At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 243 Shock from Europeans
"The reason for supporting the Tatars is that the unified Ming Dynasty is not a good thing for the interests of Spain and even Europe in the Far East. You must know that in the Far East, the status of the Ming Dynasty is the same as that of the Roman Empire, and it has a very strong appeal in many countries in East Asia. , among which the Ming Emperor is more similar to the Pope of Rome and is the leader of civilization here, it is best for them to continue to decline."

De Velasco replied to the person who asked the question, "Since the discovery of the New World, the major battles in Europe have basically ended. Our Spanish King Philip IV has focused part of his attention on the huge benefits brought by the discovery of silver mines in America. In New Amsterdam, the emergence of the Invincible Fleet provided colonial force protection and made New Spain in America extremely wealthy. However, the silver mines discovered in the Inca Empire were also limited. If the Ming Dynasty was unified, the huge population pressure would This makes it possible for this country to go global, and then these East Asians are likely to rob us of our interests in the Americas."

"Your Excellency, de Velasco, what you said makes sense. Therefore, it is better for the current Ming Dynasty to remain divided. We cannot imagine what kind of losses our interests will suffer if such a huge empire flocks to the Americas."

Mardimo, a Portuguese in the team, also nodded, "Moreover, the raw silk and tea sets from Suzhou in the south of the Ming Empire are also very valuable goods to us in Europe. This is enough to show that this country is economically prosperous and military. We Europeans should be happy to see that these Ming armies are still as rotten as before and don't know how to adapt. When the war is over, maybe we can send people to the top brass of the Ming Empire to sell some of the firearms we have eliminated. Then maybe It will be a good deal, enough for us to make a lot of money.”

De Velasco also looked at the battlefield intently, "Yes, this is really a good idea. There are actually soldiers wearing heavy armor in the Ming Dynasty army. The armor should weigh dozens of kilograms, and even more Not to mention holding a bow and arrow that also looks very heavy."

"However, these Ming people are so physically strong that they can still run while wearing such heavy armor. Their bows and arrows are also very powerful. They can shoot to death Korean Tatar soldiers who stand on the city wall from hundreds of meters away! "

Seeing this, De Velasco couldn't help but marveled, "When I was in Suzhou City, I saw some boxing gyms. There were some martial arts masters who claimed to know martial arts. They called this Kung Fu. Could it be that this is the Kung Fu of the Ming Dynasty? Or is it? These people from the Ming Dynasty know so-called kung fu, otherwise why would the people from the Ming Dynasty seem to be so physically strong!"

"Great Ming Kung Fu?!"

As soon as De Velasco finished speaking, the people in the team were stunned when they heard the words, and they all looked at the battlefield carefully.

There were also Spaniards who discovered how powerful the Ming soldiers were and immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God, my Lord, I can't believe this is true. They wore armor weighing dozens of kilograms and could outrun horses." It’s fast!”

"this is too scary!"

"This is like a heavy-armored knight from the Middle Ages!"

These people saw that the Ming people, who had been ridiculed by them and others for being backward, were actually wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms and their feet were as strong as flying. It can't be penetrated or penetrated at all.

And then some people saw a scene they would never forget.

"Oh, it's impossible. There seems to be someone over there in Ming Dynasty who can catch lead bullets with his bare hands! How is this possible!"

On the battlefield in Seoul, Ming soldiers with innate level of cultivation caught the lead bullets fired by Korean soldiers at close range, and even used concealed weapon techniques to sweep them back, shooting down a few unlucky guys.This scene shocked the jaws of these Spaniards, and they felt that their views had been refreshed.

"It turns out to be true. The muskets are useless. How come no one was killed? Do these Ming people have the same power as angels? Or is this the power of gods?"

"I was at the Busan Pier when I heard that a prince had appeared in the Ming Empire. A prince is a prince who has the right to inherit the throne. In just one month, this prince organized the forces to turn this decadent Ming Empire from refugee uprisings and Tatar rebellions. Li pulled out, could this be the reason why this decayed empire has re-emerged with its second youth? Does every Ming Dynasty person have agility and swiftness that is different from us Spaniards? "

"Oh, my God, damn it, it must not be like this. Don't believe those lies. We Spaniards are the sons of God. We cannot defeat Ming Dynasty because these Tatars are weaklings who can't use guns!"

"..."

There was a commotion in the spectator camp, and everyone panicked. Unexpectedly, I and others who had just been discussing the theory of the decline of the Ming Dynasty saw that this ancient and decaying empire actually displayed such terrifying force, such naked violence. It makes these Westerners feel creepy.

De Velasco only felt a tremor at this moment. All he felt at this time was a sense of crisis coming from his soul. Looking at the thousands of innate masters swarming on the battlefield, he only had one thought in his mind: What if When these Ming people enter the Americas, it will definitely be a disaster for Spain and even Europe as a whole in the New World.

There are also some Portuguese people watching the battle in the Spanish camp. Portugal is different from Europe in the East. They and Spain are not enemies in the East but allies. The European powers have different overseas colonies and local military and foreign policies. Overseas colonial authorities are highly autonomical.

"The country of Ming Dynasty is really not that simple!"

"Everything here is indeed full of mysterious power!"

The Portuguese Mardimo, a nobleman loyal to John IV, couldn't help but rub his eyes and felt a little unbelievable. He came to Seoul from Macau just to muddy the waters in the Far East and to make the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars The human war continues, and he makes a fortune from it. This time, he also has a share of the forty red cannons.

But this group of Ming people seemed to be in a bad situation without the equipment. Those weapons and equipment that had been eliminated by Europe long ago and were considered to be extremely behind the times turned out to be magic weapons in the hands of these Ming people. Some people actually did it. Cold weapons resist hot weapons.

The Portuguese had a slightly better attitude towards the Ming Dynasty. These Portuguese also had a city in Macau. They were the first Westerners to come into contact with the East. The Portuguese wrote a large number of documents about the Ming Dynasty and spread them in Europe, especially When the major European principalities and empires fought naval and land battles, European circles would also regard the Portuguese and Marco Polo's travel notes to the East as topics of conversation.
