In the western warm pavilion of Daming Palace, Emperor Hongde had not been to the Qinzheng Hall for several days. Eunuch Zhao Kang and Ge Xuanli were accompanying him, and Jia Cong also came in to give lectures to His Majesty.

"By the way, Flang (Portugal) is just a small country on the Iberian Peninsula, but they dominate the places that are tens of thousands of miles overseas... By the way, Prince Henry worked tirelessly, took missionaries, installed cannons and replenished supplies, went out several times to sea, and actually crossed the route of thousands of miles in West Africa..."

Jia Cong kept talking: "Your Majesty, there are dense jungles, countries and peoples we don't know, and gold."

Not to mention Ling Jue, even Ge Xuanli and Zhao Kang were fascinated by the fact that expanding territory was a great achievement for any dynasty!

As for why Jia Cong knew this, everything was pushed to the missionary and what he saw and heard from outside his missionary.

"I have also seen a kind of Folang Ji cannon in history books. It is said that it is made of things from Folang Ji people, so it is named after it. Mr. Gong is loyal to the country, so why not be my Prince Henry, right?" Ling Jue slapped the table and said eagerly.

This emperor is not stupid. He just talks about military power in the inner court, military affairs, and Taipu Temple. Now, Ling Jue has changed his eunuchs in his mansion.

Ge Xuanli and Zhao Kang were very anxious. Why didn’t the emperor let them go?

"No, no, no, my master, this task is too heavy, I can't afford it." Jia Cong shook his head like a rattle, resolutely refused to obey, and pondered: "I think it's better to leave it to Ge, and the two father-in-law Zhao!"

Ge Xuanli and Zhao Kang were happy and couldn't help but have a great increase in favor of Jia Cong.

"Sir, why is this? I think that Mr., the first inspection of the three provinces, and the means are thunderous..."

"I was about to talk about this, but at that time I was hindering everywhere. Someone made a mistake and impeached the Wei minister..." Jia Cong was embarrassed and said depressed: "Besides, I want to deal with the Thais, it is nothing more than learning from the barbarians' skills to control the barbarians. According to the report of Hong Jing, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the Netherlands still has two large warships in Penghu."

"Secondly, what the Thais are best at is to divide others. They do this in India, Luzon (Philippines), and Manraga (Malacca). I think they will do this in Ryukyu."

"Without firearms, warships, manpower, and restraints, the weak ministers have no chance of winning."

After being discouraged, Ling Jue's eyes lit up: "I give you all these, and I will not pay attention to those impeachment memorials. Once the sir and my king and his ministers work together, any crusader will definitely be able to go down in one go!"

"The emperor is wise!" Jia Cong reluctantly agreed and took the opportunity to ask for the conditions: "However, I asked the emperor to make detailed discussions that there are many immigrants in Ryukyu. Because my Dashun is in a prosperous year, many soldiers will inevitably be unable to fight. It is suitable to attract pirates and criminals in the coastal areas. As long as it is not a crime of death... Because of experience, you can choose to be the right man and make meritorious service."

"Okay, I'll report."

Although the current political situation is not completely stable, many people from the Two Kings factions are secretly worried and ready to move, but King Yu has been firmly in his position, and the military power of the imperial palace and the Beijing camp is firmly held.

Just as they said that Prince Henry went to sea, Prince Henry spent too much financial resources from Portugal, which caused many people to complain and dissatisfaction.

However, later Prince Henry brought back gold, slaves, etc., and many people across the country were enjoyed, so no one said Prince Henry.

In the final analysis, it is just two words: profit.

Once they have common interests, they will shut up.

What Jia Cong wants to take now is this path.

First, it is beneficial to the country.

Secondly, if you go overseas, you can avoid the consequences caused by the great power of the master. The Indian deputy king and the Philippine Legaspi will not be liquidated by the king. This is the reason.

You should know that the kings of Portugal and Spain are not fools. Neither Joao nor Philip or the Queen, they did not agree to the people who set up routes to practice slavery.

Is it because they are kind-hearted?

That's a big mistake. It's absolutely impossible. How many people who can become the supreme ruler have kind hearts?

Because the kings who had experienced the liberation movement understood the horror of feudal lords, they were afraid, and they were worried that the practice of slavery overseas would lead to the feudal lords in the Middle Ages and shake their rule.

However, they also need people to take charge, allowing more people to pay dividends and consider the long-term.

Jia Cong thought that if he had reached that time and had careful arrangements, both Yuguo and Yu family would have good consequences.

The emperor was still worried about the wedding. The newly-designed queen was a descendant of Wang, the Wang family of Dongping. Poor Emperor Hongde had never seen it with his own eyes, but he could not refuse it, because the descendants of King Dongping were still guarding Liaodong.

For this reason, Ling Jue could only look at Jia Cong with pitiful eyes. Jia Cong had no choice but to promise that His Majesty would hold a fresh Western wedding tomorrow. Ling Jue was very excited when he heard it, after all, he was still a young man.

The emperor went to rest, and the eunuch left to discuss with him, and Jia Cong asked about the Qin King's return to Beijing.

Ge Xuanli didn't care: "The seal of the army dispatch has been taken back long ago."

The two eunuchs could only helplessly, after all, Jia Cong had just asked for love for them.

Jia Cong had to let go of his worries. One thing he was worried about was that he was assassinated in Yangzhou and could not find the murderer behind the scenes. He would not let him go easily.

For this reason, he had to strengthen his equipment and return to Renhua Palace to work. He vigorously opened firearms and opened the Maritime Warehouse Department in Guangdong, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. He approved all the matters of opening the Maritime War Department and waiting for the preparation and the battle in the southeast.

The firearms left over from the Ming Dynasty are very advanced. According to this momentum, they will never fall behind the West.

He discussed some things in the cabinet with Wang Yingyuan, Liu Dongsheng, Bi Zhong and others, and consolidated his alliance. Most of the people in the Sili Supervisory Bureau also had an ambiguous relationship with him. Jia Cong was a little relieved and went to the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Works and the Military Equipment Bureau to ask for firearms.

The lobby of the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Works is next to the Baoyuan Bureau, and the workshop is located in the east of the city.

"This kind of bird gun is still a clamping gun... but it's fine if you don't explode the chamber." Jia Cong played with the bird gun. This bird gun was a dragon-shaped bend support, with a sightseeing star in front and a gate behind. The slender barrel was actually a clamping gun, which was called a bird gun in China.

He also told Shanziye how to make a flintlock rifle, and then asked each servant to bring one, pair it with gunpowder, and go back to practice.

Now Sun Fudu and Ying'er are married, and they are more mature and stable.

After deciding with the emperor to go to Ryukyu, Jia Cong had to train a new group of personnel, so that he could temporarily withdraw from the political whirlpool of the capital.

If you have military power as a backing and are far away from overseas, your position will not only rise but also be more stable.

Of course, there are many more difficulties that need to be overcome.

With this lofty ideal in mind, they have walked out of Chaoyang Gate and are relaxing.

The sun is shining in the west, and the sunset is hanging in the west. The glass archway in front of the Dongyue Temple is like a dream, and the pilgrims and people are passing by.

Suddenly, Jia Cong saw a noble lady with black hair tied up and elegantly entered the mountain gate. It was clearly Li Wan.
