New Ming Empire mixed in America

With trembling hands, Sun Laifu respectfully took the large porcelain bowl handed over by His Majesty the Emperor. Not only was the bowl filled with white rice, it was also covered with a layer of small cube-shaped pickles called Wujiang mustard.

In addition, there is a salted duck egg and a bottle of mineral water with vitamin C effervescent tablets added.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor, who was majestic yet kind, Sun Laifu made a decision in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Sun Laifu, a common man, is willing to cut his hair and join the New Ming Empire. I hope your Majesty will be kind to you!"

After saying this, Sun Laifu would kneel down and salute.

Before his knees even touched the ground, his body was lifted up by a pair of big hands.

"Long live the Lord, I have said that from now on, our New Ming Empire will not practice kneeling, but just raise your hands and bow."

Sun Laifu looked up and saw that it was Liu Erhe, the commander of the royal guards beside His Majesty.

Liu Erhe smiled at him, took out a bag with "Goubangzi Roast Chicken" printed on it from the wire cart (supermarket shopping cart) pushed in front of him, handed it to Sun Laifu and said loudly:

"Long live the mighty dragon's grace. Now my grandson will be blessed to join me in the New Ming Empire's household registration. I will reward you with a roasted chicken, a new set of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a self-defense ax~"

After shouting, Liu Erhe patted Sun Laifu on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"What are you doing standing around? Thank you quickly. After dinner, go to my father... ahem, go to Mr. Liu, the Minister of Etiquette, to get your hair cut and get something."

Being patted by Liu Erhe, Sun Laifu finally recovered from his excitement, and then he bent his legs and knelt down to kowtow.

When Liu Erhe saw his actions, he frowned and was about to scold him, but Sun Laifu said before him:

"Lord Liu, please let me kowtow to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has allowed me to join the Xinming Empire's household registration and given me a lot of property. I also promised that I can have enough to eat. This is a huge kindness that I can't repay..."

Boy, the road is getting wider.

Although Liu Erhe had never heard of this sentence, his current thoughts were similar to this sentence, and he couldn't help but look at the other party twice.

"You don't need to kneel down and kowtow. Just know in your heart who gave you this new life. From now on, serving the Lord Long Live with all your heart will be considered as repayment."

Liu Erhe knew this sentence taught by his father by heart, because this was not the first time he said it.

This happens every time food is distributed, because the way His Majesty the Emperor appears is too shocking in this era when most people are ignorant.

Now almost most people in the cabin have chosen to cut their hair and join the Xinming Empire. The rest are not that they don't want to join, but it's not their turn yet.

They were in awe of the miracle His Majesty the Emperor performed just now. Now the nine 'artifacts' that do not require lamp oil are still hanging around the cabin.

The bowls of steaming rice. And the roast chicken that you may not be able to eat during the Chinese New Year.

It was as if the corner where His Majesty the Emperor was lying was a treasure chest, and food was taken out continuously from there and distributed to people's hands.

What? You said that His Majesty the Emperor was actually unconscious when he was lying in that corner?

Fart, your majesty is the reincarnation of a real dragon. He is lying in a small corner. He is testing us, the common people. If you dare to slander your Majesty, I will beat you to death, you bastard!

That's right, the one hundred and thirty-seven people in this cabin now regard His Majesty the Emperor as a god from the bottom of their hearts.

If anyone dares to say something against His Majesty to your face, then I must let you know what it means to humiliate a minister and cause death and blood to be splattered in five steps!

In the end, Liu Erhe could not stop Sun Laifu's stubbornness, and could only let him kowtow in the direction of Long Live Lord.

"Master Liu, I want to join your majesty's personal army, please accept your permission!"

Sun Laifu stood up and expressed his thoughts, which made Liu Erhe smile.

Nowadays, the country is in a difficult situation, and Long Live Master doesn't even have any decent guards around him. This really makes Liu Erhe, the commander of the guards, anxious.

Now it's better, Sun Laifu has delivered it to his door. He believes that after the first one, there will be a second and third one.

"Okay, I am a man! But now I am no longer the commander of the guards."

Seeing Sun Laifu's puzzled expression, he raised his head and said:

"Now the imperial guards have been renamed Jin Yiwei! Have you seen what I'm wearing? This is the flying fish suit that Jin Yiwei wears!"

Pointing to the pattern of dragon head, fish tail and wings on his body, Liu Erhe looked proud.

After saying this, he saw that Long Live Master had already walked to the next person, and he quickly pushed the cart and followed him. He only left an instruction for Sun Laifu to ask for instructions from Long Live Master.

Sun Laifu withdrew his gaze and squatted back to the position he had been in all these days. Looking at the white rice in his hand, he didn't know how to eat it for a moment.

I finally gritted my teeth and imitated my companions to tear open the packaging of the roasted chicken and took a firm bite of the fragrant roasted chicken. Finally, I did not forget to say with emotion, this is life! Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting us have enough to eat.

hope.

After Li Mingqi distributed a piece of food to everyone, he also showed a smile when he saw everyone devouring it.

This is how I, a Chinese, should be, I should be well fed, clothed, and a decent person!

It is a pity that many people in later generations do not understand this simple truth. They eat the food of China, but wag their tails at foreigners. In order to get a reward from foreigners, they will not hesitate to show their teeth to the motherland that gave birth to them.

You are such a beast! Is it so difficult to raise your head and be a human being?

"Long live my lord, after I finish cutting the heads of these people, it's time to give them clothes. Look..."

Liu Youcai's voice sounded behind Li Mingqi, with a look of anticipation on his face.

The person who got the food first has almost finished eating. There is no trace of the clothes yet, so he can't help but be anxious.

"There will definitely be clothes, but the most important thing now is not this. Instead, we must first consider how to obtain the sovereignty of this ship."

Li Mingqi turned to look at Liu Erhe, who had just returned from the crowd, and asked, "Is there anyone willing to fight for the empire?"

Liu Erhe replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, everyone here has returned home. As long as your Majesty gives the order, everyone is willing to fight to the death for your Majesty!"

"Okay! First give each person a hand ax as a weapon. Wait until dark to find a way to get our ship back!"

Li Mingqi seemed very happy and confirmed the ownership of the ship with a wave of his hand.

"Long live my lord, these barbarians have firearms in their hands. I'm afraid we won't be able to gain any advantage if we fight head-on."

Liu Youcai reminded him from the side, which cooled down Li Mingqi's heated head. "That's right, we have to think of a perfect solution."

"Long live Lord, there are more of us. I will personally lead the people to rush forward and fight to the death with those barbarians. As long as we are inside, those barbarians' muskets will not be so scary."

Liu Erhe saw that Li Mingqi was hesitant and patted his chest to express his opinion.

It's a pity that Li Mingqi automatically filtered out Liu Erhe's less nutritious suggestions and sat on a plastic chair to think about it.

Although the muskets of this era still used black powder and were not very accurate. But as long as the sailors stood in formation, the tactic of lining up and shooting them was not a joke.

I learned from Liu Youcai that the deck of this ship was very empty, and the sailors all lived on the deck, with separate cabins standing on the deck like wooden houses.

Unlike battleships, merchant ships do not have so many cannons that take up space. At the same time, they do not require too many sailors.

Before boarding the ship, Liu Youcai observed that the ship could hold up to the sky with at most twenty-five sailors.

But if they formed a formation to guard the cabin exit, let alone the more than 100 people from the Xinming Empire, they would not be able to attack even if they were twice as many.

If casualties were not spared, it would not be impossible to rush out with the corpses of dead comrades in front, but the casualties would definitely be heavy.

Besides, sailors also had pistols in addition to rifles. Although loading pistols in this era was troublesome, it was unrealistic to fire six rounds with more than a dozen pistols.

This is the first battle that Li Mingqi will experience after waking up, so he cannot be cautious.
