My Daming New Empire

It is winter now, and panes are installed on the outside of the dragon chariot, and two layers of silk are arranged inside.

Silk is more resistant to bullets than most cotton and linen cloths. Zhu Zhanji also wears an inner armor inside the dragon robe.

The dragon chariot marched towards Rome along the ancient road of Ostiense, which was more than 20 meters wide. The dragon chariot was surrounded by guards guarding the dragon chariot.

This ancient Via Ostiense is the widest road in Rome, which can go all the way to the ancient city of Rome.

All the way was safe and sound, and the car arrived at the Notre Dame Cathedral at the foot of Paladino Hill.

This is the gate of the capital of ancient Rome, and the Notre Dame Cathedral in Greece is unknown, but a Roman holiday has let countless people know the mouth of truth here.

From here you will pass the Paladino Bridge, cross the Tevere River and enter the city of Rome.Also starting from this bridge, the road narrows to only about ten meters.

The Ming soldiers did not dare to be sloppy at this time. When Zhu Zhanji's dragon chariot was crossing the river, more than [-] soldiers jumped into the icy river regardless of the snow, and re-checked the piers and gaps everywhere.

The dragon chariot crossed the river safely, but everyone's emotions became more tense.

After crossing the river, the road narrows, with the Tevere River on the right and residential houses on the left.If someone wants to assassinate, only this five-mile-long road is the most suitable. Except here, it is difficult for people to get close to Zhu Zhanji's dragon chariot.

Zhu Zhanji felt a little disappointed. If he just sent gunmen to assassinate himself, it would be difficult for even Daming's defense line to pass through.

Such a petty assassination made him a little embarrassed to set off a wave of revenge!

While listening to Chen Li's report, Zhu Zhanji thought about how to create opportunities for the other party in the future if there was no assassination today.

He used his body as bait, but in fact, a group of subordinates disagreed.However, because Zhu Zhanji insisted on coming to Rome, his subordinates could only follow the trend.

But if Zhu Zhanji wants to take risks to lure the assassin, no one will agree, and he will never give the assassin this chance.

It doesn't matter if you don't make a contribution once. If Zhu Zhanji is injured, then I don't know how many people will die. If Zhu Zhanji dies, their entire fleet will probably be buried with him.

When Zhu Zhanji was feeling sorry, he suddenly heard several gunshots, and it seemed to be the sound of Daming's musket.

The gunfire grew louder, but died away quickly.

After a while, Zhang Fengshan reported on Longchao Foreign Exchange: "Your Highness, an assassin was found at a window. But before the opponent had a chance to shoot, he was forced back by our soldiers with bullets. However, when we entered the house and captured him, the assassin Already shot himself."

Zhu Zhanji was very bored, waved his hand and said, "Don't be affected, move on."

(I was scolded by readers, and there will be fewer historical introductions in the future, but some historical figures will still be introduced. Thank you for understanding)

Thank you for seeing people with lights, small stones, and bamboo sticks for your rewards, thank you for your support

Chapter 61 Meeting Ceremony

Looking at the assassination incidents that have occurred in history, when relying on force to gain an advantage, in fact, there are those types that have been repeated over and over again.

Assassination with cold weapons, poisoning, assassination by gunmen, and then large-scale blasting after the large-scale application of explosives.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji hoped that the other party could carry out a large-scale explosion, which would cause a greater sensation, and if the Ming army suffered casualties, it would naturally be possible to retaliate on a large scale.

But if only relying on gunmen to snipe and not cause major casualties, then large-scale retaliation seems a bit excessive.

But he didn't think about it, even with their layout, Chen Li didn't dare to let the other party bury the explosives where he must pass, no matter how many heads he had.

The assassination did not cause any disturbance to the long convoy. The people in the back team didn't even hear the gunshots, and they didn't even know that the assassination happened in front.

Even Zhu Zhanji didn't see the sad gunman, and the whole team arrived at the intersection connecting the east side of the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo according to the predetermined rhythm.

Headed by Martin V, hundreds of bishops and ascetic monks in solemn robes lined up here to welcome them.

However, only seven cardinals came, except for three who were not in Rome, and two who did not show up for unknown reasons.

From here, Zhu Zhanji will be separated from his large army. Most of his wives and followers will go directly to Castel Sant'Angelo. Only [-] followers and [-] guards will enter the Vatican with him.

Now there is actually no such thing as the Vatican. The Vatican does not refer to a country or a region, but just a palace.

Today's Rome, including tens of thousands of square kilometers of land in the central part of the Italian peninsula, all belong to the Papal State.

It was not until the nineteenth century that Italy became a united country that the Holy See retreated to the Vatican.

Zhu Zhanji is not familiar with other places in Rome. Later generations came to Rome and only glanced at the ruins of ancient Rome, and he had never even been to the Vatican.

Still, he had heard of the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo.

His dragon chariot stopped at the intersection of Concord Avenue in the later generations, and so many big figures from the Pope and the Papal Kingdom came to greet them in person. Even though Zhu Zhanji looked down on these moths from the bottom of his heart, he also knew that they represented the top part of Europe in this era .

Today's Europe is in the darkest period. The entire Papal State is extravagant and corrupt, and everyone knows it, so there is no need to cover it up.

It is not legal for the pope and bishops to marry wives, but each of them has more than one wife, and has countless illegitimate children, many of whom have become princes.

Even after a period of time, a pope disclosed his illegitimate son and won the title of duke for his illegitimate son.

And within the Holy See, almost every monastery will specially train beautiful and young nuns for the enjoyment of these big men.

But no matter how chaotic their private life is and how poor their moral character is, their ability should not be underestimated.

The entire bottom of Europe is extremely ignorant, but they can gradually develop in this era and become the controllers of the world, relying on these people cultivated by their elite education.

Before arriving at the intersection, Chen Li, Zheng He and the others, who were called by Zhu Zhanji to talk on the dragon carriage, had already got off the car.Only Zhu Zhanji was left on the dragon chariot, Yi Qingzi and Xuan Cheng were the personal guards, and Li Liang and Liu Wan were the two personal servants.

At this time, Li Liang and Liu Wan also forgot the contradictions between each other. They helped Zhu Zhanji lift the silk curtain of the dragon chariot, their eyes were fixed on one side, their bodies tensed up, and they were ready to replace Zhu Zhanji. Zhanji prepares to block the gun.

They know very well that if there is an assassination, this is the best time.

Xiehe Avenue is only more than 20 meters wide, and both sides are private properties of big shots.No matter how domineering Da Ming is, he can't drive them out and block this place.

Although they took the most careful precautions, it was too easy to hide two gunmen here.

Although they wear built-in plate armor, they are absolutely unwilling to be shot. Most of the current guns are shotguns. Who knows where the bullets will fly.

But it is their honor to block the gun for Zhu Zhanji.

Martin V and the others had been looking forward to Zhu Zhanji's appearance, but after the two eunuchs, two Taoist priests in Taoist robes appeared.

There seemed to be no one else in their eyes. They scanned the surrounding area and got off the dragon carriage first. Their eyes were only looking at the silk curtain that Li Liang and Liu Wan had opened.

Martin and the others finally saw a tall figure in a bright yellow uniform appearing at the door of the car.Although this figure is only averagely tall, it carries a natural intimidating aura, so that most people have a feeling of wanting to surrender when they see his stern gaze.

This is the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Empire!

From him, one can feel the background of the huge empire in the east, which is unmatched by any country in Europe.

Feora, who was hiding in the attic on the fifth floor of the Borghi family's mansion by the road, had been carefully looking out from the gap where he pulled out a wall brick.

He didn't dare to use the window to peek out. Before His Highness arrived, thousands of Ming soldiers were already on both sides of the road, only separated by a distance of one person, guarding both sides of the road.

They are not like the Europeans of this era, who only stared at the people on the street, but crossed in reverse, and the eyes of both sides were always fixed on the houses on both sides of the road.
