Chapter 360
Ships come and go from the harbor.

After seeing Zhu Laosi's naval battleship, they all lowered their sails, slowed down, and blew their horns in salute.

The sound of the horn alarmed the whole area, and all kinds of seabirds that had never been seen before flew up from the forest on the coast.

Prosperity, vitality...

These words appear in everyone's mind.

Huang Zicheng became a little thinner. After two days of sailing at sea, he finally realized that the sea was not a place for people at all.

Vomit till the end.

I almost vomited all my bile.

During this period, he once felt that it would be great for His Majesty to 'exile' Zhu Silang to a place like this.

Everyone has already seen Zhu Silang's land combat capabilities.

If Zhu Silang is sealed on land.

For Daming, the hidden danger is even greater!

But now...

……

The warship slowly sailed into the bay from the entrance between the two mountains.

At the pier, people come and go.

On the shore, there are many houses.

On the beach, a group of children chased and played.

Thousands of seabirds flew up and down in fright.

Such a fairyland on earth, the imperial court would be at a huge loss if it were handed over to Zhu Silang!
Losing big!
Your Majesty is confused!
Huang Zicheng shouted loudly in his heart.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Attention.

The warship docked slowly in the navy's exclusive berthing waters.

……

Shen Zhi stood next to Yu Jing, looking at the water fortress that had begun to extend into the depths of the bay, "Now you still dare to say that Mr. Jiang is not authentic? The manpower on the island is so tight, but your naval water fortress has begun construction..."

The water village was built.

The navy officers and soldiers can be on duty on the water stronghold.

Ordinary merchant ships will be warned immediately if they approach the no-navigation zone designated by the water village.

It is even less likely that the enemy wants to disguise himself as a merchant ship and attack the prince's naval warship.

Yu Jing grinned, "Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek lost dozens of kilograms of meat for our navy, I have to treat him to a drink when he comes back this time."

……

Fang Xiaoru stood not far away, listening to the conversation between the two.

I envy this atmosphere.

Maybe it’s King Yan’s personality charm.

Maybe it’s also because of the early days of starting a business.

He came into contact with this group of people under King Yan, and the atmosphere of getting along with each other was very comfortable.

"Old Jiang!"

Yu Jing interrupted Fang Xiaoru's thoughts with an exaggerated shout.

He looked in the direction of Yu Jing's beckoning hand.

Fang Xiaoru's eyes suddenly widened...

Heck!
Is this definitely Jiang Jinzhong?
You have lost too much weight!

King Yan made a triumphant return to the grassland, and he also met Jiang Jinzhong. In just a few years, Jiang Jinzhong had changed so much!

When in Jiangning.

He was once proud that Jiang Ning had undergone great changes under his leadership.

But when I came to Fujian, I met old acquaintances.

Only then did I realize that things have changed even more here.

People got off the boat one after another.

Zhu Di asked: "Jinzhong, not only are there an observation group but also many powerful businessmen coming together this time. Have the accommodation been arranged?"

Jiang Jinzhong patted his chest and promised: "Your Highness, the arrangements have been made. Many of the shops built on the coast have not yet been sold. I temporarily added some furniture and arranged these merchants here to let them see our shops and warehouses. Then we will sell them. When the time comes, you can sell it at a good price!”

Zhu Di was amused by Fatty Jiang.

Being poor is changing.

Not only is he poor.

Fatty Jiang, the civil servant in charge of the people on Jilong Island, was so poor that his eyes were red and he wanted to rob.

It is clear that the powerful merchants who followed this time were treated as fat sheep.

Nod.

Then he turned to Lan Yu and said, "Yongchang Marquis, please come with us to stay in Jilongyu Mansion. The conditions there are better. From the looks of it, I don't think we will go visit today and have a good rest. Next, I will take you Take a good visit, there are many places to see on Jilong Island, not only the First Army Town, the shipyard, and the firearms workshop..."

Now that they are here, he is willing to take them to see the whole Dongfan.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying smiled and nodded: "We've come to Jilong Island. This is the prince's territory. We follow the prince's arrangements."

Zhu Di smiled.

I understand the goodwill expressed by the two of them by saying, 'This is the prince's territory'.

to be frank.

Hongwu nine years.

Even Hongwu ten years.

He never thought that Lan Yu would change so much.

The entire Ming Dynasty has changed.

Things change.

People are changing too.

His butterfly wings have changed the original development trajectory of Ming Dynasty beyond recognition.

He couldn't even refer to it.

From now on, we can only keep our goals unchanged, stick to our strategic determination, and adapt to changes.

Zhu Di took the observation group back home.

Someone took the merchants to the shop opposite.

A group of businessmen looked at Jilong Island and kept talking.

"The atmosphere under King Yan's rule feels different from our Ming Dynasty. Do you feel this way? Is it my misunderstanding?"

"It's not an illusion, I feel the same way."

"I don't know, what do we need to prepare for us to settle down here?"

"Why, Brother Liu wants to move his family to East Fan?"

"It's hard to leave our homeland, and the whole family has never thought about it, but we want to arrange for some of our legitimate second sons and concubines to come here. In the future, King Yan will clear the world, and your majesty's love for King Yan and sea trade will provide the court with generous business taxes. There is a high probability that His Majesty will fully lift the maritime ban. By then, Dongfan’s geographical advantage, in the words of King Yan, is its location advantage will become even more obvious. Dongfan will definitely be extremely rich!"

"In Dongfan, King Yan will definitely implement the employee-share system in an all-round way."

"What are you afraid of? Look at our colleagues in Fujian. Now many people in Fujian have begun to support the employment-share system."

"It's okay to say that Your Majesty is here. After all, Your Majesty is the father and King Yan is the son. The father must love his son, but he is afraid of the future..."

"What are you afraid of! Since we can't decide now, let's just wait and watch the Army's No. [-] town drill. After the Chinese New Year in Dongfan, we will follow to see the Navy suppress bandits!"

……

The powerful merchants decided in discussion.

After watching the Army's First Town drill.

I won’t go back to Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to celebrate the New Year.

I want to stay on Jilong Island and wait until after the Spring Festival to go out to sea to observe the actual combat of the Navy in suppressing bandits.

……

In Zhu Di's mansion.

There are enough houses here.

When it was originally built, offices and residences were taken into consideration.

Jiang Jinzhong racked his brains and discussed with the craftsmen to maximize the limited money.

The architectural style is mainly simple, grand and comfortable.

After arranging everyone to stay.

Everyone in the observation group gathered together in twos and threes.

After a break, discuss things.

Squeak!

The door of the blue jade room was pushed open.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying, who were talking, looked over and saw Zhu Xiongying walking over carrying a large wooden tray with many fruits and vegetables they had never seen before.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying stood up quickly, "Xiong Ying, why are you here to give these to us, where are the servants?"

As he spoke, Lan Yu hurriedly took the plate from Zhu Xiongying's hand.

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Lan Yu, who was making a fuss, and spread his hands and said: "Uncle, this is how we usually are. With the little salary of my fourth uncle, it is easy to support so many mouths. My uncle thinks it is easy. The manpower here on Jilong Island is particularly tight. Even the prisoners have various more important things..."

Not to mention Jilong Island.

It's Jian'an.

They do a lot of things themselves.

Fourth uncle even cooks for everyone when he has time.My uncle is used to being extravagant, so he would make such a fuss.

……

Lan Yu was dumbfounded by what Zhu Xiongying said.

He said secretly: "You, Zhu Laosi, taught Xiongying like this. Our Lan family and Chang family are all grateful to you!" '

If a hero lives in the East Palace.

There is no way it can be so open-minded!

What's more, Zhu Laosi really taught Xiongying a good job.

He didn't think that Xiongying could be as good as he is now if he stayed in the East Palace and was taught by those sour scholars.

Lan Yu rubbed an unknown fruit, handed it to Zhu Xiongying, and asked curiously: "Did your fourth uncle take you to see his new army in the first town of the army? Did he teach you the art of war?"

Zhu Xiongying sat on the stool.

Throwing the fruit back and forth with both hands, he nodded: "We have seen it. We can go wherever we want to on Jilong Island. The army and navy are important military areas and are dangerous places. If we want to go, we need to talk to Uncle Amao first. Say, then Uncle Amao will take us there..."

Lan Yu and Mu Ying listened.

Uncle Amao is definitely Mao Xiang.

Who would have thought that the former cold-faced leader of Jinyiwei would now turn into a shameless bastard next to Zhu Laosi.

And became the king of children?

"We often 'command' naval officers to practice shooting, and we often go to the army camp to practice shooting. My fourth uncle will teach us martial arts and the art of war whenever he has time."

……

"By the way, uncle, tomorrow you can go to the dock to observe and see the navy's latest improved warship. My fourth uncle captured Chen Zuyi's warship. It is the best and strongest, equipped with 24 cannons!"

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other in shock.

24 doors? !
When we came to Jilong Island, Zhu Laosi's flagship had only twelve artillery pieces.

It turns out that there are even warships equipped with 24 doors!

If all fifty warships were replaced with this kind of warship equipped with 24 guns.

At that time a salvo was fired.

There are six hundred guns on the port side!
Even the infantry of the Ming Dynasty never concentrated a salvo of [-] artillery pieces.

Do not!
Before going to sea.

They have participated in many wars, and the scenes of more than 100 artillery salvos are rare!

The popularity of artillery in the infantry is not as popular as that of firecrackers.

The main reason is that it is too big and too heavy.

If it is made small, the power is too little.

Zhu Laosi installed the Wu Dalang-style short black thick iron cannon on the warship.

To be honest, it can only be used on board.

In the infantry, it was too heavy.

……

Mu Ying thought of something and hurriedly inquired: "Great Sun, is your Highness the Army's No. [-] Town equipped with artillery?"

"Yes, I have!"

……

As Zhu Xiongying narrates.

Mu Ying and Lan Yu secretly looked at each other, wishing they could go to the army camp to observe.

……

Not far away in the next room.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng looked at the fruits and vegetables delivered by the girl named Cai Lu just now.

Huang Zicheng picked up one and asked, "How do you eat this?"

He had never seen it before and didn't know how to eat it.

"This Jilong Island is really a beautiful place. It's the twelfth lunar month now, look at here, there are so many kinds of wild fruits!"

"Your Majesty gave this blessed land to Zhu Silang, how foolish you are!"

……

The more Huang Zicheng talked, the more anxious he became.

"Be careful!" Qi Tai saw that Huang Zicheng's voice was getting louder and louder. He quickly reminded him and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please stop thinking about these things. When the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, Dongfan will also be developed. , Zhu Silang must have opened up new territories in other places. When the time comes, Zhu Silang will be asked to repay the court's support for him and move Dongfang..."

……

In contrast, the rest of the observation group were all discussing Dong Fan and Zhu Di.

After Fang Xiaoru arrived, he took Jiang Jinzhong to tell him about the changes in Jiangning.

To the end.

Fang Xiaoru said with emotion: "Brother Jiang, you are actually the person who has made the biggest change in Jiangning, but now I am taking advantage of you."

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Jiang Jinzhong.

Jiang Jinzhong smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Xizhi, the biggest contributor to Jiangning's changes is not me, but His Highness. You don't owe me, you owe His Highness!"

"Brother Xizhi will be promoted in the future. If anyone slanders the prince in front of the crown prince, I hope that brother Xizhi will speak up."

Fang Xiaoru was slightly surprised, "Brother Jiang is not going to serve the imperial court?"

He originally thought that Jiang Jinzhong was just here to help King Yan.

After all, Ming Dynasty has greater development prospects, right?
What's more, both his majesty and the prince hold Jiang Jinzhong in high regard.

Just based on Jiang Jinzhong's experience of serving as King of Yan and the skills he learned, he was better than many people in the court.

Although Jiang Jinzhong still has those old problems.

He said it himself just now, and he won’t change it!
And he said smugly: Your Highness likes my old habits.

It’s really a living treasure!
But similarly, today's Jiang Jinzhong is also a rare talent!

"Brother Jiang, the prince respects you very much..."

"Brother Xizhi." Jiang Jinzhong interrupted Fang Xiaoru, "Do you still remember the first time you met the Crown Prince..."

At that time, he didn't know that Mr. Zhu was King Yan.

At that time, the prince asked him: If there is a conflict between Gu and Mr. Zhu, who will you help?

At that time, he must have said that he was looking towards the prince!

Only a fool tells the truth in front of the prince.

Later, he discussed this issue with Zhou Lang.

The two of them unanimously decided that one day, they would secretly help Mr. Zhu escape, ostensibly towards the prince.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he and Zhou Lang all followed Mr. Zhu.

Now, he doesn't want to return to serve in the DPRK.

As for replacing Hu Weiyong as prime minister, I don't even think about it.

Your Majesty is now using his position as prime minister to bribe him.

He is unwavering!

"Brother Xizhi, do you still remember what the prince said at the beginning?"

Fang Xiaoru was silent.

The prince said at that time: I hope Jiang Jinzhong will side with King Yan.

Now, Jiang Jinzhong really unswervingly chose King Yan.

Will the prince regret it if he knows Jiang Jinzhong's current abilities?

Anyway, he really wanted to retain Jiang Jinzhong for the prince.

Today's Jiang Jinzhong has great talents.

'Forget it, you can't be too unkind. Jiang Jinzhong was brought out by King Yan. '

……

this day.

As soon as the observation group and powerful businessmen came to Jilong Island, they were touched again in every aspect.

It's approaching evening.

Zhang Wu knew that his wife was back and arranged the affairs of the military camp.

Then he left the camp to Tan Yuan, his unlucky boss, and ran home in a hurry.

Go home and go straight to the house.

Seeing Mingxia warming her wine, she was surprised and said, "You know I'm coming back?"

Mingxia blushed slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, "Aren't you always like this every time?"

Zhang Wu laughed sarcastically.

Mingxia pointed to the wine on the table, "Your Highness gave it to our family. It was brewed with corn straw by the folks in Tuqiao Village. Have you eaten it?"

"Eat. We ate with Lao Tan in the military camp. Don't prepare anything to eat."

As he spoke, Zhang Wu couldn't wait to sit at the table, poured a glass, tasted it, and couldn't help but smile, "Uncle Yang and the others are getting more and more powerful."

The couple chatted.

Mingxia asked: "How is the training of the new army? This time, you have to show your highness a good face! The most important thing is to show your fists!"

Zhang Wu paused slightly, "What's wrong? What happened?"

 The next two climaxes are the training of the new army and the navy's suppression of bandits.

  Thank you all for your support.

  Finally, please ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
