1954: Interview

Mattus looked at the huge ship of the Dachu that was moving closer and closer.

The rolling black smoke coming out of the chimney, the rumbling roar of machines, and the long and loud whistle sounds all refreshed his cognition again and again.

"Dagong, this is our main fleet of Ming Dynasty." Yu Rongguang, who was on the side, looked at Mattus with a smile, and said proudly, "This is the battle formation of the Dachu."

Lin Shu, who was standing aside, even raised his head and translated Yu Rongguang's words.

Mattus was speechless. At this moment, he finally completely believed what Yu Rongguang had said to him, and the Ming Dynasty did not use the main force to deal with him at all.

"Today, it's time to tell the Grand Duke some news." Yu Rongguang said with a smile: "Our main fleet has completely annihilated the main fleet of Dancy and Stenson. Your Majesty the King is now surrounded by us in a small town in Manila. There is no way to heaven and no way to the earth. Grand Duke, you are lucky."

Mattus nodded speechlessly, and no matter what, his fleet was only half left.

"How many of you have such a fleet?" he asked.

Yu Rongguang smiled: "How many of them can't tell you, I can't tell you, what I can tell you is that whether it is the fleet of the annihilation of King Danxi or the fleet of Grand Duke Stenson, we have only used two main fleets, the Dachu combat formation in front of you, and a Taiping combat formation, which has a total of thirty warships."

Mattus looked at Yu Rongguang in disbelief, and thirty warships defeated the warship team that had wiped out ten times their Tiger Dynasty, which once again suffered a strong blow to his self-esteem. If these warships were not in front of him but listening to what others said, he would not have believed it no matter what.

Looking at Mattus's suspicious eyes, Yu Rongguang said: "Dagong, after Jin has seen our Majesty, you can visit our warships. After you have seen his power with your own eyes, I think there will be no doubts. Please, our Majesty is waiting for you on the Dachu."

Following the wide springboard, we walked step by step on the deck of the Dachu. Where, two generals stood side by side, one was Zhou Li, the commander of the Dachu combat formation, and the other was Fan Chang, who had actually been promoted to the deputy commander of the Liehuo Death Camp.

Yu Rongguang briefly introduced the two people to Mattus, both veterans on the battlefield of hundreds of battles. When they looked at each other, they knew that the other was not a good person. Mattus's eyes stayed on Fan Chang for some time, because although Fan Chang had a big beard, he was indeed very young.

Mattus was so young but had such a solid and murderous aura on the battlefield. This made him involuntarily think of the true strength of the Ming army.

"Grand Duke Mattus, His Majesty is waiting for the visit in the living room." Zhou Li smiled and gave way to Fan Chang, leaving a way for Mattus.

Mattus's footsteps were a little heavy.

He wanted to meet not only the emperor of the Ming Empire, but also a winner who had just defeated them. Zhou Li and Fan Chang, two Ming generals, looked polite, but he could clearly feel the arrogance hidden deep in his eyes and bones.

What kind of treatment will you receive?

In the Western Continent, winners have never tolerated this statement about losers.

With a nervous mood, he stepped into the reception room on the top floor of the Dachu.

Just looking at this reception room, I wouldn't expect that this is a warship. The luxurious interior layout made Mattus dumbfounded. Any ornaments in the reception room above this warship would be priceless in the Western Continent.

A tall figure with his back facing the door was looking at the map that occupied a wall.

"Matus, the Grand Duke of Munich, Munich, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire." Mattus walked forward a few steps, stroked his right hand and bent down deeply.

Lin Shu, who followed him, tried his best to suppress his excitement, but he still translated Mattus's words with some trembling. This was the first time he had seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire.

Qin Feng turned around, his face filled with a bright smile, and waved to Mattus, "Grand Duke Mattus, please come here."

Mattus was a little surprised. There was no need for Lin Shu to translate. Just looking at Qin Feng's actions, he knew what the other party was saying. After hesitating for a moment, he still walked forward to Qin Feng's side.

Although he was defeated, he still had the dignity of the Grand Duke of the Tiger Dynasty.

Qin Feng pointed to the huge map and smiled and said, "Dagong, come and take a look. We have finally supplemented the maps including the East and West Continents. Well, thank you for the drawings you provided for us, which gave us a clearer understanding of the West Continent."

Mattus was watching Qin Feng.

The other party's youth surprised him very much. From him, he could not feel the sharpness and oppression of Danci's sword as if she was unsheathed. Instead, he felt a sense of relief. In just this short moment, he seemed to relax from the inside to the outside, and his muscles, which had been tense due to tension, completely relaxed at this moment.

But the short relaxation made him have a cold war in the next moment. His mind suddenly woke up, raised his head, but saw Qin Feng smiling at him.

He owed awkwardly: "Dear Your Majesty, your youth makes me jealous. Please forgive me for losing my composure."

Qin Feng laughed: "I'm not young anymore, I'm almost forty."

Yu Rongguang, who was on the side, added: "Although His Majesty is only forty, he has been fighting for more than twenty years."

Qin Feng nodded with emotion: "Yes, since I joined the army at the age of sixteen, it has been more than twenty years in a blink of an eye. I have almost lived through battles in my life. I don't know when there will be no war."

"Your Majesty, after defeating Qi and unifying the world, it will naturally be peaceful in the prosperous era!" Yu Rongguang said.

Mattus listened to Lin Shu's quick translation. Although he didn't understand what these words meant, he understood that the emperor in front of him, although young, was like King Dansi of the Tiger Dynasty, had spent his whole life on the battlefield.

"Dagong, look, this is the Western Continent where you are." Qin Feng, who had a sigh, pointed his finger on a place on the map, "What a vast and fertile piece of land. This is a good place."

The maps that Mattus usually saw were all messy. Usually they did not have much awareness of this, and they would only collect the maps of each other when they wanted to deal with the enemy. This was the first time he saw the complete map that spliced ​​the entire Western Continent together. His eyes were attracted by it.

"The fief of the Grand Duke is in Munich, it must be here!" Qin Feng pointed at a certain point on the map accurately. Mattus was of course very clear about his territory.

"Although the Western Continent is vast, it is a remote place compared to the Eastern Continent, which makes His Majesty laugh." He whispered. At Yangang, he had already seen the wealth of the Ming Dynasty. Even those ordinary people who were promoted to fight, they were probably more beautiful than those of the little nobles in the Western Continent.

"No, no, no, the reason why I am poor is that you have not managed it well." Qin Feng shook his head repeatedly, "Yu Rongguang told me, do you ask to send some of the noble children to our study in the Beijing University?"

"Yes."

"This is really a wise decision." Qin Feng laughed: "When they returned to their country after studying, I believe that their role is definitely more effective than your tens of thousands of troops. The army can conquer, plunder, and deterrently, but it cannot make your people rich. But after studying, these people can do it."

"This is exactly one of my wishes," said Mattus.

Qin Feng gestured on the map, "Dagong, look, from the Western Continent to our Eastern Continent, it doesn't look far on the sea chart. How much time did you take all the way?"

"It's almost three months!" Mattus replied honestly: "Although the expeditionary force is divided into three parts, each of them is a very large and huge fleet, which has dragged down the speed of progress."

Qin Feng looked at Zhou Li: "General Zhou, if it is your Dachu combat formation, how long will it take?"

Zhou Li bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you are just a combat team, half a month is enough. If you bring a supply ship, you can arrive in one month."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't sound too far."

Mattus changed color slightly and said, "Does Your Majesty intend to hunt west?"

"No, no, no, just ask casually." Qin Feng said: "Duke, don't misunderstand me. My Ming Dynasty has no intention of conquering the Western Continent. There will be no one now, and there will be no one in the future."

He pointed to the location of the East Continent on the map: "Dagong, please see, this is the continent where our Ming Dynasty is located. He is already big enough. If you manage it well, it will take us one or two generations of time. We are very clear about the principle that we are greedy for more and not messy. We Ming people care more about the quality of life. Now, there are many not-rich people and many poor people in our country. Just to solve their problems, we need to be very energetic. Dagong, our Ming people's ideas are different from you. We never think that robbing others will make ourselves richer. We believe that only by mastering the methods of creating wealth can we and our descendants never worry about hunger and cold. So Dagong doesn't have to worry about our warships pouring fire into the Western Continent one day. Even if they go, I think, they will go as guests."

Mattus looked at Qin Feng's serious face and bent down deeply: "Your Majesty's kindness and a lot of broad Hong made Mattus grateful. Mattus will always be the most loyal friend of the Ming Dynasty."
