Dongfan, outside the city of Dayuan, the inland sea of the Taijiang River.

The Fujian Navy Division gathered all the warships in formation, lined up neatly on the sea, and solemnly welcomed the first assistant of the Ming Cabinet, Zhang Bin, the prince of Taishi Weiguo, and the special envoy of the King of Portugal, Shi Villa.

This is the first time after the revival of the Ming Dynasty in front of the European continental powers to show their strength, Zhang Bin attaches great importance to this, he not only let the Fujian Navy Division discharge all the warships, but also let the 80,000 Fuguang soldiers line up in a neat formation, lined up between Dayuan City and Dayuan Port.

Schwila looked at this lineup, shocked, this heart also became extremely steady, the strength of the Ming Empire has far surpassed Spain and even the Habsburg Dynasty, even if the anti-Habsburg alliance powers are all united, it is not necessarily an opponent, Portugal can have such an ally or backer, and no longer have to worry about being bullied!

Zhang Bin put out this lineup also has the meaning of reassuring Schvila, because he has to prepare for the specific matters of going to Europe in the past few days, and he definitely has no time to deal with him.

The people who participated in this meeting were not court officials, nor military generals, but some doctors, a group of doctors led by the Li family of Dongshengtang Jianning Pharmaceutical, and most of these people had gray hair and beards, and they looked like experienced old Chinese medicine doctors.

Zhang Bin was not verbose, after entering the conference room, he hurried to the main seat, bowed his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I won't say anything superfluous, I believe everyone has also seen the sailor fleet outside, and I believe everyone is about to lead the Ming Navy to Europe thousands of miles away. This is very sick in a foreign country, Zheng and Zheng Gonggong, who went to the West seven times, fell ill during the voyage, and died in a foreign land, only the soul returned to his hometown! ”

When the old Chinese medicine doctors heard this, they all sighed and nodded, these days, it is indeed quite a miserable thing to die in a foreign country, not to mention the famous Three Treasure eunuchs.

Don't just nod your head and don't speak, Zhang Bin saw that everyone was silent, so he could only say to Li Jianmu, the son of the Medicine Sage on the side: "Mr. Li, what do you say you should pay attention to when wandering outside so that you don't get sick?" ”

Li Jianmu is an old acquaintance with him, and the last time the civilians who migrated from the east had a large area of water and soil unsuitability, this old gentleman came to treat it, and the effect was quite good, basically it was all medicine to get rid of the disease, Zhang Bin still admired his medical skills.

Li Jianmu saw that he was named, so he could only give up his hand and say modestly: "Since Grandpa Guo has pointed to the old decay, the old decay will sacrifice the ugliness in front of all of you." The so-called disease from the mouth, the old man thinks, if you want not to get sick, you must first pay attention to eating and drinking, especially when you are wandering outside, the water can not be drunk indiscriminately, it is easy to give birth to the disease of water and soil adaptation, and the meals can not be eaten indiscriminately. Little Lao'er said so much, please give me a lot of advice. ”

It turns out that this is the meaning, the so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, peers may have the idea of competing, no one is convinced, everyone does not dare to take the initiative to speak, probably because they are afraid of being hated by everyone.

Zhang Bin nodded, thought for a while, and then said aloud: "What Mr. Li said is very reasonable, this point must be remembered, water can not be drunk indiscriminately, things cannot be eaten indiscriminately, be careful that the disease enters from the mouth, this is the first article, it seems that everyone knows some precautions for long-distance travel, but it is not good to rush to say, in this way, one by one, pick up the most familiar one and say, okay, start with this old gentleman, and stagger the wheel." ”

Li Jianmu, as the representative of the Li family in Dongshengtang, sat on the left first, and Zhang Bin said this time that he was the old Chinese medicine doctor who was the first on the right, and he didn't know who it was, but being able to sit on the right must also be a highly respected existence, and it should be right for him to speak after Li Jianmu.

Sure enough, the old Chinese medicine doctor gave up his hand and said: "Since the grandfather of the country has set the rules, starting from the old decay, the old decay will be ugly, just now Li Lao said is very right, the disease enters from the mouth, and you must pay attention to eating, but this person can't help but eat or drink, right, so what to eat and what to drink?" It is recommended to drink tea, the tea is bitter and cold, the yin in the yin, the sinking, the descending, the most able to reduce the fire. Fire is the source of all diseases, and regardless of yin fire and yang fire, tea can be lowered, so drinking tea has a certain disease prevention effect, especially when drifting outside, drinking tea soaked in boiling water can also resist waterproofing and soil. ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he nodded again and again: "Well, what this old gentleman said is good, you can't just say that you can't eat and drink indiscriminately, but you should also consider what to eat and drink, so that it is also convenient for us to prepare supplies, okay, the next one." ”

This time, he turned his head to the old Chinese medicine doctor headed by Li Jianmu, and everyone expressed their opinions one by one under his supervision, some said that they should pay attention to rest to enhance their own resistance, some said that they should eat all kinds of unfamiliar fruits, and some said that they should prepare medicinal materials to deal with unexpected needs, and some proposed various home remedies to prevent water and soil adaptation and excessive water vapor.

These people are not simple, many of them grew up by the sea, and even some of them have traveled to the sea themselves, and the suggestions they put forward, let alone Zhang Bin, some of them even Li Jianmu did not expect.

It is certainly not enough to put forward so many suggestions, but they must be written and distributed in strict terms, and some things must be prepared quickly.

Zhang Bin simply ordered someone to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and personally transcribed everyone's suggestions, sorted them into a rule, and made a list of materials, so that people could buy materials according to the list and prepare for the trip.

With his order, all kinds of supplies were gathered from all over Fuguang and even the capital Liaodong and other places, and the Fujian Navy Division and the Fuguang Army also began to prepare for the expedition.

Zhang Bin didn't brag, this time he was really ready to lead 100,000 troops to the European continent, go to show his muscles in front of the European powers, and at the same time let the King of Portugal sign the alliance treaty between the two countries, if time permits, he is also ready to go to Spain, and even Portugal and Spain's colonies in the Americas.

The team on this trip was quite huge, in addition to the 50,000 elite Fujian sailors and 50,000 Fuguang troops, as well as Zhang Bin's 5,000 personal guards, as well as accompanying officials, doctors, and even representatives of the major merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

This time Portugal opened all its overseas colonies, he did not plan to let Dongshengtang eat alone, because the area of Portugal's overseas colonies is too large, large enough to be comparable to Daming, and scattered all over the world, Dongshengtang can't eat such a big fat man in one bite, and Daming's taxes can't rely on Dongshengtang's family to support, all the major merchants have risen, and Daming's taxes can double up.

The major merchant gangs also reacted quite positively to the invitation of this grandfather, because this grandfather has never let them suffer losses, as long as they follow the grandfather, there is no one who will not make a fortune, so as soon as Zhang Bin issued an appeal, the representatives of the major merchant gangs are desperately rushing to the east.

Not only did they come with a lot of people, but they also brought a lot of samples of goods, because Grandpa Guo said that this time I went out to see some places where business was done, and I could bring samples to sell them by the way.
