Chapter 212: The Wei Family's Disposition

Zhu Houhuang turned his eyes to look over, and it was a young man who spoke.

This young man has some resemblance to the old king's head in appearance, and seems to be the son of the old king's head.

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The grass people Wang Ertie is willing to accept the order of His Royal Highness, and within a month, the mud film casting cannon will be changed to an iron mold casting cannon." The young man said categorically.

Zhu Houhuang smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, it's you." "He wants to promote an official with a technical background, and he doesn't care who this person is.

Wei Ruizhou looked at this young man, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, he was originally a figure like an ant, and he could pinch the person who could be pinched to death by reaching out, but now he has become his successor, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Zhu Houhuang arranged the things here, and he didn't stay at the artillery field for a long time. With Wei Ruizhou, he left the artillery field.

On the way, Zhu Houhuang gave Wei Ruizhou a horse, and the two walked one after the other. Zhu Houhuang asked: "Ruizhou, I came here alone, I want to talk about some things about the Nanyang Fleet, do you have a draft?" ”

Wei Ruizhou was slightly proud in his heart, he was proud of his choice.

At the beginning, Wei Ruizhou decisively supported Zhu Houhuang, and gave Zhu Houhuang the skilled runner at home, and he himself defected. But half a year later, there were results.

He surpassed his elder brother and was in charge of the South Sea Fleet.

Although Wei Ruizhou's relationship with his brother is not bad. But being able to beat his brother Wei Dalin made Wei Ruizhou very satisfied.

At this moment, as soon as Zhu Houhuang mentioned the matter of the Nanyang Fleet, Wei Ruizhou immediately raised his spirit. Said: "The Nanyang Franc machine is my Dongyong's great enemy, and the primary task of the Nanyang fleet is to monitor the movements of the Franc machine, and the Franc machine will report back to Dongyong if it has every move." ”

Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruizhou began to introduce the details of Nanyang.

Although Wei Ruizhou didn't have many people when he went to sea, he was born in the door and grew up for three points. I know the details of Nanyang well. And the old man Wei, the old man who accompanied him back in his early years, was sent to Wei Ruizhou. With these old people in detail, Wei Ruizhou's plan is foolproof.

Zhu Houhuang listened to Wei Ruizhou's plan, and in general, Wei Ruizhou's plan was decent. There is nothing presumptuous about it, that is, to swear the existence of Dongyong in various places in Nanyang, and to appease the subject countries in the name of the Ming Dynasty. Compete with the Francos for influence.

Zhu Houhuang didn't have anything to say about this, he said: "Ruizhou, although the team of the Nanyang Fleet is from the Wei family, and you are also the second son of the Wei family, but the Nanyang Fleet is lonely, how to do it, Ruizhou, you have to think about it in your heart." ”

Wei Ruizhou's heart was cold, and he didn't know what Zhu Houhuang meant by this? Don't you want me to betray my family?

The Wei family defected to Zhu Houhuang, Wei Ruizhou was happy, but he also had to think about the interests of the Wei family. Try to guess Zhu Houhuang's thoughts.

Zhu Houhuang may know Wei Ruizhou's thoughts, or he may not know Wei Ruizhou's thoughts, Zhu Houhuang didn't pay attention to Wei Ruizhou's thoughts, and continued: "The Wei family's maritime career is in the Wei family's fleet, and the Wei family joins me Dongyong. Dongyong will naturally protect the Wei family's legitimate business. Therefore, Lone means that all the warships of the Wei family will be transferred out to form the Nanyang Fleet, and Lone Ruizhou is the commander of the Nanyang Fleet. It is to have both ways with the Wei family. ”

Warship? Sorry, where are the smugglers in China, there is no such concept at all, anyway, a cargo ship, plus weapons, is a warship, and a warship with weapons removed, it is a merchant ship.

Wei Ruizhou figured out that Zhu Houhuang's hidden meaning was that Zhu Houhuang did not want to wipe out the Wei family's business, but allowed them to keep some of it. Just to do legitimate business.

This meaning is a meaning of Zhu Hou's handling of those maritime merchants.

"Brother Zun, for the right man of Shaofu, he is in charge of the affairs of the Shaofu workshop, but if Brother Zun feels unsatisfactory, he can resign from the position of the right man of Shaofu. Continue to inherit the Wei fleet. Zhu Houhuang said.

"Your Highness, my family's loyalty to His Highness can be expressed in the sky, how can he turn his back on His Highness because of small profits?" Wei Ruizhou said. "Minister, you must be loyal to the end, the Nanyang Fleet will definitely be Your Highness's Nanyang Fleet."

Is the Wei family short of money?

There is no shortage, although Zhu Houhuang has made a lot of silver from the sea this year, but the Wei family has started to run to the sea since the old man Wei, and he has been operating for two generations, how can he lack silver. Even if from today onwards, the Wei family does not earn a penny, the Wei family's savings are already enough for the Wei family to live for several lifetimes.

So what the Wei family lacks is power.

In ancient China, money was nothing in the face of power. How could Wei Ruizhou give up his official position to withdraw money.

Zhu Houhuang was satisfied with Wei Ruizhou's attitude and said: "Qing does not live up to loneliness, loneliness does not live up to Qing." ”

Does Zhu Houhuang really trust Wei Ruizhou? Do you really believe Wei Ruizhou's words? But not necessarily, Zhu Houhuang has been a human being in two lifetimes, and you have already passed the naïve years.

The so-called Nanyang Fleet, but Zhu Houhuang put it in the Nanyang chess, a temptation of the Francose man. Success or not, it's not too important.

Zhu Houhuang co-opted and rectified the pirates, on the one hand, to eliminate the unstable factors at sea, and on the other hand, to include these people in his own system.

As long as the Wei family hangs the banner of Yongguo, it is a victory. As for the rest, it's a bonus. Zhu Houhuang didn't care. Because Zhu Houhuang took a fancy to the Naval Division, what he really liked was the headquarters of the Yongguo Naval Division, not the Ryukyu Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet.

After Zhu Houhuang talked to Wei Ruizhou, Wei Ruizhou saw Wei Dalin and conveyed Zhu Houhuang's meaning. Randomly, Zhu Houhuang left Yikun by boat and came to Dayuan City.

"Chen Zheng Lu, meet His Royal Highness King Yong." The stout Zheng Lu fell to his knees on the ground. It's like a black piece of iron.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Zheng Qing, please get up." Lone wants to go to a place with Zheng Qing. ”

Someone immediately brought a horse to Zhu Houhuang and Zheng Lu, and the two turned over and got on the horse.

Although Zhu Houhuang's riding skills are not too good, it is absolutely impossible to go into battle to kill the enemy, but there is no problem with simple riding. But Zheng Lu is very bad.

Zheng Lu has lived at sea all the year round and has long grown a pair of iron feet. At any time, in any wind and waves, he was able to stand firm, but he never rode a horse. Riding the horse suddenly, he couldn't adapt to it at all, but fortunately, Zheng Lu was full of martial arts, not for nothing, and he caught the horses tightly. It's just that it's extremely uncomfortable to ride, and in just a few miles of land, Zheng Lu is already sweating profusely.

Suddenly, Zhu Houhuang's horse stopped, and Zheng Lu also stopped his horse following Zhu Houhuang's example.

In front of me was a mountain of wood, a large piece of wood was black and pressed, as if it were a mountain peak.

Zhu Houhuang came to the place where Dayuan first established, which is here, this is not a timber yard, but a shipyard, just the wood for shipbuilding, and it must be dried in the shade for three years. Zhu Houhuang couldn't build a ship for a while, so he began to save timber frantically, and after all the shade dried, he built a large ship.

Originally, the timber here was just that the people who opened up the wasteland near Dayuan cut down the wood and sent it here, since Lu Wan opened up the land in the upper reaches of the Yongjiang River, a large amount of timber went down the Yongjiang River and all piled up here. There is a scene like a wooden mountain here.

But this is not the end, or even just the beginning.

After the large-scale reclamation of the land, it will naturally bring large-scale tree felling, and the big trees that have formed will continue to be stored, but because of transportation and other reasons, there should be a few other timber yards.

Zhu Houhuang turned a blind eye to the scenery here. As soon as he got off the horse, dozens of craftsmen rushed over and saluted Zhu Houhuang in a mess.

Zheng Lu could naturally see that these craftsmen were very familiar with Zhu Houhuang, and Zhu Houhuang didn't care about the rudeness of these craftsmen at all.

Zhu Houhuang asked: "How is it, Li Dagong, have you figured out the ship appearance of the Francophone man?" ”

Li Dagong said: "I have already figured it out, Your Highness, please here." ”

This is because Li Dagong was originally invited by Zhu Houhuang to a shipbuilding master in Qingjiangpu, and later when he went south, he saw a lot with Zhu Houhuang and became familiar with each other, so he did not stick to etiquette in front of Zhu Houhuang.

Li Dagong led the way in front, and after a while, he brought everyone to a pond, which was not small in size, but there were some oddities around the pond.
