Before Wang Hongyu went north to the capital, he had a deep understanding of the wolf ambitions of the Netherlands, the Wa Kingdom, and Jiannu, and had already made a good layout.

He knew very well that Portugal wanted to protect its interests in Asia, and that only by forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty in good faith could it hope to defeat the Netherlands, and that the two defeats of the Netherlands in Macau and Penghu gave the Portuguese hope.

Only the Ming can help them defeat the Netherlands, and only the Ming can help Portugal recover, but Ace Duck is far stronger than the Netherlands in terms of navy and economy.

It is impossible for Daming to help Portugal recover without a big need, and no country in the world is willing to be the enemy of Ace Duck, what price does Ming need Portugal to pay before he will not hesitate to fight with Ace Duck?

Wang Hongyu knew that the South American Brazil occupied by Portugal was very complementary to the Ming Dynasty.

There is a territory not less than the Ming Dynasty, with rich reserves of mineral resources, especially iron ore; There are abundant water resources and primeval forests.

But there are not many people in such a vast territory, and what is most lacking there is people, how can no one develop it? Daming lacked iron ore with high iron content, and Daming was overpopulated.

There is also a small half of North America in the hands of Acebanya, França and England, and more than half is still a *** land, where only a few indigenous people live a life of fishing, hunting and gathering, and there is very little even slash-and-burn farming.

The Ming also needed Portugal's silver, Portugal needed to transport guns and technology from the West, and Portugal and the Ming Dynasty needed to unite to control the Western guns and artillery to enter the Wa Kingdom and build slaves.

The sea area could not be blocked by the sea power of the Ming Dynasty alone, and it was necessary to unite with the enemy of the Netherlands, Esbanya, to blockade the sea area and prevent the Dutch warships and merchant ships from bypassing the Strait of Malacca and entering Asia.

Before Wang Hongyu went to the capital this time, he contacted the upper echelons of Portugal with Tokinige, Long Huamin and others, and asked them to rush to Daming to negotiate as soon as possible, and the negotiation venue was set in Tianjin.

In fact, Portugal was more active than the Ming Dynasty, because their merchant ships were often plundered by armed merchant ships in the Netherlands, and normal shipping could no longer be carried out, and armed transportation would encounter warships in the Netherlands.

Before Wang Hongyu left for Liaodong, he received news that Portugal had sent an envoy from Goa to the governor, accompanied by an important nobleman who was originally in the country.

Wang Hongyu traveled back and forth to Liaodong for a total of 3 months this time, and after calculating the time, the Portuguese should also be in the interior of Daming. For the first time, he negotiated with a foreign envoy about the alliance between the two countries, and Tianqi asked Wang Hongyu to negotiate on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the news that the Portuguese negotiating envoy and the local nobles were about to arrive, Wang Hongyu informed the apocalypse in advance with a flying pigeon herald. He went directly to Tianjin to meet the Portuguese negotiators, in order to show the importance of Daming to the Portuguese guests.

A few days later, a letter came from Jinnige, and they moved quickly, and arrived in Tianjin ten days later. There was not much time expected by Wang Hongyu, and he didn't have time to return to Beijing to resume his life, so he hurried to Tianjin.

Portuguese nobleman, Marquis of Marialba. Antonio Meneses, as well as the Governor of Goa, were in Tianjin in person.

On behalf of Portugal, he came to visit and meet with the Marquis of Dingyuan. After the two countries formed an alliance, they also had to leave some people to visit and study in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, visiting the army, markets, ports and coastal defenses.

Wang Hongyu and Meneses are both marquises, and they are both the most trusted people of the young lord, and the meeting is of great significance.

Han Jun, the governor of Zhilu, also came over, and his status was the same as that of Governor Ago, and the diplomatic etiquette between the two sides was orderly.

Xu Xiake also participated in the negotiations as a specially invited representative.

These things have a certain role in promoting communication between the two sides and enabling the negotiations to proceed smoothly.

The Marquis of Marialva was especially grateful for the Battle of Macau, Wang Hongyu sent people to participate in the battle, and also sent troops to beat the Netherlands at a critical moment.

The Marquis of Marialva represented King João IV of Portugal, and although Portugal was temporarily under Spanish rule, the colonies, including Brazil, remained loyal to Portugal and had only limited obedience to Acebanya.

João IV's ancestors were the illegitimate son of King João I, the first Duke of Bragança, Alfonso. So Bragança

The dynasty was also a branch of the Portuguese Aveish dynasty. The kings of the Bourbon dynasty of Spain were all from home.

João IV was an indomitable and tragic king who fought for independence from the rule of Esbanya.

This history has not yet happened, but Wang Hongyu, who has traveled from later generations, knows very well that during the negotiations, he will bring out what has happened and persuade Portugal to abandon its illusions about the Western powers, and they only value Portugal's wealth.

Portugal relied on the Western powers to restore the country, but only to seek the skin of the tiger, and finally annexed the wealth of Portugal, Portugal broke away from the Ace Duck and became the younger brother of the Western powers, so it could not justifiably plunder the wealth of Portugal.

If Portugal wanted to use money to win over France and England to support their restoration, they would end up running out of money.

"Your country has already suffered a lot of losses, right?" Wang Hongyu ruthlessly exposed the old bottom of Portugal, and asked the Marquis of Marialva in a very positive tone.

The Marquis of Marialva knew that he couldn't hide it, so in order to show that Portugal was truly allied with the Ming Dynasty, he had to tell the truth. The other powers not only did not help, but also took advantage of the fire to loot.

The Marquis of Marialva is a hereditary title in Portugal, and has a pivotal position in Portugal, and many of João IV's decisions have to be implemented by him.

Now the Netherlands has formed an alliance with the Wa Kingdom, and the Portuguese industry in the Wa State has been annexed by the Wa State, and the Portuguese business in the Wa State has been replaced by the Netherlands, and now only the business of the Ming Dynasty is still in the hands of the grapes.

However, the shipping channel was blocked by the Netherlands, and seeing that the huge interests of trade with the Ming were about to be interrupted, the European maritime powers outside the Netherlands extended olive branches to the Ming Dynasty, and as long as the Ming nodded, the business of the Ming Dynasty would also change hands.

Daming can't afford to wait, and the merchants of Daming can't afford to wait, Han Jun has already put this urgent question on the table under the instruction of Wang Hongyu, and said that the businessmen are forming a group, asking the imperial court to allow other Western businessmen to enter Daming.

Han Jun sang black, Wang Hongyu sang red, and the two of them were relaxed. It's cleverly coordinated. Those who know regard Han Jun as the governor of the second grade, and those who don't know still think that this polite old man is a giant businessman of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Wang Hongyu sighed that Han Jun's previous governor was not in vain, and in the past few years, Baoding has supported less than half of Liaodong's manpower and material resources, and it can also ensure that the local economy is thriving, and it seems that the economy of Zhilu should also be caught by Han Jun.

The negotiations went well, and in order to show sincerity, Portugal was willing to give a part of the Nanyang territory to the Ming Dynasty that it would regain from the Netherlands in the future, and also for the sake of Portugal's safety in the South Seas, after all, the Portuguese population was too small.

If Portugal is restored, Macao and Malacca will belong to the Ming Dynasty, and Portugal will only retain trading stations and residential areas in the local area, and accept the Ming Dynasty.

The two sides formed an alliance against the Netherlands, the Wa Kingdom, and the Jiannu Kingdom.

Since then, Daming and Portugal have both prospered, lost and helped each other.

Portugal hopes that Daming will participate in the construction of Brazil as soon as possible.

The Ming Dynasty provided support for Portugal's recovery.

If Portugal is to be rehabilitated, it will be discussed at the next higher-level talks.
