind of negotiation will suffer losses, so Zhu Hongsan is going to let these Spaniards go for a few months first. Anyway, there is still time. When the Spanish are impatient, they will take advantage of themselves.

Although those Spanish locals didn't know the political wisdom of our Ming Dynasty, there were many old-fashioned people around Zhu Hongsan.

Zhang Huangyan, a military aircraft of the Military Affairs Office who was following Zhu Hongsan, knew that the emperor was ready to agree to an alliance with the Spaniards, otherwise he could not take them to see the military drills. But what Zhang Huangyan was afraid of was that the secret recipe of gunpowder on his side was not good for him to pass it to Europe.

"Your Majesty, it's nothing to do with the Espanyol Alliance, but is it a bit too much to give them musket manufacturing technology and gunpowder formula? What if the Espanyol turned around and attacked me with the idea of ​​Daming?"

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said, "It's mysterious, you don't know! In the distant Europe, it's not just Spain, they have dozens of the same countries. These guys beat the dead by themselves, just like the Chinese Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period! Now Spain has declined, and one of the countries called Britain is rising and posing a great threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future! Now I'm going to give the musket technology to Spain. I want to support Spain and let him fight the dead by life and death in Europe and Britain. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will make money, and the Europeans will die. Isn't that good?"

After hearing Zhu Hongsan's words, Zhang Huangyan broke out in a cold sweat. In the hall just now, Zhang Huangyan heard from the Spanish envoys that more than a dozen European countries had just ended a war, and one-third of the population died in the entire Europe. Now the emperor has to provoke disputes for his own interests. At that time, the Spanish army supported by the Ming army must avenge the previous shame, and many people will die in Europe!

Just when Zhu Hongsan left the Spanish mission aside, his own northbound peace talks were also left aside by the Qing Dynasty. However, the Qing Dynasty did not want to deal with this peace talks, but the Qing Dynasty's regent Dorgon was sick and the court was in chaos and there was no chief in charge, so Tong Tuchang and others were left aside.

Tong Tuchang has been in Beijing for half a month. Except for when he first arrived, a member of the Ministry of Rites came out to welcome him, and after he arranged for him to the innyard, no one took care of him. At the same time, he locked the delegation and his group in the inn on the grounds of different clothes and hats, and did not allow them to go around the streets freely.

The Qing Dynasty made Tong Tuchang so anxious. He was the main missionary. Now he had no choice but to ignore you. At the same time, he couldn't figure out the true attitude of the Qing Dynasty towards his own side. Tong Tuchang was so anxious that he ran around like an ant on a hot pan.

When Tong Tuchang saw Fang Fengnian, who was there, he asked, "Mr. Fang, it's been half a month since the Qing Dynasty hasn't summoned us yet, are you still in a hurry?"

Fang Fengnian smiled and said, "There is nothing to do if you are anxious. We can only wait until the Qing Dynasty thinks of us!"

Fang Fengnian can wait, but he has already come here to repay the king with his death, but Tong Tuchang is not good! He also wants to go back and get promoted and make money, and there is a beautiful wife and young son waiting for him at home.

Tong Tuchang turned his head and looked at Zhao Mengguan: "Sir Zhao, aren't your Jinyiwei omnipotent? Why is there no news now?"

Zhao Mengguan's decision to fight was also ruined by the peace talks, so he didn't do anything in the past half month. He only ate but also slept every day, and lived a very leisurely life.

Now hearing Tong Tuchang ask himself, Zhao Mengguan bowed and replied: "Mr. Tong, you have no orders! The lower officials are just military officers, and I don't know how to handle the orders of Shangguan!"

Tong Tuchang was so angry that he heard Zhao Mengguan say this. If you don’t order him, you will stay there?

Tong Tuchang suppressed his anger. There was no way. Now he wanted his subordinates to work, so he had to say harmoniously: "Okay! Lord Zhao, now I order you to contact the secret spies in the city to find out why the Qing Dynasty did not see us!"

Shangguan ordered Zhao Mengguan not to refuse to do so, and he had no choice but to stand up and receive the order.

Zhao Mengguan came out of Tong Tuchang's house and thought about it. It was not a solution to stay like this. It would be better to go out and ask what problems arise.

After Zhao Mengguan got it done, he found his most trusted confidant Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng caught up with Zhao Mengguan in Yangzhou and became a member of the mission. At the same time, Zhang Cheng was born in the market and was alert, which was Zhao Mengguan's help.

"Zhang Cheng, you dress up and go out, go to the old Ma family store in Nancheng, and connect with the spies in Beijing, and ask about the situation of the Qing court!"

Zhang Cheng nodded, went out to dress up, put on a Qing Dynasty jacket, a melon-skin hat, and a fake braid, which was similar to those ordinary people in the city.

Zhang Cheng came to the purity of the inn and saw that there was no one around and climbed up the wall.

The Ministry of Rites Inn is located in Mi Lane, Dongjiang. This is the north city and is still far from the south city.

After the Qing Dynasty occupied Beijing, it divided the northern city into Manchu city, and only Manchu nobles were allowed to live. At the same time, the northern city was divided into eight areas, and they were stationed by the Eight Banners. However, less than five years after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the northern city was still mixed with Manchus and Han people, so no one paid attention to Zhang Cheng's appearance.

The closest passage to the south city in North City is to take Zhengyang Gate, but Zhengyang Gate is the road taken by the emperor, and it can be opened all the time. Zhang Cheng had no choice but to detour Chongwen Gate.

Chongwenmen was the place where the tax customs were located in the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the old Ming Dynasty system was extended, and there was no change in Chongwenmen.

Zhang Cheng honestly handed over five bronze coins before he let him leave the city. The south city is now Han people, and the management is not as good as the north city. Zhang Cheng followed Zhao Mengguan's instructions and quickly found the Ma family's old store located in Caochang Hutong.

It is said to be the old Ma family store, but in fact it is just a small restaurant selling inferior soup wine in Nancheng Caochang Hutong. Nancheng Caochang Hutong is home to cool laborers, and the old Ma family store mainly does their business.

Zhang Cheng looked at the signboard of the Ma family’s old store and looked around again. No one followed him and bent down and walked into the store.

Now the whole north is short of food, and there is no food left. Then there are still people who come to the restaurant to have a drink, so the business of the Ma family’s old store is not very good, and there is not a single customer in the house.

After Zhang Cheng entered the house, he looked at the shop. There were only five tables. A guy sat next to the table and napped, while the shopkeeper lay on the counter and slept.

When Zhang Chen came in, the doorbell rang. The guy heard a customer coming to the door and stood up and asked, "Uncle is here! What do you want to eat? My restaurant has good old wine!"

Zhang Cheng looked around and sat down at a table near the window, asking, "What wine do you have?"

"Uncle, we have a bowl of homemade brews, so you can try it!"

"Is there three bowls that Wu Song drank but not the one?"

Zhang Cheng was talking about the incision in the Jinyiwei. The guy was stunned when he heard this and asked in a low voice: "Do you still need cooked beef?"
