When the Holy See continued to quarrel and the highest level was secretive, the Ming fleet finally slowly sailed into the vicinity of Rome.
The fleet of the Ming Dynasty is quite huge, and the Hongwu is a giant, standing quietly on the sea, if a dormant monster.
A fleet of nearly 100 ships lined up the sea near Rome.
Naturally, this caused a huge shock, attracting an unknown number of people from Rome and the Papal States, and the crowd of onlookers increased rapidly.
Naturally, it also includes the people of the Holy See, which is an unpredictable threat to the Holy See.
They had never seen such a neat and huge fleet, just outside the city of Rome.
News continued to spread to the Holy See in the city of Rome, and the number of 'lords and factions' increased rapidly, which also aroused the anger of the main war faction.
The Holy See was now in charge, and the two sides were at loggerheads, and they asked to see Pope Innocent X, but the Pope seemed to be missing.
They couldn't find it, and in the end they were helpless, and their eyes fell on Majdalzini.
Majdalzini did not give a formal decision, giving an ambiguous attitude to wait for the Pope's final decision and then not disappear.
The Holy See does not mean that everything can be decided, and the envoys from all over the country, including Spain, England, and the Netherlands, are now anxious, and they hope that the Holy See will accept the Ming Dynasty and manage a friendly relationship.
They are expanding their overseas trade, and overseas they have huge profits that they cannot give up.
Therefore, he was very concerned about the rich Ming Dynasty and Asia, and hoped to get the most profit from it.
Especially after seeing such a powerful fleet strength in the Ming Dynasty, each has his own thoughts.
With the pressure of the envoys of various countries, the Holy See seemed to have a step down, and found an excuse to order someone to go to the manor outside the city and invite Zhu Youzhen and others to enter the city.
Overseas, not far from Rome, Zheng Zhilong's fleet formed a huge fan, with the muzzle fully open, facing Rome, Rome City, and the Holy See in the distance.
Okundo stood beside Zheng Zhilong, looking up at the direction of Rome City, his expressionless face was bearded, he looked at it for a while, and said, "General, you are here, you are not welcome. ” Okundo's words are quite straightforward, Zheng Zhilong was born as a pirate, and he has spent many days in Japan, so he is not surprised by this kind of thing.
He reached out with his left hand and touched the black cannon beside him, feeling the warmth on the muzzle.
There was a sneer on his face that quietly hooked up: "General, why didn't you think about going over to level this so-called Papal State, the city of Rome?"
We know that they have been riding on your heads.
In our East, the monarch is above all else, there is no so-called pope, there is no so-called papacy, and our emperor does not need the approval of the papacy, let alone their fingers. ” Okundo's general was not called in vain, he knew something about the Ming Dynasty, he blinked, and after a while he said, "We Spain can do it, but I don't want to do it."
There have been many times when the kings of the countries were not recognized by the pope, and they ended up either being betrayed and overthrown.
Or be burned to death. ” In Zheng Zhilong's view, this is an end, but he knows very well that this is just the result of the Holy See's use of privileges, and it can only work for some small countries.
In such a big country as Spain, the Franks, and England, even if it is the Pope, the Holy See has to retreat.
For example, the Franks were on a par with the Pope before, but in the end the Holy See backed down, otherwise the Franks had countless ways to make the Holy See uncomfortable.
Zheng Zhilong glanced at Okundo, his eyes glowed with coldness, and said meaningfully: "If the general really opened fire on the city of Rome, what would you do?"
” O'Okundo reached out and touched his beard, blinked, looked up at the sky, and said, "The weather has been bad recently, the fog is big, and the vision is not good, so I may not see it." ” Zheng Zhilong had a smile on his face, it is not a matter of one or two days that these monarchs in Europe are dissatisfied with the Papal States, if anyone can embarrass the Holy See, I believe that King Philip IV of Spain in the Philippines will be very happy.
Zheng Zhilong looked at the blurred coastline in the distance, and ordered the fleet to show an offensive posture, slowly approaching the city of Rome, and bringing the shore into the artillery coverage.
This action shocked the whole city of Rome, frightened and furious.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen and others quietly entered the city of Rome.
Zhu Youzhen was greeted by just an ordinary cardinal, accompanied by a foreign bishop, John Tang, this cardinal's attitude was quite easy-going, his face was enthusiastic, but his real attitude was a real main battle faction.
John Tang was not qualified to speak in front of him at all.
You can only give a hint of a look once in a while, so that they can be cautious in their words and actions.
The city of Rome is not the most developed city in Europe, but when it comes to being densely populated, it is definitely second to none.
There were believers everywhere here, and everyone was quite curious to watch Zhu Youzhen, sitting in the high carriage, overlooking the surroundings.
Many of the disciples looked at him with friendly eyes and smiles.
The cardinal who greeted Zhu Youzhen was not good at speaking, and it was only when he occasionally saw a certain building that the statue enthusiastically praised the glorious God and the splendid history of the city of Rome.
The buildings here are generally very small, not as grand and spacious as the buildings of the Ming Dynasty, and it gives people a rather small family feeling.
Zhu Youzhen held on quietly, with more and more anger hidden in his heart.
The group came to a church, not the Cathedral of the Salvation where the Pope lived, and it looked inconspicuous and ordinary.
The cardinal confessed a few words and hurried away.
Zhu Youzhen and others held the attitude of being at ease when they came, and did not show excessive anger, so they could also see that within the Holy See, they still wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty first and then preach, which was also an old routine that they had long been accustomed to.
Tang Ruowang did not leave, and this situation has already told Zhu Youzhen that the situation is not optimistic, and the 'main battle faction' still has the upper hand within the Holy See.
Zhu Youzhen and Tang Ruowang sat opposite each other, poured tea slowly, and said lightly, "I heard a news that the Holy See sent a thousand people to conquer my Daming?"
” Europe is now the beginning of colonization, and the conquest of millions of people with a few guns is not a fake, it is a reality that happens all the time.

I don't know how many people are full of desire for the East, and there are many people who say that more than ten or twenty people can conquer the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of voice is also in the Holy See, saying that it is necessary to send a team of thirty guards to defeat the Ming Dynasty, which is also the origin of the toughness of the main battle faction of the Holy See.
But with the emergence of the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty, it was really a stuffy stick for the main battle faction in the Holy See, and it was difficult for them to speak.
Tang Ruowang looked at Zhu Youzhen, his heart was heavy, but his mouth was quite relaxed: "Please don't worry, although the Holy See has some disputes, but since you are invited to enter the city, things are probably not as bad as expected, the Pope has already spread the word, and he will receive the prince when he recovers, peace and friendship are the consistent insistence of our Holy See." ” Zhu Youzhen was full of evil feelings for these missionaries, and Zhu Youzhen had seen too much of what they had done in his book.
Zhu Youzhen ignored Tang Ruowang's words, calmly picked up the teacup, and said indifferently: "Please tell the Holy See, the Pope, this king will only wait here for three days, if the Pope does not need to see him, this king will immediately board the ship and go to the next place." ” Tang Ruowang could feel the anger hidden behind Zhu Youzhen's calm words, and his heart was even more worried, so he nodded silently and didn't say much.
Things have come to this point, and there are some things that have been said that are better than not to say. c
