What Chen Guang said all the way aroused Fan Tong's curiosity, and he didn't need Chen Guang to take the initiative to say, he had already begun to urge impatiently.

Chen Guang, who had just taken two mouthfuls of rice, chewed quickly, and after swallowing a mouthful of rice, he said: "As Master Hou said, since this Zhancheng is a place that ordinary maritime merchants can reach, it will naturally not be my primary goal.

Continue south to Manraka.

Then there's Javanese mud.

Occasionally, traces of Daming maritime merchants can be seen in these places, so we didn't think much about it and decided to continue walking.

However, in the charts left by Cheng Zu, there are only those to the west, and we can't help it, after all, the road is full of dangers, and we only have tens of thousands of people and hundreds of ships, so we really don't dare to rashly open up new routes.

I followed the chart all the way to Guri.

After arriving in Guli, the last general really sighed.

I really have to admire these maritime merchants, they can reach such a place without the support of the imperial court, and they can also trade with the locals, and the relationship is harmonious.

Anyway, the general has made up his mind, as long as there are Ming maritime merchants, we will resolutely not trade with others. If we want to trade, we will have to wait until we return to the sea.

People are always like this, always thinking that the front is the best, but I didn't expect that in the next month, we were floating so much on the sea, and we didn't even see a human figure.

That's how the charts were drawn, and we didn't dare to deviate from the course. The waterline of the Fubune is too deep, and if you approach it rashly and touch the reef, it will really be over.

After two months of wandering, many brothers have fallen ill, and at this time, thanks to the fruits and vegetables that Hou Ye asked us to prepare.

At first, we didn't expect that idea to go up, but every day my brother had a fever, and it was a high fever that didn't go away, and the military medical officer couldn't treat it at all.

Seeing my brothers shivering in the quilt, my heart hurts.

But we can't help it, because no one thinks about it.

Fortunately, the old crew reminded them in time, which made the brothers start eating those oranges. The vegetables are gone, and they have long been wiped out.

The next place is called Tianfang.

The customs and folklore here are completely different from the customs of the South Seas, and it is like going to another world.

The Celestials are good at fighting, and their fighting methods are completely different from those of the slow Basa, they have fairly good equipment and fairly sharp weapons.

But all this, in front of my Ming firearms, is completely a chicken and a dog.

20,000 brothers fought in Heaven for more than 40 days, and only 180 people were killed in the battle, and they successfully took the city of Heaven and One City.

The King of Heaven panicked and sent an envoy for peace talks.

But it was completely playing the piano to the cow, and neither side could understand each other's words, so they had to try their best to communicate. Fortunately, there were gestures, and I could barely make the other party understand what we meant.

As soon as they heard that we were here to trade, those heavenly people almost didn't kneel on the ground and cry. They thought we were invaders, so they fought back, and it turned out to be a group of gods of wealth.

When our goods were placed in front of them, the eyes of those people were about to glow green.

Anyway, there are a lot of thrills along the way, and if you want to talk about it, you have to say it for three days and three nights to finish. This harvest is estimated to reach 200 million taels of silver. This is a net profit, counting all losses and soldiers' pensions. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Guang raised his head quite proudly.

He should be proud because he has done a lot of things that no one else can do. Moreover, he is the one who really continued Zheng He's voyage to the West.

His name is destined to leave traces in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"I respect you." Zhang Ru raised his glass.

"Master Hou is serious." Chen Guang is still very humble in front of Zhang Ru.

He is a person who knows gratitude, and he knows that his existence today is not only inseparable from his own efforts, but also has a great relationship with the young man in front of him who is less than thirty years old and has gray temples.

Yes, Zhang Ru's light breeze on the surface can't hide his anxiety, and his hair is gray, which is the most intuitive embodiment.

In the middle of the night, all the brothers on the island went to the port to find a place to live, and the soldiers lived in the house of the brothers on the island.

This can be regarded as Zhang Ru's compensation for them.

Chen Guanglai, who drank but was not drunk, refused to leave Zhang Ru's residence, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had something to say, Su Qiqi and Jiang Caiwei took Zhang Muyan and chose to avoid it temporarily, Jiang Wei and others also left one after another, only Fan Tong was ignorant and stayed in place.

Chen Guang wanted to speak several times and stopped, but Fan Tong didn't leave, he didn't know how to speak.

Zhang Ru glanced at Fan Tong and said with a smile: "Lao Chen, they are all his own people, there is no need to be so guarded." ”

Chen Guang's heart warmed when he heard this, he glared at the smirking Fan Tongyi, and said bluntly: "The last will leave for three years, three years ago, Hou Ye's hair was black, and now he is described as haggard, I don't know why?" ”

Before Zhang Ru could answer, Fan Tong had already muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's not that you have taken people away for three years, three years, the boss has lost his official position, and now he is just a rich idler." But the imperial court still did not let go of the boss, and all the officials in Beijing who were closer to the boss were implicated, and the forces on the side of the Beizhen Fusi were suppressed and breathless.

Even when he got to this step of the field, the emperor still held on to the boss, eager to scrape off three taels of meat from the boss. ”

Chen Guang was so angry when he heard this: "Lord Hou has done so many things for the court, how can the court be so unkind." ”

Zhang Ru smiled and waved his hand, motioned for Chen Guang to sit down, and said slowly: "Aren't you back now!" At the very least, it proved that I made the right choice. Your Majesty is also a person who understands, and he probably won't attack me again anytime soon. ”

Chen Guang said angrily: "Could it be that Master Hou is just bullied like this? Who in the capital can't get along with the Hou Ye, and the general is willing to send someone to punish him! ”

Zhang Ru said: "Things are not what you think, as long as no more than half of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty attack, as long as Your Majesty doesn't want me Zhang Wenxuan to have something, I will be fine." This time, it is His Majesty's intention. ”

"Your Majesty?" Chen Guangwei was surprised: "Why did Your Majesty self-destruct and plug the Great Wall?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "I don't know how to say some things, let's say so!" The emperor is not in good health, the prince is young, and my authority is too heavy. Together, these points made me wrong at all, and they also constituted a capital offense. ”

Chen Guang sighed: "Sure enough, it is like a tiger!" ”

Zhang Ru said: "Be careful! ”

Chen Guangdao: "Allow him to hide the emperor's bird, and don't let me say it!" Master Hou, you said, how to do it, the last general knows in his heart. As long as there is no Hou Ye, this Fuzhou Sailor exists for a day, and no one will be able to shake Hou Ye's status! ”
