Chapter 527 Thinking too much about the Western world
Because he was with two beauties, Zhu Youxiao was inconvenient to go to these exotic flower buildings to experience it. However, in order to understand the lives of Macau residents, Zhu Youxiao went to a certain casino to experience it. His luck was good and he won tens of thousands of silver dollars.
However, Zhu Youxiao stopped when he saw it, did not bet anymore, and returned to the prefect's office after making a small fortune. After all, he still had to take time to deal with some urgent tasks at night.
Liu Rushi cheered for Zhu Youxiao to win a lot of money, as if he was even more excited than learning that the Ming Dynasty destroyed Jiannu, and he shouted that Zhu Youxiao would also want to reward him.
Master Zhu You had to reward some of the people who were in charge of the escort, and at the same time handed over the rest to the prefect Guan Shaoning. He also paid a little more and asked Guan Shaoning to establish a charity fund. Based on the help of some down-and-out or unemployed people in the city who failed gold digging, it can also add a touch of warmth to the prosperous Macau.
In the following time, Zhu Youxiao reviewed the army and navy stationed in Macau, gave some instructions, and went to the Macau branch of the Ming Naval Academy to take a look. In early November, he officially boarded the ship and left the Macau Port, preparing to go to the first colony built by the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, namely Java Island.
The distance from Macau to Java Island is not close, so this is also the farthest sea patrol that Zhu Youxiao will undergo.
However, in a sense, the Ming Sea (China Sea) today belongs to the inner sea of the Ming Dynasty. As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao has the right to wander freely in this sea area.
The super giant ship "Da Ming" that was built on a high building on the ground was like a huge pear leaf floating in the vast sea, like a sharp black iron sword that slashed out layers of huge waves.
Zhu Youxiao stood on the deck with his hands behind his back, looking at the waves that were about to swallow the entire bow of the ship and were almost motionless, and his feet were standing steadily like a fillet of lead. But he was extremely quiet at this moment. In his opinion, this sea area also belonged to his own inland sea, and it was completely necessary for him to do something in his territory, such as setting up a forbidden navigation zone, or occupying some islands that had not yet been owned, etc.
Ningpin Luo Ruo and Liu Rushi were hiding in the cabin at this time, but only Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen were with Zhu Youxiao. Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen were both staying in this uninhabited ocean for the first time, and their mood was even more exciting and complicated than Zhu Youxiao.
However, at this time, a small fast wheel that acted as a sentry detector drove towards this side like an arrow from a string, and the sentries on the ship had already started to sing flags.
At this time, the alarm sound on the "Da Ming" warship suddenly started to scream, and the sea flew away from the sea.
Gu Sanmazi also hurriedly walked over: "Your Majesty, news came from the front that the whistleboats had found a large number of Western warships dozens of miles away from the attachment waters. The specific number was no less than 300, of which the auxiliary ships were no less than 500, and most of them were large double-decker gun doors, which were relatively fast and well-equipped. It was probably prepared and was blocking the way to Java Island. In this way, I dared to give up the trip to Java Island. "
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at the calm sea, except for the fleet officers of several warships who competed from time to time because of boredom, he did not expect that a large number of enemy ships would attack at this time.
And it seems that it is not small in scale, but I think so, because the Ming Emperor acquiesced and even directly encouraged self-righteous people like Westerners to teach some lessons, which naturally led to the Ming Dynasty's public security forces not being polite to Westerners, and they would often confiscate goods or shoot directly, which greatly challenged the bottom line of dignity of Western countries.
These Europa Western countries naturally refused to accept it. They were not as timid as the Eastern people, but they had decided to prepare for a decisive battle with the ancient empire of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to defeat the Ming Dynasty and force the Ming Dynasty to learn to coerce the Rakshasa Kingdom to sign unequal treaties, the Ming Dynasty also signed unequal treaties with them, such as the Western countries, in order to obtain the greatest colonial interests.
Before this, the joint fleets of these Western countries also made a lot of preparations. The most important information they learned was naturally the news that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is inspecting the world and preparing to go out to sea to inspect.
However, intelligence is not only unique to Western fandoms. The Jinyiwei, which has almost established a complete intelligence system throughout Asia, has also detected the movements of these Western fandoms' joint fleets.
Therefore, in fact, in order to ensure absolute confidentiality, except for Zhu Youxiao who did not let everyone know this news, no one else knew that His Majesty had already prepared for today's affairs.
"No, Java continue to go, Gu Sanmazi, from now on, my life will be handed over to you. No matter how you command it, I only have one decree, that is, I will arrive in Java safely within the scheduled time, and there must be no delay. No matter whether there are enemy ships or how many enemy ships there are, how powerful they are."
After Zhu Youxiao said this, Gu Sanmazi had to accept the order. Although he was actually a little nervous, since His Majesty said it now, it was not easy for him to disobey the military order again.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as I, Gu Sanmazi, are there, no fleet dares to hurt Your Majesty a hair." After Gu Sanmazi, the general of the South China Sea Fleet, said this, Zhu Youxiao patted his shoulder: "But this also tells us that our naval control capabilities are not that strong. From Sakhalin Island to the four islands of Japan and then to Java, this island chain must become the first strict defense for our Ming Dynasty to prevent illegal armed personnel from today."
Because Zhu Youxiao insisted on going to Java Island, the "Da Ming" super ship, his six frigates and other sentry ships continued to sail towards Java Island according to the scheduled route.
At this time, the combined fleets of Western countries were also slowly heading here. In order to attract Zhu Youxiao to hook the ship he was riding on, they deliberately slowed down the speed a lot and specially put away the too-flattering flag.
But in fact, it was just a cover-up. When Zhu Youxiao's giant ship "Da Ming" appeared in the vision of these Western Federations, the commanders of the Western Federations were already cheering, as if they thought they were about to win. Some people began to fantasize that they would directly capture the Ming emperor alive, a cabinet minister, a eunuch with great power, and a royal concubine, which would be worth a lot of money to compensate.
Some people even think that it may be more cost-effective to exchange the lives of these most noble people in the Ming Dynasty for all the values of the Ming Dynasty Royal Industrial Company, a giant that has monopolized all the high-end industries in the world.
However, what they didn't know was that as the saying goes, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was never such a simple role.
