A Dream of Red Mansions: the Strongest Playboy

But when he thinks of the future, the need to develop overseas trade and even promote colonization, Zhen Baoyu can only grit his teeth!

"I changed it!"

"Come out!"

"Zheng He! Eunuch Three Treasures!"

A handsome, eight-foot-tall Yingwei man, dressed in a brocade robe, with a sword on his waist and a crotch, walked into the room, greeted Baoyu with respect, and said, "Zheng He, see your son."

Zhen Baoyu smiled and said to Hu Xueyan, "This is Zheng He."

"Ma Sanbao?" Hu Xueyan was from the Qing Dynasty. Of course, he knew Zheng He's name. He also knew that the young master had the stunt of summoning historical celebrities, and his voice trembled with excitement.

The naval commander-in-chief chosen by Zhen Baoyu was none other than Zheng He!

In terms of personal conditions, Zheng He, first of all, his loyalty can be guaranteed, and secondly, his navigational skills and naval combat capabilities are not explained. Finally, what Zhen Baoyu values ​​is that Zheng He has the experience and ability to command a super fleet of more than XNUMX people!

He is commanding the world's largest fleet of treasure ships, with a total of more than XNUMX people, seven voyages to the South Seas, and sailed to the coast of Africa!

Most importantly, Zheng He has no eggs!

Why did the emperor feel at ease and boldly use Zheng He, and take the most powerful fleet of hundreds of thousands of people to the West, because he has no descendants and will not rebel!

Whether leading troops, fighting, colonizing or being loyal, Zheng He is the best candidate.

What?You said that Zheng He could not do business?

Zhen Baoyu brought out this navy. On the surface, he said to the court that it was a trade fleet. In fact, when he went out to sea, he used a knife, set up a cannon, and transformed himself into a pirate colony!

Which of the so-called navigators at this time is not a pirate leader with bloody hands?

Do business skills matter?Besides, with Zheng He's intelligence, he was just forced to buy and sell. No, he was buying and selling backwards. Is it difficult?It really can't be done, send Hu Xueyan to be his deputy, chief financial officer, okay?

Zheng He sat down respectfully: "What's your master's motivation for the last commander?

Zhen Baoyu simply starts with the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

When Zheng He heard that the Ming Dynasty had perished at this time, China's splendid country was destroyed and the Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry fell, tears filled his eyes, anger burst into the crown, he couldn't help himself, and knelt in front of Zhen Baoyu.

"Master, I was given the surname Zheng by the Emperor Chengzu, and I am deeply favored by the country! I dare to ask the master to restore my Han rivers and mountains, return my clothes, expel the Tartars, and restore China!"

Zhen Baoyu smiled.

This is another reason why he chose Zheng He.

Zheng He would never have a favorable impression of the Qing Dynasty.

Summoning him out, the first request is anti-Qingfu, er, not the Ming Dynasty, but the country of the Han people.

Zhen Baoyu was a Han Chinese and wanted to oppose the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, Zheng He's ambitions were the same, and he could guarantee Zheng He's loyalty and full assistance.

Zhen Baoyu stood up, grabbed Zheng He's hand, and said sternly, "I'm going to use Zheng He's power to expel the Tartars and restore China!"

With tears in his eyes, Zheng He couldn't wait for his heart to sink to the ground, so he immediately rebelled.

Zhen Baoyu said indifferently: "But you also know that the Qing Dynasty was strong at this time and had a solid foundation. If you want to rebel from the country, there will never be the slightest chance."

Zheng He nodded.

Zhen Baoyu said generously: "If you want to talk about opportunities, there is only overseas! At this time, the era of world sailing begins, whoever controls the ocean will control the entire world!"

"All countries are desperately developing their navies, occupying the oceans, and expanding their power. Only the blind and stupid emperors of the Qing Dynasty, who claim to be the emperor of the heavens, enforce the isolation and isolation of the country, and lead China step by step to accumulate poverty and weakness, and mislead the country and the people!" "I just need you to bring a powerful navy to carry out foreign trade, fight against competitors, plunder resources and money, and at the same time establish a wide range of colonies, attack the colonizers of Eastern and Western Europe, and expand your strength. In the future, you will be strong, with strong ships and cannons, A million soldiers can land across the sea, command the Central Plains, destroy the Qing Dynasty Tartars, and restore my Chinese clothes! Restore the glory of China!"

Zheng He's blood boiled when he heard it, he stood up suddenly, and said solemnly: "I would rather be for the son and Zhonghua.

Hu Xueyan also felt his blood and clenched his fists.He worked hard in the Qing Dynasty and accumulated huge wealth, but in the end he ended up miserably, ransacked his home and exiled, and hated the Qing Dynasty thoroughly.

The three sat down and began to discuss again.

"The most urgent task is to build a powerful fleet," Zhen Baoyu said solemnly: "Although there is Zheng He, but without the fleet, he can't do anything by himself."

"But the Qing Dynasty enforced that inch boards were not allowed to go into the sea." Hu Xueyan understood the policy very well: "Our shipbuilding capacity is no longer at the level of the Ming Dynasty, and we can only build flat-headed boats that sail on rivers and offshore waters. As long as there is a slight storm, the ship will capsize. Thirteen foreign companies can only transport trade in the coastal waters."

"If others can't make it, it doesn't mean I can't!" Zhen Baoyu smiled slightly: "Look at this!"

He threw out a drawing.

[Manufacturing map of sail battleship]!

Just this design drawing cost Zhen Baoyu a full 10000 points!

Can be described as sky-high.

You get what you pay for every penny. If you want to dominate the Seven Seas and achieve great things, you must rely on the most advanced technology of this era.

No technology?Then buy it!

This sailing battleship is a brand-new battleship built by the United Kingdom in 1759 and built in 1765!

Its most glorious record was in the Battle of Trafalgar, which broke out near Cape Trafalgar, Spain in 1805. The British fleet, which was dominated by sailing battleships, defeated France and Spain led by Villeneuve in one fell swoop. The combined fleet established Britain's hegemony as a maritime power!

That is to say, this thing, 100 years later, is still called the most powerful warship in the world!none of them!

The empire on which the sun never sets was established by this sailing battleship in one fell swoop.

Seeing the blueprint of the sailing battleship, Zheng He was very excited. He picked it up and studied it carefully for a long time. He nodded and said, "This sailing battleship is indeed advanced. It is equipped with 108 cannons, has a crew of 850, and can store 35 tons of gunpowder and 120 tons of artillery shells, can travel continuously for six months at a time. But it is fast and suitable for any occupation, colonization and pirate missions. If there are 10 such warships, I am confident that I can sweep the East and South Oceans!"

Hu Xueyan was a little worried: "But in China, there is no shipyard that can produce such sailing battleships. 067"

"It doesn't matter," Zhen Baoyu said indifferently: "This young master has money! It doesn't matter if we don't have anything in the country, as long as we occupy an island, start building a shipyard, recruit skilled craftsmen, and buy Western artillery, and work hard, we're not afraid that we won't be able to get it out!"

Zheng He and Hu Xueyan were excited.

Yes.

Money can make a ghost run the mill.

With the young master's current rate of making gold and earning three million silver a day, is he worried that he has no money to build a sailing battleship?

Zheng He said solemnly, "Don't worry, Young Master, I have already thought about where to build an overseas colonial base."

He pointed to the southern end of the Malacca Strait: "This is it!"

Zhen Baoyu saw that it was the southern tip of Malaya, er, its current name is Singapore!

Zheng He smiled lightly and said, "I went to the Western Ocean seven times back then, and I brought a large army to anchor here many times. This is the main traffic road connecting the South and Indian Oceans. As long as I control this place, it is equivalent to containing two oceans with one hand. Westerners and Easterners must look at us!"

Zhen Baoyu nodded, thinking: "As expected of Zheng He, he immediately fell in love with a strategic location like Singapore. Indeed, the small country of Singapore can develop because it guards the key points of the two oceans? "

"Master, as long as you give me 50 large ships and thousands of sailors, I can help you build this small land." Zheng He said solemnly: "Set up a shipyard here, recruit craftsmen from the East and the West, and buy Western Artillery, within a year, I will definitely be able to build the sailing battleship you gave me on the blueprint!"

Zhen Baoyu nodded.

Someone asked, since there are [Sail Battleship Drawings], why do you need to buy Western artillery?

Because the artillery of the Qing Dynasty is too backward!

If the military modernization of the various dynasties is ranked, it can be said responsibly that the Qing Dynasty cannot compete with the Ming Dynasty, or even the Yuan Dynasty.

There is no other reason, because it is backward!

Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was still in the era of slavery. How much science do you expect Nurhaci to know about his big nose?

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the military technology had improved in the Kangxi era, it only stayed in the rough and inferior technology of the red-clothed general cannon. Even the artillery used in the Ming Dynasty was much more advanced than the Qing Dynasty.

After the Qing Dynasty unified the whole country, lest the Han people would rebel, it was strictly forbidden to develop advanced artillery, and even kitchen knives and hatchets were subject to registration control!

What advanced weapons can you expect the Qing Dynasty to develop?

On the contrary, because the Europeans often kill each other, they are all energized and desperate to climb the military technology tree. If you come up with a cannon, I will immediately send spies to steal it, go to the cottage, pirate it, and develop a more advanced cannon. !

In Europe in the 19th century, a military technology from the most advanced Britain took only ten years to be pirated all over the sky, and even spread to the most backward and easternmost Russia.

Just ten years!

The so-called birth of sorrow and death of peace.The Qing Dynasty was in the dream of the Celestial Empire, and in the eight-part article on the ignorance of the people's policy to suppress the blood of the domestic people, it slowly destroyed the creativity of China, gradually fell behind, and finally almost perished.

Hearing Zheng He's assurance, Zhen Baoyu took out a handful of silver bills from his arms without saying a word.

A full five million taels!

Hu Xueyan widened his eyes.

Although the young master is making gold every day, it is running water!

These five million bank notes are almost equivalent to all of Zhen Baoyu's current liquidity.

In a word, Zhen Baoyu spent a lot of money, and the heavy treasure was placed on Zheng He!

Zheng He also knew Baoyu's expectations and values, knelt down, and said solemnly, "Master, within a year, I will produce 10 sailing battleships and dominate the South China Sea!"

Zhen Baoyu said with a smile: "It's been a long time, come up with some common stuff first, and beat our competitors! The rich family of Pan, Lu, Wu, and Ye have lived a very comfortable life. I want to let them have a good time. Bankruptcy!"

Zheng He's eyes were bright and bright: "Anything can be used to the extreme?"

"Of course!" Zhen Baoyu laughed, "If you can't loot, you can't pirate, and you can't kill people, I want you, Zheng He, who has gone to the West seven times, for nothing?"

"Okay!" Zheng He stood up slowly, his tiger body exuding a strong murderous aura: "Pan, Lu, Wu, and Ye clans are all the lackeys of the Manchu Qing and the source of their financial resources. The final commander will disguise himself as a pirate and destroy them. Fleet, so that their ships cannot go to sea!"

"Occasionally hijack our own fleet," Zhen Baoyu said with a smile: "It's fair and reasonable, the provincial villains suspect us!"

Hu Xueyan added: "Gao Ming! From time to time, I send some ships loaded with food, craftsmen, ordnance, and cannons, and they are robbed by you! You can keep on replenishing your strength! Hahaha!"

The three looked at each other and laughed together.

Without further ado, Zheng He and Hu Xueyan immediately sailed south by boat to Guangzhou to do things cheaply.

Zhen Baoyu stared at the backs of the two generals and smiled slightly.

5 more to offer!Ask for your support!

Chapter 99 The Imperial Examination Examination!What about scumbags? 6 More customized!

Now, he has an official position, talents, generals, technology, funds, and stupid and ignorant opponents.

"However, Guangzhou Thirteen Foreign Trade, the highest official position is the promotion, the sixth-rank, and is controlled by the Pan family." Zhen Baoyu remembered Hu Xueyan's words and frowned: "I am a seventh-rank manager, and I am a Thirteen Yang. The smallest official position. No wonder the four major families don’t give me much attention.”

He sneered: "It seems that we have to find a way to pass the imperial examinations and raise the official position."

After processing this time, it's time to hold the lamp again.
