Chapter 2198: Country People From the Ministry of Rites

Doc was waiting, and so were Abel and Henry.

They were waiting for the summons from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But since they arrived in the capital, the palace had been busy, and the Emperor was naturally in no mood to meet them.

So they continued to wait, and there was still no movement until the Ming Dynasty had one more prince.

"I think the Ming people are looking down on us."

Doc looked at Abel who was in a daze and said, "It won't take long to meet us, or even just a few words, but they still won't. Abel, your delegation has been here, but they still didn't give Frank face."

Abel shook his head and said, "They should have arrived in Frank by now, so what did they bring back?"

Wildfire instantly formed in Doc's eyes and gradually expanded.

"Are you saying that Frank has become an ally of the Ming Dynasty?"

Doc said firmly: "Is there an ally who doesn't meet? Don't dream, Abel, you are just wishful thinking."

Abel glanced at him and said reservedly: "Doc, there are some conflicts between the Ming Emperor and the ministers. Yes, didn't you notice? Many people are not happy about the birth of that child. This is not normal, so they have to clear up the internal conflicts first, and then they will receive us."

Doc sneered: "Allies should be treated preferentially, at least they should live in a separate place, not mixed with us."

Abel stretched, stood up and said: "Don't provoke Doc, I will wait for the summons of the Ming Emperor, and you, because of the bad precedent of Plantagenet, will only make the Ming Dynasty disgusted and vigilant, yes, so you should go find your own allies."

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter came from outside, Doc stood up and said: "That official is here."

Abel smiled and went out to greet him.

"My friend, my brother, look what I brought you!"

Chen Mo came with a jar, and he hugged Abel with one hand. After coming in, he saw that Doc was alert, so he frowned and said, "Don't you want to hug me? No, don't you want to be my brother?"

What kind of person is this!

Doc thought Chen Mo was a gangster, a ruffian who had never read books.

The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty actually used such a person to receive them. The taste in this is worth pondering!

It's like there is a countryman's taste in the palace of Plantagenet.

Doc sneered in his heart, then walked over slowly and gradually laughed.

Chen Mo put down the jar of wine, and then hugged Doc tightly.

Doc was exerting force, and he strangled Chen Mo's back.

The air in Chen Mo's lungs was squeezed out at once, and then he was stunned.

He remembered the tricks he had seen those children use when fighting before, so he hugged Doc hard, then lowered his head and pressed hard against Doc's chest.

Doc felt inexplicably unable to move and lost his balance.

He felt that Chen Mo would throw him to the ground in the next moment, so he hurriedly shouted: "Brother! Brother!"

The two looked like they were going to fight. The interpreter was already sweating profusely, and he quickly translated.

"Brother?"

Chen Mo was still holding Doc, and Doc nodded hurriedly.

If he was thrown to the ground by Chen Mo, then even if the Emperor Ming killed Chen Mo, Daming and Plantagenet would not be friends.

"Don't you think this is good?"

Chen Mo put Doc down, then patted his shoulder, and said honestly: "Brothers don't want to be brothers, but you have to hug each other, this is acting like a spoiled child!"

Doc's smile was stiff, but Abel laughed happily.

This is a warning to Plantagenet!

- Do you know that you can only be brothers with Daming if I have to beat you up?

Henry stood outside the door and watched this scene, with many thoughts turning in his mind, and finally turned into a desire for the sea.

He had been wandering around Beiping recently, and had gained a lot, but it was not the most needed gain.

If you want to understand the navigation strength of the Ming Dynasty,

you can only go to the dock or the shipyard.

Yes, he was eager to go to the shipyard of the Ming Dynasty, which was said to be in their other capital.

Can he go there?

Compared with the Plantagenets who only wanted to have full contact with the Ming Dynasty and the Franks who only wanted to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, Lisbon's road will be difficult.

Lisbon must find overseas colonies, otherwise it will be suppressed by the great powers of the West sooner or later, and then be annihilated and survive.

…

"Lisbon's territory is not large, and the land route is blocked. The domestic population is large, that is to say, they have little land and many people, and they are poor, so if they don't look for territory overseas, there will be problems."

"They are backed by a great power, which is also their original motherland, so they can't count on friends. Henry is the representative of this idea. More territory must be found for Lisbon, just as Xinghebo said before."

In the hall, Hong Bao was talking, and Fang Xing stood by and listened carefully.

The ministers thought this was ridiculous, just like the absurdity of Japan suddenly wanting to get rid of the influence of the Ming Dynasty and expand overseas.

"How do you know they are poor?"

Hu Yi often traveled outside in those years, so he was not familiar with Hong Bao and others. He felt that such things should be cautious, not speculated.

Hong Bao rested for a while and looked a little whiter.

He frowned and said, "Their people look disheveled and unkempt, and there are not many goods and food. Their king entertains guests, and those dishes... not much, really not much."

"And I witnessed several incidents of people rioting. Those people looked poor and they were shouting, and then they were knocked down and captured by the soldiers."

Fang Xing said: "This is the outbreak of domestic conflicts. It seems that their lives are not easy."

Fang Xing finally knew why Lisbon had to expand overseas, so he was relieved.

"The Plantagenets and the Franks have always been obsessed with land, so they gave Lisbon the opportunity to sail."

Hong Bao looked at Fang Xing in amazement and praised: "Although Xinghe Bo did not go, his words are very insightful."

Fang Xing smiled: Isn't the long-lasting war between the Plantagenets and the Franks just for land!

Zhu Zhanji said: "Xinghe Bo has been paying attention to the West. What I want to know is how strong the Rou Mi Ren are?"

Hong Bao said solemnly: "Your Majesty, when I was in Tianfang, I sent scouts ashore to inquire. The Rou Mi Ren and the Harel people have merged. The Rou Mi Ren are in the process of revival. Their warriors are even more fearless and the number is unknown."

Unless you go to the Rou Mi to station and investigate, it is difficult to find out their true strength.

Zhu Zhanji understood, so he said: "The land route is too far, and there are too many variables, so we still have to go by sea, Zheng He..."

Zheng He came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think the Tianfang people can be used. They travel around the countries, communicate what they have, and can also contact the upper class."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and agreed to this arrangement.

He looked at the ministers and said: "Since everyone knows the situation, then prepare to arrange for them to come to the audience!"
