525 Little Portugal

Portugal has workshops and development in the new era. It can be said that Portugal has entered the germination period of small industrialization.

However, one data from the Ming Dynasty defeated Alfonso V's confidence, which was steel output.

The steel output of a coastal province in the Ming Dynasty can be as high as that of most Europe. Any provincial steel mill has a far greater output than that of Portugal. This is just the output, and in terms of quality, it is not comparable to that of Portugal.

"I arrange for someone to be responsible for trade matters, and I buy whatever he likes?" Bai Minghe obviously planned to participate in this and was too lazy to care about these trivial matters.

"Your Majesty, I want to go back and think about it for a few days." Alfonso V did not dare to make a choice in some things. He hoped to discuss with the reliable ministers around him when he went back, but after saying this, Alfonso V had a headache and sat there in a daze.

Why? Because he suddenly thought of something that many ministers were willing to believe in the Pope because the Pope could guarantee their power and suppress the king's power. They would not put the monarchy above the ancestral power, so these ministers were a trouble for themselves, and these people might even overthrow him.

In this case, how can we discuss it?

Bai Minghe looked at Alfonso V in a daze and said slowly: "Sometimes, surrounding the city in the countryside is a means. Who is the emerging nobles who are more willing to be loyal to the Pope to the throne? Allegiance to the Pope is a choice, and loyalty to the king is also a choice. If you want to become a real king, you still have a long way to go!"

"I want to declare war on you!" Alfonso V suddenly said this.

Bai Minghe nodded: "Yes, I have no objection."

"However, the result of declaring war may not be good. They may not necessarily send their troops to the front line. And they may be someone who replaces me, becomes the new king, and then starts the peace talks." Alfonso V sighed heavily.

Bai Minghe shook his head helplessly. Alfonso V really doesn't know how to be scheming.

"Declare war, and then say a great reason to enter a state of war with me, and arrange for a confidant to do some smuggling in private. The next step is easier. I will block all the sea routes around you. Then let your ministers force you into the negotiation process. If you don't even have a few real confidants, you will be too failed, and then I will have more choices for Portugal."

With a very cruel attitude, Bai Minghe did not even mean to treat Alfonso V as a friend.

Cooperation requires the collaborators to have real value.

Alfonso V needs to show such value.

"Ceota, it will be handed over to you within three months. Please do not give Spain too much help. We are not friends with Spain, and we will not be friends in the future." After Alfonso V said this, his expression was somewhat declining. One thing he could be sure of was that he and Bai Minghe could not be friends.

Because, he is not qualified.

Bai Minghe still sent Alfonso V away according to etiquette, and stood outside the door and spoke for a while.

Nothing else, just because he saw Angela and Sophia not far away. While saying something intimately, he walked towards him.

"I'm here to thank you on behalf of my sister. Thank you for your gift!" Angela said to Bai Minghe in Chinese.

Sophia doesn't understand Chinese, so naturally she doesn't know what her sister is saying?

Bai Minghe shook his head slightly: "If it were Huaiyu, he would definitely come over and shout that I was stingy. But you are you, she is her. How do you feel like being a queen now? By the way, your sister is a very ambitious person from the perspective of her appearance. She is extremely powerful!"

Bai Minghe did not avoid it. He believed that Angela was an adult and would not be so immature after experiencing so much.

Angela did not doubt Bai Minghe's words, but said: "When she was born, the high priest of the Apollo Temple made a prophecy. It was a little different from what you said. She would become the pope's invasion of the Orthodox Church, but she was full of ambition but she lived very long."

Well, it seems that ancient Greek prophecy is magical.

"Do you know what my prophecy is?" Angela asked again.

The white-known crane shook his head gently.

"My prophecy is that I will be beautiful with the Empire, and will be riddled with holes because of the Empire!"

In real history, Olivialai died under ten thousand arrows and shed the last drop of blood for the empire. She died because there was no white-famous crane in real history.

"Do you know your prophecy?" Angela said again. Bai Minghe was really surprised this time.

"I know why the Patriarch of Athens did not attend today?" Angela's words surprised Bai Minghe even more.

Angela hugged Sophia: "We have already thanked you, go and study. My sister has some serious things to do in order to regain our home."

Sofia nodded vigorously and trotted away.

Angela never spoke again, but gently pulled Bai Minghe's hand and signaled Bai Minghe to come with him.

After leaving this temporary palace, Angela brought the White-Minning Crane into the Grand Temple of Parenon. In a room in the temple, the White-Minning Crane saw the Parennant Athens lying on the bed and looking pale. A middle-aged man had already put on the robe representing the Parennant. After seeing the White-Minning Crane, he bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, the Grand Parennant hopes that he can meet you at the last moment of his life."

"He is a great man, he protects his faith, and he also protects Byzantium!" Bai Minghe bowed deeply to the new Patriarch, and then said to Angela: "Anqia, send your people to pass on the message, and said that I need Master Xuanbei, Yichen Zhenren arrives. Reason..."

Bai Minghe didn't say the reason, he just took a look at the Patriarch of Athens.

Angela did not refuse, and she left.

After Angela left, Archbishop Ora came in and fed some medicine to the Patriarch of Athens.

"I used magic, so my life will be short." After the Patriarch of Athens recovered some of his spirit, he said with some difficulty. After the Archbishop of Ora translated the Bai Minghe, he said to the Patriarch of Athens: "I will talk about the next thing, if anything is not added to you!"

The white-famous crane feels very strange.

After sitting down, Archbishop Ora said, "For Byzantine, old friends who are also priests hope to see more clearly, so they used some taboo methods. You can call this method a prophecy, of course, under the grace of God." Archbishop Ora said it in Chinese and in Greek.

"About me?" Bai Minghe asked.

"Yes, according to the prophecy, your soul is dead. To be precise, your soul is dead. Your appearance changes the astrology, and all the original prophecies have expired, and your power is powerful enough to affect the future. There are two explanations, one is you know the future, and the other is you a god!" After the Archbishop of Ora said, he spoke in Greek and asked the Patriarch of Athens to listen.

After Archbishop Ola said that, Bai Minghe replied without hesitation: "I know that the chart changes the future before, and I don't know the present. I am not a god, I am a human. An ordinary person, but for some reasons, I know the future on this trajectory, but I don't remember it all."

Archbishop Ola did not answer Bai Minghe, but continued to preach: "From the name of His Royal Highness appeared in your ears, you will know who we are, and you also know very well what you will do. At that time, you did not have enough power in the Ming Empire, but this did not affect you."

"Yes!" Bai Minghe didn't dare to respond.

"The other priest, three years before the empire's demise, also used the same method. He lost his life and left a prophecy that the empire would turn into historical dust, and also left a way eastward and break the astronomy!"

Bai Minghe didn't say anything this time, thinking that this ancient Greek prophecy was too magical.

However, Bai Minghe dared not disbelief, even if he was from a modern person.

At least the Feng Shui of the Ming Dynasty was equal in appearance and had a magical way that shocked him, so he dare not disbelieve these sayings of gods and ghosts.

"Your Majesty, you don't seem to be surprised?" Archbishop Ora asked the white-famous crane and said it to the Patriarch of Athens in Greek.

The white-famous crane took out a cigar and saw that the Patriarch of Athens on the hospital bed put the cigar down again. After all, there were patients here.

"I respect a person who dedicates his life to his country. Of course, I also believe that many people on the Pope will also dedicate their life to the Lord, but this Lord may not be the real Lord, maybe the Pope. It's too far-reaching. I guess you want to prove something, but I can't answer anything, but I have a guarantee." Bai Minghe was very serious.

"Please tell me!" Archbishop Ora was very serious. At this time, his words had already reached the key point. It would be impossible not to be serious.

"Byzantium is still an empire, and it is still a continuation of the Roman Empire. I don't like the Pope because he always wants to fight everywhere, just as many people in the Ming Dynasty don't like me, because many people in the Ming Dynasty don't like fighting. The Roman Empire continues to rule the West, the East is from the Ming Dynasty, that's it!"

Bai Minghe's words made the two old men with faith whisper and discuss for a while.

They believe that what Bai Minghe said is true.

"But, if..." Before Archbishop Ora finished speaking, Bai Minghe interrupted him.

"There is no future. Archbishop Ora, you have lived in the Ming Dynasty for three years. Don't you know the history of our China? Or are you, Byzantine, different?" Bai Minghe interrupted Archbishop Ora. These words were not obvious, but Archbishop Ora understood the meaning, which was a century-old dynasty!
