Seeing Marin taking advantage of her, the Spanish messenger Gonzalez felt very strange. You know, Marin bought goods at a market price of 90% almost as much as not making money. God knows why Marin is so happy.

Because Spain and the North Sea have a good relationship, Gonzalez asked curiously:

"His Majesty Marin, you are buying goods at a high price and the profit is not high. Why are you so happy?"

Marlin choked suddenly - Yes, why are you so happy? This is unreasonable...

Marin's eyes rolled, and then explained to Gonzalez with a "sincere" look:

"That's right, you know that I occupied a small island in the Far East and built a country of Beth, and surrendered to the Ming Empire in the East. You said, if I presented such a mirror in the name of my subordinates, would the emperor of the Ming Empire be very happy? When I am happy, would he be willing to reward me with a lot of silk and porcelain?" Marin did not disclose that he could purchase freely in the Ming Dynasty, but just said that he had obtained the qualification of "tributary trade" to avoid stimulating other countries, especially Portugal...

Gonzalez understands it in seconds—

"I understand. The Emperor of Ming Empire will definitely like this magical glass mirror. At that time, according to the customs of the East, the rebate will definitely be very generous... Your Majesty is indeed brilliant..."

Unlike the original history of the Ming Dynasty, because Spain participated in India's trade in this time and space, and occupied the spice islands, and had many contacts with the "Ming Dynasty vassal states" in Southeast Asia, so the Spanish also knew what "tributary trade" was. In short, it was the matter of giving one tael of gold and the Ming Empire gave back 2 taels of gold.

So much so that the Spaniards now plan to build a country based on the Spice Islands, and then learn from Marin to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Spanish didn't know that Marin had secretly bribed the ministers in the Ming Dynasty and spread the news. The core of the news was that there was no good thing in the West except the North Sea Kingdom, and they were all pirates...

Therefore, it was very difficult for the Spanish to succeed in learning from the Beihai Kingdom. Because, first of all, the people of the Ming Dynasty looked down on Fanyi, and Marin, a yin man, was doing bad things behind his back...

Historically, the Ming Dynasty could not distinguish the difference between Spain and Portugal, and they were both called Franchis. This time, Marin also planned to mislead the Ming Dynasty, making them mistakenly think that Spain is Portugal and would not give them the chance to pay tribute...

However, the Spaniards obviously don't know that Marin has plotted against them behind their backs and is still dreaming of learning Marin's tribute to success...

After Marin's statement spread, the Portuguese who learned the news was immediately furious...

Why? Because the Portuguese were really planning to use a rare item to please the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the forgiveness and recognition of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, the glass mirror would be a good commodity, which could be exchanged for the favor of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, this time, because the Portuguese envoy was not prepared enough and hesitated, he didn't even get any of the five mirrors.

If the Beihai Kingdom took the glass mirror as a tribute first, Portugal would have little chance. Therefore, after hearing about Marin's plan, the Portuguese envoy Jose changed his face...

So, Ruoze immediately sent a letter to the local area, asking the local area to authorize him to buy a glass mirror from the other four people at a high price, and then, before the Beihai Kingdom, he presented the glass mirror to the Ming emperor. In this way, the emperor who was said to like novel things and was a little chaotic was happy, and he might have allowed the Portuguese to pay tribute to trade. However, now, he can only be a pirate...

However, Jose didn't know that the Portuguese fleet had already suffered a crushing defeat at this time. Dagama, the great hero of India, also fled back to Malacca in a panic and recuperated in Malacca. Because Dagama vomited a lot of blood after being defeated on Hong Kong Island, and was so angry that he had to go to Malacca to recuperate. Moreover, after losing so many warships, Dagama didn't know how to explain it. You know, he was almost going to be a count. Now this defeat has left him with a dream of a count...

A few days later, Jose, who finally got the approval, stopped the wealthy French envoy and asked to buy a glass mirror at a high price...

The French were very rich and wanted to save face, so they bought two mirrors. The Portuguese envoy Jose offered a price and took out a sky-high price of more than 30,000 gold coins before taking a mirror from the French.

Next, we will compare who will send the glass mirror to the Ming Dynasty first. However, Marin knew very well that the Portuguese could not take the lead...

Why? If you take a normal route, it will take at least 10 months before the Portuguese can transport the glass mirror to the Far East. If the Beihai country takes a smooth route to the Pacific Ocean, the time it takes to cross the Pacific Ocean is only about 5 months, which is twice as short as the Portuguese.

Therefore, no matter how the Portuguese finds a way, it will not be faster than Marin. After all, the huge difference in four or five months is difficult to make up. What's more, the Portuguese are here to transport the glass mirrors bought at high prices from the French back to their homeland, which is very time-consuming.

So, before leaving Venice, Marin looked at the Portuguese with pity - comparing time with me? What about the trouble?

Since the upper edge inclined sail was created, the time from the eastern Atlantic Ocean to the eastern coast of North America has been shortened from two or three months to more than one month. Even the time to go south to the Caribbean Sea, the total time is only more than two months. There is no way, the upper edge inclined sail is too excellent to run north-south routes, and it simply ignores the headwinds, and even if it runs against the wind, it will be very fast. In addition, it only takes two or three months to cross the Pacific Ocean, which will definitely not exceed half a year, and generally more than five months. The Portuguese used old sails, and it will take more than 10 months from the local area to the Ming Dynasty, which is really incomparable.

Before leaving Venice, Marin greeted the Portuguese envoy Jose proudly, and openly provoked, agreeing that the North Sea Congress and the Portuguese would compete, who would send the glass mirror to the Ming Dynasty as a tribute first...

Looking at the smug Marin, the Portuguese messenger Jose was so angry that he gritted his teeth...

"Hmph! Do you really treat my great Portuguese as a vegetarian? You wait..."

So, when Marin left Venice and returned to his country, Jose also sent a secret letter with a carrier pigeon, strongly suggesting that the local people send fleets to try every means to intercept the transport ships of the North Sea in the Cape Verde Islands and the Cape of Good Hope. For nothing else, it is just to block the North Sea and prevent the North Sea from presenting the glass mirror to the young and playful emperor of the Ming Empire before Portugal...

However, the Portuguese had no idea that Marin contacted the Ming Dynasty and did not take the Cape of Hope route at all, but quietly took the Pacific route.

However, in order to paralyze the Portuguese, Marin still decided to send several ships to take the Cape of Hope route. Then, he was deliberately detained and delayed by the Portuguese to paralyze the Portuguese.
