Early the next morning, Zhao Lie came to the shipyard, which was a key point for him, and there were still more than ten days to set off, which was really unbearable.

The shipyard shipowner Niang went to Goa, and now his younger brother Joaquin is in charge, and Wang Ming, the manager of the Ming Dynasty, is also there, but they are all mentally depressed, and the pirates are eyeing the shipyard, and they want to pull away all the ships that have just been launched in the shipyard, which is to let the shipyard go bankrupt directly, Joaquin secretly calculated, the two warships were lost by the Macao army that did not hold them, and the council wanted to say nothing, but the compensation for the three Galen merchant ships and the three lucky ships was a huge loss.

"Childe, five Western-style galleons have been built and underwent sea trials, and now it is the small construction of the internal cabins, which was completed in five days, and two of the three Fu ships were basically completed, but there were no sea trials, and the last Fu ship had just been launched, which could only be said to be floating on the water, that is, going all out, and barely sailing for more than ten days. However, it is winter, and although there is no tailwind, there is no storm, so there is still hope to arrive. The sound of the drums roughly reported the current situation of the ships, which can be said to be a mixed blessing.

"Do your best to rush the work, and tell the craftsmen to finish it in ten days, and the wages will be three times." Time is everything, the longer it is in Macao, the more unsafe it is, it is impossible for all forces to attack Macao, however, when leaving Hong Kong, there is an ambush halfway, and several pirate forces and the Dutch have the strength to do it, Zhao Lie can only shorten this time and leave before the various forces react.

"Yes." Zhang Drum led the way.

"Mr. Joaquin, rest assured that the shipyard will receive the necessary compensation at that time. I promise. Zhao Lie smiled and said to Joaquin that since an agreement on cooperation has been reached with Macau, there are some things that cannot be overdone.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Joaquín said gratefully.

"The premise is to speed up the process. That's fine. Zhao Lie intentionally or unintentionally held the saber.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." The corners of Joaquin's eyes twitched, and he immediately bowed down and replied.

At the end of the afternoon, Zhao Lie came to the shop with apprehension, he really didn't know what decision Alexandra made, if Alexandra didn't agree to go, could he still come hard, if he did, this knot would be difficult to untie.

After meeting, Alexandra smiled and served Zhao Lie a cup of hot tea,

"It's cold today, drink a cup of hot tea and warm up."

Zhao Lie was sure that it was probably good news, and his heart was much more stable.

"The young lady went out today to inquire about the news, and learned that the merchants had returned to their homes, and that no one was injured or blackmailed. I was still very happy, but the young lady also suffered a little chill because of it. Marta said rather aggrieved.

Zhao Lie was overjoyed, and said in his heart, Matamata, your performance today is really good, I can't say it, I will remember your work for the time being, and there will be a good reward in the future.

"Mr. Zhao Lie, I will make an appointment with you for three chapters." Alexandra spoke.

I'll go, Zhao Lie choked on a sip of tea, and even Alexandra has learned the three chapters of the law.

"Miss, please speak." Zhao Lie wiped the water stains and said with a straight face.

"First, please do not blackmail the Macao people until you leave Macao.

Second, if I get to the place, if it doesn't match what you say, I can come back immediately.

Thirdly, I will take my own ship and escort. Alexandra stared at Zhao Lieyan and said.

"Yes, I can fully promise you." Zhao Lie was overjoyed, there is no need to blackmail the Macao people, an agreement has been reached, as for deception, that is no, it is also true that tens of thousands of Liao people in Shandong are struggling to live, well, I'm not afraid that you don't believe it, I'm afraid that you won't go.

"I hope you swear in the name of our God, and then swear by your great gods." Marta's voice sounded out at an inopportune time, making Zhao Lie go crazy. I'll go, and the good news will be canceled.

"In the name of the Jade Emperor, I swear that I will not violate my oath, otherwise I will enter the eighteenth layer of hell. I swear in the name of God that I will not break my oath, or let the waters flood me. Zhao Lie is not afraid of ghosts and gods, not to mention that he doesn't think he has told any lies, of course, there are small flaws.

Marta nodded in satisfaction, in her mind, since she swore in the name of God, it was worth believing.

Alexandra pursed her lips and smiled, extremely gentle.

"Actually, with you are the Macao council, Portuguese soldiers, and craftsmen. You will not be alone. Zhao Lie understood Alexandra and Marta's worries, so he told the truth. I have made an alliance with you Portuguese. The Speaker has appointed you as the representative of the Portuguese side to our army. ”

"Really, that's great." Alexandra's eyes have become crescent moons, and they are really flowers and moons.

Zhao Lie was stunned for a moment.

Three days of time is fleeting, in the three days, the sailors in the Portuguese sailors under the teaching of the soft sail to learn to operate the soft sail, among them, the sail, schooner, skew sail in a short time flexible application is unrealistic, but the winter storm is not, as long as the safe arrival of the stone island is victory, after returning there is time to practice.

That night, everyone gathered again in the cabin of the Fuhai.

"Three thousand one hundred and twenty-eight taels of gold, and three hundred and thirty-six thousand two hundred and thirty taels of silver.

There are more than 3,000 gold coins and more than 40,000 silver coins in Portugal, 1,000 gold coins and more than 9,000 silver coins in Portuguese Brazil, 6,200 Spanish escudos, and 3,000 gold coins.

There were more than 500 arquebuses, 26 sets of full-body armor, 65 sets of half-body armor, and a total of 11 24-pounder guns, 10 18-pounder guns, 22 12-pounder guns, 25 9-pounder guns, and 12 6-pounder guns in the warehouse and the gun factory. Ten more guns were completed in three days.

One 350-ton warship, two 300-ton warships, two 200-ton warships, three 450-ton Galen merchant ships, and three 200-ton fortune ships. One of the 300-ton battleships was equipped with 32 guns, and the two 200-ton battleships were equipped with a total of 20 guns. Others are not equipped with cannons.

Fifty-two Andalusian horses, of which twenty-eight were stallions, twenty-four mares, and twenty-seven Luciano horses, of which seventeen were stallions and ten mares.

2,000 catties of corn seeds, 3,000 catties of sweet potatoes, and 8,000 catties of white sweet potatoes. ”

Tang Xianwen read the harvest with a dry mouth, and everyone was overjoyed.

"In addition, there is no statistics on raw silk, cotton, lacquer, porcelain, silk and other things that are not easy to realize."

Since Zhao Lie has formed an alliance with Macau, he can't take everything away, otherwise, Alonzo will really have to leave class. It's a surprise to get war horses and grain here.

So he kept fifty thousand taels of silver, and all the gold and silver coins. Fifty thousand taels of silver were handed over to the shipyard. Others began to be loaded, and in addition, the guns of the ships that were not equipped with guns were equipped, and even if they were short of manpower, they were used as ballast stones. Zhao Lie gave an order, "The artillery factory took away three Portuguese gunners, three smelters, and two-thirds of the Han craftsmen, and those with their families were brought with them, and the shipyard handled them accordingly, and announced that the monthly salary would be doubled, and the settlement fee would be twenty taels per person. ”

In the following days, the cannons were on the ship, the gold and silver were on the ship, and three hundred arquebuses were on the ship, only the war horses planned to board the ship one day earlier, this is a delicate thing, and I don't know how many can make it to the shore alive, but they have great hopes for Zhao Lie.

On this day, Tang Xianwen took a fat Ming man to see Zhao Lie.

"Childe, this person is Luo Changshan, a businessman from the Ming Dynasty, because he helped me introduce him into the chamber, I am afraid that after we leave, the Portuguese will settle accounts after the autumn, and his hometown is Xiangshan County. Therefore, he intends to work for us. My lord, you look at it, ......" Tang Xianwen respectfully asked for instructions, in this matter, although he has a little sympathy for Luo Fatzi, but this matter still needs to be decided by adults.

Zhao Lie heard Tang Xianwen talk about Tang Fatman, and knew that this was an eight-sided and exquisite character, but there was another understanding, decision-making, and the courage to break the boat.

"Let him in." Zhao Lie commanded.

Tang Xianwen breathed a sigh of relief, in the past few days, Tang Fat Man has almost entangled him crazy, it's really a kraft candy, you can't get rid of it if you stick it, Tang Xianwen has made a great contribution this time, this Tang Fat Man can be regarded as meritorious, Tang Xianwen really can't pull this face to refuse.

"My lord, the little Luo Changshan is a Daming maritime merchant in Macau, and now he respects the adult Dewei, and is willing to follow the adult's command, I don't know if the villain can serve the adult in the future." Luo Changshan asked with a smile on his face, worried in his heart, if he talked about how this Ming person was introduced by himself, the Portuguese would definitely settle accounts after the autumn, and his hometown was no longer allowed to be his own family, and following the adult in front of him was his only way out.

"Of course, we welcome all businessmen who cooperate with our army," Zhao Lie smiled and said with a kind attitude, "The system we have established will be the same as that of Macao, and this time, we will specially hire the council of Macao to help set up the council hall of the territory under our jurisdiction, and the council will decide the daily political affairs." ”

"Your Excellency, the matter of the Macao Council Chamber does have something for me to learn from." The fat on Luo Changshan's face trembled, and he said with a smile, "My lord, this time the villain presented 10,000 taels of silver, and I hope that the adults will smile and accept it, and please take care of it in the future." ”

"Excuse me, Ben will never accept donations, Luo Dong doesn't have to be polite, please take it back, as long as Luo Dong abides by the law, Ben will make your business prosperous." Zhao Lie served tea to the guests.

"Well, Lord Luo, if someone plunders your merchant ships, Ben will definitely call the shots for you." Zhao Lie finally said.

Luo Changshan bowed and thanked him, just now he thought that he had not entered the eyes of adults, so the adults did not collect donations, and now it is seen that this Lord Zhao really does not accept donations, it is really unprecedented, Luo Changshan will be suspicious and go with Tang Xianwen.
