Chapter 524: The Demon's Den, No Fight
"[First top and then optimistic about love set sail and leave fragrant incense 571 provides], "Portugal has been established for 600 years, and claims to be the guardian of the Holy See.
"It is true that Portugal was in decline in the East, and in Africa it was also oppressed by the Dutch and British. In the past, it was dragged onto the chariot by Spain, and the elite of the navy collapsed with the destruction of the Spanish Armada. Now I Yinghua meet with him, almost like charcoal in the snow. β
In the Lisbon State Guest House, the meeting of dignitaries of the Anglo-Chinese mission was held again. Although Portugal is not a country dominated by the parliamentary cabinet of the Dutch and British, the king is still unable to say anything. The heroic words in the palace are just a statement, and the agreement between the two countries proposed by Xiao Xie needs to be discussed by the ministers and nobles of the country in Japan.
The treaty presented by Xiao Xie was the first task entrusted to the mission, and the Kingdom of Portugal was used as a political base for the Anglo-Chinese to set foot in Europe. If you want to tie Portugal to Yinghua, you have to throw two hooks, one is to use Macao and Annamam Portugal to hook Portugal tightly in the Anglo-Chinese Nanyang chess game, and the other is to borrow Manchurian sweeps to other European countries to hook Yinghua into the Europa chess game.
For this reason, Xiao Xie played the ancient card of Seris, creating an impression in Portugal and even Europa that was both strange and familiar, noble and powerful, and cut off the Anglo-Chinese from the Oriental impression described by Lima Wu and the missionaries before, especially the impression closely related to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After Matteo Ricci, most of the missionaries described China to Europa were China under the Manchu Dynasty.
The previous performance at Wang Fu was a great success, and in the eyes of Li Fangying, Lu Hanshan and others, Portugal's acceptance of this agreement should be a natural thing.
As the leading actor, Xiao Xie sneered and shook his head: "You guys, too naΓ―ve, too simple......",
The stage is just to build momentum, but the transaction is a more complex consideration.
Xiao Xie said: "Who did Portugal when it died?"
It's the Portuguese aristocracy! They felt that they could protect their interests by climbing on the lap of Spain. As a result, Portugal was dragged by Spain to wage war with the Dutch and the British, and lost most of their possessions, and now these nobles only remember the pain, but they can't remember that their ancestors sold the country in the first place. β
"As for what is related to our Yinghua heart, do you really think that the Portuguese are good men and women? Now is just the time when they are in decline and strong, but they have seriously discussed how to invade China and colonize China! In their eyes, benevolence, righteousness and morality have only one use, and that is to make the teeth and claws more focused! β
"We have come all the way to the west, and we have seen a lot in Africa.
The Europa people plundered slaves in Africa, and how many ancient hooligans of Kunlun slaves were in this disaster!? What did the Portuguese do to the Kunlun Nu states? The missionary soil goes first, the merchants follow, the army comes behind, the hard ones can kill until the heavens and the earth change color, and the soft ones can be slave and kneeling without blushing, they have talked about benevolence, righteousness and morality? β
Xiao Xie emphasized: "Don't be fooled by the courtesy and warmth of the Europa people, it is not ......",
He glanced at Lang Shining, and incensed the words "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different", but the words that were replaced were even more exciting: "Europa is in my Yinghua, it is the land of demons!" β
The others coughed out in embarrassment, but Lang Shining said calmly: "God has given spirits to people, regardless of skin color, regardless of race, human spirits only value their vocation. You need not be afraid of my peculiarities, and even if you cannot regard me as a Serisian, you should respect my position as an official of the Seris Lodge, just as I am loyal to my country and to Your Majesty. β
Lang Shining is Italian, and he can't scold the Portuguese on his head, even if Europa is a land of demons, he can still claim to be a descendant of Rome, as long as he has a correct mentality, he can always stay out of things.
He is still serious, in his opinion, this Europa, which Xiao Xie denounced as the "land of demons", is actually the Western Europe that arose after the Age of Discovery. These people are fundamentally different from the Italy where he lives. Faith climbed to the "heavens", and when he looked back at his Jesus, the Holy See in Italy no longer had any faith connection with him.
"Portugal and Spain were the first countries to rise, and their means were religion, trade and plunder. These two countries have close relations with the Holy See, and regard missionaries as an important means of colonization, or to put it vulgarly, missionaries are like ......".
Song interjected, he and Tang Sunho were both born in the Hanlin Academy, and experienced a change in the Confucian scholars and the New Daoist Party, and he was even more open-minded, and had no scruples in some aspects, and was already known as the "first prodigal son" of the mission.
Song Ji said: "It's like a little lady, first you have to speak softly, moisten up and down, and before you see the dagger, you have to soften the little lady...... and the sound of babbling is everywhere, but Song Ji is still "cheeky, bow your hand and thank you."
Lang Shining hurriedly pulled back the conversation: "So they were quickly defeated, and in front of the Dutch and Britain, who were more business-oriented, their methods were ultimately contrary to our master's original intentions. β
Regardless of the evolution of the situation in Europa itself, the Portuguese and Spaniards relied more heavily on missionaries, and their colonial efforts were inextricably linked to the Holy See, and many of their layouts and policies were affected by this overall situation. Far less pure than the Dutch, who embraced Protestantism and advocated religious freedom, and the Britons, who worked alone outside the Holy See.
This is also related to the colonial thinking of the Portuguese and Spain, and a considerable part of the impetus for the colonial efforts of these two sides came from the promotion of the "global mission" of the Holy See. Taking the Portuguese colonization of the Congo as an example, a large number of Portuguese missionaries in the Kingdom of the Congo turned into merchants and smuggled on a large scale, and the profits of colonization fell to the Kingdom of Portugal. The Kingdom of Kongo was also unable to maintain centralized power because of the connection between the missionaries and the local princes, so that it fell apart, and in the end, the three parties did not benefit.
Since the colonial motives of Portugal and Spain were impure and mixed with strong religious connotations, the methods were even more ruthless. And the competition between the Netherlands and Britain, which were relatively consistent with the interests of the state and merchants, which were relatively consistent with the interests of the state and merchants, naturally fell behind.
Lang Shining turned around a lot and returned to Xiao Xie's main topic:
"There is a separation between missionary and commercial trade, commerce is sharper, and missionary is purer, so the eastward invasion of people's hearts is also more fierce. Even if the Portuguese regard us as Seris, and respect us with great respect, the ministers and nobles who control the state will treat us as Kunlun slaves. β
Everyone snorted coldly at the same time, these white hairs are blowing, in our eyes, aren't they also as coarse and unbearable as Kunlun slaves!?
Seeing this situation, Lang Shining, who had a special position, smiled bitterly in his heart, whether it was a Cyris or a Europa, in fact, it was the same in his bones, and no one looked down on anyone. The Seris saw everyone outside of them as Yidi, and the Europa, who had lived through the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery, were in control of the world, and the other races were also regarded as uncivilized barbarians.
Just like the Holy See, that is, it was convenient for missionaries such as Matteo to transmit a large amount of Chinese historical materials back to Europe, showing that this is a completely different civilization from the West, and the Holy See still connects China's prehistory with various accounts of the Old Testament, and wants to draw Chinese civilization to Christian civilization, so as to become its own branch. In the eyes of the Holy See, and indeed of the people of Europa, the world revolves around itself, of course.
And now, His Majesty the Emperor opened the way of heaven, supported Catholicism, faced Europa, and called himself the ancient country of Oriental Seris. The words of Heaven have brought the teachings of Jesus and Western thought to the source of Chinese civilization, which is not a countermeasure.
His Majesty the Emperor's vision is really broad, and what he sees now is not only his homeland at all. He has already seen that this world is no longer able to sleep alone behind closed doors, every day has passed for ......, Lang Shining was thinking deeply, and was interrupted by Lu Hanshan's loud voice: "With you Xie Bachi's movements in the palace, all of your efforts were in vain!?" β
Xiao Xie shook his head: "How could it be in vain?" Public opinion is also a card, and now Portugal is clamoring for friendship with me and China, including businessmen and aristocrats who can influence national politics. β
Tang Sunho patted the case: "Well said! I think the Portuguese court, at most, is just bargaining, and will not completely push the agreement away! β
Xiao Xie said: "As long as you have the heart to talk, I'm not afraid that they won't give in." β
Li Fangying said disdainfully: "Europa people are good at details, this is true, but when it comes to the overall situation, how can they compare with my Chinese people?" β
Everyone nodded again and again, and Lang Shining subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, this is pride, but it is indeed what Chinese people are proud of. Thousands of years of history, whether it is political warfare or vertical and horizontal, there is too much wisdom to learn from. ,
At this time, Europa, although he admired the East, had lost his initial sense of mystery, holding a strong ship and a sharp cross, and his sense of superiority had overridden it.
And the people of China, even if they are old people, their eyes are not completely closed, and they can still accumulate self-esteem, not to mention Yinghua, a new country that has transformed from the ruins of China, has unloaded the dregs of Manchu, Confucianism and Taoism, and is more open-minded.
At this time, Lang Shining already had a little more expectation in his heart, this is the second meeting of the east and west poles of the world, will it be the west wind that overwhelms the east wind, or the east overwhelms the west wind?
Xiao Xie suddenly said: "Let's continue to wait, take advantage of this free time to collect more books on astronomy and geography and craftsmanship." By the way, for the sake of safety, the guest house will be closed after dinner, and those who do not return at night will be charged with the crime of hiding and defecting......",
As soon as these words came out, heartfelt voices arose, and Lu Hanshan smiled at Song Ji: "Now you can't push the little lady of Portugal anymore, right?" β
Song both pouted: "The Portuguese have big bones and rough skin, and it is not cool to push it......"
Boos again, it sounds like this guy has a lot of experience.
Song both fanned his fan: "Shh Yesterday, I was invited by this lady and the young lady repeatedly, you love me, are you envious or jealous? β
Hey, there's more than one, and it's even more dissatisfying.
Although the Europa people are a category, in comparison, the Portuguese are still closer to the aesthetics of the Chinese people at this time, and this kind of thing is regarded as an ordinary snowy night, and there is not much to worry about.
Xiao Xie suddenly said: "I heard that the disease of the flower willow here in Europa is particularly poisonous, Song Ji, I think you should go to the doctor to take a look, don't have a problem." β
Song's face changed sharply, but when he got up, the others had already jumped up, rushed ahead of him, and blindly ran to the doctor's residence.
There were only Xiao Xie, Lang Shining, Daoyin, Lu Hanshan, Zheng Wei and Bai Zhengli and other generals left in the room, and even Li Fangying, the rotten Confucian, ran away, and everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Xiao Xie sighed with emotion: "It's still your martial artists who can hold it, it's not easy to ......."
It's not easy, they have been abstinent for more than half a year in this industry, not to mention women, and their eyes are green when they see their mothers. In this bustling Lisbon, you can't let off steam?
What makes Xiao Xie admire is that the most bloody martial artist has a lot ......of self-control, just thinking about it, Bai Zhengli held up a cardboard box, and said with a smile: "We have this, how can we not be afraid!" β
Zheng Wei nodded: "When we set off, Boss Xiao told us that we can't hold back this kind of thing, and we can't let the people below hold back, and we must solve it if we have the opportunity." But safety is also very important, so he asked His Majesty for a few large boxes of these things from Yingci Pharmacy. Lu Hanshan raised his eyebrows and said: "Although one is two or three dollars of silver, but the root is more important, it should be used at this time, I sent ten to each military department, counting these three days, it should also be used up." Thank you, I should say, "...... I really admire you! β
Xiao Xie also took out a box of things from his waist and grinned:
"You took the first batch of goods, and Your Majesty gave me the latter batch of goods, which is thinner......" Until now, Lang Shining didn't understand what this was, Xiao Xie looked at him and Daoyin, shook his head and said, "You don't need it." β
Then he said: "Save a little, this is also our bargaining chip in negotiations with the Portuguese......"
What is it? Safe as ...... For a long time, Yingci Pharmacy was doing research, using specially treated sheep intestines, and then nitrifying them by a tanner, sewing them up and sealing them, and they came up with this thing. Although the cost is still high, it is a reliable disposable contraceptive.
"Which Portuguese lady can win Xiao Xie's favor?"
"I don't bother to tell whether she is the niece of the Count of Pinto, whether she is a niece or a daughter......"
A group of perverts walked out of the room shoulder to shoulder, leaving Lang Shining and Daoyin behind, with a depressed face.
At a time when the Royal Government of Portugal was urgently negotiating how to respond to this friendship agreement, the "friendship" of the Anglo-Chinese mission had spread among countless Portuguese girls. And the novelty they discovered gradually converged into a familiar thing in the whole of Lisbon and even the whole of Portugal.
