Chapter 139: Conquering the Four Seas
Mr. Zhao's face turned pale and he immediately said, "This... how can this be fake?"
"How come there is no false?" Zhao Tuhuo felt more and more reasonable what he said just now, and continued to politely say: "I have brothers in the army. How could I not know about the affairs in the army? For example, there are some things that require sacrifices, and some are to calm people's hearts. Look at the bandits in the past few years, they were not suppressed or suppressed, but they also said it was a great victory every now and then, but if they were really suppressed, where would there be so many great victory?"
Everyone listened to it and thought that the butcher Zhao said it very well, which made many people even more worried.
The atmosphere is almost the same in the city and outside the city. This is actually the story of the wolf coming. Everyone has been fooled so they no longer believe it.
The atmosphere of fear was not diluted by this good news. However, at this time, when the good news was sent to the Tongzheng Department, the Tongzheng Department immediately sent it to the palace. Several worried scholars were still arranged matters about Pingjin in the cabinet. Otherwise, the stumbling eunuch rushed in and said, "Great victory, great victory..."
Hearing these two words, the people in the cabinet were startled, and even some clerks came out. Everyone stared at the eunuch rushing in. Although he was panting, he couldn't hide his smile and said, "The victory is coming. Your Majesty and the Duke of Zhenguo led the new army of Zhenguo to block the demon soldiers outside Tianjin City, and three thousand demon soldiers were defeated..."
Liu Jian stepped forward and took the lead in snatching the memorial. He hurriedly looked down and took a look. When he saw it, he couldn't help but take a breath.
It was a real victory. This was written by Ye Chunqiu. Liu Jian might not believe others' words, but Ye Chunqiu would not play any tricks on it. Moreover, there was an emperor by his side. This means that this matter was a foregone conclusion and was confirmed.
Liu Jian felt his body trembling and could not control it. He continued to read the words in the newspaper in a flash, looking at the vivid description of all the stories inside.
The Zhenguo New Army fought a decisive battle with the demon soldiers. Both sides used muskets. The demon soldiers relied on the large number of people to attack. In the end, the Zhenguo New Army turned the tide. In this battle, more than 2,000 enemies were killed, countless injured people, and a large number of demon soldiers and sailors were captured. The leader Alfonso was captured and had been taken into custody, and countless ships were intercepted. The Zhenguo New Army injured forty-three people and one died.
Although I believe that Ye Chunqiu will not lie, this... this good news seems not very true to Liu Jian. He can believe that the new army in Zhenguo fought bloody battles and won the victory after more than half of the deaths. He can also believe that there are only a few hundred demon soldiers, and then defeated by the new army in Zhenguo. This demon soldier defeated tens of thousands of troops in Quanzhou, and there were three thousand people. How could it be so vulnerable?
He searched hard for every word inside, hoping to see a flaw from it, or he would rather hope that Ye Chunqiu would have traces of making achievements, or that his contribution was not so great. This is not because he was jealous of Ye Chunqiu or wanted to suppress something, but in his cognition, the victory of the new army in the country was too "unreal". Could it be that this good news is true and false?
But it doesn't look like it...
Liu Jian suddenly thought hard and found that there was no result. However, the only thing that made him breathe a sigh of relief was that His Majesty was still alive... as long as he was alive.
Liu Jian's mood was a little complicated and his expression was a little stiff. In the end, he handed over the memorial to Xie Qian and others to read.
When Xie Qian and the others saw it, they found it incredible. Is this credit exaggerated? They suddenly had the same complex mood as Liu Jian, and they couldn't predict the war process mentioned in the report. After all, this was beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding, but...
Now that I am sure that Your Majesty is safe, this is definitely a great joy. Xie Qian took the lead and said hurriedly: "Come here, report this good news to the Queen Mother immediately... and go quickly."

Ye Chunqiu, who didn't know what was going on in the capital, finally recovered a lot after a rest, and he felt the great gift he saw as a Franchise man, so he personally boarded the ship anchored in Tanggu.
For Ye Chunqiu, these ships may not be enough to surprise him with themselves from later generations. However, Zhu Houzhao, who came together, was shocked by the big ship. He looked at everything on the ship excitedly, his eyes shining, and he couldn't stop smiling: "It turns out that the real sea ship looks like this, ha... I thought it was like the ship in the Taiye Pool, interesting, really interesting..."
Ye Chunqiu was on the other side, stroking the side of the boat. There was a salty and wet smell on the boat. Well, it made people feel a little uncomfortable, but...
Ye Chunqiu admired the ability of these Portuguese man-made ships. He used pieces of wood to build such a giant and used it to fly thousands of miles to resist the storm. This is obviously the most advanced ship of this era, and no one, whether it was the Portuguese or the Spanish, they used such ships to conquer the world.
Now that he has truly boarded such a ship, Ye Chunqiu still feels a little excited. Looking at the mast on the ship, Ye Chunqiu said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, if these ships want to leave early, they must choose suitable wood. They need to special treatment of the wood. After a few years, when the wood is ready, they will be spliced, and each place is required to be well-equipped."
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaim: "It's such a trouble."
"Yes." Ye Chunqiu continued: "Do your Majesty still remember the map of all nations that I gave to your Majesty?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded. This time he really believed Ye Chunqiu and believed everything. He saw the Battle of Tianjin in person. He was really relieved and happy to see those Franchise men being beaten to the point of falling flowers.
At this time, Ye Chunqiu said again: "If Your Majesty really wants to pacify the Japanese and want to make this under the world kingly land, you must leave these ships. Otherwise, even if the Ming Dynasty builds ships now and launches the first batch of ships, it will be a few years later."
Zhu Houzhao thoughtfully and said, "I understand that this time, it has really taught me a great lesson. My seaside is like a nobody. Japanese pirates come when they come, and Franji people can come. In the future, I want to build a naval army. No, it is really a dream to expect these Japanese garrisons to build a naval army. This matter can only be done by the Zhenguo New Army. I am the major shareholder. I will take the lead. These ships were seized by the Zhenguo New Army, so I will give them to the Zhenguo New Army."
