But at this moment, seeing the giant ship that was about to go to sea, and seeing the ambition to cross the seas, he confirmed that he had done it after all.

Maybe you won't be able to break through the South Seas in your lifetime, and maybe you'll be defeated at the hands of Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, or Britain.

Maybe he will be purged by the Ming court, he will be stabbed by Qi Jiguang, and he will be betrayed by Xu Hai.

Maybe you will get scurvy in the South Seas, you will catch a stubborn disease in the forests of India, you will die in war, and you will grow old as your years fade away.

But these are no longer important.

The gates of the East China Sea have been opened, and the seeds of ambition have been planted.

After all, the future belongs to us and China.

Yang Changfan proudly glanced at the sergeant generals, and under the boiling of blood, he used all his strength to shout the most brutal and pure slogan-

"Sweep the seas! Raise the prestige of our country! ”

The people in the front line heard it most clearly, and immediately raised their arms and shouted.

"Sweep the seas! Raise the prestige of our country! ”

The slogan was passed backwards layer by layer, and the sound shook east.

"Sweep the seas! Raise the prestige of our country! ”

After the whole army shouted, Yang Changfan raised his arms and ordered: "Line up to board the ship!" ”

Eight thousand sergeants, according to the previous order, were led on board by the captains of the ships.

The fleet went to sea with a total of 50 ships, the main force was composed of 40 heavy gunboats, each 20 zhang long, equipped with 14 jack-class heavy guns, the main naval battle, and the remaining 10 ships were either equipped with many cargo warehouses or oars, and the main raid cargo.

The flagship is named "Zheng He", the name is like its ship, imitating the treasure ship of Zheng He in the past, 37 zhang long, three layers high, with 12 sails, 12 cabins to prevent sinking, outer layers of thick plates, and the key parts are covered with iron sheet firefighters.

The reason why it was named Zheng He was only because Zheng He's seven voyages to the South Seas had already left a reputation, and he wanted to express his former friendship to the locals and his resoluteness to the enemy.

The launch of the huge Zheng He was a long process, and Yang Changfan did not have to rush to board the ship, but only made some final explanations with Hu Zongxian and others.

Zhao Guangtou Xu Wenchang accompanied the army to the south, and the people who could deter Hu Zongxian in force and intelligence were gone, and Hu Zongxian has gradually accumulated fame and gathered talents for more than a year, and now the officials and generals of the East have also experienced a certain degree of blood exchange, and it is no longer the Huiwang Mansion of the year.

Although Hu Zongxian's son was beheaded in Beijing, but his concept is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, for the so-called Zhao'an is afraid that it is stronger than Wang Zhi, the situation at that time, Yang Changfan had no political talent, in order to govern the East had to use this person, and now he had to guard against this person, once he sold the East to the imperial court, the foothold between Nanyang and Kyushu was lost, and to recapture it was afraid that it would be necessary to face Qi Jiguang Yu Dayou and other famous generals who were good at fighting, otherwise they would either entrench themselves in Nanyang or return to Kyushu, which was an unbearable result.

Originally, there was a very simple way to dispel this concern, as long as you brought Hu Zongxian's children and grandchildren on the expedition, if you had two hearts, they would feed the fish immediately, but they had an appointment with Hu Zongxian in advance, and their families were not restricted.

At this time, Yang Changfan realized how clever Hu Zongxian's three chapters of the law were at that time.

does not face the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and can't help his children and grandchildren, and whitewash his reputation.

These three points can be rebelled and retreated, and sincerity can be surrendered. Compared with dirty, Yang Changfan still lost.

But it doesn't matter, the dirtier characters are longer.

In the past, Hu Zongxian once pretended to coax Mao Haifeng with a holy decree, and then Wang Zhi showed it to Wang Zhi after he went ashore.

After that, the false holy decree was never destroyed, and it was always in Xu Wenchang's hands.

As long as this thing is there, Hu Zongxian will not have a living head in Middle-earth, this is the door of life.

Secondly, Hu Zongxian was in charge of political affairs, but he did not have any military power, after Yang Changfan left, the main military power was Wang Zhi's same clan, the old pirate and old leader, and his prestige was even greater.

Again, Yang Changfan left the special eight, and led twenty wolf soldiers to protect the personal safety of the great political envoy Hu Zongxian and his family, and never restricted freedom, we are just your family's bodyguards.

There are many constraints, but it is expected that Hu Zongxian is also impatient and has no heart to think about it.

Penghu Chiayi is equipped with elite soldiers and heavy artillery, that is, the Fujian sailors are really here, and they don't want to go ashore without breaking half dead.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what happens, don't abandon it. Mao Haifeng's thousands of people are entrenched in Cen Harbor and can still be defended for half a year, and our soldiers are well fed and fortified, so they can wait for me to return. ”

The deputy governor of Penghu Wei, Wang Xian, the same clan of Wang Zhi, immediately made a decision: "Ship owner, I dare not say that Moss Wan Mansion, as long as I am here, Penghu will never be lost." ”

Yang Changfan smiled and saluted: "With my uncle here, I don't worry." ”

After that, he turned to Hu Zongxian: "Political affairs must be implemented in accordance with our plan, for those who come to invest in Middle Earth, those who study must do errands, those who farm must divide the fields, those who are rich and noble must enlist in the army, and those who are virtuous and wise will enter the government, regardless of township or clan, they will be Japanese and golden, as long as they come to vote sincerely, bow their heads and salute, and abide by the law, they must be given a chance to settle down and establish their lives." ”

"Remember the advice." Hu Zongxian saluted, "I also wish the shipowner to relieve the siege of the subject country as soon as possible and return triumphantly." ”

As he was talking, the deputy merchant envoy led a group of people over, all dressed as businessmen.

Coincidentally, when Yang Changfan was still in Lihai, he inexplicably entered the Shaoxing Chamber of Commerce, the deputy business envoy Zhou Wentao was a person present at the time, in August last year, he invested in a big deal and was robbed by the Japanese robbers, owed huge debts, and fled with his family.

The group attracted by Zhou Wentao was none other than the Fujian businessmen who had been cooperating with each other, and when they heard that the shipowner was conquering Nanyi, they came to seek each other together.

What does that mean? You want to help my army? Yang Changfan naturally didn't believe that these businessmen would be so generous.

"Ship owner, the bosses have heard that the ship owner is marching south, and they have come to ask for their lives." Zhou Wentao attracted an elderly businessman, saluted and said, "These Fujian businessmen also tried to sell goods in Nanyang many years ago, but the Franc machine was entrenched in Nanyang, and all foreign ships were burned and looted. ”

Yang Changfan nodded at the old merchant and said, "Yes, my Hui Wangfu is the same for the Kyushu route. I opened this road, I guarded it, and the benefits should belong to me. ”

"Yes, but Boss Ma has a new proposal." Zhou Wentao took a step to the side.

Boss Ma stepped forward to salute first, and then said: "Ship owner, now our silver is thanks to the ship owner Jianpenghu, and our Fujian is grateful to the ship owner, this is not a lie." This time, the ship's main soldiers are well fed, the ship is strong and the guns are heavy, and the conquest of the South Seas will be successful. ”

Yang Changfan smiled and nodded, he knew that "but" was all nonsense before. (To be continued.) )
