Zheng Zhilong said weakly: "He Bin is just calling, not really wanting to look back."

He Bin was frightened and sweated coldly at this time, and said quickly: "Petlin, please put down your gun quickly... Of course, I will keep going. Wealth is in danger, so there is no wealth that can be obtained without taking risks."

"This is still like a word!" Petrien smiled with satisfaction and turned to Mo Zong Pass: "You just said we can't transport the freight? Every river here, every place we have a map, we will slowly set up some supply stations and settlements, and people will hunt here, peel fur, make secret wax, and find the specialties here. The number of settlers will gradually increase. There is a large amount of manpower in our West, and we also have an enterprising spirit. Some people will bring their old and young, and take their families to ride a large four-wheeled carriage, because there is a vast unmanned land here, and there are a large number of wild animals here.

The resources in it are inexhaustible, so ten years later, where we are now walking will be filled with Russians... How do you think our goods are transported? Where there is a river, use ships, and where there is no river, use carriages. We will keep transporting goods to the West, and those goods will be transported to our European territory. Then we have not yet reached the sea port, and we have to use other countries' port trade. Even so, we have been trading and trying to export, because in this way, we can exchange for gold, silver, muskets, and various machines, so that we can run universities and popular education..."

Petrien's eyes showed a fanatic color, he was almost giving a speech, and behind him, the bear-like men stood straight, with only fanatic and proud in their eyes.

Almost all the Chinese present fell silent.

Perhaps the Chinese once had such pioneering and enterprising spirit, in the era of Zhang Qian and Ban Chao...

"The dead Russians also popularize education..." He Bin reluctantly got up with the physical discomfort caused by thirst. Although he was impressed by Petrien, he still couldn't help but scold him.

Zheng Zhilong licked his lips and said, "Petling said that there are many serfs in their country, but cities are gradually increasing, and schools are opening in various places. These Europeans are indeed full of vitality."

The Russians were indeed in the rising period. A hundred years later, Peter the Great finally took them to the sea estuary. Then this nation and country became out of control. Although they were invaded many times, they were always the winner and eventually became one of the two strongest people in the world. Not only did they have the first-class force, but this country also had first-class literary masters and scientific masters. Whether it was literary or mathematical achievements, they were not comparable to China, which had always been in a decline. Even if the superpower split a few hundred years later, the military science level that was still above China...

"Let's go!" Petrien said confidently: "It's impossible for such a landform to be without water. If you stick to it, you will be licked by dew and you will never die of thirst. If you really can't find a wet grass to dig a hole and have a little water. This is how we climbed the Ural Mountains and stood here all the time."

"Hmph, I admit that you are very energetic." Mo Zongtong suddenly said: "But we must abide by our rules in our team. If you die, you cannot be okay, and you cannot threaten your companions with force. Mr. Petrien, before you arrive in Tomsk, for the safety and harmony of all of us, you have to hand over your pistol."

"Okay, don't, what you said is reasonable, listen to you."

Pettering turned the hand gun in his back, his eyes full of reluctance, but he still cooperated to hand over the short gun in his hand.

The team continued to move forward again, only the bird gunners whispered: "Be careful when working with these big bears."

"These people run around like crazy, and sooner or later they will face us."

"These guys are much more dangerous than Beilu..."

A flag captain made a hand gesture to silence everyone. He added at the end: "I am in China from the Yellow River, and the Yangtze River was hidden in the Spring and Autumn Period, and arrived at the Pearl River only in the Qin and Han Dynasties. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, I had already occupied a thousand times the territory when my ancestors were born. We should adhere to the legacy of our ancestors, rather than being afraid of others. Anything that is beneficial to us can be interacted with, and those that are not conducive to us will be fought with. Who am I afraid of in the Ming Dynasty? "

...

Chang Wei, Jiang Kui and Wang Zhang and others set out after Li Guozhu. When they arrived in Tianjin, they were almost February. When they were in Tianjin Port, they heard that Guangning had suffered a crushing defeat, and everyone sighed.

After loading two ships of cargo in Tianjin, the food and fresh water were replenished in mid-February, and then set off from Tianjin Port and headed straight for Hirado.

Since both ships were bought, the original owner was also a powerful official in Tianjin. Military officers like Zheng Qian were very caring for them, and Yusheng also gave everyone a lot of money, and everything went very smoothly.

The two ships were one large and one small. The largest was the Tianchengwei, carrying a load of more than 100 tons, and the smallest was the Xinpingbao, with a load capacity of only 60 tons. The two ships were traveling along the ocean currents and arrived at Hirado Port in early March.

After unloading the goods, Li Guozhu took the remaining entourage to see Li Dan, and Chang Wei and others naturally settled them in the house.

After hearing Li Guozhu's words, Li Dan sighed and said, "I just regret that I am the elders and cannot go to Datong in person to meet the strange man you are talking about."

Li Dan said again: "This person is a genius among our businessmen, and his future achievements are unlimited."

If Li Dan praised others like this, Li Guozhu would definitely feel sad. He did not have this kind of emotion towards Zhang Han. Maybe people are like this. They have achieved success similarly to themselves and will inevitably be jealous in their hearts. Once they feel that other people's intelligence is far superior to themselves, the jealousy will naturally be eliminated. Li Guozhu's feeling towards Zhang Han is like this. He has no sense of superiority in front of Zhang Han. As time goes by, the deeper his respect for Zhang Han. In the end, the subtle comparison and jealousy have disappeared without a trace, and all that is left is friendship and admiration.

"It seems that it's right to ask you to go to Datong..." Li Dan smiled. At this moment, Li Guozhu felt that his father was really old. Not only were there wrinkles on his face very deep, but his face was not very good.

"Father, are you very tired lately?"

"No." Li Dan Youran said, "Look, I don't look very good? It's been like this for a long time, but I think I will have a few years to live. I can see you and Zhang Han cooperate to strengthen my Li family and be able to protect the foundation I created. I have no fear of death in my heart. On the contrary, what I feared before was that you can't keep all this, and you will still be because of this foundation. Now, I feel much more at ease..."

"Father..." Li Guozhu choked and said, "Please don't say such things."

"Are you a fool..." Li Dan smiled and said, "You are also a parent. When you get old in the future and think about the situation of being a father today, you will be able to truly understand it."

Li Guozhu nodded silently, and Li Dan said: "Do you want to take He Yusheng's people to Taiwan?"

"Yes, I plan to ask them to rest for a while, adjust their bodies and leave."

Li Dan said: "They northerners, for the first time, were so far away, so they naturally couldn't stand it. They asked the Japanese to send doctors to use some good supplements to nourish their health."

Li Guozhu naturally answered yes. Li Dan smiled and said, "Call the cousin named Zhang Han and the one who called Chang Wei in the evening. Jiang Kui also called them. In two days, I will meet them again for them. After they have rested, I will go to Taiwan with them."

"Why did my father go like this again? It's too hard to go at sea."

"Hmph," Li Dan snorted coldly and said, "I recently received news that the red-haired men are uneasy again. It seems that they have plans to build a city with senior officials. Once the city is built, the entire Taiwan and Penghu will be unstable. I think as long as I live for one day, they don't want to do such things!"

Of course, Li Dan is talking about the Dutch, which is the representative of the Netherlands in Asia, the Dutch East India Company.

After the failure to covet Taiwan and Penghu during the Wanli period, as its strength grew, it seemed that the Dutch began to be ready again.

Li Guozhu said: "As long as my father is still there, no matter which country it is, I don't want to seek a bargain on the South China Sea."

Li Dan glanced at his son, and there was no shortage of disappointment in his eyes, but he still showed a gentle smile on his face and said to Li Guozhu: "From the future, it will be up to you and Zhang Han. You two will work hard. In the next fifty years, Nanyang will still be the territory of our Han people."

...

One evening in mid-April, Tabuang and his group entered Banshengcheng again.

Tabunang saw the green vegetable field outside the city, and many Han people were busy among the fields. This was the busiest time of the year. The Mongolians looked a little weird. The food and vegetables in the fields were all what they needed, but at this time, they might be destroying everything in front of them... Destroying these is no more than plundering the Ming Kingdom in the south. This is the harvest of destroying themselves.

These people who are used to taking pride in destruction finally feel pain deep in their hearts.

This time, Tabunang entered the city publicly in the name of an envoy, and he was taken directly to Sun Jingting.

"Acheng Taiji and Dahan are really interesting. If you have something, you can't ask an elder to pass it on. However, you sent a sharp whistle of Kong Wushan to pass it on." Sun Jingting was wearing a green long gown and looked calm. He said to Tabu Nang: "If you have something, please just say it."

Tabunn said: "The Khan has an order. He Yusheng Han people who were in Qingcheng and He Yusheng and all the Han people who were promoted to the land will withdraw. The business roads in the west and north will be closed. He Yusheng will not continue to trade on the grassland and build forts. If He Yusheng does not accept the Khan's order, he will be severely punished."

Sun Jingting said: "I sent someone to send a message a month ago, asking to see Dahan. Will Dahan reply?"

Tabunang said proudly: "Da Khan will not see you. The order I just said is the final decision. Now I want to listen to your reply and bring the message back."
