    ======[The rivers and lakes are in a hurry, please ask for a monthly ticket!!!]======

    Mancijia Palace has now become the place where Frangji lived.

    Today is a formal European-style banquet, so most of the food used is made by Europeans themselves. The tableware is not the copper utensils commonly used by Europeans, but the gorgeous gold and silver utensils and Chinese porcelain of the Manchurian royal family.

    The staple food of Europeans is bread, of course, but the wheat that makes the best bread has the lowest yield among the various major crops, so white bread is a food that can only be enjoyed by the rich, nobles, and privileged churches. They add wheat flour to the flour.  Milk, using brewer's yeast to make white and delicious small bread, called Queen's Bread, is now placed in the innermost part of the long dining table.

    Inuyang was sitting at the end, picked up a piece of hard black bread made of rye and oats, threw it back on the plate with a bang, and muttered dissatisfiedly to Ono Gengtian next to him: "Ridiculous banquet,  A golden saucer filled with something like this, I could knock your brains out with one blow."

    Ono Gengtian turned his body sideways, and said in a low voice: "Don't complain, how can you not bow your head under the eaves of others? We must rely on them to survive now. I heard that the people who stayed in Daming have almost been killed.  People who fled to the mountains ate wild vegetables and their faces were bruised, and even died of abdominal distension. At least we still have food and wine.¡±

    As he spoke, he took a sip of the low-quality whiskey, and couldn't help frowning: "Why not use local fine wine? This wine is like vinegar."

    "Shh, he's about to speak," the handsome pig's claw grabbed the samurai's bun and said hastily.

    Sure enough, Ezerge stood up, bowed to everyone politely and smiled, and said, "Gentlemen, I welcome you to the feast at noon today."

    He was wearing a short-breasted tights made of oriental silk, and on his expensive shawl was a Portuguese love poem woven with tiny, round pearls, shining in the candlelight, giving him a more dignified air.

    "Gentlemen," Ezeger nodded to everyone with a smile, "Tonight's feast, please drink to your heart's content without any scruples. At the same time, I need to ask for your opinions on some matters."

    He looked around at the guests sitting around the long dining table and said.

    This is a huge and complex team, including the Portuguese fleet officer led by him, the Spanish pirate captain Pedro and his men, Miyamoto Hiroshi and his eastern samurai, the native chieftains who took refuge in him, and those in the east.  The mercenary leaders recruited during the operation have complex factions, races and clothing.

    All kinds of dishes were presented one after another by the servants who belonged to the royal palace of Manzaka. Of course, the most exquisite food was still placed on the side of these chiefs.  In addition to fish and vegetables, the dishes are also mainly pork.

    Europeans in the Middle Ages were not disgusted with animal internal organs like Europeans today. In fact, they would not let go of every inch of edible part, including the uterus and bladder of pigs.  However, whether it is drinks, bread or dishes, they all have to be dyed, and the oily dark red looks very appetizing.

    Due to different eating habits, some of these people used knives and forks, some used chopsticks, and some directly grabbed them with their hands, making this magnificent palace-style feast look a little weird.

    Ezerger took a sip of the brandy processed with white wine, grabbed the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth with a smile, and said, "Everyone, please come here today. Apart from having lunch, it's about our way out.  The question of Manchuga's standing is related to the future of each of us."

    This sentence immediately attracted the attention of all factions, and everyone stopped their knives, forks and chopsticks to listen attentively to his speech.

    "To be honest, I didn't expect Ming's army to be so good at fighting. Judging from what Captain Pedro told me, the combat power of the Ming army's navy was underestimated by us. No, no, it's not an underestimate, but a complete estimate.  Wrong. Now that the Ming army has settled the East China Sea, the target will soon point here, and the news from Mr. Miyamoto Hiroshi¡¯s secret agent left on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the signs of the Ming army¡¯s mobilization also confirm this.¡±

    He spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then here comes the question, shall we fight, retreat, or find a way to seek reconciliation with Daming? Please express your opinions, gentlemen."  .

    The banquet hall suddenly became noisy, and people from various factions began to whisper.  Ezeger leaned on the dining table and quietly observed everyone's reactions, then took a deep look at Archbishop Ramario.

    His army is not a pirate, but a regular Portuguese navy, which belongs to Albuquerque, the governor of India who is known as the "Portuguese God of War".  The governor is a devout and crazy believer and interest seeker. Since he gained a firm foothold in India, his??Okay, what do you need to see the Governor?  "

    Jia Qingyou still didn't dare to sit down. He wiped off his sweat, stood there in good order and said, "Caomin is a businessman. When the cargo ship passed Mancijia, it was hijacked by a group of ghost pirates there. They detained Caomin.  The boat, asking the grassroots to send a message to the adults, and they will return the cargo ship when the news arrives."

    "Huh?" Yang Ling leaned forward all of a sudden, and said attentively, "Manthorna? Franji pirates? What news do they want you to bring?"

    Jia Qingyou gasped and said: "They said that Frangji defeated Mancijia and ruled that place. Now they know that the emperor of Ming Dynasty is quite dissatisfied with this, so they are very frightened. The Flangji country does not want to go to war with Daming for this matter.  Therefore, I want to negotiate with Daming on the issue of Mancijia. If Your Excellency agrees, please sign a letter to me, and the Caomin will bring them back to Mancijia. Your Excellency will specify a date. They are willing to send a mission to negotiate with Your Excellency in Xiamen."

    ps: Some furniture and supplies were moved to the new house today.  Although there are not many things, I think it is best to find a moving company, which saves worry and effort, but I am not in charge of the house. As a result, after moving things for a day, I am tired and my back hurts. I just pack it now.

With a shout, the daily increase of 300 votes, and 1,000 votes in three days, will catch up soon.  .  Envy, please don¡¯t hold back the book friends who have tickets, and help me, I will work hard to code, write well, make friends with books, and get your continuous support.
