Chapter 2064 Ah! Frank!

"They call this place Tessie."

"They're confident, but also wary."

"The messenger's voice was sharp. He should be the legendary chamberlain, but it was very solemn..."

In the palace, the king looked at the prince who was still a little purple on his face, and said: "They are here to explore the road, but they have powerful force. Henry, you have been running a voyage. Tell me, how do we compare with the Ming Dynasty?" ?”

The prince said with some confusion: "It's not good, we can't match it. Those four ships are very powerful, and their weapons should be iron balls. We need to go and see what those weapons look like, otherwise we will Can't get past them."

The king changed the topic and said: "They want to move forward. There is Frank over there, and there is a war over there. Their arrival will stop the war. This is not good news for us."

"Frank..."

The prince said in a daze: "One of their ships has entered the strait, father, they will come into contact with more places."

The king was not worried at all. He said: "Sooner or later the route will be found, so don't worry about my children. More people will discover Ming Dynasty, and then there will be more eyes on them. Not friendly."

"I have warned you before that friendliness is the most precious quality in the world, but from my position, it seems that friendliness is a stupid quality and we should not have this quality."

The prince nodded and said: "Their ships are sturdier and more suitable for long voyages. Their weapons are so sharp that we fear them like gods. Father, we must get one of the two, otherwise we will always lag behind."

The king took a sip of tea and frowned: "It's too much. Those wise people said that it should be done in moderation and waste!"

He smelled the tea carefully and admired it.

"They won't let our people on board, which is difficult..."

The king stood up with the teacup in hand, making no secret of his love for tea.

"We are not strong yet."

The king said playfully: "It's a good thing that you like to explore. We need new land. The whole of Thailand needs new land to feed more and more people. That damn epidemic still hasn't made this difficulty less difficult. This is God's fault." Punish people, go ahead and do well, we will become stronger and stronger.”

…..

"We've been here too long,

There is still no news about the ship that entered the strait. "

The exotic scenery of sea and sky makes people feel novel. On the pier, the ships were far away from here, and some people were looking at these ships with greed or fear.

Of course, Akito is also the focus of their observation, and even Akito's movements are included.

"Father-in-law, we need to move forward, why don't we go find them?"

"It's time for them to come back!"

Hong Bao looked at those people who were peeping coldly and said: "It is military law to go to sea. They will not be late. Get ready. We will set off in a few days."

Lisbon was the first stop. During this time, they not only completed supplies and repairs, but also completed the exploration of the city.

"Their king is mediocre and not outstanding, but that prince has far-reaching vision. Our family..."

Hong Bao's eyes flashed with murderous intent and he said: "Bo Xinghe said, and our family agrees, whoever controls the sea in the future will be the master of this world."

"That prince has made great achievements in battle, but instead of fighting for the throne, he went to another place alone and worked hard to find new places and new routes to go to sea. What is this?"

Hong Bao said tentatively: "Can you do it?"

Zhang Wang said eagerly: "Father, how about you try to become an official?"

Hong Bao nodded and said, "Don't be afraid of anything. It doesn't matter if you are discovered. The worst we can do is order the city to be destroyed."

After finding out the strength of the troops in the city, Hong Bao was full of confidence. He felt that a thousand-household settlement with so many artillery would definitely be able to dominate foreign lands.

Zhang Wang whispered: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the people here... are far behind."

Hong Bao nodded and Zhang Wang went to make arrangements.

As a messenger, the king was very polite to Hong Bao. Every day, people came to ask him what ingredients he needed. Previously, the king would send Hong Bao the same meal as he wanted to eat.

It's just that Hong Bao couldn't stand the cooking methods here, so he declined.

The early summer sun made people feel lazy, and the people on the boat took turns to rest and enjoy the rare peace.

"Father-in-law, look over there."

Someone turned around and shouted from the bow.

Hong Bao looked sideways and saw three ships approaching slowly.

This is not surprising, but several ships immediately pounced on the dock like guard dogs.

"Call someone out."

Hong Bao watched this scene with great interest, looked at the flags hanging on the three ships, and said with a smile: "Is this the enemy coming? Ho ho! Let's get ready and watch the excitement."

The resting crew members and sergeants gathered together.

"Get off the dock!"

Someone untied the cables, and the three warships and two grain ships slowly raised their sails and began to leave the shore.

After discovering Akito leaving the dock, someone rushed over and kept shouting.

"Father-in-law, someone is calling us."

Hong Bao didn't even look at it. He stared at the three slowing ships and said, "They are not from the same country. Let people pay attention. We are full of supplies. If the momentum is not right, leave immediately, and then deal with them."

The officials on the dock shouted like they were mourning for their heirs, but the ships gradually left.

The three ships did not resist, but were negotiating with the ships that came for inspection.

The people on the ship were staring at the Ming ships with burning eyes.

"Franks, you should be fighting the Plantagenets now, not running to Lisbon to see women!"

An official saw the soldiers coming out of the cabin shaking their heads, and sneered: "Go back, this is Lisbon!"

A Frank official said seriously: "Franks and Ming have a traditional friendship. We are here to greet the Ming envoys on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"A group of wild dogs looking for food, their tails are wagging!"

This request is very legitimate and naturally cannot be intercepted.

So the Lisbon people were depressed and sarcastic, and some even compared the Franks to foxes flattering lions.

So the three ships approached the Ming ship.

"Let them go."

The Lisbon people did not remind anything, hoping that the Franks would not understand the Ming language and would be directly sunk by that kind of weapon.

"They are as shameless as fools. What traditional friendship? Frank almost destroyed the country. The Ming people are far away in the East. If there is any friendship, as long as ten ships of this kind come, the Plantagenets will be in trouble!"

"Look, look, they are... Hey! Where did they find the interpreter?"

You should know that Lisbon can find an interpreter because their prince is ambitious for overseas. He not only focuses on the research of shipbuilding and navigation equipment, but also finds a lot of interpreters in various languages.

But the Franks are too busy to take care of themselves under the attack of the Plantagenets. Where did they get the interpreter?

"They have a plan!"

Someone immediately reported this to the king.

The Franks definitely have a traitor here, and they also took the ship away to report the news.

"The Frankish envoy has already set off. If everything goes well, he should have arrived in the Ming Dynasty now. Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of goodwill towards the Ming Dynasty, so he sent us to greet the Ming envoy."

An official said this to Hong Bao respectfully, and then the interpreter translated it.

Hong Bao was delighted, but said calmly: "Frank...what kind of country is this?"
