Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 790 The theory of round earth

Shopkeeper Fu and others hid him in the cabin and used many baskets and other sundries to hide them... Although most of the baskets in the cabin were empty, they could not hold the many sea fish that had once been contained in these baskets. . The smell of the basket stained Felute's body, and the smell was naturally extremely sour.

"Oh, damn..." Hearing this, Felt lowered his head and smelled his sleeves gently, then took out a small bottle of liquid and sprayed it on himself. "Damn it, I've put on a lot of perfume, but I just can't cover up this weird smell..."

Little did he know that the smell of smelly fish mixed with the bottle of strong perfume made the smell on his body even more sour.

Shopkeeper Fu, Fang Zuozi and others looked at each other, thinking that this Rakshasa devil was really as slovenly as the rumors, and he stinked like this. He didn't know whether he should take a bath or wipe it with a piece of cloth. They don't know that not taking a bath is a custom among the Western Yi nobles. Due to the raging epidemic of Western diseases, Western medicine is in a very ignorant period. Doctors believe that bathing will expand the pores, causing the entry of poisonous gases, and washing off body dirt is a very dangerous thing. Therefore, these Westerners will not take a bath easily throughout their lives.

However, the sour and refreshing taste really detracted from the aristocratic gentleman's demeanor, so these perfumes, powders and the like became their constant carry-on items.

The two chatted for a while, and finally arrived at their companions. Feeling happy, Felute complained to Philip: "The damn Ming Dynasty seized all our ships and goods in Hangzhou Port...but we All the belongings gained from traveling back and forth between Fengmingzhou and Ming Dynasty in the past two years..." Speaking of this, Felute still felt heartache.

"The Ming people's country is too powerful... They are used to saying the same thing. After all, he is like an invincible giant. No country in the world can compete with him." Philip said. "I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover our goods."

The recovery of the goods is secondary. The key is that once Daming refuses to communicate with them, their route to Fengmingzhou will be cut off. This is a route with a steady flow of gold. Thinking that they can no longer go to Fengmingzhou to fish for gold, Philip and Felut were extremely depressed.

"Damn it, God is too partial to the Ming Dynasty... He allowed them to occupy the center of the world alone, gave them such fertile land and civilization, but placed Fengmingzhou to the east of them... We If any country wants to reach Fengming Continent, they must pass through this overlord who occupies the center of the world. As long as they keep occupying this place, they will always be able to control the route to Fengming Continent..." Felute complained.

"Maybe that's not the case." Philip said suddenly. "When I was in Fengmingzhou, I once met an official who was exiled by the Ming Dynasty..."

"Why is it impossible?" Phillip looked a little excited. "You have also met His Royal Highness King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty. Although I don't want to admit it, but God, he is definitely the smartest and most knowledgeable person in the world."

"The official said that King Zhou of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty once said that the world is probably round..."

"Round?" Felute was stunned. "How is that possible?"

"It was he who proposed the existence of Fengmingzhou before he discovered it. It was he who created the textile machine that turned wool into warm clothes for the Chinese people. He was also a great military strategist and an outstanding figure. educator... Although he is very young, he is the most famous wise man in Ming Dynasty today... We have to admit that there are far more wise men in China than in our hometown. Only after learning Chinese did I understand them How profound is his wisdom.”

"I think the theory expressed by such a wise man is very likely to be reality. But it is a pity that the knowledge of the Imperial College is strictly guarded against us foreigners. Although we bribed in many ways, we can only get these few words..." Philip said.

Compared with Felt, he, Philip, is more like an adventurer and a scholar who is eager for talents. Of course, his nature is still greedy. The reason why he pursues knowledge is that he knows that knowledge can bring him abundant benefits...

"But even if the world is round, what's the use?" Felt still showed a lack of interest. "What is the world created by God like? That is something that the church should only care about... and what does it have to do with us?" "Stupid! I don't even understand this!" Philip said. "If the world is really round, then as long as we sail westward from our country..."

"You can bypass Daming's obstruction and reach Fengming Continent!"

Felt became interested after hearing that he could reach Fengming Continent again. But after thinking about it, I was still a little frustrated: "What you said is just your guess."

"What if this is just a rumor deliberately spread by the Ming Dynasty King Zhou... These Ming people are really despicable. Each of their hearts can flow with enough pus to flood Britain."

"If this is just them deceiving us, we will only die on the sea as we go west..."

"So, I need to interrogate more Ming people to confirm this statement..." Philip said.

Felute was still not optimistic, and interrupted him and said to himself: "Moreover, it is said that the Ming Dynasty's fleet has also conquered India and Central Asia and occupied the entire sea route. In case we are not allowed to land for supplies along the way, …”

“It’s very difficult for us to even return to our home country!”

"I know." Phillip nodded, but there was a fierce light in his eyes. "So, I have a bold idea..."

……

Shopkeeper Fu only heard the two Rakshasa devils dancing and talking as soon as they met. He couldn't understand the Rakshasa people's language. He only knew that the other party was chattering in bird language and had a fierce look on his face. He was obviously not fighting. What a great idea.

Then, the red-haired barbarian named Felute came over and explained the situation to them. Then, he led them to become familiar with many things on the deck, such as cleaning the deck, pulling up the sails, and various other tasks.

These White Lotus cultists who were born as fishermen quickly got started working on the ship. Shopkeeper Fu, Fang Zuozi and others also secretly became familiar with the structure of the ship while working every day. Just wait for the ship to dock in a foreign land far away from the Ming Dynasty, and then think of ways to seize the ship first.

Until this day, Fang Zuozi secretly found Shopkeeper Fu while cleaning the deck: "Shopkeeper, something is not right."

"Looking at the direction of these Rakshasa devils in the past few days...it doesn't look like they are heading west?"
