Three days later, the spring and summer trade fair in Dongxiao, Linhuang Prefecture ended successfully. It seemed that it was inspired by the Emperor of Daxia who came here in person. The trade fair was a great success. The goods worth 3 million taels of reserved by Daxia were sold out. Not only that, he also received an order for the autumn trade fair of another 3 million taels.

Of course, this includes silk, porcelain, tea and other items prepared by merchants in Daxia Country. Putting aside these items, Daxia Country's own goods also have 2 million taels, and the best-selling goods are:

Weapon kit, wine kit, iron kit.

After the trade fair, Nikan also personally met with some of the merchants or representatives of the forces who came to trade, and they were:

Friedrich William, known as the Polish nobleman;

The eldest son of Turkut Khan Kurdaiqing, Ponchuk, who was the same age as Nikan;

Ivan Bogong, the representative of the Ukrainian Cossacks in the lower Dnieper River.

These three forces were deeply intertwined and intertwined. Nikan wanted to seize some opportunities from his conversation with them. Finally, he thought about it and decided to meet William first.

When meeting these three people, they were dressed very carefully.

When he met William and Bogong, he was wearing the spring and autumn outfit of the General of the Hanhai Army, a dark gray wool short suit. The copper-made green dragon on the left and right white tiger in the middle of the musket on the wool cylinder hat with a hat brim was polished and the collar was shining.

The top is lined with five copper buckles, and a cowhide bag with copper buckles is also crystal clear. In the middle is a cowhide bag with copper buckles. On the left is a horizontal knife, and on the right is a short gun that can be fired three times. The short gun is also inserted into the cowhide bag.

Thick cotton trousers were put in long cowhide boots up to the knees. The base of the boots was made of multi-layered linen, birch bark, and gelling agent collected from the red pine. It was thick and firm, and waterproof.

When he met Pengchuk, he wore the common Mongolian hat, blue robe with sleeves, and deer leather riding boots.

Behind him, Ye Liannake and Badu stood upright in military uniforms of regiment commanders. The Minister of Commerce Luo Chengzhi, the Doctor Pan Xuezhong, and the Prefect of Linhuangfu were all accompanied by their own official uniforms.

After 1645, after the rise of Daxia Kingdom in the East, which was comparable to European powers in science and technology, culture and force, ships from Spain, Portugal and Dutch had spread throughout Europe, especially when the British mercenaries in Russia were captured in the Battle of Dingyuan, and were finally redeemed by the Tsar and returned to Britain, they were spread to India, Persia, and Ottoman through the British.

With the rise of the Great Xia Kingdom, a chain reaction has occurred in Europe, and Friedrich William, who suddenly appeared here, was one of them.

Let me mention it here that Friedrich sometimes translates it as "Frederick".

Therefore, William, who was of medium figure but was slightly strong among the Europeans at this time, had a white face with a golden hair and a yellowish freckle on his face, was surprised when he saw Nikan in such a dress. At this time, there were illustrations of Chinese or Orientals in Marco Polo's travelogues, which were already popular in Europe. With the depictions of Dutch and Portuguese, the common images of Orientals still had some impressions.

"The Grand Duke of Konesburg Frederick William, pays homage to His Majesty the King of the Great Xia Kingdom"

When William saw Nikan, who was so young and so unique, he quickly took off the high black top hat on his head, put it on his heart, lowered his body slightly, and said in Latin, the most popular in Europe at this time.

"Konisburg?"

Nikan suddenly remembered that this was the enclave in later Russia along the Baltic Sea. The name of later generations was Kaliningrad, sandwiched between Polish Lithuania.

He immediately realized who this person was.

Following this person was also a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties wearing a black and white dress. The man was wearing a pair of glasses. Looking at his expression, his temperament and majesty were no less than William. When William saluted him, he just took off his hat and lowered his body slightly.

However, the sharp-eyed Nikan still found the clue. The man's white trousers were embroidered with a cross logo - a black cross.

Nikan was silent and asked the two of them to take their seats, and said, "You two came from afar and listened to my prefect. You are very anxious to see me, but do you need my help if you have anything to do?"

The translation was originally a Hungarian who was robbed by the Crimeans and sold to Siberia. He was originally thrown into work by Xiao Chenghan in the Mias mine. Later, he learned that this person not only knew Latin but also Turkic, so he liberated him. Not only that, he also put him in the yamen to help. However, as a "slave" bought by the Daxia Kingdom, he had to work for at least five years before he could leave.

However, when Nikan discovered that this person was translating stumblingly, he immediately realized that this person probably knew a little bit of Latin and Slavic. At this time, Hungary belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, and he should know German, so he asked him to communicate with William in German. As expected, this person's German level was much higher than Latin.

So, the communication between the two sides quickly became smoother.

William replied: "Of course, as the Grand Duke of Konesburg, I sincerely invite His Majesty to set up a representative office in Konesburg to facilitate the exchanges between us."

"Representative office?" Nikan thought about this meaning, probably something similar to "consulate" and "embassy", and smiled and said, "I heard that your country still surrendered to the King of Poland. I set up a representative office in your place. What do you think of the King of Poland?"

William's face changed and he said for a while: "I'm sure you don't hide it from your Majesty. I am not a vassal state of Poland, but... but an ally of the Kingdom of Sweden."

Nikanro understood after thinking about it. It was still the thirty years of war and there was no final decision. The Baltic coast was not the territory of the Kingdom of Sweden. The so-called allies were all scenes, but they were actually the vassal states of the Kingdom of Sweden.

It is estimated that if Sweden withdrew, they would immediately fall into the arms of the Polish king.

"I heard that you bought three thousand muskets and one thousand knives. You have figured out how to transport these items to Konesburg?"

William replied: "Of course, we went from Russia to the Baltic coast, and then arrived at Konisburg by boat."

Nikan was shocked and thought to himself: "This person has indeed had a close connection with Russia. According to his identity, he probably came to ask Mikhail I for marrying Irina, and Mikhail probably agreed."

His face suddenly changed, "To be honest, how many of your muskets will fall into the hands of the Russians?"

William was also a little surprised, thinking to himself: "How did this person know that some of the muskets I purchased would fall into the hands of the Russians?"

While hesitating, Nikan spoke again, "Did Mikhail agree to your proposal?"

William couldn't sit still now. According to the information he received, there were no weapons in the goods sold to Russia by the Daxia people, but only other items, and it was obvious that he had left some hands. Most of this person had a spy in Moscow.

So he sighed, knowing that he could not hide it from him, and said, "Your Majesty has guessed well. His Majesty the Tsar did agree to my request, and half of the goods I came to purchase this time were betrothal gifts to Irina."

"It's true"

Nikan secretly complained to himself, thinking: "If this were not the case, he, a small country along the Baltic Sea coast, wanted to transport goods to Konisburg safely, which was completely impossible in this world. With the blessing of the Tsar, and the power of the man behind him could be achieved."

So he asked, "Your Majesty, can you introduce the person behind you?"

William was about to answer, but the man stepped forward and replied, "No need to introduce His Highness William. I am a businessman named Leopold William."

Nikan suddenly said, "You are the leader of the Teutonic Knights!"

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked. Since Albrecht reformed the Teutonic Knights, the Knights have no longer been an organization that openly aimed at military monks, but have all moved behind the scenes to manage huge businesses.

Nikan actually didn't know who this person was, but he was just a fraud. Seeing that this person was so panicked, he knew that if this person was not the leader of the Knights, he would at least be an important figure in it.

Can the Grand Duke of Konisburg and the Teutonic Knights, the combination of these two people, combined with their own sudden appearance, allow the Kingdom of Prussia to be born early?

And even if the Kingdom of Prussia came out in advance, what impact will it have on Europe? What impact will it have on the Kingdom of Daxia?

Nikan was also a little undecided, and finally thought: "If there were no major changes, the British would eventually rise in Europe and become the overlord in the 18th century. If there was a powerful country other than France to restrain him, the benefits would be greater than the disadvantages. As a time traveler, he would naturally be happy to see changes in history."

Although Europe is all white, it is unrecognizable to relatives when fighting each other. The population of casualties in several wars ranks among the top in the world.

In an instant, he had the idea of ​​vigorously supporting this person, not to mention that the Teutonic Knights stood behind him, and he had no shortage of money, but he didn't dare to move rashly between Poland and Sweden.

In fact, with the current level of Europe, Germany is just a mess of sand, and the development of each principality is not bad. If there is a strong support, Prussia may really come out in advance.

"You two come here"

Nikan waved to him and as the two Williams approached him, he was also extremely excited, "Is history going to be changed by me?"

...

After meeting William, Nikan met with Ponchuk of the Turgut tribe and Ivan Bogong, the representative of the Dnepr Cossacks.

Needless to say, Pengchuk reached a large number of items, including muskets and knives, with a secret agreement of about 50% cheaper than others, including transactions including muskets and knives. We also asked our Yabandida to come forward and let the noble children of the Turkut tribe take turns to Erdeni, Linhuang Prefecture, summoning temples to practice Lamaism for free, and all the fees were paid by the Daxia Kingdom.
