Chapter 313: Luzon Envoy
In the face of Zhu Di's pride, Tang Ming didn't want to hit him, every emperor's ambition needs encouragement and support, and an ambitious emperor can do something earth-shattering, which is beneficial to the country and the people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Tang Ming is not a great person, it is not difficult to contribute a little compliment, so he bowed slightly and said: "The emperor is really a Ming monarch, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are really lucky to have a monarch like you. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, even Tang Ming himself felt a little disgusted, but he also felt that he seemed to have become very good at complimenting people recently. Some words that even he felt disgusting came when he opened his mouth, and while admiring himself, he also thought that this should ease the relationship between himself and Zhu Di somewhat.
This is to deter people who are eyeing the Ming Dynasty at sea, but in fact, it is not enough to get a legendary divine fish. In Tang Ming's opinion, it is necessary to develop his own navy to be strong enough, and only a strong navy can match it in this vast sea.
Zhu Di, who has been bored for two or three days, is rarely happy today, and Tang Ming's compliments seem to be very useful to him. People live more and more like a child, and the so-called old child should come from such an allusion.
Zhu Di was like a child looking forward to the upcoming toy at the moment, and he was extremely excited. He watched left and right for a while, and found that it was boring to wait here, so with a wave of his hand, he ordered the boat to sail and look for the so-called whale in the vicinity.
It's rare that Zhu Di has such a good mood, and no one stands up to find it boring anymore, so they have responded to Zhu Di's call and accompanied him around, which is also a kind of boring pastime.
The sea area where Tang Ming was located was actually not far from Luzon, and when Zhu Di was looking for whales with great interest, several sea ships flying the Luzon flag slowly approached him.
Luzon's official maritime power was indeed very backward, and from where they were far away from the naked eye, they were seen through binoculars by the lookouts on the treasure ships. But those seagoing boats, which were no different from ordinary fishing boats, made the lookouts think that they were fishing boats, so they didn't bother with them.
It was only at this moment that they were close enough to see the naked eye, and judging from their course, that they were coming straight in the direction of the treasure ship, that the lookout sent a signal to inform the people below.
After Zhu Di and Tang Ming got the news, they came to the top of the treasure ship together, and looked at the ship with a telescope for a long time before Zhu Di asked, "What do you mean by these ships constantly approaching us?" ”
Tang Ming directly shook his head and replied: "Weichen doesn't know, but the flag of Luzon is hanging high on his ship, this should be Luzon patrolling here, seeing that we are constantly wandering here, so I can't say what is going on when I lean over and want to ask." ”
While the two were talking, they saw that the ships of Luzon were already very close, and the treasure ships of the Ming Dynasty all slowed down and quieted down. The flag of the Ming Dynasty on the treasure ship had already been hoisted, and Luzon's fleet must have seen it clearly, both sides had no intention of fighting, and Luzon was also very careful when approaching.
The huge hull of the nearly ten treasure ships caused them a huge psychological pressure, and the sea ship they were riding in front of the treasure ship was like an adult elephant and a newborn baby elephant, and the gap was so large that they had to be careful so as not to cause misunderstanding on the other side.
The Luzon flag flying high on the boat allowed them to board the treasure ship smoothly, and Zhu Di thought that his identity as emperor was not suitable for showing his face in such a scene, so he asked Tang Ming to contact the Luzon envoy.
The treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty is already a symbol of the entire South China Sea, and every country in the South China Sea knows that only the Ming Dynasty of the Celestial Empire has such a sea giant. The envoys of Luzon did not know what purpose they had come, but they had been friendly to everyone they met on board from the time they boarded the ship until now.
It can even be said that he behaved a little humble, for such a low posture as Luzon, Tang Ming politely received the three representatives of Luzon in line with the intention of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person.
The figures of the same Asians are not as tall as in the West, so the three of them and the two younger middle-aged men should be their bodyguards, and the thin old man in the middle should be the main characters of the trip.
Although the country of Luzon is small, Tang Ming can't be too rude when they meet, so he has changed into a marquis's official uniform at the moment, and he is followed by Zhu Yong, who has a scar on his face that can scare crying children.
The thin old man in Luzon also seemed to be a clever man, and as soon as he saw Tang Ming come out, he immediately guessed from his dress that it was the person who had come to contact him.
The thin man's face was immediately replaced with a hypocritical disgusting smile, and he took the initiative to greet Tang Ming, grinning with yellow teeth and laughing: "The contemptible person is Yan Ruwei, the naval commander of the Luzon Kingdom, who received news two days ago that it was a pirate entrenched in this sea area to do evil, and was wiped out by a navy from the Ming Dynasty, and went to a large part of our heart disease in the Luzon Sea. The king was very excited, so he sent Admiral Ben to the sea to express his gratitude to the Ming navy. ”
As soon as he heard that the old man was here to express his gratitude instead of looking for trouble, Tang Ming's face immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees. The corners of his mouth curled up and he replied with a smile that was much more hypocritical than Yan Ruwei: "Where and where, this is just a gesture, but the enthusiasm of your king of Luzon, we can't shirk it, I don't know how your king wants to express his gratitude?" Although this extermination of pirates was only a gesture, our Ming warriors also suffered many casualties in this battle. ”
As soon as he heard Tang Ming's words, Yan Ruwei immediately looked at the seemingly harmless young man in front of him. He also understood at this moment that Tang Ming was definitely not a person who could be fooled casually, and after thinking for a moment, Yan Ruwei put away the hypocritical smile on his face and said with a serious face.
"The king's hatred for pirates has been a long time, and now the Ming Dynasty has destroyed the pirates for us, and the big stone in the king's heart will naturally not be vague and brave to kill the enemy. I don't know what position this lord holds in the army, if you don't mind, please come to Luzon with me, the king wants to entertain you in person and thank you for the brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"I am the Wei Hai Hou of the Ming Dynasty, recently my emperor wants to see the legendary fish, so the Hou Ye took the army out to sea to fish, passing by here just happened to meet the pirates, so he destroyed it. This marquis still has a task in his body, and it is inconvenient to go to see the king of Admiral Yan, and the hospitality is also waived, and I hope that Admiral Yan will take care of it if it is inconvenient! Tang Ming also put away the hypocrisy on his face at this moment, and responded to Yan Ruwei's words seriously. (To be continued.) )
