Seeing Yuan Keli's vigilant eyes, Zhu Youzhen suddenly sobered up.

He is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and he Zhu Youzhen is a vassal king who is incompatible with the ministers of the Ming Dynasty by nature.

Xu Guangqi got close to him because Xu Guangqi had given up his career and concentrated on studying and promoting new crops.

The scholars of the real school can accept him because the scholars of the real school have the mentality of studying technology, and on the other hand, their own grade is also very low, and they do not have much hope of coming forward.

As for Ruan Dacheng's refuge in him, it was more because he was cornered.

After leaving Beijing, Lushun Zhang Pan became friendly with him because they went to the battlefield together and killed the enemy together.

Zhang Pan, a soldier who stands on the front line of the war, and is also a soldier who is alone behind the enemy and facing great pressure, he will not think too much about Zhu Youzhen's identity. can help him kill Tartar together, he is a good friend of Zhang Pan.

On Guanglu Island, Shen Yourong and Zhu Youzhen also have a certain friendship, that is because Shen Yourong is not only a military minister, but also an old man who is nearly 70 years old and wants to entrust his young son.

If he is more than 10 years younger, or if there is no Shen Shouyao, I am afraid that Shen Yourong will not easily make friends with Zhu Youzhen.

During this time, the smooth friendship with Xu Guangqi and other practical scholars, as well as Shen Yourong and Zhang Pan and others, made Zhu Youzhen slowly forget his identity.

It was only at this time that Zhu Youzhen was completely awakened by Yuan Keli's distant and vigilant look in front of him.

Who is Yuan Keli?

The right is the imperial history of the capital, the secretary of the military department and the governor of Denglai.

Yuan Keli is now a high-powered, modest-minded feudal official, and if he wants to go further, he can only be promoted to the governor or transferred back to the center of the Ming Dynasty. And having the fictitious position of the secretary of the military department made Yuan Keli immediately become an important minister of the six ministries with real power in his hands once he entered Beijing.

How could such a promising civil servant (dare) get too close to a vassal king like him, Zhu Youzhen.

Don't want a future anymore?

Therefore, Yuan Keli not only will not befriend him Zhu Youzhen, but will also widen his eyes, always vigilant, and always ready to expose him Zhu Youzhen's illegal behavior. Just like now, Yuan Keli's inquiry was obviously suspicious of Zhu Youzhen's desire to win over the border generals.

Looking at Yuan Keli's vigilant eyes, even if Zhu Youzhen told the truth about his trip to Lushun, Yuan Keli would not necessarily believe it.

Alas, the identity of this vassal king is inherently a thick shielding wall. In the Ming Dynasty, anyone who still has some ideas about the official career, who does not respect the vassal king.

is like Shen Shouchong, who can be regarded as a young talent, who came from Guanglu Island in a boat, but always kept a distance from Zhu Youzhen, I'm afraid it's not all because of Shen Shouyao.

Looking at Shen Shouchong's happy face when he was recommended by Yuan Keli, and the vigilance in Yuan Keli's eyes, Zhu Youzhen's heart was even more irritable.

Yuan Keli is not at all what he can make friends with now. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well take Shen Shouyao and the others to leave early and go to see the treasure ship that really belonged to him. The road that suits him Zhu Youjian is still doing business.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's displeasure, Yuan Keli's old face was hot, and he no longer continued to ask but quickly replied: "The shipyard is not far from here. However, His Royal Highness has come to the embassy for a long time, so let's stay at the pavilion first, rest for a few days and then go to the shipyard, right? ”

"No need, I got a few good boat operators from Old General Shen from Guanglu Island. If Lone's treasure ship is built, Lone will accept it first. ”

Looking at Shen Shouchong, who was directing the soldiers to reload the ship, Zhu Youzhen said with a little self-deprecation: "There are too many bags with a lonely belt, and it is inconvenient to load and unload. Instead of tossing repeatedly, it is better to be in place at one time.

By the way, Yuan Gong, the lonely treasure ship won't be unbuilt, right? ”

was blocked by Zhu Youzhen's words, and Yuan Keli breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

His Royal Highness the young King Xin couldn't stand being wronged, and he looked at this face faster than turning a book. The warm greeting just now choked you in the blink of an eye. This performance is like the authentic vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.

Secretly slandering in his heart, Yuan Keli pointed his finger into the distance.

"What Your Highness said, of course your treasure ship has been built, and the old man will never dare to bully the king. The new Zhen ship is over there. ”

In the drizzle, in the water village far away from the pier, you can faintly see several particularly large hulls, where they are docked steadily.

Yuan Keli's face changed for a moment, and he bowed deeply to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness, at this time, the war on the Dongjiang River is still raging, and you are in urgent need of money, food, and ordnance support. The old man implored His Highness to temporarily lend these treasured ships to the Denglai Naval Army. ”

Borrowing a boat? Still borrowing a boat in the name of the Dongjiang War?

Is Yuan Keli going to borrow a boat, or does he not want to hand over the boat to me at all.

Staring at Yuan Keli suspiciously, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be a little annoyed in his heart.

Seeing Yuan Keli, who was maintaining a bowed posture, with the gray hair exposed under his hat, the anger in Zhu Youzhen's heart slowly dispersed again.

That's it, he is borrowing a boat for the Dongjiang River to resist Jin, and he is also doing his duty for the Ming Dynasty. I'll give him this face.

After making up his mind, Zhu Youzhen said solemnly: "Gong Yuan doesn't have to be polite, he just borrows you." However, as long as the battle of Dongjiang is over, the ship must be returned to Gu immediately. ”

Zhu Youzhen particularly accentuated his tone on the words 'this battle'. He must remind Yuan Keli: borrow and borrow, but don't return his ship under the pretext that the war on the Dongjiang River has not ended.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Yuan Keli had a genuine smile on his face. Standing up straight, Yuan Keli gave Zhu Youzhen a deep look: "Thank you Your Highness for your understanding, as long as the battle in Dongjiang is over, the old man will return it immediately without delay." Your Highness, there is no new ship, you better unload your bags and go to the pavilion with the old man to rest and rest. ”

The drizzle came, and it was cold on Zhu Youzhen's face. Zhu Youzhen stared at Yuan Keli for a moment before answering simply: "Yes." ”

A few days later, a 30-year-old sea boat slowly wandered along the coastline of Dengzhou. Zhu Youjian stood on the deck, picked up the binoculars from time to time, and carefully examined the terrain on the shore.

Although Zhang Pan was unable to kill enough 100 Tartar pawns until the battle of Lushun was completely over, Zhu Youzhen still gave him a telescope and 10 tunnel pistols.

Before the development of the fire fuse, the explosive bag could only be ignited by ignition, and the time had to be calculated when used to effectively kill the tartar. And at this point of discovery by the enemy, the role of the telescope is irreplaceable. Only with the cooperation of the telescope can Zhang Pan give full play to the power of guerrilla warfare with explosives.

Killing 100 Tartar pawns was just Zhu Youzhen's attempt to stimulate Zhang Pan's enterprising spirit. With spare binoculars in hand, Zhu Youzhen was still very generous in supporting the frontline in the fight against the Tartars.

"Your Highness, take a sip of tea and rest first." Gao Qiqian diligently gave Zhu Youzhen a teacup.

I held the binoculars and scanned it again, but I still couldn't see what I was looking for. Zhu Youzhen put down his hand sullenly, took the teacup, Zhu Youzhen took a sip gently, and sat down on the recliner in disappointment.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Zhu Youzhen lost his mind for a while.

Zhu Youzhen did not expect that not only did the "Victory" have no hope of being built again in a short period of time, but even the entire Dengzhou Port did not meet Zhu Youzhen's expectations at all.

Dengzhou disappointed him too much.
