811 Let's talk

Sun Chuanting only saw that the new Portugal king was actually wearing Confucian uniforms, and his first impression was very good.

In addition, Theodosio took the initiative to provide a large amount of food and supplies, which solved his urgent needs and made him even more favorable.

Therefore, the meeting between the two sides was held in a friendly atmosphere from the beginning.

Especially when Sun Chuanting heard Theodosio's initiative to demand that he ascend the throne and wants the imperial enthronement of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting was even happier.

This shows that Ming Weiga has been far away from places like Europe overseas. This has never happened before.

Therefore, he immediately agreed to Theodosio and immediately reported to Nanjing to report his request.

Communications from Suez City to Nanjing are the primary matter outside military conquests. Not only are local governments at all levels responsible, but the troops stationed in various places have special protection. As long as there are found that there are those who destroy the telephone line, they can be killed on the spot. Or they will be executed in public after being caught.

Although it is a bit exaggerated to pull the telephone line wherever the army goes. However, this exaggeration is also very limited. After all, it was the premise that the Ming Dynasty kept communications regardless of the cost.

The war with the Ottoman Empire has been over for more than half a year. The war between the Ming army encircled and suppressed the rebellious tribes on the Arabian Peninsula has come to an end, so the telephone line naturally reached Suez City.

However, the phone call cannot be called directly back to Nanjing. There are many places where the cable is temporarily unable to be pulled, and the message needs to be manually transferred to the next phone point.

But no matter what, the news can be transmitted to Nanjing in four days and then sent back, which was definitely the fastest in ancient times.

In terms of identity, Sun Chuanting's Governor was actually an imperial envoy, and was the imperial envoy who was ordered by the Censorate to govern the local military affairs. Therefore, his identity was higher than that of the kings of the vassal states.

Just like in the past North Korea, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, was the immediate superior of the King of North Korea, and could give orders to North Korea. Of course, North Korea could also send envoys to the capital.

Therefore, before waiting for the court's reply, Sun Chuanting naturally could not accompany a king of a vassal state, and he had a lot to be busy with.

Theodosio naturally didn't want to be restrained, so he started to wander around Suez.

Although there are some buildings in Suez City that can see the Arabic style. However, more of them are Oriental Ming-style buildings. All the shops and shops on the streets are Chinese signs.

The pedestrians on the road were also full of Ming Dynasty Mandarin. Even if you can tell at a glance that they were not native to the Ming Dynasty, they were also speaking the bad Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

Walking on this Suez Street, Theodosio seemed to have returned to the Ming Dynasty, which made him miss his study abroad life when he was in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"I came here many years ago. The changes here are so great and prosperous. It feels like they are more than Paris!" One of his followers, after following him for a long time, couldn't help but sigh.

When Theodosio heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "What is this?"

Speaking of this, he showed a hint of yearning and said, "If you have the opportunity to go to the Ming Dynasty, you will know what the real prosperity is like! Just Paris, haha, it's just a small country town in the Ming Dynasty!"

When he heard this, his followers were shocked, and their imagination of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty immediately made them yearn for it.

Seeing them like this, Theodosio expressed his heart with emotion: "If I can bring Portugal into half of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty in my life, it will be worth my life!"

……………………

Three days later, Theodosio received an order and rushed to the Governor's Office to meet Sun Chuanting. It was because there was news from the court.

Theodosio was very excited about this. He knew very well that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would basically not refuse his request.

Sure enough, in the governor's lobby, just after seeing the ceremony, the Governor Sun of the Ming Dynasty, who had been rumored to have a cold face, as if everyone owed him money, said to him with a rare smile: "The emperor is very happy about your feelings. He has sent angels to come and will arrive in about two months."

"Long live my emperor, long live my life, long live my life!" When Theodosio heard this, he was very happy and hurriedly bowed to the direction where the Emperor of Ming was located according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing him doing this, Sun Chuanting was even more satisfied. When Theodosio finished salute, he said with a smile: "In addition, Your Majesty considers that once you are publicly enthroned, Portugal will be under great pressure. Therefore, I specially ordered you to sell a batch of new gunpowder!"

"New-style gunpowder?" Theodosio was a little surprised when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

Of course, he also heard that the range of muskets and cannons in the Ming army was farther than that of the Ottoman army. As for the guns and cannons themselves, they should be rifled and there was no trick. Before, he was still wondering what was going on?

When I heard this, Theodosio understood that it was because there were new types of gunpowder!

Now that the Ming Dynasty can give new gunpowder, this is the greatest support for Portugal! This means that Portugal will be stronger than other European countries in terms of military strength.

Afterwards, Sun Chuanting sent Yan Yingyuan to accompany Theodosio to the military battle outside Suez City, first letting him watch the different powers of black gunpowder and new gunpowder.

Not only is it as simple as triple power, but also includes the fact that the white gunpowder has no residue, which means that the rifled gun does not need to be cleaned, and the rate of fire can be accelerated a lot.

At the same time, explosives using white gunpowder, such as grenades and explosives, have officially started to appear, and can have practical effects.

All these things made Theodosio overjoyed and immediately bought it with a lot of money.

But it is a bit regrettable that the Ming Dynasty said that the production of this white gunpowder is limited, so the amount provided to Portugal is also limited, and it is no longer the open supply as before.

Theodosio regrets this, so he cherishes this white gunpowder very much.

"See, if I hadn't advocated that I would fulfill the duties of our vassal states and asked the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to send angels to enthrone and send so much food and supplies, then this white gunpowder would not have been available!" Theodosio said proudly to his subordinates.

In addition to seeing the power of white gunpowder, his followers agreed with him very much. Everyone was grateful that the new king had foresight.

In this way, the Portuguese group returned home with a full load. In addition to white gunpowder and arms made of white gunpowder, they also purchased many Ming products here, which were much more expensive than the local ones, but the advantage was near.

In addition, some Ming merchants also followed Theodosio and their ship to Portugal. These were usually merchants of some size from the Ming Dynasty who went to Portugal to open branches.

Their movements naturally could not hide the secret spies from other European countries. Therefore, after the envoys from other European countries landed, the relevant news was placed on their desks, which immediately caused their red-eye disease.

In order to get the same benefits as the Portuguese, the messengers of European countries who arrived one after another, including Spain, France, the Holy Roman Empire, etc., were respectful and humbly saying that they came to negotiate with the most sincere sincerity.

When Sun Chuanting heard the news, how could he not know what these Europeans who only have interests in their eyes are probably the purpose of?

He was too lazy to deal with them one by one, and left them alone. After he came to a lot of homes, he met them together.

On this day, in the lobby of the Governor of the Ming Dynasty, a group of envoys from various European countries stood in two rows. The Governor of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting, sat high above the main seat, and did not have the same negotiations between countries as in later generations.

Of course, European countries have opinions on this, but now they are asking for the Ming Dynasty. They expect envoys from other countries to raise objections, so that they will not offend the Ming Dynasty by the way.

Every messenger's wishful thinking was so loud, but in the end, no messenger could make the calculation sound. Until Sun Chuanting began to speak out in a condescending manner, no messenger said this. That's it, and it was like this.

So much so that later, the meeting between the Ming Dynasty and other countries was like this.

Of course, by then, there will be only division between the sect leader and the vassal state, and there will be no problem with such etiquette.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had a cold face with expressionless face and said coldly to the Western barbarians in front of him: "If you want to do business with me, you must follow the rules of my Ming Dynasty. If you want to be the same as Portugal, you must be my vassal state of my Ming Dynasty!"

This was said coldly, but a sense of domineering aura came to your face.

When the envoys from various European countries heard this, they were immediately unhappy. In their opinion, negotiations are just bargaining, and there are both back and forth. How could you Ming Kingdom be so domineering?

It concerns the interests of various countries, so naturally some people are dissatisfied and try to bargain.

The so-called bargaining means that your country is so powerful. You Mingguo cannot look down on us. You must talk about these conditions carefully.

What they said was annoyed by Sun Chuanting, and immediately raised his sleeves and shouted coldly to them: "Since ancient times, there is an old saying in China: All the world is the king's land, the shores of the earth are the king's ministers. Either surrender to the Ming Dynasty, or be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, you choose it yourself!"

Sun Chuanting knew these Western barbarians' natures, and if he didn't really defeat them, he would always be lucky.

The army's dressing was already underway, and the new guns gave him enough confidence. Instead of whining with these Western barbarians, it would be much easier to knock them down.
