    Emperor Tianqi looked at Riel with a smile and nodded slowly!  Emperor Tianqi had long expected that he would agree to this condition, which was not a condition.  However, in the view of Emperor Tianqi, this is a very important condition.  After determining the general direction, Emperor Tianqi sent the Portuguese away.  Today is destined not to be a day to rest, because the next person Emperor Tianqi wants to meet is the Spaniards.  Originally, Emperor Tianqi was still struggling with how to join the dispute in the Taiwan Strait. After all, the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong were making trouble at sea. If the Ming Dynasty directly sent troops, it would probably prompt these two groups to unite.  But now Emperor Tianqi feels that he has an opportunity. It is definitely a good idea to put the Spaniards in and watch the fire from the other side.  "Your Majesty the Emperor, Farrar is here to greet you!" The Spanish envoy is a middle-aged man in his forties. His beard covers half of his face. He exudes shrewdness and is not easy to get along with at first glance.  Role.  "There is no need to be polite to the special envoy. You have traveled thousands of miles to come to Ming Dynasty. You have worked hard all the way!" Emperor Tianqi knew in his heart that these people came from Manila, but he still said politely.  Farrar is in Manila, but he doesn¡¯t know much about the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, if the Armada had not been defeated by the despicable pirates, the Ming Dynasty would have been a Spanish colony.  After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, I couldn't help but feel a little contempt for Emperor Tianqi.  If it weren't for the fact that the Spaniards had to face the Dutch and Zheng Zhilong this time, he would never have come to the Ming Dynasty.  Emperor Apocalypse looked at Farrar with a smile, what a good victim he was!  In real history.  Spain returned in defeat this time and completely withdrew from the struggle for power from the Taiwan Strait to Southeast Asia.  The Dutch were victorious.  But they were not happy for long, because a war broke out between Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch.  In this war, the Dutch fleet across the sea was completely defeated by Zheng Zhilong.  Since then, Zheng Zhilong has completely become the overlord of the Taiwan Strait. No matter whether it is Spanish or Dutch, doing business here has to pay protection fees to Zheng Zhilong!  Until Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was later destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.  The Dutch once again occupied Taiwan.  It was only after this that Zheng Zhilong¡¯s son Zheng Chenggong once again taught the Dutch a lesson. This was the famous Zheng Chenggong in history who regained Taiwan. Zheng Chenggong was also called a national hero.  But Emperor Tianqi will not sit back and watch things continue to develop like this. After all, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong are different.  Zheng Zhilong was an armed maritime merchant through and through. He had plundered the coast of the Ming Dynasty many times and did many things that only Japanese pirates did.  Later, he was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty.  Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was over, they surrendered directly to the Qing Dynasty.  The Qing army invaded the south of the Yangtze River. Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the Tagawa family committed suicide in the rebellion. Zheng Chenggong led his father's old troops to resist the Qing Dynasty on the southeast coast and became one of the main military forces in the late Southern Ming Dynasty. They once raided and surrounded Nanjing by sea).  However, they were eventually repelled by the Qing army, and they could only rely on their superiority in naval warfare to hold on to Xiamen and Kinmen, the islands of Quanzhou Prefecture.  In 1661, he led his army across the Taiwan Strait. The following year, he defeated the Dutch East India Company's garrison in Danyuan, Taiwan (now Tainan City, Taiwan) and regained Taiwan.  Emperor Tianqi had a very favorable impression of Zheng Chenggong.  Whether it is loyalty to the Ming Dynasty or national integrity.  They are all outstanding people of their generation.  But Zheng Chenggong is still a child now, and it is impossible for Emperor Tianqi to sit back and watch the war in the Taiwan Strait.  Whether it is from the perspective of opening up the sea or out of personal feelings, Taiwan must be taken back!  Emperor Tianqi will never hesitate at this point, now is the opportunity!  Although the situation in the Taiwan Strait is complicated, there are traces to be found!  The Spaniards and Dutch would soon come to blows, and this was the best time for Ming to intervene.  Let them fight until both are injured. When Emperor Tianqi thought of this, the smile on his face became even brighter.  Farrar naturally didn¡¯t know what Emperor Tianqi was thinking. Seeing Emperor Tianqi sitting there with a silly smile, which seemed to him to be a silly smile, he couldn¡¯t help but frown.  He glanced at Emperor Tianqi slightly unhappily and said directly: "Your Majesty, we hope that His Majesty can hand over the Portuguese in Macau to us. They are all prisoners who escaped from the country. We hope to get help from His Majesty the Emperor.  " Emperor Apocalypse didn't care much about Farrar's attitude. The more proud the Spaniards are, the better.  After listening to Farrar's request, Emperor Tianqi immediately shook his head and said: "Special envoy, this is wrong. I will not hand them over to you. They live on the land of the Ming Dynasty and are protected by the Ming Empire. I  I won't hand them over to you." "Faral was stunned. He originally thought that this was a fool emperor, and he would definitely agree if he said it.  Farrar never expected that since Emperor Tianqi refused so directly, there was no hesitation at all.  After being stunned for a moment, he became angry and said: "Your Majesty, these people are our prisoners in Spain."?By protecting them, do you want to become an enemy of Spain?  "Looking at Farrar with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said nothing because someone had already stood up! "Become a barbarian and talk nonsense!  The emperor's words are imperial edicts, and are they something you can question?  I don¡¯t know that the sky is high and the earth is high, and I am your enemy?  You deserve it too!  It is so shameless to dare to speak so brazenly in a mere uncivilized land!  "As the saying goes, the master humiliates his ministers to death. At this moment, Chen Hong is staring at Farrar. As long as Emperor Tianqi gives an order, this person will be dead! Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, motioning for Chen Hong to retreat, and said: "This is mine.  Daming¡¯s attitude!  As long as I say it, it is decided, there is nothing else to say.  If the special envoy does not agree, then please do it yourself!  " Being able to be sent to the Ming Dynasty, Farrar had enough understanding of the Ming Dynasty. He understood Chen Hong's words a little better, and his face suddenly became a little ugly! After what Emperor Tianqi said, he completely turned pale. His face turned pale.  After several changes, Farrar sighed dejectedly. "Now is not the time to be angry. He is here to unite his allies. If the Ming Dynasty does not send troops to help, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat the Dutch. "Dear Emperor.  Your Majesty, Farrar has no intention of challenging your authority. If there is anything wrong with my words, I hope your merciful Majesty will forgive Farrar.  Since this is His Majesty the Emperor's decision, Farrar will naturally respect it!  "People have to bow their heads under the low eaves! This is what Farrar told himself at this time. When Spain regains its strength, it must turn Ming Dynasty into a Spanish colony! Emperor Tianqi doesn't know what Farrar thinks, even if he does  , I'm afraid he won't take it to heart. He glanced at Farrar and said directly: "Mr. Special Envoy, do you have anything else?  " "Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, we came here because we heard that you were going to conduct overseas trade.  The southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty was not peaceful. Whether it was Japanese pirates or pirates, they all blocked the trade routes.  Dear Your Majesty the Emperor, we are willing to thoroughly evaluate the southeast coast for the Ming Dynasty.  "Farrar had a smile on his face, as if the unpleasantness just now had not happened. "Really?  There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that no merit will be rewarded. I wonder what you want to get from the Ming Dynasty?  "Emperor Apocalypse looked at Farrar and asked happily with a smile on his face. Farrar was sure that as long as the emperor was interested, that would be fine! It was Farrar who had prepared his words a long time ago. Naturally,  Not being asked, he said: "Your Majesty, we hope to obtain the Ming Dynasty's exclusive maritime trade rights.  At the same time, we hope that His Majesty the Emperor will lease Quanzhou to Spain, allow us to do business, and allow us to station envoys and garrisons.  " Chen Hong on the other side glanced at Farrar. Is this Spanish envoy an idiot? You are allowed to live and do business. There is no problem with this. After all, the Portuguese also live in Macau. This has long been a precedent.  He actually thought of garrisoning troops in Fuzhou. Emperor Tianqi was still smiling. At this time, the Spaniards were asking for help, but they actually put forward so many conditions. This was arrogant, and the destruction of the Invincible Fleet could not help.  Knock out their arrogance. If you want to destroy them, you must first make them crazy. The ancients will not deceive me! "Special envoy, I will not give you the exclusive trade rights. As for leasing Quanzhou, don't even think about it!"  "Emperor Apocalypse hates the word "Lease" deeply. In this life, he desperately wants to change everything. How can it be possible for "Lease" to appear again. Seeing what Farrar wanted to say, Emperor Apocalypse waved his hand and said: "I allow you to open Haiti.  When doing business, there is no need to think about docking warships.  " The veins on Farrar's head popped out. He suppressed the anger in his heart and showed an ugly smile on his face. He said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, we are very satisfied to be able to obtain the trade rights you allow.  However, we hope that His Majesty the Emperor can send troops to assist us. Otherwise, with our strength, we may not have much hope in clearing the trade routes!  " Emperor Tianqi knows very well that this is what the Spaniards value! As for the previous ones, they won't care if they can't get them. Those cannot be promised, but this can be promised! "Special envoy, this matter is possible.  , I will send the navy of Ming Dynasty to cooperate with you.  At the same time, please rest assured that the Ming Dynasty will provide the special envoy with necessary assistance, including ordnance and food and grass, which can also be regarded as a reward for you to clear the sea.  After clearing the trade routes, we can start formal trade!  "Emperor Apocalypse also knows when to be tough and when to relax. This is very important. Sure enough, after listening to Emperor Apocalypse's words, Farrar's face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief! After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Dear Emperor  Your Majesty, we will definitely cooperate happily!  "Farrar smiled sincerely, but his hands had already been clenched into fists.
