Chapter 2144: Jungle World

"Grain ship?"

Abel still couldn't believe it, so he asked, "Is that all?"

The Ming army sergeant who came to inform nodded, and then said, "The fleet will set off immediately. The father-in-law has instructed that within a quarter of an hour, no matter who is left behind, we will not wait any longer."

The sergeant turned back, and after the interpreter finished translating, he waited for the decision of these people.

For him, it didn't matter whether he went or not. If he didn't go, at least he wouldn't have to take risks.

That route was very difficult. Someone had gone there before, but no one had come back yet.

But the barren Taixi needed a way out. If he wanted to be strong, he had to find a new world!

This was the route Henry wanted to find the most. He was an envoy as a prince, and the taste of it was worth savoring.

So he was the first to go to the grain ship.

Abel said to Doc: "This is your plan, this is your cold shoulder, and you used cavalry to test the courage of the Ming people. Now that their revenge has come, how do you feel?"

Doc nodded and smiled: "Do you think we can go to the warship to take a closer look? Then you really think too much, Abel. Okay, I'm going to get on the ship, and you, make your own decision."

"They are all on the ship."

Hong Bao couldn't help shaking his head and said: "They all want benefits. Without benefits, let alone grain ships, they won't get on even ships like palaces. So knowing this, you can manipulate them at will."

Zhang Wang looked at Hong Bao with admiration and said: "Eunuch, you are no worse than the important officials in the court!"

Hong Bao shook his head, fatigue flashed in his eyes, and said: "Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao. Emperor Wen appointed Eunuch Zheng and our family. At least we can't ruin our reputation and reputation... Emperor Wen..."

Perhaps because he had been away from the Ming Dynasty for a long time, Zhang Wang saw tears flashing in Hong Bao's eyes. But he was more willing to believe that this was Hong Bao's emotional expression of missing Emperor Wen.

"Raise the sail!"

The sails gradually rose and caught the wind.

The fleet slowly left the dock, and a group of people on the dock forced a smile and waved.

These were all redundant people.

The envoys of the three countries were all over the limit, at least according to Hong Bao, so each envoy had a maximum of more than ten people, and the others were left where they were.

This was an envoy who refused to compromise.

With this impression, they watched the fleet gradually go away.

Not long after, a team of cavalry rushed to the dock.

The leading officer looked at the empty dock and asked, "Where is the Ming fleet?"

The people who had not left said lazily, "They went far away."

Someone laughed and said, "Did you change your mind and want to kill them all? Then you can send the fleet now!"

The officer glanced at the Frank coldly and said, "Go back to your side!"

He rode his horse back with his subordinates, his face angry.

The scouts of the Ming Dynasty sneaked into the inland to find out the news, and then they realized it too late. When they caught the tail of the Ming scouts and wanted to chase them, it was too late.

This matter has reached the ears of those officers, causing a wave of anxiety and quarrels.

Some people said that since the Ming Dynasty was hostile to the Plantagenet, they might as well just leave the fleet behind and learn the shipbuilding technology of the Ming people.

Of course, firearms technology was what they wanted most, and they were willing to pay a price for it.

But the Ming people's fleet was too vigilant, and with Frank and Lisbon there, it was difficult to take action with three parties. Otherwise, if one party leaked the news, the consequences would be terrible.

...

"How?"

In the cabin, Hong Bao closed his eyes to rest, and two clerks on the ship were bent over their desks, preparing to record.

A plainclothes man said: "Eunuch, the Plantagenets have occupied a lot of places, levied heavy taxes, and the Franks are miserable... We saw them robbing things..."

".... After the truce between the two countries, the Frankish nobles began to enjoy themselves again. They were talking and drinking..."

".... They have many craftsmen..."

"Wait!"

Hong Bao suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "How are their craftsmen doing?"

"Not bad,

There are a lot of food and clothes are okay."

Hong Bao nodded and said with some emotion: "Xinghe Bo has been thinking about improving the status of craftsmen, but I didn't expect that Taixi would get started first."

He didn't know that this was the credit of the great epidemic: after the epidemic, the fields were withered and the population was so small that it was frightening. As a result, labor, especially skilled craftsmen, became scarce resources, and their treatment naturally improved a lot.

"The Plantagenets are aggressive, they are like wild dogs, looking for new prey, this place should be taken seriously."

Hong Bao began to dictate his views. If he died on the road, these views would provide great help to the court.

So he tried not to add his own feelings, and just described his views on Tessi in a plain way.

"Some Franks like to dream, they think a lot, but they are willing to deal with things only when the time comes... But who knows, they may become more powerful in the future."

"Lisbon is a small place, a small place that does not seem to match their huge ambitions..."

Hong Bao was a little confused. If it were in the East, a small place like Lisbon would be taught a lesson by the surrounding big countries as long as it dared to show its ambitions.

"Their ambitions are more ardent than those of the Plantagenet and the Franks. They only want to find places to expand. Their prince... Henry is a key figure. We must keep an eye on him. With his help, we can know what the future of Lisbon will be like..."

"There are several countries in the strait near Lisbon, including the Roumi. The Roumi and the Western countries are constantly at war, so this is the reason why they have not looked east for a long time, not because they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty."

"Roumi..."

Hong Bao thought cautiously for a long time, and finally said: "It's very far away. If the Roumi have ambitions for the Ming Dynasty, they must conquer all the way and annex Hari, otherwise they will not reach the Ming Dynasty and will starve to death on the way..."

"So Hari will be the key. If the Ming Dynasty can take Hari, no, then we will directly confront the Roumi, and the ill-intentioned Western people are likely to become their allies. The Ming Dynasty will face unprecedented powerful enemies..."

Hong Bao was a little confused. He felt that it might not be a good thing that he found this route.

This was his third day in the cabin. He almost never went out and kept summarizing.

"Open the door."

He felt a little dry in his eyes.

The cabin door opened, and the almost white sunlight poured in.

Hong Bao covered his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and murmured: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

The two clerks were not very tired, and they were startled when they heard this, not knowing whether to record it.

Hong Bao slowly adapted to the sunlight, blinked his eyes and said: "Be careful of the Taixi people, they are direct and never subtle, so they seem wild. This is a group of hungry guys, they are looking for prey, Ming..."

He stood up and walked out the door, blocking most of the sunlight. Most of the cabin was dark, and a small part was bright...

"Ming should be wary of them, and...be careful. If you don't take action, you must eliminate their ambitions to go out, otherwise it will be a big trouble for us sooner or later..."

On the grain ship, three envoys moved freely on the deck.

This is a special permission from Ming, and the three envoys can do it, but others can't.

"Very confident Ming."

Doc's eyes were a little solemn.

But Abel felt very relaxed. He felt that Frank had found an ally who could effectively contain Plantagenet.

Henry was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Meat fan..."

Doc and Abel smiled at the same time.

"Meat fan..." Abel smiled and said: "This world is crazy, otherwise how could the Ming people find us? So go a little crazier... What do you think?"

Doc looked at the track left by the warship in front and nodded: "Yes, then go a little crazier, I think this is a good idea."

Henry felt that his vision was ten streets ahead of these two people, so he was not willing to communicate with them in depth.

Abel was interested. He looked around and whispered: "The first thing is the route. If we can't find the route, then we are blind. They come and go as they please, which makes people uncomfortable."

Doc said coldly: "I bet that after Lisbon, we will never have a chance to come out again, and this will continue until we reach the Ming Dynasty."
