Chapter 1243 Banquet
The captain of the guards was nominally a military member, but in fact he was a special staff member of the General Office. He not only undertakes the security work of the mission in Myanmar, but also is responsible for intelligence work in Myanmar.
Fernando knew the other party's identity. When he heard the captain of the guards say this, Fernando's remaining sleepiness disappeared and he quickly asked: "Urgent news? What urgent news? What about?"
Now, they are in the territory of Myanmar, and Shalian has various forces. Although the Ming Empire is powerful, it is not omnipotent, especially when it is not in its own country.
Fernando thought something big happened to Shalian, and it might even lead to conflicts or even wars due to changes in the situation in Myanmar. However, Fernando was a person who had been on the battlefield after all. When the Kingdom of Portugal and the Ming Dynasty engaged in the South China Sea Battle, Fernando was a member of the conscript.
Although he was nervous, he was not panicked. At the same time, Fernando had already made plans. It didn't matter if something big happened to Shalian. It was more than enough to protect himself with the military strength and equipment of the station. Moreover, the dock was not far from here, so they could withdraw to the warship at any time.
"The situation in the north has changed suddenly!" said the captain of the guard. As soon as this was said, Fernando felt relieved. It was not just that Shalian had a problem, but at least the safety could be guaranteed. But at the same time, the situation in the north has changed? Isn't it just a war between Gao Jin and the Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe? Could it be that Gao Jin was defeated? This is unlikely.
Fernando did not ask immediately, and waited quietly for the other party to continue talking.
"Just received reliable news, Gao Jin's troops continued to attack south in the Binmana area with a partial division, attracting troops from the Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe. The main force quietly crossed the west and then detoured south. In just five days, it advanced more than 200 miles south and went directly behind the other side. Now the Dongyu Dynasty's troops in Binmana have collapsed, and the Meng tribe is also withdrawing troops to the southeast. It seems that the overall situation in Myanmar has been settled."
"Okay! This is a good thing!" Fernando was very happy. During the day, he was still talking about the war in Myanmar with Adams, discussing with each other how they would face it if Gao Jin could not completely solve the Myanmar problem.
Who would have thought that in less than half a day, good news about Gao Jin came. Although Fernando did not know how Gao Jin crossed west, how to detour south, including how to cut off the enemy's retreat, causing the opponent to collapse, etc., the key issue is that Gao Jin won the battle, and this victory was a decisive victory over southern Myanmar after occupying Awa City, marking that Gao Jin was about to truly become the lord of Myanmar.
Rubbing his hands excitedly, Fernando suddenly remembered something: "Does Adams know about this?"
"Go back to Lord Sir, Lord Adams has already informed him that because Lord Sir is too tired, he is humble..." The captain of the guard replied.
Fernando's old face turned slightly red. He probably knocked on his door for a long time before. If he hadn't woken up from his dream later, the captain of the guard would have thought something had happened in the house and broke into the door.
For this reason, it is normal for Fernando to know something later than William Adams. Who made him sleep too hard?
After asking, I knew that William Adams was in the room, Fernando walked directly to him. When he arrived at the back room, he pushed it open and walked in. He walked in and saw William Adams sitting as if waiting for him.
"I knew you would come." William Adams smiled at the empty seat beside him.
"The situation in Myanmar is basically certain, which is also a good thing." Fernando sat down straight and spoke.
Nodding, William Adams' expression was also relaxed, and his face was filled with joy. However, although Gao Jin has broken through the defense line in central and southern Myanmar, the situation in Myanmar is still a bit early. The Tou Dynasty is not a problem. Although the Meng tribe controls southeastern Myanmar, it cannot stop Gao Jin from advancing.
But there is a problem, that is, the reactions of the Dutch, including other Western countries. During Shahill these days, they have a clear understanding of the attitudes of the four Western countries. If the Netherlands and even France still want to intervene in Myanmar, Gao Jin may still encounter some trouble.
"Before you came, I had asked the Public Affairs Office to send someone to the north to let Gao Jin resolve the battle as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams." William Adams said.
As the main member of the mission, William Adams had the right to deal with this matter, and Fernando naturally understood this.
"What are the plans next?" Fernando asked.
William Adams thought for a while and said, "I'll invite representatives from all over the country to come to the residence tomorrow. Now it's time for them to see our Ming Dynasty's true attitude."
Fernando thought for a while and nodded. William Adams' decision was correct. If Gao Jin could not break through central and southern Myanmar, then everything would need to be said. But now Gao Jin has decided his absolute advantage on the battlefield. In order to avoid changes in the situation in Myanmar, the Ming Dynasty must have a clear attitude to release it to representatives of various countries.
Doing so may say that the Ming Dynasty needs to show its muscles in front of all countries, so that these countries with private planning can clearly understand the Ming Dynasty’s final attitude towards solving the Myanmar problem. This is very necessary. The Ming Dynasty does not want to see a war-torn and fragmented Myanmar. This is not in line with the Ming Dynasty’s interests in Myanmar, nor does it meet Zhu Yicheng’s plan for Myanmar’s future.
That night, the two of them communicated about this all night and knew that it was over in the early morning.
A few hours later, representatives from various countries at Shalian received news that the Ming envoys invited him to hold a banquet at his residence. In the afternoon, representatives from various countries came one after another and were warmly welcomed by the Ming envoys.
This banquet is called a banquet, but it is actually a negotiation, but the negotiation method is much more eased than sitting at the negotiating table.
The "banquet" ended at midnight. After that, representatives from various countries gathered and left. The first person to walk out of the Ming Dynasty was Dutch representative Albert. Although it had been dark outside and the lights were very dim, Albert's face was hard to see, everyone could see at a glance.
After leaving the station, Albert, who did not say a word, got on his carriage directly. Then the carriage drove into the darkness, leaving only the sound of horse hooves hitting the bluestone slab.
The second person who came out was Portugal's representative Ferdinand. Compared to Albert, Ferdinand seemed very energetic. He quickly got on his carriage and then left.
British representative Henry and French representative Julian walked out at the same time. The two stood in front of the car and talked briefly when they parted.
"Congratulations, it seems that your choice is correct." Although Julian was unwilling to accept it, he still maintained the noble demeanor.
"Congratulations to you, you have made the right choice." Henry replied with a smile. Julian didn't say anything, then nodded and got on the carriage. Seeing that the other party's carriage left first, Henry was very relaxed, and then turned around and left the last carriage.
Chapter completed!
