Chapter 225: Negro
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is spring again, and now there are only two months left before the National Day, and the fleet that left the Great Song Dynasty and went to explore Europe, under the leadership of Yue Fei, finally returned to Bianliang after more than half a year of sailing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If you ask why those Europeans used a year and a half when they came, but the warships of the Great Song Dynasty came back after more than half a year, in fact, the answer is very simple, that is, the ship is fast, in addition to the sails, each ship has a wheel pulp on both sides, and after Zhao Xu's reform, the multi-layer sails and spinnakers, whether downwind or headwind, can all make the ship gain wind power, so the sails are blowing, the wheel pulp is flying, and the travel speed of the entire East China Sea Fleet can be said to be several times that of those European ships
"Your Majesty, after the news from the military post for 800 miles, the East China Sea Fleet led by Yue Fei has arrived at the military port in Hangzhou, and Yue Fei has also personally brought three transport ships to Bianliang, Tokyo, and it is expected to arrive in Bianliang, Tokyo on the morning of the fourth day." In the imperial study, Zhou Tong, the secretary of the military department, stood under the dragon case and said respectfully to Zhao Xu
After Zhao Xu heard this, he put down the red pen in his hand and said to Zhou Tong: "Well, Yue Fei has made a great contribution this time, and your master's contribution is indispensable. Zhao Xu said with a smile
"The old minister is ashamed, Yue Fei can have today's achievements, the key is all thanks to His Majesty's good training, and the old minister does not dare to take credit."
"Hahaha, Zhou Laoqing's family, you don't have to praise me so vigorously, the military post told Yue Fei that when he comes to Bianliang City, I will personally greet him outside the Vermilion Bird Gate."
"The old minister took the inferior disciple Yue Fei and thanked His Majesty for his grace." Zhou Dong is excited, the emperor personally went out of the palace to greet him, what a great honor this is, not to mention anything else, the emperor went out of the palace to greet the heroes twice, the first time to greet Lu Junyi and the seed master Dao, the second time is Yue Fei, in addition to the old comrades, Lu Junyi and Yue Fei are his Zhou Dong's apprentices, such a glory, his old Zhou is also double face
On this day, after emptying thousands of miles and waving flags, Zhao Xu led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the Vermilion Bird Gate to personally welcome Yue Fei who returned from the ocean. As soon as Yue Fei got off the boat, he received a cordial reception from Wu Yong of the Ministry of Rites
"Lord Yue, you are gratifying to return from the ocean, and you will be on the rise in the future, hahaha." Wu said with a loud laugh while holding Yue Fei's hand
"Lord Wu, don't laugh at me, I'll go on a long trip for Your Majesty, and we courtiers dare to take credit there."
"Oh, Pengju, I've grown up, and I'm no longer the little doll I used to be. Okay, let's catch up at any time, Your Majesty and the civil and military officials are waiting for you, a big hero, outside the Suzaku Gate, let's go. ”
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as Yue Fei finished speaking, Wu Yong turned around and saw a large group of people like black charcoal being pressed down by the navy soldiers from the transport ship, the key is that most of these people only have some broken animal skins on their bodies to cover their shame, and some don't even have them, just swaying the dark guy thing, Wu Yong was a chrysanthemum at the time, and there were some women covered in black, their clothes were almost no different from these men, but **** also had a piece of animal skin to cover their shame
"Lord Yue, this ...... These...... Could these be legendary yokai? Wu Yong said in extreme surprise when he saw those black people
"Lord Wu, don't be afraid, these people with skin like black charcoal are the black people that Your Majesty once said, they live in the land we have just occupied, Your Majesty once said that these people are born slaves, so I came back from the Kingdom of England this time, passed by my country's military camp in Africa, and by the way, I came back with some gifts they had prepared for Your Majesty to meet our Emperor."
"Then Lord Yue, please, Your Majesty and all the adults are waiting for you outside the Suzaku Gate." Useless said
"Your Majesty is waiting for me outside the Suzaku Gate?" Yue Fei said in surprise
"Yes, Lord Yue, please."
After Yue Fei learned that Zhao Xu personally greeted him outside the Vermilion Bird Gate, he did not dare to delay for a moment, and followed Wu Yong's horse to the Vermilion Bird Gate first, and those black slaves would naturally be escorted by the army and then arrive
When he arrived at the Suzaku Gate, Yue Fei dismounted from a long distance with Wu Yong, stood still, Wu Yong took the lead in walking to Zhao Xu and bowed down to Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Yong of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, I am called to welcome the return of Yue Fei, the general of the East China Sea Fleet, who has returned from the ocean, and hereby hand over to my emperor Long live the decree, please show your majesty." ”
"Xuan Yue flew forward."
"Your Majesty has a decree, Yue Fei, the general of the East China Sea Fleet, stepped forward to meet you-" Xiaodouzi took the order, took two steps forward, and sang loudly with his head held high
"Minister, Yue Fei is here." After Yue Fei heard Xiaodouzi's singing and harmony, he responded loudly, and held the long knife at his waist with his left hand, and his right arm swung naturally, taking square steps, and striding towards Zhao Xu
"Minister, Yue Fei, I am summoned to return from the kingdom of England, and I hereby hand over to my emperor that I will bring back 5,000 spotted cows, 10,000 long-staple dairy sheep, and 1,000 English war horses, and on the way back, I will pass through the Cape of Good Hope military base of our army, and I will wait for 1,000 black male and female slaves, and bring back 100,000 catties of gold ore and 3,000 catties of diamonds." Yue Fei walked up to Zhao Xu and lifted his skirt armor, only to hear a "bang" and knelt down in front of Zhao Xu and said to him
Looking at the young man in front of him, who had receded from the wind and waves on the sea, and was full of the wind of a general, Zhao Xu stepped down from the dragon chair, took a few steps forward, and gently helped up this famous general who belonged to a tragedy on another timeline and said: "Qing is the empire is not far away from the corner of the sky, I am very relieved, I am specially promoted to Tianhai Bo, in order to highlight Qing's merits." ”
"Minister, Yue Fei, Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Excited, Yue Fei was excited and began to tremble, the emperor in front of him was famous for picking on the issue of this title, except for the commanders who fought with the Western Xia Jinliao Three Kingdoms in the past few years when they were knighted, the others were promoted and raised, not to mention that now the title of this earl, even there is not a baron, and he not only got the title after this ocean voyage, but His Majesty the Emperor also personally greeted him outside the palace gate, what a great honor this is
"Yue Fei, tell me about those black slaves brought up and have a look." Zhao Xu sat back on the dragon chair and said to Yue Fei
"Back to Your Majesty, these black slaves are disheveled, their bodies and faces are pickled and unclean, I am afraid that they will disturb the Holy Driver." Yue Fei said with some worry
"Hahaha, Yue Qing's family will think about me at that time, but he is really the son of heaven of the Great Song Empire, how can he be disturbed by these ghosts, and order them to be brought up." Zhao Xu has been to Africa in later generations, and he knows much more about what Africa is like than these people in front of him, and in that later life that belongs to the twenty-first century, there are still some tribes on the African continent who live the most primitive life, let alone in this era (to be continued. )
