    "Boom!"

    At the negotiation scene, Zhang Ruifeng was so angry that he slapped the table, pointed at Cromwell and cursed: "Zhuzi, how dare you entertain me like this!"

    Cromwell didn't want to get stuck, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Messenger, what I said just now was just a proposal, and everything can be discussed slowly. If Mr. Messenger agrees, Britain will definitely return something, and you can put forward any conditions."

    Zhang Ruifeng wanted to leave in a huff, suppressing his anger and said: "Although Sulu, Brunei, and Palembang are all Chinese territories, they have their own customs. Especially in Sulu and Brunei, they have kings."  .They did not betray His Majesty the Emperor of China. Chinese officials cannot interfere. You'd better put away your gangster ideas!"

    Sulu, Brunei, and Palembang all generally believe in the Green Church. Now with the support of China, missionaries have been fully expelled and Christian churches have been demolished.

    Cromwell actually wanted to obtain missionary rights in these three places through China.

    In addition, Sulu and Brunei are also rich in commodities such as pearls and spices.  These goods were initially controlled by Spain, after which China and the Netherlands jointly monopolized the trade.

    With the outbreak of the naval battle between China and the Netherlands, the sultans of the two countries quickly made their attitude clear, announcing that spices and pearls were only sold to Chinese businessmen.

    Cromwell was simply inexplicable. He wanted to obtain the trading rights between the two countries without doing anything.

    As the negotiations went on, the Chinese envoys felt more and more that this guy was crazy.

    In terms of diplomatic negotiations, Cromwell has always been like this.

    He demanded the annexation of the Anglo-Dutch Federation, and then the Anglo-Dutch alliance. This has already been said, so I won't repeat it.

    A few years ago, Portugal just wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom, and Cromwell threw out a bunch of conditions out of thin air, treating Portugal as a colony.

    For example, allow Portugal to open global ports, allow British missionaries to preach and build churches in Portugal, and so on.  At that time, Joao IV was dumbfounded, and even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.  Each of these harsh conditions is more outrageous than the other.  Portugal is a country that believes in Catholicism. What does it mean to allow British Protestants to come in?  The Thirty Years War of Religion had just ended.

    Cromwell was like an unreasonable child, and the other children didn't provoke him, and even said out of kindness: "I think you are good, let's be friends." Cromwell replied: "Being friends is fine.  You give me your toy and your lollipop, so that you can be my friend."

    Joao IV experienced this at the beginning, and the Chinese diplomatic mission is now experiencing it again.

    Cromwell said: "As long as it obtains trade rights in Brunei and Sulu, Britain agrees to form an offensive and defensive alliance with China to prevent the expansion of Dutch colonial trade in Asia."

    Zhang Ruifeng is a good-tempered person. He was so angry that he laughed, and his anger disappeared in an instant: "Your Majesty the Protector, China does not owe Britain anything, and does not need the cooperation of the United Kingdom to suppress the Netherlands to death. I  Before going to sea, His Majesty the Emperor ordered dialogue and diplomacy with all countries on an equal footing. Since you are not sincere, let¡¯s stop talking. In addition, I advise you to let officials do the negotiations in the future. It¡¯s really not good for you to do it yourself.  suitable."

    Cromwell is really a diplomatic genius, as long as he participates in negotiations, he will offend one by talking about one.

    Previously, the parliament was responsible for negotiating with the Netherlands. The negotiations were good, but the Dutch were almost compromised.  Cromwell insisted on standing up, forcing the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and the Dutch negotiators were so angry that they almost flipped the table.

    Facts have proved that after Cromwell personally negotiated and signed the armistice agreement with the Netherlands, although the United Kingdom has won the hemp on the surface, many of the contents of the treaty cannot be operated and have no practical significance at all.  If the whole process is handed over to Parliament for negotiation, the UK will gain more effective benefits.

    This product seems a little narcissistic, but also a bit paranoid.

    Leaving the negotiating table, Zhang Ruifeng strode out of the room, and said to the left and right: "I have nothing to say to this guy. When Lord Fan returns from the Mediterranean Sea, we will immediately return to China by boat. It's just unreasonable!"

    In the next half month, Cromwell talked in person several times.

    Zhang Ruifeng always had a smile on his face. No matter how outrageous the other party's suggestion was, he always made an excuse to go back to China to ask Emperor Zhao for instructions.  In a word, I'm tired, so I don't want to talk to you.

    Fan Chao finally came back with the fleet, and he said: "I haven't seen the Pope, but the Pope sent someone to pass on a message. He said that if China wants to establish diplomatic relations with the Papal State, missionaries must be allowed to preach freely, and Chinese believers are not allowed to worship Confucius again."  Ancestor. I was so angry that I didn't bother to wait any longer, so I visited a few small Italian countries by the way."

    "How about those small states?" Zhang Ruifeng asked.

    Return of Fan ChaoCollect crops of economic value by way of.

    In particular, it is not uncommon for pastures to be introduced and improved. Chinese alfalfa was introduced by Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty.  Alfalfa is not only used to raise livestock, it was also an important food material in ancient China.

    During this trip to sea, we got ryegrass seeds in Persia and Europe.

    The fairway of the golf course, the lawn is ryegrass, which is also an extremely important pasture.  The ryegrass in Persia is suitable for planting in the northwestern provinces of China.  The ryegrass in Europe is suitable for planting in the southern provinces of China.

    In addition, the mission also collected some vegetable seeds.

    For example, when the fleet sailed through the southwest corner of Africa and docked at the Portuguese colonial port, everyone clamored for vegetables.  Therefore, they explicitly asked for vegetables to be supplied, and the Portuguese took the opportunity to rip off and send a lot of local fruits and vegetables at high prices.  One of the vegetables was unheard of, and Zhang Ruifeng hurriedly paid for the seeds.

    Hundreds of years later, this stuff was called Bingcai in China.  Salt-alkali and drought-resistant, it can grow in seaside and desert areas.

    It is amazing that after discussion among the members of the mission, they unanimously named this vegetable "ice vegetable".  On its emerald green branches and leaves, there are things that look like "ice beads", which are hard and cold to touch with hands, and it tastes icy and refreshing.

    Moreover, iced vegetables have their own salt content, so you don't need to add salt when cooking.  </div&gt
