Daming Town Haiwang

There is a street dedicated to the establishment of embassies in the new city of the southern district of the capital for various vassal states, vassal states, colonies, and foreign countries. There are gathered here the embassies of the Korean embassy, ​​the Japanese embassy, ​​and the embassies of the three vassal states of Luzon. The embassies of Tang, Chu, and other Ming vassal states also had offices in Beijing established here by the governors of Ceylon, South Africa, and Bangladesh.

In addition, there are embassies set up in the capital by Spain, Persia, Egypt, Khax Khanate, Siam, Sulu and other countries that have diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty.

This street is also crowded with a large number of foreigners, so this street is also called Waifan Street by the young and old in the capital, which means that they are all outsiders, vassals and the like.

The Spanish ambassador to the Ming Empire, Duke Silva, has been in Ming Dynasty for more than two years. He belongs to the Spanish royal family. He was not originally a duke, but as a minister sent to the Ming Empire, he was specially conferred the title of duke by the King of Spain.

As usual, he was awakened by the bell of the clock tower, got up from the soft spring bed, and looked at his wife beside him, who was still asleep at this moment.

After coming to Daming for more than two years, the Duke and Mrs. Silva have gradually gotten used to the life of Daming. Putting on their clothes, they came to the window and opened the curtains. The winter sun came into view, and the streets were already bustling. .

The job of the Spanish ambassador to Ming Dynasty is really easy to do, because the relationship between Spain and Ming Dynasty is very good, and the two sides were once allies.

Moreover, in the war between Spain and France, England, and Portugal, although Ming did not directly participate in the war, he also gave a lot of help. He directly dispatched the navy to attack the sea power of France and England in the name of hunting down pirates, and sold arms and weapons to Spain. It also provided loans to Spain and so on.

All these are enough to show that the relationship between Daming and Spain is very good, which makes Duke Silva's life easy.

Here in the capital, there is basically nothing to do at ordinary times, drink tea, read newspapers, go to the theater every day to watch Daming dramas, or go to watch football or horse racing and so on.

Life here in Daming is easier and more convenient than in Spain. Especially here in the capital of Daming, the roads are basically cement roads, extending in all directions, and the carriages are very comfortable.

Now there is a train, and it has been repaired to Shanxi in the west, Shandong in the south, and Liaodong and grasslands in the north. Traveling is extremely convenient.

The cities of Daming are very different from European cities. The cities here are very clean and tidy, unlike European cities, which are smelly and dirty. You have to be careful when walking, and you have to look up from time to time to see if there are people. Suddenly a pot of unspeakable things fell down.

After washing up, Silva habitually came to Tingyuxuan Restaurant for morning tea.

"Duke Silva, is it still the same as usual?"

He is a regular customer of Ting Yuxuan. Of course, because Ting Yuxuan is located in this foreign street, it is not uncommon for Ting Yuxuan to receive many foreigners.

For example, Karim, the ambassador of the Persian Empire to the Ming Empire, is also a frequent visitor here, and he comes here for morning tea almost every day.

The Persians and the Ottomans are feuds, and the relationship between Spain and the Ottoman Empire is not good. This is based on the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. The relationship between Silva and Karim is also good.

"Silva, you're here~"

Karim reads the newspaper while drinking morning tea, and it has almost become a habit when he comes to Daming. If he does not drink morning tea or read newspapers every day, he will feel uncomfortable all over his body.

"Is there any big news?"

Silva sat down opposite Karim very casually, and asked.

Ting Yuxuan's waiter soon brought out the Longjing tea that Silva likes to drink, the dumplings he eats, the oily and spicy noodles, steamed buns, and a copy of the latest Ming Morning Post.

"You know about Ali Pasha, Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire, coming to Ming Dynasty?"

Karim put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a very ugly face.

"I know, it even appeared in the newspaper and was exclusively interviewed by the Ming Morning Post."

Duke Silva nodded and said: "However, there is no need to worry about anything. The Ottoman Empire slaughtered tens of thousands of Ming people, and the army of the Ming Empire also slaughtered hundreds of cities in the Ottoman Empire. The hatred between them is very deep."

"Even if they want to build a good relationship with the Ming Empire, I'm afraid it will not be easy. Your Persian Empire has a good relationship with the Great Min Empire. The Ming Empire also needs your Persian Empire to contain the Ottoman Empire and prevent the Ottoman Empire from continuing to expand eastward."

"You don't need to worry about anything."

"I don't need to worry about anything, but you Spain probably have to worry about something."

Karim looked at Silva and said calmly: "Look at the headlines of today's news. The Ming Empire sold arms and weapons worth [-] million taels of silver to the Ottoman Empire."

"Now you Europeans have a better life."

"what?"

When Duke Silva heard it, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then I didn't have time to drink the tea, and quickly picked up the latest Ming Morning Post and quickly looked at the news headlines, which read 'The Ming Empire sold arms and weapons worth [-] million taels of silver to the Ottoman Empire'.

"Thirty million taels of silver weapons?"

"[-] muskets, [-] cannons, [-] sets of armor, [-] knives..."

The more Duke Silva looked, the wider his eyes widened.

"God~"

"The disaster of our European coalition forces has come!"

Then, as if he saw the end of the European coalition forces, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

On the European side at this time, under the call of the Holy See, the Christian countries in Europe almost abandoned the many contradictions in the past, united together, and sent troops together to prepare to meet the attack of the Ottoman Empire.

Spain, France, England, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Austria, etc. have all sent troops to defend the Holy See and the Christian world.

The Ottoman Empire marched westward, broke through Vienna, and directed its soldiers towards Rome, Italy, where the Holy See is located. This is absolutely intolerable for European Christian countries.

Even Spain, France, England, and Portugal, which are at war with each other, all decided under the mediation of the Holy See to jointly defend the Christian world of the Holy Spirit.

Well now, the Ottoman Empire actually went to Daming to buy arms and weapons, and once they bought them, they were huge arms worth thirty million taels of silver.

With these [-] muskets and [-] cannons on the battlefield, it would definitely be a nightmare for the European knights. The muskets and cannons of Ming Dynasty have already passed the test again and again.

Across the world, from invincible to invincible, there is no need to doubt its horror.

There are also tens of thousands of sets of armor and swords, which is enough for the Ottoman Empire to quickly arm [-] cavalry. The armor and swords of the Ming Empire are also of very good quality, light in weight, high in hardness, and very sharp in swords.

In Duke Silva's mind, he was already fantasizing about the brave knights in Europe who were beaten to pieces by the Ottoman Empire because their equipment was not as good as the Ottoman Empire's army.

"No~"

Silva stood up and slapped the newspaper on the table.

"I will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, it will be a disaster for our Christian world in Europe!"

"The gates of hell will be opened, and the Christian world will be destroyed."

But soon, he calmed down again.

This was a transaction between the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and Spain had no right to interfere at all. What's more, the people of Ming Dynasty didn't care about the feelings and opinions of the Spaniards at all.

If they were still allies before, they could rely on the covenant to express their protest and dissatisfaction to the Ming Empire, but not now. Whom the Ming Empire sells weapons and equipment to is the freedom of the Ming Empire, and Spain has no control at all.

Silva turned around in a hurry, then cast his eyes at the Persian envoy Karim next to him, and then said: "Ambassador Karim, the Ottoman Empire has such powerful weapons and weapons, it may not be a good thing for your Persian Empire. .”

"How about, let's protest against the Ming Empire together, put pressure on it, and see if we can get the Ming Empire to give up the arms trade here."

"The Ottoman Empire was a greedy and evil empire, and we all have a responsibility to prevent it from growing stronger."

"I have exactly this intention, and I am also waiting for the arrival of Duke Silva."

"An aggressive country like the Ottoman Empire has acquired the powerful and advanced weapons of Ming Dynasty. It will inevitably set off raging wars all over the world. This is extremely detrimental to world peace."

"As the most powerful country in the world, the Ming Empire has an unshirkable responsibility for safeguarding world peace. It is absolutely impossible to sell these powerful arms and weapons to a threatening country like the Ottoman Empire."

Karim was waiting for Silva's words, and immediately stood up to express his opinion.

Soon, the two hurried to the Ministry of Rites of the Daming Empire by car, found the Minister of Rites, Fu Han, and strongly expressed their dissatisfaction to the Daming Empire, demanding that the Daming Empire must cancel this contract with the Ottoman Empire. Huge arms trade.

"Master Shangshu, the Ottoman Empire is too aggressive. With so many advanced weapons and weapons, the Ottoman Empire will inevitably launch a foreign war of aggression. The Ming Empire should not sell these powerful weapons and weapons to the Ottoman Empire."

"Duke Silva and Ambassador Karim, I am very clear about the purpose of the two visits. You are nothing more than worried that the Ottoman Empire will become stronger after acquiring these weapons and weapons, and pose a threat to you."

"But this deal has been signed and can't be changed or canceled. If you feel threatened, you can buy more!"
