In the seventeenth year of Taichang, the Great Wei fleet, which had been sailing for eight years, arrived at the dock of the capital. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the five big ships when they first set sail, when they came back, the Great Wei fleet actually had three more big ships, one big ship was full of all kinds of rare things that had been touring various sea countries in the past eight years, and the other two ships carried guests from other countries, including the kings and nobles of some countries.

Emperor Taichang and his ministers welcomed the return of the king of Nanping.

After eight years, King Nanping looks thinner than eight years ago, and he is tanned, it is estimated that he is not very comfortable on the voyage, but the essence in his eyes has not disappeared, and the whole person is also full of energy, but his temperament is more restrained.

Emperor Taichang stepped forward, and the king of Nanping took two steps forward and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, my brother is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

"Good, good!" Emperor Taichang stretched out his hand to help him get up, looked at his rear carefully before saying, "It's been hard all the way." ”

Chang Runzhi looked at them, and his eyes subconsciously searched for Chang Ou.

After a while, she saw Chang Ou, chatting with a woman of different races, and there was a cute doll of three or four years old standing next to her, and at a glance, she knew that she was a mixed-race child.

Chang Run was shocked, Tao Tao, who was already a big girl, also saw her fourth uncle, and immediately said: "Mother, that's the fourth uncle!" ”

Chang Runzhi answered, and Tao Tao wondered, "Who is he talking to?" ”

Chang Ou inadvertently swept it and happened to bump into his sister's sight.

He grinned, leaned over to pick up the doll, and put his arm around the shoulder of the alien woman beside him, the meaning was obvious.

Tao Tao gasped: "Mother, the fourth uncle is married overseas!" ”

"Yes, yes......" Chang Runzhi nodded, but he didn't expect Chang Ou to really find a foreign daughter-in-law......

Heck, his kid is so nice.

Chang Runzhi couldn't wait to hug the doll and be intimate.

The greetings between Emperor Taichang and the King of Nanping came to an end for the time being, and the queen did not see the figure of the princess of Nanping, and couldn't help but look at the king of Nanping suspiciously.

King Nanping said calmly: "In the fourteenth year of Taichang, she died of illness and was buried in Isowa's hometown manor. ”

King Nanping looked back and said, "Isowa is now Changou's wife. ”

The queen sighed: "The king of Nanping mourns." ”

"The imperial sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, this is something that both I and she have thought about, and it is not unacceptable." King Nanping was very calm and looked at Emperor Taichang: "I came with my brother, and I also had some friends from overseas, and they all wanted to come to Dawei to see what such a civilized country looked like, so I came with my brother, and the emperor brother still asked his ministers to set up a department to receive foreign guests as soon as possible and entertain them well." The courtiers felt that trade with the open sea could be launched. ”

Emperor Taichang nodded, and then arranged for someone to entertain the guests, and he summoned the king of Nanping into the palace to talk.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Taichang sat at the top, King Rongjun and King Nanping sat on the left and right below, and Liu Jinglong, the third prince who had been crowned king, stood beside Emperor Taichang.

King Nanping said gently: "We sailed along the edge of the land, did not dare to go too far from the edge of the land, and saw many other ethnic customs. The younger brother has to say that the royal brother's arrangement of this voyage is really of great significance. From the point of view of the younger brothers, if our Great Wei still only pays attention to the affairs in the territory of the Great Wei, I am afraid that it will not be long before the other countries will invade with naval troops. The minister's brother's trip was somewhat used to show off his prestige, but it made such ambitious foreign countries fearful. ”

Emperor Taichang's face was solemn: "How do you say this?" ”

"Isn't the meaning of the twelfth brother that there is a desire to train naval soldiers to invade other countries' open sea countries?"

"Exactly." Wang Nanping nodded cautiously and said: "Compared to us, they may have a more difficult life for the people, because of the lack of resources, so they are committed to developing simple but lethal firearms and weapons to rob external resources." According to the younger brothers, their level of weapon-making may still be above ours. ”

Emperor Taichang couldn't help but let out a slow breath.

"If the foreign countries are strong, then the Great Wei is in danger." Emperor Taichang frowned and pondered.

King Nanping said: "Judging from the current situation, either the sea is forbidden and the possibility of foreign countries attacking each other with naval soldiers is eliminated." Otherwise, they should start training the navy diligently and actively forging firearms, so that if that day comes, they will not be powerless to fight back. ”

Liu Jinglong watched Emperor Taichang ponder, and after groaning, he spoke: "Twelfth uncle, I don't know something. Since the Gentiles have seen Uncle Twelve's ship, why can they let Uncle Twelve come back and give us news? ”

"Everywhere our ship went, there were warm and friendly people, and there were people who were wary of resisting. If we see that the situation is not right, we can naturally leave as soon as possible. ”

Liu Jinglong nodded, looked at Emperor Taichang and said, "Father, the son thinks that since the fleet has been built, the navy must be trained, and the fortifications should also be carried out. However, blindly waiting for others to make a counterattack is no different from treating Xianbei back then, and it is not advisable. On the basis of continuing to develop exchanges with foreign countries, it is better to also learn the skills of foreign firearms making, and when the time is ripe, the Great Wei will go to sea first, and include the small foreign countries in our Great Wei vassal states. ”

In recent years, Emperor Taichang's reign has begun to tend to be stable, but Liu Jinglong, the next emperor who is determined, is ambitious.

After all, Jiangshan has to explain his hands, he has the intention of expanding the territory, Emperor Taichang does not object, but he is afraid of underestimating the strength of the opponent, but instead sends sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Emperor Taichang thought for a long time and said, "Let's train the navy first, and then decide not too late after getting acquainted with those foreigners." ”

He looked at Liu Jinglong and said with relief: "It's good to have goals, but don't be ambitious." The road is walked step by step, go in a hurry, beware of wrestling. ”

Liu Jinglong nodded yes.

There are many strange-looking people in the capital, and although everyone is used to seeing the appearance of the people of the Western Regions, it is still a little difficult to accept the stranger appearance of those foreigners.

The people of the capital could not understand what they said.

Chang Runzhi felt happy, in this world, there are black and white people, their languages are also different, but they can hear the Latin system to some extent.

Chang Ou's wife Isowa is a Caucasia, with golden nearly white hair and a pair of green eyes, Chang Runzhi thinks it is very beautiful, but the Chang family is somewhat unacceptable.

But who told everyone else that their children were born, and their son, Rayleigh, was a young man, but he was an interpreter for his mother and father's family.

When Liu Tong and Chang Runzhi went to Chang's house, they saw everyone talking and laughing around Ruilei, probably because they had never seen dolls like this, especially their own species, so they were both curious and happy.

Ray is very outgoing, and when he sees someone coming, he greets them generously: "Hello! ”

Liu Tong flowed back to him with a sentence of "Harrow".

Because there were two ships of foreigners coming to Great Wei, Emperor Taichang opened up an embassy department to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for them. Liu Tong has been there several times and has also learned a little about the language of the Gentiles.

In the past few days, listening to the story of the king of Nanping on the voyage, Liu Tong also has some yearning for the outside world described by the king of Nanping.
