Chapter 1906: An Awkward Contact with the Frankish Mission

The desert in Tianfang is the greatest camouflage, but it is also the greatest difficulty.

Fang Wu didn't go deep, Fang Xing explained that it's not appropriate to startle the enemy at the moment, so he just laid an ambush on the business road.

It is difficult to lurk in the desert. Fortunately, they brought enough water and food, so they dug a hole for shelter.

"Drink less water and moisturize your lips."

Fang Wu probed out and shouted, explaining to his subordinates.

He was in the sandpit right now, with a yellow cloth covering his head to block the scorching sun. He felt a little stuffy inside, but it was better than the pain of going out and being exposed to the sun.

Fang Wu took out the water bottle and took a sip of water, then let the water moisten his mouth slowly.

He didn't know how powerful Roumi Country and Taixi were. He only knew that these two big countries were far away from Ming Dynasty. If the two sides launched an expedition, it would be a big problem unless it was gradually advanced.

Fang Xing's meaning was somewhat obscure. As his guard, even Lao Qi Xin didn't know what Fang Xing thought about Meat Fan and Taixi.

And the DPRK and China are even more indifferent to these two countries. Only the Ministry of War has inquired about some meat fans because of Harley, that's all.

The court and the Central Committee are currently extremely optimistic about the internal and external situation of Ming Dynasty. According to those people, Ming Dynasty is now at its strongest in a thousand years.

There is no shortage of money and food, the foreign enemies have been defeated one by one, and there are very few internal conflicts...

This is a big era, and only a few people can feel it.

The students of the academy set off full of fighting spirit, and Fang Wu was extremely envious. He felt that these people would slowly rise up in the future, and then become the talents of Daming.

These students grew up watching them grow up, from ignorant teenagers to grown-ups with subtle smiles...

There was a bird song, and Fang Wu shouted in a low voice: "Idiot, where did the birds come from here!"

There were no birds outside, but a caravan of camels came.

The camels came with goods on their backs and walked steadily. Some of the covered men rode on camels, some on foot.

Fifteen people!

There are eleven people in Fang Wu's team!

It is best to talk less when walking in the desert. The more you talk, the more energy and water you will consume.

After half a day's travel, we will reach the seaside, so the atmosphere of the caravan looks good. Fang Wu even saw a person lift his veil with his binoculars, gulping water, and the water dripping from his chin didn't feel bad.

"Physics!"

Fang Wu shouted, and eleven people jumped out of the potholes on both sides of the business road.

The caravan is a little confused. Although there are sand robbers, but here is near the sea, who would have thought that there would be sand robbers?

Moreover, the faces of these Sand Pirates are dark, looking like those guys on the other side of the sea.

The Sand Bandits waved their long knives and shouted, their teeth were exceptionally white against the dark skin.

"It's poisonous!"

Fang Wu approached first, staring at the two leading businessmen.

""

The leading businessman said a bunch of things that Fang Wu didn't understand, but Fang Wu didn't say anything, and slapped him down with a slap.

Shouted: "Hulahuala!"

He pointed his long knife at the ground, and this silent language made everyone kneel down slowly.

""

A string of words rushed out from among these people, and then a man lifted off his veil, revealing a face that Fang Wu suddenly had some impression of.

Arutai?

High nose and deep eyes!

After the man stood up, he danced and danced emotionally, but Fang Wu couldn't understand a word.

He looked back at the team's interpreter, but the interpreter shook his head, indicating that this was not a local dialect.

Fang Wu was a little dizzy, what's wrong with the language barrier?

At this time, someone inside shouted: "We are the Daming caravan!"

Fang Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked in Ming dialect: "Which one? Where did you come from? Where are you going?"

But when the man stood up and took off his veil, Fang Wu saw that it was Tian Fang, and immediately became angry.

"Take him down!"

Dare to pretend to be from Daming, isn't that courting death?

The man panicked and said: "They are missions, missions to Daming, if you kill them, believe me, Daming will chase you to the end of the sky!"

Fang Wu looked at the guy with the high nose and deep eyes, frowned and asked, "Which country's mission?"

"Frank, from the great country of Taixi."

Most of the local people live in Frank on this day, and they are obviously reserved when talking about Frank.

Fang Wu was a little embarrassed, he couldn't understand what he said just now, but now this...

At this moment, the man with the high nose and deep eyes walked over, leaned slightly and said a lot.

The interpreter translated: "This is Bastian, the envoy of Frank. He came here on behalf of the prince of Frank. We have gone through hardships along the way. In the end, only these people are left in the envoy of more than one hundred people."

"Bastian?"

Fang Wu frowned and looked at the man.

The man happily said a lot, speaking very quickly, the interpreter thought for a while before translating: "The envoy said that he must go to Daming as soon as possible, and he wants to meet His Majesty the Emperor of Ming."

Fang Wu took a step back and said, "Is there anything to prove your identity?"

Bastian took out a piece of paper, which turned out to be parchment.

At this time, Tessie already had paper, but they still used parchment for important things.

On the parchment were written many curved characters that Fang Wu could not understand, he read the last

Then he nodded and said: "You are very lucky, then... I hope you are telling the truth, otherwise Da Ming will let you know what the Kingdom of Heaven is!"

...

Shi Jinqing was a little nervous, so he ran to the pier early in the morning to urge people to clean it.

"Father, uncle is very kind."

Second Sister Shi came over to support him, watched Zhong Pin ordering people to clean up, and said: "Uncle doesn't like such ostentation, he probably wants to see our neighbors on this trip."

Shi Jinqing glanced at the left side, and said worriedly: "If Sumatra belongs to Ming Dynasty, who will manage it? If the court sends people, what should we do? My father is getting older and his body is getting heavier. From now on, you will be the one to decide .Second sister, have you thought about it?"

Second Sister Shi helped him to the pier, and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry about this matter, no matter how the government changes, we are most familiar with this side."

Shi Jinqing patted her hand in relief, with a kind expression on his face, and said: "Your brother is worthless, and it will be up to you here in the future. Do it well, and our family will become a famous family here too." .”

"Boat! The boat is coming!"

Shi Jinqing hurriedly looked sideways, and saw sails appearing on the sea in the distance, and then, ships slowly appeared in sight.

"Stand up! Line up!"

Shi Jinqing happily turned around and ordered, so the people on the pier lined up in two rows according to their status, and then looked at the approaching fleet.

The fleet slowed down slowly, and when Fang Xing appeared on the bow, Shi Jinqing's father and daughter rushed to meet him.

Mooring, shelf board.

Fang Xing walked onto the pier, cupped his hands and said, "Master Shi seems to be in good spirits, thank you for your hard work."

The three exchanged pleasantries, Fang Xing slowly looked at the brand new pier, then at the small castle ahead, and praised: "Yes, there will be a fleet of ships stationed here in the future, and it will bring a lot to the old port. For business, Mr. Shi can make preparations early."

Shi Jinqing laughed and said, "Uncle, is Daming trying to control the strait?"

"certainly!"

Fang Xing said: "Seal this strait, the sea area from here to Daming is the inner sea, when the time comes to cooperate with the outside, the sea area of ​​Daming will be as solid as gold."

Shi Jinqing said cautiously: "Uncle, when the time comes... the next official wants to resign from this official position earlier, so that he can go home and recuperate..."

"You think too much."

Fang Xing comforted him: "Da Ming won't cross rivers and demolish bridges, so you can do it with confidence. As for the future, isn't Second Sister Shi doing it now? You have high morals and prestige, and you have to watch over the Old Port."
