Hail Divine Emperor!
All Hail the Ming Emperor! Son of Heaven!
Thus began the Royal Council of Emperor Shen Zong Zhu Yiju
My Emperor, our invasion of the unholy Dalai Lama is continuing perfectly. The same is with our northern expansion into the former Mongolian Lands. Our expansion of the navy is however growing slowly. I propose that we adapt European Designs of naval vessels instead of our own designs, it would save valuable time. says the Prime Minister.
Absurd, we will NOT use European Designs unless we have to! We have already opened our southern ports to the Portuguese in exchange for Macao! If we are to survive, we must follow European ways! As in trade and colonies! The way to victory is in the seas, not in the lands. We must colonize Indies before all the lands r taken by the Europeans! says the High Military Commander.
You both speak nonsense! The true path is that of isolation and sealing ourselves off from the Europeans! They have nothing to offer to the Superior Chinese! says the Treasurer.
Silence, all of you! You all have good points, but Treasurer, is it not true that the European guns are equal and some even superior to Chinese guns, this cannot be allowed to happen! Command the missionaries in China to teach the Chinese people European Science, and in exchange allow them in to China to try to convert some Chinese to Christianity. We will not become a backwater nation!
Orders later here .
To European Nations
From China
We will allow one nations missionaries in China, and traders in our southern ports if they give us the technology and weapons of the Colonial Age.
