Hearing the secret edict, Zheng Zhilong felt his heart tightening. Could it be that the emperor really sent people all the way to fight the autumn wind, right?
Jinyiwei Baihu stepped forward and spoke a few words to Zheng Zhilong. After receiving the agreement, he and the rest of the group began to enter the main hall of the Catholic Church to assemble the long-wave radio station and generator.
After connecting several plug interfaces according to the numbers, press the computer one-button start button.
After the screen lit up for a while, a mechanical sound came from the screen's built-in speaker.
[The computer starts successfully, please enter the face data and press the end key. 】
Zheng Zhilong was startled by the sound. At Luo Guan's signal, he walked to the screen. Luo Guan stood aside and moved his finger that was blocking the camera.
"Why can these sunglasses make sounds?"
Zheng Zhilong asked curiously, waiting for Luo Guan to explain it in detail. After giving the instructions, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao looked at the screen in front of them with serious expressions.
It’s not that Zheng Zhilong respects Chongzhen very much, it’s just that this thing is so magical, so special!
Think of him, Zheng Zhilong, who traveled across the sea for decades and saw all kinds of things, including more advanced knowledge from Europe and other countries, as well as various exquisite glass products.
But these are still within his cognitive system, but this long-wave radio station with an integrated computer and generator is really not in his knowledge system.
This thing, he is beyond the scope!!!
"You mean, this thing can allow His Majesty, who is far away in the capital, to send a message to me instantly, and I can also send a message to His Majesty, who is far away in the capital, instantly???
And it will only recognize me, and no one can use it except me."
"How is this possible? Who made this thing? This is unheard of!
How can there be such a clever mechanism in this world?"
"Yes, Lord Tongzhi, and Lord Commander.
On this screen, the left area is the chat area, and the right half is the text handwriting recognition area..."
Luo Guan opened the screen, showed how to use it, and then wrote it out word by word.
【Arrived】
"Sir Tongzhi, please wait, the capital will send your Majesty's secret decree soon. This secret decree is divided into two parts.
Part of it is an explicit decree that will be announced to the world, and part of it is a secret decree that only you and your Majesty know."
"It's okay, Luo Baihu, I just heard your introduction. His Majesty asked you to bring two sets of this treasure. In other words, the other one can also receive information from a long distance?"
"Yes, one of them will be used as a replacement after the radio station is damaged, but the channels you have here are one-way channels. They can only send and receive information in the direction of the capital, and cannot transmit information to each other."
Luo Guan understood what Zheng Zhilong meant, so he said directly that if there were no restrictions, Zheng Zhilong would definitely find a way to get one to Japan so that he could control it there.
As for concealing one and waiting for them to deliver Zheng Zhilong's message themselves, there is no need, because Chongzhen will continue to send people through Zheng Zhilong's path later.
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong was also disappointed. It was a pity that such a magical weapon could not be freely used by him.
However, through this radio station, he has greatly improved his view of Chongzhen in the capital. At least, Chongzhen has a way to directly understand the outside passage without going through a second pass.
"Your Majesty's decree has arrived."
Luo Guan looked at the paragraphs of text that gradually appeared, and after signaling a request to Zheng Zhibao, he and Zheng Zhibao stepped aside, leaving Zheng Zhilong to watch alone.
"It's very mysterious."
Zheng Zhilong whispered to himself, looking at the sentence displayed on the screen, he gradually became confused. This thing was actually displaying words continuously.
Part of the imperial edict.
First, he praised Zheng Zhilong and awarded Zheng Zhilong as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Navy Army that was to be established in the Ming Dynasty. All his subordinates could be enrolled in the register and they would have to take care of their own food and salary. Only a guard station with a strength of 5,000 people would be given.
Zheng Chenggong was called to study in Beijing and join the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy, which was about to be built in the capital. After two years of study, he could directly become an official in the court.
At the same time, Zheng Zhilong was rewarded with 100 pounds of perfume, 10 bicycles, 100 pairs of silk stockings, and 100 pieces of trousers and clothes, with a total value of thousands of gold. Zheng Zhilong had to send a ship to Tianjin Port himself, and then go to the capital to collect all the reward materials.
There are some follow-up arrangements. Chongzhen will have to wait for a while and Zheng Zhilong sees that there are many good things in the capital before making arrangements.
"I must not have woken up because His Majesty actually rewarded our Zheng family with so much property and even asked Sen'er to go to the capital."
Zheng Zhilong shook his head. The contents of this explicit edict were full of benefits and showed kindness for nothing. He was not only happy but also puzzled. He continued to look at the secret edict that was being transmitted.
The Dutch conducted transactions with the Capital Daming Trading Company and required him to release the corresponding cargo ships carrying the Daming Trading Company.
Ship tax is not allowed, and those goods can also be sold to Zheng Zhilong for some shares, just by exchanging grain.
"Da Ming Trading Company??? Your Majesty, are you trying to imitate Europe? Who is so smart?"
In the distance, Zheng Zhibao looked at Zheng Zhilong with an expression that was doubtful for a moment, and then had a calculating look in his eyes. He was so anxious that he wanted to rush over to see the content of the message on the screen.
Zheng Zhilong took a pen and paper and wrote down some content on the small table. Then he pressed the clear button mentioned by Luo Guan. Suddenly, all the words disappeared.
"Zheng Tongzhi, have you finished reading?"
"Luo Baihu, thank you for your hard work. I have ordered people to prepare a banquet to welcome you."
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Zheng on behalf of the brothers."
After the maids in the mansion took Luo Guan and others away, Zheng Zhilong touched the radio and then looked at Zheng Zhibao.
"His Majesty made me the Chief of the Navy and gave us a guard station, but he asked us to take care of our own food and pay..."
"This is a great thing. Congratulations, brother. If Sen'er goes to Beijing to study, let's take care of it. Under the guidance of the emperor, he can directly become an official in two years."
After listening to Zheng Zhilong's narration, Zheng Zhibao happily congratulated.
The Zheng family is united. If Zheng Zhilong's son joins the court and becomes an official, he will be able to bring higher development policies to the Zheng family in the future.
Besides, doing business while floating on the sea is not as comfortable as being a down-to-earth official.
"I'm wondering who runs the Ming Dynasty trading company your Majesty mentioned, whether they are merchants from the north or nobles.
Those rewarded items don’t look like valuable things, so why can they be purchased by the Dutch at high prices?”
"Isn't this easy? Brother, didn't you say that we should collect the rewards ourselves? In two days, I will take two boats and go directly to Tianjin along the coastal road. By then, won't you know if they are fooling us?"
"Yeah, that's right. You remember to find out who made this radio station and this board that can display words, and find a way to lure it over."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong nodded in agreement, and then discussed with Zheng Zhibao for a while, and then sent the news through the radio that he had accepted the order and that his brother Zheng Zhibao would go to the capital to receive the reward on his behalf.
Zheng Zhilong did not feel that the mysterious and unpredictable ability of this radio station had given him a long-lost awe of the imperial power in Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital.
This is a kind of awe for people who can do what they cannot. In the past, he felt that he knew more than the emperor, but now it seems that the emperor probably has as much as him.
Dear book friends, writing is not easy, and updating 6,000 times a day is even more difficult. I really beg you to order all of them!! Please everyone.
