Chapter 309: Walking with the Enemy

Zhu Houhuang immediately urged the ship to hurry up.

Zhu Houhuang's boat soon joined the Yongguo fleet, changed to a small boat, and came to the largest boat.

Xu Dong saw Zhu Houhuang and said, "Meet Your Highness." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "What's going on on the other side? ”

Xu Dong said: "Several ships on the other side came yesterday, and when they saw that we were facing each other not far away, we were also on full alert and did not dare to slack off, but because His Highness had said the agreement with the Buddha Lang Jiren before, he did not dare to start a war without authorization, so he confronted each other like this, fortunately, His Highness came down, otherwise I don't know what to do." ”

Zhu Houhuang looked at the ships of the Buddha Langji and found that there were not many ships. There are only three or four of them. Although the Yongguo fleet had more ships and more guns than the Franc ships. However, the Franc ship was more proficient in naval warfare than the Fu ship.

Therefore, in a fight, the Yongguo fleet may be able to defeat the Franc Fleet, but if it wants to completely annihilate the Franc Fleet, it cannot.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Send someone to see what it means to be a Francophile?" ”

"Tomei, what are you going to do?" The captain asked.

As early as ten years before Zhengde, the Franco-Rang people traveled back and forth to Siam. As far as Siam is concerned, it is also an old friend, these three ships are not the warships of the Franc Man, but the merchant ships of the Franc Man.

However, just a few merchant ships dared to confront the Yongguo fleet, and the high morale of the people was indeed eye-catching.

However, no matter how contemptuous they are of the Yongguo fleet. But there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, the difference in strength between the two sides, so they are not willing to go to war.

Although Tomei has a hatred for Daming, he is not a person who does not know the times. At this moment, he said: "Don't be afraid, the Yong people have made an agreement with us that they will not go south. We sent people to ask them how they were here. ”

As she spoke, Tomei focused her attention on the boat that had just emerged from the Chao Phraya River. Suddenly, I noticed a small boat coming down from a large ship.

"No need to send someone. They've already come with people. Tomei said.

After a while, the small boat approached the big ship of the Franc man, and a man climbed along the rope ladder to the Franc boat, and this man was just an insignificant little person.

Zhu Houhuang was ready to fight at any time, so he didn't dare to send important people, what if something happened.

As soon as this person got on the Franc ship, he asked: "I came to ask you Lord Xu on behalf of the commander of the Yongguo Navy, what are you Franc Mechanics doing here?" ”

As soon as Tomei saw the tone and tone of this person, she knew that he was just a small person, and said, "You are not qualified to ask us how we are?" If you want to know, let someone who is qualified to call the shots. ”

In a word, Tomei sent the future away.

This person could only sit in a small boat and return to the Yongguo fleet again.

Zhu Houhuang heard this sentence and said: "Okay, let them send out a boat, and we will send a boat and merge at sea." Then I came forward to talk to them personally. ”

Xu Dong said: "Your Highness is carrying the weight of a thousand gold, how can you personally take risks? ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "It's okay, they don't know my identity, they only know that I am Xu Song, the Shaofu of Yongguo." ”

Xu Dong wanted to persuade him again, but he heard Wang Yangming suddenly speak and said, "I'll accompany His Highness to go for a while, I'm still curious about the Francophile after all." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Okay. ”

Xu Dong said secretly: "Even if the Franc machine turns against him, he can't attack a Dafu ship for a while, I only need to send some more people to keep His Highness safe." ”

Xu Dong said: "Since this is the case, let the ministers go down and arrange one or two." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Second Brother Xu go down and arrange it." ”

Xu Dong's hands and feet were extremely fast, but after a while, he arranged a Dafu ship.

Zhu Houhuang and Wang Yangming and his entourage got on this big fortune ship.

Xu Dong did not follow Zhu Houhuang over. Because the Yongguo fleet still needs someone to preside. Once there is a change, Xu Dong can react immediately.

After a while, a Daifuku ship and a Franc machine ship came together.

Zhu Houhuang's fortune boat is a little higher than the side of the Franc ship, and I don't know what the people below say, but in the end, the Franc machine man still boarded the big fortune ship first.

Zhu Houhuang's eyes flashed, and he saw an acquaintance. It's Tomei.

Tomei and Zhu Houhuang have met a few times, Zhu Houhuang doesn't know if Tomei still remembers himself, but after Zhu Houhuang passed through Siam, Zhu Houhuang has already secretly re-warned himself in his heart that the son of a daughter can't sit down. You can't take any chances.

Zhu Houhuang immediately said to Wang Yangming: "Master Wang, wait a while, you will preside over the overall situation, I will stand behind you, and the person who will come up after a while knows me and can't show up." ”

Wang Yangming hasn't said anything yet? Zhu Houhuang quickly exchanged places with Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming sat on the front seat, while Zhu Houhuang sat on the side behind Wang Yangming.

Before the two of them could sit down, Tomei had already walked over.

Tomei wears a hat that looks like a western cowboy and carries a slender stabbing sword. Leggings. Iron nails are nailed to the heels. All the way through, it seemed to be playing drums.

Tomei came to the opposite side of Wang Yangming's seat, glanced at Wang Yangming and said, "Is this Xu Song, the young mansion of Yongguo?" ”

Tomei and Xu Song also met, and when he was on the boat just now, he heard that it was Xu Song, the master of the Yongguo side, who was in charge of the Yongwang Shaofu. As soon as he came up and came in, he found that the person sitting opposite was not Xu Song.

Wang Yangming said: "Xu Song has something to do temporarily, and I will replace him temporarily." ”

Tomei didn't understand how to make a temporary substitution, but he didn't care about it, and said, "Then how did such a fleet appear here?" ”

Wang Yangming said: "Doesn't His Royal Highness King Yong already have a tacit understanding with you? We didn't get to 200 nautical miles north of Malacca. ”

Zhu Houhuang lowered his head behind him and tied a handkerchief to his face, covering his mouth and nose. It looked very strange, and it caused Tomedo to take a few looks.

Zhu Houhuang bowed his head for fear of being discovered, and the others were wrong, just as the Chinese look at the Western race, all of them are face blind. And Westerners look - the Chinese are also face blind very. Tomei didn't have any impression of Zhu Houhuang's appearance, plus Zhu Houhuang had a handkerchief hanging on his face.

Naturally, Tomei didn't recognize it.

Tomei's eyes turned to Wang Yangming and said, "I don't think Yongguo can go further south. Because, in the country south of Siam, the Yongguo sailors are not welcome to visit. ”

Wang Yangming scolded: "Joke, all the countries in Nanyang are subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, where can our Ming sailors not arrive." ”

"Before we came to Nanyang, maybe it was true, but now it is not true. Now this is the sphere of influence of our Franco-machine people, we respect the authority of the Ming Dynasty in the South Seas, but we also ask the Ming to respect our authority. ”

Wang Yangming's face darkened little by little, in the hearts of readers, China is a civilized country, and the rest of the countries are barbarians. Wang Yangming is the same, he secretly said in his heart: "No wonder, His Royal Highness King Yong has never forgotten the Buddha Lang Jiren, and regards the Penghu Peace Conference as a great shame." The Francophile is really arrogant and arrogant. ”

Although Wang Yangming also wanted to reprimand Tomei loudly, he couldn't blurt out for a while when he thought of Dongyong's current empty treasury. But it is impossible for Wang Yangming to give in to Tomei.

Zhu Houhuang was afraid that Wang Yangming would not be stimulated, and said: "We are not going to Nanyang, anyway, if we go to the south to purchase materials, we will purchase them in Malacca." It's just that how we want to go, it doesn't go beyond the original agreement. I'm going to ask now, I'm probably too lenient. ”

"Really?" Tomei said, "So where is the next stop?" ”

What Zhu Houhuang just said is true and false, Zhu Houhuang has already purchased from the four countries of Annam, Champong, Chenla, and Siam, or purchased weapons, or sent troops, and so on. In total, nearly two million stone of grain were ordered. And they have already sent people back to prepare to transport grain.

In this way, Dongyong's grain is not lacking much, but Zhu Houhuang's already small treasury is afraid that it will also bottom out. Even if Zhu Houhuang wanted to buy anything, he would have no money.

Therefore, to return to the voyage, it is not to deceive the Francophone people. It's just that Zhu Houhuang doesn't want to return from the same way.
