"How's it going today?"

Just as Rano was heading towards Lisbon, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan had already returned to the dock and boarded the battleship.

After seeing Zhao Hongyu come back, Sara took out a towel and still water to wipe Zhao Hongyu's face.

"Is Emma already asleep?"

Zhao Hongyu washed his face, then took the towel and wiped it and asked.

Sara nodded: "I've fallen asleep, and now she's snooze." ”

Zhao Hongyu smiled: "I'm growing my body, so it's normal to snooze." Things didn't go well today, Pedro was too wary of me, but when I left, I told him that he could come to me if he needed to. ”

Then, Zhao Hongyu told Sara everything about today's incident with Pedro.

"You're too anxious, if you're not in a hurry, it's much better to get in touch slowly." After listening to Zhao Hongyu's story, Sara shook her head and stretched out her finger to poke at the door of his head.

Of course, Zhao Hongyu knew that he was too anxious, but he really wasn't in a hurry.

Now that he's been here in Lisbon for two months, he can't just stay like this.

You know, he still has to go to a lot of places in Europe.

Therefore, he wanted to get things done here as soon as possible and implement all the plans. Then he left for Marseille, France, and knew that there was a manor in Marseille waiting for him to take over.

And after finishing the affairs of Marseille, he also went to Alexandria, Egypt, to see and feel the customs there.

I heard Viscount Meghan say that Alexandria's side is very interesting, there are beautiful slave girls in Arabia and Africa, and there are beautiful women in Egypt.

Of course, this is a little secret in Zhao Hongyu's heart, and he will not tell Sara and Emma.

"You don't know the situation here in Portugal, the Portuguese nobles have not resisted before, but they have all been suppressed by the Spaniards." , Sara took Zhao Hongyu's hand. I walked over to the couch and sat down.

In the captain's bedroom, the comfortable bed and sofa are fully equipped with Arabic handmade carpets.

The candles in the room were extinguished, and sitting on the couch you could see the glittering sea outside through the boat.

Although it was already night, the bright moonlight in the sky could still add a touch of brightness and mystery.

"There were many early revolts of the Portuguese, but they were all suppressed by the Spanish. And in order to lure the rebels who are lurking, the Spaniards even use the same tactics as you do, to lure the lurking ones to come forward and then arrest them. ”

Sara tilted her head sideways and leaned on Zhao Hongyu's shoulder. Told him about what had happened here in Portugal.

Zhao Hongyu groaned, "What I said, it turns out that these people are scared by the Spaniards." I understand when you say that, and I'll be careful if it were me. ”。

Sara leaned on Zhao Hongyu's shoulder and said, "Even if nothing like this happens, it's right to be careful." After all, Pedro hasn't been in contact with you for long, so why should he trust you. It's a normal thing, so you want to open it. ”

Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, what else could he say.

After all, Sara wasn't right at all. You can't expect Pedro to trust himself.

After all, he and Pedro have only been in contact three or four times.

As long as you are a normal person, it is a normal reaction to be vigilant about your own words.

Only stupid and brainless will show something.

Think about it from another angle. If Pedro really did what he thought, and immediately had a good conversation with him after he showed that kind of meaning, it would be his turn to be on guard.

Zhao Hongyu thought of this and smiled very self-deprecatingly.

"You men. All I think about all day long is fighting, killing, and killing. In fact, the territory of the empire is already very large, do you still want to expand the territory of the empire? ”

While Zhao Hongyu was pondering, Sara spoke faintly.

Yes. Sara had seen the map of the Song Empire produced by Wang Shan, so she knew that the territory of the Song Empire was much larger than that of all European countries.

Therefore, Sara thinks that it is quite difficult to manage such a large empire.

She couldn't figure out why she needed to expand the empire's territory.

In fact, with the existing land of the empire, they can already live very comfortably.

"My ancestors told me that if I have the ability and opportunity, I should expand my territory, this is my mission, and it is also my duty to come to this world."

Zhao Hongyu turned his head to look at Sarah, and the two looked at each other, and Zhao Hongyu's gaze became deep.

Sara felt as if she was attracted by Zhao Hongyu's deep dark eyes, and she couldn't extricate herself.

Oh, damn little man, this life has been ruined on you.

Sara's body trembled, and a stream of heat in her lower abdomen rushed towards the lower abdomen.

Regarding Sarah's reaction, of course, Zhao Hongyu didn't know what to do.

"As you said, that's what makes us men and women different. War and land are the most attractive thing to us, and you women prefer peace and quiet. ”

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and hung it on Sarah's nose, causing Sara to chuckle.

"That's why men manage outside things, and women manage family things."

"Crooked, but I can't argue with you." Sara wrinkled her nose like a little girl, and looked at Zhao Hongyu playfully and said.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about me. By the time I muddy the waters on this side of Europe, and no one can get out, I will take all the Spanish colonies in Central America in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Hongyu stretched out his right hand, stretched out his five fingers, and then shook it in the void.

"Then Spain will have to suffer a dumb loss, because he has no experience to deal with us. And if the Portuguese proxies I supported were to fight for it, maybe Spain would no longer exist by then. ”

Zhao Hongyu smiled evilly, looked at Sara and said to her.

"What about the British? I heard that in addition to Virginia, there is now another Pennsylvania British colony between Virginia and Manhattan. Sara asked. You can take Central America, but it's not always the case that the British colonies are stuck in the middle. ”

Sara had seen the map of the Americas made by Wang Shan, so she knew the general situation of the European colonies in the Americas.

"The army took it by surprise, and the British would not have much reaction. The Netherlands and France are both developing their own maritime forces, and Sweden and the Ottomans are not to be outdone. ”

For the British, Zhao Hongyu has never taken it to heart.

Since defeating them in the first Golden War, Zhao Hongyu has seen that the British are paper paste.

Besides, Britain in this era is not yet the hegemon of the seas.

It is important to know that Britain became the hegemon of the sea, and that could only be done after defeating Napoleon.

In this era, although the British defeated the Spanish Armada, there were still the Dutch and other countries competing with him.

And the Dutch have already begun to replace the Spaniards, the position on the sea.

It can be said that the British did not, as they themselves boasted, start bull 13 after defeating Spain.

And in the face of Britain, which has not yet become the hegemon of the sea, what does Zhao Hongyu have to worry about.

Even if Britain is already the hegemon of the sea, he, Zhao Hongyu, is not worried about anything.

The Atlantic Ocean alone can already make many things favorable to Zhao Hongyu.

Besides, Zhao Hongyu still has a plug-in.

Even if Britain is strong and the coast destroys all his efforts, Zhao Hongyu still has five small cities in the middle of the Americas that are developing, and it can be said that with those five small cities, he can still make a comeback in a few years.

The British simply could not cope with him.

Guerrilla warfare in the forests of the Americas alone would have made the British drink a pot.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu was not worried at all that his annexation of the British colony would cause too much reaction from the British.

"Honey, you have a good idea. Even if we don't consider the British, it is also an indisputable fact that the Spanish colonies in Central America still had a large number of warships. In terms of the number of imperial warships, there are many less. ”

Sara raised her other concerns.

"Since it is necessary to go to the interests of Spain and Central America, then naval battles are inevitable. In the empire, where the number of warships is inferior, I am very worried. ”

Ha Lu Ha

Zhao Hongyu laughed: "Your worries are completely unnecessary in my opinion, now the empire can already start building warships." Like the battleship we are on, ten will be launched by next spring, and fifty will be launched by the end of the year. ”

Sara pursed her lips, "Even so, it's still very small in number." The number of ships of the Spaniards in the Caribbean Sea was more than 600. ”

Although she didn't want to hit her little man, Sara had to tell him about the actual situation to remind him.

"Recently, Song Hu has developed a new tactic, and after it is verified, it will not be difficult if the Spanish fleet in the Caribbean is destroyed." , Thinking of the strange battle plan that Song Hu was engaged in, Zhao Hongyu said to Sara.

"It's always good to be careful, I don't want anything wrong with you. People sometimes get too aggressive and make a mess of things. Sara said patiently to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu nodded again and again: "My dear, you can rest assured." I'm not the kind of person who is not careful, I have a very complete idea of how to plan for the Caribbean, and as long as it goes well, I don't have to worry about anything. ”

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and hugged Sara and said softly to her.

"I don't want to see the future of the empire ruined, and if it fails, you'll have to pay a lot of compensation."

Sara said to Zhao Hongyu very seriously. (To be continued.) )
