Chapter 401 Treaties
Edward, Maxi and his group submitted their letter of state at the court meeting. After the gift was given, they were politely invited out of the Forbidden City and returned to the Ministry of Rites Inn.
I was in a daze all the way, immersed in Ying Yi's emperor's majesty and could not extricate myself.
It was not until outside the Ministry of Rites that he got off the carriage and came back to his senses. When he looked at each other, he found that there was still an indescribable awe in the other person's eyes.
No one spoke until he entered the garden courtyard that was the only one of the Thai missions.
"Lord, this is a terrifying kingdom as hell."
"Why is that person so powerful? No, that's not a god, it must be! Lord, please forgive my shakenness!"
As soon as the door was closed, five people in the group began to repent and pray with pale faces.
Maxi and others immediately looked at each other.
Edward hurriedly asked the confessor who belonged to the British mission: "What's going on? Monk Andrew?!"
No one answered.
It was not until night that the five people gradually recovered.
Then, Maxi and others fully understand why they are like this.
"The emperors of this kingdom, whom they call the Son of Heaven, are so powerful. In my eyes, he is covered with a light like the sun, hot, majestic, and boundless!"
"In that palace, hundreds of officials, each of them, were extremely powerful. This made me unbelievable. Even the Paladins and monks in the Vatican were inferior to those in a single way."
"I thought what I saw before was just an isolated case. The officials I saw in Guangzhou, some law enforcement officers, and officials who followed us here, were all very powerful."
"If it is not an isolated case, then if all the official personnel of this country are so powerful, they will be invincible unless the Lord comes to the world!"
"Lord, please accept my confession. I even thought this was heaven, the Garden of Eden, and they were powerful omnipotent angels!"
"This is hell, they are the devil!"
"I'm leaving here, leave here immediately!"
The next day, several monks of the church who accompanied the group insisted on leaving immediately, but were persuaded by several jazz.
"We know that a powerful country must have extraordinary power. Even the indigenous tribes of Afriga also have wizards? But as mortals, we cannot see the essence of the world clearly. If all the monks leave like this, then we will not see anything."
"No need." A monk said bleakly: "You see."
On the street outside the inn, a team of fully armed soldiers was coming towards him. In the distance, some law enforcement officers were patrolling. In the eyes of several monks, these people were emitting a fiery force, powerful and intense body.
"Even the lowest-level law enforcement officers on the streets are extraordinary. I am afraid that the more I see, the more I will be shaken. Faith is my life. If faith shakes faith, I will never be able to go to heaven to serve the Lord again!"
"But we come here at the order of His Majesty the King. If we leave like this, we cannot explain to the great Lord. Dear monks, if this is hell, we should know him better, and then defeat him and spread the Lord's glory here."
"Whatever you think. If their strength is a common practice, then I don't think the Europa countries can defeat them."
...
Ying Yi did not pay too much attention to the movements of the European and Brazilian delegation. No matter what happens, it will not have any impact on the empire.
With the strength of Daxia today, if it were not for the foundation that had not been laid, it would not be difficult to sweep this planet.
Any conspiracy and plan is like an ant crawling under your feet, insignificant.
At the court meeting, Ying Yi also saw the monks from the church. Ying Yi had no idea about this and was too weak.
Just like the monks in Daxia, they may be enemies of hundreds or even thousands, and may have some unexpected means. But they have no way to resist the imperial military front.
Even a person like Zhang Tianshi, who was once the number one in the world, could not bear a thousand people facing the now fully armed imperial army.
If it were replaced by the Imperial Guards, he might not be able to defeat a hundred people.
What restricts the expansion of the empire is not the incompetent army, but the incomplete infrastructure. The spatial barriers of road traffic and the equipment that have not yet been fully popular are all restrictions.
For Europa, the empire was not that long. Ying Yi's path was taken step by step. Without solving the Mughals in the Mughals, Safavi and other countries in the central and western continents, the empire was not prepared to start a war with Europa in the West. Because there was no need and no benefit.
After three years of development in the Great Xia Dynasty, the resources gradually became rich. The development trend of the empire was destined to end the policy of sea ban.
Using the rich resources of the empire to plunder Europa's wealth and bring away the empire's majesty, this is the first. Second, opening the sea means that the empire will enter the era of great sailing. Whether it is the Americas mentioned by Europa, or the land south of the South Ocean Islands, the empire's official will not compete directly with Europa for the time being, but will encourage private merchants to compete with it.
Opening the sea is the beginning of the empire's entry into another stage.
This is a necessity.
But the Europa countries didn't know that they had something to ask for. Therefore, they could use this to scrape a layer of flesh from them.
Under the premise that the Europa envoy was shocked and had some requests, the negotiations of the Ministry of Rites were progressing very quickly.
By mid-October, a letter of nationality was finally signed.
It was stipulated in writing that the Daxia Empire had the power to station troops in the Nanyang archipelago and did not interfere with the Taixi countries. The merchant ships of the Daxia Empire could travel the whole world, and the Taixi countries were not allowed to stop them by any means, otherwise they would face military revenge from the Daxia Empire.
Open the four cities of Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Songjiang and Nagasaki to trade with foreign trade and stipulate tariffs on the corresponding properties. Taixi merchant ships can freely dock and trade at these four ports, but must follow the laws of the Daxia Empire. Once violated, severe punishment will be carried out.
Correspondingly, the five countries must also set up places for mutual trading. The merchants and people of Daxia must enjoy the treatment they deserve after they arrive in the country. If violated, the country will face revenge from Daxia.
After the examination, the people of the five countries can enter Daxia, travel or other things. However, they must follow the laws of the empire.
Within one year, Daxia and the five countries will set up embassies in each place where they trade to facilitate exchanges between the two sides.
All clauses involve many mutual interests, and there are clear provisions on trade in properties, slaves, etc.
In addition, corresponding regulations have been made in terms of currency exchange.
As for the exchanges proposed by the envoys of the Taixi Barbarians involving advanced technology and military aspects, the empire did not agree.
The Thai delegation had no choice but to do so. They were shorter and at a disadvantage. But they thought they could take it slowly and could always pry a gap.
