Chapter 52: Really loyal

Chapter 52: Really loyal

Wait until the two of them get up.

Emperor Qianlong asked, "The envoy comes from afar. I don't know if there is news about Zhu Daohua."

Macartney was also prepared for this.

Zhu Daohua caused trouble in Southeast Asia. As long as Emperor Qianlong was not a fool, he would want to know about the descendants of the Ming Dynasty and his biggest enemy.

"His Majesty the Great Emperor, Zhu Daohua arrived in Europe five years ago, and then his identity as a prince of the Ming Dynasty was confirmed by the Holy See. He subsequently published many medical works in Europe, which greatly promoted the development of medicine in our era. He may be the greatest medical expert of our era."

"From this point, Zhu Daohua is an extremely wise man. Such a wise and 25-year-old young man may also be your biggest opponent."

Macartney said, and the communication on the side interpreted his words in real time.

The voice of the news has just fallen.

A young voice rang out.

"Nonsense, our Qing Dynasty is rich in all over the world, with a vast land and a vast population of 100 million. Zhu Daohua is just a pirate in the South China Sea. What threat does it have to the Heavenly Dynasty?"

Of course.

The ex-factory price is fifteen taels of silver, including the freight cost, plus a little profit.

“Cooperate? How to cooperate?”

After Qianlong finished speaking, the seventeenth prince trembled and he no longer dared to speak.

Among the remaining sons, there are four people, namely the eighth son, the eleventh son, the fifteenth son and the seventeenth son.

"We can provide weapons and ordnance to the Qing Dynasty, help the Qing Dynasty train its troops, train its officers, and set up embassies to start trade."

However, this occasion is not the time to scold your son.

Although we must support the Qing Dynasty and resist the Ming Dynasty.

Boulbron said in a singular manner.

In the case of Zhu Daohua, the great enemy.

Upon hearing this, Bulbron shook his head and said, "Zhu Daohua has hired a large number of engineers and skilled workers in Europe. His factory in Batam can already provide weapons to his army and even export them."

It should be the fifteenth prince Aisin Gioro Yongyan and the seventeenth prince Aisin Gioro Yonglin.

Qianlong looked at the young man who spoke out in dissatisfaction.

This is the successor of the Qing Empire.

Do business?

"Stand and watch."

"So what is the purpose of the magistrate coming this time?"

Burbron took over the conversation and said, "Zhu Daohua's behavior in Nanyang has greatly damaged the world's trade order and international rules immediately, so we hope to cooperate with the Qing Empire to deal with Zhu Daohua together."

"If the Qing Dynasty wants to buy it, maybe I can find a way to buy it from Zhu Daohua."

Both of them know this.

"If the emperor is interested, I can entrust British merchants to buy from Zhu Daohua and then resell them to the Qing Empire. We can even avoid profits."

Qianlong's face changed slightly, but he did not answer this.

And he did not discuss possible cooperation between the two sides.

"No matter whether it is sold or not, he always has to deal with the inventory. No matter how powerful Zhu Daohua is, he cannot control buyers all over the world, right?" Macartney took over the conversation, "The ex-factory price of this kind of musket in Kolkata is about 17 taels of silver. If the shipping cost is calculated to the East, it will cost about 20 taels of silver."

“We can also offer various types of artillery inexpensively.”

but.

In his opinion.

This British and French chicken.

"Emperor, it's my son Meng Lang."

Qianlong thought about it when he heard this.

In other words, Emperor Jiaqing later looked like he was kind and respectful, and pulled the Seventeenth Prince back and patted his shoulder to encourage him.

The fifteenth prince beside him.

When the Seventeenth Prince heard Qianlong's voice, he knew that he had made Qianlong unhappy this time.

"Yonglin."

There were two people beside the young man, but there was no expression on his face.

Four of them died young.

Qianlong looked at Macartney: "Is Zhu Daohua so famous in the West?"

And the most likely.

therefore.

However, he was disappointed.

Macartney said.

Qianlong did not show any anxiety, but asked very plainly.

I just shook my head slightly, and didn't know whether to nod or shake my head.

Because the Eleventh Prince was born by Concubine Shu.

The fifteenth prince and the seventeenth prince were both born by Empress Xiaoyi.

But you still have to make money.

The Qing Dynasty implemented a secret crown system.

How can people know the trump card?

"Who made us friends?"

Boulbron added.

In theory, the four alive princes all have the possibility of inheriting the throne.

"Two messengers, I am quite interested in Western firearms. How much does such a musket cost in the West? If it is sold to the Qing Dynasty, how much does it cost?"

It can only be born from the Eleventh Prince, the Fifteenth Prince and the Seventh Prince.

Macartney smiled.

Eight other middle-aged people died of illness.

There was a bit of expectation in his eyes.

Emperor Qianlong would show some attitude of cooperating with Western countries in any case.

The young man known as Yonglin was the seventeenth son of Emperor Qianlong and his youngest son.

Qianlong and all the ministers saw the little moves of several princes in private.

therefore.

But in collusion.

Although the relationship is not very good.

"Will he sell weapons to the Qing Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, this is true, so if you don't pay attention to him, you may suffer a great loss. As far as I know, there are many sympathizers and supporters of the Ming Dynasty in southern China."

The two looked at each other, tacitly speaking.

According to the envoys of Britain and France.

Kneel down quickly.

In fact, if someone could eat up the inventory of the muskets in Zhu Daohua's hand on a large scale, Boss Zhu might sell it for five taels of silver.

This is the factory price he bought in Kolkata.

The eighth son of the emperor is over fifty years old and has been granted the title of Prince Yi, and there is no possibility of inheriting the throne.

It's quite tacit understanding.

I bought twenty taels, which was indeed a conscientious price.

He is the legitimate son.

There was no change in expression on Qianlong's face.

"Is Zhu Daohua's army also using this weapon now?"

Macartney and Bourbron looked at each other.

Qianlong had a total of seventeen sons.

Macartney took the musket and looked at it, and said, "His Majesty the Great Emperor, this is not a musket produced in the West, but a factory in Kolkata, India. If I guess correctly, this should be a weapon obtained from the Ming army."

Instead, someone got a musket.

"So if you are asking Zhu Daohua to buy the second-hand goods he has, maybe you can get it with 15 taels of silver!!"

Now the envoys from Britain and France have a channel to get second-hand goods from Zhu Daohua.

It is normal that second-hand goods are cheaper than new goods.

Fu Kangan is indeed a loyal minister.

Really loyal.
