The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Chapter 133 The Spaniards traveled thousands of miles to send gifts

The fireworks display started at 12 midnight and lasted until dawn the next day.

Under the gorgeous fireworks, many people even raised their necks and screamed all night long.

Although fireworks have been a very common thing in the Ming Dynasty, the people of Luzon in the original area were not allowed to possess fireworks with gunpowder because the Spaniards were afraid of the Chinese rebellion.

Therefore, it is difficult for the original people of Luzon and the white people here to see fireworks, let alone such a large-scale fireworks display.

It is also difficult to see those people who were sold to Luzon by the corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty. After all, they were the poor people in the village in the past. Lighting a few firecrackers during the New Year was considered a celebration, and few people in the village would light them all night long. Fireworks are something only city officials can afford.

As for the natives?

These Ming Dynasty backbones don’t have time to watch the fireworks show.

When the people of Ming Dynasty were eating New Year's Eve dinner and watching the fireworks.

The factories are still brightly lit, and thousands of indigenous employees still do not stop working. They work hard on the production front line and continue to shine for the vigorous development of Ming Dynasty.

But it is the Chinese New Year after all, and Emperor Zhu Da is not one of those stingy capitalist bosses.

Considering the hard work of the indigenous employees, Boss Zhu gave a 5-cent red envelope to each indigenous employee with a wave of his hand!

5 cents is a lot of money, you can buy a pack of instant noodles!

Moreover, in the future, there will be half an egg or half a salted fish in the aboriginal food! (Some people have died of malnutrition due to high-intensity work.)

Not only that, in order to ensure the physical and mental health of every Aboriginal person, Zhu Heyi also decided to add entertainment projects for Aboriginal employees.

From now on, the Ming Dynasty Elegance will be played every day for these indigenous employees.

Well...during meal times, but it's free!

A group of indigenous employees held red envelopes in their hands, biting into the delicious and tender eggs, and choked up as they watched the shocking scene on the screen.

"His Majesty the Ming Emperor was really kind to them!"

……

Early the next morning, Xu Jingming and other officials came to pay homage. This made Emperor Zhu Da, who slept very late last night, keep complaining about who started this tradition.

After visiting the temple, it was impossible to catch up on his sleep. He still had to take officials to worship his ancestors.

Fortunately, Xu Jingming built this altar not far from the palace, and its scale is far less exaggerated than that of Nanjing and Beijing. With the simplification of some processes, it is not so tiring that people will die.

After finishing a series of things and sending out New Year greetings to every official, Zhu Heyi thought he could rest. Unexpectedly, Wang Chen came to report that a Spanish envoy wanted to come to see him.

"Oh? Spaniard, tell him to come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Zhu Heyi wanted to rest, he was more curious about what these Spaniards were thinking.

"Announce the appearance of the Spanish envoy!"

Not long after, Thomas and his entourage walked into the main hall and immediately knelt three times and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Count Thomas, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Spain, has met with His Majesty the Ming Emperor. On behalf of the Spanish Royal Family, I would like to express my greetings to you and wish His Majesty the Emperor a happy New Year and good health."

Originally Thomas was unwilling to give such a grand gift.

But his Ming adviser told him that three kowtows and nine bows were the most basic etiquette for foreign envoys to meet the emperor. If they could not do this, then there would be no need to talk about the following matters.

Well, do as the Romans do, not to mention how he can get closer to the Ming Emperor and successfully solve the troubles in the Philippines.

"No courtesy." Zhu Heyi said calmly.

After getting the answer, Thomas stood up and winked at his entourage, who immediately took out two fluffy little guys from a small basket they carried.

"Your Majesty, I got these two white tiger cubs by chance before I left. I heard that white tigers are totems of mythical beasts in the East and are a sign of auspiciousness, so I brought them to Your Majesty on the occasion of the New Year."

Looking at the two little white tigers brought by the Spaniards, Zhu Heyi was speechless.

Last time, the British gave him a giraffe, saying it was a unicorn. This time, the Spanish gave him a white tiger. Next time, would it be the turn of the French and the Portuguese to give him a peacock or a big tortoise?

Does this mean he wants the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Garden?

He even began to wonder if the Spaniard had heard about the British's last sacrifice of giraffes, and after getting a batch of precious watches from him, he also wanted to come and make a fortune.

"Yeah! So cute!"

Just when Zhu Heyi was still guessing what the Spaniard's intentions were, the little girl Zhu Zhaoyu came out of nowhere. She took a look at the two stuffed dumplings held in the Spaniard's hands.

Then he ran to the Spaniard who was holding two tiger cubs and stretched out his little hands to tease the two tiger cubs.

This little girl suddenly appeared, interrupting Thomas's train of thought while he was still organizing his words.

He didn't know the identity of the little girl in front of him, but he looked at her exquisite and gorgeous clothes, and she could run around the palace at will!

Immediately, Thomas rolled his eyes, took the little tiger from his companion and handed it to Zhu Zhaoyu.

"My beautiful princess, even though these little guys can't even stand upright now, when they grow up they will be the king of beasts, and your princess can even use them as mounts!" Thomas said with a flattering look on his face.

The little girl seemed to really listen. She took the little white tiger handed over by Thomas and turned to look at Zhu Heyu with wide eyes...

Seeing Zhu Zhaoyu's behavior, Zhu Heyi had the urge to cover his forehead.

From now on, will you have to help count the money if you are sold?

Forget it... (Some people will say that I raised the princess to waste, but when the Ming Dynasty is strong and dominates the world, it doesn't matter whether she is crippled or not.)

"Come here, take Her Royal Highness back!"

The two frightened maids took the little girl away. Of course, the little tiger was also taken away.

The tiger was also taken away, and Zhu Heyi did not intend to continue to go around with the Spaniards. He might come up with some new tricks later, so he said directly:

"Count Thomas traveled thousands of miles to Ming Dynasty just to send me two white tiger cubs, and my soldiers also told me that your country still has a huge fleet parked in Singapore."

Thomas was shocked when he said this.

It was clear that the fleet had just arrived in Singapore a few days ago, but why did the Ming Emperor already know about it?Has Ming's intelligence network developed to this extent?

Thomas raised his head and glanced at the young-looking Emperor Ming on the dragon throne, and said quickly:

"Dear Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, please don't get me wrong. The Kingdom of Spain has no intention of becoming an enemy of the Ming Empire. The purpose of carrying the fleet is to prevent pirates from plundering. Nowadays, pirates are rampant. If we don't send a fleet to accompany us, we may encounter changes!"
