    "No mention of alliance?"

    Fang Xing received the news when he returned to the capital, and then went to the Ministry of Rites.

    "Yes, they just mentioned trade and alliance. They knew that Ming Dynasty was not keen on it, so that was it."

    Hu Hui had already met with the envoys from the Three Kingdoms, and he also asked many tentative questions.

    "They are as keen on trade as businessmen, and they are also tentatively asking if they can buy a few ships in Daming. This is funny."

    Hu Xi smiled and said: "They thought that we didn't know their wishful thinking, so I declined directly. As for the alliance, the Plantagenet envoy said yesterday that the king can only make the decision after asking for instructions."

    Ming¡¯s alliance!

    Fang Xing and Hu Xi smiled at each other and said, "They don't deserve it. People can't help but admire Hong Bao's performance in the West. He made the Ming Dynasty famous throughout the West, but it brought a disadvantage  "

    "The Westerners are afraid of us!" Fang Xing felt helpless, "But Ming will not be afraid of their reaction."

    Hu Xi nodded in agreement with this judgment and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty. That way we can save ourselves from beating them. Think about it. To beat them, our navy has to set off from the Ming Dynasty to Taixi. Let's go back and forth without saying anything.  Two years is too much."

    "The profit will be greater." Fang Xing said: "Taixi is eager to trade with the Ming Dynasty. To them, the Ming Dynasty's goods are used by gods. With one transaction, the Ming Dynasty can obtain manyMore  What matters is plundering their wealth.¡±

    "But I know that you, Uncle Xinghe, are not just people who only care about profit. The Taixi people are very ambitious. According to Hong Bao, they are not willing to be trapped there, and the meat fans are not easy to fight. Most likely,  Or take the sea route.

    But the Ming Dynasty is also expanding at sea. In this case, sooner or later everyone will have conflicts, ranging from quarrels to swords and guns, and finally a nationwide war That is not far away.  "

    Fang Xing entered the palace and asked to see Zhu Zhanji. When he saw the big map hanging in the room, and when Zhu Zhanji looked at Taixi, he asked, "Don't you think something is right?"

    Zhu Zhanji turned sideways and said: "Those Taixi people are wild and untamable. Our fleet comes to visit us. They are panicking. What will happen?"

    ¡°Be prepared for a rainy day!¡±

    Fang Xingxing wanted to talk about this issue. He walked to the map, traced his finger along the Long Bay, and said: "The Taixi people have never been able to find the route. Their desire to expand is so hot that it can burn this sea area, so I  It is concluded that they are taking action.¡±

    Zhu Zhanji touched his short beard, his eyes wandered around the map, and finally settled on Taixi.

    He pointed at Lisbon with his finger and said: "They have a prince here, and this prince is the most determined in navigation and foreign exploration, and he is also the presiding officer What is he here for?"

    His eyes were cold, and Fang Xing said: "Henry should have come to spy on the Ming Dynasty, especially the ship construction, but Hong Bao was smart and threw them onto the grain ship, and sealed them in the cabin below the deck all the way  "

    Zhu Zhanji said: "They don't gain much. At most they have a vague understanding of the Ming Dynasty. What do you thinkshould we raise them or send them back?"

    Fang Xing coughed dryly, and then said, "If they can't go back, Taixi will become a mortal enemy of us."

    Zhu Zhanji said disdainfully: "Are we still afraid of this?"

    Fang Xing pointed at the meat fan and said, "But we still have to pay attention here. If there are big enemies in both directions, I won't worry about a big defeat. I'm just hesitant about money and food."

    "A militancy?"

    Zhu Zhanji said with a headache: "Two sides start a war at the same time. The cost will make Xia Yuanji hang himself immediately. I, the emperor, will probably become a tyrant in the future."

    "The cost in Jinling is very high now. The construction of warships has just begun, and the cost will be even greater in the future. Xia Yuanji has already hinted that I should not do anything expensive in the past few years. I said, these days  The palace spends money as frugally as possible and has as few people as possible. When the maids reach their age, they are dismissed and go home. In the palace"

    The expenses in the palace are indeed not small, but most of them are spent on people.

    No matter how good the emperor's family is, they can only spend so much, so streamlining the manpower in the palace is the right way to go.

    "The feudal king is also a waste, but if it is safe overseas, it will not be a problem, so in the final analysis, the navy is the key."

    Originally, the Ming Dynasty¡¯s fleet was divided into two. One was the voyage fleet commanded by Zheng He. This fleet was large in scale and the most powerful.

    And the other branch is the water under Fu Xian's command.?The fleet mainly cruises offshore and also combats smuggling.

    The two fleets are currently unified, but according to the plan, they will be divided into several fleets in the future, each with different responsibilities.

    ??The goal of reorganizing the Navy has actually been Taixi from the beginning.

    Fang Xing looked at Shaolong Bay and said: "The Taixi people are not fools. They will definitely follow Hongbao's fleet from a distance. If they go close to the coast, they have to pass through Shaolong Bay and then turn around. For them,  It¡¯sthe new world"

    ¡­¡­

    In the hall, Doc wanted to go back to China.

    There were only three people and the interpreter in the room. A pot of tea was in the middle of the table, and three cups of tea were steaming, delicately.

    Doc smelled the fragrance of the tea and said intoxicatedly: "This is a gift from God. The king must be willing to exchange it for the same weight of silver."

    Henry glanced at the blank Abel and said: "We came here just to see the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Staying in Peking now seems to be a waste of time"

    Henry agreed to Doc¡¯s proposal to return home, leaving Abel alone.

    Doc saw that Abel seemed to be in a daze, so he sneered: "Don't think that the Ming people will regard Frank as an ally. The earl doesn't take you seriously, and the Ming emperor doesn't take you seriously either. How can you  The ally we had been chatting with for so long is gone! Gone!¡±

    Abel moved a little, but was not angry. He just murmured: "Their ship needs to be inspected, so why are you anxious?"

    Well¡­¡­

    Embarrassment immediately made Henry turn his head, thinking that he, a dignified sailing pioneer, would actually make such a stupid mistake. It would be really shameful if word spread!

    Doc smelled the tea again and sneered: "Don't they have a few ships? There will be a few more ships."

    Abel raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid there will be more than a few ships!"

    Doc was shocked and asked, "Do they want to send a huge fleet?"

    Henry nodded and said: "The last one was a small fleet. They said they were envoys, but they were actually exploring the waterway, so they were very vigilant."

    "That's right."

    Abel leaned back, his chair tilted up and down, "Dock, next time they go, they will shock the whole of Tessie, yes."

    With a pop, the front legs of the chair fell to the ground. Abel's body swayed and he said seriously: "I bet that when they go back for the second time, that's when they show their fangs. What should we do?"

    The atmosphere was a bit solemn, but Henry was very relaxed.

    "Henry, you are an experienced sailor, tell me, what should we do?"

    Doc looked a little worried, but Abel continued to be in a daze.

    "Stop pretending!"

    Henry looked at them and said: "I bet that after knowing that Akito arrived in Taixi from the new route, both of you were thinking about exploring this route, so what are you pretending to do?"

    Seeing that there was still no embarrassment on the faces of Doc and Abel, he said coldly: "You have joined forces, right?"

    Abel and Doc looked at him expressionlessly.

    Henry sneered: "It's true, yes! Compared with those territories, the New World is obviously fat swan meat, waiting for you to occupy it and then harvest wealth"

    Doc responded calmly: "Isn't there one in Lisbon?"

    Abel also said: "Maybe your people are the fastest. Maybe you have discovered the channel and are searching for a new world at the moment."

    Henry picked up the tea cup, took a sip slowly, closed his eyes, and seemed to be savoring it.

    After a long time, he sighed: "So many good things!"

    "yes¡­¡­"

    "That's right" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
