Chapter 770 Starfire
"Of course, your Majesty, don't worry, I have a plan in mind, you just have to watch it." Liu Hongjian said after thinking for a while.

The reason why he didn't tell Zhu Cihong about this strategy is because his strategy is no different from no strategy, one word - keep.

It is not that the Beiyang Navy is incapable of fighting the Netherlands, but the foundation of the Beiyang Navy is still too weak. It only damaged a lot of warships on the way to Nanyang, and most of the rest were returned to the factory for repairs.

The reason for defending is because since Nanyang has been temporarily abandoned, there is no need to show off for a while. If the Netherlands dares to travel thousands of miles to conquer Ming Dynasty, it has to make supplies for the long front.

The Beiyang Navy may be struggling in the South China Sea, but in the Daming sea area, with the many forts built at critical points, Liu Hongjian is sure to make William II regret his intestines.

The first batch of [-] ironclad warships has been delivered to the Nanyang Navy. With the construction speed of the two treasure shipyards in Tianjin and Longjiang, the Nanyang Navy will be able to restore half of the combat power of the Zheng Family Navy in half a year.

After returning from the palace, Liu Hongjian summoned Aragorn again, and gave Aragorn a rough plan.

The weapons supported by the Ming Dynasty are enough to equip 2000 soldiers, but the number of the Inca royal family is too small. Because of their lack of strength, they should hide their strengths and bide their time, and not show themselves in front of Franji before the Ming Fleet departs.

There are still tasks. While intensifying the training, it is necessary to collect all information about the South Merica and the Netherlands, including but not limited to ports, armaments, ships, and city defense forces.

At the same time, and the most important one, the royal tribe must continue to collect rubber tree latex and seeds for Daming, and the Xishan Chamber of Commerce regularly sends fleets to trade there, and bring necessary supplies to the Incas by the way.

The jungle where their tribe lives is full of rubber trees. This condition is not a condition for their tribe. Although Aragon does not know what the Lord of Ming Dynasty is doing to collect the sticky latex, but for everything that Daming did for the Incas , he saw it all.

He came empty-handed, but when he returned, he brought a fleet full of food, weapons, and even a war horse that the tribal warriors dreamed of...

Half a month later, Tianjin Dagu Port.

It was late autumn, and the autumn wind was blowing. The Xishan Merchant Cooperative fleet was ready to go. Liu Hongjian stood on the pier with his hands behind his back, and Aragorn followed behind Liu Hongjian.

"I won't say any unnecessary words, you are a sensible person, you must protect your clansmen when you get there.

And remember, although waiting is suffering, it is not a bad thing. The Incas once had a brilliant civilization. As descendants, you have a heavy burden, so don't be in a hurry. "Liu Hongjian said meaningfully.

Liu Hongjian felt unreasonable pity for this Inca who was about his own age. He remembered that 200 years later, the Chinese nation would also be enslaved and oppressed by the Europeans. modern history.

Aragorn is a very studious and hardworking person, which can be seen from the fact that he can communicate in simple Ming language in just over a month.

During this period of time, Zhuge Tieniu has also been reporting Aragorn's whereabouts to him. The bookstores in the capital are what Aragorn visits the most, and what he buys the most are all kinds of books on the market, from Confucian classics to creations from heaven. , From mathematics and geometry to Tang poetry and Song Ci, it has packed several boxes.

Liu Hongjian did not prevent the Incas from taking these things back. On the contrary, he recommended to Aragon a few books he thought were better, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, it's none of his business whether he understands them or not. .

The Chinese nation is like this. Culturally, it opens its door to all outsiders, and those who get its essence are assimilated by it.

Of course, the reason why Liu Hongjian was relieved was because the most cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements of Ming Dynasty are all in the Ordnance Institute, and all the popular science books that can be bought on the market are popular science books or novels.

After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, he suddenly heard a strange noise behind him, but it was Aragorn who led seven or eight people from his tribe to kneel in front of him.

"My lord, these days I have learned a proverb from Ming Dynasty, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, the lord has a great kindness to the Incas, but I can't repay it.

Today I swear here, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what situation you are in Daming, the stone pillar in front of the Inca tribe will always be your horse-holding post! "Aragorn swore with tears in his eyes.

When he knelt yesterday, he knelt on the identity of the prince in front of him and the empire behind him, but today Aragorn knelt on Liu Hongjian himself. Without him, he didn't think Daming would help them Fallen country.

"Hehe, Aragorn, you are being polite. Get up quickly, the boat is about to sail." Liu Hongjian just smiled, patted Aragorn's shoulder and said.

"Based on this, Yunnan is very far away, and it will take at least three months for the Yunnan horses to be collected and transported. This fleet is transporting all the supplies except the horses. I hope you have a smooth journey.

Tieniu, be smart when you get there, the storage and use of firearms will be left to you. "Liu Hongjian said to Zhuge Tieniu again.

The team leader this time was still Zhuge Tieniu, and Liu Hongjian promoted him to take full charge of the Xishan merchants' trade there, and was responsible for teaching the Incas how to use firearms.

In this batch of firearms, there are [-] muskets, but it is estimated that due to being in the jungle, Aragorn is not very interested in muskets, but has a soft spot for grenades. After all, this thing is not only easy to use, powerful, but also visually impactful. Very exciting.

All the firearms were packed in boxes, and with the lessons learned from the last flood, the boxes were treated to prevent moisture. Half an hour later, the fleet headed northwest, leaving Liu Hongjian alone, still looking at the departing ship. Team.

A single spark can start a prairie fire. I hope they arrive in Merika as scheduled.

"Let's go." Liu Hongjian sighed and waved to the guards.

"Master, have you heard that the Institute of Engineering issued an admissions announcement a month ago, and even the Jiangnan area has many young people coming to apply for the school!" Niu Dabangchui followed behind and started talking.

"Wan Guan's family wealth is not as good as a skill, and the common people are not stupid." Chang Yu continued.

The first-term students who went out for internships have come back one after another, and most of the students who entered the Ministry of Industry have received praise from the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

The young students who have broadened their horizons are constantly improving the old working habits of the workshops under the Ministry of Industry, so much so that as early as a month ago, Wang Jiayan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, approached Liu Hongjian and asked that all these students stay in the Ministry of Industry appointment.

But how could Liu Hongjian get what he wanted, the first batch of students were the hallmark of the engineering college, and the top students would definitely enter the workshop under the name of Xishan Shanghe.

The Institute of Engineering takes care of their food and housing, and also teaches them to read, write, and acquire skills, all for this day.

I don't know where Lao Gu and the others are, Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

Gu Jia and his party have lost contact since they passed the Western Regions. It has been half a year now, and Liu Hongjian is faintly worried, but there is nothing he can do.

Seeing that winter is coming, I hope Lao Gu can have this year's New Year's Eve dinner, alas, Liu Hongjian sighed, and rode his horse towards the capital.

……

 Thanks to the book friend Mouse for going to the street to reward 1000 taels, and thanks to the book friends who light up the lamp to look at the axe, the sun well cover, and the little panda prince for the 100 taels.
