362, three-way
The admiral of the coastal defense fleet was solemn, and after sending the Shenzhen party to Honglu Temple, he went to the palace alone to meet the emperor.
The Emperor of the Two Moons is actually the biggest admiral, the largest admiral of the middle lineage.
Inside the Twin Moon Bay, commanders of the middle lineage are the most numerous and prone to appear.
In addition, the emperor is polygamous, so the succession of the emperor is generally not a problem.
The emperor's family also has the most resources, and there are also a lot of ship girls in the middle system, and there is not much difference in strength.
Each generation of emperors can build a considerable number of ships with similar combat effectiveness of their own.
Therefore, in addition to the royal emperor and a courtier, the contradictions faced by other admirals are not very obvious here.
The current Emperor of the Two Moons is in his forties, and he is in the prime of life.
Like his predecessors, he had ambitions to unify the islands, but he lacked the power to do so.
And he knew that as time went by, more and more high-ranking ships were accumulated by other commands.
And the shipwives of the middle system have basically reached the limit, and the combat effectiveness is basically impossible to improve.
His control over the entire empire will become lower and lower as time passes.
So the state of the emperor himself is not good.
solemnly told the inner eunuch, waited for a long time, got the summons, and immediately followed the inner eunuch into the palace.
According to the etiquette requirements of the Shuangyue Dynasty, when any courtier saw the emperor, he should kneel, kowtow three times, get up, kneel again, and repeat it three times, for a total of three kneels and nine kowtows.
But now is not a public place, nor is it a court meeting, the key is that Yan Zheng is a minister that the emperor relies on very much, watching Yan Zheng kneel down and kowtow once, the emperor waved his hand and said:
"No courtesy."
With this response, the next two kneeling and eight knocking are not needed.
He solemnly stopped prostrating, knelt on the ground and bowed his hands, saying:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister has something important to tell Your Majesty."
Yan Zheng didn't get up, because the waiver just didn't have to continue to kowtow.
When talking to the emperor, you still have to kneel, which is called "kneeling", and you have to kneel no matter how long you speak.
If the other party is old, has a high status, and has been for a long time, the emperor may reward a "kneeling mat".
Bestow a seat? Inexistent.
"Flat" is possible, but it also depends on the emperor's mood.
The emperor looked at the solemnity:
"There are no outsiders here, what's the matter, let's talk about it."
Yan Zheng thanked him again, stood up carefully, and explained the situation of the Shenzhen fleet.
After listening to this, the emperor groaned slightly:
"You say, the admiral of the other party is of medium blood, but he has no less than one large battleship with 380 mm main guns?"
Solemnly bowed down and promised:
"Yes, when they came, they were on such a battleship, but the captain of this battleship was one of the two lowest in the entire team.
"So conservative estimates put no less than one battleship in nine people, and most likely a large aircraft carrier.
"In fact, the most important thing is that they look the same as the Chinese people, and the language is very similar.
Therefore, the minister suspects that the admirals of these ships may be the descendants of the countrymen who emigrated before the outbreak of the deep sea in the last era.
"This admiral and his ship concubines should also be regarded as subjects of Your Majesty, if they can serve Your Majesty, they should be able to subdue some foreign admirals who are not subject to the king."
The emperor's expression did not change at all, and he said very plainly:
"I see, you stand down."
Yan Zheng didn't know the emperor's thoughts, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he knelt down and kowtowed again, and then carefully took a few steps back before turning around and leaving the palace.
With one hand behind his back, the emperor paced back and forth in the room, and after a few turns:
"Someone, Xuan Honglu Siqing."
The inner supervisor who was waiting outside immediately arranged for someone to call Honglu Siqing over.
After the people arrived, after the ceremony was completed again, the emperor arranged a task for Honglu Siqing, so that he would go to meet with Shenzhen, Liaoning and other people early tomorrow morning.
Find a way to ask the location of this so-called Chinese naval command, the size of the fleet, how many battleships, how many aircraft carriers, how many cruisers, how many combat units, and whether there is an idea of returning to the roots.
At the same time, it is specially reminded that the majesty of the Celestial Empire must not be lost.
This was originally the work of Honglu Siqing, and now the emperor has specially advised, indicating that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, of course Honglu Siqing will not shirk, and hurriedly agreed.
…………
Shenzhen and his entourage are here.
The post house of Honglu Temple, at noon and evening, there are special personnel to send wine and food, although it is not as good as eating at home, but it is okay.
After this day, the parachute training of Qing Yu and his party was finally basically completed, and all members of the fleet were able to parachute into the sea normally.
So before dawn the next day, Mu Feng asked Qingyu and his party to set off on an early warning plane, and the Shuangyue Bay in front of them.
The whole Shuangyue Bay is very large, 3,000 kilometers long from east to west, and there are many places that do not have an island for hundreds of kilometers around.
When the sky was bright, more than 200 kilometers away from the outer capital of the Shuangyue Imperial Capital, there was a silent sea area.
A large AWACS aircraft suddenly lowered its altitude and landed below the clouds.
Then, a dozen umbrella flowers fell from the sky, and immediately after falling to the surface, they gathered to unfold the hull of a destroyer, and everyone boarded the ship, waiting for further orders.
In the morning, after breakfast, the welcome envoy guided the Shenzhen group to go around the corridor and came to the door of a classical living room.
An old man who looked to be over 70 years old, wearing an official uniform, with a chest-length beard, with a group of subordinates and entourage, stood at the door and bowed his hand slightly to the Shenzhen party, and said with a smile:
"This official Honglu Siqing, I heard that overseas remnants have come from afar and returned to their homeland, which is really a rare blessing in the past hundred years.
Honglu Siqing received the emperor's decree yesterday, and then learned about the situation of Shenzhen and others through solemnity.
Yesterday afternoon, I began to prepare a rhetoric, how to complete the emperor's task without a trace, and test the real purpose and thoughts of the other party.
So this time I will directly talk to see if the people in Shenzhen have the meaning of taking root locally.
When Shenzhen heard this, he waved his hand directly and said:
"Honglu Temple Qing said seriously, the purpose of our trip is to explore the ocean, and we happened to pass through this place.
"I found that the interior was densely populated, and the locals were similar to the image and language of our commander, so I came to visit and travel, and I didn't have the idea of staying here for a long time for the time being."
Honglu Siqing smiled, basically determined that the other party was not going to return to the roots, the first problem was solved, so he gently stroked the long beard on his chest:
"I see, let's not talk about this, let's talk about it."
Honglu Siqing took the Shenzhen group into the living room, sat down the guests, and the servants served tea.
