November is a cold winter, the south of the Ming Dynasty has already invaded the muscles, and the north of the Ming Dynasty is even more icy and snowy, but the Xingcheng Port in the South Seas is still as warm as spring, Zhu Cijiong is wearing a straight Chongzheng suit and stands on the bow of the super giant ship Daming, feeling the warm sea breeze, and his heart is very comfortable.

This trip to Europe was unexpectedly smooth, he just took a lot of lip service, and in exchange for the alliance treaty between the Ming and Spain and Portugal, now the anti-Habsburg alliance powers have been contained in Northern Europe, this Far East will soon become the world of the Ming Dynasty, by that time, the Ming will be so strong!

Just as he was full of pride and was about to plagiarize a classic poem of later generations and force it, a pair of jade hands appeared on his shoulders, and Queen Qin Mingyue put a black cloak embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon on his shoulder, and reproached slightly: "Your Majesty, why did you run out to blow the wind again, the sea breeze is cold, the humidity is heavy, and you will catch a cold if you blow too much." “

Zhu Cijiong obediently tied his cloak and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is not about to arrive at Xingcheng Port, I want to see how spectacular the four fleets of the Ming Navy are gathered together, thousands of warships, it is rare to gather together, don't you want to see it, Queen Mother?" “

Qin Mingyue glared at him slightly, and said lightly: "You know how to fight and kill, you still have to think about how to explain to Sister Anna when you go back." “

With that, he turned around and floated away.

Zhu Cijiong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately frowned and thought hard, oops, it's really troublesome, because he left in too much hurry, and he was worried that Princess Anna's thin body would not be able to withstand the fatigue of the journey, so he didn't take her with him, and he was afraid that he would be blamed to death this time!

The rows of brocade guards standing with knives beside him are all deaf and clear-sighted, and they naturally heard the conversation between the queen and the emperor, and at this time they all forced a smile and looked into the distance, they didn't dare to look at the emperor's embarrassment.

Not long after the fleet moved forward, the huge Xingcheng Port was finally in sight, Zhu Cijiong stretched out his hand, took the telescope from Cao Huachun, and looked in the direction of Xingcheng Port.

At this time, more than 1,000 warships of the Nanyang Naval Division and the South China Sea Fleet were already neatly lined up on both sides of Xingcheng Harbor, although they were relatively close, they each occupied a sea area of more than ten miles, and almost half of the entire strait was covered by dense warships, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Zhu Cijiong glanced at the Beiyang Naval Division and the Beihai Fleet in the left and right rear, and there were more than 1,000 warships, slowly advancing in a neat formation, the power was also terrifying, nearly 3,000 huge warships appeared in a narrow strait at the same time What is the concept, what is the feeling of the entire strait being covered by dense warships?

Zhu Cijiong didn't know how others would feel, he only felt that his heart was full of pride, so many warships, such a powerful navy, in the Far East, who else was Daming afraid of, at this moment he actually had a desire to start a war immediately, let's start, the battle for hegemony at sea, Daming is ready!

Just when he was fierce and fierce, the Daming just sailed into the sea area between the Nanyang Naval Division and the South China Sea Fleet, and the flag-bearers on all the warships on both sides raised the order flag in their hands at the same time, and there was a muffled "boom", and the officers and men of the Nanyang Naval Division and the South China Sea Fleet knelt on the deck at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Welcome to the emperor's holy drive, long live my emperor, long live long live!" “

Zhu Cijiong nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand and said, "No courtesy, flat body." “

The flag-bearer on the Daming quickly sounded the flag, and then there was another mountain shout: "Emperor Xie." Then, with a "bang", 200,000 soldiers stood up at the same time.

At this time, Zhu Cijiong pointed his telescope at the port directly in front of him, where there were Zheng Zhilong, as well as the generals of the various armies in Nanyang, as well as the high-ranking officials of the provinces of Jiaozhi and Nishang, as well as the vassal kings and high-ranking officials at all levels of the four kingdoms of Donghu, Siam, Annam, and Champang, he just wanted to see what the expressions of those vassal kings were now.

After searching for a while, he finally found those vassal kings and subordinate kings in the crowd that hurriedly got up, at this time they were all looking at the sea with frightened faces, and their expressions were beyond the scope of submission, but awe, deference, and even fear, Da Ming was really too powerful!

The reason why Zhu Cijiong recruited them over was to let them see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, to make them afraid, and to make them dare not have a rebellious heart, and now it seems that this effect is not bad.

Next, there was another set of performances, the Praetorian Guards and Jinyi guards poured down from the battleship like dumplings, protecting the entire port tightly, and then there were rows of eunuchs and palace maids, and the whole landing process lasted for nearly an hour, and those vassal kings and subordinate kings were already frightened to the point that their hands and feet were weak, and where did they dare to give birth to the slightest rebellion.

After the port greeted, Zhu Cijiong sat on the dragon chariot, under the heavy protection of the Praetorian Guards and Jinyi Guards, and slowly walked towards the Nanyang Governor's Palace, both sides of the street were already crowded with merchants from the Ming Dynasty and various countries, and for a while kneeling on the mountain and shouting long live, exclamations, and cheers were endless.

However, Zhu Cijiong didn't have the heart to pay attention to these people at this time, he still had a lot of things to arrange.

He also had to meet with the vassal kings of various countries, and urge them to open a branch and obtain scholars, and promote dragon coins;

He also met with officials in Jiaozhi and Nichin, and encouraged them to develop production and improve people's livelihood.

More importantly, he also had to meet with the generals of the various legions in Nanyang and arrange the next major actions.

After entering the Nanyang Governor's Mansion, Zhu Cijiong did not rest for a moment, but directly asked Zheng Zhilong to lead him to the large conference room of the Governor's Palace.

Qin Liangyu, commander of the First Army of the Praetorian Guard;

Cao Wenzhao, commander of the Guanning Army;

Mao Wenlong, commander of the Dongjiang Army;

Qin Gongming, commander of the Dingliao Army;

Li Mingfu, commander of the Wuwei Army;

Ma Xianglin, commander of the Second Army Corps of the Border Guards;

Huang Long, commander of the Beiyang Naval Division;

Zheng Zhihu, commander of the Nanyang Naval Division;

Yang Geng, commander of the North Sea Fleet;

Zheng Xing, commander of the South China Sea Fleet;

Commander of the Siamese Legion, Yu Shilu;

Wang Xuebing, commander of the Donghu Army;

Wang Xueshu, commander of the Annan Army;

There are also Jinyi Wei commanding Wang Zhengnan and Zhennan Wang Shizi Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as Zhu Cijiong and Zheng Zhilong entered the door, all the generals immediately stood up in unison and stood there straight, like a guard of honor waiting for review.

Looking at the shining stars all over the room, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but smile and nodded, he first let Zheng Zhilong go to the lower left, and then ascended to the main seat, and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, sit." “

With a "bang", all the generals sat down together, but one by one they still raised their heads and chests, with a solemn face, although there were only more than ten people present, but they gave people the feeling of thousands of troops!

Zhu Cijiong nodded with satisfaction again, and then said to Zheng Zhilong: "Zheng Aiqing, has there been any recent movement of the combined fleet in Batavia?" “

Zheng Zhilong immediately replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, they didn't make much movement, but every time they sent warships to escort merchant ships, so that Shi Daxuan and them had no way to start." Recently, their merchant ships have come and gone more and more frequently, and the escort of warships has become less and less. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he pondered for a while, and then raised his head and said to Wang Zhengnan: "Come to Xian, send someone to keep an eye on their treasure ship." “

Wang Zhengnan immediately arched his hand and said: "Weichen obeys the order." “

Zhu Cijiong turned to Zheng Zhilong again: "Inform Shi Daxuan that they must not let their treasure ship return to the European continent, and if necessary, they can send the South China Sea Fleet to assist in interception!" “

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, is this going to war?" “

Zhu Cijiong nodded slightly, and then said fiercely: "Hmph, all this money belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and they don't want to transport it back to Europe!" “
