86, Austria proposes alliance

When the messengers of the nations entered Lisbon, the capital of Portugal from the Atlantic Ocean, they were all attracted by the prosperity and prosperity of Lisbon.

At this moment, Lisbon has built new sand and gravel roads, so the entire city is quite spacious, and the convenient and smooth sand and gravel roads have deeply attracted merchants from all over the country to come here to do business and trade.

Seeing the goods they wanted were delivered quickly and the goods they were sold to Lisbon quickly, the merchants were filled with joy.

"When did the road be built in Lisbon? This road is really good. I'm no longer afraid that my goods will be bumped."

"Yes, fast, flat, clean. Look at my shoes and clothes are not as dirty as before. I like Lisbon very much."

"I used to feel that Lisbon was very backward, but today I really thought it was a mistake. It turns out that Lisbon is so grand, convenient and prosperous."

"Yes, this level of prosperity is really no less than that of the Port of Venice and Constantinople."

"Yes, have you noticed that there are Nordic merchants and North African goods here. It seems that you can consider continuing to trade in Lisbon in the future."

"Um……."

Listening to the conversation between the merchants next to him, these messengers were even more shocked. When did the Kingdom of Portugal undergo such a huge change?

These messengers immediately grabbed a Lisbon native merchant and asked: "Hello, I am a merchant from afar from the Kingdom of Austria. I have been to Lisbon before. Lisbon was not like this at that time. May I ask..."

Before the Austrian envoy could finish his speech, the Lisbon merchant had already started to talk.

"Oh, the roads in Lisbon were narrow and muddy, and a large amount of land was buried with weeds. It really looked backward. This time, our Majesty the King personally ordered the rectification of the major transportation routes and urban buildings in the Kingdom of Portugal, and specially repaired the roads of Lisbon and repaired the major shops and taverns. How could it be surprising?"

"It's not just Lisbon, but our Porto, Algarve and Selivian ports are also of this size. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."

The Austrian envoy was stunned: "I remember Selivia is Castile's territory, how come it belongs to you?"

"Don't you know? Castile had been unable to repay the huge amount of money in Portugal a few months ago because he owed us a huge Portugal, so Selivia is now our Portugal port. It seems that you Austria is too neglecting the Iberian Peninsula, but it doesn't matter, you will know ours soon." The Lisbon merchant said proudly, waving his fists.

While Austrian envoys were exploring the status quo of Portugal, envoys from other countries were also exploring the status quo of the Kingdom of Portugal.

In the palace of the royal palace of Lisbon, Ferrero and Nathan are reporting to Tim: "Your Majesty, as you might expect, the envoys of Austria and other countries have sneaked into our Portugal these days, but they have not had any suspicious actions at present, they are just rushing back and forth on the streets."

"Haha, I feel honored to be noticed by kings from all countries in Portugal." Listening to this news, Tim just smiled calmly without any panic or worry.

When he allowed the national army to purchase foreign military, he had long expected that all countries would find out about Portugal, but why not send an envoy to you? Could it be that he could really steal the skills? He could really steal the position of Portuguese merchants and the trade center of the Mediterranean economic circle?

"How are the weapons and ships equipped?" Tim thought about the Portuguese army. He bought a lot of equipment at this moment, and he must be in the exploratory stage!

Nathan quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the army is fine, because this time the army has recruited a lot of soldiers who have worked in Castile and other countries before, so it is very fast to get it together. At least the unified combat and formation combination is no longer a problem, but the navy has some problems."

"What's wrong with the Navy?" Tim frowned and felt a chill. This battle mainly relies on the Navy, so don't cause any big trouble!

Ferrero quickly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, nor is it a big problem. It's because Danish ships and Swedish ships are very different from our Portuguese warships, so it's extremely troublesome to operate. However, Earl Warren also prepared very well. He asked veterans to operate Swedish warships and Danish warships, and asked new soldiers to master our Portuguese ships. The veterans are very experienced. According to Earl Warren, the veterans are basically familiar with these ships. I believe that they will be able to flexibly drive these Danish ships and Swedish ships in a few days."

"That's good, it's okay, don't hurry up for the time being, let them take their time." Tim breathed a sigh of relief and said with great satisfaction. Archbishop White had not yet obtained the instructions of the Pope, so time was still enough.

When Tim heard Ferrero and others report the matter, a voice rang out of the hall: "Your Majesty, the Austrian envoy asks for a visit."

"Ao? As soon as he talked about the Kingdom of Austria, their messengers came, Warren Groot, go and bring them in." Tim said to Warren Groot with a smile.

Warren Groot nodded quickly, then turned around and went out.

Soon, he brought a few people in.

"Have seen His Majesty the Great King." As soon as several Austrian envoys saw Tim on the throne, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"I wonder what your identity is in your country?" Tim asked curiously as he looked at the costumes of one of the young messengers.

"I..." The messenger became very unnatural when he heard Tim's question.

Seeing this, a middle-aged man next to him quickly stepped forward and changed the topic: "Your Majesty, this is Earl Melade. By the way, this is the written document of His Majesty the King of Our country. Please check it out."

After saying that, the Earl of Mellard took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Warren Groot.

After taking the document from Warren Groot, Tim looked at the Earl of Melade for several more glances before turning his eyes to the Austrian king's handwritten document.

The document reads:

Dear King Tim, the King of Portugal, thank you for your purchase in my Kingdom of Austria a few days ago. Your order has really saved our fragile economy in the Kingdom of Austria. We express our gratitude and appreciation for your generous behavior.

My Austrian Kingdom is located in the middle of the mainland. I think our Austrian Kingdom is also a relatively powerful country, so I dared to propose an alliance to respect His Excellency Tim. I wonder if you are willing to appreciate it?

If you want, Earl Melade will be in charge of the alliance, and he means me.

After reading the papers, Tim smiled and said, "Will your country form an alliance with our Kingdom of Portugal?"
