One of Xia Xun's ships went to Venice with Fei Yinglun, and several others sailed to Spain.
At this moment, in a distant place, a large ship ran aground on the beach, and the huge anchor was half-sunk in the sand.
This big ship is the boat that Xia Xun and Xu Hu thought had been buried in the sea, and the big boat that Ren Juying was on.
They were carried by the waves in the storm and drifted far away, and they lost their way completely.
There was no navigator on the ship, and the compass was broken, so they could only go in the direction they thought was right, but the current flowed in exactly this direction, and the wind blew in this direction, and the ship went faster and farther, and when they had walked for several days and still did not see land, they finally knew that they were going in the wrong direction.
Fortunately, a large amount of water and food were stored on their ship, so there was no need to worry about this for the time being.
They adjusted their direction, thinking they were going back in reverse, only to go in another, more wrong direction.
After another long journey, the unfortunate group was thrown into another great storm and finally thrown into this huge turquoise harbor.
Their boat had already split and leaked when it was in the sea, and when the wrecked found the ocean current flowing towards the shore, the whole crew desperately drained the water, and finally managed to survive to the shore by taking advantage of the dual effects of wind and ocean currents.
But the ship was beyond repair, it was so badly damaged, there were many huge rivets left in the sea with the broken hull, they could get wood, and they couldn't build a strong ship, because there were no rivets.
Ren Juying stepped on the soft sand with his bare feet, and shouted to one of his subordinates: "You, you, don't talk about it, call those birdmen."
The bird-people he was talking about were local natives with skin color and facial features similar to all of them.
The people here have strange language and dress strangely, they are wrapped in fur clothes, they are bare and bronze, and they wear strange hats on their heads, and colorful pheasant feathers are stuck in the hats, and the people here seem to be dressed like this, so Ren Juying is called a birdman.
The birdman, a very old man with the most feathers on his hat, smiled and walked up to him when he heard Ren Juying speak to them, nodding his head in a friendly way, followed by a strong warrior with a wooden spear, who was clearly the leader of the natives.
Ren Juying took a bite of the roasted sweet potato in his hand, and said in a rough voice: "You guys eat this thing quite sweet, it's delicious, but you love to fart if you eat too much."
I said do you still have the big yellow beans, and give us some more, we have one hundred and seventy or eighty people here, and the amount of food is not small. ” Sweet potatoes were the name Ren Juying gave him for what he ate, and after they ran aground, they were warmly welcomed by the local natives, who brought them a lot of food, most of which they had never seen or heard of.
Because the skin of this sweet potato is red, it is similar to the sweet potato in southern China, and it also grows in the ground, and the shape is similar.
In return, Ren Juying also gave a lot of help to this group of people who rescued them, this tribe was at war with a nearby tribe, Ren Juying led his pirate soldiers to participate in the battle, these local natives didn't even have iron tools, they were holding simple wooden spears and stone axes, where was the opponent of Ren Juying and others.
Ren Juying's ship was not only swords, guns, swords, halberds, but also bows and crossbows, and in this battle, they drove like rabbits, all the way to each other's lair, not only killing the leader of the other party, but also snatching back the young women of this tribe, who are now in their possession.
If it is not enough, Ren Juying has already appeased the subordinates who did not grab his wife, and when he finds out the environment here, he will take them to rob more women, at least two for each person, and now the woman who was robbed by them is in the woods not far ahead, building a wooden house according to Ren Juying's order.
However, what worries Ren Juying the most is that he has nowhere to make copper and iron, and when he learns that these locals only have a few iron tools that are said to be smelted from large stones falling from the sky, and there is nothing else, his heart is cold for half a year.
His ship was badly damaged, and he couldn't build a sturdy ship without copper and iron to make rivets, so how could he go home Although some of his crew knew how to make iron and make iron, it would take a long time just to find iron ore, and it would take the year of the monkey to make enough steel to build nails.
The old man couldn't understand what Ren Juying said, but the old man seemed to understand his gestures, and the old man took a puff of cigarette, smiled and nodded.
Ren Juying frowned and swept away the smoke that sprayed in front of him.
The people here rolled a dry leaf foam from coconut leaves, lit it and smoked it, and he was very curious when he first saw the locals swallowing the fog, and he tried it, but he choked on the cough and never tried again.
Ren Juying sighed sadly, turned to look at the calm huge harbor like a big mirror, put his hands on his waist, and muttered to himself: "What a fucking bad luck, where did I drift to, Lao Tzu will never be able to go back."
"Old birdman, here, you guys, what kind of place is it?"
Ren Juying paddled the bay in front of him, and asked the old man with the feathers by gesture, and the old man could roughly see that he was asking about the situation here.
The old man is the chief of the tribe here, whose tribe has settled here for generations, and the bay next to the home is named after their tribe.
The old man smiled happily, pointed to his own tribe not far away with his cigarette roll, and said, "Caribbean" The old man pointed to his heart again and said, "Caribbean" Then the old man pointed to the sea again, and said proudly: "Caribbean" Indian: Ren Juying, a brave and upright person, still expects to hear the name of this place, and if he has ever heard of it, he can roughly determine his location, but he has never even dreamed of this name, and he can't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Caribbean, Caribbean, spicy next door" The old chief nodded in satisfaction, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and leisurely exhaled a smoke ring.
The smoke ring is getting bigger and bigger, and Xia Xun has only stayed in Spain for three days, and the current Spain is just like Fei Yinglun said, it is a mess, it is really too messy.
And he didn't have a huge and incomparable fleet like Zheng He, but he carried a lot of treasures, and every crew member made a generous move, and even attracted some people to fight their ideas.
So three days later, Xia Xun hurriedly set off and rushed to the port of Marseille, France.
Xia Xun wanted to travel around the world here, waiting for Zheng He to arrive.
With his understanding of Zheng He, with the signposts he left along the way, Zheng He will definitely catch up.
Zheng Hezheng commanded a fleet ten times stronger than him, and it was not difficult to pass the Cape of Good Hope safely.
In fact, Zheng He hurried and hurried, and now he has reached the Cape of Good Hope.
Because Xia Xun encountered the wind and waves here, he turned sharply over the cape, and did not leave any marks here, and Zheng He's fleet had already stopped here.
While they went ashore to collect water, food, and fruits, they sent several ships to explore the way forward, looking for instructions left by Xia Xun before continuing the voyage of the entire fleet.
After Xia Xun's fleet arrived in Marseille, it caused a sensation, Xia Xun's fleet did not have Zheng He's super giant treasure ship, although the hull was usually larger than that of European ships, but it did not cause much surprise, what was surprising was that this distant fleet was actually all a pair of oriental faces.
Since Genghis Khan's army reached the Danube by land, this is the first time that Europeans have seen so many faces from the East at once.
After a brief meeting and deliberation among the magistrates and nobles of Marseille, they decided at once to meet the captain of the fleet from the East, and they urgently needed to find out how this sudden fleet had come from the East.
Unfortunately, they pounced, and the commander of the flotilla had already gone ashore to inquire about the people on board, and the reply was: "No comment" Xia Xun had never been to France in his last life, but not only came in this life, but also medieval France, Xia Xun was full of curiosity about here.
Xia Xun didn't take Su Ying and Tang Sai'er, although he believed that the security here should be much stronger than Guli, but it was better to investigate first, he didn't want to loot the palace here again, and then lead the entire Mediterranean fleet to chase him down, and escape into the Atlantic.
His interpreter is almost useless here, but fortunately, because the footsteps of Arab merchants are all over Europe, there are many people here who know Arabic, and Jiang Xu, the interpreter, knows Arabic, so Xia Xun asked him to hire a guide and translator, as long as the other party knows both French and Arabic, plus his interpreter, he can also communicate.

The interpreter went to find someone, and Xia Xun stood on the dock and waited, admiring the different and oriental customs of this place.
After a while, Jiang Xu walked back excitedly and shouted: "My lord, my lord, I found one, and he can actually speak our Chinese."
Xia Xun turned his head to look, only to see Jiang Xu striding over, followed by a tall Caucasian man, wearing a cloth shirt of the local poor people.
His hair is unkempt reddish-brown, and his facial features are rough, if you look closely, he can be regarded as Zhou Zheng, but his facial features tend to concentrate in the middle.
And in the middle of the facial features, the tall and big nose is even more prominent, so at a glance, you will only notice his big nose.
With unkempt reddish-brown hair and a large nose, it looks like a chow chow from a distance.
The red-haired "Chow Chow Chow" greeted Xia Xun with a smile on his face, and introduced loudly in his somewhat stiff Chinese: "Hello, respected gentleman from the Far East, my name is Jacques Dack, may I ask the gentleman's honorable name" To be continued:
