Chapter 329: Request
Chen Jiujing did not deceive Margaret, he did send a fleet back to the Gulf of Mexico, and the messenger on the ship rushed to Changsheng via Mexico City as soon as he docked, and sent a letter to Chen Jiujing's father-in-law, Chen Mu.
However, the letter was not all about asking for weapons, more importantly, he wanted to follow Chen Mu's advice.
But for Chen Mu, the former is a bit difficult for him, and the latter is completely impossible to achieve.
"Where do I have advice for him...... Look at these messy names above, which one of these relationships is big, and you want me to give him advice? ”
Chen Mu looked at Chang Xin and rubbed his head, and finally patted the table and said: "I just have a suggestion, he can help me save my worries, and kill all these people with the same name and more than four words, okay?" ”
Chen Mu was really worried when he looked at the letter, not only because of the low level of education of these people, but also because the name was either Henry or John, and even the name and surname were longer than his handcuffs.
More important is his worries.
The godsons are all too young, and they don't care about their marriage at all, Li Dan and Chen Bazhi don't talk about it, one lost his father at an early age and the other Wei grew up eating hundreds of family meals, Chen Mu can understand their thoughts, but he is afraid that he has three longs and two shorts, and the child will be born in the future with the same tragic life experience as himself.
But Chen Jiujing, what's going on? The family and the beautiful child pondered things so unusually, and slept with a French princess, and the letter mentioned that eight out of ten people had a sentence that this was Margot's lover...... What kind of fairy princess is this?
As a result, it seems that he intends to send troops to intervene in the religious wars in France.
"Jiujing did a good job, got to the port of France, and recruited the Xiyong battalion to fight. But what's going on, I'm going to fight for a woman, what good is this battle for Daming? ”
To be honest, Chen Mu has never had France in his eyes, and there have always been only three countries in his eyes.
One is England, where handicrafts are the backbone of the country and the "Apprenticeship Act" has been introduced, and the other is the northern provinces of the Low Countries where the commercial state is becoming stronger and stronger, and it was in a letter sent by Chen Jiujing this year that he knew that the Northern Alliance had been established, which was the predecessor of the Dutch state.
Not to mention Greater Spain, which has promoted friendship through many friendly exchanges.
France, what does France do?
Do you still want to rule people?
Not to mention the impossibility of the problem, there is no need at all.
They are in the midst of civil war and civil strife, so let them continue to fight and continue to be chaotic, isn't this the original intention of the Ming army landing in Europe, what else is there to mix? They did it all themselves.
Chen Mu thinks that France under the leadership of Hum Lao San is very good, very good, just fucking great!
And if you really want to say that it is not impossible, there may be, at least one percent, if the goal is lowered, for example, Chen Jiujing said in the letter that he intends to hold the banner of his lover in the name of supporting the rule of secession, which is at least more than forty percent of the possibility.
No, this possibility is so high that Bai Yuanjie said happily after reading the letter and roughly understanding the names of these people: "The Nine Classics have the posture of a courtier when he was young, this is an excellent plan, but it can be a wedge in France and even Europa, and the price is very small, his hue, the value of betrayal." ”
"The price is not small, Brother Jingchen, his army Baishan Battalion is the leader of the military government, not to mention, the six Xiyong battalions have risen to 6,000 horses of silk a year, they eat Spanish and use Spanish, which is equivalent to contributing to Fei Lao Er every year, but helping us is only a war, this is only one of them."
"Second, the Nine Classics want to establish a kingdom that is completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but this queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and most of the people in the country will believe in religions in the future, and there is only one solution to let them all believe in God, but in this way, Spain is closer to that, and in the end the best result is just to make a wedding dress for Spain."
Bai Yuanjie was puzzled by this, and spread his hands and said: "Aren't you against the people believing in the Yiren sect, then let them not believe in any of them." ”
"No, no, no, Brother Jingchen, listen to me, when it comes to being able to drag the country back, Catholicism is the boss, and Protestantism has to be more progressive, although I have always disliked those things, but I don't like them, because I or the Ming Dynasty don't need them, that thing is superfluous, but in Europa it must be there."
"Because they have no courtesy, they don't know benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, honesty and forbearance, which is our tool; It was their tool, and the monks enlightened and taught the people. In fact, the purpose is the same, they are just tools, but we pay more attention to the power of people themselves, tell people what is good and what is bad, and encourage people to become ideal perfect people; They use the mouths of the gods to restrain people. ”
"The reason why I don't like it is nothing else, it is because its clerical power is above human rights and royal power, it is only a tool to help rule, and it is a tool for other countries to help rule, and I naturally will not allow it to enter our country."
"I don't want us to regress, let alone make them progress, so supporting Catholicism in Europe is naturally the only option for the Ming Dynasty...... The Nine Classics are smart. ”
Chen Mu paced in the hall of the military palace yamen as he spoke, and finally turned back to the table and pressed the letter that Bai Yuanjie put on the table, and said: "He thinks that this battle is protracted, and the enemy army is numerous, and he needs me to communicate with Spain to provide him with enough baggage, and send him a batch of weapons, a batch of weapons that the Europeans cannot imitate, and a number of magic arrows." ”
"1,000 to 3,000 Divine Arrows."
This is a request that Chen Mu thinks is difficult.
"The Divine Arrow can't be imitated?" Bai Yuanjie couldn't intervene in religious matters, but he had presided over the Nanyang Military Government for many years, and he knew a lot about weapons, and said with a smile: "Such a simple thing is much easier to imitate than artillery." ”
"It is difficult to do fragments, but it is not impossible to do the kung fu that Fayi can build a Franco, and even put some gravel can do it, and it is not difficult to distinguish between pushing and explosives, at most it is to make it less lethal and fly closer."
Bai Yuanjie shook his head firmly and said: "As long as it falls into its country, it will be imitated." ”
Chen Mu raised his head and laughed, and said: "That is to say, pushing explosives does not know the composition and structure, at most it is very powerful, but where did they get so much gunpowder?" Even if they can build it, they will not be able to form an effective combat force and not get in the way. ”
"The divine machine arrow that can fly a thousand steps can't even be built in Jincheng, only the Nanyang Guard Weapons Bureau can do it, and this side can only build rockets with four hundred to six hundred steps, so I will transport these to him."
Saying that, Chen Mu turned his head to look at Bai Yuanjie and said: "We are going to prepare for war, two wars at the same time, once the situation is not good, it will evolve into a full-scale war between them and the Oriental Military Government, and then the whole of Europe will be dragged in, from this point of view, Jiujing's nonsense in France may be beneficial." ”
