Zhu Xuan and the others followed the sound.
I saw another group of people coming to the port. They were very grand and accompanied by soldiers. They looked like they were not from the same group as Joao. The clothes and uniforms of those soldiers were different from Avish's.
"My name is Fernando, king of Aragon, Valencia, Castile, Mallorca..."
This man named Fernando first introduced himself and then named a bunch of countries.
They are all the names of those small countries in the area of Spain and Portugal in the future. Except for the Avish Dynasty, the other small dynasties were basically conquered by Fernando, and now the Avish Dynasty is being planned.
Zhu Xuan and the others were surprised by this person who could serve as the king of so many small countries at the same time.
"Fernando, what are you doing here?"
The relationship between Joao and Fernando is certainly not good.
Castile is at war with the Avish dynasty, but now that it is a truce, they can be regarded as enemies.
Fernando smiled and said: "I heard that a grandson from the Ming Dynasty in the East came to our place and wanted to come and take a look. Joao, you must be confused because you have offended our most distinguished guest."
As soon as he arrived, he saw Zhu Xuan and João fighting.
The scene of Zhu Xuan's warship completely destroying the Avish Dynasty and sinking a ship with one shot shocked him. Originally, he just wanted to come and see how the Ming Emperor's grandson was doing.
Seeing the scene of the fight, Fernando immediately changed his mind and felt that he could get closer to the Ming emperor's grandson.
In fact, he also has plans to develop overseas and wants to visit the golden places.
João said unhappily: "This is my business and has nothing to do with you."
After a pause, he looked up at Zhu Xuan and begged: "Emperor Sun of the Ming Dynasty, Enrique has already punished you, let's forget about it, is that okay?"
He was a little afraid. If there was a real fight, he would definitely not be able to stop the strong ships and cannons.
Zhu Xuan didn't want to worry too much and nodded slightly. He could let them go and the matter would be over. There was no plan to attack this place yet. Even if it were to be done, it would be in the future to squeeze out their value and interests.
"Grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor!"
Fernando said enthusiastically: "I would like to ask you to go back to Castile for a while. Do you think that's okay?"
Zhu Xuan said: "I have other plans. I can only refuse King Fernando's sincerity. But if the king has time, he can come on our boat and take a seat. How about it?"
"OK!"
Fernando hesitated for a while and finally chose to walk up the gangway.
The corpses of the Avish soldiers were dragged aside by them.
Joao's face now looked a little gloomy.
Zhu Xuan severed all cooperation with him, and was robbed of this opportunity by his old enemy Fernando. He couldn't help but regret it. If he had known better, he would have ignored Enrique's traitor.
After returning, he must teach that traitor a lesson.
Joao no longer dared to do anything to Zhu Xuan, so he could only vent all his faults and anger on Enrique.
After a while, the warship left the port and sailed towards Gibraltar, leaving Joao and others messy in the wind.
Gibraltar was also Fernando's territory, but Fernando was very courageous. After boarding Zhu Xuan's big ship, he didn't even take soldiers with him. When he saw the ship sailing out of the port, he didn't object. He sat down calmly and let it go. The ship sailed without any regard for the soldiers on the shore.
This magnanimity and structure are much better than Joao's.
It's not without reason that he was able to conquer so many small countries.
"King Fernando is not afraid of us?"
Zhu Xuan asked curiously.
Fernando said confidently: "I believe that the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty came with sincerity."
He still doesn't know exactly what Zhu Xuan wants to do when he comes to Europe, but it is definitely not just for tourism. He can probably tell it by seeing Joao's reaction.
Zhu Xuan said: "We do come with sincerity, but King Joao doesn't seem to want my sincerity very much."
Fernando said: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can give me his sincerity, but why are you here?"
Zhu Xuan briefly explained his thoughts on doing business and his previous cooperation with João.
"Can I see those porcelains?"
When Fernando heard about porcelain, he became interested.
These things, to their Westerners, are considered luxuries. It turns out that the Ming emperor and his grandson wanted to cooperate with Joao in business, but Joao messed up and was rejected now.
Fernando felt that his opportunity had come.
There is gold everywhere in the east, and the things on hand of the Ming Emperor and his grandson may be more valuable than gold.
"sure!"
As Zhu Xuan spoke, he switched back to Ming Dynasty Mandarin and said: "Hou Xian, bring one up."
After a while, Hou Xian came over carrying a box.
When he opened it, Fernando saw that there were dozens of pieces of exquisite porcelain and glass inside.
Zhu Xuan took out a pastel, placed it in front of Fernando, and said: "These were originally the gifts I planned to give to Joao. Since Joao is not sincere, I want to give them to King Fernando."
Zhu Xuan has absolutely no shortage of partners in the West, and they are easy to find.
In particular, he showed his strength and financial resources, so that the local people saw the benefits and were willing to cooperate with him. It didn't matter if there was one less Joao.
"real?"
Fernando also has some porcelain in his home, but compared with these brightly colored ones, they are simply shabby and incomparable.
Zhu Xuan said: "As long as King Fernando is willing to cooperate with me, help me spread the word, and contact more businessmen and nobles to go to Jerusalem, this will be my meeting gift."
Fernando thought about it for a while, and since he was on Zhu Xuan's boat, he just chose to believe it and said: "These are all small things, I will definitely be able to help you do it."
"Then thank you king!"
Zhu Xuan was also generous and said: "Hou Xian, serve tea."
After a while.
After the tea was brewed, Hou Xian poured a cup for Fernando.
"This is?"
Fernando asked confused.
Zhu Xuan said: "Is this tea?"
"Tea?"
Fernando took a sip and found that it was indeed tea.
Marco Polo also brought Eastern tea back to Europe. They also obtained tea from other channels. This sip of tea was much more fragrant than what he had drunk before, and there was a slight aftertaste after drinking it.
"And these things!"
Zhu Xuan took out a piece of silk and explained: "This is our Eastern silk."
Porcelain, tea and silk are luxuries from the East.
Of course Fernando had heard of it and knew about these things. This was the first time he saw silk of such high quality.
"It's really silk!" he said.
This young grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor really came here for business.
What they brought were the favorite things of their Western nobles.
Fernando looked at the small piece of silk in his hand and couldn't put it down, and said: "Excuse me, Emperor Ming, are tea and silk one of your commodities?"
