Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 532

No one realizes that in an industrial revolution, another new industrial revolution is trying to insert seamlessly.

Most people are still immersed in the joy of the return of the Global Fleet and immersed in the stories of various Global Fleets, but they do not know that the real great changes actually begin now.

The Global Fleet has indeed made the world aware of the power of Ming Dynasty, and many people even regard it as the beginning of the real globalization of the world.The Global Fleet has brought back some diplomats from various countries, as well as some businessmen. Naturally, they will be able to board the Global Fleet, but they will have to pay a relatively high price.

Bai Mingxiu summoned diplomats from the Kingdom of Italy, the Basque Republic, and the Republic of Catalonia in the Taiping Palace. They are the ambassadors sent to Daming this time.Ming Dynasty and these three newly established European countries formed a Commonwealth Confederacy, and they were naturally obliged to visit their sovereign.

According to the understanding of the Ming people, the ambassadors of the three countries all bowed to Bai Mingxiu and said, "I greet the Emperor of the Ming Empire, His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Italy, the Supreme Consul of the Basque Republic and the Supreme Consul of the Republic of Catalonia."

Originally, according to the personal opinion of the Italian ambassador, he only needed to call himself His Majesty the King, but Bai Mingxiu insisted that his first identity must be the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so for the sake of balance, he had to pronounce all these titles together .

This kind of experience is still a bit novel to Bai Mingxiu. Although all these designs are made by himself, it is still a bit miraculous to become the king of Italy and govern two small republics.

"Welcome you to come from afar. As your monarch, I will fulfill my obligations in accordance with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Italy, the Constitution of the Basque Republic and the Constitution of the Republic of Catalonia. At the same time, I also assure you that Italy, Brazil Skoda and Catalonia enjoy full autonomy within the permission of the law, and within the framework of the co-ownership confederation, they are close brothers and allies with the Ming Empire," Bai Mingxiu said.

The Italian ambassador, Giovanni, said with "affectionateness": "The Italian people are grateful for the kindness of the great emperor, and created this brand-new country. We visited the cities of Ming Dynasty all the way, and lived for the capital, which has a population of one million. Shocked and excited by the modern metropolis, we believe that under His Majesty's governance, Italy can also share in the glory."

Three ambassadors from different countries came to Daming, all with different missions.The Basque Country and Catalonia are relatively simple. They are relatively satisfied with their current autonomous status, but are worried about being influenced by Spain or France.The two Andalusian Peninsula countries have discovered that France is exerting diplomatic influence. Although Louis XIV did not dare to blatantly reach out to the Ming Dynasty, he has already done a lot of moves.Therefore, both Basque and Catalonia hope to receive more military security protection from the Ming Dynasty, and garrisoning them is the most appropriate.

Italy, on the other hand, has a relatively strong ambition, especially the Kingdom of Italy is now entrusted with the mission of unifying the Apennine Peninsula by Bai Mingxiu, and they very much hope to have a powerful army of the Kingdom of Italy.So for this reason, Italian Ambassador Giovanni hopes to obtain a batch of military equipment in Ming Dynasty at a free or low price to form their army.

The Italians wanted Daming to give money and weapons to support them becoming a European power. Originally, the nobles from different Italian states were all low-class goods in Europe. Now that they have this opportunity, they all plan to take advantage of it.

Bai Mingxiu was well aware of the intentions of the Italians. He said gently but with indifference: "Since I have become the king of the Italian kingdom, I will naturally take care of the Italian subjects. But a country must work hard, be united, and be diligent and capable. In order to have a future. Italy has very good conditions and is a good opportunity to develop industry and trade. Here, Ming Dynasty will give some necessary help. As for weapons and equipment, they will follow the "Ming Confederation Preferential Agreement" signed in Madrid. Treaty to implement."

The price of weapons and equipment sold to the United States is only [-]% of that sold to other countries, which is very cost-effective.But even so, the arms dealers of Ming Dynasty made a lot of money.Moreover, Da Ming also learned from the other side that the United States is very strict in arms export management. If Shen Heguo increases the price of Da Ming's weapons and resells them to other countries, then Da Ming will punish them.

His Majesty the Guangfu Emperor was not interested in chatting with these ambassadors, and in the end it was the people from the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty who communicated with them.Giovanni was very disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

This time Italy sent at least 400 people to Daming, covering various fields, hoping to learn from Daming.In fact, not counting those in the Global Fleet, all European countries are using their own ships to transport personnel to the Ming Dynasty.Some are diplomats, the main ones are businessmen, and some are foreign students and scholars.

In the eyes of Europeans, Daming has become like a lighthouse. People from different fields hope to come here to learn, to learn the latest scientific knowledge, to learn various engineering technologies, to learn national politics, to learn social culture, to learn business, and to learn art. , and so on.

Giovanni walked out of the Taiping Palace, looked at the tall buildings in the capital, looked at the bustling crowd, and said with emotion: "I used to think that Genoa and Milan were already very big cities, but now that I came to the capital of Ming Dynasty, I felt that here The prosperity is beyond imagination. I think the Ming Dynasty looked at us Europeans the same way we look at the indigenous people in the Americas."

Catalans see something else: “There are lights everywhere at night, and people walk through the streets, go to the shops, go to the restaurants. The people we see on the street are well-dressed, although here is The capital of this huge empire, but there are no slums, and people seem to live a decent life, which is already a very surprising thing. Look at the buildings in the business district, it is said that there are countless companies, they run different The business shows that Ming’s industry and commerce is exceptionally prosperous. Civilized, wealthy, and orderly! Such a country is simply an ideal country. If Catalonia can become like this one day, it is really God’s blessing.”

The Basques said: "Impossible, there are bad roots in the national character of Europeans! Even if we can only achieve 70.00% of Ming Dynasty, it is already very good. Europe has been at war for hundreds of years, but Ming Dynasty is relatively Calmly, in my opinion, the European race is simply inferior!"

"It would be great if I was born as a Ming Dynasty." A group of spiritual Ming people began to appear during this period.
