Chapter 597 The blackmail is coming

Chapter 597
"Sir, watch your words!"

Xie Xuelong said with a straight face.

Lu Shiyan smiled embarrassingly, and said:

"I mean, His Majesty is really good at predicting things. No matter how fantastic the conditions offered, the Spaniards have to agree. It can be seen that their situation is really bad to a certain extent."

"The more this happens, the more beneficial it will be for us! As long as we maintain this momentum of development, within ten years, the title of the Empire on which the sun never sets will surely belong to our Daming!"

"The Sun Never Sets Empire?"

"The former Spanish King Carlos I once said: In his territory, the sun never sets. In other words, their colonies are all over the world. But in the future, if this is the case, His Majesty should say it! It can only be said by His Majesty Come on!"

Xie Xuelong waved his hand and said domineeringly.

Everyone in the cabin was infected by Xie Xuelong, and they all looked at him with reverence.

"Master, how should the four Spanish women settle down?"

A discordant voice broke the harmonious atmosphere, and Xie Xuelong knew it was Xiao Wu from the voice.Glaring back at him.

Xiao Wu was startled, and then felt aggrieved.

"Master, didn't you say to leave it to me?"

Then I didn't let you say it at this time! ?You kid is usually so discerning, what's wrong with you today! ?Don't you see that I'm pretending so hard?

"Let's figure it out!"

"It's not easy to settle down. After returning to Beijing, I will dedicate it to Your Majesty!"

what?
It was everyone's turn to be surprised.

You get a few foreign women to give to His Majesty, let alone whether the empress is willing or not, the ministers in the court will tear you up!

What would happen if these red-haired women gave birth to a son and a half for His Majesty! ?

You kid really don't want to live anymore, you went to Spain, and your brain was ruined by the body odor of the red-haired ghost?

"Hey, hey, just kidding, ah~" He turned around and left, but he still didn't escape Lu Shichun's flying kick.

"This kid." Lu Shiyan shook his head speechlessly.

"Xiao Wu has a sweetheart. This time, when you return to Beijing, Shiyan, you go there and find a way to match his marriage. Don't worry about money, food, dowry, I will come out. If you need me to come forward, you can tell me." Xie Xuelong suddenly remembered what Xiao Wu said when he was in Spain, so he gave Lu Shiyan instructions.

"Okay. It must be done! But I will pay the money, I still have this little money."

"Well, you look at the arrangement. Send a telegram to Jingli to report our itinerary. You are busy, I will go to rest for a while." After finishing speaking, he turned and returned to his room.

"Master, go slowly."

The fleet braved the wind and waves and headed towards Daming at full speed.

"Long live! Xie Xuelong just sent back the news that he has led two fleets approaching the Bohai Bay, and they will arrive at Tianjin Port today!"

Zhu Youjian, who was eating breakfast, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up slowly, and calculated the time in his heart.

"That's right, it's only two days. You can arrange it. Let's go to Tianjin to meet Xie Xuelong triumphantly!"

"Isn't this against the rules?"

"What's wrong with the rules? Jie Xuelong has made a great contribution, so I can't go out to the capital to welcome him? To the outside world, let's just say he's inspecting the shipyard."

"Yes, long live!"

After a while, Zhu Youjian got into the carriage out of the city.

Two hours later, he appeared in Tianjin Port.

Zhu Youjian summoned Wang Zheng to have lunch together, and then took a nap for a while.

"Long live. Long live" vaguely, Zhu Youjian heard Wang Chengen calling him in his ears, and opened his eyes.

"What time is it? Has Xie Xuelong arrived?"

"It's time to apply, Governor Xie has already led the fleet to dock, and is waiting outside right now."

"Why didn't you call me earlier." When Zhu Youjian heard that Xie Xuelong had arrived, he immediately lifted off the blanket on his body, and walked out wearing the mink fur cloak prepared by Wang Chengen.

On the open space outside the port, Xie Xuelong led all the officers and sailors of the first and second fleets to stand in the cold wind in neat lines.Seeing Zhu Youjian coming out, Xie Xuelong immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly:
"Minister, Xie Xuelong, kowtow to His Majesty!"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

There are not many people in the fleet, but they are full of energy, and the voice also breaks through the sky!
"Xie Qing, no courtesy!"

Zhu Youjian laughed and personally stepped forward to help understand Xuelong.Then he looked at the commander of the first fleet, Lu Shicuo, and the commander of the second fleet, Ye Rufang, and gently raised his hands to make them stand up.

Then he looked at all the sergeants, and after glancing around, he spoke slowly:

"You have worked hard."

"It's not hard!"

Zhu Youjian didn't make an impassioned speech, but just these five simple words made these men who had been away from home for a long time burst into tears.

If Zhu Youjian personally went to Tianjin Port to welcome their return and made them feel flattered, then these five short words gave them the belief that a man should die for his confidant.

Make them feel that all the hard work is worth it.

But then, another sentence from Zhu Youjian made them feel more worthy.

"Each fleet, reward 20 taels of silver! Distributed by your captain. The supply fleet also has it!"

"Aww!!! Long live Your Majesty!"

The crowd couldn't hold back the agitation in their hearts any longer, and howled crazily.

A fleet is full of more than 1000 people, 20, and at least 100 taels of silver will be distributed to each person!This is not a small sum.

"Okay, let's go." Zhu Youjian smiled and waved at them, and took Xie Xuelong's hand back into the house.

"How about Xie Qing's journey, please tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, after we set off from Luzon, we first arrived at the Sultanate of Johor, where we were."

The monarch and his ministers sit in the hall, one speaks and the other listens.

Most of the time, Xie Xuelong will talk again, and Zhu Youjian will occasionally interject a few sentences.When he heard that Xie Xuelong was about to be assassinated, Zhu Youjian sweated for him.

"If it wasn't for the pistol that His Majesty gave me, I'm afraid I would be buried in a foreign land."

"If this is the case, I will definitely make those thieves pay the price they deserve. But speaking of it, you are really lucky, just as the grenade runs out, reinforcements will arrive."

"Yeah, if the reinforcements didn't arrive in time and their king couldn't be seen, the negotiation would have completely failed."

"What kind of man is their king?"

"More than enough to maintain success, not enough to develop." Jie Xuelong thought for a while and characterized Felipe IV in eight words. "But it's just my humble opinion, and it may not be accurate."

"I do believe in your judgment, otherwise the Dutch would not have grown to such an extent."

"As His Majesty expected, Felipe IV urgently needs to cooperate with Daming. Otherwise, the negotiation will not be so smooth."

"It's just the beginning right now, and the days to come will be long."

Zhu Youjian gently put down the treaty in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, the items on the list made by your majesty, I have falsified, and traded them back for you."
