In Penghu, the waves crashed against the warship, and the sailors rushed back and forth on the warship, although they were very busy, but they were not flustered at all. Apparently these people are not doing these things for the first time, cleaning the deck, wiping the artillery, everything is in order.

Waite, the commander of the Dutch fleet, stood on the bow of the ship, frowning slightly as he watched the waves crash against the ship. Behind him was Brian, the deputy commander of the fleet, without the slightest disrespect, and the whole person looked cautious. Waite has been angry several times in the past few days, and Brian doesn't want to trouble Waite at this time.

"Brian, is there any news? In terms of time, our letter should have been returned. Now we need reinforcements, you should know that. Glancing back at Brian, Waite's expression seemed to improve, and he said in a soft tone.

"Your Excellency, there is no news so far, but I think it's been a day or two. As for the need for reinforcements, I guess that's no problem. After all, trade in the Taiwan Strait provides enough benefits for those people, and they will not give up here easily. Seeing that Waite seemed to be relieved, Brian's heart was half relieved, but he still maintained unprecedented respect when he spoke.

Nodding slowly, although he was satisfied with Brian's attitude, Waite was really in no mood to care about this now. After all, the affairs of the Taiwan Strait are the most important thing now, and the time has already reached December, and if reinforcements do not come, I am afraid it will really be too late.

He had already received an ultimatum from the Daming Kingdom three days ago, and if he did not withdraw from Penghu before March, the Daming Kingdom would send troops. At the same time, there are also the Spaniards who have just formed an alliance with the Ming Kingdom, and they will do their best to help the Ming Kingdom. After getting the news, Waite suddenly felt like a fly had been stuffed into his mouth, which was really disgusting.

For the former Spanish Empire, Waite's heart is still full of respect, and the invincible armada that runs rampant on the sea has always been Waite's pursuit. But now it seems that the Spaniards have lost it all. The Armada was sunk. At the same time, the proud heart of the Portuguese was sunk.

For the Spaniards, Waite's heart is not worried at all, the crippled Spain, wants to stand up. Where is it so easy. However, for the Ming Kingdom, Waite has never underestimated it. If such a huge country really operates at sea, it will definitely be more than just talk. Think of the legend of two hundred years ago, which, in Waite's opinion, is definitely not a legend. It is absolutely necessary to block the Ming Kingdom, this is what Waite has warned himself countless times.

There is another big threat, that is Zheng Zhilong, this Ming man who was born as a bandit has advantages that he does not have. This person is different from Li Dan. He has big ambitions and at the same time has a way, and he is a very difficult character to deal with.

In Waite's view, whatever action he takes, he can't do it right now. His own strength is too thin. Although his own warships are the most advanced in the world, they are too few after all. Waite decisively chose to ask for help, after all, there is no need to press on himself for these things.

In the city of Beijing, in the Forbidden City, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat on a huge climbing plow, and several big dogs in front of him were constantly running. Countless eunuchs were followed on both sides, running in a hurry. At the same time, they shouted loudly.

With a big coat on his body, the Emperor of the Apocalypse gently pinched his son's frozen red face, laughed and said, "Is it cold? ”

"Father, the child is not cold, let's hurry up!" For children, it is rare to play with their fathers. His father will always be the wise emperor. I'm always busy with things, and it's clingy to have such an opportunity.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse hugged his son as if he were in his arms, with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "Good! We're hurrying and running! Laughter spilled on the snow. For a long time.

Standing on the steps, looking at the cheerful Emperor of the Apocalypse and her son, Empress Zhang had a smile on her face and a look of satisfaction. Looking back at the portrait, he said to Wang Chengen on the side: "Princess! ”

"Queen Mother, the slave is humble!" For Empress Zhang, no one in the entire palace dared to disrespect. After so many years of holy favor, there are so many concubines in the entire palace, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has always favored Empress Zhang. The affairs of the entire harem, Emperor Tianqi was handed over to Empress Zhang to take care of, and after so many years, he was cautious.

"Go to the ladies in the back and say that the emperor is playing here with his children. They haven't seen the emperor for many days, so they brought all the children over and got close to the emperor. "Empress Zhang is very benevolent, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse has favored him for so many years, which has not made her arrogant, but more motherly in the world.

Wang Chengen was slightly stunned, glanced at Queen Zhang on the side, saluted respectfully, and said, "Slave Humility, let's do it!" ”

For Queen Zhang, Wang Chengen didn't dare to underestimate it at all, this master was usually kind-hearted, but there was no room for sand in his eyes. This time the approach is very clever, fully showing the generosity of being the empress, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse will only be happy. It's just that for his heavenly concubine, this is a dismount, which can shock people's hearts!

For all this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally didn't know, but even if he knew, I'm afraid he would only laugh it off. Having lived in this era for so long, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally understood what was most important. If you want the harem not to catch fire, then you must consolidate the queen's position and not let others feel that there is an opportunity. For so many years, Queen Zhang has done a very good job, and she is also very satisfied.

Soon, the son and daughter of the Emperor of the Apocalypse came, and the dog climbing the plow was obviously not possible. The Emperor of the Apocalypse took himself and his children and began to build snowmen, followed by snowball fights. A group of eunuchs and palace maids were beaten and scattered, and laughter kept coming out.

A group of concubines stood on the steps, all with smiles on their faces, this was the first time in their lives.

Until everyone was tired of playing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse took a group of children to eat again. The imperial dining room had already been prepared, a huge round table, with the Emperor of the Apocalypse sitting on the throne and a group of concubines leading their children. Under the malicious instigation of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the whole dinner seemed very harmonious, and the laughter continued. In the end, the willow tops of the moon rose, and the concubines took their children back to the palace!

Yes! A comfortable moan sounded in the mouth of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the whole person leaned on the bed, and Empress Zhang squatted on the ground below, gently putting the feet of the Emperor of the Apocalypse into the basin. His hands were rubbed gently, and his face was flushed.

"It's a great blessing to be able to soak your feet in such a cold winter. The queen's technique is getting older and older, I want to enjoy it while I am young, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it when I'm old! The Emperor of the Apocalypse narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a satisfied smile on his face.

"What is the emperor saying, the concubine body has to serve His Majesty for a lifetime, when the emperor wants to soak his feet, the concubine body will be soaked for the emperor. This prescription is still required by the concubine and the imperial doctor, and the medicinal materials in it are good for the emperor's body. The emperor is too hardworking, and the concubine is in a lot of pain. Empress Zhang was slightly stunned, and said with a little unhappiness on her face. She knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse liked such an equal way of getting along, as if they were really ordinary couples, not the emperor and queen of a country.

Shaking his head with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed and said, "I also want to take a break, but time is running out, there are too many things for me to do." I can't give up, I must finish what I can in my lifetime. You are the queen of the Ming Dynasty, how can you soak my feet when you are old. ”

"The common people are raising children to prevent old age, and when the emperor and concubines are old, then let their sons soak their feet. It's easy to give birth to them, and to repay the kindness of nurturing starts with soaking your feet! Empress Zhang had a smile on her face, and in an instant, she thought of a good idea to let her son soak the emperor's feet.

Thinking of her youngest son, holding a huge footbath, Empress Zhang suddenly laughed. In this way, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will be happy, and the name of his son's benevolence and filial piety will also spread.

Looking at Empress Zhang, who was smirking there, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Is there anything happy about?" Speak it up and let me hear it, and make me happy. ”

How could Empress Zhang say this kind of thing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and stopped talking. The Emperor of the Apocalypse was anxious to ask, so he coquettishly said: "This is a matter of the woman's family, so don't ask the emperor again." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand, don't guess what a woman thinks! Since this topic could not be continued, the Emperor of the Apocalypse changed the topic and said, "You have done a good job today, and I am very comforted in my heart. In this palace, you are the queen, what do you have to think about more. There are a lot of people in this palace, but I always feel that there is a lack of popularity. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines remembered one thing, is the palace letting a group of palace maids go out next year? After all, if you delay getting married, it's not good! While he is still young, he can also promise a good family if he is released. Empress Zhang was still very sympathetic to those palace maids, lowered her head and thought about it, and then spoke.

"The queen has a heart, let's do this thing! Release a batch every three years, this matter will be a permanent example! "After all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is from the next generation, and he still has some unacceptability in his heart to let a woman empty the old deep palace. After thinking about it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "It will be the sixth year of the Apocalypse soon, and there will definitely be a lot of things next year, and I may not have time to clone myself." The affairs of the harem are still in charge of the queen, I am very relieved, it is not early, let's rest! ”

Ordered someone to take out the footbath of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and Empress Zhang went to bed gently.
