Ming dynasty grand dude

The rows of shops on both sides of the road silently explained the prosperity of Daming.

This prosperity also makes these Europa people feel in a trance.

Compared with the capital of Ming Dynasty, Venice is simply petty!

There is not even a comparison between the two!

This city, even if they don't have a specific estimate.

It can also be guessed that the population must be more than one million!

A population of more than one million, what kind of concept is this? !

The population of some small countries is only a million.

"Tens of millions of citizens, from Daming's point of view...there really are!"

The cardinal in the carriage muttered to himself, this carriage is very comfortable.

But he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Although the intention has been signed, it is still a piece of empty paper without the consent of Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet.

This contract must be won!

The cardinal cheered himself up.

At this time, Europa's combined fleet encountered good luck.

The rare monsoon continued continuously, which accelerated the fleet's sailing speed by more than a notch.

With many times of sailing experience and charts, the speed of the fleet's sailing is now advancing by leaps and bounds.

In just over a month, about half of the voyage has been completed.

It's almost uncannily quick, especially in this day and age.

After all, it took Da Gama ten months to travel from Portugal to Tianzhu.

Of course, this is when they do not have a clear navigation chart.

It took six months for the restored clipper ship Gothenburg to travel from Europa to China.

"It seems that our voyage this time will be very smooth!"

Duke Burt secretly glanced at a woman on the bow looking at the sea, and admired again in his heart.

I don't know who can have such good luck to marry the crown of Princess Europa.

"Princess Sofia, please don't stand too close."

Duke Burt really wanted to win the favor of this princess, if he could marry her...

That is really less than 50 years of struggle!

You know, Her Royal Highness has the right to inherit.

Moreover, it is still the second in line of succession, especially the health of the first in line heir has been very bad.

In other words, as long as he became her husband, he would most likely be promoted to prince!

Maybe even become king!

"It's all right! Your Excellency the Duke of Burt."

The woman looked back slowly, and smiled sweetly, her blue eyes were as clear as the sea on her fair face.

It is not for nothing that Her Royal Highness Princess Sofia can be called the "Crown of Princesses of Europa".

She studied in a monastery with her aunt and was blessed by a cardinal.

And her beauty was once extolled by poets at the ball.

It's a pity that no one took off the crown of Princess Europa.

This time, it is said that she couldn't calm down for a long time after seeing the portrait of Yu Chi Tiger.

Then, regardless of her father's objection, she insisted on embarking on the fleet to the east.

"Excuse me, how long will it take for us to reach Daming?!"

For the mysterious East, Sofia has her own longing.

Especially after seeing that oil painting, Sofia even thought that it was a real angel.

"We are very lucky! The current monsoon is very suitable for sailing."

Duke Burt sighed, knowing that this beauty probably had nothing to do with him.

Especially the nuns and nuns behind her looked at her with thieves-like eyes.

There are also those few guards, they are all good hands at first glance.

"Based on the current monsoon conditions, it should arrive within two months."

Sofia smiled and nodded.

The nanny behind her put a gauze on her, surrounded her and walked slowly towards the cabin.

Could this most colorful rose in Europa be picked by that Jade Chi Tiger? !

Duke Burt couldn't help but smile wryly, if so...

During this voyage, I am afraid that most of the nobles on board will angrily fight the jade chi tiger.

Chapter 858 Entering the Imperial Mission from afar, the most beautiful Sofia

Young Master Zhang didn't know that he was already being missed by others.

In the newly built Banshan Manor, he smiled and watched Miss Ashikaga and Miao An playing in the water.

According to the request of Grandpa Zhang, a swimming pool was built in the manor.

The swimsuit was naturally tossed out by Mr. Zhang, but Ashikaga Tsuru and the others felt ashamed and disliked it.

Put it on happily and play in the swimming pool.

Anyway, it's my husband watching, and there are generals around him.

Naturally, you can do whatever you want.

Hmm...Miss Miao'an's broad mind is indeed even wider!

Zhang Xiaogong smacked his mouth and sighed.

It has been several years in the blink of an eye, but I have finally mastered the "Dragon Tiger Returning Pill Gold Mercury True Lead Art".

Xiao Zhang is in tears!

I'm easy!

Day and night!The two broad-minded Miss Tongyan are beside her.

But he had no choice but to hold back.

I still have to be molested by my young lady, what a day...

Finally, I can feel proud!

In the past two years, Ms. Miao An has not been in a hurry, but Ashikaga Crane is.

The Ashikaga family has now confirmed that the son of her and Yu Chihu is the heir.

Dad sat firmly on the Diaoyutai in Fusang, and he took care of the few big names with thorns in the middle.

Qi Jingtong also had a tacit understanding, and transferred fifty famous warships to support the old guy.

Everyone in Fusang knows about it now, and that son-in-law is awesome!

I can't afford it.

Speaking of which, this old guy's tricks are also flying, and he didn't force the other party to death.

He just gouged out a piece of the opponent's flesh, beat them up and ordered them to abdicate to his son.

This is when the other daimyos breathed a sigh of relief, at least they didn't get tendered to death.

It is impossible to fight, so it is good news for them to have a relatively benevolent lord.

"Your Highness, Heinrich asks to see..."

Sakura came in a hurry, the little girl glanced at Ashikaga and Miss Miao'an.

Looking at myself again, I was extremely frustrated.

"Let him go to the side hall! I'll go there now."

Yingzi responded crisply, and Miss Miao An hurried ashore to wipe it off.

I want to change my young master's clothes, and accompany the young master there by the way.

Seeing this, Ashikaga also hurriedly got up from the swimming pool, but Mr. Zhang smiled and waved his hands.

"I can go, you continue to play."

Seeing this, Yingzi hurried forward and put on a long scarf for the young grandpa.

After that, he quickly changed into a fresh set of clothes, and walked slowly to the side hall.

Heinrich bowed and waited quietly at this moment, but he didn't even sit down.

Seeing Young Master Zhang coming out, he immediately saluted respectfully.

"The letter from the capital is almost settled."

Heinrich said softly, "Your Excellency the Bishop exaggerated Europa's military strength and combat capabilities..."

"A part of the power of the Ottoman Empire is said to belong to Europa."

Jade Chihu is not surprising, after all, the power that Europa can display now is comparable to that of Daming...

It can't be compared at all!

If you want to increase your bargaining chip, you have to blow it up.

The Europeans are also good at bluffing.

The key to bluffing is that you have the momentum to back up at any rate.

Bringing fifty warships over, the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have to weigh it.

After all, it is possible to bring out fifty warships, although it is not as good as Daming's warships.

But to beat him down, Daming seems to have to be hacked a few times.

Then Europa turned pale in a hurry, and asked the United Fleet of his hometown to rush over to support the situation.

Isn't that what it means? !

Grandpa Zhang also planned to keep Daming under a certain amount of pressure.

Then gradually disintegrate Europa, after all, they were originally together.

"The investors and the Holy See both agree to cooperate."

But Heinrich paused, and said softly: "It's just that they demand that you and your descendants must take over the contract."

"It's a hard requirement, otherwise they would rather not cooperate."

Zhang Xiaogong was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled.

They want to cooperate with Daming, but if it is official, there are too many records left.

And there are too many uncertainties, for them... private is more trustworthy.

This is the usual thinking mode of investors, and they rarely deal with officials.

They even reject dealing with officials, they prefer to deal with the leaders of the officials.

"Walking with the king and chatting with the nobles" is not the patent of that family.

This is a very high probability that they learned from investors.

For them, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is not as convenient as cooperating with Jade Chihu.

Especially after studying the family of Jade Chihu, the Zhongwu King Zhang's family died in battle for the old Zhu's family for several generations.
