The envoys of the British, Western and Dutch countries were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the Ming Dynasty not only did not allow their warships to dock at the port of Nanjing, but also restricted their freedom after entering Nanjing, and protested to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites many times. net

It is a pity that the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites regarded the European countries as barbarians at all, and did not pay attention to the protests of the envoys of the three countries at all, which also made the protests of the envoys of the three countries not have any effect.

Ay! It is still the arrogance of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, even if the European countries are actually not bad, and even the signs of extreme threat to China, the arrogance of the people of the Chinese people in the Shangbang Dynasty is still deep-rooted.

This may be a manifestation of arrogance and ignorance, and if Huaxia stagnates, such arrogance and ignorance will inevitably bring disastrous consequences to Huaxia in the future.

However, today, China has not stood still, and it has once again left behind European countries with a fast degree. This also makes this arrogance and ignorance of the Chinese people not only not bring disastrous consequences to China in the future, but will evolve into the self-confidence of the Chinese nation that goes deep into the bone marrow and despises the world.

And no matter what, such contempt and atmosphere are determined by the status of the Shangbang Dynasty in China for thousands of years, even if Zhu Ci wants to change, it is extremely difficult! What's more, Zhu Ciji didn't want to change such an atmosphere.

The next morning, Zhu Ci summoned three envoys from Yingxihe in the Jinluan Palace.

"The envoy of the Three Kingdoms enters the palace!"

Because Zhu Ci of the early dynasty and the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty discussed the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty before letting the envoys of the British, Western and Dutch countries enter the palace, for such a long time, the envoys of the three kingdoms have been waiting impatiently outside the palace.

Dissatisfaction has always filled their hearts, and they feel that they have been neglected.

Although the Anglo-Spanish and Dutch countries were not territorially large, they had their own colonies all over the world. The Ming Dynasty had the idea of the Shangbang Dynasty, and the British, Western and Dutch countries competed all over the world, competing for colonies, bullying and slaughtering the natives, and after so many years, the Three Kingdoms also established their own arrogance, even in the face of the Ming Dynasty, they did not feel that their country was inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

"See His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" After the envoys of the Three Kingdoms entered the hall, they suppressed the dissatisfaction in their hearts, put one hand on their chests and bowed to Zhu Ci.

Above, Zhu Ci nodded lightly, indicating that he had received the salute.

The Ming Dynasty has always been extremely tolerant of foreign envoys, and this time Zhu Ciji didn't want to force the Three Kingdoms from the beginning, so he didn't force them to kneel, and then waited for the envoys of the Three Kingdoms to say something to react.

The British envoy was the first to stand up and saluted Zhu Ci again:

"On behalf of our noble Queen of England, I would like to greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty first!"

"On behalf of our great Dutch King, I also greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" The Dutch envoy then said.

"I, the envoy of the Spanish Empire, greet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" The most arrogant is still the Spaniards, Britain and the Netherlands did not use the words of the empire to speak, as soon as the Spanish envoy opened his mouth, it was the Spanish Empire, the British envoy and the Dutch envoy finally moved out their own queen and king, and the Spanish envoy directly represented himself, extremely arrogant.

After the translator translated the words of the Spanish envoy, not only Zhu Ci frowned slightly, but the surrounding civil and military officials looked dissatisfied.

"Spanish barbarian arrogance!" An old minister snorted coldly with anger, flicked his cuffs and turned his head away.

"The barbarians are too arrogant, they are really barbarians" Other officials also expressed their anger one by one, not only looking at the Spanish envoys, but also looking at the envoys of the Three Kingdoms whose eyes were full of unkindness. Such an idea is the consensus of most officials, in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is ordinary people or officials, almost all stubbornly believe that the emperor can only be used by the Ming Dynasty, and many so-called imperial titles on the map made them very uncomfortable, and now the Spanish envoys actually call the word empire in front of the great emperor and their faces, and the attitude of the Spanish envoys to speak, no wonder they are angry.

Are there more eunuchs, ready to stand up and scold.

Although Zhu Ciji frowned slightly, he didn't bother to care about such a small matter, so he stopped and suppressed the eunuch who was about to scold.

"The envoys of the Three Kingdoms came to Daming from thousands of miles away, I don't know why?" Zhu Ci asked lightly.

The interpreter arranged by the Ministry of Rites immediately translated Zhu Cijiao's words to the envoys of the Three Kingdoms.

It was the British envoy who spoke first.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our Queen of England wants to ask why the Ming Dynasty invaded my Australian colony of England for no reason, this is not right, our Queen hopes that the Ming Dynasty can return the Australian colony!"

The British envoy was a little polite and his attitude was acceptable, but the Spanish envoy still maintained his arrogance just now.

"Da Ming rudely invaded the Luzon colony of our Spanish Empire, this is the most serious provocation to my Spanish Empire, I hope Da Ming will give up this provocation, return the Luzon colony of my Spanish Empire, and apologize to my Spanish Empire!" The tone of the Spanish envoy was rather forceful.

Although Spain has declined in recent decades, Britain and the Netherlands do not talk about them, but the Spaniards are still obsessed with the strength and glory of the Spanish Empire, and they are arrogant to everyone, and they are also arrogant to the Ming Dynasty.

The Dutch envoy was the last to speak.

"Our great Dutch king also demands that the Ming return the Indonesian colony!" The Dutch envoy also said quite forcefully.

A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Dutch fleet twice, recovered and Taiwan Island and occupied the Indonesian archipelago, which has always been the heart disease of the Netherlands, and the idea of recapturing the Indonesian archipelago has never been broken in the Netherlands.

When their words were translated again, the officials became even more angry, especially when they looked at the Spanish envoys. The Spanish barbarians, repeatedly provoked the Ming Dynasty, falsely claimed the empire, and even said that the Ming Dynasty provoked him Spain, and even asked the Ming to apologize to him for the Spanish barbarians, arrogant, too arrogant.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms also saw the anger of the civil and military officials, but they didn't take it to heart, and the Three Kingdoms came together, which finally gave them enough confidence.

"It turns out that the envoys of the Three Kingdoms came to Daming for this? Then I can tell you that the places you mentioned are now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to return them to you. Moreover, Luzon and Indonesia were the first to live in a large number of Han people who migrated from the Central Plains, and it was you who invaded Luzon and Indonesia and killed the Han people above, and the Ming Dynasty just took it back, not the so-called invasion! Then there is Australia, which originally belonged to the local indigenous people, not British territory, and the Ming Dynasty occupied it, which is also not an invasion! Zhu Ci said lightly.

The intention of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Ci had already guessed it, and now it was exactly what he expected. However, if the three countries want to return to Luzon and the Indonesian archipelago and Australia, it is naturally absolutely impossible, how can Zhu Ci vomit out what he eats.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, it is not the traditional territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is the first occupied by our Three Kingdoms, and it should be owned by our Three Kingdoms, God witnesses, the Ming Dynasty should be returned!" The Dutch envoy said.

"Really? But as far as I know, there was originally my Ming Han ancestors immigrants first, and now it is still occupied by my Ming Dynasty, I take it for granted that it was originally my Ming territory, since it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as returning or not returning, this kind of thing, I hope that the envoys of the Three Kingdoms will not mention it again, if the envoys of the Three Kingdoms have nothing to do, they can go back. Zhu Ci said lightly.

Just two words of explanation, since it is impossible to compromise half a point, Zhu Ci didn't have the time to continue to rip off, and he was about to send off the guests.

However, after finishing speaking, Zhu Ci immediately stared at the envoy of the Three Kingdoms lightly, he had a feeling that it was impossible for the envoy of the Three Kingdoms to leave like this.

Sure enough, after listening to the translator's words, the Spanish envoy said angrily: "Da Ming is so provocative, refusing to return and apologize, is it preparing for war with the invincible armada of our Spanish Empire?" ”

At this point, the Spanish envoy could not help but speak of the threat of war.

"That's it, if Da Ming refuses to return and apologize, our great Dutch fleet will never let Da Ming go!" The Dutch envoy followed suit with threatening words.

In recent years, the Netherlands originally had the intention of sending a larger fleet to defeat the Ming Dynasty and recapture the Indonesian archipelago, and now the Spanish envoy was the first to express his position.

After the statement, the envoys of the two countries also looked at the British envoys.

The three countries came in groups, the Netherlands and Spain both expressed their positions, and the British envoys could not back down, so they immediately stood up and expressed their positions.

"Daming refuses to return Australia, and my England fleet is always ready to leave for Daming!" The British envoy also said strongly.

The envoys of the three kingdoms all said the words of starting a war, and the atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall suddenly became strange.

"Barbarian arrogance! Sin deserves death! An old minister stood up angrily, pointed at the envoy of the Three Kingdoms and scolded, and then said to Zhu Cihe: "Your Majesty, the barbarians of the Three Kingdoms are so arrogant, don't take me in your eyes, and beg the emperor to expel the barbarians of the Three Kingdoms immediately!" ”

"The barbarians are arrogant, I implore the emperor to expel the barbarians of the Three Kingdoms immediately!" Many officials also stood up and said angrily.
