Chapter 248 United

The makeup from the Ming Dynasty swept half of Spain and was even brought back to Austria by the Habsburg nobles who came to visit.

No one can reject these healthier and more attractive cosmetics, but in fact, the reason for the real tide has nothing to do with health.

Most cosmetics in this era looked the same, and even the perfumes of the Ming Dynasty and the perfumes of the Arabs had the same roots and origins, but the method of steaming in the Song Dynasty was just used.

But the cosmetics of the Ming Dynasty adhere to the business philosophy from the Eastern Military Palace. Anything that needs to be sold abroad is only one word, it is expensive.

It looks expensive and expensive to use, so it is naturally expensive to sell.

Chen Mu didn't even need to be specifically involved in this matter. The kiln manufacturer from Jingdezhen is the most loyal fan of the Eastern Minister. The craftsmen who used to be honest never expected that the kilns could be sold at such a high price.

Nowadays, they have contracted all packaging, foundation boxes, porcelain; perfume bottles, porcelain; jewelry boxes, porcelain; everything must be porcelain.

Even the top concept should be used in gimmicks. The foundation porcelain box should be made of the latest blue and white colors, with the blessing ship, shark ship, and roca ship.

The small perfume bottle must also have a Ming sergeant with a helmet and armor on it.

They are the industry that is most profitable for national strength. In the early years, European aristocratic families customized some heraldic porcelain from them through the Oriental Military Palace. Now those heraldic porcelains are no longer popular.

The best selling are the Ming Dynasty households' livelihood pictures, military military exercises, military uniform pictures, and civil servants' regular clothes pictures. However, except for the common people's household pictures, the other three types of picture sets need to be issued a certificate before they can be sold.

The kiln owner also knew why his things were sold well and why, because their Dongyang Banner Army could fight and put them all in vain, so he naturally fell in love with their things.

Therefore, there is no spare effort.

However, in today's England, from the heads of Guizhou, from princes and princes, no one could feel the charm of the Ming Dynasty.

In Northumberland, nine hundred miles north of London, in Annick Castle, Queen Elizabeth walked around the fort in annoyed manner, stamping her feet from time to time, and stabbing her rusty sword on the way to the heavy tapestries.

Her irritability did not stem from strategic events. In fact, in England, the situation of the Tudors was getting better, and the troops of the Kingdom of Scotland were constantly crossing the border, driving south after a brief assembly of Alnik Castle.

Ironically, when England was unprecedentedly powerful on the island, the Kingdom of Scotland in the north was unwilling to be annexed by England, but when England was weak, the proposal of the United Kingdom was quickly passed.

They simply decided that King James Stuart of Scotland, as the heir to Elizabeth, declared his mother innocent and would become king of the United Kingdom a hundred years later.

Such a decision led to the six Scottish nobles mobilizing 30,000 troops to go south, and even recalling more than 6,000 Scottish warriors from the Kingdom of France through negotiations.

The Scottish Guards who were supported by the French royal family were recruited and trained by the Scottish kings who imitated the English longbowmen in their early years. When the Scottish king died, these guards were hired by France to become the royal guards who protected the Palace of Versailles.

The French were unwilling to see the Ming Dynasty clamping them from both sides of the north and south, so they easily let the Scots return home, and even equipped them with the best plate armor in the continent.

When the Scottish longbowmen returned to their hometown, they were all regarded as elite combat forces by the king, and even sent recruits to carry spears, longbows and melee weapons for them.

But such a good situation cannot alleviate Elizabeth's irritability.

Because Elizabeth has no cosmetics.

Twelve young, Elizabeth was infected with smallpox, but later, although she recovered from illness, she left many hideous scars on her face.

Over the years, she has been relying on lead powder imported from Venice and a large amount of arsenic, mercury and lead foundations and lipsticks to cover her face and body.

These things make the queen lose appetite, lose her mental health, and become more and more likely to fall into irritability and unreasonable sadness.

Symptoms will be relieved when you are happy, but when people have too much psychological pressure, everything will burst out like a flood.

At this moment, living in the castle built in Annik to prevent Scottish invasion, watching a large number of Scots travel south every day and night, it is undoubtedly the time when Elizabeth has the greatest psychological pressure ever.

Not to mention that countless news flowed into my ears continuously, with rumors and truth in it. No one could clearly distinguish whether something happened hundreds of miles away was true or false.

The Queen's confidant, foreign minister Yang Gao, has always fulfilled his mission as a loyal minister, and has been trying to warn the Queen and the generals over and over again what kind of opponent they are facing.

‘The Ming army can carry dry food for three days and rush to 300 miles in two days. Once the army enters its 300-mile radius, it will no longer be safe.’

‘The Ming army’s scouts will cross the front line to conduct investigations a hundred miles, so be careful.’

If you say too much these words, it will only make you frighten and boring - no one can run 300 miles in two days in the war in England, and no scout can cross the front line to conduct reconnaissance.

This is something they have never heard of, how to fight it?

People thought that Yang Gao was deceiving the morale of the army, and later locked him in the dungeon of Annick Castle.

But the queen has not issued an order to execute Yang Gao for a long time.

She was very worried that the past situation showed her that everything Yang Gao said to her was true, all the suggestions were correct, and even those prophecies.

He predicted the storm in Southampton, the assassination of the Count of Leicester, the food shortages and rebellion in Ireland, and demanded that the Queen leave London.

Now London has indeed been captured by the Ming army. If she hadn't left, she would have been trapped in the Tower of London.

All of this proves that Yang Gao is a great loyal minister.

The most important thing is that no Ming spy has ever approached Yang Gao.

Even though Yang Gao is still imprisoned, he must ask the Queen to order the front-line troops to advance three hundred miles forward, and the rear-level positions must set up defense lines on the banks of the Tyne River, at least one hundred miles away to prevent the Ming army from raiding.

However, until the Scottish army divided into two groups and entered Lankester and York, there was still no trace of the Ming army. Instead, there was news that the merchant ships who had experienced a life-long death were brought back to Tsarist Russia from the sea.

They said that Tsarist Russia had lost its ability to produce furs and encountered extraordinary military attacks in eastern Ural Mountain. After description, the queen was very convinced that the army the merchants were talking about was the Ming army.

Red Hat and Blue Hat, is there anyone else in the world wearing such strange costumes?
