The Reborn Wife is Farming
Chapter 885 Sea Ship
Rao Qi Haoran was so dizzy from burning, his eyes couldn't help but widen at this time, there are only so many people in the entire Guangdong Marine Division?
Before he came, he asked someone to transfer the dossiers of the Guangdong Marine Division from the Ministry of War. Although he only read a few, he knew it well. He didn't expect them to eat so badly. The actual number of more than 30,000 people was only 6,000. .
Qi Haoran's face, which was already a little red due to the fever, was even redder now - angry.
Zhou Zhou also knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he lowered his head, Mu Yang's heart sank, and he asked in a deep voice, "Can those eight sea-going ships of yours sail long distances?"
"No," Zhou Zhou said in a broken jar, "the sea boats are all old, they are not heavy enough, and they can't go far. The boat used by Mr. Fan is the best. It was built by the Zhou family with a huge sum of money. At the beginning of this year It was just built, but because of the imperial government's decree, it has not been able to go to sea..."
"We can't sail far, how can we find them?"
Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and said: "The officers and men have brought enough dry food and fresh water, and they can go to the Nanyang area." Although it was dangerous, they had already gone back and forth with two ships of soldiers, but they still couldn't find anyone.
This is what makes them most desperate.
But Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were not satisfied. Without a large ship, it meant that they could not go far, and had to come back for supplies from time to time. If they encountered a bigger storm, they might not even be able to go to sea.
At this time, Mu Yangling also wished to kill these people who were paid for nothing.
"Since the Zhou family can build a new sea-going ship, do they still have any big sea-going ships?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head. He came from a side branch of the Zhou family, "The sea merchants in Guangdong haven't gone to sea for many years. The sea ships back then were either left there for a long time and fell into disrepair, or they were sold to the navy as warships. The Zhou family is also close to the sea. It's been a few years since I started thinking about going to sea again, this time the trial ship, the Patriarch of the Zhou family and several sons from the direct descendants are all on board..."
So the Zhou family also suffered a huge loss, and at this time they were still under suspicion of murdering the imperial court official, and the Zhou family was gloomy.
Qi Haoran said angrily: "Then tell me, where are there big ships in Guangdong?"
"Only foreigners have them," Zhou Zhou said, "Recently, two foreign ships docked. They are both Western ships. They are heavy and have cannons on them. However, they belong to foreigners..."
Qi Haoran stood up with a "huh" and sneered, "As long as there is a boat, let the Guangdong garrison gather and surround the two seagoing ships, and let your navy divisions get ready. We will go to sea tomorrow to find someone, Zhou Zhou." , Lord, put your words down here, it’s okay to find someone, but if you can’t find anyone, you will all be buried with An Guogong, and you can think about who should be called to accompany us on board."
"My lord, absolutely not," Yu Cheng shouted, "It's a foreigner's boat, and if we rob their boat, it will cause disputes between the two countries?"
"The dispute between the two countries? Is it Spain or Portugal? Or France and Italy, do you know where their land is? To stir up disputes between the two countries, they must first get us to come, but they are just two sea ships. If you are afraid of even this You have to piss your pants, no wonder you can give up the five miles of the coast!" Mu Yangling cursed: "Just do as the prince said, Zhou Zhou, you take people there yourself, if foreigners resist, they will be arrested directly, if they If you dare to kill people, you will kill them all, and we will have two more ships."
Everyone was startled, and looked at the princess standing on top in shock. The prince is a bandit, so the princess has become the wife of a bandit?
This, this is really embarrassing to Daqi, but no one dares to disobey orders at this time.
Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran went back to the backyard, "Someone get the doctor here."
Mu Yangling took out the pill, thought for a while and doubled the amount, "Take a little more and see if it works."
Qi Haoran rolled his eyes, "You're not afraid that I'll eat you to death." But he still took a handful and stuffed it into his mouth and drank it with water. He touched his forehead and said, "I didn't feel burning, but just fainted." I'm dizzy, I can't even move my mind, his grandma's, when the master frees up his hands, he must have uprooted Qin Fang's people and made me so sick."
Seeing that his eyes were almost closed, Mu Yangling pushed him to bed, held his hand and promised: "You go to sleep first, and we will go to sea when the sea boat is ready. It's okay if I arrange these for you, Commander The army definitely needs you to come, and you have to take good care of yourself.”
Qi Haoran fell into a drowsy sleep when he heard the words, and he told himself in his heart that Ah Ling was right, he had to get better, and Zijin might be floating in the sea pitifully waiting for him to rescue him, and he must never get sick again No, absolutely not!
As Qi Haoran thought about it, his internal force began to circulate involuntarily, his forehead slowly dripped with sweat, Mu Yangling wiped him with a towel, and Fei Bai quickly walked in, "Princess, Housekeeper Xia is here."
Mu Yangling put the towel aside and said in a low voice, "Call a boy to come in and take care of the prince."
Butler Xia was kneeling under the steps, Mu Yangling asked him to get up, called him into the room, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on, Telford didn't explain clearly, we still don't understand you Why do you want to test the sea ship?"
Steward Xia burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed again: "Madam, our master was deceived by Yu Cheng and the others!"
Steward Xia cried: "Our lord is interested in maritime trade, so he asked the chief steward to contact the maritime merchants in Guangdong, and wanted to intervene, but those foreigners blindly raise their prices because of the exotic goods, not to mention the maritime merchants in Guangdong, it is us The profit I can get from it is not much. My grandfather negotiated with them, but those foreigners raised prices one after another. Our grandfather couldn't help being annoyed. When has he been manipulated like this in the business field? So we united with Guangdong's maritime merchants to boycott No one bought goods from foreigners."
"But this matter can't just be deadlocked like this. It has to be resolved. Our master wants to reopen the coast, attract more foreigners, and let the people along the coast have another livelihood. But Yu Cheng said that the pirates are rampant, and the marines can't resist it. Pirates, reopening the coast will only make the pirates harass the people, and those foreigners are also clamoring not to come to the Guangdong port to stop. The maritime merchants who were originally with our master are a little hesitant, and some people start to contact those foreigners in private," Xia Steward wiped his tears and said: "At this moment, the Zhou family came to the door and said that they had secretly built a large ship a few years ago. Because the imperial court banned the sea, they had not been able to test the ship. Dedicated to do sea business with the Duke of the country. Our master was worried that there would be no chance to win people's hearts. He agreed without thinking about it. The foreigner gave in, so the Duke of the State wanted to test the boat himself, but he said it well at the time, he could go back and forth on the same day, or the next morning if he was not good enough, but there was no news after the trip, Yu Cheng and the others had passed. It took three days to start looking for someone. The slave thought it was a big deal, and it was fine if he disappeared on land. I have guards and secret guards by my side, and I can ride horses and kung fu, but at sea..."
