New Ming Empire mixed in America

Chapter 211 Chile's Goodwill and the Labour Embargo

"Long live my lord, the envoy from Chile wants to see you."

The news reported by Liu Erhe made ** Qi come back from his joy.

"Let him come over. I heard that they are invading Peruvian territory. They can barely be regarded as our allies."

During this period, more than 40,000 Chinese have been sent back from various parts of Peru. Together with those rescued by Qi Qi, the population of the Xinming Empire has almost doubled again.

However, because there were not enough merchant ships, these imperial subjects had to suffer in Lima for a while.

The arrival of so many people caused some shortages of food. However, this crisis was not resolved until the National Defense Forces "collected" the food from nearby manors and sent it to the city of Lima.

It also made Qi Qi, who had relied on buying food from a certain treasure during this period, breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, Chilean diplomats were brought before Qi Qi.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the New Ming Dynasty, I come with Chile's goodwill towards you."

As he spoke, the diplomat looked at the translator beside him, preparing to ask the other party to translate his words to **Qi.

Chile found this translator with great difficulty, otherwise the diplomats would have departed earlier.

But before the translator could speak, **Qi said in fluent Spanish:

"You are the first diplomat who can fully pronounce the name of the Xinming Empire. I am very satisfied with your goodwill."

Raising his head in surprise, the Chilean diplomat couldn't help but look at this very young Eastern emperor.

Recalling the information collected about the Xinming Empire during this period, a hint of admiration appeared in the diplomat's eyes.

This young man almost single-handedly established what is now the most powerful emerging empire on the West Coast.

From the infantry regiment that defeated the California army and almost swept across the entire California, to the powerful fleet that could defeat the combined fleet of the United States and Peru and hit all the way to the Peruvian mainland, he was shocked by everything.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Chile's goodwill does not stop there, we have also brought you a gift."

After speaking, the Chilean diplomat took a document with a list of names from his entourage and handed it to the Praetorian Guards on duty.

After **Qi put on his rubber gloves and opened the document, he saw the densely packed names on it.

When he saw a single name listed above, an even happier smile appeared on **Qi's face.

Because that name refers to Wells who fled all the way from Peru to Bolivia!

Wells, who abandoned most of the sailors and fled with only more than 200 people in light clothing, made Liu Lizhi, commander of the First Regiment of the National Defense Forces, itch with hatred.

This loach-like guy got into the mountains and then disappeared, leaving the soldiers of the National Defense Forces to search in the mountains for more than half a month.

Although he finally caught many sailors who ran down the mountain because they couldn't bear the hunger, Liu Lizhi always regarded his failure to catch this guy as his own stain.

"You should know that Bolivia is now an ally of Chile, so this goodwill also includes a part of Bolivia."

The Chilean diplomat's words made ** Qi look away from the documents.

"Erhe, get a chair for this diplomat. What kind of plastic stool does it look like?"

After first pretending to scold Liu Erhe in Spanish, Liu Qicai looked at the Chilean diplomat with a smile.

"I have received your kindness. In return, I have a gift to give to your country."

After speaking for a moment, **Qi asked Liu Erhe to get a chair.

Seeing the curious Chilean diplomat, ** Qi continued to ask: "What do you think of the city of Lima?"

After listening to ** Qi's words, the Chilean diplomat seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly showed an excited expression on his face and said: "You...you mean..."

**Qi nodded and said, "That's what you think. After I pick up all the people of the empire, I can give this city to your country."

If we could capture the city of Lima, it would be of great benefit to Chile.

Even if this port city cannot be used as a springboard to complete the purpose of dividing Peru.

The capital of Peru alone can bite off a large piece of flesh from Peru, and at least allow Peru to hold its nose and tolerate the fact that Chile and Bolivia annex the Atacama Desert.

"So what do you want from us?"

The Chilean diplomat quickly calmed down. It was impossible for the other party to send such a big cake to Chile for no reason. Chile must do something.

But for Chile, which has the opportunity to get the Peruvian capital, it is completely acceptable to pay some price.

Judging from the fact that the other party even dismissed the city of Lima, he probably looked down upon the land of Chile.

Sure enough, ** Qi's words verified his guess.

"You just need to provide some food and merchant ships. If you send my people to California one day earlier, you can get the capital of Peru one day earlier."

Although they were mentally prepared, Chilean diplomats were still surprised by the request made by Xi Jinping.

It's not that the conditions for **Qi are too harsh, it's that this condition is like giving it away for free.

As if seeing his doubts, **Qi continued:

"Don't worry, this city is like this pen on the table to me, I can always hold it in my hand."

His words gave the Chilean diplomat a chill in his heart.

The young emperor was right. Not only the city of Lima, but also which city in South America near the Pacific Ocean could not be easily captured by the other side?

Taking a deep breath, the Chilean diplomat said:

"Dear His Majesty the Emperor, we in Chile are willing to become friends with your country. Our two countries can use trade to deepen ties."

"For example, regarding the mineral resources we have here, I believe you also know that there are huge reserves of saltpeter in the Atacama Desert. The price we sell to your country can be reduced to 80% of the market price."

The Chilean diplomat told the story about the saltpeter mine just to test whether **Qi was interested in the Atacama Desert.

But judging from the calmness on Qi Qi's face, the young emperor didn't seem to be very interested there.

"I can agree to the acquisition of mineral resources now. No matter what kind of ore is sent to the Xinming Empire, we will buy it at the market price."

**Qi looked at the diplomat, smiled and continued: "But I also have a condition, that is, I hope you can seize the merchant ships transporting my compatriots that pass through here in the future."

"I don't want to see any of my people being sold around anymore, you know what I mean?"

"If I know anyone who dares to help those merchant ships that harmed my compatriots, I will make them pay, no matter who they are!"
