Chapter 224: His Royal Highness King Liao is a real immortal character(1/2)
The ministers could see clearly that they knew that Wang Chuanqi would be famous in history in the future, at least more famous than others, and those who looked down upon him suddenly stopped.
But Wang Chuanqi himself did not feel so conscious.
Seeing His Highness the King of Liao come to the port to greet him in person, he was also frightened and immediately climbed down from the ship, then bowed to His Highness, and said with a panic expression:
"Your Highness, why did you come here to greet me in person? It's really a last resort!"
Zhu Qi naturally wouldn't take these polite words to heart. He smiled and grabbed Wang Chuanqi's hand and walked backwards, saying as he walked:
"With your merits, it is worth it for me to welcome you personally. �
Zhu Qi was naturally very interested in what Wang Legend had seen and heard on the American continent, and his experiences.
What Wang Xuanqi likes the most is to talk to others about his experience on the American continent.
When the two of them were having sex, it was just the time when they were about to chat.
After returning to the mansion, Zhu Qi asked the servants next to him to leave, leaving only a historian to record what Wang Xuanqi said.
Then it sounded, his story.
This time I went to America, I naturally took the previous route. In terms of current technology, I can only follow the coast and cross the Bering Strait to have hope of reaching the American continent.
After having the experience of going to the American continent last time, Wang Chuanqi also roughly knew when it was the most suitable time to cross the Bering Strait.
When autumn just came to the end of last year, I took my fleet from the strait to touch the ice cap and headed towards the American continent.
And on the way there, the Jurchen tribes were naturally very welcome.
How dare they not welcome it?
Now the power of the Ming Dynasty has become increasingly expanding, Liaodong has been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Goryeo Peninsula is now in chaos.
And a force that gradually rose up was the puppet supported by the Ming Dynasty.
As the Jurchen clan who is closest to Goryeo, if you want to live a more nourishing life in the future, it is hard to say that the Ming Dynasty's expression is.
What's more, the relationship between the Jurchens and the current Northern Yuan Dynasty was quite tense, and the Ming Dynasty and Northern Yuan Dynasty were mortal enemies.
The enemy's enemy is a friend, and they understand it, so they are naturally quite close to the Ming Dynasty now.
Although Zhu Qi knew history, he was very afraid of the Jurchen clan.
If possible, I still hope to completely solve the disaster of the Jurchens and the adverse effects that may be caused in the future.
Unfortunately, his current sphere of influence cannot reach the Jurchen side, and the fleet that is now heading to the American continent depends on the Jurchen side to provide supplies.
However, for the Jurchens, Zhu Qi had a complete set of methods waiting to arrange them.
This time, the number of people Wang Legend brought to the Americas expedition was far greater than before. He brought nearly 2,000 Ming soldiers, and nearly 10 warships.
Such a huge fleet is really crushing wherever it goes.
There is no need to say much about the indigenous tribes in the Americas, the so-called Indians. No matter how powerful the martial arts are, seeing that the Ming Dynasty's navy troops are well-equipped and numerous, they become hospitality one by one.
After all, people are different in this world, even if they have different languages, their nature of fear of death is the same. Seeking profit and avoiding harm is something that everyone will do. Otherwise, how could people survive until now?
Wang Chuanqi did not forget his mission. In addition to collecting customs and customs from all over the country, there were also special crops and some strange customs along the way.
It is to communicate effectively with the indigenous people, and the purpose of communication is naturally to hope that they will send envoys to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.
Zhu Qi's plan was naturally to reform and assimilate these indigenous tribes on the basis of the tribute states, including education, economy, culture and politics, etc. on the basis of the tribute states.
As the saying goes, tribute is an advanced form of alliance.
Once the status of these tribute countries is stable, they will naturally form an alliance with them that is both offensive and defensive.
Isn’t it a matter of merging into a country in the end?
Wang Chuanqi did this very well and did not disclose it at all. Even if it was there, it was just a matter of intimidation and fighting two battles.
In front of the terrifying navy of the Ming Dynasty, the indigenous people's combat power was really not enough.
Even some natives who were a little slapped and wanted to be hostile to the Ming Dynasty, they would move their heads in one or two days.
The Ming Dynasty naturally lost very few people. Except for the three people lost in the war, most of the rest were sick or other unexpected situations. In short, most of the soldiers brought them back intact.
This is of course also thanks to His Highness the King of Liao who asked them to bring more tea, because septicemia during long-distance sailing has always been one of the culprits of the sailors of the Great Age of Discovery, and Chinese tea can effectively prevent septicemia.
Of course, they didn’t understand the principles and prevention methods of septicemia when they talked to Wang Chuanqi, but they just need to remember to drink some tea every day.
Zhu Qi listened to Wang Chuanqi talking about tribal affairs, and inviting those tribal leaders was not a matter of spending more time.
Although everyone is not good at speaking, after several months of getting along, simple communication can still be done.
Wang Chuanqi also learned some simple Indian languages, but more of them were teaching Chinese to the local indigenous tribes.
Wang Chuanqi also received Confucian education. In his opinion, this is also a way of spreading Confucianism and educating the world. Naturally, he did a lot of effort.
With the efforts of Wang Chuanqi and others, there have been many smart natives, that is, Indians, who have learned some simple Chinese daily terms.
However, considering that Chinese is too difficult, it is obviously unrealistic to master the language art of Chinese in a few months.
Even if there is Wang Xuanqi, a native Chinese speaker, as the object of practice, it is impossible to chat and talk to them every day.
It will take at least two or three years to achieve barrier-free communication.
However, Zhu Qi has time now, not to mention that the work of the Great Navigation has only started with a beginning, so there is no need to be so rushing.
In addition to these stories along the way, the most important thing is that Wang Zhiqi brought back 20 leaders or spokespersons of indigenous tribes from the Americas.
Their purpose of coming to the Ming Dynasty was naturally to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Although they dressed very primitive and weird, the aesthetic view of being filled with feathers on their heads was naturally incomprehensible.
However, after Zhu Qi saw them, he felt a little intimate.
After all, I have watched so many movies about the wild Americas, introductions of Indians, etc. on TV. Now I suddenly see the real Indians appearing in front of me. It is naturally very friendly, and I feel that it is indescribable. I always feel that this time and space are really wonderful.
Wang Chuanqi naturally tried it, and wanted them to wear Han Chinese clothes, but this kind of attempt was mostly a failure.
Even the clothes they wear are not very neat in terms of regulations, but are a bit inappropriate.
Moreover, they prefer to pass on their traditional clothes, and Wang Chuanqi respects their wishes very much.
After all, His Highness the King of Liao has already said hello. Try to let them communicate with them in a peaceful way, and do not use barbaric and violent methods. Naturally, they will not fail to obey His Highness the King of Liao.
After listening to what Wang Chuanqi said, Zhu Qi quickly followed him to meet the Indian leaders and spokespersons.
The leaders and spokespersons of the Indians obviously knew that Liao King Zhu Qi was an amazing figure.
Although I didn't understand the specific position, I was also frightened when I saw the respectful expressions of the people next to me. Then, under the attention of other naval soldiers, they knelt down and shouted at His Highness the King of Liao in a strange accent.
"Foreign ministers have met His Highness the King of Liao."
What a weird guy, it's really unspeakable.
Zhu Qi also smiled in his heart, not taking it seriously. Obviously, these Ming soldiers trained these indigenous leaders and spokespersons very well.
I believe that when I sent it to Yingtian Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be disappointed.
In addition to these diplomatic matters, Wang Chuanqi also brought back some seeds that Zhu Qi called for.
For example, chili peppers are also a specialty of South American products.
However, the early primitive peppers still looked very strange, but at this time, the native Indians had actually begun to try to cultivate modern pepper varieties.
Moreover, the cultivation effect is very good. In the past, the Western world directly used the Age of Discovery to bring back the finished peppers, and then after some improvement, it became modern peppers.
So when Zhu Qi saw the peppers that Wang Xuanqi took out, they were not very different from what he had eaten now. There were red red peppers, which of course were very spicy, and there were green green peppers. This was mainly the color titsy, which was not very spicy as an auxiliary material.
There are also some strange fruits that cannot be called, but Zhu Qi did not dare to try them. After all, although Wang Chuanqi and the others ate more of these things on weekdays, they didn't dare to eat them before. If something goes wrong with eating, it would be bad.
These peppers are naturally good materials for the people to grow, and they are also something that the Ming King should do when enriched.
However, the most important thing for ordinary people now is to fill their stomachs. Compared with chili peppers, there are naturally more practical things to make sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes. After all, these are all staple foods that can fill their stomachs. Chili peppers are not staple foods, and they don’t taste full of hunger.
But I have nothing to do to grow a little, so I can cook it. The fried pork with peppers is really a very delicious dish.
Wang Chuanqi just came here by himself, and Wang Chuanqi's final destination was to go to Yingtian Prefecture to report to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so these foreign envoys came to pay tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was not the turn to pay tribute to Zhu Qi.
After Zhu Qi understood these situations and did not dare to neglect the situation at all after he welcomed Wang Xuanxi, in order to prevent the population from falling into reality.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Chuanqi continued to set sail and headed towards Yingtian Mansion.
Even if others talk about why Wang Zhuanqi came to the Liao King first, it can be said that he came here to make some supplies.
After all, the route to the American continent is so far away, and it has been more than a year since I went back and forth. If I didn’t have the supply in Liaodong and headed straight to Yingtian Prefecture, what if something happened? It would be reasonable and well-founded to tell it.
It is of course beneficial for Zhu Qi to be careful in his work. As he thought, there were these ministers in the court who could not stand the loneliness and thought about ways to cause trouble for Zhu Qi all day long. When they heard that Wang Chuanqi, the naval commander, actually went to His Highness the King of Liao first, and then to Yingtian Mansion.
I started to make a fuss at that time.
Ah, what does your king legend mean? He used to be the subordinate of His Highness the King of Liao, so he didn't take the emperor seriously? Your trip to America was the order of His Majesty the Emperor. He didn't go to see the Emperor first and met the King of Liao. This is obviously antonym. Could the King of Liao want to be the emperor himself?
If it is replaced by another dynasty, it will naturally lead to big problems.
There is naturally no trust between the emperor and the prince, and there is no father-son relationship between the struggle for power and profit. If such a thing happens, it is really a life-and-death battle, but it is very different in the Ming Dynasty. What is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty?
That is, the father is kind and the son is loving, and the brother is kind and respectful.
Of course, I won’t talk about the relationship between my uncle and my nephew, and I have always been very nervous.
