Section 601 Everybody is friendly
The Portuguese Governor-General, Paul Collotte, held a solemn ceremony in the square of the Governor's Palace to welcome the arrival of Hong Xiguan, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Southeast Province of the Chinese regime, and his party.
Yes, the definition is very correct.
In the coastal areas of the mainland and Taiwan, the ships of the Eastern Prefecture are flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty, and in Southeast Asia and the west of the region, the flag of the Ming Dynasty no longer appears!
The Governor made an enthusiastic speech welcoming the friendly visit of the South-East Fleet to Colombo, believing that the friendship between the two places would be strengthened and the ties between the Portuguese and the Chinese would be strengthened.
He also took the initiative to review the long-standing contacts between the Southeast Province and Portugal, yes, the Portuguese have also been leasing the Macau area of the Ming Dynasty, and have established commercial pavilions in Taiwan and the Rising Sun City.
The people of the two countries are friendly and harmonious, and they have never blushed, and they are indeed a model of international exchanges.
He was making a speech, while the rest of the Portuguese had strange faces.
The always strong "Big Bear", well, Paul Collott's nickname, is the first time I've seen such a good talk!
Of course, Paul Coliot, as the governor, is well-informed, and he knows that there is a powerful fleet of battleships in the southeastern province, and the strength of this fleet is increasing every year, which is equivalent to the total strength of the Red Hair Fan in the Indian Ocean! He knew that the Southeast Province had defeated the overlord of Malacca, Aceh, and he also knew that the Southeast Province was so arrogant that it forced all the ships to dock in Johor, and the business of Malacca City, which originally controlled the Strait of Malacca and was controlled by the Portuguese, plummeted!
If you snub the people of Southeast Province here today, tomorrow they will dare to bombard the city of Malacca and take back Macau!
Speaking in Portuguese, he thanked Governor Paul Coliot, the Portuguese, and their hospitality, and exaggeratedly said: "Your enthusiasm is as hot as the weather today, which makes us feel deeply, thank you!" ”
The Chinese applauded with the Portuguese.
It's nonsense, but the Portuguese respect for the Chinese comes from the bottom of their hearts, not only the gunboats inside and outside the port, but also the main thing is that the voyage is a technical job, not that I can sail far away, you have to have the technology to drive out, drive back, the wind and waves are the best test, and the consequence of failure is to lose life.
To put it bluntly, it's not a war, it's purely public-funded tourism! If you have more money, let the children increase their knowledge!
The leaders of the two sides had spoken, and Paul Collot, who was a red-haired fan, would not dance at the slightest sign of disagreement and a good agreement like Ah San, and he invited the Chinese dignitaries to inspect the Portuguese musketeers.
Three hundred Portuguese musketeers were tall, richly dressed, carrying heavy muskets, lined up in an orderly manner, showing great force!
Hong Xiguan did not hesitate to praise words, what mighty and strong, majestic, firepower and other terms popped out one by one, so that the Portuguese couldn't help but flutter.
The Chinese were reserved and gave polite applause to Hong Xiguan's words, while Costeet, who was traveling with him, couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
He is eye-catching, obviously red-haired, but he wears the service of the Chinese army, and his military rank is quite high---- he has deep qualifications, and he took refuge in the Southeast Mansion very early, and Hong Xiguan is his student.
The mayor of Colombo, Andrade, next to Costeit, asked the general why he was laughing.
"The governor of our southeast province, without ten times the strength here, doesn't dare to pull it out and ask someone to review it!" Costet told the truth.
Andrade was speechless for a moment.
In the middle of the sore feet of the red hair, the red hair knows that there are great profits in the East, and there are many places that are purely the kind of people here who come with stupid money and too quickly!
That's right, the Chinese IQ is 105, the Hongmao Fan IQ is 100, the and the Nanyang brown-skinned monkey have an IQ of 70, and the Ottoman monarchs have an IQ of more than 100, but they have a large number of slaves, which lowers their average IQ, and the same is true for the Sanguo family, the Brahmins and Kshatriyas' IQs are over 100, after all, they are still very successful in Silicon Valley, there are many scientists and CEOs, but the Shudras and Vaishyas of the Sanguo family plus the untouchables have dragged down the average IQ of the Sanguo family......
It's a pity that the war between the mother countries of Hongmaofan is raging, and there is not much manpower to spare, so I have to watch the southeast province attack all over the country, and occupy the territory but there is nothing to do!
To be honest, it is a smart move for Zhu Hongmao to give up a long and short term with the Southeast Mansion in Southeast Asia, shrink his strength, and try to protect the Three Continents of A, and not let the Southeast Mansion pass.
Paul Coliot was one of the people who had attended the meeting of the Englishman Francis in Madras in the Asan region, and he knew the strategy of the red-haired fans, but the southeast army did not attack, and he couldn't scold the other party, and no one would be at odds with the money that came to the door!
The Portuguese agreed to set up an official office in Colombo to represent the interests of the Chinese, support the trade of Chinese businessmen in Colombo, give preferential taxes, provide adequate supplies, and notify the Southeast Provincial Office of the disposition of Chinese businessmen.
The two sides signed the "Treaty of Friendship and Trade between the Southeast Province and Colombo", after which the Portuguese hosted a banquet for Hong Xiguan and his party.
The food of Hongmaofan is ordinary, but there is meat to eat, so the Chinese still eat very happily.
After the meal, Hong Xiguan and the others said goodbye and left to visit Colombo City.
After the Portuguese fleet landed near Colombo in 1521, they captured Colombo and started operating, and to this day, the Portuguese are doing well!
The main street is hard-bottomed, which is one of the symbols of civilization.
The most beautiful buildings are the Catholic churches built by the Portuguese, and the splendid Buddhist temples!
The arrogant red-haired fan, with a warm smile of Buddhists passing by the Chinese, like a landscape painting.
The local Chinese who had welcomed the visit of the Southeast Fleet on the dock appeared, and they chatted with Hong Xiguan and the others familiarly, and soon the villagers shouted in a nomadic voice.
When they heard that Hong Xiguan had signed a friendly trade treaty with the Portuguese, they were very happy!
They led the Hongxi officials to visit, they walked to a large temple, and found that there were Chinese pavilions and pavilions, and there was a mysterious temple of Ah San, and at the entrance of the temple, the Hongxi officials understood why they wanted to visit this temple.
It's really amazing, I actually invited the second brother Guan to watch the door!
One is a statue of Guan Erge, which is known to Chinese, plus another statue of a god who doesn't know what, guarding both sides of the gate.
Second Brother Guan is not angry and arrogant, wearing heavy armor, holding a Guan knife in his hand, guarding the temple in a foreign country!
Inside, the courtyard is enshrined in Indian, Thai, Chinese and other styles of gods and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas Arhat statues, as if in the boiling water and land conference, there are as many as six layers, some obviously Chinese gods and goddesses are also included.
Everyone was almost stunned, this is really special!
The officials of Hong Xi paid homage to the gods and gave ten silver dollars, which is not a small amount, and silver dollars are hard currency.
Standing in the courtyard and looking out, you can see the greenery around the city.
Sri Lanka has 90% tropical vegetation coverage, but I don't know what it's like to be nearsighted, and the green everywhere is like a fairy tale in the Wizard of Green Leaves.
Out of the temple, they went straight to the most important place in the city of Colombo.
Gem Street!
