194 The Tonghaiyi Road for Ocean Trade

Zheng: "Before Zhao Jiayu, he had a relationship with Zheng Zhilong. Even if you don't offend him, our family is not with them. Shen Defu said, "But at present, we are far from being able to compete with them." ”

"The child knows, so he has to train. Now, the previous Minzhuang, plus the ones brought back by your father and the ones raised from the victims, are only three thousand, these people are untrained, if it is a land battle, there is not much of a problem, and the naval battle ......" Shen Yue himself was a little embarrassed.

From the beginning of the previous food crisis, his own troops, until now, have not looked at it.

What is the situation on Daishan Island, Shen Yue himself does not know.

"What about the Francis? When are they leaving? Shen Defu's face became serious.

The son is still not doing his job as before.

If the Shen family wants to glorify their ancestors, this is a difficult thing.

"In the past few days, the child has been worried about the fire in the backyard, and he has never asked......," Shen Yue blushed.

These days have forgotten about the Frangi people in Java.

"If the Frangicans can get back safely, we can control the trade with them in the future. Whether it is the Eastern Ying Kingdom or the Ryukyu Kingdom, they are all controlled by the Zheng family's forces, and the only one who has a chance is Taiwan Island. Red-haired ghosts, pirates, and the Zheng family's forces have always been intricate, and we have to yearn for a foot in it, it is difficult to avoid the Zheng family, and the Franco machine is an opportunity. According to the news, the Francois are having a hard time now, especially the Spaniards of the Franco. Shen Defu's face became serious.

Shen Yue really didn't know that Dad had done so many things since he came back.

At least they know the situation.

"Dad, what do you have a good idea?" Shen Yue asked Shen Defu.

Shen Defu is a businessman, and he also went to Dongying and the Japanese country, and even brought back thousands of pirates.

These pirates, with a little training, as long as they are disciplined, are experienced sailors who have always been fighting.

"Let the Spaniards go back sooner, they bring a constant fleet of ships that can change the current state of affairs." Shen Defu said seriously, "Kent talked to me the day before yesterday, hoping that we can organize a fleet ......."

"He looked for you?" Shen Yue frowned.

Kent's grandson is not a good man.

"It's not something you've talked to them about." Shen Defu also knew that Kent completely wanted to snatch the white blade empty-handed. "I also know that we don't have enough warships at the moment, but I think this is feasible."

"Dad, have you ever thought about this? If our fleet gets to Europa and comes back, it will take two years. Shen Yue asked Shen Defu.

Today's sailboats, to get to Europe, have to be constantly replenished along the coast, around Africa, and then north to the Atlantic, which is too long.

In particular, the Dutch and the British in the Atlantic continued to loot ships that traded with the Spaniards.

"I think this matter is completely feasible, so that we can completely avoid the Zheng family and open up a trade route for our Shen family." Shen Defu knew what his son was worried about, "As long as Luzon passes, the Zheng family's power will not be so huge." ”

"Dad, we don't have charts, and no one has walked this route, in case the Spaniards are unreliable......" Shen Yue didn't think the Spaniards were completely reliable.

In this era, those who sailed on the seas were gamblers or criminals.

"No, in the Tang Dynasty, we had a road from Guangzhou to Haiyi, and the Zheng family's forces did not take this one." Shen Defu asked people to take a nautical map.

Shen Yue saw that there was too much difference between this map and the real world map.

Luzon seems to be not far from Guangzhou.

"This route is recorded in the "New Tang Dynasty Book Geographical Chronicles", and among the people I brought back, a few people have walked this route. From Guangzhou, travel along Annam across the island of Java and then to the Lion Country...... Now that Luzon is controlled, in this area is the world of the Zheng clan and the bandits, we can take a detour from the sea off Taiwan to Luzon, to the east to South America, and to the west to Europa......" Shen Defu pointed to the map and introduced to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue really had a headache about this map.

It's a pity that he can't remember the real world map at all, only a rough one.

"Dad, what do you mean?" Shen Yue frowned and asked.

When Cheap Daddy told himself about this alone, he definitely wouldn't just give him a briefing.

"If you are going to regain your fame, Dad won't talk about it, just study and test your fame with peace of mind; If you are really ready to fight Zheng Zhilong to the end, we must take the ocean route. Shen Defu said.

"What kind of fame is being tested! Even if you are admitted, when you have the right in your hand, you don't know that the Year of the Monkey is over, and this year, you have military power in your hands to ensure the safety of our family! Shen Yue said as he stared at his father's expression.

Read the book of immortals, and the goods are with the emperor's family.

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

These ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after all, for most people, studying and gaining fame and becoming an official is the king.

Shen Yue, a traverser, clearly knew that the Ming Dynasty would not last long, there were uprisings everywhere in the country, and the Tartars in the north were in the border from time to time, and there was no military power, and no matter how big the officials were, they had to lose their lives.

"You really don't want to be famous? This is your dream since childhood. Shen Defu looked at Shen Yue.

"Dad, that's what the child originally thought. After you went out, the child's reputation was innocently revoked, and everything in our family was lost, if it wasn't for the child's luck, where could we get it back? Even the Zhang family, if my father can't come back, it is estimated that he will ......" Shen Yue did not explain it, but he actually understood it very well.

If it weren't for the cooperation he proposed at the beginning that made the Zhang family tempted, and the Zhang family swallowed the Shen family's 3,000 acres of land, I wouldn't have said thank you.

Now, even if Zhang Qiaoer marries into the Shen family, the 3,000 acres of land will be returned to the Shen family so far.

"Military power, only with soldiers in hand, can everything be guaranteed!" Shen Yue said.

Shen Defu did not refute him as fiercely as Qin Yulian for not studying and not taking the test for fame.

"That's why you're doing this? Raising soldiers requires a huge amount of silver, and this point of our family is not enough at all, especially at present, although we have three thousand, whether it is firearms or ordnance, it is not enough. Shen Defu said.

Shen Yue immediately smiled, "Dad, we're not short of silver." ”

Immediately rebelled against Zhao Jiayu before, sent people to slaughter the Wang family, and then shot the Wang family's nearly one million taels of silver and gold, and even the Zhao family's more than 100,000 taels of silver were secretly robbed by Shen Yuehe.

Shen Defu was dumbfounded when he heard it.

"So, if we raise soldiers, we don't have money at all?"

"In a short period of time, there is not much money, and there will be no shortage of silver, but if the quantity is too large, there will be a shortage. After all, armaments, firearms, etc., as well as warships, all need our own money. Shen Yue said.
