Lin Chunhong insisted on building a naval advance base in Temasek. Even if Portugal put all his efforts into it, he could not stop it. Odor was very sensible and did not mention this matter at all.

Odor's focus was to allow the dispatch of envoys to exchange for more trade power, or for stricter restrictions on the merchants of the Ming Dynasty. His attitude was quite tough, which annoyed Lin Chunhong. In the end, Lin Chunhong took out the invitation letter from King Charles I of the United Kingdom, and Odor finally made him make him concession and agreed to Jingzhou to send envoys to Lisbon.

However, Odor was quite cunning. He knew the embarrassing relationship between Jingzhou and the Ming court, claiming that he must carry the Ming court's letter, otherwise it would be a contempt for the Portuguese royal family.

This request was not too much, but it posed a big problem for Jingzhou. However, what surprised Odor was that Lin Chunhong happily agreed and agreed that when the storm season passed, Goa, Portugal, would send a navigator to Guangzhou to guide the mission to spread the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.

As for Widdle, although he knew the use of Jingzhou, he was not resistant to being used from the bottom of his heart. After all, the focus of the UK is still in North America. If he could establish good relations with Lin Chunhong and occupy a place in the Far East, why not do it?

Moreover, as a reward, Jingzhou allowed Weidell to engage in re-export trade in the Ming Dynasty, which made Weidell fleet ecstatic. As soon as Aldo left Jingzhou, he immediately returned to Guangzhou and devoted himself to the vigorous sales and made a fortune.

For security reasons, Weidell also agreed with Jingzhou to form a joint fleet with the mission and return to Europe together.

Through the mission, the two peaks of civilizations in the East and the West have established formal connections. As for whether there will be fierce collisions or friendly interactions in the future, no one knows.

The External Liaison Department has been quite busy these days. In addition to negotiating with Odor, negotiations with Zheng Cai and Zheng Hongkui are also underway.

Zheng Cai and Zheng Hongkui spent more than twenty difficult days and nights in Jingzhou before they were summoned by Lin Chunhong. During the summoning, Lin Chunhong only said some scenes and threw the two to the External Relations Office.

Although Lin Chunhong did not fully understand Zheng Zhilong's plan, he also knew it. From the bottom of his heart, Lin Chunhong welcomed Zheng Zhilong's strategy of moving south. After all, Zheng Zhilong controlled almost all Fujian-born maritime merchants, and was a powerful group that could never be ignored along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. If these maritime merchants could be guided to actively expand to the Nanyang islands, there would be many benefits to accelerating the process of Chineseization in the Nanyang region.

What's more, after experiencing the fanaticism of Luzon, the enthusiasm of maritime merchants seemed to be suspected of being oversquandered. The funds raised in this attack on Batavia were not as good as the attack on Luzon, which is a clear evidence. In this case, Zheng Zhilong looked at the South China Sea, which was particularly important.

After arduous negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement: All Ming merchants were allowed to trade freely in the Nanyang region, and both sides were not allowed to interfere with the normal business activities of the other party's merchants for any reason. At the same time, Zheng Group allowed Bangtai Money House to set up money shops within its control, conduct business such as issuing gold notes, redeeming notes, and exchange notes.

As for the purchase of heavy artillery, it was denied by the Foreign Resources Department, and even if Zheng Cai took the tribute and lured it, it would be useless.

However, Zheng Cai and Zheng Hongkui's gains far exceeded expectations. Not only did they not have any shameful tribute clauses, they also received the tacit approval of Lin Chunhong in terms of southward expansion. The only thing that made Zheng Cai difficult to rest was that Jingzhou insisted on setting up a money shop within its control.

When Zheng Cai thought of the mysterious and mysterious things like gold bills and bills, he felt a headache. Humans are always the most feared about unknown things, and Zheng Cai is no exception. He could not see through what evil intentions were hidden behind Lin Chunhong, and he wanted to reject this clause.

But Yang Yiren's stubbornness far exceeded his expectations. Zheng Cai finally agreed to this clause with the intention of restricting merchants from using gold notes and notes.

Neither Zheng Zhilong nor Portugal could affect the foundation of the Jingzhou Group. This is the consensus of all the senior leaders of Jingzhou. Therefore, after reaching an agreement with Portugal and Zheng Zhilong, Lin Chunhong quickly focused his focus on the capital and began to interact with the court.

At the same time, Huang Taiji of Shengjing fell into deep uneasiness.

During the Battle of Pidao, Huang Taiji concentrated more than 10,000 troops and carried the most advanced red barbarian cannons, but was ruined by six giant warships, losing more than 400 elite Jurchens. This disastrous defeat deeply stimulated this nation with few people but extremely fierce people.

Huang Taiji then realized that he had neglected such an important force in the Ming Dynasty. In a hurry, he immediately mobilized all the mobilized forces and focused on inquiries about Lin Chunhong's news.

"Your Majesty! Since Lin Chunhong ordered Zhou Linlao to lead six warships to head north, the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War ordered the demolition of the Anqing Fort and move the artillery to the front line of Xuanda!"

In Chongzheng Hall, Sony, the Ministry of Personnel Qixinlang, knelt on his knees and his head was almost lying on the ground. The so-called Qixinlang was responsible for supervising the six ministers, and in essence it was Huang Taiji's eyewitness to monitor his brothers and relatives. Huang Taiji trusted Sony in particular, not only handed over the most important Ministry of Personnel to him to monitor, but also gave him the responsibility of collecting and organizing intelligence.

Sony is proficient in Mongolian and Chinese, and is smart. He can be considered as if he is in water when doing intelligence work.

Huang Taiji didn't care about Sony's report, but simply said "I understand" and sent Sony away.

...

"Your Majesty, after the Battle of Pidao, Zhu Youjian appointed Xiong Wencan as the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, awarded Yang Yiren the doctoral vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocational vocation

After listening to Sony's report, Huang Taiji was silent for a while, and before he squeezed out a sentence: "You humble both sides and I give in. It's really lively! The Ming Dynasty court can really take the face?"

Sony didn't know how to interface, so he had to shout a common saying: "Slave is stupid!"

Huang Taiji had a gloomy face and said slowly: "Lin Chunhong dominates one side. His natural opponent should be the Ming court. Why did he reach a tacit understanding with the Ming court so quickly? Could it be that Lin Chunhong has always aimed at us? This is impossible. We are far from him and have no grudges, so why do you think about spending so much effort to make us feel sorry for us?"

Sony replied: "According to reliable information, Lin Chunhong's mother is the daughter of Li Rubai. When his mother eloped with her father, she was blocked by Taizu..."

As Huang Taiji listened, he suddenly laughed and said, "Compared with the world, what kind of revenge is this?"
