Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 629 Fourth brother, go home
In the eyes of Tang people, Europe in the seventh century was no different from the natives of Southeast Asia.It is really hard to imagine that the great domestic scholars Leimen and Eugene came out of this land. It is hard to believe that there is still a high degree of civilization here.

After Tang Jun took root in South America, he fought a battle with the local people, occupied a small base, and did not expand any more.Those people who were suspected to be Mayans found out that there was actually a more powerful civilization than them in this world, and they didn't come to seek bad luck. Instead, after fighting a few times, they sent envoys to start negotiations.

After a period of communication, everyone temporarily drew up boundaries and started trading.

Ever since, a group of Tang soldiers went down the river to touch shells, because they found that people here were not interested in gold, but liked this kind of shells. (This is compiled with reference to the experience of Europeans who set foot on America in later generations) My mouth is crooked from laughing. How can there be such a good thing in this world?
So the state-of-the-art shell-touching activity was launched at the Tang Army Base.And the Mayans watched them build a city-state from nothing, and they were scared to pee at the astonishing speed of construction.I didn't dare to have any more thoughts, but became friendly instead.

Everyone's business dealings were ordinary, and they found that the Tang Dynasty needed people, so they sent a group of old, weak, sick and disabled together in some young people, and then took the glassware sent by the Tang people as big treasures and gave them back.

Although there are only a few thousand people in Tang Dynasty, the changes brought about by advanced civilization to this land are enormous.Many tribes came to trade, and the Tang people got the long-awaited gold and various minerals, population and plants that the queen named.

After repairing for half a year, the fleet went north to find North America. After repairing again for two months, it crossed the Atlantic Ocean again. On the way, it found several islands. After construction, some people were left to guard here. It is a little different from when they came here, because they are going to visit Europa again, and then go south along the coastline to return to the Central Plains through the Cape of Good Hope.

With accurate nautical charts, I believe that the next time I come back, I don't have to work so hard. With Datang's current navigation capabilities, if nothing happens, I can reach America in a year. If I'm lucky, I don't need it.

Baozhu already has an idea in her heart, and she is going to cross the Pacific Ocean next time. She has a lot of experience in crossing the Atlantic Ocean this time, and she is no longer a rookie.She wants to complete the circumnavigation of the world with her husband's last wish.

There are more than 30 returning ships left, and the others are left in various bases for construction. They will continue to wait here, waiting for the next voyage of the imperial court, and then come to rotate them.I believe that day will not be too far away, because they have figured out this road.

Now there is only one last target left: Europa!
With the construction of the Midway Islands, it was much easier to cross the Atlantic Ocean again, and they arrived at the location of the later Spain in less than two months after the fleet set off.It's just that the backwardness here makes them collapse, and when they go up to France, they feel a little popular.

But still lagging behind, in their view, this is almost the same as the aborigines.

It's just that the group of red-haired ghosts were astonished, even the Queen Mother was alarmed.

A ship with a displacement of thousands of tons is undoubtedly a giant in these days.France in this matter is not called France, but the Frankish Empire. In [-], after the death of Dagbel I of the Merovingian dynasty, his unified dynasty was split again. In the long-term chaos, the royal power gradually weakened, and the real power fell to the palace minister who controlled court affairs and royal estates, and the king became powerless. the lazy king.

Therefore, for this group of powerful people, the people of the Frankish Empire have their own ghosts, and they all want to use this external force to help them gain momentum.

Originally, they wanted to plunder according to their pissing nature, but after careful testing, they found that others didn't take themselves seriously at all. Although they only had a thousand people, the fighting power was estimated by a group of people. They could sweep across Europe if they wanted to.

That horrible trebuchet always throws explosives, it's like a miracle, it's terrifying.

How else can we say that Westerners are pragmatic?
Back then, the Huns were like that, and their equipment was still backward. Just like that, they beat up a group of Europeans crying for their fathers and mothers. Now the Tang people are even more terrifying than that group of people. Just looking at those big ships makes them feel terrified.

Although there was a language barrier, Tang Ren, who was good at calculating, quickly discovered the clue.In particular, Li You and Li Yin, who were born in the royal family, quickly discovered the truth of the royal power struggle from waves of people who came to show their favor.

Even if the understanding is not thorough, what does it matter?They are here for business, and when they are going home, they have to bring some good things back.They don't refuse any kind of antique gold, if you want something good, just exchange it for something.As for your bird business, we're not interested.

The more messy you are, the better, because after you go back and rest for a while, we will come again!

You won't be polite if you come again!Directly go north along the coast to Europa to make a fortune first.And they need bases, and whoever can provide them with bases and raw materials will give them weapons.Of course, it is impossible to get it for nothing, and it can be sold at a cheaper price.

As for the things they sell, they are naturally the equipment eliminated by Datang, and they have to keep the good ones for their own use.It is true that Datang will soon enter the age of firearms, but they will not sell things like manganese steel knives.

So the more chaotic you are, the better, and the more chaotic you are, the better. Our ancestors played this trick well in the Spring and Autumn Period. Isn’t it a piece of cake to deal with you?
But we can’t stay here for too long, we have to go home first, and after leaving some people here for diplomacy, the people of Tang pretended to be bribes from all walks of life, and then returned to Datang with the king’s handwriting and envoys.

In the ninth year of Chengyuan, just after the beginning of summer, the Datang Yuanhang Fleet arrived in Hainan Island, and arrived in Guangzhou a few days later. The whole Datang was boiling!
Starting in the second year of Chengyuan, it has been seven years, how many seven years are there in life?
Changing horses without changing people, he ran all the way back to Beijing to report the good news.

On the day when the good news arrived in the capital, it was raining heavily, and the people who were vomiting blood couldn't even take a rest. They ran all the way into the capital and shouted on Zhuque Street, "Hurry up for [-] miles! Hurry up for [-] miles! Come back, Returning! The American fleet has returned! Congratulations, congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

The people at home were alarmed by the good news, and they went to the streets one after another, listening with their ears open.

"Found America, found America!"

"Boom!"

A thunderous thunder sounded, but it did not frighten the ecstatic people.

It is several times larger than the Central Plains. The land there is so fertile that you only need to sprinkle a few seeds to germinate. There are descendants of Yin and Shang. There is gold everywhere. It can become another breeding ground for Chinese descendants.

The longing for the land, how many times of difficulties have been deeply imprinted in our genes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, this is the instruction left by our ancestors.The discovery of America was very important to the Tang people.Although they already have Australia, compared with America, Australia is more suitable for grazing.

There is no better news than this!

The heavy rain was pouring down, but a group of Chang'an people were rejoicing on the street, and the heavy rain did not stop their happy pace at all.

When the news spread to Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian, who was approving the memorial, was immediately excited.

There are not many things that can excite him in these years, but this day is destined to make him ecstatic.

Immediately summoned the ministers to discuss the welcome ceremony.He once said back then that he would go out of the city ten miles to meet the warriors returning from the sea.

In autumn, people on the fleet dragged tens of thousands of carts over a dozen roads to bring things brought from overseas back to the capital.

Li Chengqian and a group of officials went out of the city ten li to meet him, and even the concubines from the palace came together.

Yang Xiaoran and Li Chengqian fought side by side, whispering to each other from time to time, their faces full of joy.

Gradually, the team could be seen, and a black figure appeared in front of them, and everyone became excited.

But gradually, the smile on the emperor's face disappeared, and the queen's complexion became serious.

Li You and Li Yin appeared in front of them, but they were carrying a coffin covered with a flag with golden dragon and Tang characters on it.Li Chengqian trembled slightly, asking Li You and Li Yin to carry the coffin, who else could it be except his fourth brother? !
His body shook slightly, and he couldn't believe it.

"Fourth brother, I'm home..."

Li You murmured in a low voice, the moment he saw Li Chengqian, tears burst out of his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "Fourth brother!!!! Go home!!!!"

Li Chengqian's body swayed suddenly, his feet were weak, and the little yellow door beside him immediately supported him.

Li Chengqian felt dizzy for a while, then tremblingly pushed open the small yellow door, no longer disregarding everyone's dissuasion, and ran towards Li You and the others regardless.Yang Xiaoran also followed behind, his face pale.

Li Tai, Li Tai is dead? !

What, how come?How did you die? !
He is the younger brother of the son of heaven, born of the same mother, Li You and Li Yin who are both on the flagship are fine, how could he die?Is it that damn inertia again? ! !

Suddenly there was a cramping pain in her abdomen, she involuntarily slowed down, covered her stomach, cold sweat broke out on her head, damn it, what's going on? !
Not caring much, after a slight pause, the pain eased, and he immediately caught up.

Li Chengqian had already run to the front, touched the coffin with trembling hands, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"Brother!"

Li Yin burst into tears, "We're sorry for you! My fourth brother was injured when we crossed the Cape of Good Hope and couldn't be rescued..."

Baozhu burst into tears, and murmured: "In order to boost morale, Shiro climbed up the mast himself and was smashed by the waves, and the wooden boards splashed and smashed straight into his chest..."

After a pause, he continued: "The concubine is guilty, please be punished by Your Majesty! I failed to bring my husband back, only this lock of hair..."

"What did you say?"

Li Chengqian's feet swayed, "You, you mean that the fourth brother has no bones left?"

Suddenly a burst of darkness struck before Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian fell backwards slowly.Yang Xiaoran, who was chasing up, saw it, and immediately exclaimed, "Chengqian!"

Immediately ran up, ignoring the pain, grabbed Li Chengqian, and shouted: "Quick, Xuan Fengyu!"
