Xingzi was dressed in a golden embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern, and the regulations were completely in accordance with the ritual specifications of the prince and concubine, and all the makeup and makeup were given by the palace.

The entire process of the wedding was to be escorted by Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu to Kyushu Island by car, and the Ming side would also be escorted by a hundred households led by Lin Huanyu and Qin Yuanjiu.

It was not until after Kyushu Island that the Governor of Kyushu Island, Shen Hao, joined the people of the North Sea Fleet, plus Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu, escorted Xingzi to Denlai, and then transferred to the imperial train from Denglai to the capital, completing the most important part of the entire wedding.

On the ninth day of March in the eighteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, it is advisable to get married, travel, avoid breaking ground, and set up a stove.

The carriage parked in front of the palace gate of the Wa King was not prepared by the Wa Kingdom, but was driven by the prince transported by the Ming Dynasty - four tall horses were two red and two yellow, the yellow horses were located on both sides of the wheel, and the two red horses were located on the outside of the yellow horses.

This is completely in accordance with the specifications of the sixth son of heaven and the fourth prince stipulated in the "Zhou Rite", and even the color is exactly the same as that stipulated in the Zhou Rite.

To the horror of the Wakoku, the height of the four horses was exactly the same, and any good horse was much taller than the height of Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Such a tall horse, even if it rummaged over the entire Wa country, did not want to turn out the same four - especially the good horses without a trace of variegation.

As for the carriage pulled by the good horse, it was even more spacious, and even though Xingzi boarded it with the maid, there was still no trace of crowding.

On the way from the palace of the Japanese king to Kyushu Island, Xingzi didn't say a word, and there was no joy or anger on his face, as if he was like a marionette, and he acted safely according to the arrangement of the Ming courtier.

It wasn't until she landed on the Ku page from Kyushu that Koko understood that what Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu had been saying to him was not an exaggeration at all.

How could such a tall warship be on earth? If it's just one, it's fine, but in front of you, there is a complete fleet at all, and there are three fleets of the same size!

As for the royal train boarding from Denglai, it is beyond the scope of the cognition of all Japanese people - if the treasure ship can barely be imagined, the train does not even leave room for imagination!

Even Tokugawa Iemitsu had come to Daming, but he had never seen a train, let alone other Japanese people.

After glancing at Masahito, Tokugawa Iemitsu boarded the train with Masahito.

And the most direct feeling of the entire royal train to the Japanese people such as Xingzi and Masahito is that it is extremely fast, there is no need to stop to rest, and it is extremely stable.

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had been in the military for a long time, was more sensitive.

The soldiers can sleep on this kind of train, and as long as they reach the destination, they can get off the train and start the war, and there will be no more saying that the general will be pouted when he runs thousands of miles.

What surprised the Japanese people even more was after arriving in Jinan from Denglai.

The Yellow River, the mother river that gave birth to Chinese civilization, is not only known to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also to the people of the Japanese Dynasty.

It is not a pontoon bridge, but it is not very difficult, as long as it is connected by small boats or large boats, and then laid with wooden planks and a horizontal rope can be considered completed.

But this kind of bridge, which is level with the embankments on both banks, is several feet wide and more than ten miles long, and can allow trains to pass through it, is no longer something anyone can imagine.

After being silent for a long time, Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at Zhu Hui, the sect member of the Zongren Mansion opposite, and asked, "Iemitsu has something unclear, I hope Mr. can give advice?" ”

Zhu Hui, a member of the sect, accompanied Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu into Beijing since Denglai, and said with a smile when he heard this: "What Mr. Tokugawa wants to ask is this Yellow River Bridge, right?" ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said, "Yes, Iemitsu is actually curious, how much manpower and material resources will it cost to build such a bridge, and how long will it take to build it?" ”

Zhu Hui said with a smile: "This official is an official of the Zongren Mansion, and he really doesn't know much about this bridge. However, since Mr. Tokugawa is interested, let's tell me what he knows.

The bridge began to be built in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and it was not until the autumn of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen that it was about to be completed, costing more than 10,000 taels of silver, and about 200,000 manpower. ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu and Masahito glanced at each other, both feeling the powerlessness in each other's eyes.

200,000 people used to build a bridge, 10,000 taels of silver, and a bridge more than 10 miles long and about 3 zhang wide, these are no longer imaginable by the Japanese people.

In the prince-level carriage where Xingzi was, Xingzi, who had temporarily removed the hijab, was also observing all this.

Xingzi knew in his heart that these grandmothers of the Ming Dynasty and the guards and others respected themselves only from the identity of the princess of Liao, not the identity of the queen of the Japanese kingdom.

In other words, if you don't have the identity of Princess Liao, then these people probably look down on you.

But what can be done about it? They have the right to look down on anyone, as the people of the Celestial Empire, they can be wantonly proud, they can face any foreign race with their nostrils turned to the sky, because they have a powerful country behind them to support them.

Everything you saw and heard along the way proved this.

Those Western barbarians who had seen it before bowed their heads in front of the Ming people, and they wanted to make way for the people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they were only facing a civilian.

This feeling of powerlessness and admiration reached its highest point after Xingzi and his party arrived in the capital.

It seems that the capital city that has been entrenched in heaven and earth since ancient times is full of people, whether it is the Ming people who held their heads high before, or those cautious Western merchants, all of them are retreating, all of them are making way for their cars, and a large number of officials are dredging the roads in the city, just to ensure that their frames can reach the imperial city smoothly.

All of this has never been seen in the Wa Kingdom, and no one can even imagine it.

The wedding is a normal wedding ceremony for the prince, and after the wedding, he went to the Liao Palace, which was even grander than the palace of the king of Wa, which brought great pressure to Xingzi.

In the future, she will be the mistress of this palace?

Zhu Cixiao has no interest in Xingzi, his dignified eldest son actually married a foreign barbarian as a concubine, this is simply a big joke!

Even if it was for the sake of a large piece of land in the Wa Kingdom, even if marrying Xingzi could bring countless benefits to himself, Zhu Cixiao was still unhappy in his heart.

If you want the land of the Wa Kingdom, you can bring troops to get it in the future, why should you let yourself marry a barbarian princess?

After the wedding, Zhu Cixiao took Xingzi and Mao Wenlong and others back to Sakhalin Island.

Compared with the land of the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Cixiao cared more about whether Zhang Xianzhong and others could find any big land or other good things after they sailed.

After all, Sakhalin is its own fiefdom, and if there is anything good, it will not be missing its share, but what the Wa Kingdom is waiting for itself to get is something that is left there, and there is nothing to care about.

Mao Wenlong and Zhang Xianzhong once again organized a large fleet and once again began to sail eastward.

On this voyage, Zhang Xianzhong and others did not care about the wild men who played with wolves, but repeated the route of the previous voyage, starting from Sakhalin Island and heading east.

Thanks to the addition of several supply points along the way, the fleet led by Zhang Xianzhong this time finally found a piece of land - after exploring for nearly half a month, there was no end, and this should be a continent rather than an island.

There are very few traces of human life on this continent, but some people have proved that there must be labor here, and there is value for continued development.

As for whether the "workers" here will also play wolves, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't care.

Unlike the big island last time, the value of the land is much higher than the island, and it doesn't matter if someone plays with the wolf, it's a big deal to kill them all.

After leaving behind a guard soldier and a large amount of supplies, Zhang Xianzhong once again ran back to Sakhalin with the fleet and continued to transport troops and materials.

Zhang Kewang led more than 5,600 people from a guard and began to dig a pit on this land.

First of all, I found a few places where there were no traces and dug a large number of things from the Yongle period and the Tang and Song dynasties to dig and bury them - this is the experience summed up by Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, and others.

Then they began to build cities, build houses, and reclaim the land—the whole fleet brought a lot of seeds, and some of the crops on the ship itself had already sprouted, so they simply made a piece of land to plant.

It's not okay not to plant something, even if the city is built high and big, it feels uncomfortable not to plant something.

……

"Barbarian! Barbarians! ”

The news brought back by the panting scout made Zhang Kewang, who was farming, overjoyed.

I have long found traces of people living here, although those traces are pitiful, proving that there are not many barbarians here, but for Zhang Kewang, it is not a day or two to wait for the barbarians to come.

After gathering all the soldiers, Zhang Kewang stood at the front of the team: "Listen to the damn listen, now there are barbarians coming to our side, and finally someone has come to help us build the city, all of them are fucking dead!" ”

Zhang Kewang's words caused the soldiers to burst into laughter.

If you can fight, only those who have enough to eat are willing to be craftsmen to build cities - obviously they haven't learned this skill, and it's okay to build some thatched huts and other things temporarily, even if you build a city, you can't do it at all.

As for the craftsmen who can build the city, it is estimated that they will have to wait for the fleet to return from Sakhalin before they can bring it, and before that, they will have to find a way to solve the problem of falling off by themselves.

Now that there are barbarians, the work of building cities and building shelters can be thrown to these barbarians, and they can concentrate on cutting people and making military achievements.

Jackson Cartier and his men were a little confused.

Didn't New France be discovered by his own father? How could anyone else be here? Looks like they're planning to settle here too?

No, the great King of France has not yet agreed to let you live here, and you had better lead the great Cartier family to the Far East - don't think that the great Cartier doesn't know you, you must be from the Far East!

The barbarians on the opposite side showed a certain demeanor, or the meaning of communication, which made Zhang Kewang also very confused - why don't you start fighting directly? Why don't you come here and dry your hair?

The interpreter who was left behind suddenly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the barbarians on the other side, this is almost the kind of barbarian language he is most familiar with, as if this kind of language is very popular in the Western barbarian world.

After Zhang Kewang listened to the translation, his whole person's expression suddenly became bad: "Tell them that this is the land of my Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and it has been here since the time of the Song Dynasty, and the eunuchs of the Three Treasures have also been here."

By the way, tell them that we have enough evidence in our hands, and if they don't believe it, let them dig up there and dig it out. ”

The interpreter wiped the sweat from his forehead and translated Zhang Kewang's words again, making Katiel feel a moment of confusion.

His father first planned to go to the Far East, and he knew about it, and it was also in the family records, but wasn't this land called Stadakona? When did it become the territory of the countries of the Far East?

Also, you can't take the great Katiel for fools, you haven't been here for decades, and now you just come out and claim that this is your territory?

But Cartier was determined to take a step back, preferably to allow these Far Easterners to lead him to the legendary Far East, which was full of gold and silver: "Well, even if this was your land before, and we now want to trade in your country, can you lead the way for us?" ”

Zhang Kewang said with a smile: "Things like trade, we can talk about it later, and now we should break down and understand the ownership here, whether it is my Ming land or your France's?" ”

Cartier said, "Perhaps, this used to be. But you've been giving up on this place for decades. There is no doubt that this is now French land. ”

Zhang Kewang shook his head and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, no matter how many years we have given up here, this is still the land of my Ming Dynasty, you see, we have enough evidence." ”

Facing the tattered pieces of the Tang and Song dynasties that Zhang Kewang ordered to be brought over, a trace of greed flashed in Cartier's eyes: "However, who can prove that you didn't bury these things yourself?" Now, this is the land of France!

If you are willing to take us to your Far Eastern countries, perhaps we can sit down and discuss slowly, or I, Cartier, will surely expel you on behalf of the great King of France! ”
