Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 742
Chapter 742
Due to the extremely inconvenient information transmission and transportation, after deciding to return to the voyage, it took several months to gather personnel from the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Prussia, Venice and many other countries. Lisbon pulled anchor and set sail, embarking on the long voyage home.
In the past five years, dozens of members of the mission, as well as those children, guards, servants, etc., have died in foreign countries due to various reasons. is the main reason.
Today's Europe does not have the kind of western medicine that was born in later generations. In the era without antibiotics, emergencies can only be resigned to fate.
Chinese medicine is relatively effective in the treatment of chronic diseases, but it is helpless in the face of emergencies.
Although Hu Fangwen, the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital who accompanied the team, had superb medical skills, he could only watch the sick person die slowly in front of his eyes. As a doctor who was helping the world, Hu Fangwen and others felt the pain and self-blame in their hearts when facing such a scene. Others have no way of knowing.
The bones of the victims were cremated on the spot and brought back to Daming in clay pots, and the subsequent compensation matters were handled by the imperial court.
With the experience of coming, the fleet deliberately made a large circle to the west when passing the Cape of Good Hope on the way back, avoiding the perennial storm-ravaged dangerous area. Although it took more than a month, the safety has been improved. Fully insured.
"I asked Dr. Hu just now, and he said that Mr. Di is fine now after the medicine and needles, but it is best to rest on land for a period of time, otherwise there will be future troubles, which will be very harmful to his lifespan .
Secretly, as the captain said just now, Manila is not far ahead. Can we stop at Manila Port for a while and let Mr. Di rest for a few days?
Staying at sea for a long time is indeed difficult for ordinary people, let alone patients.
Although it is impossible to communicate with other ships, I thought that there should be a lot of sick people. It is a pity that they are almost home, and they died on the way! "
Zheng Zhifeng suggested after repeating Hu Fangwen's words.
"Alright!
After arriving at the port of Manila, the sick people on each ship went ashore first to find a place to recuperate.
Once things go wrong, the fleet sets sail immediately!
What's more, Mingshan has to be patient for the time being. After all, I have a mission, and if I can't bear it, I will lose my plan. I will talk about everything after returning to China! "
Fang Yizhi made a decision after thinking about it for a while, but in the end he specifically asked Zheng Zhifeng a few words.
Due to time difference and abnormal information exchange, Fang Yizhi and the others did not know that the current Manila Port had changed hands.
They just learned from the Dutch government that Ming is likely to take military action against the Spaniards in Luzon, and the Spanish government is discussing sending troops to expedition to Ming.
Because of the self-humiliation of the Spanish mission in Daming, the relationship between the two countries has dropped to a freezing point, and the war between the two parties seems to be inevitable.
On the way to Europe, the fleet berthed in Manila to replenish fresh water and food. At that time, the Spaniards treated them very arrogantly and badly, and the cost of supplies was much higher than that of other ships. This is still famous in Zheng Zhifeng’s newspaper result after number.
Zheng Zhifeng wanted to return by boat in a fit of anger, and was going to return to Fujian to take the Zheng family fleet to teach the group of red barbarians a lesson. Fang Yizhi tried his best to stop him, but he endured it, but since then he has developed a strong dislike for the Spaniards. , threatened to teach the Spaniards how to look good after returning in the future.
With Zhu Youjian's orders first, and Manila's disadvantages later, the mission traveled to almost every country in Europe, but never visited Spain.
"to make!
I, Zheng Mingshan, am not a fool, a little humiliation is nothing!
At that time, just settle the old and new accounts with him!
If the government and army really want to attack Manila, then my Zheng family is duty-bound to send out elites to help out! "
After several years of traveling, Zheng Zhifeng has matured and stabilized a lot, and has a new understanding of many things. She has become more tactful and patient in dealing with people, and she has gradually focused on the overall situation when encountering problems, and her behavior is more in line with the court officials. image.
As the saying goes, look at the mountains and run dead horses.
The long-looming coastline seemed to be in sight, but the fleet still approached the northern shore of the Indian Ocean after floating on the sea for several days, and sailed along the northern shore for three days before arriving at the wide Manila Bay at noon that day.
Afterwards, a ship carrying officials and mission officials approached the shore first, preparing to negotiate with the Spaniards in the port so that all the fleet would berth and dock, while the other ships were not far from the shore. Anchored originally, waiting for the result of the negotiation with the first ship.
About an hour later, a small boat came towards the fleet. Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng, who were leaning on the side of the boat and looking around, looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise and ecstasy in each other's eyes.
Because on the mast of the incoming ship, a square yellow dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and there were several people standing at the bow of the ship. As the distance got closer, the clothes on these people became more and more clear.
Black armor, red hairpin tassels floating on the pot helmet-shaped hat.
This is the unique attire of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. Although the color of the armor is not bright red, the style is the same.
"Which one is Fang Shilang, Zheng Shaoqing?
This general is Zhang Wenyao, Admiral of the North Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty!
Hearing that Fang Shilang and Zheng Shaoqing have returned from a visit, I am here to welcome you two! "
It turned out that just after the members of the mission landed, Zhang Wenyao, who was wandering around the port of Manila, rushed over when he heard the news. Zhang Wenyao, who was worried that he had nothing to do all day, after hearing the brief explanation from the officials of the mission, he became excited. Immediately ordered the ship to leave the port, and personally greeted Fang Yizhi and Zheng Zhifeng who had returned from a long journey.
"Old Zhang, where are the Spanish prisoners kept?
I don't know if there is Hongyi who has jurisdiction over the port? "
Zheng Zhifeng and Zhang Wenyao, who landed on land, quickly became acquainted with each other on the boat. Both of them are people who like to talk nonsense, and soon found a common ground in the topic: women, common interests and hobbies make each other's relationship The relationship quickly drew closer, and before the fleet docked, the two began to call each other brothers, just like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"A lot of captives have been captured, because before the arrival, the Holy Majesty specially decreed that the Spanish captives should not be abused, so I did not make things difficult for them, and now they are all locked up in the city of Manila, with two meals a day in charge.
Old Zheng, why do you ask this?
Could it be that he was thinking about those Hongyi women?
Didn't you bring back some beautiful women this time?
By the way, when will Lao Zhang let me see him?
There are not many Spanish women who are outstanding. I don’t know what your vision is, Old Zheng, but what you brought back is stunning? "
Zhang Wenyao winked at Zheng Zhifeng and said.
"to make!
no problem!
Let Lao Zhang open your eyes later!
But first you have to do me a favor!
When the reward went to Europe, the Spanish tax official once humiliated me, and I have never been treated like this in a certain life, let alone that guy is a Westerner!
Over the past few years, I have been holding back a bad breath in my heart!
Someone is going to find that guy, so he can punish him!
I just hope that guy is still alive!
Somehow let him know what the result will be if he hates my Emperor Ming! "
