Nothing major was going on in the court, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse focused all his energies on negotiating with the Portuguese and Spaniards. For this matter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very concerned.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse received the Portuguese envoy, and for the Portuguese who couldn't wait, this opportunity must be seized. Rare is ready for everything, confident that he will be able to deal with any questions from the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Two envoys, I already know your request, now please explain it in detail!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the two Portuguese envoys with a smile, and his tone was very consistent, which was easy to make people feel good.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we have come all the way from afar, just hoping to get help from the Ming Dynasty. In my country, the flames of war are burning, and the brutal Spaniards have taken over our country. We, the people who are wandering overseas, are always thinking about restoring the glory of the motherland. Riel's face was very sad, it wasn't that he pretended to be it, after all, Portugal was occupying it at this time, and his words were naturally from the bottom of his heart.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also showed a sympathetic look on his face, and said, "Force cannot make people submit, what can make people submit is always justice." I sympathize with your plight, but your country is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. There is a saying in Daming that the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, I don't know if the two envoys have heard of it? ”

Unlike Riel, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is simply acting, and for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, whether it is Portugal or Spain, it is a potential enemy. The most important thing is to be able to make profits and catch up with the pace of the maritime era as soon as possible.

As for the Spaniards, the Spaniards, or even the Dutch, it would be better if the human head was beaten into a dog's head! However, there is still a posture that should be there, but there are no substantive conditions to be promised.

"Dear Emperor Your Majesty, we very much hope to be able to help the Ming Dynasty, but His Majesty the Emperor has misunderstood. We did not expect the Emperor to send troops directly to Portugal. The shame needs to be washed away by ourselves, and blood donation can wash the shame away, and we will try to do it! Riel's face flashed with hatred, and at the same time, he seemed to be full of gratitude to the Emperor of the Apocalypse. As for whether it's true or not, only God knows.

"I wonder if there's anything the envoy wants me to help with? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven and etiquette, if I can help, I will definitely help. The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Riel with a smile, a warm-hearted look.

That's pretty much the, and Riel knows it's time to get down to business! Although the emperor in front of him was young, Riel knew that this was a very difficult person to deal with. Through such a long period of contact with the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Rare discovers that they don't know much about overseas.

In the mainstream view of the Ming Dynasty, only the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the rest of the places are barbarians. The kind of contempt that comes from the bones makes them very disdainful of being with foreign barbarians. I originally thought that this emperor would be the same, as long as his attitude was lowered. You should be able to get the help of the Ming Dynasty. But now that Riel has put this idea away, he still needs to use practical benefits to convince His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I heard that Your Majesty intends to start maritime trade, and Portugal has some experience in this area, but it cooperates with the Ming Dynasty. It is important to know that maritime trade requires ships, and ships that can sail to the ocean are very important. At the same time, it is necessary to have people who understand geography. We hope to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor, to be able to build warships together and go to sea to do business together. "Riel really hopes that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is an emperor of great talent, as long as this emperor's interest in maritime trade is aroused, Riel believes that his opportunity will come.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse's interest in sea trade does not need to be seduced by Riel, it exists from the deepest part of his heart. For a traverser. If you don't know what maritime trade means in this era, you are definitely not a qualified traverser.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still very tempted by Riel's conditions, after all, whether it was the experience of ocean navigation or the experience of building warships. These are all things that the Ming lacks. After all, from Zheng He's voyage to the West to the present, two hundred years can change a lot of things.

Looking at Riel, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Envoy Riel, I don't understand what you mean!" ”

Cunning! Riel gave the Emperor of the Apocalypse such an evaluation in his heart! Obviously, the emperor didn't want to put forward the conditions himself, he wanted to put them forward, and he agreed to them.

This time Riel really guessed correctly, after all, the emperor of a country to talk about this, it is really a good share. Besides, this is Daming, if the news spreads, I'm afraid it will be noisy.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we hope to be able to build a joint ship with the Ming Dynasty, we will produce shipbuilding technology, and the Ming Dynasty will produce craftsmen and materials. I hope that the emperor will be able to hand over one-third of the ships to us Portuguese. The number of one-third cannot be less than thirty warships, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will grant permission. Riel put forward his conditions and looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse cautiously. This is what he wants the most, and everything else is trivial.

If you want to restore Spain to its former glory and regain the colonies occupied by the Spaniards, you must go through war. Without warships, it is useless to say anything, with the support of the huge national strength of the Ming Kingdom, this is the most important thing. With warships, trade can be made, and that's the most important thing.

Glancing at Rare, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and waved his hand, although he wanted to get the technology and experience of the Portuguese, but he paid a third of the warship, which was too costly for the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Your own finances are already tight, and you still have to intervene, so how can you do it?

"Envoy Ryel, I think you know how much it costs to build a fleet, and it takes time. You need thirty warships, and if you let the Ming deliver them in ten years, then there will be no problem! The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Riel with a smile, he didn't believe that the Portuguese would agree to such a condition.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, ten years is too long, three years is enough!" Riel seemed to be joking when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but he didn't dare not take it seriously.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice, "We need to build a shipyard, and you know that this is not a trivial matter. If you want to get thirty warships in three years, you can't just use your skills. Half of the cost needs to be paid, which can guarantee the operation of the shipyard. ”

Seeing that Riel was still about to speak, the Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand and said, "I can promise you that I will deliver all the first thirty ships that come from the shipbuilding to you." Of course, you have to pay for the cost of shipbuilding, which is very important, and the time is set at three years! ”

In the opinion of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the important thing for the Portuguese was experience and technology, and now there was already a shipyard in Tianjin, and the delivery of production was not slow. I am building a shipyard with the Portuguese, and as long as I deliver thirty ships to them, then I can get the technology and experience of the Portuguese, and at the same time build a shipyard with half the cost, which is the key.

Riel fell into deep thought at this time, he felt that his idea was very good, but he didn't expect to be disrupted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse this time. He was very entangled in his heart, if he could have a boat, it would mean that he had money! Being able to get thirty ships at the fastest speed is definitely not something that can be measured in money.

However, Riel still doesn't understand, what does His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming Kingdom want to do? Don't even want a ship? But that's not something to think about. After thinking about it, Riel said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't know when you are going to start the sea trade?" ”

"If we can negotiate, I am ready to start shipbuilding on Fujian Shipbuilding immediately, of course, we need your experience and technology. By next year at the latest, there should be ships on the water, so that we will start a sea trade with the outside world. Before that, I will clear the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible and remove obstacles to the opening of the sea! The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Riel with a smile and a very relaxed expression.

Gritting his teeth, Riel turned his heart sideways and said: "Your Majesty, we hope to be able to obtain the right to trade in Daming, if the emperor agrees, we will also agree to the previous things!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was snickering in his heart, but his face was still impassive, he nodded, and said, "Okay!" Very good! I promised you, as for how to do it, there will be a special person to talk to you. Once the matter is negotiated, we can sign a treaty. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Being able to finalize things can be regarded as a relief for Riel. It cost more money than expected, but it was nothing. Although these people have been displaced to Macao, they still have money, and once they can enjoy trade, they will not have as much money as they want.

Now that Spain has fallen, the Portuguese in Macau have received aid from home before Riel arrives, and this is for the revival of the country! The royal family has agreed to cooperate with Daming, and someone will take out the money.

"By the way, there's one more thing, I hope you can agree!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to remember something again, and looked at Riel with a smile and said.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please instruct me to do my best as long as I can do it." Riel was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was going to repent, and his heart suddenly lifted.

Glancing at Rare, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "I hope I can hire some people from among you Portuguese, and I hope you don't stop you." ”

"It is their blessing to be valued by His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor chooses, as long as they have no opinion, we will not interfere. Riel breathed a sigh of relief that it was just a small thing.
