Chapter 875: Special Envoy (3)

Although she was still on the battlefield, she didn't need to think about time when she wanted to prepare her meal, and under the almost murderous gaze of several female dependents, the nun didn't care about the heroism of her clothes, and enjoyed her dinner generously. She ate with grace and was obviously trained in appearance, but when she put the food in her mouth, she still uncontrollably expressed a hint of satisfaction and then surprise.

"How is this possible? I...... I almost wonder if I'm in the Ming Empire right now, or at a private banquet of some nobleman in Lisbon, and you guys here actually cook Portuguese food. ”

"It's just a little beef and beans, and some fish, it's not a big deal, in Ningbo, there is a merchant from your country, he is proficient in the art of cooking, and now he is used by the Ming court. These dishes are all from his handiwork. It was too late, and the barracks were simple, so we didn't have time to cook the dishes of the Ming Dynasty. The next time the girl comes, I can treat you to Ming Dynasty food. However, this wine is a good wine of our Ming Dynasty, absolutely authentic. Yang Chengzu raised the wine glass in his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Teretti, who also generously drank the wine in the cup.

She closed her eyes and savored the aroma of the wine, "It tastes great, if I have the chance, I will invite you to drink our wine, it will not be worse than your Daming's wine." ”

I believe that. I think as long as everyone puts aside their hatred and lives in peace, there will always be an opportunity to sit down and drink. I will certainly not accept your conditions. Laying down your arms and surrendering unconditionally is the only way out for you, and as for trade, we can discuss it after you lay down your arms. Just for you to protect Feishuang's face, I'll make sure you're okay. ”

"That means the safety of the others can't be guaranteed?"

"This is normal, we are officers and soldiers, and in the castle, there are many pirates, with blood on their hands, and they are all strictly criminals in the yamen. Such a person, after surrendering, will also be handed over to Yousi to be convicted and beheaded. I don't know if your sect has put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, but our Ming court does not recognize this. There are always people who are going to die, don't expect to save them all. ”

"What about missions?" Although the atmosphere has eased, Teretti still refuses to back down: "In our country, the power of the church is greater than you can imagine, and for the church, the significance of mission is far greater than commerce. We need to build churches in Daming so that the Gospel of God can be spread in this country. ”

"What do you believe, it's your business, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of heaven and earth is the greatest, and no one can fight against the emperor. As for the church, if you can be like Buddhism and Taoism, and not compete with the court for power, it's not that you can't consider it. It's a pity that I also have some understanding of the demeanor of your religion, and you have conquered small countries and forced the people of other countries to convert, these things do not look like you can live in harmony with the imperial court. Therefore, what your own people like to believe in is your own business, as far as we are concerned, but if you want to spread in the Ming Dynasty, you have to abide by our rules, such as this war, it is because the church of your country took the lead in provoking the Ming court. Our Lady stepped on the dragon's head, so bold! Even our emperor dare to step on it, that doesn't mean that you have stepped on the head of our Ming Dynasty, this head cannot be stepped on, stepped on the dragon's head, and there is nothing to talk about. ”

Treti had always thought that the reason for this war was that the imperial court had come to regain lost territory, but it was only then that she realized that the reason for the war was actually for a relief that was insignificant in her eyes, and for the first time her face showed an expression of disbelief.

"O merciful God, forgive poor sinners. You're saying that your empire has waged a war for such frivolous things? I have to say that we have a hard time understanding your way of thinking. Also, I must make it clear that the sculpture is not aimed at your emperor or the imperial court, where the dragons are ...... with your dragons."

Yang Chengzu waved his hand to interrupt her words, and pointed to the dining table in front of him, "Please have a nun to eat, in fact, I think it's ridiculous that you dress like this and say that you are a nun." If the church sends a woman like you, dressed like this, to preach, I guarantee that your business will be prosperous, and you will not be a rival to any monks. I don't care what you are, you say you're a nun or a queen, it doesn't make a difference to me. I can't tell if the matter of stepping on the dragon's head has anything to do with our court, it doesn't matter, follow the customs of the locals, and when you go to someone else's land, you have to abide by the rules of someone else's house. If you don't understand, you have to ask, if you don't know, you have to inquire, and once you accidentally violate it, you have to apologize and accept punishment, instead of relying on your big fists and forcing others to abide by your rules. So I don't know what your dragon head means, and I don't care, in Daming, the dragon head can't be stepped on. Tear it down, let's talk about the rest. ”

Teretti shook his head and put down his knife and fork, "It seems that we are destined to not be able to talk tonight?" ”

"Doesn't the nun think that we can talk about such an important matter in just one night? The sky-high asking price, the landing to pay back, whether it is Da Ming, or your Franc machine, I think it is this rule. If we can't talk about it today, we will talk about it next time, and we will stop talking about it. Don't worry, I have time and always welcome nuns here to taste our dishes. Next time, a little better Daming will be entertained for you. ”

Treti wrapped himself tightly in the cloth again, and finally corrected: "I must state that our country is called Portugal, not Franco. ”

"I know. The Franc Machine is the name given to you by the imperial court, and our Son of Heaven has also approved it, so no one else can change it. So it doesn't matter what you call it, in our place, you have to call it Franc Ji, which is the first step to learn the rules, starting from forgetting your name. It's getting late, do you want me to send troops to see you off? ”

"No, I'm sorry to disturb Chincha's rest, and I look forward to seeing you for the second time. Hopefully, by that time, we can reach a consensus on some aspects, and may the Ming Dynasty be friendly with Portugal for generations to come, and be at peace forever. ”

When they parted outside the barracks, Teretti finally took on the appearance of a nun, and her tone was full of compassion, and she bowed and disappeared into the night. Iron Coral couldn't help but mutter, "Vixen, shameless." ”

Yang Chengzu rubbed her head dotingly, "I've become a mother, and I'm still so jealous, it's not good." I will punish you and my mother for accompanying me at night. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm willing to be punished like this." Iron Coral nodded happily, and the mother laughed, "She will be happy, if she is always punished like this, everyone will make mistakes." Husband, I don't look at this foreign woman right, she doesn't look like a nun. ”

"Look at what you said, can a real nun come to this kind of tiger and wolf den? It's not important, the key is that she is willing to come out to talk, she is much smarter than those who still have to defend herself, and such people are still worthy of more contact with us. Originally, I didn't have to take this city, and after a period of encirclement, everyone practiced the artillery skills almost perfectly, and then I could collect the troops, but now, I have changed my mind. ”

He pointed to Leng Feishuang's clothes with his finger, "Feishuang has left us a lot of information, we can't waste her mind, this city must be taken down, and even the trade matter must be negotiated." ”
