Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1760, Houzhao City
On the coast of the Baltic Sea, where the later city of Riga is located, Zhu Houzhao came here on his tall horse.

Huo Yun's [-] troops swept all the way from west to east. Wherever they went, they were invincible, attacked cities, and killed countless people. They strictly obeyed Zhu Houzhao's order and reached the coast of the Baltic Sea. .

"The location here is quite good. It is a very ideal harbor. Pass down an order to drive all the captives here and build a big city and a big port here."

"Just name it after my handsome man, Houzhao City!"

Standing on a hillside, Zhu Houzhao took a telescope to carefully watch the bend in front of him. Surrounded by water on three sides, the water level in the harbor is very deep, and it is a natural and excellent harbor.

It is perfect for building a city and a port, and this will become the westernmost city of Ming Dynasty.

"Yes!"

When Yang Yun beside him heard this, he also answered quickly.

There are too many captives and slaves captured this time, dozens or millions of slaves, this is the result of Huo Yun's wanton killings, all kinds of principalities, large and small, were wiped out by Huo Yun. One, all the people around who were killed were desperately fleeing in the direction of the Principality of Poland-Lithuania.

But the point is, with the Lithuanian Grand Duke Ostrogski being killed on the battlefield, and the combined Polish-Lithuanian army almost completely dead, Poland-Lithuania at this moment is also like a frightened bird. Trembling, facing the sweep of Huo Yun's army, he didn't dare to leave the station at all.

Wherever Huo Yun's army went, they fled desperately. Large tracts of land fell into the hands of the Ming Empire, which also allowed Huo Yun to kill the Baltic Sea coast in less than a month.

"The vast plain, the fertile black land~"

"It's just a little too cold, otherwise it would be perfect."

"This cultivator plows the soil casually, and then sprinkles the seeds. In autumn, just wait for the harvester to harvest."

"Such a vast land, even if it feeds hundreds of millions of people, there is no problem at all."

Zhu Houzhao looked down at the fertile land in front of him with a telescope.

At this moment, gusts of cold wind are blowing, and the long and cold winter here is about to begin.

"Marshal~"

"Duke Matthias, envoy of the Holy Roman Empire, please see me~"

"Accompanying them are Duke Vatis, the envoy sent by Zidmon I of the Principality of Poland and Lithuania, and Ali Pasha, the envoy sent by the Ottoman Sultan Selim I!"

At this time, someone came to report to Zhu Houzhao.

"Holy Roman Empire~"

"The Principality of Poland-Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire~"

"These three countries agreed to come here together."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao touched his chin and said.

These three countries are now bordering the Black Earth Province of Ming Dynasty, and they are all afraid of the continued expansion of the Ming Empire. It is estimated that they have negotiated some things secretly.

"Marshal, they must be worried that our Ming Empire will continue to expand westward, so they negotiated to deal with our Ming Empire together, but they don't have the guts."

When Yang Yun thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Our [-]-strong army expanded westward, and quickly wiped out the main countries in Eastern Europe with lightning speed. I guess they are already terrified by now."

"I heard that the Spanish Empire has also asked our Daming about our purpose."

"It seems that the Europeans will not allow us to expand too far."

"It doesn't matter what they say. Whether to expand or not depends entirely on our Ming's needs. As long as we have needs, we can expand wherever we want."

"What ability and qualification do they have to stop us? The [-] troops in my hands can even sweep across the whole of Europe."

Zhu Houzhao, however, gave him a complete look.

So what if you unite the whole of Europe, I just don't want to hit you right now, the land that has been expanded all at once is too big, and it will take a long time to slowly digest it.

"Send them over."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and ordered.

Soon, Duke Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor, Ali Pasha, envoy of the Ottoman Empire, and Duke Vatis, envoy of the Principality of Poland and Lithuania, also brought Zhu Houzhao to him.

The three of them were also very surprised. Zhu Houzhao didn't choose a good place to meet them, and actually met them in the wild. You should set up a big tent or something, so that it looks more formal.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

When the three of them saw Zhu Houzhao, they also saluted respectfully in unison.

"Hmm~"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.

"His Royal Highness, on behalf of our Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"At the same time, our Emperor entrusted me to present to His Majesty the Ming Emperor a sword handle, a Holy Cross, an ancient Bible volume, a gem scepter, twenty beauties, a thousand taels of gold, and ten thousand taels of silver as gifts."

"In addition, present ten beauties, ten BMWs, a sword, and a sword to His Royal Highness the Ming Dynasty as gifts, and invite His Royal Highness, if possible, to our Holy Roman Empire as a guest. Reception."

As soon as Duke Mathias opened his mouth, he presented gifts to Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao.

For a long time, the Holy Roman Empire has longed to establish a friendly relationship with the Ming Empire like the Spanish Empire, but the Ming Empire has never ignored them.

"It sounds shabby, but beautiful women suit my taste."

After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he curled his lips immediately, he is really poor, what kind of gifts are these gifts, and the beauty is the right one.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince~"

"Our great Sultan Selim I of the Ottoman Empire was very happy to hear that His Royal Highness had come to Europe. He ordered me to bring ten BMWs, ten swords, ten swords, hundreds of beauties, ten carts of fine wine, and ten boxes of gold and silver jewels as gifts. , and sincerely invite His Royal Highness to visit our Ottoman Empire as a guest, that will be the supreme glory of our Ottoman Empire!"

Although Ali Pasha was old, his voice was quite resonant, and when the Ottoman Empire made a move, it was relatively more generous.

"Well, His Majesty the Sultan of your country is interested. If I have time, I will go to your country for a while."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and replied.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

"On behalf of our Grand Duke Zidmon I of Poland and Lithuania, I present to His Majesty the Emperor Ming and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ten BMWs, five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, ten beauties, five boxes of amber, one hundred pieces of linen, ten pieces of wood carvings, and birch sap. Ten barrels are used as a gift, hoping to be friendly with the Ming Empire for generations."

Duke Vatis also offered his gift.

"What the hell~"

"Cloth, wood carvings, tree sap?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, everyone was slightly dumbfounded. What kind of ghosts are these gifts? They are all here to fool people. I should be His Royal Highness, and you should be able to give gifts anyway. It’s really true. If it doesn't work, it's okay to send more beauties over.

"Well, you're all worried~"

"Liu Jin, you go back and prepare a return gift for each of you."

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao also told Liu Jin that reciprocity is a traditional virtue. Although the current Ming Dynasty is different from before, and he will not say double or anything, but at least the meaning is still needed.

"You guys came just in time~"

"I'm going to build a big city and a big port here, what do you think of the geographical location here?"

After talking about the gift, Zhu Houzhao pointed to the big bay in front of him, and talked about his plans and plans to the three envoys with a smile on his face.

When the three of them heard it, they immediately understood.

The people of Daming intend to occupy this place for a long time and will not leave.

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides, it is a natural and excellent harbor. The terrain is open and flat, and the land is fertile. It is perfect for building a city."

Ali Pasha thought for a while and replied: "Your Highness has a very good vision!"

"Haha, yes, I also think the city building here is very good."

"I know why you are here. The main reason why our Ming Dynasty went to the west this time is because the Kazan Khanate, the Ilkhanate, the Crimean Khanate and the Principality of Moscow did not respect our Ming Empire and provoked our Ming Empire. Majestic, kill our merchants of the Ming Empire."

"Our emperor of the Ming Empire couldn't bear it, and finally decided to send troops to exterminate these people who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"Now that these countries have also perished, and you have great respect for our Ming Empire, our Daming Empire will naturally not do anything to you. We Daming people have always been friendly and friendly, and we have always been respectful of etiquette since ancient times. state."

"As long as people don't attack me, our Ming Dynasty will not take the initiative to attack other countries, so you can rest assured."

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and then started talking nonsense.

The three of them listened carefully, and felt much more relieved, even though they could all hear that Zhu Houzhao's words were very false.

Why do these countries disrespect Daming, kill Ming businessmen and so on, these must be fake, Daming swept the world, who would dare to provoke you Ming people.

It is even more nonsense to talk about a country of etiquette and a country of friendship.

If your Ming Dynasty were a friendly country, this land would not have expanded to the European Baltic Sea coast area. The whole world’s land is occupied by you Ming people, and you still say that you are a friendly country. country.

Ghosts believe you.

But believe it even if you don't believe it.

And everyone can hear that Zhu Houzhao is warning them, warning them to be more polite to Daming, otherwise you will be included in the unfriendly list, and you can wait for the day that Daming Tiejun comes to your door.
