"Well done." In the Phoenix Mountain Palace, Zheng Kezhang nodded at Lu Weijun, who was reporting on his work. "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, but they must prevent the local Spaniards in Luzon from causing chaos." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang commanded at the Hanlin Straight Bachelor beside him. "The Privy Council sent Ma Ying to Luzon immediately, and as soon as the existing changes occurred, there was no need to ask for an order, and immediately pressed nearby." After that, Zheng Kezhang turned his head and looked at Lu Weijun. "The affairs of the country of Sulu can be done according to the minister's play." Mindanao's resources are limited, and the only valuable Suri high-speed railway mine will be difficult to mine for a long time to come, so acknowledging that Mindanao is Sulu territory is not a big deal for China. "The secretary will take on the relevant negotiations."

Although outsiders may think that Zheng Kezhang also wants Lu Weijun to do it, then he also wants Lu Weijun to do it, which is really suspected of being harsh, but Lu Weijun himself thinks that this is Zheng Kezang's trust and reliance on him, so he happily responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"In this way, let's go and recuperate for two days, and on the day when the ministers of the two countries enter the Hajj, the secretary will come to guide you." Zheng Kezhang didn't make any promises to Lu Weijun, so he let him kneel down, which slightly disappointed Lu Weijun, but Lu Weijun obviously didn't know that he would be promoted to the minister of the conference after he returned home. "Supervise the officials again," After watching Lu Weijun's figure disappear from the hall, Zheng Kezhang once again instructed Hanlin, who was with him. "I'm going to see the personnel arrangements of the Luzon Metropolitan Protectorate soon." Master Hanlin was about to take care of it, when Zheng Kezhang suddenly thought of something, so he asked. "How many internal domains does the island of Kisusu (Irian Jaya) have been divided now?"

The scholar on duty with a good memory immediately replied: "Returning to the Holy Lord, there are currently twelve internal feudal clans in Yizhou, of which three have received the Hou Feng, two have received the Bo Feng, five have received the hereditary governor, and two have received the hereditary prefect. ”

After the Hanlin Scholar mentioned this, Zheng Kezang finally remembered that when he gave the order, he had already taken into account the fact that the eastern part of Irian Jaya and the outer sea islands had rich copper ore resources, so the fiefdoms of these twelve internal feudal clans were all in the western part of the island.

"That's right." Zheng Kezhang said. "By the way, I told the Ministry of Officials that I decided to set up a capital in the southeast of Yizhou to govern the east of the island and the islands in the outer sea, and let the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War discuss it and immediately start arranging." Of course, the establishment of the Yizhou Metropolitan Protectorate is not for the purpose of opening a copper mine, and the Suri high-speed rail mine in Mindanao, with today's technical water section and transportation capacity, it is extremely difficult to open a copper mine in Yizhou, but because Huaxia is adjacent to the abbot island, there is only an outer domain, an inner domain, and there is no first-level administrative region that can support nearby, so the establishment of the Yizhou Metropolitan Protectorate is quite heavy. "Before the plan for the restructuring of the naval division is introduced, a detachment will be transferred to assist in the defense of the ??????"

While Zheng Kezhang was contemplating the issue of the southern colonies, the French minister Baron Robert Jean-Louis Tremonta, the Spanish minister Viscount Nievan-Isan Roon Don Gamaro, and the papal envoy Bishop Antony de la Céta-Ilten, who allowed the pilgrimage to Wuchang, were lost in the prosperity of the Chinese capital like Grandma Liu, who had entered the Grand View Garden. I have never seen so many merchants, let alone such oriental commodities that are put on hold as if they were worthless, so that these European aristocrats are like hillbillies who catch this, reluctant to do that, so that the uninformed Chinese merchants and a group of official guides laugh behind their backs.

However, the European scientists who were introduced to the Gezhi Academy for the first time did not have the opportunity to linger with the mission in the streets and alleys of Wuchang, and as live water catfish specially invited by Zheng Kezang, they were required to master the Chinese language and Chinese character writing as much as possible, and then they could use astrology (astronomy), physics, gewu (chemistry), agriculture (botany), mathematics, mechanics, etc., to explore the truth together with the scholars of the Huaxia Gezhi Academy.

The short three-day rest passed quickly, and the two national missions, which had purchased countless goods in the streets and alleys to be transported back to China for profit, were finally allowed to make the Hajj, so the group was taken to the Phoenix Mountain Palace in the east of Wuchang City under the escort of the Praetorian Guard.

"Is this the Versailles of the Chinese?" Looking at the nine-fold palace standing at the foot of the mountain, and then looking at the heavenly pavilion looming in the mountains, the envoys of the two countries were shocked again. "Oh my God, it's so big." Yes, it took more than half an hour to walk across the square in front of the hall alone, not to mention the previous car ride through several city walls, and there are countless buildings behind the main hall. "It's spectacular, and the soldiers are in good spirits." The person who observed the Janissaries standing in front of the gates commented further. "It's really the No. 1 empire in the East, this, what kind of music is this." The grand Shao music resonated melodiously in the ears of the envoys of the two countries, and this kind of oriental music, which was completely different from the Western symphony and waltz, undoubtedly made those who knew music feel their insignificance under the starry sky. "Damn, it's inferior."

"There is no need to feel inferior, after all, China is an ancient country with a history of thousands of years, and you can imagine that you must have been so shocked when the ancient Roman Yiqiē was resurrected before your eyes." Bishop Ilten came from Rome, and he also saw a lot of buildings such as the hippodrome on weekdays, so he naturally did not feel as strongly as the envoys of France and Spain. "China, in fact, is a civilization that has been handed down at the same time as ancient Greece and Rome."

"Silence!" Viscount Gamalo was about to say something, but the imperial guard standing under the porch warned these aliens not to make any more noise, although they didn't know what the Chinese warriors in front of them were talking about, but the envoys saw displeasure in each other's eyes, so they had to keep silent, just at this time, a loud voice came from the high hall. "Summons the envoy of France, Romment, to the temple for an audience."

Under the guidance of the interpreter of the Doge's yamen, Baron Robert Jean-Louis Tremonta dressed himself and followed the guards up the white marble steps. After crossing the high threshold, Trimonta came to a large space, but to his astonishment, there was only a chair on the towering Danxi in the center, and there was no sign of it.

"Please ask the French envoy to salute the emperor's throne." Lu Weijun, who was standing under the Danxi, then whispered to the French baron. "Lord Luo, the Holy Lord has specially given grace to allow the lord not to bow down on his knees, but to worship my emperor's throne according to the understanding of participating in the Dharma King." In fact, the Hajj etiquette has been communicated in advance, but Telai Monta did not expect that the Huaxia Emperor's understanding was to let him salute a chair, so he was stunned for a while, and at this moment he heard Lu Weijun's urging, Telai Monta was busy kneeling on one knee and bowing. "Please present your credentials." After receiving the credentials as the Minister of the Governor's Yamen, Lu Weijun took a lead. "Your Excellency, please step aside, and later, our own military department will contact your adult about the floating balloon." Before he could turn his anger into joy, Lu Weijun shouted. "Spread the Spanish envoy to the temple of Wanenga??????"

The three inexplicably went up to the hall, inexplicably went down, and when they got back together, they all felt a little indignant: "The Chinese are too arrogant, they actually let us salute the chairs, this, this is clearly contempt for the Kingdom of Spain." ”

"Lord Wan speaks carefully." Before Gamalo's words landed, someone on the side suddenly interjected, and the three of them turned their heads to look, only to see a Chinese minister in purple with several entourages appear in front of the three of them, speaking fluently in French. "Below is Pan Zheng, the deputy foreign minister of China, please ask the French minister to come to Baron Monta with this lord, and he will take you to where you are going."

"You are the Deputy Foreign Secretary, has Viscount Lu been dismissed?" ”

"Of course not." Pan Zheng replied. "Lord Lu has now been promoted to Foreign Secretary."

"I see." Te Lai Monta was relieved. "Are you going with this official?"

Receiving Pan Zheng's confirmation, Teremunta greeted Viscount Gamalo and Bishop Ilten and left in a hurry, perhaps in his opinion, Zheng Kezang was just a big score, compared to the military technology of the floating balloon and the huge profits of the Xiafa trade, a little etiquette grievance was still acceptable, so he would not make trouble with the other two.

After Telai Monta left, Pan Zheng pointed to another subordinate and said, "Please ask Viscount Gamalo to follow this lord, he will take you to see Lord Lu, who has already approved the name of the goods to be delivered." ”

Considering that the betrayal of the Philippines had become a foregone conclusion, Gamalo had to swallow his anger and follow the Chinese officials to the Duzhi Yamen on the other side, looking at the last remaining papal envoys, Pan Zheng raised his hand and said, "Please come and ?????? this official with this official."

Leaving aside how the Ministry of War arranged for Teremonta to understand the use of balloons, or how Bishop Ilten conveyed the opinion of the Holy See that he could make concessions on ceremonial issues in exchange for the right to preach widely in South China, Viscount Gamalo met Lu Weijun again in Duzhi Yamen.

"Viscount Lu, congratulations on your promotion to Foreign Secretary." Viscount Gamalot, who had already adjusted his mood on the way, put on a harmless smile and said enthusiastically and straightforwardly. "Excuse me, can I see the specific product name?" Lu Weijun whispered a few words to a Duzhi Yamen official beside him, and the other party handed over a thick list of goods, and Viscount Gamalo quickly grabbed it in his hand, opened it, but it was Chinese, and immediately asked Lu Weijun for help. "There's nothing you can understand."

At the signal of Lu Weijun, the interpreter of the Governor's Yamen took back the bill of goods and translated them one by one: "According to the sale treaty reached between the two countries, this year our court will pay your country about one million francs of goods, including six second-hand Tessie plywood ships worth 50,000 francs, a pair of guns and gunpowder, tea worth 150,000 francs, porcelain worth 150,000 francs, pearls, perfumes, and precious stones worth 70,000 francs, cardamom, cloves, and rhubarb worth 150,000 francs, silk and silk products worth 150,000 francs, Dyeed cloth and linen products worth 100,000 francs, lacquerware worth 20,000 francs, sugar worth 60,000 francs, tin ingots worth 30,000 francs, tung oil worth 20,000 francs, and other loose goods worth 100,000 francs??????"
