The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 428

Looking at Wang Shaojian and several civil servants from the Ministry of Rites, they all scoffed at Liu Fu, Thom and others’ demands, and spoke insultingly in the introduction.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly coughed. Just as he was about to speak first, he heard the courtesy officer Yu Qingze say: “Liu Fu, you are also a citizen of the celestial dynasty. Is it possible that you have turned your back on your ancestor when you become an official? Trouble to our court?”

Yu Qingze’s words were very rude. He obviously looked down on Liu Fu and other Ming men who had defected to foreign countries. Even though he knew that Liu Fu was already a high-ranking figure in the Swedish empire, comparable to a great figure of the chief ambassador and governor, he still regarded Liu Fu. He is a self-willing and degenerate villain, so his words are arrogant and full of disdain.

Liu Fu is also a scholar. He knows the principle of entering summer and entering Yidi to Yidi, but Liu Fu secretly compared Olaf with the powerful Swedish empire. He knew that although the heavenly dynasty was good, the building was about to fall, the best The situation is to maintain the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The more at this time, the less the Ming Dynasty was inferior to the Swedish Empire, so Liu Fu snorted when he heard the words, and said in a righteous voice: “Da Ming has the Qing Dynasty in the north, and the remnants of the gangsters in the west. Half of the country is trapped in the hands of people. This situation is still unclear. Is the situation? Mr. Yu, our Swedish empire is the largest power in the West. If we turn our heads to support the Qing Dynasty, I’m afraid…”

When Yu Qingze’s expression changed, his eyebrows were about to refute. Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said, “The Swedish empire is my great guest. Your Majesty is also eager to summon, Master Yu must not be disrespectful!”

Up to now, there are not many ministers with integrity. Yu Qingze’s ability to live up to now is obviously not a great scholar of the Zodiac and Monday, so he will not offend Zheng Chenggong, so he has to retreat after hearing this.

Liu Fu said to Zheng Chenggong: “My country’s surname, Master Thom was very angry when he learned that your country used the Ryukyu Gymnasium to house me. My Swedish empire is vast and does not lose to the Celestial dynasty. The rich and powerful is also the first in the West, and there are many vassals under him. Bangguo, if you also receive the envoy of Daming in the residence of the vassal envoy, you might be willing?”

“Besides, before I leave, my family’s sub-father regent Oku Chitose specially urged to establish friendly relations with Daming, and exchange what is needed. For this reason, I am willing to help the Longwu court from all levels. Dorgon, the regent of the Emperor’s uncle, are of equal status. If we turn around to talk to the Emperor Ama of the Qing Dynasty, would you say it will be smoother?”

Liu Fu’s words are inspiring, and there is an implicit threat in his words. Zheng Chenggong knows that what he is telling is also the truth. The Swedish Empire is now a young empress, who is in power by the noble minister of the first emperor Tuogu, who is also able to fight. , Was worshipped as a foster father by the queen again, speaking of which is almost the same as the regent of the Qing Dynasty.

Without thinking about it, Zheng Chenggong took Liu Fu’s hand and said affectionately: “Recently, the Qing Dynasty is attacking the northern pass, and the war is tight, and neither your majesty and the king have time to take care of others. The Shangshu and the servants of the Ministry of Rites are new to their posts and don’t know the situation very well. Speaking of it, the official didn’t care about the details. This is something wrong. I would like to ask Mr. Liu to talk to Master Thom, and ask you to stay in my house for a few days. Is that good?”

Zheng Chenggong’s few words and a few words made Liu Fu calm down. He bowed in admiration and said: “You have a country surnamed master, Liu will understand, I will tell Master Tom.”

After Liu Fu’s translation, Thom and Umisen negotiated a few words and agreed, and then everyone took the car to Zheng Chenggong’s residence. After getting off the car, they led everyone in and walked, pulling Liu Fu’s arm, and whispered. “Mr. Liu, you are a native of Fuzhou, and you have become a senior in the country of Semu people. You can count as a glorious ancestor. Tomorrow I will ask your majesty to grant your majesty the old mother of your hometown as a first-class madam, and repair it for you. What do you think of the tomb erection?”

Not returning the rich and honorable is like walking at night in the golden clothes. Guangzong Yaozu is the pursuit of the Chinese people. Zheng Chenggong does not believe that he throws this olive branch. Liu Fu will refuse.

Liu Fu laughed when he heard the words, his face flushed with excitement in his overjoy, and he respectfully saluted Zheng Chenggong: “Thank you, Mr. Guo, Mr. Liu thanked his mother.”

With Zheng Chenggong’s acknowledgment, Liu Fu and he really got closer. After setting up Tom’s people, Liu Fu and Zheng Chenggong had a good talk, and confessed Olaf’s true views on Nanming.

According to Liu Fu, the godfather and regent of the Swedish Empire, Olaf, has a deep understanding of the celestial dynasty, can speak fluent Zhongzhou Mandarin, and highly respects Chinese culture. Therefore, he is very friendly to Ming and is willing to strongly support the Longwu court. The Northern Expedition and the Western Struggle unified China, while the Southern Ming court only paid for the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Swedish Empire on an equal footing, and at the same time opened up the coastal ports of Fujian, Guangdong and other coastal ports to communicate with the Swedish Empire for friendly trade with merchant ships.

Zheng Chenggong is the heir of the Zheng Group. He is well aware of the ideas of the Dutch, English, Portuguese and other Westerners, knowing that they all want to dominate the Chinese market and obtain exclusive distribution rights for expensive products such as Chinese porcelain, silk and lacquerware.

The Zheng Group has been controlling the East China Sea and the South China Sea for many years, occupying 90% of the seaborne trade volume of the Celestial Circle. Therefore, the red-haired ghost only followed Zheng Zhilong to eat a little leftovers. Now the Swedish empire wants to enter the Nanming market, which is also harmful. It will be the interests of the Zheng Group.

Although Zheng Chenggong knew that the Swedish empire was very powerful and had the most advanced guns and artillery in the world, if the Longwu court were able to maintain the shaky situation with the help of the Swedish empire, the premise was to sacrifice the interests of the Zheng family.

If Zheng Chenggong is now the head of the family, he will certainly sacrifice the interests of the Zheng clan for the chance of restoration of the Longwu imperial court in order to survive through the ages.

But now the real head of the Zheng family and the Longwu imperial court is still the old father Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Chenggong can only discuss with his old father~www.mtlnovel.com~ to win his father’s support.

At this time, the Qing court has taken control of the northern provinces, and the army going south is unstoppable. The Qingming and Ming forces are gathering at Xianxiaguan in northern Fujian for a tug-of-war. If it weren’t for the Qing dynasty’s army not adapting to fighting in mountainous areas, I’m afraid that the northern part has already fallen. .

After intuitively feeling the strength of the Qing army, Ping Guo Gong Zheng Zhilong’s heart of resistance has been shaken, and his mind about betraying Emperor Longwu in exchange for the King of Fujian has gradually become clear.

For Zheng Zhilong, if he sells Emperor Longwu, the credit will be the greatest hero surpassing Wu Sangui and King Sanshun, and it is also due in exchange for the wealth of Fujian.

With this idea, Zheng Zhilong didn’t have much interest in establishing diplomatic relations with the Swedish Empire in exchange for the support of the Swedish Empire.

Zheng Chenggong found out that the old father seemed to have other ideas in persuading his father. After considering it, he said: “The Swedish empire is the strongest country in Europe, and its geographical location is similar to that of the Qing Dynasty in the East. I heard that the Swedish soldiers are strong and good at fighting and use firearms better. I am afraid that the combat power will be better than that of the Qing army. Father, let’s not say whether we can recover Daming after the establishment of diplomatic relations with Sweden. Even in exchange for Sweden’s advanced firearms and clever tactics, we can also enhance the combat power of the soldiers of the Zheng family, as long as we are enough. Qiang, you are still Nanming’s Zijin Liang. Even if there is a case in the future, who won the world won’t have to respect you three points? Don’t you dare to offend us? If we are not strong enough, don’t we have to let anyone else control?”
