Warring States Eagle

The winter sun sets gradually to the west, and the sea, which experienced a sea battle during the day, gradually calms down, leaving only the azure sea surface that seems to never fade. **

At this moment, a long table had been set up on the deck of Zhu Qinfeng's big ship.Several oil lamps were lit.

Yes, there will be a European-style dinner here.

Zhu Qinfeng sat at the side of the long table, his fiancée Lilu was on his right, and then another beautiful black-haired lady.On Zhu Qinfeng's left is Zheng Liang, and next to Zheng Liang is a burly white man, who seems to be about 27 years old.This white man was also acquainted with Zheng Liang shortly after boarding the ship, and his name was Ander Tanas von Habsburg.According to Ander's own introduction, he is a distant relative of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty.And the last one is a Ming businessman, Zuo Moyang.The age is very young, about 23 years old.I don't know how he met Zhu Qinfeng. Zheng Liang only knew about the food on this ship, many of which were supplemented by this businessman.

Speaking of which, the people on this ship can be described as a collection of multi-ethnic groups.Zhu Qinfeng is from Venice, Ander is from Spain, Zheng Liang is now a Japanese, and Zuo Moyang is from Ming.Fortunately, these people can speak Chinese, otherwise I really don't know how to communicate.

"Everyone, here's to our guests today." As the host, Zhu Qinfeng stood up first, and raised a glass full of light red wine to toast everyone.

The rest of the people also picked up their wine glasses and stood up, shook their hands and saluted the host, and then drank the wine in their hands in one gulp.

The toast is over.Dinner has officially started.

Several maids brought dishes and placed them on the long table one by one.Seeing such a move, Zheng Liang couldn't help being a little surprised.According to his understanding, European nobles in the Middle Ages were very particular about eating etiquette.In general.Before each course, guests are handed shallow water dishes and towels to wipe their hands.The feast is almost exclusively for men, and only the most distinguished guests can bring their relatives to attend, while the host's wife often hides aside to eat with the followers in order to maintain dignity and elegance.At this time, social classes were clearly defined and patriarchal supremacy also affected table manners.Younger generations should serve their elders, young people should serve their elders, and men should take care of women.In order not to stain women with dishes, men should avoid femininity when eating.

However, what Zheng Liang sees now is very different from what he knows, but this is a good thing for him. () After all, if he follows the etiquette he knows.It's too rigid when eating.

After the master and the guests started to eat, the attendants and subordinates around the deck also started to eat, including Liu Le, who was Zhengliang's retainer.It was also the first time for Liu Le to attend such a special dinner party at home, and he seemed very surprised.But there is one thing he is sure of, that is, as long as he stays by Zheng Liang's side.There will always be such new and bizarre things happening.

They toasted each other a few times again, and everyone's chatter began to rise.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, you are different from other guys." At this time, the owner Zhu Qinfeng said first. "Other guys always look honest on the surface, but they are very treacherous on the inside. But... you are very interesting."

Everyone stopped eating and looked at Zhu Qinfeng.Looking forward to his next article.

"You are a blunt treacherous guy," Zhu Qinfeng said finally.

"Hahaha" The people around burst into laughter.

"Look, that guy." Zhu Qinfeng said, pointing to Zuo Moyang who was seated at the bottom, "that guy is very smart. It's like that... the fox that Ming people call."

"Hahaha" This time even the servants not far away laughed.

Zheng Liang smiled to himself, although he was a little slanderous about Zhu Qinfeng's evaluation of himself just now, but he agreed with his evaluation of Zuo Moyang.After getting in touch with Zuo Moyang this afternoon, Zheng Liang discovered that this businessman from the Ming Dynasty was a slow-moving and thoughtful person. amazing.

"The little fox is such a cute little animal, how can you say that?" Lilu, the hostess, spoke at this time, and she wanted to defend the little fox's rights.In fact, Zheng Liang once thought that this was the legendary sea girl Lilu who appeared in later games.Because she is also Dutch, and she met Zhu Qinfeng in Amsterdam.However, the information that Zhengliang got about this beautiful woman is limited to this, so even now he can't judge that Lilu is Bililu.

As soon as Lilu's words came out, everyone laughed again.

"Speaking of which, Ming is also my hometown." Zhu Qinfeng started another topic after drinking two glasses of wine.Then he began to talk about his ancestors being the descendants of Emperor Jianwen. In order to avoid the capture of the Sanbao eunuch fleet, the family migrated several times in Europe, and then settled down in Venice.Then he began to tell the story of his sea adventures.

"Hmph, as long as I have enough people, I will definitely take down the Nanyang Governor's Mansion." When it comes to Nanyang, Zhu Qinfeng has always held a grudge because of the unfair treatment he received from the Spaniards in Nanyang, so he wanted to Prepared for revenge.He even said that after returning to Europe, he intends to borrow troops from Portugal, launch the third crusade, conquer Nanyang, and drive the Spaniards away.

Regarding Zhu Qinfeng's thoughts, Zheng Liang couldn't express his opinion. After all, Zheng Liang's current task is to take care of his one-acre three-point land before he can think about other things.

Just because Zheng Liang has no ideas, doesn't mean that others have no ideas.Seeing others belittle his country, Ander, who is a Spaniard, felt uncomfortable, and said with a sneer, "Your Excellency, don't underestimate the force of the Spaniards."

Ander was actually right.Now it is about to enter the age of great navigation. The Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and gradually rising Englishmen staged a battle at sea together.The Spaniards were the most powerful existence during this time period, and they were even called the "Invincible Fleet" for a period of time, which shows how powerful their sea power is.

"You poor damned nobleman, have you forgotten who kicked you out, and ended up relying on Angel to earn a living here?" Zhu Qinfeng was immediately dissatisfied when he saw that someone disagreed with his idea So, he cursed Ander with a half-joking smile.

As a distant relative of the Habsburg family, Ander no longer has the title of nobility on his body. Relying on his qualifications gained from joining the military in his early years, he served as the captain of the Spanish Musketeers.The military is meticulous.Later, he was transferred to the Spanish American colony, and had a fierce conflict with the colonial governor. After reading Marco Polo's travel notes, he decided to go to the East to seek gold. Because the Ming Dynasty closed the country and could not enter the Ming Dynasty, he happened to meet Zhu Qinfeng's ship in Macau, and his wife Angel Lilike was Lilu's playmate when she was a girl, so under the persuasion of his wife, he temporarily became the captain of the musketeers on Zhu Qinfeng's ship.In fact, as a man, he is still dissatisfied with his current situation, but a man can bend and stretch, and he has never expressed any dissatisfaction for his wife's food and clothing.

"I said, Ander! You don't know yet? Your Excellency Zhengliang has a large territory, and there is a lot of gold and silver there. Why don't you go to him to get a job?" Zhu Qinfeng continued jokingly.He and Ander are quite familiar, so such a joke can be made.

Zheng Liang couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words. What Zhu Qinfeng said about the territory was true, but where did he get a lot of gold?At least not for the time being. Of course, there are indeed 300 taels of gold in Wang Hai's ship below, which is true.

Compared to Zheng Liang who didn't care about it, Ander beside him was different.His eyes lit up, and he looked at Zheng Liang thoughtfully.

The dinner went well and everyone had a great time.Zheng Liang took the opportunity to invite everyone, especially Zhu Qinfeng, to visit the territory at the banquet.Zhu Qinfeng also readily agreed.At the same time, he also mysteriously asked Zheng Liang whether there are many beauties in his territory, preferably virgins.But before Zheng Liang returned, he was dragged back by Li Lu who was beside him, presumably he had to be taken care of by his family.I wonder if Zhu Qinfeng can still go to bed tonight?Zhengliang thought with an evil taste.

After the banquet, Zheng Liang watched the scenery alone on the deck.At this time, Liu Le had already returned to the small boat beside the big ship to report the news, and conveyed the news to the Zhengliang people there that the big ship would visit the Luo family's territory together with them.After all, with this large ship as escort, there will basically be no danger along the way, so everyone can sleep peacefully tonight.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, hello!" At this time, a blunt Chinese voice came from behind Zhengliang.

Zheng Liang turned around and found that it was Ander who had walked behind him at some point.

"Hehe, Ander, hello!" Zheng Liang replied with a smile.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, I came here uninvited, and I came to recommend myself to you," Ander said.This afternoon, he already knew that Zheng Liang had quite a lot of territory in the place he was about to arrive.Plus Zhu Qinfeng's flattery in the evening.He suddenly felt that it would be good to get a job with Zheng Liang.After the banquet, this thought became more and more intense, so she told her wife Angel Lilico about her thoughts. Angel actually realized that her man had always been unwilling in her heart. Now that her man has a dream, of course she is Supported.After getting the support of his wife, he decisively came to Zhengliang to recommend himself.

"Self-recommendation?" Zheng Liang was taken aback.It never occurred to him that the other party came to visit him for self-recommendation.
