The destination of the "Dongfeng" is Lisbon, which is a bad guy who was dragged into the water in this war. Portugal has always been a country that opposes a war with the Ming Dynasty, but this country is too small, so small that when other countries take action, they have to take out all their assets and devote themselves to this war, otherwise the country will be finished before the war breaks out. Other countries are happy to join forces to divide this small country. There is also a bad guy, Sweden, which takes the initiative to jump into the pit. Sweden on land has always been a military power, and the glory of Gustav II, the "Northern Lion", is still protecting this country. Unfortunately, in this dispute, Sweden misread the situation and devotes itself to a war that was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Sweden, which has few ground troops, has the greatest gain in this battlefield, which is to leave the last bit of blood from the elite created by Gustav II on the land of Spain. Five thousand essences, under a dense and rapid artillery fire, quickly emphasized that the Swedish army, which should be used in concentrated artillery, tasted the taste of concentrated artillery use. This is a kind of irony. "The artillery fire should be fierce, concentrated, and avoid dispersal. Artillery should cooperate with other weapon weapons. This is the artillery tactic proposed by Gustav II." Objectively speaking, Gustav II laid the foundation for modern military theory.

If it weren't for the emergence of the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, Gustav II would have been the best name of "the father of modern warfare".

But now, all this has become illusion. On the dock in Lisbon, not only the Portuguese were welcomed, but also the Swedish envoys were waiting on the dock. These two countries were the first to compromise with the Ming Dynasty due to their own strength. To put it bluntly, the Portuguese had a deep hatred for the Ming Dynasty. What was the matter with the Swedes? It was nothing more than the little face of the Europeans. In addition, the adventurous spirit of the Nordic viking was playing a role.

The welcome scene was not lively, or even a little deserted. Zhang Guangde was in front of him, and after a simple exchange, he got on the carriage. The Oriental left the dock and headed for Gijon, and came to pick up the mission on his way back. The cruiser "Ningyuan" that escorted the cruise ship was left behind. The Europeans on the dock looked at the mission on the bus with complex eyes.

Negotiation requires a process, and different parties must be treated differently. Zhang Guangde did not plan to discuss the two families together, and it was easy to grasp the situation. As the host, Portugal negotiated first. Speaking of Portugal, it was quite interesting. When the fleet and personnel of Hero Port were evacuated, the Portuguese not only did not occupy it, but also sent personnel to protect everything there to avoid being destroyed. After the Ming Dynasty came back, the Portuguese, who had first compromised, also used this matter to show their merits. I hoped that they could get better treatment. At the negotiating table, Zhang Guangde offered a condition that was not low, with compensation of 8 million Chinese yuan, ceding the Azoon Islands, and opening up the domestic market.

After repeated tug-of-war, the negotiations were suspended. Then they negotiated with the Swedes, and the conditions offered were lighter, and the compensation was 5 million Chinese yuan. The Swedes naturally had to bargain. So they continued to argue. Zhang Guangde was extremely rude at the negotiating table. These Europeans had no choice but to endure it again and again. They could not bear it anymore and still had to endure it. After all, for Portugal and Sweden, once the Ming fleet came to their door, the little navy in their family would not be enough. Because of the war, the economies of these two countries had been seriously affected. Especially Portugal, Brazil, a colony in South America, dare not enter the waters of all profits, let alone return to China.

The Ming Dynasty's offensive was global, and the Swedes were typical of causing trouble for themselves, so of course they would not be polite to him. The negotiation process with Sweden was very fast, and it was not difficult to open the market. The rest was the issue of compensation. After three days of bargaining, because the Ming Dynasty had no more demands for Sweden, it reached a contract of compensation of 3 million Chinese yuan. It is known in history that the Ming Dynasty's Lisbon contract was held.

Looking back and continuing to negotiate with Portugal, the process became much more difficult. The other party was chewing at the issue of ceding the Azores and refused to agree, and was only willing to pay the compensation of 3 million yuan. The two sides could not reach an agreement, so Zhang Guangde slapped the table and said, "Then let the cannon speak."

Without saying a word, the delegation stood up and left, and the Portuguese did not stay. They were also thinking about whether to let the Lisbon turrets touch the Ming fleet? The next morning, the Ming fleet arrived, or had been waiting on the sea. When the negotiations could not be reached, they would naturally have to shine their muscles.

The Lisbon Fortress, which was still using smoothbore guns, was washed away under the fierce artillery fire of the fleet. Then the landing team landed and killed the turrets, and used tons of explosives to blow up all the turrets, the Portuguese had to raise the white flag again.

The negotiations continued, and the negotiation process was much smoother. Finally, a contract of cedes the Azores and compensation of 5 million Chinese dollars was reached. The negotiation location was still in Lisbon, so it was called the Lisbon contract in Ming Port.

When he returned to Hero Port, Zhang Guangde raised a red flag of the Ming Dynasty with his own hands. The Portuguese who were willing to stay continued. Those who were unwilling to stay could let them leave. The Ming Dynasty defined Hero Port as a free port, where any ship could stay, even if it was your pirate. As long as you are not caught doing illegal things in the waters of the fall, there would be no problem at all.

Chen Ping, who was determined to build a Huayuan Empire, encountered trouble at the beginning of his European journey. The importance of currency is self-evident, and no country will surrender. After "persuading" Portugal and Sweden, it took two months. The harvest was that these two countries were willing to accept Huayuan as the "settlement currency". In other words, in the future, Sweden and Portugal, the settlement unit was Huayuan during foreign trade. No matter where the currency was obtained, they had to be exchanged for Huayuan and then exchanged for the needed currency. In order to achieve this goal, Dafa Bank loaned three million yuan to the two countries, greatly alleviating the pressure of the two compensations. Another point is that the interest rate of the loan is much lower than that of normal European loans. The preferential policies given to the two countries by Dafa Bank, and the interest rate of the loan is equal to a percentage point lower than that of normal domestic commercial loans, that is, a rate of four percent.

After solving the problems of these two countries, Zhang Guangde and Chen Ping were not in a hurry. The European Union has been broken. Although France and the Holy Roman Empire are still clamoring, they are actually timid and cowardly. Britain has been silent, but in fact it has been shaken. The Netherlands is actually very strong, but with the defeat of the European Union, the Dutch financial industry was severely damaged and a large number of bankers went bankrupt.

For the Netherlands and Britain, success is due to maritime power and failure is due to maritime power. The Netherlands has poor blood-making ability, and Britain, which is relatively better, is actually not much better. Without industrialization as support, Britain's war potential is average. After losing contact with the American colonies, the situation between the two countries became even worse.

There is no doubt that the war could not continue. After seeing the fate of Britain, the clever Dutch quickly responded correctly and sent a delegation to Gibraltar to seek negotiations. Unfortunately, he was turned away. It was not until the Ming Dynasty delegation arrived in Lisbon that the two countries woke up as if they were dreaming. But everything was too late, and the two countries that were the first to negotiate took advantage. There was also Spain, which wanted to negotiate, but there was no chance.

Zhang Guangde, who was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, even stopped going to Europe and was waiting in Heroes Port. The delegations between the UK and the Netherlands took the initiative to come to the door. After some contact, formal negotiations began. In addition to compensation, the Ming Dynasty's request for Britain also fully withdraws from North America. The request for the Netherlands was to withdraw from South Africa and pay 30 million in compensation.

Both countries have to pay 30 million yuan, the problem is that they can't take out the money at all, and the government will collapse if they can be taken out. Of course, this is not something that Zhang Guangde should worry about. This time he was very determined, either accept it or continue to fight. The Dutch were cowardly first. After all, the country was too small, and the total number of troops in the country was only 200,000. What should I do to fight against a country like the Ming Dynasty that often had hundreds of thousands or millions of troops?

It is okay to withdraw from South Africa, but it can only ensure that the government level is willing to leave. The Dutch government does not care. As for the compensation, it is better to have a little less, 30 million is too much. What does the previous meaning? That is to say, the Dutch government gave up its official requirements and ignored the affairs of the private sector. Originally, this country was a federal type, and the East India Company was not a state-owned enterprise.

If the Dutch people who were already in South Africa were reluctant to leave, the government would not stand up for them. At least this was the case on the surface. In fact, this was also the case. The Ming fleet and army drove over and they had no choice but to retreat to the inland Africa, and they could not change the fait accompli.

The British side said that they could withdraw from North America, but were unwilling to pay compensation. Zhang Guangde sneered at this and said arrogantly: "Does the British emperor hope that the Ming fleet will come again?"

Zhang Guangde was actually very curious about the United Kingdom. Why is Chen Xie so tough and he will never give Britain a chance to bargain. If you don’t agree, you can fight and land on the British Isles and destroy this country. You can do whatever you want. Zhang Guangde thinks that the British must have committed a crime in his previous life, otherwise why did it arouse Chen Xie so hatred? It seems that Chen Xie is not too tough towards France, but just demands that the French emperor step down and a certain degree of economic compensation. There is even the meaning of continuing to support France. How do you understand this?
