Chapter 599： Treaty of China-Portugal Ceuta

At the negotiating table, Elios and the Portuguese diplomat had a red face, and from time to time they patted the table, pointing to the other's nose and bursting out a few words of ‘national curse’ that others did not understand.

That way, it is slightly different from the diplomatic negotiations of later generations. It is a bit less elegant and a bit more authentic.

It feels like the two stall owners who are at odds with each other in the vegetable market.

It's just that no matter how they blame each other and insult each other.

In short, the main factor affecting the final outcome of the negotiation is the strength of both parties.

In the end, Portugal and Dahua reached a final agreement.

Dahua immediately released the besieged Portuguese and returned their cannons, ships, and other belongings.

At the same time, Dahua used the equivalent of one million taels of silver to purchase the port of Ceuta from Portugal.

The content of the treaty is simple, because neither party has time to delay.

The British have already clamored to come to mediate, saying that they want to establish a peaceful order in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The Portuguese and Bao Shunan didn't bother to take care of it. If one more person is added, some of the benefits will be scored.

I've never agreed, and I'm afraid that those unreasonable royal pirates in Britain will come and pick things up.

Therefore, Portugal and Bao Shunan did not formulate any detailed rules, anyway, both sides took what they needed.

Dahua got a station, a strategic port, a place to stay, and achieved its goal.

On the other hand, Portugal can tell its citizens that it has rescued its citizens and taken back the property, and it has to pay one million in compensation.

They would not say that the one million was earned by selling Ceuta, but that it was compensation paid to them by Dahua's defeat.

As for Ceuta, the place that was originally in Morocco, now they just think that Ceuta is useless as a burden, so they take the initiative to withdraw their troops.

Of course, this is a rhetoric to the people on the surface.

In fact, this treaty is a kind of humiliation to Portugal, which is tantamount to strong buying and selling.

But there is no way, the situation is like this, we have to compromise.

Instead of smashing with Dahua in Ceuta and finally being picked up by the Spaniards and the British, it was better to collect the one million.

Wouldn’t it be better to go to Morocco to grab a free place?

Tangier is a good place. Although not as good as Ceuta, it is also a good port anyway.

When the Spaniards robbed their Gibraltar, they thought and did the same.

Now, it's just doing it again, and the process is very familiar.

Therefore, in this incident, the biggest loser will be Morocco, who watched the game throughout the whole process and didn't even say a word of gossip.

When the war subsided, Western European merchants already knew that there were more than a hundred ships of Eastern cargo in Ceuta.

Ever since, a large number of businessmen began to flock to Ceuta.

Some came from Venice, some came from Spain, France, and even the Ottoman Empire.

They brought a lot of gold and silver, as well as their own specialties.

Seeing Dahua’s countless silks and porcelains, some Western European merchants were almost drooling.

Any of these commodities are of great value, but they are piled together by Dahua merchants at will. It is simply a blasphemy of these valuable items, and merchants like them feel distressed.

In addition to traditional products such as silk and porcelain, Dahua also brought a large number of high-tech products this time.

For example, high-power microscopes, pendulum clocks, watches, etc.

These things are the favorites of Western Europeans. The market for microscopes may be a little smaller, but watches are in short supply.

This thing is too savoury to wear in your hand, and it is also very practical.

Seeing those businessmen with the help of translators and Dahua businessmen engaged in various fierce bargaining, Bao Shunan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This task is finally almost completed.

But it was not over yet. He discovered that to do business with these Western European merchants, it is still very important to have a port of his own.

Therefore, he planned to stay in Ceuta for a long time, and wrote a memorial to Wu Changqing, requesting that more soldiers be sent.

They can be stable now, mainly because those countries do not want to spend too much to beat him.

If those countries attacked at any cost, they would definitely be unable to defend it.

It is necessary to send more troops.

A large number of Western European merchants took aim at those Dahua products, but some people took aim at Dahua’s steam battleship.

Fortis of Spain approached Bao Shunan, hoping to buy a warship from Bao Shunan. The price was good, and he asked Bao Shunan to mention it casually.

This condition is quite generous. If Wu Changqing hadn't reminded him before going to sea, he might have been excited.

But now, Bao Shunan directly rejected Fotis' request.

"The number of our military's warships is low and can no longer be sold. If you are interested, you can send someone to my Dahua local area to buy it. There are many warships like my Dahua, and I can build ten in a month. As long as you have money, you can buy anything."

Bao Shunan drew a cake for Fotis, and he needed to give Fotis some other hope.

If he told Fotis Dahua directly that he would not sell steam engines, I am afraid Fotis would devote himself to trying to get him.

If this happens, Bao Shunan will be very troublesome, after all, the strength of Spain in the Mediterranean is still quite strong.

"Dahua, it's too far."

Fotis was a little helpless.

He also had the idea of ​​grabbing in his heart, but after careful research, he found that it was not easy to grab.

Dahua's warships are too fast, and they can still run if they can't beat them. It's too difficult to be captured.

If you can't get that kind of warship, it doesn't make much sense to shoot Ceuta, but it will completely offend Dahua.

If Dahua really drove hundreds of steam battleships over, it would be worthless.

In contrast, going to Dahua to buy is a better choice.

"It's not too far, once and again, but it's only a year."

Bao Shunan said.

"Then I will try. Maybe the king will send me to Dahua to establish diplomatic relations. At that time, I can go to the legendary paradise to take a look."

Fortis laughed.

"I can assure you that I will never disappoint you."

Bao Shunan also smiled. At this moment, everyone has no conflicts and can communicate happily like friends.

There are English, French and Dutch who have the same idea as Fortis.

But any country that is a little ambitious, they all need a strong navy. Built in the traditional way, the rise was too slow, and they all took shortcuts to obtain Dahua warships.

However, in the end they were all prevaricated by Bao Shunan for the same reason.

Hearing that you can buy a steam battleship when you go to Dahua, some people are already excited.

As long as you can buy this kind of warship, it doesn't matter if you spend a year or two.
