Unknowingly, it was already late into the night. Great General Qi Jisheng and Minister of War Zhao Ze had also retreated. At this moment, the Middle Pole Palace was in complete silence. Zhu Jianyi was still sitting on the dragon throne with his eyes closed, waiting for something.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Suddenly, a phone on the table rang. Zhu Jianyi's eyes widened, and two lights flashed. Then, he reached out and pressed the speaker button…
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" A deep but slightly sharp voice sounded from the phone.
"How is it going? They didn't suspect anything, did they?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. They don't have any doubts. Except for a few people on our side, the amount of gold announced to the public is 1.5 million kilograms. The remaining 500,000 kilograms will be kept as secret funds for the army. When the gold is stored in the vault, this old servant will send people to closely monitor everyone who approaches the vault. In addition, this old servant has also arranged for our people at the Ministry of Revenue. All the bills and transactions in the national treasury are under our surveillance.”
Zhu Jianyi was satisfied." I can rest assured now. I want to see how many worms this batch of gold will catch."”
The voice laughed." Your Majesty is wise. They never dreamed that you would pay such a high price just to lure them into the trap!”
"Humph! Without a fragrant bait, those old foxes would not give themselves away so easily!”Zhu Jianyi changed the topic and said,"Other than that, how did you do the thing I instructed you to do?”
As soon as he said that, the voice immediately said guiltily,"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This old servant is incompetent and has not been able to find any traces of them in the Great Ming Dynasty!”
Hearing this, Zhu Jianyi did not reveal any expression and said lightly,"I understand. Continue to investigate in secret! This is not something that can happen overnight, and I am not an unreasonable person.”
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
"Yes! If there's nothing else, then I'll hang up!"
"Your Majesty, this old servant still has something to do with that Wei slave!”
This stunned Zhu Jianyi and he immediately mocked,"These Japanese slaves really like to stir up trouble. What were they planning to do this time?”
"It's like this. Just the day before yesterday, a guy who claimed to be the envoy of the Prime Minister of Fusang secretly found this old servant and said that the Xuanwu of the Pivot Wood wanted to join forces to deal with Your Majesty! In addition, this old servant also found out from the Japanese slave that the Prime Minister had contacted the Emperor of Britain. I wonder what the result was?”
After hearing this, Zhu Jianyi laughed happily, but the coldness in his eyes was terrifying." These Japanese slaves really overestimate themselves. They really think that they can imitate Su Qin and Zhang Yi by relying on the cherry stone mine in our country. They are simply naive!”
That voice also carried a hint of mockery as it said,""Your Majesty is wise. Although the pirates are a small country with few people, their ambitions have always been great. During the Wanli period, they even wanted to invade the Central Plains and replace the Ming Dynasty! Even though he was defeated by my Great Ming Royal Teacher, his evil intentions have not died down for hundreds of years, and he even has some unrealistic dreams. Little did he know that when His Majesty's plan was implemented, Ming would no longer need the cherry stone!”
The sarcasm on Zhu Jianyi's face became more intense as he sneered,"At that time, not only Great Ming, but even the entire world will no longer need Sakura Stone. At that time, Fusang will no longer need to exist!”
"Your Majesty is right. At that time, this old servant will be fortunate enough to witness Great Ming rise again in Your Majesty's hands!”
" I also look forward to that day…" Zhu Jianyi muttered to himself.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already close to Qingming Festival.
On the vast ocean, two emerald arms extended from the horizon. The surface of the ocean suddenly contracted, turning into a narrow waterway.
This was the golden waterway that connected the West and Southeast Asia. It was also the strategic stronghold for the Ming Dynasty to control the Southeast Asian countries and enter and leave the West, the Strait of Malacca! A fleet of four 10,000-ton cruise ships was slowly sailing on this golden waterway in the east.
From the perspective of the Ming people, the Strait of Malacca was almost the gateway to the country! Ever since Zheng He's seven expeditions to the West, the Ming Dynasty's ocean strategy was that the South Ocean was the bathtub in the Ming Dynasty's bathroom, the West Ocean was the drainage ditch outside the house, and the Ocean was the swimming pool in the house!
Now that they had crossed the straits, they were in the territory of their motherland. This made Qi Zi 'ang and the others tear up, and their hearts were filled with homesickness.
"I've finally returned to the country. As expected, the scenery at home is the most pleasing to the eye!”
Qi Zi 'ang looked at the scattered islands that were constantly appearing on the sea and could not help but sigh. This made Xu Zhenhua, who was beside him, also look excited.
"Yes, yes! Of course, our Celestial Empire is not comparable to those small foreign countries. However, we've really benefited a lot from going abroad this time. Not only did we earn a lot of allowance, but I heard that the General Staff Department will also hold an award ceremony for us this time. Everyone will be promoted three levels in a row! Besides, hehehe!"
As he said that, he smiled wretchedly. This made Xiao Yihan furious. Why did he have such a bad friend? Xiao Yihan, who knew what had happened that day at Port Renelou, wished he could strangle this kid to death. This guy and the other bastards hid it from him and secretly told their old lovers about the location of the embassy. As a result, a large group of foreign girls came to find him. Seeing that there were hundreds of people who came out of nowhere, Ambassador Huang knew that this matter could not be hidden and could only report it to the Chinese embassy. In the end, the expected reprimand did not come. The embassy only said, Clean up your own butt!
Whoosh! Wasn't this a disguised way of letting them decide on their own? Needless to say, our Ming Dynasty is a seven-foot-tall man. How can we be heartless? Moreover, we have been in the army for many years. If we are not careful, we will delay our life. Isn't this a great opportunity to get rid of singlehood?
So! Amid the envious and jealous gazes of Ambassador Huang and the others, the horny students of the teaching group hugged each other and happily told the good news to the beauty in their arms. For a moment, the scene erupted into cheers.
Of course, the livid Qi Ziang really couldn't stand Xu Zhenhua's smugness, especially when this bastard was holding two beautiful blonde girls! Our Commandant Qi was so jealous that he immediately poured cold water on them. He pointed out that the imperial court would not care about these people's identities, housing, and jobs after they returned to the country.
"Hmph, if you want to solve it yourself, then solve it yourself. How can a man put on his pants and not recognize someone? I'm single anyway! It just so happens that their marriage has been resolved together and they're even marrying two people at once. If my mother finds out, she'll be overjoyed!”
Xu Zhenhua was not afraid at all. He patted his chest and said heroically to Dahai. However, when he thought of the blissful scene of two women sharing a husband in the future, this animal immediately had a wretched expression on his face, and his saliva was about to flow out. Qi Zi 'ang rolled his eyes and wanted to kick him off the boat.
Just as the two of them were joking around, a delicate cry was heard. Two girls with sexy figures appeared on the deck and pointed at the magnificent natural scenery that appeared in the sea and sky. Xu Zhenhua, who was standing at the side, immediately left his good friend and ran over. When he saw this guy bragging about the girls in each hand, Qi Ziang was envious and secretly cursed," Beast!”
Then, Qi Zi 'ang walked out of Class A while cursing and returned to his crew quarters with a depressed expression. Just as he walked through a section of the passageway, a young girl suddenly walked towards him. She had snow-white skin, exquisite features, and a pair of cold eyes. Especially under a blue cheongsam, her curvaceous figure made people unable to take their eyes off her! Of course, what surprised Qi Zi 'ang even more was that the other party had a head of rare jade green hair... Even when the two of them thought wrongly, Qi Zi' ang was still immersed in amazement.
"This girl is really hot! However, green hair was very rare. He wondered which bastard was lucky.”
Qi Ziang, who was unhappy, was reluctant to part with her. However, just as he was about to turn around and admire her back...
"Eh? Where is he? Why is it gone?"
The corridor was empty, and there was no one else…
At this moment," Woo!" A loud whistle sounded. They saw a long, white-painted warship slowly approaching from behind.
The " Sea Carp " class frigate had a displacement of 3,000 tons and a full-load displacement of nearly 4,000 tons. It had a double-barreled 76mm cannon at the head of the ship, equipped with eight Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles, 15 anti-submarine torpedoes, and two deep-water bomb throwers... From the military equipment configuration, it could be seen that this was an anti-submarine and anti-ship frigate. There were three such warships in the fleet, and they were specially dispatched by the Navy to escort.
At this moment, the frigate with the number 528 drove directly to the front of the fleet and kept blowing its whistle at the distant sea.
"Woo!"
Suddenly, another bright whistle sounded from the distant sea. Everyone looked over and saw two warships, one in front and one behind, appearing on the sea in front of them and heading towards them.
