- The voyage in the Mediterranean was very pleasant, and Emma added a lot of joy to the journey.
The Sea King sailed smoothly towards Marseille Port without any trouble.
Although there were many pirates who wanted to take advantage of the Sea King, when they saw its huge hull and the densely packed gun muzzles, they immediately gave up such ideas.
"If the double-decker warships of the Mediterranean pirates or the Arab warships wanted to fight the Sea King, it would be no different than risking death.
"As long as their heads are not squeezed, no one will be so stupid as to attack Zhao Hongyu and the others. Even if I heard that the people on the Sea King were very noble and there would be a huge ransom for catching them, they still had to survive.
Zhao Hongyu and the others had no idea that they had been tricked.
But even if you know it, it won't matter.
You must know that Zhao Hongyu has strong confidence in his Sea King.
If even the weak pirates here in the Mediterranean can't deal with it, then wouldn't the Sea King's powerful Zhang Tie become a boast?
In this era, the more powerful pirates were "hunting" in the Atlantic Ocean, because ocean-going merchant ships were the big fish for them. And the pirates who hang out in the Mediterranean are all low-class.
The reason is very simple, because the ships of the pirates in the Mediterranean are offshore ships that cannot conduct ocean voyages at all.
At this point, the pirates in the Atlantic looked down on their counterparts in the Mediterranean.
This is just like the bandits looking down on the gangsters in the urban-rural fringe area.
After leaving Lisbon and meeting Abdula, Zhao Hongyu and the others arrived at the Port of Marseille in southern France after a five-day voyage.
The arrival of the Sea King has also opened the eyes of ships entering and leaving the Port of Marseille.
They had never seen such a big ship before, and they couldn't imagine that anyone in the world could actually build such a big ship.
Therefore, after the Sea King sailed into the port dock and docked, it caused a sensation just like Lisbon.
In this era, the Port of Marseille is an ordinary small port, and its prosperity is not as prosperous as Lisbon under Portugal.
At the dock, there is a 30-meter-wide road paved with sand, and a row of two-story sandstone houses standing there in a straight line.
Overall, Zhao Hongyu is very disappointed with Marseille Port.
On the pier, twenty or thirty merchant ships with their sails lowered were docked there, and many stevedores were busy loading and unloading.
Zhao Hongyu took a quick look, but it was just some cashmere, linen, and rum products.
"I'm disappointed. The Port of Marseille is not even as good as the rural areas of later generations. I'm really disappointed."
Zhao Hongyu stood on the deck, leaning on the railing and whispered to Wang Shan.
"Your Highness, don't look at what era this is. For Marseille to develop and reach its greatest glory, Napoleon will have to rise. But at this time, Louis XIII is still a little kid."
"Obviously, Wang Shan didn't feel cold after watching Marseille.
On the sandy road of Marseille Port, there were many carriages passing by, and these carriages were not so luxurious. It was completely different from the carriages in Zhao Hongyu's impression.
The only road in Marseille Port is full of smelly horse manure.
"This suddenly makes me feel like I have arrived in the Chinese countryside in the late Qing Dynasty. No, it is not even as good as the rural areas in the late Qing Dynasty." Zhao Hongyu shook his head in disappointment.
At this time, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and the Sea King had already docked.
"Lower anchor! Lower sail!"
At this time, the boatswain was giving orders loudly, and the genetic sailors were running back and forth on the deck, doing their own things skillfully.
Phew!
The white sails fell one by one, and were rolled up and tied to the crossbar by the sailors.
"There is no carriage, but it doesn't matter. Let's lead all the horses in the cabin to the shore."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s Sea King is very large, but it does not carry a carriage.
Fortunately, they have war horses, so they are not afraid of wasting any time.
After receiving Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, Wang Shan quickly turned around and went down to prepare.
The sailors quickly connected the planks piece by piece and extended them to the shore.
? Emma and Sara are carryingWhen they came to Zhao Hongyu's side, the two of them were still dressed in men's clothing.
The reason is very simple, because they feel too comfortable wearing men's clothing. It is more convenient and comfortable than women's clothing, so they immediately like this kind of men's clothing.
And Zhao Hongyu won¡¯t say anything about their outfits, as long as they like them.
Therefore, Emma and Sara wore men's clothing every day and wandered around in front of Zhao Hongyu.
"We've arrived in France. Now we're going to take over the manor and install the title deeds. Now that we're here, you have to be the guide."
Zhao Hongyu looked back at Sara and smiled.
Sara nodded and looked at Zhao Hongyu lovingly.
"There are so many delicious and fun things to do in Marseille, so don't let me down. But I think the Port of Marseille is not as lively as Lisbon."
At this time, Emma wrinkled her cute little nose and said something sweetly.
"Marseille is indeed not comparable to Lisbon. After all, Lisbon is near the mouth of the Mediterranean. Many ships have to anchor in Lisbon when they go to the Americas, and they will not set off until they have replenished supplies."
Sarah explained.
"But don't be disappointed. There are a lot of game animals near Marseille, although not as much as in the Americas. But if you want to hunt, there are still some wild ducks, hares, foxes, etc."
??Hunting? I like it best.
After listening to Sara¡¯s words, Emma finally became happy.
Emma has an active nature and is most afraid of having nothing fun.
She had already suffered enough in Lisbon, and she didn¡¯t want to live that kind of life again in Marseille.
At this time, Wang Shan had ordered the genetic man to lead all fifty horses to the shore.
¡°Chelsea!¡±
Zhao Hongyu turned around and shouted, and then Chelsea, the former handyman of the British Mayflower and now the captain of the Sea King, ran over at a trot.
This guy is smart now and keeps to himself along the way. Even if he doesn't get an order from Lisbon, he won't get off the ship or have casual contact with other people.
Chelsea now cherishes everything she has now.
He knew very well that everything he had was given to him by Zhao Hongyu.
If Zhao Hongyu is offended, then the beautiful house with a garden in America, his Indian wife and the high salary of more than sixty yuan a month will be gone.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"I will take Wang Shan and some guards to take over my manor now, and my guards will also be taken away. I will leave the matter here to you. I think the officials in Marseille will have to wait a while. Coming."
Hearing this, Chelsea nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, there is no problem in leaving this place to me."
Then Zhao Hongyu said: "Be careful here, the sailors also need to relax. But you'd better let them take turns to rest and have fun ashore. The Sea King must be watched carefully. I don't want to be taken away by pirates. Sea King."
In this era, it is nothing new for some pirates to rob ships in ports of various countries.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu does not want such a thing to happen to him.
Chelsea¡¯s face was straightened, and she patted her chest to Zhao Hongyu to ensure that such a thing would not happen. The ship would be destroyed if there were people.
"When I take over the manor, I will send someone to tell you the address. If anything happens, you can contact me immediately. Then I will leave first."
Zhao Hongyu took out a small leather bag and threw it to Chelsea, "Have a good time in Marseille. I heard that the women here are very good. Don't worry, there is no Indian wife who will tell you."
Chelsea caught the leather bag thrown by Zhao Hongyu with a flattering smile on her face.
¡°Subsequently, Zhao Hongyu, Sara, Emma and Wang Shan came to the shore and got on their horses.
Eight hundred genetic human guards disembarked from the Sea King in neat rows.
Set off!
The large group of people headed west from Lisbon Port in a mighty manner, which stunned the surrounding businessmen or workers. These people are all guessing where these people come from.
" However, businessmen who have been to America know that these people are from the Song Empire of America.
Logically speaking, when Zhao Hongyu landed in Marseille with his soldiers, he would be subject to interrogation.
But I don¡¯t know what happened, the soldiers in Marseille Port??No one showed up.
In fact, no one knows that the soldiers in Marseille Port were shocked by Zhao Hongyu's Sea King and those genetic soldiers, and they did not recover for a while.
By the time they remembered their responsibilities, Zhao Hongyu and 800 genetic people had already left the port of Marseille.
This is a big deal, these strangers are also bringing troops.
Therefore, the soldiers at Marseille Port quickly informed the administrator of the news.
Fortunately, the administrator was not an idiot. After he heard that the ship was flying a five-star red flag, he immediately knew what it was about.
And the news that the crown prince of the American empire came to Europe has spread throughout Europe.
Thinking about it, the Crown Prince must have left Lisbon and came to Marseille.
¡°Besides, there is a manor owned by the American crown prince and concubine five or six kilometers away on the western outskirts of Marseille. It seems that the crown prince is here to take over the manor.
Besides, as a crown prince, it is normal for him to be accompanied by a group of imperial guards.
It¡¯s just a little more in quantity, after all, the national conditions are different.
¡°But this news must be informed to Her Majesty the Queen immediately.
¡°At the same time, I have to go to the dock to have contact with the people of the Song Empire. (To be continued.
