Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 1034

It was another afternoon, and Xia Xun was still drinking tea in Dake's courtyard.Uploaded by netizens==("")

In a corner of the courtyard, under a linden tree, Tang Sai'er and Jeanna were doing something. Duck, the father who doted on his daughter, could only stand aside helplessly, watching them play games.

Tang Saier asked Rangna to tie her to the linden tree. Under Tang Saier's prompting, little Rangna checked several times to confirm that she was tied tightly, and it was impossible for Tang Saier to break free. nodded.

Tang Sai'er grinned and said, "Okay, turn around, count to three, and then turn around again! Uncle Dake, you too!"

"These two children!"

Duck smiled helplessly and turned around with his daughter, counting: "One, two, three!"

Turning around together, they were surprised to find that Tang Sai'er was standing behind them with a smile, and the rope was still tied to the tree and dropped to the ground.

"My God! How did you do it!"

Duck ran over in surprise and checked the rope repeatedly, and Jeanna also grabbed Tang Sai'er in surprise and asked repeatedly.

Tang Sai'er proudly said: "This unbinding technique is nothing. I'll test your ventriloquism in a while. If you have practiced it well, I will teach you. My master also taught me the fire escape technique, which is the highest method in my class." , I started learning it at the age of six, and I did it at the age of 12. As long as you study hard, I will pass it on to you later!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Rangna nodded her head like pecking rice, Tang Sai'er brushed her fiery red hair, and the two of them laughed happily together.

At this time, Jiang Xu, the interpreter, ran into the yard of Dake's house panting, and said to Xia Xun with a bright eyebrow: "My lord, Eunuch Zheng is here! Eunuch Zheng's fleet has arrived!"

Xia Xun suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "He really came! I knew that he would not disappoint me!"

The arrival of Zheng He's fleet shocked the entire Mediterranean Sea. These orientals were driving an unimaginable giant ship. The ship carried as many people as a city. The giant ship was basically a floating city. ("")

Zheng He's fleet had just sailed into the Strait of Gibraltar, and merchant ships from various countries rushed back like crazy to report this alarming news to their national authorities.The same is true for the port of Marseilles. The letter Jiang Xu rushed to report was the news brought back by a French sailor. At this time, Zheng He's fleet had just arrived at the Spanish port.

Twelve days later, Zheng He's huge fleet arrived in Marseilles as if they were on a tour along the Mediterranean Sea. The King of France had already sent a special envoy to Marseilles to welcome the mysterious envoy from a distant eastern country together with local officials in Marseilles.

All the dignitaries and civilians in Marseille flocked to the pier, because they all wanted to see with their own eyes the huge ship that was said to be like a floating city on the sea.

In order to make room for this Eastern Fleet, all the ships in the port were cleared, the sea was empty, and in the distance, the sail masts that covered the sky and the sun came into view.

The welcome team on the pier is full of people. On a high circular stone platform in the port, entertainers in various animal-shaped clothes are performing. Wild boars play trumpets, goats sing hymns, big bad wolves play flutes, and four donkeys hold He held his hooves in front of his chest, and was about to sing loudly.

On a piece of flat ground at the corner of the pier, there were some naked women with fluffy hair and streaks of oil paint writhing and dancing, their plump rufeitun completely exposed, so that many men's gazes from that magnificent fleet from time to time Take it back quickly, and goug out two eyes on their attractive parts.

Sailors with shaved heads or turbans hovered on the docks, waiting to catch the ropes thrown from the boats and tie them to the docks.There are also some strong men who only put on a veil on their shame, their bodies are painted with gold or silver powder, and they pose motionlessly in front of the welcoming team, like sculptures.

The Lord Mayor nervously asked his secretary if preparations had been made for the great banquet and ball in the town hall. ("") His Excellency the Bishop stood solemnly on his left in full attire, wearing a cross and holding a dagger, while the Judge was on his right tidying up his white belly that had been blown crooked by the sea breeze, and the ladies and gentlemen were growing up. The skirts were dragging to the floor, the hats with light veils were hanging on their heads, the veils at the front had been raised, and the small fans in their hands were shaking very fast, it seemed as if their waists and limbs were about to be strangled.

The guard of honor wearing cylindrical caps held various musical instruments such as drums and horns, and walked in formation in a space squeezed out by the citizens who were pushing and shoving and watching, playing musical instruments.

The clowns in the crowd were not willing to be lonely either. They wore tall hats and painted their faces with oil paint. They worked hard to get through the crowd, shouting loudly: "Keep an eye on your wallet, be careful of thieves..."

The crowd rushed back and forth like a tide, watching the huge fleet that was getting closer, and exclaimed. Xia Xun also stood in the welcoming crowd at the pier, seeing the respect and awe of the European countries for the Ming Fleet , a feeling of pride rose in my heart.

But seeing such a welcoming scene, he couldn't help but marvel: "Oh my god! Are these French people going to turn the welcoming ceremony into a carnival?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The arrival of Zheng He's fleet was like a meteorite falling from the sky, landing in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, causing a shock wave stronger than a tsunami in the surrounding countries.

During his stay in Marseilles, before he was invited by the King of France to visit their capital, other countries had sent special envoys to meet with the envoy from the eastern country and cordially invited him to visit their own country.

Even Hungary, Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire, which are not on the Mediterranean coast, have sent envoys, and Pope Martin V even sent a cardinal in person.

A series of visiting activities of the Ming Empire were launched in European countries. Zheng He talked about diplomacy and business with the caravan. After getting to know this mysterious country in the East, all countries agreed to send envoys to return with Zheng He's fleet to visit the Eastern country. the great emperor.

The visit lasted about six months, and it was not until the monsoon came that an unprecedentedly large fleet began to assemble, ready to go east along the new route.The number of ships exceeding a thousand has become a necessity.

At this time, Venice had already taken a step ahead and went to sea ahead of other countries, but they found that it was indeed very difficult to completely occupy a throat and block the throat of the whole of Europe.

They are in the Mediterranean Sea, and if they want to get stuck in the necks of European countries, Portugal, which has a geographical advantage, can get stuck in their necks in the Strait of Gibraltar.

On the outer seas, Portugal has the advantage, and on the Mediterranean Sea, the Venetians have the advantage. In order to decide the ownership of key points like the Cape of Good Hope, after the Ming Fleet left, big battles started between them. Europe fell into a greater hunluan.

Dake's family stood on the pier, watching Xia Xun's fleet sailing away from the pier, and their fleet was gradually drifting away.The small port of Marseille can't hold so many ships. The fleets of various countries gather in the Strait of Gibraltar, and then sail to the East Ocean with Zheng He's fleet, and Xia Xun's fleet also goes there to meet up.

The Dake family has all their belongings, they have already rented out the house here, and they will return to the countryside soon.Little Rangna looked at the distant fleet with tears in her eyes. She couldn't bear to part with that master who was like a big sister, and that Uncle Xia who brought her delicious food every time he came home.

The words Xia Xun left before leaving still lingered in her ears: "Don't worry! We will be back!"

"If Uncle Xia doesn't keep his promise to bring Master Sai'er to see me, when I grow up, I'll go find her myself!" Little Rangna swore secretly with her fists clenched.

The people seeing off at the beach dispersed one after another, and Dak's family also left in three steps, but there were still two people standing on the beach by the sea.The sea blows slowly, shaking their clothes, and their clothes tremble slightly in the wind.

"Sir, let's go back!"

The old man standing one step behind the man in front took half a step forward, habitually hunched over and said, this old man is exactly that Ke Zhou.

Zhu Yunwen in front shook his head lightly: "I want to be alone!"

"Yes!"

Ke Zhou took half a step back, bowed his hands, and stopped talking. ,

Zhu Yunwen was only in his 30s, but he looked like an old man in his [-]s, with faint wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his gray hair trembling in the wind.

He thought of that day again. On that day, he knelt down in front of Xia Xun and begged: "This time, I will not run or hide. You can cut off my head and tell my fourth uncle, I just beg you Spare them, they are innocent!"

"You can't kneel, Your Majesty! You are the Emperor!"

The loyal old Ke hugged him, crying heartbreakingly.

Although his sons and daughters still don't quite understand his conversation with Xia Xun, they know that this man is going to be bad for their father. They stared at Xia Xun hostilely, and the smaller boy with blue eyes ran to Xia Xun's side , clenched his small fists and beat his thigh, shouting in French: "Demons, robbers, get out of my house!"

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes, stretched his neck, and waited for the sharp steel knife to fall. He waited for a long, long time, but he only waited for Xia Xun's words: "The Taizu founded the country, with gold and jade as the pledge, made ten The Six Treasure Seals are used to conduct state affairs. In the third year of Jianwen, you, the Emperor, made another side of the "Seal of the God of Concentrating Life". So far, there are seventeen seals in my Ming Dynasty.

Later, when the current emperor entered the palace and checked the seals, there were three seals missing: "The Treasure of the Emperor Fengtian", "The Treasure of the Emperor's Kiss", and "The Treasure of the Emperor's Order". I would like to ask the emperor, where are these three seals? ? "

The box containing the three treasure seals was handed to Xia Xun by Ke Zhou, whose face was full of tears. After Xia Xun opened the box and checked the three treasure seals carefully, he fastened the box and said to Zhu Yunwen, "Soon, There is also a larger fleet of His Majesty coming here, I suggest you go to the countryside for a walk in the near future, I hope you have a happy life in France! Mr. Ribery!"

Zhu Yunwen slowly raised his head, staring at Xia Xun's leaving back in astonishment...

Zhu Yunwen let out a sigh of relief, and withdrew his thoughts. Looking around, the fleet was only a blurry black shadow on the sea level.Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh, and turned his back, leaving only a lonely figure behind Dahai...
