Sailing along the east coast of America, it did not take too long to reach Rio de Janeiro from New Chang'an, and Sun Yuzhi's fleet quickly reached its destination. Theodosio, Duke of Bragança, who had already moved here, was now the new King of Portugal, and is still called Portugal here. King Theodosio is mobilizing a large number of craftsmen to build his palace, no matter how difficult it is, the dignity of the past is still necessary, and even if there is a shortage of labor, people still support the construction of this palace, but the progress is a little slower.

King Theodosio was very happy with Sun Yuzhi's arrival, after all, Sun Yuzhi helped a lot in this matter, he was still a little grateful in his heart, the environment here is much better than the original, fertile land, rich natural resources, compared to that small place in Europe, it is not a star and a half, he is very satisfied with this place, and he got carried away, and also revealed some unknown secrets, so that Sun Yuzhi saw some crises.

Judging from the current situation, the speed of Portuguese immigration to South America is very fast, and the original plan was to just let the people of the Kingdom of Portugal move over, but I didn't expect that there are many Spanish people who also migrated with it, but the premise is that they must swear allegiance to Theodosio, the new king of Portugal, which is also discussed between Philip III and Theodosio, anyway, for many people, it is still a king, no matter who the allegiance is, it is not a big problem, so that the immigration has rapidly increased to about 1.5 million. When Sun Yuzhi heard this, he immediately thought that he must continue to increase the number of immigrants to New Chang'an, at least 500,000 people, and with the help of similar skin color, it was possible to gain a firm foothold here.

Sun Yuzhi explained the reason to King Theodosio, and suggested that Theodosio accept these seven or eight thousand Spanish arms, because of the state of the two countries, although Theodosio is the military commander of Portugal, his troops are not too much, plus this relocation, Portugal's military strength is now the weakest, with a military force, Theodosio can quickly deal with some unstable factors, not to mention that this army also has a lot of weapons of the Ming Dynasty. As if it was a suggestion in the snow, Theodosio was naturally very excited, and he immediately summoned López and Pilar.

In his study, Theodosio had a long talk with Sun Yuzhi, López, and Pilar, and Sun Yuzhi said to López: "Mr. López, I have recommended you two to His Majesty the King, and His Majesty is very happy and hopes that you can cooperate successfully. You should negotiate the specific conditions and methods yourself, because this is related to your vital interests in the future, and it is best to sign an agreement. ”

Theodosio followed Sun Yuzhi's words and continued: "You are very welcome to Portugal, if you are willing to become Portuguese citizens, I will confer the title of two counts, I wonder what you think?" If you have other requirements, you can also put them forward, and we will discuss. ”

Sun Yuzhi was puzzled by Theodosio's straightforward way of making a wish, in Daming it was not so direct, there was no such face-to-face way of talking, most of them were slowly talked, I don't know how these two people coped, maybe the conversation would collapse all of a sudden, and this opportunity would be lost.

Unexpectedly, this time Sun Yuzhi misjudged, López was a little hesitant, but Pilar showed an impatient look on his face. López said: "I am very grateful for His Majesty's kindness, but we are still Spanish officials, can we have two nationalities?" ”

Theodosio was stunned for a moment and said, "You can have two nationalities, but I don't recommend that you do that, because if there is a conflict of interest between the two countries, it will be very difficult for you to be caught in the middle." Of course, if you really plan to do that, I won't care. ”

He said he didn't care, but Theodosio's face was still a little unhappy. López continued: "My family has the title of Count of Spain and wants to get a higher title, I wonder if His Majesty the King can give me a higher title and let me give up the Spanish title?"

"No problem." Theodosio replied simply, "As long as you can prove that your abilities can match the duke's, I will not be stingy with my title." Mr. Pilar, do you have any requirements? ”

Pilar knew that his ability was definitely inferior to López, so he simply said: "If we have any higher conditions, I will be very satisfied, Count, the only condition is to always follow Mr. López's side and serve His Majesty the King, may Your Majesty allow it." ”

Pilar's words are very meaningful, and this sentence contains two meanings, the first is not to offend López, and the second is to be willing to be loyal to His Majesty the King, and both of them have been comforted.

López said: "Your Majesty, I think what you need most now is to protect the safety of the people who have migrated here from the European mainland, and now I will take over this task, if you have warships, allocate me twenty-five, and I will lead my subordinates to escort your people, and will mercilessly fight against all pirates with bad ideas, and safeguard the maritime interests of the Kingdom of Portugal." ”

Theodosio was immediately moved by López's words, and Dolopes said: "Duke López, I will appoint you as the commander of the Atlantic escort fleet now, and I will immediately allocate you twenty-five warships, or Philip III just got it from the Dutch, I hope you will fulfill your promise." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I, Valdo López, will always be your most loyal courtier, and will give everything I have for the good of the King and Portugal, may Your Majesty be well!"

Fuck you, that's a successful negotiation, and it doesn't look like there's anything going on with yourself. Sun Yuzhi couldn't stop slandering in his heart, this pure slap is a face-to-face slap in the face, but it's okay, although he didn't send López to Florida, it's also good to be loyal to Portugal here, which is also better than making trouble in New Chang'an.

Seeing that they had successfully negotiated, and basically had nothing to do with themselves, Sun Yuzhi was about to leave, but Theodosio stopped him, Theodosio smiled and said to Sun Yuzhi: "Mr. Sun, don't go yet, you sent me a fierce horse, or a horse, but you also have to give me a rein, a whip, what if I can't control this horse?" How about Mr. Sun please leave some better weapons? I can grant you a knighthood or a piece of land, but I can't take all that much of a place that is so big anyway. ”

Sun Yu thought about it for a while, which was a good idea, so he said: "Then so be it, López and Pilar will help you escort the immigrant fleet, and I will help you drive away the French and Italians in the south of the continent, so that they can leave South America, and in the future, South America will be the territory of Spain, Portugal and the Ming Dynasty, and we will live in peace with the local natives, develop the local economy as much as possible, and give them a certain social status." As for the place you intend to give me, I will need to go back and consult with His Majesty the Emperor before I can decide. Weapons and other things have to be decided after consulting His Majesty the Emperor, I will stay here and help you for the time being, and those armed merchant ships will let them go back, by the way, please ask Your Majesty, and when there is news, we will discuss these issues. ”

Theodosio knows that there are some things that Sun Yuzhi will never dare to call the shots, according to his usual contact, he knows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a very shrewd person, just a few years after he ascended the throne, he has made the Ming Dynasty turn upside down, if he can have a good relationship with this emperor, then Portugal will rise again here is just around the corner, this is a very good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Theodosio immediately said to Sun Yuzhi: "Mr. Sun, I very much hope to make friends with His Majesty the Emperor of your country, I will immediately ask someone to prepare some gifts, please bring them to the Emperor of your country, and it will be regarded as a little reward for you." ”

Sun Yuzhi thanked him repeatedly, and promised to immediately write a recital to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, saying a lot of good things, and trying to help Theodosio get the greatest benefits, which made Theodosio very happy, so he gave Sun Yuzhi some gifts by the way.
