The Ming Dynasty rule, no one can stop the sermons who conveyed the urgent comments, and any yamen can enter. Although the cabinet is the leader of the six ministries and the military is important, the sermons can also enter. In a moment, a sermon who is wearing breeches rushed in, still shouting for a great victory.

"I am here to see the emperor, long live my emperor." The first person of the monk didn't know that the emperor was here. At this time, he saw a man in Zhu Guanqiong sitting on the upper head, two Grand Secretary standing beside him, and several counselors did not dare to sit on the court. He immediately understood and hurriedly greeted him.

Zhu Jun raised his hand and said, "Get up and bring the certificate of victory."

The monk immediately took off the long wooden box behind him and carefully held it to Zhu Jun. The ink was sealed on the long box. A little eunuch immediately found a knife. Zhu Jun then cut open the ink and took out the fold. It looked serious. The document was written very long. Zhu Jun applauded while watching. No matter what, he could not have imagined that the battle would be so smooth, as if he had the help of God. The trigger point of victory was because of his rumor.

After reading it, Zhu Jun handed the note to Mu Tianbo and Yang Side for circulating it. The two of them smiled and wished each other: "Long live my emperor."

Zhu Jun raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with me? It is the result of the soldiers' efforts. Immediately inform the world of the news of the victory and prepare the Ministry of War to reward meritorious personnel."

"As for your order." Mu Tianbo took the letter and replied.

Zhu Jun was in a good mood and did not disturb the cabinet's office. He drove back to the palace. He had sent someone to call the British envoy Jason to meet him, so he had to prepare in advance.

The car stopped at the cold winter pavilion. Zhu Jun entered the pavilion for a while. The eunuch outside informed the British envoy Jason to see him. Zhu Jun sat upright with a solemn expression on his face and said to the eunuch beside him: "Shut him in."

"Publican: The British Envoy Jason met with him." A loud shout came from afar.

Jason walked in with great spirit. He was very impressed by the experiences in Haidu in the past few months. There were countless huge factories in the development zone and a continuous shipyard near the port. He realized the terrible potential of the Ming Dynasty. The Dutch might be able to dominate the Ming Dynasty. However, due to local restrictions, just about the land area and population factors, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty Navy would easily kill the Dutch and monopolize the trade around the world. Jason was like an investor at this time. He finally discovered a gold mine that had not yet been developed. If he could maintain a certain good relationship with the Ming Dynasty before European countries, it would be best to sign a once-and-for-all agreement. Then Britain might ride on the Ming Dynasty to explore the world and get everything the kingdom needed.

Jason once thought about competing with the Ming Dynasty. But soon he gave up the idea. Britain was simply not worth mentioning in Daming's eyes. This huge empire has ten times more land area and population than Britain. Its industrial capacity and various technologies are at least twenty years ahead of Britain. Under such a gap, Britain has no competitive potential. As early as ten years ago, the British king might have tried to defeat the Netherlands and gain European trade monopoly and global colonial hegemony. But now, when they find a new and stronger empire standing in front of them, this idea is ridiculous. In any case, at least in Jason's heart, the Ming Dynasty is an invincible place. It not only has strong strength, but also countless potentials to be developed.

Jason saluted Zhu Jun. Zhu Jun nodded to him and signaled him to get closer to the conversation. Jason held a hat and walked to the side of Zhu Jun's imperial case: "Your Majesty, thank you for your meeting. My subordinates feel very honored." Jason seemed even more humble this time. He even spoke smoothly in Chinese. He had a premonition that he wanted to create history. Perhaps this time the conversation could affect the entire European continent's power structure.

Zhu Jun said: "I heard that you seem to be unable to reach an agreement with the Ministry of Rites. Is your country unwilling to enter into an alliance?"

Compared with Jason's excited mood, Zhu Jun seemed much colder. He coaxed and deceived him, and then took out a big stick to threaten him. This is Zhu Jun's negotiation philosophy. Therefore, Zhu Jun threatened Jason first and was unwilling to enter into an alliance. He put pressure on this.

Jason hurriedly said, "No. On behalf of the king, I am very interested in forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty." Jason hurriedly cleared the relationship: "There are no problems with the general details. It is just that the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty unanimously demanded that our country must serve the Ming Dynasty with the etiquette of the vassal ministers. This does not seem to be the purpose of our cooperation. Your Majesty. We should treat it equally."

After Jason finished speaking, seeing Zhu Jun’s face gloomy, he added: “Of course, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is enough to surpass England. The etiquette of the following countries in England is not without obstacles. It’s just that England is far away from home and abroad. If you still have to pay tribute on time every year, the conditions are too harsh. I hope Your Majesty can give England the privilege of abolishing the tribute.

”

For Jason, the nominal system of the vassal state is nothing, the problem is that once

The Ming vassal states had to continuously transfer annual monies, which was allowed by the British who valued interests.

Zhu Junhe nodded. If the British really traveled thousands of miles a year to pay tribute according to the rules, it would be a bit immoral. With the current national strength of the United Kingdom, there would be no profit to be found: "Since that is the case, Britain can pay tribute every five years, how about it?"

Every five years? Jason began to calculate in his mind. He always felt that it was not very cost-effective. He had to send money to others to make an alliance. If he returned to England, even if the king was not angry, he might have become a rat crossing the street.

Seeing that Jason was still hesitant: "After Britain surrendered, it accepted the protection of the Ming Dynasty. British merchants suffered difficulties from other countries in any area of ​​the world, which can be regarded as a provocation to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty is in one day, Britain will always be safe."

Zhu Jun threw out a 'big killer', which was definitely a very favorable clause for Britain, which was attacked by the Spanish Invincible Fleet decades ago and was involved in the quagmire of the Hundred Years of War between Britain and France two hundred years ago. This means that the British people's local area will be under the protection of the Ming Dynasty, and the interests of British merchants can be guaranteed to a certain extent. In Europe, although Britain raised a group of pirates to plunder everywhere, the entire Nordic and even the Dutch had a group of pirates plundering merchant ships from other countries everywhere, and even in many European ports.

When a ship arrives, people will always ask them if they are merchants or pirates. Pirates were not a disgraceful profession in the eyes of Europeans at that time. To be more precise, at least they are legal as merchants. The prerequisite is that your rabbit must not be allowed to eat grass beside your nest. While the British pirates rob other countries' merchant ships, the merchant ships were also robbed by pirates from other countries. If Britain could rob others without worrying about being robbed by others, it would be so wonderful. King William would probably wake up from a laugh even in his dreams.

"Your Majesty, I agree with your plan, but I have another suggestion.

"Jason continued: "This covenant must be unique. Britain does not want His Majesty to sign similar military protection agreements with other European countries. Your Majesty, do you see?"

This is the focus of Jason's interview, and what he wants is uniqueness. Only in this way can Britain, which has been protected by the Ming Dynasty, get everything they need in Europe.

Zhu Jun nodded in agreement, only one lackey is enough. Britain's geographical location is the best place to monitor the European continent. The Ming Dynasty can rely on Britain to implement a glorious independence policy to sow discord and curb the rise of a powerful country. If diplomatic methods cannot be effective, then the Ming Navy can also use Britain as a base to launch a war against the European continent, nipping any danger in the bud.

Jason finally felt relieved and nodded happily: "Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity. Let's wait and see. In addition, I have a gift to give to Your Majesty."

"Oh? Gift?" Zhu Jun looked at Jason.

"Yes, the pearl above the head of the Dutch consul, do you have a map here?"

Zhu Jun ordered, and the little eunuch immediately took out a map and spread it on the imperial case. Jason came over and pointed to India's location: "This is the only colony in the East of the Netherlands. The Dutch established a fort in Ceylon to rule in East India. Your Majesty, the Dutch were greatly weakened in the East. If Your Majesty is willing, you can take this land into your pocket at any time." Speaking of this, a sly smile appeared on Jason's face: "Dutch East India Company is actually on the verge of disintegration under the blows of the pen. They are preparing to sell this territory in Europe. So far, both Portugal and Spanish are willing to acquire it at high prices. Your Majesty, I have a very good suggestion."

India? Zhu Jun began to recall that the British gained dominance in India at the end of this century. At that time, the Netherlands was defeated by Britain and had no choice but to sell East India to Britain. Britain, based on East India, continued to embezzle India's land, and finally formed the territory of India in later generations. Perhaps it was because of the re-rise of the Ming Dynasty and the attack on the Dutch East India Company in the South China Sea that the prominent East India Company collapsed early, so the agenda for selling the East India colony was naturally advanced. Now Britain has just risen, and it does not have enough money to buy this land like Spain and Portugal, so it simply gave Buddha to the country with flowers, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could buy East India. In this way, Britain can also get a share of the pie and at least get the trade rights of East India.

Zhu Jun felt that the logic of these Westerners was very strange. Although the two countries were still enemies, they had no taboos when selling their property. In fact, the Dutch almost offended all his neighbors in Europe. European countries were dissatisfied with the Netherlands. If they were in the East, the Dutch would not have sold colonies to enhance the strength of the opposing countries.
