    The inauguration ceremony of the Royal Guards of the Ming Empire was very simple. On the Royal Navy Xiangyun, Colonel Zhu You awarded the Royal Navy flag to Wang Hua, and at the same time appointed Wang Hua as commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy Nanjing Fleet!

    The main reason why this military formation ceremony, which influenced the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, is so simple is that the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty is too weak now. It is just four thousand-material warships. It would be a joke to make such a big show of it!

    But even such a simple military formation ceremony still fell into the eyes of caring people!

    At a commercial port not far from the Tianjin Military Port, two Westerners put away their binoculars. They just witnessed the scene of four warships of the Ming Royal Navy leaving the port!

    "Brand, maybe you won't believe it. I just had a premonition that the world will undergo huge changes, and it is very likely that the entire Western world will have to pay the price for this change!" A man of medium build with thick red hair  The middle-aged man with a beard and eyes as sharp as an eagle said to his companions in English!

    And his companion named Brand is a handsome young man in his twenties, with a strong and tall figure, blond hair, a high nose, and deep blue eyes!

    "Lord Earl Edward!" Handsome Brand leaned forward slightly and said, "I'm afraid your hunch is very accurate. The Eastern Empire, which originally had no interest in the world, has set its sights on the ocean. They are too powerful. Even if they unite the entire Europe  No country can compete with it, and it is very likely that in ten years, the Ming Empire will become the new empire on which the sun never sets!"

    "That's too bad!" Earl Edward sighed: "I personally think that we should completely kill the Ming Dynasty's exploration before it really goes to the ocean. Even if we can't occupy this land, we can't let it go."  They broke through the confines of the ocean!¡±

    Brand looked at Earl Edward with admiration and said: "Your opinion is very correct. With the strength of the Ming Empire, if they are allowed to develop a powerful navy, I am afraid that the entire Europe no the entire world will surrender.  This huge empire is at its feet!¡±

    Earl Edward nodded as if he made up his mind and said: "Then don't hesitate. I should write a letter to the Spanish Governor in Manila, asking him to abandon all prejudices and unite with the European countries in the Far East to jointly defeat the Ming Empire.  The navy is strangled in the cradle!"

    ¡°You are a far-sighted guy, but it¡¯s a pity that you shouldn¡¯t say these bastard things in public!¡±

    When Earl Edward and Brand were saying these words, neither of them noticed that not far behind them, a young man dressed as a coolie showed a proud smile on his face, and then disappeared slowly.  On the dock!

    That night!

    ¡°The Poseidon Trident, which departed from the UK and arrived in Tianjin via Mexico, Manila, and Osaka, suddenly caught fire at the Tianjin Commercial Port Terminal. Because the fire broke out late at night, and the fire was so intense that it was impossible to put out the fire!

    In less than half an hour, the "Poseidon Trident" was engulfed in fire and sank into the Tianjin Commercial Port!

    When daybreak came, people gathered around one after another, shaking their heads and sighing at the mast that only exposed less than a foot above the sea!

    "These poor guys have touched the edge of the treasure, but unfortunately everything was taken away by a fire!"

    "Yes! This is really an unfortunate disaster. I heard that none of the crew members on the ship escaped. I really don't know what they are doing?"

    "What can they do? Drinking, of course! I saw them getting drunk with my own eyes. These poor British guys always don't know how much they drink, and this time it cost them their lives!"

    Many Western businessmen on the dock were discussing the location of the sunken ship, but none of them questioned why such a huge fire did not detonate the gunpowder on the ship!

    Maybe some people have questioned this question in their hearts, but when they look at the guys at the dock wearing brown robes, pointed hats, and white boots, all their doubts disappear!

    Anyone who has spent some time in the Ming Dynasty knows that there is a group of guys in this land who are more terrifying than the Inquisition. Their name is Dongchang!

    While Tianjin Commercial Port was dealing with the matter of the "Poseidon Trident", on the sea about a hundred miles away from Tianjin, Zhu Youxiao and four beautiful women stood on the deck of the Xiangyun, looking at a red sun.  Jump out of the sea!

    For Zhang Yan, Ning Xi, and Cheng Yuyan, the vastness of the sea has shocked them. Looking at the red sun rising over the water, it is like a sharp sword piercing their souls!

    Faced with this situation, Ning Xi felt the most emotional and directlyThe words came out of his mouth: "The sky is full of waves, and the golden crow breaks through the sea and sky. If you want to find the hibiscus tree, ride the wind among the clouds."

    Zhang Yan's beautiful eyes lit up, she pondered for a moment, her face turned slightly red, and she gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and said: "The vast sea shares the sky, and the red sun shines on Kyushu. There is no need to look for the fairy mountain, the dragon is in my arms."

    Ning Xi looked at Zhang Yan¡¯s shy face and couldn¡¯t help hugging her and laughing softly: ¡°Sister Yan, I don¡¯t know if this dragon son is in her arms now, or has been in her arms for a long time?¡±

    The peach blossoms on Zhang Yan's face became even brighter, and she pulled Ning Xi to fight, saying angrily: "Girl, if you say all those Meng Lang things, if word gets out, won't it make people laugh at our sisters for not having the right rules?"

    Ning Xi knew that Zhang Yan was pregnant, so she naturally didn't dare to make too much noise with her. She let Zhang Yan get a little itchy and turned her attention to Zhu Youxiao!

    "Does your Majesty have any good words?" Ning Xi looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked with a smile!

    Since marrying into the palace, Ning Xi has discovered that although Zhu Youxiao is very familiar with ancient and modern Chinese and foreign classics and has extremely novel insights, reciting poems and writing poems is not his strong point, so she spoke out against him!

    Who would have thought that Zhu Youxiao came right away and said loudly: "The Kunpeng floats on the blue sea, and thousands of boats strive for dominance. With the majesty of the emperor, who dares to rival him in the world?"

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao was not in trouble, Ning Xi could only curl her lips and say: "Your poem is quite satisfactory, with rhymes and rhymes, but it just doesn't fit the situation and the scene, so it's not a good work!"

    Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "There have been thousands of poets throughout the ages, and they have written tens of thousands of poems. How many can be regarded as masterpieces? So the vast majority of poets just make up for the situation and moan for no reason.  It¡¯s just a pile of words. If you take this thing seriously, would you be a fool?¡±

    Ning Xi never expected that she would not be able to embarrass Zhu Youxiao, but would be ridiculed as a fool. Her little face was so wrinkled that it looked like a bun, and even Zhang Yan couldn't help but pinch her face!

    After watching the sunrise, Zhu Youxiao ordered to return!

    On the way back, Zhu Youxiao called Wang Hua to his side and warned: "This time you lead Xiangyun, Lingyun, Shuangyun and four hundred marines to Nanjing. In Nanjing, you can recruit sailors and marines nearby. I will give you  Do you think the establishment of 20,000 people, including 15,000 sailors and 5,000 marines, is enough?"

    Wang Hua pondered for a moment and said: "That's enough, but how can we replenish the warships and equipment of 20,000 people?"

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said boldly: "You don't have to worry about this. You can get warships and artillery from nearby Nanjing. For the equipment of the Marine Corps, I will send the master craftsmen from the Manufacturing Office to Nanjing to build an arms factory. As long as the arms factory is built,  It will be much more convenient to deploy troops in the entire southeast, as well as in the Japanese and Nanyang directions!"

    Wang Hua then gained confidence and stood at attention and said: "I promise to pull up the Nanjing fleet within one year!"

    Zhu Youxiao patted Wang Hua on the shoulder with satisfaction and said: "Remember, I am sending you there not only to build a fleet, but most importantly, I want you to become the sharp blade of the imperial court in the southeast!" (Remember this)  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
