"They call this place Tessie."
"They're confident, but they're also vigilant."
"That messenger's voice is sharp, it should be the legendary chamberlain, but it is very solemn......"
In the palace, the king looked at the prince whose face was still a little purple, and said: "They are here to explore the way, but they have a strong force, Henry, you have been running the voyage, tell me, how do we compare with the Ming Dynasty?"
” The prince said with some distraction: "It's not good, we can't match it."
Those four ships are powerful, and their weapons should be iron balls, and we need to see what those weapons look like, or we won't be able to outdo them. ” The king digressed and said, "They want to move on, there is Frank over there, war is going on there, and their arrival will stop the war, which is not good news for us." ” "Frankish ......"
The prince said in a trance: "One of their ships has entered the strait, father, and they will come into contact with more places." ” The king was not worried at all, he said: "It is only a matter of time before the route is found, so don't worry about my children, there will be more people who will find out about the Ming Dynasty, then there will be more eyes on them, not friendly." ” "I told you before that friendliness is the most precious quality in the world, and from my position, friendliness is a stupid quality that we should not have."
The prince nodded, and said, "Their ships are stronger, more suitable for long voyages, and their weapons are so sharp that we are in awe of the gods, Father, and we must get one of the two, or we will always be behind." ” The king took a sip of tea and frowned: "It's too much, those Ming people said that it should be in moderation and waste!"
” He sniffed the tea carefully and admired.
"They didn't allow our people to get on the boat, which was hard to ......"
The king stood up with his teacup in his hand, making no secret of his fondness for tea.
"We're not strong yet."
The king playfully said: "You like to explore, this is a good thing, we need new land, the whole Tessie needs new land to feed more and more people, that damn epidemic still does not make this hardship less, this is God's punishment for people, go, okay, we will be stronger and stronger." ” … "We've been here for too long, and there's still no news from the ship that entered the strait."
The exotic scenery of the sea and sky makes people feel novel.
On the docks, the ships were far away, and some people were looking at them greedily or fearfully.
Of course, the Akito is also the object of their observation, even including the gestures of the Akito.
"Father-in-law, we need to move on, or do we need to go find them?"
"It's time for them to come back!"
Hong Bao looked at the people who were peeking at this side coldly, and said: "Going to sea is military discipline, they won't be late, get ready, let's leave in a few days." ” Lisbon was the first stop, and during this time they not only finished replenishing and tinkering, but also completed their exploration of the city.
"Their king is mediocre and not outstanding, but that prince has a far-reaching vision, and our family ......"
Hong Bao's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Xing Hebo said, and our family agrees, whoever controls the sea in the future will be the master of this world." ” "What is that prince who has made such great achievements that he does not fight for the throne, but goes to another place alone, trying to find a new place and a new route to the sea?"
Hong Baoyin said: "Can you do it?"
” Zhang Wang said eagerly: "Father-in-law, then try it?"
” Hong Bao nodded and said, "Don't be afraid of anything, it's nothing if it's discovered, it's a big deal that our family ordered the destruction of this city." ” After discovering the strength of the city, Hong Bao was full of confidence, and felt that a thousand households, plus so many artillery, would definitely be able to dominate the foreign land.
Zhang Wang said in a low voice: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the people here ......
Far from it. ” Hong Bao nodded, and Zhang Wang went to make arrangements.
As an envoy, the king was very polite to Hong Bao, and every day people came to ask him what ingredients he needed, and what the king had eaten before, he brought Hong Bao a meal of the same kind.
It's just that Hong Bao couldn't stand the cooking methods here, so he politely refused.
The early summer sun makes people lazy, and the people on the ship take turns to rest and enjoy the rare peace.
"Father-in-law, over there, look over there."
Someone turned around at the bow of the ship and shouted.
Hong Bao looked sideways and saw three boats coming slowly.
This was not surprising, but several boats on the dock immediately pounced like watchdogs.
"Call someone out."
Hong Bao looked at this scene with interest, looked at the flags hanging on the three ships, and said with a smile: "Is this the enemy here?"
Ho ho!
Let's get ready and watch the excitement. ” Those who were resting the crew and sergeants gathered.
"Get out of the docks!"
Someone untied the cables, and three warships and two grain ships slowly raised their sails and began to leave the shore.
After discovering that Akito had left the dock, someone rushed over and kept shouting.
"Father-in-law, someone called us."
Hong Bao didn't even look at it, stared at the three ships that were slowing down, and said: "It's not from one country, let people pay attention, our supplies are full, and if the momentum is not right, leave immediately, and then clean them up." ” The officials on the dock shouted mournfully, but several boats gradually left.
The three ships did not resist, but only negotiated with the ships that came to inspect them.
The people on the boat were staring at Daming's ships, their eyes burning.
"Franks, you should be fighting the Plantagenet at the moment, not going to Lisbon to see the women!"

When an officer saw that the sergeants who had come out of the cabin were shaking their heads, he sneered: "Go back, this is Lisbon!"
” A Frankish official said: "Frank and Ming have a traditional friendship, and by order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are here to greet the Ming envoy." ” "A bunch of wild dogs looking for food, the tails are actually wagging up!"
This kind of demand is very legitimate, and naturally it cannot be intercepted.
So Reece himself was depressed and sarcastic, and some even compared the Franks to foxes who were flattering lions.
So the three ships approached Akito's ship.
"Let them go."
Reese himself did not remind anything, counting on the Franks not to understand the Great Ming Language, and then to be directly sunk by that weapon.
"They are as shameless as fools, what kind of traditional friendship, the Franks almost destroyed the country, the Ming people are far away in the East, if there is any friendship, as long as there are ten ships of this kind, the Plantagenet people will not be pleased!"
"Look, look, they're ......
Hey!
Where did they find an interpreter?
” You must know that Lisbon was able to find interpreters, because their prince was very ambitious overseas, not only focusing on the research of shipbuilding and navigation equipment, but also finding many interpreters in various languages.
But the Franks were too busy to take care of themselves under the attack of Plantagenet, where did they get the interpreters?
"They were premeditated!"
Immediately someone went to the lord of the kingdom to tell him.
The Franks definitely had a mole here, and they took the ship back to report it.
"The Frankish envoy has already set off, if it goes well, it should have arrived in Daming by now, yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of good feelings for Daming, so he sent us to greet the Ming envoy."
An official said these words to Hong Bao respectfully, and then translated them.
Hong Bao's heart was overjoyed, but he said lightly: "Frank......
What kind of country is this?
”
