What did Pedru hear?
He kept asking himself repeatedly whether he had learned Greek too poorly, or whether the people of the Ming Dynasty had different understandings of Greek than that of himself. There was no way, and he asked questions again in all the languages ​​he knew. Pedru suspected that he had heard it wrong or understood it wrongly.
"You heard it right, someone attacked my ship!" Bai Minghe repeated again, this time in English.
"Your Highness, your noble prince, you didn't drink a drink!" The prince in Pedru's words generally refer to the royal family, not just the prince, but in his eyes, Bai Minghe was the prince of the Ming Empire.
The clerk here criticized Pedru very seriously: "Please pay attention to your words. My Lord is the Prince of Byzantine. Please use the word Your Majesty, not Your Highness."
Prince of Byzantine!
Pedru understood most of it, of course most of it was his understanding. In his opinion, the prince of this powerful empire led the army back in the name of a Byzantine princess. As for whose territory he captured, there are too many stories to find in European history. In short, the return on investment for the support of a country is too high.
Bai Minghe whispered to the clerk: "Is it appropriate to call Your Majesty? This is a great crime of disrespect!"
"Long live the decree, we cannot use it indiscriminately in the Ming Dynasty. You are your Majesty and the Prince of Byzantine when you leave the sea." The clerk explained in a low voice.
Bai Minghe didn't ask much. Although this was a clerk, he was a fourth-rank civil servant in the Honglu Temple. He was one level older than the prefect in the Ming Dynasty, and he was also a Beijing official. He was a clerk in his fleet. This was not a grievance, but the name of this fleet was brought out by Bai Minghe and restored the country to his women.
"His Majesty, is anyone dared to attack your fleet?" Pedru repeated the question just now.
"That's right, it's your Portuguese warship, there's..." Bai Minghe pulled a long tone: "Eight ships, and the gun doors are all open, so I ask my ship to lower the sails!"
Pedru drew a cross on his chest and said silently: "Lord! Let this nightmare wake up quickly."
"Follow me to see." The white-named crane just asked Pedru to keep up.
The soldiers who had just arrived on the shore were asked to set sail again, because someone attacked the Ming Navy. Then the order above was that there was a large port where there was enough food, no need to eat fish, meat, and enough fresh water to take a bath. As for this, Lei Jingtian and other guys did not ask for instructions on the white-name crane at all, and directly issued an order to carve hundreds of stone tablets.
The stone tablet represents power and the boundary monument of the Ming Dynasty.
Take the territory first, and when you come back, no matter who dares to come here, it will be considered an invasion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The fleet began to act again, and Lei Jingtian bit the cigar and said to his subordinates: "You bastards, you must learn to understand Xiaobai's painstaking efforts. If Xiaobai lets you bastards leave you, you will all become bandits. So when Xiaobai says you need to consider it, you must have a wink and take over the territory first."
The deputy general quickly came over to light the fire and asked in a low voice: "So, what about when Lord Bai said he would have a friendly conversation?"
"That's stupid. Think about the island last time, and asked the merchants to exchange their treasures. Then what kind of friendship we call them? By the way, kill all the unfriendly things!"
Lei Jingtian's theory was supported by most of the generals.
"So, what about this time? The telegram said that there is a port that needs a lesson."
"This is art. You haven't listened to it. There is meat to eat, wine to drink, and fresh water to take a bath. Why do they give us meat to us? Why do they give us wine? Of course, they are tidy up. Anyone who dresses like a person will be locked up in a small dark room if they are not killed. Those who wear worse clothes than our Ming slaves are. Be more friendly."
Lei Jingtian continued to talk about his theory, but this time even the generals who supported him did not understand.
Lei Jingtian was proud of his feelings: "You don't know how to be a human being. Think about the blond and green-eyed monkey. There weren't some slaves on his boat. Those people were kind-hearted at that time, saying that they were all pitiful people, and they wanted to liberate slaves and attack those evil people who were always bullying."
The generals understood, and thought that the slaves rescued from Pedru's ship at that time were very grateful.
Just giving full food, I will work hard.
"Abide by our rules, give money, food, meat and women, work hard, and do everything else..." Lei Jingtian made a beheading move.
Lei Jingtian's theory spread quickly in the fleet, and most of the entire fleet knew it in just two days.
The white-famous crane naturally knew it.
However, Bai Minghe did not express any opinions. The people he brought out were all poor garrison sailors. Although they were not considered evil people, what kind of principle did the Ming Dynasty soldiers know when they were in the army? It was finally changed after all.
Whoever robs the enemy from between them now becomes divided by camp, and what is robbed is from the public, and then it is distributed according to merit.
In the battle against Washuhetao, the three ancient surrender cities were handled according to this rule.
The soldiers of the Navy also knew this rule, so although they had no chance to do such a thing, the rules were determined.
The land soldiers sent out this time were truly elite soldiers. The soldiers sent out from Baiming He Shanglinyuan were brought out with 70,000 of them. The greatest ability of these people was to kill people.
Bai Minghe did not comment on the strange theory of Thunder in the fleet.
This made Lan Hai a little unbearable. He sent power to Bai Minghe: Lord Bai, don’t let soldiers kill more in the fleet, as it hurts the heavens. I will conquer the world with virtue.
The telegram was handed to Bai Minghe's hand, and Bai Minghe thought about it and wrote a telegram.
"The Ming Dynasty conquered the world with virtue and prohibited killing without reason. The Portuguese fleet attacked our Ming navy. According to the method of first ritual and then military force, when it arrived at the Kingdom of Portugal, it could ask it to make necessary compensation. The ports along the way would crack down on robbers, bandits, slave traders and other actions that would violate the harmony of heaven, and return a Qingming world in the world!"
When it comes to the telegram from Baiminghe, Blue Ocean still agrees, and all the civil servants who go out to sea with the boat also agree.
But the telegram reached Lei Jingtian's hands, and a new theory appeared from his mouth.
"See, what did I say? You guys who have no vision are just thinking about the small amount of gold coins. If you want compensation, you also need the King of Grape to come out to compensate. The Japanese attacked Xiaobai, and Xiaobai went to talk politely. It was still the Japanese who knew the general, and the compensation was pretty good."
Japan..., Four Ports!
That's right, Portugal occupies a port and collects taxes. If it's not enough, you can choose some treasures from their palace and then add them in. Anyway, the generals from Japan will give out treasures.
Some general even said to Lei Jingtian: "General Lei, do you think the Portuguese king has a daughter or a sister?"
"This is very interesting. Xiaobai said that there are already three princess wives and one princess concubine. The Goryeo princess looks so bad. Siam and Nanzhang are still waiting for Xiaobai to accept their princesses. If there are princesses in Portugal, we should have two more. Long live our lives, we need to have two."
Lei Jingtian was very satisfied with his suggestion and actually sent a telegram to the four squadrons in front, back, right and middle.
Lan Hai smiled helplessly and said that it was definitely a mistake to bring Lei Jingtian out. This guy is too restless. However, it is not his turn to talk nonsense like robbing the princess.
On the morning of the third day, Baiminghe's ship had not yet caught up with the forward fleet.
The forward was not slow at full speed. When Bai Minghe was still wasting time on the shore, the distance was already hundreds of miles here, and the distance was not long. When Bai Minghe went south to chase, the twenty-four ships of Liu Mingxuan's main fleet were already firing.
The sea surface of Durban Port in the natural bay of southern Africa was filled with wood pieces.
Immediately afterwards, twenty more boats landed, and three thousand soldiers from Shanglinyuan rushed to the shore with small cannons. After several rounds of artillery fired, muskets fired, turning the port into a hell.
"Incendiary Bomb..." Qianhu, who led the team, shouted, and the soldiers beside him immediately responded, waiting for their hands to wave.
"Sir, I can't burn it. What I do is burn our brothers' money. Look at the house, the best mahogany, the best ebony. There are also people. There are tea gardens in Ceylon, where people will buy slaves to grow tea." A hundred households with brothers working in the merchant gang in the family interrupted the orders of their superiors.
The Qianhu was not angry at all, but instead praised: "Good boy, you have done a big deal. Come on, pass on the order of this general, put on armor, take a cannon, and grab the living."
What happened in Xishoujiang City? It is still happening here.
The difference is that the people here are divided into three batches, one is Portuguese, all about the cage. The group is not known to be there, but they are dressed very well and are working for the grape people. These people are surrounded and let people guard them.
The last batch, without even clothes, did coolies. Apart from a mouthful of white teeth, the complexion of skin that could not be seen at night.
The Ming people gave these people food, clothes, and then copper coins. These people were still working, helping the vanguard troops repair the docks, moving out all the Portuguese property, and then building a house for the Ming Navy. It doesn't matter if the language is not clear, the fabric is draped on their bodies and the cloth is stuffed into their arms.
Rice, noodles and food are given to them, and the rest is not a problem.
They must follow the example when working, from starting to moving things, becoming the main force in repairing docks.
The people on the eight boats were also pulled back to the port of Durban, and the scene of their eyes made them desperate. But then, a familiar person was wearing clothes similar to those of these terrible people, but the people they knew appeared on the dock.
The white-known crane has not yet been able to care about what the soldiers on the dock have done, but is just thinking about the Portuguese port. (To be continued...)
ps: Today, I'm two.
I can't access the Internet, I've found a lot of problems, resetting my router, etc...
As a result..., I suddenly found that there was a small button on the light cat, and the sign was...
Power switch.
God, the cats in the past seem to have no switch.
Anyway, I don’t know when I touched it, the switch is so soft that it turns off with a light touch and turns on with another touch.
Chapter completed!
