The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 665: Meet at the palace

In the Portuguese palace, King Joao IV, ministers, bishops, knights, and many noble ladies, who also have titles of nobility, are surrounded by people, dressed in colorful and luxurious clothes, vying to see the East The guests.

The palace gate opened, but there was a group of oriental officers wearing their military uniforms, with big caps on their heads, and the uniforms were stiff. The tailoring was quite close to the body, and there were obvious waisted parts, showing the strong lines of the soldiers! The medal is brilliant and dazzling, with a saber and pistol, beautiful and handsome!

Although they were a little dark, they could see that it was a tan, not the black from the bones of Uncle Hei.

This is very important. If you are like Uncle Black, you will not be valued by whites. After all, whites do not think blacks are human.

Young, energetic, and full of energy!

That temperament is full of confidence. Among this group of people, the first is official Hong Xi, the second row is Kostit, Yan Zhang, and Hao Sizhong; the third and fourth rows have five officers in each row, and the fifth row is Five non-commissioned officers, no soldiers.

Yan Changwu ruled the army, he didn't regard people as high or low, what about officers, as officers were promoted by soldiers, and he wanted the soldiers to see the world as well. But if you want to follow the customs, there are many nobles here, so it is appropriate to send officers to go up.

The army marched forward, and the Portuguese made waves of exclamation.

Go straight ahead, military posture!

Neat, uniform, and in step, just like the same person.

Although there are not many soldiers, the shock is unparalleled!

The army is united as one person, try to see who can be the enemy and who can be the enemy in the world!

The male nobles of Portugal sighed at their murderous instincts, while the female nobles were conquered by their heroism, and little stars appeared in their eyes.

"Plap!" They saluted the army together, with vigor and strength, with only one voice.

Although the Portuguese had never seen such a military salute, they understood that it was the etiquette of the Eastern Army and paid tribute to them.

Then official Hong Xi went out, and cleanly paid a military salute to King Joao IV, then a military salute to each of the left and right, then knelt down on one knee, and said loudly and loudly in Portuguese: "Foreign Minister, Dongfang Southeastern Palace has special authority and full authority. On behalf of the official Hong Xi, see Your Majesty, I wish your Majesty health and eternal power!"

This set of etiquette was recognized by both parties. The Southeast Mansion officers were the guests. However, at that time, the identity of the King Hong Maofan was not trivial. He was often a representative of God. The divine power and monarchy must be respected.

Otherwise, if you do not respect others, others will also disrespect you.

Of course, when you put the battleship formation at their door, you don't have to be so polite.

Now, it's no wonder that Liduo people.

After giving enough face to Joao's fourth generation, he said cheerfully: "The envoy has worked hard from afar, please get up!"

Official Hong Xi stood up and said at this time: "On behalf of my lord, Official Hong Xi, His Royal Highness Yan Changwu, governor of the Southeast Government, greets His Majesty. May the two countries have peace and friendship forever!"

"Very well, thank you governor of your country. May the two countries have peace and friendship forever!" said Joao IV.

The two sides were polite, and King Joao IV was very pleased and personally introduced him the main ministers, including the Minister of State Teixeira, the Secretary of the Seal Bolkan, etc., as well as the Cardinal Oliveira, and the knights, Those Countess and Queeness among them blinked and sparked at him!

If Hong Xiguan doesn't mind their older age, you can have an exotic encounter with them, I believe their husbands or lovers will not mind!

The Hong Maofan society is unrestrained and enthusiastic, and Hong Xiguan's status is high enough to allow men to let those ladies go. Of course, they are not at a disadvantage, and some are Xiaomi.

Official Hong Xi said hello to them politely and greeted them with each other.

Don't be too cumbersome. The diplomatic etiquette is not sloppy. Then Hong Xi also introduced the officers on his side. The first one was Kostit, which attracted strong attention from the Portuguese.

"Are you Dutch?" Secretary of State Teixeira heard his accent when he greeted everyone.

"Yes, Honorable Minister, I was born in the Netherlands, but I have been loyal to His Royal Highness Yan, joined the Southeast Mansion, became his major general officer, and was made a baron (the Southeast Mansion currently does not have the title of a baron, the corresponding is Eighth-level public rider).” Kostit said calmly.

Teixeira asked with interest: "Are there many Europeans in Southeast Mansion? What is the highest class of officers?"

"There are a lot of Europeans in the Southeast Mansion. Some of them are mercenaries. There are also many people who have joined the Southeast Mansion and are loyal to His Highness Yan. There are people from all countries. After joining the Southeast Mansion, they will no longer be from that country. , Is the Southeast Mansion. In the Southeast Mansion, he was born in Europe. There are two people with the highest status. They are the rank of lieutenant general, second only to the rank of General of His Royal Highness Yan.” Kostit told everyone, which caused theirs. Surprised.

Officer Hong Xi introduced the other officers in turn, and each officer gave a handsome military salute to the Portuguese, fascinated by the red hairs who have seen the etiquette of the Orientals!

The next step is to present gifts. There are fine Jingdezhen porcelain, blue and white porcelain vases, tea sets, etc. They are as white as jade, bright as a mirror, thin as paper, and sound like a rock, so that the red hair won’t blink.

The era of great voyages began, and trade between the East and the West was frequent. These upper-class Portuguese had seen many porcelains, but they still praised such outstanding porcelains.

Then there are the best tea leaves, sealed with a foot, and you can tell how good the tea leaves are when you smell them!

The best silk!

Official Hong Xi took out a small box (the size of a matchbox, and now there are no matches), and pulled out a large piece of clothing that was as thin as a cicada's wings!

"This is really Eastern magic!" The king and the nobles coincided with each other.

The female nobles’ eyes lit up, and they keenly discovered that this was a women’s dress. If they could put on it and seduce the young Eastern general...

Next, there is a good toffee. Hong Xiguan sends the sugar in public. The refined toffee makes the Portuguese feel very sweet!

In fact, toffee is also exported to Europe, but the quantity is small (the production capacity of the southeast province is still insufficient), and the taste is good, so that the merchants often solve it by themselves, even the nobles can't eat it!

Then there is rum, UU reading www.uukanshu.com opened, the aroma is strong, all the Portuguese subconsciously inhale hard, all feel spiritually happy.

Rum that uses filtration and multiple distillation methods is better than European wine, and this gift can be on the table.

Next comes the free time for communication. The Portuguese ask the Easterners all kinds of questions.

"Is your country big?" a Portuguese nobleman curiously asked.

"Our country is very large. If we count the Shanghai area, our scope is larger than Europe. If we count the land area, we are as big as Europe!" Official Hong Xi comfortably included the mainland and Australia (the area of ​​Indonesia). It is more than 2 million square kilometers, while the land area of ​​Turkey and Australia is more than 7 million square kilometers, and the area of ​​Europe is 10 million square kilometers).

"Oh, my goodness!" a noblewoman named Countess G made a fuss, her **** were turbulent and white!

Dayangma, quite attractive, had a strong fragrance, and Hong Xiguan almost fainted. If he hadn't realized it was rude to leave, he almost wanted to run away.
