At noon, still in the Guifei Building, Li Yuanqing invited Chen Yougen, Meng Tang and dozens of other leading figures among Chinese businessmen.

At this point, Li Yuanqing's trip to Nanyang is basically coming to an end, and his job is to deepen the relationship, get closer to the relationship, and at the same time, enhance the confidence of these Chinese businessmen.

In the current situation, although Li Yuanqing and the Spanish officials in Manila have some 'small branches' that are not too happy, ~, Valen da Gama has no evidence.

In addition, Li Yuanqing has reached a compromise with the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the East India Company.

If Valen da Gama had to risk the world's condemnation and declare war on him Li Yuanqing against the world, then Li Yuanqing could only fulfill him!

But the fact is that although the governor of Manila is the supreme ruler of Spain in Southeast Asia and has the right to go to war, it is almost impossible for the same country, especially the Ming Dynasty, an orthodox huge empire, to go to war without the consent of the Spanish royal family.

In addition, Li Yuanqing has expressed his goodwill through Morientes, hoping to increase the trade of warships and cigars with Spain, and is willing to divert some good goods from the Ming Dynasty to Manila.

In this way, Li Yuanqing has flowers in one hand and a sword in the other!

As long as Valen da Gama doesn't have brain cramps, he still wants to sit firmly on the throne of his Governor of Manila, and he knows what to choose!

But on the Spanish side, it is just a small matter, and it is not enough to rise to the level of a large-scale war, but the Zheng family really gave Li Yuanqing a headache.

In the war with Spain, with the Portuguese and Dutch, as well as the 'united front' of the East India Company, and the support of many Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia, Li Yuanqing had plenty of room for manoeuvre.

But the Zheng family, their foundation at this time has not been completely moved to the land, and they are still in the name of pirates, even if Li Yuanqing now has so many Spanish warships, it is still quite difficult to destroy the Zheng family.

And to a certain extent, Li Yuanqing needs the existence of the Zheng family again, otherwise, the Chinese pirate group that is like ants and out of control will be even more of a headache.

It's still going to come little by little!

The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious, and what made Li Yuanqing most happy was that he saw Meng Qingzhu again.

Meng Qingzhu was still veiled, standing beside his father Meng Tang, helping him serve tea and pour water.

Next to him, Chen Zihua also learned to be well-behaved, and like Meng Qingzhu, he would never say more than half a word.

From twelve o'clock, the banquet lasted for about two hours, and in a cheerful and cheerful atmosphere, it came to an end.

And these Chinese businessmen also knew that Li Yuanqing had a bad hangover in the past few days, so they didn't drink with Li Yuanqing. After the banquet, most people remained sober.

Li Yuanqing came to the door in person and bid farewell to everyone one by one.

But when he arrived at Meng Qingzhu, Meng Qingzhu suddenly stuck to Li Yuanqing's side and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Li Shuai, these days, I will give you a surprise." ”

"Huh?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned, but saw that Meng Qingzhu had already run away with the fragrant wind.

What the fuck! Is......

Li Yuanqing's teeth were a little itchy for a while......

Back at the temporary base, Li Yuanqing thought that Zhang Baozhu and the others had already come, but they were told by the soldiers that Zhang Baozhu and the others had already dragged Niu Gensheng to go shopping.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

In the past few days, he has been busy like a dog, and for almost four or five days, he has not been close to women.

Fortunately, the main affairs have almost been dealt with, and at this time, Li Yuanqing finally has his own time and can rest and have fun.

In the past few days, he has been by Meng Qingzhu, a little beauty, and he is a little unspeakable......

He was about to go to Zhang Chunxue's female escort boat to 'rest and rest', but at this time, Ben Coster rushed over and reported to Li Yuanqing excitedly: "Honorable general, those craftsmen, there are nearly eighty people, and they have already agreed to your request. Call them in whenever you need them! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Under such harsh conditions, the white-haired monkey craftsmen who dared to stay should have some real skills.

"Tomorrow! Ben, my brother, you've worked hard these days. Later, I'll have someone send you your benefits! ”

Ben Coaster couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Honorable General, it is really an honor to serve you!" ”

After sending Ben Coaster away, Niu Gensheng went shopping with Zhang Baozhu and them again, Li Yuanqing greeted Yang Lei, ordered a hundred personal soldiers, and returned to the dock fleet.

Although Joseph has been appointed by Li Yuanqing as the first vice president of the Pan Pacific Trading Company, there are so many craftsmen on this trip, many affairs, and a thousand things, this guy, as the person Li Yuanqing is most familiar with, obviously cannot immediately take up his post in the Pan Pacific Trading Company, Li Yuanqing needs him, first stabilize these craftsmen, as well as the affairs of Changsheng Island.

Especially a few shipwrights, Li Yuanqing needs Joseph to comfort their emotions.

On the docks, it's business as usual.

asked Yang Lei to let dozens of personal soldiers inspect the surroundings, and Li Yuanqing took a small boat and came to the female escort boat on Zhang Chunxue's side.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, the female guards on duty here were very happy, and greeted Li Yuanqing with a respectful smile one by one.

The matter between Li Yuanqing and Zhang Chunxue is almost no longer a secret.

This also made many female guards look at Li Yuanqing with a little more indescribable and unclear meaning.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing has been through the storm for a long time, and he sent them away in a few words.

Zhang Chunxue quickly got the news, ran out happily, and hurriedly led Li Yuanqing to her small room.

There wasn't much nonsense, just like dry wood touching a fire, and the two quickly entered a fierce rhythm......

Although Zhang Chunxue is really far worse than Li Yuanqing's wives and concubines in terms of skills, the primitive wildness in her body is beyond their reach, and it is more in line with Li Yuanqing's appetite at this time.

After nearly an hour of 'fighting', the room finally fell silent.

Li Yuanqing lay comfortably on Zhang Chunxue's small bed and let Zhang Chunxue serve him.

The flush on Zhang Chunxueqiao's face had not yet dissipated, and she carefully helped Li Yuanqing clean up her ropes, but she whispered: "Master, you, you haven't come to see Qinghan for a long time." ”

"Huh?"

Li Yuanqing frowned, and also remembered the little girl who was originally very beautiful, but was black and thin like a native.

"How is she now?" Li Yuanqing looked into Zhang Chunxue's eyes.

"Qinghan has been much better than before in the past few days, and he has gained a lot of weight." Zhang Chunxue couldn't figure out Li Yuanqing's mind at this time, and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Take good care of her." Well, in the evening, let her come over for dinner! ”

"Thank you!"

Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but be overjoyed and took the initiative to give Li Yuanqing a fragrant kiss.

Li Yuanqing smiled and took her in his arms, stroked her silky waist, and said with a smile: "Chunxue, let's go quickly." Take a moment, you take Qinghan and go to the street to buy some things you like. We have only come here with great difficulty, and we can't go back empty-handed. Remember, buy some for your home as well. ”

Zhang Chunxue was even more pleased, and gently leaned on Li Yuanqing's arms, "Thank you, master." ”

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to stay at Zhang Chunxue's side for a while, but after a while, a female escort came over to report: "General, Joseph has something important to see!" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, this dog's Joseph, he really fucking knows how to pick the time!

However, Joseph went to appease a few shipwrights, and Li Yuanqing was really not good at this time, so he could only kiss Zhang Chunxue on the red lips a few times, and then reluctantly left the gentle township.

Li Yuanqing was on the boat, and Li Yuanqing met Joseph and a few white boatmen.

Each of them was carefully guarding a red cloth, which seemed to be covered with some kind of treasure.

These shipwrights, except for Ed Staffft of the British Royal Fleet, Li Yuanqing has seen them, and Li Yuanqing doesn't know the others.

"Huh. Joseph, my brother, is there any good news for me in such a hurry to see me? ”

Li Yuanqing glanced at Joseph with a smile, took out the humidor, and threw a cigar each.

Several of the shipwrights were visibly excited, carefully putting away their cigars, but did not dare to light them.

Joseph hurriedly helped Li Yuanqing light the cigar and lit it himself, and said with a smile: "Of course." Checkmate. I didn't expect Ed to make progress so quickly. General, in less than a month, they have already made a model of the ship, and they will be reviewed by you on the spot! ”

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed!

He had already guessed that it might be this thing, but he didn't expect that Ed and these people could be so fast.

You know, building a model of a ship is also an ingenious craft, which is basically to scale the real ship in equal proportions.

In Nanyang these days, Li Yuanqing has really absorbed a lot of advanced things from the Western world.

And the model of this ship is one of the core points.

The shipwrights of the British Empire were the first to start practicing the construction of ships, the first to build models, and to use the scale models to demonstrate rationality and find defects.

Even in this era, this technology has not yet fully spread.

However, Joseph was there, and before he went to Malacca, he coordinated with these shipwrights, asking them to build a model first, and give it to Li Yuanqing as a 'vote for name'.

And for the generous treatment under Li Yuanqing's command, and even an annual salary that can exceed one thousand taels, these white shipwrights are all out of the way, so they can do it so quickly.

After listening to Joseph's careful explanation, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Everyone, you are all the best shipwrights in the world!" Now, let's test the fruits of your hard work! ”

Ed Staffft couldn't help it for a long time, and said in broken Chinese with joy: "Honorable general, please look! This is a model of the latest battleship developed by the Royal Navy of the British Empire! ”

As he spoke, he carefully uncovered the red cloth beneath him.

When he boarded, a huge model of a ship full of sails and quite delicate appeared in front of everyone.

Mo said that it was Li Yuanqing, and several other shipwrights were also stunned.

They didn't expect Ed Staffft to be such a big spend!

This, this is a battleship!

In this day and age, the true king of the sea!

Li Yuanqing also squatted on the ground, carefully examining the model of the battleship from all angles.

After a while, he spoke: "Can you test the water now?" ”

Ed Staffft said confidently: "Honorable general, of course you can!" It is a humble honor to serve you! ”
