I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"We haven't figured out why the prince did this, maybe he thinks he can control everything."

"Okay, gentlemen, how Daming and his son handle their relationship is their business. The next thing I want to talk about is this prince."

Hadar picked up a portrait, and a young man's head appeared in front of everyone.

"This is the prince, the actual controller of Daming now, with a very strange name, Zhu Zhangui."

Handing the portrait to the entourage next to him, while everyone was watching carefully, Hadar continued: "This prince named Zhu Zhangui is also a man with ambition and strength, and his experience is also very legendary."

"Zheng He must be familiar to everyone. He won the title of Duke by virtue of his achievements in traveling around the world."

"As far as we know, when Zheng He went to sea for the second time, the prince was only seven or eight years old, so he secretly followed Zheng He to the sea."

"It's been five years since they left. Zheng He's fleet, which was only for foreign exchanges in five years, has turned into pirates who burned, killed, and looted."

Hadar turned around and pointed to the locations of the southern and western oceans of Daming.

"The route they traveled was roughly like this. During those five years, countless small countries were plundered by pirates, and countless gold and silver treasures fell into the hands of the Ming fleet."

After briefly introducing what Zhu Zhangui did in his youth, Hadar looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

"Do you feel familiar? Is it similar to what you have experienced recently?"

The faces of the people below were ugly for a while. All that Hadar said completely verified their guesses.

They just said, before there were no powerful pirates here, why did a wave of powerful pirates appear as soon as Daming came.

"Gentlemen, what you need to care about now is not the issue of piracy, but the security issue of your own country."

"Mr. Oliver introduced the territory of Ming Dynasty just now. Think about the prince's robbery path I just mentioned. Have you noticed any differences?"

No one who can become a high-ranking country is a fool. After Hadar mentioned this point, everyone was shocked.

If they remember correctly, when the prince went to rob, there were still countries in the surrounding areas to the west and south.

At the beginning, when Oliver introduced the territory of Ming Dynasty, none of these countries existed.

In other words, when the prince was a pirate, Ming's territory was not as large as it is now.

Seeing that someone below had figured this out, Hadar knocked on the table to make everyone look at him, then turned around and drew a smaller circle on the map of the Ming Dynasty.

"Gentlemen, here I can seriously tell you that 10 years ago, the territory of Ming Dynasty was only so big."

For a moment, everyone below stared round their eyes.

Oh my god.

There seems to be a big difference between the two circles.

Some representatives stretched out their hands, compared Daming's initial territory, and then compared it to the current territory, their expressions becoming more and more shocked.

How strong is Daming? In 10 years, he actually expanded his territory several times.

How did it take Daming 10 years to conquer such a large territory?

How many troops does this require?How much money do you need to pay?

"First, in the name of diplomacy, find out the wealth of each country, then plunder as a pirate, use the robbed money to strengthen yourself, and attack the enemy's vitality by the way, and finally find a reason to directly send troops to conquer the opponent's population. The land was completely annexed."

"This is Daming's current conquest strategy, and it hasn't missed yet."

"Now the Eastern Region has almost been completely occupied by Ming Dynasty, and now their devil's hand has extended to the West, starting the initial stage of this routine."

"Gentlemen, I believe you have seen Daming's ambition."

"I can tell you responsibly here that this is an ambitious country. Its goal is not one or two forces, nor is it the money that everyone values. It wants to swallow the whole world and become the world's most important country." The first empire to conquer the entire world since

"Gentlemen, this is not a real fantasy of Da Ming, but that they really have the strength to do this."

Hadar's words made the hall completely quiet.

Hadar was right, if he followed the routine the other party said, now Daming has already started the initial stage.

Zheng He made friends with other countries to inquire about the situation on the surface, and then plundered countries to collect funds in private, destroying the vital forces of each country, and preparing for the next increase.

Even some thoughtful representatives thought of a deeper level.

Daming's sale of weapons to other countries is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

It is very likely that Da Ming saw the beliefs and various contradictions of the Western countries, and wanted to use this to make the countries fight each other, let them weaken their own strength, and reduce the pressure on Da Ming's next increase.

Thinking of this, many people closed their eyes tiredly.

What's the use if they figured it out now?

They don't buy weapons, someone will.

Once they do not buy weapons, they will face armed rebels and other hostile countries.

At that time, there is no need to wait for Daming to come, and it will be enough for them to face the rebels and other countries who are armed to the teeth.

"Gentlemen, the current situation must be clear to everyone."

"The threat of Ming Dynasty is imminent. We, the Ottoman Empire, have made a proposal, hoping that all countries can unite together, temporarily abandon the previous grievances and grudges, and first confront the powerful enemy of Ming Dynasty."

"After Daming is resolved in the future, everyone will resolve any conflicts by themselves."

Oliver stepped forward and issued an alliance proposal.

The imaginary response did not appear, and the representatives of various countries in the audience frowned and thought about it, considering the gains and losses.

After a long time, the representative of England raised his hand.

"Mr. Hadar, I have something I want to ask."

Hadar smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the other party to ask casually.

The representative of England pondered for a moment, looked at Hadar and asked.

"Your country is at war with Ming Dynasty. You must know the military strength of Ming Dynasty very well. Can you tell us how many troops Ming has now and how many soldiers we need to gather to resist or defeat them."

Hearing the England representative's question, Hadar and Oliver looked at each other.

They have been avoiding this question and want to tell everyone after the alliance is established.

I didn't say it at the beginning, because I was afraid that exposing Daming's military strength would scare all these guys away.

But now that someone has asked, if they don't answer truthfully, I'm afraid this alliance will not be formed in a short time.

Even if it is established, once the strength of Ming Dynasty is known to other countries, internal complaints and contradictions will be rampant.

Thinking of this, Oliver gritted his teeth and nodded to Hadar.

It’s a blessing, not a curse, and it’s a disaster that cannot be avoided. Anyway, these people will know this information sooner or later. Instead of causing conflicts later, it is better to directly announce it to the public and screen out those countries with unstable minds first.

Glancing at the representatives of various countries, Hadar took a deep breath and told the information collected by the Timurid Empire with countless money and effort.

"Da Ming's current strength..."

Chapter 342: If the West wants to rise, it must kill Daming!

"Gentlemen, oh yes, and this lady."

Under everyone's gaze, Hadar spoke slowly.

"According to the accurate figures we got, at the end of last year, the number of troops counted by Daming was..."

The representatives of the various countries in the audience left their seats slightly, held their breath, and stared at Hadar, hoping that the other party could say a number that they could accept.

In the front row of everyone, a woman in knight armor also clenched the knight sword in her hand.

"466 million!"

A string of ordinary numbers that couldn't be more ordinary was spit out from Hadar's mouth.

But just this string of ordinary numbers, like a huge thunder, set off a stormy sea among the crowd.

"Oh God, how is that possible, there are more people than there are in our country."

"Mr. Hadar, did you forget to add a point in it, for example, 46.6! Or, you said an extra 6."

"Mr. Hadar, this is not a joke. The army of more than 400 million is close to 500 million. This number has surpassed the people in most of our countries. I don't think there is such a terrorist army in this world. It's too exaggerated."

"That's right, the only one who can have such a huge army is God himself."

Shouts of exclamation and disbelief sounded from the audience, and many people stood up in shock, expressing their disbelief in this number.

The knight girl sitting in the front row of everyone, when Hadar said the number 466 million, leaned heavily on the chair with her straight back, closed her eyes slightly, and didn't know what she was thinking about.

But from her jade hand tightly holding the scabbard, it can be seen that her heart is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

"Gentlemen please be quiet, please be quiet!"

Being questioned by so many people at once, Hadar didn't know who to answer first, so he could only wave his hands vigorously to make everyone quiet down and ask one by one.

The venue gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at Hadar nervously, expecting the other party to say what he just joked.

"Gentlemen, I know you think this number is too exaggerated and unlikely, but I can say responsibly that the number I just mentioned is 100% certain, and I can swear to God."

After speaking, fearing that these potential allies would be frightened and dare not join forces with them to fight against Daming, Hadar quickly comforted everyone.

"Gentlemen, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. Although Da Ming has so many troops, they also need to defend a lot of areas. After all, their land is so big."

"According to our estimates, the number of troops Daming can dispatch to fight abroad is just over 100 million."

"As long as we unite, we can stop Da Ming's million-dollar army."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of the mouths of many people below twitched violently.

It's just over 100 million, just pay it back!

Good guy, are you misunderstanding this number?

If you unite to block each other, who gave you the confidence and courage, the dead Timur the Great?

Don't use your brain and think about it, the army that a country can take out to fight against the outside world is definitely not a mob composed of serfs and slaves, it is definitely an elite army that can conquer and fight well.

Thinking that they were going to face millions of elite legions, the legs of representatives of many countries began to tremble.

How many troops did the Mongols use in their westward expedition?It seems that there are more than 20 troops, and more than 20 troops will beat the crap out of the western countries.

If Daming followed Mongolia and pushed westward with millions of troops, I am afraid that apart from God himself descending, no country in this world could stop Daming's advance.

You know, Ming Dynasty was the empire that defeated Mongolia.

What does this mean?

This shows that Ming's soldiers are stronger, fiercer and more powerful than the Mongols back then.

God, more than 100 million troops stronger than the Mongols attacked the west, and everyone in the audience began to think about whether they should dig a hole and wait when they go back.

This saves you from dying in the future, and you don't even have a place to bury your body.

Seeing that my own consolation not only didn't work, but made the atmosphere even more silent.

Hadar sighed helplessly in his heart.

He was not surprised by everyone's behavior. After all, when he heard the information, he was also shocked, and he was dazed for a long time before he gradually recovered.

At any time, when the strength reaches a terrifying level, it is really difficult to make people feel rebellious.

He even suspects now that these allies he is going to win over must have begun to think in his heart, how can it be cost-effective to seek refuge with Daming.

"Mr. Hadar, I would like to ask, where did you get this information, and is it really that accurate?"

Just when the atmosphere was at its lowest point and the alliance was about to end before it even started, the female knight sitting in the front row, who was leaning back in her chair and closed her eyes in thought, raised her hand.

"This is Ms. Joan of Arc of France, a great knight, a hero who saved France, and is very influential in their country."

Knowing that Hadar didn't know each other, Oliver hurriedly introduced him in a low voice.

"It turns out to be Knight Joan of Arc. It's a great honor to meet you."

Knowing that the woman in front of him is very influential in a country, Hadar's face was originally dissatisfied with the woman's participation in this meeting, and the expression of dissatisfaction with the woman's participation in this meeting was instantly put away, showing a kind smile and saying hello.

Jeanne nodded slightly and responded.

She could see the other person's expression clearly, but she didn't care.

In this era of men in charge, she has come to this point step by step, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of distrustful and contemptuous eyes.

"As for the information we have obtained, I can tell you with certainty that it is very accurate."

"Because our intelligence source comes from an intelligence organization inside Daming."

"Because of the prince named Zhu Zhangui, the other party established another intelligence report, felt the crisis and the anger of being distrusted, and developed a mentality of revenge."
