Chapter 2229 Xinghebo Comes to Jinling

Fang Xing felt that neither Jinling nor Nanfang welcomed him.

Yes, looking at the rain and fog in his sight, Fang Xing cursed: "If this continues, people will get moldy!"

The weather is pitiful, the rain only started at noon, and it was very small.

Wang He looked into the distance, feeling unhappy, and asked casually: "Uncle Xinghe, where is your little tiger?"

“It’s time to eat hot pot!”

Fang Xing said randomly.

Wang He naturally didn't believe it. Just as he was about to ask again, the cavalry came to the shore.

In the rain and fog, the people and horses were soaked.

The war horse stopped on the shore, shaking its head and throwing the rainwater everywhere.

The scouts on horseback shouted loudly: "Uncle, Jinling is ahead. The six ministers and the prefect of Jinling are already waiting at the dock!"

The fleet immediately became excited, and the sergeants began to organize their troops.

When the pier could be seen, the cavalry were already in position on both sides of the pier and were monitoring it.

A group of officials slowly walked over. Fang Xing stood on the side of the ship and cupped his hands, and found Yu Qian behind the crowd.

The ship slowly docked at the pier, and Fang Xing went ashore to greet the officials, and then said, "Your Majesty is not pleased to welcome us, so please disperse."

Led by officials from the six departments, everyone bowed their hands and then dispersed.

Only Li Xiu San was not allowed to do so. He told Fang Xing and his party where they lived, and then he had to accompany them there.

Fang Xing was placed in the former big house, which was probably a high-end guest house in Jinling. Officials of high rank could stay here when they came to Jinling for business.

After Fang Xing came out of the shower, Yu Qian also came.

"I heard that you rented a place to live by yourself?"

"Yes."

Fang Xing was a little hungry. He took a sip of tea, and then Yu Qian started talking about the situation in Jinling.

"The news arrived two days earlier than Xiaguan, which shows that they also delivered it quickly."

"That's normal. It's not surprising if you take the official Yima."

"Yes, I know."

Yu Qian had long since lost his youthfulness and was not surprised at all by this kind of thing.

"The city was in a panic at first, and the officials were still in a panic when they arrived. The powerful gentry gathered everywhere, and even the officials were dragged away a lot. After the officials arrived, they calmed down a bit, but they are still planning..."

"What now?"

Fang Xing found it very interesting. People say that if you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.

But what are these people afraid of?

"They are still afraid now, but some people have analyzed that your trip is just to suppress the south, and you will not take action as long as there is no change, so it has calmed down a little."

This situation is one of waiting and watching, plus laying mines. If the response is wrong, the mines will be exploded, killing whoever is killed.

"You have just arrived here and are not familiar with the officialdom of Jinling. You are like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant. You may not be able to make good use of it."

"Yes, I paid you a visit, but I still need some time to get acquainted with you."

Yu Qian seemed a little impatient, Fang Xing smiled and said, "Why are you panicking? You are here to become an official, take your time, don't be impatient. I am here to establish authority, and there is no need to consider any tricks, so the starting point and methods are different. Naturally different.”

"It's getting late, let's go back."

Fang Xing sent Yu Qian away and went to the kitchen to make food for himself.

Boil the pork belly, slice it, and lightly roll it in oil. Then heat up the oil pan, add the watercress, tempeh and other ingredients and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the meat slices.

"Wow!"

Fang Xing poured a small amount of the previous broth into it, then flipped the spoon, and with a bang, the flames started to rise.

Stir-fry for a few times, then add red oil, add some green pepper slices and tofu cubes, stir-fry, and then remove from the pot.

On the large slices of slightly curled pork belly, red oil and black beans add some red and black, making it look oily.

Fang Xing made a large bowl of rice and started eating the stir-fried pork belly.

The sweet and salty taste is perfect for eating. At the end of the meal, Fang Xing even poured the remaining vegetables and soup into it, stirred it a few times, and ate heartily.

He ate happily, but many people in Jinling City had difficulty swallowing.

The arrival of the Jubaoshan Guards made the entire Jinling City remain silent.

But Fang Xing's arrival made people furious.

"He's coming teacher."

Huang Jian's face looked a little pale. Wang Yuan, who was drinking, put down his glass and frowned: "That cousin of yours is living and dying overseas. What are you worried about?"

Huang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "Wang Liusui... I was afraid that Fang Xing would have found out at that time, but he just kept holding back. He had such skill and power back then."

The failed assassination that year had long been forgotten. If Huang Jian hadn't mentioned it at this moment, Wang Yuan would never have thought of it again.

No matter how confident he was, Huang Jian's caution and nervousness destroyed his confidence.

Wang Yuan slammed the wine glass on the table and said: "Every tree and grass are at war. If you are afraid, then go to sea."

Huang Jian said awkwardly: "Teacher, I'm just... worried."

…

Fang woke up early the next morning and set out. He was going to the shipyard.

In name, his mission when he went south was to inspect the shipyard, so the two deputy commanders of the Navy came to pick him up, and the group gathered together and left the city.

"This negotiation has been fruitless. What your Majesty and the DPRK mean is that the countries in Europe and the West are very ambitious, and no matter what means the Ming Dynasty adopts, they cannot stop their desire to expand outward. And if they expand outward, they will inevitably collide with the Ming Dynasty..." "

Hong Bao said: "It's expected. Our family is just worried that they have come out now. The sea will be so big by then, how can we intercept them?"

Fu Xian was unhappy when he heard this and asked: "Eunuch Hong, Governor Hong, do they dare to run around?"

"Don't dare."

Hong Bao frowned and looked at Fu Xian, a little dissatisfied with him for deliberately mentioning his official position, and then said: "Your Majesty said that what Ming Dynasty should be careful about is the merging of meat fans and Ha Lie. As for Taixi, locking them up is enough. Lock it up, understand?”

Fu Xian didn't like Hong Bao's conservatism. He preferred offense, using offense instead of defense, and using offense to eliminate hidden dangers.

All the way to the shipyard, when Fang Xing saw the ships with varying progress on the slipway, he couldn't help but praise: "When these warships go to sea, the ocean will belong to the Ming Dynasty."

Hong Bao said proudly: "Uncle Xinghe, this batch is much bigger."

The three of them arrived at the slipway, and Fang Xing asked about the specific data of the warship.

"...It looks like one thousand fourteen or five materials."

"On this trip to the West, the sharp artillery made them frightened. As long as we have enough artillery and ships, we dare to fight all the way across and prevent them from entering the sea!"

Hong Bao was obviously not a conservative. He pointed regretfully at the treasure ships under maintenance and said, "What a pity for the treasure ships. It would have been better if we had just built warships back then."

The treasure ship was so big that it looked like a behemoth now.

But after artillery emerged in naval battles, the combat effectiveness of treasure ships was questioned.

Transformation is impossible, so the treasure ship will probably be used as a flagship or a large transport ship in the future.

Fu Xian pointed to the distance and said: "The twelve warships built in advance, plus the four ships, are not enough for offense, but more than enough for defense."

Sixteen warships were too few for the Ming Dynasty, so Hong Bao looked at the half-finished products on the slipway with greed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is preparing to arrange for the return of those envoys."

Fang Xing revealed a piece of news that made Fu Xian and Hong Bao a little excited.

"Bo Xinghe, are you going to send a large fleet to Taixi?"

"Our family is willing to go there again. At least we can get rid of the anger we suffered last time."

Hong Bao thought about the worry and panic of the coastal countries when he led a fleet that could cover the strait to the west of Thailand, and then said to Fu Xian: "We are familiar with the road, Mr. Fu, this matter must be our family."

Fu Xian just sneered, thinking that Hong Bao was talking nonsense.

"This is not going to happen on a large scale."

Fang Xing interrupted their reverie, and now even Fu Xian couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Xinghe, why?"

“Because of the meat-obsessed relationship with Tessie, it was the wrong time to go to Tessie.”

Fang Xing analyzed it for them: "If we go too little, they may take the risk and capture the fleet directly, and then learn our shipbuilding methods, and more importantly, learn our firearms!"

Fu Xian said regretfully: "Then why don't we attack directly?"

Hong Bao said: "It's impossible. We can do it at sea, but if we want to attack by land, how many troops must be sent there? How much food and grass must be sent there?"

"There are also meat fans and Hallie who are watching us. If we get stuck in the quagmire of Taixi, they will be very happy to attack the Ming Dynasty."
