Chapter 340: What can you do if you don't accept it?
Manuel I's angry shout stunned Julius II, Ferdinand II, and Marin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, however, this matter is mainly a problem in Spain. After all, Spain wanted to carve up India's interests. So, Julius II and Marin, both set their sights on Ferdinand II.
Ferdinand II also knew that this time it was Spain that took advantage of Portugal, and it was inappropriate for others to come forward to attack Portugal. So, I had to go to the ...... myself
Ferdinand II remembered a little trick that Marlin had taught him to off the Portuguese - he pretended to be careless and plucked out his ears, and then flicked the dug earwax at Manuel I, and blew it. Then, in a nonchalant tone, he said:
"What can you do if you don't accept it?" That look doesn't take Portugal seriously......
If you have friends who have watched too many Hong Kong films, you can see at a glance that this is the arrogant action of the boss of the Black Club when he negotiated. Although the action is very indecent, it expresses the contempt for the other party vividly.
Manuel I was really enraged and wanted to come up and beat Ferdinand II, but was stopped by the guards at the negotiation site.
"I'm going to duel with you!" Manuel I yelled angrily.
"What a child, who is still fighting a duel these days, and when you defeat my Spanish army of tens of thousands, come and duel with me......" Ferdinand II continued to say angrily.
"I ...... I ordered the mighty Portuguese Navy to sink all the Spanish ships going to India! Manuel I said angrily.
"Very well, I will send tens of thousands of troops to take Lisbon, strip the Portuguese nobles, including you, naked and tie them to the cross in the square in front of the palace......" said Ferdinand II viciously.
Although Europe cannot kill the aristocracy casually, it is normal for the victor to humiliate the vanquished. If the dignified King of Portugal had been stripped naked and tied to a cross for people to see, even if he was put down later, Manuel I might not have the face to be king. For his people will despise him. After all, in this world, not everyone can be a traitor who bears the burden of humiliation.
And, that's not all:
"In addition, I will also find a woman with syphilis from the wild continent and have sex with you, so that you will be infected with syphilis...... Haha, although it is not allowed to kill nobles, but it is not within the limit for you to get syphilis and then die of ulcers all over your body......" Ferdinand II carried the lines designed by Marin on his back, but it was a cold sweat - Nima, too vicious......
Manuel I was also stupefied by this vicious plan - what the hell, should it be so terrible? First, he stripped naked and tied to the cross for people to see, and lost his face. Then, I contracted another syphilis that made my whole body festering and dying...... It's so vicious......
Through this vicious ploy that made people feel chills in their hearts, Manuel I's anger was finally suppressed. Moreover, the momentum is also much weaker. Then the real negotiations begin.
Manuel I, who had calmed down, was no longer noisy, but calmly looked at Pope Julius II. Because he knew that Ferdinand II would be angry with himself. After a long silence, Manuel I asked in a hoarse voice:
"Your Holiness, why do you favor the Spaniards?"
"Your Majesty Manuel, I am not taking sides with the Spaniards." Julius II said calmly.
"Not partial? Africa is clearly Portuguese territory. India is also a Portuguese ......"
"Wait, what are you talking about? India is Portuguese? Who rules? You? Ferdinand II asked disdainfully.
"Isn't it? According to the Papal Meridian, wasn't India in Portugal's sphere of influence? ”
"I remember that the reason for that division was because Spain and the previous pope thought that Columbus had discovered the real India. So, it was a mistake......"
"But the treaty has already been signed!" Manuel I said unrelentingly.
"That was a mistake on the part of His Majesty Alexander VI, and later, didn't His Majesty Alexander VI also allow us to trade in India? Clearly, His Majesty Alexander VI was aware of this mistake...... "Ferdinand II argued.
"But our treaty ......"
"Don't open your mouth and close your mouth to the treaty, it's a wrong treaty signed on the premise of a wrong understanding!" Ferdinand II was impatient with Manuel I and yelled.
"Ahem, it seems like this. I checked the information of the Holy See, and the premise of this treaty at that time was indeed based on Columbus's belief that the wild continent was the real India. "Since Julius II wants to help Spain, he naturally stepped forward to assist.
"I don't care, the area east of the Papal Meridian should be Portuguese!"
"So you mean that all of Europe is yours too? After all, Europe is also east of the Papal Meridian......" Ferdinand II retorted with a sneer.
Manuel I choked for a moment, and then retorted:
"I mean the newly 'discovered' land......"
……
Next, Ferdinand II and Manuel I had a quarrel that lasted for more than an hour. However, both sides insist on their own opinions and ignore the other's opinions.
So, Julius II coughed, and after attracting the attention of both sides, he asked Manuel I:
"Your Majesty Manuel, I remember that when Alexander VI arbitrated the signing of the Treaty of Todesillas, in addition to mistakenly believing that Columbus had discovered India, there was also a very important principle, which was to spread the Gospel of God and expand the influence of the Church."
"Excuse me, how many churches has Portugal built in Africa over the years? And how many blacks have been developed as believers? Also, Portugal has several bases on the Moroccan coast, how many churches have you built and how many believers have you developed there? ”
A series of questions immediately confused Manuel I. How did he know how many churches the Portuguese had built and how many believers they had in Africa? Throughout Portugal, the great voyages were made for trade, not for the sake of spreading the glory of the Lord.
Of course, there are missionaries. However, it was basically done by the churches in Portugal themselves, and the Portuguese authorities did not pay much attention to it. Even the crown prince of the Kingdom of Kongo became a Christian, Manuel I did not know.
"This ...... Probably...... It's a lot......" said Manuel I, uncertain.
"How many are there?" Julius II asked. Julius II was clearly angry at the Portuguese for not paying attention to proselytizing, which was simply disrespectful to the Lord......
"I don't know ......," said Manuel I, dejectedly.
"Officially, it's ridiculous, when Alexander VI told you to pay attention to spreading the gospel of the Lord, I didn't expect it to be taken as a deaf ear by the Portuguese. It seems that not an inch of land is too much to give them......," said Ferdinand II in a non-obtrusive voice.
"You're amazing, how many churches have you built in the Savage Continent? How many believers have been developed? Manuel I said angrily.
"Well, I really know...... Before the outbreak of syphilis, on the island of Hispaniola, we in Spain built a total of 5 churches and developed more than 600 local believers...... "Ferdinand II and Isabella I were both devout Catholics, but they paid attention to the development of religious causes.
"Cut, that's how ...... it"
"Hehe, that's just an island. Unlike you, Portugal, which occupy so much of the west coast of Africa. Excuse me, how many churches have you built, and how many believers have you developed? ”
"Moreover, we have the merit of destroying the pagan kingdom of Granada...... said defiantly.
"Well, it is true that His Majesty Ferdinand and his wife did a great contribution in driving the heretics out of Western Europe. Therefore, both the previous Pope Alexander VI and himself felt that there was no problem for Spain to trade with India...... "Julius II said seriously.
"India is the ...... of Portugal" Manuel I did not give up.
"Who do you think you are? Lord of the World? You can get what you want? Who has said that India must be Portuguese? Which document explicitly says it? ”
"But the arbitration ...... of the previous pope"
"The previous pope also arbitrated, and Spain can go to India to trade!" Ferdinand II said menacingly. For the sake of the windfall profits of the Indian spice trade, he must defeat Portugal today. What's more, the Holy See is still on the side of Spain, which makes him full of confidence.
Suddenly, Manuel I's arrogance was suppressed by Ferdinand II, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while......
