The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 427

In June of the second year of Longwu of the Ming Dynasty, General Duobelle Boluo led the army to invade Fujian and broke several cities within ten days, surrounding Xianxia Pass and Fenshui Pass. Although Emperor Longwu, the Nanming monarch in Fuzhou, was only Zheng’s puppet, but still had the world in mind, and felt that the building was about to fall, and began to plan the imperial conquest to save the ancestor’s family business. At the same time, ten armed merchant ships flying the Swedish imperial lion flag also arrived in Taiwan from the south and the north, and Waiting for the summons from Fuzhou.

The merchant envoy of the Swedish Empire expressed goodwill to Zheng Zhilong, the actual controller of the Nanming Longwu court through the Dutch governor of Batavia two months ago, hoping that the Swedish Empire could establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, and was willing to support the Nanming Longwu court. Confronting the Qing Dynasty in exchange for most-favored-nation treatment.

Pirates and merchants are essentially plundering wealth. Zheng Zhilong originally wanted to do Sai Wufeng, the contemporary king of Huizhou. Later, as the current situation in the mainland changed, he wanted to do Lu Buwei and Cao Cao. Therefore, all his behaviors are still pursued by the pursuit of maximum benefits. Because of this, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one or two months later, hoping to exchange Fujian as a fief. Unfortunately, the last deal was missed.

While the Swedish empire communicated with Zheng Zhilong through the Dutch side and released friendship, His Excellency Nicholas, Duke of Daming Pingguo, first learned about the position of the Swedish empire in Europe through the Dutch and Portuguese, and then understood that as a rising empire, Sweden Obviously, he is full of military virtues, and the godfather Regent, who is in power, is like the northern Qing Dynasty uncle and regent Dorgon, who wants to establish unworldly meritorious deeds.

After understanding in detail that the Swedish empire is not only a European army power but also a maritime power, Zheng Zhilong is ready to see him. If the Swedish empire can really help the Longwu court to repel the Qing army that went south, he can still hold the emperor to make the princes in the future. , Continue to become the actual controller of Daming, which is even more tempting than the Wang Jue given by Hong Chengchou.

So when the Swedish merchant ship arrived in Batavia, Umison, Lixstrom, Liu Fu and others all knew the Longwu court’s response, so after a short rest, they headed north to Fuzhou Miansheng.

After ten Galen ships, which are bigger than the Fu ship, entered the Fuzhou port, Umisin and Lixstrom standing on the deck of the flagship knew that they had finally arrived at the important port of Khitan.

Looking at the shack, houses and carved beams and paintings in the distance, the Chinese-style architecture of pavilions and pavilions, Umisen and Lixstrom are nothing but surprises and novelties, but Liu Fuqu

red eyes, muttered in his mouth: “I saw Fuzhou, and I thought about the time of Xihan…

Bai, mom, wow, I’m back…”

After a while, a white-faced man in a red robe walked to the pier and stood still under the leadership of several military commanders. At this time, Umisen, Lixstrom and Liu Fu happened to be accompanied by a Dutch interpreter.

After a brief exchange with Liu Fu and others, Lixstrom and others learned that the official in red robe was the **** eunuch of Emperor Daming, and he was here to reward everyone with drinks, but this **** seemed to represent Emperor Daming. However, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty respected a heroic young man with narrow-eyed sword eyebrows beside the eunuch.

Liu Fu whispered to Umisen and Lixstrom that this young man was called Zhu Chenggong, who was regarded as a godson by Emperor Longwu of the Ming Dynasty. He was also the son of Pingguo, the most powerful man in the country. He is now the commander of the army in the imperial camp. , The head of the Royal Gendarmerie Regiment, was of a positive grade, and he was wearing an imperial bullfighting suit. Obviously he was the official who came to receive the reception on behalf of Emperor Ming and Heping.

Umison was fine, but Lixstrom remembered that Olaf had told him before leaving that Ming Guo’s Zheng Chenggong or Zhu Chenggong was the most suitable doer for cooperation, so he looked at Zhu carefully. To succeed, I hope to remember this young nobleman of Mingguo.

The two sides communicated with Liu Fu and others through an interpreter. After a while, they took a carriage and left the pier. After a while, they arrived in front of a huge courtyard.

Liu Fu recognized that the tribute factory Rouyuan Post had arrived, so he turned to Lixstrom and Umisen who got off the bus and said: “This is the residence of the envoy of the Ryukyu King Zhongshan of the Ming Dynasty, so it is also called the Ryukyukan by the people. Fuzhou is the most decent place for foreigners to live in.”

Although Liu Fu is an official of the United Grand Duchy of Iceland and even the Swedish Empire, he is limited by the thinking of the celestial dynasty, and subconsciously thinks that the Western empire is inferior to the Ming Dynasty. He does not feel that he and others are placed in the Ryukyu Pavilion by the Longwu court. , But Lixstrom and Umison frowned.

The two are the highest figures representing the Swedish Empire and the United Grand Duchy of Iceland. Although they have their own missions, they also understand that the first visit to Mingguo was placed in a place that Mingguo prepared for the vassal state. If they moved in, it would be equal to Acknowledging the status of the Swedish empire and the Ryukyu state of the daimyo that he represents.

Although Europe’s identification of national status is different from that of the East, it is still detrimental for the two to live in such a muddle, especially Lixstrom as the highest envoy will absolutely not tolerate it.

Tom’s red hair flicked and said excitedly: “Mr. Liu, please tell your Excellency Zhu Chenggong that the Swedish Empire is also the most powerful empire in Europe. Is it too rude for Ming to treat us like this? The representative can’t stay in the residence of Ming Dynasty’s subject country in any case!”

Liu Fu’s face was horrified when he heard the words. He sweated anxiously. He walked quickly to Zheng Chenggong, who looked puzzled, and bowed and said, “Master Guo, please change our place of stay for us.”

Zheng Chenggong frowned and asked, “Mr. Liu, are there any dissatisfaction with Master Thom and Master Wu?”

Liu Fu was worried about whether he would fall out of favor by Olaf because of this incident after he returned to Europe, so he hurriedly bowed and said: “The Tribute Factory Rouyuan Post was built by Daming for the vassal state. We are in front of the Swedish Empire. I came here to establish diplomatic relations with Daming on an equal footing, not to pay tribute~www.mtlnovel.com~ so I beg your country to choose another place.”

Although the building is about to fall, Daming has a certain foundation to save and control Yunnan, Guizhou, Huguang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces. Therefore, it is more powerful than the future Yongli court, and is more willing to bite the teeth to support the heavenly kingdom. shelf.

If it were not for the Longwu imperial court that is now plagued by internal and external troubles, and the Zheng family, who knows that foreigners are in power, I am afraid that the Swedish empire’s plan to establish diplomatic relations on an equal footing without tribute this time would have to return without success.

Tomorrow’s dignity is the master of the world. Could it be the king’s land in the whole world, and the prince’s court, which country can establish diplomatic relations with the emperor on an equal footing? How can there be two suns in the sky?

Zhu Chenggong was a person who opened his eyes to see the world. He was also a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. He knew that the Swedish Empire had been in the West in recent years. The time, speed and location of the rise of the Swedish Empire were similar to those of the Qing Dynasty in the north of Ming Dynasty. So he knew in his heart that the Swedish Empire would be true. As the previous messenger said to support Daming, Daming will also be able to get the most advanced warships, artillery, muskets and tactics in the West, which will definitely enhance the strength of the Longwu court.

Even after the establishment of a transportation merchant, the Swedish Empire may still be willing to send troops and money to support the Northern Expedition of Ming Dynasty. The Zheng family can also do business out of the East through the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Swedish Empire and subdue the red-haired ghosts.

Integrating all the benefits, Zheng Chenggong felt that the establishment of diplomatic relations between Daming and Sweden on an equal footing was really a basic operation.
