Mu Hui didn't know how many times he had heard Xu Hao say that a cannon fired ten thousand taels of gold, so he and his brothers all held their breath, but being familiar with naval warfare is not an overnight effort, and there is no time for a year or two to conduct strict drills, and even the surrounding waters dare not go deep easily.

Then there are no more than 1,000 Weihaiwei sergeants, whose duty is to guard the coast of Wendeng County and the slap-sized sea area.

Xu Hao is also quite distressed about this, sailing is not a joke, and the probability of accidents seems to be as high as 50%, of course, that refers to traveling through the ocean. But even if he sails in the East China Sea, he can't easily allow Mu Hui to sail, in case of a typhoon or something, with the water nature of the brothers, there is a chance that he will have to feed Wang Ba.

Just take it as a seed, and continue to provide qualified officers to the Daming Water Division, in order to broaden the minds and horizons of the sergeants, Xu Hao is ready to open geography and other courses.

Of course, navigation is a must, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. And this time, the emperor ordered him to investigate the reality of the Korean state, and gave him a rare opportunity, so he took the opportunity to ask for the transfer of 20 warships of the Shandong Navy Division, and selected a few captains with rich experience, and prepared to set sail for North Korea.

It is a pity that the ensuing news gave Xu Hao a basin of cold water, the imperial court wanted to send a group of envoys headed by the household servants, and the deputy was not surprisingly served by the eunuchs, Xu Hao was very disappointed after learning the news, so he dispelled the idea of going to North Korea in person.

Disappointment to disappointment, Xu Hao and Mu Hui personally selected a group of people, seized the time to train, and then placed them in various positions on the ship.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune are not a single line, and there are also constraints from the imperial court, Guo Yu, the eighth son of Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding, is going to be transferred to be the governor of Dengzhou, and he happens to be the direct boss of Wendeng County. Xiao Wei, a hundred households of Beiping Jinyi Wei, wants to serve as the deputy thousand households of Weihaiwei, and even the commander of Dengzhou Wei, Si Si, has to send a commander to be stationed there.

In addition, because Wendeng County is a unique county, and no one in the territory starved to death, the surrounding prefectures and counties impeached Wendeng County for opening the sea ban without authorization, and only cared about preserving the land of one county and ignoring the starvation and death of people in neighboring counties. Selfish.

On Liugong Island, Yang Shiqi looked at the sailor yamen under construction silently, his expression was a little gloomy.

Mu Hui was shirtless, showing his bronzed pectoral muscles tanned by the sun, completely changing from the sinister little white face of the past to a handsome man full of masculinity, with the charm of a mature man in his gestures. Xu Hao squinted his eyes while making envy, and he had the intention to bask in the sun for a few more days, and when he got home, the women burst into screams of adoration.

Mu Hui said: "That guy Guo Yu was born in Wenchen, and he has been fighting in Shangbao Division since he became an official, so his coming to Weihai is equivalent to planting eyeliner in the military department." It's Xiao Wei who has dealt with you. How is this person? ”

Xu Hao felt the gentle sea breeze and chuckled: "Xiao Wei is in Beiping all the year round, how do you say about him?" This article and martial arts are all here to spy on you and me, but Xiao Wei is not bad, he is a good man. ”

Mu Hui was selfless and very calm in his heart, and he was not afraid of being monitored by the imperial court, and smiled at Yang Shiqi: "Poor old Yang, it is estimated that he will be removed from his official position this year." ”

Yang Shiqi's complexion was much darker than the wind and sun, and he sighed: "It can keep the people alive." It's worth it. ”

However, Xu Hao has not changed much, he still has a complexion like jade, and he looks like a rich and noble son, but his bearing has become more atmospheric and calm, and he has some official authority in his gestures. Probably only for the sake of talking but not moving.

Xu Hao said with a smile: "I can't lose my official position, can I be inconsiderate of the power saint for the sake of the people?" And how could I not know that it was my idea to open the forbidden sea court? It's not a big deal to be a county or a county, and besides, the surrounding prefecture and county officials don't even dare to do the same, so the impact is not great.

In fact, it is not easy to remove you from your official position. Who would dare without a nod from the Holy Lord? However, Guo Yu's family background is extraordinary, and he is deeply favored by Bixia, and he came here to check and balance me. ”

Yang Shiqi said with surprise and joy: "I see, but in this case, I am afraid that Mr. will be in a situation in the future?" ”

"Do what needs to be done. What is there to fear about serving the public wholeheartedly? It's nothing more than being unofficial and light. After speaking, Xu Hao raised his feet and walked towards the camp.

Yang Shiqi admired it in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. A white coat can influence the imperial court, which is somewhat unbelievable to the officials. ”

After hearing this, Mu Hui sneered: "White? You're underestimating him. ”

Yang Shiqi was shocked and said, "Mr. Fei has an official position? ”

Mu Hui smiled and said nothing, and it took a long time to hinder the sharply rising friendship with Yang Shiqi who had cooperated together for many days, and mysteriously spit out four words: "Minister of the Qincha." ”

"Ahh Yang Shiqi's mouth opened wide in surprise.

There was a plump white beauty sitting in the tent, it was the Hundred Flowers Holy Aunt, Xu Hao walked in and sat opposite her.

Baihua hurriedly got up and knelt on his knees, and said respectfully: "Baihua greets my lord." ”

"Get up." Xu Hao asked cordially: "You have suffered these days, I promise you to get rid of slavery and Jinyi Wei in five years, and be a famous and upright common man." ”

Baihua took a few steps forward with emotion, slowly put her head on Xu Hao's lap, and said in a depressed mood: "Thank you for your success, the slave is driven by the adult, and he will die a life." ”

Xu Hao let her lie on her lap and said with a smile: "If you want to be left, I will not arrange for you to do anything small or a killer, but to use your expertise to be a famous translator and consultant by my side, and by the way, you can also be a teacher. ”

"To be a teacher?" Baihua raised her head and said in surprise: "The slave was snatched as a slave by the Mongols when he was a child, and then he was sold to the Western Regions, except for serving men and mastering dance skills, he knows nothing." ”

"That's the experience, it's enough to be a teacher." Xu Hao stroked her black hair with a smile, and secretly said that it was a pity that it was not blonde.

Xu Hao said: "I want to know something about your hometown, do you know if Persia is still ruled by the Mongols?" Have you ever heard of the Ottoman Kingdom? ”

Baihua's eyes showed bitter hatred, and with a cruel smile, he said: "The brutal Golden Horde has declined, and it is too far away to know the truth. The kingdom of Great Hulegu, which had ruled his hometown for many years when he was not born, had fallen apart, and the five khanates were fighting each other, and the city of Susa was breached at that time, and the whole city was slaughtered. Later, I heard from the merchant slaves that the Turkic nobleman Timur Khan rose up and conquered all the five khanates, killed all the nobles, and avenged the slaves. ”

A strange feeling rose in Xu Hao's heart, and asked, "You won't be a princess, right?" ”

Baihua said with a smile: "How is it possible? If the slave is a princess, how can she be sold to the Western Regions? ”

"Yes." Xu Hao shook his head a little unwillingly, "What do you think of my Daming?" ”

Baihua said heartily: "It's so beautiful and prosperous, compared to the endless desert and endless killing in my hometown, Daming is like heaven." ”

Xu Hao smiled and disagreed, there are countless troubles within the Ming Dynasty, that is because you don't know at all, of course, today's Daming is really worthy of the reputation of the Heavenly Empire, but be prepared for danger in times of peace, today's heaven hundreds of years later?

Xu Hao asked again: "What about the Ottoman Kingdom?" They were also Turkic people, aggressive and ambitious, and were defeated by our Han people in the past and wandered to Persia. ”

Baihua said with a smile: "The slave knows a lot about this matter, and the merchants will talk about it when they come to the Western Regions, and the Ottoman that the lord said is a vassal state of the Quicksand Dynasty of Flower Thorn Zim in the past, and now it has become very powerful." It is rumored everywhere that the Ottoman army defeated our rival Roman Empire last year, and more than 10,000 crusaders were captured in a great battle. ”

"Crusaders?" Xu Hao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "It turns out that the Ottomans have not completely risen. ”

Baihua asked, "What do you mean by what your lordship said?" ”

Xu Hao ignored her, having played the Great Voyage game and watched the movie about the Crusaders, it was clear that the Ottoman Empire was one of the causes of the forced opening of new routes in Europe, and the Ottomans finally ended Byzantium and became a great empire across Europe, Asia and Africa, that is, the predecessor of modern Turkey.

Compared with the comfortable but unconsciously approaching the low ebb of civilization in the East, Central Asia and even the West at this time are undoubtedly gradually opening the prelude to the turbulent era, and the blood-boiling voyages and protracted and endless wars will continue until the end of World War II.

The question is, what can Da Ming do? Xu Hao pondered.

But I didn't know that Baihua looked up at the Oriental young man in front of him who was completely different from the white Mongols and Turkic people, a head taller than himself, handsome and elegant, with a mysterious temperament that can suffocate people, his skin was as white and smooth as milk, he was a real nobleman, with a more noble status than the prince of Persia, and there was no kingdom that could be compared with the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Hao naturally didn't know that Baihua was immersed in Chongming's thoughts, and he had no interest in this Persian beauty who had read countless people.

As a man, Xu Hao really wanted to immediately lead the army to the west for a short time, but the reality told him that it seemed impossible. The Mongol Iron Hoof, which had conquered half of Shijie, was long gone, and only the Tatars of their descendants were short-lived and retired.

In terms of land combat strength, Xu Hao does not think that he can fight the Timurid country and the Ottomans that have risen in hundreds of years of war, that is a country that can mobilize hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and the Han people are best at urban defense and infantry combat. It's not that there is no chance of winning, the question is is that is possible?

Naval battles were preferred, and ten years later Zheng He's fleet was the invincible presence of Shijie today, and it was possible to learn from the Spanish and Portuguese bandits a hundred years later.

"You go down and rest first." Xu Hao waved his hand, and Baihua turned away respectfully.

Xu Hao turned his mind from the exciting foreign country to the country, and he was a little upset for a while, and he couldn't calm down, his mind was full of thoughts about conquering overseas and establishing colonies, just like when he was playing a game.

Zuihou Xu Hao simply stood up and walked out, and ordered: "Go back to Shiluo Village." (To be continued......)
