When Wan Yanliang and Freette looked at each other, they were surprised by each other's youth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Since the rise of Zhou Quan, the heroes of the world have multiplied, which is really amazing!" Wan Yanliang said slowly.

He used Latin.

He was gifted with a great talent for languages, and soon learned to use Latin after arriving in Europa. After hearing this, Fredet said with great interest: "The Zhou Quan you mentioned is the emperor of the Chinese Empire?" ”

"It's him, and if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had a chance to meet here."

"What kind of person is he, I can feel your fear of him." Freette laughed and groaned, "Can Satan be frightened, but he is God himself?" ”

"No, he's worse than God!" Wan Yanliang's eyes were blazing: "Do you know, my uncle, the last emperor of our Dajin, was slightly more majestic than me, but he was beaten and fled for tens of thousands of miles, and in the end he still did not escape, and was brutally killed by his son...... Fried, you have not dealt with him, you do not know his ambitions, his ambitions are not one country, one continent, but the whole world! ”

"I know his ambitions, because he has already appeared in my west, across the sea, in my neighborhood, and that's why I promised you this meeting!" Frerett said.

The news of the appearance of Zhang Shun's fleet in England, he had already gotten, especially the fact that even the castle could not hold up in the explosion, made him aware of the great threat.

"Then we can have a good talk...... Just take this river as the boundary, I want the south, you have to the north, if the Chinese Empire comes to attack, we will join forces. Wan Yanliang pointed to the Danube River in front of him and said.

At this time, the essence of Europa is all on the Mediterranean coast, so Wan Yanliang unceremoniously put forward his own request.

Of course Fredet didn't.

He stared at Wan Yan Liang with an angry look: "I'm sorry, you and the Huaxia Empire are mortal enemies, but I am not, on the contrary, I can deal with you with the Huaxia Empire, the Huaxia people are just interested in doing business, as long as I agree to their business conditions, the whole of Europe will be mine!" ”

Wan Yanliang sneered: "If you really think like this, then you won't be here, and more importantly, ...... I will destroy you and your fragile country before the Chinese people really come! ”

Wan Yanliang has this kind of confidence.

It is true that the great plague had a great impact on him, but because of the great influence of China, the Jin country under his control reacted to the disaster faster and the response measures were far better than those of Europa. These countries are still at the level of feudal lords taking care of themselves, but he has been able to mobilize the power of the entire empire to fight disasters and provide relief.

In terms of post-disaster reconstruction, he was far ahead, Europa, these nobles who had left the monks, priests, and did not even know a word, where did they know anything about civil affairs, but Wan Yanliang cleaned up rivers, dug ditches, built ports, and built schools.

His imperial examination system, the establishment of factories and mines, and the distribution of land to serfs by the nobles made his rule quickly consolidated.

So don't look at the current Jin Guocai has only established a foothold in Europa for a short time, in fact, he can completely mobilize national strength and fight a war with Frerett to destroy the country.

Freret's only advantage over him is that he can easily get the support of the native nobles of Europa, and he can entangle the native nobles together to form an alliance!

"Then why don't you do it?" Freette did ask the question.

"There are two reasons, the first is that I am understaffed, I don't have enough officials to implement my policies...... This is what I learned from Zhou Quan, and even he spent nearly 20 years training officials at all levels before he seized the throne and established himself as the emperor; The second reason is that I don't have enough time, I know it's easy to defeat you, but I'm afraid it will take five to ten years to conquer you...... The Huaxia Empire will not give me so much time, since his vanguard has already appeared in Britain, then it will be seven years for the long and five years for the shortest, and their large army will come! ”

From the words of Wan Yanliang, Freette heard a trace of heaviness and suppressed anger. No matter which king is hunted down and killed like this, he will have such anger.

But Fredet had no sympathy, and as a king, sympathy could only be for his own people, not his enemies.

"So, what can you give?" Freette asked, "As Holy Roman Emperor, I have the rightful authority over the whole Mediterranean, and now that you want to divide the land that belongs to me, what are you willing to pay for it?" ”

"I'm here to negotiate today, and I'm here to declare, I'm willing to give you my friendship, but if you don't accept it, then let the artillery and muskets do the talking."

Wan Yan Liang was tired of haggling with Freret, he finally declared, and then turned to leave. He walked so decisively that Frevice was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and shouted twice after him, but Wan Yanliang didn't look back, but just stopped: "As emperors, our energy shouldn't be wasted on such trivial matters that don't matter to tension!" ”

Frevice watched him leave, his expression a little heavy.

Of course, he hopes to reach an alliance with Wan Yan Liang, even if he tries his best to learn the technology and system of the Jin Kingdom, but the barbaric and ignorant medieval characteristics of Europa, where can it be so easy to sweep away, therefore, his national strength is much inferior to Wan Yan Liang.

And this gap will only grow over time.

But he also wanted to get more out of Wan Yanliang, especially military and industrial technology, such as steelmaking, and the legendary steam engine.

After 20 years of hard work, the best craftsmen of Jin can also hammer out a rudimentary steam engine by hand, which is roughly equivalent to the level of the second generation of steam engines in China, which can be used as mechanical power for factories and mines, but not enough to make trains and ships.

Even so, Fredet coveted it, but Wan Yanliang was very careful to keep it secret, and the craftsmen were detained on an island in the Mediterranean, which was full of forts, and neither Freret's spies nor the spies of Venetian merchants could get close to the island.

After hesitating for a moment, Freette knew that if such an opportunity was not seized, it might not be available in the future. So he raised his voice again and shouted: "Now that I have formed an alliance, I am willing to help convince the Pope to cooperate with Your Excellency!" ”

The so-called persuasion is nothing more than betraying the interests of the pope. A few years ago, this was a great rebellion, but now the European feudal lords, including the Pope, have been beaten to the ground, and the Pope himself would have been taken prisoner if he had not fled to France, and Freret's "admiration" for the Pope had been greatly reduced.

"Then the specific treaty should be discussed by the ministers." Wan Yanliang still has no intention of staying.

He believed that with Fang Hao and Wu Jialiang, he would be able to gain the upper hand when the ministers of the two sides were bargaining.

Wan Yanliang's conjecture was not wrong, because of the Jin State's superiority in national strength, Wu Jialiang and Fang Hao had the advantage at the negotiation table, and after half a year of bargaining, the Jin State signed the Treaty of Lucerne with the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of France, and the United Kingdom equal to Lucerne.

The treaty gave almost all of southern Europe except the Iberian Peninsula to the Golden State, and the price paid by the Golden State was nothing more than the nominal recognition of the status of the Pope and the Church, allowing the nobles and clergy of the European countries to enter the schools of the Golden State, and the European countries had to open their markets to the Golden State.

In dealing with the common threat, the countries agreed to join forces and form a three-in-one alliance with the Pope as the nominal supreme leader, the Jin Emperor as the supreme commander, and the Holy Roman Emperor as the deputy commander, but because of the strong opposition of the British, the covenant did not directly state that the so-called threat referred to the Chinese Empire.

Britain did not want the European continent to be united under a single power, and for it, the ideal state of the continent was one of great powers. If they hadn't seen the horror of the Huaxia Army, they wouldn't have agreed to sign this alliance at all.

However, after Zhang Shun's fleet left, there was no news of the Chinese Empire for a long time, and the British king could only send envoys to participate in the alliance in the face of the alliance between the Jin State and the Holy Roman Empire.

The envoy returned to England, and when he heard the contents of the treaty, the king felt fear in his heart for no reason.

"I don't know if this is a guarantee of Europa's safety, or a clarion call for the Last Judgment of our nations...... Luckily, there is a glimmer of hope for us, and we heard from the people of the Chinese fleet that they are coming from the west, and there is a large continent there, even bigger than Europa - I am going to send a fleet to conquer that continent! ”

Stephen had seen the strength of the Chinese ships, and the fact that Britain was an island nation made him very interested in shipbuilding. Wan Yanliang also knew that his shipbuilding skills were worse than those of Huaxia, but he now concentrated his main resources on the steam engine, and he had no energy to manage shipbuilding, so he also intended to spread his shipbuilding skills, and strive to let these Europa countries find some trouble for Zhou Quan at sea. The two sides hit it off, and he got some shipwrights from Jin Guo - although Jin Guo's shipbuilding technology was far inferior to that of Huaxia, they still mastered such techniques as watertight cabins and compasses, which were enough to be called high-tech in Europa at this time.

This King Stephen is not a very eloquent saint king, but running fast is his specialty, and now he is only playing his specialty.

The price he had to pay was to monitor the movements of the Huaxia Navy in the Atlantic, and provide information to Wan Yanliang and Fredet when necessary.

Zhou Quan did not know the new changes that had taken place in Europe, and at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Lucerne, he and his staff members had drawn up a plan for an expedition to Europa, which might require the mobilization of about 30,000 troops, millions of logistical supplies, and a large amount of money and goods in the national treasury.

He didn't know that his army of about 30,000 would have to face the allied forces of the whole of Europe.
