The eight hundred and eighth chapter is a noble and a turtle

Chapter 808: A nobleman and a rustic man

Ibrahim no longer had any temper. From the day he set foot on the land of Xinghai City, he had not suffered such great humiliation, or the humiliation he thought he had thought. When he got off the ship, he brought sixteen guards and fifty servants. This imperial envoy who was rampant on three continents was not treated with any preferential treatment in Xinghai City.

I still remember that the most powerful warrior around me that day, after a blood hole was added to the forehead, the entire mission was taken down and locked up in a farm. Because Abdullah had pleaded for mercy and bribes, he did not receive much abuse, but just had a little higher consumption. Spending some money was not a big deal for him. He was angry that he had not seen an official from the Ming Empire after three months. What was even more angry was that his guards were found out because they went out to inquire about the news at night, and the soldiers who were custodians fired. After that, they were more strict with their custodians. If they were not convinced, they would shoot and kill people.

It was not until two months ago that a clerk came, and he invited them to pack their luggage, left the farm, and boarded the big ship with black smoke. He sailed intermittently on the sea, and during the period, he was moored in a port called Huating for ten days, but could not get off the boat. Then he walked for another ten days before he saw the final destination. After several months of destruction, Ibrahim was in tears. He, the Ottoman envoy, was nothing in the eyes of the Ming people. If his subordinates complained or were disturbed, the soldiers who were guarding him would shoot without hesitation. Sixteen guards were killed and eight injured in the past few months. The only thing that is gratifying is that the maids he brought were not harassed.

The loyal Abdullah has been following Ibrahim forever, which makes Ibrahim feel deeply relieved. This Arab businessman who used to be a dog has now become his confidant and will discuss anything with him.

There were troops waiting for them on the pier, and Ibrahim was already numb to everything he saw. The cranes were raised high, the hard pier that extended to the depths of the sea, and the masts in the port, the motorcycles squirting black smoke, etc.

Wearing a straight light black uniform, each soldier looked particularly energetic and handsome. He looked obviously different from the clothes of other soldiers. Even the temperament of these soldiers gave Ibrahim the same feeling. The murderous aura in these people's eyes was very high. At first glance, they were elites crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and they were elites among the elites. Their weapons were also different. From the outside, they could only see the daggers on the shoe drum.

The young officer Wang Rui stood on the dock. Looking at the envoy from thousands of miles away, his disdain flashed by. Wang Rui, who inherited his father's business, did not see that he had fought in the jungle of Nanyang for five years. After systematic military education and training, he proved himself in the battle. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to wear this black eagle uniform that symbolized the most elite soldier in the army.

"Black Hawk" is a code name, belonging to the most mysterious unit in the army. Only the elite in this unit are qualified to appear in Chen Xie's sergeant team, and it depends on luck. In that test a year ago, if it weren't for the small negligence of the "Shadow Guard" in the last moment, Wang Rui would be the target of being eliminated.

Even so, after entering the attendant's room, Wang Rui would not tell anyone that his father was Wang Qinian.

The people in the mission finally got off the boat and were completely beaten to the point of being completely beaten. At this moment, they stood silently together waiting for the verdict. They praised the leather boots on the concrete floor and made the people rub their ears sore. (Note: I ordered iron sheets on the soles of the shoe to save the friction of the shoe. This was very popular in the early 1990s.)

"Are they all?" After glanced at the Marine Corps lieutenant responsible for escorting, he got a clear answer. After signing a document, Wang Rui turned around and said lightly: "Get on the car!" The group of people, including Abdullah, got on the four-wheeled carriage waiting here, and left the dock and turned a corner. In less than ten minutes, the carriage stopped.

From the window, Ibrahim and Abdullah were observing. They saw a train parked in the station, and there were soldiers standing with guns a few steps away. When they got off the train, Wang Rui stood in front of Ibrahim and finally saw his smile. He also said with a warm sentence: "Welcome the Ottoman envoy to the Ming Dynasty. Because you were secretly sneaking in, you have to treat it specially. There is no possibility of leaking news here. You all get on the train and can rest for a day and a night."

Although I still don’t understand the meaning, I can feel that the treatment is changing. After following a soldier approaching a car, Ibrahim finally got a feeling of a special envoy. The soldier who led the way smiled and took Ibrahim in and said with a smile: “Let’s rest on the sofa first. Your servant is here. I have the obligation to teach them to use the home decoration here.”

Ibrahim, who had suffered a lot, had just recovered his feelings as an old man and immediately returned to his essence. Although seeing that everything in the car was fresh, he still waved his hands very pretentiously and said, "No need, my servants are all specially trained." After hearing the meaning of the translation, the soldier shrugged and smiled, "Then let it be. If you have any questions, you can press this red switch."

After saying that, the soldier left very simply, and the disdain in his eyes could be felt by everyone. Ibrahim had not lost his mind yet, so he immediately added: "Wait, I can only live in this room, there are only three or five people. How can I stay there with so many servants?" The soldier kept a polite smile and said, "Your servant lives in the carriage next door. If you need someone to serve him closely, there is a big bed in the compartment behind the small door and a complete living facility. It is more than enough to sleep with three people. It is really not possible. The outer room is covered with carpets."

The soldiers leading the way left very simply. Ibrahim felt that he had been neglected, but he dared not speak out, so he watched him walk away. After waiting for a while, the housekeeper Rahim came in with four slaves. Seeing Ibrahim sulking on the couch, he immediately knelt down and said, "Great Master, we are allowed to serve you to rest."

Dingling, the phone ringing on the huge desk alarmed Ibrahim and his entourage. No one dared to touch the phone. Who knows what the hell is? At the critical moment, Ibrahim rang out the words to receive the soldiers, reached out to press the red button on the edge of the sofa. In just one minute, the young soldier appeared at the door. He ignored the four maids with thin waists but veiled faces. He walked straight to the desk. After picking up the phone, he heard Wang Rui's voice inside: "Is that rustic guy scared? Tell him that there will be a welcome banquet in the evening, and Mr. Wozi came forward to receive him. Well, that's it."

Ibrahim saw it very clearly, and the soldier stood upright and said, "I understand!" After translating with his translation in time, he saw the soldier turn around and look at the expression on his wrist and said, "It's ten o'clock in the morning. I suggest that the envoy take a shower, eat something and have a sleep. There is a banquet that must be attended in the evening. There is nothing else, can I leave?"

A small soldier was so arrogant. In the past, Ibrahim would definitely chop this guy into meat sauce and feed the dogs. But since he entered the Ming Dynasty's territorial waters, he finally understood that the territory of this empire was no smaller than that of the Ottoman Empire. The combat effectiveness of the army was much higher. If it could have the same population as the Ottoman Empire,...

Thinking of this, Ibrahim subconsciously asked: "How many people are there in the Ming Empire?"

Unexpectedly, Ibrahim would ask this question. The soldier was obviously stunned and thought for a moment: "I am not very clear. The local population of the Ming Empire should be more than 100 million, and the population of overseas territories is not very clear. There are always 70 to 80 million, right?"

When I heard the translation say 100 million, Ibrahim's legs couldn't stand firm, and suddenly lost his strength and sat on the sofa. The little 200-jin body slammed heavily on the soft mat and thudded. When the Ottoman Empire had the largest population, it was less than 50 million. I told him here that just one local area had a population of 100 million, which was such a scary number. In this era, population is an extremely important symbol of strength.

After a while, the guy recovered. The soldiers had already gone out. Ibrahim, who stood up, twisted his thighs hard and finally got energetic. He stood up and said with a serious expression: "Go and prepare for bathing." He was thinking in his heart that he wanted to change his mindset. This empire is very powerful, unexpectedly powerful. Between the two powerful empires, there are thousands of mountains and rivers. This is the luck of the Ottoman Empire and also an unfortunate thing. The reason is very simple. The Ming Empire has strong maritime power and enough army.

When I approached the door and saw a big bed, Ibrahim felt much better. He reached out and pressed it and smiled, "This is a quilt made of velvet. It seems that the Ming Empire did not mean to be negligent." After finding a long-faced place for himself, he walked to the bathroom door and fell silent when he opened the door. A huge floor-to-ground mirror showed an ugly fat man in a tiny bit. With such a mirror, there was no way that the entire Ottoman Empire could find one?

The white bathtub, golden spray heads and faucet switches, rose petals in the bamboo basket, white soap in the exquisite wooden box, and ceramic toilets. Except for rose petals and soap, everything else was seen before, and everything was so strange.

This feeling of Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden was really bad. He knew that this was a place to take a bath, and when he saw the four maids mercilessly for a long time, Ibrahim's last bit of arrogance was worn out. He coughed and said, "The nobles of the Ottoman Empire must maintain the dignity of the empire at any time. Go and press the red button." (To be continued.)
