Zhu Yuanzhang: I Forbid The Sea, But The Sun Never Sets On The Sea

Chapter 92 Arrives In Europe, Prelude To The Great Voyage*(Subscription Required)

After the 11th century, with the recovery and development of the economy, the rise of cities and the improvement of living standards, people gradually changed their pessimistic and desperate attitude towards real life and began to pursue the pleasures of secular life. violated.

The rebellion against Catholic culture first appeared in Italia, the city’s economically prosperous city in the 14th century.

At the end of the fourteenth century, the Renaissance in Europe has begun to spread to most of the European continent.

However, it will take hundreds of years to wait for the fruits of the Renaissance to fully bloom.

Today’s European continent is still synonymous with being behind the darkness. At most, there is a little more light in the darkness, but this light is not enough to illuminate the entire darkness.

Zhu Bo’s fleet passed through Africa and arrived at the place where Europe and Africa meet.

The Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea.

Africa faces the Mediterranean Sea to the north and Europe faces the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The Strait of Gibraltar is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

And arriving here can be regarded as completely entering the scope of European civilization.

on the deck.

Look at the turbulent Mediterranean Sea.

Zhu Bo’s heart could not help but fluctuate a little.

once Upon a time.

Countless Chinese people dream of going back to ancient times, from the land of Asia, to Europe.

Completely rewrite the original trajectory.

But that was just a thought.

Today, when he returned to these hundreds of years ago.

Back to the era when the Ming Dynasty was just established.

He finally did it on this day.

With his own fleet, with the light belonging to China, he set foot in this place where China has never set foot before.

Even Zheng He’s voyages to the West in the future have not been able to set foot on the level of today.

But he did.

“Is this the land of Daqin?”

Lan Xia’er, like Wu Hui, came to the deck and looked at the entire sea.

The two could not help but bring a curiosity and a longing.

sailing for several months.

At sea, they could say that they listened to Zhu Bo telling stories that belonged to Daqin.

The two are also full of curiosity about this exotic civilization that is almost different from China.

“There is no one in control here! 35

“It seems that this Daqin is nothing more than that!”

Lan Yu sneered at the side, and his eyes couldn’t help but look at the strait in front of him.

And looking along the blue jade, you can just see where the front is.

As for Lan Yu’s words, Zhu Bo naturally understood what he meant.

The place in front of us is the legendary Strait of Gibraltar, and its strategic significance is beyond doubt, because in addition to communicating the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, it is also the “lifeline” of the Mediterranean Sea.

.

Occupying this place is basically equivalent to containing the entire Mediterranean Sea, and even the way out of Europe.

“Master Taishan, today’s Daqin is not the Daqin of the past. The first emperor died and the world was divided. Now Daqin has already fallen apart, and the entire Daqin land has become hundreds of countries, but there is no way to rule this place~35

Zhu Bo opened his mouth with a light smile.

Consciousness moves.

The next moment, a sea-going ship was rapidly approaching the Strait of Gibraltar.

As a traveler, he is naturally more aware of the strategic significance here.

Here, he certainly doesn’t mind building some bases out.

Since the Europeans do not control, then he is ready to control.

“You have to think about it, this place is far away from where you are, even if someone captures it, you probably won’t be able to get the news.

Lan Yu seemed to have noticed Zhu Bo’s small movements and opened his mouth with a cold snort.

“It’s just plugging in some front stops!

“Next time we come to resupply it will be more convenient!”

Zhu Bo opened his mouth with a light smile.

He didn’t care about Lan Yu’s dissuasion.

Under normal circumstances, trying to control this place is almost like a fool’s dream.

Not to mention Daming, even Australia is far from here.

Setting up a base here is almost a decoration.

Not to mention here, including Africa, including the Gulf region, these establishment of bases are meaningless.

After all, too far, supplies, and control will become a big problem.

But Zhu Bo is a person with a system, an existence with golden fingers.

The role of the base is infinite.

More than just a wide field of view.

It is more than enough to serve as a development base for the front station.

As long as he thought about it, the farmers in these bases were enough to quickly complete the construction of a town center or even a city.

And because of the system, he didn’t need to worry about loyalty at all.

Because there is no possibility of rebellion.

That’s the power of the system, and the incredible thing about it.

“what ever!

Sapphire opened his mouth.

Ignore it.

Since Zhu Bo has to spend manpower and material resources, he won’t say much. When there is a problem, Zhu Bo will know.

Anyway, the loss is not too big.

As for Lan Yu’s attitude, Zhu Bo showed a radian.

After several months of sailing, Lan Yu’s attitude towards him finally improved.

Although he had promised him before, his attitude towards him was still bad.

It was not until these months of sailing that it finally gradually reached normal.

And this is undoubtedly a happy thing.

Show a smile.

On the sea ship, because of the depression of long-term voyage, along with the arrival of the European continent, it gradually relaxed.

When entering Europe, the first European continent to reach is Italia.

At this time, Italia was undoubtedly in its most glorious era.

Due to the development of the Renaissance, the entire Italia gradually became prominent in the huge European continent.

There is even enough prosperity.

Italia people are confident and arrogant, at this time they think they are the spokesperson of the truth, will lead the whole world.

They even began to export their ideas to the whole of Europe.

Just this moment, this day, is destined to be a day they will never forget.

When Zhu Bo’s fleet tore through the sea of ​​clouds and descended on the Mediterranean Sea.

The sheer size of those hundreds of ships almost made Italia’s navy almost completely scared, and they didn’t even dare to approach.

“Fuck, my god, so what?”

On a sea ship, a naval officer made a terrified sound.

His hands were shaking.

because in front of him.

A boat appeared in an instant, and it was a dense number of boats.

one.

ten.

One hundred ships.

two hundred

Three hundred ships.

Too much, too much, too much, and his mind went blank all of a sudden.

Where the original port was.

At this time, an urgent alarm sounded.

in the rush of sirens.

The original prosperity turned into chaos at this moment.

“Oh my God, what is that?

“Is that God’s Noah’s Ark?”

“This this!”

Among the voices, there was a trembling from the depths of the soul, and even someone in the port was directly prostrate on the ground, praying devoutly towards the treasure ship.

The ships of the Empire may not have been big enough.

But among these ships, Zhu Bo not only has his own, but also some brought from the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is not as good as the treasure ship in the future.

But still very large.

This kind of hugeness completely surpasses the broken sampans of European countries in this era.

Plus such a massive ship.

Almost like they had never seen before, Italia’s navy was already the most powerful in all of Europe.

But compared to the huge fleet in front of him, the crowd of Italia felt so insignificant.

Today in the fourteenth century, the radiance of God has not dissipated.

So many people, prostrate directly on both sides, did not dare to lift their heads in the slightest, and their mouths were constantly praying.

When the ship docked.

Everything went even more smoothly.

Didn’t even get any obstructions.

When they saw those ships, the Zhu Bo fleet had already prepared for war.

Sapphire is thinking about how to quickly defeat the enemy and log in.

But it turned out surprisingly well.

It went so smoothly that they were all unimaginable.

on the deck.

The crowd slowly walked down.

Looking at the existences crawling on the ground one after another.

Lan Xia’er and Wu Hui couldn’t help being a little curious.

Including Lan Yu frowned.

“”What are they talking about?”

Lan Xia’er whispered towards Zhu Bo.

(of money)

It’s just obvious that Zhu Bo doesn’t speak Italia’s language either, so he can’t help but look to the side.

There was a young man with brown skin.

It was a translator he brought over from Egypt. Because of his strong language talent, he was brought on board by him. After more than ten days of study, this one also showed his super-high language talent. Even mastered simple Chinese communication.

“Lord Angel, they are praying to you.”

Hansa Theodore spoke with some broken Chinese, and his words were respectful.

Even after living for more than ten days, for Hansa Theodore, these different people in front of him are also the same existence as gods.

They possess terrifying weapons and unimaginable artifacts.

The dozen or so days on the boat have made him go from shock to numbness, to now thinking that this should be the case.

So facing the crawling crowd around him, he was not surprised.

“pray?”

Zhu Bo was stunned for a moment, and the two women couldn’t help but open their mouths.

And Lan Yu’s face turned black instantly.

In the East, or at times in Daming, in China, there is only one who prays to the dead, and no one prays to the living.

His face darkened with murderous intent.

Fortunately, Zhu Bo found out and quickly held down his father-in-law.
