Chapter 515: True Diplomacy
Wal-Mar-Fie smiled, Ba Sawei still admired him very much, and he patiently explained: "Ba Sawei, there is a saying in the Orient, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles." I think it makes a lot of sense. That poor man obviously knows the prince of Daming, ask about the situation, and we can formulate countermeasures. ”
While the two were talking, the poor man limped in. Wal-Mar-fi smiled and said, "Poor man, can you tell me the story between you and that Prince Ming?" ”
The poor man sighed after thinking for a while, and began to tell the story: "You all call me a poor man, but I was not born like this. I am a native of the Ming Dynasty, and my father is a Ming official, which is equivalent to the clerk of the Governor's Palace. My father was ???????????????? because of Zhu Houwei, oh, that prince, because of Zhu Houwei's framing The head was cut off, and my siblings and my mother were all arrested. And I, fortunately, escaped by collecting debts in other places. Daming didn't have a place for me to live, so I had to wander overseas. After being displaced, I lost my legs and feet, but thanks to the Safavid Order, I was able to find a poor man. ”
Basawei couldn't help asking, "What about your name?" ”
"My name? Alas, it seems to be called Xie Lisi, you still call me pathetic! ”
"Then do you know a cannon that can explode when it hits the ground?"
Xie Lisi shook her head: "I haven't heard of it." However, Zhu Houwei has a firearm that can shoot accurately from a long distance! ”
Wal-Mar-Fe waved his hand, Xie Lisi bowed to him, and turned to leave, but his back seemed much bleaker than before.
"My lord, what now?" Basaway didn't know what Wal-Mar-Fe sensed from Xie Lisi's words, anyway, he didn't see anything.
"Well, Prince Daming's methods are very vicious, and you just said that poor Ao Sisai was just rude and his head was cut off, which illustrates this problem. Treat such people, especially those who have such artillery, and be sure to give them full respect! Well, I personally go to greet His Excellency the Prince! ”
With such vigorous foreshadowing, the talks must have been friendly. It can only be said that barbarism will only show a reasonable face when facing more barbarism. Of course, Hua Houwei must be a polite gentleman, and the skill of the cook in the palace made the governor of a province of the Safavid Empire become gluttonous. After he couldn't fit it in his stomach, he wiped his mouth with the snow-white silk handkerchief on the table, and then put it in his pocket as if no one was around.
Luxury, what a luxury! Not to mention the delicacies that can make people bite off their tongues, the blue and white tableware that can be exchanged for the same amount of gold, and the silk handkerchiefs that can be put into the pockets, make people smack their tongues. Wal-Mar-Fe has a preliminary understanding of Huahou Wei's wealth and luxury!
"Your Excellency, please allow me, the Governor of the Safavid Empire's Satsuma Province, Wal-Mar-Fi, to express my friendship to you on behalf of the supreme Shah."
"Well, these face-saving things don't matter, do you say? Dear Governor, ”
“???????????????? Yes, yes, the Safavid Empire and the Ming Empire needed a substantial friendly alliance, not a mouthful of diplomatic rhetoric. You're so right! Do you have any constructive comments for both of us? ”
Hua Houwei nodded: "Of course!" Safavid is to the west of the Ming Dynasty and does not border the Ming Dynasty, so there is no contradiction. Because of this, we have common interests! For example, Shaybani. Like, Ottoman. You tell me? ”
Wal-Mart's eyes flashed and he laughed: "Yes, that's right!" However, the kingdom of Shaybani has just been defeated by the Shah, and there is no contradiction between the Ottomans and our Safavids, Your Excellency, I don't see what you said. ”
Hua Houwei shook his head: "We have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, distant friends and close attacks. If there is no contradiction today, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, or that there will be in the future! Preparing for a rainy day is the consciousness that every qualified king should have! The Ming Dynasty will export goods to Europa in two or three years, and the affairs of the Safavid Empire, hehe, although it is far away from the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that we don't know anything! ”
Wal-Mart laughed: "Your Excellency the Prince is amazing, I admire it very much!" Yes, long-range close attack, good way! I admit that there are still some problems with my cognition, so let's say that His Excellency the Grand Vizier Hussein of our Safavid Empire is very wise, and will surely be able to resonate wonderfully with the Prince! Your Excellency the Prince deigns to go to Tabriz and get a glimpse of our Safavid Empire. ”
Hua Houwei laughed and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" Tabriz has heard of it for a long time, and the Lone King has been longing for it for a long time! ”
At the end of the wine, Qi Youshan looked at the back of Wal-Mar-Fei and his party, and persuaded worriedly: "Lord Wang, Tabriz is too far away from the coastline, it is a tiger and wolf's den." The prince can't be in danger! ”
Hua Houwei burped and said with disdain: "Fart's tiger wolf den!" Lao Tzu is a tiger, a real dragon, what kind of jackal are you afraid of? Old Qi, you guard the fleet for Lao Tzu well, Lao Tzu brings a regiment, there is really something to do... Hehe, Lao Tzu will destroy Safavid! Belch! Eat too much! Lao Guan! What does Mud Tower Mom do with so many dishes that Lao Tzu loves to eat? Didn't you eat it? ”
The back kitchen Guan Xiwang showed half of his face, and he had to ???????????????? smiled meaningfully: "The prince will eat more!" Still have a long body, don't you? Eat more and grow stronger! ”
On the third day, after packing up, the Japanese sailed into the Strait of Hormuz, and after sailing for a few days, landed at Bibiha Jimei. Hua Houwei took Niu Yaowu's four regiments, accompanied by the Governor of Satsuma, Wal-Mar-Fi, and went straight to Tabriz!
Hua Houwei specially asked Niu Yaowu to bring a batch of firearms commonly used by the Ming army and prepare to sell them to the Safavid Empire. Just because Hua Houwei made modern firearms, he can't underestimate the Ming Dynasty firearms. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was also the world's leader.
Of course, this is also the reason why Wal-Mar-Fei kept nagging in Hua Houwei's ear, knowing the existence of the soul chasing gun from Xie Lisi's mouth, Wal-Mar-Fei chattered vigorously, saying that the friendship between the Safavid Empire and the Ming Empire has been eternal, and what friends must communicate with each other, which made Hua Houwei a little embarrassed, so he had to send a three-eyed gun to Wal-Mart Fei.
This three-eyed gun is also the latest improved product, with a grip on the back, and the fire rope has been replaced with a grinding wheel flint, which is also the most advanced hand-held fire gun in the world, only one level worse than the revolver. Walmart Fillie couldn't put it down, and after trying two shots, he kept it close to him.
Half a month later, we crossed the Zagros Mountains and finally arrived at Tabriz on the shores of Lake Rezayle. Ten miles away from the city, Hua Houwei ordered to set up camp, and Wal-Mar-Fei went straight to Tabriz to inform the arrival of a hot prince in the legendary eastern power!
