Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 201: The Ottomans paid compensation and compensated people, Zhu Xijun came to Byzantium!
Zhu Xi did not look back.

Not even a hum.

Ignore these envoys like Russell at all.

Under the artillery fire, even though this was Ottoman territory and the sea was very close to the capital, Russell and others did not dare to show their anger...

no way!
This artillery is too powerful.

It is simply not something humans can resist!
Tie Yiyang's city walls were all turned into powder under such artillery fire.

What's more, it's flesh and blood?
Russell could only bite the bullet and pay homage again.

"okay!"

Luo Hang stood up.

He was surrounded by translators, and he was quite talented in languages, otherwise he would not have become the number one maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty!Luo Hang spoke fluent Persian and said coldly: "Your Sultan actually dares to neglect our King of Qin, so His Highness the King of Qin is very dissatisfied. This time is just a slight punishment for you. Now you know what to do." ?”

"Know!"

Russell nodded quickly.

It would be nice to have someone who can talk and talk to them.

Otherwise, things will only get worse.

Once there is no room for maneuver, it will be a disaster.

The current Sudan is still in Edirne!

What if the cannon is fired and the Sultan is killed?
"We have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is that if you don't eat a toast, you will have to drink a fine drink! Before, I went to your Sultan to ask you to have a toast, but your Sultan didn't eat it! So, now I can only drink a fine drink. .”

Luo Hang said solemnly: "Now, King Qin has two demands. First, before sunset tomorrow, three thousand beautiful girls must be sent over; second, you must compensate 20 taels of gold to calm His Highness the King of Qin; third, you must Send an envoy to Byzantium to congratulate the Queen on her enthronement. If you fail to do any of these three points, your capital will turn into a sea of ​​fire and purgatory, and God will not be able to save you. This is what His Highness King Qin of our Great Tomorrow Dynasty said!"

"Three...30 taels of gold?"

Russell was going to cry.

He didn't dare agree!
Luo Hang sneered and said, "You can send someone back to ask your Sultan for instructions and see if he agrees."

"Okay!" Russell quickly sent someone to take a boat back to ask for instructions.

Three thousand girls, there’s nothing they can’t agree to.

Russell can make the decision himself.

I just don’t know why the Ming Dynasty wanted so many women.

But it doesn't matter.

The current situation is that man is the knife and I am the fish.

Can only endure.

But the compensation of 30 taels of gold is a bit ruthless!
This much money is enough for the empire to launch another full-scale attack on Byzantium!

If you let it go, your vitality will definitely be damaged.

So, go ask for instructions.

In the palace, Murad I saw people who came to report in a panic.

"Sultan, the King of Qin from the Ming Dynasty did come, but he didn't say a word. Mr. Luo Hang put forward three conditions, asking for three thousand beautiful girls..."

"Give it!"

Murad immediately agreed and said: "Where is the consul? Immediately collect three thousand girls and screen them strictly. Don't accept those who are sick or disabled, don't want those who smell bad, and don't want those who are not beautiful. I gave him three thousand girls. , I hope he can treat us well."

no way.

Murad had been frightened by the cannon.

"Also, I want 30 taels of gold, and then send an envoy to Byzantium to congratulate the empress on her coronation..." The visitor continued to report.

"what?"

Murad slumped down on the throne and murmured: "30 taels of gold... This, this is too much. Where can I compensate them with 30 taels of gold? Now in the treasury, there is only less than 20 taels of gold."

People around him didn't dare to speak out.

It was Murad's younger brother who stood up. He loudly said to Murad: "Sultan, for the sake of the empire, this money must be given. Please give me a day, and I will definitely collect 20 taels before tomorrow night." Gold is back!”

"What can you do? Harry." Murad asked.

Harry said solemnly: "Now, we can only take our troops and go to various places to conquer. There must be a lot of gold in the homes of those governors and landowners. For the sake of the empire, we can only get it from them!"

"If you do this, there will be chaos in the country!" Murad immediately objected.

Harry said: "Civil strife can be suppressed, but this artillery can't fight at all! Sultan, for the sake of the empire, a decision must be made."

"Ugh!"

Murad let out a long sigh, his face looked extremely tired, and he was full of regrets. He blamed himself: "If I had known better, I should have agreed to Mr. Luo Hang's request... This Andronika actually caused us to become like this." look!"

Originally, the Ottoman Empire, which was located at the junction of Asia and Europe, was going to destroy Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire, and then be strong for hundreds of years. However, it was forced to this point because it was unwilling to hand over one person and then angered another person.

This is Daming!
This is King Qin Zhu Cang!

In one day, Murad tried his best to fulfill the three conditions proposed by Luo Hang.

All three thousand beautiful women were arranged on the ships of the fleet and placed separately.

Then, the fleet set off and sailed away on the sea.

But what happened in the Ottoman Empire was also heard in the surrounding areas.

It even spread to places like the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of France, and the Kingdom of England.

With just one fleet, the powerful Ottoman Empire could be bullied like this.

Zhu Ping's reputation spread to the West!

The Byzantine Empire, whose territory was surrounded by the Ottomans, was the quickest to get the news.

The ministers were very happy, and immediately told John V the good news.

Sophia was with John V at that time.

After hearing the news, he couldn't believe it and asked: "How could such a powerful Osman be taught a lesson so easily? Did you... make a mistake?"

"It is absolutely true, my lord!"

The minister reported: "The Ottoman Empire compensated His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty for three thousand girls. Moreover, Sultan Murad of the Ottoman Empire also ordered that all girls must be strictly screened. They must not have scars, odors, diseases or disabilities on their bodies, and they must even be beautiful and sweet. He just wanted to win the favor of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, he also compensated King Qin with 30 taels of gold. To this end, Murad's younger brother Harry led the army to search the governor's mansions in various places. Osman also announced that he would send envoys Mission, come to our Byzantium to watch the ceremony, congratulations... Congratulations to the princess on her upcoming enthronement ceremony!"

"You step back!"

John V waved his hand, and then waited until he and his daughter were standing in the main hall, then he took Sophia's hand and said: "My daughter, my favorite child, you really gave it to your father and your people. , I have found a strong support! However, he is too powerful, and I am worried that we will be swallowed up by him soon in the future... Although, I don't care about this, but... I hope that this day will not come too soon. !”

"Father, do we want the entire country, including those children, to continue to live under the shadow of war?" Sophia asked in return.John V was silent.

Two days later, Zhu Xi's fleet arrived at the Byzantine port.

However, the port here has been completely destroyed by several wars.

How to get to the port without a port?
Zhu Xi, who came to Byzantium for the first time, attracted the attention of almost all Byzantines.

Even John V was carried to the port to greet Zhu Ping in person.

Sophia was even more excited and took the boat to see Zhu Ming first.

As soon as they met, she fell into Zhu Ping's arms.

Then, she also saw many Ottoman girls on the ship at this time, some with blond hair and some with black hair, all tall and wearing uniforms, standing respectfully beside them.

Sophia ignored these people and lay in Zhu Xi's arms, saying, "Your Highness, I have missed you so much during this time. Do you miss me?"

"Think about it."

Zhu Xi's response made her feel like she had fallen into a honey cellar.

After the tenderness, Sophia was satisfied.

Only then did she remember that the port could not be used, so she said to Zhu Xi: "I'm sorry, my love, my country is full of ruins and dilapidated buildings."

"fine."

Zhu Xi smiled, hugged Sophia and said, "Have you forgotten my skills? What I am best at is construction. I have ordered the craftsmen on the ship to take a small boat and bring cement to repair the port. At most The port will be repaired in two or seven days. Luo Hang has already landed, go and tell your father that I will officially land ashore in seven days!"

"Then I will stay with you here, and you are not allowed to find anyone else during these seven days." Sophia said pointedly.

Zhu Xi laughed, naturally satisfying her.

There was no port, so Zhu Xi built a temporary one.

The craftsmen are very fast.

The cement was laid in two days!

Seven days later, when John V brought his people to the port again, they found that the place had a completely new look, even more complete and perfect than the previous port.

The red carpet has been rolled out.

Then, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, who was attracting much attention, held the hand of the future Queen of Byzantium on the docked ship and stepped off the steel drive step by step.

The common people were amazed at the professionalism and speed of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. They were even more amazed at the tall and majestic steel engines of the Ming Dynasty. They were also amazed at the grand pomp of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty...

Soon, the people broke out into very warm cheers!
King Qin's personal guards came ashore first, and then lined up on both sides. Many others came to guard in front of the crowd. The look on everyone's face was meticulous, tense and focused, solemn and solemn.

The moment Zhu Xi left the ship and set foot on Byzantine land, the emotions of the Byzantine people reached their peak, and they even worshiped Zhu Xi crazily.

John V stood up tremblingly. He held his scepter tightly and straightened the crown with one hand. He looked at the young people walking towards him, but he did not dare to take a step forward. Stepping down the stairs in front of him, with the support of the minister, he stood opposite the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, looking at each other equally. Then he laughed, handed the scepter to Sophia, opened his arms to Zhu Cang and hugged her. He went up and said: "Welcome to you, Your Highness King Qin, and welcome to you, my future child!"

"Thank you."

Zhu Xi hugged the old man and said with a smile: "In our Ming Dynasty, I should call you father-in-law."

"Oh? I like this title very much. You can call it like this from now on! After Sophia officially ascends the throne, I will hold a wedding for you. At that time, the entire Byzantium will be handed over to you, my child... I hope you can treat me well. My country." Without waiting for Zhu Ping to speak, John V took the initiative to give the entire country to Zhu Ping.

How could Zhu Xi be polite about such a thing?

Otherwise, what was the purpose of bombarding Osman with the Sun Moon No. [-] shell that wasted millions of silver before?
Is it really just for Luo Hang?
nonexistent.

What Zhu Fang wanted was to shock everyone.

Including the Byzantine side!

Only by letting them see how powerful Zhu Xi really is, will they surrender willingly.

Clearly, John V was sensible.

He doesn't understand and can't help it.

Now, Zhu Xi came to Byzantium.

His soldiers, armed with steel guns, also took over the surrounding defenses.

In the future, John V will also marry the future empress to him as his wife.

Not yet the eldest wife.

Now there is only Byzantium in Constantinople left, and without Zhu Ping, how will it survive?
It is better to give it to your son-in-law than to be occupied by the Ottomans and completely destroy the country.

"The Byzantine Empire is Roman orthodoxy, more orthodox than the Holy Roman Empire! If you marry Sophia and get my empire, then you can rule the entire Western countries according to legal principles."

John V made it clear directly: "My child, I have given you such a great gift. Can you protect my kingdom and my daughter?"

"No problem at all, father-in-law!"

Zhu Xi smiled.

This is what he wants.

The purpose is very easy and all achieved.

"Then I'll be relieved." John V nodded.

Then, he fell straight backwards.

Fortunately, Zhu Xi's hands were quick and he was able to hold him.

"Sorry, my boy, I don't think my body can take it any longer."

John V leaned against Zhu Ming and said weakly: "That beast was born by me, but he put me under house arrest and tortured my body... I think I may be about to die."

"No! Your Highness, please save my father!" Sophia cried and supported John V, pleading with Zhu Ming.

"Don't worry, I will save him."

Zhu Xi said: "Don't get excited, don't shed tears, don't let your people see it, let's go back to the palace first. Luo Hang, arrange for the doctor to enter the palace immediately. In addition, bring Andronika to the palace He is being held until further notice."

Luo Hang nodded and went to do things.

After a day and night of rescue, John V regained his sobriety.

Also regained some energy.

He took Zhu Ming's hand and said, "Thank you for saving me...Who is outside the door?"

"Andronikos, the son who betrayed you." Zhu Ping responded.

"This devil!"

John V immediately stood up with excitement.

It can be seen that he is very angry!
