- At the Government House of Hong Kong, Tang Bohu is receiving Andre, the Spanish Minister in Hong Kong.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I heard that you like some paintings very much. I also have two famous European paintings here, and I would like to ask you to help me appreciate them."
Andre¡¯s Ming dialect is excellent, with an authentic Beijing-Tianjin tone, even better than that of Tang Bohu, a Suzhou native.
"Really."
When Tang Bohu heard this, he immediately became interested.
强牺 wanbar.net 读牺。He is very interested in painting and calligraphy, and this One of the representatives of painting and calligraphy during the Ming Dynasty. Even now that he is an official, he still has not given up his hobby. His painting and calligraphy skills are extremely high.
Because the trade and exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and other parts of the world are getting closer and closer, a large amount of overseas painting art has been introduced to the Ming Dynasty. Tang Bohu also spent time and energy studying this.
When I was in Nanyun Province, I was most exposed to paintings from Persia, India, the Middle East, and the Ottoman Empire. The paintings in these places are very different from the paintings of the Ming Dynasty.
The paintings of the Ming Dynasty focused on freehand brushwork, mainly landscape paintings, focusing on artistic conception and using concise strokes to outline profound artistic conception.
However, the painting art in these places is different. They are basically full of strong religious colors, and the colors are also bright and colorful.
Now that I have come to Europe, I have already heard about European painting art. I even spent money to buy some European oil paintings, sketches, etc., and studied them carefully.
European painting art is also full of strong religious colors, focusing on figure painting. At the same time, the most popular one now is human body painting, which uses it to show the beauty of the human body and advocate the concept of humanistic spirit.
Seeing that Tang Bohu was interested, Andre also quickly took out several famous paintings that he had prepared in advance.
"Please also ask Mr. Tang to help you appreciate it~"
"I heard that Mr. Tang is a master of painting. One painting is worth thousands of gold. He must have extremely high attainments in painting."
"Mr. Minister, I'm very grateful. I'm very grateful. I only know a little bit about it."
Tang Bohu looked at the paintings in front of him carefully. As a master of painting, his eyesight was unquestionable. Even if it was a European painting, Tang Bohu could identify it.
"Not bad."
"These paintings should all be from the hands of famous artists. Various European painting techniques have been used with pure passion, reaching the pinnacle of perfection."
Tang Bohu also loves the European paintings in front of him. People who are good at painting naturally also like famous paintings.
"Mr. Tang, these paintings are actually of average quality in Europe. Since Mr. Tang likes them, I will give them to Mr. Tang."
¡°This can¡¯t be done~no way!¡±
When Tang Bohu heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"If you collect bribes, you may lose your hat."
¡°Now that I have finally become a fourth-grade official, I am expected to regain the glory of my ancestors. How can I ruin my reputation by accepting bribes?
After repeated refusals, Tang Bohu still refused to accept, and Andre had no choice but to take the painting back.
"Your Majesty the Governor~"
"You must have heard about the current situation in Europe."
Andre asked someone to put away a few paintings, and then got down to business.
Spain is not having a good time now. The French have always been fighting fiercely with Spain on land. The two sides have been fighting on the border for more than two years, with heavy casualties.
The French held their breath and insisted on regaining on land all the dignity they had lost at sea.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides were fighting on the border, which put huge pressure on Spain.
The protracted war has made Spain extremely tired. More importantly, the colonies in West Africa are also facing erosion by the Persians and Koreans. They have never been able to get away to deal with the Persians and Koreans.
In addition, in North Africa, the Spanish are still snatching Alexandria in Egypt, and the two sides are also fighting fiercely. The Egyptians, who purchased warships from the Ming Dynasty, are now beginning to counterattack the Spanish fleet in the Mediterranean.
Although Spain looks very beautiful and awesome now, it is actually under a lot of pressure and has been working hard to reverse the situation, at least for now.bsp; ¡°I think there shouldn¡¯t be any problem with purchasing arms and weapons and taking out loans. Based on the relationship between us, it¡¯s definitely possible.¡±
"As for saying not to sell arms and weapons to your enemies, I'm afraid this is not in line with our Ming Dynasty's consistent principle of neutrality."
Tang Bohu thought for a while, remembered some of Jiang Liang's instructions before leaving, and replied solemnly.
The Ming Dynasty must always maintain one principle among all parties, that is, the principle of honorable neutrality. Only in this way can it sell arms and weapons to all parties, provide loans, and at the same time achieve the purpose of weakening all parties. This is in the best interest of the Ming Empire.
Of course, support for Spain is also necessary. Spain cannot be allowed to fall, because Spain owes a huge debt to the Ming Empire and falls. Who will be responsible for the debt?
This time z.com Zhang Si. "Ma Dan, another cunning fox."
When Andre heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. He originally thought that the other party was just right and could be fooled, but who knew that the other party was similar to Jiang Liang, and he was also a guy who didn't get into things.
Honorable neutrality. You Ming people are neutral. You make a lot of money by doing business on both sides. However, our warring parties are getting poorer and more miserable as we fight. However, no one can withdraw from this war, and neither one is willing to withdraw. go out.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "Then thank you, Mr. Tang."
¡°On the surface, Andre wanted to thank Tang Bohu. It would be good if he could get more loans. After all, he was indeed poor now
