Bao Shunan was dumbfounded at Ellis' introduction and analysis, but this is good news for him.
Because he can't afford to lose either.
If a truce is possible, let alone returning the enemy’s ships and artillery, he can accept it even if he loses a little money.
As long as you can give Ceuta to him, everything is easy to say.
Bao Shunan sent an emissary, and Paric was also received politely.
Although Paric made a ‘righteous statement’ accusation against the Chinese army’s messenger, and his saliva was about to spray on the opponent’s face, he never said that he would drive him away.
Elios was also one of the envoys of the Chinese Army. He ignored Parritch’s various anger and said: "Your Excellency, you must have seen the great strength of Dahua.
And what you see is just the tip of my majestic iceberg. Dahua still has several fleets of the size of Master Bao. Moreover, more than a dozen can be created at any time.
My Great China Empire has a population of 100 million, 70 times that of Portugal. Of course, such a powerful Dahua is not an unreasonable country. We are a nation of etiquette, and we respect and persuade people with reason and serve people with virtue.
This time, you are really rude. On the territory of Morocco, prevent us from free trade between Dahua and Morocco.
We can only punish you for your rude behavior. In order to respect your human rights, the commander of our fleet sent me here to discuss solutions with you. "
"What's your name? Your accent is clearly the accent of Lisbon."
Hearing Elios's unique accent in Lisbon, Portugal, and taking a mouthful of ‘My Great Chinese Empire’, Paric’s lungs almost exploded.
"I grew up in Lisbon, but so what? In Lisbon I have no land and no property. Apart from the right to pay taxes, I have no rights in Lisbon."
Elios vomited.
No matter which country it is, there will be people at the bottom who are dissatisfied with the country.
They are indeed not patriotic, but if you really want to define them as completely bad people, they are more or less unfair.
In this era, many people do not expect the country to love themselves, as long as they do not exploit themselves, but this kind of thinking of most people at the bottom is extravagant hope.
For Elios, Dahua has never exploited himself, saved himself, and gave himself a job, which is much better than his own country.
"Then I will just say that you are declaring war on our country by launching an aggression against our Portuguese kingdom without authorization. Now unless your king makes a public written apology and war compensation, we will retaliate to the end."
Paric roared loudly. The Chinese messenger who didn't understand the Portuguese, saw his appearance and thought that the negotiation had broken down.
However, Elios did not panic at all. The more pretentious the opponent was, the greater the psychological pressure, the easier it was to win.
On the contrary, if the opposite party is calm and has no desires, then that is the real trouble. That means that the other party doesn't care about the success of the negotiation.
Elios retorted without haste: "First of all, Ceuta originally belonged to Morocco, not Portugal's inherent territory. Dahua wants to trade freely with Morocco and does not invade Portugal.
Secondly, because you first forcibly prevented our free trade, we were forced to fight back.
Don't even think about the apology of Emperor Dahua. You can't read the text anyway. As for compensation, as long as you cede Ceuta to us, this is all easy to discuss. "
In the previous words, Paric was even farting. The key is that in the latter paragraph, he got useful information.
Dahua is willing to compensate. This is good news.
Dahua wants to seize Ceuta, which is bad news.
Ceuta is still very important to Portugal.
"If you want Ceuta, then don't talk about it. You can attack, but I want to see what you can do to take down my Lingbao."
Parridge snorted coldly.
The first negotiation came to an end without a problem, and Paric was tough.
Ellis analyzed to Bao Shunan that Paric estimated that he was waiting for local rescue.
Because of the local rescue, Palic has the confidence to be so tough.
Therefore, Ellis suggested that as long as Lingbao be surrounded.
Then defeat the Portuguese fleet that came to rescue at sea, then Paric can do nothing.
At that time, even if Paric is unwilling to surrender, Portugal may take the initiative to give up Ceuta.
Of course, the premise is that Dahua's navy can beat the Portuguese navy.
Bao Shunan adopted this plan decisively. After all, their combat capability on the sea is much higher than that on land.
Naval warfare is beneficial to them.
Compared to attacking this hedgehog-like Lingbao, he would rather go to sea battle with the enemy.
After determining the countermeasures, the Huajun became busy.
First of all, organize the merchant's sailors and servants to build fortifications to prevent the enemies in Lingbao from counterattacking.
When the navy went to the sea to face the Portuguese fleet, the land would have to rely on the merchants themselves.
The merchants have a large number of sailors, and there are more than 3,000 people who can organize to deal with the enemy. In terms of weapons, guns and artillery are also abundant.
The only problem is that this is a mob.
It looks scary, but if there is a fight, maybe a shell falls among them, killing a few people, and the people around will run away in fright.
This is by no means unfounded worry, but something that is very likely to happen.
Faced with this situation, Bao Shunan still has nothing to do. He cannot train these people into elites in just one or two days.
The only way is probably to promise a reward after the war begins.
However, organizing them is actually just in case.
With more than 2,000 people in Paric, facing the more than 3,000 militiamen of the Chinese Army, whether they dared to rush out, it was all unknown.
After all, these three thousand militias are a matter of a mob, and it is not easy to see from the surface.
Gibraltar, the Spanish people were shocked to learn that Dahua's fleet had easily attacked Ceuta.
"Why are these Portuguese people so useless? If I knew I could win it so easily, I would have taken the shot earlier."
Fotis complained, feeling as painful as missing a hundred million.
"It seems that they have a new type of cannon, which is very powerful. Unfortunately, the distance is too far. We didn't see exactly what the cannon looked like."
The soldier in charge of the observation said.
"Interesting, it seems that Dahua has a well-deserved reputation. We can sit aside and watch the show, watching them fight, and then collect Dahua's intelligence, especially the kind of cannon you mentioned.
If we have new weapons and equipment, we can't revive the glory of our Spanish navy. "
