Chapter 523 The most primitive communication!(1/2)
Author: flaming chicken fir
On the vast sea, strong winds rolled up dark clouds.
Between the dark clouds and the sea, there is a fleet sailing proudly.
They rode on the waves, and then rushed into the storm like arrows...
When the storm at sea subsided, everyone on the ship lay limply on the ground like a deflated rubber ball. Even Zhu Ping, the King of Qin, lay down with the navy soldiers without any scruples, celebrating once again.
Survival after disaster.
"How dangerous!"
"We were just a few seconds away from meeting the Sea Dragon King!"
At this moment, the leader of the fleet, Ma He, also came up and sat down next to Zhu Xi.
"Who says it isn't!"
"Fortunately, we chained the battleships together in advance, otherwise the storm at night would have swallowed us all up!"
Zhu Ru couldn't help complaining after hearing this.
"It's all Zhu Yunxi's fault for repairing the broken ship. It has neither wind nor sails. It still has to burn coal!"
"Where can I get coal for it in this vast ocean?"
“It’s too heavy to throw away, and too heavy to carry around…”
Ma He had a mysterious admiration for Zhu Yunxi. When he heard the king of Zhou complaining about the emperor's grandson, he immediately said good things for the emperor's grandson.
"You can't say that!"
"If it weren't for the Hongwu, we wouldn't have escaped this storm so easily..."
When Zhu Zhu heard this, he secretly rolled his eyes at Ma He and stopped talking nonsense to this dead eunuch. But when he thought of his lovely wife and concubine at home, he felt irritated and couldn't help complaining.
"How long will it take for us to find the Golden Continent!"
"Have you been gone for several months?"
When Zhu Xi heard this, he couldn't help but crane his neck to look at Ma He.
"Xiao Ma, if you tell me something sweet, will we ever be able to reach the Golden Continent in this life?"
When Ma He heard this, he immediately took out the map and compared it.
"In principle, we should have arrived, but I don't know why, but I didn't even see the shadow of land..."
"Did we go the wrong way?"
Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi were both dumbfounded when they heard this, and Zhu Xi was so aggrieved that he burst into tears.
"Xiao Ma, don't scare us. You are the captain of the fleet, how can you make the wrong route?"
"I'm definitely right, I just don't know this picture..."
Ma He shook the drawing, and as soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained.
"The chart must be correct. It may be due to the weather. Our line of sight is limited..."
Zhu Ping fell into silence when he heard the words, and Zhu Zhu cried even louder when he heard the words.
Zhu Xi never thought about finding gold, let alone catching big birds. He was completely abducted by Zhu Xi, a scumbag.
Therefore, after crying for a while, Zhu Xi vented his anger on Zhu Xi.
"It's all your fault!"
"Why are you talking to that grandson Zhu Yunxi about me when you have nothing to do? You have to kill me before you are willing to do it!"
Zhu Xi has long been used to hearing it. If Zhu Xi doesn't complain a few days, he won't get used to it.
"Xiao Ma, if you really can't find us, why don't we just go back the way we came?"
"I have already asked someone. The food and water we brought are enough for us to return to France. When the time comes, you can just throw me and King Zhou into France, and we will return from the land..."
Ma He shook his head firmly when he heard this.
"no!"
"Since this servant has been ordered by the emperor's grandson, he must find the Golden Continent before he can return!"
When Zhu Ping saw this, he cursed unabashedly.
"You are so stubborn!"
"A eunuch like you can't survive even three days in my palace!"
Just as several people were complaining to each other, the lookout hanging on the mast suddenly shouted.
"I saw it!"
"I see land!"
"Golden Island!"
"This must be the Golden Continent!"
When Zhu Ping heard these words, he jumped up from the deck. After several months of sailing at sea, he not only lost his fat belly, but also made many of his minor ailments disappear, and his skills also improved.
Become extremely healthy.
Zhu Tong stopped crying and looked blankly in the direction of the lookout. However, there was still nothing but a vast expanse of land in front of him, without any trace of land.
Ma He directly ordered someone to hoist himself up to the highest point of the mast, and took out his telescope to look into the distance.
When he was sure that there was land ahead, Ma He also became extremely excited.
"It is indeed land!"
"Order all fleets to advance at full speed and be sure to land before sunset!"
When the flagman on the ship received the order, he immediately sent instructions to other warships in semaphore language. The other warships all cheered with joy after receiving the order.
"Finally found the Golden Continent!"
"Brothers, move forward at full speed!"
With everyone's joint efforts, everyone finally arrived on land before the sun set.
However, for safety reasons, Ma He did not order people to disembark and land, but stayed up until dawn.
Facts have proved that his decision was right. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the land, everyone on the boat took a breath of cold air.
I saw that the beach that was empty yesterday was already filled with savages holding javelins, wearing feathers on their heads, and wearing animal skins.
Before Ma He set sail, he had followed Zhu Yunxi and heard many stories. He knew that these people were the indigenous people of this continent, and they seemed to be called An people...
Although Ma He didn't remember the exact name, he did remember one thing, that is, you should not kill people unless necessary.
The officers on the fleet immediately prepared to shoot, and then reported to Ma He.
"Mr. Ma, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Ma He pondered for a moment after hearing the words.
"Prepare the boat and pick out two tonguesmen. I'll go meet the savages on the opposite side."
The naval commander heard this and immediately stopped him.
"No!"
"It's unclear whether we are friends or foes now. The manager must not put himself in danger!"
Ma He shook his head when he heard this.
"We are new here. If we kill indiscriminately and arouse the hatred of the natives, no matter how sharp the Ming Dynasty's firearms are, we will not be able to withstand the counterattack of this continent..."
"Furthermore, we are teachers of the king and teachers of benevolence and righteousness. How can we commit such heinous crimes?"
"You don't need to persuade us any more. I believe the natives across the street are honest people. As long as we express goodwill, they will be willing to trade with us."
The naval commander could only obey the words, but still asked Ma He to issue an order to prevent accidents.
"Manager Ma, if the other party kills people indiscriminately, we..."
Ma He smiled coldly when he heard this.
"Our Ming Dynasty is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, not a teacher of pedantry."
"If the other party dares to kill people, you can just kill them!"
"I understand the humble position!"
After Ma He settled everything, he immediately led several people to get off the boat.
When Ma He disembarked, Taino, the leader of the Arawak tribe, immediately ordered everyone to retreat and surrounded Ma and the group in a semi-encirclement.
However, after seeing only a few people disembarking from dozens of large ships, Tylenol felt quite relaxed.
Although he still didn't know the purpose of these yellow-skinned people, he could at least tell that they had no ill intentions.
Otherwise, if they get off the boat together, even if there are hundreds of warriors on their side, they will ultimately be unable to withstand the attack of these people.
To be continued...
