Chapter 270: Strange Messengers

Qin Jian sat in the hall, watching the Yangyi people below arguing there, and said in his heart:

What kind of Europa joint envoy, funny, no matter which country's envoy can't fight with his subordinates like this, it's really unseemly, if he Qin Jian is the king, he will never use such a subordinate.

In my heart, I became more and more disdainful of these people.

The hand was shocked and slapped a few times,

"Silence, silence! What kind of system? ”

After the people in the hall calmed down, he said again:

"Who are you and where do you come from? What's the matter with this? ”

After saying these few words, Qin Jian found some feelings of parental officials, and felt a little proud in his heart.

The foreigners in the hall finally calmed down at this time, knew that the business was important, let go of the involvement, and learned to hold their fists and say:

"My lord, my name is Francisco? De Silva? Bella, from Spain, you can call me Francis, I and my companions come from the most powerful countries in Europe, representing the kings of our countries, so you can think that we are the whole of Europe, and we are here to negotiate with you and the king behind you. ”

"Oh, negotiations?"

Qin Jian was keenly aware of the original meaning of this word, the envoy from Spain in front of him should not have a low level of Chinese, and he would not know the original meaning of this word, so the other party came this time with a bad intention!

In addition to Francisco, the other envoys all identified themselves, and what they said was basically the same as Francisco's, Spain, Portugal, England, France, Holland, Florence, Venice, Genoa...... In Qin Jian's cognition, these countries really represent the majority of the forces in Europe.

Francisco and the others also submitted their respective identity documents and supporting materials to Qin Jian, and the more Qin Jian looked at it, the darker his face became—what can these Baiyi countries in the whole of Europe do together?

The only purpose can only be to target some foreign enemy, and the reason behind the fact that these guys are here en masse is self-evident.

Are you here to demonstrate to me Tianzhu?

I didn't expect us to react so quickly before we even thought about it.

Qin Jian squinted at the foreigners in the hall, and already regarded these people as enemies in his heart.

However, since the other party is all envoys from various countries, as well as national credentials, it cannot be dealt with simply.

Although the enemies are so shamelessly united, I, Tianzhu, can't lose face in this kind of thing.

Qin Jian's usual smile appeared on his face and said:

"So since it's a negotiation, what are you here to negotiate?"

As soon as Qin Jian's voice fell, the hall became noisy again, maybe in the feelings of these foreigners, a loud voice represents a powerful handle! He thought maliciously.

"On behalf of King Felipe IV of Spain, I protest against the excavation of canals in Egypt in an attempt to touch the Mediterranean!"

"On behalf of the city-states of Genoa and Venice, we protest against the excavation of the canal here by your country, which is aggressive and we cannot but suspect that the purpose of this canal is to try to invade the Mediterranean! Your country must stop! ”

"Yes, the canal must be stopped, and we think it will endanger peace around the Mediterranean."

……

Everyone, you and I said a word, but Qin Jian heard it very clearly. Originally aimed at this canal?

This surprised Qin Jian a little.

When did the canal become so influential?

Seriously, although everyone thinks that this canal is very important, Qin Jian, as a high-level executive, has not yet attached great importance to the military importance of the canal.

After all, the construction of the Yihe Canal project was originally aimed at connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, and narrowing the distance between Europe and Asia, and everyone mainly valued its commercial utility.

In particular, the Qin family first proposed this project to solve the lack of development of their own territory, and the opening of the commercial channel of the Yihe Canal will make the Qin family a bridge between the East and the West, and develop from the future trade between the East and the West. To lay the foundation for the Tianfang Hou family, this is the original purpose of the old marquis.

Now these foreigners from Europe attach so much importance to this river, which still makes Qin Jian a little surprised.

These foreigners are too sensitive!

Qin Jian carefully observed the faces of the few Yangyi below, well, it's not good, some face blindness, he couldn't see the expressions on the faces of these white people at all.

After thinking about it,

"This, digging the canal is on my country's own land, this, I shouldn't have to come and talk about it, right?"

Qin Jian spoke very slowly, but his tone was extremely firm, and his eyes looked straight at the envoys below.

"No, Lord Governor! You are not right, we have the right to protest against this canal, just as a river passes through two cities, and the city downstream has the right to challenge the city upstream for not being able to punish the downstream by blocking the river, and I must warn the Governor, that this will cause war. ”

Francisco didn't budge either.

His tone was just as tough, looking like it was serious, but he was actually very empty inside.

In fact, only he himself knew that this time everyone had come to negotiate in the name of uniting the nations, and the main ones were them, the city-states from Italy and Spain, who called them the Habsburg royal family of Spain or the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire?

Since he is the emperor, he is responsible for these merchant families of the Italian city-states. Not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor still owes a large sum of money to each of these families.

Yes, that's right, this so-called joint negotiation of various countries was behind the powerful financial power of the Medici family in Florence, which drove this operation, just as Alessandro went to persuade the Count of Phenesia in Byzantium.

Although the other Western countries have begun to pay attention to the East, they are far from the point of personal end. The kings did not really have any desire for the last powerful Eastern Empire.

Francisco: They are trying to scare Tianzhu under the guise of all the great powers of Europe.

If it succeeds, of course, it is the best, if it does not succeed and angers Tianzhu, it will not only be Byzantium and their weak city-states that will bear the flames of war, because at that time, the whole of Europe will be pulled into the water by them.

It will be another great and sacred war, just as it was in the time when all the people of Europe came one after another to save the Holy City, and all peoples, all nations, all peoples would be thrown into it under the sacred banner.

The flame was rekindled in the flames of war, and the faith of the people was rebuilt in blood and sacrifice, so that the light of the Lord could be restored to the earth.
