Chapter 533 Armada
The matters in western Liaoning have been arranged, and the construction of Songshan and Jinzhou Port has been issued in scale.
During this year's scientific examination, under the operation of Qian Qianyi, Chongzhen still took the lead exam himself, but the deputy exam was no longer Zhao Xing, but Qian Qianyi.
Regarding such personnel changes, the explanation from inside to outside is that Zhao Xing needs to control the situation in Liaodong, and he really can't take time.
Zhao Xing just smiled faintly for this reason.
However, he still spent a lot of money to let the Jinshi students in this subject wear it and take office.
But no matter how Qian Qianyi jumped up and down, the Jinshi in this subject always felt that this batch of gold spending was somewhat different from the past in terms of weight and exquisite casting.
And colleagues who were wearing gold and spending money sat together and talked, they couldn't help but feel the dwarf being the first.
And in terms of work distribution, there is no original direct place.
Originally, it was either assigned to difficult places, but it was easy to achieve results. As long as you had the results, you would be promoted quickly; or it was assigned to relatively superior places, but it was all important places, with great responsibility and great results.
The Jinshi in this subject continued as before and threw them to the Hanlin Academy. However, most of them were assigned to various departments in Beijing to walk and be able to grind. The disguised form is to be able to survive qualifications.
When will this end?
Therefore, the imperial examination scholars in the next examination were all looking forward to Zhao Xing’s return, and they continued to become Zhao Xuanguan who was envious and jealous outside.
In June of the spring, Zhao Xing took his 600 Tiqi brothers to board the fleet of Zhang Dake, the Denglai Navy, who was specially brought to pick him up, and rushed to Pi Island, Dongjiang Town, on the Jinzhou Port, which had already begun to take shape.
Zhang Dake lost weight, but after he got rid of the fat body, he became more energetic. He didn't like to wear boots, just two big feet, like an old fisherman, with his five toes spread out, holding on to the boat board tightly, no matter how huge the wind and waves on the sea were, and no matter how bumpy the boat was, it was as stable as Mount Tai.
At this time, he had enough capital to mock the brother who was holding the boat's side and vomiting: "I remember two years ago, I encountered a huge storm in Nanyang. The storm was dark and scary.
All the soldiers of my fleet must tie a rope around their waists to walk on the deck. But even so, I still lost 10 warships and 1,000 brothers. But I proudly tell you now that I have survived with these pairs of feet."
He took the honey water from the waiter's floor and took a sip: "How many gold, silver and treasures have you forced to plunder in the past two years? The dividends you promised me have not been fulfilled yet."
Zhang Dake laughed: "I was about to tell you about this, we are strong in ships and cannons, and we are invincible. Now, whether it is Western red-haired or Japanese pirates, as long as we see the military flag of our Ming Dynasty, we will be invincible, and we are just like our grandson. The result is that now, why do I have the nerve to attack my grandson? This year I can only barely maintain the dividends you want, so there will be no more."
Zhao Xing smiled.
"But after the past two years of storms, I have seen the magnificence of the sea, and the 20,000 soldiers under my command saw the wider world outside the sea. We finally believe that the world you are talking about is circular. What shocks us even more is that we always think that we are the country of the Celestial Empire, the center of the earth, and the vastest territory in the world. As a result, we find that the world is so big that we can't imagine it; the world is so novel, so novel that every time we encounter a fleet, we have a new understanding that makes us stunned."
Zhao Xing patted his shoulder and sighed: "If you really know him like this, I will be the most gratifying. From now on, my old brother is no longer a water pirate, but a philosopher."
Zhang Dake looked at the sea from afar: "When I first went there, there were 15,000 soldiers, but when I came back, there were only 6,000 left."
Zhao Xing was very sad: "To open up this ocean, increase our knowledge, and broaden our horizons, it always requires a group of pioneers to give their lives, but I think it is worth it."
Zhang Dake suddenly laughed: "My silly brother, you're thinking too much. With our Ming Dynasty shipbuilding technology and our Ming Dynasty naval master's invincible ability, how could it be as tragic as you said?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Then Zhang Dake told him proudly: "In the past two years, there were less than two thousand brothers who died in battle on this sea. And I followed your method, less than one thousand people who grew bean sprouts, drank tea, and died of illness."
"Where did those soldiers go?"
Zhang Dake said proudly: "Those bastards actually had a tryst with local women in their spare time to dock. In the end, they were sad to be in the beauty. They all became the son-in-law of the locals. I couldn't stop them."
Zhao Xing immediately applauded: "The sowing of human race and the spread of culture are really natural. Good and good. In the future, you will continue to attack and turn your soldiers into other people's son-in-laws. Finally, one day, with the fertility of our Han people, one kingdom after another led by our Han people will appear around the vast ocean. At that time, when you and your fleet walk around the world, you will no longer be enemies, but your children and nephews after children."
Inspired by such a beautiful prospect, Zhang Dake also cheered up from his sadness just now: "Your vision is still far-reaching, I am really not as good as you. You are right. If you follow my method, then in the near future, the world will be really Datong."
Then he walked to the bow of the boat, faced the fierce sea breeze, opened his arms and shouted loudly to the sky: "I, Zhang Dake, have done what the Three Treasures eunuch did not do back then, and I will be honored in history."
Zhao Xing walked to him and stood side by side with him: "There are only two things that the Chinese people never forget: what the common people never forget is to shine their ancestors, and what those who make a difference is to keep their name in history. You have done it."
Zhang Dake held the boat gang with both hands, letting his exposed chest be exposed before this vast ocean, welcomed the south wind in June, and breathed happily.
There was a burning fire in his chest now.
"Brother, I will help you fulfill your long-cherished wish at all costs, and then I will take my fleet and continue to go west, then west, and until the end of the sky."
"The earth is round, you will not go to the end of the sky. In the end, you will still walk back to your parents' country, your homeland."
