Rufa said: "Your Highness is right, but there are not many warriors who can wear this armor, and they don't know exactly how many there are."
Fang Zheng nodded in agreement unconsciously.
Judging from the pocket watch, Western craftsmanship should be more advanced than Dajing, but it is not much more advanced.
Such armor should not meet the conditions for mass production.
Without the birth of firearms, soldiers wearing heavy armor would be like tanks on the battlefield, and even muskets would not be able to penetrate them.
However, there is no need to worry about it now.
Firstly, the number of people in Hero Kingdom should be really small. Secondly, it has artillery, and its firearms are constantly being improved!
We may even see heavy armor withdraw from the stage of history in our lifetime.
"You go on."
Lufa continued: "Their knowledge is limited to the few small countries around them, and the situation is similar to that of Feka Country. But one thing is that they all believe in the same sect. Our transliterated name is Taifu Sect, and the people all worship gods. There is a pope in the church, and his dominance seems to be higher than that of the king."
"Sir, to be honest, it's a little difficult for me to hear about Taifu. Some of what they said, I still can't understand. Why would the king be subordinate to others?"
Fang Zheng shook his head.
He couldn't explain it either.
This information is far from enough and too vague. The four illiterate people do not have a high level of education, so they can only have a deep understanding by sending people over to have a look and communicate with each other in person.
Rufa continued to tell some details about his life. After he finished speaking one by one, Fang Zheng looked at Xiaoshuai.
Foreigners who can report crimes on their behalf should have the highest intelligence.
"Have you ever heard of the country Sangak?"
King Wu is the lord of Sangak. He is smart, courageous, and powerful. Now he has escaped overseas and I don’t know how he is doing.
Moreover, King Wu took away many talents from Dajing. If he produced some Dajing specialties, wouldn't it be easy to distribute them?
Now compared to those foreigners, he always felt that King Wu was much more dangerous.
He has a fanatical pursuit of thermal weapons, and he does not hesitate to risk his own life and get himself tied up. If he makes a lot of money and does something overseas, it will be bad.
Soon, Fang Zhengyi was disappointed.
Xiaoshuai shook his head and said he didn't know.
Then I asked several other people, and they all looked confused. I don’t know if it was because of their pronunciation or because they didn’t know anything about Sangak.
Fang Zheng sighed: "Okay, come with me to see His Majesty."
.......
In the palace.
Fang Zhengyi recounted the news that Lufa had received.
Emperor Jing was holding the stack of paintings and observing them seriously.
Then he raised his head and looked at the four foreigners, frowning and asked Fang Zhengyi: "Are all the people in their country so tall?"
Fang Zheng nodded: "I have asked, they are only of average size in China."
Emperor Jing put his hands behind his back and began to pace.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng waved his hand, coaxed the four of them down, approached Emperor Jing and said, "What do you want to say, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Jing sighed: "Foreigners are actually half a head taller than our Dajing people, with broad shoulders and long limbs. If this is just the quality of ordinary people, then the power of a single soldier cannot be underestimated."
Fang Zhengyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is just a racial difference. In my future, there will be abundant food. People can grow taller and stronger even if they eat as much meat as possible."
"Well, that's alright. Is there any news about the fourth child?"
"No, it seems we still need our fleet to look for it ourselves."
Emperor Jing sighed: "Today I can be considered to have seen Western exotic culture, which is really refreshing. It is really unimaginable that one religion can rule several countries."
"We should send people to communicate as soon as possible to find out the details of the other party. The fourth child is not very important now. How is our fleet prepared now?"
Fang Zheng said: "The ship has almost been built. I think it will be ready to sail in a month or two."
"I plan to train these foreigners before sending them back to serve as local guides. What do you think your Majesty would like?"
Emperor Jing nodded: "You can make your own arrangements in this regard. It's not a bad idea to drag them into the Jinyi Guards."
"Okay, let me make arrangements first."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he loudly shouted to several foreigners in the distance: "Crab breast meat! Let's go! Come here and say a few auspicious words to His Majesty!"
Emperor Jing asked curiously: "What does crab breast meat mean?"
"Your Majesty, this is how foreigners say hello. It has no specific meaning."
"I see." A look of understanding appeared on Emperor Jing's face, and he looked at the foreigners and said, "Crab breast meat! You are considered to have meritorious service, and each of you will be given ten stones of food."
Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly. Anyway, when he saw foreigners, he assumed that they knew how to speak English and always wanted to correct them.
However, these words coming from His Majesty's mouth were indeed a bit inconsistent, and he was as stingy as ever, so he gave me some food.
The four foreigners walked over in a daze, puffed up their chests instinctively, and said loudly: "Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and the construction of Jingguo is a big deal!"
"I am proud to be wandering in Dajing, and I am proud to live in Dajing!"
"The great scene is in my heart, shout out my patriotism!"
"I want to be a great person in this life!"
“Everyone takes action to eliminate dead spots in sanitation!”
The three foreigners all looked at Kalemi, who looked embarrassed and couldn't help but tilt her head.
Damn, the slogan of the health team is wrong!
Emperor Jing was speechless and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He pointed at Fang Zheng and said, "That's almost enough. After all, this person is a guest."
Fang Zheng smiled shyly.
Almost done? It seems that the work is still not done properly!
.....
Return to Zhenfu Division again.
Da Zhuang Xiaoshuai, Fo Bole, and Kalemi stood side by side.
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Everyone performed very well today, so I decided to give you a chance and allow you to join the Jin Yiwei. What do you think?"
The four of them looked at each other, and then Da Zhuang came out and said, "Sir Fang, do Jin Yiwei get paid? We don't want to eat army hot pot."
"Of course! You must be paid, and you don't have to eat military hotpot."
"We are willing!" the four replied in unison.
Fang Zheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since you are all willing, I can make a special exception and allow you to join the Jin Yiwei. If you behave well, I can send you home for free."
The four of them said in unison: "We don't want to go home, we want to be people of the great scenery."
"Um?"
"It's clean here, and the people on the street are kind to us. If we don't have to eat military hotpot, then we don't want to go back. It's good to be here."
"...."
