Chapter 1672
Edward and Maxi entire group were politely invited out of the Forbidden City after they presented their credentials and gifts at the court meeting and returned to the Ribu Post House.
All the way in a trance, immersed in the majesty of Ying Yi's emperor, he cannot extricate himself.
It wasn't until I got off the carriage outside the Ribu Post House that I regained my senses. When they looked at each other, they found that the awe of hard to describe remained in each other's eyes.
No one spoke until they entered the garden courtyard exclusively owned by the Thai Western Mission.
"Lord, this is a hell-like terrifying kingdom."
"That person, why is that person so powerful, no, that's not God, it must not be! Lord! , please forgive me for being shaken!"
As soon as the door closed, five people in the embassy turned pale and began to repent and pray.
Maxi and the others looked at each other in blank dismay immediately.
Edward hurriedly asked one of the penitents who belonged to the United Kingdom mission: "What's the matter? Brother Andrew?!"
No one answered.
Until nightfall, the five people gradually recovered.
Then Maxi and the others knew exactly why they were doing this.
"The emperor of this kingdom, who they call the Son of Heaven, is so powerful. In my eyes, he is shrouded in rays of light like the sun, fiery, stalwart, Boundless!"
"In that palace, there are hundreds of officials, each of them extremely powerful. This is unbelievable to me. Even the Paladin of Vatican and the bitter cultivator are not as good individually. "
"I thought what I saw before was just an example. The officials I saw in Guangzhou, also some Law Enforcers, also the officials who came here with us, they are all very powerful ."
"If it is not an exception, then the official personnel of this kingdom, if all of them are so powerful, they are invincible. Unless the Lord comes to the world!"
"Lord, Please accept my confession. I even thought this was heaven, the Garden of Eden, and they were the mighty omnipotent angels!"
"This is hell, they are the devil!"
"I want to leave here, leave here immediately!"
Second day, several church monks who accompanied the group insisted on leaving immediately, but they were persuaded by a few knights.
"We know that a strong country must have its extraordinary power. Even those indigenous tribes in Africa, don't they have wizards? But as mortals, we can't see the essence of the world, if you bitters If the cultivation practitioner just leaves, then we won't see anything."
"It's unnecessary." A bitter cultivation practitioner said bleakly: "Look at it."
On the street outside the inn, a group of fully armed armored soldiers was approaching. Across the street, some Law Enforcers are patrolling. In the eyes of several bitter cultivation practitioners, these people exude fiery power, strong and fierce.
"Even the Lowest Level Law Enforcer on the street is phenomenal, the more I'm afraid to watch, the more shaken I get. Faith is my life, shake it and I'll never get on Heaven serves the Lord!"
"But we came here under the order of King Your Majesty. If we leave like this, we will not be able to explain to the great Lord. Dear cultivation practitioners, if this is hell , you should know him better, then defeat him and spread Lord's Brilliance all over the place."
"Do whatever you want. If their strength is the norm, then I don't think the European countries can beat it. They."
...
Ying Yi did not pay too much attention to the movements of the Western European Mission. No matter what they do, they will not have any impact on the Empire.
With the tyranny of Great Xia today, it is not difficult to sweep this planet if the foundation is not yet solid.
Any crafty plots and machinations, any plan, is like an ant crawling underfoot, insignificant.
At the meeting, Ying Yi also saw the bitter cultivation practitioners of those churches. Ying Yi had no idea about this, he was too weak.
Just like the daoist priests of Great Xia, they may be enemies of a hundred or even a thousand, and they may have some unexpected means. But in the face of the empire's soldiers, they could not resist.
Even a person like Heavenly Master Zhang, who used to be number one person in the world, can't handle a thousand people in the face of today's fully armed imperial army.
If it is replaced by the Guard army, he may not be able to match a hundred people.
What limits the expansion of the empire is not that the army is not strong enough, but that the infrastructure is not complete. The spatial barrier of road traffic and the armament of Origin Item, which is not yet fully popularized, are all restrictions.
And for Europe, the empire's hand is not that long. Ying Yi's road is a step by step. If the poisonous Mughals and the Safavids and other countries in the Midwest of the continent are not solved, the Empire is not ready to start a war with Taixi Europe. Because there is no need and no benefit.
Great Xia has been developing for three years, and its products have gradually become richer. The development trend of the empire is doomed to the end of the ban on the sea.
Use the wealth of the empire to plunder the wealth of Europe and bring the majesty of the empire, which is the first. Second, opening the sea means that the empire will enter the era of great navigation. No matter what Europe calls America, Africa, or the land in the south of the Nanyang Islands, the imperial government will not compete directly with Europe for the time being, but will encourage private businessmen to compete with it.
Opening the sea is the beginning of another stage for the empire.
This is a necessity.
But the European countries don't know, they want something. So you can use this to scrape a layer of meat off them.
On the premise that the European messenger was shocked and requested, the negotiation of the Ministry of Rites proceeded extremely fast.
By mid-October, a credential was finally signed.
In writing, the Great Xia Empire has the right to garrison troops in the Nanyang Islands, and does not interfere with the Taixi countries. The merchant ship of the Great Xia Empire can travel the whole world, and the Taixi countries must not block it by any means, otherwise they will face the military retaliation of the Great Xia Empire.
Set up foreign trade in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Songjiang and Nagasaki four cities, and stipulate the tariff of corresponding products. Merchant ships of Taixi are free to dock and trade in these four ports, but they must follow the laws of the Great Xia Empire. Once violated, they will be severely punished.
Correspondingly, the five countries with credentials must also open a mutual market place. After the merchants and people of Great Xia arrived in the country, they must enjoy due treatment. If violated, the country faces retaliation from the Great Xia.
The people of the five countries can enter Great Xia after inspection, tourism or other. But the laws of the empire must be followed.
Within one year, Great Xia and the five countries will set up embassies in each market place, which is convenient for both parties.
One-to-one clauses involve many mutual interests, and there are clear regulations on trade in property and slave.
In addition, in terms of currency exchange, corresponding regulations have also been made.
As for the talisman tablet proposed by the foreign messengers of the West, involving proven technology and military aspects, the empire did not agree.
There is nothing the Thai West Mission can do about it. They are short and at a disadvantage. But I think you can take your time and always pry open a gap.
After the signing of the treaty-style credentials, the Thai-Western mission immediately left Great Xia, and soon, news about Great Xia began to spread in Europe.
