This time, Gu Hou Shen Gengzhong brought back tens of thousands of prisoners, but if you want to talk about heavyweights, there is no doubt that they are the group of people who were brought to the hall in front of them.

King Manuel I of Portugal and members of the royal family.

Zhu Houwei didn't know much about European countries, but he knew a little, after all, in later generations, he liked the Ming Dynasty and the history of the Ming Dynasty, so he was naturally a little interested in Europe at the same time as the Ming Dynasty.

The half-hundred-hundred-year-old man in front of him should be the king of Portugal, Manuel I, this guy can barely be regarded as a hero if he is placed in Europe, during his reign, the Portuguese royal power reached its peak, and he also built a fleet to continue to explore the world.

The Portuguese fleet extended its tentacles to Asia and landed in India to colonize it.

In the second year of Jiajing, the Portuguese army arrived in Tuen Mun (Hong Kong New Territories), wanted to establish a colonial regime in Tuen Mun, and was expelled by the Ming army to break out the Tuen Mun Naval Battle.

So the Portuguese fleet was beaten and fled......

In general, Manuel I was not only a devout Christian, but also a king with some means.

At Manuel I's side was a sick woman, presumably Maria of Aragon, Manuel's princess, she married her brother-in-law after the death of her sister Isabella of Aragon, according to the trajectory of history, after her death, it was Eleonore who became the princess, and Eleonore was Manuel's aunt, a generation younger, or close......

In addition to the king and the princess, they are the children of the two, among which Joao and Enrique have both been kings of Portugal, but now one of the two is only in his teens, and the other is only three or four years old, and Zhu Houwei can't tell the difference.

However, what interested Zhu Houwei was the girl, the two girls looked like they were sixteen or seventeen years old, full of youth, and a faint aristocratic temperament, but after all, it was difficult to hide a trace of fear in their eyes.

The two girls, Zhu Houwei, knew one because he knew that one of Manuel's daughters eventually became the empress of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and the queen of the King of Spain, because the King of Spain was concurrently held by Charles V......

Similarly, Zhu Houwei can't tell who these two girls are.

However, there is no need to distinguish clearly, with the Ming army annihilating the Kingdom of Portugal, then their fate has changed completely, at least in this life, there will be no chance to return to Europe.

Manuel looked a little haggard, but after all, he was the king of a country, even if he became a captive, he was not mistreated after all, but at this time he was completely stunned.

As a monarch who wanted to make a difference, he was ambitious and believed that the fleet he built after he became king was invincible, and that the Portuguese armada would surely reach every corner of the world with the will of Portugal, and he did......

However, reality has dealt him a heavy blow!

Two or three years ago, his fleet came to the mysterious East, where he encountered an extremely ancient people, the Portuguese armada, defeated at sea, suffered heavy losses, and finally fled back in disgrace.

Now he has come to the East, even if it is a captive, and the captive of him is the ancient country of the East that defeated the Portuguese Armada a few years ago!

In the past few months of sea voyage, he has imagined countless times the scene after stepping on the ancient country of the East, and even learned the language from the Oriental people in the form of pictures on the ship, but the language of the East is too difficult, and he has only learned a little bit of the surface after a few months of learning.

But this was not enough to shock him, what shocked him was when he set foot on this ancient country.

In Tianjinwei, he saw a sea of people, and the crowd as far as he could see cheered to greet their army, and then he boarded the train......

No words can describe the shock he felt when he saw the lightning-fast scene on the train, tens of thousands of people!

The steel monster carrying tens of thousands of people galloped like a horse on the slender rails, which was a miracle that even the great pope could not do!

He had never been so shocked when he saw the steel battleship conquering the waves on the ocean, but now he had to be shocked, and even thought that if Portugal had this steel monster that could fly as fast as a flight and the kind of giant ship that was invincible on the sea and could blast his fleet to pieces with a single attack, then he believed that he would be able to dominate Europe in his lifetime, replace the Holy Roman Empire, and become the absolute hegemon of Europe!

But all this can only be fantasy.

Soon, he was brought into the city of Peking, and Manuel swore that he had never seen such a majestic city, not in all of Europe, including the Vatican, where the Holy See was located!

He hadn't seen so many people before, and the constant flow of people throughout the city made Manuel feel like a dirt bun who had just entered the city from the countryside, and the clean and tidy streets were in stark contrast to the stench of Lisbon, and when he was in a hurry, he was taken to a place called a public toilet, and then learned that the street toileting, which is extremely common in Europe, will be punished heavily!

The soldiers in standard uniforms walked neatly in the streets, maintaining law and order in the city, and they seemed so orderly.

Then he came to the Forbidden City, and the shock in his heart reached its peak at that moment.

There is no way not to be shocked, in the past few months at sea, he has been thinking about what kind of scene he will be when he faces the king of the ancient country of the East, he has not imagined what kind of fate he will fall into, because he is the king of Portugal, even if he is defeated and taken prisoner, he should have his own glory.

However, at that moment, all Manuel's glory was shattered, and he couldn't help but compare his palace with the Forbidden City, and then sadly found that he was in the palace as a dilapidated tiled house......

Shocked and curious, Manuel was brought into the main hall and saw the emperor seated on it, a young man about the same age as he had been when he had inherited the throne......

"Wei ...... Bigger...... Emperor Daming...... National ...... King, Manuel, for you...... Say hello. Manuel didn't stutter, but his Chinese skills were so poor that he had practiced this sentence for a long time.

"Bold!" Yang Yiqing shouted angrily: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Ming Empire, how dare you call him a king!"

Manuel frowned incomprehensibly in the face of Yang Yiqing, who was furious, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence......

Zhu Houwei smiled and waved his hand, but Yang Yiqing could only retreat.
