Nothing major happened in the court, so Emperor Tianqi concentrated all his energy on negotiations with the Portuguese and Spanish. Emperor Tianqi was very concerned about this matter.

At this time, Emperor Apocalypse received the Portuguese envoy. For the Portuguese who could not wait, they must seize this opportunity. Riel has made all preparations and is confident that he can deal with any problems raised by Emperor Apocalypse.

"Two special envoys, I already know your request. Now please tell me in detail!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the two Portuguese special envoys with a smile. The tone was very consistent, and it was easy for people to have a good impression.

"Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, we came all the way just to get help from the Ming Dynasty. In my country, the war is raging, and the arrogant Spaniards have occupied our country. We people wandering overseas are always thinking about restoring our motherland.

Glory." Riel's face was very sad. He was not pretending. After all, Portugal was occupying the country at this time. These words naturally came from the bottom of his heart.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi also showed a look of sympathy on his face, saying: "Force cannot make people surrender, what can make people surrender is always justice. I sympathize with your experience, but your country is far away

The Ming Dynasty is really too far away. There is a saying about the Ming Dynasty that it is beyond the reach of the whip. I wonder if the two envoys have heard of it?"

Unlike Riel, Emperor Apocalypse is just acting. For Emperor Apocalypse, both Portugal and Spain are potential enemies. Only by being able to make profits and catch up with the pace of the maritime era as soon as possible can

is the most important.

As for the Spaniards, Spanish people, or even the Dutch, it would be better if their heads were beaten into dog heads! However, the proper attitude should still be there. It is just that we cannot agree to any substantive conditions.

"Dear His Majesty the Emperor, we very much hope to get Ming's help, but His Majesty the Emperor has misunderstood. We do not want the Emperor to directly send troops to Portugal. The shame needs to be washed away by oneself. Only by donating blood can the shame be washed away. We will work hard to do it!"

A look of hatred flashed across Riel's face. At the same time, he seemed to be full of gratitude to Emperor Tianqi. As to whether he was sincere or not, only God knows.

"I wonder what the special envoy would like my help with? But it doesn't matter. Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a country of etiquette. If I can help, I will definitely help." Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile.

A warm-hearted look.

The nonsense talk is almost over, and Riel knows that it’s time to get down to business! Although the emperor in front of him is young, Riel knows that this is a very difficult person to deal with. After contacting the officials of the Ming Dynasty for so long, Riel discovered that they

I don’t know much about overseas.

According to the mainstream view in the Ming Dynasty, only the Ming Dynasty is the celestial kingdom, and other places are barbarians. The contempt they carry in their bones makes them disdain to be with the barbarians. Originally, they thought that this emperor

The same is true. As long as you lower your attitude, you should be able to get assistance from the Ming Dynasty. But now Riel has put away this idea. He still needs to use actual benefits to convince the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. I heard that Your Majesty intends to launch sea trade. Portugal has some experience in this area, but it is necessary to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. You must know that sea trade requires ships. Ships that can sail across the ocean are very important, and at the same time, we must have people who understand

We hope to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor to build warships and go to sea to do business together." Riel really hoped that Emperor Tianqi would be a talented and strategic emperor. As long as the emperor's interest in sea trade was

As a result, Riel believed that his chance would come.

Emperor Apocalypse's interest in sea trade does not need to be seduced by riel, it exists deep in his heart. For a time traveler, if he does not know what sea trade means in this era, he is definitely not a qualified time traveler.

Emperor Tianqi was still very tempted by Riel's conditions. After all, whether it was experience in ocean navigation or building warships, these were what the Ming Dynasty lacked. After all, from Zheng He's voyages to the West, two hundred years have passed.

A lot of things have changed.

After looking at Riel, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Special Envoy Riel, I don't quite understand what you mean!"

Cunning! Riel gave Emperor Tianqi such an evaluation in his heart! Obviously, the emperor didn't want to put forward the conditions himself, he wanted to put them forward himself, and he agreed to it.

Riel really guessed it right this time. After all, the emperor of a country has a special status when he talks about these things. Besides, this is the Ming Dynasty. If the news spreads, I'm afraid it will cause a huge commotion.

"Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, we hope to jointly build ships with the Ming Dynasty. We will provide the shipbuilding technology, and the Ming Dynasty will provide the craftsmen and materials. We hope that the emperor can hand over one-third of the warships to be built in the future to us Portuguese. Three-thirds

The number of each of them cannot be less than thirty warships. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will grant permission." Riel put forward his conditions and looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully. This is what he wants most. As for the others,

Minutiae.

If you want to restore Spain's former glory and recapture the colonies occupied by the Spanish, you must go through war. Without warships, it is useless to say anything. With the huge national support of the Ming Dynasty, this is the most important thing

.With warships, we can trade. This is the most important thing.

After looking at Riel, Emperor Apocalypse smiled and waved his hand. Although he wanted to get the technology and experience of the Portuguese, paying one-third of the warships was too costly for Emperor Apocalypse. His own finances were already low.

It's tight, you still want to interfere, how can that be done?

"Special Envoy Riel, I think you also know the cost of building a fleet, and it will take time. You need thirty warships. If Ming Dynasty delivers them in ten years, there will be no problem!" Apocalypse

The emperor looked at Riel with a smile. He did not believe that the Portuguese would agree to such conditions.

"Your Majesty, ten years is too long, three years is enough!" Riel seemed to be joking when he saw Emperor Tianqi, but he didn't dare not take it seriously.

After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "We need to build a shipyard. You also know that this is not a small matter. If you want to get thirty warships in three years, you can't just use your technology. We need it.

Spending half of the cost can ensure the operation of the shipyard."

Seeing that Riel still wanted to speak, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said: "I can promise you that I will deliver all the first thirty ships to you. Of course, you have to pay for the shipbuilding costs yourself. This is very important.

, the time is set at three years!”

In the view of Emperor Tianqi, the most important thing for the Portuguese is experience and technology. Now there is a shipyard in Tianjin, and the speed of production is not slow. He is jointly building a shipyard with the Portuguese, and he only needs to deliver thirty ships to them.

, then you can get the technology and experience of the Portuguese, and at the same time build a shipyard with half the cost. This is the key.

Riel fell into deep thought at this time. He felt that his idea was very good, but he did not expect that he would be interrupted by Emperor Tianqi. He was very entangled in his heart. If he could have a ship, it would mean he was rich! Being able to do so with the best price

Obtaining thirty ships so quickly is definitely not something that can be measured in terms of money.

However, Riel still didn't understand what the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to do? He actually didn't want a ship? But this was not a problem that he should consider. After thinking about it, Riel said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty the Emperor, no.

Do you know when you plan to start sea trade?"

"If we can reach an agreement, I am going to start building ships in Fujian Shipbuilding immediately. Of course, I will need your experience and technology. By next year at the latest, there should be ships on the water. In this case, I will start sea trade with the outside world. Here

Before that, I will clear the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible and remove obstacles for the opening of the sea!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile and said with a very relaxed expression.

Gritting his teeth, Riel calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, we hope to obtain trade rights in the Ming Dynasty. If the Emperor agrees, we will also agree to the previous things!"

Emperor Tianqi felt secretly happy in his heart, but his face remained calm. He nodded and said: "Okay! Very good! I promise you. As for how to do it specifically, there will be a special person to talk to you. Once the matter is discussed

If it works, we can sign a treaty."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Riel was relieved to be able to finalize the matter. Although it cost more money than expected, it was nothing. Although people like him were living in Macau, they still had money.

, and besides, once you can fully enjoy trade, you can have as much money as you want.

Now that Spain has declined, before Riel came, the Portuguese in Macau had already received aid from the country. This was for the rejuvenation of the country! The royal family has agreed to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, and someone will come up with the money.

"By the way, there is one more thing, I hope you can agree to it!" Emperor Tianqi seemed to have remembered something again, and looked at Riel with a smile and said.

"Your Majesty, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Riel was stunned, thinking that Emperor Tianqi was going to regret it, and his heart suddenly rose.

After looking at Riel, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "I hope to hire some people from you Portuguese people, and I hope you won't stop me."

"It is their blessing to be valued by His Majesty the Emperor. No matter what His Majesty the Emperor chooses, as long as they have no objections, we will not interfere." Riel breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a small matter.
