Harder couldn't understand the idea of the coming of all nations, because such an exaggerated kingdom had never appeared in his knowledge. In the memory 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 the capital Chang'an to worship every year. Even Persia and Dashi sent envoys, merchants, etc. to the Tang Dynasty to worship. . Hundreds of pilgrims go 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 Harold pays homage to the only heir to the Kingdom of Heaven and the future ruler of the empire, His Royal Highness."
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 still knows how to advance and retreat well. Why do you have to say these things to scare him?"
Han Du's series of actions could be hidden from others, but they could not be hidden from Zhu Biao's eyes. He knew very clearly that Han Du was guiding Hard, 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 will try their best to get up when they see carrion. They only value strength, no ethics, All learning and knowledge are worthless in their eyes, they only believe in the scimitar in their hands."
"Therefore, when dealing with such people, it is useless to be courteous and polite. 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 Ming Dynasty is, so that he can think carefully if he has ulterior motives and whether he is qualified to offend us. "
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 greedy for money. If he could If you 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 to pay it back? I will tell him later that as long as he is obedient and leads us to find those pirate treasures, we will Give him his goods and let him take them to pay his debts.”
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 toast 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 instantly and became extremely serious.
What's the shady story here? This is simply a sign of the coming big storm!
"What's wrong?" He paused after seeing Han Du pick up the wine glass.
Zhu Biao and Tang Ding both looked at Han Du strangely.
Han Du raised his hand and pointed at 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 dark scene in the distance. The wine glass held in Tang Ding's hand unexpectedly slipped to the deck unconsciously, and every drop of the wine inside was spilled.
Han Du immediately turned around and ordered to Tang Ding: "Quickly go and send the message, let all ships be ready, all ships 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 fight hard.
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.”
Before the storm even approached, it put an extremely heavy pressure on Han Du. If you don't meet it sooner, you won't meet it later. It happened that he met Zhu Biao when he was taking him out to sea. Han Du even had some doubts. Was Zhu Biao's luck not that good? It is not unreasonable to say that it was because of Zhu Biao's bad luck. According to the history that Han Du once knew, Zhu Biao had already died when he fell into the water after returning to Beijing from an inspection tour of Xi'an. The reason why Zhu Biao is still alive now is entirely because Han Du saw through the imperial doctor's conspiracy.
"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 instantly threw away all the random thoughts in his heart. Regardless of whether it was Zhu Biao's bad luck or not, he had to take him back with all his beard and tail intact.
Han Du turned around and smiled at Zhu Biao, "Don't worry, Your Highness, what haven't you seen when I go out 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 Suigu? I'll leave this place to you." Lieutenant General, they will take care of it."
If the deputy general can handle it well, why should Han Du take the risk? Zhu Biao was right. It was indeed very dangerous to be outside in such a big storm. But Han Du had to do it. Although Han Du had always left the opportunity to stand out to other members of the navy, he often said that professional matters should be left to professional people. But that's because Han Du is lazy, it doesn't mean that Han Du's ability to command the naval fleet is not good.
Even now, Han Du's naval command ability is still admired by all naval officers.
Han Du looked into Zhu Biao's eyes, continued for a few breaths, and suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness, go to the cabin to 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. 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, it's enough for me to be here."
Although Tang He has several sons, it seems from now on that only Tang Ding can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Xinguo Duke's government. Han Du couldn't let anything happen to Tang Ding no matter what. Otherwise, how would he treat Xinguo 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 the fact that a strong general is not a strong general? The storm is coming, and it has unrivaled power if it rolls around. When the storm came and huge waves set off, there was no difference between the fierce general and the 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 there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I know I can't persuade you, but you can't persuade me either."
Tang Ding was already cheating, what else could Han Du say? He had no choice but to nod and agree to him staying here.
Tang Ding, on the other hand, didn't care at all whether Han Du agreed or disagreed. He directly ordered 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 dazzling 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 beneath my feet to become cold, with a hint of chill.
The sea breeze blowing in the face actually has a fresh smell. It's just that the coldness mixed with this smell makes it feel extremely heavy.
All the sails have been lowered, but the oars on the lower deck are rowing faster and faster. Even all the naval officers went down to the lower deck to row the boats in order to increase the speed of the boats to the maximum.
When encountering a storm, if you cannot escape, the only way is to force your way through it 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 must 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, and the entire sea and sky miraculously became quiet, as if even the sound of the oars had disappeared.
