In fact, he is not to blame for this, originally such jokes were very frequent in their lives.

But at this moment, on such an occasion, what Franco said would only make them feel vulgar and disgusted.

After all, who can tell a joke to a group of people whose souls have ascended to the level of sublimation, and still succeed in making them laugh?

The embarrassment did not last long, however, and after a moment of silence, Serezo walked out with the instructor's permission.

"Franco, you're going to take us back to Mexico City?"

"Yes, Lord Serenzo, since the ransom has been paid, and the Akito will not return, it is better to go back. Besides, all the people in your family are looking forward to your return day and night."

"Let's go."

"Think about the test again, huh? Are you going back?"

"Yes!"

"Can you go now?"

"You can go now!"

...

Franco looked back at the soldiers who had brought her, then at the instructors standing nearby, and finally at the group of captives who were quietly watching him.

Is it that I don't understand, or is the world changing fast?

What happened in one night?

Don't have to work hard for your ideals?

Don't need to realize personal value?

Don't repent to the West?

"So, let's go?"

"Lead the way."

Serre didn't say a word of nonsense on the left, and motioned to Franco to lead the way.

Franco returned to the docks with a group of people with mixed feelings, first asking them to wait at the docks, and then he went to find Zheng Zhilong.

"Mr. Zheng, what method did you use to make these people change their minds so quickly?" Franco sat across from Zheng Zhilong and asked in amazement.

"There's no way to do it, just to persuade them. Let them think about their parents at home."

"And then?"

"And then?"

"And then what did you do?"

"Didn't they do anything, didn't they promise to go with you?"

"But I always felt, always felt that something wasn't right."

"You don't care if they're right, and you can just take the people back and hand them over?"

"Makes sense. And when will we set sail back?"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll have someone prepare supplies for you. Do you want a ewe?" Zheng Zhilong raised his eyebrows.

"W-Don't want this, right?"

"Huh? You are the chief, so you can naturally bring the female roll on the boat. But it's been a long journey to Spain, and I don't know how long I'll have to float at sea, so what do you do with these sailors who are full of blood? Can't they all fight bayonets?

I have to talk about you, as a commander, you have to think about your subordinates in every detail. Pay attention to all aspects of their lives to make them loyal to you.

That's it, I'll pick some big fat sheep to send you, and let the sailors walk the sheep trail if it's okay. Improving lives for the better."

Zheng Zhilong educated Franco seriously, and Franco nodded again and again.

"It's all up to Zheng Zongbing's arrangement."

Well, it's been a long time, and there is a big difference between sailing at sea and walking on land.

On land, there are many ways to solve a problem.

But not at sea, because going out to sea is a very time-consuming activity, and women are rarely carried on board, which leads to the unusually restless restlessness of the young sailors. Restlessness is about to be vented, and there is no exit, and some people begin to fight with bayonets, such as Magellan's expedition fleet, which found more than one fight with bayonets.

But after all, those who choose to fight bayonets cannot be all, and there are some others who choose to extend their black hands to the ewe. I don't know who the first one reached out, but it became more and more popular later. Often in the dead of night, there are sailors who can't sleep to come to the sheepfold of the ship and try the joy of riding a white motorcycle.

As the saying goes, he is strong, he is strong, I X my sheep.

Two again

After discussing the details, Franco took his leave.

Early the next morning, he found Zheng Zhilong again and asked about the preparation of supplies.

"Don't worry, it's been arranged overnight. Let's go, I'll take you to the docks."

With that, he stood up and took Franco to the docks.

The captives had been involved in the process of carrying supplies yesterday, and they had been busy until the middle of the night, when they stopped, and then they slept directly on the ship.

Franco didn't come to the dock after returning from Zheng Zhilong yesterday.

He didn't know anything had changed on the docks.

Until he left the city, he saw a scene that shocked him.

The docks where merchant ships used to dock were all requisitioned, and in their place were huge steel warships!

The First Fleet is here again?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eh?

Isn't it seven?

Franco subconsciously counted, only to find that the number was wrong, looking at the distance, and.

XVI, XVII, XVIII.

Eighteen!

Eighteen steel battleships! How are there so many!? Aren't there only seven of them?

"Dear Franco, why don't you leave?"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Franco, who stopped, and asked with a smile.

"I, I, Mr. Zheng, what's going on? How come there are so many ships?" Franco stammered. It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that his legs are already weak with fright.

"Oh, you're talking about these boats. Your Majesty fears for your safety, so he has sent two fleets to escort you home."

Boat!?

You call it a boat?

"No need, right? We've made many round-trips, and the crew and sailors are very experienced, and we know these sea routes well, so I won't bother you."

There was a hint of pleading in Franco's tone, hoping that Zheng Zhilong would change his mind and stop letting this terrifying fleet sail to the Gulf of Mexico.

"Look at what you said, how can this be called trouble? Your Majesty said, be brothers, in the heart! From now on, we will be a brotherly country that looks at each other and relies on each other. Sending a fleet to escort you home is what we should do. You're welcome."

"But along the way, the food and drink, the crew's salary, and the wear and tear of the ship are a lot of expenses. How can your Great Emperor be so spoiled?"

Franco was moved and prepared to make a final struggle.

"What's the cost, don't break the money, Your Majesty said, he's not bad for money. Besides, didn't you just send more than 10 million taels of silver? I can't finish it."

I'm Nima, and I'm going to take our money to feed your fleet, but there's no need to send so many warships, right? You're hard for me to believe you're not trying to do something wrong.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it. Didn't Your Majesty still attach importance to the negotiation between the two sides, so he sent the First Fleet and the newly commissioned Second Fleet. Not only can it protect your safety, but it can also negotiate along the way. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, and walked forward with Franco in his arms.

Ignoring Franco's inner feelings.
