Another afternoon, Xia Xun was still sitting in the courtyard of Dake's house drinking tea.
In a corner of the courtyard, under a linden tree, Don Sayre and Jeanne didn't know what they were doing, and Dark, the father who doted on his daughter, could only stand helplessly and watch them play games.
Tang Sai'er asked Jeanne to tie her to the linden tree, and under Tang Sai'er's prompting, little Jeanna checked it several times to confirm that she was tied tightly, and Tang Sai'er couldn't break free at all, so she nodded.
Tang Sai'er grinned and said, "Okay, you turn around, count to three, and then turn around Uncle Dark, and you are the same."
"These two children" Duck smiled helplessly and turned around with his daughter, counting: "One, two, three" They turned around together, and then they were surprised to find that Tang Sayer was standing behind them with a grin, the rope still hanging from the tree to the ground.
"Oh God, how did you do it?"
Duck ran over in surprise and checked the rope repeatedly, and Jeanne also grabbed Don Sayre in surprise and asked repeatedly.
Tang Sai'er said proudly: "This unbinding technique is nothing, I will test your ventriloquism in a while, if you have already practiced it, I will teach you, my master also taught me the fire escape technique, that is the highest method of this sect, I started to learn at the age of six, and I only practiced it at the age of twelve, as long as you learn it well, I will pass it on to you when I go back."
"Uh-huh" Jeanna chick nodded vigorously as if she was pecking rice, Tang Sai'er ruffled her fiery red hair, and the two of them laughed happily together.
At this time, Jiang Xu, the interpreter, panted and ran into the courtyard of Dake's house, and said to Xia Xun's eyebrows: "My lord, Gonggong Zheng is here, Gonggong Zheng's fleet has arrived."
Xia Xunhuo stood up and said excitedly: "I know when he comes, he won't disappoint me."
The arrival of Zheng He's fleet shocked the entire Mediterranean, these Orientals piloted unimaginably huge ships carrying the equivalent of a city's population, and this giant ship was simply a floating city.
Zheng He's fleet had just sailed into the Strait of Gibraltar, and the merchant ships of various countries rushed back as if they were crazy to report the astonishing news to their national authorities.
The same was true of the port of Marseille, where Jiang Xu rushed to report the news that a French sailor had brought back, and at this time Zheng He's fleet had just arrived at the port of Spain.
Twelve days later, Zheng He's vast fleet arrived in Marseille as if it were touring the Mediterranean, and the King had heard the news that he had sent an envoy to Marseille to greet the mysterious envoy from the Far East, together with the local officials of Marseille.
All the magnates and civilians of Marseille flocked to the docks, for they all wanted to see for themselves the huge ship, which was said to be like a floating city on the sea.
In order to make room for this eastern fleet, all the ships in the harbor were cleared, and the sea was empty, and in the distance, the sails that covered the sky had jumped into view.
On a high circular stone platform in the harbor, entertainers dressed in various animal costumes are performing, wild boars blow trumpets, goats sing hymns, big bad wolves play flutes, and four donkeys hold their hooves to their chests and are ready to sing.
On a flat ground in the corner of the wharf, there were women with naked, shaggy hair, and painted with oil paint, writhing and dancing, with plump breasts and fat buttocks, so that many men withdrew their eyes from the magnificent fleet from time to time, and glared at their seductive parts.
Sailors with shaved heads or turbans wandered around the docks, waiting to catch the ropes thrown from the ship and tie them to the docks.
There were also some strong men who had only put a towel on their swear, painted with gold or silver powder, and motionless in front of the welcoming procession, like sculptures.
The mayor nervously asked his secretary if the big banquet and ball in the town hall were ready.
The Bishop stood to his left in full costume, wearing a cross and holding a prayer with a solemn expression, while the judge was on his right with a white wig that had been twisted by the sea breeze.
A group of nobles wore triangular hats, with feathers on them, and they were all shy, while the ladies and ladies wore long skirts and hats with light veils on their heads, the front of which had been lifted, and the small fans in their hands shook so fast that their waists seemed to be broken.
A guard of honor wearing cylindrical hats held drums and trumpets and other musical instruments, and walked in formation and played musical instruments in a space that was pushed by the police and forced out by the onlookers.
The clowns in the crowd were not willing to be lonely, wearing top hats and their faces covered in oil paint, struggling to drill through the crowd, shouting loudly: "Watch your wallet, watch out for thieves" The crowd surged like a tide, looking at the huge fleet that was getting closer and closer, and let out an exclamation, Xia Xun also stood in the welcoming crowd at the dock, seeing the respect and awe of European countries for the Ming fleet, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.
But when he saw such a welcoming scene, he couldn't help but exclaim: "God, are these French people going to make the welcome ceremony a carnival?"
The arrival of Zheng He's fleet was like a meteorite falling from the sky and falling in the middle of the Mediterranean, setting off a shock wave more powerful than a tsunami in the surrounding countries.
During his stay in Marseille, before he could visit the capital at the invitation of the King of France, envoys from other countries had already sent envoys to meet with the envoys of the eastern country, and invited him to visit their own country.
Even Hungary, Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire, which were not on the Mediterranean coast, sent envoys, and Pope Martin V sent a cardinal to the scene himself.
A series of visits to the Ming Empire began in European countries, Zheng He talked about diplomacy, negotiated business with the caravan, and after learning about this mysterious country in the East, the countries agreed to send envoys back with Zheng He's fleet to visit the great emperor of the East.
The visit lasted about six months, and it was not until the monsoon that a fleet of unprecedented greatness began to assemble and prepare to go east along the new route.
The number of ships exceeding a thousand has become inevitable.
By this time, Venice had already taken the lead in going to sea before the nations, but they found it very difficult to completely occupy a choke point, to get the throat of the whole of Europe.
They are within the Mediterranean, they want to get stuck in the necks of European countries, and Portugal, which has a geographical advantage, can get their necks in the Strait of Gibraltar.
In order to decide the ownership of the Cape of Good Hope, after the departure of the Ming fleet, a sea battle began between them, and the already war-torn Europe fell into greater chaos.
Dake's family stood on the dock, looking at Xia Xun's fleet as they left the dock, their fleet had gradually moved away.
The small port of Marseille could not stop so many ships, and the fleets of various countries gathered in the Strait of Gibraltar, and then went to the East with Zheng He's fleet, and Xia Xun's fleet also went there to converge.
The Duck family had all their belongings, they had quit the house and were about to return to the country.
Little Jeanne looked at the distant fleet with tears in her eyes, she was reluctant to be the master like a big sister, and she was reluctant to the Uncle Xia who brought her delicious food every time she came to the house.
In her ears, Xia Xun's words were still lingering when he was leaving: "Don't worry, we will come back" "If Uncle Xia doesn't keep his promise and bring Master Sai'er to see me, when I grow up, I'll go to her myself," little Jeanne swore secretly with her pink fist.
The crowd of people seeing them off on the beach dispersed one after another, and Dark's family also left in three steps, but there were still two people standing on the beach by the sea.
The sea was blowing slowly, stirring their clothes, and their clothes trembled slightly in the wind.
"Sir, let's go back" The old man who was standing one step behind the man in front of him took half a step forward, and said with his surname on his back, this old man is that Ke Zhou.
Zhu Yunwen in front of him shook his head gently: "I want to be alone for a while" "Yes" Ke Zhou took half a step back, lowered his hands, and stopped talking. , Zhu Yunwen is only in his thirties, but he looks like an old man in his fifties, with shallow rudimentary lines at the corners of his eyes, and the gray hair on his head trembling in the wind.

He remembered that day again, that day, he knelt down in front of Xia Xun and pleaded: "This time, I won't run or hide, you can cut off my head and surrender my life to the fourth uncle, I just ask you to spare them, they are innocent" "You can't kneel, your majesty, you're the emperor."
The loyal old Ke hugged his body and cried heartbreakingly.
Although his sons and daughters did not quite understand his answer to Xia Xun, they knew that this person was going to be unfavorable to their father, they glared at Xia Xun hostilely, and the smaller blue-eyed boy ran to Xia Xun's side, clenched his little fist and beat him on the thigh, shouting in French: "Demons, robbers, get out of my house" Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes, stretched his neck, and waited for the bright steel knife to fall, he waited for a long time, but only waited for Xia Xun's words: "Taizu opened the country, with gold and jade as the quality, made sixteen treasure seals to carry out state affairs, and built three years, the emperor, you made one side of the condensing god treasure seal, so far I have a total of seventeen Ming treasure seals.
Later, the emperor entered the palace and checked the treasure seal, missing the three treasure seals of the emperor's Fengtian, the emperor's relatives, and the emperor's edict.
The box containing the three treasure seals was handed to Xia Xun by Ke Zhou, who was full of tears, Xia Xun opened the box and carefully checked the three treasure seals, buckled the box, and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Soon, there will be a larger fleet of His Majesty will come here, I suggest you go to the countryside in the near future to relax, I hope you are in France, Mr.
Ribery has a happy life."
Zhu Yunwen slowly raised his head, looking at the back of Xia Xun leaving in amazement, Zhu Yunwen sighed softly, his thoughts retracted, and when he looked at it, there was only a vague black shadow left in the fleet on the sea level.
Zhu Yunwen sighed and turned his back, leaving only a lonely back for the sea To be continued:
