Fang Zhengyi gradually got closer.
When I arrived at the port, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when I saw the scene of a big banquet, and then led people into it.
As soon as he entered the port, hundreds of sharp eyes focused on Fang Zhengyi.
Zhang Biao's hand immediately reached into his coat.
Fang Zheng raised his hand to hint Zhang Biao not to act rashly, and was secretly speechless.
These should all be sailors. At first, everyone wore standard military uniforms when going to sea. Over the years, the clothes have become unwearable due to the erosion of time and sea breeze.
So everyone is wearing strange clothes, which looks very diverse.
Although he was dressed in rags, his ferocious aura was truly astonishing.
While both sides were observing, suddenly a majestic voice sounded: "Brothers, the imperial court has sent someone to pick us up!"
The sailors slowly lowered their guard and relaxed, and tears began to form in the corners of many of them's eyes.
Is the imperial court coming to take us home? How long have I been waiting for this day, how long have I longed for this day, and now my dream has come true!
But it turns out that the uniforms of the officers and soldiers have been changed to this... They are really bright and beautiful.
Fang Zheng glanced at Zheng Hui first, and then saw Lai Gouer, who was stunned on the spot.
Then he turned his eyes to the sailors and said loudly: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. I have been ordered by Your Majesty to take you all back home!"
Thunderous cheers rang out, and the historian was so shocked that he picked up his pen and started recording.
Fang Zheng walked straight towards Zheng Huizhi. He had met Zheng Huizhi twice, but he still felt awe in his heart when he looked at this man with a resolute face.
"Master Zheng, you've had a hard time on this trip."
Zheng Hui's eyes were filled with tears and he pursed his lips: "Zheng Hui is honored to have Mr. Fang come in person."
"Brother..." Lai Gou'er stared at Fang Zhengyi and kept mouthing, and finally squeezed out this sentence from his throat.
Looking at the dark-faced and rough-skinned Lai Gou'er, Fang Zhengyi's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
He stepped forward and gave him a big hug.
"Dog, thank you for your hard work. Big brother has missed you every day these years. It's great to see you go home safely now."
Due to the weather, the child now looks older than me... But it's enough to be back!
After the hug, Lai Gouer wiped the corners of his eyes: "Brother, how have you been in these years?"
"How can my life be like, big brother? It seems like the things on the ship haven't been unloaded yet, right? Let's sit down and chat slowly." Fang Zheng said as he took Lai Gou'er's arm and sat down, "Wait until the things here are finished. , Big brother will take you back to Beijing to see Hsinchu."
"Who is Hsinchu?" Lai Gouer scratched his head and asked.
This name seemed unusually familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Fang Zhengyi's smile froze on his face.
forget? !
I forgot my first love, and I forgot all about it after three years at sea! Damn, it’s really like growing up in one step.
"It's the little maid from the Chu family that you liked at the beginning."
"Oh...I think of my eldest brother, but after all these years of drifting on the sea, I have no feelings for her anymore."
After Zheng Hui heard this, he swallowed and rubbed the stool a few times to get the dog farther away.
Fang Zhengyi said with emotion: "Okay, why should a man worry about being without a wife? If you forget it, just forget it, and let's find a better one. Let's talk about business first, and let's talk about the rest when we go home. What have you gained from this trip, except What else do you have on those ships, fellow sailors?”
Zheng Hui turned around and pointed at the ships one by one: "This time we have gained an extremely rich harvest. That one contains the ashes of our deceased brother, that one contains the seeds of overseas plants that you requested, and those five ships. It contains gold, silver, treasures, rare stones and other products. When we returned to our original route, twenty-three countries also sent missions to establish diplomatic relations with us in Dajing. And that one was Missionaries from Fika Country, etc..."
Zheng Hui spoke like a treasure trove of family treasures, talking about the country of Fika, with a somewhat ashamed expression on his face: "I am ashamed to say it, Sir, we had an irreconcilable conflict with Fika. Back then..."
After Zheng Hui told what happened in Fika in detail, Fang Zhengyi waved his hand casually: "This matter is nothing, we will talk about it later. But these missionaries and craftsmen are very valuable, and you have done a good job in this regard. Bring me the chart, and bring the missionary for me to see."
"Brother, I'll go." Lai Gou'er said and walked towards the ship.
Not long after, he brought back a box and a foreigner who looked like he was wearing a priest's uniform. He was holding a book and looking around cautiously.
The foreigner's face is full of beards. The beard looks like it has not been trimmed for a long time. He looks like he is in his forties, but his clothes are clean and tidy.
Lai Gou'er introduced: "Brother, this person is the leader of the missionaries. He has the highest status. His name is Father Solje."
Fang Zheng leaned back on the chair, with a lazy smile on his lips, and waved his right hand to the priest: "Hello, priest."
Father Solje stared at Fang Zhengyi and said, "Hello, what should I call you?"
Lai Gouer hurriedly explained: "Father Soljie is very smart. He has mastered Dajing's language in half a year."
After hearing this, Fang Zheng looked at the priest with a bit of disgust in his eyes.
Grass! Everyone is a language genius, right? !
Fang Zhengyi stood up, opened his arms and introduced: "Well, I am Zhengyi, you can just call me Mr. Fang. On behalf of the imperial court, I today welcome you to the most powerful country in the Far East, the birthplace of science, the ancient civilization, the Dajing Dynasty! "
The historian was a little excited when he heard it, and he wrote like a wind.
Mr. Fang didn't say anything else, but his words were very strong!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, Father Solje frowned: "Since Mr. Fang can represent the court, did you know that your Dajing fleet openly insulted the church in Feka? I learned from your words I have heard about it. And there are many Dajing crew members who do not give us due respect and make fun of our faith! You are blatantly declaring war on Fekar and the Pope!"
Unexpectedly, the foreign monk is really brave!
Fang Zheng shrugged and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm really sorry for what happened, but we are all reasonable people. I wonder what kind of compensation the priest wants?"
Seeing that Fang Zhengyi was so easy to talk to, Soljie's expression softened slightly: "Master Fang is indeed reasonable. I thought about it on the boat. Two completely different civilizations will definitely conflict when they come together. Some things are excusable. God will forgive you, but We were mistreated on the ship, and I hope that as compensation, Master Fang can help us when we are missionary in Dajing."
"If we can't successfully preach, I hope Lord Fang can send a ship to take us home."
Ah? The foreign devil's thoughts were pretty good, and a hint of disdain appeared in the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth.
"Then...what if I neither let you preach nor let you go home?"
Father Solje was very displeased and said sternly: "The justice will definitely judge you!"
Kneel your nose and hit your face!
The smile on Fang Zhengyi's face suddenly disappeared, he went up and grabbed the priest's collar, and said coldly: "Since you can understand what I am saying, why are you so expressionless? Justice will judge me."
The historian looked solemn and carefully recorded the first confrontation between the court and the church in the history of Dajing!
Fang Zheng grabbed Father Solje by his collar, pointed at his nose, and said in a stern tone: "I tell you! Not only will justice be late, it will also be fucking absent! Remember, we have a great scene here!... .Hey, don’t remember this sentence!”
...
