My Daming New Empire

The two negotiated for a while, and Jin Chun must see the coach or the prince before he is willing to explain his intention.

Serra couldn't make a decision, so she sent a small boat back to deliver the order.

And Prince Henry, who was on the shore, had already observed Zhu Zhanji's flagship through the telescope. His curiosity about the Ming Fleet was far more serious than ordinary people.

Among other things, Prince Henry couldn't even imagine that there was a city wall built on the deck of the big ship.

He had never dreamed of such a huge ship.

Facing such a powerful opponent, he couldn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, the power balance was too great.

There is such a powerful country in this world, we don't even know it.

When Jin Chun's request was conveyed, he agreed to the other party's request without hesitation.

Now the other party is still treating each other with courtesy. If he really offends the other party, he does not believe that his more than 100 small boats can resist the attack of such a large army.

He was eager to know who the other party was, where he came from, and what he was doing here!

When Jin Chun's boat entered the breakwater, it leaned against the shore.Standing at the bow of the boat, Zhu Zhanji raised the binoculars in his hands with great interest, and couldn't help laughing as he watched the two sides on the shore performing their respective etiquette in a nondescript manner.

The Portuguese of this era, especially the aristocrats, wore black headcloths that looked like pot lids, which looked very funny.

The language barrier between the two sides, they can only have a difficult dialogue through Dashi's translation.

His flagship was parked only a little more than a kilometer from the shore. Through the telescope, he could clearly see everyone, and even everyone's expressions.

When Jin Chun finished reading the letter of credence written by himself with a little pride, it could be clearly seen that the Portuguese had an angry expression on his face.

Of course, Jin Chun read the Chinese national book, but what Zhu Zhanji handed to the other party was the letter of war written by Zhu Zhanji himself after asking the generals about some words in Spain today.

In the gauntlet, he stated with a superior attitude that Da Ming, as the only great empire in this world, is the arbiter of the entire world.They came to the West from the East, and not only brought countless exquisite commodities to the West, but also brought new rules to the whole world.

All countries must respect Ming as the kingdom of heaven. Except for Ming, no country can call itself an empire, at most it can only call itself a kingdom.

Daming is willing to trade with other countries and has submitted a trade list.

Then, Western countries should have freedom of religious belief, live in peace, and not use weapons at will.Portugal occupied Ceuta in Marin, which was an aggression against the other party. Daming accepted Marin's request to mediate the conflict between them.

The Portuguese should withdraw their troops within five days, otherwise, Ming's army will wipe out all the invaders.

It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that Daming's fleet was so terrifying, the Portuguese might have thought that a group of lunatics had arrived.

No matter what they think, Daming is going to make a gesture now.

It’s not that I look down on anyone, to Daming, your countries are rubbish.

Since you Westerners like the jungle, you pay attention to the law of the jungle.So from the very beginning, I want to let you know that I, Daming, are the best.

After reading the credentials, Prince Henry's hands were trembling, and he conveyed it through a translator. "Retiring troops is a major event for a country, and I, a prince, cannot make the decision."

Jin Chun said unceremoniously: My great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Jinkou Yuyan, said that five days are five days, and if you exceed this time, you will be beaten!

Of course, that's not what the original words said, but that's what it means.

Those big cannibals were the happiest. As translators, they added oil and vinegar in the middle.

Prince Henry looked at the boundless fleet outside the bay, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, who are you guys!

And the final date of the letter of credence made him feel even more chilling.

The nineteenth day of the eighth month of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, 4115.Although he doesn't know what the Yellow Emperor Calendar is, he still knows the meaning of the calendar. This civilization has been around for 4000 years.

And their Western civilization is only 1000 years old so far, how can they compare with each other!

Thanks for the bamboo stick, the director of the Tiandi Office, I spit on you, the black thunderstorm, the lights see people's rewards, thank you for your support

Chapter 49 The Storm

When Jin Chun returned to the flagship, Zhu Zhanji knew that the thin man who received him was the famous Prince Henry.

Seeing him standing on the shore like a lost soul, Zhu Zhanji did not face the excitement of the great man in history, let alone sympathy.

But thinking about how the Portuguese will respond?

Regardless of the Portuguese rushing to report to Lisbon day and night, the Ming fleet continued to sail eastward, swaggering through the market.Let the Castilians, that is, the Spaniards of later generations also know that I am coming to Ming Dynasty!

The fleet first arrived at the port of Cadiz, which is the most famous seaport in Spain. Columbus set out from here for two expeditions.

The first Zhu Zhanji lived here for a few months, and the second established a relationship with Gracia here, and he is very familiar with this place.

However, he absolutely didn't have the intention to go ashore for a stroll. The residents there were terrified when they saw Daming's fleet.

Even so, Zhu Zhanji still sent a ship to land, and also submitted a trade list with them, making a list of his products.

Through the transaction in Marin, Zhu Zhanji has realized it.This is not Nanyang. Nanyang countries have traded with Daming for a long time, and both sides are very familiar with each other.

When the Ming Fleet arrived, all the people who should be traded came by themselves.

But in the west, Daming is a rare visitor.Even if they come to a place, most people don't know they are here, let alone what products they have, so they come to trade with them.

Most of the time, the servant in charge of trade is waiting.

Therefore, the Ming Fleet does not conduct trade rashly now. How much trade can a small town have without preparation?

It's better to give a list, set a time for the transaction, and then trade.In this way, the local people are prepared, and the transaction volume will increase greatly.

After attacking Ceuta, the Ming Fleet will spread out, along Granada, Aragon, then to France, the Italian Peninsula, and then to Greece, the Mamluk Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire, Byzantium and other countries.

This is a trade trip, but also a demonstration trip.

Zhu Zhanji is not afraid that because of the strength of Ming Dynasty, European countries will unite against Ming Dynasty. The conflicts between them are no less than the hatred between them and pagans.

A very clear historical event in Zhu Zhanji's memory can show that the contradictions among European countries have become difficult to conceal.

In the mid-fifteenth century, about 40 years later in the original history, the Ottoman Empire had broken through Constantinople, and the whole of Europe was in panic.

But in the past five years, no matter what the Pope called, no country was willing to go to war with Ottoman.In five years, three popes died, and all countries ignored them.

It was not until Ottoman attacked Belgrade in Serbia that European countries panicked to form a coalition to resist the threat of Ottoman.

Later, it was Ottoman's own domestic changes and voluntary withdrawal of the army that allowed Europe to escape.

From this incident, we can see how big the contradictions among European countries are. Zhu Zhanji doesn't have to worry that they will unite at all.

Even if Catholic countries can unite, Protestant countries will ignore them. As for the Orthodox Church, it is because of the demise of Byzantium decades later that it completely opposes Catholicism.

Today's Europe is the darkness before dawn, and in front of Daming, they are a plate of sweet and delicious desserts.
