Hader couldn't understand the idea of the coming of all nations, because such an exaggerated kingdom had never appeared in his knowledge. In the memories of his ancestors, the Whip of God was a legendary myth.
Han Du saw that he didn't understand, so he explained: "During the Tang Dynasty, countless countries would go to Chang'an, the capital, to worship every year. Even Persia and Dashi sent envoys, merchants, etc. to the Tang Dynasty to worship.
.There are hundreds of pilgrims going to countries like Persia and Dashi every year.”
Hader understood what Han Du said now. When he thought that the powerful Persia was just one of hundreds of countries, he was deeply touched by the power of the Tang Dynasty.
"Child Harold has always known that the Ming Dynasty was a powerful empire, but he did not know that the Ming Empire was so powerful. Child Harold is deeply sorry for his rudeness to His Royal Highness." Ha.
As De said, he knelt down towards Zhu Biao's legs and bowed respectfully, "Child Harrold pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only heir to the Kingdom of Heaven and the future ruler of the Empire."
Zhu Benben wanted to say a few words, but after Han Du's suggestion, he just waved his hand and asked Hader to step back.
After Harder went below the deck, Zhu Biao asked in confusion: "This Harder has a good sense of advance and retreat. Why do you have to say these things to scare him?"
Han Du's series of actions could not be hidden from others, but they could not be hidden from Zhu Biao's eyes. He knew very clearly that Han Du was guiding Hader and telling him step by step how powerful the Ming Dynasty was.
Han Du smiled slightly and looked at Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, not everyone in the world is a humble gentleman who understands etiquette and numbers. These Westerners are just evil wolves who try their best to climb up when they see carrion. They only value strength and no ethics.
All knowledge and knowledge are worthless in their eyes. They only believe in the scimitar in their hands."
"Therefore, when dealing with such people, no courtesy or courtesy is of any use. The only words they can understand are the sounds of swords clashing."
"This time we are going to Khurumos. Although we also brought people from the Shi family with us, the Shi family is not proficient in Persian at all, and can barely even understand it. And Hader is Khurumos after all.
If you are a local snake, it is inevitable that he will have other thoughts. Tell him how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, so that he can think carefully about whether he has the right to offend us when he has ulterior motives."
Tang Ding nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After Han Du finished speaking, he added: "In my opinion, just threatening him is not enough. This guy is a person who has no profit and is blind to money. If he could
If we grant him some benefits, I'm afraid he will work harder for us."
"This is simple."
Han Du smiled and clapped his hands, "Didn't he owe a lot of debt and wait for repayment? I will tell him in a while that as long as he is obedient and leads us to find the pirates' treasures, we will return his goods.
Let him take it and pay off the debt."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly. Although he did not say it clearly, it undoubtedly showed that he also agreed with Han Du and Tang Ding's statement.
Han Du picked up the wine glass with a smile and was about to salute Zhu Biao when he suddenly saw a black cloud curtain appearing on the sea in the distance. The smile on Han Du's face disappeared in an instant and became extremely solemn.
What's the shady story here? This is simply a sign of the coming big storm!
"What's wrong?" He paused when he saw Han Du picking up the wine glass.
Zhu Biao and Tang Ding both looked at Han Du strangely.
Han Du raised his hand and pointed towards the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance, "The storm is coming, and I'm afraid it will be a big storm."
While Han Du was talking, Zhu Biao and Tang Ding also saw the pitch-black scene in the distance. The wine glass Tang Ding held in his hand unexpectedly slipped to the deck unconsciously, and not a drop of the wine inside was spilled.
Han Du immediately turned around and ordered to Tang Ding: "Quickly go and send a message to all ships to prepare, and all ships to lower their sails and slow down."
After Tang Ding heard this, he didn't even have time to talk to Han Du, so he immediately got up and went to make arrangements.
After ordering the soup cauldron, Han Du turned to look at Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness, please go to the cabin immediately to stay. Don't come out until the storm has passed."
Looking at the storm rushing directly towards the fleet, Han Du knew that it was completely impossible to escape, so he had no choice but to bravely fight it.
Han Du looked at the dark clouds that were as thick as an abyss in the distance, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "I have been out to sea so many times, and it's not like I haven't encountered storms. Even when I chased the six families to America, I encountered many storms.
It's not too small. But we have never encountered such a violent storm."
This storm has not even approached yet, but it has given Han Du an extremely heavy pressure. If you don't encounter it sooner, you won't encounter it later. But it happened when you took Zhu Biao out to sea. Han Du even had some doubts about Zhu Biao's luck.
Isn't it not that good? It is not unreasonable to say that it is because of Zhu Biao's bad luck. According to the history that Han Du once knew, Zhu Biao fell into the water after returning to Beijing from an inspection in Xi'an and died.
.The reason why Zhu Biao is still alive now is entirely because Han Du saw through the imperial doctor's treacherous plan.
"What about you? What are you going to do?" Zhu Biao asked subconsciously, looking at Han Du worriedly.
Seeing that Zhu Biao was so concerned about him, Han Du immediately threw away all the random thoughts in his heart. Regardless of whether Zhu Biao was unlucky or not, he had to take him back with all his beard and tail intact.
Han Du turned around and forced a smile towards Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, don't worry, I haven't seen anything when I go to sea? I have experienced a storm like this more than once. It's just that I stand outside to better command the ships, so,
Your Highness, please go back to the cabin and rest first."
Zhu Biao also looked up at the black clouds in the distance, turned back to Han Du and said: "This storm looks big, and you are in danger outside. Why don't you go to the cabin with Sui Gu? I'll leave this place to you.
Lieutenants, they will take care of it."
If the deputy general can handle it well, why should Han Du take the risk? Zhu Biao is right. It is indeed very dangerous to bring such a big storm outside. But Han Du has to do it. Although Han Du has always taken the opportunity to stand out
He left it to the rest of the navy, and often said that professional matters should be left to professional people. But that was because Han Du was lazy, and it did not mean that Han Du was not capable of commanding the navy fleet.
Even now, Han Du's naval command ability is still admired by all naval officers.
Han Du looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, continued to count for a while, and suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness, go to the cabin and have a rest. I will definitely send His Highness to a safe place."
Seeing that Han Du could not be persuaded, Zhu Biao had no choice but to sigh: "Then please pay attention to your own safety. If the wind and waves are strong, be careful not to fall off the boat."
Han Du stretched out his hand and pulled a rope over. One end of the rope was tied to the boat net, and the other end was a braided buckle. As long as someone put it on, it could become a dead buckle, making it impossible to untie it easily.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, if the wind and waves are too strong, I will tie myself to the rope and there is no chance of falling."
Seeing that Han Du had already mentioned this, Zhu Biao said nothing more and walked down the deck under the escort of four pro-troopers.
After Tang Ding finished his instructions, he also walked to Han Du.
Han Du glanced sideways at him, hesitated, and then said: "You, go back to the cabin, I am enough here."
Although Tang He had several sons, it seems from now on that only Tang Ding can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Duke of Xinguo. Han Du cannot let Tang Ding go out in any case.
Otherwise, how would I greet the Xinguo bus after returning to Beijing?
"Stop joking," Tang Ding said without any concern when talking to Han Du. He smiled calmly and said: "We are also a strong general after all. How could we leave a weak scholar like you here and hide in the cabin by yourself?
?”
Han Du frowned. Does this have anything to do with whether a strong general is a strong general or not? When a storm comes, he will have unrivaled power if he rolls around. When the storm comes and huge waves set off, there is a big difference between a strong general and a weak scholar like himself.
Before Han Du could speak, Tang Ding waved his hand to block Han Du's words, "Don't tell me that it's useless. Anyway, I know I can't persuade you, but you can't even try to persuade me."
Tang Ding started to cheat, so what else could Han Du say? He could only nodded and agreed to let him stay here.
Tang Ding, on the other hand, didn't care at all whether Han Du agreed or disagreed. He directly told Yu Da: "Take good care of Marquis Zhenhai. If something happens to him, I don't need to punish you. You can just jump into the sea by yourself."
.”
Yu Da suddenly clasped his fists hard and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. If something happens to Marquis Zhenhai, there is no need to jump into the sea. The general will wipe his neck directly."
Tang Ding nodded and praised: "Okay, now that I have heard this, I hope you can protect Marquis Zhenhai completely."
Han Du curled his lips helplessly and thought to himself: "Are you so weak? Do you want others to protect you?"
While the three of them were talking, the storm was getting closer.
The flagship, which was dazzled by the scorching sun just now, suddenly became gloomy and dim. The temperature of the hot deck also faded quickly. It didn't take long for the deck under the feet to become cold, with a slight chill.
The sea breeze blowing in front of you actually has a fresh smell. But the coldness mixed with this smell makes people feel extremely heavy.
All the sails have been lowered, but the oars on the lower deck are rowing faster and faster. Even all the navy officers have gone down to the lower deck to row, in order to increase the speed of the ship to the maximum.
If you encounter a storm and cannot escape, the only way is to force it through as quickly as possible. The faster the ship, the shorter the time it takes to cross the storm and the safer it is.
When encountering a storm, you can never set sail, so you can only rely on oars to provide speed to the ship.
The fleet rushed towards the black cloud curtain like an arrow from the string, and the entire sea and sky miraculously became quiet, as if even the sound of the oars had disappeared.
