Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Nothing major happened in the court, so Emperor Tianqi concentrated all his energy on negotiations with the Portuguese and Spanish.  Emperor Tianqi was very concerned about this matter.  At this time, Emperor Tianqi received the Portuguese envoy. For the Portuguese who could not wait, they must seize this opportunity.  Riel has made all preparations and is confident that he can deal with any problems Emperor Tianqi has.  "Two special envoys, I already know your request. Now please tell me in detail!" Emperor Tianqi smiled and looked at the two Portuguese special envoys. His tone was very consistent and it was easy for people to like him.  "Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, we have come all the way, just hoping to get help from Ming Dynasty. In my country, the war is raging, and the arrogant Spaniards have occupied our country. We people who are wandering overseas are thinking about restoring our motherland all the time.  Glory." Riel's face was very sad. He was not pretending. After all, Portugal was occupying the country at this time. These words naturally came from the bottom of his heart.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi also showed a look of sympathy on his face, saying: "Force cannot make people surrender, what can make people surrender is always justice. I sympathize with your experience, but your country is far away  The Ming Dynasty is really too far away. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that it is beyond the reach of the whip. I wonder if the two envoys have heard of it? "Unlike Riel, Emperor Tianqi is just acting. For Emperor Tianqi, whether it is Portugal or  Spain, those are all potential enemies.  The most important thing is to be able to make profits and catch up with the pace of the maritime era as soon as possible.  As for the Spaniards, whether there are people in Spain, or even the Dutch, it would be better if their heads were beaten into dog heads!  However, the attitude should still be there.  It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t agree to any substantive conditions.  "Dear His Majesty the Emperor, we very much hope to get Ming's help, but His Majesty the Emperor has misunderstood. We do not want the Emperor to directly send troops to Portugal. The shame needs to be washed away by oneself. Only by donating blood can the shame be washed away. We will work hard to do it!"  A look of hatred flashed across Riel's face.  At the same time, he seemed to be full of gratitude to Emperor Tianqi. As to whether he was sincere or not, only God knows.  "I wonder what the special envoy would like me to help with? But it doesn't matter. Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a country of etiquette. If I can help, I will definitely help." Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile.  A warm-hearted look.  ??It¡¯s almost time to talk nonsense, Riel knows it¡¯s time to get down to business!  Although the emperor in front of him is young.  But Riel knew that this was a very difficult person to deal with.  After being in contact with officials of the Ming Dynasty for so long, Riel found that they did not know much about overseas.  In the mainstream view of the Ming Dynasty, only the Ming Dynasty is the celestial kingdom, and other places are barbarians.  The disdain they carried deep down in their bones made them disdain being with the barbarians.  I originally thought that the emperor was also like this. As long as he lowered his attitude, he should be able to get help from Ming Dynasty.  But Riel has put this idea away now.  I still need to use actual benefits to convince the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.  "Your Majesty the Emperor. I heard that Your Majesty intends to launch sea trade. Portugal has some experience in this area, but it is necessary to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. You must know that sea trade requires ships. Ships that can sail across the ocean are very important. At the same time, you must have people who understand  We hope to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor to build warships and do business together. "Riel really hopes that Emperor Tianqi will be a talented and strategic emperor, as long as the emperor's interest in sea trade is  As a result, Riel believed that his chance would come.  Emperor Tianqi¡¯s interest in sea trade does not require riel to seduce him, it exists from the deepest part of his heart.  For a time traveler, if you don¡¯t know what maritime trade means in this era.  That is definitely not a qualified time traveler.  Emperor Tianqi was still very tempted by Riel's conditions. After all, whether it was experience in ocean navigation or building warships, these were what the Ming Dynasty lacked.  After all, from Zheng He's voyages to the present, two hundred years can change a lot of things.  Looking at Riel, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Special envoy Riel, I don't quite understand what you mean!" Cunning!  Riel gave Emperor Tianqi such an evaluation in his heart!  Obviously the emperor didn't want to put forward the conditions himself; he wanted to put them forward himself, and he agreed.  This time Riel really guessed it right. After all, the emperor of a country really has the right to talk about these things.  Besides, this is the Ming Dynasty. If the news spreads, I'm afraid there will be a huge uproar.  "Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, we hope to jointly build ships with the Ming Dynasty. We will provide the shipbuilding technology, and the Ming Dynasty will provide the craftsmen and materials. We hope that the emperor can use one-third of the warships to be built in the future.Leave it to us Portuguese.  One-third of the number cannot be less than thirty warships, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will grant it.  " Riel put forward his conditions and looked at Emperor Apocalypse carefully. This is what he wants most, as for the others, they are details. Want to restore Spain's past glory, want to take back the colonies occupied by the Spanish,  Then we must go through war. Without warships, it is useless. With the huge national support of the Ming Dynasty, this is the most important thing. With warships, we can trade. This is the most important thing.  Looking at Riel, Emperor Apocalypse smiled and waved his hand. Although he wanted to get the technology and experience of the Portuguese, paying one-third of the warships was too costly for Emperor Apocalypse. His own finances were already tight.  , you still want to intervene, how can that be done? "Envoy Riel, I think you also know the cost of building a fleet, and it will take time.  You need thirty warships. If you let Ming deliver them in ten years, there will be no problem!  "Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile. He didn't believe that the Portuguese would agree to such a condition. "Your Majesty, ten years is too long, three years is enough!  " Riel saw that Emperor Apocalypse seemed to be joking, but he did not dare not be serious. After waving his hand, Emperor Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "We need to build a shipyard. You also know that this is not a small matter.  If you want to get thirty warships in three years, you can't just use technology.  Half of the cost needs to be spent to ensure the operation of the shipyard.  Seeing that Riel still wanted to speak, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said, "I can promise you that I will deliver all the first thirty ships to you."  Of course, you have to pay for the cost of building the ship yourself. This is very important. The time is set at three years!  ¡± In the view of Emperor Tianqi, the most important thing for the Portuguese is experience and technology. Now there is a shipyard in Tianjin, and the speed of production is not slow. He is building a shipyard with the Portuguese, and he only needs to deliver thirty ships to them.  Then he can get the technology and experience of the Portuguese and build a shipyard at half the cost. This is the key. Riel fell into deep thought at this time. He felt that his idea was very good, but he did not expect this.  He was immediately confused by Emperor Tianqi. He was very confused. If he could have a ship, it would mean he was rich! Being able to get thirty ships as quickly as possible was definitely not something that could be measured by money.  Riel still didn't understand, what did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty want to do? But this was not a question that he should consider. "My dear Emperor, I don't know."  When are you going to start sea trade?  " "If we can reach an agreement, I am ready to start shipbuilding on the Fujian Shipbuilding Ship immediately. Of course, I need your experience and technology.  By next year at the latest, there should be ships on the water. In this case, I will start sea trade with the outside world.  Before that, I will clear the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible and remove obstacles to the opening of the sea!  "Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile, and said with a very relaxed expression. Gritting his teeth, Riel felt relieved and said: "Your Majesty, we hope to obtain the trading rights in the Ming Dynasty. If the Emperor agrees, we will  We agreed to the matter!  " Emperor Tianqi felt a burst of joy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He nodded and said, "Okay!  very good!  I promise you. As for how to do it specifically, there will be a dedicated person to talk to you.  Once things are settled, we can sign a treaty.  " "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!  "Riel was relieved to be able to finalize the matter. Although it cost more money than expected, it didn't matter. Although people like him were living in Macau, they still had money. Moreover, once they can enjoy trade,  The money is not as much as you want. Now that Spain has declined, the Portuguese in Macau have received assistance from the country before Riel came. This is for the rejuvenation of the country! The royal family has agreed to cooperate with Ming Dynasty, and there will be people with this money.  "By the way, there is one more thing, I hope you can agree to it!  "Emperor Tianqi seemed to have remembered something again, looked at Riel with a smile and said. "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. As long as I can do it, I will do my best.  " Riel was stunned, thinking that Emperor Apocalypse was going to regret it, and his heart suddenly lifted. After looking at Riel, Emperor Apocalypse smiled and said: "I hope to hire some people from you Portuguese people, and I hope you won't stop it.  .  " "It is their blessing to be valued by His Majesty the Emperor.  Your Majesty the Emperor may choose, but as long as they have no objections, we will not interfere.  "Riel breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a small thing. (To be continued)  ps: I went on a business trip for two days and came back at midnight yesterday!  I will be resting these days and don¡¯t have to go to work. I will write more. I¡¯m sorry everyone!
