With a tall white man limping on crutches, he was personally sent out of the gate of the festival hall by Chen Qianyi. The names of Solomon and Rifford were called by the Indian soldiers who were guarding outside the noble court.

Can you really meet the Governor? Lai Fu took a sharp breath and pinched his thigh again...... It really hurts! It's not a dream!

Follow the Indian soldiers, Selassie. Solomon and Rifle walked into a lobby with a completely Chinese layout. I saw a young man with a very gloomy face sitting behind the official desk in the hall, wearing a purple official uniform and a black gauze hat on his head. He was lying on the official case looking at some documents, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was very unhappy.

"The Great Ming Gentry, Baron of the Kingdom of England, Vice President of the Atlantic Chartered Chamber of Traders. Solomon paid a visit to His Excellency the Governor. ”

"Grass people Lai Fu knocks on the governor."

Selassie. Solomon and Lai Fu both gave Chen Chongguan a salute, and Lai Fu performed a prostration.

"Grass people? Knock? Chen Chongguan raised his head, glanced at Lai Fu who was kneeling below, and saw that he was a Han, so he smiled and said, "There is no one who can cross the sea to Europa, no one is a grass people, there is no need to kneel and worship, get up!" Come on, take a seat! ”

The Indian soldiers in the hall immediately brought a chair - only one, which Ferry could sit on. Solomon continued to stand. Racism is rife here in Europa!

Lai Fudu is a little unaccustomed to it...... He is a peasant at the bottom in Daming, and everyone can despise him. Now he has become a nobleman, protected by Europa's knights when he goes out, and served by Europa's servants and noble beauties when he returns home. You can still sit and talk to the Governor!

And Selassie. Solomon naturally couldn't cry or laugh, and Lai Fu, a "bum", was Han Chinese. Became a towering figure in Europa. Everyone thinks he's the master! And he, the nobleman of the British Kingdom, the gentry of the Ming Empire. Vice President of the Atlantic Chartered Trade Chamber of Commerce personally appointed by the Ming Emperor. Just because it was a little darker, when he arrived in Europa, he was treated as a "black slave", and no one looked down on him! Fortunately, I pulled a Lai Fu, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch here in Hong Kong, and I am afraid that I would not even be able to see the face of this Governor!

"What are you looking for?" Chen Chongguan asked. He asked, naturally, he was ready to help people, because in Selassie. Solomon sent a gilded business card with a gift slip listing some of the local products of the Kingdom of Mali in West Africa...... Gold and ivory are all things that Chen Chongguan likes.

Received other people's souvenirs. Of course, Chen Chongguan has to do something for others...... Uh, yes, he's a big corrupt official! In fact, the officials of the Ming Empire in Mingzhou, the Atlantic Ocean and Europa, without military skills, did not make money!

If it's not to make money, who is full and runs so far to be an official? There is also a treacherous storm on the road, and if you are not careful, you will take your life. So Chen Dexing, a demigod, has no way to manage this matter......

Selassie. Solomon gave a generous gift. Naturally, he was not polite, so he put together his plan to find an island off the coast of West Africa to establish a white slave farm and at the same time use it as a transshipment station for black slaves, and then proposed to open a slave market in Hong Kong.

"White Slave Farm?" Chen Chongguan glanced at the "black slave" standing under the hall. Shaking his head slightly, "Where are you going to get so many white slaves?" ”

There is no food here in Hong Kong now, and there are some white refugees who have to be sold into slavery. But the total number is still limited, and it may not be a problem to buy hundreds or thousands. If you have more, there will be no place to look for it. After all, there weren't many white refugees who could cross the ocean to England. And England, Ireland and Scotland were also not very populous at this time. There is still a lot of arable land that can be cultivated, and there are still some opportunities to become serfs.

"If you go back to the governor, of course this white slave will go to the continent of Europa to buy it." Selassie. Solomon replied with a smile on his face.

"Buying on the continent? Who to buy from? Chen Chongguan was puzzled. He spent some years in Europa and learned that the Christian Europa had only serfs and no slaves, and that slavery was not allowed by Christian doctrine. Even if there are some profiteers who quietly engage in human trafficking, after all, they will not be able to see the light of day, and the amount that can be bought will not be too much. Unless you ask ......

Selassie. Solomon smiled and replied, "Of course I bought it from the Mongols!" ”

"What?" Chen Chongguan's eyes widened. "Buy from the Mongols?"

Selassie. Solomon nodded and replied earnestly, "Governor, I think they sold it back to us!" ”

That's a good thing! Kublai Khan, the second son of God, would not care about selling some fourth-class euros, and he didn't know that it was fifth-class euros. Moreover, he did not have to arrest people on his own territory to sell, but he could also send troops to arrest people and sell them on the territory of the Christian countries of southern Europe. It's a lucrative deal!

"But that's a collaborator!" Chen Chongguan said in a deep voice.

Selassie. Solomon shook his head and smiled wryly: "How can this be a collaborator?" This is obviously a tired enemy and a weak enemy! ”

"Tired? Weak enemy? Chen Chongguan snorted, "What are you going to exchange for a white slave?" Silk, porcelain, and spices? Kublai Khan was not stupid! ”

"It doesn't hurt to exchange steel and saltpeter......" Selassie. Solomon said lightly, "Anyway, these things are in the hands of Kublai Khan, and they can't endanger the heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Isn't this a collaborator?" Chen Chongguan looked at Selassie coldly. Solomon, as if he was about to let the Indian soldiers take people.

Selassie. Solomon smacked his lips, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, the deputy governor of the Ming Atlantic and the governor of Hong Kong in front of him seemed to be an honest child. Why did Chen Shengren send him to Europa, a place where wicked people are everywhere?

"Your Excellency the Governor," Selassie. Solomon said word by word, "Now Mongolia and the Ming are not enough...... Moreover, the current continent of Europa is not something that the Ming or the Ming Dynasty's confidants can rule. ”

Chen Chongguan frowned deeply, this "black slave" really knows a little about military politics. In fact, at present, there are only more than 1,000 Han officers and soldiers in Europa, not counting the Atlantic Fleet. Including the Indians and Aztecs from Mingzhou, there were only six or seven thousand people, and the natives of Mingzhou were too susceptible to disease in Europa, so they could not be sent in large numbers.

As for sending troops to Europe through the small Western Ocean...... It's not impossible. But it doesn't happen overnight. There is still the territory of the Celestial Sect between the Little West and Europa, and those territories except Egypt have been ruined by the Mongols. If you add the Ming army and the Heavenly Sect army, there will be a bloody battle. I am afraid that without one or two decades, it will not be able to recover to the extent that it can support the Ming Expeditionary Force to fight in Europa.

And. The 108,000 Ming Expeditionary Force alone could not replace the millions of Mongol Eight Banner disciples, millions of Semu Banner slaves, and millions of Rus and Lithuanians to rule the Europa continent.

If the Ming Expeditionary Force came all the way to Europa and helped the Europeans defeat Kublai Khan, the result was likely to be France, Germany, Poland and other European countries to restore their original territories. The Ming Dynasty only obtained a few vassal states that were not worthy of the name.

Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty transferred the "Tiger of Mingzhou" to Mengqi, it did not give Mengqi many troops. The general idea is to let the Europa countries fight a war of attrition with the Mongols...... However, these things were considered by the big men of the Atlantic Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. How can Solomon be heard of as a "black slave"?

"Humph!" Chen Chongguan just snorted coldly and interrupted Selassie. Solomon's words. However, his face was much more relaxed. "You are from Macao, and you have seen the Governor of Mongolia? And what does the Atlantic Governor's Office say? ”

Selassie. Solomon replied, "The Governor of Mongolia is busy with military affairs, and he is not in Macau, so he has not seen it." The governor of the Atlantic Governor's Office in Macau asked Governor Chan for instructions in Hong Kong. ”

It turned out that Selassie. When Solomon arrived in Macao, he was leading his troops to the kingdoms of Navarre and Aragon. He waited in Macau for more than a month, and he did not hear of the easing of the situation on the front line of the Pyrenees. And the governor of the governor's palace was only an official of the kind of secretary general in later generations. Solomon's heavy gift did not dare to make decisions for Montene. So he wrote a letter recommending Selassie. Solomon came to Hong Kong to see Chen Chongguan.

"Governor. This is a letter from the Governor of Macau's Governor's Palace. "Selassie. Then Solomon took out another letter and handed it with both hands. His own Indian soldiers took the letter and handed it to Chen Chongguan.

Chen Chongguan unfolded the letter and looked at it, and the content of the letter was, of course, in favor of Selassie. Solomon's—not just Selassie. Solomon gave the money. It is also because the Ming Dynasty issued an order requiring the Atlantic Governor's Office to cooperate with the activities of the Atlantic Chartered Traders to transport white female slaves and black male slaves to Mingzhou.

Selassie. Solomon slowly continued: "If you want to fulfill the instructions of the imperial court, you must trade with the Mongols to transport more than tens of thousands of white female slaves to Mingzhou...... Where else to buy from? Christian nations don't sell their people to us. Only the Mongols are willing to sell. The Mongols, on the other hand, were constantly at war with the Christian countries in the south in order to obtain white slaves. Such. Won't the Mongols and the Christian nations lose both? This is certainly a cost-effective plan for our Ming Dynasty, and it will be even more beneficial to the prosperity of Hong Kong under the Governor's rule. Because Hong Kong can become a center of trade with Western Europe under Mongol rule......"

On the choice of centers for the slave trade. Selassie. Solomon also put a lot of thought into it. Macau was obviously not very suitable, as it was too far from the Mongol territory and too close to the center of Christianity. The open sale of Christian white slaves there is feared that it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Hong Kong, on the other hand, is much more suitable, not only very close to the Mongols, but also across the English Channel. Moreover, England was far enough from Rome and isolated by the Mongols, although it could be connected by land and sea, but it was not very convenient after all. The influence of the Christian Church in England has been greatly reduced.

In addition, the Mongols did not have a navy at all, and the sea control of the English Channel was completely in the hands of the Ming Atlantic Fleet. As a result, the Mongols could not threaten the security of the Kingdom of England at all, and the royal family and merchants of England were naturally happy to profit from the slave trade in Hong Kong...... By the way, in this increasingly prosperous Hong Kong, there are actually few Han merchants, most of the merchants are English, and many of them are invested by the English royal family and nobles!

After reading the letter from the governor of the Atlantic Governor's Mansion, Chen Chongguan nodded, he knew how big the scale of things was to do things. As long as the governor-general supported it, it was unlikely that the Monte side would oppose the slave trade.

Moreover, if this is to happen, it will definitely be good for oneself -- if Hong Kong really becomes the center of the slave trade, will there be no oil and water as the governor of Hong Kong?

"Okay, since the governor's mansion has agreed, then the official will not embarrass you."

Chen Chongguan said lightly, "However, this official is only the deputy governor of the Atlantic, and he cannot replace the governor of Mongolia." ”

Selassie. Solomon was relieved to hear this. Chen Chongguan is the key! Because the slave trading center is Hong Kong, not Macau. Although the governor of the Atlantic nominally oversaw the entire Atlantic (excluding the coast and archipelagos of Mingzhou), the governors of each region had great authority because of the size of the jurisdiction. In particular, the Governor of Hong Kong, who is also the Deputy Governor, can be said to have a lot of words on Nordic and North Atlantic affairs. As long as he supports it, covering up that side is just a big gift......

However, Chen Chongguan and Meng Qi both nodded, and the matter was only half done. And half, it depends on the face of the Mongols. I have to ask Chen Chongguan to help with this.

"Contact with the Mongolians......" Chen Chongguan frowned slightly, there are really channels for contact!

However, it was not the Atlantic Governorate that communicated directly with the Mongols, but through Prince Edward of England. Now, Prince Edward and the other Europa monarchs have established contact with the Mongols in order to ransom the nobles they captured on the battlefield - this is the old rule of Europa, the Mongols did not know when they first came, they caught the nobles and slaughtered them, and now they have learned to behave, they are all treasures that can be exchanged for money!

And the high-ranking Mongolian officials who were responsible for secretly contacting the countries of Europa and the Atlantic Governor's Office of the Ming Dynasty were the Great Mongolian Judges, the Red Banner Commander, and Liu Xiaoyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

He received a dispatch from Kublai Khan to make peace with the Ming Dynasty and England from Schönbrunn Palace, and went straight to the residence of his uncle Liu Bingzhong. Liu Bingzhong's mission to Daming ended in failure, and he fell ill on the way back, and he recuperated at home these days. It seems that he has also lost the favor of the Great Khan, but on the issue of Ming and Mongolian negotiations, Liu Bingzhong is still a unique authority. Moreover, after all, Liu Bingzhong has followed Kublai Khan for many years, and he knows his master's mind no better.

Can the negotiations between the Great Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty be successful? Liu Bingzhong probably knows better than anyone else. (To be continued.) )
