It was also the morning of the sixth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, the time had passed, and noon was approaching, Emperor Chongzhen took several important ministers in the court, and finished meeting the envoys from various Mongolian tribes, and continued to meet with foreign envoys. Ｘ

The atmosphere of the New Year is still very strong, and the weather is also very cold, under such circumstances, Emperor Chongzhen did not want to work so hard to continue to deal with official affairs with these old ministers.

It's just that there are still the Dutch and Portuguese who came from afar to meet, and Emperor Chongzhen has no way to return to the harem to accompany the concubines to eat, drink and have fun.

And the Dutchman Biedno and the Portuguese Perez, who have been coming to Daming Jingshi for many days, have also been waiting very anxiously.

This time, Bidno, who came from Batavia, also brought the missionary Vanderlie and the chief missionary of the Jesuits, Condenius, who was now the chief missionary of the Jesuits in Beijing, to the court to communicate and plead.

And the Portuguese Perez also found a Portuguese businessman who has a good cooperative relationship with the Ming royal family, Gotinho, to ask for help.

Where there are people, there are people, and of course the same is true at the gate of the Imperial Court.

What's more, the Dutchman Biedno and the Portuguese Perez came with their entourage, not to make trouble or anything, they both had serious things to discuss.

Biedno represented the Batavia headquarters of the Dutch East India Company, while Perez represented the Portuguese in the Viceroyalty of Manraka.

In this era, the relationship between the Dutch and the Portuguese was still more complicated.

On the one hand, in Europe, they were allies in the rebellion against Spanish hegemony and against Spanish aggression.

Needless to say, Portugal was robbed of the Portuguese throne by the Spanish king from the Habsburg royal family a few decades ago, and became the domain of the Spanish king, and then fought a war of independence for decades, and has not been fully independent until now.

The Dutch were similar, they were also part of the Kingdom of Spain, and after gaining independence through war, they were occupied by the powerful Spain at that time, and such wars of independence were intermittent until this time in the third year of Chongzhen.

Today, in Europe, especially in the face of Spanish hegemony, the Portuguese and the Dutch were natural allies.

On the other hand, they are rivals in Southeast Asia for regional dominance and colonies.

The Portuguese marched into the sea very early, comparable to the rise of the Spaniards, and belonged to one of the first Western colonial powers to enter Southeast Asia, open up colonies in Southeast Asia, and engage in the spice trade.

The Dutch, on the other hand, were the rising stars of the Western colonial powers.

By the time of the reign of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Dutch in Southeast Asia had overwhelmingly surpassed that of Portugal.

Many of the colonies and trading posts that had belonged to Portugal were looted by the Dutch.

Portugal was left with only Manrakat at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, Goa on the west coast of India, and a few strongholds on the eastern coast of India and the western coast of Burma.

If there is more, it is Haojingao in Xiangshan County, Guangdong, Daming.

Today, the largest remaining Portuguese colony in Southeast Asia, Manraka, the seat of the Portuguese Viceroyalty of the East, has also become a target of the Dutch.

In the original history, ten years later, that is, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Portuguese of Manraka would be driven out by the Dutch, and Manlaga would officially fall into the hands of the Dutch.

However, at this time in the third year of Chongzhen, Manraka was still the seat of the Portuguese satrapy in Southeast Asia, and although there were not many Portuguese living there, it firmly occupied this choke point from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

As the Portuguese envoy to the Governor's Palace in Manchuria, Perez was ordered to go north to the Ming Jingshi, not because he wanted to come, but because he had to come.

According to the rules of the Imperial Court from close to sparse and from near to far, among the two envoys from foreign countries, the Portuguese Peres was arranged to be the first to enter the meeting.

Perez, who had served in the East for a long time and was familiar with the rules of the Ming Dynasty, was led by Jiang Yueguang into the imperial study of the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and immediately knelt down on the mountain to shout long live, and performed the etiquette designated by the Li Fan Yuan.

After the ceremony, Perez said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of China! I am an emissary from the Governor's House of the Governor of Pulido Kaman, and I have come to see His Majesty the Emperor at the behest of His Excellency Andersljungstedt, the Governor of Pulido Gaman! ”

Pridoga is Portugal, which is the earliest Chinese translation of Portugal as a country name.

Looking at this black curly hair, deep eye sockets, tall and thin man who could speak fluent Chinese, Emperor Chongzhen quickly motioned for him to get up and speak, and then said to him:

"There is no official exchange between the Ming Dynasty and Portugal for the time being, and your governor sent you to meet Yu Zhen, I don't know what I have to discuss?"

Because Portugal's relationship with the Dutch in Southeast Asia was complicated and delicate, and this time the Ming Jingshi went north with the Dutch, so Perez and his entourage were secretive about the purpose of this trip and refused to have a deep discussion with Shen Tingyang and others.

At this time, there were no Dutch people around, and he saw the main person he was going to see on this trip, and Perez naturally had no scruples, so he said:

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! The contemptible people have been ordered to come on behalf of His Excellency the Governor of Manchu Rakal to discuss with your country matters of peaceful trade between the two countries!

"First, I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree to the establishment of merchant houses in the capital of your country and Guangzhou.

"Second, please ask His Majesty the Great Emperor to give an order to restrain the troops of the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion of your country and withdraw them from northern Burma."

As soon as Perez said this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately understood the hidden meaning, and his face, which was still smiling, instantly became cold, and he looked at Perez expressionlessly and said:

"I am also happy to see the peaceful trade between the two countries.

"However, the peaceful trade between the two countries depends on mutual reciprocity, and if you want to discuss trade affairs in the Governor's Palace of the Portuguese State in Manraka, you should go to my Ming Liangguang Governor's Palace.

"If it involves Portugal and the Ming Dynasty, you need your Excellency the Governor to convey to the King of Portugal and ask him to send another envoy here! I just want to talk to you King of Portugal about Ho Kung O! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words were disdainful, and Perez also heard it.

However, the issue of trade is not the main problem he came this time, if Daming agrees, of course, it is the best, and if he does not agree, it will be forgotten.

As for Hao Jing Ao, although it is very important to the Portuguese, it is not the main problem that he wants to solve when he comes to Daming Jingshi this time.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, he heard Perez, the Portuguese envoy in the Governor's Palace in Malacca, say again:

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor! In the case of trade between you and us, and in the case of Ho King O, if His Majesty wishes to send a mission from the Mainland, the Emperor may reply to His Excellency the Governor of Ronstead, forward His Majesty's request to the country, and ask him to send an envoy to the King!

"However, all this depends on the lasting maintenance of the present peaceful relations between our two countries! According to the report of the Governor's Office of Salian, the troops under the command of the Governor's Office of Yunnan and Guizhou of your country have crossed the border into Burma on a large scale since October, which has seriously infringed on our interests in Myanmar and endangered the peaceful relations between your country and Pulidoga.

"If this move is the will of His Majesty the Emperor's court, then please retract this will! Because the Kingdom of Burma is under the protection of our Pulidoga, the merchants of Pulidoga have an indisputable status and interests in Burma!

"If this is not an order of His Majesty the Emperor's court, but a private act of the local army in the southwestern border region of your country, and I and His Excellency Longstead are convinced that it will be so, then please order that their transgression be stopped as soon as possible, and punish them!"

Perez's words made Li Guoyi, Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian and others both confused and angry.

Although the country of Myanmar has not been to Beijing for many years to pay tribute, in the eyes of many ministers of the Ming court, it is still a vassal state in the Ming dynasty.

When did this vassal state become the sphere of influence of Portugal?!

Of course, this also contains the loneliness of the political elite of the Ming Dynasty in this era.

Although Portugal suffered a lot of losses when it violated the border of the Ming Dynasty, and finally relied on sneaky pit abduction and abduction to lease the place of Haojingao, but in the face of other small countries in Southeast Asia,
