The giant ship began to return home.

Emperor Hongzhi was full of emotion.

Standing on this huge ship, there is really a little bit of the feeling that the whole world is not the king's land.

Zhu Houzhao held on to the side of the boat, looked down at the floating corpses in the sea, and occasionally some people, exhausted, called for help.

"Old Fang, really don't you want to catch a few people?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Highness, there is no need. ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled instead: "Old Fang, you have changed, you have become decisive in killing, you are worthy of being a brother of this palace, you need a man to do things." ”

Fang Jifan thought about it for a while and said, "It's not that the killing is decisive, but because of ...... They know too much. ”

Aware............ Too much......

Fang Jifan said: "These four ships were annihilated, once they were captured and brought back to land, what if one of them passed the news?" At that time, the Spaniards will know that we have such a huge ship, and they will definitely take precautions. ”

"The invincible armada, is my Ming henchmen, sooner or later, we will fight to the death with them, therefore, the news of this huge ship, for the time being, the Spaniards, the only thing they know, is only the destruction of his four ships, but I don't know, how to destroy, when our Eastern Undefeated Fleet is formed, there are seven or eight, at that time, it is the time to find the invincible armada, and when the decisive battle with them, in order to ensure the news of the giant ship, so as not to leak these Francois people, none of them want to live."

Zhu Houzhao held his chin and nodded: "It's very reasonable, the old man is really cunning." He said faintly: "I thought you were avenging your father." ”

Fang Jifan pulled his face: "My father won't die!" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, but he didn't dare to say anything, and nodded obediently: "Yes, yes." ”

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi was relaxed and happy, and on the way back, he felt that the evil spirit in his heart was finally out.

He summoned Zhu Houzhao, but he did not summon Fang Jifan.

looked at Zhu Houzhao, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others.

Emperor Hongzhi Fu case: "This steamship is made by my son, but in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the strong support of the successor domain." The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, when they heard that they were going to build a steam ship, heard that they were going to build ten million taels of silver, all of them were as earth-colored, but they didn't know that this cost money and did a big thing. ”

The officials had nothing to say, and obediently listened to His Majesty's reprimand.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Today, the dregs of the world, Wang Bushi, has made a great contribution, sinking four enemy ships and killing thousands of enemies, which is a great victory. But ......"

He paused: "I haven't slept well all night, thinking in my heart, the prince and Ji Fan have done their best to make a great contribution to my Ming Dynasty, behind this great credit, is their hard work, I have such a huge ship, why worry about the uneven sea?" It's a pity...... Lu Guogong, but he died in battle because of this, he was so loyal, it really made me feel pity. But it also made the successor lose his father. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were gloomy, and he opened his eyes suddenly: "Now, these thousands of Francophone people, as well as these four ships, should be right, and comfort the spirit of Lu Guogong in the sky." I think about it, this is a big deal, Lu Guogong ......"

"No!" When Emperor Hongzhi said this, he shook his head: "It should be the ...... of the king of Xinjin County."

King of Xinjin County......

The officials are awe-inspiring.

The posthumous title of the king of the county is already a certainty, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites have issued an edict to announce it to the world.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "If the king of Xinjin County has a spirit in the sky, he must be gratified of it." I was thinking that after returning to Beijing, I should personally sacrifice to the king of Xinjin County, so as to comfort the king of Xinjin County and the loyal souls of Xinjin who died in battle. ”

The officials sighed one after another, and no one raised any objections.

The king of Xinjin County, who died unjustly, if it was a day earlier, Daming had such a huge ship, how could he be afraid of the Francosian.

The dignified country, flying thousands of miles, guarding the most distant frontier for the Ming Dynasty, can be described as overcoming thorns and thorns, born and dying, and now, finally lost thousands of miles away, His Majesty went to pay tribute, which is also very reasonable.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "After returning to Beijing, I will make another decree, set up an undefeated naval division in the East, and make Tang Yin the chief officer of the naval division, supervise the construction of steam ships, recruit and train sailors, and formulate the methods of naval warfare of steam ships. ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked around: "Zhuqing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation: "Father, son-in-law seconded the proposal." ”

Hundreds of officials said one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Prepare the edict, after landing on the shore, the edict will be spread to the world." ”

"As for Fang Jifan...... Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao deeply: "The prince is looking at him these days, don't let him think about it." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "He thinks very openly, my father ...... it."

Emperor Hongji glared at him.

Zhu Houzhao shuddered: "Erchen knows." ”

…………

After more than a month of recuperation.

Fang Jinglong's injuries have healed a lot, and countless scars have been added to his body.

At this time, Xinjin had begun to rebuild, and a large number of reinforcements from various strongholds had also arrived.

Fang Jinglong had seen the generals and worked hard, wanting to recover his body earlier.

The Francois finally fought without declaring the war, the safety of these hundreds of thousands of immigrants, their lives are hanging by a thread, they are guarding, if they can't see things, once they encounter the large-scale attack of the Francos, the Golden Continent, it will be dangerous.

In order to show that he had recovered, he wore heavy armor, pressed his sword, and went to observe the militia drills without any support.

After a day's training, the whole person is tired.

Xu Jing personally supported Fang Jinglong, and returned to the town guard, Fang Jinglong let someone take off his armor, and smiled bitterly: "Old, old, I think that at the beginning, the old man wore this thing, it was a day and a night, and he was tireless, and now, it is not enough." ”

Xu Jingqian smiled: "Master is old and strong, but now, the old injury has not gone, think about it, if you can recuperate with peace of mind, you can recover as before." ”

Fang Jinglong smiled: "These words are just self-deception, but the old man also admits your auspicious words, these days, the old man is seriously injured, but it is a loss to you to saddle the horse and work hard." ”

"Don't dare, it is a blessing for students to be able to serve the teacher, and the teacher treats the students like a mountain, and the students can share the worries of the teacher."

Fang Jinglong sighed at this moment: "The old man is very worried now, Xinjin was attacked by the Francois and suffered heavy losses, the old man ...... It can be said that it is an unshirkable responsibility, I am afraid, I am afraid, the court is going to be condemned, the old man has lived enough in this life, he has suffered, and he has enjoyed wealth, what he is worried about is that if it affects Fang Jifan, that is, your teacher, then ...... Hey......"

After hearing this, Xu Jing also frowned, but still comforted Fang Jinglong and said: "Master, please rest assured, Your Majesty has always trusted your teacher, and you also have a lot of faith in your master...... Your Majesty will not blame you. ”

Fang Jinglong nodded, but he still frowned, this place is too far away from the Jingshi, who would have thought what the situation in the capital would be, his own son was too reckless, if he offended someone, someone said something bad in front of His Majesty, it would be impossible to say.

Fang Jinglong said: "Old man, the only thing I am worried about is this son, although this son is smarter than the old man and has more talent than the old man, but this heart is ...... Always ......"

Xu Jing said: "Come to me, soon, there will be news from the imperial court, please wait a while." ”

"Okay." Fang Jing solemnly nodded.

…………

When the holy driver returned to Beijing, there was already an uproar in Beijing.

His Majesty personally patrolled the sea and annihilated all the Franc aircraft and ships, and suddenly, the Beijing division was shaken.

People kept talking to each other, at first, because it was just gossip, but many people said it, and it was difficult to believe it or not.

After that, Tang Yin was ordered to enter the palace, and Emperor Hongzhi personally summoned him and asked about some things about creating a water master, and Tang Yin answered like a stream, and Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied with this.

Tang Yin has experience in establishing a sailor before, not to mention, he is also a protégé of Fang Jifan, he pursues new learning, and he is practical and reliable, and it is appropriate to hand over this future fleet to him.

So he personally gave Tang Yin the order, Tang Yin took the holy order out of the palace and returned to Xishan, he originally wanted to see the master and listen to the master's views on the invincible fleet in the East.

At this time, he saw that the British public was already in the church.

The British Duke Zhang Mao came in person, patted Fang Jifan's shoulder, stopped talking, and finally smiled bitterly: "Jifan, it's not a big deal, we old things, if we can wrap ourselves in horse leather, it will not be a good destination, your father is the old man's brother, he went first, there is nothing bad ......about it."

Fang Jifan said mutually: "My father is not dead yet." ”

Zhang Mao said angrily: "How can you call death, you can't call death, it's a person with a head and a face, and he has already been posthumously crowned the king of the county, it should be called 'Xue', there must be rules, you are grown up now, and in the future, you will be the head of the Fang family, and you can no longer be willful." ”

Fang Jifan said: "My father didn't have a 'sting'. ”

Zhang Mao said: "The holy decree has come down, can there be a mistake?" The old man yesterday, has seen the drive, His Majesty's meaning is very clear, Xinjin County Wang Xu's vigorous, martyrdom, is really a model for the ages, this time, His Majesty wants to lead a hundred officials, personally sacrificed, this sacrificial ceremony, the old man to preside, the old man presided over a lifetime of sacrifice, this time, but there is no complaint, you must let your father, the scenery is beautiful, beautiful and bright, just be the old man...... Give him a ride. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao sighed and sighed.

Maybe it's because he's old, although he squeezes out a smile on his face, his cloudy eyes can't help but moisten.
