Chapter 316: The First Europa (Part I)
Quanzhou Port is still as prosperous as ever, and will not enter the dusk because of the fall of a small transshipment envoy, on the contrary, with the fall of Geng Jiang, a sitting tiger, without his food and card, Quanzhou Port is more prosperous than before.
This world is like this, and everyone will turn the same way.
Among the countless sea ships that cannot be seen at a glance, a sea ship flying the Ming flag but full of a large number of people who have never seen it is particularly eye-catching.
The local officials in Quanzhou have been well-informed, and people from dozens of countries, large and small, have seen them in Quanzhou for a long time, but today's ship has opened their eyes, and they heard that this group of people is from a place called 'Europa', in the extreme west of the heavens.
It was Gu Yu who was in charge of picking up the ship, and the holy oracle sent from Nanjing earlier had already made it very clear, just waiting for these so-called Europa people to arrive and send them to Nanjing immediately, and those who needed to go with them were also the interpreters who followed the ship.
Today, Gu Yu did not have a comfortable and gorgeous Su embroidered brocade suit, but chose a more heroic brocade clothes and Wei Feiyu suit, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.
At present, in Quanzhou, everyone knows that he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard in charge of the Fujian region, so he is too lazy to continue to hide.
Behind Gu Yu, in addition to the officials of Quanzhou Port, there were hundreds of young men in brocade clothes who stood tall and energetic, and this pomp also made those maritime merchants and slender men who wanted to see the excitement dare not approach, so they could only watch from afar.
"This is China?"
When the ship docked, hundreds of Europa people excitedly stepped off the boat, and the sound of chirping came and went.
"God, China's ports are so big, and Venice's vaunted trading port is more like a small fishing village than China's ports."
"Look at the ships on this sea, I'm afraid that all the warships and merchant ships in the Mediterranean together are not as many as here."
"Those are the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, look at the clothes they are wearing, they are all silk resold by the greedy intermediary merchants in Venice, they are all luxuries, and those who can wear this kind of clothes should be the rich merchants of the Ming Dynasty."
The group of Europa people was still amazed by the magnificence of Quanzhou Port and the countless ships coming and going, and several interpreters on board had already completed the handover with Gu Yu and introduced the latter to this group of Europa.
"This is my Ming Dynasty's An Ding Uncle, you can understand it as an earl, in addition to the status of a nobleman, this is also a general."
Jinyiwei is an army system, and the commander of the command is at the same level as the commander of the local guard, and he can afford to be a general.
"Your Excellency, it is our pleasure to meet you."
The expression of Westerners is very different from that of China, so naturally when the translator conveyed the meaning of this group of Europeans to Gu Yu, the young commander of the Jinyi Guard shuddered because of this meaty greeting.
"Welcome to Daming, and by the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of Daming, you will personally lead the guards to escort you to the capital of our Daming."
"No, no, no, what we need most now is to bathe and eat, instead of getting on a carriage, ox cart and other vehicles, and continue to endure the wind, sand and fatigue brought by the journey for I don't know how long to meet your king, even if your scenery in China is very good, we don't have the strength to watch it now."
One of the Europa protested, and then he saw the handsome count's face turn extremely ugly.
A barbarian from Fanbang dared to stand on the land of the Ming Dynasty and ignore the emperor's edicts?
When is eating and bathing more important than noodles?
There are tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, and none of them are dreaming of seeing the emperor, this thing is good, and they even remember to eat first.
"Do you know the sin of resisting the Holy Oracle in the Ming Dynasty?"
Although the translator could translate Gu Yu's words word for word, it was obvious that he couldn't restore the murderous aura in Gu Yu's tone, so this arrogant man didn't perceive his next fate.
"I'm hungry right now, so I need to eat, and it's not that I refuse to go to see the monarch of your country, but out of humane civility, you should allow me to fill my stomach and get plenty of rest."
There was no time to finish his words, because Gu Yu pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist.
How sharp is a steel blade that has been forged dozens of times?
In just a flick, the man who was still shouting for humanity and civilization had been separated, and his head flew into the air, accompanied by a blood mist like a fountain.
The image caused a commotion and a lot of screams, and hundreds of Europa people had their faces filled with horror and anger.
Doesn't the book say that China in the East is a kind and civilized country of etiquette?
But look at the scene in front of you, if you don't deal with two sentences, you will directly pull out a knife and cut someone's head?
If this is considered civilization, then compared to this country, the slave owners of Arabia are all considered the Virgin Mary.
"Do the laws of your country allow you to take the lives of others at will?"
Gu Yu returned the knife into the sheath and glanced around coldly: "Of course it can't be, but in our country, His Majesty the Emperor is bigger than everything you can imagine, whether it is the law or the so-called civilization in your mouth, it is impossible and will never be allowed to be higher than our emperor."
The emperor's edict is that no one should prevaricate or delay under any excuse, thinking that you are a first-time offender, and I will only kill one, otherwise according to the law of our Ming Dynasty, resisting the decree is equivalent to rebellion, and it will be punished by the three clans. ”
The group of refugees from Europa no longer dared to say more, and honestly huddled together, and began to believe what the 'man' named Zheng He had told them when they boarded the Daming ship in Arabia with great interest.
"In our country, the emperor is above all else, everything in this world, including the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, is the private property of the emperor alone, and everyone in the world, whether he is the head of the cabinet, that is, the prime minister of your country, or an ordinary peasant, is the child and servant of His Majesty the emperor."
At that time, of course, they couldn't believe what Zheng He said, what kind of jokes, how could there be such a person with unlimited power in this world?
"It is impossible for humans to have so much power except for God and the gods."
They questioned Zheng He and gave an example of the monarch of Europa.
"Even in the most powerful of the Holy Roman Empire, their kings never had absolute power.
Because under absolute power, once the monarch is not capable enough to lead the country, then the country will be weakened and in crisis, even so, the Holy Roman Empire was once in constant dispute, and had to elect a monarch capable of leading the country through a period of time through multiple elections. ”
Then, the person who made the example was thrown into the sea by the man named Zheng He.
"Your so-called freedom of speech and freedom of speech can only appear in you barbarian and remote places, as long as you are on the ship of my Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to under the laws of my Ming Dynasty, and you must be responsible for everything you say.
The God in your mouth is not qualified to interfere with my Ming law, let alone allow you to criticize our Emperor at will. ”
From the initial doubts to the present, they have completely believed it.
These Chinese, who call their country Daming, really revere and support their emperor so much.
Even if you say the wrong thing, you can have your head cut off at any time.
"Now everyone obeys my orders, assembles the whole team, and follows General Ben to Nanjing."
Gu Yu snorted coldly: "You will get dry food on the road, and when it is evening, I will give you the tools to camp, understand?" ”
Perhaps because of the bloody fright, this group of Europa people responded honestly, and none of them stood up to fight for human rights.
"What a bunch of dog-faced things, phew."
Turning around and getting on the horse, Gu Yu said disdainfully to the soldiers around him: "I originally wanted to talk to them well, but it seems that I still have to get off the horse first, not to kill someone, they really think that they are more expensive, and they have to eat and bathe first." ”
The soldier laughed twice.
"Don't look at them ugly, but think they are beautiful."
"Hahahaha."
The two of them laughed heartily, and the group of Europa people behind them who couldn't understand Chinese all looked at each other, only when the count of the Ming Dynasty laughed happily because he killed people, and his heart was even more cold.
The Chinese are terrible!
