Domineering Daming

But Elizabeth clearly felt that the atmosphere between the two had changed. Although they were reserved with each other before, this time, both parties were overly enthusiastic, and each other was well aware that they were on guard.

Lisbon is not big, the carriage circled around a group of guards and turned back to the palace.

Philip IV was quite happy, whether Zhu Youjian listened or not, interested or not, he was full of enthusiasm and interest.

Without the translation, Zhu Youjian couldn't understand the voices outside the carriage at all. He didn't know how many people were pointing, laughing, pointing at him, and whispering.

Zhu Youjian didn't like such occasions, and he wasn't used to these Xiyi women's uneducated and shameless. He became more and more disgusted in his heart, and his face was flat. He let Philip IV spit, and only wanted to go back as soon as possible to get rid of these crap things .

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Philip IV looked at Zhu Youjian and said loudly: "Zhu, we have a very beautiful canyon here. I'll see you to see it tomorrow. You will definitely like it."

Zhu Youjian didn't like the people, things and scenery in Spain, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said calmly: "Your Majesty, we have been wandering at sea for a year, and we are still not used to it here. , let us rest for a few days?"

Philip IV was stunned, and immediately said loudly: "Yes, I forgot about it, I'm sorry Zhu, starting tomorrow, you can rest, it doesn't matter how long you want to rest, here, you can go wherever you want , treat it as your own home..."

Zhu Youjian raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Philip IV held Zhu Youjian's shoulders, walked inside, and said: "Some people will come from Madrid these two days, I will introduce you to Zhu, they are all talented people, I believe you Will definitely like it..."

Zhu Youjian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said immediately, "I'm looking forward to it."

Philip IV was very happy to hear what the interpreter said, he laughed and asked Zhu Youjian to be sent back to his room.

Feng Zhu and the others were already waiting, and when they saw Zhu Youjian coming in, they looked pleasantly surprised, and just about to ask, they saluted quickly.

"I have seen the prince." A group of people said.

Although Zhu Youjian is the chief envoy in name, he is the prince, the current brother, who dares to neglect?

Zhu Youjian nodded, sat down on the chair in the middle, but frowned involuntarily.

He hates everything in Spain, including basic necessities of life!

He picked up the teacup, took a sip reluctantly, and said, "Philip IV told me that officials will come over in two days. He must really want to negotiate with us."

Zheng Zhilong went on to say: "Yes, the general asked people to go around to find out what happened, and found that Spain is very difficult now, and they also tend to form an alliance with me, Ming Dynasty, but the situation is more complicated, so we need to look more... Philip IV is not Can't decide everything."

Obai said: "I investigated through the missionaries, and the news from the palace should be a preference. In addition, there are not many changes in the army in various parts of Spain, and there are no changes in the warships at sea."

Feng Zhu listened, and said after deliberation: "It seems to be a shock. As long as Philip IV is not hostile, negotiations will not be a problem. Let's wait patiently and send envoys to other countries at the same time."

Zhu Youjian looked at him and said solemnly: "Be careful, I think this Philip IV is not simple, maybe he has other ideas."

Feng Zhu and the others nodded silently. They were in a foreign country, and their lives and deaths were in the hands of outsiders, so they naturally had to be careful.

"Is the missionary reliable?" Zhu Youjian still asked worriedly.He has a strong notion in his heart that he is not of our own race, and his heart must be different, and he still does not believe in these Xiyi people.

Feng Zhudao: "Don't worry, my lord, what they are doing is not the core thing, we are on guard."

Zhu Youjian's face was calm, and his eyes were a little strange: "I think Philip IV seems to be interested in negotiating with us, but he has scruples. Even if the negotiation is successful, I'm afraid it's just a paper agreement, which will be rejected at any time." tear."

Zhu Youjian has always attached importance to promises, let alone written ones. He hates this kind of things that tear up agreements at will. Naturally, there are also factors of Zhu Xu in it.

Feng Zhu smiled and said, "My lord, what we want is a contract for three or two years. After two or three years, we will continue regardless of whether Spain will tear up the contract."

Zhu Youjian frowned, his ugly expression flashed past.This is also one of the reasons why he hates Zhu Xu. He is too calculating and lacks the majesty that a Ming emperor should have.

Zheng Zhilong noticed Zhu Youjian's expression, his heart moved, and he explained: "Of course I, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, said the same thing, with a golden mouth, and the people of the western barbarians have no education, and they don't know the majesty of the emperor. We can't even judge it in front of us. Three years from now."

Obai was a little smarter, and directly asked the question: "My lord, we are just emissaries, and we only need to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor. Others, that is not something we should worry about."

In fact, what Aobai said was already a bit cruel, and he was short of saying "not seeking his own government if he is not in his position", which is naturally very sensitive to Zhu Youjian's identity.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Oboi, and there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

But Aobai said decisively with a righteous look on his face: "My lord, the last sentence is for this mission. If there is any offence, please also ask the lord Haihan."

Let Ao Bai tell the good and the bad, what can Zhu Youjian do?

His heart was raging with anger, and he looked at Feng Zhu.

Feng Zhu immediately looked at Oboi, and said coldly: "Presumptuous, you can blame the prince!"

Aobai's expression changed immediately, and he quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, forgive me, I will be confused."

Zhu Youjian suppressed his anger, stood up and said, "You guys had better be quiet these two days, and don't do other things. Also, how to negotiate, what will be the result of the negotiation, the final contract must be given to the king, there must be no secrets. contract, otherwise this king will not sign it!"

Feng Zhu stood up, leaned over and said, "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and strode away.

Zheng Zhilong watched Zhu Youjian leave, looked at Feng Zhu, and said, "Elder-in-law, is your lord alright?"

Everyone in the world knows that this prince is at odds with the current emperor, if he gets angry, it will be really troublesome at this time.

Feng Zhu said: "It's okay, the lord knows the seriousness, don't say what you shouldn't say in the future, okay, let's not talk about these things for now, if someone invites you to a banquet tomorrow, just go, if you have something to say, you can reveal it first, and see how they respond. Then determine our negotiation bottom line and skills..."

Chapter 1199 Nodes

In the next two days, Zhu Youjian and others were effectively grounded, and they could not go to other places except some places in the palace.

Zhu Youjian, Feng Zhu, Zheng Zhilong and others were quite nervous, calm and calm, waiting quietly.

On the night of the third day, Zhu Youjian, Feng Zhu and others quietly gathered in Zhu Youjian's room, discussing in secret.

"We received a letter from the back road. All preparations are relatively proper. The relationship with the local area has been straightened out. There is a piece of land, almost the size of a mansion, which belongs to us. The location is a little hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the land is fertile. , if it is managed well, it may be of great use..." Zheng Zhilong said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded, with slightly relaxed expressions, and Oboi went on, saying: "The ship is almost repaired, the weapons have been re-inspected, fresh water, and more than half of the food have been replenished. If there is a war, it will be enough for a period of time. If there is a way out, maybe we still have to go." I can go back..."

Everyone nodded calmly, they had already thought about this, Li Yizao said: "I have traveled to many places and investigated the geography and division of power in Europe. The situation is not optimistic. Europe is too chaotic and complicated. There will be a big war at any time, Spain is the core, we cannot stay for long."

Zhu Youjian listened quietly without speaking.Their trip was a narrow escape, and they were already mentally prepared not to go back.

Feng Zhu's face was quite calm, and he said: "Well, I received some news that people from Madrid will arrive soon, presumably Philip IV will not last long, and maybe he will negotiate with us."

Zhu Youjian hated these barbarian countries very much. Seeing this, he said, "How is the situation with other places?"

Feng Zhu frowned, looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Go back to your lord, this place is too complicated, and the envoys sent out are very cautious. They would rather not do it than make a mistake, so there is no news for the time being."

Zhu Youjian was stunned, and immediately said: "We still need to hurry up, we can't delay, it's best we can go back to the boat."

Zhu Youjian has always been impatient in doing things, and he doesn't like to be controlled by others.

Feng Zhu understood his thoughts, turned to Zheng Zhilong, and Obai said: "Let the army be in a state of combat readiness at all times, and the big basket must monitor the situation everywhere! We finally got here, and we must not capsize easily!"

"Yes, the general will understand!" Zheng Zhilong and Ao Bai said in a deep voice.

During the discussion in the Ming Dynasty, Philip IV and Queen Elizabeth were embracing and talking after exercising.
