Volume 15 Chapter 30 Establishing a New Pattern

Spain and Portugal attached great importance to the expansion of the alliance proposed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and João IV sent Zhu Cijiong's old acquaintance, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Count Svera, and Philip IV sent the second person in Spain, the Auxiliary Minister Duke Useda.

The Duke of Useda was also a well-known nobleman in Europe, and his family originated in the 14th century from Diego, Count of Castellogritz. Gomez, whose father was the Duke of Lehrman, once held the seal of Philip III, and the power leaned towards the Spanish government and the opposition!

As for the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire sent Suiman Pasha, who had a faint tendency to become His Majesty's number one confidant, while the Holy Roman Empire sent the younger brother of His Majesty Emperor Ferdinand III, the new Archduke of Austria, Leopold. Duke William.

His Majesty Zhu Cijiong, the emperor of the Ming Empire, as the organizer of this meeting, was particularly active, and he even sent the generalissimo Zheng Chenggong to lead the fleet of the Nanyang Naval Division to the European continent to greet the envoys of various countries.

Of course, since the opening of the Eurasian Canal, this sea route has not been so far, Zheng Chenggong set off from Xingcheng Port and arrived at the Mediterranean Sea in less than ten days.

Coincidentally, Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire were all on the Mediterranean coast, and Portugal also had a train with Spain.

In less than ten days, Zheng Chenggong received the envoys of the four countries and began to sail back, and when he returned to Xingcheng Port, it didn't take more than a month.

When he arrived at Xingcheng Port, Zheng Zhilong, the king of Zhennan of the Ming Empire, joined the welcoming team and personally accompanied the envoys of various countries to the capital of the Ming Empire.

This Zheng Zhilong is also a strange thing, he actually let the Zhennan King follow behind the Chenggong, and he himself ran to the Chenggong to eat and drink, chatting and farting with the envoys of various countries, completely looking like a follower, Zheng Chenggong seems to have become the protagonist of the team.

Is the Generalissimo bigger than the prince? Of course not, now Zheng Chenggong's grade is just the same grade, not even a duke, let alone a prince, but Zheng Zhilong has habitually regarded Zheng Chenggong as the protagonist of the Zheng family, and subconsciously regarded himself as a supporting role.

However, this is just a private matter between their father and son, and the people in the envoys did not pay attention to these, they paid attention to the navy of the Ming Empire, and even Shi Vera and Su Yiman, who were more familiar with the Ming Empire, were amazed by the officially equipped Nanyang naval division, not to mention Useda and Leopold, who saw the naval strength of the Ming Empire for the first time.

What is the concept of two hundred super battleships, such a strength is enough to compete with any of their navies, the problem is that this is only one of the five conventional fleets of the Ming Empire, if all five fleets are gathered together, what a terrifying force it is, such a powerful ally, even they can't help but be proud of it.

The speed of the steamer was extremely fast, and it was only four or five days from Xingcheng Harbor to Dongdaying, and at this time, the Beiyang Naval Division and the Beihai Fleet had already lined up to meet each other on the sea outside Dongdaying.

However, the envoys of various countries have not yet woken up from the shock brought by the navy of the Ming Empire, and the majesty of the army of the Ming Empire is displayed in front of them again.

In order to welcome the envoys of various countries, Zhu Cijiong specially sent Generalissimo Lu Xiangsheng to lead the Tianxiong Army to accompany the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Xinwang Zhu Youzhen to put on a grand welcome scene in Dongdaying Xingang, plus the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard Army originally stationed in Dongdaying, there were 200,000 soldiers of the Ming Empire Army gathered around the port alone!

What is the concept of the 200,000 army gathered together, and the phalanxes one by one, also give people the feeling that they can't see the end at a glance.

Among the countries, except for the Ottoman Empire, it is very difficult for other countries to gather 200,000 troops at a time, but the Ming Empire, just to welcome the envoys of various countries, transferred 200,000 troops, and the sophisticated equipment and uniform formation all show this, this is definitely an elite division.

You can casually transfer 200,000 elite divisions, who can match this kind of momentum!

Of course, these are not things that Zhu Cijiong deliberately arranged to shock them, and the real shocking thing is still to come.

After the envoys arrived in the capital of the Ming Empire, Zhu Cijiong did not immediately arrange for an alliance meeting, but asked the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the heads of the royal companies to give a few days of lessons to the envoys of various countries, including the envoys of the vassal states!

That's right, it's the class, and all the lectures revolve around one core, that is, "building a new pattern of the world"!

The lecture class is located in the auditorium of the newly built Daming Business College, and the auditorium can actually accommodate more than 200 people, because there is no microphone in this era, and there is no audio-visual equipment.

Zhu Cijiong drew on the experience of later generations of meetings and placed a triangular sign on the table in front of each seat, marking the names of the participants in Chinese characters and various languages, so that they did not have to waste time for mutual humility.

Sitting in the middle of the first row is the Prime Minister of the Ming Empire, Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, on his left is Zheng Zhilong, the Governor of Nanyang, the King of Zhennan, on the right, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Zhu Guogong Xu Guangqi, and then Useda, Leopold, Schwila and Suyiman, Generalissimo Lu Xiangsheng and Generalissimo Zheng Chenggong accompany the left and right seats.

For such an arrangement in the first row, the envoys of various countries have no opinions, not to mention Zheng Zhilong and Xu Guangqi, in their opinion, Lu Xiangsheng and Zheng Chenggong have much higher status than them, those two can command hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops at every turn, who can have so much power among the envoys of various countries here!

The first row was not full, but the last ten rows were all full, but the envoys of various countries and the envoys of the vassal states were seated together, and the order was not arranged much.

Isn't this talking? How to arrange such a place, is it to let everyone enjoy the famous "drama" of the Ming Empire first?

Just when the envoys of various countries and vassal states were not clear, Bi Maokang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Empire, stepped forward and slowly opened the curtain on the front wall, and a huge world map appeared on the wall!

This was drawn by Zhu Cijiong according to the memories of later generations combined with the current territory, and the effect is naturally much more accurate than the current maps of various countries.

Such a detailed world map is shocking enough, but next, Bi Maokang's words are even more shocking, I saw him pick up the ash pole on the wall, point to the world map on the wall, and say aloud: "Everyone, the next thing I want to talk about is to establish a new pattern of the world!" “
