"Your Majesty, now that the distinguished guest has arrived, why don't you go meet him first and then test these new weapons more when you have time later." Fang Zhengyi reminded.
Li Yuanzhao looked at the Ming Dynasty's Type 66 submachine gun reluctantly.
He was born extremely sensitive to the use of firearms, and this kind of firearm could be considered the strongest in the world!
I feel a little uncomfortable throwing it away and doing other things before it's even warm in my hands.
However, national affairs are more important, so I will have to try again later.
"Well, I'll go and meet them first. But they come so suddenly, what should I say?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
Fang Zheng said, "This is not difficult. It's just a simple greeting, and I will handle it... That's all. If they have any questions for Your Majesty, Your Majesty can just answer them. If they don't want to answer, just say they have no comment."
"Okay, let's go."
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing." Fang Zhengyi stopped Li Yuanzhao, "Your Majesty, we are here with a large force, and the other side is already wary. We should treat us with a friendly and equal attitude. When we meet later, let's change the etiquette and talk while we walk."
......
Inside the main hall of the temple, several generals stood in the hall, admiring the decorations.
Each of them was specially assigned an interpreter.
Speaking of the Holy City, almost everyone among them has been there. In the past, high-ranking officials and nobles from various countries were honored to be able to go to the Temple Mount and be received by the Pope in person.
But this time, the situation has completely changed.
The old Pope is no longer here, and instead it is Pope Soljie and the people of Dajing who jointly rule the holy city.
When I returned to the old place, the world had changed and I felt a little sad.
After the generals sighed for a while, they gathered around Wu Sheng and started chatting with him enthusiastically.
The generals of various countries already knew something about Dajing.
It is said that the houses there are all built of gold, and wine and milk are flowing everywhere. It is a rich and beautiful place.
Although this statement is a bit ridiculous, through Wu Sheng we can get a glimpse of the overall picture.
It is impossible to have wine and honey flowing and houses built with gold. Only ordinary people would believe such exaggerated nonsense.
But there is no doubt that the people of Dajing are rich!
The people of Dajing are so good at playing. They built a boat and people don't want to get off after getting on it...
Wu Sheng was naturally familiar with this kind of situation and was able to handle it well.
After chatting for a while, General Mod of the Hero Kingdom said, "Master, on the way here I heard you say that there is another important person besides the emperor. Who is this person? Can you tell me now?"
Wu Sheng smiled faintly and said, "This man is the most important official of Dajing, Fang Zhengyi, the Marquis of Jianye. If the general can make friends with the Marquis, it will definitely be a happy event."
"Our Lord is the best at making friends. The friendly trade between Dajing and other countries today is facilitated by the Lord. My little ability is not worth mentioning in the Lord's eyes."
Mo De was slightly surprised and said, "Marquis Jianye's talent is even better than Master Wu's. What kind of person is he?"
"General, you will know later." Wu Sheng simply replied and hurried to deal with other people.
Not long after, a loud shout was heard from outside the hall.
"His Majesty has arrived!!"
Everyone in the hall stopped chatting and looked outside.
I saw a figure striding towards me, followed by many people.
Wu Sheng immediately stepped forward and bowed, "I am Wu Sheng, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"No need to be polite." Li Yuanzhao waved his hand casually, "Wu Sheng, since you generals are here, please introduce them to me first."
"yes."
Wu Sheng stood up, stood next to General Mod, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is General Mod of the Xiluo Kingdom."
After the translation finished, Maude was about to speak when Li Yuanzhao strode up to him.
He stretched out his right hand, grasped his left hand, and shook it vigorously twice.
"I have heard of General Moder's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary." Li Yuanzhao said cheerfully
Maud was stunned, looking at his right hand, a little confused.
What's going on? The emperor of Dajing came up and touched his hand. Is this some unique etiquette of Dajing?
He had some knowledge of the etiquette of the Dajing people, and Master Wu had also introduced it to them on the way here. Don't two people bow and clasp their fists when they meet?
Wu Sheng was a little surprised by Li Yuanzhao's action.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng immediately explained, "This handshake is a form of etiquette used when visiting foreign countries. Your Majesty is visiting the Holy City today to seek cooperation and develop friendship with other countries. A handshake symbolizes equality and friendship."
In the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, diplomat Fang Zhengyi invented the handshake etiquette.
Everyone present suddenly realized what was going on, and Wu Sheng looked at Fang Zheng with a hint of admiration.
This unexpected action must have been arranged by the Marquis.
I didn't expect that he could invent such a etiquette on the spur of the moment. It's really ingenious.
Simple physical contact is the perfect way to demonstrate equality and bring people closer together.
Wu Sheng continued to introduce them one by one, and General Mod unconsciously clenched his right hand.
It still feels a little subtle.
It was really... unexpected that Emperor Dajing, who was so noble, could treat him with such warmth and respect.
It still feels very comfortable.
After shaking hands one by one, all the generals present couldn't help but feel a little good about them.
I have never felt such respect and cordial treatment from my own emperor.
After Li Yuanzhao met everyone one by one, Fang Zhengyi began to step forward and shake hands with them and talk.
During this time, General Mod silently looked at Fang Zhengyi and the Jinyiwei who appeared around him.
The Marquis of Jianye gave people a very good impression. He was gentle and polite, and his words were as gentle as spring breeze, like an elegant poet.
But the soldiers in the room who came with Emperor Dajing were not simple.
They are all strong and sturdy. Just look at their thick arms and broad backs to know that they are very powerful.
Dajing's soldiers... sure enough, there's something!
After the simple greetings were over, Fang Zheng saw the opportunity and said, "Generals, you have come from afar. I wonder if you have already had your meal? If not, why not have a banquet here and we can chat while we eat?"
Wu Sheng echoed, "My Lord, the generals have come all the way here and indeed have not had their meals yet."
After the two of them talked about this, Li Yuanzhao also felt a little hungry.
I had a simple breakfast in the morning and then went to the parade ground to review the Jinyiwei and practice shooting. Now it's past morning and I feel hungry.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Yuanzhao waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, Wu Sheng, go ahead and do it. Then have someone bring some chairs up, and I'll have a few drinks with you generals."
Wu Sheng responded and was about to walk out.
Fang Zheng pulled him and whispered, "The food doesn't need to be too complicated. Everyone here is a soldier who leads troops to fight. You can take a Jinyiwei with you and make some of our food... that will be enough."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
