The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2210 Gift of Firearms

Even in the city of the pope, his eyes narrowed slightly when he heard these words.

This is definitely not good news for him.

Tie Muer's group surrendered to Zhao Dongting, which meant that they already belonged to the Song Dynasty.If the Holy See sends people to rob again, it is tantamount to making an enemy of Da Song.

Things were going to become much more complicated, and even he felt extremely embarrassed.

The method of forging firearms has been on his mind for a long time, but he doesn't have the confidence to be an enemy of Da Song.

"Ha ha."

In order to hide himself, the Pope laughed a few times, but a crazy idea popped up in his heart.

He wondered if he could keep all the people from Zhao Dongting and Da Song in the west. As long as they were all locked in the west, not only would he be able to get the method of forging firearms, but at the same time, Da Song would be able to avoid using weapons.

After all, Zhao Dongting was the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

For a country like Song Dynasty, what is more important than the emperor?

With Zhao Dongting's prestige in the Song Dynasty, do those Song troops still dare to attack the west by force?
But he still didn't dare to do it lightly.

After a little silence, he first smiled at Zhao Dongting and said, "Then congratulations to Emperor Song."

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "The Pope is polite."

The Pope showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "Emperor Song wants to borrow, and I agree, after all, I am very happy to make friends with Da Song. I just don't know..."

He deliberately hesitated to speak.

Zhao Dongting knew what he was thinking, and asked with a smile, "The Pope might as well speak up if he has something to say."

The Pope nodded and said: "I think Emperor Song already knew about the situation in our west. After all these years of wars, our west can be said to be desolate. Sigh... this is all because of the lack of strength of our Holy See, if not , there will not be so many people who dare to oppose our Holy See, and the common people will not lose their homes because of this. I want to implore Emperor Song to teach us your eastern firearm forging method."

He didn't give Zhao Dongting a chance to intervene, "As long as Emperor Song can agree to this condition, I will definitely agree to whatever the Emperor Song needs our help to do, or to pay anything."

"This……"

Zhao Dongting looked deeply at the Pope, "This method of forging firearms is the foundation of our Great Song Dynasty. The Pope is embarrassing me."

"I know I'm asking too much."

As the aged pope spoke, he stood up and gave a salute to Zhao Dongting, "But please ask Emperor Song to show mercy to our people in the west. I guarantee that the Holy See will have good relations with Song Dynasty in the next hundred years."

Zhao Dongting sneered in his heart.

Whether or not countries have good relations with each other has never been something that can be achieved verbally.The situation depends on strength.

He can be sure that as long as the strength of the West surpasses Song Dynasty in the future, the Pope will never have the same attitude as he does now.

The forging method of firearms must not be handed over.

On the way here, he had already anticipated that the Pope might propose such a condition, and he had already figured out a countermeasure in his mind.

He deliberately pretended to be pondering for a while, and then said: "No, since the Holy See has become an ally with Song Dynasty, I don't want to see the people in the West suffer. Pope, if you want to maintain the absolute position of the Holy See in the West, I can give you support." I still have a lot of firearms in my treasury, and I can't give you the forging method, but if you want the Pope, I can give you some of these firearms as a gift, how about it?"

The pope froze.

He didn't expect Zhao Dongting to say such a thing.

It became clear at once, probably because the Emperor Song expected that the West would not be able to develop the forging method of firearms, right?

That's right, the Holy See actually obtained the Shenlong gun and even the grenadier a long time ago, but after all these years, they have never been able to forge them independently.

But he was still moved.

After all, the two great empires of Violet and Byzantium are a threat to the rule of the Holy See, and as long as the Holy See army can be equipped with firearms, this threat can be eliminated.

This can at least guarantee a period of peace in the future.

As for whether a forging method can be developed, it depends on luck.

Moreover, the only country in the world that can crush the West is the Song Dynasty. The pope still has no idea of ​​​​making an enemy of the Song Dynasty in his heart.

He was getting old, and he only hoped that during his tenure, the Holy See's dominance in the West could be stabilized.

He said: "I wonder how many firearms Emperor Song can give us as a gift?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Now all the firearms in the national treasury can be given to you as gifts."

The pope asked again: "Then what?"

Zhao Dongting smiled without saying a word.

He can't always provide firearms to the Holy See.

If you want a firearm, okay, you have to get something in exchange.One yard for one yard, he just proposed this, but it was just to repay the Pope for the reward.

The Pope is also a human being, so of course he understood Zhao Dongting's meaning, smiled coyly, and said, "I made things difficult for Emperor Song. If I still need firearms in the future, my Holy See will naturally exchange them with the same thing."

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly with a smile, and said, "I hope the friendship between the Holy See and our Song Dynasty will last forever."
