Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 342
Facing the humble words of the French envoy, Zhu Zhanqian did not leave France any face, and said lightly that you are not worthy.

The French envoy showed embarrassment. In his opinion, the prince of Ming Dynasty didn't take France seriously at all, and it could even be said that he had no manners at all.

But is your French etiquette useful to the prince of Ming Dynasty?Is it useful for the strongest fleet in this sea?
"His Royal Highness, I am here with the friendship of our King of France..."

"When your king cuts off our Ming military flag, we can't have friendship. When your king insults my best friend Zheng He, we will never die. Go back and tell your king to get him ready. All the troops, all the weapons and equipment, are ready to meet the artillery fire from our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanqian's resolute words startled the other party. Normally, they would never threaten such a fierce lord when they were envoys to other countries, even the most rude lord.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to burn people's lives? Do you want countless civilians to die tragically?"

Zhu Zhanqian looked at him coldly, with contempt in his eyes: "Do you want to threaten me with civilians? Hypocritical Westerners, in our culture, if there is a war, civilians will be evacuated immediately, but you Wanting to use civilians as your shield, trying to kidnap me morally, your little tricks are useless in my opinion."

The French envoy who was directly pointed out looked very ugly.

In the high-level meetings of the Europa people, there is always hypocrisy and hypocrisy. Everyone says that they are for the sake of the people, but in practice, if they suck less blood, it is God's grace.

Daming people don't do this with them.

I won't come with you, if you want to come, just tell my gun barrel.

The envoy suppressed the anger in his heart, and said humbly: "His Royal Highness, we in France have great sincerity to form a friendly alliance with you, so as to prevent people from dying and blood flowing into rivers. His Royal Highness promises to pay tribute to Daming after he ascends the throne."

Zhu Zhanqian said playfully, "So did you come by the order of your prince or by the order of your king?"

"This……"

The messenger was a little embarrassed, obviously he belonged to the prince, but he couldn't say it so bluntly, after all, the king was still there, even though the king was a lunatic.

Zhu Zhanqian stretched out a finger and tapped the table in front of him: "If your prince is really sincere, hand over your king and the Duke of Burgundy to me to show Daming that you are sincere enough, maybe we We can communicate in another way.”

The envoys naturally understood that they couldn't meet Zhu Zhanqian's conditions. It wasn't a question of whether they wanted to do it or not, but that the prince of France didn't have this ability either.

Although he has been accumulating strength during this period of time and regaining lost ground has made him more and more famous in France, but because of the unfavorable things about rescuing Joan of Arc, he is also criticized in the army. He is now unable to capture the king and Bob. The Duke of Gundy came to present Zhu Zhanqian.

"Go back and tell your king, prince, the Duke of Burgundy, or the Duke of Bordeaux, the Duke of Vaseline, etc. Our Daming Dragon Banner, which was cut off by you rudely, will be filled with you Land of France."

After Zhu Zhanqian finished speaking, he took his people and left.

"It's not good, it's not good, there's a riot."

Not long after leaving, a riot broke out in the city of London. It was only a few days after Daming took over the city of London. Riots are normal, but this time people all hit the gate of the flower garden and were repelled by Daming's army.

Riots can be expected, and not everyone is willing to accept the rule of Ming Dynasty, and there will be more in the future. In order to avoid continuous riots, Zhu Zhanqian summoned Duke Humphrey.

As soon as Duke Humphrey came in front of Zhu Zhanqian, he respectfully knelt down on one knee and saluted: "My respected Highness Haiwang, I was summoned by you, and I came immediately."

"Duke Humphrey, you are polite. Now that you are the leader of Ingoland and a member of the Western Federation, you don't need to salute like this."

Duke Humphrey said with a smile: "I respect Your Highness from the bottom of my heart, and it has nothing to do with anything else."

Humphrey knew exactly what position he was the Duke Regent.

Zhu Zhanqian nodded with satisfaction: "Recently there have been several small-scale rebellions in the city of London recently. Today, even protesters blocked the flower garden. What do you think of this matter?"

Duke Humphrey hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, don't worry, your subordinates will calm down these rebels who don't know what to do or what to do as soon as possible."

Zhu Zhanqian was playing with the small Ingolan toy in his hand, and threw it aside when he thought it was not fun, and said earnestly: "Duke Humphrey, if the people are ignorant, you must educate them, and the nobles must warn them if they are ignorant. It’s almost the same, let these people do things well, and I will blame all of you for anything like today.”

Duke Humphrey hastily expressed: "Your Highness, I will do my best to never let such a thing happen again."

"By the way, Duke John and the little king have been sent to your house, and you should take good care of them yourself."

"understand."

After explaining these things, Zhu Zhanqian went to see Mrs. Catherine and Owen Tudor. At this time, Owen Tudor had already confessed after being punished by Hou Xian, and did not punish Mrs. Catherine, so she was still stubborn. with.

A stubborn woman is not a good woman.

Hou Xian handed over Owen Tudor's recognized crimes to Zhu Zhanqian, and Owen Tudor himself was mentioned in front of Zhu Zhanqian. At this time, Owen Tudor looked very weak, but there was no trauma. , the method used by Hou Xian and others is amazing.

Zhu Zhanqian looked at the recognized crime, and Hou Xian explained it beside him.

"Owen Tudor confessed that when Duke John bought Zheng He and sent it to Ingoland by ship, Lady Catherine ordered someone to detain him first, because it was Duke Humphrey who had been negotiating the deal with Daming before. Lady Catherine just wants to get involved."

"After detaining Zheng He, they locked Zheng He in the underground secret room of this flower garden. Lady Catherine wanted to talk to Daming by herself, but she found that she did not have the ability at that time. The government was mostly controlled by Duke Humphrey. Understood, the two had some conflicts at that time."

"She tortured Lord Zheng He, and wanted to extract the secrets of steam warship construction from Zheng He's population. She wanted to obtain this advanced technology, build her own steam warship, and then occupy France."

Zhu Zhanqian asked with anger in his eyes, "Why did they cut off Zheng He's tongue?"

There was also resentment in Hou Xian's eyes.

"Master Zheng He didn't tell them anything, and they still want to exchange Zheng He for a steam warship. Mrs. Catherine is a vicious woman. She said that since Mr. Zheng He is so unwilling to speak, she should never speak again. She is also worried about their torture. Mr. Zheng He's affairs were told by Mr. Zheng He, so he ordered someone to cut off Mr. Zheng He's tongue. At that time, Mr. Zheng He had no hands or feet, and as long as he could not speak, others would not know anything."

Zhu Zhanqian walked up to Owen Tudor: "Cut off his tongue just because he was afraid that he would tell us that he was imprisoned by you, and the truth of the punishment?"

Owen Tudor raised his head to look at Zhu Zhanqian with fear on his face.

Those who greeted him were a pair of lifeless eyes, staring straight at him, like a demon coming out of the underworld, seeming to hide the power of a demon that would tear and devour people.

Owen Tudor was sweating and trembling all over.

"Our lord is asking you something!" Hou Xian yelled at the side, Owen Tudor was so scared that he peed his pants directly, and it was obvious that the punishment Hou Xian used before was still fresh in his memory.

Owen Tudor said tremblingly, "Kay... Kay... Mrs. Catherine asked the envoy why she came to Ingoland, and the envoy said that it was because their prince told him He said that the world is round, and he wants to go around the world, Madam Catherine thought he was a liar, and people in Ming Dynasty were all fools, but the messenger refuted Madam Catherine, he said...he said."

"What did he say?"

"If the world has an end, I would like to see it. Even if I die in it, I will be happy. If the world has no end, I want to prove to the world that there is no road in this world. There is a road when I walk through it. I want to Travel thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of miles, and millions of miles, so that future generations of Ming Dynasty will have a way to follow."

This was what Zhu Zhanqian said when he encouraged Zheng He to go to sea.

"Just because he said that, and then you cut his tongue."

Owen Tudor swallowed: "Mrs. Catherine said that the people of Ming Dynasty are all lying, so they cut off their tongues."

As long as we can't talk, then everything is what they say is right and has the final say.

She wants to deprive us of the right to speak, just as it has been for a long time, as it will be for a long time, as long as we have no right to speak, then they will always have the final say and they are right.

Eloquent with the dumb, and painting with the blind.

They are afraid that the dumb will speak, and that the blind will see the truth.

Zhu Zhanqian closed his eyes and meditated. Zheng He traveled thousands of miles and millions of miles. In the future, the children and grandchildren of Ming Dynasty will have a way to go.

"Zheng He, Zheng He." Zhu Zhanqian muttered to himself.

"Your Highness, the death of Owen Tudor and Lady Catherine is not a pity. Let us avenge Lord Zheng He." Hou Xian wanted to avenge Zheng He now, but he did not dare to do it without Zhu Zhanqian's permission.

Zhu Zhanqian took a deep breath: "The Demon Empress Yinggelan and her male favorite Owen Tudor, fornicated the Yinggelan court, lived extravagantly, and persecuted the people of Yinggelan. The Demon Queen is now in jail pending trial."

"Your Highness!!" Hou Xian looked at Zhu Zhanqian in disbelief, why Zhu Zhanqian didn't do anything to Madam Catherine at this time.

Zhu Zhanqian understood his eagerness, but continued to say: "Put the demon queen in prison pending trial. Before that, they locked Zheng He's secret room and punished her with female torture every day. They couldn't stop every day, and they couldn't rest every day. After I conquered France, I shared it with the King of France and the Duke of Burgundy."

"Owen Tudor, the male favorite of the demon queen, confuses the demon queen with masculinity, orders castration, and the queen and the demon queen are locked together every day, watching the demon queen suffer torture."

Hou Xian immediately took orders and said, "His Royal Highness, leave it to Wei Chen at this time."

"Well, you go, remember to save your life."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Hou Xian led the people down, and Zhu Zhanqian said to Yang Feng again: "Head the order back to New Shanghai City, let Xiaosheng send people back to Daming, and invite the imperial censor Taidu Yushi, the minister of the Dali Temple, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to play with your majesty." Come to Ingoland."

Yang Feng looked at Zhu Zhanqian rather puzzled, not knowing why he asked these people to come, but he didn't ask, and went down to make arrangements after receiving his order.

Zhu Zhanqian sat alone and looked at the flowers in the yard. He wanted to be alone, facing the sea of ​​flowers and turning his back to the world.

Hu Shanwei, Alia and Zara all looked at him not far away, and the two young girls said worriedly: "Sister Hu, is a person like Your Highness really okay?"

"His Highness is sad because of Zheng He's incident, and we can't help. We can only comfort His Highness and make His Highness feel at ease."

"Sister Hu, go and comfort His Highness, I have rarely seen His Highness look so sad."

Hu Shanwei thought for a while, then walked over.

She walked through the path full of flowers and came to Zhu Zhanqian.

"Dian..." Just as he was about to speak, he found Zhu Zhanqian lowered his head, and tears were falling down at this moment.

He cried, yes, Zhu Zhanqian cried, Zhu Zhanqian, who has seen so many storms and waves and never shed a tear, was crying alone looking at the gorgeous sea of ​​flowers.

All the words he had thought to comfort Zhu Zhanqian disappeared in an instant. Hu Shanwei stretched out his hands and held Zhu Zhanqin's head tightly in his arms, comforting him with his own warm body temperature.

"It's all my fault. I used bold words to let Zheng He go to sea. Zheng He has suffered so much along the way, so many hardships. If you still remember me, if it weren't for me, Zheng He would definitely not end up in such a miserable end. .”

Zhu Zhanchen blamed himself very much. Back then, everyone thought that Zheng He was a fool. He listened to a child and actually went to sea to find the end of the world.

All the teasing at him the day he got back turned to praise.

The slander I endured will eventually turn into praise, and the pain I endured will be laughed at, but who will comfort my heart, and who will warm my ragged body.

Zhu Zhanqian cried wantonly in the warm and soft arms, Hu Shanwei gently touched Zhu Zhanqin's head, the two of them did not say a word, the fragrance of nephrite among the thousands of flowers, the warm sun and warmth.

After Zhu Zhanqian wiped away his tears, the eyes that had just shed tears were now extremely determined. He hugged Hu Shanwei's waist, and said softly, "Thank you, Shanwei."

"Your Highness is His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty. His Highness cannot cry in ordinary places, but in Shanwei's arms." Hu Shanwei smiled lightly.

Zhu Zhanqian said firmly: "Since they don't want us to speak, and they don't want us to have the right to speak, then we should speak even more, and speak more, so that the whole world can hear it."
