When the hands turn to eight o'clock, the clock on the outer wall of the top floor of the Ambassador Hotel immediately rings. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe customers in the store are almost all available. Under the arrangement of the relevant staff, sit down in an orderly manner.

Standing on a high place and looking down, you will find that the grand banquet hall of more than 300 square meters on the first floor has nearly 200 tables of banquets. The white tablecloth, the clear spoon, the delicate dishes and chopsticks, and the neatly dressed guests, all show the nobility and atmosphere of the banquet.

Seeing that the guests were ready, Yang Chongcai walked calmly to the lecture stage in the banquet hall. First, he said a bunch of clichés such as welcome, then the peace-loving lies of the Ming Dynasty, followed by the nonsense of hoping that all countries in the world would get along amicably, and finally the empty words of blessing all mankind.

Basically, there is not a single word of truth that works!

A small number of reporters who were admitted to the venue kept taking pictures of Yang Chong while constantly writing down Yang Chong's speech with the tip of their pen. It is estimated that tomorrow's newspaper will definitely publish Yang Chong's original words. At the end, I will also invite some well-known 'literati sao guests' to add a few profound comments and unique insights. And there is also no trace of praise and open and secret greeting.

But it's not about British Ambassador Philip!

At this time, he was skillfully waving his chopsticks, diligently 'extinguishing' the food on the table. Some of the envoys who sat at the same table with him looked at him in amazement. Some of them even discussed it from ear to ear. Obviously, he thinks that Philip's eating appearance does not match his identity!

Magorny sat on the sidelines, his face a little embarrassed. It's just that he didn't persuade Philip, because he knew that Philip was angry!

After all, it was really disgraceful for the Ming Dynasty to arrange them in such a marginal corner, sitting with such a little-known inferior and inferior small country. Magorny, who has always been well-buried, is a little angry.

For this reason, he also solemnly expressed his dissatisfaction to the staff. To his surprise, the staff was so arrogant! Straight to say that this is the arrangement of the superiors, if you are not happy, please go out.

To be honest, Magorny really wanted to take Philip with him, turn around and leave. But as soon as he thought of the importance of the banquet, he endured his anger and sat down patiently. Although the banquet menu is very rich, the dishes are also very tempting. But he was so angry that Da Ming didn't eat a single dish.

By the time it was nearly nine o'clock, the guests had eaten almost enough. The staff collected all the plates in the hall and removed the tables and chairs. A long wooden table is placed around the perimeter with a variety of fruit platters, vegetable salads, desserts, and drinks.

At the same time, soothing music resounded in the banquet hall, but it was the most common banquet in the West. A handsome male waiter and a beautiful female waiter, holding a plate, shuttle. From time to time, guests will be served with drinks and food.

Many envoys also began to gather together in twos and threes, talking about topics of interest. Magorny picked up a glass of red wine from the Ming Dynasty and came to the Siamese envoy. He had waited so long for this moment to come.

"Mr. Ba Song, why are you drinking here alone?" , Magerny and the Siamese envoy asked in a friendly tone at a distance of half a step. The real name of this Siamese messenger was Pa Song. Charampong was one of Rama I's cronies. Being sent to Daming as an ambassador was also the importance that Rama I attached to him.

Because the Siamese people have a surname last and a first name first. And when called, it is generally called by name. That's why Magorny called the word Ba Song.

Seeing Magorny raise his glass, Ba Song didn't like to brush off Magorny's kindness. I touched it lightly and drank it all.

In the meantime, Magorny patiently observed Basson's reaction. Seeing that he had been staring at Zuo Peng, who was chatting happily with the French and American ambassadors, a dazzling look flashed in his eyes. It's just that it's too fast for people to notice.

After a long while, Ba Song responded: "I may not be used to this lively occasion, so I will take a break here." ”。

Magorny nodded in understanding. But in my heart, I scoffed. After all, people like them who are in charge of foreign affairs are best at dealing with people. No matter what occasion you attend, there is no such thing as 'uncomfortable'.

So this is clearly a pretext! But Magorny did not debunk it, but answered in passing: "Oh! I'm not used to it, too! Why don't you go to our British embassy for a few drinks while it's still early? ”。

Ba Song Geran was stunned. Secretly guessing the purpose of the British. Considering that the Ming Dynasty and Britain were not in harmony, they did not dare to get too close to the United Kingdom. I wanted to make excuses. It's just that Magorny obviously thought of his concerns and answered: "Don't worry! On such a lively occasion, Da Ming will not notice you. ”。

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but these words obviously poked Ba Song's pain. Because since the assassination of the Burmese prince, the Ming Dynasty has put pressure on Siam in order to appease Burma. Not only did he order him to expel the Mon people on the border, but he also sent an envoy group with rich gifts to Myanmar to apologize.

Although Daming also said that those Meng people can all move to Daming. As for gifts, it is easy to discuss. But Siam, just wouldn't agree. Of course, this is not how reluctant Siam is to the Mon people. Rather, in the view of Rama I, if Burma's conditions were agreed, Siam's national prestige would be affected. Invisibly, it gives the people a feeling of being inferior to Myanmar.

After all, at the end of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, Siam had bowed to Burma. Later, under the leadership of Zheng Xin, the Burmese army was driven out of Siam. After so many years of development, Siam has become equal to Myanmar, and its national strength is also in the middle of the middle.

Therefore, in no matter whatsoever, we must not bow to Myanmar.

Even if the Burmese prince was assassinated, it was deeply related to Siam. It is impossible to apologize!

It was Siam's toughness that made the Ming Dynasty's mediation seem futile. At the same time, it also made Daming feel very faceless. This has made the Ming deliberately alienate Siam in recent times. The musket cannons that were usually sold to Siam on schedule were also delayed and not sold. The warships made in Siam have also been delayed.

As the ambassador of Siam, Ba Song was rightfully given a cold reception.

Otherwise, according to the arrangement of the previous games, Siam is the second country to appear after the Ming Dynasty. Then there is Myanmar, then there is Portugal.

But when it came time to play, Siam was behind Portugal. Ba Song's face was ugly at that time, because he knew in his heart that this was deliberately done by Da Ming in order to express his dissatisfaction with Siam.

Thinking of this, Ba Song looked at Magorny carefully for a while before he spoke: "Anyway, it's a long night, why not go and have a few drinks?" ”。

With that, the two left the hotel one after the other. Nearly a quarter of an hour later, Philip and the Spanish envoy, General Field, left the hotel. (To be continued.) )
