“…… Boss, we went to Manila, we went to Jakarta, by the way, what Malacca......

Those white-haired ghost women are really white! Hehe, but those big Yanmar are evil, all of them are fierce, it's not interesting, the hair is still very long, monkey-like, and many of them still have fox odor, or our Daming woman, how do you say that, by the way, Ba Shi......

There are also their ships, which are completely different from our Daming ships, and they can't say what's going on for a while, it's just Bian'er, but they run very fast, and many of their ships are equipped with artillery, and they have compared them with the dog master and the red master, and those foreign devils' ships are probably a little more ruthless than the Zheng family's boats......

By the way, Dashuai, you try this, this is a baby Wow, I heard that it was brought from a crying bar in South America, what is it called......"

In the official hall, Ergou's little cousin Zhou Chang, saliva was flying, and he was extremely excited to tell Xu Changqing about what they had seen in Nanyang.

When he went, Zhou Chang was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy child, shy and timid, like a girl, but at this time, this guy was not only as black as an iron egg, but also a tendon meat, looking like a little calf, and he was even bolder, and even showed off to help Xu Changqing order cigars.

Xu Changqing didn't refuse, smiled and let Zhou Chang light his cigar, took a deep breath, and the whole person was suddenly a little relaxed.

It's still that familiar smell.

Cuban cigars have a very long history, especially among them, even in later generations, it is still the same process, from the beginning of picking tobacco leaves, they are pure maidens, to be precise, they must be virgins to make them.

When you taste it, you can not only feel the aroma of tobacco, but also taste the taste of the girl who picks and makes them.

Seeing that Xu Changqing seemed to be very satisfied, Zhou Chang couldn't help but be more happy, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, originally the loyal master, the dog master, and the red master also came to visit you in advance, but we brought a lot of goods on the ship this time, and several masters were afraid that something would happen, so they could only wait until the fleet came over together." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and kicked Zhou Chang's buttocks: "Xiao Zhouzi, you kid is capable, and your mouth is a lot sharper." ”

Zhou Chang saw that Xu Changqing was not angry, but teasing him, busy laughing, but he didn't dare to answer.

"Alright. In front of Lao Tzu, how dare you fucking be sloppy? The road went well, right? ”

Xu Changqing sat back on the throne with a golden knife, took one out of the delicate cigar box, and threw it to Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang hurriedly and carefully caught the cigar, lit it like a treasure, and Xu Changqing's sense of separation was also far away, and he hurriedly smiled: "Dashuai, we took the Zheng family's door before, and it is okay in our Daming territory, but Nanyang is chaotic, there are three sects and nine streams, and everyone has it." Those dog-day pirates, not only whites, natives, but also our Han people, and those Han pirates are blacker than those white-haired monkeys......"

……

Xu Changqing and Zhou Chang chatted for most of the afternoon, and then left this kid for dinner, and chatted for a while, and then kicked him out.

But the more Xu Changqing was like this, the more relaxed Zhou Chang became, kowtowed to Xu Changqing beautifully, and hurried home, thinking about it, being personally entertained by Xu Changqing, and what he had seen and heard in Nanyang in the past few years, it was enough for him to blow cattle for a while.

After sending Zhou Chang away, Xu Changqing's heart was also greatly boosted!

There is no doubt that the world of the future will be the world of the ocean!

So as early as the beginning of the business, Xu Changqing was vigorously planning this, even if he paid a huge price for it, he never wavered.

Even in the recent long period of time, Xu Changqing has made several deductions and prepared for the worst!

If you really can't stop the general trend at that time, then you will go to sea by boat, retreat to southern Liaoning, and if you can't do it, you will retreat to Goryeo until you gain a firm foothold and find a chance again!

However, the return of the fleet at this time not only opened a skylight for Xu Changqing and brought back a lot of powerful news, but also brought a lot of practical equipment and talents to Xu Changqing!

This time, even if he really has to work hard, Xu Changqing's chances of winning will undoubtedly increase a lot.

At this time, the situation in Nanyang did not deviate much from the cognition in Xu Changqing's memory, and the Dutch and Spaniards still occupied the two largest pieces of fat, which were the mainstream.

And the future empire of the sun never sets in this area, and it is only a younger brother.

However, even though the Spaniards and Dutch occupied a lot of fat meat in Nanyang and monopolized many profiteering industries such as spices, they were still a drop in the bucket compared to the degree of development in Nanyang.

Moreover, whether it is a Spaniard or a Dutch, they are all rookies!

The countless historical experiences of later generations have proved that the mainstream ethnic groups of these two countries are basically insulated from the fighting.

In the Anglo-Spanish War, the Spanish lobster soldiers were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, not to mention, just the Netherlands, the land of projectiles, it was a joke.

Even if Xu Changqing can't challenge the foundation of the Invincible Armada and the sea coachman at this time, Xu Changqing believes that in ten or twenty years, as long as this strategy can be maintained, the strong Han nation will teach them to be human sooner or later!

Not to mention anything else, in fact, the strength of the pirates alone can already prove it.

At this time in the South Seas, the most ruthless pirates were not those white people who were down-and-out, but Han people who had no way out!

And that's when they don't have much support!

If they had strong support, what would it be?

As long as the Han nation is given a platform, the Han nation will definitely not be worse than anyone else, it will only be better!

Then again.

At this time, although Nanyang was dominated by the younger brother of the two younger brothers, it was not entirely a bad thing.

After all, these two younger brothers are the vanguard of colonialism, and they are the younger brothers with the earliest layout and the largest number of colonies in the world, and they also connect Europe, America, Africa, including Nanyang, and even the Ming Dynasty.

The profits of maritime trade alone can make future generations jaw-dropping.

It's all a blue ocean!

For example, the box of high-quality cigars that Zhou Chang gave to Xu Changqing was ten in total, and it cost twenty taels of silver in Nanyang, but in Daming, it was never too much to sell for one hundred taels.

As for the ordinary, it is nothing more than the difference between tobacco leaves and girls and aunts, and if you hype it up, the purchase price is only a few dollars of silver, and it is only pediatrics if you sell it for four or five taels.

Once the industrial chain on Haicheng's side forms a scale, Xu Changqing has strong confidence that it will be easy to form anti-dumping against Nanyang and even Europe.

To put it bluntly, at this time, the West was ahead of the Ming Dynasty, except for cigars, which were 'native products' that the Ming Dynasty could not do, as well as some of the nautical experience that took the lead in exploring the world, including the watchmakers in Europe who have always maintained the spirit of ingenuity, and everything else was steadily suppressed by the Ming Dynasty!

But in the final analysis, there is still no one to guide the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to these aspects, as long as there is enough guidance, the future watchmakers of the Ming Dynasty will definitely only be better than the old hats in Europe!

……

This night, Xu Changqing, who has always been as deep as an abyss, had rare insomnia.

Moreover, Xu Changqing did not go to any of the rooms of his wife and concubine to rest, but stayed in the inner study all night.

But the next morning, Xu Changqing got up early in the morning and began his routine exercises.

But Xu Changqing hadn't run a few laps just now, and there was good news coming over.

It really comes in pairs!

The main force of the fleet was in a tailwind at this time, and the speed was much faster than expected, and it would be possible to reach Haicheng at noon today.

Moreover, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Hong, and Ergou also sent someone to Xu Changqing in advance to send a list of the harvest.

In this campaign, they not only purchased all kinds of spices and goods from Nanyang, but also bought hundreds of ships of all kinds, and enveloped nearly 300 down-and-out whites from various countries, including various craftsmen. Ninety people, more than 200 officers at all levels!

There are even several financial experts and down-and-out writers.

After reading the list, Xu Changqing suppressed his mind and followed the soldiers through the routine drills, that is, he quickly summoned the bigwigs of the Political Affairs Office and immediately prepared to welcome the arrival of the fleet.

In terms of the Political Affairs Bureau, Li Yan, Li Hongyun, and Yang Zhongliang got the news last night and have been prepared for a long time.

At this time, both the Political Affairs Department and the Model Army are already very experienced in this kind of big scene, and there is no need for Xu Changqing to worry about it at all.

After finishing these important tasks, Xu Changqing did not accompany his wife and children to breakfast, but came to the winery.

Not surprisingly, Fan Yongdou had already come over and personally stared over here.

As soon as he saw that Xu Changqing still remembered his affairs in his busy schedule, this old guy had to smile on his old face: "Uncle, I said this early in the morning, why is this flower magpie endless, Uncle Feelings, you want to come over." ”

Xu Changqing smiled and threw Fan Yongdou a cigar: "Old Fan, try this." ”

"This, is this a cigar from the South Seas?"

Fan Yongdou's old eyes suddenly lit up, and he was busy taking a closer look.

With his eyesight, he could quickly see that the cigar Xu Changqing gave him was much better than what he had obtained through other channels before.

Xu Changqing didn't say much, and handed Fan Yongdou a small pair of scissors with a smile.

Fan Yongdou hurriedly put the cigar in his mouth, carefully cut the small scissors a few times, and then lit it beautifully.

Looking at Fan Yongdou's skillful appearance, Xu Changqing also felt a little emotion in his heart.

The gap between people is really too big.

Even though Fan Yongdou is treacherous and slippery, the resources he masters, his understanding of the world, and his contact with new things are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

The two swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog for a moment, and Fan Yongdou couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Xu Changqing: "Uncle, this, this is the best of the best!" I'm really convinced, and you, uncle, can get this kind of good thing from those white-haired ghosts. ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "Old Fan, how is the situation on the winery's side, are you still satisfied?" ”

Fan Yongdou hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle, satisfied, very satisfied." This time, the old decay can almost evenly spread about a thousand jars, which is enough. ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xu Changqing was about to say goodbye, when a personal soldier 'suddenly' hurried over to report: "Marshal, the fleet is only about 20 miles away from Haicheng, and it will soon arrive at the dock." ”

"Fleet?"

"What fleet?"

Fan Yongdou was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses.

Xu Changqing smiled: "A few years ago, Ben Bo sent a fleet to the sea to buy some things in Nanyang, if Fan Ye is interested, why don't you go to the dock together?" ”

Fan Yongdou's old eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Uncle love, that's the honor of old decay!" ”

However, Fan Yongdou originally thought that the fleet Xu Changqing said was just a small-scale caravan that went to Nanyang to buy some rare things.

But when he came to the dock, after waiting for a while, he saw countless bright Daming Dragon Flags and Sun, Moon and Wave Flags, almost covering the entire sky and sea, Fan Yongdou realized what kind of scale the fleet Xu Changqing was talking about......

Originally, Fan Yongdou thought that what he had done over the years could be regarded as a big deal.

But at this time, compared with Xu Changqing's huge fleet of at least more than 200 large and small ships, his little belongings are like playing at home......
