"The fleet is back?"

Hearing this, the ministers were stunned for a moment, and Lu Chensheng stood up suddenly on the dragon chair.

He had pinned countless hopes on the voyage, and now he finally waited for the other party to come back, and he didn't know how many things he brought back?

Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng hurriedly walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Let's go, let's go to the dock with me."

Lu Chensheng's face was full of joy, and he couldn't wait, wanting to see the people in the fleet and listen to their reports.

The ministers responded one after another, and then followed behind Lu Chensheng.

Out of the palace, Lu Chensheng got on the dragon bowl, and the ministers followed behind.

They have a sedan chair outside the palace, but on such an occasion, if they make a sedan chair, it is not in harmony with the number of etiquette, so they all follow behind them all the way.

At this time, countless people had gathered on the dock.

Everyone was looking at so many ships and pointing.

"At the beginning of the year, I watched this fleet leave, and now in the summer, I finally saw it back, and it took half a year to come back and forth, which is really long!"

"yes, I don't know if this ship has reached the New World? I heard that the ship was looking for a new continent, but I don't know what happened. ”

"I've heard that when this ship left, it brought a lot of treasures with it, and I don't know how many million it was worth, and I don't know how many things it brought with it this time?"

The people on the side were all talking at this moment, and their faces were full of curiosity when they looked at the ship.

While everyone was talking, the guard of honor in the distance slowly approached, and the people were separated from each other.

Looking at this posture, the people didn't have to think about it to know who the person who came, and hurriedly retreated, for fear of colliding with the dragon.

Lu Chensheng got off the dragon and saw the dense ships on the dock, and the ships at this moment were repaired in many places, which was completely different from the brand-new ships when he left.

In addition to this accident, many traces of breaking can be seen on the ship, and the number seems to be less.

"Student Haiqing, I've seen the saint!"

Lu Chensheng was looking at the fleet here, and a group of people walked up to him, and when they saw Lu Chensheng, they made a gesture.

Lu Chensheng looked at it intently, and immediately smiled when he saw the person coming, "It's you, this time you will have something to gain by following the ship on a long voyage?" ”

Seeing the student in front of him, Lu Chensheng was still quite happy.

Haiqing didn't like research so much, and when he was on a voyage this time, he personally asked Lu Chensheng when he heard about it, hoping that Lu Chensheng would allow him to follow.

He wanted to see what the new continent was like, and he wanted to see it for a long time.

Lu Chensheng agreed, and there was a matter of him following the ship.

"Fortunately, this time the harvest is quite rich!"

Hearing this, Haiqing's face was full of joy, and then he handed over a list.

"This is the account that the commander asks to record statistics, please look at it."

Haiqing did not stop all the credit, but mentioned the commander-in-chief.

At this time, the commander on the side also saluted, and his face was full of excitement.

When he was elected as the commander of this time, he was elected by the ministers, and then Lu Chensheng made the final choice.

And he had never seen the Holy Lord, and at this time, he saw Lu Chensheng, and it was still so close, which made him suddenly feel a great honor.

"Well, no one has given you directions on your first voyage, and you have done a good job without charts."

Lu Chensheng still recognizes the ability of this commander.

It can be seen that the fleet also lost some this time, but on the whole, the other party still brought back most of the people, and also arrived in the New World.

It was a successful voyage.

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Fan Miao said excitedly.

Lu Chensheng looked down at the accounts and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble on this voyage?" What is the situation in the New World? ”

At this moment, the ministers on the side were all looking at the returning fleet, with emotion on their faces.

The old marks on this fleet can already be seen, what a hardship it has been through, and this voyage is not smooth.

"Back to the Holy Word, the storm at sea is too big, once the waves are up, although the ship is tall, but there is still a possibility of capsizing, there are many countries in the new continent, some are tribes, and several of them are quite strong.

When we passed through one of these countries, we wanted to make a deal with them, but they wanted to steal all our wealth, so we had to fight.

In this battle, we lost eighty-nine soldiers, thirty crew members, and forty seriously wounded, but we also captured a lot of jewels and gold, worth about two million taels of silver. ”

"What do you say? Eighty-nine soldiers killed? ”

Lu Chensheng frowned, not caring at all about how much jewelry and gold had been seized.

"How many people were killed in the battle we fought with the Tartars before, how did we lose so many people in a foreign country?"

Fan Miao's face was full of shame, "During the battle, our soldiers got off the boat, and when they were drinking water and passing by in the local area, many of them died because of food poisoning, or because they were sick and could not be treated. ”

They are not very familiar with that place, some of them have been bitten by snakes, some of them are sick, and many things have caused the number of dead soldiers to be extremely high this time.

Lu Chensheng sighed when he heard this.

In this case, it is no wonder that the other party is unfamiliar, and it is inevitable that they are not familiar with foreign countries.

It's just that so many soldiers have died in battle, which is really heart-wrenching.

"Have you brought back all the corpses of the soldiers?"

"Back to the Holy Church, because of the hot weather, plus the long journey back, the body was brought back after cremation."

In such a hot weather, there is really no way to preserve it, and if you bring it back along the way, it is difficult to guarantee that the rest of the things will not happen.

Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard this, if he is cremated, he will be cremated, it is better than not bringing it back.

"Confirm the location of the families of the fallen soldiers, send someone to send them over, and choose a good day to bury in the garden."

"Yes!"

As soon as Fan Miao heard this, he immediately nodded, "Holy Lord, the minister wants to personally send it to the soldiers' families..."

This time it was the team he led, and he didn't bring it well, so he wanted to send it in person to see if he could make up for it.

Lu Chensheng saw that Fan Miao's eyes were firm, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded lightly and agreed.

Actually, it's not a good thing to let him send it, but seeing that he is so resolute, Lu Chensheng also promised.

Knowing that so many soldiers had been killed in battle, Lu Chensheng's mind to take a closer look at the accounts was much weaker, so he put away the accounts and turned to ask about some situations in the New World.
