One Emperor through the Ages: Starting from Infinite Copying

Chapter 254

Zheng Chong took the seal letter of the king of the Annan Kingdom and clenched his fists.

"The king can rest assured, the end will not fail in his mission!"

With the messenger's scepter in hand, Zheng Chong strode alone towards Zhennan Pass.

"Zheng Chong, envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom, ask to see His Majesty the Emperor Daming!"

Chongzhen, who was on the city wall, holding a telescope to observe the movement of the soldiers and horses of the Annan Kingdom, was buzzing.

"What?"

"Great Yue Kingdom?"

"Fuck, I really treat myself like a green onion!"

"Your Majesty, what now?"

"Let him roll up!"

After a while, Zheng Chong, the envoy of the Annan Kingdom, came to the ~ Zhennan Pass City Wall.

Looking at the armor of the Ming army generals in front of him, as well as the weapons, Zheng Chong quickly couldn't move.

Chongzhen looked at Zheng Chong and said with a smile: "I don't know what happened to the envoy of the small country of Annan, who came to Zhennanguan?" "

"Pray to His Majesty the Daming Emperor, the little one came to discuss the withdrawal of troops with Daming at the will of the king!"

"Retirement? How? You guys want to leave when you come? Really be a playground, come if you want, go if you want? "

Zheng Chong's forehead was covered with sweat, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

Suddenly, he moved: "I guess you don't want to fight either!" "

"Three months of food and grass consumed, we are still good! You Daming have to be transported to Zhennan Pass from a long distance, and the grain and grass consumed on the road are at least ten times more than the soldiers guarding Zhennan Pass! "

"Our Great Yue Kingdom is small, and the loss of transportation grain and grass is much smaller!"

"It will be very bad for you to continue!"

"Your Daming Empire, more than a dozen Great Yue Kingdoms are so big, and if they continue to be consumed in the future, I am afraid that the grain and grass will not be able to be transported!"

"We're here for your own good!"

Zheng Chong stared at Chongzhen with a smug look.

Chongzhen laughed: "I heard that your small country fights wars with loans?" "

In a word, let Zheng break through the defense.

What?

How did they know that we took out loans to fight?

And he only dared to borrow two million taels of silver, afraid that if he borrowed too much, he could not afford to pay it back.

The point is that the Annan kingdom also did not have the strength not to repay the loans of the East India Company.

After all, it was founded by the Dutch Republic and is currently the most powerful trading company in the world.

"It's just two million taels of silver! The agricultural tax we collect every year is converted into almost one million taels of silver! "

"We can afford the loan, we don't need your worries!"

Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahahaha, the income of your Annan Kingdom is not even as good as a royal grain shop in Xuan, what do you compare with Daming?" "

"See for yourself, what do your soldiers eat?"

"What do you see the soldiers and horses eat?"

"If you develop for another hundred years, you won't be able to compare to Daming!"

Zheng Chong carefully looked at the food of the Ming army on the city wall.

Looking at the various cans and beers in the glass bottles, as well as the beautiful candies, the whole person frowned.

"Isn't it? The food in the Daming Empire is so good? "

"Since the messengers are here, sit down and taste what the soldiers of my Daming Empire eat!"

Zheng Chong was also not polite, sitting next to the coal, the whole person was shocked again.

"Isn't it? You fought and made fires, and you actually used coal? "

"This coal is very expensive!"

The soldiers sitting next to the coal looked at Zheng Chong in unison.

"This coal, ten yuan and one hundred catties, where is it expensive?"

"One hundred pounds of coal, enough for ordinary people to use for a month!"

Zheng Chong had a black line on his face: "Isn't Daming using silver?" What does this ten dollars mean? "

"Daming now uses Daming coins, which is a kind of paper money, see no, this is it!" , a Ming army soldier took out the Daming coin.

"One or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a hundred Daming coins!"

"Any idea how many things you can buy?"

Zheng Chong was curious: "How much?" (Read violent novels, go on Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"Ten cotton clothes or two hundred pounds of rice, or one hundred pounds of salt, or one hundred pounds of pork!"

What?

So much?

"Did you see it, the Daming Royal Grain Shop opened in Zhennanguan, the grain in it can't be eaten at all!"

"Those of us who are in the army have enough food and meat every day, and we can also receive a box of cigarettes and matches every day!"

"Do you know what this is? Glass bottled beer, glass bottle of milk! "

Zheng Chong was stunned, the Daming Empire is worthy of being a heavenly kingdom, and this fucking mother is too rich.

These things I have never seen at all, let alone heard of.

After a full meal, Zheng Chong's view of the Daming Empire changed greatly.

"The Daming Empire is rich, the next is rich!"

"I haven't eaten these foods for most of my life!"

"Before, I lived for nothing!"

"I always thought that my Zheng family was a nobleman living well in the Annan Kingdom."

"Who knows, the food eaten by the Zheng family, as the first family of the Annan Kingdom, is not comparable to the food of ordinary soldiers in Daming!"

These beers, milk, and all kinds of cans have never been seen before, and this is also delicious.

This fine salt can be added directly.

The soldiers of the Annan Kingdom ate vinegar cloth.

This gap is too big, it is simply a heaven, an eighteen-layer hell.

"Don't be sad either! Aren't you going to talk? Show your sincerity! "

Zheng Chong frowned, this Daming Empire is so rich, if the Annan Kingdom can become a part of the Daming Empire, then life will definitely be much better.

Now that the Annan Kingdom has borrowed two million taels of silver, it is time to increase the agricultural tax burden next year.

"Your Majesty, peace talks are definitely hopeless! Our Annan Kingdom is poor and backward, and I am embarrassed to open conditions! "

Chongzhen was curious: "What conditions?" "

"Seeing the Daming Empire so rich today, I found that King Annan was simply sick in his brain, and he wanted the Daming Empire south of the Yangtze River, what a fool's dream!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go back now and enlighten him well!"

Zheng Chong did not stop and immediately returned to the camp.

Chongzhen had a black line on his face, and his mother came to eat a meal and left.

But fortunately, let him see the wealth of Daming, and it is estimated that the king of the Annan Kingdom himself was frightened.

Zheng Chong returned to the camp, his soul not guarded.

King Annan frowned: "Zheng Song, look at your son, why is he not reluctant?" "

"Zheng Chong, what's going on with you? Entering the handsome tent, how can you not keep your soul? Bullied by the Ming Army? "

Zheng Chong shook his head: "Daming grain can't be eaten at all, and the soldiers eat three meals of large white rice a day, unlimited quantities!" "

"They also treated me to ordinary soldiers' meals!"

"At least ten times better than the king's meal!"

King Annan frowned: "How is it possible?" Can they eat three meals a day, like I do? "

"Yes, every meal is two meats, two vegetarians, a bowl of soup, a bowl of rice!"

King Annan frowned, every meal he had was a bowl of rice, a small dish of pickles, and every two days there would be a plate of meat and a little vegetable.

This kind of food is very good.

Especially pickles, ordinary people in the Annan Kingdom do not pickle pickles, because salt is very expensive.

These pickles were also only affordable for the nobles and royals.
