Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 238 The first aircraft test flight!

Murad bent over, cocked his head, and looked at Guo Ying, who was riding a tall horse, with a smile on his face.

Behind Guo Ying are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wearing armor and holding guns. Their continuous victories make them look like heavenly soldiers, majestic and majestic.

Behind Murad were groups of palace maids and guards, all of whom also kept a very low profile, not daring to look directly at Guo Ying and his party who were walking towards them. A little further behind was the magnificent palace of the Ottoman capital.

Guo Ying rode a tall horse, approaching step by step, almost reaching Murad, forcing him to take two steps back, then pulled the reins to stop, and then turned over and dismounted.

"His Majesty King Murad, we meet again," Guo Ying said calmly, with an extremely relaxed tone, as if he was strolling in his back garden.

Murad couldn't help but compare it in his mind again. The previous time, Guo Ying went to Osman as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was a guest, Guo Ying had to obey whatever Morad asked him to do.

Now that things have changed, Guo Ying even dares to ride a horse to humiliate him.

Although he was feeling aggrieved and a little angry, Murad still managed to smile and said:

"The envoy is here, but I was unable to welcome you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

Guo Ying waved her hand and said: "There is no need to waste your breath on such trivial matters."

"Uh..." Murad was a little speechless for a moment. It must be that no one has ever dared to deny him face like this.

Pushing away the maid's support, Murad stood up in fear and humbly said to Guo Ying:

"What are you doing here? Why don't you clean him up quickly?"

The Ming Emperor Zhu Xiongying's conditions were too harsh, and he simply wanted to eat his Ottoman country alive.

It was okay if he didn't say this, but when he said this, Guo Ying became angry.

A general behind Guo Ying handed Murad the decree sent from the Ming Dynasty. The latter opened it and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more bitter his face became.

Murad was frightened by the sight in front of him for a moment. After reacting, he quickly waved his hands to have the body on the ground taken away.

"Give him the stuff."

"General Guo Ying, what happened back then was my fault. I was too blind to see the mountains. You, sir, have a lot, so don't argue with me."

Murad didn't dare to move, letting Guo Ying do whatever he wanted on his luxurious gold silk clothes.

When Guo Ying returned to the Ming Dynasty, he almost became the laughing stock of many generals, who would make fun of him from time to time. Guo Ying could only endure it. He brought 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled to Osman and was humiliated by Murad. The matter is really disgraceful.

There were dozens of various requirements written in that decree. Let’s take a look at the important ones. The general meaning is:

The Ming Dynasty could accept the surrender of the Ottomans, but if the Ottomans wanted to keep the current national name and continue to use it, they would have to accept the Ming Dynasty demarcating and stationing troops in the Ottoman country.

Not only did Murad not remember the kindness of the guard, but he also scolded him for being stupid. He even wanted to talk down to Guo Ying. He was so blind that his death would be in vain. If he angered Guo Ying and caused trouble, Murad won't even spare his family!

A guard next to Murad, seeing Guo Ying being rude to his king, immediately glared at Guo Ying and shouted angrily:

"How dare you disrespect the king!"

Guo Ying looked at him coldly, sheathed the big knife in his hand, took two steps forward, reached out to wipe away the blood stains on Murad's face, and then wiped his hands on Murad.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty will set up another Ottoman Envoy, and this Ottoman Envoy can control almost all the affairs of the Ottoman country, up to the appointment and dismissal of the king, no lower limit. Osman will also announce to the outside world that he has become the Ming Dynasty. vassal country.

"General Guo Ying, at least we still have our previous friendship. I didn't treat you badly when you came to Osman. You don't need to be so harsh, right?" Murad rubbed his hands awkwardly.

The last time he was sent as an envoy to Osman on Zhu Xiongying's order, he was kicked out by Murad at the end and humiliated in public.

Guo Ying didn't understand what he was saying, but she also knew that he didn't say anything nice. Before the translator could translate, he pulled out the big knife from his waist and cut the man in half with one blow, and blood spattered Murad all over.

"Huh!" Guo Ying snorted coldly, waved his hand, and almost hit Morad in the face, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. The white cloth and pure gold crown covering his head fell to the ground. .

"Noisy." Guo Ying said coldly.

"Okay, now we can have a good talk." Guo Ying wiped her hands clean and patted Murad's face before saying.

The specific breakdown is also Ottoman's. The mining rights of all non-renewable minerals must also belong to the Ming Dynasty, and 70% of the profits from shipping and other trade will be handed over to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the Ottoman king must pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and at the same time select princes to study in the Ming Dynasty. This step was proposed by Cao Wei, with the purpose of brainwashing those future Ottoman leaders so that they will always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty...

These requirements are not undemanding. Murad almost cried when he saw the end.

"Guo, General Guo Ying, these requirements are really difficult to meet. Can you give us some leniency?"

Guo Ying had a dark face and frowned:

"Is it difficult? Is it more difficult to accept than if we continue to attack your Ottoman country and make you, the king, a prisoner?"

Guo Ying's attitude is very firm. Negotiation is impossible. The conditions are set here for you. Either you accept, we will follow what the contract says. If you don't accept, we will continue to attack. It's up to you.

Murad's face was ashen, but he finally nodded. Facing the powerful Ming Dynasty, he had no room for resistance at all. The current situation is just that people are fighting against each other, and I am just a fish.

"I accept."

Guo Ying finally stopped sullen, and the bad breath finally came out.

No matter how uncomfortable Murad felt, he still ordered a big banquet to celebrate becoming a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

At the banquet, he was even more groveling to Guo Ying, serving tea and pouring wine, as if he had become the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty.

Three days later,

Lan Yu and Zhu Di came to the Ottoman capital together to hold a ceremony to establish diplomatic relations with Murad. Most of the rights in Murad's hands were taken over by the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Xiongying's order, Lan Yu and Zhu Di arranged the corresponding matters in the Ottoman Empire before returning to the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Zhu Di did not need to follow Lan Yu back to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Xiongying invited him back to the Ming Dynasty in the name of successfully conquering the Ottomans.

In addition, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's health is getting worse and worse, and he also wants to see Zhu Di again.

And Murad, as the king of the defeated country, also has to go to Daming to meet Zhu Xiongying.

When everyone returned to the Ming Dynasty again, they learned that Cao Wei's wife, Zhu Hanming, had already given Cao Wei another daughter.

However, everyone went to the palace first to meet Emperor Zhu Xiongying.

As a victorious country, and the benefits obtained were immeasurable, Zhu Xiongying was very happy and also ordered a big banquet.

There were many people at this banquet, and almost everyone with names and surnames came. Cao Wei's family was sitting in the first place below Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yuanzhang. In Cao Wei's arms, there was a baby girl wrapped in swaddling clothes. She was Cao Wei's daughter. , Cao Yin. People kept coming to Cao Wei at the banquet to see his newly born daughter. The little girl was just like Cao Lin back then, with pink and jade-like faces, and her big eyes twinkling, she was really cute.

When people came to see Cao Yin, they would not forget to toast Cao Wei. After a while, Cao Wei's face turned red, and Zhu Hanming saw this and took Cao Yin into his arms.

Next to Zhu Hanming is Cao Lin. This boy's body has grown longer and wider, almost becoming a young man. The shadow of Cao Wei can be seen between his eyebrows, but this guy's eyes move flexibly from time to time, making him look like a jumper. His temper, if Cao Wei hadn't deliberately warned him when he came, he would have been having fun all over the house by this time.

Zhu Hanming noticed her son's restlessness, and turned around from the smiling face of Cao Yin who was coaxing him. She approached Cao Lin, still maintaining the smile on her face, and whispered.

"Today is different from the past. If you cause trouble, make a joke, and disgrace your father, I will skin you when you get back!"

Cao Lin, who was ready to make a move just now, suddenly wilts and feels sad. Sometimes, her mother is more terrifying than her father...

Because of Lan Yu and Zhu Di's meritorious service in the battle, Zhu Xiongying followed up the warm atmosphere of the banquet with a lot of praise and rewards for the two.

After speaking, Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang next to him, and felt relieved when he saw that he didn't make a sound.

This banquet was just to build momentum for Lan Yu and make him revive. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop him, there would be basically no problem.

Zhu Di and Lan Yu thanked Zhu Xiongying, especially Lan Yu, who was so excited that she almost smashed the floor tiles.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang closed the door for him and almost caused Lan Yu to die. Now Zhu Xiongying opened the door for him, allowing Lan Yu to see hope again.

It just depends on how far he goes in the future.

At the end of the banquet, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong drank wine boredly, but he shrank his head and avoided his eyes, as if he was afraid that someone would see him.

But he is such a big man, so how can you not see him if you are looking for him intentionally?

Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying's sharp gazes would glance over from time to time, making Li Jinglong feel nervous for a while.

After Lan Yu returned to her seat after thanking him, she glared at Li Jinglong with lightning-like eyes. The threat was so clear that the latter's scalp went numb and he could only shrink back.

Finally, there was the Ottoman King Morad. Zhu Xiongying greeted him and then comforted him, saying that as long as he followed the Ming Dynasty honestly and did not have inappropriate thoughts, Osman would always be well.

Murad had also accepted the reality and respectfully toasted Zhu Xiongying, saying that it was their honor to become a vassal state of such a powerful country as the Ming Dynasty.

Soon after the banquet dispersed, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Zhu Hanming and wanted to hug his granddaughter, but found that the little girl had fallen asleep. He pursed his lips in disappointment and was led back by the palace maid.

The next day,

Zhu Xiongying once again formally conferred Murad's vassal status in the main hall. The two sides talked about the scene again. The matter was basically set, and then Murad began to return to Ottoman.

Although most of Ottoman affairs have been handed over to the Ming Dynasty, he is still the nominal Ottoman king.

On the other side, Cao Mansion.

Zhu Di, who has become the king of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, does not have to go to court. He was chatting with Cao Wei when a fat figure came in from the door, wearing the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty. He was Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi.

"Father," Zhu Gaochi finally saw Zhu Di again, his eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground from a distance, kowtow and salute.

Zhu Di was also shocked in his heart and his eyes were sighing:

"Get up, get up, isn't it a joke for a grown man to act like a daughter to make Master Cao laugh?" Zhu Di was moved in his heart, but his words were very casual. This was a tough talk.

Cao Wei curled his lips. Zhu Di was still talking about his son. He was sitting there and blinking.

Zhu Gaochi responded, stood up, and came to the two of them. Cao Wei asked him to sit down, and Zhu Di and his son began to greet each other.

Zhu Gaochi was already a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was considered a high-ranking official, and his affairs were not too heavy. Zhu Xiongying could also be considered to take care of Zhu Gaochi.

"Grandmaster Cao takes great care of me. Father doesn't have to worry about his son."

After asking about Zhu Gaochi's current situation, Zhu Di felt relieved and looked at Cao Wei with a look of gratitude.

Cao Wei waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "It's a small matter, it's a small matter."

Zhu Di nodded and stopped saying those polite words. However, after he returned to the Sun and Moon Kingdom, he prepared a staggeringly generous gift and sent it back to Cao Wei to celebrate Cao Yin's birth. This is a story later.

"I heard that you are developing something again, saying it can take people to fly to the sky?" Zhu Di asked.

Cao Wei glanced at him in surprise, "I've only been back for a day and I know that you are quite well-informed."

"Yes, the scientific research institute is developing an aircraft. The internal combustion engine test has been initially stabilized and is undergoing loading test flights."

Almost everyone has a good hope for human beings to fly into the sky. Zhu Di couldn't help but be curious when he heard this.

"Oh? Can you take us to see it?"

"Little things, small things," Cao Wei said, already standing up, "Let's open your eyes."

The three of them came to the scientific research institute. All the staff greeted Cao Wei, and Cao Wei nodded in response.

When they came inside, they saw Xie Jin and others working on a plane. Everyone was busy loading an "iron lump" into the power cabin of the plane.

The aircraft mentioned here has an extremely simple shape, which is very different from the aircraft built by the Wright brothers in later generations. The difference is that Xie Jin and others made some improvements on the basis after rigorous calculations.

The plane was not very big as a whole, as it was only meant to carry one or two people, but looking at the iron thing, which was about ten meters long in front and back, Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder.

"This... this plane is made entirely of steel. Can it fly with such a heavy weight?"

Cao Wei watched Xie Jin and the others busy at work, nodded without any hesitation, and said with certainty:

"Yes! It must be possible!"

Xie Jin and others finally finished debugging everything, turned around and saw Cao Wei, coming over to report to him.

"Teacher, based on the results of the last test flight, adjustments have been made and it can be tested again."

Cao Wei nodded, "Then try again."
