I am the king of the dead

Chapter 962 City of Liberty - Freetown

Tang Xing figured out who the Taixi man in front of him was. He was a Gothic man from the Kingdom of Portugal. His name was Pedra Sinde. He was a businessman and navigator. The purpose of his coming to Shishan was to Capture the local aborigines and send them to Freetown, the city of freedom.

Lion Mountain is the place where Tang Xing is stationed and moored. Looking at the mountains along the coast, it looks like a lion, so it got its name.

Tang Xing has read a lot of books, he is even proficient in Latin, and has an authentic Junbao accent, but he never considers himself a scholar, so the way of naming along the way is to follow the vulgar.

The mountains here look like lions, so they are named Lion Mountain; when the fleet is moored, they see an elephant, and they name it Junxiang Bay; It is suitable for stationing troops here, so it is obviously Lijiatun.

Tang Xing didn't take it seriously, because the nomenclature of Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, was the same as Tang Xing's. For example, if the compass points to the true north, it is called Luojing Zhengfeng;

"Your Excellency, please let me go. My family will pay for me. I swear by my family's honor." When Pedra talked about his family, he held his head high and proud.

The Sinde family also followed Alfonso VII and took down the country of Portugal. If the Roman nobleman in front of him is willing to let him go back, he can pay the corresponding reward.

Tang Xing smiled and said: "Actually, as you can see, I am far richer than you. We are not pirates. The conflict between us is just a misunderstanding."

Pedra's capture was a complete misunderstanding.

A group of natives attacked the Daming Navy as usual, and the Daming Navy repelled the enemy effortlessly as usual, and then Pedra's slave hunting group hoped to buy indigenous slaves from the Daming Navy, because there were no passers-by For this reason, the Daming Navy captured all the opponents.

In addition to winning the Hundred Years' War, the well-known French king Charles VII also enacted tax laws, established the French army, and regained lost ground for Joan of Arc, who supported him as King of France.

When the captive Pepedra said this, he gloated for a while, because the Duke of Burgundy still has inextricable ties with Portugal.

The footsteps of the Daming Navy are extremely firm, step by step towards their goal - the city lord's mansion, but in fact, apart from firing cannons, the soldiers of the Daming Navy don't make many shots, but whenever there is an enemy Take the lead, and the ashigaru will rush up, hacking each other to death in groups of three or four.

"Besides, the captive Pedra said that I am a Roman nobleman, so wouldn't it be reasonable for the Roman noblemen to recover some lost land?"

"Well, we are clean, and those who do bad things are meat eaters riding on them?" Tang Xing asked after thinking for a moment.

It is difficult for Ming people to understand why the Holy See has such influence in Taixi, and they also understand the relationship between the Holy See and society. In the eyes of Tang Xing and Kuai Lin, this is like the celestial master of Longhushan sitting on the Fengtian Temple and holding the divine weapon , and civil and military officials wearing Taoist robes, how ridiculous it is.

It has been too long since the Central Plains completed Jedi Heavenly Communication, so long that people take it for granted, and so long that most people have forgotten the myth of Jedi Heavenly Communication.

Tang Xing shook his head and said, "I drink water."

Tang Xing raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "It's really shameless, but the imperial power chartered it."

The ashigaru of the Japanese country are extremely proud, and they fight desperately, because behind them is the artillery fire all over the sky, and the unrivaled Ming army. The ashigaru know that they will win. , is enough for them to live comfortably for a lifetime.

The captive Pedra watched in horror as all the Daming sailors put on their visors. The gleaming Mingguang armor was particularly dazzling under the scorching sun of the equator. They were fully armed. In addition to being equipped with long and short guns, they also carried tall Hook sickle, every three people have a regular hexagonal swarm, standing in the cabin waiting for orders.

Kuai Lin's fingers kept counting quickly, and then he said: "Should we let the captive Pedra communicate with the King of Portugal with our goodwill?"

For example, the Hundred Years' War between France and England came to an end, ending with French independence, and Charles VII, who won this victory, died of illness last year, passing the throne to the makeshift Louis XII.

Tang Xing said to Kuai Lin again: "Don't worry, I don't plan to continue exploring westward for the time being. The Atlantic Ocean is high and the waves are rough, and the sailor needs to observe the hydrology. I will stay here for at least half a year, waiting for the support of the Ming Dynasty's armed merchant ships. "

"How to move?" Tang Xing asked curiously.

Tang Xing asked someone to bring fine wine, and began to inquire about Taixi, which was an extremely unfamiliar area to Daming.

And Liberty City will become a gateway to prevent Taixi from plundering wealth. There are a large number of islands from Liberty City to England. With Liberty City as the core, these islands will become the chains that block the entire Taixi.

The captive Pedra, when he talked about this, was full of sorrow, drank three glasses of strong wine, and lamented that Tessie had lost Constantinople forever.

The captive Pedra was stunned, the Roman navy was so tyrannical, and even attacked!
With the waving of the tooth flag, the sound of artillery fire roared out, and the flowering bullets crossed the arc, landed on the city walls and gates, and exploded, while the Japanese ashigaru were wearing leather armor and waving loudly With the scimitar and spear in his hand, he rushed to the trestle bridge in the harbor, followed by the Daming navy.

Kuai Lin immediately said: "Pick up from the inside out."

In Daming, a gentleman can be deceived by his methods.

Kuai Lin nodded and said: "Well, that's right, the general idea is this, we also have successful experience in the Wa country."

The captive Pedra also heard that Ivan III, who had high hopes, had returned to Moscow and inherited the Duchy of Moscow.

For example, the German-dominated Teutonic Knights are engaged in a protracted war with the Kingdom of Poland. This war has been going on for nine years, but the combat power of the Teutonic Knights has declined seriously. They are not the opponents of the Kingdom of Poland. The Teutonic Knights The regiment is under the pressure of the front line, can only tax the civilians and recruit the army, and has fallen into an absolute disadvantage.

"Fight it, you will be the lord of Liberty City. After returning to Beijing, I will invite you to be the overseas governor." Tang Xing put away the parchment, walked out of the camp, and opened the sea with the same color of sea and sky, letting the sea breeze blow. He enjoyed Freedom, this city of freedom fits his tone very well.

But the newly succeeded Louis XII has many opponents, because Louis XII participated in rebellion when he was still a prince, and finally Charles VII pardoned him and passed the throne to Louis XII, so everyone Everyone called him a rebellious Louis, and the public welfare alliance headed by the Duke of Burgundy was the confidant of Louis XII.

Kuai Lin made some calculations and said, "Well, that's indeed the case."

When I couldn't find an exact adjective to describe it, it seemed very appropriate to describe it as a scholar. If the bad intestines in their stomachs were not in the territory of Daming, they would be perfect.

Kuai Lin handed the inscription in his hand to Tang Xing, and said quite accurately: "Nicolaoz did not deceive His Majesty, Rome's claims are much greater than we imagined, if we really want to discuss it in detail , the whole of Tessi, is under the claim of Rome."

"Are you a scholar too?" Tang Xing immediately asked in surprise.

Dante, the Italian poet, the pioneer of the Western Renaissance, and the author of "The Divine Comedy" and "On World Empire", also thinks so.

Kuai Lin nodded and said, "Is this reasonable? It is indeed very reasonable."

The captive Pedra never imagined what kind of existence he brought into the city of freedom. Kuai Lin was later called the Taixi master, which was a more terrifying nightmare than Ivan III in the east.

Captive Pedra is a nobleman who knows how to use intrigue.

When the captive Pedra said this, he shook his head again and again. The Teutonic Knights with the red cross sword cloak and the black cross medal turned out to be the knights of the Holy See. They had a great reputation in the Crusades, but the Teutonic Knights Because of the corruption of faith, the regiment has fallen to the point of bowing to the Kingdom of Poland.

Tang Xing held a pair of parchment charts in his hand. This kind of chart was extremely crude and difficult to read. However, Tang Xing, who had rich experience in sailing, could still use the chart contributed by the captive Pedra, Find the location of Freetown, the free city.

The teacher of the king, the teacher is famous, and the justice lies in himself when he fights against the rebels and evil.

"Da Ming needs talents, and even more geniuses. For example, the captive Pedra said that in Florence, there was a genius who painted eggs called Leonardo da Vinci. We can capture him... and send him to Daming to bathe in the emperor's grace and accept Better education."

A series of cannons and tiger squat guns were pushed out and aimed at many guards on the port. The guns on the three-masted ship had already been loaded with gunpowder, and the torches illuminated the eyes of the artillerymen. In their eyes, only the city Door.

Freetown, the city of freedom, will be the key cylinder of this chain.

Tang Xing and the others looked extraordinarily kind, and they entertained him with fine wine. They were indeed powerful and invincible, but their tricks and tricks, the sharp knives handed out from the shadows, could also hurt these seemingly invincible knights.

At dusk, the free city of Freetown has been completely occupied by the Ming army. The nearby Portuguese colony is the next target of the Ming navy.

Kuai Lin said quite confidently: "The king of France is Louis XII. He was called a rebel because he rebelled against his father. Now there are many people who are rebelling against him. That public welfare alliance is of substantial importance to Louis XII. The Teutonic Knights also seem to need help, which will help our activities in Taixi."

Tang Xing took the prisoner Pedra to the bay outside the city of freedom. Because of the token of the prisoner Pedra, the city of freedom opened the chains that blocked the harbor.

Kuai Lin made some calculations again, and understood the logic of the robbers. Only then did he understand why His Majesty wanted Princess Naelena to enter the palace back then. Daming had to do things without a reason.

"The last general obeys the order!" The official school received the fire card, took the order without stopping for a moment, and went south.

Tang Xing pointed to the location of Liberty City quite accurately, and said with a smile: "We want to have a place where we can attack and retreat at the gate of Taixi. This City of Liberty is the most suitable place, what do you think?"

For example, the brave Count Dracula led 2000 people to Constantinople to rebuild Rome, but was ruthlessly defeated by Fatih of the Ottoman Kingdom. Count Dracula and his two thousand warriors were defeated by Fatih. Burned at the stake in the Wall of Sighs in King's Castle.

Standing behind Tang Xing, Kuai Lin said hesitantly, "Isn't it a bit shameless for us to attack a city that didn't offend us for no reason?"

After docking at the port, the captive Pedra was still thinking about whether to attack the Ming Dynasty Ocean Fleet, that is, the vats of fine wine can be exchanged for a lot of fiefdom in Taixi, and if those armors are added, Pedra has even Dreaming, becoming the Grand Duke, the day when the Principality is established.

Nobility is the epitaph of the noble, meanness is the passport of the mean.

In Dante's words, this is called secularization, and in the Central Plains, it is called Jedi Tiantong.

The establishment of the Kingdom of Portugal was a long-term struggle. During this process, the Holy See of the Roman Empire gave great help, and finally Alfonso VII was canonized as the King of Portugal, which confirmed the status of the Kingdom of Portugal.

"No wonder." Tang Xing suddenly realized, and then asked: "Tell me about the general direction of your efforts."

Kuai Lin was a little confused. When Tang Xing asked this question, he hadn't thought about it at all. He thought for a while and replied: "We came from afar, and it's unrealistic to take down Taixi. They can't be killed in 30 to [-] years, and they will run and resist."

Kuai Lin said with a smile: "No talent, it's just that he was born in Juren. He is considered a scholar. He was admitted to the Maritime Hall and became a boat master."

Tang Xing looked at the captains of the thirteen ships, pointed to one of them and said, "Yang Cheng, I order you to go to Manbasa immediately, and when you meet the Daming ships, let them send the news back to the country. Let the armed merchant ships of Ming Dynasty come to help defend, they will definitely come, compared with the poor ghosts in the West, Taixi is undoubtedly richer, and they never fall behind when it comes to robbery."

"The Holy See used to have three battalions." Tang Xing said with a smile, "There were none later, even the Holy See was divided into two. The Holy See of the Roman Empire is not in Rome, and the Holy See in Rome is not Zhengshuo. It’s a very interesting thing.”

In the eyes of the Daming Navy, the combat effectiveness of the Portuguese slave catchers was at the same level as that of the natives.

"However, according to the experience of the Japanese country, we let them deal with their own people, enslave themselves, and protect the interests of Daming. Daming needs a place to sell its products, and Daming needs women to get them from here. We grab them ourselves. There are not so many people, but they catch them themselves, so we don't have so much trouble, and we won't be judged morally."

"Goodwill?" Tang Xing said with some doubts: "We conquered Liberty City, an overseas colony of Portugal, where did we get goodwill?"

"Has Commander Tang drunk too much?" Kuai Lin asked Tang Xing uncertainly if he had drunk too much. He sorted out Pedra's words and needed to communicate with Tang Xing. The logbook was to be presented to His Majesty for a preview. Be precise.

In the City Lord's Mansion of Liberty City, Tang Xing was commanded by the Daming Fans, looking at the Kanyu map with a solemn expression.

In Tang Xing's eyes, it is only right and proper that human affairs should be managed by human beings.

Pedra drank too much, Tang Xing asked Tielin Jun to take him to rest, this nobleman from Portugal told a lot of messy news.

Tang Xing heard a lot of secrets.

Tang Xing said with a smile: "I now believe that you are a scholar."

Kuai Lin nodded and said: "It is our goodwill to send back the captive Pedra, and bring some [-] exquisite silver coins, saying that we have come from a long distance and lack a place to stay. To gain time."

"Commander Tang knows that the court has never been monolithic, so is the Kingdom of Portugal monolithic? We can send some smart people to lobby. Of course, we will never leave empty-handed and bring some Gifts show sincerity."

Tang Xing looked at Kuai Lin, and said with a complicated expression: "Picking up inside out, is this the beginning?"

"Military affairs are entrusted to the Sergeants of the Ming Dynasty. We scholars are better at these political and diplomatic matters." Kuai Lin nodded and admitted that he had already begun to pick and choose.
