Chapter 676: The Second Southern Tour

"I also know some things about naval battles. It's just that if you have a big ship, a lot of cannons, and a lot of power, you can win. After signing the Military Alliance Agreement, I hope you Franchise can share your true technology with the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were bright and he stared at the front.

The Spanish envoy was stunned and seemed to understand something, "His Majesty the Emperor meant...Is it necessary for us to build a shipyard in the Ming Dynasty to help the Ming Dynasty build Garen warships?"

"No, I don't need your ship, we have our own ship." Zhu Youxiao shook his head slightly.

The foreigners are not as clear as those of the domestic ministers in their understanding of things, and they seem to be straightforward when talking to them in the future.

save trouble!

"My naval general said that in this battle of Penghu, the Dutch warships in the long sea were more mobile than our blessed ships. I need to know if it was the reason for their new sails."

"If so, I hope you Franchise will hand over this technology to the shipmasters of the Military Equipment Division so that we can be self-sufficient rather than always buy it."

Zhu Youxiao simply closed the memorial and said straight to the point:

"In addition to mobility, Galen ships are not as large as Fu Ship, but the carrier-based guns are twice as many as Fu Ship. We also need to know the reason and transform the Fu Ship based on this."

Wang Chaofu, who was outside the prefect, was also shocked.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been talking like this straightforwardly without striking the bush.

In fact, this is true. The Franjiren is not a minister of the Ming Dynasty. His skills may not have any effect on them.

The Spanish envoy understood it quickly this time, and he hurriedly said:

"We already have a large royal shipyard in Manila and build a second shipyard in the Far East. This is a matter that cannot be decided by the ministers."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"That's what I mean anyway. Since you want to sign an alliance, you can't ask you to take all the benefits. You must always be sincere."

"If the Franchise man did not even have this sincerity, how can I confirm whether you can keep this covenant in war?"

"The lives of the Ming Navy soldiers are also life, and your lives are not more precious than ours."

The Spanish envoy heard the importance of Zhu Youxiao's words and quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor is above, and the ministers must tell our country these words."

"May the Ming Dynasty and the Spanish Empire be able to form an alliance."

Zhu Youxiao said "hmm" and said:

"You go down, I still have the national government to deal with it."

"Sir, please leave..." The Spanish envoy saluted again. When he went down, the King of Chaofu came closer and said while pinching his shoulders:

"Master, wouldn't it be cheaper for those Franchise men?"

"The control of the southeastern waters was captured by the imperial navy, and they did not lose a single army or a ship."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, leaned behind him and said:

"Bgalao Casting Factory, the best Casting Factory in the Far East, will not be their own when the Franchise Shipyard is also built along the coast of the Ming Dynasty."

"I have to hold the southeastern waters in my hands. As long as I want to continue to do business, Philip IV will have to accept it."

"Franchise is not having a good time now. Our finances have recovered, but they are still far from it. This is the face I give to Philip, and he has to ask."

Wang Chaofu looked like he suddenly realized his mind. I don’t know if he understood everything, but he only heard him laugh and said:

"The emperor is indeed wise, and I respect you."

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and smiled:

"You are simply the roundworm in my heart."

Zhu Youxiao was very concerned about the issue of shipbuilding.

After the imperial edict was issued to Fujian, there was a stir among the generals, and many people couldn't understand why they had to talk about their own faults after winning the battle.

Once this memorial was launched, wouldn’t it be the emperor that he had grabbed the handle?

But in the end, the words of Fujian General Yu Zizao made many people feel relieved. No matter whether you submit this memorial or not, the court still wants to do it if you want to do it?

If the emperor really wanted to do it again, he would not have issued such an order.

It is obvious that the emperor is warning them not to be overly happy. After all, the victory was not very smooth, and we need to prepare for the future and improve our mistakes.

As soon as these enlightenment words were spoken, everyone was convinced.

Soon, the memorials of generals who led the troops in the Battle of Penghu in Fujian and Denglai were sent to the Forbidden City, under Zhu Youxiao's nose.

Zhu Youxiao put down the memorial of the Dengzhou General Chen Yourong and sighed:

"I am worthy of being the general who was guarding Japanese defences in the imperial court. His book is considered to be in my heart."

With the emperor's tacit approval, Wang Chaofu put his head over and took a few glances at it.

"Master, Deng Shuai is going to resign..."

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and nodded.

In this memorial, Chen Yourong said that it is a blessing that he has no mistakes in this battle, so how dare he seek merit?

What's more, the Dengzhou camp suffered a huge loss, and it consumed millions of dollars in the imperial court's money and food every year, but it was so painful that even though people in the world heard of great victory, it made him feel uncomfortable.

The Dutch warships are not as tall, size, and number of personnel as those of the Fu Ship, but the number of carrier-based guns is far superior to that of the Fu Ship in the deep sea in any aspect.

The Ming Navy still has a long way to go to defeat them in the deep sea in a truly sense, but he can't see that day.

At the end of the memorial, Chen Yourong, the general of Dengzhou, formally resigned and begged for his return.

Zhu Youxiao leaned against the seat and asked:

"How old is Chen Yourong this year?"

Wang Chaofu said, "Your Majesty, you are more than seventy years old. Before this victory, he was promoted to the commander in Wanli.

Zhu Youxiao deeply agrees with it and said:

"This is because my Ming Navy has no one, so I will let such a veteran be put on the battlefield again and lead the navy to go to war!"

"It seems that it is necessary to set up a naval branch in Shuntian Martial Arts Academy, and send an order to the cabinet to ask them to arrange the matter properly and report to me to know."

Wang Chaofu nodded and saw that the emperor was about to get up, he asked quickly:

"Master, are you going to go back to Kunning Palace?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and turned around and said:

"Kunning Palace?"

"No, I want to go to Tianjin first. The future Franchise shipyard is in Tianjin. I want to go and see it, and then go to Denglai to see my soldiers of the Denglai Navy in the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Chaofu was stunned. After he came to his senses, he found that Emperor Tianqi had already walked to the Ganqing sect and hurriedly chased after him.

......

The news that Zhu Youxiao was going to tour the south quickly spread throughout every street and alley in the capital.

This time, like that, was a formal southern tour.

After Zhu Youxiao decided to come down, he arranged personnel positions in the six ministries in Beijing, and then issued an edict to inform him, and finally set off five days later.

As for the task of protecting the car, Chen Ce led the Yongwei camp to accompany him throughout the journey.
