Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2338
Jackson and the others were very peaceful in the posthouse.

There is no intention of spying.

After Fang Er got the news, he breathed a sigh of relief, so he ordered someone to invite Jackson and others the next day.

When Jackson and others saw Fang Er, Fang Er's attitude was normal, and he didn't mean to belittle them, but he didn't say any special welcome to them either.

"You all come from the European country. Our Tang Dynasty has never heard of this country before. Why did you come to my Datang?"

Faced with this, Jackson did not hide anything, and said: "Our country is thousands of kilometers away from you, and it takes about ten months to get there by boat. The reason why you came to Datang is because you A merchant ship of Tang was killed at sea, and one of the Tang people drifted to our country. After our queen heard about some things about Datang, she became very interested in your Datang, so I hope that our two countries can strengthen some exchanges and mutual development, so the queen sent me, Earl Jackson."

When Fang Er first heard it, he was fine, but when he heard the queen, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Queen, is the king of your European country a woman?"

He still looks down on women. How can the king of a country be a woman? If it is a woman, how can they pass on the family line? How can the throne be inherited?

This kind of problem makes me feel headache when I think about it.

Most importantly, Fang Er disapproved of women showing their heads in public.

So subconsciously, he has a little contempt for this so-called European country.

On Jackson's side, he didn't notice anything, but there was a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Yes, our king of Europe is a woman, and a great woman at that."

Fang Er rolled his eyes, and said: "Our Tang Dynasty is not interested in the affairs of your country. If you want to meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you need to send a memorial to Beijing. If the court agrees, you can do it." Leave here and go to the capital. During this time, you can continue to stay in the post house. If you need anything, you can tell the people in the post house and let them buy it for you."

In other words, you don't want them running around.

Jackson didn't think that meeting the emperor of Tang Dynasty would be so troublesome, but he still endured it. He endured the ten-month sea trip, let alone the current one month?

In his opinion, it may take half a month to transmit news from Jinmen to Chang'an City, so it will only take one month, one month, and he can still bear it.

Therefore, Jackson naturally agreed, and then left with his own people and returned to the post house.

Here, Fang Er ordered people to fly pigeons to pass the letter, reporting the situation in Europe.

Pigeons fly very fast, and there are stations along the way. These pigeons only need to fly to the next station. Then, new pigeons will fly instead of them until the news is sent to Chang'an City.

This speed is very fast, and it only takes a few days.

A few days later, Fang Er's news was sent to Chang'an, the capital city.

Early this morning, an official came forward.

"Your Majesty, Fang Er, the magistrate of Jinmen County, sent news that there is a European country, and they sent envoys to our Tang Dynasty, hoping to visit the Holy Majesty."

"Ou Guo?" Li Chengqian's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he asked: "Have those of us who went to sea described the situation in Ou Guo?"

"Hui Sheng told me that after all the people who went to sea came back, they never mentioned the European country."

The imperial court had special personnel to record some experiences of these navigators on the way, and after they returned, they would hand over these observations to the imperial court, and the specialized personnel would sort them out, and use them to learn about overseas countries.

But this European country, they have never heard of it before.

But if their people have never been to the European country, how could the European country send envoys to their Great Tang?
The officials in the DPRK are not stupid, and soon they thought of several possibilities. First, their merchant ships arrived in Europe, but their people did not come back, so their people may be imprisoned by the people of Europe Yes, and this European wolf is ambitious, sending envoys here, I am afraid that he has other plans.

Or, this European country, like their Great Tang, also encourages going to sea, and their ships floated to their Great Tang, so they came to see them.

And these two situations, no matter which one they are, are enough to show that the strength of this European country is not weak, and they are very dangerous.

In the DPRK, some officials talked about these two situations, and after the two situations were finished, they were quickly recognized by other officials.

"That's right, that's right, it's very likely that's the case, Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Ou Guo's heart is not right, so in my opinion, just drive them out."

"That's right, that's right, drive them away, we won't see them, let them go where they should go, and go back there."

"Extremely, extremely, my lord, we don't see them."

"That's right, no see..."

Everyone didn't want to see them. In their view, as long as they didn't see them, all troubles could be avoided.

Li Chengqian thought for a moment, looked at Qin Tian, ​​and said, "King of Xiliang, what do you think about this?"

Qin Tian looked calm, and said: "Your Majesty, there are some problems, and it is impossible to avoid them. Since this European country has appeared, we must face him squarely. Maybe this European country wants to understand our Great Tang. The few of them If they found our European country, they must use other methods to send people to infiltrate our Tang Dynasty to understand our Tang Dynasty, but we still don’t know the situation in their European country. In this case, it is better to face it."

If there is a difficulty, if it is not resolved, then this difficulty will always be a difficulty. Only by facing this difficulty can there be a turning point for this matter.

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Chengqian suddenly realized something. He suddenly felt that Qin Tian looked at problems very directly and always gave people a feeling of enlightenment.

"What the King of Xiliang said is right. Since they are here, then our Tang Dynasty will catch them. Is it possible that my Tang Dynasty is still afraid of them?"

"That's right, that's right, let them come, I want to see how powerful these Europeans are."

"That is, let them come. Whoever is afraid of them is a puppy."

"........."

The officials in the DPRK immediately changed their words. Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian was also full of ambition, nodded, and said: "Okay, since everyone thinks that we should face this sudden European country, then send someone to Fang Second, send a message, let him send someone to send those European envoys."

"Here!"
