Goodbye President Lu
It's already mid-November.
Like Robert Blake and George Monck, both are military figures, their perspectives are more driven by military considerations.
If they compromise, there is no doubt that they will be questioned about their ability to represent the military.
But people like Tang Ning are finance ministers.
Finance ministers consider issues based on expenditure and return on investment.
He knows that the Ming Dynasty's actions this time are not aimed at England and definitely not a military strike.
This matter can completely escalate to the level of geopolitical maneuvering among various European countries to play with.
Even Robert Black has nothing more to say.
Because even he knows that if we go to war with the Ming Army now, it will benefit our old rivals, France and the Netherlands.
Cromwell asked, "Lord Downing, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I believe that we can give them this money, and we can afford it, but France will certainly not give it."
"How are you so sure that France will not give it?"
"First, France is not aware of the Ming Dynasty's strength; second, France currently ranks first in power on the European continent, and they have their pride. However, pride itself is worthless."
George Monk said, "Sir Downing, you are truly a person who seeks only profit."
Instead of getting angry, Downing was actually quite pleased and said, "Money is the most wonderful thing in this world, so-called pride and dignity are all profanities to it."
Cromwell said, "Then let's do this, we will pay a patent fee of 3 million taels to the Ming Dynasty."
On the second day, Tang Ning went on a trip to a warship of the Ming Dynasty.
He met Zheng Chenggong and conveyed Cromwell's message, and promised to prepare the money within one month.
Even willing to assist the Ming army in collecting patent fees in other European countries on Europa.
Zhou Quanbin wondered, "Zheng Shuai, how did they suddenly change their attitude? Yesterday at the banquet, their people were very reluctant and wanted to fight us."
Zheng Chenggong smiled and said, "I suggest you read the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period a few more times."
"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"
"Yes, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."
"The British's thoughts cannot escape Zheng Chenggong."
They just want to provoke a war between the Ming Army and France, so that both sides suffer losses and they benefit as the fishermen.
But don't forget, in a struggle between sandpipers and clams, the sandpipers can only benefit when the strength of the sandpipers and clams is roughly equal.
In this way, Zheng Chenggong's fleet for the western expedition was anchored by the Thames River.
Everyone would often go ashore to buy some liquor and stroll around London.
The exotic atmosphere intrigued quite a few people.
But London's prosperity is definitely incomparable to the emerging mega-cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Xiamen.
Of course, not only are the Ming troops curious about London, but the Londoners are also full of curiosity about the Ming troops.
Many people often run to the bank of the River Thames to watch the Ming Army.
There are even many women who run there to wait for the Ming Army to come ashore.
As long as there are Ming Army soldiers coming ashore, they will immediately rush over and try to strike up a conversation for various reasons and establish a connection with these Ming Army soldiers.
In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty was a country filled with golden treasures, incredibly wealthy.
The culture of the Ming Dynasty was the most advanced in the world, and the clothing of the Ming Dynasty was the most beautiful in the world.
Ming Dynasty men are the most handsome men in the world, and the language spoken in the Ming Dynasty is also the most beautiful language in the world.
Even the air in the Ming Dynasty is filled with a sweet scent.
How could they let go of such an opportunity?
However, many soldiers in the Ming army seem to be uninterested in London women.
In the eyes of Ming soldiers, Western people have a strong body odor, especially strong underarm odor, and their facial features are rough, which does not meet the standard of beauty.
Don't mention it, in ancient times, this is indeed how people's aesthetic was.
Where does the term "guilao" come from?
It is used to describe Westerners.
The meaning is that they look like evil spirits.
However, beautiful women can be found anywhere, and there are also some Ming soldiers in the streets of London enjoying themselves, getting drunk, and chasing after girls, all in good spirits.
Zheng Chenggong also turns a blind eye to certain things.
After all, everyone has traveled a long way, feeling suppressed and in need of releasing their emotions.
In order to deepen the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, Cromwell also invited Zheng Chenggong to his mansion for a meal.
He even invited Zheng Chenggong to drink English beer and taste British cuisine.
In his spare time, Zheng Chenggong would share what he saw and heard in England with Zhu Yanlin through telegrams, to enjoy together.
On the first day of April, Zhou Quanbin arrived with his entourage and was accompanied by the British in landing in Normandy.
After some negotiations by the British, the French came to know that these were distinguished guests from the East who wanted to meet King Louis XIV of France.
Word of this quickly spread to Paris and caught the attention of a small number of people.
However, most people didn't pay much attention to it, after all, France's overseas trade was relatively weak, and their knowledge of Ming Dynasty was limited.
In this era, France was more obsessed with dominating the continent of Europa.
就说最近将西班牙干废这件事，就足够法兰西的那群贵族老爷们吹上一阵子的。
至于击败神圣罗马帝国的后续战争收尾，也是需要法兰西去忙活一阵子的。
And Louis XIV, who was already thirteen years old, started to have his own ideas, and he began to be restless and busy.
What was he doing?
He was purging the aristocracy.
The first aristocrat to be purged was Prince de Condé.
In this year, the historical Prince of Condé, joined forces with Spain to drive Louis XIV out of Paris.
But now Spain has been beaten to scrap, which is actually advantageous for Louis XIV.
On this day, the English arrived and Louis XIV heard the news. He also learned that an envoy from a great Eastern country had arrived.
He felt very curious.
However, it was not Louis XIV who received Zhou Quanbin, but his mother, Anne.
Annie is very famous in Europe. She is an Austrian princess and a member of the Habsburg family.
She is Queen of Louis XIII.
She met Zhou Quanbin.
Zhou Quanbin bluntly said, "I, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, extend sincere greetings to your country. At the same time, I hope your country can give us an explanation regarding the use of the steam engine." Translation:
The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mazarran, said: "Your Excellency, we do not quite understand what you mean."
"I mean, the steam engine that your country is using was invented by us, the Great Ming. We have the patent rights for it. According to the patent law of the Great Ming, if your country wants to use it, you must inform the Great Ming in advance and obtain permission. Otherwise, it will be a violation of the patent law of the Great Ming."
Ma Zaran said: "The patent law of Ming Dynasty is valid in Ming Dynasty. This is France, the place protected by God."
Zhou Quanbin said, "Your Excellency, are you not going to give an explanation?"
Queen Mother Anne sat on the throne, her eyes fixed on Zhou Quanbin without blinking. It was her first time seeing an Easterner, and she was instantly captivated by Zhou Quanbin.
If they compromise, there is no doubt that they will be questioned about their ability to represent the military.
But people like Tang Ning are finance ministers.
Finance ministers consider issues based on expenditure and return on investment.

But don't forget, in a struggle between sandpipers and clams, the sandpipers can only benefit when the strength of the sandpipers and clams is roughly equal.
- If a tiger and a deer fight, can the wolves on one side benefit?
Zheng Chenggong also cooperated well and did not investigate George Monk and others for their rudeness.
Because it wastes time.
After beating France, then turn around and have a "heart-to-heart" talk with George Monk and other so-called hawks, let him know the power of the Great Ming Iron Fist.
In this way, Zheng Chenggong's fleet for the western expedition was anchored by the Thames River.
