Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 153 Du Ziping, Envoy of the Chen Dynasty
Panyu Prefecture, inside the Daming International Hotel.

As the facade of Panyu Mansion, it is also the only five-star hotel in Panyu Mansion at present, and it has naturally become Zhu Yu's place to receive foreign guests.

At this time, Du Ziping, the chief envoy of the Chen Dynasty, was staying in the hotel.

Originally, as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, the funds must be sufficient.

This time, Du Ziping also brought a lot of gold.

The purpose was to bribe some officials of the Ming Dynasty.

But when he arrived at Panyu Mansion, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Then I couldn't help cursing secretly!
Zhi Penge is really not human!

He still didn't know what kind of existence he had provoked.

Look at how prosperous Fanyu Mansion is.

There are tall buildings everywhere.

Moreover, some officials from Panyu Prefecture, on Zhu Xi's orders, specially took him to watch a test firing of artillery shells.

After reading it, Du Ziping only had one thought in his mind...

Such a Ming Dynasty must not be provoked!
Because, you can't afford it at all.

They are too powerful.

Such artillery is simply unseen and unheard of!

So Du Ziping quickly started activities.

However, for two or three days in a row, he became discouraged.

All the gold he gave away was returned by those officials.

I dare not ask for it!
He even made it clear that if Du Ziping gave them gold again, they would report it to His Highness King Qin!
This is a warning.

Why is this so?
Then Du Ziping understood.

It turns out that these officials in Panyu Prefecture all came from wealthy and powerful families.

The gold that he gave away was worth nothing in the eyes of these officials.

And this is because those officials have a conscience.

Why do you say this way?
In fact, they could just collect the gold and hand it over to Zhu Xi instead of helping Du Ziping.

But because Zhu Ping paid too much attention to the character of these people when selecting officials in the capital, and Zhu Ping wanted to make the Chen dynasty pay for the mistakes made by Zhi Peng'e.

These officials felt that the Chen dynasty was also helpless.

Not only did I have to take the blame for others and come to admit my mistakes, but I also received such treatment...

Therefore, none of these people wanted the money sent by Du Ziping.

Fortunately, I gave him some advice.

This made Du Ziping so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger.

But that's it, Du Ziping's daily expenses in Panyu Mansion are also an astonishing figure.

For example, room charges.

He himself, plus the accompanying personnel, totaled 40 to [-] people.

Although the people below all live in standard rooms, the daily room fee exceeds 100 taels of silver.

Originally, the money should have been on the Qin Prince's account and exempted from bills.

But who made King Qin very angry?

He did not recognize the mission of the Chen Dynasty at all.

"Chen's dynasty? What is it! Can any cat or dog be called a dynasty now?"

Listen, these are Zhu Xi’s exact words.

Is it human language?After all, Chen Rixuan was also a dignified emperor of South Vietnam.

At least, he's always human, right?
Where are the cats and dogs?

But helpless.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Du Ziping didn't dare to offend, so he had to pay out of his own pocket.

Do you think this is over?
100 taels per day is just the room fee!
You are in Panyu Mansion, you have to live, right?
Good guy!
The consumption here is really high!

Du Ziping heard that in Panyu Prefecture, even a beggar earns no less than 30 taels a month.

If you don't have 30 taels of silver a month, then you can't even meet the minimum standard of living in Panyu Prefecture.

If you want to eat and drink well, for example, a meal at Daming International Hotel will cost you more than 100 taels.

After all, only the rich can afford it here.

Du Ziping was numb.

He brought 3000 taels of gold and came to the Ming Dynasty.

But if this continues, it is estimated that it can last for a month.

The key is the attitude of King Qin.

It made him very angry.

Zhu Xi, the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, did not take him or the Chen dynasty seriously at all.

Moreover, it is said that Zhu Yu also plans to increase troops to the Guangnan area.

As an envoy, Du Ziping couldn't find any news.

For example, he now knows that the King of Qin in the Ming Dynasty actually had a very long battle line.

And it's big.

In the south, there are more than 10,000 people in the three armies, plus the civilian workers transporting supplies, there are at least [-]+ people, and they are attacking Srivijaya in Nanyang.

At the same time, King Qin sent more troops to Zhenxi Grand Canal, planning to do things in the west as well.

And now, King Qin also plans to use troops against the Chen Dynasty at the same time!
Although the King of Qin has only sent a total of [-] troops to Guangnan and Guangxi areas, which is obviously insufficient, Du Ziping has seen the prosperity of Panyu Prefecture and also knows the industrial power of the Lingnan region in the Ming Dynasty.

With the strength of King Qin, he can recruit tens of thousands of troops at any time!
Even the King of Qin was already recruiting troops.

Moreover, King Qin also said that the South Vietnam region is in the tropics, and troops can be used even in December.

He is recruiting troops now and training for half a year. After half a year, the army will be able to march to South Vietnam and completely defeat the Chen Dynasty!
This is no joke.

Du Ziping was very anxious.

It was at this time that Du Ziping heard a piece of news in the newspaper and on the big screen news in the square.

It turns out that the reason why Qin King Zhu Xi temporarily put it aside and did not deal with the affairs of the Chen Dynasty was because he, the King of Qin, was getting married.

Moreover, because of this wedding, King Qin also specially built a railway that could go directly from Panyu Mansion to Jinling Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. The entire journey... is almost equivalent to going from Hengshan Pass in the north of South Vietnam to the coastal zone in the south.

But such a long distance can be covered by a train in one day and one night.

Du Ziping was overjoyed, and quickly said to his subordinates: "Hurry up, try everything possible, we must buy a ticket to Jinling Mansion, then we will get on the bus with His Highness King Qin, if we have a chance to see His Highness King Qin, we will Ask him in person to become a vassal! If that doesn't work, think of other ways. It's best if King Qin can agree to our request, otherwise... we'll both be destroyed!"

"Sir, this is the Ming Dynasty. It's impossible to destroy both the jade and the stone. I heard that on the trains of the Ming Dynasty, no one is allowed to carry weapons except for the personal guards of His Highness King Qin!" The subordinate immediately spoke and persuaded. Du Ziping, don't be stupid.

"Even if we can carry weapons, can our swords beat their muskets?"

There are people who are more clear-headed.

Being reminded by his subordinates, Du Ziping came to his senses and said: "Then we will go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and plead with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! As long as we shed tears, I believe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not be like the King of Qin. So unreasonable!"

Anyway, Du Ziping had made up his mind to go to Jinling Mansion.
