"No, how did Your Majesty know that I came here to deliver a letter?"

But soon, Lu Fang was relieved, looked at the envelope in his hand, and said to himself silently: "Yes, Your Majesty has now achieved cultivation, and it is natural to know this!" ”

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Fang handed the envelope in his hand to Jiajing's hand in awe.

Jiajing took the envelope from Lu Fang's hand, and after glancing at the signature on it, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, and he said secretly.

"Hey, it turns out that this letter was not sent by Hu Zongxian, it was sent by Tan Lun to me, and Tan Lun suddenly wrote a letter to me, is there something wrong with Fujian?"

With such doubts, Jiajing Xuan opened the envelope in his hand and meticulously browsed the contents on it, only to see that it was written.

"Your Majesty, not long ago, Weichen received a letter from Xu Jie, in which he asked Weichen about the whole story of the transfer of grain to Zhejiang not long ago."

"Wei Chen thought about it again and again, and finally decided to inform Yu Xu Jie's about your order to transfer grain, and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness!"

"In addition, ...... these days"

After Jiajing finished reading the contents of the letter, the look on his face suddenly became cold, and he immediately slapped the table and said in a deep voice.

"This Xu Jie, I'm really impatient, I dare to investigate this kind of thing, it seems that I don't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know that the sky is high!"

Lu Fang, who was waiting beside Jiajing, was taken aback by this sudden change, and immediately stepped forward and asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Jiajing did not have the interest to explain the ins and outs to Lu Fang, but just handed the letter in his hand to Lu Fang and spoke.

"See for yourself!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

I saw Lu Fang take the letter paper from Jiajing's hand, and immediately began to browse it carefully, and after Lu Fang finished browsing the content on it, he immediately lost his voice and said: "Ah, this ...... This ......"

After this, I saw Lu Fang looking at Jiajing, his face was full of hesitation, and he immediately asked.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, what are your plans for this? ”

Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, and after thinking for a while, he immediately spoke.

"In this way, you go and let those Jinyi guards stare Xu Jie to death for me, and if there is any news, report to me immediately!"

When Lu Fang heard this, he immediately reined in his mind and responded in a deep voice.

"Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will do it!"

……

The first rays of the morning sun shine on the waves raised by the sea in the distance, and the sky and sea are blended together and shine brightly.

The fleet composed of thirteen treasure ships is lined up in a tight battle formation, without revealing a single flaw, sailing in the established direction, and the Ming flag hoisted on the ship is hunted by the sea breeze.

At this moment, on the deck of the ship, Gu Yan, the supreme commander of this fleet, was using the monocular in his hand to observe the situation in the distance.

After a while, I saw Gu Yan put down the monocular in his hand, and immediately called his subordinates and gave instructions.

"Bring the map to the official!"

"Yes, sir!"

After that, I saw a map drawn on parchment, which was presented in front of Gu Yan, and immediately, after Gu Yan compared the route drawn on the map and the signs everywhere on it, he announced to his subordinates quite excitedly.

"Judging from the marks on the map, at present, we have reached the vicinity of Tianzhu, and next, we only need to continue sailing in this direction, and we will be able to come to this place named the Strait of Malacca by His Majesty!"

When the subordinates on the side heard this, they were also quite excited about this, and at least two months have passed since the official departure of the fleet.

For the past two months, the fleet has been sailing in this endless sea, and usually only relying on the compass to discern the direction.

Because a large number of bean sprouts were prepared on the ship before departure, the crew of these thirteen treasure ships did not have many symptoms of scurvy.

At this moment, I heard a panicked voice: "Report to your lordship, not far ahead, five unidentified warships suddenly appeared!" ”

"What, give me the binoculars!"

After that, I saw Gu Yan take the monoclot from the hands of his subordinates on the side, and began to observe the five warships in the distance.

On the other side, the commander of the five ships, Nils. Lawson also received a report from his subordinates, saying that a large number of unidentified warships suddenly appeared in the sea not far ahead.

Niels. Rosen, who belonged to the Spanish Armada, was on his way to trade with the mysterious Oriental Nation.

The silk, tea, porcelain, etc., produced in that oriental country, were widely welcomed by the entire European aristocracy, and the extravagant Spanish royal family was no exception. Rosen, accepted this assignment from the Spanish royal family.

The purpose of his trip, on the one hand, was to start trade with the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, to take this opportunity to explore the reality of the Ming Dynasty and better understand the situation of this eastern country, so as to prepare for the next conquest!

After all, just five years after the new king Philip II, the power of the Kingdom of Spain was at its peak, and the ambitious new king was eager to expand the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, occupy more colonies, and spread the glory of Christianity further afield.

After that, I saw Nils. Rosen, from the sailors on deck, took the monocular and looked in the direction of the Ming fleet, but what he saw next made him feel terrible.

In the distance, I saw that thirteen ships with wide bottoms, high stern heads, and blue flags were gradually changing formations, lined up in a straight line, and the cannons carried on the ships reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.

Seeing this, Nils immediately panicked, he knew very well in his heart that the fleet on the opposite side was ready for battle!

"God, how could such a powerful fleet suddenly appear here!"

"Even among the Invincible Armada, there are no such huge warships, and besides, judging from the caliber of the cannons carried on those warships, their power must be terrifying and abnormal!"

After Nils put the monocular down, he hurriedly called the most experienced first mate on the ship, handed him the monocular, and asked.

"Hey, Danny, can you tell which country's flag is flying on the other side of the fleet?"

"I don't know, boss, maybe I can try!"

After the first mate, known as Danny, took the monoculars from Niels' hand and began to look at the Ming fleet in the distance.

"It's strange that the ships were hung with blue flags embroidered with thirteen stars, and in the very center of the flags there was a dragon with teeth and claws, and next to it seemed to be the sun...... And the moon? ”

After observing for a long time, the first mate, known as Danny, reluctantly put down the monoculars in his hand and reported to Nils.

"Chief, I've never seen a flag like this!"

Seeing this, Nils had no choice but to shake his head and order rather helplessly.

"In this way, tell the other side in the flag language that we are not hostile and do not want to go to war with them!"

"Follow your orders!" (End of chapter)
