The Rise of the European Emperor

The angry shout of Manuel I stunned Julius II, Ferdinand II and Marin for a while. However, this matter is mainly a Spanish problem. After all, Spain wants to carve up India's interests. Therefore, Julius II and Marin turned their attention to Ferdinand II.

Ferdinand II also knew that this time it was Spain taking advantage of Portugal, and it was inappropriate for others to come forward to oppose Portugal. So, I had to go on my own...

Ferdinand II remembered a little trick that Marin had taught him to piss off Portugal before - he pretended to take out his ear casually, then flicked the earwax at Manuel I, and blew on it. . Then, in a nonchalant tone, he said:

"What can you do if you don't agree?" With that look, you don't care about Portugal...

If you have friends who have watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, you can see at a glance that this is the arrogant action of the boss of the Heishe Club during the negotiation. Although the action is very indecent, it expresses the contempt for the other party vividly.

Manuel I was really provoked and wanted to come up and beat Ferdinand II, but was stopped by the guards at the negotiation scene.

"I'm going to duel with you!" Manuel I yelled angrily.

"It's really a child, who is still dueling these days, when you have defeated my Spanish army of tens of thousands, come and fight with me again..." Ferdinand II continued to say angrily.

"I... I ordered the powerful Portuguese navy to sink all the ships from Spain to India!" Manuel I said angrily.

"Well, I'll send tens of thousands of troops to capture Lisbon, and strip the Portuguese nobles, including you, stripped naked and tied to the cross on the square in front of the palace..." Ferdinand II said viciously.

Although Europe cannot just kill nobles, it is normal for the victor to humiliate the defeated. If the dignified Portuguese king was stripped naked and tied to a cross for people to visit, even if he was put down later, Manuel I might not have the face to be king. Because his people will despise him. After all, in this world, not everyone can be a gou Jian who bears the burden of humiliation.

And, it's not over yet:

"In addition, I will find a woman with syphilis from the wild continent, and have sex with you, so that you will be infected with syphilis... Haha, although it is not allowed to kill the nobles, but I will let you get syphilis, and then fester and die. But it's not within the limit..." Ferdinand II carried the lines designed by Marin on his back, but he was sweating coldly - Nima, it's too vicious...

Manuel I was also stunned by this vicious plan - what, is it so scary? First, they stripped them off and tied them to a cross for people to visit, and disgraced their faces. Then, get another syphilis that festers and dies...it's so vicious...

Through this vicious strategy that made people feel chills in their hearts, Manuel I's anger was finally suppressed. Moreover, the momentum is also much weaker. Next, the real negotiations begin.

The calm Manuel I was no longer noisy, but looked at Pope Julius II calmly. Because he knew that Ferdinand II wanted to be mad at himself. After a long silence, Manuel I asked in a hoarse voice:

"Sir Pope, why are you partial to the Spaniards?"

"His Majesty Manuel, I am not partial to the Spaniards." Julius II said calmly.

"No favoritism? Africa is obviously Portugal's territory. India is also Portuguese..."

"and many more,

what do you say? India is Portuguese? Who ordered it? You? ' asked Ferdinand II disdainfully.

"Isn't it? According to the Pope's Meridian, isn't India in the Portuguese sphere of influence?"

"I remember that the reason for the division was that Spain and the former Pope thought that Columbus had discovered the real India. So, that was a mistake..."

"However, the treaty has been signed!" Manuel I said relentlessly.

"That was His Majesty Alexander VI's mistake. Later, didn't His Majesty Alexander VI also allow us to trade in India? Obviously, His Majesty Alexander VI also recognized the mistake..." Ferdinand II defended.

"But our treaty..."

"Don't open your mouth to make a treaty and keep your mouth shut. That is a wrong treaty signed on the premise of wrong understanding!" Ferdinand II was impatient with Manuel I, so he shouted loudly.

"Cough, it seems like this. I checked the information of the Holy See, and the premise of this treaty at that time was indeed based on Columbus's view of the wild continent as the real India." Since Julius II wanted to help Spain, he naturally stood Came out to assist.

"I don't care, the area east of the Pope's meridian should belong to Portugal!"

"Then what do you mean, the whole of Europe is also yours? After all, Europe is also east of the Pope's Meridian..." Ferdinand II retorted with a sneer.

Manuel I was suddenly choked, and then retorted:

"I mean the new 'discovered' land..."

...

Next, Ferdinand II and Manuel I quarreled for more than an hour. However, both sides stand by their opinions and ignore the other's.

So, Julius II coughed, and after attracting the attention of both parties, he asked Manuel I:

"His Majesty Manuel, I remember that when Alexander VI arbitrated the signing of the Treaty of Tordesillas, in addition to mistakenly believing that what Columbus discovered was India, there was another very important principle, which was to spread God's Gospel and amplifying the impact of the church."

"Excuse me, how many churches have Portugal built in Africa over the years? How many black people have become believers? Also, Portugal also has a few strongholds along the coast of Morocco. How many churches have you built and how many believers have you built there?"

A series of questions immediately confused Manuel I. How could he know how many churches the Portuguese built in Africa and how many believers they developed. Throughout Portugal, the voyage was for trade, not to spread the glory of the Lord.

Of course, there are also missionaries. However, it was basically done by the churches in Portugal themselves, and the Portuguese officials did not pay much attention to it. Even Manuel I did not know that the crown prince of the Congo Kingdom became a Christian.

"This...probably...is a lot..." Manuel I said uncertainly.

"How many are there?" asked Julius II. Julius II was obviously very angry that the Portuguese did not pay attention to preaching, which is simply disrespectful to the Lord...

"I don't quite know..." said Manuel I, with his head down.

"It's officially ridiculous. When Alexander VI told you to pay attention to spreading the Gospel of the Lord, I didn't expect that the Portuguese would take it as a deaf ear. It seems that giving them an inch of land is too much..." Ferdinand II looked aside. said sullenly.

"You are amazing, how many churches have you built in the wild continent? How many believers have you developed?" Manuel I said angrily.

"Well, I really know... Before the outbreak of syphilis, on the island of Hispaniola, we in Spain built a total of 5 local churches and developed more than 600 local people as believers..." Ferdinand II And Isabella I are both devout Catholics, but they pay attention to the development of religious undertakings.

"Cut, it's just so..."

"Hey, it's just a small island. It's not like Portugal, which occupies so much of the west coast of Africa. Excuse me, how many churches have you built and how many believers have you grown?"

"Furthermore, we also have the achievement of destroying the pagan country of Granada..." Ferdinand II said provocatively.

"Well, indeed, His Majesty Ferdinand and his wife have indeed made a huge contribution to driving the infidels out of Western Europe. Therefore, whether it is the last Pope Alexander VI, or himself, they all feel that there is no problem with Spain going to India to trade... ..." Julius II said seriously.

"India belongs to Portugal..." Manuel I still didn't give up.

"Who do you think you are? Lord of the world? You can get it wherever you want? Has anyone ruled that India must be Portuguese? Which document clearly states it?"

"But the last Pope's arbitration..."

"The last Pope also arbitrated that Spain can go to India to trade!" Ferdinand II said aggressively. He must beat Portugal today for the huge profits of India's spice trade. What's more, the Holy See is still standing on Spain's side, making him full of confidence.

Suddenly, the arrogance of Manuel I was suppressed by Ferdinand II, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while... 8)
