Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Obviously, apart from Ming Dynasty, there is no other country in the world that can support such a huge project—maybe France can afford the relevant expenses, but the relevant personnel support cannot.

It is precisely because of this that the great voyages that the barbarians have advocated for centuries, and the Cape of Good Hope.

……

After the first fleet sailed, four warships passed through the Suez Canal encircling the flagship "Tianzi" where Emperor Chongzhen was located.

It wasn't that Zhang Zhiji, Zheng Zhilong and the others didn't want to arrange more warship escorts, but the huge size of the "Tianzi" made it possible for only three or five warships to sail in parallel on the river where several blessing boats could sail side by side.

Under such circumstances, if you want to protect the flagship of the "Tianzi" where Emperor Chongzhen is located, you cannot arrange more warships for protection, otherwise it will adversely affect the passage of the "Tianzi".

In fact, in Emperor Chongzhen's view, the worries of Zhang Zhiji, Zheng Zhilong and others were superfluous.

The "Tianzi" is good in the waterway of the Suez Canal, but not only the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire standing on both sides of the Suez Canal, but also the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are lined up on both sides of the river, some of them stand with their backs to Emperor Chongzhen, The other part was staring at the river in front of his eyes, following the "Tianzi" where Emperor Chongzhen was.

The breeze blew the clothes of Emperor Chongzhen, and the corners of the clothes were fluttering back and forth. The whole person stood on the deck and kept looking forward. Fang Zhenghua behind him was like a wooden stake, firmly guarding Emperor Chongzhen.

As for the sky, Emperor Chongzhen could only regret that he was a bit embarrassing to the traversers, or that his current technology tree was obviously not good enough, and he didn't even have a flying companion.

Imagine, what kind of experience would it be if there were several fighter planes accompanying the huge "Tianzi" like an aircraft carrier?

However, even though there were no fighter planes flying with him, the Emperor Chongzhen did not only have the blue sky, white clouds and the sun above his head, because there were also several airships flying with him.

The speed of the airship was not too fast, basically keeping the same speed as the "Tianzi", and it was always flying in the sky over Emperor Chongzhen.

Both sides of the canal were already crowded with people.

In addition to the guards on both sides of the strait, there were also a large number of civilians who crowded over to watch this rare sight in thousands of years.

Thanks to the geographical advantage of the Ottoman Empire, the crowd included not only the people of Ming Dynasty, but also the people of the Ottoman Empire, the people of the Mughals, Turkey and some Europeans.

However, among the crowd, the people of Ming Dynasty have the tallest chests—look, in front of me is my Ming Dynasty fleet, and on board is my son of Ming Dynasty, fighting for the people of Ming Dynasty!

In the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty, there is endless pride, but in the hearts of others, there is some discomfort.

They are all human beings, and they are all ordinary people. These Ming people can straighten their chests. No matter who they are facing, whether they are civilians or officials of the Ottoman Empire, their attitudes are the same. .

There is no contempt in their eyes, but that feeling is more uncomfortable than contempt.

Except for the awe that can be seen in their eyes when facing the officials of Ming Dynasty, at other times, they look at everyone with a kind of equality.

It is by no means a true equality, for the equality they see in each other is quite different from the equality they see in others.

It was a kind of equality with overlooking, even when a mere businessman was facing the consul of a city in the Ottoman Empire.

Yes, they have the right to see everyone as equal, because of their empire and their king, so they can be willful, and there is no difference between officials and people in other countries in their hearts.

But what about yourself?

Is there any difference if you are a commoner or an official?Will one's own country and king conquer another country for his own sake?Will you care about the grievances you have suffered overseas?

See what's written on their household registration certificate?

"This is to certify that the person holding this household registration certificate is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. The Household Department of the Daming Dynasty and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies request all countries, governments, and organizations to help and care for the person holding this household registration certificate as much as possible.

If he has violated the laws of other countries, please send him back to Daming to accept the trial of the Ming government. In addition, this person is protected by the Son of Heaven and the government and army of the Ming Empire. If there is any violation, don’t say it was unpredictable also. "

Look at the household registration certificate in your hand, how is it written?

"Please try to abide by the laws and regulations of the host country..."

This huge difference is where these Daming people are able to hold their chests upright!

And as the Tianzi, where Emperor Chongzhen was located, moved forward a little bit, someone on the bank took the lead and shouted, "Long live your majesty! Great Ming wins!"

After shouting this sentence, other Daming citizens began to follow up spontaneously, and in the end even the soldiers guarding the shore also shouted.

"Long live Your Majesty! Great Ming wins!"

The sound spread far away to the "Tianzi" where Emperor Chongzhen was located, and also reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that he could hear the shouts on the shore because there were enough people on the shore and the voices were loud enough, and even if he broke his throat, no one on the shore would be able to hear his voice.

As for letting the soldiers on the "Tianzi" shout with him, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a little embarrassed-was it too ostentatious?

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly adjusted his clothes and stood upright. He gave a military salute to the soldiers and common people on the bank, and turned his body slightly so that the soldiers and common people on both sides of the bank could see clearly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not let go of his hand, and the shouts on both sides of the strait did not stop. Even if his throat was dry and hoarse, the soldiers and people on the bank were still roaring.

For the king pioneer!

The emperor can travel thousands of miles across the sea for the sake of two Ming people, so why is he not a Ming citizen?If one day, he was wronged overseas, would the emperor go out to fight like today?

Even if the Son of Heaven will not go on a personal expedition again, will the military mansion and court princes go on an expedition with a large army again to uphold justice for themselves?

Among the crowd on the bank, a man with a slanting scar on his face had already burst into tears. After shouting for a long time with the other people, he suddenly pulled the brocade robe on his body and threw it on the ground. Kneeling down, he cried out in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I can still carry a knife!"

The servant behind him was already stunned, his master suddenly became like this, what should he do?To support or not to support?

But next to him, a commoner from Ming Dynasty who was also covered in Luo Qi didn't have as many worries as the boy, he stepped forward to hug the man who was kneeling and crying loudly, he tried his best to help him but he didn't get up, so he squatted down, He comforted him: "Brother Chen, don't cry, if there is anything else, just get up and talk about it."

Hearing the words, the man also got up from the ground, but there was no look in his eyes at all, and he was like a walking dead.

After being stunned for a long while, the man suddenly pushed away the person next to him, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Ximen don't leave the mother, the mother is not sad for the son. The man has history, but the son will never return.

Brother Hu, brother, when I heard these two lines of poems from Your Majesty, I felt my blood boil, wishing I could raise the three-foot sword and sweep away the world for the Son of Heaven!

Now that the emperor is going to fight, if I enjoy the glory and wealth here, I am afraid that I will not be at peace when I go underground!Brother's business here, you just need to help take care of it, if brother doesn't come back here, you can pass on brother's business to my Dalang. "

The man surnamed Hu was taken aback, and asked, "Brother, what do you want to do?"

The man surnamed Chen gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing? Naturally, I'm going to England to fight the enemy with His Majesty! Today's glory and wealth were all killed on the battlefield with a knife and a gun, and it was all brothers who risked their lives to fight for me!

To put it bluntly, I have enjoyed what should be enjoyed and what should not be enjoyed, brother, and I have no regrets in this life, I just miss those old brothers back then.

Now His Majesty is on an overseas expedition, just like when I followed His Majesty to the Northern Expedition, His Majesty's ambition has not changed, and my blood, Chen Ergou, has not changed!Isn't it just a little lame?I can still lift a knife and kill people! "

The man surnamed Hu grabbed Chen Ergou and shouted: "Brother! Brother! Look at the fleet in front of you! Look at the soldiers on the ship and on the shore! They are enough! You are not going for Your Majesty Help, you are making trouble!"

Chen Ergou knew that what the man surnamed Hu said was the truth.

The hamstring of his right foot was broken, and his marching speed must not be able to keep up. No matter how superb killing skills, no matter how seasoned battlefield experience, it was blank in front of his inconvenient legs.

It is impossible to stop and wait for me when the army is fighting. Once I really run to England, I am afraid that it will be like Boss Hu said, not helping but adding to the chaos.

Seeing that Chen Ergou finally calmed down a bit, Hu Dalang tightened his grip on Chen Ergou's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go back and have a good drink. After all these years, you have never mentioned that you once About following His Majesty's expedition to Mobei, let's talk to my elder brother properly today!"

Emperor Chongzhen on the "Son of Heaven" obviously didn't know all this on the shore, but the fire in Emperor Chongzhen's heart was the same as Chen Ergou's mood at this time.
