Liu Hongjian was also very puzzled, why did this Dutchman go to Jianyu's side?

After a while, four foreigners who were tied into rice dumplings and had miscellaneous hairs on their faces were escorted in.

"Your Excellency the Honorable General of the Ming Dynasty, please allow us to introduce ourselves, we are not the enemies of the Ming Dynasty!"

The older man knew which was the protagonist as soon as he saw where Liu Hong was sitting, and shouted in stiff Chinese as soon as he came in.

"Shut your hairy mouth!" The soldier in charge of the guard behind him kicked him in the ass.

These people all have Marxist beards.

The Ming people also have beards, but the aesthetics of the Ming people are beautiful with long beards and beautiful hair, which are straight, black and straight.

But the beards of these people are curly, and the curly beards that are several inches long have not been taken care of for I don't know how long, and their mouths are almost covered, no wonder a few guards call them hairy.

"Bold, Jianyu's artillery is all being operated, but the official has seen it, and you dare to deny it?" The boss of one of the border army's glaring eyes said accusatory.

"Tell me, if you are not satisfied, you can go to your God!" Liu Hong gradually waved his hand to stop the dissatisfaction of the border army.

When you find a problem, it is not smart that jumps out immediately, but two hundred and five!

"Your Excellency, we are from the distant Netherlands, we are employees of the Dutch East India Company, and we are hired by the Great Qing Kingdom to teach them to use our newly developed heavy artillery!"

"Oh? Is Jianyu doing business with you? Liu Hong was gradually surprised, Jianyu has always been conceited to the extreme, especially for firearms, sneering.

"Yes, Your Excellency General, Lord Fan Wencheng of the Great Qing Kingdom contacted the company's top management and purchased our new heavy artillery!" Speaking of his own heavy artillery, this Dutchman has a proud face, and he has no consciousness of being a prisoner of the order.

"How many doors did you sell them?" Liu Hong gradually said patiently.

I said, Jianyu is suddenly interested in firearms, and it's this Fan Wencheng again, Made, a dead traitor, Lao Tzu will give you a cannon sooner or later!

"Forty gates, Your Excellency General, thirteen thousand taels of silver each! The Great Qing Kingdom only paid half, and the remaining half would not be paid until the end of the war! The Dutch were extremely unhappy with this, because it was clear that the rest of the money might not be returned.

In the middle of the 17th century, Spain and Portugal were in decline due to a series of wars, and the Netherlands, which was mainly engaged in business, was in full swing.

The name of the Dutch coachman is not for nothing, in fact it is a country founded on commerce, and the whole country is controlled by a large number of consortia, and the military power of the whole country is also in the service of these consortia.

The Dutch East India Company was the treasure of these consortia.

Liu Hongjian didn't fully believe in the statements of these Dutchmen, and he also had a new heavy artillery! Phew!

No one would be stupid enough to sell their most advanced firearms to a foreign country, not even the Netherlands!

Oh, maybe the builders will believe it!

But this giant cannon is indeed farther than most of the Ming Dynasty's city defense artillery, and the battle of Xifengkou illustrates the superiority of this heavy artillery!

"Well, Ben Hou heard that your warship is also very powerful, how much silver a piece, Ben Hou wants to buy it!" Liu Hong gradually asked tentatively, if they sell this thing, he will also want a million taels.

The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty is already too far from that of the Netherlands, and there is a huge gap between warships and warships!

"That doesn't sell, that doesn't sell, we don't have permission, but the top won't sell!" A couple of Dutchmen shook their heads like rattles.

The Dutch warships are the first in the world, and it is with these warships that they gallop in the Indian Ocean, how can they sell this thing.

"Oh, Ben Hou is to say, your heavy artillery, Ben Hou also took a fancy to it, Da Ming is a big deal, let's have a thousand first!" Liu Hongjian was just tempted and said casually.

"Huh? Is what the adults said true? A few Dutchman's eyes were about to pop out.

These heavy artillery pieces are obsolete products of the Dutch army, and they cannot be sold in Europe at all, and these countries in the East can still make some money.

In fact, they all said that Fan Wencheng, the minister of parliament of the Great Qing Dynasty, promised to buy forty doors to try first, and was only willing to pay half of the silver first.

And now the young marquis in front of him actually wants to buy a thousand doors at once.

You must know that as employees of the East India Company, they have a commission for selling products!

Oh my God, I'm rich! Oh no, I'm getting promoted!

The four Dutchmen were full of joy.

"Of course it's true, but as you can see, Benhou is now at war with Jianyu, and he has no time to do business with you.

Otherwise, how about you stay here and operate these two cannons first, and then buy your cannons after this battle? ”

Liu Hong gradually smiled and looked at a few foreigners, of course he was talking nonsense.

Joke! Just these inferior cannons that still use solid shells as shells, Daming doesn't look down on them at all.

Before he set out on the expedition, he had already given Song Yingxing the blueprints of the new grenade, and asked him to spend great efforts to study the new grenade, which was the flowering bomb, and in fact, the flowering bomb had been used in the two Song Dynasty.

The reason why there is no large-scale promotion is nothing more than that the stability of this thing is too poor, and it can accidentally play your own people to death.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, although there were improvements, they were still embarrassing and useless, and they were immediately discarded.

And Liu Hongji's drawings are relatively mature grenade drawings during World War II, and the structure of this thing is a bit complicated, which is estimated to be enough for Uncle Song to study for a while.

But as long as this thing is made, no howitzers, mortars, or grenades will be a problem.

"We comply with the request of His Excellency the General, but we also hope that His Excellency the General will keep your promise!" A few Dutchmen also suddenly realized their identity, yes, they were captives, even if they wanted to, they couldn't.

However, as a professional salesman, even if they are captives, they do not forget to remind the adults in front of them to buy their cannons!

“ok，ok！” I hope you can live until the end of the war, Liu Hong was gradually amused by these four hairy monsters.

Four Dutchmen were dispatched, and soldiers came to report that the meat had been stewed, and it was a busy day to work, and a large crowd was hungry.

Li Jie, the chief soldier of Jizhou, motioned to the soldiers to bring meat and wine to the camp tent, but was stopped by Liu Hongji.

"Let's go out to eat, and by the way, look at the soldiers, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together!" Liu Hongjian proposed.

The soldiers outside the tent had already eaten, and piles of people gathered around a cauldron, munching on horse meat while talking about the newly promulgated military merit pension system promulgated by the imperial court.

Killing a Tartar is one hundred taels, the pension is even more than five hundred taels, and the parents are also exempt from taxes for life, which is enough for their family to live a good life, even if they die in battle, it is worth it.

The soldiers each counted how much silver they would get from the battle, gnawed on the meat, drank the soup, and laughed.

There were also some soldiers who were killed in battle because of their robes, and they began to cry as they drank and drank.

The whole camp was extremely lively.

"The Overseer is here!" I don't know who shouted, and the camp suddenly became quiet.
