Valley Emperor

The representatives of the two countries Spain and Portugal shook their heads when they heard this request. They are all old colonial countries. Maybe other countries don't know the concept of colony, but they are clear. Very.

They are all knowledgeable and visionary. The Datang Empire asked to send troops to protect it. It’s okay to say that your diplomat ordered Jin Gui. We can’t say anything.

But when they heard that the embassy area would become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, people shook their heads.

What are you kidding me, you guys come to us to set up a consulate, and then the place where the consulate is located will become your Datang territory?

Then why is the consulate we set up in Shanghai still the land of your Tang Dynasty, not the land of our Spanish/Portuguese?

Not to mention the country, the Spanish and Portuguese can't even send troops to the consulate to protect their diplomats. They can only let some soldiers disguise themselves as ordinary diplomats to protect them, and they are not allowed to carry weapons!

In this regard, Xu Zhenchuan said that the empire has its own national conditions and cannot be generalized!

Arrogant, arrogant!

This is the first impression of the Spanish and Portuguese on Xu Zhenchuan, a diplomat of the Tang Dynasty!

But although it is disgusting, the negotiation has to continue. Who made the Tang Dynasty strong, and both sides also know that Xu Zhenchuan will not only go to Europe alone, but will also bring a lot of military assistance to help European countries resist the Tatars human.

Xu Zhenchuan told them clearly that among the various materials that the mission set out this time, there were only 50,000 arquebuses and more than 5,000 sets of plate armor!

Although these ordnance materials all require money, except for the Tang Dynasty, you can't buy so much with money these days. Such good ordnance materials!

Even though Xu Zhenchuan was aggressive on some issues during the negotiation, the representatives of Spain and the Portuguese still gritted their teeth and endured it.

Send troops to protect them, but these soldiers usually can only stay in the embassy area, they cannot appear outside the embassy area, and the number cannot be large.

Then there is the issue of communication. In order to maintain normal communication between Datang's diplomats in Europe and South African ports, as well as personnel exchanges and material replenishment, Datang will regularly send ships to the coastal ports of the two countries.

To this end, Datang needs the above-mentioned two countries to open up ports in Africa and mainland Europe to supply Datang ships.

Whether it is Datang or Portugal and Spain, the waters they block are actually not the ships themselves, but the ships of the other side are not allowed to enter the port.

Fleet patrols against ships of other countries are only auxiliary means.

There is no port for supply, and ships cannot continue to sail on the sea for too long. For example, if the warships of the Tang Dynasty enter the Atlantic Ocean, there is no port for them to supply. With the supplies they carry, they may be able to operate for a month or even two or three. months, but if it was longer, I had to return, or I would starve to death.

The same is true of the Portuguese and Spanish ships. If they crossed the Cape of Good Hope and entered the Indian Ocean, there was no port for them to supply supplies. If they sailed all the way east, they would starve to death at sea.

Well, it's another thing to do the sneaky docking to resupply like the English, or even the port to resupply when pirates rob a ship directly.

The reason why Datang talked about this was to try to allow Datang's ships to enter each other's ports for supplies, and by the way, measure the local port hydrology and fort facilities to provide intelligence support for the future capture of these port cities.

If you can go aboveboard, why do you want to be sneaky?

The Spanish and Portuguese said that if they were just communication ships, they would not block anything, and could freely enter and leave the coastal ports controlled by the two countries and supply supplies.

As long as the number of warships is not too large and notified in advance, they can also enter the ports of the two countries for supplies.

As for merchant ships, especially those transporting large quantities of cargo, don't count on them!

Unless Datang also allows the merchant ships of the two countries to enter the Indian Ocean ports and local ports controlled by Datang, don't expect the two countries to open their ports to Datang's merchant ships. If both are open, then the South African port will not become a It is a transit point between the east and the west, because everyone's merchant ships can go to each other's ports for trade.

After Datang occupied the Indian Ocean waters that year, a series of maritime trade policies adopted were very special and had a huge impact.

One of the most critical points is that Datang has a tough attitude, refusing ships from European countries to enter the ports under Datang's control for supply and trade!

This is because Datang wants to monopolize all maritime trade along the entire South and Indian Ocean, and incidentally monopolizes all markets in India, West Asia and other regions around the Indian Ocean, so that the whole country is full of mouth water in this overseas development feast. Oil.

Only one South African port has been opened for trade!

Datang people can do the first year of the first year, the Spaniards and Portuguese can do the fifteenth, and they also do not allow the Tang people's ships to enter their ports on the Atlantic coast.

Now even the Spanish treasure fleet has changed its voyage. After the Spanish treasure fleet left Mexico, it went south along South America, then went directly to the South African port for trade, and then returned to Europe, and the global route became circumatlantic route.

Therefore, it is impossible for the merchant ships of Datang to enter the ports controlled by the two countries for supply and trade.

Of course, it's not just the Tang Dynasty. Ships from other countries, such as the English ships, don't expect to enter the ports of their two countries for trade or supplies, otherwise why would England be so focused on breaking the maritime hegemony of Spain and Portugal? Not for smooth maritime trade.

Many terms of the three parties have been discussed and discussed, and finally an agreement has been reached.

According to the agreements signed by Datang and Spain and Portugal respectively, it has been preliminarily decided that Datang will set up consulates in Madrid, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal.

At the same time, the Datang Embassy in Europe will be set up in Cadiz, Spain!

The place occupied by the above-mentioned consulates, Datang has no sovereignty, because the Portuguese and Spain refused to agree, and finally came up with a model that the sovereignty still belongs to the local country, but the management rights belong to the Datang.

Datang has free and independent administrative, judicial, garrisoning and other rights in the embassy area, and the local state shall not interfere in any way.

The number of troops stationed in the embassy area is initially stipulated to be 200 people in the embassy area in Lisbon, 200 in the embassy area in Madrid, and 500 people in the embassy area in Cadiz, and the total tonnage is not more than 3,000 tons. A warship with a tonnage not exceeding one thousand tons.

However, the Spanish and Portuguese also kept an eye on it, and the agreement stipulated that the local country has the power to expel the imperial diplomats at any time. Once expelled, the embassy area will be invalidated immediately.

They still have certain advantages. After all, although Datang has garrisoned soldiers, if a war really breaks out, they can expel these garrisoned soldiers as soon as possible.

Once the main problem is solved, the rest is not a big problem.

For example, the land for the embassy area, compared to Datang, which did not provide embassy land for the two countries in Shanghai at all, the Spanish and Portuguese were very generous, and directly turned a large piece of wasteland to the Datang Empire, you can do whatever you want.

Xu Zhenchuan is also satisfied with this!

As long as there is a place, as for the construction of the consulate, Datang can do it by itself. Others directly give a building for Datang's office use. Datang does not want it, because Datang has all consulates in the world. Bastion Building!

After the two sides reached an agreement, Xu Zhenchuan also officially took the diplomats and the non-commissioned officers of the embassy guards to Europe on the warships and transport ships specially dispatched by the navy.

Of course, they were not alone along the way, because the Spanish and Portuguese sent warships to accompany them!

In addition, there are a large number of transport ships full of military aid materials from Datang.

There are 50,000 arquebuses and 5,000 sets of plate armor, which is enough to raise the level of army equipment in Europe by another level.

However, after these weapons are shipped to Europe, they will only be used as military aid and sold at low prices to countries that resist the Tatars.

Except for Spain and Portugal, the other French, Germans, Austrians don't care who, as long as they fight the Tatars, they will sell them weapons.

Today's Tatars are still very fierce, and in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth have been defeated steadily.

After Russia lost Moscow, it fell back and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth also lost Kyiv.

Alta Khan has re-established a new regime in Kyiv in an upright manner, positioned Kyiv as the new capital, and renamed it the capital.

They also removed the word "Datang" in their country's name "Datang Jinguo", and called themselves "Jinguo" when they treated European countries. At the same time, Altan Khan also called himself the king of Jinguo.

However, it is worth noting that when they communicated with the Tang Dynasty in the east, they still called themselves the Golden Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty.

When Altan Khan gave Li Xuan a book, he called himself a 'chen'.

These things are actually just ceremonial things~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and more importantly, after years of westward migration, Altan Khan, who has finally stabilized, has finally started to turn his golden country into a real country.

How to change to become a real country?

You don’t need to ask, just copy Datang directly!

Altan Khan followed the example of the Tang Dynasty in military reform, and also followed the example of the Tang Dynasty in political reform, but this kind of reform is not a complete plagiarism. After all, the Tartars have their own special features, and it is impossible to copy them completely.

But on the whole, the new Jin Kingdom established by Altan Khan in the Ukrainian plain is no longer a pure nomadic nation, but a more typical feudal country.

It's just that although the Tatars have carried out many reforms, the innate aggressiveness of the nomads will not change.

Beginning this spring, the Tatar Golden State has continued to attack Poland and Lithuania!

Poland and Lithuania are simply unstoppable, and a complete collapse is a matter of time!

In order to resist the Tatars, starting this spring, some messy European nobles from kings, dukes, and marquis close to Eastern Europe have already formed a coalition army of 30,000 people to fight against the Tatars in Poland and Lithuania.

It is said that the strength of the Allied Forces in the Eastern Expedition has reached more than 30,000 people, equipped with tens of thousands of muskets and dozens of artillery pieces.

But can the 30,000-year-old Allied Forces defeat the Tatars?

Regarding this, Xu Zhenchuan, an expert on European issues of the Tang Empire, expressed in the official letter that he sent back to the mainland that he was not optimistic about the prospects of some European countries and regional organizations.

Literati, the words are more euphemistic!

To translate Xu Zhenchuan's letter in the words of the villagers is "I don't believe that the 30,000 scum that I put together can kill the Tartars!"
