Chapter 352 Back to Anhai, Fujian’s scenic spots? I don’t know

After leaving one battalion of the navy and nearly 2,000 Fujian naval forces to temporarily stay in Dongfan and preside over the work of re-establishing order, Chongzhen led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to formally board the ship and return to Quanzhou.

At this time, in Quanzhou Prefecture, Xia Yujin was pacing in the government office with a sad look on his face. The county magistrate and magistrate beside him had learned over the past two days why Xia Yujin was so anxious and frightened.

After all, any small prefect in any place would suddenly encounter the emperor personally visiting him. This suddenness was really sudden, and he arrived in a blink of an eye.

At first they were also doubting whether there was someone pretending to be someone, but after thinking about it, the Royal Navy admitted that Xia Yujin had also met the real person, and if there was a fake, it would be a ghost.

"Master Xia, you don't have to worry so much. We have arranged everything we can. Even if His Majesty comes to check, there will be no problem."

"Yes, it's a good thing that the first thing your Majesty did when he came was to personally march to attack Dongfan. He would definitely not be able to come back within a month and a half.

Mr. Xia, you don’t need to worry too much. The officials who sent the message to Mr. Xiao should have arrived now. When His Majesty comes back, Governor Xiao should also be there. If the sky falls, there will still be tall people holding it up.

"

"That's right, Mr. Xia doesn't need to worry so much, but what's strange is that His Majesty is marching on his own expedition. Why is there no one in the court to stop him?

These fawning and treacherous ministers in the court, if something happens to His Majesty and the country is shaken, I wonder how they will face the world."

Quanzhou Guard's words made Xia Yujin nod repeatedly, but he often read newspapers and knew that the courtiers should not be blamed for this matter. It was the emperor's words that no one in the court could refute.

"What your Majesty will do is not something you or I can say. It's just my hunch. I'm afraid Governor Xiao didn't arrive in time. Do you know the news that came back yesterday?"

"Master Xia, are you talking about the news that there is a rain of fire flying towards Dongfan in Anhai Town? According to the news coming back from Jinjiang, the entire sky was burned by the rain of fire that day.

Hundreds of rockets flew into the sky, flying so fast, so high, and so far that if it weren't for the testimony of many people, even the subordinates would not believe that time had such weapons."

"Yes, it's that thing. He probably launched it to destroy the red-haired fleet in Dongfan.

The newspaper that came back from Nanjing said that the Royal Army defeated Huang Taiji, but it only took two days. The newspaper of the military parade that His Majesty returned to Beijing also said that the power of those aircraft and cannons was great.

The Royal Navy is equipped with the same equipment as the Army, and there is a rain of rockets that has never happened before. I guess that His Majesty is already preparing to return at this time."

"No way???"

After listening to Xia Yujin's analysis, the guards, magistrates and magistrates finally understood the reason why he was so anxious. For a small magistrate without a backer, facing the emperor's examination, it was really a step from heaven to hell.

"Perhaps you are worrying too much, sir? Maybe His Majesty just came here to inspect the navy, and after winning the battle and returning to Anhai, he will return to the capital?"

The words of defense made the magistrate and Xia Yujin look at the mentally retarded at the same time. The emperor has already arrived at your door. Is it possible not to inspect it again?

"Your Majesty's move is probably not just a simple attempt to bring back the small Dongfang. It must be a far-sighted and far-reaching plan."

Chongzhen, who was at sea, didn't know Xia Yujin's anxiety. He was standing on the bow deck of the ship, blowing the strong sea breeze. Standing behind him were Tang Ruowang and Maier.

It's just that Maier's eyes have been scanning everywhere since he boarded the ship. His exploratory heart and curiosity cannot allow him to stand behind Chongzhen like Tang Ruowang.

"Maier, do you think that if this ship hits your Europe, how many ships will it take to crush it?"

"Oh, your Majesty, if it is such a big iron ship, I don't think European artillery shells can penetrate it yet, so it is naturally invulnerable.

If you add those howitzers, you can sink all European sailing ships. At least fifty ships will be needed to turn the entire European sea area into your inland sea."

When Maier saw Chongzhen turn around, he stood up straight and answered seriously.

"Oh? Is it because there are fewer ships? Can your people besiege and control it regardless of the cost?"

"That's right, such a big iron ship, it would have taken the entire Ming Dynasty to build it.

A large iron ship can only transport a thousand people at most, which is not enough to land, so Your Majesty, please..."

"It's really troublesome. There are only twenty 10,000-ton ships and one hundred 5,000-ton ships now. It seems that we have to find the shop owner to buy two hundred 10,000-ton ships.

Oh, what did you just say?"

"????"

Maier suddenly felt a lump in his throat when he heard Chongzhen's words. Good guy, you already have hundreds of ships.

He didn't understand what 10,000 tons and 5,000 tons were, but he knew that two ships of 5,000 tons were equivalent to one ship of 10,000 tons. And there were hundreds of such ships at his feet.

"Maier, your thinking still hasn't changed. This is not okay. Tang Ruowang, what did you tell him? Just forget it if it doesn't work."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Maier has just returned and his heart is toward his hometown. This shows that he has a good heart and is not a very evil person.

Now Mr. Maier just doesn't understand how important the leadership of a wise king is to Europe, let alone what Ming Dynasty can bring to Europe.

I believe that as time goes by, Mr. Maier will admire Your Majesty more and more and become a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty sincerely.

Maier, please apologize to His Majesty."

Tang Ruowang put his hands together and said to Chongzhen. Hearing this, Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, this guy is indeed a China expert.

When the Manchus entered the country, Tang Ruowang quickly tampered with the Chongzhen almanac. After joining the Manchus, he rose through the ranks, relying on his ability to flatter.

When Maier heard what Chongzhen translated, he quickly came to his senses and realized that his life was still in the hands of others.

"Mel, the shop owner has brought some big treasures. When the time comes, you invite that Earl of Netherland, the Council of Ministers, and the parliamentary officials to visit these big treasures."

"Your Majesty, the big treasure you are talking about, are you referring to the rain of rockets flying to Dongfan?"

"Of course not."

Chongzhen's words made Maier breathe a sigh of relief. It's okay if it's not that thing. It's okay if it's not that thing. Are other treasures really treasures?

"Those rocket launchers, in my case, are just small firecrackers at most, you know? Ten thousand rocket launchers are not as powerful as a big treasure brought by the national master.

When you invite them to visit the mushroom cloud, I believe they will know that the truth is within range and contact me with guilt."

"Hiss! Your Majesty, you can't! The rain of rockets alone is already so powerful. If the rockets were ten thousand times more powerful, wouldn't they wipe out the Netherlands?"

"Who said they want to wipe out your Netherlands? It just exploded on the sea to show you its power. Don't worry, at most it will cause a small tsunami in the sea."

Chongzhen's words did not make Maier feel relieved, but made him even more worried. God knows whether this thing is really accurate.

"Oh, the shopkeeper is here, you can ask him."

After Chongzhen finished speaking, Maier and Tang Ruowang looked back subconsciously, only to find that there was no one in the deck passage behind them. Strangely, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"Your Majesty, I am so excited to enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy the sea view from the bow of the boat."

"The cake seller!"

Maier was so frightened that he screamed, and even Tang Ruowang couldn't help but blink and recognize the air in front of him. This was the first time he had seen Chen Ye appear in this way.

Maier could confirm that this was not a deception or anything, the person in front of him really appeared in front of him out of thin air.

"I was just telling them about the big treasures you mentioned, owner. Marquis Meyer is a little worried. Those big treasures you mentioned, owner, are so powerful that they will wipe out the entire Netherlands."

"Oh, I'm worried about this. Marquis Maier can rest assured. Did you see our rocket that day?

If we say to hit the seaport, we will hit the seaport. If we say to hit the fort, we will hit the fort. The unit accuracy is within fifty meters, so you can rest assured that if we say to hit the target ship at sea, we will never hit your land."

Chen Ye cheerfully taught Maier relevant information about Ivan the Great, and also showed selected parts of the modern videos on his mobile phone to Maier.

When he watched the violent shock wave destroy tall buildings he had never seen before, people in the buildings vaporized one after another, and mushroom clouds rose into the sky and enveloped the entire city, Maier opened his mouth and was speechless.

"God, is this divine punishment? How could such a weapon appear in the world?"

"Marquis Maier, you still have a lot of knowledge to absorb. You can familiarize yourself with me in the past few days."

Chen Ye doesn't care whether Maier can accept it or not. He can only choose to accept this thing. There is no room for negotiation. If you obey, you will get benefits. If you don't obey, there will be many people who can change it.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a shareholder of the East India Company and had the authority to win over and cultivate him, and Chongzhen liked the feeling of conquest, Chen Ye would have wanted to support Tang Ruowang.

After sailing at full speed for three hours, the ship returned to the dock in Anhai Town. This time, the armored ship did not hide and tuck it away, and docked directly at the navy's seaside dock.

Since we have already decided to shoot at the mainland of Europe, who cares what the armored ships are doing.

After disembarking from the ship, Chongzhen inspected the navy soldiers again. The soldiers who had had actual combat experience were obviously more bloody than at the beginning.

Of course, this is also the reason why Chongzhen wanted to bring them back to the capital. An army that has gone through blood and fire is always more useful than an army that has been trained.

In the afternoon, Chen Ye and Chongzhen took a car to Zheng's house together. Zheng Zhilong sat carefully on the motorcycle, more worried about their family than Chongzhen and Chen Ye.

If this is a bit aggrieved in Zheng's house, well, it doesn't seem to be a problem? Chongzhen should not be so pretentious.

Zheng Zhilong felt at ease. The arrangement he had made was okay. Fortunately, after arriving at Zheng's house, a group of women from the back house ran to Chongzhen and Chen Ye to express their concerns. They did not say anything about their grievances. This made Zheng Zhilong's heart finally clear.

Let it go.

Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan Guifei, and Concubine Tian Guifei surrounded Chongzhen, constantly looking to see if he was injured. The same was true for Tian Hezi, who was picking up weeds, butterflies, and chrysanthemums.

Chongzhen happily showed them his heroic video, but the content above frightened Empress Zhou and others.

Chen Ye just said that he was on the boat the whole time and coaxed Cai Wei and Cai Die and the others.

"Okay, don't worry. As the commander-in-chief of the navy, if I can't lead the way, how can I serve the people?

Besides, I have a bulletproof vest and bulletproof helmet given by the shop owner, so how can I be injured?"

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. You can't tell me what to do as a concubine. It's just that the battlefield is dangerous, so please be careful in the future.

These days, I and my two sisters are extremely worried. If I had known that my husband was here to fight, I would not have come anyway."

"I am unscathed. Okay, don't talk anymore. We will leave for Quanzhou tomorrow, and then go to Fuzhou the day after. Let's see all of Fujian together."

"Okay, okay."

Queen Zhou knew she couldn't talk anymore, so she didn't continue the topic. Now that Chongzhen had returned unscathed, she could only suppress her worries about the future and discuss the characteristics of Fujian.

"Old Zheng, are there any interesting places in Fujian? Or any famous snacks?"
