    The weather is gradually getting hotter.

    Especially in the West, the heat here is extremely hot.

    "At this time, the Scum of the World King Bushi has welcomed new friends, four brand-new ships. Not only that, there are also a large number of wooden bones and many people from Ceylon on board.

    Among them, there are envoys from various countries, who brought gifts and accompanied Xu Jing, just like their ancestors a hundred years ago, they will go to the far east to pay homage to the emperor of the Far East.

    There are also a large number of accompanying people on the ship, including merchants, soldiers, and even hundreds of prisoners of Dashi.

    Xu Jing ambushed the Ottomans in Mugudushu. With the help of Mugudushu people, he almost wiped out all these big cannibals. Hundreds of them became prisoners. At the same time, he also obtained four large ships.

    These Ottomans made Xu Jing feel like he had found a treasure.

    At this time, the Ottomans spanned three continents, with the Mediterranean Sea to the west, the Black Sea to the east, and straddling Europe and Asia. Even in this era, the Francons had already begun their great geographical discoveries, but whether it was shipbuilding technology,  Or maybe it was the experience of naval battles. The Ottomans had extremely rich experience. Even at this period in history, the Ottoman fleet could still easily inflict heavy losses on the Portuguese fleet.

    It has been a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty and a strict sea ban policy was implemented. The craftsmen who once had superb skills have now withered. Countless shipbuilding blueprints have long been destroyed beyond recognition, and many experiences in the sea have long been forgotten.

    "These Ottomans have some craftsmen, most of whom are naval combatants, and they know a lot of navigation knowledge.

    Therefore, despite Wang Xizuo¡¯s repeated suggestions, kill them all.

    Xu Jing still ignored Wang Xizuo's deep friendship and spared their lives.

    The fleet has been fully supplied.

    Not only that, Xu Jing also recruited a lot of people along the way. Xu Jing even studied Ottoman firearms. In this era, the Ottoman firearms era has arrived, butthese firearms are actually the same as the Ming Dynasty's firearms.  Some are well made, others barely show any brilliance.

    But even so, Yang Jian was full of complaints. He believed that Ming Dynasty's firearms were poorly made.

    Xu Jing smiled slightly and said: "I have inquired about the Ottoman Kingdom. Since their establishment, they have continued to grow. They have been engaged in hundreds of years of war with the Francons. They are almost always fighting. Once  For them, the weapons are not sophisticated enough, which means that their attack will be in decline, and their capital will be looted. Therefore, for them, the root of everything is war. This is quite like the Warring States Period.  , the seven heroes competed for hegemony. If anyone fell one step behind, he would die and the country would be destroyed. Therefore, there were Wei soldiers who wore armor with three attributes, wielded a twelve-stone crossbow, carried fifty arrows, placed their weapons on top, and wore crowns and swords;  We have the elite warriors of the Qin State who are well-equipped with crossbows and immortal swords. But our Ming Dynasty has been at peace for too long, and the country has no foreign troubles, so it is natural to collect the soldiers from all over the world and let them go to Nanshan. As for the supervision of the manufacture of firearms, how many people care about it?  ? Just like Yang Qianhu, Yang Qianhu's official position is higher than mine. I am just a commoner. Before I went to sea, I was awarded an editorship, while Qianhu is already ranked fifth grade, but so what?  What? Qianhu still needs to be careful when meeting anyone, otherwise, if a big hat is put on your head, even if it is a mere eighth-grade job, Yang Qianhu will die without a burial place. "

    Xu Jing stood on the side of the ship, raised his head, and looked at the blue sky: "Hey, this reminds me of my mentor. My mentor is really a man of great wisdom. He once said that things that breed in the world  , never arise out of thin air, everything has its own soil. What kind of soil can support what kind of food, and what kind of food can support what kind of people."

    "This time I went to sea, I saw the excellence of these big cannibals and Francons. We must not underestimate them. They have been constantly interacting with each other on that land thousands of years ago.  Attack, for thousands of years, there has never been peace there. Their land is surrounded by the vast ocean. They cannot support themselves with the barren land alone, so they can only rely on the sea to survive. They are constantly fighting wars and naval battles. Everyone  , are racking their brains and using everything to defeat their enemies. If we don't pay attention to these people now, sooner or later, they will become Tatars on the sea and cause great harm to our Ming Dynasty."

    Yang Jian nodded: "So, how should we solve it?"

    "It's very simple." Xu Jingdao: "To deal with the strong, in the words of my mentor, you just need to be stronger than him. Just like your mentor"

    Yang Jian sighed: "Editor Xu, in my humble eyes, is already extremely good."He is a man of great knowledge, tenacity and courage. I really can't imagine how terrible Xu Bianxiu's mentor is.  "

    Xu Jing listened to Yang Jian's praise. Xu Jing smiled and said proudly: "Of course, my mentorhas always valued me very much. Unfortunately, I am still ashamed to be his disciple."

    He patted the side of the boat and cheered up: "This return trip will be a lot easier. Wherever you go, try to get as many seeds as you can, any seeds you want. And if you encounter Francois, you can also ask for more seeds."  They ask for it, and there are other countries If they are willing to send envoys, please also invite them to board the ship." He stared at Yang Jian: "The more, the better."

    Yang Jian scratched his head: "These small countries, even quite a few, are all countries that drink blood Even if they send envoys, what's the point?"

    "But the ministers like it, and the emperor likes it!"

    After Xu Jing finished speaking, he returned to his cabin.

    Although the large ships captured by the Ottomans were larger and more comfortable.

    But Xu Jing still likes to live in this ship, the Scum of the World. The ship is extremely dilapidated. Although it has been repaired several times, it is not comfortable to live in. However, Xu Jing has developed feelings for the ship, the Scum of the World.  , would rather be here.

    In this dark and damp cabin, he began to write down his diary: "Today, there was wind, the waves were half a foot high, and the sea level was calm. The Kingdom of Ceylon sent envoys to board the ship, bringing some peacock feathers and jewels as tribute; today they have had a big meal.  It is known from the population that the Francois once went to the far west and discovered a continent that spanned thousands of miles, was full of rare treasures, and had continuous fertile soil. It was called the land of gold and silver. Could this be the country mentioned by the teacher?  ?¡±

    He thought for a while and then recorded: "But Wang Xizuo never mentioned this matter along the way. It can be seen that Wang Xizuo is very wary of me. What else does he know? Tonight, I will invite him to the cabin and have a drink with him.  Let's see when he is drunk"

    As I wrote this, the tip of my pen paused.

    Xu Jing¡¯s eyes turned red again.

    ????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s always like this when recording, I will think of many things in my mind, think of my mentor¡¯s daily teachings, think of my mentor¡¯s favor for me, think of my mentor

    All these things are running through my mind like a revolving lantern.

    What is left is an unconcealable sadness.

    Taking a deep breath, Xu Jing wrote: "My great teacher, I am returning to Quanzhou this year. I will arrive in Quanzhou within the year. I am homesick and wish I could fly to the capital to pay homage to my teacher. At this time, I don't know what the weather is like in the capital. The weather is gradually getting worse."  Warm, but it is also easy to breed cold and heat symptoms, but I don¡¯t know whether my teacher is in good health. I expected that my teacher would also miss me at this time. There has been no news for a year. My life and death are unknown. I also hope for my teacher.  Don't be anxious about this, otherwise you will die."

    Putting down the pen and sighing, Xu Jing was really worried. He was drifting overseas and never heard from him again. It was almost conceivable that his mentor must have thought that he had been buried in the belly of a fish.

    The pain of losing a disciple, especially the beloved disciple that the mentor always valued, will definitely make the mentor feel miserable.  In this world, no one cares about your own safety except your parents, wife, children, and probably your mentor.

    As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jing felt as if his heart was being stabbed. It hurt it hurt it hurt so much that it hurt so much that it hurt my heart!

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Ma Wensheng was very anxious.

    Ever since the bad news came, the Minister of the Ministry of War has been unable to live with his food. Now the huge project of going to the Western Ocean is still being carried out in an orderly manner. Training personnel, recruiting people, training navy, building large ships, money and food are all.  It was like being thrown into the vast ocean, without any waves.

    But so far, there is still no news about Bu Shi, the scum king of the world. At this time, he became more and more panicked.

    They must have been buried in the belly of the fish just like the ships of the Ministry of War.  If so, then wouldn't all the preparations be in vain?

    Ma Wensheng kept sighing, and his heart ached very much. This is all money, it is money. Although this money belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, there is so much money and food, it is not good to do something.

    I hope Xu Jing is still alive, he must be alive.

    Ma Wensheng has wanted to meet Fang Jifan many times to find out whether Xu Jing is reliable or not. This person is your disciple and you know him best. Please give me an accurate answer.  Otherwise, I really won¡¯t be able to sleep.

    Ma Wensheng did not pay much attention to the preparations for the Japanese pirates, because he knew best that with these elite soldiers, he was not afraid of injustice from the Japanese pirates.

    But at this time, outside the headquarters of the Ministry of War, a report was delivered by fast horse.

    The report was quickly sent to Ma Wensheng¡¯s desk.

    Ma Wensheng lowered his head and glanced at the contents of the report, and his eyebrows suddenly became elated. Sure enough I have lucked out this year, what a good thing!

    He couldn't help but slapped the table, and then stood up: "Quickly, prepare the carriage and sedan to enter the palace."

    Ma Wensheng knew very well that His Majesty seemed to have begun to value the Japanese pirates. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect the Japanese pirates and must let His Majesty know the good news as soon as possible.

    He put away the report, his eyebrows were flying, and he couldn't help but said: "It's impossible for a mere Japanese pirate to escape his grasp!"

    With that said, he left the ministry hall, got on the sedan chair, and hurried towards the Forbidden City.
