Tang Jing heard that the emperor was here, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted long live. When Emperor Zhengde heard that it was a general who had fought a naval battle with Zhang Zhijie, he said with a very gentle attitude: "It turned out to be General Tang, exempt from courtesy." ”

Tang Jing kowtowed again before getting up respectfully, and Zhang Zhijie asked with a smile: "Are you leading the fleet to patrol the sea?" ”

Tang Jing said respectfully: "Yes, this month, I led the fleet to inspect the coastal sea, and it happened that five Western warships were found on the sea near Shandong, and they were brought to Tianjin. ”

Emperor Zhengde's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Western warships? Was there a naval battle? How's the battle going? ”

Tang Jing said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, there was no naval battle, and these Westerners surrendered directly. However, they chattered, and the lowly officials couldn't understand what they said, so they had to bring them to Tianjin. ”

Emperor Zhengde laughed and said: "These Westerners are very cowardly! He surrendered without even fighting. ”

Zhang Zhijie was a little speechless when he heard this, a few warships against dozens of warships, if these Westerners really want to fight, it is not called bravery, it is called tiger!

Not to mention Zhang Zhijie, even Gushi Hatun and the tribal leaders of those grasslands were speechless, and the Westerners were not tigers, how could they find their own death.

However, Emperor Zhengde was then happy again, and said with great interest: "What about the captured Westerners? Bring it over and take a look! ”

Tang Jing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, those Westerners are still locked up on the ship, and the last general will bring someone to escort them over." ”

Tang Jing slipped away, and Zhang Zhijie smiled and ordered the guards to call the interpreter of the City Division. After a while, Tang Jing led the soldiers of the sailor division to escort hundreds of foreigners off the warship.

However, with so many people in charge, Tang Jing was afraid of colliding with the holy car, so he just escorted a few people who looked like a leader and walked over. The foreigners struggled and shouted loudly on the road.

Tang Jing saluted respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Admiral, these are the captured foreigners, and these people look like leaders." But listening to this man, it seems that he is not Portuguese. ”

Although these foreigners were escorted and could not move, they still shouted loudly. Emperor Zhengde naturally didn't understand anything, but just looked at the foreigner in front of him with a sigh, and the blonde and blue-eyed appearance did look very strange.

On the contrary, Zhang Zhijie seemed to understand something when he listened to it, although he didn't understand it very well, but it seemed that some words were very familiar. Zhang Zhijie said tentatively: "Ah, should you put aside donkey? ”

Emperor Zhengde was surprised when he saw Zhang Zhijie suddenly speak, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to know Western! Gu Shi Hatun was also a little surprised, and asked Emperor Zhengde in surprise: "Governor Zhang still knows Western dialect?" ”

Emperor Zhengde explained: "Zhijie does know a lot of things from Westerners, and he has also dealt with Westerners, even if he can speak Western, it is not unusual!" ”

Gu Shi Hatun was puzzled: "I don't know what Governor Zhang meant, it sounds weird." ”

Emperor Zhengde muttered: "It should mean, what kind of donkey country is this!" ”

Gu Shi snorted and laughed, glanced at Emperor Zhengde charmingly, pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, how can there be a country called donkey in this world?" It's hard to hear! ”

Gushhatun is a rare beauty on the steppe, otherwise she would not have fascinated Dayan Khan. The white eyes of Gushi Hatun are very amorous, and Emperor Zhengde's heart is hot.

Emperor Zhengde laughed in a low voice: "You don't know, it's not uncommon for this Western country to be called, and there is another one called Portugal!" ”

Kushhatun chuckled, "Portugal? This is so interesting, but it's much better than this donkey country! ”

However, both of them noticed that after Zhang Zhijie said that tentatively, the reaction of these Westerners was at a loss.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhengde smiled and said, "Maybe these Westerners are not from some donkey country!" Gushi Hatun smiled and nodded, suspecting in his heart that there was no such thing as a donkey country in the world.

Zhang Zhijie was a little dazed when he saw that the other party listened to his temptation, and he himself was a little dazed, shouldn't be, although his English scores are not good, he is still familiar with some words.

There are some words in this Westerner's speech, and he is sure they sound like English! After Zhang Zhijie Chen pondered for a while, could it be that there was something wrong with his accent?

Zhang Zhijie decided to try it in a different word, if he couldn't try again, forget it, although it was a bit embarrassing. There was nothing he had said just now, but now he found that everyone was drawn to him.

Zhang Zhijie opened his mouth and said: "Win a bad one? ”

This time, the somewhat dazed Westerners finally reacted, and their dazed eyes emitted an unimaginable light, and they exclaimed excitedly: "Choke to death, choke to death, win a rotten one!" ”

Sure enough, it's the English! Zhang Zhijie breathed a long sigh of relief, his more than ten years of English learning were really not in vain!

Zhang Zhijie just breathed a sigh of relief, but the English man looked excited as if he had seen a relative. They were in constant terror after they were captured, because they found that these Orientals did not understand their language.

The language barrier is undoubtedly a big obstacle, and they are afraid that these Orientals will easily kill them because of the language barrier. I didn't expect to meet a person who knew English now, how could they not cry with joy!

Now they were almost certain that they had come to the Ming Empire in the East, because they had been captured by a powerful fleet. That fleet had both their western sailing ships and their unique warships, presumably the eastern warships.

So they were almost certain that they had reached the Ming Empire, which was a powerful empire with a powerful fleet, and it was the fleet of the Ming Empire that defeated the fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal and seized the Spice Islands.

Because the Kingdom of Portugal had lost the Spice Islands and could not defeat the Ming fleet, it sold the charts to the East. Their kingdom of England also bought nautical charts, and they sailed all the way to the East on them.

Looking for that powerful empire, asking to trade with the Ming Empire, whether it is Ming silk or porcelain is very popular, of course, more importantly, the Ming Empire occupies the spice islands, they are very yearning for spices.

Seeing that these Westerners finally reacted again and confirmed that they were English, Zhang Zhijie stretched out his hand with a smile and said happily: "It's so blocked!" Crooked waist thirsts for the dawn of the road! ”

The Englishman also excitedly stretched out his hand and held Zhang Zhijie's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "It's so blocked!" It's so jammed and blocked! ”

After shaking hands, the Englishman immediately began to dance and chatter, Zhang Zhijie listened a little dazed, as if returning to the time when he took the listening test.
