"Shiyun, watch your words!"

Xie Xuelong said with a straight face.

Lu Shiyun smiled wryly and said:

"I mean, Your Majesty really expects things like a god, and no matter how whimsical the conditions are offered, the Spaniards have to agree. It can be seen that their situation is really bad to a certain extent."

"The more this happens, the better it will be for us! As long as we maintain this momentum of development, within ten years, the name of the empire on which the sun never sets will definitely belong to our Ming Dynasty!"

"The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets?"

"Carlos I, the former king of Spain, once said: On his land, the sun never sets. That is, their colonies are spread all over the world. But in the future, if this is the case, it should be said by His Majesty! It can only be said by His Majesty!"

Xie Xuelong waved his hand and said domineeringly.

Everyone in the cabin was infected by Xie Xuelong, and they all looked at him with reverence.

"Overseer, how are those four Spanish women settled?"

A discordant voice broke the harmonious atmosphere, and Xie Xuelong knew that it was Xiao Wu when he heard the voice. Turning her head to him, she glared at him.

Xiao Wu was startled, and then became a little aggrieved.

"Overseer, didn't you say you handed it over to me?"

Then I didn't let you say it at this time!? You kid is so eye-catching on weekdays, what are you doing today!? Don't you see that I'm pretending to be pushing hard?

"You can do it!"

"Then it's not good to settle down, and after returning to Beijing, I will dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

Yes?

It was everyone's turn to be amazed.

You get a few foreign women to give to Your Majesty, don't say whether the queen is happy or not, the ministers in the court will have to tear you up!

If these red-haired women give birth to a son and a half daughter to His Majesty, what will be the consequences!?

You kid really don't want to live anymore, I went to Spain, and my brain was burned by the smell of foxes on the red-haired ghost?

"Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, ah~" said and turned around and left, but still didn't avoid Lu Shiyun's kick.

"This kid." Lu Shiyun shook his head speechlessly.

"Xiao Wu has a sweetheart, this time I will go back to Beijing, Shiyun, you will go and find a way to match his marriage. Money and food dowry or something, don't worry, I'll come out. If you need me to come forward, you tell me." Xie Xuelong suddenly remembered what Xiao Wu said when he was in Spain, so he instructed Lu Shiyun.

"Okay. It's done! But I'll give you the money, I still have it."

"Well, you look at the arrangement. In addition, we sent a telegram to Kyori to report our itinerary. Get busy, I'll go rest for a while." After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

"The Overseer walks slowly."

The fleet rode the wind and waves, and rushed to Daming at full speed.

Chongzhen for eight years

The twenty-first day of the first month

Forbidden city

"Hooray! Xie Xuelong has just sent back the news that he has led two fleets to approach Bohai Bay and will be able to reach Tianjin Port today!"

Zhu Youzhen, who was eating breakfast, put down the fast child in his hand, slowly stood up, and thought about the time in his heart.

"Yes, it's just these two days. You make arrangements, let's go to Tianjin to welcome Xie Xuelong's triumph!"

"This... It's not in line, is it?"

"What are the rules that are not in order, Xie Xuelong has made great contributions, and I can't go out of Beijing to greet him? Externally, let's just say it's an inspection of the shipyard."

"Yes, long live!"

Half an hour later, Zhu Youzhen got into the carriage out of the city.

Two hours later, he appeared at the port of Tianjin.

Zhu Youzhen summoned Wang Zheng to have lunch together, and then took a nap.

"Hooray... Long live..."Faintly, Zhu Youzhen heard Wang Chengen calling himself in his ear, so he opened his eyes.

"What time is it? Has Xie Xuelong arrived?"

"It's time to apply, and the Inspector has already led the fleet

I'm on the shore, and I'm waiting outside."

"Why didn't you call me earlier?" As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard that Xie Xuelong had arrived, he immediately lifted the blanket on his body and walked out wearing the mink fur prepared by Wang Chengen.

In the open space of the port outside, Xie Xuelong led all the generals and sailors of the first and second fleets to stand in a neat line in the cold wind. As soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen come out, Xie Xuelong immediately knelt on the ground and shouted:

"Minister, Xie Xuelong, knock on Your Majesty!"

"Knock to your majesty!"

The fleet was small in number, but it was full of energy, and the sound broke through the sky!

"Xie Qing, excuse me!"

Zhu Youzhen laughed and personally stepped forward to help Xuelong. Then he looked at Lu Shiyun, the commander of the First Fleet, and Ye Rufang, the commander of the Second Fleet, and raised his hand slightly, making them stand up as well.

Then he looked at all the sergeants, and after glancing at them, he slowly spoke:

"You've worked hard."

"It's not hard!"

Zhu Youzhen did not have an impassioned speech, but these simple five words brought tears to the eyes of these men who had been away from home for a long time.

If Zhu Youzhen personally went to Tianjin Port to welcome their return, which made them feel flattered, then these five short words made them have the belief that a soldier will die for his confidant.

Let them feel that all this hard work is worth it.

But then, Zhu Youzhen's other sentence made them feel more worthwhile.

"For each fleet, a reward of 200,000 taels of silver! Assigned by your captains. The supply fleet is also available!"

"Whew!

！ Long live Your Majesty!"

The crowd could no longer hold back the stirring in their hearts and howled wildly.

A fleet is full of more than 1,000 people, 200,000, and at least more than 100 taels of silver will be distributed to everyone! That's a lot of money.

"Alright, let's all disperse." Zhu Youzhen smiled and waved at them, and took Xie Xuelong's hand back to the house.

"Xie Qing's experience along the way, tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, after we set out from Luzon, we first went to the Sultan of Johor, where we..."

The two of them sat in the hall, one talking, the other listening.

Most of the time, Xie Xuelong spoke again, and Zhu Youzhen occasionally interjected two sentences. When he heard that Xie Xuelong was facing assassination, Zhu Youzhen sweated for him.

"If it weren't for the pistol given to the minister by His Majesty, I'm afraid the minister would have been buried in a foreign land."

"If that's the case, I'll make those thieves pay the price. But you're in luck, as soon as the grenades ran out, reinforcements arrived."

[In view of the general environment,

"yes, if it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements. If you don't see their king, the negotiation will fail completely."

"What kind of man is their king?"

"There is more than enough to defend, but not enough to develop." Xie Xuelong thought about it for a while, and used eight words to define Felipe IV. "It's just a little bit of the minister's opinion, and it's not necessarily accurate."

"I trust your judgment, and otherwise I wouldn't have allowed the Dutch to grow so strong."

"As Your Majesty expected, Felipe IV desperately needed to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the negotiations wouldn't have gone so well."

"It's just the beginning now, and the days to come will be long."

Zhu Youzhen gently put down the treaty book in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, the things on the list that Your Majesty listed were blackmailed to you by the minister, and the transaction came back."
