Fang Zhengyi looked at King Wu indifferently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to force me. I am not soft at all, but my bones are hard... my corpus cavernosum is also hard."
Realizing that his wording was problematic, Fang Zhengyi quickly added a sentence.
Rigorousness has always been one of his strengths.
The King of Wu frowned and said, "I have dined with you several times to try to win you over, but you have refused in every word. Now that you have been captured by me, you still don't know how to behave. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Then kill him."
The King of Wu laughed angrily: "Okay, I will kill your subordinate first, come here!"
"Wait a minute! Prince, even if you let me recognize you as the emperor, you have to give me some time to accept it. I've only been here for one day! You're trying to force me to accept your position!"
"And even if I go overseas with you, you have to leave one or two people with me!"
Fang Zhengyi quickly interrupted, fearing that Zhou Tie would be left hanging.
A person like the King of Wu would most likely kill anyone who was of no use to him.
Seeing Fang Zhengyi's attitude soften, King Wu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, you do have some truth in what you said."
"It is true that I was too impatient. Once we are overseas, there will be plenty of time for us to be king and subject."
Oh, Pu Xinnan! What monarch and minister?
He is far worse than a future father-in-law, and has no human touch at all.
Fang Zhengyi secretly despised him in his heart and said, "Your Highness, according to what you said before, only two of the five fleets returned. Isn't this a very risky trip for us? What if we die on the way?"
The King of Wu replied, "Yes, the risk of going to sea is indeed great. Each of my fleets has more than 40 ships, and even the two fleets that successfully returned only had more than 20 ships left."
"Since those merchant ships came back, I have been investing a large sum of money to recruit skilled craftsmen to make improvements. The ship under our feet is a new ship after the improvements."
\"It is 245 feet long and 103 feet wide! Such a huge ship is unique in Dajing! I believe it is the best merchant ship in the world, and it can be used as a warship. So there is no need to worry about the crisis at sea, and you can rest assured about your safety! \"
The King of Wu had a proud look on his face, and was obviously full of confidence in this giant ship.
Fang Zheng didn't care and even sneered at it.
Twenty-four feet, it is indeed not small! But to say that it can withstand the storms that may occur in the open ocean is too arrogant and greatly underestimates the dangers at sea.
This ship is still somewhat inferior to Zheng He's treasure ship in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
He remembered that the last ship that dared to brag like this was Titanic...
What was the Titanic equipped with? It was pure modern technology, nearly 300 meters long, made entirely of steel, with advanced construction and steam-driven.
So what? It still sank. Even though it hit an iceberg, who knows how many dangers there are in the vast ocean?
This isn't Earth. If a sea monster emerges from the sea, it wouldn't be strange if Cthulhu or something like that appeared...
Speaking of sea vessels, the King of Wu began to talk endlessly again: "I have spent countless money and ordered people to search for the best shipbuilding craftsmen from all over the country. There are more than a thousand of them! The cost of building this ship is more than seven thousand taels."
"It's a pity that I can't do anything in public. Everything I do has to be more expensive than others. If it were the imperial court, four or five thousand taels would be enough."
"We have two more ships of the same type outside, and a smaller fleet is waiting for us at the next location. With so many ships escorting us along the way, are you still worried about safety?"
Fang Zhengyi asked, "Has your highness' shipbuilding been so ostentatious that no one has discovered it?"
The King of Wu laughed and said, "I didn't show up in person. As long as you give enough money, who would care about these things?"
"Eighty miles east of here there is a city called Yuding. There is a family in the city that has been engaged in shipbuilding for generations. I can borrow their status and use money to smooth things over with the government, and naturally things will go smoothly."
"Okay, Your Majesty has made thorough preparations. But even so, what about going overseas? Where are we going? How do we stay?"
The King of Wu suddenly stood up, and the other party waved his hand: "Follow me, I will show you something."
Fang Zhengyi didn't understand what was going on. They had been chatting for a long time but he hadn't even eaten a few bites!
He quickly took a bite of the meat and followed.
Immediately afterwards, the King of Wu moved to a new room again.
As soon as the door opened, he could see all kinds of items piled up everywhere. Fang Zheng looked carefully and found candlesticks, tableware, and oil paintings... They looked a bit like those Western artworks from his previous life, but not exactly like them. What was certain was that the style of these things was definitely not Dajing's items.
King Wu stepped into the house and said as he walked: "These are the items I collected from overseas. These items are very different from those unique to Dajing. You can take a look at them."
Not far into the house, King Wu walked to a shelf, picked up a sheepskin scroll, and handed it to Fang Zhengyi.
"This item was also found overseas. It is said to be a map of this world. Although the things inside are drawn in a mess, some parts should be quite accurate."
At this moment, Fang Zhengyi suddenly felt a little excited.
The world map of this world? He has not seen the whole picture of this world! Is there any country capable of drawing a world map now! ?
He quickly reached out to take it, but was soon disappointed as soon as he unfolded it.
This picture is really a mess and makes no sense!
Judging from the map, it is obvious that Westerners today are very ignorant. It is also possible that the version collected by King Wu is too old and too poor. The overall boundary of this map is actually a square. The painting is very delicate and is depicted using sketches.
