If the treasure ship, as tall as a city wall, brought awe to Champa, it would be a great awe in their hearts.

Such a well-organized army brought fear to Champa.

Most of these cavalrymen were from the Xuanjia Guards, and even the other elite troops were instructed by officers from the Xuanjia Guards.

Three thousand cavalry and seven thousand armored soldiers.

The shiny armor reflected a creepy light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"All troops, listen up! The dock is under martial law!"

After the assembly was completed, the leading cavalry commander gave a loud shout, and all the soldiers immediately formed teams of hundreds and spread out in all directions.

The soldiers who were charging like a charge frightened all the Champa people around them.

Especially the merchants on the Ming side, they knew very well that at this time, the soldiers did not distinguish between anyone. Anyone who dared to stand in their way would be killed immediately according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty.

The people of Champa had never seen such a scene before.

It was somewhat similar to Europe. Even here at the Champa King's place, there were people watching from more than ten meters away. And according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, no outsiders were allowed to approach within a hundred meters.

Faced with the influx of soldiers, the people of Champa could only retreat frantically.

The already crowded crowd suddenly became chaotic at this moment.

In such situations, people even start trampling on each other, and once they fall, there may be no chance of getting up.

The soldiers didn't care about that.

The dignity of the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to be violated in any way. Even if it is outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it must be carried out in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

When Cha Duo saw this scene, he immediately stood up from the throne and ordered his guards to evacuate the crowd.

These are not just the people of Champa, but also a large number of merchants from other countries. If there are too many casualties, it will be extremely troublesome for Champa.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!”

Seeing that the crowd was on the verge of getting completely out of control, the treasure ship near the dock suddenly opened fire.

The deafening roar covered everything, and the originally surging crowd suddenly stopped.

"The Moon Concubine has issued an order. The entire army must repeat it three times. Everyone must hold their heads and squat down!"

After the sound of artillery fire passed, a loud shout rang out on the treasure ship, and then all the soldiers who heard it shouted in unison: "Everyone hold your head and squat!!!"

Thirty thousand naval forces, plus ten thousand elite troops.

The shouts of 40,000 people spread Yue Fei's order throughout the entire dock.

Although the local language in Champa is different, many merchants who go to the Ming Dynasty are familiar with Chinese. They immediately squatted down with their heads in their hands.

Even the Champa people who could not understand what was being said would naturally follow suit when they saw others doing so.

What was originally a storm just disappeared in the loud shouting.

However, the scene in front of him made Cha Duo tightly grip the handrail beside him, with anger and unwillingness in his eyes.

Just because of such a loud shout, even among King Zhan's guards, almost 80% of them dropped their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands.

On the dock, besides the Ming army, the only ones standing there were Prince Zhan and a dozen or so of his personal guards.

The ministers who came to greet him also lay on the ground and dared not move.

Before Concubine Yue showed up, a huge show of force came to King Zhan.

To put it simply, if Concubine Yue had any ideas, she only needed to issue an order and Champa would change its owner today.

Zhan Wangchaduo's hands, veins bulging, could only let go helplessly in the end.

Under such power, he had no room to resist.

In fact, it was also the first time that King Zhan faced the Ming Dynasty directly.

I had only heard about it before, and also learned about it from my brother Chaye, who is now the Champa envoy stationed in Ming Dynasty.

The wealthy Ming Dynasty had a territory as large as hundreds of Champas, and its army was more numerous than the people of Champa.

To be honest, I used to think these were not credible.

Although he knew in his heart that the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful, it was not possible to exaggerate it.

Until today.

Everything in front of him told him that the Ming Dynasty was truly powerful.

The stern and strict soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were reflected in his eyes. He felt that any small soldier could easily carry out a unilateral massacre of his strongest guards.

Even these people in front of them might not be able to survive even one round if they did not rely on the convenience of the city walls.

Not to mention the towering Ming treasure ship at the dock.

King Champa also understood at this time that the Ming Dynasty was truly invincible. The army led by just a concubine of the Ming Crown Prince could bring danger of the destruction of Champa.

Only by sending the most beautiful women to the crown prince like the King of Annan did, could Champa develop with the help of the Ming Dynasty.

Champa will never be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, King Zhan was also very fortunate that he had agreed to the request of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty and donated a city.

Although many Champa ministers had been cursing him, it now seemed that his choice was extremely wise.

"Damn it, Ananya, where the hell have you been?"

Zhan Wangchaduo, who had figured it out, couldn't help but start complaining in his heart.

The portraits have already been sent over here. If we offend the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty because of this matter, it would be an unprovoked disaster.

Prince Zhan Chaduo has made up his mind that after Concubine Mingyue arrives, he will immediately mobilize the entire country to find Ananiya.

I believe that all other families in Champa will support my decision.

As his eyes swept over the kneeling ministers, Cha Duo couldn't help but reveal a hint of gloating in his eyes.

He felt that if he could get close to the Ming Crown Prince, he might not be just a puppet, but the real king of Champa.

…

On the treasure ship.

Since the Ming army had not completed the clearing of the area and imposed martial law, Jin Kaishan naturally would not allow Concubine Yue to take any risky actions.

Any mistake would become a huge stain on Jin Kaishan's future career.

He can't afford it.

Before the trip, the commander-in-chief of the navy gave him many instructions, asking him to put the safety of Concubine Yue first and not to take anything with him.

Therefore, Jin Kaishan has not drunk any alcohol since the start, for fear that drinking would cause trouble.

Ananiya stood next to Chen Muyue.

Looking at everything that was happening below, his eyes flickered with extremely complicated light.

She had already felt the shock of the Ming Dynasty treasure ship. Although she had expected it in her heart, when such a scene happened, she finally understood what the Ming Dynasty meant.

Looking towards King Zhan, the lonely King Zhan was extremely eye-catching in the crowd at this moment, but anyone could see his desolate feeling.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians squatted down with their heads in their hands. Although Concubine Yue's intention was for the good of Champa and would not cause casualties from being trampled by the crowd, this was still the case.

These people, even the Champa army, were like prisoners of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, without any face or dignity.

"Your Majesty, can we get off the boat now?" Jin Kaishan was not at all surprised by this situation.

Overseas, the Ming navy is king.

This is something that all Ming navy officers are very clear about.

The naval army was even more eager to sail on the sea, because the Ming navy on the sea was the real invincible fleet, and merchants from any country had to bow down before them.

This huge gap between the Ming Dynasty and foreign countries is what the Ming Dynasty navy felt most deeply.

Chen Muyue nodded slightly: "Yes!"

After Jin Kaishan received the order, he shouted, "The Moon Concubine has ordered us to get off the boat and go ashore!"

As Jin Kaishan's order was given, dozens of naval soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled the chains on both sides.

As the chain was pulled, the deck planks on the side of the treasure ship slowly lowered.

This design is similar to that of a city gate, and can directly form a staircase. The only trouble is that it requires at least thirty people to turn it left and right.

The side of the ship's plank came down with a gorgeous wooden ladder handrail, on which there were exquisitely carved patterns.

Everything indicates the luxury of the treasure ship.

After the ship's plank stairs landed on the dock, two rows of soldiers formed below, with their heads slightly lowered, waiting for Concubine Yue to get off the ship.

Such a grand ceremony is something that has never been seen in a place like Champa. Such a scene will probably be unforgettable for a lifetime.

What no one noticed was that at the edge of the pier.

An Obaro businessman with blond hair and blue eyes was quickly drafting with a charcoal pencil in hand.

"It must be painted well. Once this painting is completed and brought back to Obaro, it will surely be snatched up by all the nobles. My reputation, Amos, will surely resound throughout Obaro along with this painting."

Amos's hands were shaking slightly and uncontrollably due to excessive excitement.

He was originally a nobleman.

However, declining nobles were very common in Obaro. Fortunately, his wealthy life in his childhood and his excellent painting talent enabled him to learn painting skills well.

Unfortunately, Obaro is in chaos now. Without the blessing of fame, no one will buy his paintings.

In desperation, he spent all his assets and, through his former aristocratic connections, became an ocean-going merchant.

All businessmen know that the richest place in the world is the Ming Dynasty in the Far East.

As long as he could buy enough tea, porcelain and silk and ship them back to the country, he would definitely make a fortune.

Unfortunately, due to the arrogance of the nobility, Amos seemed to have no talent for business. This also led to the fact that after arriving in Champa, apart from the cost of guards, he found that he had no money to go to Ming Dynasty for purchases.

He had been staying in Champa for many days when he accidentally heard that the Ming Dynasty's Concubine Yue was coming.

I didn't think too much about it at first. I just wanted to draw the situation of Concubine Mingyue out of my habit of painting.

Originally he was the one closest to the dock.

However, a kind-hearted Ming Dynasty merchant told him not to get so close to the anchorage.

According to the etiquette laws of the Ming Dynasty, the area will be cleared at that time and there may be danger.

It was because he listened to the words of the Ming Dynasty merchants that Amos chose such a remote place.

The scene that happened earlier also made him understand the situation very well.

Restraining his excitement, Amos quickly drafted the picture with charcoal pencil and soon completed a rough outline.

At this point, you just need to complete some details and then add precious pigments to complete this great painting.

"Amos, your painting is really good. Are you interested in selling it to me after you finish it? The price will definitely satisfy you."

Chen Qizhi watched Amos painting from behind. His style was completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

Amos was originally a realist painter, and he had practiced the basic skills of composition since he was a child, so he had a very solid foundation.

Even without color, the entire scene on the dock was included in the painting.

"Dear Chen, please do not disturb a great painter from completing a great painting."

"At this moment, I need to put all my energy into it. Any missed opportunity is unforgivable."

Amos answered with some complaint, and then immediately immersed his thoughts in painting again.

Seeing this situation, Chen Qizhi had no choice but to keep silent and wait quietly.

But he had already made up his mind that he must buy this painting.

Then present it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

I'm sure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be extremely happy to see this picture of Concubine Yue getting off the boat.

As Amos continued to paint, everything that had just happened gradually appeared in the painting.

The sunset at the seaside, the huge treasure ship, the well-organized and orderly Ming army, and the densely packed people crawling on the ground.

The King Zhan standing alone and the Concubine Yue standing on the steps of the treasure ship formed a sharp contrast.

One high and one low seem to indicate a huge difference.

When the colors were added, the elegance of the Ming Dynasty at that moment was fully reflected in the painting.

Chen Qizhi was extremely excited when he saw this.

He knew very well that if he bought this painting and presented it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his future prospects would be extremely bright.

As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembers his name, all future business in maritime trade will go smoothly.

"Why is this happening? With my painting skills, I can only show one-tenth or one-twelfth of the level I just showed. If a master were here, he would definitely be able to paint better than me."

Looking at his finished painting, Amos sighed.

He was not satisfied.

Although it looked good at first glance, it failed to truly embody the momentum and charm just now.

Chen Qizhi said: "It's already very good. How about it, Amos? I will give you 100 taels of silver as long as you are willing to sell this painting to me."

When Amos heard the price of 100 taels of silver, he was immediately excited.

However, this painting was related to his fame, so after a slight hesitation he shook his head and refused.

Of course Chen Qizhi was determined to sell it, and he immediately said again: "Two hundred taels, Amos, I really need this painting."

This time, Amos did not hesitate and directly refused. "Chen, there is no way I can sell it to you. I may never see such a grand scene again in my life."

"He concerns my reputation. I will take him back to Obaro and show him to the nobles who once laughed at me."

"I believe that even the emperor of the Roman Empire would definitely pay a large amount of treasure for this painting of mine."

"So I can't sell it to you, no matter how much money you offer, dear Chen. This will affect my whole life. Even the honor of my family."
