Chapter 1114: Da Ming, I'm Coming
In the distance, the silhouette of three huge warships appeared, and as time passed, these three huge ships sailed towards the Caoyun dock.
Ooh!
Why is this kind of ship so big, and it seems to be very fast?
The people who were still busy on the Caoyun wharf stopped what they were doing at this time, and stood looking at the three huge ships that were moving quickly on the river.
This is not our Ming ship, absolutely not.
There is a businessman who has traveled south and north and seen a lot, and at this time he opened his mouth and said something.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and there are still some foreign businessmen in Yangzhou who have not left. However, most of these merchants are small merchants, which are not the same as those of the big merchants.
They are all doing some small business, more than 1,000 taels of silver, which is basically all their net worth.
Therefore, in order to be able to make money, even the Spring Festival, an important festival, they have to stay in Yangzhou.
It's just that there are relatively few such businessmen.
As soon as the merchant's words fell, a guy who looked like a green-skinned gangster next to him said: "How do you know, maybe this is our Ming Dynasty warship." ”
The merchant shook his head and said with great certainty: "The flag with a big red background and five patterns on the ship belongs to our Daming sailor. Although I am not a big businessman, I have come into contact with a lot of coastal sailors, and I have never seen such a banner at all. Besides, such a huge ship doesn't look like our Ming Dynasty. ”
Yes, the three giant ships that appeared on the river were completely different from the existing Ming-style warships and merchant ships.
This can be distinguished from the appearance alone.
"I saw that it looked like a Franconian warship, but the Franconian warship wasn't that big." , the merchant muttered to himself again.
From the words of this businessman, it can be heard that he has really seen a lot.
From the style of the three giant ships, it can be judged that some of them are similar to the warships of the Franc Machine.
The people here in Yangzhou had never seen the warships of the Franciscans, so the green-skinned young man looked puzzled.
After all, Yangzhou is also close to the north. Those Europeans who came to the East from thousands of miles only operated in the Nanyang and Fujian areas, and basically did not come to the north.
Besides, Yangzhou is not close to the sea, how can they see the Francois people.
As he spoke, the three giant ships drew closer to the dock again.
Some single-bottomed flat-bottomed cargo ships on the nearby river began to dodge to both sides.
After all, if they were hit by such a huge ship, a small boat like theirs would surely capsize.
God knows that these three giant ships have a background from that wealthy family, and when the time comes, they will be overturned and the ship will die in vain.
The bright red five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the Sea King took the lead in sailing at the head of the position.
In the bow of the ship. There were several people standing.
Zhao Hongyu, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the Caoyun Wharf not far away, and his expression was slightly excited. Next to him is the Iga ninja Hattori Chizuru dressed as a Japanese ronin, and Emma and Sara are still hiding in the cabin and haven't come out at all.
The leader of the Portuguese mercenaries who followed Zhao Hongyu to Daming, Baron Roderni stood behind Zhao Hongyu, and the baron at this moment was dressed in European-style armor, looking high-spirited.
Since he leaned on Zhao Hongyu's big tree, he has really come to work.
Baron Rodelny at this time. has completely gotten rid of the crisis of going bankrupt, and the wealth on hand has gradually increased.
Of course, Rodelny's wealth was basically obtained by conquering the city in Kyushu.
Zhao Hongyu didn't give him a dime. All of them are Japanese people.
Roderni doesn't see it that way, though.
You must know that before you meet Zhao Hongyu, our baron will not be able to open the pot.
If that situation continues. If he doesn't get it, he will have to be thrown into the sea by his men to feed the fish.
Roderni was well aware of the virtues of his men.
Therefore, now Roderni only wants to be able to tightly protect the thigh of the crown prince of the Song Empire. Be able to follow him and become his man.
How thick the thighs are in the Americas is something that Europeans know.
And the people of the Song Empire in the Americas were rich, and that was also crazy in Europe.
When Rodrini came across such an opportunity, how could he not take advantage of it.
Hehe, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the Americas leaks a little bit between his fingers, that's a lot.
Out of hugging his thighs and the desire to pursue wealth, Roderni volunteered to follow Zhao Hongyu to Daming.
As for this guy's self-recommendation, Zhao Hongyu did not refuse.
After all, after coming to Daming's side, it is also a good thing to have such a person's existence.
Once he is interested in going to Liaodong, these Portuguese with big shoulders and round waists and powerful holes will be useful.
Hey!
The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible?
I just don't know what the situation will be if the Jurchens face the Portuguese?
"This is the country of gold recorded in Marco Polo's travels, and we yearn for this country very much when we were in Europe." Looking at the exotic ships, as well as the people on the shore, Roderni sighed.
"Our ancestors once ruled this country, and they had more territory than all the countries of Europe combined. But for some reason my ancestors lost their dominion here, so we arrived in the Americas and created a new kingdom there. ”
Zhao Hongyu will never forget it, tell the people around him about it, and let them know his 'identity'.
As long as a lie is told 10,000 times, then the lie will become the truth.
Besides, this is also a more effective brainwashing strategy, brainwashing the people around you, and at the same time giving yourself a hint.
"Now our Song Empire has opened up a territory in the Americas that far exceeds what our ancestors had. So this time I came back, mainly to worship. And there is a new ruler in this country, I wonder if they will welcome me? ”
Zhao Hongyu didn't look back, as if he was talking to the air.
However, Rodderny knew that he needed to answer at this time.
"Your Highness. We came with good intentions, and I think the rulers who came here should not be so small-bellied. But we also have to be on guard, after all, if they misunderstand, it will not be easy to do. The appearance of descendants of the rulers of this country is not necessarily a good thing for the current rulers. ”
Rodernyi's words are very reasonable, and Zhao Hongyu himself has such worries.
Although he advertised everywhere that he was a descendant of Zhao Song, and that he was of great benefit to the Song Empire.
But with such an identity, it is a little embarrassing to come to Daming.
God knows what kind of mentality the Ming court has towards this descendant of the dynasty who was destroyed by the Mongols hundreds of years ago.
After all, Zhao Song was destroyed by the Mongols. And the Zhu Ming Dynasty was established after driving out the Mongols.
In the East, the rise of a dynasty is often given the title of 'Son of Heaven'.
At this time, the Son of Heaven was surnamed Zhu, not Zhao.
And what the East pays attention to is an orthodoxy.
But the descendants of the Zhao and Song royal families also have legitimacy.
"Inform Emma and Sara that we're about to land. And let the clerk prepare, and we will hand over the credentials after we have landed. ”
Seeing that the warship was about to approach the Caoyun dock, Zhao Hongyu gave an order to Rodelni.
Roderni answered, then turned away.
Rodelni at this time. That's the big wolf dog that Zhao Hongyu kept in captivity.
The reason why he did this was to become a citizen of the Song Empire and leave Europe to change his life.
"Your Highness, will we have trouble here?"
Chizuru Hattori, who had been silent, asked in a low voice.
Zhao Hongyu smiled. He said, "Who knows the way?" After all, my identity is a little sensitive, it depends on what the Ming court and this son of heaven think. If they don't care about it, then we shouldn't be in trouble. But I don't think the chance of trouble is very high, after all, we are not here to take away their old Zhu family. ”
After the Iga girl Hattori Chizuru heard this. Zhao Hongyu's words were secretly remembered in his heart.
Since there may be danger, you should be cautious when you get ashore.
As a self who has become a close guard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But it is necessary to protect the safety of His Highness.
For himself, for the Iga family, and for his uncle and Miss Tokugawa Kayo who are far away in Kyushu.
"Don't be so nervous, you don't necessarily have to be in trouble. However, if there are some eyeless anointed children looking for ballast, it is very possible. ”
Although Hattori Chizuru didn't say anything, Zhao Hongyu also knew some of the thoughts of the little girl.
"If you meet such a guy, can Chizuru kill them?"
Hattori Chizuru asked after thinking for a moment.
The reason why I ask this is because Chizuru Hattori has thought about a lot of questions.
This is not the Wa Kingdom, but the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese people are still a little in awe of the Ming Kingdom from the bottom of their hearts.
The name of the First Empire of the East, this is not something to boast about.
Therefore, Hattori Chizuru felt that he should not make trouble for His Highness unless he had to.
Zhao Hongyu smiled: "If there is anyone who is looking for trouble, then kill him." No matter how Lao Tzu says, he is also the prince of a country, and he must be the biggest one. I won't cause trouble, but I won't bear it when it comes to me. When he said this, Zhao Hongyu turned his head slightly and looked at Hattori Chizuru seriously, "Besides, my Great Song Dynasty is not a small country, but I am allowed to be bullied by some gentlemen." ”
What Zhao Hongyu said in this sentence is quite confident.
Because of the Song Empire in the Americas, it is impossible for him to put the Ming in his eyes at all.
Not to mention a few gentlemen or something.
Take precautions.,Some things always have to be ventilated to the Iga girl in advance.,It's not good to save the time when someone really finds fault and shrinks back.。
As he spoke, the warship slowly docked.
The huge Sea King occupied a large berth, causing the people on the shore to let out a burst of exclamations.
Hey!
Daming, I'm here...... (To be continued......)
