Chapter seven hundred and thirty ninth death
"The fleet is back?"
Hearing this, the ministers were stunned for a moment, and Lu Chensheng stood up suddenly on the dragon throne.
He had held countless hopes for the long voyage. Now he finally waited until the other party came back, and I don’t know how many things he brought back?
Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng hurriedly walked out of the palace.
"Let's go, follow me to the dock to take a look."
Lu Chensheng's face was full of joy, and he couldn't wait to see the people on the fleet and listen to their reports.
The ministers responded one after another and followed Lu Chensheng.
After leaving the palace, Lu Chensheng got on the dragon chasing, and the ministers followed behind him.
They had sedan chairs outside the palace, but in such an occasion, if they had to make sedan chairs, they would be inconsistent with etiquette, so they would follow them all the way.
At this time, countless people had gathered on the dock.
Everyone looked at so many ships and pointed at them.
"At the beginning of the year, I watched the fleet leave with my own eyes. Now it's summer, I finally saw it back. It took half a year to go back and forth, which is really a long time!"
"Yes, I don't know if this ship has only arrived at the New World? I heard that this ship has gone to the New World, and I don't know what happened."
"I heard that when the ship left, there were a lot of treasures on it. It was worth millions, and I don't know how many things I brought when I came back this time?"
The people on the side were talking at this moment, and the faces of the ship were full of curiosity.
While everyone was talking, the guard of honor in the distance slowly approached, and the people were separated from each other.
Judging from this posture, the people don’t have to think about who the person coming was, so they quickly retreated, fearing that they would hit the dragon chassis.
Lu Chensheng got off the dragon chassis and saw the densely packed ships on the pier. At this moment, the ships repaired many places, which was completely different from the brand new ships when they left.
Apart from this accident, there are also many broken marks on the ship, and there seems to be a little less in number.
"Student Hai Qing, I have met the emperor!"
Lu Chensheng was looking at the fleet. A group of people walked up to him and bowed when they saw Lu Chensheng.
Lu Chensheng looked at it intently, and immediately smiled when he saw the visitor, "It's you, can you gain something after following the ship this time?"
Lu Chensheng was quite happy to see the student in front of him.
Hai Qing doesn't like research so much. During this long voyage, he personally asked Lu Chensheng for helping him follow him after hearing this.
He wanted to see how the new continent looked, and he also wanted to have a long experience.
Lu Chensheng agreed, and he followed the ship.
"Fortunately, I won a lot of money this time!"
Hearing this, Hai Qing's face was filled with a strong joy, and then he handed over a list.
"This is the account required by the commander to record and count. Please read it."
Hai Qing did not stop all the credit, but mentioned the commander.
At this time, the commander beside him also saluted, his face full of excitement.
When he was elected as the commander this time, it was elected by the ministers, and then Lu Chensheng made the final choice.
But he had never seen the Emperor. At this moment, he saw Lu Chensheng, and was still so close, which made him feel like a great glory.
"Well, no one has given you a guide on the first voyage, no charts, you did a great job."
Lu Chensheng still recognizes the ability of this commander.
It can be seen that this time I went out to the fleet, but overall, the other party brought most of the people back and arrived in the New World.
This is already a successful voyage.
"Xie Sheng praised him!"
Fan Miaoyi said excitedly.
Lu Chensheng looked down at the accounts and asked, "What trouble did you encounter this voyage? What is the situation over the New World?"
At this moment, the ministers on the side were all looking at the fleet coming back, with emotion on their faces.
The old traces on the fleet can be seen. How much hardship has it been experienced? This time the voyage was not going smoothly.
"When the emperor said, the storm on the sea is too big. Once the waves rise, although the ships are tall, there is still a possibility of overturning. There are many countries on the New World, some of which are tribes, and several of them have strong military strength.
When we passed by one of the countries, we wanted to trade with them, but the other party wanted to embezzle all our wealth and had to fight a battle.
After this battle, we lost 89 soldiers, thirty crew members, and seriously injured forty people. However, we also seized a lot of jewelry and gold, worth about two million taels of silver."
"What did you say? Eighty-nine soldiers were killed?"
Lu Chensheng frowned and did not care about how much jewelry and gold he had seized.
"How many people were killed in battle with the Tartars before? Why did so many people die in foreign countries?"
Fan Miao looked full of ashamed, "When the war broke out, our soldiers got off the ship, and when they were drinking water in the local area, many of them died of food poisoning, or because they were not accustomed to the local environment, which caused them to be sick and unable to cure them, and they died."
They were not very familiar with that place. Some were bitten by snakes, some were sick, and many things led to a very high quota of soldiers killed this time.
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he sighed.
In this case, it is no wonder that the other party is not familiar with foreign countries, so these are inevitable.
It’s just that so many soldiers died in battle, which really makes people feel a little heartbroken.
"Have you brought back the soldiers' bodies?"
"I'm going back to the emperor because the weather is hot and the journey back is long, so the body was brought back after being cremated."
There is really no way to preserve such hot weather. If you bring it back along the way, it is difficult to ensure that nothing else will happen.
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he nodded. If cremation is cremated, it will be cremated. It is better than not bringing it back.
"Confirm the families of the fallen soldiers, send them to them, and choose a good day to bury the garden and tomb."
"yes!"
When Fan Miao heard this, he nodded immediately, "Sir, I want to send it to the soldiers' families in person..."
This time it was the team he led, and he didn't lead it well, so he wanted to send it in person to see if it could make up for one or two.
Seeing Fan Miao's eyes firm, Lu Chensheng hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly to promise.
In fact, it was not a good thing to ask him to send it, but seeing that he was so determined, Lu Chensheng promised it.
When Lu Chensheng learned that so many soldiers had died in battle, he was much weaker when he wanted to read the accounts. He closed the accounts and asked about some situations on the New World.
