Zhao Hongyu chatted with Sara and Emma here, but Fu Danian, who boarded the Sea King, looked a little out of place when he was sunburned on that side.

Zhao Hongyu's adjutant saw this, in order not to snub Fu Danian, and also to get more rules from him, so the adjutant talked to Fu Danian again.

And Fu Danian also retracted his gaze at this time, and he could see it. The identity of that Franco's wife is definitely not ordinary, and a woman like this can just see for herself, if you think about some other things, it's nonsense.

And seeing that the crown prince and this Francois are talking and laughing, I think that this woman and the crown prince must have an unusual relationship.

Therefore, Fu Danian wisely put away the obscene thoughts.

Although I don't know how big the so-called Song Empire is, after all, he is also the prince of a country and the heir of the future country.

No matter how small the country is, people are also members of the royal family.

He is just a small guard in the Ming Dynasty, and he can't afford to provoke this kind of person at all.

If you annoy others, after they go to the capital, they can ask for their own future and life by crooking their mouths in front of those bigwigs.

So, let's be a little more restrained.

However, the look of that Francois girl is a little weird, but that figure is really good.

Fu Danian's heart was really greedy for those two trembling masses.

Alas, I don't know if Lu Dao can find such a big girl here in Yangzhou.

"Lord Baihu, if we want to go to the capital from here, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" , The adjutant's words sounded, interrupting Fu Danian's thoughts.

"Uh, did you say you were going to the capital from here?" , Fu Danian, who came back to his senses, looked at the adjutant. The adjutant nodded, "Yes." If you go by land, it may be too slow, and we have boats, so we plan to go up the river. ”

Not!

Fu Danian thought about it seriously.

"It's not impossible to go to the inland river, but your boat is too big, and I estimate that you may not be able to go down when you go to Nantong."

After thinking about it, Fu Danian told the adjutant the truth.

Can you only go to Nantong?

When the adjutant heard this, he fell silent.

This news is also a small piece of bad news for the whole team.

Actually, if you go by land, it's not impossible, but if you go by land, it will take a lot of time.

Meantime. They can't go to the capital with so many people, right?

If there are fewer people, what will happen to the safety of His Highness?

The adjutant has a lot of issues to consider, which is not something that Fu Danian can be clear.

"Thanks for the reminder, is there really no other way?"

The adjutant asked.

Fu Danian shook his head: "Your boat is too big, although it can go straight to Tongzhou on the periphery of the capital from Yangzhou, but the more you go to the capital, the shallower the river becomes, and your boat can't pass at all." ”

What Fu Danian said is a big truth, for the sake of Zhao Hongyu giving so much gold, Fu Danian is worthy of these gold coins.

Don't look at Zhao Hongyu, the three of them can come to Yangzhou. But after all, the river here in Yangzhou can go straight to the East China Sea, and the river is wide and deep enough.

However, this is not the case all the way north.

In addition to the fact that the Imperial battleships were pointed bottom ships, there were high requirements for hull draft.

On the other hand, there are boats sailing on the canal. are all flat-bottomed.

Therefore, these ships can sail directly from the canal to the capital city of Tongzhou.

Besides, these ships carrying goods are much smaller than the battleships of the Song Empire.

"Okay. I understand. I'll talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this, if we go by land, there are a lot of taboos, right? ”。 The adjutant asked again.

Fu Danian replied: "Of course, if you take the land route, you can't go with so many people." Speaking of which, Fu Danian looked around for a while. I see you on the three ships, but there are quite a few of them. ”

The adjutant nodded, but did not tell Fu Danian how many people there were.

First of all, it is out of secrecy.

There is one more point, that is, what can you do if you tell Fu Danian? His Royal Highness is full of monsters, even if he tells Fu Danian that there are more than 2,000 people on his side, His Royal Highness can expand the number of people in the team in a short period of time.

"According to the tributary system of Fanbang here in my Ming Dynasty, the number of troops is determined according to the strength of the countries. For example, Goryeo in the north, the Mongol tribes, and the countries in the south have rules. Fu Danian collected the money and explained very seriously.

It seems that no matter from ancient times to the present, money is easy to do.

"Your Da Song is the first time to come to my Daming, as for how to determine the number of people, it is not something that my small hundred households can say. And you didn't come to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty, but to worship your ancestors, right? ”

Fu Danian looked at the adjutant.

The adjutant nodded: "Yes, we are indeed not here to pay tribute. ”

"Well, I'm sorry to talk about that. Come to think of it, you have submitted your credentials here in Yangzhou, and someone will definitely deal with this matter at that time. Well, I won't talk much. ”

Fu Danian is a smart person.

He knows the Tao, and if he doesn't know the Tao himself, it's not good to say much.

As for some things that I know about the Tao, as long as it doesn't involve the root of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter.

And this question like the adjutant asked, it is really not clear to Fu Danian.

But Fu Danian is also right about one thing, that is, after the credentials are submitted, someone will definitely come forward to deal with the relevant issues-

Dividing Line –

On that side, Zhao Hongyu's three battleships had already sailed into the Caoyun dock and docked. At the same time, Zhao Hongyu did not get off the ship and go ashore recklessly, but first handed over a letter of state to the prefect Yamen of Yangzhou, and then waited for the Yamen to send someone from the wharf.

You must know that even if a foreign merchant comes to Daming, he has to go to the Yamen to submit documents for the record.

Not to mention that Zhao Hongyu has brought so many people, and it is still a country that has never appeared on the side of Daming before.

The affairs officer who was sent by Zhao Hongyu left the dock with a few imperial soldiers, and only then did he find the yamen of Yangzhou's prefect by asking all the way.

At this time. It has been more than two hours since Zhao Hongyu and the others entered the Caoyun Wharf in Yangzhou.

Along the way, the affairs officers have attracted the attention of many passers-by.

After all, the European costumes of the eighteenth century were still very strange to the Ming people at this time.

According to later generations, that is, these costumes seemed to be somewhat non-mainstream in the eyes of the Ming people.

In short, how awkward it looks.

In this way, the affairs officer and his entourage came to the gate of the yamen of the Yangzhou prefect.

After informing the official at the door, the official quickly came to the yamen and found the prefect.

It is not a trivial matter for a foreign envoy to present his credentials.

But. The prefect was angry.

"Let these people who don't have long eyes get out of here! This is the prefect's yamen, not the Imperial Academy! What did you do when you presented your credentials to me? ”

As soon as the prefect roared, the official was suddenly sprayed with foaming stars.

However, the prefect's staff came over and comforted the prefect.

"My lord, I guess these people don't understand the rules of my Ming Dynasty, so they found the yamen. But if the master really ignores it, it's not good to think about it. The master's words calmed down the prefect.

This chief is sanctimonious. When the prefect, who looked like a decent gentleman, heard this, he immediately came back to his senses.

For his master, he is obedient.

Don't look at this prefect who looks like a smart person, in fact, he himself is a big straw bag.

If it weren't for this master. In fact, he can't open the situation here in Yangzhou at all.

And the reason why he was able to be an official in Yangzhou, a land where there is anyone, is also thanks to his appearance, which looks like a gentleman.

However, he has nothing to do with a gentleman. On the contrary, they still eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, and smoke all five drugs.

It's just that most people don't know the way, and at first glance, he really thought he was the kind of gentle reading seed.

"You're right. If someone uses this as a talking point, there will be some trouble. Recently, I heard that the capital is not very peaceful, and the cabinet Wang Pavilion is old, and several bigwigs who are expected to take charge of the cabinet have begun to make frequent moves, and I am now afraid of being implicated. ", the prefect said to his master in a low voice. So at this time, I don't want to be held up for something. ”

"It's right that adults can think so, but it's just a matter of going through the motions and meeting these people. When the time comes, the lord will tell them that he is a government affairs yamen, not a place to manage the envoys of various countries, and then instruct them and let them find a place where they can manage their affairs. Anyway, this won't delay the master for long, and it won't be criticized yet. ”

The master's words are not bad at all, and the prefect thinks so.

"Okay, let's go see it."

After thinking about this, and thinking that what the master said was good, the prefect was going to the yamen lobby to summon them.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard behind the mansion, the master seemed to remember something, so he asked in a low voice while following the prefect: "Master, the little one just remembered that what to do with the pirates in the prison?" ”

When the prefect heard this, he didn't stop, and said, "Shut it up first, I don't believe that he has so much silver on him?" I guess there must be some more, but I don't know where the road is hidden, so I have to squeeze all his money out to solve them. ”

After the master got the prefect's meaning, he answered "I know", and followed the prefect out of the backyard.

At this time, Zhao Hongyu didn't know what to do, and it was in the cell of this prefect's yamen that a person he knew was being held (to be continued......
