Drake stood crampedly in the middle of the side hall of the Eastern Military Palace. The younger Bacon stood behind him with his head down, holding the cross necklace tightly in front of his chest. This necklace was the only thing left on them.

Drake was famous in England and his revenge on Spain also gained a lot, but his long voyage across the ocean and his unstoppable trek still made their personal hygiene so bad.

Therefore, although Chen Mu was extremely curious about the letters from the Queen of England, he could only arrange the meeting on the next day.

The task of cleaning them is extremely difficult.

The military servants first took a bath for them, pinched their noses and threw away dirty clothes and worn leather boots with mud marks, and then clamped the lice on their hair. Then they caught two people for a second bath, changed into loose clothes made of cotton, and took two pairs of brown and hemp shoes. In the process, they were secretly made into flavor with incense.

After eliminating the germs, fleas and some body odor, they were arranged to meet with Chen Mu.

Even so, the taste is still a bit eye-catching for Chen Mu, but it is not that difficult to accept. Moreover, after meeting Martyn, this matter is not so difficult to understand.

After all, not everyone can afford Arabic perfume anytime, anywhere, like the judge and mine owner of Potosi.

"Stop holding your necklace, neither holy water, garlic, silver or cross will destroy me."

Chen Mu, who sat on the top, chuckled and raised his left hand and waved it in front of him, saying a joke that he thought was humorous, but responded to him by the young Bacon's wide terrified eyes.

‘Oh my God, this general of the Ming Empire actually compares himself to a vampire!’

To be honest, it is more difficult to meet Chen Mu than to meet the Dharma King Henry. It is too terrifying for Bacon to say such words when they meet.

The so-called "the end of science is theology" is just a fooling verb. People like Drake who do not have the opportunity to receive formal education are rare in Europe who have the opportunity to go to school at the beginning. Although theology does not have much connection with other disciplines, they all have to study theology to have the opportunity to study other subjects.

Where are people born in church and raised in the holy light? The top priority in their lives is to believe in God, which is as important as breathing, eating, sleeping and survival.

The reason why those scientists returned to theology in their later years was not to study the inevitable relationship between science and theology, but to the fact that these devout theologians tried to use science to explain theology, or use theology to explain science, which led to endless contradictions.

Standing here is enough to make Bacon restrained. Last night, he was washed twice by the military servants like a cafe. Bacon took a bath last night when he was baptized in the church last spring. He should have baptized once this spring, but he was sent out by the government before he had time.

Drake is better, he has the habit of dressing and swimming on time.

In fact, Europeans were quite particular about the Greek and Roman times, but the popularity of the Black Death was extremely scary, which made them what they are now.

What made the two Francis uneasy was not just because they were facing Chen Mu, taking a shower and taking a clean bath, which made Bacon worried that he would die of illness. Drake was more heroic, and the pirate leader was full of thoughts about wealth and danger.

"You said you have a letter to my emperor, give it to me."

But Drake did not hand over the letter. He stepped forward. The clothes of Ming people made him feel a little awkward when he walked around. He saluted Chen Mu in his habit and said, "Dear General, we are here to pay homage to you to get the opportunity to go to the Ming Empire. This letter should be presented to the Chinese monarch by us."

"No need, according to the law, you cannot go to the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty has fully authorized all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty's East China Sea to me. You can give me a letter."

Chen Mu's tone was very calm: "Or leave with a letter, because you are my subordinates who are protecting landing in Asia, the Heavenly Army ensures that your fleet leaves the archipelago safely."

"But next time, the Tianjun has no obligation to protect you." Chen Mu said as if he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Your Queen has sent several fleets, are you the only one?"

The troubles he suffered earlier had made Drake mentally prepared. He was not discouraged when he heard Chen Mu's refusal. At the same time, he had no objection to the superiority who was not shy about the expressions and words of the officials from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army defeated Spain, the most powerful country in the world, in Europe. They should be superior.

"The Queen sent three fleets to find the Ming Empire, one to the north, the other to the east, and the other to the west. The captains were well prepared and well-trained."

But what Drake did not expect was that what he saw from Chen Mu's face was disappointment and regret.

"Then I'm afraid I have to congratulate you. You are lucky. The other fleets may have died on the way either by fleeing back to England."

The existing conditions cannot allow any ship to cross the Arctic Circle alive, and to the east there will be heavy blockades from Spain. Even if they escaped the pursuit of the Spanish by chance, the Han Kingdom, which is used to using the Clippers, would plunder them all.

But he did not say the reason, but just reiterated his position: "Have you considered it, should I send the letter to me or take it home?"

Drake and Bacon looked at each other, and they had no choice but to know where the Ming Dynasty was. As for whether the other messenger fleets were killed, it had nothing to do with them. Crossing the sea was an adventure again and again.

The sealed letter was taken by the military officers and handed over to Chen Mu. However, Chen Mu just took the letter and looked at it and waved his hand gently to signal the letter to the personal soldiers next to him to read it... He did not know the English of this era, and even if he communicated with Drake, he used Spanish. It would be better to leave the faith-based personal soldiers who had been translated by Zhu Xiaoen in the past.

Translating letters is a job of strength and brain power. It must not only be decent, but also be translated accurately, for example, the head of the letter is raised.

"The queens of England, France and Ireland, Elizabeth, the guardian of faith, paid tribute to the great, powerful and invincible Emperor Wanli of the Ming Empire...the Grand Marshal, they wrote the Fengtian Chengyun in front, and the Khitan Wanli Khan in the back."

Drake and Bacon couldn't understand what they were saying, but they could be seen from the expressions of all the officials and soldiers in the hall, and everyone, including Chen Mu, showed disgust when they heard this sentence.

"So read."

"The person who presents this letter is Francis Drake, a loyal subject of our country, who has traveled to all parts of your country with our permission."

"It is entirely up to your Majesty's magnanimity and kindness. After suffering hardships, you will be able to receive merciless reception from Your Majesty. What's more, this trip will not harm your country and will benefit your people. Your Majesty does not have to doubt it, and he is more willing to travel to our country's beneficial travel."

"We believe that the benefits that our kings in the West can obtain from mutual trade, both Your Majesty and His Majesty's subordinates can be obtained. This benefit lies in the purchase and sale of things that are needed and wealthy. We think that we are born to need each other and need help each other. We hope that Your Majesty agrees with this matter, and my subjects must not fail to make this attempt."

"If Your Majesty can make this happen, and give it the right to pass safely, and give us the remaining privileges that are extremely needed in the trade of your subjects, then Your Majesty will implement the power of a noble and kind king, and we will never forget your Majesty's achievements. We wish that our request will be met by Your Majesty's great kindness, and that Your Majesty will be merciful to us and our neighbors, and we will strive to repay Your Majesty. May God bless Your Majesty."
