    Zhu Houzhao's face was stained with red light.

    The efforts of these few months were almost in vain.

    It can even be said that since the development and improvement of ironclad ships began ten years ago, there has been no waste.

    Any science, by its nature, needs to be promoted by interests. There is never anything in the world that promotes for the sake of promotion.

    The essence of this great victory has made the emperor realize deep down that the so-called science is the foundation.

    There is nothing in this world that is more profitable than science.

    Zhu Houzhao patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder.

    Fang Jifan sighed and stood there, maintaining a good image and wiping his hair.

    This is a historic moment. He winked at the eunuch who was living aside. The eunuch immediately cheered up, took out a piece of bamboo and picked up his pen.

    Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty personally came to the front line of fire, fought fiercely with the traitors for three hundred days, defeated the traitors, and destroyed the Spanish and Portuguese fleets. After that, our Ming Dynasty has no rivals in the four seas, and I am not talented. I followed your Majesty in east and west campaigns, and traveled thousands of miles.  Although I have no ability to strategize, I still have the ambition to win a thousand-mile victory. In this battle, I personally fired the cannon and sank countless pirate ships. I can be considered worthy of the lintel of the Fang family and worthy of the heroes of our ancestors. Now we fight to the death, thanks to your majesty, we will be blessed with great blessings.  , I entrust the officers and soldiers to be loyal and brave. We, the successor of the vassal, have no merit. Now, I am determined to recite a poem to cheer up. This poem you will leave it blank for now, and you can fill it in when the Lord of the country remembers it. "

    The eunuch who recorded this trembled his hand and subconsciously felt It seemed that this was not in line with the operation!

    So, he cautiously raised his head and glanced at Fang Jifan, then lowered his head hurriedly, but said tremblingly: "I wonder whether the poem that the Lord recited has five rhymes or seven rhymes?"

    Fang Jifan was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then said angrily: "You bitch, how can you talk so much?"

    The eunuch was frightened and said hurriedly: "Thisisn't this a blank space? My servantmy servant can determine the spaces according to the Five and Seven Rules."

    Huh?  Can it still be like this?

    Fang Jifan suddenly felt that each of the ancient people was very extraordinary. They all seemed to be capable people. Fang Jifan had never expected this. It can be seen that every other line is like a mountain!

    So Fang Jifan was open-minded and eager to learn, and said, "You can make up your own mind and keep some more. You may not be able to write two or three poems when the country's public poetry becomes popular."

    ????????????????????????????????? I am who I am, and Fang Jifan does not seek false fame, otherwise we, Fang Jifan, will write thirty thousand poems, and teach me that there will be no more poets after Fang Jifan.

    Since it is a big victory, there is no need to celebrate.

    On the ship, a brief celebration party was held.

    Immediately, the casual sailing ship began to supply the ironclad ship.

    These accompanying sailing ships carry a large amount of ammunition, fresh water and coal. It is meaningless to expect them to engage the enemy. However, they can be used as assistance, but they still have some capabilities.

    After replenishing supplies, the accompanying wooden warships began to collect the spoils, check the prisoners, and tally the results. Then, the ironclads began to set off, heading to the Northern Province in accordance with Zhu Houzhao's order.

    Now, the Ottoman, Spanish and Portuguese navies have all been destroyed.

    Nowadays, the ships that can still float on the continent of Europe and North Africa are almost all old ships, or some merchant ships that can only carry cargo. At best, they are only converted into armed merchant ships, but in real warships  In front of him, he was almost vulnerable.

    Thereforethe entire ocean has become the inner lake of the Ming Dynasty.

    You can go wherever you want, without even having to formulate an elaborate strategy.

    "The next stepis to arrive in the Northern Province, use this Northern Province as the fulcrum, and start to establish a new order.

    When dozens of ironclad ships slowly passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, the Spanish in the port noticed this uninvited guest because it was daytime.

    It¡¯s a pity that they can only look back and sigh.

    Fang Jifan stood on the side of the ship, waved to them warmly, and greeted their relatives. However, these people could only look through telescopes, and then looked at the fleet in confusion as it slowly passed by.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In total, Northern Province has experienced six years of war.

    In the past six years, countless enemies have come and gone like a tide.

    At first, the Dutch were still numb.

    But as the enemy became more and more anxious, the originally knightly war began to become ruthless.

    They always have a strategy?, they started killing, and no grass grew where they had spoken.

    In order to completely cut off the supplies of the Han army, they even sprinkled sea salt on the land during their retreat, robbed every livestock, and burned down all the houses that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

    Sothe originally indifferent Frisians and Dutch suddenly became angry.

    They joined the Han army without hesitation and were united.

    The Frisian infantry regiment and the Dutch infantry regiment can even hold on to a fortress for a year and a half.

    Now in this land, the number of Han troops is around 6,000, but the locals in the Netherlands can recruit a regular regiment of 11,000 people and 60,000 to 70,000 auxiliary troops.

    Butthe steady stream of coalition forces is countless. After six years and bloody battles again and again, the entire Northern Province has reached the end of its rope.

    Food was almost exhausted. Only the fleet broke through the blockade and occasionally purchased some food from Britain. Productivity was greatly damaged, so that the land failed to harvest on a large scale.

    Liu Wenshan implemented the rationing law here.

    During the war, all food must be distributed uniformly. Each soldier's daily ration and each citizen's daily ration must be calculated carefully, and not a single grain of food must be wasted easily.

    Tang Yin and Qi Jingtong took the fleet to look for food everywhere, and even turned the ships into fishing boats.

    It¡¯s a pity that there are no large yellow croakers here, so the experience in Ningbo has become useless here.

    As the governor, Wang Xizuo began to slowly become more and more comfortable.

    It¡¯s just thatthe daily fighting was like a noose, making him feel suffocated all the time.

    "Escape from desperate situations again and again made the local Dutch and Frisian people recognize the governor. The local businessmen and nobles also believed that Wang Xizuo and themselves were one.

    These daysthe offensive has obviously begun to slow down.

    The remaining half of the northern province finally began to breathe a sigh of relief.

    But the deadly winter is coming.

    Food is still not available.

    People had to eat baked black bread, which was as hard as stone and required hard work with a sharp knife to cut it off piece by piece.

    Then, put small pieces into your mouth, and slowly soften the hard bread with saliva before you can swallow it.

    All the tea leaves are gone.

    So Liu Wenshan, Tang Yin, Qi Jingtong, and Jiang Chen had no choice but to regard white water as tea, imitate drinking tea, and drink white water slowly.

    Liu Wenshan is lucky. His teapot is made of red sandalwood. He has been brewing tea for a long time. Even if he pours boiled water into it, he can still feel the fragrance of tea.

    Since then, the senior brothers always take turns drinking tea from his teapot when they feel craving for tea.

    And Liu Wenshan has a good temper, so he can only keep silent.

    "Winter is coming, and today in the city, people actually cut bark from trees to satisfy their hunger. We are afraid that we will run out of food, and I don't knowwhether the British businessmen will come with food as promised, hey  If this continues, I'm really worried that I won't be able to survive this winter." Tang Yin said quietly, looking very worried.

    When I came to Northern Province, I just realized that the environment here is very dangerous, and now it is obvious that there is nothing we can do!

    Liu Wenshan originally planned to go to France as an envoy, but the French made up their minds and watched the fight between tigers and tigers without wavering.

    "It's another year, and the New Year is coming soon." Suddenly, Qi Jingtong sighed.

    It¡¯s the Chinese New Year

    It¡¯s just that these few words suddenly seemed to touch everyone¡¯s heart, and they actually

    The few people who were sitting here in silence suddenly their eyes became moist.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
