What the? Going to the New World?

Zheng Xi listened to Zheng Zhilong's words, and he couldn't wait to shave his ears. The old man and his brother-in-law are the richest and the richest, and Daming counts that the two of them will hold money, and the projects they are optimistic about can be wrong? Do you know what a fart you know when you learn scum? What a mouth? If you have the spare time to worry about the richest man and the richest money, it is better to review French and mathematics, and strive to do well in the next exam, why do you have to have a forty or fifty points (out of 100 points)? If you work hard for another two years, you will be able to move up to the second grade.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xi immediately said to Zheng Zhilong with a straight face: "Father, the child is very willing to go to the New World for you, but the child's studies cannot be delayed. It is not easy for the child to be admitted to the engineering school, and he must study hard, and he will be able to repay the adult's nurturing grace in the future. It's not early now, the child is going to read at night, and the child is leaving......"

After saying that, he was about to slip away, and when Zheng Zhilong saw that he was leaving, he immediately snorted coldly: "Stop!" You are a rebel and still have the face to talk about your studies? You were admitted to the engineering school? It's clear that your father and I bought it for you for 30,000 taels of silver. After you go in, you don't study hard, it's the first grade when you read and read, don't you blush? If you want to repay your kindness when you have completed your studies, my father must live a long life! ”

Zheng Xi hurriedly said: "Of course, my father will live a hundred years old, and the child will definitely honor you when the time comes......"

"Okay, okay, the old man doesn't lack a son for you, the old man has eighteen sons, except for a few little dolls who haven't been enlightened, who is not better at reading than you? The old man will let you go to the new world now! You have also read the books of the engineering school, drop out, don't embarrass me! ”

"My lord, I ...... To read! Zheng Xi really never dreamed that he would say such a thing, and it was sincere!

"Hmph," Zheng Zhilong snorted again, "You still want to study?" There's no chance...... Go on the road honestly, I won't treat you badly, Ming'er will let people go to Kou's house on the banknote street to propose! ”

The Kou family on the bank bank street is the maiden home of Kou Baimen, because Kou Baimen has served as the teacher for a long time, so the Kou family is the first on the Qinhuai River as a matter of course.

However, this first family is not innocent, and it is still a brothel, so no matter how talented and beautiful the young lady of the Kou family is, it is difficult for her to marry into the family of nobles and officials. And Zheng Xun got along with Kou Yumen, a young lady of the Kou family, which annoyed Zheng Zhilong, and he was like thunder, if it wasn't for Emperor Zheng's concubine not to let him (Zheng Chagu and Kou Baimen are good sisters), Zheng Zhilong would have sent someone to smash the scene on the banknote street.

Lao Zheng didn't turn his face when he saw his daughter's face, but he didn't agree with Kou Yumen to enter the door, and the two were happy, so he stopped him, the feudal father.

Now, in order to encourage his son to go to the Americas, he has also given up.

"When the time comes, let that Kou Yumen go to the New World with you!" Zheng Zhilong said.

"Well, well!" Zheng Xi gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, for the sake of love, he had to fight!

"Hey, good boy!" Zheng Zhilong nodded and said, "Your brother Damu has trained 1,000 iron warriors in Quanzhou, and he hasn't been in battle for many years, so my father came here for you and asked them to escort you to the Gulf of America."

In addition, Damu also built two new Wanshi bombardment gunboats at the Ishii Shipyard, which are said to be extremely strong and resistant to strong winds and waves. The Father has asked for it for you, so you can take them to America with confidence...... It's going to be fine! ”

"The child thanked the adult......"

Zheng Xi said thank you, but in his heart he couldn't help but complain to his father, can things at sea still be packed into tickets? This time I have to cross the Pacific Ocean, the wind is high and the waves are strong, I can't think about it!

......

"Huh? You want to go to the New World on behalf of your father? Okay, what a filial son! I am also a filial son, and what I value most is also a filial son. Is it okay for your father to stay in Japan alone to recuperate? Without your son doing his filial piety in front of bed, when will his illness be cured? ”

On the second day when Zheng Zheng Daxiaozi decided to go to the New World to investigate investment opportunities on behalf of his father, there was also a filial piety in the Huangji Hall of Laoshan Palace - Da Ming is a filial son!

This filial son's name is Wei Zhongzhong, who is the son of Wei Zaode, who accompanied his father to Japan before. And Wei Zaode and his son have been in Japan for a year, and they can go to the American Pageant together, but something happened - Wei Zaode fell ill!

At least what Wei Zhongzhong, who returned to the Ming Dynasty to report to Zhu Cihong on the progress of negotiations with Japan, said.

"Your Majesty," Wei Zhongzhong's forehead, who was sitting on an embroidered pier, was already sweating a little, "Minister, although the minister's father is sick, he is still worried about the king's affairs, so he sent the minister back to China to inform His Majesty of the negotiations, and also hopes to let the minister go to the Americas to preside over the development of the situation instead of him...... As for the courtier's father's condition, after a period of recuperation, he has improved, but his body is weak and can hardly withstand the turmoil at sea. ”

"Oh." Zhu Cihong was still a little worried, "Is it really possible to take care of your relatives without your relatives?" ”

How can there be no loved ones? Wei Zhongxin said: There are Japanese wives waiting for you, but it's comfortable...... It's a little bit of a joke.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are still a few envoys around my father...... It's just that he can't let go of the mess in the Americas in his heart, so he wants the minister to go over for him, so that the errand that His Majesty gave him can be done. ”

"Good, good, what a loyal minister!" Zhu Cihong actually didn't care whether Wei Zaode was really sick or pretending to be sick, what he cared about was whether there were capable people who could go to the Americas to "open up wasteland".

Wei Zaode can sit firmly in the phase for so many years, and there must be many powerful people in it, and his son Wei Zhongzhong is one of them.

"I can't treat your father and son badly," Zhu Cihong added, "Loyalty, have you heard about my plan to set up a United States of Shares in North America?" ”

"I've heard a few."

It's only been a few days since this matter came out, and not many people know about it, but Wei Zhongzhong's ears and eyes are so psychic, how can he not know?

"Let's leave one percent of your family's shares, too! The total share capital of the United States is 100 million, and one percent is one million, but it is not necessary to subscribe in full immediately, you can invest 5 percent first, that is, 50,000 taels. Zhu Cihong said with a smile, "You do it well, and in the future the New Island United States will have a share of your family!" ”

In the original plan, Zhu Cihong wanted Wei Zaode to run the area around the Gulf of the Americas as a feudal town of the Wei family.

However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and after the First Battle of Kagoshima Bay, the sea power in the Pacific Ocean was temporarily in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty could send personnel and materials to North America with great fanfare.

Therefore, it is inappropriate to make a small fight, and it must be done quickly!

Because the situation in Europe can be said to change, and the reasons for the change are very speechless...... Once Cromwell died, Charles II of the Stuart dynasty was restored.

And Charles II is now an ally of the Kingdom of Spain! If he had become King of England, England would have withdrawn from the war.

As soon as Britain retreats, most of France will also have to accept it when it is good...... Because what France wants most now is the Spanish Netherlands, and the Netherlands will not want to be neighbors with France. The present Netherlands did not formally join the anti-Spanish alliance, but the Dutch East India Company joined in.

According to the latest report received by Zhu Cihong from Li Shaoyou from France, the Republic Assembly of the United Provinces of the Netherlands has officially refused to join the anti-Spanish alliance.

And a considerable number of the many Spanish privateers operating in the English Channel came from the Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands!

In other words, the Netherlands actually adopted a pro-Spanish policy on the European battlefield. In the event of a major French invasion of the Spanish Netherlands, it is even possible that the Netherlands will join the Spanish side in the fight.

With France's current strength, it is impossible to challenge Spain and the Netherlands at the same time.

In addition, Li Shaoyou also reported that the French red-clothed prime minister Mazarin was secretly matching Louis XIV and the Spanish princess Maria. Teresa Married ......

Therefore, I am afraid that the excellent situation of the Eight-Nation Alliance beating Spain will not last long.

And once Spain gets out of the troubles in Europe, the Ming will be in trouble in the Pacific!

Therefore, Zhu Cihong must make full use of the little time left to firmly control the Gulf of the Americas!
