Chapter 809: The Clouds of the Battle at Sea (1)

ZTE's decade has long passed.

The news of the envoys from Britain, Spain and the Netherlands, when the envoys from the three countries arrived in Malacca, also spread to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, at the fastest speed.

Because at the same time as the news was transmitted, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms did not stop sailing, so when Zhu Ci of Nanjing City got the news, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms actually had less than three days to sail from Nanjing City.

The matter of the envoy from the West and the West was expected by Zhu Cihe, and Zhu Ciji was not surprised. It was the Dutch who came to intervene and surprised him a little, but that was all.

It is not difficult to guess the idea of the Dutch, a few years ago was defeated twice by the Ming Dynasty, the Netherlands must not be convinced, and they want to get back to the field, but unfortunately on the Netherlands, they obviously did not have the certainty of defeating the Ming, so this time while the British and the Spaniards sent envoys, they also came, the three countries are one of the top countries in Europe, and the three countries came together to make them think that they were powerful and could subdue the Ming Dynasty.

"Hmph, don't guess, I also know what the Three Kingdoms Yangyi intends to say!" Zhu Ci sneered and said disdainfully.

Daming occupied their colony, just to protest, maybe by the way to threaten Daming, what else can there be. However, none of this will be put in Zhu Ci's eyes, when he conquered the colonies of the Three Kingdoms, he did not put the Three Kingdoms in his eyes at all.

The colony is not the traditional territory of his states and countries, they originally invaded the indigenous people first, and it was only the Ming Dynasty that was stronger when they robbed it.

Moreover, if the Ming Dynasty wants to expand externally, it only cares about where the land is fertile, rich in resources, and close to the Ming Dynasty, but it will not consider whose sphere of influence it is, because the Ming Dynasty is currently qualified to be proud of the world.

"Your Majesty, even if you know the intention of the Three Kingdoms, you still can't slack off in etiquette, so as not to damage the prestige of my Ming Dynasty." Li Yan said.

"That is, I know this, I won't drive them away before I see them, don't worry about this, let the household department arrange it!" Zhu Ci said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yan said.

As a big country and a Shangbang dynasty, although the entire Ming Dynasty called European countries Yangyi, they didn't pay attention to it at all, but since they sent envoys, they still had to see it, which was the basic etiquette!

As Zhu Ciji's will was conveyed, the household department began to arrange the affairs of the envoys from Britain, Spain and the Netherlands.

In the eleventh year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, on May 7, the envoys of Britain, West and the Netherlands entered the mouth of the Yangtze River and prepared to dock in Nanjing City from the Yangtze River channel.

The envoys of Britain, Spain and the Netherlands cannot, of course, be just three envoys.

In fact, each of the three countries sent two warships to escort them, a total of six warships of the three countries, and naturally there were many naval soldiers from the three countries on the warships.

In recent years, Daming commerce and trade have become increasingly developed, as the most important waterway of the Ming River, the merchant ships coming and going on the Yangtze River channel are endless, there are hundreds of ships just in sight, and many of them are big ships that can be navigated.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms and the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms on the six battleships were stunned and couldn't believe that this was true.

You know, the Dutch are known as the coachmen of the sea, and the sea power is the strongest, and the ships of the entire Netherlands together are only 15,000, which is because of all the ships of all sizes combined, and there are only more than 1,000 ships that can really sail to the sea.

Since entering the Strait of Malacca, a large number of warships and merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty have appeared on the surface of the South China Sea, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms have absolute reason to believe that the Ming Dynasty is definitely much more than the Dutch in terms of both large and small ships and ocean-going ships.

This realization undoubtedly put some pressure on the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, but it was only quite a bit of pressure, and it was not enough to make the envoys of the Three Kingdoms afraid and powerless.

In their opinion, the Ming may have a very strong maritime power, but after all, the Ming mainly only operates in regional waters, while their European countries have colonies all over the world and compete in the world's waters.

The Ming may be more powerful than the Dutch sea power, but if the three kingdoms are united, the Ming Dynasty is not an opponent.

Thinking of this, the envoys of the three kingdoms glanced at each other, continuing the arrogance in their expressions.

When they were about to arrive at the city of Nanjing, the general of the Ming army on the battleships of the East China Sea Fleet who was guided shouted to stop the six warships of the three kingdoms and dock on the spot, while the envoys of the three kingdoms would take the ships sent by the household department to dock in the city of Nanjing.

After all, Nanjing City is an important place for the Ming Jingshi, even if there is a confidence that the six warships of the Three Kingdoms will not dare to mess around the city of Nanjing, but the majesty of the Ming Dynasty will never allow any foreign state to threaten the safety of the Ming Jingshi to approach the Daming Jingshi.

",,, our warships won't mess around, why can't we let our warships follow us to the shore in Nanjing City!" The British envoy said.

After the interpreter translated the words of the British envoy to the household officials on the ship, the household officials directly snorted coldly and said: "Give up the warship, and follow me into the waters of Nanjing, otherwise you will leave!" ”

For the sake of majesty, the Ming Dynasty will never allow any compromise in this kind of matter.

Moreover, this household official originally belonged to the kind of stubborn Confucian scholars, and the consciousness of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the minds of the Ming people for thousands of years.

After the words of the household officials were translated, coupled with the stinky faces of the household officials, the faces of the envoys of the three countries were very unsightly.

However, although he was not satisfied, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms sailed to Daming for more than half a year, and of course it was impossible to go back like this.

Our warships are docked here! We will follow you to your capital to meet your emperor! The British envoy was the first to compromise.

The envoys of the other three countries compromised first when they saw the British envoys, and they could only compromise, after all, their ultimate goal was to meet the Ming Emperor first.

Immediately, the envoys of the British, Spanish and Dutch countries and some soldiers of the three countries transferred to the ships of the Hubu, and after a period of sailing, they finally entered the Nanjing waterway and docked at the port of Nanjing.

Nanjing City Port is the most important port in the Yangtze River waterway, a large number of ships are berthed, and the port has a wide cement road, which leads directly to the city of Nanjing, and the road connecting the city of Nanjing.

Stepping on the flat and wide cement road, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were shocked again, and their eyes widened one by one, full of incredulity.

"It's a magical country!" The envoys of the Three Kingdoms had to sigh sincerely, and the pressure in their hearts was undoubtedly a little greater.

Fortunately, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms had not seen the train of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they would have to sigh again.

From the port, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms were sent directly to the city of Nanjing, where they lived in a post house not far from the imperial palace, waiting to meet the Ming Emperor tomorrow.

In the process of waiting and resting, the envoys of the three countries are not allowed to move around at will outside the post house, the Ming Dynasty has just developed less than ten years, Zhu Cijiao also hopes to continue to maintain mystery to European countries, and Zhu Cijiao is also guarding against European countries, maybe when the Ming Dynasty is really far ahead, Zhu Cijiao will let go of these restrictions.
