Chapter 276 [275] Still not kneeling?!(1/3)
Chapter 276 [275] Still not kneeling down?!
Fei Xin and Ma Huan were very polite.
They already have the experience of visiting many countries, and as they just "sung", the Ming Dynasty came from afar to demonstrate the virtue and benevolence of a great country.
How to show it specifically?
Be polite first and then fight!
Anyone who respects our Ming Dynasty will also be rewarded by His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
On the contrary, the Nanyang countries have tasted the taste of letting the Ming fleet flex its muscles.
Su Qianla, who killed his father and usurped the throne in the small country called "Sumatra", is now in the ship prison and has become a criminal.
This scene would seem familiar to any living person.
Is there a world police?
A small country in Nanyang was in turmoil. Only a fleet of the Ming Dynasty passed by, which influenced the change of power in other countries.
He also turned the prince into a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
I would like to ask, how can the laws of the Ming Dynasty be applied to Sumatra?
But the fact is that strength comes first.
The Ming Dynasty fleet is now on its fourth mission to the West, and wherever it goes, there is no obstacle.
This is not just because of the current prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, but also because of the influence of previous generations.
Among the many small countries in Southeast Asia, the "Qin people overseas" are the highest.
If a local commits the crime of murder, he must pay with his life; but if an "expatriate" commits a murder, he can be exempted from the crime as long as he pays money.
Of course, the small country was not afraid that the ancient oriental country would send troops to attack because of a few foreigners.
Because the overseas Chinese controlled the channels for maritime trade, the Eastern natives from the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties were definitely willing to do business with these overseas Chinese.
Silk, porcelain, and tea in today’s world;
It is similar to the lithography machines, semiconductors and chips of later generations.
Whoever controls the economic roots has potential influence.
It's just that from the perspective of people in this era, there is no such far-reaching consideration.
But even so...
Underneath the "politeness" of Ma Huan and Fei Xin, there was also a hint of arrogance.
Because they know that Ming Dynasty is invincible.
The so-called Naruhito is a "high-sounding" that only the strong can claim.
"I don't like them."
Zhou Ruoyu frowned slightly, always feeling an inexplicable discomfort.
His whisper was met with nods of approval from all the law monks, because everyone had a similar feeling.
Tiaoyu caught the inspiration and said: "It's hypocrisy and dishonesty!"
Everyone suddenly became enlightened upon hearing this.
Isn't it hypocrisy to say Deren but imply arrogance?
aside.
Gaza was shocked when he heard these words.
Don’t the envoys like the people of Ming Dynasty?
So what should they do?
However, before Gaza could speak, he heard Dioyu whispering: "Tell His Highness the Prince and everyone else not to reveal our identities!"
"Only in this way can we see the true knowledge of Ming Dynasty."
Gaza breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and gave instructions to Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan was also shocked after hearing this: "Uncle Wang, what does this mean?"
"It's too late to explain, but we must strictly instruct everyone not to go against the will of the divine envoy!"
"As for the matter of trade with the Ming Dynasty, don't mention it now. Everything will be decided with a balanced will after the arrival of our Lord True God."
"Which is more important or less important? Your Highness should understand."
Qiao Lan gasped...
I was astonished in my heart.
It is true God's will to welcome and wait for the Ming Dynasty, but don't want to encounter a reversal now?
But even without Gaza reminding him, he would make a decisive choice.
After all, it would be blasphemous to compare the True God with the Ming Dynasty.
"You must obey the order and must not reveal the identity of the envoy. Anyone who violates this will be severely punished."
The words were shouted three times and spread to the five boats.
People were in an uproar and immediately fell into nervous silence.
And such a scene.
Fei Xin and Ma Huan saw it all.
They didn't understand Qiao Lan's scolding order because...
"What are they talking about?" Fei Xin frowned.
Ma Huan shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be a food language, but their local aboriginal language."
Fei Xin suddenly became nervous: "Does this Malindi man have malicious intentions?"
The words between the two also reached Gaza's ears.
Seeing that the situation was gradually turning weird, he knew he couldn't neglect it, so after asking Qiao Lan for instructions, he took a step forward——
"On behalf of the Lord of Malindi, I extend my sincere greetings and welcome to the envoy of the Ming Dynasty."
"And the person beside me is the prince of the country, His Highness Qiaolan!"
"The Lord and His Highness heard that the Ming Dynasty's envoy fleet was approaching, and they have arranged a banquet in the palace to entertain the distinguished envoys from afar!"
After Gaza opened its mouth.
Everyone in the boat was blinded.
Since traveling to the area around Mugudu, they have never seen an Arab who knew the Ming language.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were of course a large number of Arab merchants who were fluent in both languages, but their footprints were mostly limited to Guli and Ceylon.
After arriving in East Africa, communication with the Arabs relied solely on their interpreters.
"You know the language of the Ming Dynasty? But have you ever been to the Ming Dynasty to do business?"
The tension between Fei Xin and Ma Huan was instantly dispersed, and their favorability levels increased significantly.
Gaza said: "My father was once a slave of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, he was exiled here due to the turmoil. I have settled in Malindi to this day. Everything I learned when I was young was taught by my father. I will never forget it."
"Now, I have been promoted by the king to serve as a consultant to the kingdom."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Tiaoyu and others.
Seeing them nodding slightly, I felt calmer.
Fei Xin laughed: "Okay, I didn't expect that in this far west land, I can still find people who can speak my Ming language. Come on, follow us on board the treasure ship and meet the envoy!!"
The small boat led the way and led them to a medium-sized ship.
Climb up first.
Who would have thought that this boat was used as a "ladder"?
A group of people walked across the deck to the other side, and there was another second-class large ship alongside. All they had to do was step firmly on the sampan to get to the larger ship.
After passing the big ship, another sampan was lowered, which happened to connect with the cabin of the third treasure ship.
The people of Malindi were shocked.
Tiaoyu and others were also amazed at the ingenious design of its orifice.
"I didn't expect they had such a plan?"
Jumping Fish opens "encrypted communication".
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then smiled, knowing that he probably spoke "Modoc".
Jumping Fish is a Mono, but he was the first to surrender to Balance, and later became a cow shit guard. He not only learned the rules of the language, but also nearly learned the Modoc language.
There were more than a dozen people present, mostly monks from the Great Lakes region and southern Utah who spoke the Aztec language.
