The moist river wind whistled across the water and hit the walls of Jinling City.

Ye Qingyun said lazily: “Can a missionary scare us? Does King Chu underestimate us too much?”

“I’m afraid King Chu’s original intention is not like this. Don’t forget where our firearms come from. Maybe he wants to tell us that they can also make firearms now?”

Ye Qingyun frowned when he heard this, “His Royal Highness once said that he learned the skills from a missionary. Could it be that the King of Chu also found such a person? “

This is what I’m worried about too.” Fiji said worriedly. He didn’t know that the missionary mentioned by Xiao Ming was just an excuse.

At this time, on the battleship under Jinling City, the missionary with blond hair and blue eyes was looking at Fiji and Ye Qingyun at the top of Jinling City with a telescope, and then he turned his attention to the soldiers on the wall.

After confirming that the soldiers on the city wall were carrying flintlock guns with bayonets, he put down his binoculars.

“It’s really surprising that these soldiers actually hold flintlock rifles.” The missionary exclaimed.

Standing next to the missionary was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes. He said to the missionary: “Mr. Richard, do you believe it now?”

“Yes, now I believe it.” The missionary known as Richard solemnly Di said that after the King of Chu’s army arrived near Guangzhou, he contacted the generals of the Chu army and led them into contact with the French.

Richard came to Dayu to preach very early and lived in Guangzhou for fifteen years. During this period, he learned the language of Dayu and also observed the country. That’s why he was so surprised that there was such a thing in Dayu. An advanced firearm.

After putting away the telescope, Richard entered the cabin. In the cabin was a middle-aged man with black hair and blue eyes wearing a blue tuxedo. The man had a beard on both sides of his mouth.

“Brazil, they didn’t lie. An extraordinary vassal king did appear in the north of this country. He was able to make flintlock guns and cast-iron cannons.” Richard said.

Brazil came from the French Expeditionary Force. This time he was ordered to come to Chu in order to cooperate with the King of Chu. After a brief contact, the King of Chu readily did business with France, provided that France sent officers to train their generals, and Provide them with weapons.

In fact, after occupying Annan, France was unable to fight the huge Yu State on its own. Now they hoped to gain trade rights without going to war.

Of course, they could take advantage of the opportunity to sell large amounts of arms, which was more in line with their wishes. In this way, they could not only make a fortune in Europe by selling goods from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, but also sell firearms to the vassal kings of the Great Chongqing Kingdom at high prices.

“It’s unbelievable. The Dutch said they were trading with a powerful vassal in the Great Yu Kingdom. I didn’t expect it to be true. In this case, we French people can’t lag behind. Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Great Yu, it’s us. When defining the sphere of influence,” Brazil said.

On the way, Richard had told him the current situation of the Great Yu Kingdom. To him, a divided Great Yu Kingdom was exactly what they needed.

“The Dutch are very smart. This King of Chu’s army is too backward and his industry is in a mess. It is not easy to support him.” Richard said.

Brazil frowned, “But this King of Chu is our best choice now. His territory is in the south and can be connected to the Annan Kingdom. Goods can also be transported from Annan to our country via land. Moreover, this King of Qi It seems that he is ambitious and may be our enemy in the future. “

The Dutch also said the same. They are full of worries about this King of Qi. Whether it is occupying Ryukyu or garrisoning in Relanja City, this King of Qi is very strong. Claire was forced to cooperate with him. It is said that Claire has sent people to pass the news here back to the Dutch Parliament, and the parliament will finally decide whether to continue to cooperate with the King of Qi.”

Brazil nodded, “Claire is not yet. Too stupid. He should understand that the emergence of a powerful regime in East Asia is very detrimental to us Europeans. Da Yu is a large country with a large population. The unification of this King of Qi will be a disaster for us, and future trade will be He has the final say.”

“You are absolutely right.” Richard said with a smile, “Maybe we should cooperate with the British. After all, we have common interests with the Europeans.”

“We don’t need it yet. Another piece of cake needs to be divided.” Brazil shook his head.

The two were communicating, but other people on the boat couldn’t understand at all because they all spoke their own mother tongue. After the exchange, the middle-aged man in charge of the matter said, “Lieutenant Brazil said he would help you.” The King of Chu will train the army, and will also contact merchants to provide weapons for your King of Chu.”

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Great, please follow me to Suzhou City, where I will hold a grand ceremony. We are here to entertain you.”

Ye Qingyun and Feiji witnessed the appearance and disappearance of King Chu’s warships on the city wall. Feiji said: “What on earth is King Chu thinking? I will talk to His Highness about this this time.

” Ye Qingyun sighed and said: “Mr. Fei Ge, the safety of Jinling City is of great importance. The general will not be able to go back to attend His Highness’s coronation ceremony. I hope that Mr. Fei Ge can say a few kind words for the general in front of His Highness.”

” General Ye is working hard, I can see it, don’t worry.” After that, Fiji descended the city wall.

The news from Qingzhou told him to return as soon as possible. After packing up, he set off for Qingzhou. At the same time, he was accompanied by representatives of the wealthy families of Jinling City.

When they passed through other states and counties along the way, some wealthy families joined them. When they arrived in Qingzhou ten days later, the Fijian team had turned into a huge team composed of thousands of people.

The arrival of so many wealthy families in the city naturally quickly attracted the attention of the Qingzhou government office.

Pang Yukun was relieved to learn that Fiji was back. He was not as good as Fiji in this regard. The specific arrangements for his enthronement had to be handled by Fiji.

After the two met, they immediately went to the palace, where they tried on Xiao Ming in the dragon robe.

“Your Highness’s dragon robe is really elegant and elegant, especially the nine golden dragons on it that seem to be flying out of the sky.” When he first saw Xiao Ming dressed like this, Fiji was startled and flattered him.

Pang Yukun smiled with a sense of accomplishment in his eyes. In the past, he just had the mentality of being rich and contented, but now his mood has completely changed.

Xiao Ming smiled when he heard this. The dragon robe had just been delivered, and he said: “Mr. Fei Ge, your flattery is too cliché, but you ran to the palace just after you came back. You must have other things.”
