"Manenur, King of Portugal, it is an honor to meet you at my royal palace, because it means that Portugal has been destroyed......"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, because they couldn't understand the language spoken by the emperor at all, only one young man who recorded it seemed to understand, and then recorded a string of incomprehensible words on a piece of paper?

Manenur was also stunned, he didn't understand it very well, but he was sure that this was the language of Europe, the king of the ancient kingdom of the East...... Do you know European?

Zhu Houwei had a smile on his face, he said naturally in English, before the crossing, he learned English well, at least at the sixth-level level of the university, after the crossing, he knew that sooner or later he would face the West, so he would practice when he was alone, so as not to be rusty, and then he opened a school, and also taught English to some students with good language skills, such as this one who is now taking notes.

But there will definitely be a big difference between modern English and English hundreds of years ago, but the general meaning will not be too different, Zhu Houwei is just trying it now, looking at Manuel's expression that he seems to understand or not, he should be able to roughly understand.

"The great King of the Ming Dynasty, Manuel wants to ask you, why did you send troops to attack Portugal?"

Zhu Houwei sneered after pondering the meaning of his words: "Two years ago, the Portuguese fleet invaded the Tuen Mun of the Ming Dynasty, and was defeated and fled by my Ming sailors.

Manuel fainted directly, of course he knew about the Battle of Tuen Mun, and it could even be said that the naval battle was an unprecedented blow suffered by the Portuguese fleet, and it was precisely because of that naval battle that he knew about this mysterious and ancient country in the East.

But Manuel never dreamed that his fleet would provoke such a powerful country when he went to explore the world, that is, a group of war maniacs, with terrifying weapons, who almost annihilated the Portuguese army in a devastating way.

He still remembers that when 100,000 soldiers approached the city of Lisbon, hundreds of artillery pieces lined up in a row, and the walls of Lisbon were blasted out of a huge gap!

This is an irresistible army, and with such an army, it is enough to conquer the whole of Europe, so he simply surrendered......

The war in Europe is like that, everyone is a relative, and if you can't fight, you will surrender, since you are all relatives, why do you fight to the death......

Won't it be over to the Holy See for arbitration in the end?

Of course, Manuel didn't know that it was the Ming army that attacked Portugal at first, only Spain or other countries, so he didn't care, and by the time he did, it was too late......

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Manuel, if you can let me go back and continue to be the king of Portugal, then the Holy See will definitely recognize your merits, and you will also have the friendship of the Portuguese people."

"Holy See?" Zhu Houwei laughed and said: "The army of the Ming Empire will not use it to level the whole of Europe, and in your eyes, the incomparably powerful Roman Empire and any Holy See will become ashes under the conquest of the Ming army!" As for the friendship of Portugal, I don't need it, what I need is labor, your people and the population of Europe will become slaves of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Manuel's face turned pale, and he said slightly angrily: "Great Ming King, the strength of the Roman Empire is far from your imagination, your army can easily defeat Portugal, but when you encounter the army of the Roman Empire, it will definitely be wiped out, as for the Holy See has the blessing of God, if the Ming army attacks the Holy See, it will inevitably be punished by God."

"It seems that you still haven't seen your current situation clearly." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "As a foreign lord, even if you are a prisoner, Da Ming will give enough courtesy, you will be alone in this capital for the rest of your life, Jiang Aiqing."

Jiang Mian came out of the list and said, "The minister is here."

"Let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs select the former royal palace in Fangshan as the foreign king's pavilion, and in the future, all the kings of conquered countries will live here, so as to show the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty."

"Obey."

Zhu Houwei's gaze swept over the faces of the two girls, and the girl who was glanced at straightened her chest proudly.

"Take it down." Zhu Houwei retracted his gaze, man, appreciating beauty, it doesn't mean that he is lustful, at least he feels that he is not, otherwise his harem would not even have ten concubines by now.

"Jin Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"Have the three bandits in Jiangxi ever been sentenced?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Jiangxi's three major bandits have been plagued by Jiangxi for more than ten years, and the local government has repeatedly suppressed it.

Fish gentry......

Zhu Houwei is considered to be his suit, but these four words also explain the problem, it is the gentry and wealthy families who really hate these thieves and bandits.

As for why it is not the common people, maybe the bandits themselves are also common people, and the people have nothing to rob, so they aim at the gentry class, after all, the gentry are fat, and it is much more useful to rob one gentry than to rob hundreds of people.

However, the officialdom represents the interests of the gentry, and the bandits rob the gentry but not the people, how can they bear it, and if they don't make a decision, they will take the initiative to go down the mountain to save face.

"Excuse me." Zhu Houwei spit out three words.

This is the emperor's prerogative, he can be above the law and have the right to pardon, regardless of whether you are guilty of great crimes or lose your conscience or even plot great rebellion, as long as Zhu Houwei thinks that you can not die, then no one in this world can kill you!

For example, King Ning, who is ready to be locked up to death......

However, this kind of privilege Zhu Houwei will not use in general, he wants to establish a rule of law system in the Ming Dynasty, so that the people of the world feel that there is a law to follow, then he cannot repeatedly destroy the justice of the law.

"Your Majesty." Jin Gui choked and said: "The three bandits are notorious, what does it mean to deter the world if they don't kill them!"

"Why are bandits bandits, why do bandits want fish and meat gentry?" Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "It's because of the persecution of the government and the cruelty of the gentry that these former ordinary people can't survive, they can only be bandits!"

The question that the local government should consider is why there are bandits under their rule, and why the gentry should consider why the bandits robber rob them instead of attacking the people, and nothing else!

If the government can treat the people well, why are thieves thieves, I ask you, why did the three Jiangxi bandits take the initiative to go down the mountain and be arrested, because they felt the changes in the Ming Dynasty and knew that they could survive in the Jiajing Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty......"

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"

Jin Gui was still unconvinced, but he could only retreat stupidly.
