Song Xiang looked at Zhang Yu, and the expression on her face suddenly relaxed. Then she smiled gently and said, "No wonder His Majesty values you so much. I hope you can achieve your ideals and realize your revenge."
Zhang Yu turned to look at Song Xiang and said with a smile, "You have contributed to this as well. I believe you will go down in history."
Song Xiang did not continue. Although she had the desire to leave her own name in her heart and hoped that she could become one of those legendary women who were as brave as men, Song Xiang knew in her heart that the possibility was too small.
As for the current situation, although the environment has become more tolerant and all people are equal, the status of women has not been improved.
After shaking her head to dismiss this thought, Song Xiang suddenly straightened her face and said with a hint of seriousness, "Let's not talk about this for now. Do you know who the General Staff Office sent this time?"
Zhang Yu smiled slightly and asked, "If you don't know, how could I possibly know?"
Sighing helplessly, Song Xiang said in confusion, "This is something I didn't expect. I don't know who was sent by the General Staff Office, but judging from the current situation, this person should be kept secret."
"That's for sure." Zhang Yu nodded and said with a reassuring smile, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. We'll know who it is once we get there. How's the situation over there? Is everything going well?"
Song Xiang said, "Everything is going smoothly, and there are no problems with Queen Renmu. Zhao Changsheng also said that as long as she takes medicine and recuperates for a period of time, Queen Renmu will be well. If you want to treat her as soon as possible, it's okay to use some good medicine. How long we want her to recover depends on our ideas."
After hearing this, Zhang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, let's maintain it for now and don't let him get better for now. The current situation is most beneficial to us. Once Queen Inmoo gets better, the situation may change, which is not a good thing."
"Okay, I understand." Song Xiang nodded and said, "I'll go back and tell Zhao Changsheng not to do anything rash. Try to delay this as long as possible."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Let's just sing the opera slowly from now on."
At the same time, on the vast ocean, a fleet was breaking through the waves.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Qi Yuanbi had a gloomy face and a very serious expression.
Putting down the telescope, Qi Yuanbi turned to Yu Zigao and asked, "Are they still following us?"
Yu Zigao nodded seriously and said, "Still following us."
"Come closer." Qi Yuanbi said without hesitation, "Get rid of them. If they continue to follow us, we will just wipe them out."
After hearing this, Yu Zigao nodded and said, "Okay."
On the sea, the huge fleet moved instantly.
The command flags were waved rapidly, and at this moment, a dull horn sounded. The entire fleet began to accelerate, forging a path and bravely advancing. Layers of sea waves, carrying silver-white waves, rippled outward, creating a vast expanse of shimmering water.
Not far away, on another fleet, a man's face was also gloomy.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, he carefully stuffed it into the accessories and placed it carefully on his chest.
Compared with the casualness of the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy, he is much more cautious.
He had spent a lot of money to get this telescope, so he must not break it.
You know, the confidentiality law in the Ming Dynasty is very strict now. It has taken all my effort to get a telescope, so I can't be careless.
This is a middle-aged man with a somewhat dark complexion. His skin is a little rough because he has been walking on the boat for many years.
At this time, he was sitting on the bow of the boat wearing clogs, with a rather ugly look on his face.
This person is Zheng Zhilong, the largest overseas force in the entire Ming Dynasty today.
Since the Ming Dynasty had been open to overseas trade for many years, Zhu Youxiao turned a blind eye to these things. In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had begun to organize the supply of goods on a large scale in recent years, so foreign trade had always been very smooth. Although the tax revenue was not high, Zhu Youxiao made a lot of money.
The Imperial Household Department, in particular, had been making money for the past two years. Taking advantage of this favorable situation, overseas merchants also made a lot of money because of this opportunity, including Li Dan and others.
Under such circumstances, their power gradually expanded.
In the face of these people, even the Dutch had no fighting power at all and were almost squeezed out. The Dutch wanted to do business between Ming Dynasty and Japan, and they had to pay protection fees to Li Dan and others.
Originally, everyone was fine and peaceful, but with the death of Li Dan, conflicts gradually emerged.
At the beginning, Li Dan had a very good sworn brother named Xu Xinsu. This kind of sworn brotherhood was not only based on emotions, but more on interests.
Li Dan established a base and formed a team in Japan, built a base in Taiwan, and expanded his armed forces.
Xu Xinsu contacted merchants in Quanzhou, Fujian, and organized goods on a large scale for Li Dan to sell.
To put it bluntly, Xu Xinsu was the biggest smuggler in Quanzhou during this period. He had the channels to consolidate all the goods and ship them out. The two sides worked very happily together, and it can be said that they both made a fortune.
But a few years ago, Li Dan died without children, leaving all his assets to Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong's career could be said to have soared to new heights. He continuously gathered refugees from Fujian and other places and sent them to Taiwan to cultivate farmland. He also expanded his industrial base in Japan and continuously expanded his strength through trade, so that his fleet filled the entire route.
