Domineering Daming

A few people were about to raise their guns to fight back, but they were met with a round of gunshots, smashed into sieves, and fell to the ground with their eyes wide open.The others were so frightened that they quickly dropped their guns, raised their hands, and didn't dare to say a word, but just stared at these ferocious soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with wide eyes.

"Bah! I don't know how to live or die!" A soldier spat and snorted coldly.

Here are the red-haired man, and others, all shivering and hiding in the corner, their eyes full of fear.

"Is there anyone who can speak Chinese?" soldiers shouted everywhere with their guns in hand.

No one answered, they all looked at them with horrified eyes, their faces were full of shock, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Captain Wang, they don't think we are pirates, do they?" Someone figured it out and looked at the captain who was leading the army.

Lieutenant Wang was rather calm, and said: "Don't worry about them, all of them will be escorted to the deck, watch out, let's escort the boat back, the speed must be fast, we have to come again!"

"Okay!" The soldier was very excited.They just checked the goods delivered by this merchant ship, silk, porcelain, silver, gold, agate, pearls, and many things they couldn't recognize, but they were very valuable at first glance!

If there are ten or eight times, then they will be prosperous!

Less than a hundred miles to the south of He Demiao, a medium ship fired fiercely at five merchant ships, and forcibly sank one of them.

Fifty miles to the north of He Demiao, this medium ship intercepted the convoy from the Japanese envoys, seven of them, but they made dumplings, confiscated them all, and escorted them back to Meizhou Island.

It was getting dark gradually, but the base was brightly lit and noisy.

The soldiers were unloading the cargo from the ship, and then the boxes were opened and spread on the concrete floor. The eyes of the onlookers were wide open, and they were dumbfounded in surprise.

Even Zhu Xu was a little surprised at the moment.

Chests and crates of gold, silver, agate, jewelry, other antiques, spices, tea, they don't care anymore.Just gold, silver, agate, etc., if converted, there are at least 200 million taels of silver!

Zhu Yujian and Xiong Wencan are also of extraordinary background, but they have never seen so many real objects so brightly displayed in front of them.

The other deputy generals, the generals, were even more remarkable, with salivation on their faces, they almost drew their swords to grab them.

A group of people looked at the boxes that were constantly being moved down, and unconsciously moved their throats.

Some people know that sea trade is a huge profit, but they didn't expect it to be like this. This is not a huge profit, it is clearly robbing the treasury of that small country!

"My lord, let's send troops again and sweep where we can!"

Suddenly, a general spoke loudly, with a trill in his voice.

"Yes, my lord, let's send all of our people out, otherwise there will definitely be fish that slip through the net!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please send troops, missing one will be a huge loss!"

"Your Majesty, the last general begs for orders!"

"Your Majesty, the last general begs for orders!"

"Your Majesty, the last general begs for orders!"

Not long after, a group of deputy generals and generals knelt down on one knee to Zhu Xu, begging for orders.

"With the military expenditure, the morale is also..."

Zhu Xu secretly thought in his heart, then turned his back, looked at the group of begging people, smiled and said: "I haven't seen the world, you will know later, these are just drizzle. I don't care about the specific affairs of the navy, I'm looking for you Commander-in-chief go." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Everyone hurriedly said "respectfully send off the emperor", and they started to quarrel with Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian.

Xiong Wencan and Zhu Yujian looked at Zhu Xu's back, and then they looked at each other. Zhu Yujian muttered: "It's too dangerous to go to sea at night, and merchant ships are usually at night..."

"It's not dangerous to the prince, and we are not afraid..."

"My lord, these ships are transporting goods regardless of day and night, so we can't let them go..."

"Yes, my lord, our Daming is short of money right now, what a great opportunity!"

"My lord, if you miss tonight, it will be useless. They will all know the news tomorrow..."

The voices of a group of people became louder and louder, one after another, almost covering the entire base.

Zhu Yujian also thought about it, although these people's purpose is not pure, but their words are reasonable, if you miss this tonight, the red-haired man and Frangji will know the news, and it will be difficult to do it again.

"My lord, what do you think?" Zhu Yujian cut his head and looked at Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan understood Zhu Yujian's meaning, thought for a while, and said, "Well, let's go to sea tonight, and we can train first, but the distance should not be too far, we must ensure safety!"

"My lord, don't worry!" A group of people said in unison, cadenced.

Xiong Wencan, Zhu Yujian and others all nodded secretly, the navy needs this kind of energy!

They were busy making arrangements, and the whole base was sleepless all night.

Zhu Xu went back to his room, his heart was also surging.

The profit of Haimao has exceeded his expectation, and this is only in the preliminary stage. As time goes by, the various places are slowly developed, and the profit will increase several times, dozens of times!

Although Daming is going weak and dangerous, Zhu Xu still can't help wanting to take risks and give it a go!

Zhu Xu sat at the table, looking at the map of the South China Sea, moving bit by bit, deliberating in his heart.

Whether it is the Dutch or the Spanish, the troops in the South China Sea are extremely limited now. As long as he wins this battle, he will be able to occupy Maliu, Jia. At that time, he only needs to send heavy troops to block all outsiders from the door. No matter how weak Daming is, there is a relatively stable period of time, and he can monopolize the trade in the Far East and transfuse blood for Daming!

Thinking about it, Zhu Xu's breathing gradually became a little short, his chest heaved slightly, and his gaze was like lightning.

Cao Huachun didn't know what Zhu Xu was thinking, so after waiting for a while, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Ruowang has already gone south, and all places have completed the statistics of the people from Xiyi."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, didn't care, and asked: "Well, when will the Tianjin Wei warship be launched? Can it sail and fight?"

After the first big warship was launched, the Royal Political Council, the Ministry of Industry and Tianjin Wei's shipyard were starting to design the second one. Because of their experience and referring to various Western literature, they planned to design a new one according to Zhu Xu's request. Big Mac, a large ship with a length of seventy feet!

Now the largest warship in Europe is only sixty feet long. This is a feat, full of difficulties, and at the same time cautious and emotional.

Cao Huachun thought for a while, and said: "It should be launched this year. Long-distance combat requires a series of drills and inspections. It may take another year. This kind of warship is unprecedented. The Political Council and the Ministry of Industry are extremely cautious."

Zhu Xu patted the map with his hands, and said in a deep voice: "It's too slow, pass an order to the Ministry of Industry, to speed up, at the latest in March next year, I want this warship to be able to sail long distances, and to ensure that it will sail continuously for two years. Something went wrong!"

Cao Huachun was slightly stunned, and said: "Yes, this servant is drawing up the order."

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, still looking at the map.After leaving Malacca, there are only a few places that can be marked on this map, and it is even blank to the south.

He wants to fill these gaps and plant the flag of Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 738 Fence

After Zhu Xu left the governor's yamen, Zou Weilian issued a seal order to the governor's yamen, not to reveal what Zhu Xu said in the governor's yamen.

But the whole of Fujian has been downgraded three levels in a row. How can it be hidden from such a big movement.
