Chapter 540: Fairness Comes from Strength

The folds on Julius's face unfolded, and he asked with a smile, "Then in what form will the Ming trade with the Holy See?" Hua Houwei looked at Julius's eyes carefully, and considered the sentence: "If the economic interests are maximized, oh, or you can control some countries that are not very religious with the help of trade, well, okay, Your Majesty, open the skylight and say something, the Holy See needs some benefits to bind countries such as Spain, Holy Rome, etc., I need a reliable trading partner, a partner with extreme influence, I mean it clearly, right?" Julius laughed: "Of course, of course, then since the Ming Empire has a request from the Holy See, then I have to put forward conditions." ”

"Wait a minute, what does it mean that the Ming Dynasty has a request from the Holy See? Your Majesty, can I do business with the Lisbon family in Spain, or with the Habsburgs, or with the Republic of Venice? Don't say that the Ming Dynasty has a request from the Holy See, but to achieve a win-win situation between you and me! Pope, you have to understand that there is not only the Holy See in Europe! Hua Houwei's smile was still the same, but the enthusiasm in his eyes disappeared, and the bright smile made people feel a little cold.

Julius' smile remained unchanged and he said in a serious voice, "Oh? Facts are facts, Prince, it is true that there is more than the Holy See in Europe, but it is only the Holy See that has such influence! Young people, this is Europe, not the Ming Dynasty! Hua Houwei's smile disappeared, and the corners of his mouth twitched without smiling: "Count Maxisian's army collapsed within a quarter of an hour, and only two of the five Galen ships were left in the fleet of the Marquis of Medina." The military strength of the Ming Dynasty should not be taken lightly! Julius's eyes flashed sharply, and he laughed: "The old man is sixty-six years old, and he will soon return to the Lord." Europe is full of disasters and difficulties, the Hun Emperor Attila, the Mongol Golden Horde Batu Khan, forced the devout believers to whip themselves, and now? Europe is not Europe yet, and those people are all crushed by the wheels of history? Seeing that the old and young were about to choke, Cardinal Iscolama hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency, Honorable Prince of the Ming Empire, this is a trivial matter, and there is no need to rise to the height of war. Hua Houwei nodded and glanced at the old and strong Julius: "What the archbishop said is that I originally only wanted to win a win-win situation. Your Majesty, I know you don't care about my attitude, it's okay, I can make you understand that the Roman Empire can be split into the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, then, hehe, history can repeat itself! "Julius just wanted to take advantage of Hua Houwei and win greater benefits.

Forgiveness Hou Wei will not turn his face because of this, so why not take more bites? Hearing Hua Houwei's words at this moment, he was shocked and angry in his heart, and his hair was all open: "What do you mean?" Hua Houwei casually picked up the tea on the table, took a sip lightly, raised his head and said: "Strength, this world needs strength to speak after all." Your Majesty, I am a very straightforward person, the Holy See is only the agent of the Lord in the world, it can be you or he. In whose hands, as long as there is strong support, will the Holy See be flourishing, not the sowing of the Lord's mercy? I hope you understand, I, I don't have to be you. There are so many bishops in Italy, and priests, who says a priest can't be pope? Julius's face changed greatly, and he stood up and stared at Hua Houwei: "How can you blaspheme God's will?" Hua Houwei laughed loudly: "That's your lord, not mine!" I respect your Lord, but that doesn't mean I have to obey your Lord's arrangement! Your Majesty, cooperation is good for you and the Holy See, and it is not an opponent against you at all. I'm not threatening you, just stating the obvious. Shanqing, let them understand the gap between Europe and Daming! Thinking that Hua Houwei was going to be unfavorable to Julius, Ikorama shouted: "You must not be allowed to hurt His Majesty!" Zhu Shanqing sneered: "That's it, old man, can you make a move?" Look well! As he spoke, he instructed the soldiers to light the Kong Ming lantern.

Julius looked at Da Ming's gang in confusion, and after the Kong Ming lantern rose into the air, Zhu Shanqing grabbed the soul chasing gun and refused to put it on his shoulder.

Syllable! Kong Ming's lantern flickered, and he fell to the ground! The men and horses of the Holy See all stood on end, drew their swords one after another, and gathered around Julius.

Julius is a battle-hardened old fritter, before he was elected pope, he followed King Charles VIII of France on expeditions to Naples, and escaped death many times, this little scene still frightens him!

qqxδnew Julius pulled away the guards beside him, and an incomparably bright smile bloomed on his face.

He stepped forward and wanted to check the soul chasing gun in Zhu Shanqing's hand. Zhu Shanqing threw the gun behind him and blocked his body: "This is a secret of the Ming Empire, you can't touch it!" Julius looked at Hua Hou Wei, Hua Hou Wei turned his head to look at the cross sword, and said to himself: "The sword is a good sword, but unfortunately this is no longer the era of long sword warfare!" Julius sighed: "I'm already an old man, can I still find out your secrets?" Hua Houwei raised his head and smiled coldly: "Don't kidnap me morally, the enemy is the enemy, no matter whether it is an old man or a child!" Julius! Are you my enemy, or my friend? "The atmosphere froze, and all eyes were on Julius!

Ikorama just wanted to reprimand Hua Houwei, but Julius stretched out his hand to stop him: "No! Ikorama, he is qualified to say such things! ”

"Your Majesty! None of us are afraid of death! Mansgard, the leader of the knights, roared with his chest puffed up, his bronze bell-like eyes full of murderous aura!

Syllable! A puff of dust and smoke rose from his feet, and he couldn't help but shudder. Zhu Shanqing blew away the green smoke from the muzzle of the revolver and snorted: "Your life is only the price of a bullet!" Julius didn't blink his eyes, staring at the revolver in Zhu Shanqing's hand, and sighed: "Okay, the power of the Great Ming Fire Weapon is far beyond my expectations." Anything else? Hua Houwei raised his hand disdainfully, and Zhu Shanqing threw a monkey version of the telescope to Julius.

While Julius was tossing and turning and studying the telescope, Zhou Qishan, the commander of the fourth battalion beside Hua Houwei, silently walked outside the house.

"God! What do I see? A cry of exclamation came from Julius, who had just been calm, dancing like a child, but his eyes were never off the monkey telescope.

"Look, a kilometer away is the test site." Hua Houwei didn't have any expression on his face, just pointed to the northwest.

Julius turned to the northwest in confusion, and in the inverted image of the crossing, a herd of horses galloped through the meadow in the sky!

Da-da

The overlapping field of vision of the two circles was filled with crimson blood, and the corpses of the horses on the ground were mutilated, and there were convulsive corpse pieces everywhere.

Julius was silent, he grabbed the binoculars and looked at the leisurely Hua Houwei: "You! You, are you a demon? Hua Houwei rolled his eyelids: "If you really think so, there is no need for us to talk about it!" Shanqing, send off! Jiang Mian stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Shanqing, smiled slightly, his smile was like a spring breeze and rain, and interpreted the elegance of the Confucian disciples to the fullest: "Wait! Lord Wang, this Pope is also an old man, let's listen to what he has to say. Julius finally woke up from his extreme shock, he calmed down, grabbed the telescope and didn't let go, and bowed to Hua Houwei in his whole clothes!

Ikolama and the other people of the Holy See exclaimed in unison: "Your Majesty! No! Julius slowly straightened up and turned his head to look at the people in the Holy See: "He has this qualification, because he is very powerful!" So powerful that the whole of Europe will tremble! Ikorama, do you think that by gathering the power of all Europe, you can defeat the Ming Empire? Ikorama hesitated for a moment before he said firmly: "If it is in the East, then the armies of all Europe will also be completely defeated." But this is Europe, and no one can completely defeat Europe here! A tear flowed from the corner of his eye, and Julius shook his head sadly: "You are wrong! Child, even if you gather an army of millions, in front of this prince, you are just a target! Cardinal Ikolama's eyes almost popped out, and he blurted out in disbelief: "Impossible! Your Majesty, this can't be! Julius handed the telescope to Ikorama and turned to Hua Houwei: "You have won!" Europe will crawl under your feet, what exactly do you want? Hua Houwei shook his head and stood up.

He pointed in the direction of Europe itself: "I am not a conqueror, and I did not come to Europe with slaughter!" Your Majesty, I am just a messenger with flowers and goods, a friend who wants to make great Europe even greater. Julius shook his head: "No! No way! You have such a murderous weapon, you have the power to bring everyone to their knees, why don't you use it? Huahou Wei laughed and raised his arms: "Lovely crown, how vast this world is, it is impossible to completely occupy it with the power of the Ming Empire alone." The world is too big, human beings are big and small, why do we have to conquer? Why can't we join hands and work together for a better life? Do you know? In this world, the only places that can be called great are Europe and the Ming Dynasty, oh, and we should add those guys between us. ”

"You mean the Persians and Arabs?"

"Well, you see, we have a saying in the Ming Dynasty called adapting measures to local conditions, what a flat piece of land in Europe is, it is the most suitable for farming; The Arabian Peninsula is mostly deserts and grasslands, so it is suitable for grazing; We are skilled craftsmen, so we are suitable to make more delicate utensils for you and them. This is a perfect cycle, a circle where everyone has something to eat, and a perfect plan to make world peace no longer have strife! Hua Houwei said what he had thought about for a long time, and the sun shrouded his body, making Julius in a trance, as if he saw an angel descending on the earth!
