In Europe, the Portuguese and the French had now signed secret agreements with the Song Empire in the Americas and became allies.

As allies, the Song Empire gave Portugal and France large quantities of weapons and supplies to support them in their war against the vassal states of the Church, and to make Europe as porridge as possible.

At the same time, among the people, Lisbon and the Song Empire Concession in Marseille also carried out a propaganda offensive as much as possible. In the New Year of Portugal and France, the friendship between the three countries was widely advertised, so now the Song Empire in the Americas is an absolutely hardcore country in the hearts of the people of Portugal and France.

But that was in Europe.

On the eastern side, because the Europeans here have not been back for a long time, they do not know much about the situation on the European side.

Therefore, it is impossible for these Portuguese to know that their country has been restored. And signed an alliance agreement with the Song Empire in the Americas, and is working with France with the support of the Song Empire against the vassal states of the Church.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what to do, Zhao Hongyu can tell them.

I met a merchant from the Allied countries here, and if I didn't take advantage of it, I would be really sorry for myself.

Wang Fuzi didn't know about this, and in his eyes these Europeans did not have a good thing.

The Portuguese who helped Zheng Zhilong fight at the beginning.

Even the Spaniards helped Zheng Zhilong to deal with Li Xiang together.

The sky is pitiful, and I don't know if it is because Zheng Zhilong's personality is too charming, or because Li Xiang has offended too many people.

The Europeans who came to the east to mix together actually stood on the opposite side of Li Xiang and were with Li Xiang's enemy Zheng Zhilong to deal with him.

It can also be seen from this that Li Xiang is a failure.

But if you think about it carefully, Li Xiang is also quite tragic.

In fact, he is not a bad person, at least even people like Wang Fuzi can still think of his goodness, and it can be seen that he still wants to pull him when he has the opportunity. In fact, Li Xiang is really okay.

It's just that his opponent is Zheng Zhilong, who has a more charismatic personality and has left his name in the long history.

It's hard not for him to be tragic.

People can't be compared, Zheng Zhilong is a famous figure in history.

It is impossible to leave a name in history.

What's more, Zheng Zhilong's son will be even more famous in the future.

And Li Xiang is just a character in the wild history.

"Your Highness, do you know these Portuguese?"

Wang Fuzi asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu said: "We, the Song Empire, and the Portuguese signed an agreement. Now allies. In fact, you are not an outsider, you should actually understand the meaning of this ally, and I am not afraid to make it clear to you. ”

Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu did not hide anything, and told Wang Fuzi everything that happened in Europe.

At the same time, it was also said that the Empire had signed an agreement with Portugal and France, and that it had received a large amount of money from the Empire.

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Wang Fuzi sighed in his heart.

Alas!

It seems that they want to seek revenge on the Portuguese. Then don't think about it.

Now that people are our allies of Zhao Song, we can't do it.

Thinking of this, Wang Fuzi couldn't help but feel proud, and his face looked a little decadent.

"What's wrong with you. If you have something to say, you might as well tell me directly. We are all of Yanhuang blood, and these white-skinned ghosts are different from us. ”

Zhao Hongyu saw that Master Wang had something on his mind, so he asked more.

"Your Highness, there is nothing to hide from the little old man's thoughts. These Portuguese also helped Zheng Zhilong to fight us, if they hadn't helped Zheng Zhilong, we wouldn't have lost so badly. ”

Speaking of this incident in the first place. The look on the face of the prince became very unpleasant.

But it's understandable that it's impossible for anyone to be comfortable with this.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Oh, it turns out like this." It seems that your heart knot is still being untied, compared to because they are allies of our country, so you feel a little uncomfortable that you can't take revenge. ”

Zhao Hongyu couldn't understand why Master Wang was at this time.

And Zhao Hongyu also understands Wang Fuzi's current psychology very well, and thinks about it from another angle, if this matter is left on himself, he may not be much better than Wang Fuzi.

No, he has to be even more uncomfortable than Master Wang.

The main thing is that I can't swallow this breath.

But what if you can't swallow it, after all, the Portuguese are allies of the empire.

Moreover, Wang Fuzi himself also entered the household registration of Zhao Song and became a child of Zhao Song.

Therefore, if there is anything, then now it has to be considered from Zhao Song's standpoint.

It's impossible for him to do that thing.

If that's the case, he still has a foothold in Zhao Song.

If a person has no faith, he will not even be able to stay in the East at that time.

Besides, the Dutchman earlier, Zhao Hongyu already gave him face.

He and the prince can't get an inch, no.

"Hehe, Master doesn't have to be so uncomfortable. There is so much talk between countries, and besides, it's so far from Europe, and if you really want to vent your anger, it's very simple, it's easy to kill them, but I think we can actually use them. ”

Zhao Hongyu knew very well how to explain Master Wang, but he was just angry.

But Zhao Hongyu couldn't do that.

After all, his status is different from that of Master Wang, and the things he needs to consider are also different from Master Wang.

Well, it's okay to take advantage of the Portuguese.

"Take advantage of them? Your Highness, what do you mean ......", Master Wang was stunned when he heard this, and then he came to his senses. He felt that the meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was probably a conspiracy.

Although Wang Fuzi's guess was a little wrong, this is the general meaning.

"I can get the Portuguese to side with Li Xiang and turn them against Zheng Zhilong. At that time, Zheng Zhilong will definitely clean them up, and at the same time, he can also let Li Xiang have a helper. ”

Zhao Hongyu said his plan, which made Wang Fuzi's eyes light up.

yes, it's still so easy to vent your anger, just kill them.

But this is useless except for venting anger, but it also makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince infamy.

If that goes back to Europe. It will also affect the relations between the two countries, which is a very disadvantaged thing.

And what kind of person is he, he is just a person who has just joined the Zhao Song Empire, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can do this to himself, which is already very good.

If this was in the Ming Dynasty, it would be unimaginable.

To say that Master Wang is not excited and grateful in his heart is really a lie.

It's just that even if you are excited and grateful, you have to hide it in your heart, and repay the prince's kindness by doing things. And not what it sounds like.

Moreover, through contact with Zhao Hongyu, Master Wang was truly convinced.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, as a citizen of Zhao and Song, for the benefit of my former boss, His Royal Highness not only did not blame but also treated me like this, the little old man really has nothing to repay except for his life."

Zhao Hongyu smiled and said, "I'm also so that you won't have a psychological burden if you leave Li Xiang." In this way, you can be regarded as repaying his kindness and fulfilling your righteousness, so that you can live a good life in my Zhao Song. As the crown prince, I definitely have to think about Zhao Song's people. This is what the superior must do. ”

Master Wang was so moved that he was about to cry.

As a scholar of the 17th century, he had never met such a person in his life.

Especially with Zhao Hongyu's identity and status, he would actually do this to him, how could this not make Master Wang not moved.

As the saying goes, the one who is a confidant dies. Wang Fuzi now has such a thought.

"Your Highness, you have a good plan, these Portuguese can indeed make good use of it. Li Xiang's side, of course, we can think about it. But we need to make sure we have to do it. ”

Wang Fuzi took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and collected his thoughts.

Soon, he was in the groove.

Now that the Dutch have solved it, the remaining battleships of the Dutch will definitely be given to Li Xiang in the future.

The affection between him and Li Xiang has been paid off so far.

In the future, he Wang Fuzi needs to think about himself and Zhao Song.

To be a man, you have to know what you are doing, and you still have this self-knowledge.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done this step very well, can he continue to benefit Li Xiang shamelessly?

If that's the case, then he's really not a human being.

You must know that the lives of his master and his brothers were all saved.

And what kind of status he is, he is just a common man in the Zhao and Song Empire.

"You are familiar with Li Xiang's side, and after we solve the trouble here, you will meet Li Xiang by the way when you pick up your family. The Dutchman's merchant ships are a gift from me, and I can ask him to help him find some powerful people from the Ming Dynasty to meet with us. ”

Zhao Hongyu's requirements for Li Xiang are not very high, but he just wants to use his network.

And on his side, he is not asking for people empty-handed, aren't those merchant ships of the Dutch just gifts?

For a pirate leader, it is not as good to give him gold and silver as to give him a ship.

What's more, the merchant ships of the Dutch were used for both commercial and war purposes, and the number of guns on board was also more than that of the Ming warships. It's much stronger than the battleship under Li Xiang's command now, so Li Xiang will definitely like it.

Besides, the battleships of the Europeans were sharp, and here in the eastern seas it is a well-known thing.

It's just that the Europeans are not easy to deal with, and if they want to rob their warships, the losses are not small.

And whether you can grab it or not, it's a matter of two words.

Even if it is strong, the gains outweigh the losses, and the losses are too great.

But the battleships and artillery of the Europeans, in general, are not easily sold.

They are not fools, and they know what they rely on in the East.

"Your Highness means that the Dutchman's warship will be given to Li Xiang, and we will make use of his network in Daming."

Master Wang can see through it at all.

Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

Wang Fuzi nodded again and again, it is feasible, of course it is feasible.

The Dutch battleship was very powerful, and Li Xiang had no reason to refuse.

And this gift is definitely a luxury.

For this meeting gift, Li Xiang also has to make a lot of efforts.

What's more, with the Dutch warship, Li Xiang will be able to ease up and confront Zheng Zhilong.

Now that Zheng Zhilong is in the limelight, if Li Xiang doesn't want to be defeated, then he has to add a large number of ships.

But where there is a ship, it is so easy to increase.

You must know that he is a pirate, not a court sailor.

Although from time to time it was possible to buy some scum of the Ming Dynasty sailors and obtain some 'floating' ships from them, those warships were too expensive, and the generals asked for too much money.

Even a sea giant like Li Xiang can't bear it.

At the same time, during this time, the battle between Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong has been at a disadvantage under the successive defeats.

Seeing that his position was about to be secured, some people who were in contact with him also became ambiguous.

This made Li Xiang's life more difficult, and at the same time, the battleship was more difficult to buy.

At the same time, the shrinking of the territory has also greatly shrunk his economy, which is also very fatal.

Therefore, the Dutchman's warship is not only a luxurious gift for Li Xiang, but also a gift that can allow him to reverse the confrontation with Zheng Zhilong.

"Yes, I just want Li Xiang's network. I don't ask for anything else, as long as he can help me pull a line, and those Dutch commercial and war ships are his. As for how I deal with those networks, it has nothing to do with him. ”

"He'll agree, it's a no-brainer, it's just a string. If Li Xiang disagrees, then he is really an idiot. Wang Fuzi said categorically.

"Well, that's it, then. But for now, we have to greet these Portuguese, and then these Portuguese will also give Li Xiang a big gift. ”

Zhao Hongyu smiled at Wang Fuzi and said.

"Oh, gentlemen of Portugal, please don't mind what happened just now. The Dutch and we are hostile countries, and we have been at war with the Dutch in the Caribbean last year, and have seized their colonies and all their interests in the Caribbean, so we cannot be soft when we meet them here. ”

The Ming businessmen, led by the old man surnamed Xu, didn't understand anything about the Caribbean.

After all, their perception is also on the side of Southeast Asia.

But the Portuguese know the truth.

Therefore, when they heard Zhao Hongyu say this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I see.

The Dutch were really unlucky.

But then Zhao Hongyu's words made the Portuguese eyebrows flutter.

"Also, we have already talked to the Portuguese government, Portugal and our Song Empire have signed an agreement, our Triple Alliance, so you are considered a merchant of our allies, so you can rest assured in this camp. At the same time, I have news to tell you that the Portuguese have succeeded in recovering their country with our help, and have joined forces with the French to defeat the Spaniards and occupy their capital, and the Spanish Empire has fallen.
