Caballero brought out the "Japan-Mongolia Entente" that he had prepared to Fernando. When Alvarez and Kigi saw it, they couldn't help but applaud.

This "Entente" is too clever!

First of all, the Entente perfectly avoided the religious red line of Philip IV and the Holy See, that is, the religious question of the Timurid Empire in Hindustani. Žesbania was not France, and for the sake of national interests, it could form an alliance with the Ottoman Empire, the enemy of Catholicism, despite the opposition of the Pope.

Therefore, the celestial faith of the Timurid Empire of Hindustan was an insurmountable obstacle for Philip IV.

However, Caballero, an "expert in international law", used a concept of the Timurid Empire of Hindustan being attached to the Empire of the Great Khan, so that the Great Mongolian State represented the Timurid Empire of Hindustan diplomatically. That is, the Timurid Empire of Hindustan was considered part of the Great Mongol State.

Sony and other five ministers went abroad for a turn, not only changed the name of the country, but even the country was very different, inexplicably more India!

If you draw an internationally recognized map of the Qing Dynasty now, Dolgon will not recognize it - is the country above really the Qing Dynasty?

Sony, these people are called a nervous! I don't know if I can explain it after I go back?

However, Philip IV and the Holy See can be confused, whether it is the Great Mongolia or the Qing Dynasty, they will not take the Heavenly Religion as the state religion, so it will be fine, politically correct!

Second, the Entente dealt with the Catholic missionary question quite skillfully!

Not to preach freely, but not to preach!

"The Mongols did not promise to give Catholicism the right to spread freely?" Bishop Kigi asked, frowning.

"No, what they promised, I didn't." Caballero's answer was a surprise.

"Why?" Kigi asked.

Caballero laughed: "Because free preaching is practically impossible!" The fact that Greater Mongolia can represent the Mughals here in Europe does not really mean that it can protect the Church from freely spreading the Gospel of the Lord in Mughal land.

In addition, Korea, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, was also quite exclusive to Catholicism!

And there are also some problems in the Qing Dynasty...... Confucianism and Buddhism have a lot of influence there and occupy the mainstream. Once the church is allowed to develop freely, it will inevitably lead to unnecessary conflict. At that time, with the temper of the regent of the Qing Emperor's father, it is likely that he will issue an edict to prohibit it, and maybe he will kill the disciples, which will be unfavorable. ”

Free proselytizing in places where Catholicism is not the dominant is certainly the goal pursued by the Ecumenical Church, but this is the "highest requirement" and not the bottom line, and the bottom line is not to ban Catholicism.

And with Caballero's understanding of the Qing Dynasty, the Holy See, and the State of Risbania, if he preaches freely first, he will definitely turn his face because of the matter of proselytizing and banning religion in the future.

Instead of turning your face over a trivial matter in the future, it is better to strictly limit the missionary matter, and don't be as good as a newlywed couple now, and become a father killer in a few years!

Caballero said: "So I established in the Entente the terms of the Holy See's ambassador to the Qing Dynasty and the Qing court to negotiate missionary matters...... Let's discuss these things! ”

Fernando, Duke of Navarre. Alvarez didn't care, he just turned his head to look at Kigi, who was a very enlightened cardinal, and said to Caballero with a smile: "Justice, you did a good job and thought things out!" ”

He paused, "There are still some trade issues that are beneficial to both sides, oh, should be beneficial to all three sides, to discuss with the Mongols. His Majesty has agreed to open the Pacific Trading Company to trade furs with the Qing Dynasty, and the Indian Trading Company to trade with the Mughals...... Do you think these two companies can be opened? ”

Caballero thought for a moment and said, "There is no problem with the fur trade in the Pacific, but the Indian trade may offend the interests of the Netherlands, Portugal and the United Kingdom, and it needs to be seriously considered." ”

Kigi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then let's do the Pacific trade first...... Maybe we can use the support of the Qing Dynasty to knock on Japan's door, and then we can make a lot of money! ”

......

Just when the Qing mission, disguised as a Mongol, was negotiating with the envoys of Zhisibania and the Holy See in Seville, Ji Kun, who had just sent Condé, Li Shaoyou and Gurju away, finally met the representative of the Dutch in the newly listed Ming embassy in Paris. Dimen.

By the way, Prime Minister Mazarin did not leave the port of Marseille in the end! Although he boarded a French warship bound for Alexandria with Condé, Li Shaoyou, and Gurgyu, he had to get off the ship to get it because he forgot the gift from the French Queen Mother Anne to the Empress of the Ming Dynasty in the hotel, and in order not to alarm everyone, he disguised himself as his entourage and disembarked......

Mazarin, who had delayed the ship, had no choice but to return to the Château de Saint-Germain again, and reluctantly took over the post of Prime Minister of France again.

Just a few days after he took over the post of prime minister, the Dutch side finally sent someone to welcome Ji Kun - the Netherlands is a very interesting country, a good Europa sea and land hegemony, but after defeating Spain to gain national independence, he broke himself up.

In terms of face, it is still a country, but the lining is divided into seven parts, not only the navy and army are divided into seven parts, and the seven provinces are under their respective jurisdictions, and everything that is on the table must be approved by the councils of the seven provinces before it can be implemented.

So back to the domestic Van . These days, Dimon was going back and forth between the councils of the seven provinces and the board of directors of the East India Company, explaining to a large number of people the upheavals that were now taking place in the Eastern world. After running for a few months, and answering a bunch of inexplicable questions, he was busy until February 1651, when he finally became the speaker of the seven provincial councils. Werther got a letter and a question.

Zhun Xin is the United Provincial Republic welcomes the arrival of the Ming Mission!

The question is how big is the Ming Empire? This is indeed a difficult problem, and Ji Kun doesn't know either, because the size of the Ming Empire is different under different standards.

And under the same standard, the area of the Ming Empire is constantly changing.

"Ambassador Dimen, what do your seven provincial councils want to know?"

In the city of Paris, in a three-story Western-style building, Ji Kun is meeting with Fan. Dimen, of course, he knew that the issue of the Seven Provincial Councils was not so simple.

Fan. Dimen explained with a smile: "The question of the Seven Provincial Councils includes three aspects, one is how much territory does the Ming Empire claim to own?

Second, how much land does the Ming Empire actually control at present?

Third, how many people were in the territory of the Ming Empire? The term "proper" refers to the territory claimed by foreign vassals. ”

Dimen's words were finished, but Ji Kun looked at Fan with blazing eyes. Dimen, "Ambassador Dimen, continue! ”

Fan. Dimon shrugged and smiled, "Okay, I'll explain that again. The seven provincial councils wanted to know if the Ming wanted to unify China? Still want to know the territorial claims of the Ming Dynasty in the direction of the South Seas? ”

Ji Kun laughed: "Of course the Ming Dynasty wants to unify China!" But the Ming court's territorial claims in the South Seas did not know! ”

I don't know if you can't talk nonsense!

And Ji Kun already knew that the Dutch had taken the wrong medicine and disbanded a very powerful army by himself.

Although the Dutch navy was still strong, without a strong army, the Netherlands could not afford to occupy much territory in the South Seas.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty now has two "good friends", France and the Ottomans, which are very important for the struggle against the Netherlands and England, the two European maritime powers, and having friends on the European side.

Otherwise, it would be easy for Daming to let people be bored on the Eastern Continent, and they would not have the strength to change hands at all, and they would not be able to get out.

And with France and the Ottomans, the Ming Empire could even bribe France to threaten the Netherlands without an army if necessary!

Ji Kun paused and asked rhetorically: "The envoy also wants to know, how much territory do you Dutch claim in the South Seas?" Perhaps our two countries, together with Portugal and England, can sign a "Quadripartite Treaty" to jointly ensure stability and free trade in the South Seas. ”
