Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 651 From Commoner to Noble
In the Forbidden City Qianqing Palace, in the side hall.

Looking at the group of foreign scholars in front of him, Taichang was really a little confused.

Can these more than twenty burly men help him control a huge colonial empire?
He thought for a while, then asked, "De Sierra, do you know about the Brazilian colony?"

De Sierra cupped his hands without hesitation and said: "Go back to the emperor, the students know that the Brazilian colony is located in the southern part of America, and it is the largest overseas colony of Portugal."

Do you know that you call yourself a student?
Well, it seems that they really regard themselves as scholars.

Taichang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Have you ever been to the Brazilian colony, are you familiar with it?"

De Sierra thought for a while, and then replied respectfully: "Return to the emperor, the student has never been to the Brazilian colony.

However, the students have heard people say that there are rich products and a suitable climate, just like heaven.

Moreover, after Portugal was annexed by Spain, the Portuguese nobles were still in power there, so many Portuguese went to the Brazilian colony. "

Taichang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Since you know that Brazil is like a paradise, and the Portuguese nobles are in power, why didn't you go there, instead came to the Far East?"

De Xie La said somewhat helplessly: "Go back to the emperor, it's just a paradise for the nobles, it has nothing to do with us commoners.

The civilians are still civilians, and they still have to sell their labor to make money, and their income is not high.

Moreover, Spain pretended to hand over the original Portuguese overseas colonies to the Portuguese nobles in order to win over the Portuguese nobles.

In fact, the nobles who control Portugal’s overseas colonies are all related to the Spanish royal family. They are the lackeys of the Spanish king, especially in the Brazilian colonies. Young and strong people like us will also be forced to fight.

The Far East is different. Here the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. We can still earn some money as mercenaries. If we go to Brazil, we may not be able to escape the fate of being cannon fodder! "

Oops, the emperor of Shangao can use it far away.

Not bad.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked: "Do you know that the anti-Habsburg alliance army has already begun to invade the Brazilian colony."

After hearing this, De Sierra analyzed with a calm face: "This is normal. The so-called people are innocent and guilty. The Brazilian colony is so rich, and the nobles there only know how to please Spain in order to enjoy the glory and wealth. In order to fight for Spain, I don’t know how to organize a large army to defend, let alone accumulate strength to restore the country, and the anti-Habsburg alliance will start to snatch this piece of fat sooner or later.”

Oh, the words are so polite, and the analysis is so organized.

Very good, worth cultivating.

Taichang nodded in satisfaction, and then introduced: "The situation over there is very complicated at the moment. In order to defend the Brazilian colony, the Spanish king not only sent most of the forced Portuguese troops, but also appointed a new Brazilian governor.

This Brazilian governor is the original Spanish Luzon governor Carlinho, you should have heard of it, right?

This Carlinio has been bought by me, and the King of Spain should know it too.

What do you think, King of Spain, means by this? "

He is a little bit of the meaning of the school exam.

Hearing this, Desira couldn't help thinking.

He thought for a while, and then carefully said: "The King of Spain probably wants to use our Daming to help them drive away the anti-Habsburg alliance army.

The original Portuguese governor should not have resigned honestly and returned to Europe, and the governor Carinho could not command the Portuguese army at all.

His only function is to ask our Daming to take action.

At that time, if our Ming Dynasty helps them drive away the anti-Habsburg alliance army, the King of Spain will probably find an excuse to transfer Carinho away from Brazil.

In this way, we have done Spain a big favor in vain. "

Hmm, good analysis.

Moreover, our Daming said this very well.

Now, it depends on whether you really want Daming.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "I will take you to Brazil and give you full support. Can you replace the Duke of Braganza, control your Portuguese army, and even control the entire Brazilian colony?"

This one doesn't dare to brag indiscriminately, bragging indiscriminately in front of the emperor is deceiving the emperor!
De Sierra thought about it carefully, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the student dares to ask, what kind of support does your full support include?"

Taichang said without hesitation: "This full support is naturally related to controlling the army.

For example, the food and payment, how much food and payment do you think can buy those Portuguese soldiers, just say, as long as it is not too outrageous, it will be fine.

As many Portuguese soldiers as you can buy, I will pay you as much as you want.

There are also materials, what materials do you think will help buy people's hearts, just report them, as long as they are not too exaggerated, I can provide them for you.

There are also weapons and equipment, I can guarantee that the weapons and equipment provided by us are definitely better than those provided by the Spaniards.

Do you think it is enough? "

With such support, there must be no problem. Some of the young and strong in Portugal who were forcibly recruited are willing to work hard for the lackeys of Spain. They just have no choice.

He can provide enough food and supplies, as well as excellent weapons and equipment. More importantly, Daming has a stronger backing than Spain. Those young Portuguese will naturally choose to follow him.

De Siera nodded again and again: "Enough, enough, Emperor, the students are guaranteed to replace those nobles and control the Brazilian colony."

This is not the point.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "I can still fully support you and let you develop your power in Brazil. When the time is right, I can also help you fight back to Portugal, help you restore the country, and make you the king of Portugal. How will you repay me then?"

Ah!
This happiness also came too suddenly, Desaiella only felt a rush of blood rushing straight to his brain, and his whole body was a little dizzy.

He is just a mercenary, never thought that one day he would become a king!

However, with Daming's national strength, if the emperor supports him with all his strength, he can really become king.

How to repay the emperor?
This requires careful consideration.

Since the emperor fully supports his restoration of the country, he certainly does not want to annex Portugal.

With Portugal's national strength, it is basically impossible to keep the existing colonies surrounded by European countries, otherwise, they would not be annexed by Spain.

The emperor must be very clear about this.

So, what does the emperor want?

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the news he learned while studying in the liberal arts college.

The reason why the emperor didn't summon them for several years was because the emperor was not in Daming.

In the past two years, the emperor led his army to fight in America.

The emperor drove away the European colonists for the American Indian tribes, and helped the Indian tribes establish [-] countries.

The Indian tribe reciprocated, and the deceased made an eternal oath in the way passed down from generation to generation, swearing to be loyal to Ming Dynasty forever, and to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty forever!
Yes, this is definitely what the emperor needs.

Thinking of this, he quickly led a group of his subordinates to kowtow respectfully on the ground: "If the student can become the king of Portugal, Portugal will definitely become Daming's most loyal vassal. He will always obey Daming's orders and never betray Daming."

very good!

Taichang nodded in satisfaction, and then said solemnly: "I will make you the Count of Portugal first, and when you control the Brazilian colony, I will make you the Duke of Portugal, and when you succeed in restoring the country, I will make you the King of Portugal !"

Hearing this, De Xie La kowtowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Taichang said to his subordinates behind him: "You guys should work hard too. When you succeed in restoring the country, I will reward you according to your merits. Dukes and Earls, everything is possible. It all depends on your performance."

When De Xie La's subordinates heard the words, they kowtowed excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

They were just ordinary people, how could they have imagined that one day they would become nobles, and they would also be dukes and earls!

There is a reason why Taichang decided to confer them in this way.

Don't European nobles talk about blood, don't they like to oppress common people?

I will canonize a group of civilian nobles to mess up your bloodlines!
