Wrong?

How is it wrong?

Is there too few people?

Or is the person who went His Majesty not satisfied?

"Back to Your Majesty! This list has been carefully considered by a few of us. However, there must be something wrong, please make it clear to Your Majesty." Fan Jingwen explained with a little apprehension.

"To be honest, most of the people on this side have never heard of me. But some people have heard a little, aren't these and this all your children and nephews? What does this mean? Isn't it far away from Luzon? How can you be willing to let your family run away? You plucked it?"

"This, I dare not deceive Your Majesty. I think it's time for the imperial court to employ people, so I said a few more words to them. Please atone for your sins, Your Majesty!"

"You mean, go now, I won't treat them badly in the future, right?"

"Your Majesty is aware of everything!" Fan Jingwen lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, because there was also his nephew inside.

"It's all right to send them, I've got the list right. But you tell them that if they decide to go, they will do their job. If you dare to do anything out of the ordinary, don't blame me for not showing you mercy. Of course, if you make achievements, I will not hesitate to reward you!

The territory of the Ming Dynasty will only get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more official positions. I say that, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Fan Jingwen saw that Zhu Youzhen didn't mean to be angry, and his head was raised.

"Go back, it's settled. Tomorrow, let them enter the palace to see me!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

On the second day, Zhu Youzhen summoned these officials who were preparing to go to Luzon on the platform.

There were not many of them, only forty or fifty, most of them between thirty and forty years of age, and a few young ones, all of whom were sons and nephews of several auxiliary ministers of the cabinet. Zhu Youzhen looked condescendingly at the big and small officials kneeling in front of him, and spoke calmly for a while.

"Get up."

The crowd slowly stood up and bowed their heads.

"Truth be told, most of you, I hadn't seen before yesterday. But since you can be recommended by a few auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, each must have merit. I am also confident that you will be able to take on the positions you will be able to hold in the future. Still, I have to say two things."

After a pause, Zhu Youzhen continued:

"Luzon is so far away that even our fastest ships of the Ming Dynasty have to sail at sea for eight or nine days. If you go, it can be said that you have left your hometown, and the days of such a comfortable life as in Beijing are probably gone forever. But I can also tell you clearly that as you endure the hardships of life, you will also have an infinite future.

What I said to them is completely valid, and in the selection of future cabinet members, one of them must have experience in overseas service. In other words, one of the future cabinet members will be born from among you! And with the continuous expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the number of officials needed by the imperial court will continue to increase!

In Luzon, there will be at least five prefects among you. But only if you show me what you are capable of. You are the first ones! But it won't be the only one! I will always keep an eye on the development of Luzon, if you can't do it. Then change the batch! If it doesn't work, then change it again! Next, it's up to you! Don't let me down!"

"The ministers will definitely be loyal to their duties, for Your Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, and they will die!" As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words fell, an official standing in the front row echoed in a loud voice. ….

Then the crowd behind him also chanted in unison.

"The ministers will definitely be loyal to their duties, for Your Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, and they will die!"

Zhu Youzhen nodded, no matter what the situation is in the future, at least the morale at the moment is acceptable.

Next, Zhu Youzhen gave them three days off and asked them to pack up.

And three days later, a grand send-off ceremony was held, and they were given a resounding name: "Aid Song Dynasty Officials".

When a group of officials with big red flowers on their chests stepped on the train under the personal farewell of His Majesty, some officials began to realize what a great opportunity they had missed.

With the momentum created by His Majesty, it is clear that he attaches great importance to these officials. At this time, I went to Luzon, and after three or five years of suffering, maybe I could jump up the level when I came back. But regret

If you regret it, you can only wait for the next batch.

Eight days later, the officials stepped on Manila's soil. Most of them had never been to sea, and they vomited to death on the boat two days ago, but then they vomited and vomited, and when they got used to it, they got better.

Until the moment they arrived, they didn't even believe it, and in just eight days, they came to Luzon, which was more than 5,000 miles away.

Conley was not in the city, saying that he had gone outside the city to inspect the farming. Zheng Zhilong led them around the city and introduced the situation in the city.

A group of officials curiously looked around at the buildings that were very different from the style of the capital, looking at the local natives who were no different from them except for a slightly darker complexion, and suddenly felt that this place was not as terrible as they imagined.

Conley returned in the evening, and when he learned that the court had sent officials, he happily ordered a banquet and personally feasted these officials who had helped him to govern the country.

Zheng Zhilong, on the other hand, received an order that he didn't expect.

His Majesty wants to see him and let him enter Beijing.

Although he was named Tainan Bo and held a high and powerful position, he was still full of awe for His Majesty the Emperor, who had only met him once.

[In other words, it is best to read aloud and listen to books at present, @@, install the latest version.] 】

It won't be unloading the mill and killing the donkey, right?

Zheng Zhilong suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

Phew!

It's all the birds, and the good bow is hidden!

But when you think about it, it's not very likely.

Although this Luzon was taken, who knows if those Spaniards will counterattack? In this way, it seems that he is still useful. At least you can help Your Majesty hold Luzon.

"Father-in-law, may I arrange it?"

"Zheng Zongbing will go by himself, and the Sprinkle family will be waiting for you on the boat." After saying that, he boarded the battleship.

Zheng Zongbing called Zheng Zhibao and told him, mainly asking him to be careful of the Spaniards' counterattack, do a good job of vigilance, and don't let people take advantage of the loopholes. Then he boarded the Suncheon with Lu Jiang, and he also received a call from His Majesty to return to Beijing by ship with Zheng Zhilong.

"I said Lao Jiang, this time I made such a great contribution, I should be promoted when I go back, right?" On the deck, Zheng Zhilong held on to the guardrail and said to Lu Jiang with a smile.

"Eh~ for the service of His Majesty, what credit is not credit." Lu Jiang said with a smile.

He said this, but in fact he knew better than anyone how much His Majesty treats people who work hard.

"It's Zheng Zongbing, maybe he can become a monkey~"

"Oops! I never dreamed of it." Zheng Zhilong also laughed.

Then the two exchanged a surging business, attracting the soldiers on the deck to peek incessantly.

Along the way, Zheng Zhilong had a deeper understanding of the battleship.

When he learned that the reason why this battleship was so fast was because it was all about burning coal, he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth.

After seven or eight days at sea, the fleet reached the port of Tientsin, and then he took a train to the capital, where he awaited his majesty's summons.

Zhu Youzhen summoned him as soon as he got the news of his entry into Beijing, and after nearly five years, he met Zheng Zhilong again and said something that surprised him.

"Zheng Zhilong, do you want to be a marquis?"
