As the small two-sail boat entered the North Sea, Jia Tanchun began to become nervous again. Li Miao had no choice but to keep comforting him. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Li Miao's small double-sailed boat was already carrying out a guard of honor for the princess. Li Miao's ship also deliberately slowed down. It looks like an ordinary small sea ship. The guards and sailors on the ship also immediately withered.
Li Miao stood on the bow of the ship and put on a brand-new official uniform of the fourth rank. His body is full of bookishness. The sea breeze blows in the face, and Li Miao's clothes are fluttering. What an air of immortality.
Li Miao has not released Tao Yun yet, but he now has a profound level of enlightenment. Even if you don't release Tao Yun, your harmony with nature will be incomparable to ordinary people. In Jia Tanchun's eyes, he was clearly a direct immortal.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door. Jia Tanchun is also a person with Taoist charm. She thought she already knew Li Miao very well. But now I feel like I can’t see through it at all.
Jia Tanchun's feelings for Li Miao gradually changed from admiration to admiration. At first I was still a little dazed and a little scared. At this time, it has long been thrown out of the sky. With Li Miao by your side, what else do you have to worry about?
Li Miao had already seen land at this time, and Beihai Port was already in sight. Gradually, Li Miao saw the ships in the port. There are more than thirty ships, large and small, full of exotic customs. It should be a sea ship from the small country of Annan.
The big sea-going ship is much bigger than Li Miao's three-sailed sea-going ship. The small sea-going ship is similar to Li Miao's two-sailed small sea-going ship. The production of sea-going ships is still poor, but the wood used in large and small sea-going ships makes Li Miao envious.
It is all made of nanmu, which is too luxurious. Li Miao is definitely an expert in building sea-going ships in theory. The craftsmanship of Li Miao's current shipyard are all produced by his handiwork.
If these good woods are used in Li Miao's ships. Of course, using all the best nanmu is still too heavy and will affect the speed of seagoing ships. It is best to use high-quality nanmu for the keels of seagoing ships.
The sturdiness of such a sea-going ship should be doubled. Moreover, most of the keel is underwater during sailing, which hardly affects the sailing speed of the ship. This is Li Miao’s ideal ocean-going ship.
It seems that this time the wood from these thirty-odd ships far exceeded my expectations. Coupled with the more than 30,000 mining slaves and the wealth plundered by the army of the small Annan country, it is definitely an unexpected and huge harvest.
At this time, the army of the small Annan country also discovered that Li Miao's ship was slowly approaching. Seeing the princess's ceremonial guard on the boat, she suddenly burst out laughing. They all knew that Princess Heqin had arrived and the money for compensation had arrived.
They definitely came back with a full harvest this time. The Barbarian King also stood on his car and watched. In fact, the Barbarian King was also afraid. If the tiger Dazheng Chao was provoked, his life as a mouse would not be saved.
Therefore, the Barbarian King was also very cautious and was ready to evacuate at any time. At the slightest sign of trouble, retreat immediately. If the Zheng Dynasty sends troops again, it will not be something he can bear. Anyway, I have gained a lot this time.
If the Emperor of the Zheng Dynasty knew what the Barbarian King was thinking, I wonder if he would be happy? Or will you beat your chest and beat your chest?
But now that the barbarian king saw the marriage ship, his heart finally felt relieved. It seemed that he was still too careful, as Da Zheng Chao was already suffering from a serious illness. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.
If the Barbarian King finds out, Li Miao will now regard his car and all the ships as the keels of his future ships. I wonder what you would think?
Li Miao did not use his spiritual consciousness from beginning to end, still worried that there would be experts in Annan's army. So it’s better to play it safe for now. Li Miao was determined not to use his spiritual consciousness until the moment he took action. It must be a one-hit kill.
Even if there are experts around the Barbarian King, Li Miao will not hesitate to give the Barbarian King a fatal blow when he reaches the sea. He would never let the Barbarian King leave so easily. Besides, aren’t you an expert?
Li Miao is now an expert in the late stage of foundation building, although he does not have complete cultivation techniques. It should be no problem to deal with ordinary Qi Refining monks. As for the foundation-building monks, can the Barbarian King hire them?
After Li Miao waited for the ship to dock, he immediately disembarked and waited on the shore with a guard of honor as the ambassador. Jia Tanchun and others continued to wait on the boat.
Li Miao's etiquette was very particular. The Zheng Dynasty was a state of etiquette and the most disciplined. Although Li Miao was only wearing the official uniform of the fourth rank at this time, he was the peace ambassador of the Zheng Dynasty and used the ceremonial guard of the second rank.
Li Miao is currently the face of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Soon an envoy from Annan came over and took Li Miao to see the Man King. Along the way, Li Miao saw that most of the military camps were occupied by Han soldiers. Only a few Annan soldiers guarded it.
Han Chinese soldiers are almost all skinny. Think about it. Is it easy to guard them when they are hungry and have no strength? Most of the troops from the small Annan country were already on board. Li Miao understood. They were probably afraid too and were ready to evacuate at any time.
Soon Li Miao boarded the Barbarian King's ship. It's quite ridiculous to think about the Zheng Dynasty. This time, they only sent one ambassador, Li Miao, and no deputy ambassador, not even a translator.
After Li Miao boarded the ship, he saw the huge ship clearly. It is nearly half the size of a three-sailed ship. There were almost a thousand sailors on the ship alone.
Li Miao thought it was normal. They were all sea-going ships made of fine nanmu. How heavy they were! It's just a thousand sailors rowing as hard as they can, plus sails. I guess it won’t go anywhere soon?
There are nearly 2,000 guards on this sea-going ship. It seems that the security measures of the Barbarian King are still very strict. The closer you get to the Barbarian King's cockpit, the more guards there are. It seems that the guard's force value is also higher.
Under the guidance of the envoy, Li Miao quickly arrived at the Barbarian King's cabin. Li Miao saw clearly the Barbarian King sitting on the tiger-skin chair. He looks very thick, his upper body is normal, but his legs are still relatively short. Sitting on a tiger-skin chair, your feet never touch the ground.
It looks like a short-legged tiger, but its eyes are bright. Li Miao faintly felt that there was a pressure on the Barbarian King. It seems that people really cannot be judged by their appearance.
Li Miao has a strong scholarly spirit, neither arrogant nor humble. He bowed to the Barbarian King. The Barbarian King squinted at Li Miao. There are still people in the Great Zheng Dynasty. Even a messenger who was forced to come has this kind of magnanimity.
The Barbarian King still knew something about the situation in the Zheng Dynasty. This is not a good job as a friendly ambassador. Therefore, the Barbarian King was even more afraid of the Zheng Dynasty. Maybe this invasion of the Zheng Dynasty was not a wise decision.
The Barbarian King thought about it again and realized that he was not afraid anyway. Da Zheng Chao could not take care of him at all now. The steppe Tatars were too much for them to handle. Otherwise, Zheng Chao would not be so happy, paying money and getting married to the princess.
Then Li Miao made two demands. First, as the peace ambassador, Li Miao will escort the princess to the Annan Kingdom and then return to the Zheng Dynasty. This is also the responsibility of the ambassador. There was no objection from either party.
Second, five million taels of silver cannot be used as war compensation. It was a dowry purchased by the Internal Affairs Office of the Zheng Dynasty for the princess. This is actually the political capital that Li Miao himself gained for this trip and the ambassadorial mission. It was also to confuse the barbarian king.
The greatest shame for a court is to cede territory, pay indemnities, and make marriage. Cutting off territory is the greatest shame. Compensation comes second, and marriage comes third. Therefore, if Li Miao can turn the compensation into a dowry paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's a great achievement.
The two sides argued about this matter for a long time, and finally the Barbarian King understood the situation. The coffin was sealed with one sentence: You people in the Zheng Dynasty are really pedantic.
Of course, Li Miao didn't know, what exactly did the Barbarian King say? However, the translation of the envoy who was red-faced after arguing with Li Miao has yet to be verified.
However, the second condition raised by Li Miao was due to the barbarian king's jabbering remarks. That's it.
