Chapter 578: Dreams Set Sail

Duan Fei's plan to invite the king into the urn was a bumper harvest that night, many of the ships that returned to the port had not yet received the news, and all the results were thrown into the net, Duan Fei still detained all the people, all the goods and ships were confiscated, many people came to intercede, Duan Fei released some as appropriate, and nine times out of ten they were still not released.

The conditions for Duan Fei's release are very simple, there is no backstage, no ransom, no son or brother to join the navy, after the news spread, the people who signed up for the army and came to ransom people with huge sums of money turned over at the same time, and there are many fake relatives to join the army, Duan Fei does not refuse, as long as the body is qualified, and there is a guarantee as a guarantee.

Only then did everyone know that Lord Chincha was just trying to recruit people and make money by the way.

Although I know this, but everyone can't hold their arms and thighs, they can only admit it, the money that should be sent still has to be sent, many maritime merchants have united to raise a sum of money, to redeem the Jin County Order, this time the silver ticket to send Bailing is not working, Lord Qincha said that he will not let go, so everyone is at a loss.

After a few days, there were fewer and fewer ships that threw themselves into the net, and Duan Fei's fleet no longer squatted in the harbor, sometimes going out to patrol and train day and night, and the large and small ships he surrendered were just used.

Duan Fei brought a few plasterers from the capital, they began to build a cement factory by the Jiulong River in the suburbs of Haicheng County, first built a water mill by the river, and then built a vertical kiln the size of a house, invited someone to mine limestone, grind it with the clay that was dried alive by the water mill, and then mixed with some plant and wood ash, put it in a vertical kiln and calcined it at high temperature.

Burning cement here, burning bricks there, digging foundations, the open ground by the river became a busy construction site overnight, and many people who came to deliver stones did not know what limestone was, so many of the stones sent were not up to standard, and they were stuffed into the dug pit for the foundation.

It takes a lot of time to burn the green bricks, Duan Fei taught the craftsmen to use the prepared cement mixed with water and pour them into the mold to make cement bricks, and after a few days, a large number of cement bricks and green bricks were made, and they began to build factories and walls.

Duan Fei used the boat to send all the things he had paid to Quanzhou to sell cheaply, and even the ship was sold, and the silver was put into the factory by the Jiulong River in the suburbs of Haicheng County.

Li Masai also came to Haicheng, he has experience in sea combat, Duan Fei sent him to board the flagship of the Ziqiang to assist Wu Huai'an, his two entourages also followed on the ship, Duan Fei ordered them to teach the sailors on the ship how to adapt to the long-distance sea life, and how to deal with emergencies, such as storms, etc., Duan Fei gave them a promise that as long as they complete this task, they can leave freely, of course, they can also choose to stay in Daming, help Daming defeat the Frankians, and then personally take Daming's fleet to France to take revenge!

Seeing the powerful firepower and strong armor of the treasure ship, Li Masai did not hesitate to choose the latter path, he began to actively cooperate, put forward many suggestions, and he also discussed with the fire man Yasan a plan to quickly enhance the iron smelting and cannon technology of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the two came to Duan Fei together and put forward their own suggestions to him.

Hearing their plan, Duan Fei pondered, "Do you want to go to Manthorn?" ”

The Fire Warrior Yasan is more fluent in Chinese, he hurriedly explained: "My lord, only me and his two deputies go, he continues to stay here to help the adults train the navy, I used to be a member of the Franc Machine envoys, I took two black slaves to mix in the Manchurian Horn Plus, if the Manchu Horn Plus does not have the talents that the adults need, we can find them along the port along the way, it really doesn't work, I go directly back to Lisbon to seek talents for the adults, I will tell them that what is written in Marco Polo's book is true, the Ming Dynasty in the East is very rich, and there is gold everywhere, There will definitely be a lot of people coming to Daming with us. ”

Duan Fei smiled: "This is a good way, but isn't it inappropriate to publicize that Daming has a lot of gold?" This will attract countless pirates. ”

The fire man Yasan said: "My lord, as long as we have a strong fleet, no matter how many pirates do not dare to come to Daming to spread wilderness, wait for us to build a better cannon, defeat the Francophone fleet, and occupy the Manchurian Thorn Plus, the Franco-machine can only retreat to Tianzhu, when the time comes, we can attack and retreat, even if the combined fleet of the entire Europe comes to Manthorn, it is not our opponent of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

This is also Duan Fei's plan, but he didn't expect it to be seen by the fire man Yasan, Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, this official agrees to your request, and this official will arrange for you to take those two black people to Manchuria, Barak, do you want them to go to France to find out the whereabouts of your family for you?" ”

Li Masai smiled bitterly: "Colbe kills people like hemp, how can he leave my family without killing?" Don't startle the snakes when you go, lest Colbert find out that I'm not dead. ”

Duan Fei smiled: "It's not a waste of time, even if you startle the snake?" According to what you said, France today is no match for the Franco, and if we defeat the Francophone and sail all the ships to Paris, are we afraid that Colbert will know in advance? ”

Li Marseille's expression moved, and he said: "That's fine, I still have a few trustworthy friends in France, through whom I should be able to find out the news of my family smoothly, and by the way, send a message to Colbert, tell him that I have taken refuge in the most powerful empire in the East, and the smallest province of this empire is larger than the whole of France, and I will return to France with a powerful fleet that he has never seen before, hang him on the seashore, and pay tribute to the heroic souls of the sailors he killed!" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "That's right, it's best to scare him day and night and suffer the crime, but don't be scared to death, then you won't be able to take revenge with your own hands." ”

Li Ma Circuit: "Don't worry, my lord, Colbe is the same age as me, and he is not so easy to die if he is pampered." ”

Duan Fei groaned, as if there was something difficult to decide in his heart, and the fire man Yasan rolled his eyes and said, "Are you worried that I will never come back once I leave?" No, no, Daming is so rich and famous, any prefecture and county are cleaner than Lisbon, and the lowly position can be reused by adults here, and can be respected by countless people, how can there be a reason why the lowly position will not come back? Please rest assured! ”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "This is not what the official is thinking, the official is thinking about what the official should reward you if you successfully complete the task and come back?" Permanent residency is inevitable, a big mansion can be given by the official, the wife and concubine can give you the silver, maybe the official can also help you lobby the emperor, and get the status of an honorary marquis, and then you will be the real nobles of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Both Li Masai and Asan the Fire said excitedly: "Your Excellency is really generous, for your lordship, for those rewards, we will definitely redouble our efforts!" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "The official is also looking forward to it, you can go back and prepare, the official will send you to Manthorn Jia after finding a boat, I wish you good luck!" ”

Three days later, an ordinary merchant ship carrying the firefighter Yasan and the two black men left the Moon Harbor and quietly headed for Manchuka, carrying good expectations and many of Duan Fei's requests, and sailed west......
