Those damn Daming people seem to have been under some devil's spell, no matter how much the people we sent tried, they didn't mean to be our eyes. "
Seeing Muhammad IV looking at him silently, Koprulu explained: "It has nothing to do with silver coins, it has nothing to do with gold coins, in fact, no matter how many gold coins or silver coins we send, they are not interested at all.
It seems that the dog emperor of the Ming Empire is like a god in their eyes, and they dare not betray that dog emperor at all.
It's not that we haven't thought about threatening them with death, but it doesn't work.
In fact, I have already sent someone to quietly arrest a Daming man, until he died, this man did not agree with our eye plan. "
Rubbing his head, Muhammad IV said: "You know, if we can't find the eyes, then we won't be able to get more news from Daming, and we won't be able to win more benefits for us.
Therefore, no matter how much you pay, you must find some qualified eyes, even if there are only a few, or even only one. "
Koplulu said: "I know, I will continue to find ways to continue to search. But I have to remind you that the method of arresting people and threatening to execute them can only be used for the first time, not the second time. .
Otherwise, once the Ming Empire is alerted, we will directly face the wrath of the Ming Empire. In addition to losing the benefits from the Suez Canal, we will also lose supplementary arms.
At that time, when we face those damn Mughals, we will be at a disadvantage instead of bullying them like we are now. "
Muhammad IV nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know the key here. If you can't buy them with money, if you can't scare them with death, then find a way to make friends with them, find a way to make them Tell us the information we need."
Koplulu smiled uglier than crying: "I will try my best."
It is not that Koprulu has tried the method proposed by Muhammad IV, but all the attempts were in vain in the end, and it was useless at all.
Taking money to buy people needs constant testing, and it can't arouse the vigilance of the Ming people, and the death threat is a one-time method. Once there is a second time, it is very likely that the Ming Empire will come to the door.
The last incident between little Ellis and those two Ming businessmen taught the whole world a profound lesson: don’t provoke the common people of Ming, unless you are mentally prepared to destroy the country!
After Muhammad IV nodded, Koprulu continued: "I will work hard on the eye plan. Our current focus should be on the Mughal side first, and there is this so-called sports meeting."
There are many countries with the same idea as Koprulu, and the final result is that almost all countries agreed to the proposal of the Ming Empire.
First, hold a sports meeting in the ancient Roman Colosseum. The theme is for world peace, and try to let everyone put down their hatred and live in peace.
It was really peaceful. For this sports meeting, the head of the Habsburg dynasty, the current Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III, gave Cairo, including the entire ancient Roman arena, to King Zhu Ciyi of Jin.
For Ferdinand III, his illegitimate daughter is now the Grand Duchess of Bavaria, the concubine of the Jin Palace of the Ming Dynasty, and the next Holy Roman Emperor. It is no big deal to give the city of Rome to his son-in-law.
It's definitely not because I'm afraid of the Daming Empire and the dog emperor of the Ming Empire!
And Emperor Chongzhen himself had no interest in the so-called mediation of wars between Europe and the Mughals, the Holy Roman Empire, and Tsarist Russia.
Mediation?
Of course, there is no problem for Daming to intervene. The problem is that after the mediation, they will not fight or die. Where can Daming get labor?Where can Daming go to find a bargain?Where did Daming go to sell arms?
To put it bluntly, the sports meeting is just a formality, and the focus is on the negotiations after the games, including arms trade negotiations.
As for Emperor Chongzhen taking his wives, sons and daughters out to play together, that was just an incidental benefit. It is impossible for the great Emperor Chongzhen to seek personal gain for himself in such a small matter...
However, after the novelty passed, Emperor Chongzhen planned to pat his ass and leave.
The city of Rome is relatively better, after all, because Emperor Chongzhen is coming, and Zhu Ciyi, who knows what kind of environment Emperor Chongzhen and his mother and concubine enjoy in the Ming Empire, has ordered people to clean up the city of Rome long before the start of the sports meeting. .
Coupled with the sprinkling of clear water on the loess pads, and those rich perfumes that are regarded as the lifeblood of European ladies, they are sprinkled in the city as if they don’t need money, and finally the environment in Rome is better.
Except for the city of Rome, nothing has changed in the rest of the place, it stinks as it should.
The last time the Holy Roman Empire carried out a large-scale clean-up operation under the command of Ferdinand III, it was laughed at by the European barbarians at the beginning, but when it was later seen that the Holy Roman Empire carried out a large-scale clean-up, the benefits were too great, and the remaining The savages below couldn't sit still.
Because Ferdinand III followed suit by digging out the Xiangdu buried in the ground and imitating his son-in-law. He took those Xiangdu and buried them in the ground as fertilizer. As a result, the grain production increased in the second year. up!
The reaction brought about by the increase in production is also obvious. At least the current black bread can be called real black bread. Dead man's black bread!
Facts have proved that the European barbarians are not really lazy, nor are they really particular about shitty human rights, but because they have not seen the benefits.
Now that they have seen the benefits of using Xiang as fertilizer, the European barbarians no longer talk about human rights, and they automatically and consciously began to clean up those Xiang streets, and even fought because of it.
Then, the Netherlands and Spain, which already had hatred, plus France fought directly at sea because of an island.
The reason is simple, because human dung can be used as fertilizer to increase the land's production, and it makes no sense that those island dung can't—so a bird island next to France was targeted by three countries at the same time.
There is only one island with a lot of bird droppings, but there are three countries that are interested in this island at the same time, so there is nothing to say. Who owns it.
Theoretically speaking, France is the closest to this bird island that doesn't even have a name, and the people also hope that the French government can hold Bird Island in its hands, which belongs to the geographical advantage and the harmony of people.
However, the French army is really weak.
French men who are romantic or extremely lazy are not keen on fighting. Even if they line up to surrender, they don’t like to fight. Can't win.
Perhaps only when facing the mite Qing, France can fight with vigor and vitality, with back and forth...
The distance between the Netherlands and Spain is relatively far from Bird Island, and they do not have an advantage in terms of geographical advantages. Although the people in the two countries also hope to get Bird Island, it also allows the two countries to occupy a harmonious relationship. for a bird?
What's more, the two families have their own hatred, and they have long disliked each other, and they both wish to kill each other. It would be better if they monopolize Bird Island, so how can they work together to kill France first?
So it really let the French army land on Bird Island first.
However, Pierre, who holds the title of Governor of Bird Island, panicked.
The Sultan of Ottoman Turkey is almost a young child. The current King Louis X of France has just turned 19 years old and has not yet taken over power from his mother Anne of Austria. The main minister, Mazarin, appointed successor of Cardinal Richelieu.
Although he has not yet been in power, Louis Dieudonne Bourbon has obviously begun to get in touch with government affairs, especially as Mazarin's health is getting worse day by day, Louis XIV has accelerated the pace of taking over government affairs.
And Anne in Austria was obviously happy to see the results. She didn't even think about continuing to control government affairs, but happily began to give up her power.
After all, there are rumors that the marriage between Anne of Austria and Louis XIII was a political marriage, and the two were unhappy after marriage, and they began to live apart after only five years of marriage.
Because of Anne's Spanish origin and her status as a member of the Habsburg dynasty, Richelieu was always worried about her betrayal of France, so that Richelieu repeatedly accused Anne of planning a rebellion against Louis XIII.
After the death of Louis XIII, Anne took on the arduous task of regent for her young son, Louis XIV, the "Sun King" touted by European barbarians.
Perhaps Anne avoided suspicion because of her birth, or because Mazarin really had an affair. In short, she handed over the power of internal affairs and foreign affairs to Mazarin, the heir designated by Richelieu.
If the rumor that Anne had an affair with Mazarin and put a green hat on Louis XIII was true, now that her lover's health is getting worse, it is normal for Anne to be worried.
Thinking of this, Pierre couldn't help crossing his chest. After all, thinking about these messy things in his heart is disrespectful to the queen mother and ministers in power, and it is not the cultivation that a nobleman should have.
However, I was always a little flustered.
What kind of bird is the French army? Pierre is very clear in his heart. Although the equipment is not inferior to those of Spain and the Netherlands, when it comes to the army itself, that is, the soldiers, it is not a star and a half behind. .
However, no matter how flustered he was, Pierre didn't dare to show it, for fear that his panic would make the troops stationed on Bird Island lose their morale after panicking.
It wasn't until the warships of the Netherlands and Spain appeared on the sea level again that Pierre realized that his so-called not panic was completely deceiving himself.
Longueville stood behind Pierre, his eyes unconsciously gliding over Pierre's slightly trembling legs, and then he said: "My lord, now that the Spanish and Dutch fleets have appeared, who shall we help? "
