For Joanna's experience, Zhang Fan didn't have any other expression except helplessness, indeed, Joanna's experience is too common for Zhang Fan, no, for anyone who lives in this Central Plains land, or even lives in this world.

It can be said that today's Joanna encounters a sad and ordinary misfortune, sad because her experience is too unfortunate, not only lost the noble glory left to her by her ancestors, but also lost her official position, and even her only relative in the world, her frail and sickly mother also died because of the blow suffered by this incident, and not only these, she also has to look at the things that originally belonged to her, those things that were the only goal for her, was taken possessed by a person she didn't know at all, she hadn't heard of it, and she, the original owner, was deprived of everything because of some trumped-up charges, and this is not over, what awaits her is not the closed and depressed place of the prison cell that makes people want to go crazy, but the front line of the war, and she is no longer an officer, but an ordinary soldier, charging on the battlefield, which is the so-called cannon fodder.

To say that she is cannon fodder, and which kind of cannon fodder is mortal, of course, there is a reason, in this era, even if it is such as the Ming Dynasty or those countries with muskets in Europe, the mode of fighting is basically the kind of two armies facing each other, queuing up to shoot, which is difficult for a soldier to survive, although now, Joanna is in India, attacking those dynasties that still hold bows and arrows at most, but this does not mean that she can be much safer.

Therefore, Zhang Fan already knows her words in her heart, she said that if she can survive in a year, then she will give up everything in Europe and come to this strange country to start a new life, Zhang Fan also believes in her, and for Zhang Fan, a soldier born in a naval war and even heaven is indeed very valuable, but whether Joanna can come here depends on whether she can be favored and survive.

And the reason why Joanna's experience is ordinary, the reason is even simpler, indeed, Joanna's experience is very tragic and very sympathetic, but there are too many things like her in this world, it can be said that similar things happen all the time, maybe just when Zhang Fan thinks about it for a while, there are people who don't know where and where similar things have happened, the difference is just the size of the matter.

Even, Joanna's experience may be good, you know, although she is now facing the threat of death all the time, but she is still alive after all, there is still hope, of course, her hope of seeking justice is almost non-existent, and now she can only hold on to the hope that her life will improve in the future.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zhang Fan asked about other things, and he was most concerned about the thing: "Tell me about your trip, I didn't tell you where you were going, why did you come back so quickly, could it be that something happened?"

"This ......" Hearing Zhang Fan's question, Wang Xiliang didn't know how to answer for a while, and Zhao Xiande stood aside and didn't speak.

"There's something, but it's okay to say," Zhang Fan said.

"My lord, here's the thing," Wang Xiliang spoke, "the lowly people have inquired about these things in that Portugal, it is said that the Spaniards are now robbing things in that new continent, they took guns ashore, and instructed those local natives to help them mine gold and silver, it is said that Spain, a small country, has been transported back in a few years to collect taxes from my dynasty for nearly four years, and the lowly people are also hot to listen to, plus there are also orders from adults, and they also want to join in the fun, But it was Joanna who advised us not to wade into this troubled water,"

"How do you say that," Zhang Fan asked.

"She said that now Spain can protect this matter," Wang Xiliang explained, "for this reason, they specially got more than 100 warships, tens of thousands of sailors, saying that it was to fight against the British, but to put it bluntly, it was just to protect their ships transporting gold and silver, she also said that those Spaniards were a little bit of a money-hungry look, no matter who they were, if they dared to fight the idea of the New World, they would still open fire, and the lowly people brought three ships over. So after thinking about it, I still didn't follow it together, this ...... Dereliction of duty, please punish the lords,"

"Well," Zhang Fan nodded after listening to his explanation, and said, "You did the right thing about this matter, and I didn't think about it, if you really go, maybe it will be really difficult to see you come back,"

"Thank you for your understanding," Wang Xiliang said, "Also, what the lord mentioned to the lowly post seems to be the other side of the New World, but it is said that if you go there from that Europe, you have to make a big detour, and that road is also very difficult to walk, but Joanna said to the lowly position, starting from our Daming, all the way to the east, the boat can also be reached, this humble duty is a little confused, isn't this place Fang,"

Zhang Fan heard him ask, for a while there was a little speechless, he didn't know how to answer him, although the earth circle theory as early as two thousand years ago, there was an ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras put forward, but for thousands of years no one has been able to verify, and in China, the theoretical idea of "the sky is round and the place is round" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and it is difficult to dismantle it while being deep-rooted.

I know that 50 years ago, Magellan completed the first circumnavigation of the world in human history, and used indisputable facts to prove the theory of the circle of the earth, but although this statement is now accepted by Europeans, but for the Ming Dynasty, which has been closed for more than 100 years, I do not know this news.

"About this...... She also mentioned it to me," Zhang Fan thought about it, so he had to lie to him, "I didn't believe it at the time, but she said that there was a man named Magellan in their country who sailed west with his own fleet, and after three years, he finally returned to his own country,"

"This ...... This is really incredible," Hearing Zhang Fan say this, Wang Xiliang couldn't help but exclaim, and the people next to him were also amazed, after all, they had known the theorem for decades, and it was broken like this, where could they accept it.

"No wonder it's ......" and Wang Xiliang was surprised, and his face showed a look of "it turned out to be like this".

"No wonder, no wonder what," Zhang Fan asked when he saw his appearance.

"Oh, my lord, that's what happened," Wang Xiliang replied, "Then Joanna told the lowly about it, and handed over a book to the lowly one, and she said that the sea between our Ming Dynasty and the new world is called the Pacific Ocean, and someone once sailed through it, so there are any storms and rains on the Pacific Ocean, and it is recorded in that book, and Joanna heard that the adult has the intention of crossing the sea, so she gave the book to the lowly position, and asked the lowly job to be handed over to the adult, and I think that the person is the wheat that the adult just said...... Magellan, originally thought it was nonsense, so he didn't take it to heart, but now when I hear what the adults say, I think it's true,"

"Where is that book," Zhang Fan hurriedly asked, thinking that what Joanna asked Wang Xiliang to bring back was the voyage notes made by Magellan's fleet when he sailed around the world.

This is of course a very important thing, after all, although the Pacific Ocean is called "Taiping", but in fact it is extremely dangerous, if you rush into it without a little preparation, what kind of difficulties will be waiting, but it is impossible to know, now, with Magellan's navigation notes, then with the ships and navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to cross the Pacific Ocean, in addition to the time will be much slower, but it is not a difficult thing.

"The book has also been brought, and the lowly position will find out," Wang Xiliang said and was about to leave.

"I'm not busy, since I'm here, it doesn't matter," Zhang Fan said, "But I still have something to ask,"

"My lord," Wang Xiliang said.

"Have you done all those things on Fusang Island," Zhang Fan asked.

"My lord, this matter has been done," Wang Xiliang replied, "It is precisely because of this incident that the lowly people delayed for two months to come back, and the lowly people originally planned to go to Fusang when they went to sea, but at that time the ship to the north was too slow, so the lowly people planned to wait until they came back,"

Indeed, as Wang Xiliang said, if they didn't go there, they should have been able to come back two months earlier, according to the normal time.

"How's that going," Zhang Fan asked.

"My lord," Wang Xiliang said, "the lowly people went this time, bringing some goods and a lot of holy ...... The goods that the emperor did business with, the rest were those muskets, which were too easy to rust at sea, so he had to order people to wipe them twice in three days, but fortunately, this time he finally paid off, and this time he brought back a total of 10,000 taels of gold, more than 2 million taels of silver, of which 5,000 taels of gold were brought back from that Fusang Island."

After Zhang Fan heard this, he also sighed, these guns were brought out from the Ministry of War after he told Longqing at the time, a total of more than 1,000 guns, according to the cost of mass production in the Ming Dynasty, these guns can be made by converting to only ten taels of silver, and a thousand are only 10,000 taels of silver, but now they are exchanged for 5,000 taels of gold.

Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh, Fusang is indeed a place rich in gold, and now, the money there is very profitable.
