Chapter 1944: A triumphant return
Become famous in one battle.
Zhu Houzhao's situation has improved a lot. At this time, he was full of confidence and ambitious. The map of Istanbul was always hanging in his bedroom.
In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, this is the center of the world. Whoever occupied this place is the king of all kings.
He was even starting to plan his capital, but sometimes, when he saw Liu Jin with a resentful look on his face, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of his past and present life.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think in her heart, what happened to Yao'er? The queen must be worried now.
Ye Chunqiu, that guy, I don’t know what happened, but as long as he is there, I’m very relieved.
Many thoughts would quickly emerge in his heart, but these thoughts would soon pass away.
Zhu Houzhao understood very well that he had already reached this point and must not return empty-handed. His greatest wish in his life was to create great achievements that unprecedented in his predecessors, and now, these great achievements are right in front of him.
After taking over Istanbul, Zhu Houzhao had already chosen this new name, called Zhongdu, and he was going to build a great city here.
At this time, he couldn't help but start to feel expectation. He was looking forward to what it would be like when Ye Chunqiu knew that he had done such a big thing and conquered half of the world with just one fleet.
He must be very impressed and his admiration is beyond words.
Thinking about the scenes he had expected in his mind, Zhu Houzhao smiled happily.
He sat on the chair. The chair here made him feel a little uncomfortable. Liu Jin carefully presented him with tea. The tea reserves in the fleet were getting smaller and smaller, so when Liu Jin poured tea, he deliberately placed a little less.
How can I live without tea? And compared to the fragrant rice, Liu Jin wished to throw away this hard thing like a stone. Fortunately, he could make some mutton soup to satisfy his cravings.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao taking a sip of tea, Liu Jin couldn't help swallowing and spitting. Since the tea was exhausted, the remaining tea was only available for His Majesty. Calculate the days, he had not eaten tea for two months, and he couldn't help swallowing. He couldn't stand this tea addiction.
This is all the suffering brought by this ghost place!
"Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will sue you." Liu Jin couldn't bear to continue watching. When he smelled the fragrance of tea, he felt a lot of claws in his heart, and he couldn't help but start to resentment in his heart, so he simply didn't see it.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and curled her lips and said, "From the future, let's talk about slaves, you are already a Duke of Rome, my minister, and you will not be a slave in the future. I will be invaded Istanbul in some more days. After taking it, my wish will be half fulfilled."
Liu Jin widened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, why are you only half of it? Didn't you agree that we can go home after taking it down there?"
Going home... for Liu Jin, it is really too tempting.
Zhu Houzhao showed a mysterious look and said, "Of course we have to go home, but we are going back to our hometown and take Istanbul, we have to cross the strait. The Ottoman is a centipede, and it will not be stiff. After the Ottoman, there are Persia, and after Persia, and other countries along the land route. Let's fight all the way back. You are right to follow me to the east. I have already thought about it. Let's kill from Istanbul to the Hot Spring Pass. From there, we can reach Qinglong and then from Qinglong to Shanhaiguan, we can probably return in triumph."
"However, our ammunition reserves are not much. I am afraid that the current ammunition reserves may not be as good as Istanbul. In the future, wars will not be so easy. But this is not important. Now our morale is like a rainbow, and the Ottomans have been shocked and panic like a broken dog. At that time, I will order the Franchises and horses to take the lead and use a small number of artillery to cover Istanbul. The chance of taking down Istanbul will be extremely high."
Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes, her eyes shining with a brilliant light, and said, "I want to crown me here, let the Pope and the Orthodox Grandmaster, all crown me. From then on, I will be truly the king of all kings."
Zhu Houzhao depicted his beautiful prospects with great enthusiasm, but Liu Jin was in tears. His heart began to hurt again, and his body had already fallen to the ground, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I... I..."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand impatiently and said, "You are crying again, just follow me well, that's it. You go out, I want to be quiet."
He said, then stood up and turned around.
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao's back, which was not looking back, and had to endure the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes and walked out in a daze.
This duke's fortress is entrenched on the hillside, but from here you can see that there are countless military camps at the foot of the mountain. The armies of various countries gather together. On the tents, dragon flags are flying, and there are also the clan emblems of various monarchs and the royal flags of various countries.
Everyone uses different languages to each other. It would be fine if they were nobles. They had learned Latin from each other, but if they were ordinary knights and soldiers, they had to control the local language from all over the country, and there would occasionally be some fighting. However, it was very tacit that no one would provoke the people of the Ming Navy, whether they were Bavarians, Saxons, or Venetians.
In the eyes of everyone, these "Jerusalem" people are mysterious. They have no way to understand many living habits. Even language is left to them. They have a sense of awe of the "Jerusalem" people. Therefore, when everyone passes their camp, they are much more polite. Even drunks who are drunk will become more cautious.
Liu Jin, who looked lonely, returned to the camp. At this time, lambs were roasting in the camp. This was the spoils they had harvested. These Qiu Ba were happily setting up bonfires and laughing happily from time to time.
Liu Jin was lonely. Looking at the laughing Qiu Ba, he seemed out of place.
It's ridiculous to say that he, the thorn in the eyes of Qingliu in the Ming Dynasty, has now become familiar with some civil servants who came with the fleet.
These civil servants are all "brush officials" in the fleet, responsible for transmitting documents and supervising various ships, but once they leave the sea, they will soon be marginalized.
