The rise of Iceland https://
With a casual boast of Long Wu, Zheng Zhilong ordered people to invite Lixstrom, Liu Fu and others who were waiting outside the palace into the hall.
A quarter of an hour later, an **** led everyone into the hall with gifts.
Tom, who was in the leading brigade, dressed in a traditional Nordic dress and a hat with white feathers on his head, walked to Dan Chi on one knee and rubbed his chest. Liu Fu and other five or six deputy translators also followed in Swedish dresses. So salute on one knee.
A group of people in the hall looked at dozens of Longwu court officials and nobles into the hall to salute. Liu Fu shouted loudly: “My envoy to the Swedish Empire, Li Keshitomu, and deputy interpreter Liu, etc., came to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and Present the handwritten letter of credence of our country’s emperor and regent, His Royal Highness Olaf, in order that the East and the West can form an alliance and repair the whole world in Xianning.”
A doctor Liu Fu became a member of the Swedish Empire. The noble ministers of the Longwu court had known this news for a long time. They also inquired that Liu Fu had never obtained a fame before, and he was just an old boy. I look down on Liu Fu.
At this time, all the officials saw Liu Fu wearing the same gold silk dress as Li Keshi Thom and a felt hat with feathers on his head. Many people couldn’t help snorting coldly, as if they looked down upon this fellow who had become a Yidi and Yidi.
At this time, Liu Fu knew very well that the Ming Dynasty had lost half of the country, and there were no figures like Grandpa Yue in the dynasty, and it was unclear whether he could maintain the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, so he was very happy and contented that he returned to his hometown as a Swedish minister. After speaking, he took over the Swedish and Chinese bilingual credential written by Olaf from Thom.
After walking two steps forward, Liu Fu knelt down and kowtows, followed the Emperor’s ceremonial system to pay homage, and then he handed the letter of credence to an eunuch.
The old **** took the credential and presented it to Emperor Longwu on the dragon chair, and whispered: “Emperor.”
Long Wu glanced at the book of credence, looked at Zheng Zhilong, and said: “Ping Guo Gong can reply on my behalf.”
Zheng Zhilong stood up and saluteed respectfully, saying: “The minister abides by the decree.”
In ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, relevant officials watched and checked and even proofread the credentials in advance, lest there be any insulting places in the credentials. For example, the exchanges between North Korea and Japan, North Korea and Ryukyu must abide by the etiquette of the celestial circle. Fully follow the requirements of the Emperor’s ceremonial system to communicate on an equal basis. If there are words and sentences, they need to be revised in time to prevent damage to the country’s dignity and face.
Olaf’s Swedish national book written with the help of Song Qinghe and Liu Fu is fine. The Chinese version is half-literal and half-white. It also tried to avoid words that might cause contradictions. He also reviewed the names of the emperors of Zhu Ming. taboo.
At this time, it was delivered, and it was confirmed that it was checked by the Ministry of Rites. Zheng Zhilong took it and looked at it pretentiously. Looking at the book that he can fully understand, he felt the regent of the famous western emperor uncle in his heart. Wang Olaf could not help but admire him.
“The Emperor Afather Regent of the Great Swedish Empire greets our respected friend, the great Emperor Mingguo, and the highest dictator of Asia, His Majesty…
Your country is a country of etiquette, with a vast land and rich resources, a long history, and a lonely heart…
It is not easy to hear that the chaos in your country is not easy. Our country wants to have a good relationship with your country. The exchanges are all alliances. Please choose Guangzhou and Fuzhou as commercial ports. Li Keshi Thom handles…
To this end, I am sincere and sincere. I wish His Majesty Emperor Daming health and longevity. ——The Great Swedish Empire: Olaf Hadarsson. ”
With hundreds of words of credibility and showing enough kindness to point out the main idea, Zheng Zhilong understood it effortlessly, then smiled and nodded: “I have already known the kindness of Lord Ou, and I should wait for the details. You don’t need to rush for a while after discussing it slowly. You all come from afar, and you should spend a few days in the heavens first.”
Liu Fu whispered Zheng Zhilong’s words to Thom. Thom stepped forward to caress his chest and said, “In addition to the credential, I have also brought a few gifts. Please, your Majesty Emperor Daming!”
After Liu Fu translated Thom’s words, Zheng Zhilong nodded. After a while, the guards in the palace and the Viking guards carried dozens of large wooden barrels into the hall.
Thom stepped forward and lifted the lid, revealing the stacks of **** skins, seal skins, white bear skins, etc. in the barrel. When the eyelids of the important ministers in the hall moved, they all marveled at the extraordinary work of the regent of Sweden.
“These furs are special products of my Great Swedish Empire, and I came to dedicate them to Emperor Daming.”
Liu Fu helped open the barrels one by one while translating Tom’s words: “There are **** skins, sea dragon skins, white bear skins, and mink skins. They are all time-first furs. The most precious one is a gold mink. Pi, we heard that Emperor Ming likes golden yellow. This is the auspiciousness that God has given you!”
Emperor Longwu laughed and said, “His Royal Highness the Emperor of Sweden and the Regent are interested, I am so relieved!”
After the wooden barrels with rare furs were opened one after another, many Vikings opened several more wooden barrels, revealing huge models of Galen ships, flintlocks and cannons.
Thom looked around and saw that apart from the Catholic Lord Nicholas of Pingguo, the other ministers of the Ming country and the emperor on the throne were not interested in guns, so he was somewhat interested in the so-called civilized and powerful Ming country. Sneer.
After thinking for a while, Thom took out a leather box from another barrel, opened the lid to reveal rows of vermilion ginseng wrapped in woolen cloth, and handed it to Liu Fu, “Your Majesty, these vermilion ginseng are my favorite. The first treasure of the Principality of Wenlan, a subsidiary of the Swedish Empire, its efficacy is similar to that of Changbai Mountain’s wild ginseng…”
Liu Fu, who was born as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, is a treasure of every family. He gave a detailed introduction to the valuable and medicinal effects of the ginseng, and then added oil and vinegar: “These ginseng are all old wild ginseng for more than 100 years. Your Majesty, you make tea on weekdays. Taking it can nourish the body the most and prolong life.”
Emperor Longwu smiled slightly, his five strands of long beard trembling lightly, and whispered softly: “You are waiting thousands of miles to pay tribute, I am very happy, Ping Guo Gong, is this a sign of Zhongxing?” Zheng Zhilong’s eyes narrowed. He stood up and said: “Your Majesty Hongfu Qitian, the great Swedish Empire came to pay tribute when you first reached the top, it just shows that you are the true emperor, and you have a lot of softness. This is the atmosphere of Han Guangwu and Tang Tianbao~www.mtlnovel.com ~ Congratulations to your majesty, if you are sitting in the Palace of Qinzheng, why can’t you worry about squeezing out stray bandits and driving out the Eight Banners of the East?”
Zheng Zhilong naturally saw that Long Wu wanted to use Sweden to give the court the title of Lord of ZTE in order to increase his prestige and break free from his own control. However, Zheng Zhilong had other plans, and he was very cooperative and praised it.
With Zheng Zhilong taking the lead, the other courtiers also scrambled to praise the Longwu court, seeming to forget that it was more than 300 miles north of Fuzhou that was the pass that the Ming and Qing armies vigorously contended for the fate of Ming and Qing.
Longwu people were a little weak and sickly in their middle age, but at this time they became more energetic, and their voice became louder and louder, saying: “Fond to Dr. Li Keshi Tuom (the third grade official), appreciate the bullfighting suit and the silver silk jade belt. , 100 pieces of silk, honored doctor Liu Fu (the fifth grade official), flying fish costumes, jade belts, 100 pieces of silk, the rest are all rewarded…tonight…”
The emperor Longwu immediately rewarded Tom and Liu Fu’s high-grade vacant positions and treasures. To the precarious Ming court, it didn’t matter if the two vacant positions were vacant, but the silk brocade and satin were real wealth.
In all, it was a considerable expense for the Longwu court. After He Kai was forced to retreat by the Zheng family, the name of the right servant Lang Li, who was in charge of the work of the household department, glanced at Zheng Zhilong. Seeing Zheng Zhilong’s demeanor was normal, he knew that Ping Guogong was he. The old man agreed, so he dispelled the idea of discouraging the emperor.
Tom, who was kneeling on one knee, and Liu Fu, who was kneeling on both knees, didn’t know that Emperor Longwu was the first time to do arbitrarily, and he was still exposed to their light. With the support of big ships and firearms, I am afraid that Emperor Longwu will not be tolerated at will.
