Bai Zizong said when he met: "It's not that I'm suspicious. Boss, you really shouldn't believe that Luo Huo. In case he doesn't come back, we not only lose 60,000 taels of silver in vain, but also catch a Zhao Chong. Higashino Suo also said: "Boss, I have an idea with Zizong. It's January, but today is the last day of January. Seeing that it was already dusk, but there was not even a ghost, what was it? "Everyone, you and I say everything, most of them are this opinion. Unexpectedly, Zhong Lei shook his head at everyone and smiled: "There was a Sun Ce in the Three Kingdoms who captured the young general Shi Taici. That Shi Taici said that he would go back to recruit the old department, and agreed that he would come back at noon, so Sun Ce let him go. Seeing that the crowd was suspicious of Luo Huo's sincerity, Zhong Lei patiently applied the reason to show that the believer was not suspicious. "Sun Ce's generals and advisers, like you now, didn't believe that Shi Taici would come back, and they planted a bamboo pole in the camp. But at noon the next day, Na Shi Taici really came with his old department, and he became a brave general loyal to Eastern Wu. I won't say what is wrong with you, but those who want to do great things must learn to recruit talents, and believe in people, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward and achieve something. Ladies and gentlemen, the young master is still young, and his future is on us. But Yijun has taken the opportunity to become the emperor, and all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are his, and it will be easy to kill the young master at that time. That's why I'm worried. If my young master has two or three hundred thousand male soldiers in hand, does she dare to have any intention against my young master? Alas, this woman can take the young master's life with a holy decree. After saying that, with a sad look on his face, Shi Guo interjected. "Don't worry, the chief manager, although I only have 3780,000 soldiers and horses in Longqing, I only occupy about 20 cities. But the generals are united, and the soldiers and horses are loyal and brave. The Empress Dowager Li can't help the young master. Everyone is right to think about it, so they no longer suspect Luo Huo. Instead, he focused his mind on the young master.

At night, the lights on the dragon ship had just been lit. The generals were eating and drinking around the long table, talking and laughing until midnight. Just about to disperse, Zhao Cai suddenly broke into the main hall to report, saying that Luo Huo had returned, and heard that he had brought more than 3,000 taels of gold, more than 700,000 taels of silver, thousands of horses, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. And when they heard that sixty thousand taels of silver gave birth to so many treasures. Naturally, they were full of joy, and they got up after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, and just got out of the main hall to get off the dragon ship to greet Luo Huo and his party, and they saw Zhao Chong take the master to the dragon ship, and walked with a smile.

"Boss, the last general is here. Zhao Zhong knelt down on one leg and said, Zhong Lei didn't speak, and after dragging him up, he took Luo Huo's hand and entered the main hall, and pressed him on his chair. I poured a big bowl of wine, and then beckoned everyone to sit down and continue to drink and eat. He smiled at Luo Huo and said, "Luo Huo, I will make you a loyal general." Command 50,000 soldiers. After Longqing settles the capital, it will be handed over to you to guard the capital of Longqing, and the safety of the palace will be handed over to you. Luo Huo hurriedly left his seat and knelt on the ground and said, "Thanks to the chief manager's love." Luo swore to follow the young master. Zhong Lei picked up Luo Huo with both hands, invited him to sit down and said with a smile: "When I saw you for the first time." It feels like you're a loyal and brave tiger. Now it seems that it was. Let's talk about it. How many treasures have you brought to my old bell, so that everyone can follow Lele, it can be regarded as a drink. Luo Huo drank the big bowl of wine in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said: "The chief manager, there are fifty-one people who can be military advisors, regular generals, and partial generals. There are more than 20,000 strong brothers, and more than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled. There are more than 9,000 family members. There are more than 2,000 horses, more than 300 cattle, more than 800 sheep, more than 2,000 poultry, and more than 300 earthen cannons. The big households got more than 1,000 taels of gold, more than 230,000 taels of silver, more than 1,400 pieces of porcelain vase calligraphy and paintings, more than 300 horses, more than 100 cattle, more than 1,000 pigs and sheep, more than 6,000 stones of grain, and more than 400 rings. It also broke through three county towns, recruited more than 4,700 people, recruited more than 7,300 soldiers, obtained more than 800 horses, more than 308,000 stones of grain, and more than 64,000 taels of official silver. Originally, he wanted to attack Siwei, but there were 180,000 stone of grain and more than 120,000 taels of official silver, but he had to give up for fear of missing the deadline. However, more than 5,700 recruits were recruited along the way, and more than 400 horses were obtained. Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they all praised Luo Huo's loyalty and righteousness, and they all got up to toast him. Bai Zizong smiled and said, "Brother Luo, the junior brother still said bad things about you in the general manager during the day. If you say that you swallowed me 60,000 taels of silver and didn't come back, but you were reprimanded by the chief steward for a boatload, saying that I was the belly of a gentleman. Come, Brother Luo, my little brother has made amends to you. "Say goodbye, punish yourself with a bowl of wine. Higashino Suo also apologized to Luo Huo. In this way, Luo Huo felt that this group of important ministers and generals in Longqing were all righteous men and gentlemen who were worthy of their lives, and they drank this wine naturally and freely, and they also saluted everyone bowl by bowl. The wine was drunk until the sun came out the next day, but most of the people could not walk. Zhong Lei left Luo Huo alone to talk, and gave an order to send troops to Qiongzhou Mansion.

After walking for a few days, Qin Jinfeng, the forward ship, suddenly came to report to Bai Zizong, saying that there was an unknown warship four or five nautical miles to the right in front of him, and the hull was wide and heavy, and there were seventy or eighty ships. "Seventy or eighty warships?" Bai Zizong was shocked when he heard this, and he forgot for a moment that the anchorage of the unknown warship was the waters of Macao, which Portugal occupied. He hurriedly asked Li Mo to go to the dragon ship to invite the chief manager to come, and set up a tent to meet the enemy by himself. "Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, each of you take 30 clippers to go around the back of the unknown warship; Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, you two each take 40 warships to set up a formation on the right side of the unknown warship; Ben Shuai personally leads 80 warships to meet the enemy head-on. You heard the sound of my cannon and attacked. Zhao Cai, Qin Jinfeng, each of you will lead forty warships to protect the fleet. The rest of the ships are the backup, ready to attack at any time. "The generals received the order, and each returned to the water camp to mobilize the warships and go out of the camp to meet the enemy.

Zhong Lei was talking to Shi Guo on the foredeck, and heard that there was a group of warships blocking the road in front, and there were seventy or eighty ships, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless in surprise, and hurriedly called Dongye Suo to inspect carefully, and he and Shi Guo left the dragon and phoenix ship and followed Li Mo to the ship of the naval commander. When Bai Zizong saw it, he said how to set up the formation. Shi Guo smiled, and first asked Bai Zizong to let the banner soldiers stop Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, and Zhao Chong, and then said: "General Bai, the sea area you are talking about is Macao, the commercial port of Portugal, even if there are more warships, there will be no war." Presumably the Portuguese came with some important ministers, so there was a group of ships to escort them. This is Portugal and warships, Zhong Lei suddenly thought of his Portuguese brother William, and the fifty warships ordered from him. Counting the time again, the delivery date has just passed. Then he patted his head and smiled: "Look at my memory, I am so busy that I forgot the warship I booked with William." Bai Zizong also thought of this. I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh. "I forgot about it, too. Hey, I almost got into a misunderstanding. He hurriedly asked his soldiers to go to the fleet and bring in a merchant ship. With Zhong Lei, Shi Guo went up, only brought the general affairs, and did not bring the sailor escort, so he only pulled the sails on the boat, and came to the Macao Pier from time to time.

The four of them left the ship, and after talking to the Portuguese defenders for a while, the defenders said something to a few Portuguese merchants on the side. The three businessmen looked at Zhong Lei and them a few times with a surprised look. into the castle.

After a while, I saw William and the Governor of Macao come out to greet him, and personally introduced Zhong Lei, Bai Zizong, Shi Guo, and Tongshi into the castle to entertain guests. The two sides sat down to introduce it, and after making out again, they talked about business. William said, "Arch-General, except for fifty of the most advanced Portuguese warships. I also forged for you a main battleship with thirty-two large-caliber guns on two floors. In addition, I will give you twenty more artillery pieces of great offensive power, and you will be happy to see them. Zhong Lei laughed when he heard it: "Don't look at it, just listening to it is enough to like it." William. Our young master now has more than 20 cities, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you will have to do business in the future. The Governor of Macau and William laughed. William said, "Your Excellency the Governor is partial to your ancient porcelain. If you have it, you can exchange it with him. Zhong Lei smiled and said: "Since the Governor of Macao is your friend." Then I'll give him a few pieces of ancient porcelain. If you William likes it, I'll give you one hundred and eighty pieces. My own brother. You don't have to be polite. The Governor of Macau was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and pointed to Zhong Lei and asked William. "He didn't say a joke, did he, would he really send me an ancient porcelain vase?" Seeing William nodding and smiling, he asked Zhong Lei. "Then, what do you want me to exchange with you?" Zhong Lei shook his head and smiled and said: "You are a friend of my brother William, so it would be too much to exchange for goods." In this way, let General Bai go back first and usher my Longqing people here. Then you and William will go up to my dragon ship, and I will open the library door for you two to choose. Take it away after picking it up. William felt that Zhong Lei was very face-saving, so he asked Bai Zizong to go back quickly, and then said to the governor of Macao: "The twenty Griller guns I gave him are to be installed on the dragon ship of His Royal Highness the Prince." You see, the chief manager is so polite, so why don't we help the Longqing people install the artillery?" The Governor of Macao nodded and smiled: "In that case, I will also send him the three thunder cannons that have just been shipped." "There are so many words to talk about, and it has come to dusk in the midst of laughter.

Bai Zizong led the Longqing people to the port of Macao. Zhong Lei was afraid that too many people ashore would disturb the Portuguese, so he ordered the soldiers and his subordinates to stay on the ship, and allowed them to drink for fun, but they were not allowed to get drunk and make trouble. Only officials and their families are allowed to accompany the young master ashore, and also see a different way of living in a foreign country.

Knowing that he is the younger brother of the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor of Longqing is going to come ashore as a guest, and the governor of Macao attaches great importance to it, and is busy with William with the highest etiquette of the Portuguese royal family, so that all the soldiers line up on both sides of the pier, salute with guns, play military music, and salute each other. Merchants, families, and residents of the fort, young and old, were also invited to greet the distinguished guests at the city gate and on both sides of the main street, dancing with colorful scarves.

At this time, Tianxiao has grown up, and naturally he will no longer regard the blue-eyed and yellow-haired foreigner as some kind of monster. Moreover, he had heard a lot of exotic customs and customs in Shiguo, so he asked people to pick two celadon objects before going ashore, which were held by Ji Xiang Ruyi. At this time, he went ashore to meet William and the Governor of Macau, and without waiting to enter the fort, he had asked Ji Xiang Ruyi to bring two celadon objects to these two foreign friends to show friendship. In this way, the Governor of Macao and William felt a little embarrassed, and after welcoming the Longqing people into the castle, they immediately sent people to transport twenty Griller guns and three Thunder guns to the dragon ship for careful installation. Afterwards, large barrels of foreign wine were brought out, Portuguese delicacies were put on the table, and a banquet was held in the governor's palace to entertain distinguished guests.

At the banquet, as the future owner of Longqing, Tianxiao invited the Portuguese royal family to Lianzhou to set up a museum, and was also willing to give Longqing's business to William, and hoped that the Portuguese could go to Longqing as guests. The Governor of Macao and William also invited Tianxiao to Portugal as a guest, and also hoped that the future Longqing Kingdom could exchange currency with Portugal. And promised the sky to bring his invitation to the King of Portugal. If the future Longqing Kingdom needs the help of Portugal, the warships and troops can come from afar across the ocean at any time. Tian Xiao smiled and said that if the Portuguese royal family needs any goods in the future, they will ask for their own Zhong Bo or Lei Long, and they will definitely be satisfied. Then asked: "Mr. William, did you bring the person I want to meet?" The people here in Tianbo Mansion were stunned when they heard this, even Zhong Lei and the others had long forgotten the agreement between the young master and William back then. But he heard William say: "Your Royal Highness the little prince, Dixi is very happy when she knows that you are coming." She's upstairs. She said, you don't go upstairs to invite her, she will never come downstairs to see you. Tianxiao got up and said, "You said it earlier." The figure had gone up the stairs in a flash, and had jumped upstairs a few more times. (To be continued......)
