Chapter 44

Chapter 44 will be counted

Xiong Wencan's face has changed.

When Wen Tiren turned around, Xiong Wencan's face changed back. On the way back to the city, Xiong Wencan looked happier than Wen Tiren. But as soon as Wen Tiren said that it was time for tomorrow's ceremony, he would diverge it with other words.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youzhen was drinking tea with an old man with white hair, and Sun Chengzong was accompanying him. Zhu Youzhen heard the voices of these two people, and said to Xiong Wencan:

"I just happened to have come here, and I invited the governor of Nanjuyi from Weinan. Only the old governor and the red-haired man have ever fought here. I also told the Southern Governor about Penghu, and you should also sit down and listen to the Southern Governor's opinion. ”

Nan Juyi is actually Xiong Wencan's predecessor in this position, and during his tenure, he has played against the Dutch twice near Taiwan. The largest of them used more than 300 ships of all kinds, and Zheng Zhilong rose at that time.

"In the fight against the Red-haired Navy, you must be cautious." The old governor fifty-three hung up his crown in the fourth year of the Apocalypse and returned to Weinan, Shaanxi Province to study and live in seclusion. When Zhu Youzhen had the idea of touring the south in the summer, he arranged for a special person to invite the old governor.

"Be cautious."

Those who have actually fought a war are completely different from those who have fought verbally.

The old governor had experienced that terrible naval battle. Although he used 300 ships to surround the 14 Dutch warships in the sea, in the end, the Dutch took advantage of a sudden storm to break out of the siege.

The biggest of these was actually the pirates who were attached to the Dutch.

"Your Majesty, at that time, our biggest warship was the Fu Ship, and it was also the one on Your Majesty's table. It's only nine zhang long. Even so, there were less than twenty ships in his hands at that time. At that time, the warships of the red-haired Dutchmen were twenty feet above. The minister didn't dare to say big things, but the minister was also at the bow of the Fuchuan at that time. At that moment, the minister saw the twenty-zhang warship, and he had no other thoughts, that is, to die for the country. ”

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen is presumptuous." As he spoke, Nan Juyi began to take off his overcoat.

Zhu Youzhen turned around, but saw Wen Tiren, who was usually calm and calm, writhing around like a monkey today. Nan Juyi was undressing, so he turned his head and said:

"You know me, if you want to change your clothes, you can do it yourself, why is this?"

Wen Tiren not only wanted to leave to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony, but was also a little afraid that Xiong Wencan would steal the limelight from him. Xiong Wencan hurriedly stepped forward at this time to help his predecessor undress.

Wen Tiren looked at it and quickly interjected:

"Your Majesty, today is quite smooth, the Dutch heard the name of His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, and are ready to leave after sending gifts from the Holy See. Why don't you go and prepare for tomorrow's ceremony? ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment and didn't speak. Wen Tiren hurriedly said:

"The minister went?"

"Okay, okay, you go."

"The minister is still unfamiliar with the etiquette of the court, so it is better to ask the prince to assist the minister." Wen Tiren saw the emperor's expression, and thought that His Majesty was a little confused by this information. But seeing that the emperor was so well prepared, he didn't have much to say.

"Good!" Zhu Youzhen reacted, and nodded indifferently.

The remaining three also stopped. Wen Tiren didn't care, waited for Wang Chengen to come over, and left Zhu Youzhen's big study side by side.

"It seems that the crisis of the Dutch is not serious, you should also go out to relax, and I will leave the eunuch Wu Zhi here."

After speaking, he walked in front of Nan Juyi and continued to wait for him to speak calmly.

"Your Majesty, you see, it's not that the old minister didn't want to continue to serve the emperor, it's just that the minister was plagued by gunshot wounds at that time." Zhu Youjian saw that there were scars left by bullets on his arms and back.

"But there are still bullets left in the body?" Zhu Youzhen felt that his questioning was a little unaffected by emotion.

"Yes."

"Go to Xuantai Hospital, and come to the doctor Sun Yousu." Zhu Youzhen sent away the eunuch Wu Zhi again.

Then he looked at Xiong Wencan, Nan Juyi and Sun Chengzong and said.

"Cao Bianjiao and the three of them all know that they are also good men who fought in Liaodong. He sent me a letter that the Dutch, the strongest of the seven provinces in the East Indies, had eighty cannons on one ship, including one or two cannons of thirty-six pounder guns. The rest of the medium-sized battleships had an average of more than fifty guns. Our current fortune ship has less than 30 cannons. The main thing in it was the Western 18-pounder gun. ”

"The words of the Southern Governor are also a lesson from blood. Cao Bianjiao's words are also a lesson that is being exchanged for blood. Zhu Youzhen was a little irritable and a little disappointed.

Then, he suddenly walked in front of Xiong Wencan and asked with a smile:

"Who agreed that I would ask for a gift from the Netherlands? I am such an emperor in your eyes? What is the Holy See in Europe, I don't tell you much about it on weekdays! What's more, who let you reveal that I am in Fuzhou! ”

With a plop, Xiong Wencan knelt on the ground.

He had seen Zhu Youzhen lose his temper, but he had never seen Zhu Youzhen lose his temper with a smile. Sun Chengzong and Nan Juyi were about to leave their positions, but they were held back by Zhu Youzhen. However, he did not lift Xiong Wencan up.

"Tell me, I'm waiting here."

Xiong Wencan raised his head, but saw that Qi Han, who was not very common in daily life, had already stood on his side.

"The minister was ...... at the time" Xiong Wencan didn't dare to hide it, and directly said the negotiations with the Dutch today, and Zhu Youzhen was alert.

"Get up." When he heard Xiong Wencan's ears, sweat fell. He trembled and got up, but heard the emperor say:

"Qi Han, you get me a handkerchief and a pair of scissors."

"I don't want you Xiong Wencan to be a place the size of a cowhide today, I only need a handkerchief, why do you think it is?"

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhu Youzhen asked Qi Han to cut the handkerchief into thin strips, and then framed a large area with thin cloth strips, and only put a straight line, Xiong Wencan understood.

"The Holy See, the Holy See itself has indescribable contradictions with the kings and merchants of the Netherlands, how can they follow the ships of the East India Company to give gifts to me." Zhu Youzhen looked at Xiong Wencan without knowing what to do.

"Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong was also a little funny, and put away the strips of cloth on the ground with a little touch and stuffed them into Xiong Wencan's arms.

"They're just ......"

Zhu Youzhen directly interrupted his persuasion.

"I can't leave Wen Tiren here, after tomorrow, let him take a spare job. The more this happens, the more I can't go, and they Dutch people look weird, but it's easy to guard against. And the more this happens, the more I feel that it is a good opportunity, maybe after they go back this time, they will take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to land and fight. ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, the old minister can also contribute." Nan Juyi said.

"Your Majesty should not be in danger and not afraid of the Dutch, but these pirates who are attached to the Dutch must also be guarded against." Sun Chengzong said.

Neither of them had the intention of speaking for Wen Tiren.

Sometimes ministers can desperately save their colleagues from the wrath of the emperor, but that is based on recognition of their intelligence and conduct. Once you find that you lack IQ and still want to grab the credit, no one has the intention to come forward.

"Song Yingxing will send some weapons over in a while, Nan Juyi's side, I also want to temporarily take the position of general of coastal defense first, and you will communicate with Inspector Sun specifically. General Nan has not been in the imperial court for the past three or four years, and he may not be familiar with some of the new weapons of the Ming soldiers. Tomorrow's war against the Dutch will be dominated by Inspector Sun, supplemented by General Nan. Remember, before all the battles, you can say nothing before me, and I am willing to listen to your advice. However, if I have made up my mind, even if I am defeated, all nations will be guilty, and I will bow to the sin. I can still afford to fail a few times on this shoulder. Clear? ”

"Whoa!" Sun Chengzong and Nan Juyi both stood up.

"Leave this matter to Wen Tiren. He's the least burdened anyway. Xiong Wencan, you can take someone there, and you can plan it, but you really fell for someone else's plan and lost Daming's face. ”

"Whoa!" Xiong Wencan also hurriedly took the order loudly at this time.

"If you send the priest up, is it also a substitute for the dead?" Zhu Youzhen asked in a muttered voice.
