Chapter 55: Ruthless
Chapter 55 is ruthless
Although the smell of gunpowder was full, the atmosphere gradually eased under the blind regression of Sao Mu, after all, James is not the kind of person who likes to push people too much.
Knowing everything and saying everything, Si Ao Mu did his best to teach the sailing experience accumulated over the years, but James was unconsciously ashamed, and it seemed that he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Two hours passed unconsciously, and the interpreter, who had been following closely on the side, watched that the conversation between the two had finally come to an end, and hurriedly got up and saluted James: "Lord Bang, the villain is a little anxious, so retreat for the time being!" ”
After that, he slipped away without waiting for James to nod, because his legs were clamped too tightly, and his posture was really ugly.
Seeing him leave, Si Aomu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he lowered his voice and stumbled: "Lord Bang, can you help a slow mi!" ”
James couldn't help but be stunned, which language is this!
Fortunately, James's Chinese proficiency had also gone through this stage back then, and he immediately understood, but he was surprised in his heart, and he never thought that this Mr. Si Ao Mu could also speak Chinese.
"Lord Bang, oh there is something to get rid of you, can you help Oh Wisdom God, just say Oh want to build him, and don't say Oh will shh the Chinese language to my people!" Time was pressing, and the interpreter could come back at any time, so Sao Mu immediately stated his purpose.
Such a long nonsense sentence, even James had experience pondering for a while before he understood, looking at the pleading look on Si Aomu's face, plus the tears rolling in his eyes, he quickly nodded and said, "Okay, there is a chance to convey your words to Lord Shen!" ”
"Multi-departmental, multi-departmental!" Si Ao Mu was grateful, and suddenly heard the footsteps outside, and picked up the teacup in a panic to cover it up.
After a few moments, the interpreter with a relaxed face walked in briskly, looked back and forth and found nothing abnormal, and couldn't help but smile proudly in his heart, this Lord Cao Jing is really a big deal, and now Si Aomu is lonely, where is there any need to stare at him inch by inch.
The sea breeze was blowing, and the two Shenxing battleships were lined with armor and banners, and the same was true on the dock, and Emperor Longqing, who was wrapped in a fur coat, appeared on the dock under the support of officials of all sizes, and gradually approached the two behemoths.
"Tom, tom, tom,......" Suddenly, the sound of cannons was loud, and it made people feel that the ground under their feet was trembling slightly, and the accompanying guards were very frightened, and they drew their swords in their hands to be on guard, and said that someone wanted to plot against them.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this Divine Walker!" Seeing that there was a misunderstanding, Shen Chongming, who had been closely following Emperor Longqing's side, hurriedly asked with a smile.
Emperor Longqing, who was also taken aback, reacted when he heard this, it turned out that this was a performance for himself, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied, this welcome ceremony was very innovative.
"Well, that's good!" Emperor Longqing, who was smiling, let out a heartfelt sigh, can the Celestial Empire have such a warship, are you still afraid that Siyi will not surrender?
"Your Majesty, please!" Shen Chongming stretched out his hand and said, Cao Jing, who was following alongside, walked in front with great eyesight to lead the way, and a group of people walked towards the battleship.
Standing from a distance, you can feel that this Shenxing battleship is a behemoth, and even more so after boarding the deck, especially looking at the cannons connected one after another in a long line, which makes those court officials who have never seen this kind of battle stunned, and for the first time, they found that the sailors of the Celestial Empire were so powerful.
Emperor Longqing also kept nodding, turning his head from time to time to ask Shen Chongming what were the various arrangements on the ship? The heart is also happy tight, this time to the public to this trip, it is really worth it.
"Your Majesty, although these cannons are called Franc cannons, the previous Franc cannons of our Shenji Battalion are not the same as these, whether it is range or accuracy, they are not at the same level!" Shen Chongming said to Emperor Longqing.
was bowing down and stroking the cannon body and said to the ministers behind him that this was the figure of Emperor Longqing, who was a Franc cannon, and couldn't help but be interested: "Oh, then how did you get this Franc cannon Shen Aiqing!" ”
"Don't hide it from the emperor, at the beginning of the year in Zhejiang, when Weichen had captured a few Francophone people, these cannons were developed by the craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry together with them, but they cannot be mass-produced at present, so they cannot be equipped everywhere, wait for a few years The craftsmen are proficient in the forging process, and they will definitely be able to forge in large quantities, and then we can arrange them at the border, and those who dare to offend the majesty of our Celestial Empire will not return!" Shen Chongming's words were sonorous and powerful.
Without waiting for Emperor Longqing to speak, the ministers who were accustomed to patting sycophants bowed down and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, my Ming Dynasty has obtained this divine object, and the barbarians from all directions will definitely look at the wind and surrender!" ”
"Hehe, what everyone Aiqing said is very true!" Emperor Longqing nodded with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and patted Shen Chongming's shoulder, and said emotionally: "Shen Aiqing, you have a heart!" ”
The biggest praise is nothing more than this, although Shen Chongming was happy in his heart, he still didn't forget to be modest: "The emperor has won the award, this is just the duty of the minister!" ”
Si Ao Mu and James were also on the boat, originally according to Shen Chongming's meaning, let Emperor Longqing meet the two, one is to let Emperor Longqing and the officials be more optimistic about the prospects of maritime trade, and the other is a small slap on the back, after all, letting the two Hu people meet can definitely show the majesty of the Celestial Empire.
It's just that this idea has been opposed by many people who know the inside story, and the reason is the identity of Si Ao Mu.
Although this person is now a naval artillery instructor in Nanjing, the identity of the captive is a lifelong brand, and it is really reassuring to let such a dangerous person meet Emperor Longqing.
Shen Chongming thought about it. Although this kind of thing is unlikely, it is better to be cautious and secure when it comes to the safety of the emperor, so the task of meeting Emperor Longqing was entrusted to James, who alone represented foreign friends.
James was taken to see Emperor Longqing, but Si Ao Mu was looked at by four strong martial arts captains in brocade clothes, and the four expressionless guys stared at Si Ao Mu who was sitting there with expressionless faces almost without blinking, and at the same time the whole body was on high alert with the handle of the knife.
Si Aomu is also self-aware, and he doesn't make any unnecessary movements except for occasionally picking up a teacup and taking a sip of tea.
In fact, at this time, Si Aomu was also nervous in his heart, just now he saw Shen Chongming's figure from a distance, and his heart was excited, and he couldn't wait to rush forward directly and beg him to let him go back to his hometown, but looking at the heavily guarded soldiers, this idea was immediately dispelled by Si Aomu, once he really did this, he was afraid that he would have to return to Huangquan in a blink of an eye.
However, looking at James's slight nod when he was leaving, Si Aomu was a little relieved, it seemed that Mr. Bond, who had only been friends for a few days, still remembered what he whispered to him several times in a row, and he passed the word for himself, after all, there was still a glimmer of hope, and the only thing left for him was to wait.
"James Bond, the chief maritime officer and sailor of the Wechen Royal Trading House and the chief sailor, greets the emperor, I
