Zhang Zhijie looked at these familiar faces coming towards him, and he was also a little emotional, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you yet, come and see the emperor." ”

In fact, Feng Haisheng and the others had already noticed the young man standing in front of the Admiral, and they had already guessed in their hearts that there seemed to be no one else in the world who could stand in front of the Admiral at such a young age except the emperor.

It's really the emperor coming! I didn't expect them to see the emperor in their lifetime! Feng Haisheng and the others immediately knelt down and said excitedly: "I have seen the emperor at a humble level, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "You have worked hard to go to sea this time, hurry up and calm down!" ”

After Feng Haisheng kowtowed to thank them, he stood up respectfully and stood aside, Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Is it still smooth to go to sea?" ”

Feng Haisheng said with a smile: "My lord, although I have also experienced some twists and turns, I have passed it safely, and it is still smooth. ”

After finishing speaking, Feng Haisheng immediately said excitedly: "My lord, there was no fleet to go to sea last year, only our fleet, so the goods were in short supply, and the goods we brought were soon out of stock!" ”

"This time, I brought back about two million taels of silver, and there are many overseas treasures!"

Zhang Zhijie was very satisfied when he heard it, and Emperor Zhengde was not only satisfied when he heard it, but opened his mouth wide in surprise! Although he had repeatedly heard Zhang Zhijie say that going to sea was very profitable, he was still very surprised to know that the fleet brought a full two million taels of silver on one trip to sea.

According to the agreed division of these two million taels of silver, he can get one million taels of silver, so that his inner treasury will instantly become very sufficient.

Even if you can only go to sea once a year, you can have a million taels of silver every year, which is a huge amount of money! In this way, the inner library will no longer be empty.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are all meritorious people when you go to sea this time." ”

Feng Haisheng said with a smile: "This is all the guidance of adults, my lord, the silver is on the ship, is it unloading the ship?" ”

Emperor Zhengde and Zhang Zhijie forgot about this stubble in a hurry, but now it is not too late to know, Zhang Zhijie sent Jinyi Wei to collect carriages and boxes from Tianjin Guard!

Feng Haisheng also breathed a sigh of relief, it was really worrying that the two million taels of silver had been loaded on the ship, and it was easy to hand them over to the Admiral as soon as possible.

If you want to collect the carriage, it is not possible to collect it in a while, Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Your Majesty, do you want to go to the warship to have a look?" ”

Zhang Zhijie's words reached the heart of Emperor Zhengde, and Emperor Zhengde smiled: "I haven't been to the sea yet, I want to go to the sea to see!" ”

Feng Haisheng hurriedly took someone to arrange, and Zhang Zhijie took some brocade guards to accompany Zhengde to board the warship. Emperor Zhengde looked around with great interest and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it is a warship on the sea, much larger than the warship of the river and sea!" It's mighty! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now you see that this warship is very big, but when it comes to the sea, it is nothing compared to this vast sea!" ”

After that, Zhang Zhijie instructed Feng Haisheng: "Set sail and take the fleet around the nearby sea!" ”

Feng Haisheng immediately responded and began to arrange, and it didn't take long for the huge fleet to leave the port one after another and sail towards the endless sea.

Emperor Zhengde stood on the boat and looked at this magnificent scene, seeing this huge fleet chopping the wind and waves, and he was almost so excited that he couldn't help himself!

Seeing the sea for the first time and going out to sea with a huge fleet, Emperor Zhengde was so excited and understandable. However, Zhang Zhijie was still a little worried, after all, people who took the sea ship for the first time may not be adaptable, but Emperor Zhengde did not show any discomfort, which made Zhang Zhijie breathe a sigh of relief.

The fleet was chopping the wind and waves at sea, Zhang Zhijie also asked Feng Haisheng to command the fleet to conduct a drill, when the huge fleet formed a formation and artillery fired together, the kind of power that destroyed the world made Emperor Zhengde's blood boil.

Emperor Zhengde patted the side of the ship and said excitedly: "Okay, what a mighty fleet!" With such artillery firing in unison, what kind of fleet can hold up? ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the combat power of this fleet is actually not too strong!" It's no problem to fight pirates near the coast, but it's a lot more than the Westerners' fleet! ”

Emperor Zhengde calmed down from his excitement, what he saw was only superficial, and Zhang Zhijie was the one who understood naval warfare. Emperor Zhengde was a little disbelieving: "Zhijie, Westerners' things are really powerful?" More powerful than our Daming? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Many of their things are far inferior to Daming, but their firearms are indeed more powerful than Daming's firearms!" ”

"In today's naval warfare, artillery can play a considerable role, even absolutely! Now they are still far away from us, and they have not yet come to our doorstep! ”

"But the scope of their activities is gradually increasing, and one day they will come to our Daming! They came with superior artillery, and if we didn't develop a naval division, we would have to be blocked on land at that time! ”

Emperor Zhengde said firmly: "I will definitely develop the water division, as long as we pay attention to it, we will definitely catch up!" ”

Zhang Zhijie then remembered and asked Feng Haisheng: "Old Feng, how is the other task given to you completed?" ”

Feng Haisheng immediately laughed when he heard this; "I forgot to report to the Admiral, and the tasks assigned to the lowly officials by the Lord have been successfully completed!"

Zhang Zhijie listened to it and said expectantly: "It's done? Got it? ”

Emperor Zhengde was a little puzzled and said, "What task?" Got something? ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The minister once gave them a difficult task, let them try to get some Western firearms back, and let the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau study and study it when the time comes!" ”

Emperor Zhengde remembered that Zhang Zhijie had told him that he wanted the fleet to get some Westerners' firearms back for study.

Emperor Zhengde was interested: "Oh, so you brought back the firearms of the Westerners?" I want to see how powerful this Westerner's firearms are! ”

When Feng Haisheng heard this, he immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the lowly rank has indeed brought muskets and artillery from the Francophone on this trip. But because I was afraid of damage, I was sealed in a box by my subordinates! ”

When Emperor Zhengde heard this, he asked, "Are their muskets and artillery very powerful?" ”

Feng Haisheng listened to Zhengse and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, although this Franc machine man looks like a barbarian with blond hair and blue eyes, their muskets and artillery are indeed very powerful!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was even more itchy when he heard this, but since these firearms were sealed, he couldn't see them for the time being, and he could only see them after they were transported to the capital.
