Chapter 361: Special Envoy
"Lord Qianhe, the leader of the thieves on the ship, but his name is Vasco da Gama?"
Li Zhaofan looked at Xu Jinzhong, and Lord Yan ordered that this person should be captured alive and brought back to the capital.
Although he didn't know how Lord Yan knew this name, he didn't dare to ask more.
Xu Jinzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know, these Francois are babbling, I don't understand." ”
Below the sea cliffs, two warships lay across the mouth of the bay.
After a round of artillery fire, there was an abrupt ceasefire.
You don't need to ask to know that in the loading of ammunition, this short moment of effort has brought the Fran machine and ship a lot closer.
However, there was a twelve-masted ship, which always stayed in the distance.
Not close to the bay, it is the main ship of the Fran man.
At this time, the large ship of the main ship of the Fran man.
Da Gama looked at Da Ming's warship with a telescope and said angrily: "Didn't you say that Da Ming's firearms are vulnerable?!" ”
The navigator Uhad on the side was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Three years ago, he had been to Daming, and the broken copper and iron called the bowl cannon was so powerful.
In just three years, how could Daming's firearms advance by leaps and bounds!
Is it possible, can it be helped by the gods?
"I don't know ...... either"
Vasco da Gama was ordered by the King of Portugal to explore overseas routes, and for two years he was invincible and plundered much of his wealth.
In Calicut, who is in the country of poison, I heard from a passing merchant that there is an island in Daming, which is extremely rich.
Coming from a family of seafarers, he read from Marco Polo's travelogues in his early years: the Orient is full of gold.
After landing, it was found that Hainan was extremely rich, with many staple foods of their country, corn!
It was planned to use this place as a camp and expand eastward.
This island is the place where the Ming court exiles prisoners, and the Ming court should not interfere.
The adjutant general persuaded bitterly: "Withdraw the army, right?" Daming's artillery is so powerful that it has already sunk one of our ships. ”
When Vasco da Gama set out, he took only thirteen large ships with him.
The rest of the ships were plundered from other countries.
Da Gama smiled: "The Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of my ancestors, I have read overseas ancient books, and all countries came to the court at that time."
But now, the sea is Manuel's time! ”
Manue was the king of Portugal, and he was so ambitious that he sent many navigators out to sea to explore.
If he had come three years earlier, he would have easily occupied Hainan.
What da Gama didn't know was that Da Ming had a royal history named Yan Chengjin, who knew everything about him.
Even the year he died is known, but the exact date is not known.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of fat, this is the truth.
Vasco da Gama was experienced: "Their firearms are loading, and now, press them all in one go!" Destroy them! ”
The ship's artillery had shortcomings, it could not cover all directions, and dead ends were bound to appear.
You don't need a telescope to see that the warship of the Francophiles is approaching rapidly, and Xu Jinzhong hurriedly said: "It's over!" ”
Li Zhaofan shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
Xu Jinzhong was speechless, this calmness, he had seen it in Wang Shouren.
These nerds are fighting like this.
The warship of the Fran machine approached, and Li Zhaofan asked the Shenji battalion to divide the fifty guns into three rounds to make up for the lack of reloading time.
"The first round of preparation, the cannon fired."
There was a loud rumbling sound that shook the sky, and more than a dozen huge iron-lead projectiles flew across the sea and smashed into the ship of the Furlong machine.
Xu Jinzhong hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and suddenly, the eight warships were damaged to varying degrees.
There was a warship, sunk!
General Hongyi is like his own mother-in-law to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and he shoots extremely accurately.
"It's a pity that the warship is captured, and it will be of great use to capture it."
Li Zhaofan shook his head and said, "Lord Yan only instructed the students to do two things, one is to load the artillery, and the other is to escort Da Gama back to the capital. ”
Xu Jinzhong muttered: "Is there such a person? ”
Li Zhaofan said ashamedly: "I don't know if I learn, I don't know until I catch the coach." ”
After a few rounds of fire, twelve Fran man-man warships were sunk.
These warships want to turn around, it's too late.
Turning the side sideways to the side, more hull was exposed, and it was sunk by Daming's firearms in one go.
Li Zhaofan looked at Xu Jinzhong and pleaded: "Please give the order, don't fire again." ”
Xu Jinzhong was stunned and shouted: "There are still eight big ships!" ”
"The students plead, let them land."
After Li Zhaofan thought about it carefully, he said: "If you want to capture the old man, let the main ship in the distance dock, so that the leader of the Franji people can be caught." ”
Xu Jinzhong scolded and scolded: "I can't catch him if he goes ashore, these Francois have firearms in their hands, we really can't beat them." ”
Li Zhaofan bowed and said, "Students have a way. ”
The sea in the distance, the main ship.
Da Gama found that the artillery had stopped and had not fired for a long time, and became excited: "There is no Ming Weapons Bureau on the island, and they have run out of gunpowder.
Wait for half a day, if no artillery is fired, we will land! ”
…………
Liangxiang,
In the Shunfeng Tooth Shop, many merchants queue up with ticket numbers and wait to place orders at the counter.
After Liangxiang became the righteous bird of the Ming Dynasty, Shunfeng Yaxing became a wholesale center.
If you want to order the goods of the workshop, you need to place an order here.
This is the rule set by Lord Yan.
Xie Yu was settling accounts upstairs, looking at the dense gentry below.
"President, I sold a house today!" The next person reports.
Xie Yu didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to knock on the plate: "What are you doing to report to me?" ”
The man cried: "Buyer...... The buyer was an envoy of the Ryukyus, and after the small one was sold, he found out that the title deed had been handed over to him...... The envoy said that he wanted to stay in Daming for a long time......"
Xie Yu's eyes widened and he scolded, "You are blind! Dare to sell to the envoys of the Ryukyus! ”
The court blamed it, and it was going to cut off the head!
He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly ran to find Zhang Xian.
More than an hour later,
Yan Chengjin knew about it, and after deducing it, he went to Fengtian Palace.
At this time, the temple of Fengtian.
Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the envoy rejected the gift from the imperial court. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised, and after a while, he put on a straight face, a little angry: "But do you think my return gift is too light?" ”
"Of course I don't dare, this person wants to settle in Daming, and he won't go back." Zhang Shengdao.
Li Dongyang and the three of them looked weird, don't go back?
I'm afraid King Shang Zhen can't think of this.
Emperor Hongzhi showed a bit of banter and said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, so I had such an idea." ”
"I'm afraid, yes, what does Your Majesty think?" Zhang Sheng asked.
Liu Jian thought for a moment and said: "Da Ming is a state of etiquette, if there is a household department, why don't you ask for begging from it?" ”
Li Dongyang felt that the Ryukyu envoys couldn't toss anything, and nodded slightly.
"Quasi-play."
At this moment, Xiao Jingtong reported: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin asks to see!" ”
Yan Chengjin stepped into the main hall, stood beside Li Dongyang, saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and said: "Minister Yan Chengjin, there is something to play, so I have to interrupt the court discussion between His Majesty and the three adults." ”
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Say it." ”
"Ma Ying, the Ryukyu envoy, bought a mansion in Liangxiang, intending to live in Daming for a long time." Yan Chengjin Road.
Emperor Hongzhi disagreed: "I know, I have only discussed with the cabinet and allowed him to live in the Ming Dynasty for a long time." ”
