Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 629 Waiting For An Opportunity

At the Qiongzhou Wharf, seeing that the destination was finally approaching, all the people on the three blessing boats crowded onto the deck.Everyone is elated, very excited.

On the flagship, beside Zheng Zhibao, there was a man, although he was wearing Daming's clothes, had the same yellow skin and black eyes, but after all, he looked a little strange, and seemed to be a little different.

The difference was even more audible when he opened his mouth to speak.

That Daming official dialect seemed to be just learned at first glance, and he spoke very slowly, as if he was thinking while saying: "My lord, this is Daming, no wonder it is so prosperous!"

If someone else said this, Zheng Zhibao would probably slap him and say something ironic?

However, these words came from a South American Indian population, and Zheng Zhibao had also been to South America and seen the situation there, so he knew very well that what he said was not ironic, but that he really felt that Qiongzhou was very prosperous.

There are many ships docked at the pier, and there is a tall city wall a little far away. Although the sun is shining, the streets in the city are still full of people, mainly transporting goods and the like.

Horse-drawn carts, ox carts, rickshaws, sedan chairs, etc. can be seen everywhere.What's more, the clothes of the people of Ming Dynasty are obviously higher than that of the Indians.It's as if the people in Ming Dynasty are all of the colonists in South America.

However, even if Qiongzhou is the capital city of Qiongzhou Prefecture, it is not worth mentioning to Zheng Zhibao.

Hearing the Indian's words at this time, he said lightly: "Mu Ming, remember what you said today, and you will know how lonely and ignorant you are in the future!"

This Indian, named Mu Ming, surnamed Qian, got his own new name on the way to Laide.The same goes for other Indians, who all named themselves Daming.Among them, Qian Muming was the smartest among the Indians, so Zheng Zhilong brought him with him.

Originally, this Qian Muming wanted to give himself the surname Zheng. After Zheng Zhibao found out, he finally rejected his name, and let them choose from a hundred surnames.

At this time, Qian Muming was a little dumbfounded when he heard his words, and asked in great surprise: "This...isn't this prosperous?"

Hearing his words, Zheng Zhibao's subordinates around couldn't help laughing.In laughter, full of pride.

While talking and joking, Zheng Zhibao suddenly saw two sedan chairs coming towards the pier at the gate of the city.

"The grown-ups are here, all get off the boat to welcome them!" Zheng Zhibao quickly shouted loudly, then straightened up his appearance, and hurried ashore.

After his ship docked, he had already known the current changes in officials in Qiongzhou through the officials at the port.The original Mr. Wang retired from the first rank of the official residence, and another Mr. Chen was sent from the capital to replace him.

And Zheng Zhibao is just a little martial artist at present, so naturally he dare not neglect.

Seeing this, Qian Muming and other Indians couldn't help becoming a little nervous, and hurriedly followed the sailors of the Zheng family, and went ashore while tidying up their appearance.

Martial law will soon be imposed on the pier side.Outside the martial law line, the people of Qiongzhou, as long as they are not busy, stop and watch, very curious about the two adults in the city coming to the pier together, what is going on?
The sedan chair stopped. After all, Chen Zilong was young, so he got out of the sedan chair first, then quickly walked to Wang Xiangjin's side, and stretched out his hand to help Wang Xiangjin get off the sedan chair.

Seeing Wang Xiangjin's eyes, he just glanced at the pier, and at the same time asked Chen Zilong, "Where is it? Where is it?"

At this time, he was really a little worried, this person came back, did he bring anything back?

If it doesn't go well this time, then he probably won't be able to wait for the next time.

Chen Zilong helped Wang Xiangjin out of the sedan chair, pointed at Zheng Zhibao and said, "It's there!"

Zheng Zhibao also had winks. Seeing this situation, he immediately paid homage and said: "The last general of Fuzhou Coast Defense, Zheng Zhibao, has returned from business trips in South America by order, and hereby hand over the goods to Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen!"

As soon as he heard the words handing over the goods, Wang Xiangjin's anxious face immediately eased, replaced by a smile on his face, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, where is the thing?"

To be honest, he didn't want to wait for a moment, he just wanted to see these good things on the other side of the ocean as soon as possible.

The place where Wang Xiangjin is located is covered by a shade shed.His servant immediately sent a grand master's chair, lest the master get tired.

Chen Zilong on the side also suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Zheng Zhibao: "It's really hard for you, get up!"

"Obey!" Zheng Zhibao responded loudly after hearing this, and then stood up.

Seeing the appearance of the two adults, the feeling of attaching great importance to him also made him feel relieved.

The result of untold hardships and hardships, but the result is that no one cares about it, no one pays attention to it, and that is the biggest blow to him.

Therefore, Zheng Zhibao was also happy, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Come on, move all the goods here, be careful."

His subordinates and the Indians quickly agreed, and then boarded the boat one after another to carry things.

When harvesting these flowers and plants in Lima, considering the long distance, they were usually small saplings, but now, as long as they can survive, they have grown a lot taller.As for the seeds and the like, many have germinated.

One by one, they were transported to the shore and placed under the awning. Wang Xiangjin couldn't sit still, so he hurried forward to check.However, he couldn't see anything, so he quickly called Chen Zilong and asked him to take out the information given by the emperor and check it quickly.

However, there are no photos, and the different growth cycles, if it is not particularly conspicuous, it is still difficult to recognize.

Zheng Zhibao's men were carrying them, and Wang Xiangjin, wearing reading glasses, checked with Chen Zilong, but they couldn't recognize anything.

Chen Zilong knew that he couldn't recognize anything like this, so he called Zheng Zhibao and asked him to introduce him.

Zheng Zhibao naturally did kung fu. Although there are many of them, he didn't know what they were when he bought them, but he has confirmed the most important ones.Such as rubber trees, cinchona trees and so on.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Zilong's request, he hurriedly and courteously introduced it.

Key plants such as rubber trees and cinchona trees not only have saplings, but also seeds.Under Zheng Zhibao's introduction, Chen Zilong and Wang Xiangjin checked the information again, and found similarities at this time.

This time, both of them were very happy: Daming finally had this kind of baby!
Seeing the saplings growing well, Chen Zilong, as one of the botanical experts, of course knew how difficult it is to come across the ocean, so he sincerely said with emotion: "It's really unexpected that the saplings can be sent here alive!"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong called Qian Muming, and then answered Chen Zilong: "My lord, this is all thanks to the careful care of the locals in South America."

Qian Muming was very nervous in front of the senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, and quickly replied: "No... no, it's all thanks to Mr. Zheng!"

Chen Zilong was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, he didn't quite understand what he was talking about, but after he slowed down, he finally understood what he was talking about, and took a closer look at the person in front of him, there was indeed some difference from Daming's, but the difference didn't seem to be that big.

So, he looked at the native of South America and asked in surprise: "You can speak Ming Dynasty official dialect?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Zilong immediately came to his senses again. The Mandarin Mandarin with a southern Hokkien accent was obviously taught by Zheng Zhibao's people!

Sure enough, I heard the person in front of me reply: "I know a little bit, Master Zheng taught me well!"

Hearing this, Chen Zilong was a little surprised again. This foreigner seemed to be very good at talking, and Zheng Zhibao took all the credit.

Regarding the locals from South America brought by Zheng Zhibao's fleet, before he came to Qiongzhou, Emperor Chongzhen also explained to him.

One is to take care of South American specialties, after all, they are more familiar with them.Another important thing is to train them to become the guides for Da Ming to set foot on the other side of the ocean in the future, and to make it easier for Da Ming to become famous.

But at this time, Chen Zilong didn't care about knowing the situation of these South American locals, and went to check the flowers, trees and seeds with Wang Xiangjin.

Until Wang Xiangjin was so tired that he had to rest, he didn't check all of them in the end, and there were still many things that could not be confirmed.

But regardless of whether it was confirmed or not, Chen Zilong immediately ordered the old farmers in Qiongzhou to work with the locals in South America to quickly transplant them into the fields.

Afterwards, Zheng Zhibao's fleet will stay in Qiongzhou to rest.The Indians even wanted to work with the old farmers of Ming Dynasty to take care of these flowers and trees.

And Chen Zilong wrote a memorial, clearly stating how many kinds of flowers and trees Zheng Zhibao brought to Qiongzhou, as well as the list of flowers and trees that had been checked.

Wang Xiangjin also signed the memorial to confirm that the content was correct.Afterwards, he quickly sent him to the capital.

Of course, the news about how many Indians is also written.

After Emperor Chongzhen received the memorial, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly announced the good news to Liu Weichao, but he was a little regretful that he couldn't go to Qiongzhou, otherwise, if he took a photo with his mobile phone and showed it to Liu Weichao, he would be able to know what those unknown flowers and trees are and what's their use !
Soon, a decree was issued, and Zheng Zhibao was sent to Beijing with the Indians.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen issued another decree, which was for Sun Chuanting.

Emperor Chongzhen felt from Sun Chuanting's memorial that Sun Chuanting seemed to want to speed up the resolution of the Southwest War, which was impossible.

In his arrangement, at least until the implementation of compulsory military service for all, Sun Chuanting would resolve the war in the Southwest.Otherwise, if the order is reversed, the matter of compulsory military service for the whole people may be hindered because of the victory in the war.

Now, he is waiting for the previous propaganda to spread more widely, and if there is another opportunity, he will announce the mandatory military service for all.

To Emperor Chongzhen's surprise, this opportunity came unexpectedly.
