In Guangzhou, a world-class city, the appearance of Zhu Changhao's three ironclad warships really deterred those foreign devils. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Macau, Canton Prefecture, there is a church in the lobby, when the ironclad warship anchored in front of Wan Chai Town, and the Henghai division lined up in front of the battle formation, in front of the St. Mari's Church, the Governor of Macau, Marigar Road, with a bald head, led many merchants from Europa to greet him.

Zhu Changhao immediately stepped forward and said to the people in front of him in English, "Oh, friends who have come from afar to the Ming Empire, I am the prince of this empire, Chang Hao Zhu. I didn't come this time to have a conflict with you, I have a lot of wealth to negotiate with you, and I think God will agree to this request, so you have no reason to refuse it, right? Who can't get along with wealth, and I don't think God will forgive anyone who can't get along with wealth, right? My dear friend, won't you invite me to the shore to take a seat? ”

This group of people is in line with the mode of communication in Europa, and it also makes Mali Garu understand that the person in front of him who came on an iron-framed warship turned out to be the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty.

Europa people compared to the Ming people, more snobbish, after all, the Ming Dynasty has always been, there is a sentence in circulation, "the dog's eyes look at people low, the poor can not be moved" and the like, although this sentence is a fig leaf, but sometimes the high-sounding is a kind of prestige, besides, there are such people are not associated with the powerful, to show that they have a backbone.

Zhu Changhao led his 800 guards from Wan Chai Town, as well as Wu Yankai, Liu Zheng, and the royal ladies, to ascend the land of the Ming Dynasty, which is now leased by the Portuguese.

When the guards of guns, uniforms, grenades, and leather boots appeared in the square in front of St. Marie's Cathedral, Zhu Changhao had already walked up to shake hands with Marigar Road and the many Europa merchants.

Later, only one squad of personal guards, that is, twelve people, protected Zhu Changhao and entered the Governor's Mansion of Macau.

After Zhu Changhao took Liu Zheng and Wu Yankai in, he sat down on the sofa in the Governor's Palace, and after a cup of sweetened coffee was served, Liu Zheng and Wu Yankai took a sip and almost vomited. In the palate of the two of them, this coffee is like the feeling of fried noodles when they are fried.

After the two of them forced themselves to swallow it, they were a little surprised when they saw the prince drinking it leisurely. The most surprising thing was Liu Zheng, because in the more than ten years he had been in the palace, Liu Zheng had never seen Zhu Changhao drink coffee, the drink of these barbarians.

Zhu Changhao looked at the questioning eyes of the two of them, and said to them with a smile, "Hehe, this is their Europa tea." It's just that they eat the fruit of the tea leaves, which I call coffee beans. We Ming people don't eat fruits, we just eat leaves. ”

Zhu Changhao explained to Liu and Wu the drink of coffee so irresponsibly, and in Daming, there was no one.

After drinking some coffee, this Mali Garu, as the biggest official of the Governor's Palace, began to speak in English.

Before he said a word, Zhu Changhao immediately asked him to stop, saying that it was better to speak Chinese, after all, in the land of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't speak Chinese, then there is a feeling that the lord is weak and the minister is strong.

In fact, these businessmen in the Governor's Palace of Macau all speak Chinese, but the accent obviously has a Cantonese flavor. In the words of the 21st century, j\q\x and zh\ch\sh are indistinguishable, and when he speaks, there are more tongue curl sounds, but Zhu Changhao can still understand it.

No, a Western-style conversation began.

"Welcome His Royal Highness, the wisest prince of the Ming Kingdom, to my governor's palace, your arrival will definitely bring us great blessings, won't it?" Marigaru said with a smile.

"Yes, God said at Genesis that there would be light, and there would be water, and there would be air. I don't dare to call myself God, but what I can say is that I can give you access to rolling silver, gold, silk, and pottery, and even the invincible firearms of our Great Myojin. Presumably, in South Latin America, you have acquired riches other than God, and now, on the Mediterranean coasts of Spain and Portugal, your kobheads always shine brightly when the sun shines. Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want that? ”

Zhu Changhao's very contagious words made a person named Wald from Franc Ji next to Mali Jia Road say, "Your Royal Highness, I am Wald of Franc Machine, yes, I like the silk and pottery of Daming very much, as well as those exquisite handicrafts, but now the sea route is not smooth, you Daming has a sea merchant of Zheng Zhilong, who has blocked our merchant ships from the merchant ships outside Guangzhou Mansion, we can't land here, let alone trade directly with Ming merchants." ”

Regarding Zheng Zhilong that Wald talked about, Zhu Changhao felt that this person would eventually throw himself into his arms, after all, among the six major naval armies in the palace, the five major naval armies were all ocean-going naval forces, and the ships were strong and the guns were sharp, and Zheng Zhilong was ultimately no match for the Rui Wangfu.

Regarding Wald's dialogue, Zhu Changhao wanted to explain, "Mr. Wald, for the smooth passage of maritime trade routes, our Ming Dynasty is duty-bound, I believe that in the near future, our Ming sailors will go to the Little Western Ocean (Indian Ocean), and also, within the scope of my Daming Sea, your Spain occupied Luzon, this matter has not entered my Ming Dynasty's permission, and when the Ming Dynasty sailors are brought together, they will be recovered." In addition to Spain, you Portugal also have bases in Malacca, Ceylon and other places, and you will not be able to live until I promulgate a permit in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, if you live, there are two situations, one is that your nationality is still in Europa, and you have to pay a certain rental fee every year, and the other is that you can join my Ming nationality, so that you can be exempted from the rental fee. However, in these two cases, the premise is that you must obey the laws of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Before talking about cooperation, Zhu Changhao first talked about his bottom line, which suddenly made the Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch businessmen in front of him become gloomy, especially the Portuguese governor in front of him, whose face was gloomy and about to rain.

The Governor's Mansion was sold in the parlor, and then it became silent, and perhaps such a suffocating atmosphere made everyone uncomfortable, and Wald said, "Your Royal Highness, we will not say anything about the question of asking me to wait for the rent to be paid for this stronghold, but in the future, at the right time, I believe that with the wisdom of His Royal Highness, it will be properly resolved." ”

"Yes, my dear friend, this king also believes that under the light of the Ming Empire, anything that is unreasonable and violates the laws of God and our ceremonial state will eventually melt and disappear without a trace, just like spring snow meets the sun."

After speaking, Zhu Changhao finished his coffee in one gulp, then pointed to the cup to a Governor's Mansion attendant beside him, and said, "This time, in addition to saying the reasonable and legitimate requirements of the Ming Empire, this king will talk about the wealth of our East and West.

I remember that in your country of Spain in Europa, there was a showman named Cervantes who said, 'Heaven does not make inexplicable decisions for no reason.' It makes you give up and wait to give you the best. All the deception, insults, and hurts are just a prelude to the gentle compensation of this world. Those little bits of light will eventually become the blazing light of burning life. Everything was arranged for the best. 'This king believes that the legal requirements of the Ming Empire, making you give up and wait, are in order to give you the best.

Leonardo di Piero da Vinci of Italy said that 'wisdom is the daughter of economics and truth is the daughter of time', so let time prove whether you get the best or not! ”

Zhu Changhao's quotation of the words of the indigenous celebrities of Europa to educate the Europa people has actually won the confrontation between words.

After winning, then take the initiative.

After grasping the initiative, Zhu Changhao was not polite, and said directly to everyone present, "Presumably, everyone came to the East to make a fortune, for gold, silver, jewelry and wealth." Such. We will subdue Zheng Zhilong in the future, and then, our Guangzhou Mansion and Daming's Denglai Mansion, all the seaports around Fujian, will be opened. When the time comes, your merchant ships will be able to reach our docks directly. Then you can sail west, you can sail west, you can do it in Arafahan, in Muscot, in Baghdad, in Damascus, in Alexandria, in Genoa, in Lisbon, in Paris, in London.

You can even go to Mozambique, Mogadishu, and trade with the Bantu. It is believed that they are dark-skinned and very fond of the fine porcelain and silk of the East. Of course, our Ming steel ordnance is also good, you can sell them there. ”

Ma Li Jialu listened to Zhu Changhao's words, and finally determined one point, that is, the Ming Dynasty is going to open up the sea, and the maritime trade routes are about to be opened, and finally the salt and iron monopoly of the Ming Dynasty is no longer restricted.

For Zhu Changhao's words, the businessmen in the Governor's Mansion were very happy, and when they thought of the tens of thousands of miles of routes, so many opportunities to make themselves rich, their hearts suddenly became hot.

On the spot, he signed an order agreement with Zhu Changhao for porcelain, silk, cotton, firearms, and grenades. Of course, Tiger squat artillery and mortars, and incendiary . Bullet, Zhu Changhao will not provide these Europaans, the best things are reserved for himself.

The three major coastal provinces of eastern Guangdong and Fujian are directly affiliated to the north, so Zhu Changhao was starved to open the sea, so that the business of Mawei Shipyard will be better, after all, eastern Guangdong, Fujian has a tradition of doing business at sea since ancient times, besides, which one is stronger in shipbuilding in the Ming Dynasty? Fujian Province Mawei line!

Mawei Shipyard has now been cooperated by the shipyard, the post station, and the royal house to set up a shop called "Mawei Shipyard", and its main business is related to selling ships.

After the incident in Guangzhou was over, Zhu Changhao began to sail eastward, and finally completed his final layout in Fujian.
