Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

Plus, no one walks that waterway.

Then, the only way is to cross the canal from the Red Sea to reach Europe.

Along the way, they pass through Siam, India, Persia, Egypt, Greece, and finally reach Rome.

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao had a headache.

After all, it is not so easy to obtain so many countries.

Ying Zigao felt that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and he will discuss it with the ministers when he comes to court tomorrow morning!
All night long...

In the early morning of the next day, in front of all civil and military officials, Ying Zigao said loudly, "Dear dears, today, I not only want to inform you of an important event, but more importantly, I want to introduce a person to you!"

As he spoke, Zheng He slowly stood up from the crowd.

Ying Zigao pointed to Zheng He and said, "This person is Zheng He, the Admiral of the Navy who I just accepted my fate! Take charge, the sea power of our Great Qin Kingdom!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion among the people present.

After all, none of them knew this man named Zheng He.

"Your Majesty, this person's origin is unknown, so it's probably... inappropriate to entrust such an important task to this person rashly!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, none of us know this person, who knows..."

Several ministers stood up to object, but Ying Zigao didn't care.

After all, he didn't come to consult the ministers.

He just informed the ministers.

Zheng He heard people around him talking about him, but he didn't care.

At this moment, Feng Quji stood up slowly, and said, "Your Majesty, this person must be a sailing talent carefully cultivated by Your Majesty, right?"

"Oh?"

Ying Zigao looked at Feng Quji with interest.

because……

Feng Quji said the word sailing.

"So, what is Feng Qing trying to say?"

Ying Zigao asked.

Feng Quji smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, my minister guessed that His Majesty's sudden desire to launch a large naval force was definitely not on a whim, and must have been prepared for a long time. After you were ready, Your Majesty, you just proposed to us." This plan."

"Look at it!"

Ying Zigao pointed at Feng Quji, and said to several ministers who had opposed him before, "How else can he be the prime minister? Just look at it!"

When the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were all speechless.

Ying Zigao was right, this Feng Quji has always been like this.Anyone can get blown up by his rainbow fart if he wants to.

Although Ying Zigao didn't like such people very much, it had to be said that Feng Quji's words really made many ministers shut up.

After a long time, Ying Zigao continued to speak, "Besides this, there is another big event."

As he spoke, Ying Zigao stood up slowly: "Yesterday, I decided to build a new navy! Master Zheng He will be in charge, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry will take orders!"

With an order, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stood up.

Ying Zigao said loudly: "I will give you six months to build an invincible fleet! In the fleet, no matter the number of ships or the specifications, they must strictly follow the requirements of Master Zheng He!"

"This... the minister... accepts the order..."

Although the Minister of the Ministry of Industry wanted to refuse, after all, not long ago, Ying Zi Gao had just ordered the Daxing Navy, so soon, another fleet would be formed.

But dare not refuse.

"In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of War." Ying Zigao looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War again, and said, "You are in charge. Strictly follow the requirements of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng to recruit [-] elite soldiers who are proficient in water! These [-] elite soldiers will join us This navy led by Mr. Zheng! Help me, Daqin, conquer the ocean!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Minister of the Ministry of War immediately took orders!

The work of the Ministry of War is simpler.

As usual, it's just recruiting.

Although, this time the soldiers have some requirements.But the requirements are not great.

In the Jiangnan water town, it is not difficult to recruit [-] soldiers who are proficient in water.

As long as the military salary is in place, let alone one hundred thousand, it is one million!His Ministry of War can also recruit you.

"Okay! If you have something to play, if you have nothing to do, let's retreat!"

With that said, Ying Zigao turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty had no choice but to shake their heads helplessly and left the hall.

After walking out of the hall, several officials found Zheng He.

The leader among them is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Oh? Master Shangshu, may I ask..."

"Hey stop it!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry simply waved his hand, then looked at Zheng He and said: "Master Zheng, this... You also know that His Majesty the Royal Family only gave me six months. Can you tell me your request so that we can hurry up and work quickly?" , after all... a fleet cannot be built in a short time."

Zheng He smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Oh, so, I don't have high requirements, it's just... After all, the ship has to sail on the sea, so the draft must be deep. In addition, it can't be too deep. After all, this fleet Occasionally, it will enter a wide river, the size is just right, and the quantity... must be able to hold the hundred thousand sailors!"

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Industry had a headache.

He hammered his swollen head, and then asked: "Then...then... Mr. Zheng, forget it, Mr. Zheng just needs to be patient, I will give the order right away."

"Hey, good!"

Although Zheng He looks quite serious, he is still easy to talk about in life.

This made Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, this Zheng He is easy to talk to.

Otherwise, I don't know how much I will suffer.

After returning to the mansion, the Minister of the Ministry of War immediately ordered to recruit craftsmen across the country.

After all, to accommodate [-] sailors, there must be at least a thousand large and small ships in the fleet.

Sailors are sailors and sailors are sailors.

If [-] sailors are to be accommodated, at least [-] to [-] sailors are needed to operate the warship.

In addition, there are also logistical personnel. Calculated, at least a thousand ships are needed to accommodate so many people.

Now it seems that among the standing navy in Daqin, at most a few hundred ships can be assembled.

And these hundreds of boats are all canal boats with low draft, and they can only sail in the offshore at most.

But Zheng He's conditions were extremely harsh.

In addition, Ying Zigao also said before that Daqin wants to conquer the sea!

Then, the ship must not be sailing in the coastal waters, maybe it is going to the more distant high seas.

In this way, for the sake of safety, it is estimated that there are very few ships in Daqin that can be used.

Calculated, the ships built under the order of the emperor before can go to the high seas, but only a hundred ships.

Thinking of this, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was even more troubled.

That night, he ordered people to go to Jiangnan to build more shipyards, and he rushed from Xianyang to Fujian, Jiangsu, Shandong and other places to supervise the shipbuilding projects.

And at this moment...

Ying Zigao summoned Zheng He, and discussed the next plan with Zheng He in the bedroom.

Ying Zigao believes that these [-] sailors are very important!
After all, if you want to do business with that group of Westerners, you need more than enough money, you need some strength.

Otherwise, people will simply stop doing business with you if they see that you are only rich and have no force, and just come to your house to grab it!
