The giant ship began to return.
Emperor Hongzhi was filled with emotion.
Standing on this gigantic ship, it really feels a little bit like a king's land under the whole world.
Zhu Houzhao leaned on the side of the boat, looked down at the floating corpses in the sea, and occasionally some people called for help exhaustedly.
"Old Fang, how many people do you really want?"
Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Highness, there is no need."
Zhu Houzhao smiled instead: "Old Fang, you have changed and become decisive. You are worthy of being my brother. You need to be a man when you do things."
Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "It's not because they are decisive, but because...they know too much."
know.....too much...
Fang Jifan said: "These four ships have been wiped out. Once they are captured and brought back to land, what if someone among them sends a message? At that time, the Spaniards will know that we have such a huge ship in Ming Dynasty , will definitely take precautions.”
"The Invincible Fleet is a serious concern to my confidant. Sooner or later, we will fight to the death with them. Therefore, the news of this huge ship must not be leaked out for the time being. The only thing the Spaniards know is that his four ships have been destroyed. But I don't know how it was destroyed. When our Eastern Invincible Fleet is formed, there will be seven or eight ships. At that time, we will look for the Armada and fight them decisively. In order to ensure that the news of the giant ships will not be leaked Franji, don't even think about living."
Zhu Houzhao rested his chin, nodded and said, "It makes sense, Lao Fang is really cunning." He said faintly, "I thought you were avenging your father for your father."
Fang Jifan pulled his face: "My father will not die!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hands, but he didn't dare to say anything, and nodded obediently: "Yes, yes."
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi felt relaxed and happy. On the way back, during this journey, he felt that the bad breath in his heart had finally come out.
He recruited Zhu Houzhao, but did not summon Fang Jifan.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others.
Emperor Hongzhi asked the case: "This steamboat was built by my son, but in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the full support of Jifan. The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty heard that steamboats were going to be built, and they heard that there were tens of millions of taels of silver. , everyone’s faces are ashen-colored, but they don’t know that it’s a big deal to spend money on, Zhu Qing, your eyes are too close.”
The officials had nothing to say, and obediently listened to His Majesty's reprimand.
Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Today, the scumbag Wang Bushi made a great contribution, sinking four enemy ships and killing thousands of enemies. Yes. But..."
He paused: "I didn't sleep well all night, thinking in my heart, the crown prince and Jifan have worked hard and made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. Behind this great contribution is their hard work. I have With such a huge ship, why worry about the injustice? It is a pity that... Lu Guogong died in battle because of it. He was so loyal, it really makes me feel a pity. But it also made Ji Fan lose his father."
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were gloomy, and he opened his eyes suddenly: "Now, these thousands of Franji people and these four ships have the right to comfort the spirit of Duke Lu. After thinking about it, this is a big deal, Duke Lu..."
"No!" Emperor Hongzhi shook his head when he said this, "It should be the king of Xinjin County..."
Xinjin County King...
All officials are awe-inspiring.
The succession of the county king is 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 heaven, you must be gratified. I was thinking that after returning to Beijing, I should personally sacrifice to the king of Xinjin County, and take this great victory to comfort the king of Xinjin County and those who died in the battle. The loyal soul of Xinjin, let the Duke of England take care of this matter, order him to undertake the sacrifice, and choose an auspicious day, and I will lead all the officials to pay the sacrifice in person."
All the officials sighed with emotion, but no one raised any objections.
Prince Xinjin, what a pity to die, if one day earlier, Daming had such a giant ship, how could he be afraid of Frangji.
The majestic Duke, flying thousands of miles, guarding the most remote frontier for Daming, can be described as overcoming obstacles, going through life and death, and now, his soul is finally lost thousands of miles away, and His Majesty went to pay homage in person, which is also very reasonable.
Emperor Hongzhi said again: "After returning to Beijing, I will make another decree to set up the Dongfang Invincible Navy, order Tang Yin to be the commander-in-chief of the navy, supervise the construction of steam ships, recruit and train sailors, and formulate the tactics of steam ship naval warfare. Within three to five years, this Eastern Invincible Navy will take shape to deter the world."
Emperor Hongzhi looked around: "Your Excellencies, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhu Houzhao said without hesitation: "Father, the sons and ministers seconded the proposal."
Hundreds of officials said one after another: "The minister waits for a second opinion."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head and said, "Prepare the edict. After landing, the edict will be passed on to the world."
"As for Fang Jifan..." Emperor Hongzhi took a deep look at Zhu Houzhao: "Prince these days, it's good to look at him, don't let him think about it."
Zhu Houzhao said: "He thinks very openly, father..."
Emperor Hongzhi glared at him.
Zhu Houzhao shuddered: "I know."
…………
After more than a month of training.
Fang Jinglong's injuries have healed a lot, and there are countless scars all over his body.
At this time, Xinjin had begun to rebuild, and a large number of aid from various strongholds
The army also arrived one after another.
Fang Jinglong met the generals, and worked hard, hoping to recover his body earlier.
The Franji finally went to war without declaring it. The safety of these hundreds of thousands of immigrants was hanging by a thread. Dangerous.
In order to show that he was cured, he wore heavy armor, pressed a knife, and went to observe the militia drills in person without anyone supporting him.
After a day of practice, the whole person is exhausted.
Xu Jing personally supported Fang Jinglong, and returned to the guard station, Fang Jinglong let others take off his armor, while smiling wryly: "I'm old, I'm old, I think I used to wear this thing for a day and a night without getting tired. Now, it won't work."
Xu Jingqian smiled softly: "Master is always growing stronger, but now the old wounds are still there. Thinking about it, if he can heal his wounds with peace of mind, he will be able to recover in a short time."
Fang Jinglong smiled: "These words are just self-deception, but I also accept your good words. These days, the old man is seriously injured, but it is thanks to your hard work."
"Don't dare. Being able to serve the teacher is really a blessing for the students. The teacher treats the students with such kindness as a mountain, and the students are willing to share their worries for the teacher."
At this moment, Fang Jinglong sighed: "Old man, I am very worried now. Xinjin was attacked by Frangji and suffered heavy losses. This old man... can be said to be duty-bound. I am afraid that the imperial court will punish me. In this life, I have lived enough, suffered, and enjoyed wealth. What I am worried about is that if this affects Fang Jifan, who is your mentor, then...hey..."
After Xu Jing heard this, he frowned, but he still comforted Fang Jinglong and said: "Master, please rest assured. Your Majesty has always trusted your mentor, and you have a lot of trust in your master. This time, it is not a crime of war. If you want to come... Your Majesty Certainly not to blame."
Fang Jinglong nodded his head, but he still frowned, this place is too far away from the capital, who would have thought what the situation in the capital would be like, his son was too reckless, if he offended someone, someone said something bad in front of His Majesty, But I can't tell.
Fang Jinglong said: "Old man, the only thing I am worried about is this son. Although this son is smarter and more promising than this old man, in his heart... always..."
Xu Jingdao: "If you want to come, there will be news from the imperial court in a short time, please wait a moment, Master."
"Okay." Fang Jing nodded solemnly.
…………
When Shengjia returned to Beijing, the whole capital was already in an uproar.
His Majesty personally patrolled the sea and wiped out Fran's aircraft and ships. Suddenly, the capital was shaken.
People kept whispering, at first, because it was just gossip, but many people said so, it was hard to believe it or not.
Afterwards, Tang Yin entered the palace according to the order, and Emperor Hongzhi personally summoned him and asked about the establishment of the navy. Tang Yin answered fluently, and Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied with this.
Tang Yin had experience in building a navy before, not to mention he was Fang Jifan's disciple, he pursued new learning, and his work was practical and reliable. It was appropriate to entrust the future fleet to him.
So he personally gave Tang Yin the imperial order, and Tang Yin left the palace with the order and returned to Xishan. He originally wanted to meet his mentor and listen to his opinion on the Eastern Invincible Fleet.
At this time, the British Duke was already in the hall.
The British Duke Zhang Mao came in person, patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder, hesitated to speak, and finally smiled bitterly: "Jifan, it's no big deal. If we old things can be shrouded in horse leather, it might not be a good home. You His father is the old brother of the old man, he went first, there is nothing wrong..."
Fang Jifan said dumbly: "My father is not dead yet."
Zhang Mao said angrily: "How can it be called death? It can't be called death. At any rate, people with dignity have already been crowned kings of the county. They should be called 'Xu'. There must be rules. Now that you grow up, in the future, you will be the king of the county." The head of the Fang family can no longer be willful."
Fang Jifan said: "My father didn't die."
Zhang Maodao: "The imperial decree has come down, can there be any mistakes? I have seen you yesterday, and your majesty understands what your majesty means very well. The vigorous and vigorous sacrifice of the king of Xinjin County, who died for the country, is indeed a role model for all ages. This time, your majesty will lead all the officials , Sacrifice in person, this sacrificial ceremony, the old man will preside over the ceremony, the old man has presided over the whole life of the sacrifice, this time, but there is no complaint, you must let your father, the scenery, the beauty, be the old man... give him a gift let's go."
Speaking of this, Zhang Mao sighed with emotion.
Maybe it's because he's old, although he squeezed out a smile on his face, his cloudy eyes couldn't help getting wet.
