Chapter 994: Envoy Visit
***
The morning sun is rising, and the morning light is ten thousand ways, reflecting the splendid Daqin Palace.
In the ups and downs of the music, the Great Qin Emperor Imperial Zichen Hall accepted the worship of the envoys of the Six Kingdoms.
The Son of Heaven wears a crown of twelve crowns, a black golden dragon gown, with long sleeves, solemn and solemn, but it also gives people a sense of heroism.
The envoys of Otessa, Chhattisgar, Calkende, and Simenon were led by the ceremonial officials, and they also walked into the temple to pay respects.
The envoys of the four countries came to see the Son of Heaven as envoys of vassal states, so they were naturally sincerely afraid, and they bowed three times and bowed nine times.
And represented by the envoy of the Otesa country, Adir, knelt down and read the king's table: "Your Majesty xià Yingtian treasure order, unify all directions." The minister was far away in India, and he was blessed with a knighthood by the grace of heaven. Since the rain in the country is smooth, the year is abundant, the people have no disasters, between the mountains and rivers, the rarities are exposed, the grass, trees, birds and beasts, also all the breeding. The elders in the country said that it was caused by the fall of the Holy Son of Heaven. The minister is willing to see the table of the sun, lose less sincerity, not afraid of danger, bow to the family members and accompany the ministers, and thank you. ”
After listening to this, the Great Qin civil and military officials in the hall couldn't help laughing one by one, and endured so hard, Otessa's entry table shouldn't be plagiarized, why did it become like this?
Some officials couldn't help it, so they turned their faces away and laughed secretly.
If you want to say, this seal is also so-so, the state of Diyi, and the rhetoric is dry, but don't make a mistake about this format!
Adil read this table, it is clearly to thank the Son of Heaven for canonization, okay, now you are here to ask for canonization, the Son of Heaven has not been officially canonized, what do you say, "The rain in the country is smooth, and the years are abundant", wouldn't you be smiling and generous?
Qin Mu couldn't help but smile, coughed lightly twice before he spoke out to comfort him, and ordered someone to display the special products offered by the four countries in the palace for the appreciation of hundreds of officials.
Then the decree is declared. He gave Otesa, Chetisgar, Calkende, and the princes of the four kingdoms of Ximeng, and at the same time gave the king's seal, crown belt, raiding clothes, the honor guard of the county king, crossing, silverware, umbrella fans, pinning gold saddle horses, gold weaving Wenqi, saros, and silk clothes.
In this way, after the ceremony was completed, Daqin officially accepted the four vassal states of Otessa, Chetisgar, Calkende, and Ximeng, and established the master-slave relationship through the ceremony of canonization.
Subsequently, Qin Muxuan received envoys from Britain and Portugal.
Douglas and Caro were soon brought to the Jinluan Palace, and there was no Western envoy who was exempt from kneeling in the Jinluan Hall of the mighty Great Qin. Now in this world, it is Daqin who has the final say. You don't have to come to the audience, you have to come according to the etiquette of Daqin.
These days, Douglas and Caro have been deeply shocked by Daqin's advanced technology, brilliant culture, powerful military, complete system, affluent life, prosperous industry and commerce, and unparalleled creative power. And sincerely convinced.
At this moment, they knelt down on the Jinluan Palace, and bowed respectfully according to the etiquette of Daqin. Then he held the national letter high above the top and presented it to the Great Qin Emperor.
Qin Mu asked people to take their credentials, and for the Portuguese envoy Carlo, Qin Mu did not give color. Said lightly: "At the beginning, I Daqin had the intention of making peace with Portugal with sincerity, and agreed that Portugal only needed to withdraw from Macao. You are allowed to set up embassies and merchant houses in Ningbo to trade with Daqin.
I had good intentions, but I didn't think that Portugal would ignore it, and I actually participated in the combined fleet of the Dutch and brazenly invaded our Great Qin, which is simply unreasonable. ”
Carlo's heart suddenly rose to his throat, when the officials of the Great Qin Ministry of Foreign Affairs received them, they were quite good, how could they immediately change as soon as they arrived at this Jinluan Palace.
He hurriedly bowed and said: "Honorable Emperor of Great Qin, joining the Dutch Combined Fleet is not the meaning of His Majesty of our country, it is just the unauthorized assertion of the Governor of Macao, Wahiji has been removed from his post by His Majesty of our country and demoted to a sinner, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin will not count the villain."
Carlo simply put all the blame on the former governor of Macau, Vahiki, but in the case at that time, when Wahiki decided to join the combined fleet to resist Daqin, it was indeed impossible to send someone back to China to ask for instructions first, and it was too late to have time;
In other words, Waski was indeed advocating it on his own.
Qin Mu snorted coldly: "After all, Vasky is a serious Portuguese official, his every move represents Portugal, how can Portugal itself say that it is not responsible?" However, it is the first time that Nian'er has made a mistake, and I will not bother with Portugal this time, but if there is a next time, you will definitely see my Great Qin's fleet appear outside the harbor of Lisbon. ”
Now is different from the past, seeing the strength of Daqin, and the fate of the Dutch is in front of them, even the Netherlands, known as the coachman of the sea, has been forced to withdraw from the Far East, and even the interests in India are not guaranteed, if Portugal is the enemy of Daqin again, I am afraid that it is really only waiting for Daqin's warships to hit Lisbon.
Carlo can only lower his profile, accept criticism, reflect seriously, and repeatedly reassure. In order to re-establish good relations with Great Qin, to protect Portuguese interests in India, and to continue to trade with Great Qin.
Seeing what happened to Caro, the British envoy Douglas was inevitably a little uneasy, after all, the British East India Company also had ships involved in the Combined Fleet, and they were captured, and they couldn't rely on it.
Qin Mu turned his head to look at him and asked loudly, "Douglas, are you here on behalf of the King of England, or are you sending me Daqin on behalf of Cromwell?" ”
"Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Qin, I am ordered by the Commonwealth Parliament of England to come to envoy Great Qin."
From the last captive British population, Great Qin learned a lot about the current situation in England, and just the year before, King Charles I of England was sent to the guillotine.
Charles I was King of England, Scotland and Ireland. During his reign, England was characterized by chaotic religious conflicts.
The subjects were generally distrustful of their king's faith, and on the one hand, his mistakes succeeded in helping the Protestant forces during the Thirty Years' War, but on the other hand, he married a Roman Catholic princess. Charles I also reused controversial ecclesiastical figures of the time. Many of his subjects felt that this made the Church of England too close to the Roman Catholic Church.
After that, Charles I also tried to force Scotland into the Reformation, which led to the Bishops' Wars. This qiē strengthened the Parliaments of England and Scotland, which ultimately contributed to the demise of Charles I.
In the last years of Charles I, an English Civil War broke out between him and Parliament. At the same time, he formulated a series of religious policies, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Calvinists, represented by the Puritans.
After the defeat of Charles I in the First English Civil War (1642-1645), Parliament wanted him to accept a constitutional monarchy. However, Charles I was not reconciled, and he allied with Scotland and fled to the Isle of Wight, thus completely angering Parliament and leading to the Second English Civil War (1648-1649).
Charles I was again defeated, after which he was arrested, tried, convicted, and put to death for treason.
The monarchy collapsed and England became a republic called the Commonwealth of England.
During this period, the power of the English style was in the hands of the Federal Parliament, which in turn was basically in the hands of Cromwell, and after the death of Charles I, his son Charles II was forced into exile, which is the general situation in Britain today.
Douglas was actually assigned by Cromwell to come as an envoy to Daqin.
Man's lust for power was never satisfied, and Cromwell sent Charles I to the beheading and founded the Federal Republic of England. But in fact, Cromwell is trying to control the Bundestag, strengthen the centralization of power, and try to pinch the entire Commonwealth of England into his own hands.
In this case, Cromwell needed to constantly increase his personal prestige, needed trade in the Far East, and could not be too frustrated. Therefore, he sent Douglas to visit, in fact, he had a request for Daqin, at least at this time, he must avoid becoming an enemy of Daqin.
Douglas glanced at the Great Qin Emperor on the Danqi carefully, he obviously knew the situation in Britain very well, so would he not think that the Federal Parliament was "guilty of rebellion"? If he really thinks so, it won't be good.
