Although Zheng Zhilong said so, he had clearly killed and imprisoned some missionaries, and these missionaries angered the local government, and before the apocalypse, there were Jinyiwei involved, and there were no less than dozens of deaths.
Naturally, Majdalzini knows about these things, but this kind of thing is not clear, and at this time it can only be pointed, and it cannot be overdone.
With a kind face, Majdalzini said: "I, Your Majesty the Pope, the Holy See is full of yearning for the Ming Dynasty, and the arrival of your envoy really makes me happy." ” Zheng Zhilong ignored the strange words of the translator and warmly invited: "Tomorrow I will hold a military exercise, and I will also invite His Excellency the Archbishop to observe." ” Majdalzini looked immobile and said, "Of course." ” Zheng Zhilong smiled, said a few more polite words, and turned around and walked into the deck.
Many people came one after another on the Hongwu, all of them were European dignitaries, shuttling with each other, in groups of three or five.
Now it is not suitable for the Ming Dynasty to contact these people and talk about something, but the necessary familiarity is still required, Zheng Zhilong is wearing a military uniform, majestic and majestic, with a cold and evil atmosphere.
These people naturally have their own purposes, and under the premise that the Ming Dynasty and the Holy See did not 'distinguish between victory and defeat', they were quite vigilant, and naturally they would not say anything to the Ming Dynasty.
Seemingly, everyone is waiting and watching.
Zheng Zhilong turned around, then returned to the secret room and discussed the specific details of acting with Okundo.
In the evening, a bonfire dinner was held on the deck, barbecue, hot pot, Daming's liquor, and all kinds of delicacies, which attracted a while.
R burst of laughter and singing and dancing, and naturally there is also an indispensable series of admiration.
Some celebrities and ladies are drunk, and only a few are reserved, and those who are cautious remain sober and rational.
Maynard and Zheng Zhilong stood by the railing, looking at the night view of the sea, blowing the sea breeze, and dissipating some of the smell of wine.
"General, no matter what, we hope to have a friendly cooperation with your country."
Maynard got straight to the point.
Zheng Zhilong looked curious and said, "You don't wait, if the Holy See and Da Ming tear their faces, your behavior will be restricted everywhere, and you may become the target of public criticism in Europe." ” "You don't know Europe, and you don't know us."
Maynard looked at the starlight in the sky, squinted, and said, "We don't like Spain, and we don't like the Holy See, the Holy See can't do anything to us, especially overseas. ” Although the Netherlands is thriving, winning and losing various wars with Spain, and has a strong momentum overseas, its real strength is still far inferior to Spain.
Maynard knew some of the treaties between the Ming Dynasty and Spain, and even knew a lot of details.
The Netherlands could not let Spain propose overseas trade with the Ming Dynasty, and the only place to break the situation was in the Ming Dynasty!
Zheng Zhilong's eyes flashed with surprise, his understanding of Europe was really not enough, his heart turned slightly, and said: "We came to Europe to make friends, not to make enemies, if you have the idea of friendly exchanges, we are also willing to establish diplomatic relations with your country, and establish cooperative relations in economic, trade, and military aspects."
Our relations with Spain do not exclude other countries, nor do we take sides in Europe, let alone interfere in any ......"
'Actually, there's nothing you can do......
Maynard said in his heart, it will take nearly two years for the Ming Dynasty to come from thousands of miles away, and what can it do in Europe.
He was more concerned about overseas, the Dutch merchant ships were all over the world, and now Asia was almost driven out, and if it spread to the Americas, the Netherlands would have to retreat to Europe.
Maynard turned his head to look behind him, and saw that no one was approaching, so he said: "We also hope to sign a trade treaty and military treaty with the Ming Dynasty, of course, we can't come openly, we don't want to completely tear our faces with Spain." ” Zheng Zhilong smiled secretly in his heart, understood what Maynard meant, and was deliberately silent for a while, and said, "I want to hail this matter to His Royal Highness the Prince of our country to decide." ” Maynard was not surprised, and smiled calmly: "Of course." ” Maynard came in advance to show his goodwill, so far.
Zheng Zhilong naturally chatted with him more at this time, changed the topic and talked a few words, and then turned to Odonio.
This governor of the Franks, a close associate of King Louis XIII.
This one is different from Maynard, his face is silent, his mouth is as solid as iron, and he refuses to show a word.
Zheng Zhilong just gave up after a little temptation, although Frank is a European power, but his eyes always feel a little worse, and he has been staring at Europe and Spain.
For Frank, Zheng Zhilong didn't put it on the letter, let them eat dog, and went to find John Tang and the mysterious archbishop, and then went to see Majdalzini, what these people did, what they said was leaky, lukewarm.
Early the next morning, many people were hangover, but the fleets of the Ming Dynasty and Spain had already moved, and they quickly arranged the exercise phalanx.
On the special watchtower, Maynard, Antonio, Majdalzini and others were already standing, holding binoculars, observing the fleet of the Ming Dynasty.
"Wow, the warships of the Ming Dynasty are much better than what I have seen......"
"Look at their hull, his mast, it's so strange, there's only one layer of ......"
"It's a formation is, oh yes, I remember, they said it's called 'One Word Snake'......"
"It's changed again, it's changed again, it's ......
Bow and arrow?
” Some of the ladies let out exclamations, their eyes lit up.
Looking down at the movement formation of the warship from a high vantage point, there will indeed be a different experience.
The Hongwu was also moving, quite slowly.
The soldiers were very busy, adjusting the muzzles, drawing bows and arrows, and the flag commanders stood at the top.
Maynard, Antonio, Majdalzini, John Tong and others stood on the watchtower, their expressions calm, and the binoculars in their hands turned around.
Zheng Zhilong, Okundo was in the command room at the moment, through the huge glass window, Wang looked ahead.
In the distance of their fleet, in their sphere of influence, a number of large and small abandoned ships were scattered all over the sea, floating quietly.
"Zheng, can you really send all of this to the bottom of the sea?"
Okundo wiped his beard and looked ahead, saying with a puzzled look on his face.

"Of course."
Zheng Zhilong's expression was unmoving, and his words were concise and to the point.
Okundo glanced at Zheng Zhilong, and suddenly said loudly, "Zhu, don't follow the rules, give them some surprises, only then can they remember." ” Zheng Zhilong calculated the distance, raised his hand, and said, "Order, prepare to stop the boat, the acting is about to start, all ships are ready!"
” "Yes!"
The lieutenant behind him replied loudly.
Then, the flag commander at the top of the Hongwu waved the flag in all directions, and a killing aura instantly spread throughout the Ming fleet.
The guests on the watchtower panicked for a while, then calmed down, took the binoculars, and anxiously observed back and forth.
The guns of the ships of the Ming Dynasty were raised, and the flag commanders held the flags high, thousands of cannons, and the muzzles of the black holes were raised, facing far ahead. 4
