Several huge warships approached the port, causing shock to the port defenders. Especially the people on the watchtower at the port saw the unfamiliar flags on the warships. They panicked and immediately sounded the alarm bell at the port. They originally stayed there.
Several warships in the port also hurriedly sailed out of the port and faced the warships flying unfamiliar flags ahead.
Looking at the hurriedly approaching Dutch warships, Mo Hui, who had been bored all the way here, was so excited that he immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for war. In less than ten minutes, nine warships, including the big treasure ship, immediately opened their gun doors, revealing a black hole.
The muzzle of the gun, but this makes a person anxious...
The furious Major Nairn hurried over and yelled at Mo Hui: "Mo Dutong, you can't do this. Do you want to provoke a war between your two countries?"
"Major Nairn, you have to understand that it is your country that is causing trouble now, not us!"
As a soldier, Mo Hui is not lacking in bloodiness. When faced with Nairn's accusation, he just pointed at the ships coming from the opposite side and said coldly: "Please tell me, those ships on the other side are not here to welcome us.
"
"I........"
Nairn was speechless for a while. Who can blame you? This is the first time your flag is flying in a Dutch port, and they don't recognize it either.
"Okay, don't be impulsive. Quickly use flags to contact the person on the other side to eliminate the misunderstanding." Nairn, who was sweating profusely with anxiety, had no choice in the face of the equally tough Mo Hui, so he had to plead with Lin Feng on the side.
said in a tone of voice.
Lin Feng: "Okay, Vice Commander Mo, we'd better contact the warship on the opposite side, otherwise it will be bad if there is a misunderstanding. This also goes against the reason why Panda sent us here. Major Nairn, I think it's you."
It’s better to send the signal yourself.”
Lin Feng and Mo Hui, one red-faced and the other white-faced, left Nairn speechless. They had no choice but to climb onto the hanging basket on the mast, took the flag bearer's flag, and acted as flag bearers. They asked the other side about the purpose of the warship's visit.
, and revealed his identity.
Facing the huge warships and the black muzzles, although the Dutch warships that rushed over also put on a menacing posture, they were also beating drums in their hearts as they rushed into battle. When they saw the signal from the other side,
The leading officer also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It turns out to be the fleet from the Eastern Ming Dynasty. No wonder we have never seen this kind of flag." The captain, who was wearing a red and blue military uniform, breathed a sigh of relief and then ordered: "Hurry up and lower the battle flag. Raise it to welcome
Flag of the honored guest, I guess our King will send an envoy soon."
Following the order of the leading officer, more than a dozen warships leaving the port quickly changed their battle formation into a welcoming V-shaped formation, and colorful flags began to be hung on each ship.
"Master Mo, the opponent has changed their formation!"
On the deck, Mo Hui and others heard the lookout's excited voice, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Mo Hui's attitude was very tough, he also knew that after more than half a year of wandering at sea, the sailors were both physically and mentally exhausted.
He was already very tired, so he was very unwilling to start a war with the Netherlands, a maritime power, unless he had to. From the moment when the opponent's warships left the port in a hurry, until the opponent was able to quickly change their formations in a short period of time, Mo Hui
I know that the other party is indeed a maritime power, and the quality of its navy is really impressive.
After a brief exchange, the two parties who cleared up the misunderstanding slowly drove to the pier. At this time, the well-informed Amsterdam port was already crowded with people watching the excitement. The well-informed people already knew that there was someone from
The Eastern fleet was approaching the dock, and the news spread quickly to all directions at lightning speed.
"Oh, God! These Oriental ships are so fucking big!"
James, who had already hurried to the port with his girlfriend, hugged Lillian and exclaimed.
"Yes James, it would be really cool if you could be the first mate on this ship." Lillian also exclaimed at the side.
Like this group of lovers, there were many people who were astonished by this fleet coming from afar. They all looked at the fleet in amazement and marveled at the huge monster standing in the middle.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! The Governor is here!"
When nine huge ships slowly sailed to the dock in sequence under the guidance of a small boat, Alexa Biddle, the governor in Amsterdam, also heard the news and came, accompanied by more than 200 Dutch people.
Army soldiers.
After Governor Alexa arrived at the port, he immediately ordered the soldiers to line up. After the soldiers lined up in two lines, they began to watch the huge ship in front of them slowly approaching the shore.
Alexa was very surprised and said to her deputy, Colonel Burt Kitson: "General Burt, I really didn't expect those Easterners to be able to build such a huge warship. It's incredible."
Colonel Burt is a middle-aged man with blond curly hair and a medium build. He can be considered a senior navy man. He looked at the approaching ships with critical eyes and said solemnly: "Yes,
I was also surprised by this. When Colonel Leeds sent a signal just now, saying that this fleet was an envoy coming from the far east, I was also shocked. If they hadn't said that there were other people on the other side's fleet,
A major officer from our country came on the ship, I’m afraid I can’t help but wonder if this is a scam.”
Alexa nodded: "Yes, the fleet coming from the distant and mysterious east is so fascinating. I believe our King will receive our urgent report tomorrow, right?"
"This is not our business. Let's leave it to His Majesty the King."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the largest Pier 1, because the other party's largest warship was docked there.
At this moment, everyone on the dock held their breath, and countless people's eyes were fixed on it. Slowly, people began to walk down from the deck.
Everyone's eyes were stunned as the people came down. The first person to come down was obviously a civil servant. He wore an exquisite hat and crown on his head, and his black and red silk robe was embroidered with the entire Netherlands city.
Birds and beasts that no one knows, each one is so mysterious and elegant. The gorgeous hem of the robe is embroidered with various patterns, which are combined into a complex and harmonious pattern.
Behind him stood several people who were clearly military attaches. They were wearing beautiful armors. These armors were embroidered with intricate patterns. You could tell at a glance that they must have been carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen.
The armor plates on the armor stretched like fish scales, and on their chests, two round mirror-like armor plates reflected dazzling reflections.
Governor Alexa took a breath: "Dear Colonel Burt. Judging from the clothes of their officials, their country must be very powerful and their culture must be very prosperous. What do you think?"
Colonel Burt was also a little dazzled: "I guess so too. You see, they all use silk to make their dresses. It's really extravagant."
At this time, the Port of Amsterdam was immersed in crowds, flowers, cheers and salutes. The Port of Amsterdam was immersed in a carnival. Amsterdam had not been wrapped in this kind of enthusiasm for decades. Persian carpets woven with bright patterns were laid all the way.
Only when the pedals of the boat reached Lin Feng's feet did Lin Feng come back to his senses.
At this time, he was seeing a tall old man with blond hair walking over, accompanied by a middle-aged soldier wearing a red and blue military uniform. Lin Feng immediately greeted him, followed closely behind him by a group of soldiers.
name translation.
"Welcome, distinguished guests from afar."
As soon as Lin Feng stepped onto the pier, he saw the blond old man striding over, stretching out his hands and hugging him, which shocked Lin Feng. Fortunately, Lin Feng heard Major Nairn say that this is unique to the Obaro people.
Understanding, he reluctantly put on a smile and opened his hands.
After the hug, Governor Alexa said some polite words in a very high-sounding manner. Lin Feng also listened to the translator constantly translating the meaning, and then politely expressed his thanks.
Major Nairn, who had been standing behind Lin Feng, also stood up and said loudly: "Reporting to the Governor, Major Nairn was ordered to lead the Ming Dynasty envoy back to China. The mission has been completed. Please give your instructions!"
"Major Nairn, thank you for your hard work." Alexa nodded with a smile, "How are you, Governor Putsman?"
"He is very good. Governor Putsmann also asked me to bring you his greetings."
"Very good. I will report your achievements this time to His Majesty the King."
"Thank you for your compliment!" Although Nairn's face was full of solemnity, he was secretly smiling bitterly. Who among the people here knew that he was demoted because he was not welcomed by Governor Putsman?
Woolen cloth.
At this time, Mo Hui and others also began to get off the boat, and the two parties began to introduce each other one by one.
"This is our navy deputy commander Mo Hui, and this is Mr. Kong Lin, the leader of their caravan. This is..."
"This is my deputy, Colonel Burt of the Third Squadron of the Royal Netherlands Navy's Fifth Fleet."
When Governor Alexa introduced Colonel Burt, Lin Feng's eyes made lightning contact with Colonel Burt and then he immediately shrank back. Soldiers always have an amazing intuition about their peers.
"Hello, I am Mo Hui, deputy commander of the Qingzhou Navy of the Ming Dynasty."
Major Nairn, on the other hand, translated the words of the two of them respectively. After listening, both of them laughed, full of a feeling of sympathy for each other.
After everyone chatted for half an hour, groups of soldiers came off the boat. They were wearing brightly polished chainmail, iron helmets on their heads, red mandarin duck jackets, and iron nets on their feet.
When the soldiers in boots, carrying mini rifles on their shoulders, marched in neat formation to the dock and stood still, the atmosphere on the dock reached a fever pitch.
"Oh my god, these soldiers are so powerful. I think I've been fascinated by them."
This is what some ladies and girls who cover their small mouths say.
"The guns on their shoulders are very strange. There is no match rope. What did they use to light the gunpowder?" It was the soldiers who had these questions.
After the two parties exchanged greetings, Governor Alexa arranged for them to arrive at the Guest House. However, after arriving at the Guest House, Lin Feng and the others' good mood was ruined by something as soon as they arrived at your place.
It has to be said that the Oparos in the seventeenth century were still very backward in some aspects. For example, some of their habits and urban sanitation conditions were very poor.
Along the way, Lin Feng and the others saw the streets full of animal and human feces, the backyard of the guest house smelled of urine, and even the bedroom smelled of oily sheets, damp duvets, and chamber pots.
There was an acrid smell, the smell of sulfur from the fireplace. The people smelled of sweat and dirty clothes, the smell of bad teeth came from their mouths, and from their stomachs came onion juice.
taste.
"Master Lin, I can't stand it anymore. The smell here is unbearable. I would rather smell the rotten smell and blood of dead people on the battlefield than smell this... this
The smell can kill a living person, otherwise I would rather go back to the ship to live."
The next day, Mo Hui, who had dark eyes, found Lin Feng and complained to him.
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Master Mo, please be patient. I heard that their king will come tomorrow. Please be patient for one more day, and then we will go to The Hague. There are fewer people in The Hague, so it will not be as dirty as here."
."
"That's good, I don't want to stay here any longer!" Mo Huichang said a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Lin, it's not just that I'm squeamish, it's really, it's too dirty here. If it were replaced by Daming, even if it were
The poorest village is cleaner than this."
"I know." Lin Feng stopped Mo Hui, "To be honest, I can't bear it, but we have a heavy responsibility, so this little hardship is nothing, and the patience will be over. Oh. By the way, Kong Lin
Where are they? Are they still at the Guest House?"
"No way!" Mo Hui shook his head and said. How could these people still sleep? They went out early in the morning, I guess they went to discuss business.
Lin Feng laughed: "These people must have been exhausted on the boat, and they went out to have fun..."
Lin Feng was right. Now Kong Lin took a few entourages and a translator and went shopping all the way to a tavern.
After walking for a long time, a follower beside Kong Lin said: "Master, let's go in and have a few drinks. It's really... too..."
"Too dirty, isn't it?"
Kong Lin laughed and said, "What's not to say? These barbarians are really dirty. You can see it from their streets. I guess they can take a bath three times in their life. Let's go in."
Have two drinks.”
After saying that, Kong Lin walked into the tavern with three attendants and an interpreter.
This is a tavern with an exotic flavor. The drinking area is only less than 70 square meters. Under the dim light, there are more than 20 low wooden tables. Dozens of ragged people are sitting in the tavern.
As soon as Obaro, Kong Lin and others came in, everyone's eyes fell on them.
A tall, fairly decent-looking young woman with freckles on her face walked up to them, smiled and said a few words in Dutch.
"Master, this girl asked us what we want to order?"
"Ask them what they have here?"
"She said there was only ale and some bread."
"Then no one wants a beer!"
After Kong Lin and the others ordered a few glasses of ale through the interpreter, they went to an empty seat and made it. But as soon as they sat down, Kong Lin felt that he was sitting on something greasy and smooth. Without looking, Kong Lin
I knew that the clothes I had just changed must not be passed around again.
Kong Lin, with a trace of bitterness on his face, lamented that it was a huge mistake and tragedy that he had come to this place while floating in the air and barely survived. Kong Lin, who was only sighing at his unluckiness, did not realize that there were already several pairs of unlucky people around him.
Kind eyes stared at myself.
A middle-aged man with gray hair and shabby clothes said to his companions: "Hey, Gulis, did you see that these businessmen from the East are wearing the finest silk?"
Well, don’t you have any ideas?”
"Olida, you are crazy. If you touch them, I guarantee that your body will be floating in the Liver River this afternoon. They are guests of His Excellency the Governor." A companion said in a horrified voice.
"You damn customer, I only know that if I don't get any more money, I might starve to death tomorrow. If I don't do something for such a good guy, even God won't forgive me."
Lida's fleshy face squirmed a few times, and his dim eyes were full of greed. He drank the ale in front of him and shouted loudly: "Lillian, another glass of ale!"
After a while, the young woman at the bar came to Olida with a glass of wine, slapped it heavily on the table, and said angrily: "Alida, this is the last drink, you'd better have it.
Please settle the previous bill before tonight, otherwise you will not step into the door of our pub again in the future!"
"Hehe, don't worry, today I can not only settle the debt I owed you before, but I will also have the money to marry you." Olida smiled lewdly and stretched out her hand to the other person's plump vagina.
, there is also a set of yellow and black teeth in the mouth.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, Lillian slapped off the opponent's wet hand without politeness. Liu Mei shouted straightly: "If you don't want your hand to be chopped off by James, you can go crazy and try it."
Lillian's boyfriend James was a celebrity in this area, and he had dozens of sailors who were loyal to him. No matter how courageous Olida was, she didn't dare to overdo it, so she had to smile brightly and act honestly.
In the same place, but a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Lillian let out a soft "hum", twisted her waist and returned to the counter.
After withdrawing her lewd gaze from Lilian's plump breasts, Olida lowered her head and said: "Brothers, you have also seen that even Lilian, a stinky bitch, looks down on us without money. What do you think?
Get your vote!"
Several people next to him looked at each other and nodded silently...
