James II couldn't help but scold Xu Qianxue.He believed that Ming Guo would not deal with him because he scolded Xu Qianxue.Because he is now going to give more benefits to Mingguo.The Ming Kingdom would definitely want to be the Lord of Great Britain for the time being.The clever James II knew that if he wanted to be a king with real power in England, he could only be the dog of the Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to become the agent of the Ming Dynasty in England.In this way, Da Ming will not be in a hurry to spend a greater price to destroy his own Yingli.And he doesn't have to worry about being betrayed by the nobles in his own country one day.James II intended it this way: he could use the customs duties as collateral, first borrow money from the Ming State, buy a large number of advanced military weapons, and then equip his royal army, so that he could control the parliament, or even dissolve the parliament!
In the eyes of James II, in this case, although he was reduced to the dog of the Ming Kingdom, he could have real power in England.Moreover, as long as he took advantage of the fact that the Ming people did not have enough in England, he used the force he controlled first to seize the land of the nobles, and used it to strengthen the capital of the army and expand the army, and even used it to develop science and technology, then he would not worry about whether he could make the British Empire strong again.Therefore, James II decided to take the initiative to be the dog of the Ming Dynasty.Because he found that as long as the country that is a dog of the Ming Dynasty, its strength is stronger than that of the countries that are not the dogs of the Ming Dynasty.For example, the Japanese kingdom that was fighting in the Americas and defeated the British Empire.James II hoped to strengthen his country by being the dog of the Ming Dynasty first, and then to bully the other European countries that had not yet become the dog of the Ming Dynasty.But James II had to admit that Xu Qianxue did not have this understanding, or was unwilling to have this understanding.That's why he scolded Xu Qianxue for being a stupid thing.James II now even has the heart to kill Xu Qianxue, he feels that if he kills Xu Qianxue, the Ming people are only afraid that they will be more happy than angry.But James II could not kill Xu Qianxue yet.Who told him that there is no one in the British Empire who can understand Chinese and speak English.Now James II also needs Xu Qianxue to be his mouthpiece.Therefore, after scolding Xu Qianxue, James II had to apologize: "Your Excellency, this king is sorry for the faux pas just now, but please believe that this king's decision is absolutely beneficial to my British Empire." ”"Don't dare!""
Yes!"
Xu Qianxue replied.He knew that James II must have been very dissatisfied with him, and now his respect for him is pretended, and the reason why James II still respects himself so much is still because of his Han blood and because of the strength of the Ming Kingdom.The dignity I got is still related to Mingguo."
I already knew that all my dignity was owned by the strength of my home country, so why did I go to England and come to England as an official of the Ming Kingdom to become the emperor in the United Kingdom, or even if I was a businessman and lived in the United Kingdom, wouldn't I still be a human being?"
Xu Qianxue suddenly felt that his current status as an English earl was not fragrant at all.And the English princess he married is not as good as the famous prostitute of the Han family who was born in the dust that he abandoned, at least the person behind the famous prostitute of the Han family is estimated to be able to help him plan an official position to come to England as a consul."
This is a matter that can be discussed, and I will reply to your majesty the king after the official reports to your majesty!"
After Tang Bin learned from Coleman and Xu Qianxue that James II agreed to accept all the conditions put forward by the Ming Dynasty and intended to take out a loan from the Ming Dynasty to buy arms, he also readily said that the matter was negotiable.After listening to Xu Qianxue's translation, Coleman also bowed and saluted: "Thank you!"
”At this time, Tang Bin said again: "Your Majesty the King is a sensible person, and this official wants to meet him." ”Coleman replied, "I'll pass you on that." ”Xu Qianxue looked at this scene, his heart was very sour, he felt that he should have been like Tang Bin, who could stand tall in front of the Waiyi nobles and be respected by them, even by the king's henchmen.Xu Qianxue regretted it even more, because he was unwilling to be an unprivileged scholar in the Ming Dynasty and defected to England, but now he has changed from a first-class person to a third-class person, and has only been reduced to the point of translating for foreign-class nobles.Therefore, Xu Qianxue saluted Tang Bin at this time: "Tang Gong!
Can I say a few words to you?
”Tang Bin said nonchalantly: "You are just a lowly foreigner, how can you have the qualifications to talk to this official alone, so that your chief negotiator will be left out to dry?"
If you have anything to say, just say it here. ”Tang Bin's words made Xu Qianxue's face very unbearable.But he can only endure it now, thinking that Yingyi who is here here can't understand Chinese anyway, so he forced a smile and said: "Tang Gong reprimanded that he was really misguided before his late life, and he was willing to be cheap, and did something sorry for his ancestors and the country, but now, later life has woken up and is determined to repent, and asked Tang Gong to tell General Liu, and ask him to bring a letter to his uncle and uncle in late life, saying that late life has the intention of returning to China, and is unwilling to be a minister of England anymore, and wants to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, in addition, please also ask Tang Gong to help, when the time comes, late life is willing to thank him with his property in the UK!"
”Tang Bin sneered: "If you can easily turn back after betraying the nation and the country, then the word 'loyalty' still has meaning?"
Xu Qianxue didn't expect Tang Bin to be unwilling to help him, and he was quite disappointed for a while."
In addition, the official clearly told you that you are still dead in this heart, and your uncle can't help you now!
It's not that you don't know that now that public opinion in the Ming Dynasty is spreading rapidly, the fact that you Xu Qianxue went to Xiyi and treason has long been known to the whole world, even if Your Majesty can tolerate you, the world can't tolerate you!
”Tang Bin continued.Xu Qianxue's face turned pale after hearing this, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.At this point, Xu Qianxue had to dispel his thoughts of wanting to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty again and then stay in England to be a master.After James II knew that Tang Bin wanted to see him, he really invited Tang Bin to his bedroom.As soon as he saw Tang Bin, James II did not dare to face Tang Bin as a king, but directly bowed down to Tang Bin and said: "I am willing to repay His Majesty the Great Ming Emperor with all the wealth of my British Empire!"
Thank you for the kindness he bestows!
And ask the angel to pay high tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty on behalf of this king!
”The meaning of James II's words is similar to the amount of material resources of Great Britain and the favor of the emperor.Tang Bin smiled after hearing this, and helped James II up: "His Majesty the King is really a sensible person!"
”Next, Tang Bin and James II struck up a conversation.James II took this opportunity to further express to Tang Bin his idea of being the dog of the Ming Dynasty, and used the power of the Ming Dynasty to suppress his parliamentary power in England.Tang Bin said that he would do his best to promote this matter.Not long after, the Ming court sent an edict from the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao by telegram, agreeing to James II's request.Therefore, the content of the contract between Daming and England was formalized.Zhu Youxiao had already requested that this agreement be called the "Treaty of London".James II, together with Liu Zhaoji, the plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, signed the text of the contract and stamped it.Thus, the first treaty between the Ming Empire and England was reached.
