It was a quiet afternoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the harsh winter, the Danes have not yet shed their coats to protect them from the cold, and their cheeks are red.

Most of the people on the shore were dock laborers, a few were merchants and sailors who ran the sea trade, and the rest were soldiers guarding the docks.

The dock owner was now lying in a rocking chair in his hut, lazily enjoying the sunlight from the window, holding in his hand something resembling a newspaper on which someone had made up a story to relieve the boredom of the upper classes.

He glanced up and saw that the people outside were gathered on the shore, and he couldn't help but frown curiously, hesitated for a moment, drank a long sip of hot wine, and ******** out.

"Oh, what a spectacular fleet. He said softly, receiving the soldiers' gaze, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Lord Ingle. The officer bowed to him with a respectful expression.

"Save it, Holges, your salary this month is only thirty silver coins, and you won't be given any more. He sneered, patted the officer on the shoulder, and strode toward the shore.

"Miser. When he was gone, the officer cursed at the back.

Under the expectant gaze of the wharf workers, a fleet of 200 large ships slowly approached, and everyone began to organize the women and children to disembark first, and at the same time, the mood of the workers instantly fell into disappointment.

Because there were too many men in the fleet to carry porters, it meant that the arrival of the fleet did not make them any more money.

It's over, and a crispy roast goose is in the soup.

As a result, they had an inexplicable sense of rejection for the fleet, and they rolled their eyes.

Led by the soldiers, Zheng Fei came to the dock boss, who had a habitual smile on his fleshy face and made a rather gentlemanly greeting gesture.

"Where do you come from?" asked the boss with a smile.

"Gdansk. ”

"Sure enough, isn't there another war in that place, and you guys came and fled?"

"Yes. "In addition, what reason does Zheng Fei have to bring such a large group of people into the country?

"Hmm. The boss craned his neck, saw the Spartan warriors standing on the deck to maintain order, thought for a while, and asked, "You also brought an escort, there must be very important people in the fleet, right?"

"Well, there's the Duke's daughter, and she's my fiancΓ©e. ”

Hearing this, there was a hint of surprise and a hint of respect in the boss's eyes.

"I see...... Come with me and sit down in the house, I have hot wine and fresh milk, and I'll let the servant roast a goose." ”

"Thanks, but no more. Zheng Fei shook his head with a smile, and then asked a question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Do you know where the Victory is?"

"Victory?" the boss wrinkled his eyebrows and thought about it carefully, and after a while, he finally said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it, is it the name of the ship?"

"What about the Christian?"

According to the mayor of Gdansk, the name of the ship has not yet been decided, and it may be called the Victory or Christian.

This name made the boss can't help but show a smug smile, and said brightly: "Of course~ That is the greatest work in the maritime history of our Danish Dynasty, and I heard that it has far surpassed those powerful countries in southern Europe, including Turkey, which has won many battles." ”

Zheng Fei controlled the joy surging in his heart and said calmly: "Where is it now?"

"Of course, such an important ship is docked at Navy Harbor, which has been built for more than a year, and our great ship engineer Christine said that it would take two years to soak in the sea before it could be put into the expedition. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Expedition?"

Realizing that he had missed his words, the boss's expression stagnated slightly, and quickly changed the topic: "Hey, this doesn't matter anymore, please follow me to register it, a distinguished guest like you, the Grand Duke will definitely come to meet you in person." ”

"Okay. ”

Zheng Fei followed his footsteps, his eyes staring solemnly ahead, and the word echoed in his mind: expedition.

Where could the Danish dynasty go in this era? England, France, or Spain?

In short, ambition is small.

Another clue is that Denmark's most powerful military is the navy, and just one Victory can't give the navy much confidence, and there must be other giant warships docked in the legendary naval port.

Take a night trip to Navy Harbor.

After the registration was completed, thousands of people all got off the ship, and the carriages and other goods on board were also moved down one after another and stacked on the dock.

The fleet of Gdansk was to return tonight, and the sailors and soldiers were anxious to return home, because it was too cold, the wine was too strong, and the girls were not as beautiful as those in Gdansk, and the price was high......

The arrival of a large group of thousands of people, crammed into small hotels throughout the city, did not make the Danes feel uncomfortable, because they were used to it, and every once in a while people from Gdansk came to take refuge, only this time there were more than usual.

The Kingdom of Denmark is integrated with Norway and Sweden, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, so the nobles have very large estates, and I heard that the ruler of the city is a grand duke, and there is a lake in his estate.

The birthplace of fairy tales in Denmark, it's no wonder that the scenery here is full of beauty and dreaminess, even if the ice and snow melt, there is a style that is not found anywhere else.

In the woods on the outskirts of the countryside stand small houses, where there are lumberjacks, whose daily work is to cut down ancient trees and transport them to the shipyards, where craftsmen will build the most perfect warships.

Denmark, in secret, is brewing a plan.

The Ottoman Empire wanted to be the land hegemon, it was the sea hegemon, and the one who made it all happen was the ship engineer named Christine, who came to Denmark eight years ago.

For Zheng Fei, the most important thing in front of him is to find out the pattern of the city, not only the spatial pattern, but also the humanities, society, etc., only when he is familiar with all this, can he let go of things.

At this moment, he was standing on a small hillside, picking up his binoculars and looking at the lumberjacks thousands of miles away, in the middle of which was a large open plain.

"Let's go, go over and have a look. He chuckled and rolled over and stepped onto the English thoroughbred.

"It's cold. Santiago muttered.

"You're rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and you're afraid of the cold?" said Hans, who began to talk to him again.

Only Brad didn't say a word and silently followed Zheng Fei.

"What are you doing to see the lumberjacks?" asked Brad in a moment.

"That kind of tree is great for shipbuilding, but not for building a house. (To be continued.) )
