After discussing the plan to lure the enemy, Zhu Cijiong felt that the layout of the Mughal Empire was almost over, and he was about to wave off the two and go back to the harem to rest, but Shi Weila suddenly said reluctantly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Weichen will not have the opportunity to serve you in the future, and I will let Kong Dede handle the affairs of the Mughal Empire." “

This goods, how does it feel like confessing the last words, Zhu Cijiong asked with a solemn face: "What's wrong?" “

Shi Weila still said with a reluctant face: "Wechen will return to China in a few days, the Duke of Bragança needs help, everyone unanimously recommended Wechen to assist, for the sake of the motherland, Wechen had to leave Daming in pain." “

It's a good thing to do it for a long time, Zhu Cijiong asked with interest, "When are you going to start an incident?" “

When Schvera heard this, he said without concealment: "Spain is secretly reorganizing the Invincible Armada, it is estimated that they are not far from the big war with the anti-Habsburg alliance, as long as the big war is together, they will definitely mobilize their large army to the French border to defend against the attack of the anti-Habsburg alliance, at that time, they will have no army on the Western Front, which is suitable for us to start an incident." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, this is indeed a good opportunity, before you prepare to start an incident, send someone to Valencia to inform Xiao Jiucheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, of the news, and then I will personally go to Europe to mediate for you. “

When Shi Weila heard this, he said excitedly: "The emperor really wants to go to Europe to mediate for us?" “

Zhu Cijiong said angrily: "Of course it's true, were you joking last time?" You don't have any jokes, don't you know this? “

Schvera almost jumped up with excitement, he patted his chest and promised: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we don't plan to kill, we just want to expel all the officials they stationed, after all, we don't want to go to war with Spain." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, that's good, I am going to send the fifty super battleships ordered by Spain over in June, if nothing happens, it should be able to arrive in Spain in September, you should hurry up and prepare." “

When Schvera heard this, his eyes showed a light of hope, and he trembled slightly, there is hope for the restoration of the country, there is hope for the restoration of the country! At most, half a year away, Portugal will be restored!

The goods swayed for a while, and suddenly said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, we want to order a batch of weapons from the Ming Empire." “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he glanced at this goods inexplicably, buy weapons when you buy weapons, what is there to be embarrassed about, when did Daming refuse the request of the allies to buy weapons, but sometimes it is necessary to discuss the quantity, he estimates that Portugal will not buy too many weapons, because their population is only that, so he said generously: "How much you need, I will give you half the price, it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to celebrate your recovery." “

Schvera thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, we need 50,000 flintlock pistols, 50,000 grenades, 500 artillery pieces, and, more"

Zhu Cijiong will pretend to be generous, this weapon is nothing, although it has earned more than 10 million taels less, but it can make the alliance between the two countries stronger, and it is not a loss.

Seeing Svera's stumbling appearance, he couldn't help urging: "What else?" Say, are you afraid that I won't sell it to you? “

When Schvera heard this, he plucked up his courage and said: "We also want to order a batch of super battleships from Daming. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, it was a super battleship again, Da Ming himself was not good enough!

He asked angrily: "Why do you want super battleships, do you still want to compete with the European powers for colonies?" This idea is a bit unrealistic, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to sell too many super battleships to you, give up this idea, it would be good if you could hold the existing colonies. “

Schvila hurriedly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, we don't want to compete for colonies with the European powers, we just want to slowly transport the wealth of the Americas back to China, now the shipping lanes from the Americas to the European continent are too unsafe, there are many pirates, and the armed merchant ships and even the navy of the great powers don't pay much attention to the rules, if there is no super battleship escort, even if we disguise the treasure ship as a merchant ship, it is useless, we will definitely be robbed!" “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he asked in surprise: "There is still such a thing?" Even if you rob the colonies, do they also rob the merchant ships? How else is this business doing! “

Shi Weila said helplessly: "In the vast sea, whoever can talk about the rules, whoever has a big fist, is the rule." The reason why they were able to force Spain to negotiate peace was because they could unite to intercept Spain's merchant ships and treasure ships, and then the wealth of the Americas could not be transported back to the mainland, and Spain would not be finished! “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, this is a bit reasonable, let's say, how many super battleships do you need?" “

Schvera eagerly said: "If there are twenty super battleships that can form a certain deterrent, as long as they do not send out the navy, there is basically no danger; If they could have fifty super battleships, they would be jealous, and as long as they didn't take the initiative to provoke them, they should not be able to rob Portuguese merchant ships again. “

Fifty ships, fifty ships, Zhu Cijiong's heart was dripping blood, but he still hoped that Portugal could develop and help the Ming Dynasty contain the European powers and even Spain, after a little thought, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, at the end of the year, the Ming Dynasty will provide you with fifty super battleships." “

Hearing this, Schvera was ecstatic and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, you are so generous, how much does it cost to have fifty super battleships, we will get it together as soon as possible." “

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Forget it, you have just returned to the country, there are many places to use money, even if you calculate half the price, fifty super battleships will need 100 million taels of silver, you take out so much money at one time, how can you still have money to develop, don't pay for this 100 million taels with gold and silver, replace it with other things." “

When Shi Weila heard this, his eyes were moist, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire was simply too good to them, and even the future development was considered for them, he was moved: "Your Majesty, what do you need, as long as we have it, you just say." “

What is the most valuable thing at this time, of course, it is a colony, Schvera is ready to give up a colony, this he really did the master, because the Duke of Bragança has given him full authorization, and the Duke of Bragança said that as long as he can buy a super battleship from Daming, even if he can sell one or two colonies, he will not hesitate!

Schvera also understood why the Duke of Bragança was so anxious, because if there were no super battleships, the shipping lanes between Portugal and all the colonies could be cut off by the powers at any time, and if the wealth of the colonies could not be transported back to the mainland, what difference would it be from not having a colony, and exchanging one or two colonies for the wealth of all the colonies would not be a loss at all!

Zhu Cijiong also wants colonies, but he doesn't want to take advantage of the danger of others, if he takes the opportunity to ask Portugal for one or two colonies at this time, they will give it, but this alliance will bury a rift, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he still gave up asking for the colony, but continued to say generously: "Then replace it with copper ore, I heard that the Americas are rich in copper ore, and now Daming is making copper wire and copper coins, and the consumption of copper ore is very large, you provide Daming with 1,000 tons of copper ore every month, and the supply will be ten years, in addition, you will lease a port city in Portugal to Daming, and I will use this as an excuse to go to Europe to help you mediate." “

Shi Weila was grateful when he heard this, copper mines or something are really not very valuable to them, just take the natives to dig it, as for the port, didn't Portugal lease a Macau in Daming, and it is not too much for Daming to lease a port in Portugal!

In the end, he choked up with tears: "Your Majesty, we in Portugal will never forget your help. “
