This sentence made something different appear in the king's expression, which looked like indignation and unwillingness. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He is very young, younger than Zheng Fei.

He clenched his fists and looked out at the quiet and serene Thames with an indescribable resentment in his eyes.

"You know what. After a while, he came up with such a sentence.

Medieval England was full of strife and war, especially after the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France, the situation was even more chaotic.

As the king of England, it is indeed not easy to govern this kingdom well.

Whenever there was no one in the middle of the night, the king would not be able to sleep, and he liked to stand at the bedroom window with a glass of wine, staring at the starry night sky in a reverie.

Sometimes he wondered why he had to be this king, and at the same time gain endless glory and power, he lost the most important thing to everyone, which was happiness.

How he misses the days of his youth living on the manor, plain and warm, as time passes, his ambition grows greater, and the most genuine happiness is farther and farther away from him.

Zheng Fei's words brought him back to sadness, and he quietly looked at the Thames and sighed.

"Ahem. Zheng Fei hesitated, but still said, "I'm sorry." ”

"Nothing. The king smiled and raised an eyebrow at him: "Actually, you are a good man, better than many, many famous nobles, at least you did not let the army enter the city to plunder, and our so-called ducal family completely disregarded the life and death of the people in order to grab power and wealth. ”

"Thank you. Zheng Fei paused, glanced at Santiago, who was munching on beef, and said, "Believe me, one day England will stop the civil war." ”

"Why?"

"Because you don't need war anymore, those families will point the finger at the outside world for more profit. ”

"Outside?" the king furrowed his brow in confusion, not understanding what it meant.

Zheng Fei shrugged: "Okay, I'll just say so much, start helping me prepare those two thousand ships and supplies, the sooner the better." ”

The king nodded, then took a deep breath and said to the personal guard next to him with a solemn face: "Send someone to inform the reinforcements from all over the country, no need to use it." ”

The guards were ordered to leave, and the king seemed to have a premonition that Zheng Fei was going to ask something, and explained with a wry smile: "It's better for my army to stay in various places to suppress those nobles, all you want is two thousand ships, and they want the whole of England." ”

"Thank you for your candor. Zheng Fei smiled: "Let's go, the rotten smell here is not very fun." ”

After that, he looked at Santiago again: "Fatty, do you want to stay here and continue to eat or go out with me?" ”

Hearing this, Santiago immediately wiped his mouth and stood up, burping: "It's full!"

After leaving the Tower of London, the king led Zheng Fei to the royal carriage that had been waiting outside for a long time, and rushed to the various port docks to announce the news of the requisition of ships.

Those merchants from all over Europe wanted to rebel, but they were just shouting, how dare they really do things.

They had to accept a large amount of requisition, find a random hotel in London for a few days, go shopping, and wait for the royal family to send a fleet to take them home.

By evening, all the docks in London had been exhausted.

As the sun sets, it slowly falls into the Thames River that stretches into the distance, the river flows quietly, and countless large cargo ships line up on the shore, waiting to be delivered.

The next few days are going to be the busiest days, and a lot of supplies need to be carried on the ship, after all, the voyage to the Americas will last a month or two, and you will have to carry enough staple foods such as wheat and oats, citrus and other fruits to prevent scurvy, as well as daily necessities such as medicine cotton yarn.

As for beef and mutton, just bring less to satisfy your cravings, after all, they supplement protein, and the most important thing at sea is protein, and it is a large piece of it when you go down the net.

The golden afterglow is fading, the night is approaching, but the porters on the dock are extremely busy, this is a rare opportunity to make money, and no one wants to go home early.

Standing on the shore, in the evening breeze, the king gazed into the distance with his hands folded and wistful.

"Hey, can I ask you a question. He said.

"Just ask. I don't know when Zheng Fei didn't hate him anymore, although he had tripped himself up.

However, perhaps every bad guy has unspeakable suffering.

Like the king of England, who was not called great, he tried to govern the country well, tried to quell the border wars and the strife of the major nobles, and tried to make England an empire that could rule all of Europe.

It was precisely because of this that he became greedy for Zheng Fei's super fleet.

"Who the hell are you?" the king twisted his head and stared curiously at Zheng Fei's side face.

"I don't know how to answer because I don't know what kind of answer you want. Zheng Fei smiled bitterly.

"Well, then let me ask you in another way, why do you have such a fleet, and why can you unlock the code on the stone gate to get the sword of the king?"

There was a long silence.

At night, the evening breeze rippled across the river, and the porters on the banks of the river shouted to give themselves a boost and carry boxes of heavy cargo onto the deck.

"Because I'm not like you, I'm not like all of you. The corners of Zheng Fei's mouth rose, took out the wine jug pinned to his waist, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

"Well, you still haven't answered my question. ”

"Don't talk about this, one day you will know who I am, I hope you will live until then, and I hope you can make the glorious era of the British Empire come sooner. ”

"The glorious age of the British Empire?" the king wondered.

"Hmm. Zheng Fei sold a pass, raised his feet and left.

"What do you mean?" muttered the king, looking at his back.

Zheng Fei carried a flask and walked along the banks of the River Thames.

The secrets of the New World of America cannot be hidden forever, they will always be discovered by intelligent people, and the moment it appears in front of the Europeans, it is the beginning of the arrival of the new world, and the pattern of the whole world will be changed as a result.

The Portuguese Spanish Empire, the Coachmen of the Sea, the British Empire... Their emergence is an inevitable trend of historical development, and no one can stop it.

And Zheng Fei knows that what he needs to do now is to hurry back to the Americas to accelerate his development, and establish a huge power before this secret is known to the Europeans, only in this way can he survive in the frenzy of carving up the world.

This era belongs to the ocean, to the brave who dare to take risks!
