At the end of the speech, Joao IV officially announced that Princess Catherine would marry far away and become the concubine of Emperor Wu of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of Ming Dynasty officially formed an alliance!

Joao IV added: "We have a deep and long-standing friendship with the Ming Empire. Strictly speaking, this year marks the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Ming and Portugal countries. Because in the year 100 years ago, we Portuguese obtained the right to reside in the Ming Empire Macau. We respect the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty, abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and use Macau as a bridge to carry out cultural exchanges between the two countries!" (Another stated that Macau became a colony when it became a colony in the late Qing Dynasty on December 1, 1887, and Portugal occupied Macau through diplomatic documents)

Joao IV continued: "Thirty years ago, the Ming and Portuguese countries held military exchanges again (purchased red artillery artillery during the Tianqi period). Our soldiers assisted the Ming army in training artillery techniques and resisting the invasion of the Eastern Captains..." (Sun Yuanhua hired Portuguese artillery to train the Ming army gunners, and in the battle of Ningyuan, Nurhaci was killed with one shot)

The more IV of Joao became more and more excited, making it seem as if today's alliance was arranged a hundred years ago.

Wu Zhong chuckled, not taking these "friendly deeds" seriously.

If it weren't for the Battle of Tunhaimen during the Zhengde period and the Battle of Xicaowan during the Jiajing period, the Ming Navy had ruined Portugal, which attempted to colonize the Ming Dynasty twice in a row, how could they give up their force and honestly do business with the Ming Dynasty through peaceful trade?

The Ming Dynasty is very clear now that if you want to win the respect of the other party, you must have strong strength, otherwise you will be a lamb to be slaughtered!

For example, when the Ming Ocean Fleet first came to Portugal, these turtle grandsons prevented the Ming delegation like a thief. Just like the lies in front of him, the fourth generation of Ruo Ao, who was talking nonsense, was also unreasonable when he first summoned Wu Zhong.

Now? I talked about the friendly relations between the two countries like a licking dog, and even praised his future son-in-law, Emperor Tianwu.

He didn't mention the two wars between Portugal and the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago, as if it had never happened.

Joao IV smiled and loudly proposed: "For the friendship between Portugal and Ming Dynasty, play the national anthems of the two countries!"

The Portuguese nobles smiled and agreed, and the Foreign Minister went to arrange the band himself.

The national anthem represents a country, a nation’s spirit, fighting process or grand goals, and represents the voice of the people. It can also be a microcosm of the history of a country or nation.

The Netherlands was the first country in the world to have a national anthem. In 1569, in order to resist the rule and oppression of the Spanish rulers, the Netherlands sang "Ode to William" and rushed towards the enemy and defeated the Spanish rulers. Later, this song became the national anthem of the Netherlands.

From then on, many countries rushed to imitate and formulated their own national anthem. Portugal, which agreed to be oppressed by Spain, also composed a song.

According to the unformed international practice, the national anthems of the two countries should be played, and the host should be placed behind it. The first one to play the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty "Ode to the Imperial Ming".

Because the Portuguese did not prepare in advance, no one could sing the national anthem of the Ming Dynasty, and could only be played by the Royal Navy Band of the Ming Dynasty.

With Wu Zhong's nod, the commander of the Ming military band held his head up and proudly waved his arms. The majestic melody of "Ode to the Imperial Ming" immediately resounded throughout the hall.

The Ming general in the hall stood attentively with a "pop" sound, facing the band, as if he was injected with chicken blood, and sang the lyrics of the passionate blood straightened up with his neck:

"The magnificent Ming Dynasty, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers are bustling and prosperous, and the sky will make all nations."

"The emperor is bright, the eight wolves of Wiga, the sun and the moon shine together, shining for thousands of years!"

After singing the national anthem that shook the ceiling, a staggering scene appeared. All the Ming generals raised their arms high and cheered three times:

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

"Wansheng!!!"

Although the Portuguese generals could not understand the lyrics, the lyrics of the Ming Dynasty were passionate and shocking tone, and their fanatical and inspiring momentum, everyone present couldn't help but burst into blood and shouted.

Ruo Ao Fourth was slightly shocked. From the Ming generals in front of him, he seemed to see the rise of a warlike nation!

Wu Zhong beside him was smiling. This was the first time that the Ming national anthem had entered the West and showed the Westerners the glory of the Ming soldiers. It was a huge progress!

Princess Catherine, who loves Eastern culture, was even more shocked. Is this the army built by the legendary Oriental Emperor?

I heard that my future husband is not only young, extraordinary, but also handsome...

At this time, Katherine's face turned slightly red, and she once again looked expectant.

The noisy scene lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before it became cold. The Portuguese band performers sitting around the hall were wearing white dresses and black bow tie. They took out the prepared music score and looked at His Majesty the King, asking for instructions on when to play the music.

Joao IV, who reacted, walked off the throne and waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Play music!"

The national anthem of Portugal was created after independence and also represents the national spirit of the country, with the whole rhythm being ups and downs.

After the incident, Joao IV said some scenes that wished the two countries a long-lasting friendship, and the ceremony officially ended.

The news of the Ming-Portugal alliance disclosed at this ceremony spread throughout Europe through several major newspapers.

The Ming fleet defeated the Spanish Invincible Fleet, and the whole of Europe began to pay attention to this ancient empire in the East.

At the same time, the deeds of Emperor Zhu Cilang of the Ming Dynasty began to become popular in Europe. Princesses from some countries asked people to ask the Ming Ocean Fleet to give a portrait of Emperor Tianwu to comfort their curiosity...

After a few days of rest, Wu Zhong was formulating a plan to return to his country, and French Minister Charlotte suddenly visited him.

Charlotte pussed Lai Lai and said two polite words. Wu Zhong was impatient and asked directly: "What are you doing? Just say something!"

Charlotte smiled awkwardly and said, "Your country's ocean-going fleet still has many warships that have not been repaired. You may as well move to France as a guest first..."

Wu Zhong looked at him suspiciously: "Is this considered France's invitation to our Ming Dynasty mission?"

Charlotte looked happy and said, "Yes, my French ambassador to Portugal, on behalf of the Kingdom of France, officially sent an invitation to the Ming mission!"

"Don't say it earlier!"

Wu Zhong glanced at him and muttered.

Originally, he wanted to go to France to see it, but Wu Zhong was very disgusted because the French minister had been extremely unfriendly to Portugal and showed an aggressive attitude.

Now that the Ming Dynasty had a younger brother in Europe, the situation was opened up. Emperor Tianwu's strategic goal was achieved. Without much trouble in France, Wu Zhong stopped his idea of ​​going to France.

However, now people are lowering their posture and actively extending their olive branch. In addition, Wu Zhong is very interested in a rumor in France and has a new idea...

Because once Wu Zhong made fun of Fulin and his mother, a strange mother and son, in front of Zhu Cilang, was hard to see.

Zhu Cilang, who was knowledgeable, smiled and told him that there were also Fulin and Hong Chengchou in the West, that is France. The young king Louis XIV had an old lover, and he was the prime minister of France.

The prime minister was Cardinal Ma Zarran, who was of the same nature as Hong Chengchou. He had been in charge of the government for a long time and went to sleep with the queen mother if he had nothing to do.

Wu Zhong was obviously moved by such a big new thing and such a awesome person. He wanted to see it with his own eyes and have a long experience.
