Such a high-profile battle came to an end after a short hour, but it didn't feel anticlimactic.

The appearance of artillery made the Europeans panic, and they realized that the artillery power of the Ming Dynasty not only changed the mode of war, but also made the Ming fleet invincible.

Such a strong fortress could not withstand the bombardment, and the wooden battleships had no possibility of resistance.

Artillery, this is the only one issue that is in everyone's mind.

Of course, if you can get Daming's musket that doesn't need to be ignited and study, no one will let it go.

There is no need to ignite muskets, many people are speculating that if it rains, it will also be able to ignite directly, if so, the muskets of the Ming Dynasty are much more advanced than the muskets that appeared in Europe.

In addition to various goods, Da Ming's weapons have become the most concerned thing for everyone.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care about their respective ideas at this time, and he would not easily leak out the weapon-making technology, so that the West could quickly catch up with the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty.

After the formal surrender of the Portuguese, he quickly gave instructions.

Jin Chun accepted the surrender of the other party on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and Xue Lu led the soldiers of the Young Army, under the leadership of the spies of Yulin Weixue, to quickly occupy various important positions in the fortress.

Yu Linwei chose a suitable place in the fortress to serve as Zhu Zhanji's palace and established a strict protection system. The Ministry of Industry and the Internal Supervisor quickly cooperated to build a new palace for Zhu Zhanji.

And on the flat ground between the two hills of Ceuta, a product display window was established.

At the same time, after accepting the surrender of the Portuguese, Jin Chun also quickly handed over trade letters in Ming script and translations into various languages to some envoys who came to watch the battle.

Although this letter is only a sales letter, it took countless manpower to issue it.

The Ming Dynasty did not have talents who knew the Xiyi language, and the Honglu Temple and the General Administration Department only knew the language of the Great Food.

In the more than half a year that he traveled from Kurumus to Ceuta, although the Ming Dynasty had learned the language of Xiyi from those big food merchants, the oral communication was okay, and the written language ability was much worse.

Because these big food merchants themselves are not particularly proficient in Western languages, most of them also master Latin.

The most important thing to master the Western language is to memorize different words, so when you can't use the languages of various countries to write, writing the national letter in Latin has become the only option.

And if you don't want to be reversed by these big cannibals in this process, or misinterpret the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, you must also establish a screening system.

The screening system was set up by the Ming Dynasty to re-recruit people in Marin, leaving aside the merchants who had been contacted from Kurumus.

The people here are a people like the Moors, who have ruled Spain for hundreds of years, and they may not have mastered the other languages enough, but both Portuguese and Spanish are very proficient.

But this is not enough, because the current tide of the Renaissance in Europe has led to a period of rapid renewal of language and writing.

The languages and scripts of various countries change very much, and unlike Chinese, they do not need to change, what changes is the way they are combined.

Their variation is that they form different words, and many of the words have no connection with the original words at all.

Those language experts in the Ming Dynasty have a somewhat rigid way of thinking, so that they can't get familiar with their set of changes in a short period of time.

However, in any case, today's Da Ming is taking the initiative to understand the outside world, rather than closing the door and caring about what he is outside.

This is the greatest progress in the East!

In the afternoon of the same day, the Portuguese left Ceuta with their weapons, leaving the Ming with an intact fortress.

However, the envoys of various countries who received the credentials did not leave, and were allowed to rest in the port of Ceuta, and the next day they were received by His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to discuss trade matters.

These envoys, who were allowed to stay in the port, cherished this opportunity to get close to the Ming Dynasty, and in their writings, one message after another was recorded.

"My Honourable Majesty, I am sure that this Ming Dynasty is Marco Polo's Golden Country. They were so powerful and rich that even the soldiers could wear soft silk and fine porcelain. Their food is so exquisite, like a work of art, that people can't bear to eat it. However, when you put these foods in your mouth, you will realize that your life is completely wasted, because there are so many beautiful things in life, and we lack the channels and ways to learn and understand. ”

"My dear Mary, when I was sent by the Secretary of State to know the Ming Dynasty, I thought I would lose my life in the face of a fierce enemy. But when I got close to these Ming people, I realized that compared to them, I was a barbarian. Their soldiers were courteous and disciplined, and when they saw us, they tried to refrain from it, but they couldn't help but cover their noses. You can't believe that they have to bathe every day, and even the dirtiest soldiers seem to be purer than saints. Originally, we were proud that we never bathed, but now, the discrimination in their eyes made me feel like the dirtiest pig. ”

"I can't imagine that the other side can build a ship ten times bigger than us, and if we can have such a big ship in Castile, I believe that the sea will not stop us."

"I finally saw the Ming muskets clearly, although I couldn't touch them with my own hands, but I could also see that their muskets were ten times more beautiful than ours, like works of art. Behind the barrel, there was a beak-shaped hammer, which was the secret that the musket did not need to be ignited. If I could study it for a few months, I would be able to make it myself. ”

"Oh my God, what did I see! The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty worked together to build a palace on the top of the mountain in just half a day to transport the wood and the golden tiles from the ship. I couldn't help but feel excited at the thought that tomorrow I would be able to go to that palace to receive their Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson. ”

No matter how shocked the European hillbillies who had never seen the world were, Zhu Zhanji began to issue orders after making sure that Ceuta had arrived.

The main force of the fleet will remain in Ceuta, receive Ceuta, and expand the port and fortress.

The main thing is to send more than 16 missions, each with 10 warships, to various countries to carry trade samples with trade negotiations.

In addition to the Europeans, there were also the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Dynasty, all of which were the objects of the Ming Dynasty's upcoming trade.

In addition to gold and silver, it is also necessary to determine the materials that each country can exchange with the Ming Dynasty.

For example, European horses, wool, Ottoman Empire white paper, etc., are all goods that the Ming Dynasty is willing to want.

European papermaking technology was passed down from the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't know how to use brushes, so Oriental paper was not suitable for them.

But they absorbed the papermaking process of the Tang Dynasty and added starch to make the paper tougher and able to write with a hard pen.

In the East, only expensive rice paper can match the quality of their paper, but the cost is much higher.

Therefore, today's ordinary paper technology, the West has actually walked ahead of the East, and paper can also become a commodity that they are not able to get their hands on, and the Ming Dynasty is willing to ask for.

All the envoys would take these envoys to various countries for liaison, and the national letters were still in the fixed format determined by Zhu Zhanji, written in Ming and Latin.

The trade letter did not place too much emphasis on political status, but only on the economy and free trade, and gave basic prices for various commodities.

The price of all goods is only about half of the selling price in Europe today, but for Daming, it is still dozens of times more profitable.

Only half of the selling price, which means that these luxury goods and necessities of Daming will inevitably usher in a sales peak.

When the Europeans didn't react, make a big profit for them first.

The so-called free trade means that the Ming has the power of free trade, and all countries must open their doors to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty was not unruly, giving a tariff share of 5% of the trade volume, and the more goods traded, the more taxes that the trading country could collect.

Under such mutually beneficial conditions, if you still can't understand Daming's painstaking efforts and are unwilling to trade with Daming, then don't blame Daming for bullying others.

In Zhu Zhanji's plan, European countries should be willing to trade, especially Venice, which was originally founded on commerce, and their economic strength should be the strongest among European countries.

But like the Ottoman Empire, they may not be willing to see the Ming Dynasty abandon them and trade directly with European countries, which directly cuts off their roots!

Therefore, the mission sent to Constantinople was also the largest, and they would go not only to Constantinople, but also to Nilsa, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

In addition to this, a fleet will go to Jerusalem, which is currently under Mamluk rule, which is nominally a free area under Mamluk rule.

This city, originally named after peace, is now the largest sin city.

Dozens of different nationalities live in this city, and most of them are adventurers, spies, and killers.

Saracens, Greeks, Syrians, Armenians, Georgians, Maronies, and Bedouins all claim ownership, and the adherents of the three major denominations claim this as their holy city.

The two ambassadors, as well as the mission to Greece, will be in close contact and will unceremoniously fight back if they are embarrassed.

Although the Ottomans trembled under the iron hooves of Timur, and the kings were taken away and put in cages to be used as monkeys for people to watch, bullying the Europeans was like playing.

A few decades later, they captured Constantinople, brought Byzantium to ruin, and captured Jerusalem, only to be recaptured by the British in the twentieth century.

This country can be called Europe's nightmare, bullying Europe for hundreds of years. It was precisely under their bullying that the Europeans broke off their hope of developing eastward by land, and insisted on developing seafaring and achieving a strong Europe.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji did not want this matter to continue to develop like this, he could not let the Ottomans be so strong, and he wanted to leave a window for the Europeans, so that they would not be forced to venture to the sea.

Zhu Zhanji would rather let the Europeans go to the East by land than let them enter the Age of Discovery.

The Americas and Australia are still left to the Chinese to occupy, which is more in line with the interests of the Chinese.

So, the Ottoman power had to be contained, and the name Constantinople was a little better than Istanbul.

The night after the war was noisy, and the Marin people sent many female ** subordinates to build a chicken village on the border with the mainland southwest of Ceuta.

This chicken village is still under the control of the Malin people, and the Ming soldiers go to enjoy themselves and have to pay according to the agreement, which is also a channel to increase the income of the Marin people.

The Marin people are a branch of the desert Semitic people, belonging to the white race, and their women are very in line with the aesthetics of the Orientals in addition to being a little stinky and a little taller.

Zhu Zhanji can't understand why the current Ming people like to be fat, even if it is a petite and delicate woman, as long as she has a big butt, she is more liked than a tall woman.

Most of Marin's women are relatively fat, so they are especially popular with Ming soldiers.

There are not too many dirty diseases now, and ordinary dirty diseases can be treated in the life of the Ming Dynasty, as for the incurable AIDS, it is a terminal disease that will only appear in the 20th century, and now there is no such thing as none, so Zhu Zhanji does not have heart disease that will affect his combat effectiveness.

Of course, these are just temporary acts, and if you want to reassure the soldiers stationed here, it is most cost-effective to send a woman to each person.

There is a woman, and the Ming soldiers have concern, and they are more willing to protect the land here.

When Zhu Zhanji brought this decision out for discussion, all the armies originally regarded the stationing in Ceuta as a chore, but now they all rushed to stay.

Anyway, there are only three years at most, and if you stay here for three years, you can share a wife, and if you are lucky, when you go back, you will not be alone, but you will go back with your family.

Zhu Zhanji was extremely busy after the war, not only to distribute the merits of the war, but also to set a basic method for the different countermeasures of European countries.

Otherwise, the mission will not be able to grasp the essence of diplomacy, and it will be easy to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

At noon on the second day, a magnificent hall was erected on the eastern peninsula, halfway up the hill near the northwest harbor. At the back of the main hall is a wooden building, forming a large-scale oriental complex.

In this hall, Zhu Zhanji met with envoys from several countries, let them see the strength of the Ming Empire, and let them bring back the news that the Ming Empire came to Europe.

At the same time, missions carrying different tasks were sent to various places. According to the length of the distance, the specific date of trade with each country is brought and the future trade rules will be determined.

This rule, of course, was determined by Da Ming.
