"You foreign ministers submitted a letter to meet with me seven days ago. Why?"
Finally getting down to business!
Joseph Lagrange breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said: "That's right, our beloved Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. We have three purposes in coming here."
"The first purpose is naturally to establish goodwill with the beloved Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty."
These words made Qianlong angry.
A group of barbarians attacked my Wan Island for no reason and occupied my land in the Qing Dynasty, and they actually said they were friendly?
snort!
When I train my soldiers well and have enough muskets, I will surely regain everything I lost before.
Qianlong endured his anger and wanted to hear what the barbarian envoy would say.
"The second purpose is that we want to open commercial ports in Jinmen, Jinling and other places, and we hope that the beloved Qing Emperor will give it permission."
"No!"
When Qianlong heard that trade was to be launched in Jinmen, Jinling and other places, he subconsciously couldn't tell.
Are these barbarians idiots?
Never consider our national conditions!
It is good enough to open a trade port for you in Guangdong and Guangxi. If we open a trade port for you in other places, how will the Qing Dynasty manage those tens of millions of nikans?
Alas, it's a pity that sea trade is very profitable, otherwise I would want to shut down all sea trade.
Joseph Lagrange shrugged: "Okay, dear Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, let me talk about our third purpose."
"The third purpose is to come for our stolen technology."
Speaking of this, Joseph Lagrange shrugged and laughed: "We want to take back the casting rights of the repeating firecrackers produced by the Qing Dynasty! Remind the Qing Dynasty that you have no right to produce the repeating firecrackers we invented without authorization."
Qianlong was stunned.
How do they know about repeating fire guns?
Did you invent it?
What's the meaning?
Joseph Lagrange continued: "I think the Qing Emperor should know about the so-called continuous fire blunderbuss. He is the fire blunderbuss developed and produced by Dai Zi. This fire blunderbuss..."
"You bastards, you barbarians came to our Qing Dynasty to run wild. You even said that our Qing Dynasty had no right to use your muskets. Are you looking for trouble?"
Really looking for trouble!
I saw Joseph Lagrange taking out a piece of paper from a briefcase.
He handed the paper to the eunuch!
The eunuch observed carefully.
Non-toxic!
This pile of paper is slightly old and looks like it has seen better days.
The paper is spread out, the content is very simple and formal!
Imprinted in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
The content of the book is the patent for the continuous fire gun that Dai Zi licensed to the Descendants of the Dragon at a high price.
The content is probably that Dai Zi sold the right to use the repeating fire gun to the Descendants of the Dragon Kingdom.
Then, all other personnel are prohibited from producing such weapons within fifty years, otherwise the Descendants of the Dragon has the right to hold them accountable.
There is also a fuse for Dai Zigai below!
Below is the production process of the repeating fire gun, with a series of miscellaneous weapon parameters.
The eunuch confirmed that there was no problem before kneeling and handing it to Qianlong.
Qianlong took the document and looked at it carefully.
He laughed!
After laughing, Qianlong said coldly: "Is this what you are doing for these three things?"
Joseph Lagrange nodded: "Yes, just these three things. Please agree to our conditions."
Phew~haha...
Qianlong laughed, holding his stomach and laughing wildly regardless of etiquette.
He threw the document down, and a group of civil servants took the document and looked at it carefully like hyenas.
"This is bullying me!"
"Dai Zi's weapons were actually sold by him? And became the weapons of the Southern Barbarians?"
"There is no such law in our Qing Dynasty."
Zhang Jia Agui said with a frown: "The intellectual property rights of you Western barbarians are of no use in our Qing Dynasty. It is really ridiculous to use this forged document to pretend to be Dai Zi and restrict our production of weapons!"
After he finished speaking, he shook his hand.
Tear~
Agui actually tore up the document.
Several times in a row, the document was completely torn into pieces.
The kind that cannot be repaired.
Joseph Lagrange frowned.
Chen Mu was overjoyed!
I'm worried that I can't find an honest reason!
Unexpectedly, this guy gave him a reason.
"My lord, may I ask your surname?"
"Zhangjia Agui!"
Chen Mu smiled broadly during the play, but put on a serious look on his face: "Mr. Zhangjia Agui, right? Do you know what it means to tear up our written evidence in a formal diplomatic occasion?"
?”
Agui smiled disdainfully: "I don't know!"
Chen Mu snorted softly: "Tearing up letters and written evidence represents only one thing... a fight to the death!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Agui and then at the Manchu civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty: "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, distinguished officials. We originally came with peace and just wanted to resolve our disputes in writing, but this
Agui tore up our evidence, which is an act of provocation."
Chen Mu took out a small dagger and threw it in front of Agui.
"This is our oath. When I arrive in the Qing Dynasty again, this weapon will be the day to slit your throat!"
"A bold maniac, how dare you threaten me, an official of the Qing Dynasty!"
"The ignorant barbarians just didn't respect the etiquette of my Qing Dynasty. This time they dare to threaten my important officials and guards of the Qing Dynasty to capture these barbarians for me."
Seeing that Qianlong did not stop the soldiers, Chen Mu shouted loudly: "Does this great Qing Dynasty not even know the etiquette of envoys from the two countries? You humiliated us first, and you dare to arrest us. What do you want?
The country is being destroyed!”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gao Bin intentionally or unintentionally.
The important officials and guards of the Qing Dynasty were so angry that they wanted to kill Chen Mu with their swords.
Seeing the god of death looking at him, Gao Bin knew that he couldn't hide.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted with all his strength: "Stop, stop it! This is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
When they saw that it was Qianlong's father-in-law and military minister Gao Bin who came out, the guards immediately hesitated.
The military attachés of the Qing Dynasty also temporarily stopped moving.
Looking at the Holy One, I found that he only had a gloomy look on his face.
These guards quickly sheathed their swords and then glared at Chen Mu and others!
Gao Bin first saluted Qianlong, and then held Agui's arm tightly.
Looking at Chen Mu, he forced a smile and said: "Master Agui doesn't know the etiquette of the Descendants of the Dragon country. This is a misunderstanding."
Chen Mu looked at Qianlong and found that the guy had a gloomy face and said nothing. He was quite bored.
I thought I could let these people see what rocket coverage is.
I didn't expect that someone still knew about it.
The Qing officials present were in an uproar.
They don't understand why Gao Bin High School defends the barbarian foreign minister so much!
But Gao Bin continued: "My lords, it is normal for Lord Agui to be angry when he saw Dai Zi's letter, because our Qing Dynasty does not have any specialized arms technology."
"You don't recognize our technology?"
Gao Bin's heart was pounding: "Mr. Dai Zi has been dead for many years. We need to contact their descendants to confirm whether they have sold these technologies. Envoys, you have been here for so long and you haven't had any food.
You can eat some food later and wash yourself off for a discussion."
"This is impossible, we don't have enough time. It's best to get these things done for us today!"
"Don't worry, envoys, you go to eat first and we will get back to you soon."
Gao Bin actually used you?
The Qing court officials were even more angry!
Chen Mu smiled and nodded: "Then where to eat? I really want to try the Manchu-Han Banquet!"
Gao Bin laughed along with him, then lowered his head and looked at Qianlong.
He extended his palm towards Qianlong.
five!
Qianlong gritted his teeth and ordered the eunuch: "Arrange a banquet and serve them well."
Chen Mu smiled and said: "Hey, Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I want to eat a full banquet between Manchu and Han Dynasties!"
The eunuch looked at Qianlong and nodded before kneeling and leaving.
"twitter!"
Soon, Chen Mu and others left.
Qianlong and a group of Qing ministers glared at Gao Bin.
Gao Bin knelt directly on the ground: "Long live Lord, we must not start a war at this moment. We can't lose the big for the small."
"Master Gao, you are damaging the majesty of our Qing Dynasty!"
"That's right, Mr. Gao, dying in battle is a small matter, but losing integrity is a big deal. When will I, the mighty Qing Dynasty, have to compromise?"
Agui laughed angrily: "Master Gao, you are trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige."
"Master Gao, why are you so weak? A descendant of the Eight Banners, you are actually afraid of the barbarians who are worse than pigs and dogs?"
Many important ministers, you and I scolded Gao Bin with each word.
But Gao Bin was seen kneeling on the ground, waiting for Qianlong to speak.
Qianlong, who had been pretending to be nonchalant, suppressed his anger, thinking about the smile of his fifth elder brother, and asked: "Gao Aiqing, tell me why you take care of those barbarians so much!"
"Long live my Lord, we cannot start a war for the time being. The Western countries have ships. If we start a war easily, countless people along the coast will suffer."
"Our Eight Banners Army can easily destroy the enemy."
Agui snorted coldly: "How can there be no casualties in a war? There are only a few casualties, but it's harmless."
"Do they have the strength to cholera Jiangnan?"
Cholera Jiangnan?
This is serious.
Jiangnan was an important tax area of the Qing Dynasty, and half of the world's taxes were collected from Jiangnan.
If Jiangnan was lost, the Qing Dynasty would be bleeding heavily.
Gao Bin continued: "My lords, Your Majesty, these people are not Japanese pirates from the Ming Dynasty! They have strong soldiers and horses, and high combat effectiveness. If they start a war rashly, they will definitely attack the provinces south of the Yangtze River!"
"I was born in the Qing Dynasty by fighting, not by kneeling. You, a dignified minister of military aircraft, said such words that make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige, you should be killed!"
Gao Bin cried and said: "Long live my Lord, please listen to what I have to say first. Then it won't matter whether you kill or scrape."
No one is forcing Gao Bin anymore.
Qianlong said calmly: "Say it. After you tell it, I can pick off the flower feathers on your head!"
Gao Bin knew that what he was going to say next would determine his life or death.
While he became more and more cautious, he also knew that he had to use aniseed to suppress everyone's momentum.
"Long live my lord, to put it bluntly, the imperial court does not have a navy now, and none of us with thousands of miles of coastline can defeat the foreigners!"
Everyone wanted to scold him, but Qianlong waved his hand: "Let him speak."
After Gao Bin's mind was racing, he said cautiously: "Long live my lord, our most elite navy in the Qing Dynasty is strong in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. Although the Denglai navy has tens of thousands of people, its combat effectiveness cannot keep up with the southern army."
Qianlong nodded!
The navy located in the Denglai area mainly defends Beizhili, as well as Ludong and other places. Compared with the sea in the south, there are very few ships and pirates.
Their combat effectiveness and ships are really inferior to the Southern Navy!
"Long live Lord, we cannot go to war with the Dragon Kingdom and the Western Europeans for the time being."
"Because they are on our land. If we kill those people rashly, they will harass us ruthlessly. Our losses will be infinite."
"One of them is that we lack elite naval warfare troops! Everyone knows that the Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions are all elite, but they were annihilated in one battle. The current strength of the Denglai Navy cannot be reused, and our maritime power cannot be compared with the enemy."
The important officials of the Qing Dynasty all nodded. They thought they were invincible in land battles, but not in naval battles.
"Secondly, the fleets of the Dragon Kingdom and the foreigners number tens of thousands, and they have foreign guns and artillery. Our place is completely unable to stop the enemy's attack. They can attack us from anywhere on the coastline. If a war starts rashly, the tax-heavy area of Jiangnan will definitely be reduced to
The earth is scorched. Countless families have lost their wives and children, and the court cannot collect taxes!"
"If we kill those envoys rashly, not only will the enemy find an excuse to attack us, but the fifth prince's life will also be in danger."
Everyone was shocked, and then they realized that Long Live Lord's favorite fifth elder brother was still in the hands of those barbarians.
Qianlong's heart was full of emotions.
Fifth elder brother, it’s his sore foot!
Jiangnan was also a place where nothing could happen to the Qing Dynasty.
When Gao Bin said this, he completely touched the hearts of Qianlong and a group of important officials of the Qing Dynasty!
If you think about it carefully, this is really the case.
Before the imperial court can train enough troops to deal with those barbarians, it would be better for them to endure the humiliation and endure the hardship!
When the time comes to take revenge, it will definitely be countless times more satisfying!
"Then we can only be humiliated by foreign ministers? Then where is the power of the Qing Dynasty? Where is the majesty?"
