Chapter 444: Ban Duck Chooses to Cooperate with Da Ming

Wang Hongyu said solemnly: "The Ming Dynasty formed an alliance with Ace Duck, led by Portugal, and the independence of Portugal was exchanged for endless wealth and strong support from the East. I believe that many people can accept this statement."

Han Jun followed up with a supplementary explanation: Daming will arrange for goods from the East to be transported through Seville and Lisbon except for those destined for the Americas and Africa, rather than to competitors such as Amsterdam.

Within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, he restrained all the eastern trade and sold it to the hands of Aceban Duck, Portuguese merchants, and officials, and did not allow other countries and merchants to intervene.

The most ideal state is that in the future, all trade between the East and the West, and all important commodity transportation, are in the hands of Daming, Acebanya, and Portugal.

The Count of Olivares had always been unhappy with the Ming Dynasty's support for Portugal's independence from Esbanya's rule.

But when he heard this, and that the wealth trade that was so rich that it would prosper forever was only through the hands of three parties, he must have been tempted.

All the trade between the East and the West goes from the hands of the three parties...... He knows very well how many products there are in Europe, and he probably knows that the goods of the Ming Dynasty and even the East can be multiplied several times in Europe.

Daming, Ace Duck and Portugal are just at the opposite ends of the Eurasian continent, and they happen to be the two most developed regions of eastern and western shipping.

"I feel a very strong sincerity, and your kindness and strength are acceptable to even my lord." Count Olivares bowed in salute.

He prayed and said, "But the independence of Portugal is not something I can decide after all, nor is it something that our delegation can decide. I assure you that I will do my best to explain to the king, the queen, and the people, and to give an account according to your suggestion."

Wang Hongyu knew that this was the best result: "Prime Minister, your sincere attitude and rational understanding make me feel that I have really found a great friend, and I look forward to our cooperation to build a trade system between the East and the West, and achieve the strongest cooperation between the two ends of the Eurasian continent."

After reaching a consensus on this matter, a lot of things can be discussed.

This time, the two sides were polite and distant, and then there was only a little consensus in the fierce quarrel, and then they were arguing with each other, and finally the atmosphere was familiar, and there was more and more cooperation.

Wang Hongyu listened to Banya's suggestion to buy more European goods, at present, Daming sells more things, buys less things, and feels a bit of a loss no matter how much silver Banya has, and hopes that Huaxia will buy more.

"Of course, we will definitely buy good things, but we have hidden weapons before, and we have not given good seeds to American crops, and we will definitely buy good ones."

"Okay, since it's a joint effort to deal with the enemy and build a trade system between the East and the West, then you can sell it." Earl Ao made a decision, and there are many good things that were not sold before that can be sold to Huaxia.

Then the Count of Olivares listened to Wang Hongyu's advice: not to fight França, but to contain it, to fight and pull it economically, to form a broad united front against the main enemy.

"França is indeed not weak, and the army is no worse than us, that is, second-rate at sea. It's not worth it." Earl O's approval of Wang Hongyu's suggestion.

"In the future, in the Americas, Banya will have Mexico and the vast land south of it, and I will have a vast and barren west, but I will also have to go to the east coast of North America and drive out the trading posts and colonies of England. Further north, you can get França involved."

Wang Hongyu said about the division of North America.

"That's right...... We really don't have the strength to drive França and England out. It is indeed in our better interest to stay in França and get rid of England. But ......"

Count Olivares hesitated for a moment and said, "You haven't set foot in the Americas yet, do you have a way to get from the West Coast all the way to the East Coast? If you move slowly, I won't have a place to wait for you."

"Hahahaha~ The Earl underestimated Huaxia's material resources."

Wang Hongyu smiled slightly, as long as he agreed to such a division, he didn't have to worry about the speed and slowness.

The population and material resources of the Ming Dynasty can be accounted for.

"Well, let me warn you, north of North America and Mexico, is barren and has aggressive Indians

。 Those of us who are most familiar with the Americas think that we can't handle North America, and that the West Coast is a desolation within a desolate place, and you can take it, but don't expect us to provide supplies."

"It's okay, just provide some maps."

"Okay, in order to build the trade between the East and the West, only our three-way transport will change hands, and in order to drive England out of North America, we will provide."

Count O'Earl signaled to the representatives of the Governors of Mexico and Cuba and provided the corresponding maps after the meeting.

"Good~"

A big stone in Wang Hongyu's heart fell to the ground.

After all, the population of Aceban Duck is small, and it is impossible to detect the large amount of gold on the west coast of North America, let alone that the Mississippi River will become the second Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which will support North America's industry and agriculture to incredible heights with strong water transportation capacity.

The Great Plains of North America is extremely cold in winter, and the north wind blows, and people in hot places like Yobilia can't stand it.......

But the people of Daming have seen the terror of the much more powerful Siberian cold current, the Xiaoice River mixed with the cold Siberian air.

The Great Plains of North America is Chinese~

Other topics were also discussed.

If there is a dispute for the time being, we will hold further negotiations when the time is ripe, and eventually there will be a plan acceptable to both sides.

After arguing on the basis of reason, the two sides finally reached a mutually beneficial agreement, and decided to deepen trade cooperation and further military cooperation between the two sides.

In every discussion, Count Olivares was able to learn a lot from Wang Hongyu, Wang Hongyu had never been to Europe, and those missionaries sent by the Holy See had been in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and even those who were recruited later did not know anything about the upper echelons of the Ace Duck.

Wang Hongyu came to his conclusions with rigorous reasoning, and he was able to accurately judge what happened or will happen in Esbanya and the West.

He can analyze the changes in Ace Duck and even Europe decades before and after a very good place, as if he is in the scene. The analysis of many things made Count Olivares convinced.

Over the years, Ace Duck has indeed encountered unprecedented trouble, and Count Olivares has made a response to Ace Duck's troubles:

Wang Hongyu and Count Olivares discussed the best medicine: reviving a strong royal power to revive the country, unifying the broken monarchy to make it a more united whole, conveying to the new generation of elites the dedication to fighting for the country, and expanding the base of the elite group.

The inclusion of people of non-Castilian origin, groups of non-pure-blood, within the ruling group, even by heretical ideas and techniques, will only be exploited if they can open up new sources of wealth for the country.

The Chinese, in particular, are welcome to develop in Yombilia.

In terms of trade and politics, some support and protection will be provided.
