From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 793

It is necessary to boost the morale of the army. The subsequent battle will be very cruel. Without a strong will to support it, it will be difficult to win.

On the afternoon of October 12, Bai Yu and others rushed to the Fuzhou Baochuan Factory. The six people were obviously angry and depressed.

"We have buried Brother Kang."

Bai Yu's voice was very low: "His father and mother...can't accept the blow of losing their children. They are very depressed and may have the intention to die."

"There is no way to persuade them. We can only ask the Fuzhou prefect to send someone to take them to the official residence of the government office to live and take care of them temporarily, waiting for them to stabilize their emotions."

"But this is difficult, especially Brother Kang's mother, who seems to have gone...crazy."

At the end, he choked up and couldn't help but lowered his head.

Zhou Yuan looked at them, took a deep breath, and said: "Everyone, Kang Youzhi is not an exception, the Kang family is not an exception, you are the young talents of Dajin, work hard to prevent such things from happening again."

"Many times, only when tragedy happens in front of us, we will understand what we are shouldering."

Bai Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, we understand that we must use our innate talents to change the fate of Dajin."

Zhou Yuan said: "The battleships and cruisers have been launched, and the captains and deputy captains have already been determined. I plan to divide you into Divide into two groups, arrange them to the Hengyong and Hengpan ships, and follow the captain and the deputy captain to learn naval knowledge and naval warfare techniques. "

"This battle will see if you can learn anything."

"At the same time, there are many craftsmen on the ship, some are Portuguese, and some are from our Dajin. If you have any questions, you need to ask them."

"Remember, you are no longer students of the Imperial Academy with noble status. You come here to be apprentices."

Everyone looked at each other and saw the emotions in each other's eyes, which were firm and unshakable ambitions for revenge.

Not only for Brother Kang, but also for others.

After arranging a few students, Guan Lu came up.

He whispered, "Sir, Zou Xueqing and Zhang Tao have both sent letters. The provincial governments of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, in conjunction with the Jinyiwei, have arrested all the Portuguese in less than two days. They are currently being held in local government offices in Guangzhou, Huizhou, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou."

"In addition, Zou Xueqing said that McPherson was very perceptive. He hadn't seen any foreigners go out to sea for two days and had noticed something was wrong. The warships arrived at the Fuzhou dock and began to put pressure on us."

"But with the hostages in hand, the other side was still calm and It was just asking for negotiation. The characters have this power. McFerson will definitely think of adults. "" He said clearly, and want to see it with an adult. "Guan Lu said," But the way the other party gives is unable to guarantee safety. At the same time ... also within our artillery and fire. "Zhou Yuan smiled, and said:" It seems that McFerson is also afraid of death. If we meet him, he will fight to the death..."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "McPherson came all the way here not to exchange his life with mine. I want to see what this old man wants to talk about. "

Guan Lu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "First, transfer ten Portuguese cannons from Fuzhou Baochuan Factory to the dock, otherwise I dare not let you go."

Zhou Yuan said, "Then you go and arrange it. Zeng Cheng will not stop you."

"Yes."

Guan Lu left with a little worry.

Li Yu'an tilted her head and looked at Zhou Yuan, whispering, "My inner strength can't protect me from cannons."

Zhou Yuan said, "McPherson's body can't withstand cannons either. He won't be so stupid as to sacrifice himself in exchange for my life, and then let the Dutch on Dongfan Island reap the benefits."

"I'm afraid he wants to compromise when he sees me this time."

Li Yu'an asked in confusion, "Compromise? Why?"

Zhou Yuan pointed to the front and smiled, "He's afraid of fighting."

Li Yu'an thought for a while, then said, "Ask Kolodiya. It's better to know more about this old man."

"Of course. "

Zhou Yuan walked side by side with her to meet Kolodiya.

Kolodiya was obviously not surprised by the negotiation, but gave her own judgment.

"You can meet."

She was very confident and said slowly: "I have known McPherson for nearly ten years, and I know him too well."

"He is a Portuguese nobleman. His father is one of the largest nobles in Lisbon and has great power in the country."

"Such a background determines that McPherson is selfish, afraid of death, and pursuing interests. He came to the East essentially to make more profits and help his family have a higher political status in the country."

"Trade life with you? That's impossible. Let alone you, even if all the nobles of Dajin are tied together, he will not be willing to die."

"He is planning to return to Lisbon and inherit the title of Marquis."

"This time you kidnapped thousands of Portuguese people, which is very stressful for him because... he is restricted by the country. "

Zhou Yuan laughed and said slowly: "I understand. It seems that this time, it is necessary to meet him."

He looked at Kolodiya and smiled softly: "Madam, are you interested in meeting your old boss?"

Kolodiya said: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested at all. I just hope he dies."

Zhou Yuan spread his hands and said: "What a pity, it seems that I'm the only one going."

When he walked out of the room, Zhou Yuan's ears were lifted.

Li Yu'an narrowed her eyes and said: "Are you going alone?"

"Be gentle..."

Zhou Yuan whispered: "Of course not, the Virgin Sister will accompany me."

Li Yu'an said: "You are very brave to flirt with other women in front of me!"

Zhou Yuan said: "It's not flirting, this is a gentleman."

"I understand the essence of a gentleman."

Li Yu'an snorted: "It's just a hypocritical appearance. "

Zhou Yuan put away his smile and walked forward while saying, "There is a letter from the north. It is the news of Shenque. McPherson sent a letter to Donglu about ten days ago, asking Huang Taiji to send troops to Shanhaiguan to put pressure on us."

"At that time, he probably guessed that I was going to go south, so he came up with this trick. This was also the purpose of his helping Huang Taiji in the first place."

"Huang Taiji will naturally not help him. What I want to express is that McPherson is not a simple opponent. He has a good grasp of the current situation, so I am very curious about what he wants to talk about this time and how to talk about it."

Li Yu'an said softly, "You are not sure?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Well, I'm afraid of being tricked."

"The person in charge is confused, and the bystander is clear. You can help me to judge it when the time comes."

Li Yu'an said, "Well, I know."
