Chapter 502: The army is for the people

The ability of merchant ships to Europe means having the ability to travel to America, which is full of gold.

Forty years ago, the British had established their own colonies in North America, and the cruel and ruthless white-skinned people are now carrying out inhumane massacres on the American continent.

The vast and fertile land of North America is about to become the territory of these British people, and they will develop and prosper here until a new race, America, appears a hundred years later. The owners of this continent are still chasing bison hunting and eating meat, helping the whites gain a foothold.

Now the opportunity to kill all this is right in front of you. Hou Xuanyan didn't want to sit idly by the massacres on the land of the ocean. It was not because he was so compassionate, but because he was attracted to the land of North America, which was his ideal place for food and cotton.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was silent, Gelun stood aside consciously, and was so nervous that he was very uncomfortable.

Finally, Hou Xuanyan calmed down from his initial excitement. He had to go to the military camps of several naval divisions to see what level his naval division is now and whether he has the ability to expedition.

"Oh... I really want to try the waters when I fight."

Glenn's scalp was numb when he heard this. He had to fight a war to try it out. His Majesty's eyes were too ridiculous.

But he didn't know that Hou Xuan's naval war could fill the treasury every time, and even the millions of troops in Mobei and Liaodong were supported by these wars. Unfortunately, the European powers have their own things now. While they were busy fighting for the maritime overlord, a real monster had already grown up in the East.

Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Which fleet are you from?"

"When I go back to the emperor, Caomin's boss is the Gu family in Suzhou." Gelun said this tone brought a three-point closeness to him. Everyone knows that His Majesty is the son-in-law of the Gu family.

Hou Xuanyan nodded, feeling that it should be so. The Gu family controlled 10% of the shares of Longjiang Shipyard, and in addition, they had fully accepted the family of the ship king Zhang family. If there was a most advanced ship, it should have been the first to build it. However, Gu Youde's recent thoughts were not used much in business, but he was particularly concerned about the affairs between the court and the country. His three sons, the eldest is a short-sighted businessman, the third is a scattered playboy, and only the second is a high-powered but not a smooth person. He is a righteous person and does not have any tricks and is not suitable for developing power in the court.

Every time he thinks of this, Hou Xuanyan wants to laugh. The Gu family has made great efforts and it is understandable to give them a certain amount of political capital. Unfortunately, Gu Youde is so smart and has no son to inherit his power and strategy. I have to say that this may be the retribution for the ashes.

"Siling's people?"

"The emperor, Shengming, Caomin is Siling's friend, and is currently responsible for helming the "Fu Tu" merchant ship."

The Buddha's merchant ship can imagine it as soon as he hears the name Hou Xuanyan. This must be a standard merchant ship, with all the wood used to hold goods, leaving no space for artillery. This is the template for the standard Han merchant ship, because they are protected by the navy and are not afraid of pirates at all.

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "It's no longer a guy who can helm a big ship. A man should try his best to have a status as much as he is capable of. Don't be too modest. However, if you travel far away from the West, it's best to be more careful. Now the sea is not peaceful and pirates are rampant. Be careful and be careful, and it's best to have self-defense means."

If the emperor is praised by himself, let alone a captain, even the chief officials in the court have been excited for several days. Maybe they will write the genealogy to make the descendants boast about it. Gelun smiled and showed his teeth, and his hands were chanting. He grinned and said, "Don't worry, our ship was indeed not defensive before, but every time he went to a place that the navy could not cover, he would go back to the Wusong River Station, and the boss paid to hire a small team of the navy and brought artillery on board. The merchant ships that sailed far away were all transformed and could be equipped with twenty artillery guns. We went out to sea together. There were about a dozen ships at a time, and no one dared to provoke us. Ordinary little pirates were sunk by the navy's soldiers before they arrived."

Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up and praised: "This idea is good. It can protect our merchant ships and train navy. Who came up with the idea?"

"Returning to the emperor, it was General Fan, the deputy admiral of the navy of Wusongjiang Institute, who came up with the proprietors of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce."

Hou Xuanyan had a faint impression, as if they had reported to him, but at that time, he was very happy to fight at Shanhaiguan monk, so he didn't pay much attention and criticized him if he thought it was good. Unexpectedly, a complete system has been developed. No matter how powerful a country's army is, its fundamental purpose is to protect the people. Unexpectedly, that boy Fan Xian actually had this kind of mind, Hou Xuanyan felt relieved. The people who escaped from the sword back then gradually all had a bright future, and the young master, the leader, felt that he was worthy of the expectations of the elders when the Zhulin rebelled.

Hou Xuanyan asked about some Western customs and customs, whether there were any barriers to doing business. The afternoon passed quietly, and in the end he did not get any reason to start a war.

The goods from the Central Plains dynasty are so attractive now that they are welcome everywhere. In addition, the naval battles in Macau and Malacca have led to the limelight of the navy, and no one dares to stroke the tiger's beard.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin He pushed the door and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to return to the palace."

Hou Xuanyan looked up and saw that it was getting dark. It was dark in the middle of winter, so he stood up and clapped his hands and smiled: "Although you are just businessmen, you fight for the wind and waves, cross the sea and the ocean, and serve the country. Do your best in the future, and the future is limitless. When the court needs you experienced tax helmsmen, you are still behind."

A cheap man like running a boat has always been looked down upon, because the Chinese people pay attention to the difficulty of leaving their hometowns, rather than sailing adventures. Gelun has always been able to brag about himself in teahouses and restaurants. He never thought that he was valued so much by the emperor of the dynasty today. The seven-foot-long man's eye sockets were unconsciously moist and said in a deep voice: "The grass people respectfully send me my emperor."

There are a lot of things at the end of the year, and after all, I have to do it one by one. Qin He has already settled the bill for him. Hou Xuanyan got up and shook his sleeves to prepare to return to the palace.

The spiritual medicine in the carriage was relieved and hugged shyly in Hou Xuanyan's arms. A girl's body fragrance, which looked like a burst of honey fruit, was long and strong. The spiritual medicine rubbed in Hou Xuanyan's arms, but there was no response. When she saw Hou Xuanyan's thoughtful look, she asked softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I heard the helmsman say today that they came to the West and felt mixed feelings. The Longjiang Dock was the first to contract out. At that time, only Suzhou, Jinling, Songjiang and other places in the world were in our hands. Unexpectedly, after leaving the court's control, the Longjiang Dock had such progress in the hands of merchants. On that day, I took Jinling's wealthy merchants and giants to wander around the river. The Longjiang Dock was dilapidated, and the boatmen changed their careers to catch fish. Children wanted to learn to build ships and were beaten by their parents. If they were left alone, they were afraid that our warships would not be able to leave the South China Sea now."

The spiritual medicine flattered him and said in a sweet voice: "It's all your Majesty's wise and powerful. In the early years, he spent a lot of money on the navy, and there were constant doubts between the court and the country. Now the role of the navy is obvious to all. Who doesn't admire His Majesty's foresight?"

Hou Xuanyan slapped her on the buttocks and scolded, "If you don't learn it, you've learned to flatter her."

Lingyao cried out with a strange expression on his face, his eyes were blurred and his delicate body trembled slightly, as if he was enduring great pain, but he was happy.

Only then did Hou Xuanyan remember his prank, so he hurriedly carried her to his legs, lifted her skirt and slowly pulled out the pearl necklace hidden inside.

The moon shines through the curtains, and the beads are bright and bright red.

Now I will blend the pearl chains with my body.

Each of them is still dyed with musk, and the flowers are misty.
