Chapter 1263 He Bin in Europe
After He Bin ordered his subordinates, he immediately went to the living room and saw Castia tasting tea.
Chinese tea is a good thing in Europe and is valuable, but Europeans are not used to it. They like to make tea with Chinese style and milk.
Because tea is expensive, Britain once wanted to grow tea in Bangladesh to change the monopoly on tea.
After Gao Huan defeated Britain and controlled Bangladesh, the British plan went bankrupt, so now he wanted to buy tea, but only Gan Chao family.
Monopoly means huge profits. When it comes to ordinary tea, you can sell luxury goods in Europe.
"Your Excellency Consultant, this is the best Wuyishan black tea. If you like it, I will give you a few pounds." He Bin walked in and smiled.
He Bin worked for the Dutch in his early years and was able to speak Dutch and Latin. Later, because of his advantages in this regard, he was sent to the Maritime Administration to deal with merchants from various countries. He also learned French and English, spoke multiple languages, and was able to communicate with Castia without barriers.
After arriving in Europe, in order to establish good relations with the Portuguese and establish connections, He Bin followed the customs and tried to hold dances and banquets in the embassy, and gave a lot of money, Chinese porcelain and silk for free, and became a celebrity in Lisbon.
After Portugal decline, the Portuguese aristocrats were not having a good life. When they met such a generous China, everyone was willing to date He Bin.
Castia is the consultant of the King of Portugal and the partner He Bin made friends. The two are more familiar with each other.
This tea is actually a medium-sized Wuyishan tea, not a top-quality one. Westerners don’t know it anyway, they just think that it is a good product from China.
Castia was happy when she heard this, "Dear He, thank you so much. To repay your friendship, I brought you a message today!"
When He Bin came to Europe, in addition to looking for rubber, he was collecting European intelligence.
Almost when Shi Kai returned to Nanjing, He Bin actually discovered the incident of killing people to recover Jinshan County.
He was also very shocked at the time. He did not expect that the Ganchao immigrants were not destroyed by the Spaniards. He was also planning to buy two ships of cargo and transport them to Jinshan quietly.
However, the Portuguese government was unwilling to offend the Spaniards, so it was not found a merchant ship to go.
In addition, since he arrived in Europe, he felt the strong anti-Gan sentiment in Europe from the collected news and collected a lot of information about the attitudes of various countries towards Gan Dynasty.
At this time, He Bin sat down and couldn't help asking: "My friend, let me hear what news you have brought me!"
"Dear He, I have to tell you that this is not good news for you and your country!" Castia said in a deep voice: "The King of Spain Philip IV, in Madrid, convened European countries to attend the meeting, Spain, Britain and France, forming an alliance against your country. I come here today to tell you this news!"
He Bin frowned when he heard this. After he arrived in Europe, he collected a lot of anti-Campus information from Western European countries, especially Spain, and also read Philip's theory of the threat of the charity of the charity.
As a big-time official, He Bin naturally knew the importance of public opinion. Spreading such things in Western European countries will undoubtedly damage the image of Gan Chao and be detrimental to Gan Chao.
This will make Europeans dislike and reject Ganchao, form confrontation, and at the same time it will also attack Ganchao's image and affect the sale of Ganchao's goods in Europe.
He Bin thought about refuting, but in Western Europe, there is no right to speak for people and no channel to speak out.
Faced with the anti-Jian sentiment in Europe, He Bin had a premonition that countries might form anti-Jian alliances, but they did not want to come so quickly.
"The Three Kingdoms Alliance of Western, British and French?" He Bin frowned.
Castia said: "Yes, the three countries formed an alliance to divide the world and wanted to deal with the Gan Chao together. In addition, Spain is still trying to win over the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries to join the alliance!"
After hearing this, He Bin felt that this information was very important. He stood up and gave Rastiya a gift, "My friend, this news is so important. I hope you can provide me with more information!"
Castia said: "Dear He, you can rest assured that I will inform you of any actions they have. In addition, the king asked me to tell you that although Portugal is a European country, he is always friends with Gan Chao!"
He Bin quickly expressed his gratitude, "Please tell His Majesty the King, even if you do it, you will never forget the friendship in Portugal!"
Castia nodded, "There is one more thing, I need to remind you. The Spanish king was eager to form an alliance, probably because Gan Chao regained the Kings. In the Madrid Conference, the west coast of North America was Spain's sphere of influence. Philip IV formed the Three Kingdoms Agreement and may send troops to North America to attack your colonies in North America."
He Bin heard the words and couldn't help but worry about the newly reappeared Ganchao immigrant, "My friend, I thank you again for your reminder!"
After the two talked for a while, Castia left with the gift prepared by He Bin.
At this time, the civil servant of the embassy came to report, "Mr. Ambassador, the merchant ship returning to Ganchao has been contacted. Will he notify Captain Sun to board the ship?"
He Bin shook his head, "No hurry, let them wait any longer. I need to collect some information and let Captain Sun take it back to Dagan!"
In the next few days, He Bin sent people to inquire about it, held several banquets, invited celebrities from Lisbon to inquire about the news, and collected a lot of information about the Three Kingdoms Agreement.
The Allies formed by Spain, Britain and France can be said to be the most powerful force in Europe. And depending on the trend, other European countries will most likely join the Allies if they want to colonize overseas.
Then the Allies will become the biggest threat to the dynasty.
After all, Portugal is not a member of the Allies, and its domestic nobles have not received much news, which is similar to what Castia said.
He Bin felt that to get more news, he had to go to the Allies. Spain and the Gan Dynasty were in a state of war. The two sides did not send each other ambassadors. The relationship between Britain and the Gan Dynasty was not good, and it was isolated overseas and the news was not well-informed.
France is located on the European continent, a continental power, and is one of the members of the Allies. However, its relationship with Gan DPRK is not as good as that of Spain and Britain.
He Bin considered it over and over again and decided to go to Paris to preside over the intelligence collection work.
Three days later, Sun Shangcheng, an military officer of the embassy, set off with intelligence and rubber, and He Bin hurriedly left Lisbon and headed to Paris, the heart of Europe, to collect information from the Allied Powers.
...
In Nanjing, Emperor Gao Huan of Dagan returned to the court, appeased the queen and stabilized the harem. He immediately summoned Shi Kai to meet and learn about the situation in Beiyinzhou. Then he convened a meeting of the Council and discussed with the cabinet to support Yinzhou.
At this time, in the hall, Gao Huan talked about the situation of Kingsoft immigrants, and asked in a deep voice: "My dear friends, Kingsoft is in a critical situation. I want to send troops to reinforce. What do you think?"
After several people discussed politics and discussed for a while, Sun Sike spoke: "Your Majesty, I oppose sending troops to reinforce me directly!"
