Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 240 Going South to Taicang
Jiannu fled thousands of miles away, the rebels disappeared, and the southwestern rebels were about to be wiped out. Daming was about to see peace everywhere.

At this time, the foreign messenger Carlinio is here again!

Taichang couldn't help but be delighted to receive the express report from the Fujian Shipping Department.

This guy is here, which proves that the Spanish ocean-going fleet is coming!
The Spanish ocean-going fleet is coming, which proves that a large amount of rubber and copper will be shipped over.

These are the key materials for Daming to become strong!
After Taichang finished reading the newspaper, Dang even said loudly to the door: "Sun Yuanhua, the right servant of the Ministry of Communication."

Not long after, Sun Yuanhua hurried over.

After paying respects to the monarchs and ministers, Taichang asked directly, "Chuyang, how is the casting of the five-hundred-jin and one-thousand-jin Thunder God Cannons going?"

Sun Yuanhua said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it's still close. In half a month, the casting of two hundred Thor cannons will definitely be completed."

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, it doesn't matter, there is still time in half a month. You first take fifty five-hundred-jin and fifty one-thousand-jin to Haishen Port, and help General Qi install the battery for a test shot Come back."

Sun Yuanhua hastily cupped his hands and said, "My minister obeys the order."

After that, he bowed and left.

But Taichang raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute, you go and tell General Qi that the Spanish ocean-going fleet may be arriving soon, and when the time comes, he will put out all [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and pretend to greet them grandly. Give them food and fresh water directly, and it’s okay if they want to go ashore, but don’t let them bring any weapons ashore, let alone let them get close to the Thunder God Cannon for a closer look. "

Sun Yuanhua hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

The next step is to prepare for the "grand" reception of the foreign envoys.

When Carinho came to Daming again, he was in a very good mood. He didn't even feel tired at all after riding a horse non-stop for more than ten days. Instead, he felt high-spirited.

Because the contract he signed last time was rewarded by His Majesty the King, he was promoted to Vice Admiral. This is the prelude to being promoted to Overseas Governor!

As long as this deal is successful according to the peace agreement and the sought-after goods from the Ming Empire are transported back to the mainland, his coveted position as governor of Luzon will basically be secured.

So, this time, he took the initiative to invite Ying again, and personally went to the Ming Empire to preside over the transaction.

This is the key to his promotion, and he certainly doesn't want any problems.

And the key to this key is His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire!

When he saw Taichang again, he was so respectful, even more respectful than meeting his own king.

It was the meeting hall of the Wenhua Palace that Taichang met Carlinio, and he was accompanied by all his trusted and important ministers, and even Chen Siming followed Carlinio as an interpreter.

Because Taichang felt that this kid was not bad, instead of letting this kid come to the capital to sit idle in the Ministry of Rites, it is better to let him stay in Luzon and act as the person in charge of spying on various intelligence.

Of course, he also promised a higher reward.

At this moment, Chen Siming is already the sixth-rank officer of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he helps Daming take Luzon again, he can at least be promoted to the fifth-rank councilor, and he will stay in Luzon.

Chen Siming was naturally grateful and tried his best to be loyal.

Carinho didn't know that the guy who always fawned on him after he went back was already an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

After the two parties greeted each other, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "Your Majesty, our ocean-going fleet from New Spain is estimated to arrive within a month."

Sure enough, the ocean-going fleet came.

OK!

Taichang is also very excited, 1000 barrels of rubber, [-] million catties of copper, as long as they have these supplies, the strength of the Daming Navy will increase rapidly.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded slightly and said: "Well, I have ordered people to build the two ports for you. The rubber, rubber tree seeds and copper you promised are no problem."

Carinho nodded again and again: "It should be no problem. I have reported this matter to our King, and I believe there will be no mistakes."

That's good.

Taichang pretended to be calm and said calmly: "These goods should not be unloaded at the Poseidon Port in the north. There is no place for making shoes or minting coins there. You can let them directly transport them to the Taicang Port in the south."

Carinho nodded, and then asked cautiously: "I wonder if the goods His Majesty the Emperor promised us last time are ready."

Do you still need to prepare for that?

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, everything I promised you will be shipped to Taicang Port, and then we can just trade directly."

It should be fine now.

Carinho said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please send someone to take me to Poseidon Port, because our fleet has never been to Poseidon Port, and they only know the approximate location, so we have to ask you to clarify it by then." The imperial navy sent some small paddle boats scattered around the port to help me guide the ocean-going fleet into the port."

This is naturally no problem, but fortunately, what this guy wants is not a large sailboat to go to sea.

If this guy needs a bunch of large sailboats to go to sea, it is estimated that the Daming Navy will show his secrets, because the Daming Navy will not have a few big blessing ships that can go to sea.

Taichang still nodded slightly and said: "OK, no problem, when are you going to leave?"

Carinho said without hesitation: "Why don't you go now."

This guy is hardworking.

Taichang pretended to be concerned and said: "After driving for so many days, don't you want to rest for a few days before setting off? Poseidon Port is still two or three thousand miles away."

Carinho shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, it's better to go there early to prepare, or I will be in trouble when the ocean-going fleet arrives and I haven't arrived yet."

Fine.

Taichang directly said to Liu Shiyou, who was beside Gongli: "Go, let Luo Sigong gather a hundred Jinyi guards, prepare 250 fast horses, and escort the Fanbang envoy to Sea God Port."

Soon, Luo Sigong prepared everything to return to his command.

After Taichang sent Carlinio away, he immediately said to Luo Sigong: "Send the clippers to inform Yuan Keli and Qi Jin that all the wheels, boats and ships over there should be docked at Luojin Port, and the foreign envoys should not see it. In addition, You also prepare, call a thousand Jinyiwei, and follow me to Taicang Port."

He still had to go there for the first time to trade with the Spaniards. After all, the officials there didn't have much experience in dealing with foreign barbarians, and he had to go there for a big deal.

He thought for a while, and then issued an order: "Decree, order Ma Shilong to lead [-] guards to escort the rebel prisoners of Wupingwei, go to Yunyang, pick up the more than [-] rebel prisoners there, and then go together Escorted to Qiongzhou Mansion."

This time the seeds of the rubber tree should have arrived. Even if they didn’t, it would be better if the captives went there to grow some food to support themselves. The more than [-] captives didn’t know how much food they would consume just eating porridge a day.

After arranging everything, he was ready to go to Taicang Port.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the news that he was going south to Taicang Port spread, the Xin Wang Zhu Youjian ran over and begged: "Father, please take me to Nanzhili."

This kid just can't stay idle.

Taichang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about the affairs of the bank?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head again and again and said: "At this moment we have recruited enough accountants, and there should be no problem with the head of the state in the capital. By the way, father, didn't you say that you want to open Taicang Port, and Fanbang Do you want to do business in the country, there must be a semi-colon of the Ming Dynasty Bank there, and the son-in-law has gone, and he can handle the semi-colon by the way."

That's right, there must be a branch of the Daming Bank at Taicang Port!
Taichang nodded again and again: "Well, you are right, there must be a semi-colon of the bank over there, all right, you go and prepare, and set off with me tomorrow morning."

When Zhu Youjian heard this, he couldn't help but went happily.
