Chapter 563: The Power of the Celestial Dynasty

Everything is small!

If Zhu Mingzhong had to describe Japan, there might be nothing more appropriate than this sentence. Not only are the people here short, the houses are also low, the streets are also narrow, and of course the city is also very narrow.

Small!

Perhaps it is the most appropriate noun to describe Japan.

"It should be possible to leave here soon..."

Unlike other people who are happy to be in Shu, Zhu Mingzhong has always been eager to leave here as soon as possible. Although Japanese women have a lot of affection and gentleness, for him who is focused on his career, leaving here is the most important thing.

"Now that the special envoy is being sent in China, it should be almost time to return home!"

When Zhu Mingzhong was full of expectations for returning to China, the cruiser "Linyi" entered Kagoshima Bay, anchored the coastal areas of Tanyama Township, 14 miles south of Kagoshima Town, and finally anchored about two miles from the "Foreign Marabashi" near Kagoshima Town. After obtaining the Japanese consent, Deng Houchun and his party sailed to the shore on a landing craft.

While the landing craft was heading towards the shore, Deng Houchun said to the photographer with a serious expression.

"You want to take pictures of everything we see, and it will be extremely precious information anyway. After all, this may be the last museum of human civilization two hundred years ago."

Perhaps because Japan belongs to the Chinese cultural circle, Deng Houchun is willing to call it "part of civilization". Even if its civilization is far behind the world, it is still part of civilization, unlike when treating other countries, it is directly called "barbarians". Perhaps, this difference in mentality directly leads Deng Houchun to have a special emotion towards Japan - closer.

But that's all.

"Oh, that's the Ming Dynasty's warship!"

Among the crowded passers-by on the beach, Okupo Rito stood there with his eyes wide open and looked at the warship in the distance.

"I heard that warships are made of steel!"

As soon as Saigo Takamori finished speaking, Yoshii Tomomi retorted.

"How is this possible? How could steel float on the water."

"Why can't it be? Steel can fly into the sky!"

Taxun said casually, and then he stared at the warships in the bay.

"The Celestial Empire is a country that is really admirable. It can actually build such a large warship. I heard that it can razed a city to the ground with just one shot, right? Xixiang."

"That's what Li Jun said. He said that decades ago, the navy's combat ships had shelled the barbarians in the city. When the shelling ended, the entire city was razed to the ground and no one survived..."

"No wonder the vassal lord is so cautious. After all, we are facing the Heavenly Kingdom!"

Arima Shinqi said something from the side.

"Don't say that the Celestial Empire has such a powerful warship, even if the Celestial Empire's messenger comes, it will only require the shogun to greet him personally. The vassal lord welcomes him, oh, it's really rude."

"Yes, he is an envoy of the Celestial Empire!"

Idizhi Masaji and others talked about the special identity of the envoy. They were all fellow villagers and friends of the Satsuma family and often discussed the political situation inside and outside the vassal. In recent days, they have been discussing the Celestial Empire, discussing planes, warships, and everything else all day long.

Even when Xixiang was holding a pictorial magazine brought from Li Pu, they looked at the world in the pictorial with greed and longing - it was a world that was completely different from their cognition.

In the pictorial, they saw the heroic posture of athletes from all over the Xia countries at the Zhuxia Games, and also saw the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty. Skyscrapers, TVs, telephones, electric lights... Everything is far beyond their imagination. Facing the prosperous city and modern life in the pictorial, they feel a brand new world. They are also full of yearning for that world.

Of course, unlike another time and space, they did not show hostility when they visited the Satsuma clan in the face of the Celestial Empire. After all, for thousands of years, they had been used to the Ming Dynasty and the Celestial Empire. Even to a certain extent, when they learned that the "flying whale" and the "giant whale" were the aircraft and giant ships of the Celestial Empire, they breathed a sigh of relief. After all, at least this was still a familiar existence.

"Tell everyone that you can't be negligent about the special envoys of the Celestial Empire."

Once again, Shimazu Shimazu Kibin, as the vassal lord, solemnly reminded everyone.

"This is the envoy of the Celestial Empire!"

The envoy of the Celestial Empire was a higher existence than the shogun and emperor in Edo, and he must not be neglected at all. Moreover, he also tried to use the special envoys of the Celestial Empire to further understand the outside world.

"Look, do the ships of the Celestial Empire need sails!"

Looking at the landing ship heading to the shore, people said curiously. As people on the shore were watching, the landing craft that could take dozens of people was sailing towards the shore. On the mechanic gun tower next to it, the navy sailors were operating mechanic guns and looking at the Japanese on the shore vigil, but when they looked at the Japanese on the shore wearing armor and Japanese swords on the shore, he couldn't help laughing out loud and muttering softly.

"It feels like it was two hundred years ago."

Curiosity about this strange country is also accompanied by fear. After all, this is the legendary "epidemic area". However, for Song Yunye, a soldier, he, like his comrades-in-arms, was still escorted the envoy to this country without hesitation.

Unlike other people who couldn't see the shore on the high side of the landing craft, standing on the box, he used an 18mm camera to capture everything he saw in front of him - the bay was full of primitive and backward wooden boats, the city in the distance was gray, and Japanese samurai were lined up on the coast. Black flags were flying on the beach, and thousands of civilians in the distance were crowded on the coast, looking at the here curiously.

"This is Japan..."

When Song Yunye used a camera to shoot all this, the pilot of the landing craft shouted loudly.

"Hold the handrail tightly and prepare to grab the beach!"

With his roar, the people in the cabin grabbed the handrails one after another. Deng Houchun, who had served in the navy, felt particularly friendly to all this. After all, he was also a Marine.

Finally, the landing craft was snatched to the beach head under the gaze of the Japanese!

"What are they doing?"

The scene of the landing craft "hit" on the beach made everyone startled. Then they saw the cabin door open, and then they saw the people in the cabin. In addition to some soldiers, there was also an official wearing a magenta Ming official robe. Obviously, that was the special envoy of the Celestial Dynasty.

Seeing the special envoy of the Celestial Dynasty appear, Shimazu Qibin, the vassal lord, hurriedly led the officials in the vassal to meet the place. When the Japanese came, Deng Houchun stood there motionlessly. As the earl of the Ming Dynasty, even if he came in his private capacity, his status was far beyond the level of the vassal lord.

"The minister of the country, Shimazu Kibin, met with the special envoy of the Celestial Dynasty and welcomed the special envoy of the Celestial Dynasty..."

On the beach, Shimazu Kibi kneeled respectfully, completely to welcome the arrival of the special envoy with the general's gift. This treatment is obviously not something that the British in another world can enjoy, and it is not even something that the Qing Dynasty can enjoy. This status was completely achieved by the Ming Dynasty in North Korea during the Wanli period.

Looking at everything in front of him, Zhu Mingzhong suddenly sighed that to a certain extent, its expansion was also due to the fact that the Ming Dynasty established prestige around it over the past few hundred years, at least to a certain extent.

"Shimazu lord, no gift!"

It was not until Shimazu Kibin gave a big gift that Deng Houchun walked off the boat with a bit arrogant. His every move fully reflected the arrogance of the angel. However, in the eyes of the Japanese, this just showed the other party's honor of identity.

Deng Houchun said after Shimazu Kibin and others stood up.

"This time, Benblah is to negotiate the return of refugees. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your protection and care for the passengers who died in the Celestial Empire..."

At this time, Deng Houchun was naturally talking about some of the most basic polite words. While speaking, he also noticed Zhu Mingzhong and others not far away. After being simple polite with Shimazu Qibin, he walked towards Zhu Mingzhong and others and asked.

"You guys are all okay,"

"Thank you for your concern, I just don't know when I can go home!"

Although I am a little happy, who can not miss home?

"Please rest assured. I'm here this time to pick you up and take you back home. Everyone just wait patiently."

Deng Houchun's words made Zhu Mingzhong hear what was meant.

"Enter Deng, when can we return home?"

"As soon as possible, as soon as possible!"

Deng Houchun smiled and changed the topic.

"You must be the brave robber and Mr. Zhu who took back the plane! You don't know that now everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows your righteous deeds. You are so young and have the courage to be loyal. It's really rare, very rare..."

While praising him, Deng Houchun looked at him again. On the phone call from the palace, he specifically told him that he must confirm Zhu Minghe's safety. As for the reason... it is probably related to Zhu Minghe's identity. His umbrella company accepted the royal family's investment of over 100 million yuan. The actual interest connection made the royal family care about his safety.

"Now, many people in the Ming Dynasty have you mailed, and you will be able to go home soon. I can guarantee this."

When he said this promise, he always looked at Zhu Mingzhong, as if this sentence was said to him. Unlike the joy of others when they heard this sentence, Zhu Mingzhong, but Deng Houchun, could hear other meanings.

what is going on?

Of course, Zhu Mingzhong didn't know that it was because people were afraid of "rumors". For him, who was eager to return home, this reality made his mind sank.

It seems that it is not as simple as I imagined to return to the Ming Dynasty.
