I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

At the negotiating table, Ellis and the Portuguese diplomats fought red-faced, clapping the table from time to time, pointing at each other's nose and exploding a few "national curses" that others could not understand.

In this way, it is slightly different from the diplomatic negotiations of later generations, a little less elegant and a little more real.

It feels like the two stall owners who had a conflict in the vegetable market.

It's just that no matter how they accuse each other and insult each other.

In short, the main factor affecting the final outcome of the negotiation is the strength of both parties.

In the end, Portugal and Dahua reached a final agreement.

Dahua immediately released the besieged Portuguese, returning their artillery, ships, and other belongings.

At the same time, Dahua purchased the port of Ceuta from Portugal with one million taels of silver equivalent.

The content of the treaty was simple, because neither side had time to delay.

The British have been clamoring for mediation, saying they want to establish a peaceful order in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Neither the Portuguese nor Bao Shunan paid any attention. If one more person was added, they would gain some benefits.

I have not agreed, and I am afraid that the unreasonable royal pirates in the United Kingdom will come to pick things up.

Therefore, neither Portugal nor Bao Shunan made any detailed rules. Anyway, both sides took what they needed.

Dahua got a station, a strategic port, and a place to settle, and achieved its goal.

Portugal, on the other hand, can tell its citizens that it has rescued its citizens, recovered property, and asked for one million in compensation.

They would not say that the one million was obtained by selling Ceuta, but that it was the compensation for Dahua's defeat in the war.

As for Ceuta, the place that used to be Morocco, now they just feel that Ceuta is useless and a burden, so they take the initiative to withdraw.

Of course, this is a rhetoric on the surface of the people.

In fact, this treaty is a humiliation for Portugal, which is tantamount to buying and selling.

But there is no way, the situation is such that we have to compromise.

Instead of fighting with Dahua in Ceuta, and finally being picked up by the Spaniards and the British, it is better to accept the one million.

Wouldn't it be better to go to Morocco and grab a free place?

Tangier is a good place. Although it is not as good as Ceuta, it is still a good port.

When the Spaniards robbed their Gibraltar, they thought and did the same.

Now, it's just one more time, and the process is very familiar.

Therefore, in this incident, the most disadvantaged will be Morocco who watched the whole game and didn't even say a word of gossip.

The war subsided, and Western European merchants also knew that there were more than a hundred ships of eastern goods in Ceuta.

As a result, a large number of businessmen began to flock to Ceuta.

There are from Venice, but also from Spain, France, and even the Ottoman Empire.

They brought a lot of gold and silver, as well as their own specialties.

Seeing Dahua's innumerable silks and china, some Western European merchants almost drooled.

Any of these commodities are of great value, but they are piled up randomly by Dahua merchants, which is simply a blasphemy to these noble items, and these merchants feel distressed when they see them.

In addition to traditional commodities such as silk and porcelain, Dahua also brought a large number of high-tech products this time.

For example, high-powered microscopes, pendulum clocks, watches, etc.

These things are the treasures that Western Europeans like. The market for microscopes may be slightly smaller, but watches are in short supply.

This thing is too face-saving to wear on the hand, and it is also very practical.

Bao Shunan finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched those businessmen engage in all kinds of fierce bargaining with Dahua's businessmen with the help of translators.

This task is almost complete.

But the next step is not over, he found that to do business with these Western European merchants, it is still very important to have a port of his own.

Therefore, he planned to stay in Ceuta for a long time, and wrote a memorial to Wu Changqing, requesting to send more soldiers here.

They are now stable mainly because those countries don't want to beat him at too much cost.

If those countries attacked at any cost, they would definitely not be able to hold back.

It is necessary to send more troops.

A large number of Western European businessmen took aim at Dahua's products, but some people aimed at Dahua's steam battleships.

Fortis of Spain went to Bao Shunan, hoping to buy a warship from Bao Shunan.

This condition is quite favorable. If Wu Changqing had not reminded him before going to sea, he might have been moved.

But now, Bao Shunan has directly rejected Fortis' request.

"Our army has a small number of warships and can no longer be sold. If your Excellency is interested, you can send someone to buy them in our Dahua mainland. My Dahua has many warships like this, and can build ten ships a month. As long as you have money, you can buy anything."

Bao Shun'an drew a pie for Fotis, and he needed to give Fotis some other hope.

If you tell Fotis directly that Dahua will not sell the steam engine, I am afraid that Fotis will wholeheartedly find a way to get him.

If this happens, Bao Shunan will be very troublesome, after all, the strength of Spain in the Mediterranean is quite strong.

"Big

Hua, it's too far. "

Fortis was a little helpless.

He also had the idea of ​​robbing, but after careful research, he found that it was not easy to rob.

Dahua's warships are too fast, they will run even if they can't beat them, and it's too difficult to capture them.

If you can't get that kind of warship, it doesn't make much sense to shoot down Ceuta, but it will completely offend Dahua.

If Dahua really came here with hundreds of steam battleships, it would be worthless.

In contrast, going to Dahua to buy is a better choice.

"It's not too far. It's only been a year."

Bao Shunan said.

"Then I'll give it a try. Maybe the king will send me to envoy to Dahua to establish diplomatic relations. At that time, I can go to the legendary paradise to have a look."

Fotis laughed.

"I can assure you that I will never let you down."

Bao Shun'an also smiled. At this time, everyone had no conflicts and could communicate happily like friends.

There were the English, French and Dutch who thought the same way as Fortis.

Any country that is a little ambitious needs a strong navy. According to the traditional method, the rise is too slow, they all take shortcuts and obtain the battleship of Dahua.

However, in the end, Bao Shunan put them off for the same reason.

Hearing that you can buy steam battleships in Dahua, some people are already moved.

As long as you can buy this kind of battleship, it won't be a big deal to spend a year or two.
