Chapter 1913: Narrow Escape

When the huge 'big mushroom' turned from the dense forest ahead, those trees seemed to be pulled up one by one by an invisible hand.

No, tangible!

That big hand is the handle of the umbrella!

No sound!

Those big trees didn't make a sound when they were uprooted!

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head, looked at the huge umbrella above his head, jumped up suddenly, pointed at the top and cursed: "Press it down, try to crush me to death, come on, press it down without shrinking eggs!"

The wind was blowing, and most of the people could not stand still. They were all squatting on the ground, and some even lay on the ground.

Zhu Gaoxu was still standing, biting a leg of lamb from time to time, drinking another sip of wine, and then yelling.

It's like when the two armies are facing each other, the general will come out to challenge and yell!

The thick clouds seemed to be pressing on the person's head, Chang Jianxun couldn't help but bent over and walked to Zhu Gaoxu's side, shouting desperately: "Your Highness, get on the boat! We must leave here immediately!"

The sailors had already boarded the ship, but they didn't dare to lift the anchor and raise the sails. Most of them knelt on the deck and prayed.

If it is said that the most superstitious profession in the world, probably no one can compare with sailors.

Since a long time ago, going to sea has been a matter with a very high mortality rate, so many taboos have gradually formed.

And this big mushroom made up of clouds is undoubtedly what these sailors fear most.

It is better to encounter a storm at sea, at least half the chance of survival.

But this is land, and the big trees have been uprooted, so what are people?

"Get back to the boat!"

Some people on the boat were praying, and some were shouting at the people on the shore, their voices were terrified.

But who is Zhu Gaoxu?

This twisted up, only Zhu Di can restrain him in this world, but Emperor Wen has already fallen asleep, and at this moment Zhu Gaoxu is like a bird being let loose, venting his personality unrestrainedly.

"Your Highness!"

A strong wind came,

Slapping Chang Jianxun on the ground, he desperately crawled towards Zhu Gaoxu whose body was shaking.

Zhu Gaochi had a leg of lamb in one hand and a wine bag in the other. He stretched out his hands to maintain his balance, and suddenly laughed.

"What kind of bird wind, even I can't blow it down! Hahahaha!" As he spoke, he threw the half-gnawed lamb leg at the big mushroom.

The leg of lamb was blown back in the air by the strong wind, Zhu Gaoxu slapped him flying, and then he raised his head and took a sip of wine, his heroism was in a mess.

The people lying on the ground looked at Zhu Gaoxu with the eyes of a lunatic, feeling sad in their hearts.

Even if everyone escaped, if Zhu Gaoxu was swept away by the strong wind, no one would be able to escape the guilt after returning home.

"Turned! Turned!"

While everyone was waiting to die, the huge mushroom cloud moved slowly from the front left, and then gradually turned right along the coastline.

Zhu Gaoxu's voice became hoarse when he scolded. After escaping from the dead, he drank the wine in his wine bag and cursed: "Fang Xing, you scumbag..."

...

Of course Fang Xing couldn't hear Zhu Gaoxu's yelling, he was leading the fleet slowly sailing in the densely populated sea area.

"The pilot ship sent a message that all the hidden reefs have been marked, so it will be much more convenient to come back next time."

Fu Xian was also a little apprehensive facing the unfamiliar sea, but fortunately, there were sailors left by Zheng He to lead the way.

"Eunuch Zheng is not easy!"

"Of course, he will definitely flaunt the eternal!"

Fang Xing observed the surrounding islands with a telescope, and said casually, "This time Zheng He wants to explore farther, but I'm not optimistic about it."

"Why?"

Fu Xian felt that Fang Xing was underestimating Zheng He: "Uncle, when it comes to long-distance voyages, no one in Ming Dynasty can surpass Eunuch Zheng."

"Too many people."

Fang Xing put down the binoculars and said: "If there are few people, you can sail along the coast, there are many opportunities to replenish fresh water, and you can also get some meat. Tens of thousands of people, where do you think can provide supplies?"

Fu Xian nodded, the biggest hardship of the long voyage was supplies, Zheng He's fleet was full of horse chews, and the supplies they carried would not last long.

"How about those people?" Fang Xing asked.

Wang He on the left turned around and took a look, and said: "I didn't let them out, I was in a hurry, and I don't know what I want to do."

Fang Xing rubbed the binoculars and said, "They want to find out the situation in this sea area."

Wang He wondered: "They are far away from here, so what can they do if they find out?"

Fang Xing said indifferently: "It's just the greed in your bones. When you see something good, you want to snatch it."

Wang He sneered and said, "Then they are courting their own death."

Wang He said this with contempt, but Fang Xing and Fu Xian both nodded as a matter of course.

Fu Xian touched the handle of the knife, and said confidently: "As long as they dare to come, they will get stuck in the strait and then have a decisive battle! The brilliant Ming Dynasty should stand in the world!"

"No!"

Fang Xing took a deep breath and said, "It should be Wanshi!"

...

"Where is the outside? Why is the speed of the boat fluctuating?"

Bastian asked anxiously.

The Ming army's own quarters were crowded, so the mission naturally did not receive preferential treatment.

When there are too many people, the smell in the cabin can make people who just come in sick. But the members of the mission were used to the smell, and thought it was very normal.

The cabin is open, but there are guards outside and they are not allowed to come out.

"Bastian..."

A man was sitting in a corner, his eyes had been closed since he got on the boat. At this moment, he opened his eyes and said confidently: "After the fleet departed from there, it should have gone to the southeast."

Bastian thought for a while, and then drew his fingers on the wooden board in front of him. After a long time, he raised his head and said, "This sea area is very, very large. The strait between us and Gorse can only be regarded as a bathtub." son."

"Fairway Bastian."

A member of the mission said melancholy: "This place is too far away from the mainland, and it is impossible for us to conquer the countries along the way."

Bastian nodded and said, "Yes, how many years have we been fighting? But we still can't beat Meat Charming. Impossible, not by land. So we can only look at the sea route."

"Bastian, think about the soldiers we saw. They are all cold and must be good soldiers. It's just that we don't know how many soldiers Mingren have. We can't make enemies with them."

"Yes! It is said that there is gold everywhere, and the common people wear silk, silk that makes people crazy, and porcelain that Frankish nobles can't use, and the soldiers guarding the city are more decent than us..."

The cabin was quiet, and everyone looked longingly.

"That's an amazing place!"

Bastian was also looking forward to it, but he immediately woke up and said coldly: "Don't forget their fleet, think about this big boat like a hill, we don't have it, and neither do the country people on the other side. After finding the route, what we have to worry about is whether the Ming people will...appear on our coastline."

Everyone seemed to have been poured with cold water, someone touched the floor and said worriedly: "Yes, now we are going to visit Daming, see if their land is wide, and see if their population is large enough... ...I think there should be several million people."

"millions?"

Bastian shook his head and said, "I guess more than that, there should be tens of millions."

If Fang Xing heard this data, he would probably laugh away.

But the guess of tens of millions still made these people gasp.

"Thinking that they can easily summon millions of troops to fight, such a country makes people desperate!"

None of these people could imagine the power of an army that could cover the entire land.

"They could even fill the sea Bastian!"

"yes."

"Their sea ships are huge, and our ships will be crushed. Thinking about that scene, Bastian, I feel chills all over."

The atmosphere in the cabin was gloomy, and Bastian, who knew Mingren couldn't understand Frank's language, dared to speak boldly.

"Don't worry." Bastian encouraged his morale: "This is a scary Ming, so Plantagenet has also ceased fighting. We will slowly recover, and we will definitely be able to create a bigger Ming than Ming." Boat."

A follower asked in a low voice: "Bastian, Plantagenet...they haven't retreated yet!"

Bastian said: "That's why we came here after a narrow escape. The purpose is to see this great Ming. If it is strong, then Frank will try his best to become an ally. For the time being, understand?"
