Chapter 823 Negotiation

Conference Square, Guangdong Maritime Mansion Office.

Lin Weiran came to Haojing again, but not as the Guangdong Maritime Commander, nor as the Guangzhou Prefect, but as the Guangdong Deputy Envoy of the Seaway.

Although the deputy envoy of Guangdong's submission of the sea route is only a fourth-rank official, his diplomatic power is incomparable to other officials. For example, Wang Bai, the former Wang Bai, was the one who made great efforts to urge the Portuguese to settle in Haojing and was fully responsible.

Diplomatic matters in Guangdong.

Lin Qingran led the Guangdong Maritime Warehouse to Chen Jing and Xiangshan County officials to sit in the main hall for tea, waiting for the arrival of the Portuguese, and a brand new negotiation is about to begin.

Jiang Ronghua, who had already begun to erect, strode in from outside and nodded slightly at Lin Qingran. This negotiation was matched by him.

Speaking of which, after the fleet led by Jiang Ronghua had an accident, he accidentally hit Malacca and then followed the Portuguese merchant ship to Goa City in India.

There, Jiang Ronghua came into contact with the technology and culture of the Portuguese, and even learned fluent Portuguese, and gained a deep understanding of Western society.

What is amazing is that Jiang Ronghua, who is elegant in behavior, was actually attracted by a beautiful Portuguese beauty, and thus became the brother-in-law of the Governor of the Portuguese Indian colony.

This time, I returned from India not only to return to my hometown, but also to shoulder a sacred mission, and to restore the relationship between the Portuguese government and the Ming government.

Although the Ming Dynasty was very tolerant of Portuguese merchants and missionaries, it was not friendly to the Portuguese official fleet and was not allowed to enter the port of Ming Dynasty to replenish food or purchase goods. Of course, the "debtor-in-law" Portuguese official fleet did not dare to enter.

Leizhou Port or Haojing Wharf was afraid of being swallowed by the Ming army, so both sides were always in a semi-hostile state.

In the extremely long route from Malacca to Japan, the loss of the most ideal supply station, Haojing, caused them to bear greater risks in their route to Japan.

After the disappearance of the IAA black ship, the Portuguese official wanted to give up the Japanese route and transfer it to Japan for ordinary Portuguese caravans for trade, but this would undoubtedly thin their profits.

The Governor of the Portuguese Indian colony was a visionary man who knew that he could not conquer this powerful Eastern empire by force. The church especially disagreed with him and instead sought a way of peaceful negotiation.

Whether it was for the needs of Japanese routes or the trade needs of Ming commodities, he needed to "reconstruct" with the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Ronghua's appearance gave him hope.

After learning that Lin Junran has become the highest coastal defense promotion in Guangdong, and also learning that Jiang Ronghua and Lin Junran's relationship have been vigorously promoted this full friendly atmosphere of negotiations.

Jiang Ronghua walked in for a moment, and the Portuguese negotiating mission behind him also appeared.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see!"

The patrol sent Galenell to lead several Portuguese people in the living room. This ambitious man who once wanted to establish a local regime in Haojing, has become much thinner since he expelled Lin Qiran and his eyes are complicated.

Looking at Lin Weiran and saluted.

The enemies who were once facing each other in life and death are now friendly and are performing "there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests."

"Mr. Galenel, I know your purpose! As long as you abide by the legal system of the Ming Dynasty and do not try to infer the land of our Ming Dynasty, we can reach friendly trade with your Kingdom of Portugal!" Lin Weiran was still sitting in his seat

He continued to taste tea and said frankly.

The reason why he dared to let the Portuguese fleet come to Haojing was not because Lin Junran had great confidence in the Ming Dynasty's navy. The most important thing was that Xiangshan New City had already fallen to Haojing.

Not to mention that Portugal is annexed by Spain in the near future, even if the Spanish fleet arrives, as long as he dares to seize the Mojing, the Ming court will inevitably spit out anger on the Spanish.

Under the highest political instructions of "not being in harmony, not being indemnified, not being cedeed, not being tributed, the emperor guards the country's borders, and the king dies in the country", no officials will sit idly by the loss of a city, and they will inevitably gather large troops to expel the Spaniards.

Galenel's brow frowned slightly and said with concerns: "How to ensure the safety of our fleet? What if you attack my fleet?"

"Godfather Gasper, have I ever been jealous of a fleet full of wealth? Have I ever plundered wealth from which fleet you have? When have I ever done something to go against my word?" Lin Weiran turned his head and looked at him.

Godfather Gaspar, who was beside him, asked seriously.

Gaspar's face looked bitter. Although Lord Lin had forced them to kneel down and broke them on the funds of Xiangshan New City, he was indeed a very honest person.

For his own interests, he naturally hoped that the negotiation would go smoothly, but did not answer Galenell, but said respectfully to the priest standing behind Gaspar: "Prince Carlo, this

Lord Wei Lin has indeed never done anything fraudulent. Everyone here follows the law and is a very law-abiding official."

"Galenell, since Godfather Gaspar has said so, you can put this worry back into your stomach!" Carlo was a short and fat man, but his expression was full of arrogant.

It is worth mentioning that although the highest commander of the Portuguese Indian colony was the governor, it also belonged to the Portuguese resident in name. However, in Goa, it belonged to the bishop and the Jesuits. In fact, the church had more power.

Some.

This time, the priest Carlo, who had great prestige in the Jesus Church, also came, but was actually one of the decision-makers in the negotiation, or the final decision-maker.

"Mr. Galenell, this is the Ming Dynasty's port to the outside world! If we trade and trade, we can allow you to arm your fleet to come to trade, it will be a great concession for me!" Lin Shiran looked arrogant and turned his head to look at him.

He said to Jiang Ronghua next to him: "If it weren't for Brother Jiang's face, I wouldn't have made this promise, and I wouldn't have allowed you to trade here!"

Jiang Ronghua smiled bitterly. If he didn't know Lin Junran's plan, he would be moved to tears by his words. If he talked about planning, no one hundred Galenel would be the opponent of this man.

Facing both pressures, Galenel knew that he could not keep this problem away, so he spoke again: "For sincerity, our Kingdom of Portugal will open Malacca and allow your ordinary caravans to come and engage in commercial trade,
