At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Great Britain was at an advantage, and in the end, France was forced to ced the territory west of the Loire and paid huge compensation.

However, after Charles King of France succeeded to the throne, the situation changed again. In order to regain lost territory, Charles V adapted the army, rectified the tax system, and prepared for war. Two years ago, France launched continuous offensives to regain the occupied territory. Bertrand Du Geckland led the army and attacked the British army with raids and guerrilla tactics, and defeated the British army in many battles such as the Battle of Montell. Now, the British army has lost a lot.

The situation is very unfavorable to Great Britain, and the disadvantages of Great Britain have gradually become prominent. After all, Great Britain and France are not bordered by territory, and Great Britain has to cross the strait. Now, Great Britain's army has suffered a lot of losses and has no strength for the time being.

At this moment, someone offered advice to Her Majesty the Queen, and in the far east, there was a country that fought across the sea and achieved success.

This country was the Ming Dynasty. They sailed far away on the sea, but as a result, they pacified the island country. This record made the Queen of Great Britain very much appreciate, so they had this idea. Invite their navy to come over and help their side fight!

Anyway, it was just a little money. In the past few years, Great Britain asked France for high compensation for defeat, which was enough to pay the Ming Dynasty for the mercenaries. Moreover, Britain did not have to continue to suffer casualties. After all, after the decade of the Black Death, the population of Great Britain also decreased significantly.

In this way, we need to find someone who can negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. This person finally found William's head.

William and Juliet traveled eastward, but they brought back a lot of glass. Moreover, William was not very strict with his words and showed off his relationship with the senior leaders of the Ming Dynasty, especially with Prince Chen, which eventually led to William being summoned by the queen and getting such an errand.

At this time, William could not refuse at all. He could only come to Middle-earth with a few nobles of Great Britain and the trust of Her Majesty.

After coming, William realized that the Ming Dynasty had been completely unified and Prince Chen was not in Pingjiang either. He could only come to Yingtian first and ask for the emperor with a tough bullet.

This time the job is very difficult, but after finishing this time, William will be awarded the title of title by the Queen, and he can be regarded as a nobleman with an official title.

William completed his meeting with the Minister of Rites, so he was relieved for the time being. Let's consider what happened tomorrow tomorrow. I heard that Juliet and Prince Chen had a hot fight. If not, he went to find Juliet himself.

Unlike William's mood, Zhu Yuanzhang was confused when he looked at the letter of nationality submitted through Tao Kai and listened to the purpose of these people reposted by Tao Kai.

These people saw the powerful combat power of the Ming Dynasty army, and then asked the Ming Dynasty army to help them quell the tribe's rebellion?

Due to lack of knowledge, they did not know what kind of country this Great Britain and France were. Subconsciously, they only thought it was a small tribe in the Southeast Asian country.

If the Queen of Great Britain heard it, I don't know what it would have been like.

"Your Majesty, they have brought 1,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver. When we help them defeat France, we will give 10,000 taels of gold." Tao Kai continued.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively wanted to say, "In the Ming Dynasty, the power of heaven is vast, how can we ask for the property of these small tribes? We are not fighting for money. However, this sentence is still not expressed. There are 1,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver. Although there are silver mountains of island countries, there are still a lot of money, not to mention that after the battle, there are still 1,000 taels of gold.

It is very attractive to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What do you think of the request from the envoy of Great Britain this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Below Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Ji, Xu Da and others were all thinking about it. This time, it was different from any previous one. This time it was just for money. Is it worth doing this in the Ming Dynasty?

After a long time, Liu Jicai said, "Your Majesty, we don't know where this Great Britain is. We don't know how many soldiers it takes to send and how many days it takes to sail to arrive. We don't know. Sending troops in such hasty may be contrary to the taboos of military strategists."

"If you want to talk about Great Britain, Prince Chen should know best that he had contact with Great Britain in his overseas trade. I heard that there was a foreign girl named Juliet by his side, who was a British man." Yang Xian said.

Yang Xian knew the details of Prince Chen best, so although Yang Xian didn't know where Great Britain was, he also knew that Prince Chen must know.

Prince Chen! When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this name, he blinked.

"This time, I want to send troops to Great Britain, I should be dispatching the navy. I just don't know if our navy has such ability." Liu Ji finally said another sentence.

Navy! If you want to go to Great Britain, it must be the navy. This time, I sent troops and I have no connection with Prince Chen again.

Now, Zhu Di is in Dadu, and is his King of Yan. If he can send troops this time, and for the sake of security, Prince Chen will personally lead the army, then Dadu's army will be fully handed over to Zhu Di for command.

In this way, Zhu Di took over Chen Feng's army without hesitation, eliminating the biggest disaster.

As for the sea, Zhu Yuanzhang was not very concerned.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea.

"Yes, since you are dispatching a navy, you cannot do without your brother. Come and pass on my orders and ask your brother to come and answer the Tianyishu." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang just opened his mouth, and Chen Feng had to leave Dadu, go south and come to Yingtian.

When Chen Feng had not crossed the Yangtze River and stayed in Yangzhou, he knew the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to go. As soon as he got on, he was constantly thinking about countermeasures.

Summer has arrived, and Jiangnan has reached rainy season again. There is a hazy drizzle all day long.

On the glass wall of the main hall, you can see raindrops outside, falling down drop by drop, hitting the stone steps on the ground. There was a small hole above it, dripping water through the stone.

"Brother Emperor, this time, I'll call you thousands of miles to Yingtianlai. Thank you for your hard work." Seeing Chen Feng, before Chen Feng could kneel down to pay homage, Zhu Yuanzhang happily grabbed Chen Feng's hand and said, "Come here, give him a seat."

"For the sake of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty, I am not working hard." Chen Feng said: "The emperor summoned me to come. What is the important matter? Please tell me clearly."

"In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just a few foreign countries. There are some conflicts. I want to ask us to reconcile them. Moreover, I have also given a sum of funds." Zhu Yuanzhang said happily to Chen Feng.

Fanbian? Emperor, that Great Britain, in two years, the sun never sets, and there are colonies around the world. France is not something to mess with. When the Cold War was at its most intense, people did not listen to NATO's call and carried out their own national defense.

What kind of foreign country is they? Even now, the Ming Cheng there is similar to the Ming Dynasty.

Although I thought so in my heart, Chen Feng still said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of foreign country it is?"

"One of them is called Great Britain and the other is called France. The messenger of Great Britain came to our Ming Dynasty and wanted us to uphold justice for them." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

It was clearly a person who came to hire mercenaries, and he was arrogant and upright and was fair. Chen Feng thought to himself.

"I have heard of this Great Britain. Among my business partners, there is one person, a merchant from Great Britain. Every time I ship goods, I have to go to Great Britain for a year." Chen Feng said.

How far is it? Even in Southeast Asia, half a year is enough! Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, but then he thought, it would be better for a year. Then, and then he went back and forth, and there, he would not be able to come back without four or five years.

"I really didn't expect that all countries at such a long distance have already admired the Ming Dynasty. It seems that if my Ming Dynasty did not agree to their request, it would be rejecting guests from afar. This is not the way for my Ming Dynasty to entertain guests." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chen Feng knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was now determined to send troops.

"Brother Emperor, if we work hard to help them uphold justice, how many people will it take and how much does it take?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

When Chen Feng heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he pondered and kept muttering, as if he was acquiring the numbers.

After a long time, Chen Feng raised his head: "Your Majesty, if we send troops this time, I plan to dispatch ten latest warships, and use them back and forth, almost ten thousand taels of silver."

Ten thousand taels of silver! As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked: "Brother, do you have so much?"

"Yes, my ships are all burning coal now. When I go out, except for ten warships, I have to have at least twenty cargo ships. I will be transported and replenished, plus personnel consumption. This is just a round trip fee. If I fight there, if there are any casualties, plus the pension, I will have to at least twenty thousand taels of silver." Chen Feng said. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Chen Feng's words, he was even more impressed. This time, the other party's envoy sent a gift of gold, one thousand taels of gold, and five thousand taels of white.

Silver is probably not enough to support this expense. "However, this time the troops were sent to promote the power of the Ming Dynasty, which was the main purpose, so that those far-off tribes would know that the power of the Ming Dynasty was vast. As for the expenses, the British envoy said that they had tributed one thousand taels of gold and five thousand taels of silver, all of which were left to the emperor's control. If it was not enough, they would be taken from the treasury." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Come, please come up!"
