In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), the year was the second day of the year, October 23.

This is a very ordinary year, even if Zhang You appears, except for Zhang Juzheng, who should have died this year, he is still his idle concubine, and Feng Bao, who should have gone to the Ming Tomb to grow vegetables, went to Mu Zong's mausoleum as a palm print, and the others do not seem to have changed much in the original history.

Uh, yes, the changes are still not small, at least Zhu Changluo's mother directly became Ning Guifei, and he himself became the righteous son of Sister Wang Xi of the main palace when he was still in his infancy, and I think that the battle for the national capital that will have a huge impact on the political situation of the Ming Dynasty in the future should not appear again.

And the successor to the throne of the Tatar Shunyi king is not Xin Ai, but his daughter, and the future direction will be completely different from the original history.

As for the collapse of the Xu Group, the birth of hot air balloons and hot gas electric telegraphs, the impact will be far-reaching, but it is not obvious at present.

Well, that's a bit far.

In the original history, in another five years, the Spanish fleet, a powerful maritime overlord with more than 1,000 warships and nearly 100,000 sailors, was going to go on an expedition to England to avenge Queen Mary.

Around them, there were many carriages of the same color, all of the same shape, which were naturally provided by the Yeshi Chariot Company.

The weather was actually very cold, but the two of them opened the curtains, and through the square window, they could see that the sky in the distance had revealed the white of the fish's belly, and a bright star hung high in the sky, cloudless, it was a rare good weather.

"Father, what do you think the Zhenhai will look like?" After chatting for a long time, the topic finally came to the purpose of everyone's trip.

This topic has been discussed countless times these days.

Luo Mingjian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Mary is tight-lipped, I have asked her several times, and I am embarrassed to ask...... If you want me to say, let's not guess, when we get to their sailor base, everything will naturally fall into place. ”

"yes," Castro couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't tell you, Father Priest, I didn't sleep well all night last night, although I don't believe that Zhang You can make a warship like our Spanish San Martin, but for some reason, this heart is not ...... steady."

"I know why you're not down-to-earth, because you think Zhang You is different from the Ming officials you've seen in the past, right?"

Castro's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "That's right, the priest said that I went to my heart, you don't say that I don't realize it, you say that, isn't that it." I'm actually quite conflicted now, from my own point of view, I naturally don't want Daming to have a warship beyond my St. Martin, but I can be in my heart, but I look forward to it very much, as if this is the only way to echo my perception of Zhang You. ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry, through my research on their culture and history, the Ming Dynasty is a country with a gentle personality and believes in the way of etiquette, even if they have a strong military force, they will not pose a threat to you."

"I hope so." Castro sighed lightly and suddenly laughed: "Look at my worthless one, I started to suffer from gains and losses before I saw the Zhenhai." ”

"Mr. Special Envoy is worried about state affairs, which is really admirable."

"The priest is far-sighted, commanding, and a model for my generation to learn."

Not to mention that the two Huaxia Tong complimented each other, Kayama Hisataka called the deputy envoy Koizumi Saburo to his carriage, and the focus of the discussion was also the Zhenhai.

Of course, because they were about to see the real face, the two talked for a long time and then brought the topic to Cai Chaoqi, and Kayama Hisaka said: "How much do you think it is possible for the Ryukyu Kingdom to declare war with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Shang Yong is young and promising, ambitious, not like a long-term resident, this time Zhang You is so unsympathetic, even Cai Chaoqi's old fritters were angry with the birth of a Buddha and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, just a little stimulation, go back to add oil and vinegar to say, I think at least seventy percent sure that they will refuse the Ming Dynasty's request, and when the time comes, please also ask the adults to seize this rare opportunity to persuade the Daimyo to send troops, and when both sides are defeated, it is just time to clean up the mess and catch the Ryukyus, the 'Wanguo Jinliang', into our hands."

"The general has coveted Ryukyu for a long time, and he will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, just the same, if the Zhenhai is really as powerful as Zhang You boasted, Ryukyu is afraid that he will retreat."

"How is that possible," Saburo Koizumi said with a smile, "Don't you know the level of their water master?" This naval division base has existed for less than a year, and I heard that the Zhenhai was designed and built by Zhang You, how old is he? No matter how powerful it is, how powerful can it be? ”

"yes," Huashan Jiugao smiled and said, "I'm concerned about it, and they can't build a powerful warship, this ceremony is just a joke!" ”

"yes!" Saburo Koizumi nodded, and laughed relative to Hisataka Kayama.

Cai Chaoqi sat alone in the carriage, looking at the scenery along the way outside the window, and suddenly heard a faint voice in front of him: "It's here!" The corners of his mouth subconsciously turned up, hooking a sneer.

The wharf was crowded with people, almost all the people of Chongming gathered here, plus the people from Songjiang and Hangzhou and other nearby areas who came to see the excitement, there must be at least tens of thousands of people. If Zhang You hadn't sent troops to pull up a long isolation net on the edge of the dock, and there were soldiers with loaded guns every few steps, how many people would have been squeezed into the sea.

The long cement passage between the wharf and the Zhenhai was only guarded by soldiers on both sides, and not a single citizen was in sight.

It may be because of the cold weather, the sea is shrouded in a layer of dense fog, and the visibility is not more than 50 meters, so after the people of the Siyi Pavilion got off the carriage, except for the people on the shore, they could only see two rows of soldiers extending into the dense fog, and they could not see the true face of the Zhenhai at all.

When there are more people, it seems chaotic, and there is a noisy sound, which is nothing more than talking about the Zhenhai number, and foreign friends gather at the entrance of the passage, while quietly waiting for Zhang You's arrival, while listening to the discussions around them, and from time to time they exchange a few words, making a disdainful and knowing smile.

"When the ......"

The crisp gong sounded, and the two high pennants first caught people's eyes, but they saw that the black letters on it were like a fight, and the left side read: The prince and the prince of the left army are in charge of the brocade guard and the head of the Lingge Office. On the right is written: Governor of the Maritime Governor, Ying Tian, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou Four Prefectures Military Affairs and Territorial Coastal Defense.

Zhang You was dressed in a new red python robe, and Yin Zhengmao Qi Jiguang, who was also in a red robe, as well as Wei Yunzhen, the governor of Susong, Wang Shizhen, the prefect of Hangzhou, Xu Wei, the prefect of Songjiang, Zhang Yunxiu, the prefect of Chongming, Zhao Yongjie, the commander of Chongmingwei, and other officials, as well as the new flying fish clothes embroidered spring knife brocade guards who did not stay behind, Li Yan, Chen Shi and other new flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives and brocade clothes slowly came down.
