Chapter 254 Strange Cargo Habitable Fleet Concept

"Governor?" Yu Feng stopped, turned around, and had a smile on his face: "You can't say this with white teeth so empty, I'll believe it, right?" Your Excellency, apart from the few around you, what else do you have to prove the truth of what you say, so that I can be convinced that I am indeed 'dealing' with a prospective Governor, and not with a talkative liar? ”

Seeing Yu Feng turn around, Langton knew in his heart that he had moved the other party, and he even had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, perhaps, his decision to conquer this place by force was a mistake from the beginning, this young nobleman, the owner of this land, was not as ignorant as he imagined, perhaps, before he led his fleet to attack them, it was also a good choice to sit down and talk to them about common development, after all, there are many Francois here, and they are also His Majesty's people, He should be in awe of the Governor appointed by His Majesty the King. // //

"I have a handwritten letter from my sister, Empress Alexandra, and this knight by your side should be able to tell the truth of this letter!" Langton said with a wry smile: "Besides, I didn't know that you would come today, I wouldn't have forged such a letter early and hid it on my body, right?" ”

Brad took a letter from Langton's hand and was about to hand it to Yu Feng, who shook his head slightly, signaling him to read it first and not hand it to him.

Brad unfolded the letter, skimmed through it quickly, and then nodded at the afterglow.

"Well, I believe in your sincerity, but I still have to ask someone to properly verify the authenticity of this letter, Your Excellency, if you have not lied to me, I believe that we will meet again soon, of course, maybe for you and me, there is a bigger surprise!"

Then Yu Feng instructed the guards beside him: "Let the 'door' of the internal affairs office change their place, and don't treat them badly, lest people say that we have no courtesy!" ”

Without looking at the relieved expressions on the faces of the unlucky guys in the dungeon, Yu Feng turned around and walked out of the dungeon, the smell here was too bad, he had already wanted to come out and breathe.

"Brad, what do you think of this letter?"

"My lord, this is just a 'private' letter, written by our Empress Alexandra to her dear cousin, except for the signature of Her Majesty, there is no royal coat of arms imprint, so it is difficult for me to be sure whether this is Her Majesty's handwriting!" Brad was a little sneering, after all, Her Majesty's seal was not something he could access casually, and it was indeed difficult for him to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

"What does the letter say?"

"In addition to telling him that Her Majesty had secured him the post of Governor of Luzon, the letter also told him that if he could contribute more to the kingdom than any other colony, Her Majesty would be able to secure a more important position for him in front of His Majesty."

"And then?"

"Then there are some new trivial matters in the imperial capital aristocratic circle, which I don't think adults will be interested in!"

"Hmm!" Yu Feng nodded: "In this way, you can't be sure of the authenticity of this letter, whether this Langton will be the next governor, we don't know if he is talking nonsense?" ”

"I don't think so!" Brad cautiously said: "The price of the ransom he offered himself, if we don't receive the corresponding amount of ransom by then, his safety will not be guaranteed in any way, I don't think anyone will deliberately use their 'sex' life to tell such a big lie!" ”

"Tell me about your Far Eastern Fleet! You've heard of this! Yu Feng nodded thoughtfully and asked.

.....．

Two hours later, in the mouth of a Franco-soldier who had been exiled to the East for forging documents from the training camp, Yu Feng got the answer he wanted. The letter, both on the paper and ink on the letterhead and the seal on it, was indeed a product of the Francois Palace, and Langton's words could now be proved to be true.

"Strange goods!" This was the first thought that flashed through Yu Feng's mind, and at the same time, all the doubts and 'confusion' brought by Langton and his fleet were also answered. Why was Langton in a hurry to recruit some outlaws to start a new colonial conquest before he took office, and why were several Western gunboats able to swagger in the traditional realm of the Zheng family, while the Zheng family turned a deaf ear.

This news, presumably the people of the Zheng family have already known, and in Luzon, it is obvious that the Zheng family has their own interests, for the sake of a new city that is not within the scope of interests, and to damage the interests that the Zheng family has already obtained, to go against the incoming governor of Luzon, obviously the choice made by the high-level of the Zheng family makes Yu Feng a little uncomfortable.

The relationship between the Zheng family and Xincheng is basically a one-rod relationship, the benefits that can be gradually obtained from Yu Feng's hands, now they do not rely on Yu Feng, they have been able to be completely self-reliant, and today's Xincheng, for the Zheng family, is just a free port in a remote place, and has become a dispensable corner in the Zheng family's interest chain, they have such a choice, it is reasonable and normal.

It's just that neither the Zheng family nor Langton thought that things would take such a 180-degree turn, and what was originally the object of the hunter has now become the prey, and it is still a prey to be slaughtered.

After getting the news, it was natural that his original plan was about to change. Originally, the capture of four heavily armed gunboats was already a great joy for everyone, and the value and significance of those lost cargo ships compared to these gunboats were simply worlds apart. And Yu Feng didn't expect that seeing a prisoner of his own rank and meeting such a result would be a little narrow-minded for a new governor who was about to take control of a fleet in his hands, and if he was entangled in some gold and silver that he was not actually playing a big role in him now.

He wants battleships! Not to mention relying on these warships to compete with the Zheng family on this ocean, at least, he must have the ability to defend his own port and defend his own shipping routes, like this situation where he can attack his port with a few armed merchant ships and make him anxious about 'chaos', he doesn't want to have a next time. And the fact that such a governor has fallen from the sky right now is simply a great surprise, and if he doesn't knock enough benefits from this governor, he will not be a remnant.

"Brad, do you know how many people in the camp can 'operate' ships? A sailor, a gunner, and maybe even someone who could be the captain of a ship? ”

"Sailors and gunners can find some, but the captain, first mate and second mate and other officers, it is estimated that it is difficult to find them in the training camp, such talents, in the kingdom navy have their positions, they will not go to the east!"

"Oh! Oh, my God!! Brad reacted, "Your Excellency, you didn't have the idea of fighting that fleet in Luzon!" ”

"What, can't you?"

"Your Excellency!" Brad was frightened by Yu Feng's crazy thoughts: "Even the four armed merchant ships we have captured now cannot find enough skilled manpower to use them, the navy is different from the army, it cannot be achieved overnight, and it takes a long process to form combat effectiveness!" ”

"There will always be time!" Yu Feng also knows this, however, if he lets such a good opportunity slip away in vain, he is also unwilling, the naval warships of the Portuguese and Western Kingdoms, this era is one of the most powerful naval forces, they are selling warships all over the world, and they will not sell their warships to the East, this is something he can't buy with money, if he loses this opportunity, then it will really be after this village, there will be no shop.

"But I think Lord Langton should be happy to send his officers to train some men for our new city, and besides, I don't have a big appetite, and I don't need a whole fleet, which will make it difficult for my lord, but I think that if in the battle in the east, your lord's fleet is damaged by three or two ships, I think that such a result should not be difficult for your kingdom's admiral to accept.

"Three capital warships, plus four armed merchant ships, and maybe some auxiliary ships, with such a force, at least there won't be some blind thieves trying to provoke us!" Yu Feng smiled: "Perhaps, it will be difficult for you to display your ambitions in the 'chest' of a deputy thousand households of the training camp, perhaps, in this new fleet, there will be a good position waiting for you!" ”

"Adult ......"

"This matter is 'handed over' to you, and it will be discussed on my behalf, and after the negotiation is done, you are the captain of the capital ship and the deputy commander of the fleet of the Xincheng fleet!" A thousand water divisions! He believes that the reason why everyone's ability is not fully exerted is because they do not have enough motivation, he believes that he has given such a promise, but he is afraid that no matter how Langton buys his subordinate, Brad will unswervingly stand on his own position and unwavering.

"Yes!" Brad's face was red with excitement, in his opinion, this time, the matter is not very difficult, especially in this part of the negotiation, the real difficulty is when implementing the agreements they negotiated, but that is no longer in his area of responsibility, is it?

"By the way, Mr. Chen is planning to accept a few students recently, Brad, I remember that your son Peter has also reached the age of going to school, if you are interested in learning our oriental culture, you might as well find a time to bring it over, let him learn more things with Mr. Chen, there is no harm to children!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" Brad was really moved this time, what kind of person Mr. Chen is, how can he not know that the wisdom tank, military advisor, and knowledge around the adults are naturally first-class in the entire new city, and his son can worship him as a teacher, which makes him happier than directly rewarding him with hundreds of taels and thousands of taels of silver.

"The subordinates will definitely negotiate a satisfactory result for the adults!"
