Zhu Houzhao slowly closed the recital, and said with a sense of matter:

"Ma Haqing's family, I have seen your sorrow and attachment to your homeland these days, and I also want to help you send troops to restore the country.

But there's a question you've thought about.

I, the Great Master of the Navy, have gone to Manraka and helped you repel the pirates.

After you return to China, the sailor will naturally come back. And what if pirates make a comeback at this time?

Once or twice is enough, I squeeze in the treasury, and I can always squeeze out some military spending.

But if there are too many times, no matter how big and rich I am, I can't afford to consume it.

What's more, if you don't have that good luck and die in the chaos next time, who will I go to restore the country for?

If you want to see me, you should be a rich man in the capital and spend your old age in peace. ”

Mahmoud listened to this, hesitated for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said:

"If Your Majesty can help Xiao Wang restore the country, Xiao Wang is willing to bear the military expenses.

In addition, the problem of bandits in Nanyang is really serious, Xiao Wang implored His Majesty to agree to station the Ming army in Manchuria.

Xiao Wang is willing to permanently open the Manraka Strait and the Celestial Empire! ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "I'm right." ”

Fuzhou City.

Jiang Ning, He Yuyao and Diana, as well as a few military masters, stared with bated breath at the quiet river in front of them.

Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded, stirring up a column of water that rushed to the sky, and then quickly fell again.

Everyone's faces were full of excitement.

"It worked!"

An old man with white hair and white hair stroked his palm and laughed.

He is a master craftsman specializing in the manufacture of various firearms, and he has a great reputation in the ordnance superintendent.

"My lord, this mine you designed is really exquisite, and I have studied firearms for most of my life, and I never thought that there would be such a powerful thing.

If this object can be manufactured in large quantities, it can hide under the surface of the sea, waiting for the enemy ship to crash into it and disappear. ”

Lin Wanli and several other masters did not hesitate to praise their words of praise, and praised Jiang Ning.

Without waiting for Jiang Ning to speak, He Yuyao preemptively said for him:

"Old Lin, don't praise him, be careful that his tail is cocked to the sky.

We, Lord Jiang, also mentioned it in passing, to say that now that there is this finished product, it is not something that you brought people to make it day and night. ”

The relationship between He Yuyao and Jiang Ning has never been hidden in front of everyone.

So as the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, she often spoke for him in front of others in the tone of her closest partner, full of flirtation.

Everyone is not surprised by this and is accustomed to it.

Jiang Ning quietly walked behind He Yuyao, blocked everyone's sight, and patted her stiff buttocks behind her.

Immediately, while everyone continued to test the next mine, he leaned into He Yuyao's ear and whispered:

"Let me find out where my Yao'er's tail is?"

When He Yuyao heard this, her cheeks quickly turned crimson, and she glanced at him with disgust and shame.

The demeanor is intimate and sweet.

Just when the two of them were looking after themselves, Diana, who had been observing the mines, suddenly turned around.

Although I didn't know what Jiang Ning and He Yuyao were talking about or doing, I knew that they were tenderness and sweetness by looking at their expressions.

Diana couldn't help but purse her lips and shouted, "My lord, come here, I don't think this mine can go to sea for the time being." ”

Jiang Ning was stunned, approached with He Yuyao, and said, "My genius girl, what did you think of?" ”

At this time, Lin Wanli and the others also focused their eyes on Diana.

"There can be wind and waves at any time at sea, and the scale is difficult to predict.

Mines need to be pulled by ropes, and if the waves fluctuate greatly, the ropes and mines will be washed to unknown places, and what should I do if I deviate from the course?

Moreover, we cannot guarantee that the enemy ships will follow the course we have laid in advance, and this is a big problem. ”

Lin Wanli thought for a while when he heard this, and said in disappointment: "Thinking about it this way, it is impossible to put mines into combat on a large scale?" It's a pity that such a sharp weapon. ”

Jiang Ning didn't care at all, but smiled:

"What's this? You can't use it in the far sea, but you can always use it in the near sea.

These mines were laid in advance at various harbors and wharves along the seashore to provide a defensive effect if enemy ships attacked.

However, if you can make the mine automatically rise and fall in the sea according to the change of water level, ensure that it must be above the waterline of the ship, and then explode at the touch of a button, it can play a big role in conjunction with the strategy.

It's up to people. ”

When Lin Wanli heard this, he closed his eyes and chewed carefully.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said excitedly as if he had realized something: "Quick, you guys go back to the barracks with the old man, and the old man has some new ideas." ”

After that, Lin Wanli spread his old legs and ran.

Several masters hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also rushed over excitedly.

If there is a way to solve this problem, it will be of great benefit when dealing with Franc in the future.

He Yuyao looked at his back affectionately until he disappeared.

Suddenly, Diana called softly: "Sister Yuyao." ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

He Yuyao turned her head and saw that her pretty face was blushing and her demeanor was twisted, and she couldn't help but be curious.

Diana glanced at the guards around her, pulled them aside mysteriously, and whispered with a red face:

"I just came to Daming, and I don't understand many things.

Here, if you are engaged, how long will it take to get officially married? ”

He Yuyao looked at Diana with a smile and quipped, "Can't you wait?" ”

Diana was even more ashamed, and her cheeks were crimson and said, "No, no, I just don't have a bottom in my heart." ”

"Are you afraid that the old man was coaxing you to settle down in the first place, but he has not fulfilled his promise?

Also, after all, you are alone here, he is so good to you, and he gives you the freedom to show your strengths, you will definitely rely on him. ”

He Yuyao said, a strong color of happiness appeared in her eyes.

How could she not be like that herself?

It's just that she was able to keep the clouds open and see the moon, and she finally achieved a positive result.

Diana nodded and muttered, "That's why I'm scared of ......."

He Yuyao gently grabbed her soft and said, "Don't worry, my lord, he has always kept his promises, and he will do it." ”

After a word of relief, she changed her words and said, "By the way, I heard the master say that your hometown is monogamous, can you accept the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Diana knew what He Yuyao meant, and said with a firm expression:

"What's this, since I like him, I must follow him.

Sister Yuyao, do you know? I used to be very proud of my family, but because of it, I became a fugitive from Franco.

I narrowly escaped capture, but I was captured by pirates, teaching them seafaring knowledge every day.

It may seem like a revered status, but I know that as long as I am useless, there will be endless nightmares waiting for me.

After more than two years at sea, I was sold as a slave girl.

I thought night was coming, and I was ready to kill myself.

But the moment I saw the adults, I put out the thought.

He was more personable and dignified than all the men I had ever met.

I was thinking, it's better than a vicious man or an ugly old man. I'm willing to be his slave girl.

But then I found out that he was not only good-looking, but also very knowledgeable, and never treated me like a slave.

There is no more perfect person in this world than him. ”

In the end, there was a hint of obsession and attachment in Diana's amber eyes.

"Well, I didn't know he was so good."

He Yuyao's beautiful eyes flowed, and she smiled lightly.

Diana puffed up her lovely cheeks, crossed her waist and said, "Sister Yuyao, according to Da Ming's words, you are now cheap and good!" ”

The two women glanced at each other, and they were both smiling like flowers.

At this time, Jiang Ning walked back, saw them getting together and biting their ears, and said curiously:

"I'm not working on this, what are you whispering?"

"Hee-hee, we, we ...... just now"

He Yuyaolian stepped forward step by step, and was about to speak, but found that her sleeve was being pulled by someone.

Looking back, I saw Diana shaking her head shyly, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"We were just discussing how to improve the mines for you."

He Yuyao changed his words and said to Jiang Ning like an invitation.

"I see, did those two beauties come up with anything?"

Jiang Ning knew that it was not like that at all, but he didn't break it, but followed the topic.

"No, the concubine body is not as knowledgeable as the old man, and there is really nothing she can do."

He Yuyao pouted her ruddy little mouth and naturally stuck to Jiang Ning's body.

Jiang Ning smiled and hugged her slender and soft waist without looking at Yingying.

"Master Gao, they are simulating a sailor in the camp, let's go and take a look?"

"Okay."

The two women replied in unison.

Hengzhu's relationship with Jiang Ning is well known, and entering and leaving the barracks in women's clothes is nothing.
