Hua Houwei squirted out a sip of tea: "Damn! Really?"

Qi Youshan was anxious: "It's definitely true, it's more real than real gold!" The people he met in Foemma were basically the second and third generations, and they called themselves Rasikaji. However, it seems that the cemeteries in their clan are all facing the northeast, and they are also the tombs of our Ming Dynasty, and there are also inscriptions. They all use blue and white porcelain, as well as kilns for firing porcelain, this is the note left by their ancestors, lord, you see!"

Liu Jian snatched the note, and as soon as he got started, he said categorically, "That's right! This is bamboo paper produced in Quanzhou, the price is cheap, and I took out a lot of it back then!"

Huahou Wei Khanran, this ancient person is a cow fork, and even the paper knows where it is produced. But his focus wasn't there: "The boss is amazing! Brother, did you find Cape Storm after that?"

Qi Youshan nodded: "I found it, I can be regarded as well-informed in my life, and I have never seen such a big storm!" The walls of the sea are like cliffs, and the back is like a hillside, and no ship can withstand such a blow! There was also a whirling wave like a tornado, and the three eagle boats covered the fleet and couldn't dodge, and were directly shattered by this big wave, and no one escaped! And the undercurrents that come from the shore, when they mix with the waves, the whole sea rolls like boiling water, and no matter how many boats pass by, they die!"

I have long known that the Cape of Good Hope is a *** place that does not live up to its name, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Qi Youshan was sitting beside him, Hua Houwei's heart was still swaying, and he couldn't help but ask anxiously, "How much is the loss?"

Qi Youshan Muran replied, "There are three eagle ships and a merchant ship, and there are more than a thousand people in total. Alas, the lowly duty is still careless, always feel that the shooting of Japanese ships is strong, and there is no opponent in the four seas, even after going to sea, and the navies of various countries are also victorious, who knows, who knows that it is a blow to the head!"

Looking at Qi Youshan's sliding tears, Hua Houwei put down his thoughts, and just reprimanded him sternly, "Qi Youshan! What did I say when you kid left?"

Qi Youshan stood up straight and said nothing, tears flowing wantonly on his face. The more Hua Houwei spoke, the more angry he became, and slapped Qi Youshan in the face: "Bastard thing! You pay Lao Tzu's soldiers! Ma De, again and again, again and again, you kid is the tail! It is not easy for the Ming Dynasty to cultivate an ocean-going navy, and you will lose more than a thousand if you don't fight! You bastard!"

Qi Youshan fell to his knees and cried: "Lord Wang! It's incompetent! I beg the prince to give me a humble position!"

Hua Houwei's eyes were also red, and he kicked Qi Youshan down: "Get out!" You know that you deserve to die and can be saved, and from now on, live for the brothers who gave their lives for your country, and they are all watching you from heaven!"

Liu Jian sighed: "How can there be immortals in war? Opening the sea is a life of nine deaths, how small are mortals under the power of heaven? Your Highness, Qi Youshan can be regarded as dutiful, and a slight punishment is enough!"

Wang Yangming stepped forward and pulled up the paralyzed Qi Youshan: "Qi Youshan, stand up straight!" This is also a helpless thing, although you are negligent, but put yourself in their shoes, I will not do better."

Hua Houwei walked back and forth in the room a few times and sat back in his seat: "The elder and senior brother spoke, forget it this time. Qi Youshan, remember, your life is no longer your own, live well!"

Qi Youshan wiped a handful of snot and tears, bowed his head and said yes. Hua Houwei sighed: "Old Qi, a commander can treat soldiers as numbers when fighting, but it doesn't mean that they can be used as numbers in ordinary times. Remember, every warrior is the wealth of our Ming Dynasty and our brother. Okay, so where do you go farthest?"

With a thick nasal voice, Qi Youshan replied in a deep voice: "The wind and waves at Storm Point forced me to have no choice but to go ashore first. Who knows that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. That place was a treasure land, full of gold. Half of the gold that the lowly has brought back this time comes from there!"

Depend on! South Africa! Hua Houwei suddenly realized that this is the Cape of Good Hope, which is very close to Cape Town. What is South Africa? It is the place with the largest gold reserves in centuries, and the place where diamonds are exported the most, that is, the place where you can dig up the dog's head gold with your eyes closed! He asked eagerly, "How many men have been sent?" If you don't take up such a fat place, you will be sorry for the dead brothers."

"A fortress was built, and a battalion of troops was left. Lord, if you don't go out, you don't know how high the sky is, and places like this also occupy the Gold Coast, where the gold is no less than Cape Storm. That's it, and what kind of Farahi in Europa."

"France, huh? After fighting for a long time, you can't figure out who your opponent is? How do you become a commander?" Hua Houwei glared at Qi Youshan dissatisfied, but his heart became more and more vigilant, at this time, Europe had already begun to loot everywhere, and it seemed that sooner or later it would be a battle!

"Yes, it's France. I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and after a small battle, France retreated after losing the enemy."

Wang Yangming had been listening quietly, and suddenly interjected, "Senior brother, is France a strong country in Europa? I see you care so much."

Hua Houwei smiled: "France, it is indeed a first-class power in Europa, but I don't know much. I only know that this country has a lot of potential, and I am afraid that it will be the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Wang Yangming nodded and didn't say anything more. Qi Youshan continued: "Bypassing the Gold Coast, the fleet sailed northwest, and finally came to Gibraltar in Europa. There they traded with the Aragonese before the fleet turned around and returned."

Liu Jian pinched his fingers and counted: "Isn't it? It won't take more than two years, right?"

Qi Youshan sighed: "On the way back, there was a big storm, and the fleet turned to the northeast and then to the southeast."

"New World! Qi Youshan, is there a continent with a tall mouse?" Hua Houwei jumped up, his eyes were full of surprise!

Qi Youshan nodded in shock: "Lord Wang, how do you know?"

Huahou Weiwei smiled: "Lao Tzu just heard of it, I thought it wasn't true, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, there really is such a place!" Qi Youshan, how many people are left?"

"A battalion, and a fortress."

"Good! The Japanese army will be expanded immediately, and the New World, Cape Storm, and Gold Coast must be firmly held in the hands of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Hua Houwei's attention turned overseas, Zhu Houzhao finally ushered in the harvest season. In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, the cabinet is no longer the center of a country, and has been replaced by the military aircraft department that he has just established. Of course, he did not want to cause a strong backlash from the cabinet, and the transfer of power was like a spring breeze and rain.

"Your Majesty, the opening of the sea is indeed the opening of a cornucopia!" Yang Tinghe exclaimed with joy, with the money machinery manufacturing bureau to develop and grow, he Yang Tinghe has a bigger stage, more abundant capital, and made contributions.

Wang Yue also smiled, he is not one of those so-called orthodox scholars, if it weren't for the lack of civil and military ministers among the ministers, where would the minister of the Military Aircraft Department get his turn? Hua Houwei's ocean trade he was originally in favor of, but this time when he saw the money, he was naturally happy: "Yes, the Golden Dragon Firm, Zesheng Firm, and Duanmu Yifeng have divided 400,000 taels of gold this time, and there is no need for hundreds of officials to cry poor this year."

Zhu Houzhao also smiled: "Well, my life is much better. Master Yang, last time you asked for money, I really didn't have it, how many things did you delay? This time I can rest assured, hehe, the wages of the craftsmen will rise again, otherwise it is not a matter to always point to Nanjing."

Xie Qian's heart sank, Zhu Houzhao in this section of Beijing was full of might, and he made a bold move against the DPRK situation with lightning speed, and he had already won a complete victory. Whether he was reluctant or not, the civil and military officials did not dare to obey, Zhu Houzhao had already passed the biggest crisis after ascending the throne and began to really take charge of the government. The situation in the capital is stable, and Huahou Wei in the south has become the biggest obstacle to Zhu Houzhao's words, is Zhu Houzhao's goal next?

Thinking of this, Xie Qian smiled and said, "Yes, Tianxingjian is a gentleman who strives for self-improvement. Jiefu, what Your Majesty said is that you always rely on Nanjing, and once the situation in Nanjing changes, it will be difficult for the capital to do so. Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the next step is to increase investment in the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, oh, and the new army's investment in weapon renewal and training."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed, but he shook his head: "It is appropriate for the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau to increase investment, the new army is basically an army, and there is no need to move weapons and equipment."

Xie Qian smiled and nodded, but he was relieved. Zhu Houzhao showed his heart and had no hostility towards Hua Houwei.

After a few people discussed for a long time, Zhu Houzhao took a few little eunuchs and went straight to Cining

Palace. Empress Dowager Zhou was basking in the sun, and when she saw that it was Zhu Houzhao coming over, she smiled and beckoned: "That's it! You're the emperor now, forget about those etiquette."

"Ancestor, that's not going to work! Whether your grandson is the emperor or not, you must honor your ancestors! Ancestor, this is the diamond of the Storm Corner, Brother Wei asked the master to process it, saying that it was the top craftsmanship of the eight hearts and eight arrows. The grandson thinks it looks good, the ancestor, you can play with it."

Empress Dowager Zhou took it and looked at it casually, and just wanted to throw it aside, Zhu Houzhao pointed to the diamond and said, "Ancestor, turn a few times against the sun, there is fire!"

Empress Dowager Zhou turned a few times as she said, and the crystal clear diamond suddenly shone brightly, and the brilliant light like a rainbow caught people's eyes, like the brilliant clouds on the horizon. Empress Dowager Zhou laughed: "It's so beautiful! Take a good photo, send it to your mother, the ancestors are old, and they don't need such good things."

Zhu Houzhao's expression was a little unnatural, and he just explained casually: "There is the queen mother, this is specially given to the ancestor by the grandson."

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand, and all the people around her retreated far away. She looked at Zhu Houzhao with a smile: "Houzhao, you think too much about some things, your mother is really your mother!"
