Zhu Di, who was about to receive 100 million taels of silver, did not maintain his good mood for long. The fleet that went out to sea to catch whales www.biquge.info has finally returned, but compared to the ambitions of the first time it went out, the whole fleet seems very decadent.

More than a hundred warships went out, and less than a hundred returned, and none of those who used small boats came back. The loss of this whale capture is not disastrous, and the only thing that comforts Zhu Di is that he caught a calf.

Li Ba was wet as if he had just been fished out of the water, his face was full of bad luck, and he didn't know what he had experienced? Actually made such a mess of himself.

"Master Hou, I'm back, his grandmother's, this whale is really extraordinary, and almost my life was explained on this sea." Li Ba was obviously still a little afraid, and his words revealed a palpitating tone.

Tang Ming didn't know what Li Ba had experienced, he only wanted to know how heavy the loss of the fleet was, and with a dark face, he asked in a deep voice, "How about the casualties?" ”

The expression on Liba's face instantly became even more bitter, and he said hesitantly: "Almost half of them are back...... Nothing more! ”

"Smack!"

As soon as Li Ba's words fell, Tang Ming, whose face was angry, raised his foot and kicked him in the stomach, and Li Ba was defenseless, Tengteng took a few steps back and almost sat on the ground. Li Bagang, who was stunned, looked up at Tang Ming.

I saw that his face turned red with anger, and he scolded: "When I was leaving, Lao Tzu told you this, safety first, safety first, are you obedient with your asshole?" ”

Looking at Tang Ming, who was furious, Li Ba lowered his head and was silent, he also understood why Tang Ming, who had never been angry with his brother, was so angry at this moment.

This fleet was finally set up after Tang Ming had been operating for half a year, and it took half a year of hard work to save this little money, but he was taken out by himself and lost half of it.

If it's just that the battleship is damaged, it's okay, the most important thing is that most of the sailors of this fleet, including the crew, are Tang Ming's own people. In other words, under normal circumstances, this fleet only obeys the command of Tang Ming alone.

But such a fleet was almost wiped out by himself, so Tang Ming was angry with himself. Li Ba didn't dare to have a temper at all, he was very guilty in his heart, he only hoped that Tang Ming would try his best to spread his anger on himself, at least then he would feel better in his heart.

Tang Ming actually didn't want to fight Li Ba, but the loss of the fleet was much beyond his acceptance, so he couldn't hold back for a while before he moved. But after the fight, he also felt a little regretful. couldn't pull his face to apologize to Li Ba, so he had to snort coldly and said fiercely: "I'll settle accounts with you in the future." ”

Dropping this sentence and turning around immediately, Li Ba touched the back of his head in embarrassment, only smirking at Tang Ming who was leaving. He knew that Tang Ming meant to let himself go, and while he was relieved, Li Ba felt guilty again.

Zhu Di didn't care about how many people were killed and injured in the fleet, at this moment he had already come to the deck of the treasure ship, and under the protection of a group of guards, he was curiously looking at the little whale that was caught.

Although the whale is a juvenile, it is not small at all, and its nearly seven-meter-long body almost fills the deck of the bow of the ship. Zhu Di, under the protection of many guards, curiously watched around the whale.

The young whale was caught by a team leader who drove the treasure boat, and he had already received a reward of 10,000 taels of silver from Zhu Di. There will be no one to see, and there will be no place to hide and share the spoils with those companions.

Tang Ming hurriedly came out not to look for them, but to come straight to Zhu Di, the loss of the fleet was so big, if he didn't let out some blood from him, Tang Ming vowed not to give up. Just to catch a broken whale for him, how many lives of the Ming Dynasty were sacrificed in vain.

Zhu Di also knew about the loss of the fleet, and he didn't expect such a big loss, and at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Ming coming with a stinky face. Feeling guilty, he stopped turning in circles and waited for Tang Ming's arrival.

"Your Majesty ......."

As soon as Tang Ming spoke, Zhu Di looked at him and waved his hand and asserted: "I know that I am reckless this time, you can say if there is any way to remedy it!" ”

Zhu Di's directness made Tang Ming slightly stunned, and his anger disappeared instantly because of his attitude.

Tang Ming, who no longer had a stinky face, coughed lightly and said: "Thank you for your understanding of the lives of the soldiers, the ship is gone, and the loss is nothing more than some money, but the lives of the soldiers are precious, and the lives of the soldiers cannot be bought back with money." The damage to the soldiers this time has endangered the safety of the fleet, so Wechen asked the emperor to hand over the 100 million taels of silver to Wechen in order to rebuild the navy, and after this incident, return to Daming immediately. ”

Losing nearly a thousand lives of the Ming warriors for the sake of a whale, this kind of thing Tang Ming resolutely disagreed, but it had happened. Even if he risked being beheaded to accuse Zhu Di, it would be useless.

So the best choice now is to return, don't let Zhu Di stay on this ship, it is the best protection for this fleet.

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said: "100 million taels of silver will be given to you all, this is impossible, I will give you at most half the night is 50 million taels." ”

Tang Ming nodded in agreement without hesitation, he didn't have the intention of wanting it all, and now he could have 50 million taels in his account, which was already a blessing in misfortune. After all, he, Tang Ming, is just a courtier, if he doesn't know the so-called high-profile jumping, Zhu Di will be disgusted, and Tang Ming won't give him a dime, and there is nothing he can do about him.

Everything finally came to an end here, and Zhu Di also got a huge whale as he wished, although this was the price of nearly a thousand Ming warriors, but it was also this that made this fish more precious.

Fei Xin did not stay in Luzon for long, and Tang Ming had already ordered someone to urge him to return as soon as possible, so Fei Xin, who had not had time to have a deep discussion with the king of Luzon, hurriedly loaded the 100 million taels of silver that Luzon bought from the ship and returned.

In order to avoid extraneous complications, when Fei Xin came back, he immediately ordered to return. The fleet of 200 warships and 15 treasure ships was now returned with less than 100 warships, and more than half of the sailors and soldiers were killed or wounded.

And the only harvest was the 100 million taels of silver filled with two treasure ships, and Zhu Di's huge whale. Zhu Di's goal of cruising the Daming Sea was also abandoned halfway, but fortunately, the mysterious island of Jianwen had been eliminated.

For Tang Ming, the gains outweigh the losses, and there is nothing to compare with Ryukyu Island alone. The opening of the port of Luzon was a bonus. (To be continued.) )
