When he learned that he had the hope of trading in the city of Guangzhou, Bu Jialao also expressed his enthusiasm. "Guangzhou...... My God, we can finally enter Canton. Sir, I really want to give you a hug, you know, it's been a dream we've had for generations, and now it's finally come true. Oh my God, it's a great victory, a real victory, let's praise Portugal! ”

Historically, Guangzhou has always been a city with close contacts with other cities. During the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Arabs came to Guangzhou to conduct trade activities. Being able to enter Guangzhou for trade has always been the dream of these Portuguese.

It's just that due to the decree of the Ming court, they have never had a chance to enter the provincial capital. This has become a knot in the hearts of almost all Portuguese gold diggers in China, even if the status of Xiangshan has now passed through Guangzhou, from the small Guangzhou in the past, and gradually evolved into the trend of Guangzhou becoming a small Xiangshan, but these Portuguese still want to enter the Guangzhou trade.

After returning to China, saying "I have traded in the city of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty" can even be used as a kind of capital, and at social receptions, this kind of qualification can be exchanged for many envious eyes and enthusiastic noblewomen's eyes. Moreover, Li Yanqing has changed from the county governor of Xiangshan to the military garrison of Guangzhou, and he will definitely have more policy assistance to Guangzhou in the future, and there will be a lot of business opportunities after entering Guangzhou.

In addition to casting cannons, Bu Jialao also made a joint venture with a group of nobles to open a large foreign company in the Far East called "Wan Nu Xing" in Macao. This foreign company was originally used as an agency for ordering the artillery he manufactured, but now, its business scope has become much more than just cannons. There are countless kinds of tea, silk, sugar, tung oil, tung holes, porcelain, and lacquerware. Including Ah Furong, they were all represented by Wan Nu Xing.

Once let Wan Nu Xing enter Guangzhou. What are the business opportunities in the future...... At the thought of this, Bugarao's unhappiness was gone. "Your Excellency. Among the Ming people I have come into contact with, you are undoubtedly the wisest and most open-minded. You are not conservative or closed, and the other Ming officials want to kick us out, but you want to keep us. Rest assured, even for the sake of our friendship, I will buy you more time. ”

"Is it just buying time? Bugarao. You should know. How much money can we make from this trade. You know, the Ming had enemies in the north, and that was a group of Tatars. They are in Europe and are known as the Yellow Peril. To fight these people, we need to procure a lot of guns. And when I go to Jingshi this time, you should know what I'm doing, right? I became the son-in-law of a powerful minister, and with my father-in-law as a backer, I can guarantee that the purchase of guns and guns will be purchased. I can take care of it. Wouldn't it be nice for us to join forces to make money? The war with Spain may lead to a period of arms consumption, but in the long run it is not in the interests of you merchants. ”

"You're right. Your Excellency, But the problem is, we need to use a victory, a complete victory. to convince the stubborn king of Spain, and the Church. They treat Daming as a treasure trove. They can reap their own benefits. He also wants to turn the Ming Dynasty into the property of the church, and now he is most in favor of war. It's the crazy church. You need to teach them a lesson and let them know the true strength of the Great Ming. If this war is hypothetical that your country is not in a good position, oh, I'm just saying that hypothetically, I'm afraid even we Portugal may send troops. You have to know how much repercussions those tributes have caused in Europe, and many people have gone crazy for this country. They even put pressure on me to stop the arms trade with your country and to prepare weapons for the Portuguese army instead. ”

Li Yanqing realized that the last batch of tribute satin sale, coupled with the export of A Furong and the treasures he sold, caused a huge repercussion in Europe. Just as the gold ornaments that the Americans gave to the voyagers did not bring peace, but only the muskets and bayonets of the conquerors. The treasures and tribute satin exported by the Ming Dynasty and the refined white sugar also attracted the greed of the Portuguese Empire.

Portugal was a country that signed the "Treaty of Tordesirias" with Spain, a hegemonic treaty aimed at dividing up the whole world. There are also many people in the country who are clamoring for troops to start a war of conquerors.

Then there is the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards Catholicism, which also makes the church full of hostility towards the Ming Dynasty. The bishops are actively conspiring in the hope of a great war of conquest to exterminate the pagans and convert this country of more than 100 million people to the Catholic Church.

Compared to Spain, it was more convenient for Portugal to send troops. After all, Portugal has a governor in Goa, India, and it is more convenient for Spain to send troops from India than Spain from its own territory. In terms of troop projection capabilities in the Far East, Portugal may still be ahead of Spain.

"Fortunately, this qiē is just a plan, after all, everyone likes to shout slogans, but the military expenses are the responsibility of His Majesty the King." I doubt that there are so many gold coins in our Majesty's vault. God willing, our Portuguese nobles are smarter than the Spanish ones, and they at least know that the real enemies of the king and the church should be the Moors, not the Ming. So at the moment Portugal is only watching, they are waiting to see the jokes of the Spaniards. However, if Spain does win, the radicals in the country may have the upper hand. I believe that, Great Excellency, with your troops, you will be able to destroy those Spanish bandits. And it only takes one victory to make the Spaniards understand that they are not taking risks, but signing their own death sentences. Our friends will lobby the king to abandon his plans. ”

"I believe that my Ming army is enough to win any war. After a while, I will invite you to visit Yizhou to see how strong our East India Company's armed guards are. I'm sure you'll have confidence in the Ming Dynasty after you've seen them. In the arms trade, I think Mr. Bugarao already knows how much money you can make by working with the Ming, and you are a smart man who will not make stupid decisions. ”

Even before the war, the arms trade between Tong Guò and the Ming Dynasty and other related trades, Bugarao made more than 20,000 kruza a year. In this era, a servant from a wealthy family only earns four cruzalos a year, and having 80,000 cruzalos is already considered the top rich man in Lisbon. Bu Jialao has no brains, how can he interrupt the trade with the Ming Dynasty?

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, no matter how the situation evolves, our friendship will not change. Commercial freedom, no one has the right to trample on. Now, I have cut off the supply of arms to Europe, and I have all my workers work overtime to make guns for the Ming Dynasty. I believe that as long as we join hands, neither the church nor the nobles can only kneel before us and beg for forgiveness. As long as the Ming Dynasty wins once, as long as it is once, it can dispel the delusion that the Spaniards will send troops, and my king will also understand how to get along with the Ming Dynasty. ”

The Spaniards' military plan would certainly have worked out, but with the efforts of Bugarao's Spanish friends, it would have been a scaled-down version. And as long as the Ming side wins this battle, then these people will have a position to speak, and no one will want to organize another conquest of the Ming Empire.

Even if it is the church, they don't want to mobilize a crusader-style war and use force against the Ming Dynasty. After all, those kings were responsible both to the church and to their own coffers.

Li Yanqing nodded and said, "Lao Bu, I have written down your favor." In the future, I will definitely take care of you, and you should not pay too much attention to the affairs of the Hongji Gun Factory, the market in Daming is very large, and not any arms dealer can eat it by himself. On your side, I'll try to get more orders for you. Don't worry, with me Li, no matter how many Spaniards come this time, the end can only be a piece of armor without returning. In the place of the Ming Dynasty, it is destined that only we Ming people have the final say, and others only have the share of obedience. (To be continued!)
