"Why not a man like a gui!"

Amid the deafening and jubilant sound, Yu Ermei, who was in the upper room, seemed very calm.

Unlike others, his wife is a Dutch woman. As early as the early years of the Shengsheng period, he had just obtained a Jinshi, so he was very keen to learn from the West. He had been to Macau and Manila, and even came to Europe with Dutch merchant ships. He always understood and studied Europe as much as possible.

This was both his interest and his...profession. He served in the Jinyiwei North Town Fu Office. Understanding Europe itself was his duty. He even turned his marriage into a part of it - marrying the daughter of a Dutch merchant as his wife.

For a Jinshi, this is unimaginable. Yes, he is not only an Jinyiwei, but also a Jinshi who is on the list.

But... if you like it, you like it.

Of course, more often, he was eager to understand Europe. From the sixth to the eleventh year of the sacred sacred, he had been traveling in various European countries. As a Chinese, he was once a guest of honor for many nobles, which also allowed him to gain an in-depth understanding of all aspects of Europe.

After returning to China in the eleventh year of Gan Sheng, he wrote his travels into a report, which was an analytical study based on the history and characteristics of European countries, and reported the conclusions of the research to the Pacification Division in a summary. Even until he traveled, this report was first-hand intuitive information about the Ming Dynasty's understanding of Europe.

In the mission, his position was not conspicuous, but just a small "translator". It seemed very inconspicuous, but in fact, he was Zhu Youbin's "affiliate".

"Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the rulers of the European countries lack the ability to rule and are separated from the people. The regime is dominated by the palace, while the rulers of the palace form some kind of opposition with the vassals and the general public. Such opposition leads to constant internal struggles and frequent regime changes. The so-called court is simply the nest of conspirators and moral corrupts..."

This is Yu Ermei's evaluation of European countries. In short, it is a complete "bad review". Of course, it is precisely such "bad review" that allows him to see the opportunity.

"Chance!"

Turning back and looking at Zhu Youbin, the leader of the Ming Dynasty mission, Yu Ermei, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, said softly,

"For us, what we need is not to capture cities and land in Europe. There is nothing that the Ming Dynasty needs here. Europe is actually poor, and they have almost no special output. At most, they just produce some guises, that's all!"

It’s not that Yu Ermei despises Europe. He is telling the fact that Europe is indeed of no value for the Ming Dynasty. They are not as hardworking and tame as the Indians, nor are they as abundant as Southeast Asia, nor are they as abundant as gold and silver mines and vast land like America. This is poor, and tens of millions of people, Europe is crowded on this old continent, living a difficult and poor life under the rule of the nobles, and even the people here are ugly.

It is true that a man is a good orc, but what is the good one?

Whether it is Li Bai's "Jade Jiong and Jiong's eyes, golden fists and red hair" or Bai Juyi's "Hand with hanging chicks and heavy waists, golden bells and snowy faces", they are limited to the description of the beautiful Hu Ji. As for the Hu people, Yan Shigu of the Tang Dynasty pointed out when he made an annotation for "Book of Han: Biography of the Western Regions": "The shape is the most distinctive, with blue eyes and red beards. He looks like macaques, and his species is the same." Xuanzang, who was later called the Tang Sanzang, described the description of the Hu people he saw along the way in "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" as "ugly appearance" or "shortly appearance and green eyes". Monks do not lie. It is certain that Hu people are ugly.

Even when the mission first came to Europe, he was scared to death by the Europeans' appearance. Until now, the mission still laughed at the ugly and strange nose of the "Hu Man".

For the Ming Dynasty, if America was not available, Europe would not even have the qualifications to be a place for commodities to be dumped - without precious metals, what would they use to buy commodities from the Ming Dynasty?

But even so, Yu Ermei didn't think this place was worth mentioning. In his opinion, Europe was the biggest opponent of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"But, the only one who is likely to challenge the Celestial Empire is that only European countries have the opportunity. Who among these countries will become opponents of the Ming Dynasty? Perhaps, France may, and even England. Now England is in our control. Whether they want to, as long as they are our vassals, we have time to regulate them. In the end, England will become a springboard for us to enter Europe. Now, the whole of Europe has opened its arms to us, Prince!"

After a pause, Yu Ermei said.

"The opportunity is right in front of us now. As long as we seize the opportunity in front of us, we can not only disintegrate Europe, but also master Europe, so that Europe will no longer pose any threat to our Ming Dynasty!"

"oh!"

Zhu Youbin asked back.

"Why do you think that only Europe is a threat to us?"

"Prince, as we all know, the threat to the Ming Dynasty will never be any more barbaric barbarians. In the face of machine guns and heavy artillery, no matter how barbaric barbarians are, they are all worth mentioning. They are just for thousands of miles away. Compared with other countries, Europe is more willing to learn, and even in some aspects, we have learned from them that science, and in the whole world, only exists in the Ming Dynasty or Europe,"

Although he was a bit arbitrary, what he was talking about was the fact that whether it was "the study of the West in the East" or "the study of the East in the East", during the entire 16th and 18th centuries, the only active technological exchanges between various civilizations were Europe or the Ming Dynasty. Apart from that, there was no other civilization. The Green Church, which seemed to rule for half a century, was actually not worth mentioning except for barbarism.

The Ottoman gunners and musketeers were actually trained by European sects, and of course they were also those former Christians who cast cannons and musketeers for them. At most, they were just a group of robbers who were good at using their stolen wealth to buy traitors. In this regard, it has to be said that the Ottomans, Mughals and the Qing Dynasty all had very similarities in common.

They never believe in the so-called science or the so-called civilization. They are extremely destructive of local civilization. As long as it is beneficial to their rule, their slavery is enough. Of course, in order to maintain their slavery, they will generously give money and official positions to those traitors, so that they can serve them.

That's all.

However, European countries are different. They have already walked out of the ignorant medieval Europe and are moving in another direction. As an outsider, Yu Ermei clearly saw the difference in this Europe, so she wanted to cut off this possibility.

"Among the European countries, Spain seems to be powerful, but in fact it is the least troublesome. As long as their enthusiasm for religion does not fade away for a day, they will never be able to be powerful. As for England, they are already our subordinates, and even if they want to leave in the future, they will inevitably fall into endless wars. Whether it is England, Ireland, Scotland, as long as we are willing, they can split them into three countries at any time. Since the emperor can enthrone a king of England, will Ireland and Scotland be far away?"

When it comes to playing power and tricks, the Ming people are definitely the ancestors of Europeans. As long as England boarded the Ming ship, the Ming Dynasty had some tricks to deal with them.

The so-called "Anglo-Saxons" and "ordinary and great" are just a joke in front of the Ming Dynasty. In front of the "subsiders of Yan and Huang", "Anglo-Saxons" are not enough at all. As long as you are willing, the Heavenly Kingdom can teach them to be human beings anytime and anywhere.

In the future, there will definitely be various tricks to check and balance them. If they want to escape from the control of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely pay an extremely heavy price.

Of course, Zhu Youbin has no doubt about all this, and even now, he has already begun to plan everything, at least some of the foreshadowings he has begun to lay.

Some things must be planned in advance, rather than cramming at the moment. Only in this way can we be prepared and not be subject to others in the future.

"So, in your opinion, who would be a threat to the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Youbin asked back.
