"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from the Tianjin Guard, saying that Commander Yan has returned with the Northern Fleet." As soon as a chamberlain entered the palace gate, he couldn't wait to kneel on the ground, and then handed over an urgent message with both hands, while announcing.
When the chamberlain on duty in the Wenhua Hall saw it, he took a few steps forward to pick up the urgent delivery and forward it to Emperor Chongzhen.
When several people in the Wenhua Hall heard this, they didn't care about other things, and their attention was focused on the matter in front of them. Everyone was very curious about what happened in North America, why they didn't come back until now, and where is the King of Tang?
So what? There are a lot of questions like this that we are eager to understand.
Even Zhong Jinwei is the same and wants to know the situation.
Emperor Chongzhen quickly browsed through the express delivery, and then handed it to the servant next to him, indicating that he would pass it on to the ministers below. He said with excitement: "It went well. I came back this time and brought something with me.
Some Indian leaders came to Ming Dynasty."
Zhong Jinwei was the first to get the express delivery. Although he heard a brief introduction from Emperor Chongzhen, he still unfolded the express delivery first and looked at it quickly.
During the express delivery, Yan Yingyuan simply gave a brief summary of what happened.
On the way to North America last year, although there were supply points along the way, we still lost two bow ships at sea. And on the way to North America, the fleet happened to encounter the Spanish fleet attacking a supply point on the Aleutian Islands.
Because of the superior performance of Ming artillery, the Spanish fleet was helpless until the shells on the shore were fired. Just when the Ming army at the supply point was about to run out of ammunition, Yan Yingyuan's fleet appeared. All the warships pressed forward together, leaving the unprepared Spanish fleet
The losses were heavy, and only a few bow warships escaped.
Then he successfully arrived in the Vancouver area of North America, where the Tang Dynasty began to take root and establish its country.
Because of many preparations in advance, after arriving in North America, although there were many difficulties, they were all overcome one by one.
The native Indians that the king of Tang met were either caressed or killed the leader with the power of thunder, and the others were made slaves.
Compared with dealing with the Indians, nature was the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty. After arriving in North America, they immediately faced the problem of surviving the winter.
Before Yan Yingyuan left, the Tang Dynasty King had initially established a foothold in Vancouver. He planned to start spreading his vassal territory to the surrounding areas after the Chinese New Year, that is, this year.
The content in the express delivery is limited, and there is probably only so much. More detailed aspects can only be understood after Yan Yingyuan arrives in the capital.
After the monarchs and ministers in the Wenhua Hall discussed the matter, they first published the matter of the Tang King's successful vassalage in Di Bao and Ming Pao, and spread it throughout the world as quickly as possible.
It was also explained in the "Ming Pao", which has the largest sales volume and the most widespread influence. It will be serialized in the future about the feudal king's dispute in North America.
In just one day, the Northern Fleet returned from distant North America and brought news about the indigenous people there, which spread all over the capital.
As a result, everyone in the capital, whether it was Emperor Chongzhen or ordinary people, eagerly hoped that Yan Yingyuan's team would arrive in the capital as soon as possible.
When this day came, the streets were once again filled with people from the capital, ready to see what the North American Indians looked like.
"Brother, you have traveled far and wide, and compared to me and my second brother, we basically stayed in the capital. What do you think this Indian looks like? Is it the same as the Western Yi who was captured by Duke Xingguo last time?"
The strong man asked the merchant a little curiously.
The three of them were sitting on the second floor of the restaurant facing the street, drinking wine and chatting, waiting to see something strange.
The situation has been good in the past few years, and businessmen have reminded me from time to time that the strong man and the short man have made a lot of money. So as soon as I heard the news, I spent money to reserve a seat so that I didn't have to stand on the street.
It was crowded up there.
This is also because some dignitaries are not keen on this, otherwise even if a strong man is rich, he will not be able to book a seat.
When the merchant heard the strong man's question, he put down the wine glass in his hand, stroked his beard and said: "Brother, even if I travel all over the country, I have never been to North America across the ocean! Brother, I really don't know about your question!"
The short man's personality has become much more cheerful since Duke Xingguo destroyed the Jianlu. He leaned closer to the merchant and guessed: "Could it be a Kunlun slave who is as black as charcoal?"
When the strong man heard this, he immediately retorted: "Impossible, the Kunlun slaves are from Kunlun, not North America!"
The merchant looked at the two sworn brothers. They seemed to be unconvinced by each other's point of view and were about to quarrel. He couldn't help but said: "We will see what happened later. There is no point in guessing now."
After hearing what the elder brother said was reasonable, the strong man and the short man dropped the topic and started eating and drinking.
But after a while, the strong man became interested again. He stretched his neck slightly and reached the middle of the table. He approached the two sworn brothers and said: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty King has established a foothold in North America. Is there any opportunity to make a fortune here?"
?”
This was a good topic. The short man quickly looked at the merchant, ready to hear what his elder brother had to say.
When the businessman heard this, he thought for a moment, and then said with a little regret: "There is a lot of waste there, and there must be many places to make money. But with the state-owned enterprises here, we can't compete with them."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his two hands and started counting them: "All kinds of iron tools, cement..."
Listening to the merchants counting the items that made them a lot of money, the strong man was greedy but helpless. In the end, he had no choice but to sigh and said: "You are really the son of the imperial court, and they have taken all the benefits."
"You can't say that. These things are all produced by state-owned enterprises that pay for research institutes. It's only natural for people to make money. Could it be that they put in the effort and let you make money in the end?" The short man couldn't listen.
When the strong man complained, he retorted.
The strong man's face turned slightly red when the short man said it, he retracted his head, and said with a smile: "I'm just talking! But to be honest, if that research institute allows me to invest, I will definitely invest, and
Put a lot of money into it.”
When the businessman heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, okay, stop daydreaming. With only a few dollars of yours, do you still want to invest in a research institute? Instead of daydreaming, it's better to get some money quickly."
You bastards, let them go to kindergarten and get admitted to a graduate school!"
When the short man heard this, he said with a little pride on his face: "No! My two little bastards have both gone to kindergarten, and their grades are pretty good. Maybe they can get into the exam!"
While the strong man was envious, the merchant added: "In fact, there are many opportunities to make a fortune in North America, but the key is that we don't have any ships. We have to wait a few years to see if various shipyards can have more ships to sell!"
The other two people nodded, and then they were chatting in random directions. Suddenly they heard a commotion in the street, and then they heard someone say: "Come here, come here."
The three of them no longer cared about drinking and chatting. They immediately stretched their heads out of the side window and looked towards the street. They had been waiting for so long just to see this strange moment!
