Daming Military Empire

Chapter 447 The Conspiracy of Great Powers

Trafford and Speke were not very interested in Richelieu's proposal, because neither country had too many armies, and it was not of great benefit to them to increase the production of flintlock guns crazily, and they did not want to Selling flintlock guns to allies with more troops than them, wouldn't it be dangerous to feed a white-eyed wolf.

Hmph, playing tricks on me, Richelieu sneered in his heart, and Chunchun induced: "Do you want to curb the development of the Ming Empire?"

Isn’t this nonsense, let the Ming Empire continue to develop like this, not to mention robbing the colonies, their homeland will be in danger, the two nodded in unison, with eager expressions in their eyes, they knew that the old fox was going to make a move up.

Richelieu continued: "Are you willing to send troops to hold back the Ming Empire?"

What an international joke, sending troops to drag the Ming Empire, the Ming Empire is not so easy to mess with, if you can't hold it, it is very likely that people and guns will be dragged to your home, isn't that looking for death, the two are very firm Shaking his head, he said he would not do it.

Richelieu spread his hands like a pickpocket, and asked irresponsibly: "Then what do you think should be done?"

The two were dumbfounded. If they had a way, would they rush to Paris?
In his later years, Richelieu was notoriously arrogant and conceited. Seeing the foolish looks of the two of them now, he asked very rudely: "No way? No way and you don't listen to me. What do you want? How about it?"

The two looked at each other in embarrassment, and were deadlocked for a while. Finally, Spike softened, and he said cautiously: "Your Highness, don't be angry, aren't we listening?"

Richelieu snorted coldly, took out a simple world map from his pocket, spread it among the three of them, then pointed to the South Seas, and asked coldly: "Have you done anything with the Ming Empire at sea?"

The two shook their heads helplessly, they rushed up to do it too soon, and even came to listen to your nagging.

Richelieu pointed to the Persian Safavid Empire and asked coldly: "Let them attack the territory of the Ming Empire in South Asia, would they dare?"

They dare, no wonder, now the Persian Safavid Empire is trembling between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, it would be good if the Ming Empire didn’t attack them, and they dare to attack the Ming Empire, unless their high-level collectively voluntarily crazy!

Richelieu poked heavily at the Siberia region on the map, and said unquestionably: "Now, we can only take advantage of the opportunity to develop if we let Tsarist Russia step in and drag the Ming Empire to the cold Siberian plateau."

Trafford and Spike's eyes lighted up when they heard the words, but soon dimmed again. Tsarist Russia is not a fool, why did they rush to fight against the Ming Empire!
Spike couldn't help but reminded: "Your Highness, Tsarist Russia will not agree to make a move in nine out of ten, even if they agree to make a move, just relying on the matchlock guns in their hands, they will not be able to stand up to the regular army of the Ming Empire. How long before they break down."

Richelieu rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "So I ask you to increase production, make more new types of flintlock guns, and donate all unnecessary matchlock guns, arm the Tsarist Russian army, and let them go Delay the Ming Empire, the longer the better."

Even Trafford couldn't bear it now, and he carefully reminded: "His Royal Highness, it will be very difficult for Tsarist Russia to take action."

Richelieu said proudly: "I have my own solution, you just need to provide muskets."

Spike couldn't help worrying: "We don't have as many troops as them, what if they bite us back?"

Richelieu said arrogantly: "What are you afraid of? Don't you have more powerful artillery? Besides, no matter how strong their army is, can they be as strong as ours?"

Trafford and Speke don’t seem to be stupid now, oh, let’s make guns like crazy and give them to Tsarist Russia. You French made them for your own use, and you don’t sell anything. There are such cheap ones. something?
Seeing the dubious expressions of the two, Richelieu couldn't help pointing at his own head, and cursed angrily: "Use your brain, if you want Tsarist Russia to take action, you have to spend money. Do you know how much money it takes? Just let you I don’t even want to make some flintlock guns, so if you pay for it, we will make guns!”

When the two of them heard the words, they both showed expressions of sudden realization. They spent a long time throwing money at them. According to the current situation in Russia, money can really kill them. It really is an old fox, amazing!
The eyes of the two of them looking at Richelieu gradually turned into admiration. When it comes to playing tricks and tricks, no one in Europe really can play with him.

However, it seems that the two allies, Sweden and Denmark, have been forgotten?Can't let them get cheap for nothing!

Trafford couldn't help reminding: "His Royal Highness, what about Sweden and Denmark? They don't need to pay money or effort, are they too cheap?"

Richelieu said darkly: "How can there be such a good thing, let them provide food and grass, we are far away, and the freight is not cost-effective, and they are close, so the food and grass are just right."

Having thought of all this, the two of them couldn't help but add another point of respect to Richelieu. I have to admire his brains!

Tsarist Russia doesn't know yet, they have been tricked by the most famous old fox in Europe, and they will run to confront the terrifying Ming Empire. At this moment, they have just received the news and are about to send an envoy. I ran over to ask for advice.

In other words, would Tsarist Russia really be acting stupid all over, and run over to do something with the Ming Empire?

This has to talk about the current internal situation of Tsarist Russia. In fact, it is not Tsar Mikhail I who is in power in Tsarist Russia, but a group of nobles in the court.

This Mikhail I did not have the spirit of his uncle Ivan the Great at all, and his character was extremely weak. He turned a blind eye to the seizure of power by the great nobles in the court, and even handed over the power in his hand very cooperatively. Let them toss!

This has led to the prevalence of corruption within Tsarist Russia. The reason why the big nobles seized power is not to make money. Therefore, Richelieu, Trafford, and Speke all concluded that they would take action if they could spend money.

Speaking of which, would these great nobles of Tsarist Russia really disregard the interests of the country for the sake of money and provoke the powerful enemy of the Ming Empire?
Someone once said such a famous saying: "If there is a 10% profit, the capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, the capital will be active; if there is a 50% profit, the capital will take risks; for 100% If there is a profit of more than 300%, capital dares to trample on all laws in the world; if there is a profit of more than [-]%, capital dares to commit any crime.”

Those big nobles in Tsarist Russia are one of the prototypes of capital. Now it is not as simple as a profit of more than 300%, but someone wants to give them free money. As long as the money is enough, they can't do anything!
