"What's the matter?"

Yan Ling, dressed in a short beat, sat in the room, while a middle-aged woman dressed plainly who looked like an ordinary person on the street walked quickly to his side.

Looking out of the window, the place where he is a large park, at the gate, the words "Tiangongfang" shine brightly.

Yan Ling ran on the north and south sides during this time, but he stayed in the south more often.

After all, in the original history, Yan Song had a thorough understanding of Jiajing, and Yan Ling felt that there should be no problem in handing it over to him, he was no longer full of flaws like in the original history.

And Xu Jie...... Yan Ling was silent for a moment, remembering the young man he had seen in Dongqian Academy in the early years of Jiajing.

No matter what, with such an incense, it is impossible for him to go against Yan Song.

It just so happened that now for the family, it was a critical development node, so he went south with confidence.

This workshop is the fruit of his labor in the past few years, a place similar to the Academy of Sciences, a place that integrates military, industry, and agriculture, and brings together the best local craftsmen and farmers.

The first type of spinning machine and the sweet potato in cultivation but the yield per mu is already very high, are all products here.

Yan Ling also wanders around in it from time to time, although he doesn't know how to study many things, but he knows the general development process, so as not to go down the wrong path, and this middle-aged woman is exactly where he was found.

"The one brought by Zhao Wenhua named Tang Shunzhi bumped into our workshop on the street, he seemed to be very interested, and even tried to go in, but was stopped by our guards."

"Oh?" As soon as Yan Ling's mind turned, he already remembered who Tang Shunzhi was.

If it were him, it would be normal to be interested in these things.

And Da Ming also did not stipulate that he could not open a workshop privately, he was not afraid at all, as long as the improvement of the arquebus and the Furlong machine that he was now working on in private was not exposed, then there would be no problem.

So he said casually:

"Leave it alone."

This is also a talent, maybe he can win over a wave. Yan Ling thought so.

Then he remembered Zhao Wenhua, who had been very famous recently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer:

"Jiajing actually really put Zhao Wenhua on the throne...... He can write poems and songs, but he doesn't know anything about fighting! There is also a Tang Shunzhi beside him, who is a little capable. ”

"But to pacify the Japanese Kou, it is not enough to rely on one Tang Shunzhi, Wang Zhi is not so easy to deal with. Zhao Wenhua, hey, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss. ”

The middle-aged woman nodded and agreed:

"Wang Zhi does have some ability, and it is not easy to start from scratch to build his current foundation."

"But compared to us, it's still a lot worse."

"If Wang Zhi hadn't dared to move our ship, and it happened that the Luzon Governor's Office was waging a unification war against the last few small countries in the South Seas, how could this 'Hui King' be arrogant in this sea......"

"But judging from the current situation, it will take another half a year at most, and the final expedition will be completed.

The middle-aged woman also took a small shot at the horse.

Yan Ling smiled, he was still proud of his hard work to break through this huge family business, and then he seemed to remember something, and asked:

"By the way, I told you to find a guy named John Hawkins, did you find it?"

The woman immediately replied:

"I found it, the Hawkins family is still quite famous in the UK."

But then she looked a little embarrassed and said:

"It's just that their family is quite wealthy, they have been maritime merchants for generations, and they are quite famous among the Yi people, so you asked me to invite him...... He was afraid that he would not want to. ”

Yan Ling laughed:

"They are merchants, and businessmen seek profit."

"There's nothing you don't want to do, it's just that the price isn't right."

"If he wants to be an official, he will be an official, and if he wants money, he will give him money, as long as he is willing to come to us, everything is easy to say."

"Listen, at all costs, when necessary, it doesn't matter if you use some means."

"Yes."

The woman said respectfully, then hurriedly stepped back. The head of the family said this, which fully showed that he attached great importance to this matter, and it seemed that he persuaded Hawkins to come east and put it in the first place.

And Yan Ling looked at her figure leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity that I only know that the Galen ship is to move the building into the hull, and the others are completely unknown, and there are differences in the shipbuilding concepts of the East and the West, and it is difficult to reproduce the Galen warship by relying on the craftsmen under his own hands.

We can only see if we can dig up its inventor.

The Chinese-style Canton ships and Fu ships, which are also known as the Junk ships in the Yi population, are the best merchant ships in the offshore waters, but there are indeed few warships and ocean-going ships that can surpass the Galen ships in the field of sails, so he is so eager for them. In the following days when the world is gradually connected, he will inevitably deal with the Yi people, and his subordinates will often sail far away, and he must not fall behind in technology.

If not...... Yan Ling's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Nor can the West be allowed to develop like this.

……

The project of Tanah Lot Temple is very huge, and Zhao Wenhua wants to build this temple to be grand and luxurious, so as to show his respect for the sea god and get the emperor's appreciation.

However, before the temple was completed, he got the news:

Many of the sentry ships of the Japanese appeared on the coast, and the target was suspected to be Shaoxing Mansion?

Zhao Wenhua, who learned about this, didn't worry for a long time, and was even a little excited, and finally it was time to make a big deal and get the credit!

Of course, he knew that he didn't have any military talent, but it didn't matter, he brought Tang Shunzhi just for this!

And in Zhao Wenhua's view, it is just a mere widow, and the defeat in the previous battle was due to the incompetence of the coastal generals. Now he has 10,000 elite soldiers brought from the Beijing Division in his hands, which is not at all comparable to these guards along the coast. It's just to send off the merits of war!

This is also a big reason why he recommended himself - if it was the governor of Xuanda and Jiliao, he would not stand up, but the danger level will decrease.

So he immediately sent Tang Shunzhi to lead 6,000 troops to Shaoxing Mansion to prepare for a decisive battle with the Japanese Invaders, and he was escorted by 4,000 soldiers from the west of Shaoxing Mansion and returned to Hangzhou.

Tang Shunzhi soon arrived in Shaoxing, he gathered the existing soldiers, with a total strength of 10,000 people, to consolidate the city defense, wait for the arrival of the Japanese invaders, and prepare to wait for work.

However, what he didn't expect was that he waited for more than ten days, and although the sentinel ships of the Japanese invaders kept coming and going, there was no sign of landing, and there was news of a large number of Japanese attacks coming from Hangzhou Mansion!

This is an unprecedented large-scale invasion! The total strength of the Japanese reached 30,000, and almost all of Wang Zhi's subordinates and pirates along the coast were dispatched, and their target was the rich Hangzhou Mansion of the Ming Dynasty! Once this provincial capital is lost, it will shake the world!

Wang Zhi wants to show his strength to Daming and force Daming to compromise!
