Chapter 885: sea ​​ship

  Rao is Qi Haoran who was dizzy with the burning, and his eyes widened at this time. There are only so many people in the entire Guangdong Marine Division?

Before he came, he had someone from the Ministry of War transfer the files of the Guangdong Marine Division. Although he only read a few, he knew it well. He didn't expect them to eat so badly. The actual number of more than 30,000 people was only more than 6,000. .

Qi Haoran's face, which was already a little red due to fever, was even more red at this time - angry.

Zhou Zhou also knew that this matter could not be concealed. He lowered his head, and Mu Yang's heart sank. He asked in a deep voice, "Can your eight sea ships sail far away?"

"No," Zhou Zhou said, almost breaking the jar: "The sea boats are old, they are not heavy enough, and they can't go far. The boat that Mr. Fan uses is the best. It was built with a huge amount of money from the Zhou family. It was just built, but because of the government's decree, it has never been able to go to sea..."

"Can't sail far, how can we find them?"

Zhou Zhou gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers have enough dry food and fresh water, and they can also go to the Nanyang area." Although it is dangerous, but they have two ships of soldiers who have gone back and forth, but still no one is found.

This is what makes them most desperate.

But Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were both dissatisfied. Without a large ship, it meant that they would not be able to go far, and they would have to come back for supplies from time to time.

Mu Yangling could not wait to slaughter these free-paying people at this time.

"Since the Zhou family can build new ships, do they still have any big ships?"

Zhou Zhou shook his head, he came from a side branch of the Zhou family, "The maritime merchants in Guangdong have not been to sea for many years, and the ships of the year were either put up there for a long time in disrepair, or they were sold to sea masters as warships, and the Zhou family is also close to the sea. It has only been a few years since I started to think about going to sea again, and this time, the Zhou family’s patriarch and several sons-in-law are all on board…”

So the Zhou family also suffered huge losses. At this time, they were also suspected of murdering the court officials. The Zhou family was bleak and gloomy.

Qi Haoran said angrily, "Then tell the Lord, where are there big ships in Guangdong?"

"Only foreigners have them," Zhou Zhou said: "Recently, two foreigners' ships have docked, both of which are Westerners. They are heavy and have artillery on them, but they belong to foreigners..."

Qi Haoran got up "ho" and sneered: "As long as there is a boat, let the Guangdong garrison gather, surround the two sea boats, and let your marine master prepare, we will go out to sea tomorrow to find someone, Zhou Zhou. , Lord, put it down here, it's okay to find someone, but if you can't find someone, you all have to be buried with Duke An Guo, and you can decide who should be called on board with us."

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely impossible," Yu Cheng shouted, "That's a foreigner's ship. If we grab their ship, we're afraid it will cause a dispute between the two countries?"

"Dispute between the two countries? Is it Spain or Portugal? Or France and Italy, do you know where their land is? To provoke a dispute between the two countries, first of all, they will come with us, but they are just two sea ships, if you are afraid of this You have to pee your pants, no wonder you can let the five miles of the coast go out!" Mu Yangling scolded: "Just do as the lord said, Zhou Zhou, you go with people in person, if the foreigners resist, they will be arrested directly, if they If you dare to kill people, you will kill them all, and we will have two more ships."

Everyone was startled and looked at the princess standing above in shock. The prince is a bandit, and the princess has become a bandit wife?

This, this is really a shame for Da Qi, but at this time no one dared not obey the order.

Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran went back to the backyard, "Let someone go and invite the doctor."

Mu Yangling took out the pill, thought about it and doubled the amount, "Take a little more to see if it works."

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes, "You're not afraid of your father's death." But he still took a handful and shoved it into his mouth and drank it. He touched his forehead and said, "I didn't feel burnt, I just felt dizzy. He's drowsy, and it's hard to even move his mind, his grandmother's, when the master frees his hands, Qin Fang's people will definitely be uprooted, making me so sick."

Seeing that his eyes were almost closed, Mu Yangling pushed him to bed, held his hand and assured: "You go to sleep first, we will go to sea when the ship is ready, I will arrange this for you, commander. The army must still have you, and you have to take good care of yourself."

Qi Haoran fell into a drowsy sleep when he heard the words. He told himself in his heart that A Ling was right, he had to get better, Zijin might be floating at sea, waiting for him to rescue him, he must never get sick again. Absolutely not!

Qi Haoran thought, his internal power started to work involuntarily, his forehead slowly soaked with fine sweat, Mu Yangling wiped him with a towel, and quickly walked in, "Princess, butler Xia is here."

Mu Yangling put the towel aside and whispered, "Call a servant to take care of the prince."

Butler Xia was kneeling under the steps, Mu Yangling asked him to get up, called someone into the room, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on, Defu can't explain clearly, we still don't understand you guys. Why do you want to test the ship?"

Butler Xia burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed again and said, "Niangniang, our master was deceived by Yu Cheng and the others!"

Butler Xia cried: "Our grandfather is interested in maritime trade, and asked the chief steward to contact the maritime merchants in Guangdong, and wanted to intervene, but those foreigners blindly raised prices because of the availability of rare goods, not to mention the maritime merchants in Guangdong, it is us The profit that my father can get from it is not much. I negotiated with them, but those foreigners kept raising prices. Our father could not help but get annoyed. When has he been so manipulated in the business field? No one buys foreigners' goods."

"But this matter can't just be stalemate, it has to be resolved. Our master wants to reopen the coast, attract more foreigners, and give the people along the coast an extra livelihood, but Yu Cheng said that the pirates are rampant, and the marine division can't resist it. Pirates, reopening the coast will only make the pirates harass the people, and those foreigners are also clamoring not to come to the port of Guangdong again, the sea merchants who were originally with our master were hesitant, and some people began to contact those foreigners in private," Butler Xia said with tears: "At this moment, the Zhou family came to the door and said that they had secretly built a large sea ship a few years ago. Because the court banned the sea, they had not been able to test the ship. They said that if the prince of the state was willing, the Zhou family would be willing to take the sea ship. I offered it to do maritime business with the grandfather of the country. Our grandfather was worried that we would not have the chance to win people's hearts, so we agreed without thinking about it. He said that the sage is here to find a way. As long as the Zhou family can organize people well, in order to force those The foreigners obeyed, and the grandfather of the country wanted to test the ship himself, but he said it well at the time, and he could go back and forth the same day, and if it was bad, he could come back the next morning. It took three days to start looking for someone, but the minions felt that this was a big deal, and it was nothing more than disappearing on land. There are guards and secret guards by my side, and I can also ride horses and kung fu, but at sea..."
