One day in early October 1519, in the city of Cholula, which had just experienced a tragic massacre, Wen Dehei, the "Duke of the East China Sea of the Ming Dynasty", Yang Wenli, the "Squire of the Ming Rite Department", and Cai Rong, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Spain and the governor of Mexico, Honan. His Excellency Cortés, in a "warm and friendly" atmosphere, had a "fruitful" first meeting.

In fact, the official identities of both sides of the negotiations are fake.

Wen Desi's "Daming Donghai Guogong", Cai Rong's "Deputy Commander of Jinyiwei" and Professor Yang's "Daming Rite Minister" are all Xibei goods that have never been filed by the Beijing Ministry of Officials in this era, but at this time, Henan. Cortés, who was also only a sinner and wanted in the Kingdom of Spain, was convicted of the murder of a civil servant and the embezzlement of state assets - and he used a void power of attorney to dismiss the Governor of Cuba, Diego Brown. The expedition fleet that His Excellency Velasquez had put together at great public expense for his own use, not only drove away the overseers sent by the Governor, but also killed one of the secretaries of the Governor's Palace.

The only difference is that the travelers all know Cortez's actual identity, while Cortés really thinks of them as the legendary "Serisians...... Of course, his perception is actually correct, but it is only 500 years behind the times.

In short, after the two sides exchanged false greetings and greeted each other with the health of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Empire and King Carlos of the Kingdom of Spain, they began to enter the substantive topic...... And then, unsurprisingly, there was a fiery conflict.

Although he was at an absolute disadvantage on the scene, Cortés was still aggressive at the negotiating table, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he violently accused the Chinese of "barbaric atrocities" and actually attacked the "peace-loving" Spanish expeditionary force for no reason, and if the Chinese were sincere, they must immediately punish the murderers, pay compensation, and return the Spanish artillery they stolen. Only in this way can "the friendship and forgiveness of the Kingdom of Spain" be obtained.

Well, what you can't get on the battlefield has to be taken from the negotiating table...... Western colonizers from ancient times to the present day are indeed the same routine.

And the traverser side said-for-tat, you European barbarians who dared to offend the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were killed at your own expense! In addition to those unlucky people who have already paid for their lives, Cortez, as the leader, must also take responsibility, bow his head and make "reasonable compensation", otherwise he will suffer the "thunderous wrath of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty"!

-- Being bullied and being beaten by foreigners is really not too much in modern Chinese history, who wouldn't draw a gourd in the same way?

As soon as he heard that he had become a barbarian, Cortesden jumped three feet high in anger, and said unashamedly that he represented the great kingdom of Spain, and that the Chinese were making enemies of the "largest country on Shijie" by offending themselves so much! In the future, there will be no place to die!

Although the traversers knew that this guy was a wanted criminal and could not represent the Kingdom of Spain at all, they did not expose it on the spot, but calmly pointed out the following facts: You say that Spain is the largest country on Shijie? King Carlos is the most powerful king on Shijie? So where did you put the king of France, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the pope of Italy, and the sultan of Ottoman Turkey?

In order to further enhance her persuasiveness, Senior Sister Ma Tong also took out a pre-prepared map of Europe in 1500 A.D. (copied and printed from the Internet), and shook it in front of Cortez's eyes...... It has to be said that before the conquest of the Americas, Spain was really not a first-class power.

Cortés was deeply frustrated for a moment when he saw his previous set of invincible blackmail methods among the Indians, and it seemed that he could not blind these "Seris diplomats" who seemed to know everything. …,

But this bold gambler, in the face of such a desperate situation, actually refused to admit defeat, seeing that reasoning could not be justified, and he couldn't fight hard, he began to mess around and play scoundrels, and all kinds of curses from the Spanish countryside were stringed one after another, so that Senior Sister Ma Tong didn't know how to translate it......

――If it's a soft girl, some people may think it's cute to play tsundere, but you're a middle-aged bearded man, what's the point of being tsundere?

The traversers also listened more and more impatiently, thinking that if this overly wanted Spanish wanted man refused to go on the road again, he would simply make his expedition into a roast pig - although there were no individual cloud bombs fired by bazookas, it was still no problem to get dozens of barrels of gasoline.

As for how to overthrow the Aztec Empire in the future and turn Mexico into a resource exporter for China in a different time and space...... Then think of another way!

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Wang Qiu secretly flipped through the history books describing Cortés' conquest of Central America, and saw the record of this guy magnifying the Aztec envoys in the port of Veracruz to scare the Aztec envoys and make them all lie on the ground in fear.

So, he ordered the release of a special cupola cannon of the largest size, the shell of which was the size of a washing machine, and the sound was comparable to that of a directional blasting of a skyscraper...... As a result, this time it was finally the turn of the Spaniard commander to fall to the ground in fright.

And this meeting with guns and sticks came to an end with the earth-shattering salute.

――――――――――――――――

In the dim twilight, Cortés slowly climbed the pyramid and entered the gate of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, exhausted.

As soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by anxious Spanish commanders.

“…… My commander-in-chief, you have finally finished talking to the Chinese! ”

Deputy Commander Avalado couldn't wait to greet him, "...... How did you just talk about bringing Marina back at just half of the story? You don't know the language of the indigenous people of Mexico, let alone speak the language of the Chinese, how can you negotiate without a translator? Is it sign language? ”

“…… It's okay, dear Avalado. The Chinese opposite spoke Spanish and Latin, although the accent and phrasing were quirky......"

Cortés waved his hand weakly and pulled out a scroll wrapped in bright yellow satin, "...... This is a copy of the edict of the Emperor of China, along with a Latin translation. Well, I know you can't read, so let Mr. Missionary read it to you! ”

The missionary dressed in black hurriedly rushed forward, unfolded the scroll under the flickering candlelight and the gaze of the crowd, cleared his throat and recited:

“…… Well, in the name of the Most High Heaven, as the son of Destiny favored by all gods, the great Emperor Seris hereby decrees that he should be crowned Duke of Port Hope and Governor of the Mexican colony, and that his realm would henceforth be under the protection of Emperor Bixia; and authorized the royal ceremonial officer (Chamberlain of the Ministry of Rites) Yang Wenli and the deputy commander of the Guards (deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard) Cai Rong to be the ministers of the Imperial Mission, preside over the canonization of the duke, and at the same time be responsible for inspecting the various vassal states in the Mexican region, and rewarding, canonizing, and protecting any state that admires the majesty of the emperor and is willing to pay allegiance to the emperor, as the case may be (all those who are admired externally and internalized shall be ordered to be punished with thunderous severity against any enemy who dares to offend the majesty of the emperor when the day is good (all lawless and recalcitrant people, All deserve the power of thunder) ......"
