Chapter 438 bypass

Compared to the fact that Philip II finally got what he wanted to covet the Portuguese throne for two years, he wanted to marry a daughter to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty as if he was celebrating his merits, the ship from the Ming Port of Seville made Chen Mu look forward to it. He believed that Li Dan could give him an answer to where Spain will go next.

But the war on the other side of the sea has not yet been extinguished.

In the early half month of the ninth year of Wanli, Chen Mu was anxiously waiting for a letter from Seville's Ming Port... Fei Laoer sent a message from Spain to Panama, and the messenger entered Peru from the western coast south, and then the Governor of Peru sent someone north to deliver the letter to him.

The time difference between this was enough for Li Dan's sailor to send more confident news.

But no, the messenger from Li Dan came faster than Li Dan's messenger was from Zhu Xiaoen, the Fu**-Qiqi, who was under Fu Yuan in the past, came to Changsheng with a message, informing Chen Mu that King Ailan's troops had landed in the port of Ireland in August last year. The land in the south had not been seized by England, so there was no direct war. Time was beneficial to King Ailan, which allowed him to effectively unite the chiefs of various tribes and gradually erode the north.

"Until you come back, England is still unaware of this?"

Fu** Xiaoqi smiled shyly and responded to Chen Mu's question: "How can we know whether they know or not? They are all said by merchants. They said that the Portuguese king was dead, and England was busy rescuing the new king of Portugal, and even merchants entered the country of Ayland."

The Portuguese king is dead, busy rescuing the new king?

Chen Mu frowned and thought about it again and again, but couldn't figure out the relationship between them. He turned to look at Zhao Shizhen sitting in the second seat.

He couldn't even understand something, and the mechanics unit didn't understand it, and asked, "What did they do to rescue the Portuguese king, so far away."

"I know this humble position. When I returned to Bordeaux, I heard from the subordinates of Xiao Chen Shuai that it seemed that England and Portugal had made an alliance two or three hundred years ago. I believed that if two kings and their descendants needed support, they could help them to help them according to this agreement, so that they could protect their boundaries and wealth without any fear of this alliance."

The small flag officer said with a smile and said, "The two warships under General Jiujing General chased the escort Francia ships and rushed to the port, but they didn't catch up."

Chen Mu raised his elbow to hold the tea case, pursed his lips and slowly knocked on his temple. It was difficult for these tiny information to get together to let him know the situation of the battle across the ocean. He just asked, "How many months will this happen?"

"Just two months ago."

From the New World to England, it will take 60 days to arrive, but from England back to the New World, the north is against the current and wind, and the fastest route is to go south to Spain, North Africa, and return from the equator.

Although this route will be nearly half way far away, it can avoid winds and waves and difficulties on the sea.

Chen Mu asked a few more questions, but Fu** Xiaoqi didn't know much. Even if he heard it occasionally, he was more concerned about Ireland or England, which was not helpful to the situation in Spain and Portugal that he wanted to know. At most, it was just something about the cowardice of the Portuguese soldiers and generals, and the border guards were in danger and surrendering.

However, just when Chen Mu wanted to let Fu** rest, he heard him inadvertently saying with a mocking tone that England did a favor and made great efforts to save people. However, the new Portuguese king stayed in Paris, France and became the guest of honor for the Queen Mother.

"This was beyond my expectations. He didn't go to England."

After the small flag officer left, Chen Mu had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly and said, "Until now, we don't even know what the new Portuguese king is called. The envoy sent by the Military Office to Brazil has not seen the Brazilian Governor?"

Zhao Shizhen shook his head and said, "The messenger has been waiting in Rio for two months. The recent letter is still a letter of apology. The Portuguese Governor is still exploring outside and has not returned. However, there have been people entering and leaving the Governor's Office in the past two months, and there are many ships in the departure of the ships."

"The adventure has not returned, and the governor has not returned on his expedition?"

"It seems that their governor doesn't want to see me..." Chen Mu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, narrowed his dangerous eyes and shook his head and said softly: "How brave are you?"

Originally, he thought that Portugal would be eager for the protection of the Ming Dynasty when facing annexation from Spain, but now it seems that the development of things is contrary to his ideas.

The Portuguese seemed to not expect his protection and were unwilling to pay attention to him.

Brazil has a little bit of a sense of being out of control - of course, this is just Chen Mu's wishful thinking. He could not control Brazil at first, but in his heart, the entire New World belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

This is not only about the Brazilian Governor of Portugal who was unwilling to see his messenger, but also about the deviation between cognition and reality. This feeling made Chen Mu's heart burst into an unknown fire and was extremely angry.

In his eyes, Brazil is not just a little bit of the Pope meridians belonging to Portugal, but the entire southern part of the New World. The Eastern Military Office has unified the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty and called it North Asia, and can it still call them back to South America?

Chen Mu raised his hand and knocked on the table, and suddenly realized, "I know why Philip was in a hurry to send someone a letter of marriage."

His premonition was correct. Philip's unification of Portugal, and the most difficult part was ironic - it had nothing to do with Portugal.

Now that the French and British have been involved, the Ming Dynasty cannot stay out of trouble. As long as Chen Mu still wants Brazil, he cannot leave himself out of trouble.

At this moment, the sound of personal soldiers from far to near the ground came from outside the main hall. After a while, Du Song pushed the door and took a deep breath and clasped his fists and said, "Master General, the ship from Daming Port in Saicheng has docked. Governor Li's envoy is still on the road, so he sent a rider to deliver the letter first."

"Give it!"

Chen Mu almost used the action of "snatching" and grabbed the letter in his hand and opened it to see it.

Li Dan's letter was very long, covering all the situations of the confrontation between Spain and Portugal. In Li Dan's words, the Portuguese people and the powerful have many differences on the matter of the king.

Among the three heirs, the duchess had no support and sloppyly withdrew from the competition for the throne; due to long-term border conflicts, the people and lower-class monks were extremely disgusted with Spain, and Portugal was not a normal Euroi feudal country, and the territory could be roughly divided into three parts.

The northern mountainous areas have rich but sparse land, which is the fiefdom of the old aristocracy; in the middle of Lisbon, the maritime trade drove the prosperity of handicraft industry, and under the industrial and commercial masters, more ordinary people gained wealth through labor, which almost destroyed the original feudal relations; in the south, like Andalusia in Spain, the land was vast and the management was rough, and ruled by the new aristocracy and the large manor.

According to Li Dan, Philip won the war before he promised to cancel border tariffs; provide a loan to the squandered Portugal to pay for the expenses of redeeming the captive nobles of Morocco; and allow the Portuguese to enter Spain to study and visit.

The most important thing is that Chen Mu is most concerned about. Philip promised Portugal that the Portuguese territories can conduct free trade with the Spanish territories, and that the Spanish territories cannot trade with the Portuguese territories.

Chen Mu raised his hand and nodded one after another, spread his hands to Zhao Shizhen and said, "The last one is why the Brazilian Governor refused to see my envoy, and there is also this France who was not beaten enough."

"The letter said that Antonio, the Portuguese king who was supported by the people, was defeated in Lisbon. On the way to flee north, he was picked up by an English ship and sent to Paris. He promised the Queen Mother of France that he would give Brazil, my Brazil, why should he give my Brazil to the French!"

Chen Mu's face turned normal, but in Zhao Shizhen's eyes, he only felt extremely vicious. This was a very classic look of "Little Li to Da Li". He saw the handsome man who had just taken Brazil as himself and pointed at him one by one with his fingers.
