Daming Crazy Emperor

After Duke Goodman returned to Madrid to pay his errands, he paced back and forth at home like ants on a hot pot.

He was hesitating whether to tell the Ming Empire the battle plan discussed by the European Continental Alliance.

If he informs, the Ming Empire will surely win.

Can the Continental League win if he doesn't snitch?

This problem is actually not complicated.

Although he is not capable, he still has a little knowledge.

It can be said that the European Continental League is doing its best at the moment. It has almost exhausted all the young men it can recruit, and almost all the things it can produce.

They even destroyed Poland and the United Kingdom of Lithuania for this reason, and launched a palace coup in the Persian Empire, frantically grabbing the war potential of these two countries for their use.

However, even so, so what?

Can the nearly 400 million troops on the Eastern Front defeat the Ming Empire?
They don't even have confidence in this.

The Kingdom of Bohemia, the Persian Empire, and even the Ottoman Empire and Tsarist Russia were all cannon fodder that attracted the troops of the Ming Empire.

They all think that these cannon fodder cannot defeat the Ming Empire.

In other words, there is no hope for the Eastern Front, and at most it will consume a little bit of troops from the Ming Empire.

What about the Western Front?
Don't think about it, at this moment Spain and the Holy Roman Empire can't beat the Kingdom of West Africa even if they join forces.

What's more, the Ming Empire also controlled two large areas, South America and North America, and the Indian tribes were not vegetarians. It would be no problem for South America and North America to each draw 100 million Malays.

That is to say, the Ming Empire could win the war on the Western Front without taking action personally.

The Duke of Richelieu let Britain go to North America to plunder. It is estimated that it was to hold back the North American Indian tribe.

As for the Kingdom of West Africa, the Duke of Richelieu needless to say, if they really want to join the war, they must fight Spain first.

In this way, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire became the pawns of Duke Richelieu to contain the Kingdom of West Africa.

Question, can they carry the West African Empire?

This is basically impossible. If the Duke of Richelieu did not mobilize the armies of France, Sweden, Denmark and other countries to support it, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire alone would most likely not be able to withstand the West African Empire.

This is nothing, what is even more terrifying is the war potential of the Ming Empire.

At this moment, the Ming Empire has not tried its best to recruit all the young and strong to fight with the European countries.

If they expand their army crazily, it is possible to pull out an army of 1000 million!
Therefore, in this world war, the Continental Union will undoubtedly lose, and the Ming Empire cannot lose.

Even if he doesn't inform, the Continental League won't be able to win!
Thinking of this, Duke Goodman suddenly stopped in his tracks.

At this time, there is no longer any hesitation.

If he followed these guys all the way to the dark, let alone the glory and wealth, his life might be gone.

If he completely falls for the Ming Empire, riches, wealth, beautiful women, he will simply enjoy it endlessly!
For extremely greedy people, is this still a choice?

He gritted his teeth, and said loudly to the outside: "Come on, find Tovar."...

Tovar is the young Duke of Goodman. He can't go to Lisbon at this time, so he has to let his son find a way to get in touch with the Ming Empire.

Little Duke Goodman was busy at the moment.

Because Daming Qianzhuang and Daming Western Firms completely withdrew from the European countries, the business of the Spanish European Trading Company skyrocketed several times in an instant.

He, a useless idler, was hired by Desilau to help dispatch the goods.

Of course, no matter how busy he was, he still didn't dare to neglect the old Duke Goodman's recruitment.

Not long after, he hurried back and said respectfully, "Father, what can I do for you?"

Old Duke Goodman nodded slightly, then raised his hand and said, "Close the door."

What is so mysterious.

Although the little Duke Goodman didn't know what was going on, he closed the door obediently.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the old Duke Goodman got up and walked to the bedroom inside.

What exactly happened here?
The little Duke Goodman could only follow in with a dazed face.

The old Duke Goodman pulled him to sit down beside the small table in the corner with a serious face, and then asked softly: "Tovar, you should know that the European Union is about to go to war with the Ming Empire."

Of course the little Duke Goodman knew.

He nodded again and again, "I've seen this in the newspaper."

The old Duke Goodman said again solemnly: "There is one more thing, you should be very clear about it, this Spanish Continental Trading Company is actually run by the Ming Empire."

Uh, this.

The young Duke Goodman was quite confused: "Father, what do you mean, I should quickly quit the Spanish Continental Trading Company and get rid of them?"

what are you thinking?

The old Duke Goodman shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, I'm not asking you to disassociate yourself from them, I just want you to test it out and see if they can contact the Governor of the Ming Empire in Lisbon.

If you can, please ask them to send a letter for the governor of the Ming Empire in Lisbon to send his cronies over as soon as possible. I have something very important to tell them.

I'm very busy now, I can't get away at all, so I can only ask them to send someone over. "

what?
After a long time, this old man is actually closer to the Ming Empire than he is!

Little Duke Goodman was stunned for a moment, and then he said happily: "Father, what do you mean, we take refuge in the Ming Empire?"

You kid has a very loose mouth, after a few glasses of wine, you can blow anything out.

I can't tell you about that.

The old Duke Goodman straightened his face and said seriously: "Why are you asking so many questions, hurry up and try it out."

Little Duke Goodman was so frightened that he stood up quickly and was about to go out.

The old Duke Goodman was still a little worried, so he pulled him and told him carefully: "Remember, be careful, don't be reckless, let others see it."

Little Duke Goodman nodded slowly when he heard the words, thought about it carefully, and then walked out slowly.

This kid finally understands something.

Seeing this, the old Duke Goodman nodded in relief.

Now the little Duke Goodman is indeed much more sensible, because he often deals with people like Desilau. …

The so-called "close to vermilion is red, close to ink is black", he can always learn something after staying with smart people for a long time.

In the past few days, he happened to be helping Desilao at the headquarters of the Spanish Continental Trading Company, so he didn't have to look for him at all, he could just run back and meet him.

Desilau saw the little Duke Goodman running over shortly after he returned home, and asked curiously: "Didn't the old Duke look for you, why did you come back so soon?
If you have something to do at home, go and do it. Don't delay the old Duke's important business because of our little business. "

The reason why he asked the little Duke Goodman to help him was also to cooperate with Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen to win over Duke Goodman's family.

Otherwise, how could he let such an idle dude help him.

Unexpectedly, the little Duke Goodman said seriously: "Why don't we find a place to talk, I have something very important to discuss with you."

Oh, this kid is getting serious.

Fine.

Desilao got up without hesitation, and led him to the backyard.

The two came to a separate room in the backyard, and after closing the door and sitting down, the little Duke Goodman asked mysteriously: "Tell me the truth, are you sent by the Ming Empire?"

Uh, can you say this?
Desilao asked carefully: "Who told you?"

The little Duke Goodman said without hesitation: "My father just told me, tell me, are you sent by the Ming Empire?"

It was Duke Goodman who said it.

Desilau hesitated for a moment, but nodded slowly and said, "I can be regarded as sent by the Ming Empire."

He was not afraid that this kid would reveal his identity, because it was Duke Goodman who said it.

Duke Goodman has a lot of things that Zhang Zhiji and Xu Yunzhen have grasped.

This family has been inseparable from Daming, and they are looking for death if they expose themselves.

He believed that Duke Goodman would not let this kid mess around.

However, the reaction of the little Duke Goodman was a bit beyond his expectations.

The kid actually said excitedly: "Really, that's great."

Uh, what's up?

Desilao said somewhat inexplicably: "Your Highness, you have something very important to discuss with me, don't you? What's the matter?"

The little Duke Goodman said excitedly: "You are sent by the Ming Empire, so can you contact the Governor of Lisbon of the Ming Empire?"

Of course it can.

Desilao nodded slowly and said, "It's not a big problem. What important things do you want to discuss with me?"

Only then did the little Duke of Goodman confess his words: "It's not that I have any important matters to discuss with you, it's that my father has very important matters to tell the Governor of Lisbon of the Ming Empire.

Can you send someone to Lisbon as soon as possible, and ask the governor over there to send a cronies over there?

My father said he was too busy to go to Lisbon at all. "

That's what happened.

Duke Goodman said something very important, it is definitely very important, because he is the prime minister of Spain.

Question, it seems useless to tell the governor of Lisbon, Qi Panzong, about these things. Qi Panzong is the general who is responsible for guarding the Lisbon Lease and the Azores, and he is not responsible for other things.

Besides, it is more than 1000 or [-] miles from here to Lisbon, even if it is a fast horse and whipping, it will take about ten days to go back and forth.

If it's something really important, it can't be delayed.

Thinking of this, Desilao simply said: "Why don't I call someone over there, and it's the same if you tell him something important about your father."

Can this work?
The little Duke Goodman was quite skeptical: "The person you are looking for can replace the cronies of the Governor of Lisbon of the Ming Empire?"

The governor of Lisbon doesn't care about these things, the person I'm looking for is sent by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to collect information!

Of course, you can't talk nonsense to this kid.

Desilao nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely work."

Well, we will know if we can take it home and try it out.

This can only be left to his father to judge.

If not, his father would certainly not have said anything to them.

Anyway, it's not far from his home, so it won't take much time.

The little Duke Goodman thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, you call someone over, and I'll take them back to have a look."

Hearing this, Desilao quickly got up and went outside to find Wang Chong.

Once the two of them got together, Wang Chong ordered someone to find a horse-drawn flatbed cart, loaded it with a few freshly killed cattle and sheep, and then drove the flatbed cart to the Duke's mansion with the carriage of the little Duke Goodman. go.
