Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 982

"Quick, bring the ship closer to the naval flagship!"

See Huang Fei coming.Shen Wanwan immediately ordered the captain to bring the merchant ship closer to the iron-clad warship Chongzhen. The iron-clad warship must be much safer than the sailed warship.

"Order the fleet to stop advancing."

With Huang Fei's order, the Ming Fleet stopped advancing, and soon Shen Wansan's merchant ship came not far from the Chongzhen Ship, and he immediately cupped his hands and shouted to Huang Fei:

"The governor is safe and sound, and the officer is going to take the iron-clad warship!"

Huang Fei smiled slightly:
"Master Zhang, wait a moment, someone will let the boat pick up Master Zhang."

The sea was very windy, and the two ships were too close to collide. Huang Fei ordered the boat to be lowered to pick up Shen Wansan and board the iron-clad battleship Chongzhen.

Immediately, a small boat was put down from the Chongzhen, and Shen Wanwan was connected to the iron-clad warship.

After boarding the iron-clad battleship, Shen Wanwan immediately bowed to Huang Fei:
"Thank you for the escort, the governor, turn around and go back immediately, the officer is worried that someone will rob you!"

Huang Fei nodded, and then ordered the fleet to surround the merchant ships and quickly sail in the direction of Daming:
"The commander-in-chief ordered that the warship be in the middle of a foreign merchant ship and return immediately."

"Yes"

Twenty warships escorted fifteen merchant ships in the middle and returned.

When the fleet returned, Huang Fei made a gesture of invitation to Shen Wanwan:
"Master Zhang, let's go to the command cabin,"

Entering the command cabin of the armored battleship, soldiers immediately made tea for the two of them.

Shen Wan picked up the teacup and blew on it, saying:

"Captain Huang, those merchant ships in the middle must be well protected, I think I will definitely encounter pirates."

Huang Fei narzhid what was on the ship, seeing that he cared so much about merchant ships, he casually joked:
"The governor received the imperial decree to escort Master Zhang's fleet, and will definitely let your fleet reach Daming safely. Master Zhang cares about the fleet so much. Could it be that there is gold on board? Haha..."

"To tell you the truth, the governor, there are not only gold but also silver, a total of fifteen ships! That's why the lower officials are so nervous..."

"what……"

Huang Fei was stunned by Shen Wanwan's words, and asked after a long time:

"True or false, how come there are so many, did you grow up and rob in Europe?"

Shen Wan smiled and shook his head:
"It wasn't a robbery, they gave Daming willingly, haha..."

It is Shen Wanwan and Master Zhang again, which may have confused the readers.

Now let's introduce this Shen Wanwan. His original name is not Shen Wanwan, but the No. [-] member of the Daming Royal Group, former Shandong businessman Zhang Changfa. Shen Wanwan is the pseudonym he used in Europe.

The No. [-] person of the Royal Group is of course Emperor Ming Zhu Youjian, No. [-] Princess Zhu Weixi, No. [-] Wang Chengen, the most loyal eunuch in history, and No. [-] is Zhang Changfa.

Zhang Changfa was a businessman Zhu Youjian recruited from Shandong during the reform and opening up after the Ming Dynasty pacified the world. They were different from Shanxi merchants. One was a traitor and the other was a patriotic businessman.

Zhu Youjian gave Zhang Changfa some shares and merged them into the Royal Group to operate overseas. Wang Chengen and Princess Kunxing would definitely not be able to do it alone. They have no experience in overseas business. If the Royal Group wants to develop into a large group in the world, it must find a knowledgeable person Some people come to take care of overseas business.

The matter of Fushou shares was instigated by Zhu Youjian and Zhang Changfa. The purpose was to use the current value of fushou to cut leeks in Europe, just like the old American financial tycoon Buffett.

Regardless of the fact that Fushou shares have been skyrocketing now, once smoking is banned in Europe, Fushou shares will immediately become a piece of waste paper, absolutely worthless. Zhang Changfa has already smelled something unusual, so he immediately stopped and returned to Daming with silver dollars.

This time, the amount of silver dollars earned by using drugs has accounted for almost half of the silver dollars issued in Europe. Due to the participation of nobles, officials and civilians, there has been a serious crisis in the circulation of European silver dollars. Prices are skyrocketing, and European countries are far from Riots are not far away.

Although Zhang Changfa worked in the Royal Group, he was also awarded a sixth-rank official position by Zhu Youjian. He belonged to the emperor. Although Huang Fei was a first-rank general, he did not dare to look down on Zhang Changfa, a sixth-rank official.

When Huang Fei and Zhang Changfa were discussing European stocks, a report came from the watchtower:
"Captain, there are countless ships chasing us in the distance."

Huang Fei was experienced in many battles, so he was not surprised to hear that, he smiled lightly and said:

"Master Zhang, they are really desperate."

Zhang Changfa was no longer in the state of strategizing in the European stock market at this time, his face turned a little pale in an instant, and he bowed to Huang Fei:
"Captain, for hundreds of millions of taels of silver, there is a possibility that their country will dispatch a fleet, so don't be careless..."

Huang Fei smiled slightly:
"Master Zhang, don't worry, the governor promises to send you back to Daming safely."

After Huang Fei finished speaking, he picked up the binoculars and got up and walked out of the command cabin. Zhang Changfa hurriedly got up and followed Huang Fei. He not only doubted Huang Fei's ability, but the key point was that there were too many silver dollars on the merchant ship.

Standing on the deck of the tall Chongzhen, I saw countless sailing warships approaching the fleet in the distance.

The speed of the Ming warship and the merchant ship is not slow, but due to the weight of the merchant ship, the speed cannot be increased, and the small sailing warships finally catch up.

Huang Fei wasn't nervous at all, he used his binoculars to look around carefully, and saw that all the battleships that came had skulls hanging on them, obviously they were all pirate ships.

Zhang Changfa also saw those pirate ships. He knew that there were many tricks on the pirate ships, so he reminded Huang Fei:
"Captain, many countries in Europe are robbing the sea under the banner of pirate ships. There must be warships from European countries for so many ships. They will not let us transport the silver dollars back to Daming easily."

Huang Fei reached out and patted Zhang Changfa's shoulder and gave the order:

"The commander-in-chief ordered that all warships be prepared for battle. They would rather be sunk by their opponents than allow them to approach merchant ships. No matter what they want to do, as long as their warships dare to enter the range of the artillery, they will be bombarded and sunk immediately."

"Yes"

With Huang Fei's order, all the outer string gun doors of the twenty warships were opened, and the black holed muzzles were exposed from the battleships.

Huang Fei saw that there were at least fifty pirate ships chasing after him, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"This is self-deception. European countries with such large-scale pirate ships can't attack them. How can the gold, silver and goods looted overseas by Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal return to their own countries?"

The first pirate ship was very fast, and the pirates stood on the deck and laughed happily:

"Hahaha, the whole ship of silver dollars will soon become our spoils of war..."

"Your title, don't take it lightly. How could they have so many warships escorting them? Today's robbery may be very difficult!"

The boss slapped the talking pirate on the head:

"My lord, boss, what a pity, don't we have more than 50 warships? Order the warships to quickly rush into the Ming army fleet, and directly approach the merchant ships. My lord will see how they fire..."

The pirate who had just been beaten touched his head and said:
"Boss, you also call yourself Lord..."
