Masts and sails!

Zhu Guoqiang didn't know what the ports of Ningbo, Guangzhou and other places looked like in this era, but when the ship entered the sandbank, the scenery of the mast sails like a forest made him can't help but open his eyes wide.

As far as the eye can see, there are sea ships, not the kind of three-masted or four-masted ships that can enter the river or the sea, but tall sea ships, even the smallest sea ships are more than 30 meters long, and there are even large ships with a length of more than 50 meters, and there are even double-layer gun windows!

"It's actually a double-layer cannon window!"

"Lord Shizi, look, the one with the double-decker gun window is Li Ying's ship, and the ship is a big bird ship that sails on the Black Water Ocean."

Following the direction of Wan Shouqi's finger, a five-masted ship came into Zhu Guoqiang's eyes, although it was a "bird boat", but the whole ship did not look like a bird, but more like a huge strange fish. The bow of the ship has a large mouth shaped like a strange fish, with teeth growing on the side of the tongue and large eyes. The mast and sail resemble the fins of a strange fish, while the tall, backward aft tower resembles the tail of a strange fish. The whole ship is colorful and luxuriously decorated. The tooth-like objects on both sides of the bow may have been nails to prevent pirates from boarding the ship.

After approaching the big ship and feeling its height, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but think.

"Could this be a Chinese-style sail battleship?"

With this kind of doubt, Zhu Guoqiang climbed onto the ship, and after getting on the ship, he looked at the deck gun position, and he was stunned to find that the gun on the gun position was actually a "Franc machine".

Slightly surprised, the girl's crisp voice came into her ears.

"Hey, you're the one my dad said?"

When the voice came, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walking over, her appearance was extremely standard, her smile was sweet, and she looked a little like Nozomi Sasaki, but she had been on the water for many years, and her complexion was slightly dark. The dark eyes swirled around without the slightest twist.

"Look at the horns on your head, why do they say that you are the son of the dragon and the phoenix, did you hide the horns......

The little girl had the idea of reaching out to find out, but just as she was about to do it, she was interrupted.

"Emi, Hugh is rude!"

I saw a middle-aged man in his forties leading several people to shout at him.

"Grass people Li Ying see the prince of the world! The little girl Yu Fanbang didn't understand the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, which made the prince laugh. ”

"Ship Master Li is polite, hurry up and be polite! Let love be innocent, it is really true temperament! ”

Zhu Guoqiang said politely, and at the same time smiled at the little girl, this little girl is very interesting, and then walked to the top of the tail cabin under the guidance of Li Ying, where tables and chairs have been arranged, and after a simple politeness, Li Ying was also direct and directly picked out his request.

"Shiziye, you are the grandson of the dragon and the phoenix, if you say it, we will never have the slightest doubt, as long as the grass people have a question in their hearts, that is, how can Shiziye guarantee that he will find an official position for me in the future!"

Faced with Li Ying's question, when Zhu Guoqiang raised his eyes, he saw a sharp light flashing in his eyes. This kind of "One Piece" who has been selling the sea for decades is really not simple, such a look is seen in Liu Liangzuo, a general who has been torn off on the battlefield for decades.

Seeing that the prince didn't speak, Li Ying continued.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the prince when I say it, the reason why the grass people care about this matter is because of an old incident decades ago, when the grass people and Brother Yan, Zheng Yiguan and other twenty-eight people worship as brothers, and want to become a big thing in Pingdo, but because of the good sex greedy cup, and after getting drunk, he is good at talking nonsense, confiding secrets to the women around him, who expected that the woman was afraid that her family would be connected, and rushed to report to the official, so that the matter was leaked, although Brother Yan and the brothers fled to Pinghu overnight, but in the eyes of the brothers, the bad things were the grass people, So an official will inevitably have a grudge against the grass people, now an official is a guerrilla general across the Fujian Sea, under is a thief, and he is an official, and he must not stand alone, in the next does not want to be like Liu Xiang and others, by the name of the government to kill him, so I want to seek a future for the brothers' net worth, I don't know the prince, how to make me believe, the prince will definitely live up to us, for us to seek a background. ”

I see!

Zheng Yiguan is the famous "King of the Fujian Sea" Zheng Zhilong, Li Ying wants to take refuge in the government, to put it bluntly, he wants to take refuge in the government, so as to save himself from being "exterminated" by Zheng Yiguan under the pretext of being in the future.

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Guoqiang took a sip of tea, and then said.

"If I say that I can guarantee you as a guerrilla and a general soldier in the future, you will definitely not believe me......

Looking up at Li Ying and the others, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"You must think in your hearts, I am just a clan, even if I am the son of the world, what can I do? The affairs of the government are the affairs of the government, and the government and the clan are definitely not all the way, so my guarantee must not be counted, right! ”

Looking at these ship owners who have passed through many storms on the sea, these are all well-informed masters, and if you want to convince them in a few words, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, like them who are both businessmen and thieves at sea, there is no substantial benefit, and they will definitely not easily sell their lives for themselves.

It's more important to make them believe in themselves!

But how can you get them to believe in themselves?

Just by verbal promises, I'm afraid it's hard to convince them, these "ship owners" are not ordinary mountain kings, and if you want to convince them, you have to come up with something substantial?

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Guoqiang set his eyes on the tall girl on the bow of the boat, and thought thoughtfully.

"You're welcome!"

When Li Ying smiled and responded, he suddenly heard the prince ask:

"I wonder if the daughter of Ship Owner Li is allowed to marry someone?"

As soon as this statement came out. The boat fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone showed puzzled expressions on their faces, even Li Ying opened his mouth in surprise, only that Yun San looked at him ecstatically, and his eyes shone with excitement, as if he saw a dazzling mountain of gold and silver.

In fact, more than a dozen people here, I don't know how many ups and downs they have gone through for so many years, and they have always wanted to say that they are from the same background, after all, as the saying goes, "wealth does not return to their hometowns like brocade clothes at night", they naturally hope that one day they can return to their hometowns in bright and honest clothes. If they can exchange silver for a background, even if it costs hundreds of thousands of taels, they will never frown.

But after so many years, there are more than three or five "pirates" who have been recruited and killed, how many people can be reused by the government after being recruited like Zheng Zhilong?

Zhao'an, everyone is willing, but they all have different ideas about Zhao'an. But the first one must be to save his life after recruiting peace.

"Back to the world, although the little girl is already a cardamom year, she has never promised to be married."

A strange expression flashed in Li Ying's eyes, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of the prince.

"Then I don't know if the owner of the ship is willing to marry Ling Ai to me as the second concubine!"

Yes!

Li Ying was instantly moved, her daughter was the second concubine of the prince!

This is a blessing for several lifetimes!

"As for your origins, hang them in the palace first, and be the general of my royal mansion! I can't be the master of the government, but I can still be the home of the palace! ”

"Oh, the prince is benevolent!"

Li Ying, who was quite excited, glanced at each other with everyone, and then quickly got up and said.

"From now on, the peacock flag will only be the head of the world, if this oath is violated, Mazu will not be protected!"

As a modern person who grew up in the new century, Zhu Guoqiang certainly didn't care much about words like oaths, but when they swore an oath, it naturally showed that from then on, the "Peacock Flag" would become his command. Compared with the oath, I am afraid that the closer thing is still the relative!

Relatives by in-law!

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many emperors married their daughters in order to entrap a certain courtier.

Now Zhu Guoqiang is the same, but he is just a second concubine, but for Li Ying and others, it is already a great favor.

marrying the vassal king, they can't even think about it in the past, it's even more incredible than Zhao'an.

With this relationship, Li Ying's "Peacock Flag" naturally became Zhu Guoqiang's Peacock Flag.

Zhu Guoqiang certainly has his plans for this maritime force that owns more than 200 ships of all sizes, and this plan is not only the Northern Expedition, but will also be the foundation for him to build a navy in the future.

It's just that now, everything is for the Northern Expedition, in order to smash the Yellow Dragon.
