Chapter 413
When the Dutch envoys in Daming were extremely angry.

He didn't know that the ambassadors of other western countries were also confused at this time.

They all hold a notice in their hands, which is the notice given to them by Daming Honglu Temple.

It is forbidden to preach in the Ming Dynasty, and it is forbidden to sell tobacco in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the moment they entered the territory of Daming, no one has ever prohibited their country's missionaries from preaching in Daming, and no one has ever prohibited them from selling tobacco in Daming.

They even regarded the smoke soil brought from the West as a luxury to pay tribute to the Ming court and honorable officials.

Now how to say ban is banned, it will cost them a huge loss of income.

The Spanish ambassador is confused, the Portuguese ambassador is confused, and the Italian ambassador is even more confused...

You must know that they came to Daming to preach for a purpose.

Although it brings a little scientific knowledge, it is more of an invasion of spiritual culture.

To put it bluntly, it is to come to Daming to develop believers.

Since the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as the state religion in 392, Christianity has become the main carrier of Western European culture.

During the Middle Ages in Europe, the church was powerful and became the actual control of Europe. The words and daily actions of Europeans were all representatives of the church.

During the period of great voyages, Europe began to lead the world. The purpose of their voyages in the world was to find wealth.

And on this basis, spread European civilization, and the best way to spread European civilization is missionaries.

During the Opium War, Europe ruled the world. They believed that China was backward and ignorant, and had no faith.

They feel that if they want to truly control China, they must transform the Chinese people's thinking and make them accept Western civilization.

Thus the best means of spreading Western civilization is through missionaries.

It is not that Zhu Youjian does not allow them to conduct business exchanges with Daming.

It's just that they are forbidden to induce the people of Ming Dynasty to join their church.

When their believers develop to a certain level, the West will take advantage of their developed believers and start interfering in the internal affairs of Ming Dynasty.

As the descendant of the dragon, no matter how many dynasties have changed for thousands of years.

However, the Han civilization has always been the mainstream, and only the Chinese civilization has been passed down to the present among the four ancient civilizations.

Whether it is the mighty Mongol Empire or the barbaric Dongyao dynasty, the Han civilization has been passed on.

Today's awesome Ah San can't stop the alien invasion.

It also cannot stop the invasion of foreign cultures, which eventually leads to the interruption of ancient civilizations.

The first invaders were the Aryans of Central Asia, who created Vedic culture in India.

Subsequently, the two forces once again invaded the Indus Plain in India.

The route is still along the route of the Aryans back then, throwing India into the abyss of war again.

One is the Persian Empire and the other is the Macedonian Empire. They also brought their own culture into India.

In the struggle against foreign aggression, after a series of conquests, a dynasty of its own - the Mauryan Dynasty - emerged in the Ganges River Basin.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon the Greeks, Cypriots, and Parthians invaded India one after another.

Among them, the Israeli Cypriot invasion was the most comprehensive, not only occupying most of the territory, but also establishing many principalities on it.

The Da Yuezhi people took advantage of the vacancy and invaded a large amount of territory in India, establishing the Guishuang Empire.

Subsequently, the Arab Empire rose again, and the Indian region was once again missed by the Arabs.

In the following centuries, a political whirlwind blew up in India, and the Delhi Sultanate was established.

Not long after the collapse of the Delhi Sultanate, the descendants of the Turkic Timur still entered India from Central Asia and established the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal Empire had not yet fully unified India, and in modern times Western powers arrived in India by sea.

After the British came, they basically didn't resist much.

Interestingly, each time these foreigners invaded India, they basically did not encounter strong resistance.

It gives people the feeling that no matter who they are, as long as they arrive in India, they are almost as if they are in the land of no one.

And every alien invasion brought their culture.

As a result, there are many religious believers in a mess in India, and even Mao Zedong quickly caught up with Hinduism at one time.

The serious lack of a common cultural and national foundation has led to their inability to fully integrate all ethnic groups.

This is also the main reason why Zhu Youjian prohibited the Western powers from preaching in Daming.

They were temporarily unable to invade Daming, so they adopted another method to invade.

As a modern person who traveled to Ming Dynasty with his golden finger, how could Zhu Youjian let them succeed.

Don't look at these western countries fighting each other, but when encountering resistance from Ming Dynasty, they will huddle together to keep warm.

After the ambassadors of several countries woke up, they immediately felt that their countries were unable to deal with the powerful Ming Dynasty alone.

So Portuguese ambassadors, Spanish ambassadors, Italian ambassadors, etc., quickly gathered together.

After some discussion, they came up with a way to fight against Daming.

They are going to unite with the Netherlands, the most powerful country at the time, to jointly put pressure on the Ming court, hoping to make Ming give up these prohibitions.

Dennis' meeting hasn't stopped yet. He first wrote a letter to the governor of Batavia to tell the governor of the situation.

Afterwards, he threw things desperately to vent his anger, scaring the other staff members of the embassy to hide away, afraid of being angered.

At this time, an internal security guard of the embassy came to report:
"My lord, there are guests here again. They are envoys from Spain and other countries. They want to see you."

"Why are they here? Isn't this adding to my troubles?"

Hearing that an ambassador from a western country asked to see him, Dennis was very angry at that time.

I was about to tell them to leave, but I changed my mind temporarily and decided to see what they had to say.

"Quick, let them in."

"Yes"

Soon there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door. Before those people entered the door, enthusiastic voices rushed into the room.

"Dennis, my old friend, long time no see, how are you?"

Before the words fell, four or five Western envoys entered the room, and the leader was none other than the Spanish ambassador Silva.

Silva had a mean smile on his face, seeing Dennis as happy as seeing his own father.

He walked quickly to Dennis and grabbed Dennis' big hand.

It's impossible for Dennis to show embarrassment to them, at least not now.

He immediately stood up with a smile:
"What kind of wind is blowing today, why did it bring my old friend here! Please sit down quickly, come and serve tea to some distinguished guests."

These ambassadors are so distraught that they don't even have the time to drink tea.

"Master Dennis, have you received a notice from Daming that they actually forbid us from preaching and selling tobacco, it's simply bullying!

The Spanish ambassador took the lead in explaining his intention, and wanted to see what the powerful Dutch ambassador could say.

But Dennis did not answer his question, but took out a notice and handed it to the Spanish ambassador:

"Compared to you, our Kingdom of the Netherlands has suffered the greatest loss this time, and I am also a little bit devastated now."

Silva took the ultimatum, only glanced at it, and was stunned.

"My God! How is this possible..."
