Richelieu was very serious when he said this. What does his so-called friendship mean? Richelieu must have known that Lu Xiangsheng must have.

I know what you know, so you know what I know what you know too.

It means you are following me and I will give you benefits. In the future, we France will protect you from the Ming Dynasty in this place. In this place, we will mention our name, which is very useful!

But Lu Xiangsheng doesn’t think there is any difference between covering France or not. I have always covered myself since ancient times. Now you say that covering my Ming Dynasty means, what does it mean? Do you think that my Ming Dynasty will be your younger brother?

Lu Xiangsheng said slowly while drinking tea: "Spain is an important part of Europa. I, Daming, thinks it is very beneficial to establish a good diplomatic relationship with Spain."

His meaning is to show that we can stand with Spain, and it is okay to stand with you France, but why should you let us Ming Dynasty vote for you?

Richelieu knew that no blood could attract the Ming official, so he spoke again: "We France are willing to safeguard the commercial interests of the Ming Dynasty in the Europa area."

This means that it can help the Ming Dynasty expand their business to other parts of Europa, without being limited to the Netherlands as it is currently.

I have to say that this does involve a great piece of interest. At this time, there is no free trade. If you want to transport goods to other places, you must look at the face of others. It is a very troublesome thing to live on other people's land.

If France, the European powerhouse, supports it, then the Ming Dynasty's business will be much easier.

But this is not enough. Lu Xiangsheng just took France's right and knew the difficulties they were facing at this time.

Although it is difficult to do business in the early stage, it is not difficult to solve. My Ming Dynasty goods are exclusive. As long as you want, you must purchase them from my Ming Dynasty. Are you afraid that there is no business for exclusive products?

So Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slightly, he was not satisfied with this thing at all.

The price is too low, just add a little more, add a little more.

Richelieu looked at Lu Xiangsheng quietly, as if he could see through him just by looking at him.

It’s a pity that Richelieu couldn’t see through people’s hearts, and he had no idea where the bottom line of a wise man lies.

But it would be impossible to add up the prices at once. The benefits of national affairs are too great. If you give up a little, it will be a considerable number.

So in this level of negotiation, it is always a little bit hard, and there will be no situation where you will be 10,000% or less at once. Every time you bid, it is one in ten thousand or less, just a little bit.

The so-called "I'll make the price less in one breath, or I'll make the price higher in one breath," this does not exist. If you add a little bit every time, what can I regret if the price is high or low?

Otherwise, if you can talk about small matters in national negotiations for ten or half a month, you will be able to get through time little by little in terms of interests.

Both sides then started grinding, from dawn to dark, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, and the other party bid too little.

Richez stayed in Versailles for three less wonderful days.

In the end, he and Lu Xiang had a friendly agreement between the Ming and France and discussed sending troops to the Netherlands.

Of course, there are also Dutch people involved.

After defeating the Netherlands, one-third of the territory was returned to the Ming Dynasty, so the Versailles region could be expanded by about four times, greatly increasing the Ming Dynasty's territory in Europa.

Of course, the Southern Netherlands alone was not enough. Richelieu Sea promised to rent Bracan, the Kingdom of Portugal, to Porto for a period of 99 years, with a rent of one dollar per year.

Now the Ming Dynasty was satisfied, France was satisfied, and the Netherlands was even more satisfied. The three parties worked together to draw out their satisfactory interests.

France got Spain, Frederick got the coveted southern part of the Netherlands, and now he was intact.

The Ming Dynasty was nominally able to gain a foothold in Europe.

Everyone is happy, right?

So France began to prepare for war, and 20,000 French troops were preparing for pre-war preparations in Paris. Frederick also began to hold a meeting and then mobilized 20,000 troops from the nobles below, plus his own 10,000 troops to form 30,000 troops to prepare for the battle.

The Ming Dynasty mobilized two divisions, the Third Division and the Fifth Division, plus an artillery reinforcement battalion, and two independent battalions were also a team of 30,000 people.

France didn't want the land of the Netherlands, so he only needed to dispatch 20,000 troops, a total of 80,000 troops to launch an attack on the South Netherlands from three sides. The attack time was two months later, because both France and the Netherlands needed to prepare for war.

The Ming army must also be prepared in the past two months, and then work together to build to prepare for a firm foothold, but a telegram broke Lu Xiangsheng's peace.

This telegram was sent by His Majesty, and the content on it made Lu Xiangsheng suddenly excited.

It turned out that the Ming Liberation Army led by Cao Bianjiao annihilated the main force of Ottoman in the Bolu area of ​​Ottoman, and now it has advanced towards Kojaeli.

The main force of the 200,000 Ming army, the 100,000 Tartar servants, plus the 300,000 Safi Liberation Army, and 200,000 Habra Liberation Army, claiming to be a three million army, advancing towards Kojaeli in a mighty manner.

Isn’t it just to scare people? So I don’t have to shout a little more. Wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassed to not scare the enemy?

Of course, although there seems to be an army of 800,000, the ones with full combat effectiveness are the 200,000 main forces of the Ming Dynasty, or the Tartar servants, which can also have some effect. The remaining Safi Rescue Army and the Habra Rescue Army can only be regarded as cannon fodder. It is okay to maintain the supply line behind, and Cao Bianjiao has no hope of fighting or something.

From this telegram, Lu Xiangsheng could see the scene of the vast army and see Cao Bianjiao's energetic smile. It's a pity that it was not me there, but it doesn't matter, Europa belongs to me!

His Dame's telegram was to inform the situation, and to let Lu Xiangsheng transfer the Ming naval warships into the Mediterranean.

After Cao Bianjiao defeated Kojaeli, they would face Constellation Danteburg, the city known as the most solid city in the world and the city that could never be compromised, and of course it was also the capital of the Ottomans.

The first thing the Ming army faced when they wanted to attack Constellation Danteburg was how to cross the sea. The Bospruce Strait was a roadblock that blocked the Ming army's footsteps. If they wanted to attack Constellation Danteburg, they had to help them.
