Chapter 1160: Sea Trial

Xu Jing looked at Fang Jinglong worriedly and nodded quickly: "Master, please rest well. Leave the matter here to the students. Xinjin has strengthened his guard and has no worries. The teacher's grandmother, the old lady, is also coming with a local soldier."

Fang Jinglong nodded and smiled bitterly: "Hey, he is still alive. It is said that the general died in a hundred battles. I am lucky and can't die no matter how much. But... I wasted another poem, which is a bit regretful."

Xu Jing: “…”

The way of playing these heroes often opens Xu Jing's eyes.

He bowed his hand and saw that Master Gongping and Ping An was relieved, so he cheered up and hurried out of the silkworm room. Unpredictable, he saw someone limping out. This man... looked familiar.

The patient limped and looked up and saw Xu Jing. He hurriedly saluted: "I have met Uncle Master."

"Who are you……"

"Student Liu Jie." Liu Jie was still alive, benefiting from the rapid response of Xishan Medical College, many people were brought back from the brink of death, and Xu Jing was one of them.

In fact, it is difficult to kill people immediately as long as it does not really hurt the key points. The weapons of this era are not very clever. It is precisely the knife wound and gunfire damage that cannot be quickly removed and disinfected and sutured in time, because once the wound becomes suppurated, it causes inflammation, and with the poor medical conditions of this era, it is almost equivalent to death.

On the contrary, in later generations, the medical level has improved. As a result, the power of the weapon has increased by geometrically. A shell is enough to tear people directly into pieces. If you are more advanced, you will be given a precise guidance to ensure that your body will not exist and even save the coffin.

Liu Jie was depressed, and after seeing Xu Jing, his face regained some blood.

"Oh." Xu Jing had met Liu Jie. Just because Liu Jie was exposed to the wind and sun these days, and was injured, his face had changed drastically. He felt strange. Xu Jing said, "Where are you going?"

"Some of the senior brothers are preparing to be buried, and the students want to go and have a look."

Xu Jing fell into silence.

Life and death... He saw too much, and he sighed: "Go, come, prepare a crutch for him, don't stop him."

"Thank you, uncle." Liu Jie nodded. He limped forward two steps, suddenly stopped and looked back: "Uncle Master."

"Um?"

Xu Jing looked at him and admired Liu Jie very much. He gave up his official position, gave up his glory and wealth that should have belonged to, and came to the New World. Of course, there were too many people like him in the New World.

"Uncle Master, I don't know when I can take revenge."

Xu Jing had a stern face: "This is something that the prince can decide."

Liu Jie nodded: "Yes."

Xu Jing sighed in his heart, those Franciscans have completely annoyed people, so why are they doing this?

Emperor Hongzhi has already taken the lead.

With the carriage, it was much easier to enter and exit. The vast team set off directly, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan accompanied him, and the ministers followed him.

Tens of millions of taels of silver.

Every time I think of this amount, everyone really wants to go to Tianjin Wei to see what the difference is the tens of millions of taels of silver piled up in the sea.

Everyone came to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin guards came to welcome the emperor.

Because the sea test was held two days later, Emperor Hongzhi was not in a hurry and went straight to the stairs and did not summon too many officials.

At this time, more than two months have passed, and the early winter of the Ming Dynasty has entered. Emperor Hongzhi is wearing clothes and is still in this industry, and he still needs to review the memorials.

But they didn't know that more than three months ago, a carrier pigeon had arrived on the east coast of Golden Island. Then, the fast ships of Golden Island set off quickly and followed the ocean currents and headed west.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the memorial, but cheered up. He pushed the glasses on his nose and then slowly said: "Summoning the Minister of War Ma Wensheng."

Ma Wensheng was the minister who followed the army and came to see him in a hurry.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the memorial and said, "Ma Qing's family, the Spanish ship of this Franc, has been staying in Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse. I don't want to see them and want to send them away, but they are reluctant to leave. This time... they are willing to leave."

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing?"

"Okay?" Emperor Hongzhi sneered coldly, "What's the good thing? This is the Ningbo Navy's report, saying that they found these ships on the ocean, but found that they had actually come north, and their intentions are still unknown."

Ma Wensheng was stunned: "Why did the Ningbo Navy not intercept it?"

Emperor Hongzhi knocked his hand and said, "The problem is here. These Franchise ships are extremely fast. The navy's blessing ships are beyond the reach and are thrown away by them. I have long expected that there must be no good things for these Franchise people to come here. Eight out of ten of them have different intentions. You are the Minister of War. You must strictly order the Japanese guards in every place to track the traces of these ships. You must not let them make a rash in our Ming Dynasty."

Ma Wensheng bowed: "Your Majesty, the ships of our Ming Dynasty are indeed different from the Franchise. Our Ming Dynasty has a huge population and countless subjects. With an imperial edict, 100,000 people went to sea. The ships covered the clouds and the sun were vast. Therefore, so many people need to eat and drink and transport war horses, horse materials, and medicines. Therefore, the bigger the ships, the better. The blessing ships I have recently supervised are all the blessing ships that followed the eunuchs of the Three Treasures. They are huge in size and have an amazing load. Each ship can transport more than a thousand people. However, the Franchise people have a small population, but their ships are just asking for speed.

Flexible during combat, although the Ming Dynasty also recruited many prisoners of Franchise aircraft and had built some Franchise aircraft, but I heard that Franchise aircraft are good at naval warfare, and the navy of various countries is evenly matched. In order to constantly surpass their opponents, they will improve ships every few years. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty, since the Song Dynasty, there have been almost no strong enemies around. Just Japanese pirates are just a group of ronin warriors carrying sampans to loot. It is not worth mentioning. Therefore, opposing naval warfare against ships does not pay attention to these issues. Ambassador Xu also mentioned these issues when he returned to the voyage, but..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded to express his understanding.

The Ming Dynasty ships were so big that it was understandable. The Ming Dynasty had never encountered evenly matched opponents at sea. Instead, the ships were huge enough and loaded with enough materials and personnel. Instead, they had great benefits for their exploration of the Golden Continent. He had read the report from Xu Jing that the Spaniards had previously fought for maritime hegemony with Portugal, and fought with the Ottoman navy in a place that is said to be the Mediterranean. At the same time, they also had military frictions with France and other countries.

This state of fighting every one a year and fighting every three years is a condition that the Ming Dynasty, a central country that is unique to the world, does not have. Because of this, every naval battle can give them rich experience, and the improvement of ships has been continuously deepened through countless practical battles.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Send me to be on guard."

"Yes." Ma Wensheng nodded and he retreated.

All the ministers who accompanied him were staying outside, because there were too many ministers, so they had to squeeze together. It was harder to work hard, but there was no way.

Although Ma Wensheng was the Minister of War, he was just a small room in this big mansion. When he returned to his residence, he saw that the hall was very lively. He was all the ministers who were with him. He was waiting for His Majesty to summon him at any time. Ma Wensheng liked to join in the fun and went in.

Who knew that as soon as I entered, the place was already in full swing.

But someone scolded, "Is that the person surnamed Fang still a human? We came with him. He actually set up a viewing table and a seat on the pier, saying that because there were too many people, the pier was not enough. Except for His Majesty, the rest of the people had to buy tickets to enter. A ticket cost twenty taels of silver. How could he think of this kind of thing that was eaten by a dog?

An old minister burst into tears: "I am seventy and eighty years old. I heard that this ceremony was just a few hours. If I don't have a seat, I have to stand there, not even a bowl of tea. How can I eat it after these few hours? He was blinded by the dog's lard and his eyes were all drawn into the money."

"Can it be a rumor? I see that they don't even want to plunder this little money. If His Majesty knew, would he be so indulging him?"

"Bah! You are in the account of the West Mountain. His Majesty has occupied 30% of the shares, and His Royal Highness has accounted for 30% of the shares. You can tell me who took this big head."

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

It seems... they scolded people they shouldn't be scolded.

After being silent, Liang Chuqi said with a silence: "After all, the bad one is Fang Jifan's rat shit..."

"Yes, it's him who is bad." Censor Liu Ying said angrily: "This dog is ignorant. I also heard that he is very licentious. He has been related to a woman who is unclear since he was a child. He is the prince-in-law and I heard that he has raised a young man."

"Is that true? Sure enough, this dog has everything to eat, drink, gamble."

Liang Chuzheng cursed happily. When he heard this, his face suddenly turned red, his heart felt like he had been cut by a knife, he suddenly stroked his beard and coughed: "You can't say that, this is groundless matter. I say a fair word. Although Fang Jifan loves money, he has never heard of good women. You can eat things randomly, and you can't say things randomly."

Everyone looked at Liang Chu.

Unexpectedly, Liang Chu, who usually scolded Fang Jifan, suddenly became a different person.

Liang Chu blushed: "Are the princess watching him? Do he dare to do this dog? This is too serious. Please be careful when you speak and don't blame the good people."

Seeing that the more everyone was disbelieving, the more cold they felt, and tried hard to defend themselves.

Fang Jifan cannot have a bad reputation for being lustful, so his daughter's reputation will be completely ruined. Think about it, if Fang Jifan is a lustful person, his daughter will even go to Xishan Academy to study. In the eyes of others, what should her daughter be regarded as?
