Lisa Minrini couldn't help but wonder that since the Battle of Liuluo Bay three years ago, there have been many skirmishes between Mingli and the Netherlands. Dutch warships repeatedly attacked the small naval divisions of the Ming Dynasty until they were completely defeated by Zheng Zhilong in 1639, losing their control of the East Asian seas from Japan to the South China Sea.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang Yue asked, "Why are you on that boat just now?" Are you Dutch? ”

The treatment of beauties is different, and Wang Yue doesn't bother to ask.

Lisa Minlini said: "My father was Schauzine Minri, we were Germans, employed by the Dutch East India Company. ”

Seeing that Wang Yue was very young, and his tone of voice was also easy-going, she didn't look like a bad person, and said with some hope: "Your Excellency Lord Mingguo, our merchant ship has sunk, and now there is nothing, can you let us go?" ”

Wang Yue said: "Your requirements are too high, you have to remember that your current status is a prisoner." ”

Then he had Showzin called him and said, "Mr. Schozin, I hereby inform you that I will hire your daughter, Lisa. ”

Schozin already knew that these people were armed by the Ming government, but he couldn't figure out why these people were so different from the Eastern Empire he knew, and there were strange things everywhere. This battleship, in particular, was completely beyond his knowledge.

He said nervously, "My lord, I apologize to you for our recklessness, and I hope you don't hurt my daughter." ”

What would happen to a beautiful daughter falling into the hands of the enemy, Schozin could not have imagined.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "We are civilized people, not barbarians as you imagined, and besides, you have no choice." ”

There was not a single female soldier in the entire fleet, so Lisa Minrini was assigned a separate cabin to watch over. In the future, the Tiance Army will inevitably carry out the Nanyang Raiders, and even the European Raiders, and translation is indispensable, not to mention a beautiful translator.

After the battle, the fleet continued its march towards Hirado. Wang Yue convened a summary meeting of the officers.

Li Zixiong made a report: "Our army fired a total of 223 shells, hitting a total of 29 enemy ships, and three warships of our army were not hit. ”

Wang Yue said: "The hit rate is already considerable, but the combat efficiency is not high. You must know that the range and power of our army's recoilless guns are not comparable to solid bullets. ”

He turned his head and asked Wei Xiaoliang, "Then why did the enemy ship sink after so many shells?" ”

Wei Xiaoliang touched his hair and said with some embarrassment: "Commander, we also know that it is better to attack the enemy ship below the waterline, but the launch on the ship is not as great as the land, and the shaking is too great." ”

Wang Yue said: "I don't mean to blame you, I just remind you that training should be strengthened and you should use your brains more in battle." ”

Then he asked Li Zixiong again: "Zixiong, who are some of the Dutch we captured this time?" ”

The detention and interrogation of the captives was the responsibility of Li Zixiong.

Li Zixiong said: "There is a captain named Derant, and the others are crew members and sailors. ”

Wang Yue said: "These people have been adrift at sea all the year round and have rich sailing experience, which is exactly what our fleet needs, you can think of a way to win them over." They lost two armed merchant ships and cargo, and they were likely to be punished when they returned, which could be exploited. ”

Li Zixiong said with some concern: "Commander, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" It was the first time he had contact with Europeans, and although John Tong often appeared in the starting point city, Li Zixiong did not communicate with him.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "These Europeans are also known as Hongmaoyi. They have come here from thousands of miles to ask for money, and they are not as difficult to deal with as you think. However, "

He turned to Wei Xiaoliang and said, "Xiaoliang, if these people are willing to serve our navy, they can be used as navigation consultants or something, and important positions should not be arranged." ”

Wei Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I understand my humble duties." ”

Wang Yue clapped his hands and said: "In order to encourage everyone's enthusiasm for training, all the personnel in this battle will be rewarded with five taels of silver per person, and those who hit the enemy ship will be rewarded with another ten taels of silver for each shell." ”

Everyone loves to hear this, Wei Xiaoliang took the lead in applauding.

Jingshi, it has entered December, the weather is getting colder, and snowflakes are already floating in the sky.

After about a watch, the whole city of Beijing seemed unusually quiet, and at the same time, it seemed particularly gloomy and desolate. At the intersections of the main streets stood soldiers, lazily watching passers-by. Many large houses have red or white paper lanterns hanging outside their gates, emitting dim lights.

In the center of Beijing is the center of the Ming Dynasty and the Forbidden City, the center of power. The huge Forbidden City was silently lying on the ground like an old giant beast in the night.

The Forbidden City is very large, and at the same time it is covered with many long alleys, in these narrow and long alleys, there are often givings carrying small lanterns, knocking broken gongs or bangs, and the shadow of the cowering appears for a moment, and then disappears into the darkness.

The slow, listless sound of gongs or bangs faded away in the wind, and most of the people fell asleep in the middle of the night.

It was late at night, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion was still brightly lit, and Chongzhen was still sitting in front of the dragon case as before. Zhu Youzhen is a diligent emperor, which is recognized in history, and he has to watch the twists and turns of the court and the court, no matter how big or small.

Suddenly, a fold attracted his attention, which was the excerpt of 26 million catties of grain paid by Yin Xie Baoqing of Shuntian Mansion, which shocked his spirit.

According to the fold, the grain yield per mu in the starting point city this year has reached more than 400 catties, especially a crop called potatoes, which has an output of more than 6,000 catties, which makes him both frightened and excited.

Xie Baoqing especially pointed out that half of the reason for the high grain yield in the starting point city is due to the availability of excellent grain seeds. The vicinity of Jingshi is not as good as Jiangnan, and the weather has been dry in recent years, so it is against the sky to have such a yield. If all the people in the world can use such fine seeds, why can't they eradicate famine, why can't they eradicate the homeless? It is a pity that he ignores the issue of land annexation and the starting point of the castle, and there are organic wells on the edge of the field.

Chongzhen stood up excitedly, paced in the hall, and then casually pushed open the door of the hall.

"Squeak......"

A piercing sound sounded, and as the door opened, a cold north wind flew in with flakes of snowflakes, and immediately woke up the two little eunuchs who were standing by the door and dozing.

When they saw that Chongzhen actually pushed open the door by himself and wanted to go out, the sleepy insects of the two of them suddenly flew out of the clouds.
