Can you live forever

Chapter 235 Xiluo League, the Snake Orders the Zodiac

At the time when the monarch and ministers of the capital were opposed, and Nanjing supported Jianzhou to raise tigers.

A fleet has braved the wind and waves, bypassed the Cape of Big Waves (Cape of Good Hope), went northward in the Atlantic Ocean, and entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Bald Strait.

The tens of thousands of tons of battleship Hongxi couldn't enter the Mediterranean Sea by taking the Nile River in Meniande. Although it took a detour, it didn't waste time because the fleet was fast enough.

This is a fleet of more than 20 warships, all of which are steel warships and powered by steam.

In this era when sea ships of tens of tons were common in Xi Luozhou, and two hundred tons could be considered a big ship, such a fleet appeared in the Mediterranean Sea, and any port it passed through would welcome countless people prostrating and kneeling. Be loyal.

There is truth within the range of the cannon.

The fleet did not stop at Fulangcha, but sent Catherine to Venice, where the Governor of Venice personally picked her up. When Xu Hai's eldest son, Xu Ming, set foot on the Venetian port, Governor Dandolo leaned over and kissed Xu Ming's boots, Show respect.

Xu Ming inherited Xu Hai's strengths.

The young man is tall and straight, six feet tall, with a burly frame. He looks like a general, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, like a noble in the sky. Of course, more majesty is brought by the giant steel ship behind him.

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness."

The welcoming queue at the port began to perform, those who sprinkled flowers, those who danced, those who played and played. In the eyes of the Xiluo people, Xu Hai is the emperor of the sea, and Xu Ming is naturally the prince.

Although people in Daming usually call him "Four Lords", people in Xiluo don't think it's respectful enough.

It is mostly called "Sea Emperor".

Dandolo stood up and asked obsequiously, "His Royal Highness, is His Majesty the Sea Emperor in good health?"

"My father is fine."

Xu Ming replied indifferently, glanced around, and asked, "Did the Medicis come?"

Dandolo replied: "Cosimo is now the head of the Medici family. He is going to the Holy Roman Empire to seek the support of Charles V, hoping that Charles can recognize his ruling position in Florence."

"but."

"Since Catherine has received the support of His Majesty the Sea Emperor, Medici no longer needs the approval of Charles V."

The strength of the Xu family is not only the fleet, but also their cooperation with the Habsburgs. Now in Xiluo Continent, the Habsburgs have absolute hegemony.

And Charles V, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the head of the Habsburg family, and the most prominent figure in Ciro.

In front of the Xu family, you have to bow your head.

"Charles V?"

"Tell Charlie, I will wait for him in Venice, let him come to see me, let the king of Fulangcha come, and the Pope, who is the Pope now?"

Xu Ming ordered calmly, but no one thought it was wrong.

Dandolo replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the current Pope is Paul III, but now the Protestant Church and the Holy See are at war, and the two sides are now at a stalemate. Martin Luther's influence is also quite large."

"Then let Martin Luther come too."

Xu Ming glanced at everyone, and said, "Da Ming has already stepped in to support Shangzhou. The plague may be resolved soon. If you want to conquer Shangzhou, you must do so as soon as possible, understand?"

"The whole of Xi Luo Continent must gather, take a boat, and go to the other side of the sea."

"Kill Maya, kill Aztec."

"Only in this way can you get the vast and fertile land and the innumerable gold and silver. Otherwise, wait for the Yindi'an people to unite and develop."

"You said, will they take revenge, and will they also drive warships to Xiluozhou?"

Dan Duolo understood the point, but he flattered him and said, "Even if the Yindi'an people are united, their warships will not be able to sail, and His Majesty the Sea Emperor will not allow them to go to sea."

Xu Ming turned around, looked at Dandolo and said, "No, you are wrong."

"No throne is everlasting. Our Xu family is also fighting, with the Ming court and the Wang family. No one can guarantee eternal victory. Our Xu family also needs to prepare a way out."

"Conquer Shangzhou."

"Xilozhou is not deep enough. You have to consider what the world will look like when Zheng He's fleet sets sail again."

Dandolo's pupils constricted suddenly.

As the Governor of Venice, he certainly knew the history of that year. Now that Xu Ming came with the giant steel ship, he was really shocked, but it was still much worse than the first time he saw the fleet.

It was like savages who walked into the city. They saw for the first time what civilization is.

……

Under the pressure of Ming Dynasty, Venice held the first league meeting in Xiluozhou.

The Doge's Palace in Venice was finally cleaned up. In order to welcome the distinguished guests, Dandolo finally had people clean up the excrement and garbage in the Doge's Palace.

Even if people don't wear high heels, they don't have to worry about stepping on shit.

Dandolo specially built toilets and arranged for inspectors. Anyone who dared to defecate anywhere would be whipped.

François I, the King of França, who was used to excrement all over the floor in the Louvre, also had a deep understanding of what civilization is. They took a rare bath, put on clean clothes, and attended the meeting decently.

Catherine's husband, Prince Henry, was also there.

Her doctor was right, the power of the Medici is the best medicine, and Henry cared for her very much, because he heard the gossip that Catherine seemed to be the mistress of the Sea Emperor...

Henry is not ashamed at all, but proud, and takes good care of her.

At the banquet, when Selim saw this scene, he put his arms around the maid and made a mockery. The woman was played by Xu Hai. ?
Laughed at by Selim, Henry demanded a duel.

The banquet suddenly became lively.

But with the arrival of Charles V, everything quieted down again. When the Habsian Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire appeared on the stage with a cane, everyone at the banquet obviously felt a little bit of oppression.

Only Xu Ming stood proudly, looking down at Charles V from above.

Charles V lost his majesty, made a gentleman's salute in front of Xu Ming, and greeted him: "Gui'an, Your Royal Highness."

"Your safety, Charlie."

Charles V, who ruled most of the West Luozhou, has arrived, and the royal family of Fulangcha has also arrived. Selim, the representative of the Ottoman Empire, the overlord in the east of the West Luozhou, is also there. Pope Paul III and Cosimo de Medici Also hand in hand.

In this meeting, there is only one person left.

Martin Luther.

When this "heretic" came out with the Bible in his hand, people found that there was also a black jade token on the Bible, and a...snake was engraved on the token.

Si snake order.

Whether Xu Ming, Charles V, or members of the Medici family, when they saw that token, they immediately understood that Martin Luther had obtained the token of the zodiac and became a member of the fellow boat club.

　Thanks to "Feng Ge" for the 100 starting point reward.
