Chapter 598 Nico
"Oh? Do you have everything?"

"The variety is very complete. Except for some rare items that are slightly smaller in quantity, the overall difference is not big."

"That's good. You pick some and share it with the soldiers on the ship."

"Okay." Jie Xuelong nodded. "By the way, Your Majesty, the King of Spain sent some gifts to Your Majesty."

"Gift? What gift? Where is it?"

Zhu Youjian's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

"On the boat, I'll send someone to bring it down for His Majesty to have a look at?"

"Let's go and have a look."

The two of them took a walk together and arrived at the pier. The people they had just sent had already brought the gifts from the ship.

"Look, Your Majesty!"

Xie Xuelong pointed in the direction of the pier and said.

Zhu Youjian looked in the direction of his finger, was stunned for a moment, and then blinked.

What the hell!

Nico!

Is this a gift from the Spanish?

I do what you do!

Zhu Youjian cursed crazily in his heart, and then walked forward quickly.

"Xie Qing, these black guys are gifts from the King of Spain?"

"Black guys?" Jie Xuelong was stunned. Knowing that he was talking about the black people he brought back, he explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, although these guys look black, they are all tall and strong, and they are slaves. , all of them are good at doing coolies. The King of Spain sent a total of 100 people to His Majesty, all of them carefully selected and very strong. "

"castrated."

"Huh?" Jie Xuelong doubted his ears.

"Eunuchs! Daming doesn't need these lowly nigger slaves! Eunuch them all, and leave them at the pier to carry bags, and they are not allowed to enter Beijing!"

Before he even got closer, Zhu Youjian saw these dark guys clearly and stopped.

There are traces of black people in the southern coastal areas, but not many, and most of them work as slaves for wealthy families.

As for the North, there were very few black people.

At this time, looking at the black people standing in rows, Zhu Youjian felt a sense of dislocation in time and space, thinking of some bad things in later generations, and frowned in disgust.

Jie Xuelong didn't know why Zhu Youjian hated these black people so much, but he still planned to obey orders.

"Qing Xie, you went all the way to Spain, and their king didn't give you anything?" Zhu Youjian asked casually as he walked back.

"To be fair to Your Majesty, I gave it away too."

"What did I get you?"

"Send a few women away." Xie Xuelong's voice was so low that Zhu Youjian couldn't hear what he said clearly at the first time.

"What did you give me? Please speak louder!"

"Sent four women."

"Woman? Spanish woman?" Zhu Youjian asked in surprise.

"Yes, it is."

"Does it look good?"

"good."

"Okay!? That means it's pretty good, right? Xie Qing."

"His Majesty."

"These Spanish women, can you detect their depth?"

"It is said that they are all innocent women. There should be no problem. I have given them to the unmarried soldiers in the fleet. As long as they are careful, there should be no major problems."

"Oh? Don't you plan to keep her as your concubine?"

"Your Majesty was joking. With my body, I might as well forget it."

You do have self-knowledge.

Zhu Youjian looked him up and down and thought.

Xie Xuelong and his soldiers followed Zhu Youjian back to the capital. Along with them, there were carriages after carriages of Spanish novelty goods.

Under Zhu Youjian's deliberate urging, they were warmly welcomed by the people of the capital.It made them feel extremely glorious after being away from home for a long time.

They will receive commendations from the Ministry of War tomorrow and distribute the silver rewarded by Zhu Youjian.Afterwards, there will be a month-long vacation for them to return to their homes and reunite with their families.

This time Jie Xuelong went to Spain, which completely opened the barrier between the Ming Dynasty and the West.

In the past, although Global Commerce also sent ships there to do business, there were too many uncertain factors and the journey was difficult and dangerous.

But this situation will undergo qualitative changes with the signing of the treaty between the two parties.

The Ming Dynasty could dispatch armies of troops to station in Spain's overseas colonies to ensure the smooth supply of the Ming Dynasty's caravans and their personal safety.

Although the range of activities of these armies was limited, and although they could not interfere with Spain's rule in the colonies, they ultimately provided great convenience for Ming's maritime trade.

In this way, merchants from the Ming Dynasty no longer have to worry about anything when they go to the West.

At the moment, the effect is not very obvious, but over time, the convenience brought by this treaty will be highlighted.

In the next few days, Jie Xuelong was summoned by Zhu Youjian many times.

Zhu Youjian told him everything about his plans and assumptions about the overseas sphere of influence, which surprised Jie Xuelong and at the same time he was very impressed by his majesty's foresight.

The days passed in calm until February 25.

Shocked.

The spring thunder begins to roar and the weather gets warmer.

Zhu Youjian issued orders one after another.

Soldiers and horses from Liaodong, Jiubian, Horqin, and Tumote were dispatched from several directions at the same time. The target was to insert Han!

This time, Zhu Youjian will completely eat up Han and take Monan Mongolia into his pocket.

Now, everything is ready, not even the east wind is owed.

Zhu Kezhen was in Shenyang when she received the order.

The weather outside the pass is still much colder than inside the pass, but the conditions for marching and fighting are initially met.

At this time, there were only [-] to [-] troops in Shenyang, and most of the rest were stationed in various places.

In the Northeast, even half of the year is winter, so their outward expansion is very slow.As for the [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, they were called back in advance after knowing Zhu Youjian's action in advance.

Where there is Zhu Kezhen, Wang Laipin and Xu Yanqi are indispensable.

The Iron Triangle used to operate separately, each leading its own troops.This time there was a major military operation, so they gathered together again.

"Lao Zhu, this time His Majesty has finally made up his mind to eliminate the traitor. I have long disliked the tiger and the rabbit."

Zhu Kezhen called the two of them together and told them His Majesty's order. As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Laipin started chattering.

"What? Did the tiger crouching and the rabbit catch your eye?" Xu Yanqi took a sip of tea and glanced at Wang Laipin.

"Hey, I said, Lao Xu, can you speak? What do you mean, you are in my eyes? Isn't the tiger and rabbit still a good thing? Have you accepted his money? Have you been corrupted by his sugar-coated bullets? Have you? Your Majesty’s teachings are still fresh in your mind, have you forgotten them? Old Xu! I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person! I really misjudged you! You and I, brothers, will sever all ties after drinking this cup of tea. From now on. From now on, you go to your Yichun Courtyard, and I go to my Zuihua Building, and neither of us will take the top spot from the other."

"To shut up!"

Seeing that Wang Laipin was getting more and more outrageous, Zhu Kezhen couldn't help but stop him.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and he is getting better and better at talking nonsense.

 There was no desk to take care of my son in the hospital, and it was inconvenient to put my laptop on my lap.Just one chapter today, sorry.
