Chapter 408: Copenhagen
A few days later, one morning with birds singing and flowers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Denmark, the kingdom of ice and snow, has finally smelled the breath of spring, how precious it is.
The beautiful season is coming, and the Danes have more smiling faces, and they can finally go out without wearing big padded jackets and huddle in their rooms all day to cook on the stove.
On top of that, after the cold winter, fishermen can finally go out to sea to catch fish and bring back a delicious seafood feast for everyone.
In the past few days, the map in Zheng Fei's hand has been integrated, and during this period, he also bought a cargo ship and went to the sea to approach the naval port, but it was stopped by a patrol at a distance of about twenty nautical miles, and it seems that the sea area around the naval port is blocked for twenty nautical miles.
The plan has taken shape in Zheng Fei's mind.
The armed configuration of the patrol is really not flattering, several small ships, each boat has a cannon and a dozen soldiers, and the soldiers are equipped with cold weapons.
The reason why the force is so weak is because the naval port was originally a secret base built in a remote area, not many people know its location, and the Danish Dynasty has been war-free for many years, and the military is relatively strong, and no country in Northern Europe has the courage to take the initiative to attack it.
As for the pirates, it was even more unlikely, because of the sea power of the Danish Dynasty, the pirates did not dare to approach its core territory in the southern part of the Baltic Sea, but would choose to go to the northern part of the Baltic Sea and rob the caravans that traded mink and fox skins.
If we take 10,000 steps back, even if someone dares to attack the naval port, who will be able to defeat it? There are the strongest ships and artillery in the world, even if they are used to crush the invincible Ottoman Turkey, it will not be a problem at all!
In such an environment of absolute security, the Danish dynasty did not want to waste troops on patrols, but instead devoted a large number of soldiers to training and preparing for the expedition.
And such negligence also became the only way for Zheng Fei to raid the naval port.
The main force of the raid, naturally, was Sparta.
However, before all this can be done, he must first go to Colombia to find the architect behind the expedition, the ship designer Christine.
Because once the raid is successful, the Danish dynasty will inevitably fall into great chaos, and if you want to find someone at that time, I am afraid it will be troublesome.
Early that morning, after a hearty breakfast, he set out with a group of buddies on a journey to Copenhagen.
A day later, arrived.
As the largest country in Northern Europe of this era, the capital of the Danish dynasty was truly extraordinary, and in some ways it was as prosperous as Istanbul.
It is located halfway between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, and due to its geographical location, caravans from all the major ports in northern Europe pass through.
Here you will find diamonds from Antwerp, tulips and milk from Amsterdam, textiles from Manchester, and much more.
Copenhagen is the cultural and economic center of Northern Europe.
Entering the city and riding in a canopy carriage, Zheng Fei browsed the buildings and storefronts on both sides of the street, and noticed that there were many soldiers, one almost every few tens of meters.
This time he also brought the poet Terry to act as a translator, although there were people from all over the Nordic countries, many of whom could speak Latin.
As soon as they got out of the car, they slipped into a tavern that looked quite imposing.
No, I'm here to inquire about things.
In every city, the tavern was a gathering place for all sorts of people, including the children of the upper classes, negligent officers, merchants and sailors from all over the world.
As a result, the tavern owner became the most knowledgeable of all, listening to the insiders of the guests all year round, and his ears could always probe what others did not understand.
As soon as he entered, Santiago went straight to the counter and posed a dozen gold coins in a dashing manner: "A few pots of good wine." ”
The boss looked surprised, hurriedly picked up the gold coins and put them away, and said with a smile in Latin: "Okay, send it over soon." ”
After choosing a corner, Zheng Fei and the others sat down.
"Ah, it feels good to be rich. Santiago sighed beautifully.
"It's not your money, the captain gave it. Hans gave him a blank look.
"What's the matter, a fight?"
Seeing that the two were about to pinch up again, Zheng Fei waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, forgot what I told you a few days ago?"
The two stuck out their tongues and smiled in unison.
At this time, the boss personally brought a few jugs of wine over and put them on the table.
"Roast beef with sherry baked peas with salt, please enjoy it slowly. "The boss made a gesture of invitation with a gentlemanly demeanor.
Zheng Fei had something to ask him, but of course he wouldn't let him go, so he opened the topic: "Boss, I feel like you are a nobleman." ”
The boss smiled knowingly, and Nunu said: "Yes, I am indeed a nobleman, but I am only a baron." ”
"Then do you usually come into contact with the nobles of this city?"
"Of course, a lot of people from the upper echelons are willing to come to my tavern, and even His Royal Highness the Prince, who like my sherry and roast beef. ”
"I'd like to ask you about someone. ”
"Okay, please. ”
"Christine. ”
Hearing the name Christine, the boss was stunned for a moment, then craned his neck to look around, leaned over and whispered: "Remember, don't call Christine by the name here, when you have to say it, please add great Christine in front of it, pronounce it as great Christine." ”
"Oh~ Why?" Zheng Fei frowned slightly.
"Because it's not just the king's name, it's also the hero of our Danish dynasty, the ship designer Christine, who is held up as a legend and must be respected. ”
Zheng Fei nodded and paused.
"Well, great Christine, where does he live?"
"A place where no one can enter, the royal palace, it is said that there are more guards to protect him than the king. ”
"Then he doesn't usually come out?"
"If he doesn't come out, if he wants something, the king will send for him in the streets, even if it's a woman, and he's entitled to any girl, as long as he likes it. ”
"Never...... Don't you come out?" Zheng Fei couldn't help but glance at Brad.
If this Christine never leaves the palace, things will be tricky.
The boss rolled his eyes and thought about it, but he couldn't give an answer for a long time, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Oh yes, he attends an annual party at the Central Castle, where nobles and generals come from all over the world to get the people in the mood for a boost. ”
"When is the evening party taking place?"
"Half a month later. ”
After answering, the boss's face gradually became less clear, he looked at Zheng Fei for a while, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you asking this?" (To be continued.) )
