Valley Emperor

In the first half an hour, the imperial diplomats read out the terms of the empire's peace talks to the Portuguese mission. After reading it, they left. The Portuguese considered it for two days, and then agreed completely.

The remaining half an hour is the time for both parties to confirm the contract and then sign the contract.

In the three days before and after, the total time of actual contact between the two sides was one hour, and then the armistice treaty was signed.

According to the armistice treaty, the Portuguese recognized the special rights of the Tang Empire in the Indian Ocean coastal areas, and promised not to cross the Cape of Good Hope to colonize the Indian Ocean coastal areas.

At the same time, the Empire and Portugal open designated colonial ports to each other for berthing, supply and trade for each other's ships, and the two sides conduct friendly trade!

The armistice negotiations between the Datang Empire and Portugal lasted for three days in total. The actual contact between the two parties was only an hour, and the contract was quickly finalized and signed.

This high efficiency benefits from the unique diplomatic strategy of the Tang Empire.

The diplomatic strategy of the Tang Empire is: if you can fight, you can't force it!

Even if it is forced, it is directly drawn down, either agree or war.

As for bargaining, there is no such thing. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Datang Empire has never played a tug-of-war with that country for so many years. You really asked them to negotiate with the Portuguese one by one. Sorry, they still Really bad at this.

What they are best at is actually giving ultimatums!

Either promise or war, the choice is yours!

But then again, there are actually few countries that have formal diplomatic relations with the Tang Empire, um, especially those that have signed various agreements, regardless of whether it is an armistice agreement or a commercial agreement, in fact, there are not many, Spain counts. One, Portugal counts as one, and then, you have to count the Tang Dynasty, um, the Tatars.

As for the former Fusang, Annan, Burma, and Nanyang native countries, the rulers and ministers of the Tang Empire did not regard them as official countries, and naturally there was no diplomatic relationship.

As for other countries in Europe, let's not say whether they are countries or not. The problem is that they are too far away, and they have not had actual contact with the Tang Empire. .

As for the indigenous kingdoms in India, the Safi dynasty in West Asia, the Ottoman Empire and the native kingdoms in northeastern Africa, etc., although the empire is related to them, they are all based on the theme of the Tang Dynasty Western Trading Company, but at the national level above, there is no official official contact.

Of course, what's more important is that the Datang Empire is very pragmatic and adheres to the principle that if you can fight, you won't force it!

Why did the Tang Empire sign an armistice agreement with the Portuguese? It was because they had already fought and occupied the entire coast of the Indian Ocean. If they continued to fight, they could only enter the Atlantic Ocean. At present, the Tang Empire is expanding overseas. In the strategy, there is no plan to enter the Atlantic Ocean for the time being. This premise is an important reason why the Empire and the Portuguese signed an armistice agreement.

Spain is simpler. The Datang Empire is too far away from Spain, and it will not be able to fight for a while. In addition, Spain is also a global colonial country. The two sides do not have to avoid the intersection of trade. Therefore, a friendly trade agreement was signed.

The Tatars' Datang Jinguo, this is also an old friend who has fought with the Datang Empire for many years. Anyway, when they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight for a while, they will sign a truce first, and continue when they can fight. beat.

In addition to these three parties, other countries or tribes or forces, such as those indigenous kingdoms in Southeast Asia, and the indigenous kingdoms in India and Africa, the Datang Empire adheres to the principle of never saying anything if you can do it.

If the country is directly destroyed, the other party will even destroy the country, and they will establish a **** diplomatic relationship!

It can also be seen from this that if you want to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Tang Empire these days, it doesn’t matter whether it is good or bad, but you must have a certain strength. established diplomatic relations.

Portuguese and Spaniards, these two countries seem to be small, but they are also global colonial empires. There are many colonies, and the Tatars of the Tang Dynasty and Jin Kingdom, don’t look at them in East Asia and even in the Western Regions. The Tang Army was fighting everywhere, but others were also able to swept through Central Asia. The Safi Dynasty and the Ottoman Empire had been facing great enemies in recent years, for fear that the Tatars would kill them and destroy their country.

The current Tatars have already crossed the Volga River, and their soldiers have reached the Black Sea. They have all had actual contact with the Kingdom of Lithuania, and Russia to the north is even more like a formidable enemy.

You are welcome to say that the Tatars are now Chen Bing in Eastern Europe. If they continue to be killed by the Tatars like this, it will probably take a few years to kill them in Western Europe.

These three forces that can establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Empire are not weak countries. On the contrary, they are veritable powerful countries in the contemporary era. It is not ordinary for other countries to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Empire.

However, there are few countries with diplomatic relations, which means that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Datang Empire has been Qingshui Yamen since its inception, and its power is in more than a dozen departments of the empire. .

There is no way to do this. The Datang Empire does not only believe in the principle of "I am the boss with a big fist". The Datang Empire is also a traditional Chinese feudal monarchy.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and according to traditional theory, "there is no king in the world"

The land and oceans of the whole world belong to the Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It’s okay for the natives to steal a piece of land to survive, but they still want to establish diplomatic relations with our Tang Empire, so that we can recognize your country and rule. , **** off!

Even the Spanish and Portuguese can only call themselves kingdoms, saying that they are kings, and when envoys come to the Tang Dynasty, they must kneel and worship. .

The Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nothing to do on weekdays. This time, when the Portuguese came to ask for peace, the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs finally had a chance to express themselves. It took three days to let the Portuguese The envoys signed an armistice.

Then we took the train back to Jinling City with the agreement.

As for the Portuguese embassies, it is estimated that they felt aggrieved. After listening to the agreement, they ran away by boat.

When Li Xuan saw this armistice agreement, Li Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to some useless things, such as names, he only paid attention to the actual.

In this armistice agreement, there are only two actual terms, that is, the armistice between the two sides, and the Portuguese recognize the special rights and interests of the empire on the coast of the Indian Ocean.

The second is to open a number of ports for both sides to supply ships and trade.

For Datang, some ports along the coast of the Indian Ocean are mainly opened, mainly several ports in Africa, and some ports in India.

Mainly in South Africa City, West India City and Gehe Prefecture, that is to say, Portuguese merchant ships can only trade with Datang merchants in a number of commercial ports designated by Datang, such as South Africa City or West India City. .

Of course, the Portuguese ships can also continue to go deep into the Indian Ocean to other places, but they cannot enter the ports under the control of Datang for maintenance and supplies.

As for the South China Sea to the east of Malacca, it is now regarded as an inland sea by the Tang Dynasty, and the empire has completely blocked the Malacca Strait and the Sunda Strait, prohibiting any non-imperial ships from passing through.

The only exception was the Spaniards' round-the-world fleet, but they were just passing by.

Several commercial ports established in the mainland of the Tang Empire in the past have been completely cancelled, and foreign merchants are not allowed to live, live and do business.

The empire’s abolition of local commercial ports is not to say that it is a sea ban. In fact, this control is to protect the empire’s own maritime trade interests, because the empire only bans foreign merchant ships, but it does not ban its own merchant ships.

In this maritime trade, the market capacity is limited. For the same route, if there are Portuguese, Spanish, Indian Ocean, Ottomans, and Persians, then the profit will be diluted.

However, if only imperial merchants can run this route, merchants from other countries will be driven out, so the merchants of the empire will naturally be able to monopolize the profits.

It's called a monopoly!

Monopoly trade is the most profitable.

Why did the empire fight the Portuguese, not because they almost monopolized the Indian Ocean and the entire European route, making a lot of profits.

Now that the empire has put the Portuguese on the ground, it is natural to follow suit and want to completely control the maritime trade of the entire Indian Ocean.

Therefore, although the empire and the Portuguese have ceased the war and trade, the trade is limited to a few ports in Africa. As for the vast Indian Ocean, especially the Indian region, the Portuguese should not expect to be able to go back in this life.

Since the empire has opened up South Africa City, West India City, Motor City, and other colonial port cities in Africa for commercial use~www.wuxiaspot.com~, then the Portuguese naturally need to open up a few equivalent colonial cities, not many. , just a few colonial ports they controlled on the west coast of Africa.

But that was enough, and through these ports, the Empire's products were enough to cover Europe once again.

What's more, the relationship between the Empire and the Spaniards is not bad, and it is possible to travel to Europe through the ports of the Spaniards.

That is to say, by now, it is not really a big problem for the merchant ships of the empire to enter Europe.

The trade agreement between the Empire and the Portuguese, in fact, is to allow each other's ships to go to designated ports under their control for supplies and trade.

It doesn't involve anything too deep.
