Chapter 1515:Challenge

To ask who Afonso misses most these days, there is no doubt that it is Zhang Zhijie, it is simply day and night, and even in the dream is Zhang Zhijie!

Alfonso excitedly said, “See Chang Guoguo, you are finally back!”

The sight of Alfonso was carefully dressed, and he could not see his embarrassment in Beijing, but the moist corners of his eyes betrayed him.

Zhang Zhixian laughed and said, “Go to the country, so that you have waited for a long time!”Now that you have come to the Ming as promised, I will naturally keep my promise, and I will introduce you to the emperor."

When he heard that he would be introduced to the emperor, Alfonso was a little excited, but now he had more important things.Alfonso hurriedly said, "Gang Guoguo, I have brought a very important news."

Smiling, he said, “Oh, yeah?Alphonse, what news have you brought?Hope is good news.”

Alfonso said, “My lord, the Kingdom of Portugal and the Kingdom of the Netherlands have lost Goa, and they have not grumbled, but have joined hands.”

The two countries are the losing side, they temporarily put down the rift and put together their hands is not impossible, Zhang Zhiyiyun faintly smiled: "Oh?Portugal and the Kingdom of the Netherlands have joined forces, but not afraid!”

Alfonso shook his head with a heavy face: "No, no, no, Grandpa, far more than that!"Not only Portugal and the Netherlands, but England, but also Spain’s Armada!”

Zhang Zhixian heard the words of the grizzled, his face became heavy, and he said, “Portugal, the Netherlands, England, Spain?”

Alfonso nodded: "Yes, the Grandfather, Portugal, the Netherlands and Spain were completed together by the time I left, England was interested, and the specifics are still being negotiated, but there is no doubt that the Four Nations Alliance has been initially completed."

All four countries are sea power, especially Spain.In fact, the East and West will come sooner or later, because their ambitions will not be satisfied, they will covet the great interests of the East.

And after Daming has stabilized the hegemony of the East, it will certainly not be satisfied, and will set its sights on a wider place.

Now Portugal and the Netherlands have been frustrated, and then more and more powerful, eventually prompting them to form an alliance to divide the interests of the East.

Zhang Zhijie immediately paid attention to it, because the strength of the four-nation alliance is very strong, but far from the four-nation alliance of the Anguo countries.

Zhang Zhijie immediately understood the situation of a city and found that recently ships from the West are very rare, and even fewer and fewer trends.This also proves from the side that what Alfonso said is likely to be true.

And Zhang Zhijie also did not think that Alfonso would say a lie, after all, this is not good for Alfonso, sooner or later there will be an exposed day.Alfonso has fled the West, and it is impossible to escape from the East.

Although the great Ming Shui Division has developed more and more prosperous, it is still a great challenge to face the four-nation coalition.And this challenge is not small, it is not only the interest of the East, but also the interests of the whole world.

Zhang Zhijie and Alfonso discussed this matter for a while and then took Alfonso into the palace to see the emperor.

Rarely have I seen Zhang Zhijie's face so heavy, Emperor Zhengde was surprised: "What is this?"What happened?”

“King, something big is happening!The courtiers have just received the news that the Western countries are coveting the interests of the East and are eager to unite.”The sound of the chorus.

Emperor Zhengde's face also denigred, and now the great Ming Junchen is not as ignorant as before.They already have a general understanding of the world, and Emperor Zhengde also has a certain understanding of the West, knowing that although the Western countries are not large, they are all sea powers.

“Is this news certain?Specifically, what is the details?”The Emperor asked.

The beginning and end of the call to appeal Alfonso was said again, and Zhang Zhijie explained quietly: "King, Alfonso will not speak out and cheat, and the credibility is extremely high."And the courtiers were checked in the sea, and the recent arrival of Western merchant ships was very few, which also confirmed the words of Alfonso.”

Emperor Zhengde said, “In this way, the credibility is really high!”

Zhang Zhijie continued: "The Emperor, according to Alfonso, England, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain have completed the alliance."

Emperor Zhengde could not help but take a cold breath: "England, the Netherlands, Portugal are also good to say that the Spanish sea is strong and horizontal, so that the sun does not fall empire."

Zhang Zhizhi nodded sharply: "Yes, Spain is known as the Armada, very strong, plus England, the Netherlands, Portugal, if they come together, this is a great challenge for us."

“However, this is also a rare opportunity, and if we defeat the four-nation alliance, then we will not only be the hegemon of the East, but the hegemon of the whole world.”

Either way, this challenge has to be followed.There is no reason that people are still indifferent, and for the Zhengde emperor who has now tasted the sweetness of overseas suddenly gave up the huge interests of overseas, how could he be willing to do so in the previous days of suffering?

Moreover, Emperor Zhengde is also a person with a big ideal, he has long been yearning for the empire of the sun, if this time defeated the alliance of the four countries, then Ming will expand overseas, to obtain greater benefits.

Of course, the emperor of Zhengde was also very careful to deal with this challenge, and Alfonso was summoned to understand the sea power of these four countries in detail.Then the Emperor Zhengde summoned the cabinet university and held the six books together.

The atmosphere in the palace is very heavy, until very late, which has made everyone feel extraordinary.As the discussion concluded, news of the four-nation alliance spread.

Now everyone knows the benefits of opening up the sea, everyone knows how great the interests of overseas, and the officials of Jingli are all vested interests, so they are extremely concerned about this matter, and when they listen, they explode the pot.

This war not only affected the national movement of Ming, but also decided to affect their financial road.Now they have just tasted the sweetness of going to sea, wealth is rolling from overseas, they are trying to build a ship to expand the scale, at this time Westerners are suddenly coming to rob, who can bear it?

Although Zhang Zhijie is also very heavy in the mood, he will not feel panicked, and the strength of today's Ming has not tasted the power of a world war.

After returning home, Zhang Zhijie went to visit Wu'an Houfu with gifts, and was very happy for Zhang Zhijie to enter Wu'anhou.However, Wu An Hou's concern is not in Xu Guangping, about Xu Guangping, Wu'an Hou three or two words have passed, and he began to ask Zhang Zhiji about the four-nation alliance in the West.
