Chapter 1538 New World

The roaring battlefield is confirming the conference of nations in the world half a world away.

In fact, compared to Chen Mu's imaginary spoils-sharing meeting, what happened after the 43-gun salute was more like a rallying call before a great war.

Chen Mu said that he came from his own people. Da Ming did not recognize the country that did not come, and naturally he did not recognize the right to rule on the land.

But as respect for them, Daming said that they can choose those lands first, whoever wants to attack whoever wants to attack, and whoever hits Daming will never grab him, but if no one wants it, it will belong to Daming in the end.

On the long table, a preacher wearing a blue cotton jacket and helmet brought the first mate's map of Europa, and spread it neatly in the middle of the long table.

Everyone was silent, and some envoys from small countries tried their best to search for the location of their own country on the map, and they were almost blind when they were looking for it, so they managed to find an approximate location ignorantly.

Like many large countries in Western France, the envoys are much more cautious, as if they are afraid that people will see their ambitions.

For each envoy, it doesn't matter how much benefit can be divided this time, it's just lip service, but going back to repay the merits of their own king and lord is the real merit of this mission.

On the contrary, the Ottoman envoys were very comfortable. They could tell that there was no Ottoman on the map that Chen Mu took out. Above is Amsterdam, and below is Vienna.

Southern Italy, the vast Ottoman frontiers, are all hidden by the appropriate size of the map.

Chen Mu's Wu Bian attendant held a copper plate, on which stood bronze terracotta warriors holding small flags, and placed them on pieces of land that symbolized no owner on the map. Chen Mu smiled in amazement: "Neither, is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the first person who couldn't help it was Fei Ranxi's envoy. He stretched out his arms and pointed to Monaco, "This land is surrounded by my king's land on three sides. Chen Shuai is my lord. There is a place."

Chen Mu waved: "Take it."

Wu Bian took the small terracotta warriors and wrote the words "Fei Fei" on the flag. Before it landed on the map, Spain's Acosta raised his hand to stop him, saying: "Chen Shuai, this land has always been protected by our king, and now their envoys have been expelled." , we are still here."

"Why not..." Acosta lost the awe-inspiring righteousness when he spoke for Monaco at this time, and said to Chen Mu: "Spain sent troops on behalf of the Celestial Dynasty to punish disobedient ministers, and imprisoned and transferred the three generations of nobles. This land is managed by Spain?"

Chen Mu didn't speak, but just raised his hand. Wu Bian wrote hanging characters on the flag and placed it on the land near the Mediterranean Sea. Then he placed the two figurines with Fei and Xi on the left and right. put aside.

At this moment, Chen Muchai said: "There is a dispute between your two families, discuss it in private, suspend it temporarily, and look at other things first."

Next came the Netherlands.

This is a place that Spain must fight for, but the French are not willing to let Spain succeed easily. Not to mention that Acosta had conspired to go to war with France earlier, even if it didn't happen, he is thinking of going to war now.

That's how weak it is.

The prisoner's dilemma is very disgusting, just like the little bastard in the class drew a [-]-point line between you and your deskmate. You know that line is a fart, but you just know that it doesn't work. The people on the other side of the line believe it. , you two have to have conflicts over this stupid thing, because it really has something to do with your interests.

The envoys on both sides were blushing for the Netherlands on the map, breathing heavily, wishing they could rush forward and roll the map into their arms.

At this moment, no one knew about Lisbon on the other side of the ocean. King Philip threw the wig on the ground and cursed Yang Ce who tried to blackmail his city in the Netherlands with the most vicious curses.

Spain and France are fighting for theirs, and the small countries below are also fighting for their own. The envoys of the lords think about the land that the lords have not come to the side for their masters. They stare at the map and their eyes are red. It starts from the first person to speak. Claiming territory is like water sprinkled from a hot oil pan, crackling and frying non-stop.

They fought from day to night, woke up the next day and then went to the meeting room to fight, forming cliques among themselves, as if they were going to persuade the lord to fight when they went back.

Seeing the third day, everyone was tired of the disputes, and the hatred between each other had accumulated to the highest point. Chen Mu threw another blockbuster: Daming Dongyang Military Mansion, willing to cooperate with all the envoys present. The king signed a tribute trade agreement.

A 27-page cargo value conversion atlas was handed over to the envoys of each state, and each person had a copy.

Doesn't this add to the chaos, everyone is fighting for land and fighting a war of words, what's the matter with you throwing out a tribute trade agreement?

However, when the very well-behaved envoy of the Kingdom of Navarra opened the album first, he quickly immersed himself in it.

The Ming Dynasty will send envoys to each trading country. The envoys are located in a small piece of land belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and the host country has the obligation to protect it from attack and intrusion.

Silver is 1 Tongbao per catty, gold is [-] Tongbao per catty... the purchases are divided into categories, and all kinds of things are as small as cotton, twine, starch, glass, salt, wax, leather, coal, iron bars, dyes, All kinds of oil, various ores and even stones used as building materials are all priced.

The prices of these things are not high, and compared to the market price, selling them to Daming is much cheaper.

In the other part of the catalog, the goods sold by Daming to them are also priced at Tongbao, silk, porcelain, tea bags, cigarettes, rock sugar and other things are naturally included, as well as gems, jade, pearls, etc. as decorations. Obsidian, walrus ivory, fur and other precious items processed from treasures.

There are also copper, iron, and leather processed clothing, accessories, and utensils, and the prices are generally very high.

Basically, this album is hard to make people want to do business with Daming.

But at the end, something weird got mixed in and everyone couldn't take their eyes off of it when they opened it.

Woolen army blankets, woolen cloaks, uniforms, armor sets, swords, spears, axes, muskets, cannons, and even—even gunpowder!
They manage the delivery, no matter where you are, as long as you pay the money and the freight that is higher than the price of self-collection at the port, they guarantee to deliver the goods to you.

Even if you don't have money, you can ask merchants to come to evaluate minerals, forest farms, and mountain farms, and exchange them for gold and silver.

Most people understood that Daming's Oriental Army was deliberately fueling the flames behind the war, but no one could turn back.

I can only roll up this album and go to the battlefield with the enthusiasm of seeing death as home.

When the 46-day conference ended noisyly, an iron wall weighing [-] jin was erected at the foot of Mubin Mountain, on which was cast the agreement made by the first World Conference of Nations, the distribution of various regions and the names of the [-] participants.

Chen Mu fulfilled his wish to finish the last task of his tenure, and after handing over all the work of the Dongyang Military Mansion, he wore a scarlet python robe and boarded the Changsheng Port trestle where the warship was docked.

The evening sea breeze blew over Chen Mu's face on the deck. At this moment, he could finally relax and announce to himself: The old world is over.

In the shadow of the huge schooner, Chen Mu folded his arms on his chest, looked at the sea belonging to the new world and raised his chin slightly.
