Moleno strode into the main hall of the Ying Tianfu Ya, nodded reluctantly, and then pointed to the sky and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the Auxiliary Governor, on behalf of the Philippine Governor's Office and the Governor of the Governor's Office, I would like to lodge the most serious protest with you!" I hope you can explain your actions of provoking war between Manila and the big guys! ”
Zhu Linmiao touched her nose "innocently" and looked at him with wide eyes, "What war?" I don't understand what you're talking about at all. ”
"It's clear!" Moleno said angrily, "Ten days ago, Major Alamo's fleet was wandering in the waters off the coast of Dongfan according to our agreement, but unexpectedly, the fleet of Helan suddenly rushed up to fight. In order to avoid a conflict, the major led his team to retreat south, but the angry Helan people chased after him until he was less than eighty nautical miles away from the Philippines! They are still parked north of the Philippines now!
"Our people in Dayuan sent back information that a 'Eziba Youya' warship suddenly shelled the Helan people that day, and later tried to loot the Helan merchant ships, and the Dayuan Council almost declared war on Manila because of this!"
He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his anger, "Governor Chaco has asked people to carefully check, and that ship is definitely not ours!" And in the current situation, apart from the Ming Kingdom, who else will pretend to be a Manila warship to provoke the Helan people?! You must be trying to start a conflict between us and the Helans! ”
Zhu Linmiao "suddenly realized" that "you mean this." ”
He turned to the side first, "Still not serving tea?" Only then did he turn around and continue, "As you know, the coast of Daming has been threatened by Helan warships for a long time, so we do often send reconnaissance ships close to Dongfan to investigate intelligence.
"A few days ago, there was a light gunboat of the Ming Dynasty that lost its course near Penghu, and then encountered a Helan warship that might be patrolling. The ship immediately approached and opened fire on our reconnaissance ship, and our ship had to fight back a few times, and then immediately withdrew to Fukyo.
"As for the robbery of the merchant ships of the Helan people, the merchant ships in the Dongfan area are intensive, and the pirates are all staring here, and there are no less than twenty pirate gangs that I know of. For example, the leader of the gang of 'Good Men Lemante' is an Ezebazia. I guess they did it. ”
Moleno was stunned and stared hard at Zhu Linmiao's eyes, as if he wanted to see if what he said was true. After a long moment, his tone softened slightly, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
"Factually, of course. Ah, drink tea, Tieguanyin just arrived in Fujing yesterday. ”
Moleno asked a few more questions, but he didn't see any flaws, in fact, there were people within the Manila authorities who thought that it might not be Mingguo's doing.
He had no choice but to solemnly say: "Your Royal Highness, I must remind you that Manila will never be involved in the conflict between the Ming Kingdom and the Helan people!" If necessary, the Governor will not hesitate to make peace with the Governor. ”
"I'm well aware of where you stand." Zhu Linmiao responded, looked outside the house and said, "It's almost lunchtime, the envoy has come thousands of miles to Yingtianfu, I will invite you to have a meal." By the way, Yuejiang Pavilion's Sixi Pills are good, let's go, let's go here. ”
Moleno was a little surprised when he heard this, if it was a diplomatic entertainment, wouldn't it be more appropriate to hold a banquet in the Ying Tianfu Palace? However, since the auxiliary king had already opened his mouth, he was inconvenient to excuse himself, so he followed the guards into the carriage outside the palace, and the group drove towards the northeast of Nanjing.
When the carriage and horses reached a wide street, Zhu Linmiao knocked on the carriage and told the coachman, "Go slowly." Then he pointed to an extremely imposing building outside the car window, and said to Moleno, "The envoy has rarely come to Nanjing, do you know what this place does?" ”
Moreno glanced at the "mansion" that could not be seen, and sighed: "Such a luxurious building must be the residence of a court official. Could it be His Royal Highness's palace......"
Zhu Linmiao smiled and shook her head, "This is Nanjing Gezhi University, which is your 'Universidad', the university. There are 17 courses in astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, arithmetic, geometry, and casting. ”
Moleno was obviously a little surprised, he had often heard that Ming Guo did not attach much importance to the natural sciences, but the scale of the university in front of him was not much smaller than that of the University of Salamanca, and he had never heard of the "chemistry" course that the auxiliary prince had just mentioned.
In fact, Nanjing Gezhi University has only started recruiting students for a short time, and eighty percent of the school buildings are empty, which is still a big gap compared to European universities for hundreds of years. However, in terms of the level of science and technology of the university, it has left its European counterparts behind.
After turning to the north side of the school, Moleno was still reminiscing about the luxurious school building, when he heard Zhu Linmiao say again: "The smaller one over there is the Nanjing Mengxue School, which is still run by my fiancée." ”
"Mengxue Academy?"
"Oh, it's a school for children." Zhu Linmiao explained to him, "In the future, all children under the age of 10 in the vicinity of Nanjing will be able to learn here for four months for free, mainly to read and write." For the children with better talents, the imperial court will also subsidize their living expenses and continue their studies here. ”
"All the children? Gratis?! Moleno's eyes widened, Ming Guo had invested so much in national education!
It is conceivable that if this trend continues, it will not be long before the technical talents of the Ming Kingdom will be full of them. Such a huge empire, rich in resources and rich in economy, if it were to take the lead in technology, what a terrifying strength it would have!
"By the way, this doesn't include education in special professions." Zhu Linmiao continued, "For example, in the fields of military and shipbuilding, there are their own specialized schools...... Eh, we're here," he interrupted Moleno's shock, "Yuejiang Pavilion, where you can see the Yangtze River in a magnificent way." ”
This time it was a banquet for foreign envoys, so Yuejiang Pavilion had been completely covered.
Moleno followed Zhu Linmiao to the third floor and sat by the window, where a few things had already been ordered and put on the table.
This time, without waiting for Zhu Linmiao's "guidance", he turned his head and found a huge building complex stretching for more than ten miles by the river, and soon saw several flat open spaces with towering wooden frames and crowded people.
"Slipway?" He immediately thought of the purpose of these things, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Linmiao and said, "This is a shipyard?" ”
The latter smiled, "That's right, Longjiang Shipyard." ”
"Such a big shipyard?!"
Zhu Linmiao said casually: "At present, there are a total of four slipways, which can be made from patrol boats to 12 guns to 34 guns. ”
"Sixi Pills are here, try them." As he spoke, he pointed to the two open spaces under construction to the south, "The slipway over there will be ready for use next month, enough to make more than fifty guns of the Galen warship." ”
