"Andre, the cargo has been loaded, when are you going to leave?". Ma Qiang asked Andrew.

Li Ling led the fleet out of the fishing village.

Now the person in charge here is Ma Qiang.

Before Li Ling left, he had confessed that he wanted him to assist Andre in handling matters related to the voyage.

Originally, the Franc man only brought one merchant ship, and the cargo loaded was very limited.

Andrea, this guy pestered Li Ling and said that the other party had added a few more merchant ships to him!

"This is what it looks like!". Andre muttered to himself and walked to the seaside.

Boxes of porcelain were loaded onto the sea.

Horses of silk were also placed on the ship, and several merchant ships emptied almost all the silk of the Lu family that had been transported.

There are also many literati calligraphy and paintings, which are added by Ma Qiang in order to curry favor with Li Ling, although Andre does not think that these can make money, but fortunately, the price of calligraphy and painting is still cheap, and it is not much to lose after all.

Other handicrafts such as gold and silver jewelry were also brought with me!

The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that the profits from this lying trade had to be shared equally with Li Ling, but thinking that he was about to revitalize the entire family, his regret was ignored.

In Franc, who can have such a large fleet, except for people from the military and the royal family?

He will definitely be very satisfied with his return to his hometown this time.

It's no wonder that such a big battle doesn't cause a sensation! When the time comes, maybe you will be able to be received by the king like your ancestors!

It is a great honor that he will be remembered by future generations.

The great Andre created the glory of the family, pushing an originally inconspicuous small family to a new peak.

Thinking of this, Andre smiled with satisfaction.

"Andrew, do you really think our voyage is safe? Do you want us to hire some more sailors just in case? ”。 Ma Qiang quietly walked over and asked.

When Li Ling left, he handed over the stall to Ma Qiang.

He was not only responsible for coordinating with Dachang Qianzhuang and helping Andre to get the supply of goods, but also going to sea with him later.

Although the crew members are all from the Ming Kingdom, Andre can't play any tricks, but the bird has no head and does not fly, after all, it still needs a leader.

The burden on Ma Qiang's body is not easy, and the lives of hundreds of sailors are on his shoulders.

Li Xie Yuan trusts him so much, Ma Qiang can't be sloppy in doing things.

The fishermen all know how to build ships, and when he and Li Ling improved their firearms, many people came to help, and it would be beneficial for everyone to hire some such people to help on the boat.

"No, the Franc machine people I brought over from the ship are all good helpers, they can not only drive the boat, but also know how to fire all kinds of firearms, plus the soldiers left by Li Jieyuan, safety should not be a problem!" Andre replied in an unusually confident tone.

From the Ming Kingdom to the Franc Machine, this sea route has been verified many times, and the Chinese people have walked countless times, and they have never seen anyone encounter pirates.

The pirates and pirates of the Ming Kingdom were mainly concentrated on the surface of the East China Sea, and they were rarely difficult to attack.

In the past, the Ming Kingdom imposed a sea ban, and foreign tribute ships only came to pay tribute once in three years, and the date was uncertain, where would there be pirates staring at the envoys coming from the west?

To make a living by robbing these people, the pirates would have starved to death long ago!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for him to be so confident.

"Since you don't think you need more guards, let's leave, but be careful and bring some more shells!"

The few warships left behind by Li Ling were all equipped with firearms, although they were all old-fashioned Francophone guns made at the beginning, but if the shells were sufficient, their power should not be underestimated.

With a huge number of artillery, even if you do encounter pirates, you will definitely beat them to the ground.

"Eventful!". Although Andre was not satisfied with Ma Qiang's verbosity, he still accepted his suggestion.

The shells made by Li Ling have also been rebuilt, and it is good to take a few back and test the specific composition.

"Let's go" Andre looked at the fleet of such a lineup, and said to Ma Qiang arrogantly.

The fleet slowly faded away, and finally disappeared from the sight of the villagers.

The head of the Li family has been very beautiful recently.

The squires handed a petition to the prefect's yamen, but it fell into the hands of the prefect.

It's not very easy to sit in a seat for group training, don't you see your predecessor Zhang Yuanshan dying tragically at home?

Organizing and training militia to fight against the Japanese was the new policy/policy of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor and all the ministers are staring at the southeast coast! Ningbo Mansion as an estuary is naturally the first to bear the brunt, and the imperial court should pay attention to it.

The prefect is in a hurry, and this is not easy to find for the dead ghost.

I didn't expect that there was really a lack of heart in this world, and the head of the Li family automatically came to the door.

The prefect is excited, the squires are all good people and know how to solve problems for themselves. He made a proposal without consulting with his master: agree to the proposal of the villagers.

The prefect was as good as a stream, and appointed a new regimental training envoy.

The head of the Li family is happy, their family has not been an official in several lifetimes, and they should glorify the lintel!

The Li family made great efforts, and after making huge concessions in business, the other families reluctantly agreed to hand over part of their forces to the Li family's command.

More than 30 three-masted ships and 40 three-masted ships.

His flagship also had two huge cannons "borrowed" from the government at a high price.

What a force this is!

The pirates and the Japanese turtles, seeing such a majestic fleet, still don't run away from the wind?

When the sea plague is eliminated and the emperor rewards him, it will be the day when he will be crowned with his wife and son!

"The Lu family, Li Ling. You wait for me, one day, I will want you to look good! ”。 The head of the Li family muttered in a low voice, he was full of hope for the future!

"Master, everything is ready, the sea is calm, is it time to set sail?" The butler approached slowly and asked the master softly.

After following the master for a long time, he naturally knows the temper of the other party, and when the master is contemplating, he is the most annoying to be disturbed by others.

"No, we'll rest on the shore tonight and leave early tomorrow morning!" The head of the Li family ordered in a deep voice.

Li Ling has just set off, and it's still early!

The head of the Li family decided to go to sea later, and it was best to let you and the pirates fight to the death first.

They can reap the benefits of the fishermen.

"Step, step"

Just as everyone was about to get off the boat to rest, the sound of horses' hooves came!

"Listen to me, your ship has been requisitioned, now please disembark from the ship!"

It was the father-in-law of the East Factory who came.

The head of the Li family had sharp eyes, and he recognized at a glance that this was the left-behind eunuch Li Gonggong in Nanjing.

He sat down on the ground, and it was all over.

Everything is frightening, the Li family has paid so much, but in exchange for this result.

Gonggong Li took control of the fleet with dozens of guards and drove the head of the Li family off the ship.

After driving the idlers off the boat, Gonggong Li asked a middle-aged eunuch as if flattering, "Are you sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on Li Ling's ship?" ”。

This middle-aged father-in-law is actually Liu Jin!
