Chapter 279 Flickering lame!(1/2)
Facts have proved that Pei Tugou's worries are purely unnecessary. Whether it is the process of catching people or returning, they are calm and even Pei Tugou feels a little suspicious of life.
It was not until Pei Tugou started to perform the second mission that he really encountered the Indian barbarians with a lot of resistance he had imagined surrounded by the divine cows, trying to stop Pei Tugou and other Jinyiwei.
I feel that I would rather die than retreat.
Pei Tugou prefers such tough guys, especially tough guys who dare to stand up to the pressure of the Jinyiwei and can fight to the death.
"You cannot capture the divine cow. This is the mount of the gods. If you capture the divine cow, you will offend the gods, and the gods will definitely punish you!"
"Vishnu will surely bring down his terrifying anger!"
"The Brahma God will punish you!"
"Shiva will punish you sinners, and the emperors of you sinners, will definitely suffer from Shiva's anger for this!"
At the beginning, Pei Tugou was still listening to these Indian barbarians bragging with enthusiasm. After all, they could make all the messy things into gods, and every god was very awesome, which made Pei Tu
The dog and others felt like they were listening to crosstalk.
But when Pei Tugou, who had just thought about how to fabricate these people, could no longer laugh.
Someone scolded the emperor in front of the Jinyiwei, and this person was not a citizen of the Ming Dynasty...
Pei Tugou's face immediately became cold and he shouted angrily: "Clear the scene! No one left!"
As we all know, the end of a tough guy is often not very good, and it is difficult for flesh and blood to fight against muskets. Therefore, when Tu Peigou ordered the clearing of the scene, these people were just blocked in front of Pei Tugou and others, boasting that the Indian gods had
What a powerful Indian barbarians got together.
Then, the other group of Indian barbarians dispersed, not as if they were as ready to die as before.
This incident made Pei Tugou a little confused.
Where is the tough guy?
Are you looking at death as if you are home?
What about the awesome gods?
That's it?
The Emperor Zhu Jinsong, also felt that he was doubting his life.
Zhu Jinsong had thought that there would be a conflict.
In fact, when Pei Tugou and others were sent to capture Brahmin monks at the beginning, Zhu Jinsong had already considered the possibility of conflict, and even the troops sent to support Pei Tugou and others were ready.
Get ready.
However, Zhu Jinsong did not expect that the process of arresting Brahmin monks was very easy, but instead there was a conflict while catching the cattle.
Of course, for Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, it is not important whether there was a problem when arresting Brahmin monks or when catching a cow. What is important is that Zhu Jinsong finally found a relatively perfect excuse.
By the way, the promise of inviting Louis XVI and George III to eat beef was also fulfilled.
Zhu Jinsong held a steak in his hand, signaled to Louis XVI and George III, and then said with a smile: "Did you see it? This is called "Master is famous."
"The same is true for you on Europa. If you occupy the truth, don't care who you beat, no one else can say anything in the end. If you win, the whole Europa will praise you. If you don't win, the whole Europa will praise you.
Europa will also be on you in his heart.”
"Like you did something against the Habsburg family before, it was actually a bit reckless. You should find a better excuse."
Louis XVI frowned and said, "A better excuse?"
Zhu Jinsong nodded and said, "Of course, for example, your French soldiers ran to the territory of the Habsburg family and disappeared inexplicably. You want to search and rescue your French soldiers. Is this a very reasonable reason?
”
"Or it is reasonable that you have someone bury something on the territory of the Habsburg family first to prove that it is your French territory since ancient times?"
"However, since you have already started the film, it doesn't make any sense to talk about these things anymore. Let's try the beef steadily. I have always been curious about what the beef in Tianzhu tastes."
George III held the steak in his hand thoughtfully and said, "We in England have a colony overseas. If we sell this colony, I feel a little reluctant. After all, you know our France and our land area.
Very small.”
"But, this colony is in the hands of our England, and its size is a problem, because there is copper mine on this colony, so it is very likely to affect the friendship and harmony among the five good people. You think, I
How to do it?"
Zhu Jinsong's heart moved and asked, "Mine copper? Sri Lanka?"
George III nodded and said, "Yes, Sri Lanka's copper mine, I actually don't care much about that copper mine, but I care about the land there. I hope you can help me think of a solution?"
Zhu Jinsong immediately laughed and said, "Sri Lanka, of course, is your English colony. The Ming Dynasty has no idea of snatching Sri Lanka. What are you worried about?"
"This way, you can recruit some laborers here before your British East India Company has left India, and then let these laborers go to mine for you."
"As for how to determine the price of ore or copper, I think this is a problem between the Ming Dynasty and the Ministry of Revenue in England, and it is not something we both should care about."
"What we should be most concerned about now is that if the beef in front of us is later, it will probably be cold."
Hearing Zhu Jinsong say this, George III's heart that had been hanging when he returned from the Ming Dynasty was finally relieved.
Sri Lanka does have copper mines and its reserves are still large. If they are mined, England should make some money. George III would definitely not want to give up Sri Lanka.
However, George III was also very clear in his heart that even if he did not sell India to the Ming Dynasty, England would not have the ability to preserve Sri Lanka.
In terms of ground advantages, the Ming Dynasty could attack Tianzhu at the same time from land and sea at any time. As long as it captured Tianzhu, the Ming Dynasty's navy could attack Sri Lanka at the same time from both the Tianzhu and the old port.
In terms of sea surface advantages, the Ming Dynasty's warships have evolved into ironclad ships. Now England's warships are still mainly made of wooden sailing ships. The exploration of ironclad ships is only beginning to study how to wrap iron sheets, and they have not yet had the ability to use steam engines on warships.
In this case, once the film is opened with the Ming Dynasty, even if England has India as a base, they can only be beaten passively.
So, George III was actually struggling all the way.
Now I heard the two soldiers who were killed by Zhu Jinsong were missing and sold as evidence.
George III was really afraid that Zhu Jinsong would play this trick in Sri Lanka, so he had to ask this question that made him so much.
After almost the whole cattle banquet was eaten, George III spoke, "By the way, how many laborers are you going to recruit in Tianzhu? How many of them are left to us in England?"
Zhu Jinsong said with a hush, "The Ming Dynasty recruits labor, but there is actually no limit at all. You should know that there are many places that need to be used for the Ming Dynasty. It takes labor to build railways, and it takes labor to open mountains and mines, so don't say
It’s Tianzhu, even if you read all the people on the small ball and get them to work as a laborer in the Ming Dynasty, it’s probably not enough.”
"Of course, I just said that if there were so many workers, the Ming Dynasty would still have to worry about not enough food."
"Let's do this. Before the officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel arrive, you England should recruit workers from copper mines first. This time is about half a year to a year. How much you can recruit depends on your ability. The rest
The laborers belong to the Ming Dynasty, how about it?"
George III nodded, agreeing to Zhu Jinsong's proposal.
In half a year or a year, it is enough for England to recruit enough laborers in Tianzhu. They will go back to Sri Lanka to mine copper ore, and then sell copper ore to the Ming Dynasty. It is estimated that England will be able to eat this wave.
fullness.
Zhu Jinsong smiled and said to Louis XVI: "Where are you France? Don't you need labor?"
Louis XVI was stunned and asked, "France also needs labor?"
After asking, Louis XVI secretly scolded himself for being too stupid, and hesitated, "Can we France come to Tianzhu to recruit workers?"
Zhu Jinsong looked at Louis XVI with a caring and mentally retarded look and asked, "Does France not need labor? Why can't France come here to recruit labor?"
"The laborers here can't be used up for a while in the Ming Dynasty, and even if they add England, they can't be used up. Even if you count them, France may not be used up."
"The key is that you France must need labor now. If Napoleon's attack on the Habsburg family was smoother, would you France not start building roads?"
"Building roads is a very dangerous thing. There are many sections of roads or mountains that are very dangerous. If the casualties of the people in their homes are too great, you French court don't have to think about how to explain to the people? If it's a laborer, you still need to use it.
Do you have to feel distressed?"
Louis XVI looked at Zhu Jinsong gratefully and said, "Thank you, I know what to do."
Zhu Jinsong then nodded with a smile.
Did the Ming Dynasty need the barbarians of India to be the common people?
Not needed.
If all the barbarians in India were turned into laborers, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to digest them for a while. This was not hundreds of thousands of workers, but tens of millions. Such a huge number of workers was just about dressing and eating.
Enough to be troublesome.
Therefore, instead of the Ming Dynasty having a headache for these workers, it would be better to let England and France help the Ming Dynasty share some of the pressure.
As for whether these laborers will steal the jobs of the English and French people, will they bring the caste system as well after they recruit them, and will they cause other chaos...
Does Zhu Jinsong need to care about these things?
In the final analysis, it is because the number of people in the Ming Dynasty was seriously insufficient.
If the number of people in the Ming Dynasty could exceed 500 million, Zhu Jinsong would dare to rush his troops to Sri Lanka now, snatch the meat from England's mouth, and let the people in the Ming Dynasty plant tea in Sri Lanka, and mine it with the same mining. If it could exceed 600 million, it could exceed 600 million.
, Zhu Jinsong dares to take down the entire Europa now.
The problem is that the number of people in the Ming Dynasty was not enough. According to the calculations of the Ministry of Revenue, even in the most ideal situation, by the 12th year of the Holy Emperor, it had just exceeded 400 million, and even the existing territory could not be digested. Even to the Tianzhu side
The need for migration cannot be met, let alone Sri Lanka or the entire Europa.
Therefore, Zhu Jinsong is now hoping that they can recruit more workers, and it is best to repair all the Europa roads while sharing the pressure for the Ming Dynasty, and create some trouble.
