Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 483 The Covenant That Determines the World Pattern

New Jinling City has finally arrived.

Looking at the huge city not far away that had been completely completed, Taichang couldn't help showing a hint of relief on his face.

This trip they transferred from New Jingzhou Mansion to New Yangzhou Mansion, then from New Yangzhou Mansion to British Government Mansion, and then from Xinxiangfu City to New Jinling City. They traveled more than 2 miles all the way and traveled for nearly a month!

No way, he has to rush back to sign an alliance with Spain.

The "ally" of Spain is too important to Ming.

It can be said that as long as Daming can hold on to Spain as an "ally", those so-called great powers in Europe will surely be exhausted slowly, and by then, Ming will be able to become the real world hegemon.

This covenant will be a covenant that will determine the structure of the entire world, so he will naturally rush back to sign it.

As for the new Jingzhou Mansion, he has already ordered the Clippers to deliver the decree and order Cheng Guogong to take charge.

In the area of ​​New Yangzhou Mansion and New Jingzhou Mansion, he left more than 20 Longya warships and more than [-] Spike warships, as well as [-] Shenji Battalion soldiers.

He also left Li Zhizao, Song Yingsheng and a group of newly promoted science scholars in charge of exploring terrain and mineral deposits.

He also gave Cheng Guogong the power to dispatch all the guards of Huguang Capital and Huguang Xingdu.

He also had a good discussion with the Duke of England, and ordered him to cooperate with Duke Cheng to develop both the new Yangzhou Prefecture and the New Jingzhou Prefecture.

I believe that with the cooperation of these two experienced and veteran state officials, the new Yangzhou Prefecture and the new Jingzhou Prefecture should be slowly developed.

While Taichang was thinking, the flagship had already approached the pier, and Lu Xiangsheng was waiting on the pier with a group of civil servants and generals.

After paying respects to the monarchs and ministers, Taichang couldn't help asking: "Jiandou, is there any news from Lu Song?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slowly and said: "No, I haven't received any news from there. It is estimated that Carlinio has not received a reply from their king."

Okay, it looks like we have to wait.

Anyway, he also sent a dragon-tooth warship to Luzon with more than a dozen wolf-tooth warships. As soon as the Spanish king's reply arrived, Carinho would naturally come by boat.

Taichang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is the new Jinling City almost finished?"

Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "Yes, Your Majesty, the construction of New Jinling City has been completed after more than [-] soldiers and [-] guards worked hard for years."

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help but patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder and said: "Thank you, Jiandou, let's go, let's talk in the palace, it's so hot outside that it's unbearable."

After all, he should go to the palace in the city first.

The weather in Nanyang is really unusually hot. Part of the reason why he came to New Jinling City was because of the hot weather.

No way, without the simple air conditioner here, he really couldn't bear it.

Of course, he didn't rush here just to covet the coolness in this palace, there are still many things waiting for him to deal with here.

For example, the soldiers of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion who stayed here to build the city.

In order to clean up Donghu, he transferred 30 Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion soldiers, plus the 50 Shenji Battalion soldiers who were originally in Nanyang and the [-] Tunwei transferred to New Jinling City. [-] horses.

If it is just for defending the city, naturally there is no need for so many troops.

He can't let hundreds of thousands of soldiers endure the scorching heat here.

After all, except for the guards who have been guarding here for a long time and some soldiers guarding the bastion, the other soldiers don't even have barracks and can only live in tents.

If it's July and August, it's really hot to death.

Therefore, after arriving at New Jinling City, he immediately sent a ship to send the [-] Shenwu Battalion iron cavalry to Guangzhou Mansion first, and asked them to drive back to the military camp in Wubei City by themselves.

There were also 20 infantry from the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion, which he took back with him when he was about to return.

This Nanyang Cheng announced that the Political Envoy Division has [-] Shenji battalion soldiers and [-] garrison guards stationed, which should be almost the same.

In addition, there were tens of thousands of Dutch captives, and he had to send a ship to the New Jingzhou Mansion. Anyway, a lot of people were needed to dig mines there, and these people would have nothing to worry about.

He had just been busy with work, and Carlinho rushed over excitedly with several generals and civil servants on the dragon tooth battleship.

Obviously, the King of Spain has replied, and there is no problem with the alliance.

Although he has already bought Carinho, the false meaning of this alliance still needs to be discussed.

In the New Jinling City Palace, in the brand new examination room.

Taichang took the main seat, and Carlinio sat on the left side of the long conference table with several generals and civil servants under him. There were several general translators behind them. A staff general.

This is an alliance negotiation, and there is no need to show anyone any prestige, so Taichang did not form any strong general camp.

Carinho only brought five men in total, and it was enough for him to arrange a similar number of people.

When Taichang saw that everyone was sitting down, he pretended to be serious and said, "Your Excellency, what does the king of your country say about the Luzon issue?"

Oh, Your Majesty, you are too kind.

Of course Carinho knew that he couldn't show his feet in front of his subordinates.

He also pretended to be serious and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, our Majesty the King agreed to exchange the colonies of Luzon for the Dutch warships and armed merchant ships captured by your country."

This is definitely no problem.

Because, if they don't change to Da Ming, they will do it. Not only will they not get any warships and merchant ships, but they will also have to be beaten, and the relationship with Da Ming will no longer be maintained.

The King of Spain knew this very well, so he readily agreed to this condition.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked solemnly: "What does the king of your country say about the transaction of pure copper and rubber?"

Carinho also replied in a serious manner: "Our Majesty the King agrees to expand production and provide the Ming Empire with 100 million catties of pure copper and [-] million barrels of rubber every year, one tael of silver and ten catties of pure copper, and one barrel of rubber with ten taels of silver. Our Majesty the King has no objection to this, but you Ming Empire must bring cash to America to pick up the goods, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with one hand."

This was all discussed in advance by them. In fact, there was nothing to talk about. It was just a formality.

Next is the point.

Taichang nodded slightly again, and then said solemnly: "It is no problem for our Ming Empire to send ships to pick up the goods, and there is no problem with cash transactions, but there must be large supply points and large ports along the way. Regarding this, Your Majesty the King How to say."

Carinho still replied solemnly: "Our Majesty the King said that we don't have time to build large supply points and large ports. If you Ming Empire wants to, you can build them yourself.

We can provide you with a piece of land with an area of ​​no more than [-] square kilometers in the governorship of New Spain, the governorship of New Granada, the governorship of Peru, and the governorship of La Plata for you to build large supply points and large ports.

You can choose places, but the area must not exceed [-] square kilometers. "

Okay, one hundred square kilometers is big enough, no need to emphasize it again and again.

The last point is the most important.

Taichang nodded slightly again, and then solemnly said: "What does your majesty the king say about the island between the canal and the Americas?"

This time he was serious, not pretending.

Carinho still said seriously: "Our Majesty the King said that the canal can be designated for you to build the territory between the Governor-General of New Spain and the Governor-General of New Granada, and the island in the middle of the Americas can also be given to you as a base. However, you must ensure that there will be no problems with the merchant ships between the east coast of the Americas and our Spanish mainland."

This means that we need to send warships to protect your merchant ships, right?

It seems that the King of Spain was really robbed by pirates from England and Holland.

OK, no problem.

Taichang nodded without hesitation and said: "We can guarantee the safety of your merchant ships, but the premise is that your merchant ships must report to our Daming Navy when they travel between the east coast of the Americas and the mainland of Spain, otherwise we cannot send warships Protect."

Carinho nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, we can write this into the covenant."

This play is almost done, can we sign the alliance?
Taichang pretended to ask: "Do you have any questions?"

Unexpectedly, there really is.

Carinho said cautiously: "Our Majesty the King wishes to add a sentence in the covenant that the Ming Empire and our Kingdom of Spain will not invade each other from now on, and will not seize any overseas territories of the other party."

Oh, are you still afraid that I will rob your colony?

To be honest, I really have no interest in your land colonies.

I can guarantee that Daming will not beat you, but I have no control over whether others beat you or not!

This is how the Treaty of Alliance between the Ming Empire and the Kingdom of Spain was signed.

It can be said that this is a covenant that can determine the world structure, because the territory of the Ming Empire has spread all over the Far East, while the Spanish colonies have spread all over the Americas and Africa. The combined territories of the two countries account for more than half of the world!
Such an alliance between two powerful countries, who can fight against it?

Emerging European powers such as Britain, France and the Netherlands may not have the opportunity to be as beautiful as they have been in history!
