As the distance got closer, the expression on Franco's face became more and more sad.

It's not that he has never seen a ship of the First Fleet, but that time it came to beat him, and it was the first time he had seen such a close-up ship.

It's too fucking big.

Why is it so big?

There were many people watching, but they were all separated by soldiers.

The merchants from other countries had roughly the same thoughts as Franco, pointing at the battleship one by one, and admiring them from time to time.And some far-sighted businessmen have already begun to think about what it would be like if these iron guys drove to their doorsteps.

Zheng Zhilong sent someone to report, and Xie Xuelong got off the boat.

After the two exchanged pleasantries at the pier, Zheng Zhilong looked at Franco.

"Franco, let's board the boat. Sending you off for thousands of miles, there will be a farewell. I hope we will meet again one day!"

"Zheng Bing, I still feel that there is no need to bother to solve the supervisor."

"This matter is His Majesty's will, and no one can change it. Come on board, I hope this time, you and my two countries can be brothers instead of enemies!"

Zheng Zhilong was not arguing with him, and his face became serious.

Franco had no choice but to board his own sailboat honestly.

He stepped on the wooden deck, looked at the Ming warship that had grown several times in the distance, and lowered his head in inferiority.

The siren sounded, and the warships sailed away from the dock.

These eighteen warships were divided into two fleets, each with nine warships.

The First Fleet added two ships to the original.

The two fleets each have captains, but both are under the command of Xie Xuelong.

In addition, there are [-] transport ships parked beside Corregidor Island.The ship was loaded with supplies from the two fleets.

Barrels of fresh water, canned food, food, medicine, clothing, coal, shells, everything.

Compared with the old-fashioned manpower sailing ships, although these warships are large, there are not many people on board.The stuff on these twenty transport ships is enough for a year's consumption.

In fact, most things can be replenished along the way. After all, Global Commerce has been doing business for so many years, and the road has already been cleared, but it is always good to be prepared.

As for the task this time, it is naturally a negotiation.But Zhu Youjian felt that it would be better if the negotiation had to be done in person, and for the sake of safety, it was reasonable to pull the two fleets over.

After all, when you arrive in Spain, you don't know the place where you live, what should you do if you are bullied?

Besides, taking a guy to negotiate, after all, you need to have more confidence.

If the negotiation is a complete success, it should be regarded as tourism.

If it doesn't work, then you can't come back empty-handed.

All in all, in Zhu Youjian's plan, this is a business that only makes money but does not lose money.But then again, he won't do things that are not beneficial, and that's not in his character.

For this reason, Zhu Youjian also talked with Xie Xuelong for a long time, describing to him how much profit would be brought to the court and how much national power would be improved if there were no concessions in every overseas colony in Spain.He also appointed Xie Xuelong as the head of the mission, and asked him to make the King of Spain agree to Ming's request at all costs, and not be stingy with shells.

In Zhu Youjian's plan, this is only the first step to infiltrate the West.Although Spain is strong, it is only on the ebb of the sun. What he fancy is their colonies over the years, the trading market in Europe, and the silver in America.

It's going to be a long process, but he's in no hurry, he's only 24 years old and he has plenty of time.In future generations, at this age, he would still be a young chicken.

On the pier, Zheng Zhilong kept looking at the direction the fleet was leaving until they disappeared from sight.

"Brother, is Your Majesty sending so many warships to Spain to capture their king?" Gan Hui said with emotion as he stood beside Zheng Zhilong.

"Catch the king? Are you insane? You didn't bring infantry on board, how did you land and catch people? Besides, Spain is thousands of miles away from us, so what if we catch them back? Can we still destroy their country?" ?

Your Majesty's purpose is to force them to submit. There are experts who have learned from the dragon, and they have drawn up the rules of negotiation. If we don't agree to our conditions, the landing may not be possible, but what other seaports, docks, and fleet merchant ships at sea, I guess Then you will suffer.

It's okay to use your brain more, don't ask some mindless questions all day long.Zhibao can't come back, so you should take care of Luzon's military in the future. "

Zheng Zhilong frowned and reprimanded Gan Hui, but the last words made Gan Hui very happy.

"Thank you, brother! But, what is an expert?"

"Experts, that's right, that's right, you don't understand anyway. Go back, there is a rebellion in the east, and you lead your troops to suppress it as soon as possible."

"Okay bro."

After Franco left, Manila calmed down again, and everything seemed to return to the original state.

Those who should do business should do business, those who should farm should farm, and those who should have children should have children.

It didn't change because of anyone's absence.

There has been no fighting recently, and Zheng Zhilong planned to rest for a while, but Zhu Youjian quickly arranged a new task for him.

Send troops to Hainan to cooperate with court officials to develop Hainan Island.

Although he was very puzzled about what the rubber in His Majesty's mouth was, he still carried out Zhu Youjian's order to the letter.

Time passed day by day, and it came to the summer of the seventh year of Chongzhen.

July 28

Evening

紫禁城

Zhu Youjian was squatting on the ground and tinkering with a floor fan.

"Daddy, can these leaves really turn?" Zhu Cihong squatted beside him, looking at him and asked.

"Yes, not only can it turn, but it can also blow a very cool wind, so that you won't feel hot."

"Is it also because there is electricity that it turns?"

"Yes, put this plug in the socket."

"Where does the electricity on this socket come from?"

"Electricity from a generator."

"Where did the generator come from?"

"Daddy ordered it to be made by man."

"Oh." Zhu Cihong closed his mouth.

Just when Zhu Youjian thought the hundred thousand whys were over, Zhu Cihong spoke again.

"Dad, can't pretend?"

"Daddy can pretend."

"Then why did Daddy take it down after installing it?"

"Daddy put the fan blades upside down."

"Why is Daddy so stupid?"

"Pfft~" Wang Chengen, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing.It's really rare to see Wanzai being called stupid.

Zhu Youjian turned around and glared at him, then looked at Zhu Cihong.

"...Cihong, you come out to play, does your mother know? I seem to have heard her call you just now."

"My mother won't call me. When I came to play with my father, I asked my mother for instructions. We agreed on a time to go back. My mother won't let me make trouble here."

"Have you finished your homework?"
