My Daming New Empire

In the Holy Roman Empire, where they faced each other, although a new Roman emperor had been elected, after decades without an emperor, it was impossible for the emperor to gather power.

The new Roman emperor Sigismund executed the theologian Hus in the Constance Synod, triggering the 14-year Hussite war in Czech.

Now that the war has broken out, Sigismund has been leading the war in the Czech Republic without even caring about his home base, Hungary.

Without the help of the Holy Roman Empire, if a small Papal State still wants to fight against Ming Dynasty, it is only asking for death.

Zhu Zhanji may not care, but none of his subordinates dare to be careless.

As long as Zhu Zhanji has an accident, they can only die.Unless they stay in Europe and never go back to Ming Dynasty.

For several days in a row, Zhu Zhanji took his concubines touring around, but they were intensively learning about the information of the Papal State and making countermeasures.

When Zhu Zhanji left Pisa and was about to go to Rome, the layout of the entire fleet had been completed.No matter who it is, it is impossible to hurt Zhu Zhanji.

From Pisa to the sea off Rome, it is almost [-] kilometers.There is a northwest wind blowing in Europe today, and if you want to go to Rome, you can get there in two days with smooth wind and water.

When Zhu Zhanji's fleet arrived in Ostia off the coast of Rome, the entire Italian peninsula had the first snow this winter.

The first to enter the Tevere River was the young army and the former army of the servants. They made a second contact with the outreach personnel sent by the Papal State, and arranged Zhu Zhanji's itinerary accurately to every hour.

What's more important is Zhu Zhanji's guard of honor and the camping of the army. Many issues cannot be determined by empty words.

But when the fleet arrived, everything became clear, and the arrangement of each step was determined in turn.

Zhu Zhanji's flagship entered the Tevere River, which seemed to be a natural process, but it was arranged through the concerted efforts of hundreds of people.

Rome is only 30 kilometers away from the sea, but it takes more than [-] kilometers to sail from the Tevere River.

Zhu Zhanji has many guards of honor, of course it is more convenient to enter from the river.

Because someone wanted to assassinate Zhu Zhanji's intelligence, the former military personnel did not dare to be careless. Before Zhu Zhanji's ship arrived, they not only interrupted the voyage of the merchant ship, but even brought a few large trawl nets to transport all the people in the river. All kinds of floating objects were salvaged, and there were special personnel to protect them at intervals.

Below Rome, the channel of the Tevere River is basically more than 50 meters wide. Although it is the dry season, the water depth is about five meters.

In addition to the large treasure ships, first-class warships and second-class warships can travel directly to St. Paul's Basilica on the southern outskirts of Rome through the river.

Zhu Zhanji's flagship was replaced by a first-class warship, and various national flags and dragon flags on the ship fluttered in the northwest wind.

This large fleet from a foreign land has also attracted the attention of the local people. By the river, many people can be seen watching the excitement.

Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting in the cabin, saw this scene from the window and couldn't help but asked Zheng He with a smile: "If the enemy wants to attack, where do you think they will do it from?"

Zheng He was not as relaxed as Zhu Zhanji. He tensed his face and said, "After your Highness lands, I am afraid that important precautions will be required during the journey to Rome."

"I hope they don't disappoint Gu, at least the scene should be bigger..."

Thank you for seeing people with lights, book friend 20181020220348635, I spit on you, thank you for the reward of bamboo sticks, thank you for your support

Chapter 60 Layout

The two brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Wu arrived in Rome as the first contact persons one month before Zhu Zhanji arrived.

During this month, they conducted inspections in the major markets in and around Rome for the purpose of trade inspections.

Of course, trade inspections are not their business. Their task is to familiarize themselves with every street in Rome and draw the most detailed topographic maps and city maps.

Before seeing Rome, Zhang Wei and Zhang Wu were no different from other Ming soldiers, always thinking that the whole of Europe was a barbaric land, dirty and backward.

But when he came to the city of Rome, he realized that there used to be an advanced civilization in this barbaric land.

The people here are very poor and dirty, wearing clothes like sacks, and they smell so bad that people can cover their noses. Even those women, all of them smell so bad that people can't be interested.

Only some soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who liked plump and strong women tried the taste of women here even if they pinched their noses.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Wu are also in this ranks, not to mention, if it wasn't for the stench on their bodies, the women here are extremely plump, and they are more open in bed than the women of Ming Dynasty, so they have a lot of fun.

The nearly [-] servants and [-] soldiers of the Yulin Guard School who arrived in advance quickly won the favor of all the women in the city with their generosity.

The currency in Rome is very confusing. They have been here for a month, but they still don’t know the currency here. Only those servants who specialize in trade, because they specialize in this, can basically figure out that there are more than sixty types of currency in Rome today. Currency, and some ancient currency in circulation, there are more than one hundred kinds of currency in circulation in the entire market.

However, although there are many types of currency here, the main ones are gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins.

In Zhang Wei's opinion, any currency here is crudely made, and compared with Daming's exquisite gold, silver and copper coins, it is far worse in terms of material and style.

In Nanyang, apart from the expensive silver coins, the value of gold coins and copper coins was not high. The cost of finding a few girls was basically [-] copper coins, which was equivalent to the salary of an ordinary soldier for a day.

Later in India, the cost of finding a few women was similar, only in Marin, because the local nobles sent many female prisoners of war to Ming soldiers, so the cost was lower.

After arriving in Rome, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty still used their own experience to bring some fifty copper coins with them as a fee for finding women.

But they don't know that there are relatively few precious metals here in Europe, and their copper coins, which are almost all copper and have exquisite styles, immediately received great favor.

When the locals could find a woman with a dozen coppers, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty became generous.

As long as those few women received a Ming soldier, they could manage their lives for several days. They were all overjoyed, and they all stood outside Daming's barracks, wanting to do their business.

They quickly figured out that there were two types of Daming people who came. One type had no beards on their faces. They seemed to be eunuchs and had no interest in women.

But Ming soldiers in military uniforms can basically negotiate business as long as they are not bad in appearance.

In order to attract Ming soldiers, they had to wash their bodies with hot water and sprinkle cheap perfume on their bodies in this cold season.

They seem to care more about whether a woman is clean than her beautiful appearance.

Although there was a language barrier, these women became the first Europeans to cater to Ming soldiers because of the benefits.

Although they are in a gentle town, all the soldiers are very clear about their responsibilities. During the day, they did not dare to delay the assigned tasks. In a month's time, they had a clear view of the Roman city, including the surrounding environment, and The most detailed map ever produced.

When Zhu Zhanji was about to arrive, everyone's nerves became more tense.They have also heard a lot of rumors during this period. Although the Pope has decided to welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of Daming with a national ceremony, because of Daming's blasphemy, many people want to assassinate this heretic who has no faith.

A month ago, since King João I of Portugal arrived in Rome, his conversations with several bishops were leaked.

When many people heard that the status of the emperor of Ming Dynasty was higher than that of the gods of religion, they were all excited.

The Papal State and the Holy Roman Empire have been fighting for power for hundreds of years. Even when the imperial power is higher than the divine power, they still have to be canonized by the Pope in name.

But this Ming Dynasty is a real heretic.

It's just that the Ming fleet first defeated Portugal, and then defeated the fleet of Eastern Rome and their greatest enemy Ottoman, which made many people not dare to directly embarrass the Ming soldiers.

But secretly, their conspiracy seems to be more.

Zhang Wei knew very well that the glory of his family was tied to Zhu Zhanji, so he didn't dare to be careless, and closely monitored the area he was in charge of, so that no mistakes could be made.

This afternoon, although the sky began to snow, he still led a team of soldiers to patrol the six-mile-long area he was in charge of.

After the 300 soldiers of the Habayashi Guards drew the map of Rome, except for the [-] soldiers who had to guard the servants, the remaining [-] people were arranged on the nearly [-]-mile road from the outside of Rome to the Pope's Palace.
