Chapter 1242 disturbing the dream
Shallian.
The arrival of the envoy of the Ming Empire was grandly received by Shalian. Although the four Western countries, including the Dutch representative Albert, who was not interested in the Ming Dynasty, was dissatisfied with it, they still looked like spring breeze on the surface and went to the port to welcome him together with other representatives.
In order to resettle the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, representatives of the four countries had discussed and discussed before, and deliberately vacated a very good place in the city. However, this was not useful in the end. According to the Ming Dynasty, they did not want to disturb Shalian and Western friendly countries too much, and they did not want to make a suspect of disturbing the people. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to ask for a place to be set up in the southwest of Shalian to station in the port area near the port area.
Among them, the marine troops accompanying the ship are stationed outside, and the inside is a small manor temporarily purchased from local wealthy people, using it as the garrison of the mission.
Although the place is not big, it is enough. Moreover, this place is close to the port. If something happens, you can withdraw it to the ship at any time. In addition, the artillery fire of the warship can also be provided for support when necessary.
After the Ming Dynasty's mission was stationed, representatives from various countries came to visit each other in the past few days. Even the envoys of the Dongyu Dynasty and the envoys of the Meng tribe came over, trying to get along with the Ming Dynasty.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. Not to mention the hatred between the Dongyu Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, their ancestors' heads were made into vessels and offered to them by Zhu Yicheng in the ancestral temple. As for the torso that had been burned to ashes, they didn't know where to throw them. The Ming Dynasty would never change if it destroyed the Dongyu Dynasty, and naturally it would not be possible to see any other envoy.
As for the Meng tribe, the Ming delegation was also bombarded by the Ming delegation. As a local tribe in Myanmar, how could they have the qualifications to see the Ming envoy? No matter how strong the Meng tribe is in the local area, it is just a similar to the chieftain of the Ming tribe. Moreover, the Ming delegation came to Myanmar this time to enthrone Gao Jin as the king of Myanmar. How could they give the Meng tribe such an illusion?
In this way, the people of the Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng people were driven away in a dusty manner, and the Ming delegation also told everyone about the Ming Dynasty's attitude in Myanmar with this clear attitude.
"Do you think Gao Jin can come to the south?" After a few busy days, he temporarily handled the visits from various countries. William Adams asked Fernando, who was sitting in front of him with a smile.
"What do you think?" Fernando also held a glass of wine, savored in a noble manner, and asked back.
"I think it's a bit difficult," William Adams said after thinking about it.
"Tell me what you think."
"From the current situation, the Dongyu Dynasty and the Meng tribe have colluded with each other, and have privately received support from the Netherlands. In addition, to head south from Ava, the direct road is through Binmana. The terrain of Kinmana is complex, not only a major transportation route, but also a military important place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gao Jin's army cannot be deployed in Binmana, which means it has lost its advantage in military strength. It is not so easy to break through."
"Then do you think Gao Jin can't directly attack the south?" Fernando asked.
William Adams smiled: "For the time being, it doesn't mean that Gao Jin will never break through the opponent's defense line. After all, he is an excellent military general. In my opinion, the cooperation between the three forces of the Tou Dynasty, the Meng tribe and the Netherlands cannot continue. Once their cooperation breaks down, it will be when Gao Jin truly becomes the king of Burma."
"It seems that there are a lot of news from the British." Fernando joked.
"Your Excellency, there is also news coming from Portugal. Don't forget that my uncle is still working in the East India Company. To a certain extent, we are not real Ming people, aren't we?"
"Hahaha!" Fernando suddenly burst into laughter. William Adams was right. Whether in the eyes of the British or the Portuguese, he and William Adams were on the surface aristocrats and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they were still British or Portuguese.
It is precisely for this reason that they were invited by representatives from Portugal and British on the first day they arrived in Shahill. Although the invitation was rejected by them in the name of the mission, they still visited them in the past few days and showed great enthusiasm.
Through exchanges with the representatives of Portugal and the British, some information naturally reached their ears. In addition, the Ming Dynasty also had its own information channels in Myanmar, and these news were also delivered to them on the day the mission arrived.
As for identity, William Adams and Fernando have long regarded themselves as real Ming people. The reason why Zhu Yicheng sent them was just to use their seemingly vague identities to help do things. If the Portuguese and the British, including France and the Dutch, thought so, they would fall into the plan they had already prepared.
The main task of the mission was to enthrone Gao Jin as the king of Myanmar. However, the mission would not go north to enthrone, but would stay at Shalian waiting for Gao Jin to completely resolve Myanmar before enthroning it. This was also Zhu Yicheng's explanation before they set off, because Gao Jin had not really grasped the situation in Myanmar before setting off. If Gao Jin could not become the true ruler of Myanmar in the end, then the enthronement of the Ming Dynasty would become a complete joke.
When Gao Jin finally completely resolved his opponent and controlled the overall situation in Myanmar, then the Ming Dynasty's enthronement was natural. Outsiders do not know this, but the two present, as the primary executors, knew it very well.
"Then we will wait here with peace of mind, but I hope the result will come out sooner." Fernando raised the wine glass in his hand and made a pose for William Adams. William Adams smiled and nodded, raised his glass and invited him to drink it all.
The next morning, for countries like Myanmar, the early morning is the most comfortable time for the climate and the best time to sleep.
Fernando, who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom, was dreaming that he had returned to his hometown in Portugal that he had not returned for a long time.
Fernando, who had only one noble title but was almost bankrupt, is now returning home in glory. As the earl of the world's most powerful empire, Fernando was welcomed by his hometown people. Count of the people who screamed and wanted to see his face to greet him on both sides of the road. The same was true for those Portuguese nobles, even some high-ranking nobles. His Majesty the King of Portugal also personally left the palace and came to the end of the road to welcome his arrival with a slightly humble smile...
"Bang bang..." The sound of a salute seemed to be heard, and Fernando was filled with joy. But for some reason, the salute seemed to be ringing endlessly, which made Fernando confused. In addition, there seemed to be someone calling him, the shouts suddenly and approaching, floating...
Suddenly, Fernando woke up from his dream. His thoughts had not returned to his body in his confusion, but there were still shouts and bangs in his ears.
After a few seconds, Fernando realized that the banging sound was the knocking sound, and the shouting was his personal guard outside the door.
He quickly responded to the door. As soon as he finished speaking, the knocking and shouting stopped. Fernando put on his clothes, got out of bed and walked to the door and opened the door. He said to his guard captain with great displeasure: "When is this? Why knock on the door?"
"Sir! Urgent news!" The captain of the guard did not show any fear. On the contrary, he looked very serious and said to Fernando.
