Zhu Cixiao is not without experience in sea navigation, but his so-called experience is nothing more than following Emperor Chongzhen from the Mughal side along the coastline all the way back to the Ming Dynasty, nothing more.

This time from Sakhalin to Pengrai, it was a real sea voyage - there was no coastline in sight, nothing but the endless ocean, and the occasional seabird or two felt very intimate.

But fortunately, that so-called sailing experience finally made Zhu Cixie's recovery faster than Zhu Cihong, and he was even in the mood to comfort Zhu Cihong.

After cheering himself up, Zhu Cihong walked to the deck with Zhu Cixie's support, and the distant port also began to get busy, and a large number of warships began to move outward, making room for the warships of the East China Sea Fleet.

Zhu Cihong, who was still like a dead dog just now, suddenly came to his senses: "Suffocate the palace!" Barbarians, this palace is here, ready to die! ”

Zhu Cixiao glanced at Zhu Cihong, who was suddenly resurrected with full blood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can make a barbarian who is deflated by the whole guard, it's not easy to get along with, everything is better to be careful." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "Brother Wang, rest assured, the younger brother can save the tricks and will not come wantonly." ”

Nan Juyi nodded and said: "Yes, since the three years of Chongzhen, my Daming has never suffered such a big loss, this time the barbarian should not be underestimated." ”

While a few people were talking, the battleship Denglai had already sailed into the port, and Mao Wenlong was also waiting in the port with a large number of horses.

As soon as Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong stepped off the battleship, Mao Wenlong hurriedly saluted the two, and then looked at Nan Juyi with a confused expression: "Nan Shuai, what is this?" ”

Nan Juyi said painfully: "Don't ask the old man, the old man also found out that the eldest prince and the second prince were on the ship a few days after going to sea."

By the way, how is the battle going now? The old man brought three more integrated guards, and the ammunition was also prepared, plus the three you brought over, these are six integrated guards, presumably they can sweep the barbarians here, right? ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly snorted and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for now, it's important to settle down and rest first." ”

After Mao Wenlong walked forward for a while, Nan Juyi found that a large number of soldiers were doing the work of building a city, and there was no sense of vigilance, and a subtle feeling suddenly rose in his heart: "Build a city? Unguarded? And what about the barbarians? ”

Mao Wenlong snorted again, and stretched out his hand to point to Zhang Xianzhong, who looked stupid next to him: "Fart barbarian!" A good thing that Zhang Kewang did in his family! ”

After Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong glanced at each other, they suddenly felt a little bad in their hearts.

When the two of them were in the palace, they read in the morning, were thrown to the young army in the afternoon to learn the relevant knowledge on the battlefield, and were arrested in the evening to accompany Emperor Chongzhen to review the chapters, not a rookie who didn't understand anything.

As soon as I saw this formation, and then saw Zhang Xianzhong's face, I probably understood what was going on.

It is estimated that the information this time is wrong, not a guard was killed by the barbarians, but the troops of a guard station swept across the entire Penglai Continent and killed all the barbarians!

Sure enough, without waiting for the two to ask, Zhang Xianzhong bowed down with a dark face and said: "The two highnesses, Nan Shuai, it is really a dog who can lead the troops to clear out the barbarians, and the speed of advancing is too fast, and the news is not sent back to the soldiers left behind in the port, which has caused a big misunderstanding." ”

The few people who had just entered the big tent and sat down all had pain, especially Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong.

For the North Sea Fleet, even if Zhang Kewang's intelligence is wrong, it doesn't matter, it's just that he saves the effort to fight with the barbarians, and can transfer migrants instead.

The same is true for the East China Sea Fleet, where a lot of energy can be put on the Mughal side and continue to block the sea routes of the barbarians.

And it's not good news for Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong.

Two princes, one has just been canonized as King De, and has not yet designated a fief, and the other is to throw away the pregnant princess after getting married, and the two of them ran out secretly and pit the eldest princess.

The crime of sneaking out is big enough, and I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive after I go back, and then think about the sister of the two, the eldest princess Zhu Jingxue's demon king nature......

God is pitiful, after paying such a big price and not having a barbarian, the two of them have to go back after going to sea for a while, this feeling is simply indescribably sour!

After looking at each other for a while, Zhu Cixiao set his eyes on Zhu Cihong: "What should I do?" If we go back like this, let's not talk about how my father will clean up the two of us, just Sister A's ......"

Zhu Cihong, who was shivering, said, "Don't you mention the imperial sister?" Besides, this time you pitted the imperial sister, and you didn't bring her here, so it doesn't have much to do with the younger brother! ”

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was skimming the relationship quickly, Zhu Cixian suddenly sneered: "Don't forget, it was you who took your sister from the capital to Sakhalin, and when the time comes, your father will definitely be indispensable if he investigates it." ”

Mao Wenlong and Nan Juyi quietly glanced at each other, and immediately lowered their heads, carefully observing the ants under their feet - don't care if there are ants or not, this kind of big drama of two princes tearing apart, it's better not to watch it or not.

Zhu Cihong said: "Sister A's side is actually not a big problem, as long as our brother is willing to spend his blood and get Zhang Shize first, Sister A's side is estimated to be able to explain the past."

The biggest problem now is that my father took my sister out of the palace and ran to Sakhalin, and the two of us went to sea without permission, I don't know what my father is angry about now. ”

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong suddenly said indignantly: "These damn barbarians! If there are some barbarians here, as long as the two of us brothers pacify the barbarians, we will be beaten at most when we go back, and it is not a big deal.

But now that the barbarians here have been wiped out, where will our brothers go to clean up the barbarians? If you don't have military merits, it's a big thing to die when you go back! ”

Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong glanced at each other again, and suddenly became worried.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Jingxue is easy to do there, no matter how Zhu Cihong cheats her, it was born from the same mother, and the relationship between the sister and brother is good, even if Zhu Jingxue is angry, it is a big deal to have some blood, and Zhang Shize is a good one, and the rest of the problems are not a big problem.

Only Emperor Chongzhen, if he has military merits, he can be beaten lightly, and after coming out to play a circle, he will go back, except for being hung up and pumped, it is estimated that there will be no second possibility.

The only thing I can look forward to is who will do it - it's better to say something if it's not Fang Zhenghua, if my father does it himself or let Fang Zhenghua do it, it is estimated that he will have to lie in bed for a month or two......

The two brothers who were sitting in the city of sorrow were not even interested in the delicacies of the mountains and seas that Mao Wenlong had ordered to prepare, even if these things had never been seen in the Ming Dynasty.

Nan Juyi doesn't have a headache for these two brothers, he is a crime of negligence, and he can eat how he wants to eat now, and he doesn't have to worry about being smoked with these two brothers.

After finishing the meal, Zhu Cihong cheered up and said to Mao Wenlong: "Mao Shuai, there can't be a barbarian left on this Penglai Island, right?" ”

Mao Wenlong muttered: "It is naturally impossible to say that there is no barbarian left, but the barbarians near the north have been eliminated, and most of the remaining barbarians are in the south."

According to the current intelligence, the barbarians in the south are the people of England, and they call the south New England, and the population is not much. ”

After finishing speaking, Mao Wenlong said shyly: "Speaking of which, whether it is those French barbarians or English barbarians, they are really nothing!"

After these two groups came to Penglai, they once relied on the help of the local indigenous people to gain a foothold, but now these people are hunting the original residents on a large scale.

And it's also strange to say that the original indigenous people here look almost the same as my Ming people. ”

Zhu Cixiao and Zhu Cihong glanced at each other again, and said in unison: "Yin Shang relics!" ”

Mao Wenlong also glanced at Nan Juyi, lowered his head and drank tea.

It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes, and the two sons of Emperor Chongzhen are also all talents-the remnants of Yin Shang know that they are used to fool ghosts, and no one will take it seriously.

But these two brothers can think of such a shameless statement in this short moment, and it is really quite fatherly......

Zhu Cihong didn't have a headache anymore, and said excitedly: "Mao Shuai, why don't you lend two guards to my two brothers?" ”

Mao Wenlong said: "It's not a problem for the two guards, but how can His Highness ensure that he doesn't rush to the front when the war starts?" If there is any difference between the two highnesses here, the lower officials will not be able to explain to His Majesty. ”

Zhu Cixiao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about Mao Shuai, my brothers and sisters are just here to see how the soldiers can pacify the barbarians, but they will not rush to the front, and they will not cause trouble to Mao Shuai." ”

Lao Tzu believes in your ghosts!

Mao Wenlong didn't even believe a word about Zhu Cixie's statement.

These two young masters have the courage to infiltrate the fleet, what else do they dare not do?

Besides, Emperor Chongzhen's master has not taken the lead in the battle once or twice, these two masters and Emperor Chongzhen are like carved out of a mold, their guarantee is to listen to it, and if it is true, they can only say that they are too naïve!

After the two brothers took the two guards to the south, Mao Wenlong, who stayed in the port, said: "The two highnesses are both of the same temperament as Your Majesty, and this time those barbarians have suffered. ”

Nan Juyi stroked his beard and said, "During the years that this governor has been in the South China Sea, he has finally seen one thing clearly. ”

Mao Wenlong said curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Nan Juyi said: "Mao Shuai knows that no one dares to covet any fleet of ships flying my Ming flag in the South China Sea, even if it is a merchant ship?"

Among the many customs, which one is not the priority to let my Ming fleet navigate? Many pirates, which one is not looking at my Ming fleet from afar, even if he knows that he can get a great benefit from grabbing it, he only dares to wait and see from afar?

Does Mao Shuai know why? ”

Mao Wenlong said: "This is naturally afraid of my Ming Dynasty's maritime strength." My Ming fleet is strong, naturally we can treat many barbarians and pirates as nothing, my Ming fleet is weak, I am afraid that they are not only robbing at sea, but I am afraid that they will come to the coast of my Ming Dynasty to scourge. ”

Nan Juyi nodded and said: "It is this reason, the Ming Dynasty is strong, the Ming people are strong, they are fearless among the countries, the Ming Dynasty is weak, and the barbarians regard my Ming people as pigs and sheep, and they will kill if they want to, just like what happened in Luzon back then." ”

Hearing Nan Juyi mention the matter of Luzon again, Mao Wenlong's expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

During the Wanli period, the Ming Empire after the three major expeditions was no longer able to wage war against the Francois in Luzon, so it could only issue an edict to reprimand it, which was actually a peace with the mud.

This kind of thing doesn't matter if it's in the people, but in the army of the Ming Dynasty, it's a great shame!

However, even if it is a shame, don't you have to endure it? There is no silver in the treasury, and the Ming Dynasty does not have an invincible fleet, and it is naturally impossible to go on an expedition to the Franco.

Even in the Battle of Korea, those Japanese slaves were spared because they did not have enough powerful warships - if Zheng He's fleet was in his hands, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would have been killed on the Japanese mainland!

After cheering up, Mao Wenlong said: "What Nan Shuai said is true. In fact, the original barbarians on this island relied on the strength of France and England behind them, so they dared to slaughter the original natives on this island.

Listening to Zhang Kewang, they were polite at first, and they thought about letting Zhang Kewang take them to Daming for trade, but later when they talked about who owned the Penglai Continent, there was a conflict. ”

Nan Juyi snorted coldly and said, "A barbarian who doesn't know how to die! What about the French barbarians, the old man doesn't know very well, but what kind of English barbarians are just a small island country in the land of Europa, and the fleet of that country is beaten by Zheng Zhilong's horseman, what's the big deal?

Now you still dare to compete with me for the ownership of this Penglai? I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

Mao Wenlong said: "Not bad. It is also because my Ming is so strong, Zhang Kewang can take a mere guard to the power of this Penglai continent, if I am weak, I am afraid that the result will be completely reversed. ”

After a sigh, Nan Juyi said: "In this matter, who doesn't want their country to be strong?" ”

Mao Wenlong said hesitantly: "There may be a few fools like that, after all, I have a population of 30,000 in the Ming Dynasty, and it is normal to have a few fools." ”

Nan Juyi said unappreciatively: "Then send them to death!" Who doesn't know His Majesty's temper, how can he tolerate the existence of those little people? My Daming railway needs a lot of labor, and I don't have to worry about having no place to arrange. ”

When Mao Wenlong heard the word railway, he suddenly came to his senses: "By the way, on this Penglai continent, it is possible to build a railway?" Did Nan Shuai hear anything when he came? ”
