Among these envoys, there are many military generals. They are much more interested in the weapons of the Ming Dynasty than those civil servants. Now they can operate these artillery themselves, which is simply what they dream of, and they are much more courageous than those civil servants!

With the help of the soldiers, they put gunpowder in the shells. When they were fired, they obviously felt that the weight of the shell was not very heavy, at least much lighter than expected. Moreover, they did not bump randomly when loading the shells, and there was a certain way, but there was no difference outside the shells.

According to the soldiers' requirements, the generals installed gunpowder and shells, and then retreated and lit the leads.

The lead was sizzling with white smoke. Then, I heard a bombardment. The cannon body shook violently, and a ball of flame appeared at the gun mouth. Then, a sharp and harsh sound came from the air. In the distance, a huge explosion sound came again, and dust and flames soared into the air!

I felt the power of the Ming cannon at close range, which was completely different. The shock and impact it brought were also different. The generals also knew the power of these cannons very well!

These artillery deeply shocked these foreign guests. Although they come from different countries and have different purposes, if these weapons can be bought, they will play a crucial role in strengthening their own military strength!

William naturally mixed with these generals and observed these artillery close-ups. Only then did William find that these artillery seemed much smaller and not as powerful as those on warships. One reason is that these artillery needed other tools to transport them, and they did not want the artillery on warships. The entire warship was a means of transport for artillery. It seemed that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was also divided into land use and sea use.

For his own country, such small artillery is more suitable for the use of the army. After all, large-scale conflicts should be on land rather than on the sea. Even if you buy this type of artillery, it is actually OK to load it on a ship.

But William wondered why the weapons were only displayed this time. When they went overseas, the Ming soldiers seemed to be carrying muskets and other things on them. Why didn’t they show them this time? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty is just selling cannons now!

William was a little puzzled about this, but turned his head to see what Jiang Lang was saying at the emperor. The two were talking in a low voice, as if they were saying something. In fact, William now knows very well what they are saying. Will it have something to do with the purchase of weapons in his country. You must know that it was agreed that the first batch of weapons exported from the Ming Dynasty was for his country!

However, William couldn't hear it no matter how far away he was. What he hoped most now was to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after the end, or to make great progress in this matter!

As for the others, they naturally don’t understand William’s mind. They are still carefully studying the Ming cannons. Some people even took out pens and paper to draw the Ming cannons, and then planned to take them back and imitate them. In this way, even if the Ming Dynasty did not sell the weapons to others, their own country could make them!

"Sorry, you can't draw pictures here!"

The soldier said very politely, and then took back the pens and papers from the envoys. After all, these secrets that also belong to the Ming Dynasty, and these people are absolutely not allowed to be taken back!

In fact, for these people, even if they know the structure of this artillery, the most important thing for this artillery is not the structure of the artillery, but the structure that constitutes its structure, especially the gun body and other components. These have a lot to do with the metallurgy of the Ming Dynasty. If the metallurgy technology does not meet that standard, there is no way to make qualified artillery. Even if it is well manufactured, it will not be possible to reach the same level. In this way, the impact on the artillery is very great. To make artillery, it is not only related to the design drawings, but it has a lot to do with other developments of the country!

Therefore, for the Ming Dynasty, the biggest secret is actually metallurgical technology, that is, the formation of artillery metal, which is the most critical thing. Of course, this is also the most confidential thing. If you don’t master it, even if they make artillery, it will only have a shape and will still be very bulky. Of course, there is a big gap with the artillery of the Ming Dynasty today!

These foreign guests were stopped, but they didn't forget it. If they couldn't draw it, wouldn't it be enough to keep it in their minds? So they tried hard to remember the appearance of this cannon, including William in the same way. Although Jiang Lang had promised to give him the cannon, he was still a little worried. After all, it was a bit stupid to put it completely on others after all!

However, there was a time limit for this visit. After about the meal, these foreign guests were invited back to their stands, and the Ming Dynasty artillery was towed away at this time. Then, a document was delivered to these people, with the meaning of Emperor Jingtai, which was the exit of the weapon!

William also held these things, and felt a little relaxed at this time. It seemed that Jiang Lang was right that he was right. The Ming Dynasty did plan to sell weapons. So, will he have the chance to have a close contact with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

Of course, this exercise is not just about showing the weapons to these foreign guests. The display time was not very long, so it naturally took at least one or two hours to be decent. So the Ming Dynasty then conducted some very ordinary displays such as queues, but these were just for the front desk. What the foreign guests care most about now is the specific matters of the export of weapons to the Ming Dynasty, but they were not mentioned to them from beginning to end!

Not everyone doesn’t care about the basic temporary periods of the Italian Ming soldiers. At least those military officers care very much. After all, looking at the power of an army, it’s not just their weapons!

"I'll go behind, well, that William, just let him come and see me!"

Emperor Jingtai whispered, then stood up and walked behind him!

Jiang Lang nodded, and after Emperor Jingtai left, he walked to William's side and whispered: "His Excellency William, please come with me!"

William quickly stood up and asked, "Mr. Wang, are you doing anything?"

Jiang Lang whispered: "Aren't you meeting the emperor? Now he is waiting for you behind you!"

When William heard this, he was overjoyed. He did not expect that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty really saw him. This weapon might have made great progress. He immediately thanked him: "Mr. Wang, thank you very much. I will never forget your great kindness!"

I have been to the Ming Dynasty for a while, so of course I can say some of these grateful words!

Jiang Lang shook his head slightly and said, "Now the Emperor has appointed me to be fully responsible for the export of this weapon, so whether the Emperor will sell the first batch of weapons to you, it depends on your performance! Let's go!"

Emperor Jingtai did not speak William and the others' language, so Jiang Lang still had to be present as a translator!

William nodded quickly and followed Jiang Lang behind him. The envoys from the other countries only saw the two of them muttering for a while, but they didn't know what they were saying.

When I arrived at the room behind me, there were only two people in the room, Jingtai and Yu Qian, and the other guards were arranged outside the door!

The first time I met the emperor, and it also concerns whether I sold my weapons to my country, so William did not hesitate at all. He immediately fell to the ground and said in very stiff Chinese: "Long live the emperor, long live long live long!"

"Yeah, he can still say what we say!"

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but said curiously, but he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. He coughed gently before saying, "Well, get up!"

However, in order to meet the emperor in the Ming Dynasty, William only learned the long live the sentence just now, and he still couldn't understand the rest. He looked at Jiang Lang in a daze, not understanding what this meant, or what Emperor Jingtai said!

Jiang Lang quickly translated Emperor Jingtai's words. After understanding the meaning, William stood up. However, after all, it was not from this country. Therefore, after ordinary ministers got the emperor's permission, they would say thank you or thank you. He didn't thank you anything, so he just got up!

"Your Majesty, this person doesn't understand some of the etiquette of our court. Please forgive me!"

Jiang Lang said hurriedly from the side!

Emperor Jingtai waved his hand indifferently, and then asked with a smile: "You came from afar, I don't know if you have any habits of our Ming Dynasty!"

After Jiang Lang's translation, William nodded quickly and said, "I'm very used to it. The Ming Dynasty is a good place, well, it's a paradise!"

Jiang Lang translated it according to his meaning. When he heard the word heaven, Emperor Jingtai asked slightly strangely: "What is heaven?"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, this heaven is not something, but a place. Well, according to our words, it should be similar to the Western Paradise!"

"A bastard, this Western Paradise is where only dead people go. So he said that our Ming Dynasty is all dead!"

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but say angrily, this man actually said that the Ming Dynasty had become the Western Paradise!

Jiang Lang couldn't help but feel happy and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, please calm down. He is not not scolding us, but saying that our place is very good and a beautiful place!"

"What does he mean?"

Emperor Jingtai asked a little strangely, thinking in his heart that this most beautiful place for foreigners is what kind of paradise?

Jiang Lang nodded again and said, "Well, yes, that's what he meant!"

Emperor Jingtai was relieved. At least this Jiang Lang would not lie to him, so he said, "Tell him, our place is not heaven, but a place where living people live! Don't know what. Heaven is not heaven, it sounds bad!"

Jiang Lang couldn't help but laugh and cry. The conflict between Chinese and Western cultures seemed to be very well reflected at this time. Of course, when translating it to William, it changed a little and became: "Welcome to live in it!"

This is also the benefit of being a translation. Neither Jingtai nor William understands each other's words, nor do they know when they are translating themselves that they find good ones!

Hearing Jiang Lang's translation, William hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, well, I want to ask you a risky question. I don't know what the emperor has to make about the export of this weapon!"

Jiang Lang translated it in a realistic way!

Emperor Jingtai thought for a while and said, "Tell him, you are in charge of the export of this weapon. If you have any questions, you can just look for you. Don't look for me. Okay, you can take him out. You are so tired of speaking like this. I'll take a break here!"

Emperor Jingtai had already issued an order to expel guests at this time, and both of them could not understand the words. It was like a heavenly book!

Jiang Lang translated the Jingtai Emperor's words and added: "Okay, Lord William, let's go out and let the emperor have a good rest!"

When William heard that Jiang Lang was in full control of the export of this weapon, he couldn't help but feel happy. Isn't it very sure that the first batch of weapons were sold to him? He immediately left the door of the room with Jiang Lang, and then asked immediately: "Mr. Wang, I don't know what you plan to arrange!"

Jiang Lang sighed slightly and said, "Mr. William, I am really in a difficult situation now!":

When William heard this, he felt an unknown premonition and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, what happened!"

Jiang Lang then sighed and said, "Let's go, let's talk while walking!"

William hurriedly followed!

After walking a few steps, Jiang Lang said: "Since we released the news that we would export weapons to the outside world, many envoys from countries have found us one after another, hoping to buy our weapons, and the price was also very good, at least reaching our expected price. Now the monarch of your country has not made any statement yet. At the same time, the emperor also hopes that we can speed up the opening of the current situation and implement the export of weapons. So we thought about it, the best way now is to not sell these first batch of weapons to you for the time being!"

When William heard this, he became anxious and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, this was what you promised me in advance. How could you...return to your regret!"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency William, don't be excited. Let me finish the matter in detail. It's not that we don't sell weapons to us, but that we will suspend it. The so-called suspending means that the previous plan remains unchanged. We will send people to your country to show them in person. If they are satisfied, they will naturally agree to sell it. This round trip will take several months. During this period, as long as you are sure to want it, we will immediately work overtime to produce to ensure that you have sufficient supply. Now our weapons exports have just begun, so we cannot stock up on a large number of weapons. We can only say how much we need, we will produce as much as we need. To put it simply, if you are sure to buy, we will produce immediately. If you want fifty doors, we will produce fifty doors, and we will produce one hundred doors. As long as your money comes, we can guarantee that you have sufficient supply! Your Excellency William, now you understand what I mean!"

William then understood a little and said, "Then what Lord Wang means is that you will only produce it if we are sure we want to buy it?"

"right!"

Jiang Lang nodded and smiled, "Your Excellency William, you don't understand that this weapon is not a meal. We can still eat the next meal before we finish this meal, so we can't make a large number of cannons and stay there now. Of course, we will only produce it with customers. So as long as you agree to purchase and bring the money, we will naturally prepare all the things you need for you in a short time!"

This also gave William a sense of anxiety. Of course, on the other hand, it was also unnecessary waste of imitation. These artillery were all retired artillery pieces from the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming army basically does not use this kind of artillery, but the latest artillery. If it is produced too much, no one will use it there. For the Ming Dynasty, it would be a waste!

"But Lord Wang..."

William was still a little anxious, after all, they continued these weapons now!

"His Excellency William, you think about it from my perspective!"

Jiang Lang said helplessly, "In fact, we decided to export weapons, largely because you expressed great interest in our weapons. Otherwise, we would not have made such a decision. And I will preside over all this. Many ministers in this court actually opposed it. But the emperor made such a decision under these pressures. If we have not even completed a business, we will definitely be laughed at by these ministers. How can we raise our heads in front of them? The most important point is that they think that exporting weapons is not feasible at all. Then they are forced to do so.

With the pressure of some ministers, the emperor is very likely to terminate the export of weapons. Then, then you will not be able to buy weapons. Because your country is too far away from us, it takes a long time to go back and forth, and we cannot wait for such a long time. So we must first make one or two transactions, so that the ministers of the court will completely shut up. In this way, even if those people in your country agree later, our plan to export weapons will not be terminated. At that time, as long as your money arrives, we can work overtime immediately to produce. This will be of great benefit to both of us! Mr. William, what do you think?"
