Chapter 328: Black Society ...... The fleet of the Ming Empire, the provisional inspection!
While the old port was still being purged, Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji had been squatting at sea for three days in a row, just to catch a live pirate and see what the legendary pirate was like.
However, three days passed, and there was not a single shadow of a single ship in the entire Old Port except for the treasure ships of the Western Fleet, whether it was a pirate ship or a merchant ship.
Now that they finally looked at a ship, Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji didn't care about whether the other party was a merchant ship or a pirate ship, and they were full of thoughts about stopping each other quickly, and they must not let the other party run away.
Captain Claviyo's heart was full of dog beeps - he had wondered why the notorious pirates were nowhere to be found, but there was still such a group waiting for him!
Run, can't run at all.
As soon as the treasure fleet was discovered, Claviyo had already given the order to turn around and run away, but before the merchant ship could complete its U-turn, the fleet over there had already surrounded it.
I can't beat it.
The merchant ships were not unarmed, but they were all prepared against pirates, and in the face of the treasure ships with their sidestrings covered with cannon windows, Claviyo could not think of a second possibility other than to be sunk.
Damn, I've never heard of such powerful pirates at sea!
Claviyo watched as the other party hooked the gang of his merchant ship with a hook, watched as more than fifty pirates on the other side, who were even uniformly dressed in uniform set up a gangplank, began to jump on board the ship, and then watched as two pirate leaders who were too young to talk on the other side boarded their merchant ship.
Claviyo was tempted to rush over and question them, who they were, why they were so unscrupulous at sea.
However, in the face of the bright blade and the muzzle of the black hole, Claviyo finally fell silent, and watched coldly at a pirate leader on the other side, arrogantly shouting something he didn't understand.
"Squat down with your head in your hands! Daming Western Fleet Inspection! ”
couldn't wait to board the merchant ship, Yang Shaofeng straightened his hat that was crooked by the sea breeze, and then began to copy the scene of the black and astringent inspection in the movie.
Zhu Zhanji, who followed the boarding of the ship, carefully glanced at the stunned sailors on the ship, and said suspiciously: "These people look very similar to Gargamelva, aren't they his fellow countrymen?" ”
Gargamel hurriedly shook his head: "No, Your Royal Highness, these people are Spanish ghosts, and the Spanish flag they are flying has nothing to do with France. ”
Zhu Zhanji was a little confused: "What teeth?" Is there a country named Tooth? Is that still an ear and a mouth? ”
Yang Shaofeng glanced at Zhu Zhanji disdainfully: "Uneducated, it's terrible!" What's so strange about Spain being the name of a country?
Tell you, next to Spain there is a country called Portugal, and there is also a country called the ear that you said, and now it seems to be called Ottoman Turkey, which is as stupid as a husky. ”
"What's strange?"
Zhu Zhanji looked confused: "I know Yang Shiqi...... What's going on with this husky? Isn't it a bachelor of Western Europa? ”
“……”
I thank you for Yang Shiqi! By the way, I have to thank you again for Erha!
Yang Shaofeng didn't pay attention to Zhu Zhanji's sand sculpture anymore, but instead set his eyes on Claviyo: "Tell him that we are the Daming Western Fleet, and we are on a routine cruise in the Daming South China Sea, and now we will conduct a temporary inspection on them, let them open all the cabins, open the goods for registration, and pay the toll by the way." ”
Gargamel suddenly straightened his chest and said to Claviyo: "Listen, with the permission of His Majesty the Great Ming Empire, the Great Ming Empire's fleet is cruising in the Empire's territorial waters.
And I, the chief genius doctor most favored by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the great Mr. Gargamel, now formally declare to you on behalf of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson of the Ming Empire and His Excellency the Governor of the South China Sea of the Ming Empire:
You've entered the Empire's territorial waters, so the fleet has the right to inspect your ships, and now, have your crew open all the cabins, and when the fleet is sure it's safe, they'll let you through.
Of course, in return, you must pay enough tolls to the Ming Empire's fleet, otherwise, we can only regret your intrusion into the Empire's territorial waters. ”
Claviyo's expression inevitably tensed: "What will happen then?" ”
Pointing to the sea, Gargamel said, "For example, throwing all of you into the sea to feed the sharks, I think it's a good choice." If you swim fast enough and have enough stamina, I think you can probably swim to the nearest island? ”
Claviyo suddenly exclaimed, "No! You don't have that right! For the sake of us all Europeans, excuse me, man, tell them that I am the envoy of Spain, and that I am going to the far east in search of that mysterious and great country that will make the Timurid Khanate fear and pay tribute, and you cannot do this to me! ”
Gargamel shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm sorry, my brother, I'm from the Ming Empire now, well, the people, yes, the people of the Ming Empire, not the Europeans.
However, for the sake of being a European before, I will convey your words to His Royal Highness the Emperor of the Ming Empire and His Excellency the Governor of the South China Sea of the Empire. ”
After saying that, Gargamel turned around and put on an extremely dog-legged look, and began to translate Kraviyo's words: "He said that he was the ambassador of Spain, and that he was going to lead the fleet to the east to find the country that would make the Timurid Khanate fearful. ”
The word Timurid Khanate could be heard in the waters of the old port, and Yang Shaofeng suddenly became interested: "He knows the Timurid Khanate?" The only one who can make the Timurid Khanate pay tribute is the Ming Dynasty. Ask him, what is he doing in Daming? ”
When Gargamel's truthful translation to Kraviyo was immediately more excited: "Yes, of course I know about the Timurid Khanate, because I have been there. ”
As he spoke, Kraviyo's face couldn't help but have a hint of memory: "About twenty years ago, the Ottoman Empire, which was called the nightmare of Europe, went to war with the Timurid Khanate, and almost everyone thought that the Ottoman Empire would defeat the Timurid Khanate with a thunderbolt.
However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and Timur the Cripple soon defeated the invincible Ottoman Empire, and almost destroyed the Ottoman Empire.
At that time, many countries in Europe sent envoys to the Timurid Khanate to express their friendship, and I was the special envoy of Spain at that time. ”
Smiling self-deprecatingly, a trace of bitterness appeared on Kraviyo's face: "Of course, the so-called expression of friendship is more direct to send gold, silver and jewelry, and beg the Timurid Khanate not to attack Europe like their ancestors.
But what everyone didn't expect was that at that time, there was also an envoy from another country who also arrived in the Timurid Khanate, and not only did he not contribute gifts, but he stood up when we contributed gifts, accusing the cripple Timur Khan of not paying the sacrifice for seven years, and he even asked Timur Khan on the spot if he planned to die!?
God, do you know how worried I was for him at the time? You should have heard about the terrible of Timur Khan, if you accuse Timur Khan so much, do you know what the consequences will be? ”
Faced with Claviyo's question, Gargamel couldn't help but laugh, "Of course. If I were a Frenchman, he would have punished me for my disrespect by dragging me to death by the tail of a war horse, and perhaps attacked France, so that all of France or all of Europe would feel his wrath.
However, it is a pity that the great Gargamel doctor is now the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I still have a Ming name called Wang Ke, so even if I offend him, he will only send me away respectfully, otherwise he will die, your so-called cripple Timur who no one dares to offend.
Oh, now you can go on. ”
Claviyo didn't want to speak—
What are you pretending to be? Do you know who the cripple Timur is, you just pretend here! Still Ming? What is Daming? Da Ming can forcibly stop the merchant ship here for inspection?
However, Claviyo continued, for he felt that he could not afford to offend the clucking Gallic chicken in front of him: "Just like you describe, man. At that time, the cripple Timur not only did not get angry, but admitted his mistake to the messenger in a low voice?
At that time, Timur the Cripple said that it was because there were too many things and his country was very poor, so he did not prepare the tribute in time, and he hoped that the messenger would say something good for him when he returned, and after a while, he would definitely prepare the tribute and send it to the king of that country.
Damn, can you imagine that while all the emissaries of Europe were trembling at the feet of the lame Timur, the lame Timur was shivering at the other skinny little old man whose beard had already turned white.
All this, if you have ever read the book I wrote, "The Envoy to the East of Claviyo", then you must be able to understand my mood at that time. ”
Gargamel shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "It's a pity, my brother, that I haven't read the book you wrote.
However, I know that the mysterious and great country you are talking about, that country is the Ming Empire. Believe me, my dear brother, I won't lie to you. ”
Claviyo shook his head and said, "No, man, as much as I would like to believe you, that country is in the East, and here, not in the East. ”
"That's because you don't know Da Ming."
Gargamel suddenly smiled: "Under the entire sky, there is no one who is not a subject of the Ming Emperor, wherever there are rivers, wherever the sun and moon can shine, no one can disobey the holy and great Emperor of the Ming Empire."
Now, the fleet of the Ming Empire is here, so this is the territorial waters of the Ming Empire, and it has nothing to do with where this sea area is. If you don't believe me,"
Pointing to the ship's cannons, Gargamel continued, "Then you can ask the truth. His Excellency, the Governor of the South China Sea of the Wise Ming Empire, said that the caliber of the artillery is the truth, the range of the artillery is justice, and the location of the fleet is the territory of the Ming Empire. ”
Gargamel did not let Kraviyo mean it in the slightest: "My brother, now you should tell me what you are looking for the Ming Dynasty for, after all, His Excellency the Governor of the South China Sea of the Ming Empire is very interested in this issue. ”
