Suddenly, explosions were heard all over the coastline.
They didn't form any formations, but fought separately, wearing helmets and light leather armor. It was clear they were aiming for speed.
These are the Royal Navy's Marines, to put it simply, they are used for land combat and beach capture.
In this era, the coordination between infantry and navy has always been a problem, and it would be too exhausting and difficult to transfer the Ming Dynasty's land troops to train with the navy, so it would be better to let them form their own team.
It seems to be working well now, these people have strong attack power.
Of course, it is directly related to the equipment of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Zhu Youxiao's efforts in this regard are no less than those of the royal army.
Zhu Youxiao had spent so much money on military equipment over the years that he had little time for his daily entertainment. Not to mention rebuilding the palace, he even stopped building his own mausoleum.
Where did all this money go?
All of it was used by Zhu Youxiao to build the army, and this army was built with real money.
Now that he saw that the Royal Navy had such weapons and such attack power, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.
Glancing at Qi Yuanbi beside him, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "You are very good. You have done a good job and have not let me down."
"It's almost time to go back. You'll all receive rewards when you return. Besides rewards, the soldiers who participated in the drill will be given meat and wine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Yuanbi said hurriedly with a bright smile on his face, and he finally felt relieved in his heart.
After several days of hard work, His Majesty enjoyed it, liked it, and gave it praise. This is the best result.
Zhu Youxiao turned his gaze to Li Xi beside him and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
"Amazing!" Li Xi said quickly, "I never thought the Ming Dynasty's Royal Navy would be so powerful. Their firearms are truly incomparably sharp! I never imagined this before. Today is truly an eye-opener!"
"That's good." Zhu Youxiao handed the telescope to Qi Yuangong and said, "That's good. Let's go back. We should celebrate today with wine and meat."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xi agreed.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to say anything else to him. He needed to give him some time to digest what he saw today, so that it would be convenient for their subsequent negotiations.
After returning to Tianjin, of course, we had a grand banquet.
Tonight's celebration was a joyous occasion, with plenty of wine and meat. As for the expense reimbursement, it was of course Zhu Youxiao's responsibility; it was impossible for anyone else to pay.
As an emperor, your job is to spend money.
After eating and drinking, Zhu Youxiao was a little tipsy, so he didn't say anything and went back to his room to rest.
The next day, Zhu Youxiao got up very late.
I drank a bit too much last night, but not to the point of being drunk. When I drank to this level, I was in a high mood, so I went to bed late.
Zhu Youxiao played games with Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian until midnight and almost didn't get up this morning.
He slept until noon and only then did Zhu Youxiao feel unwell after he sobered up.
If you only do one thing, there may not be any big problem, but if you put two things together, the hangover feeling will be a bit uncomfortable.
After washing his face with cool water, Zhu Youxiao felt much more refreshed.
Throwing the towel in his hand to Wei Chao, who was waiting on the side, Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "After breakfast, go find Li Xi. Now is the time to talk about some things."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Chao agreed respectfully and turned to arrange the meal.
I drank a lot of wine last night and was hungry after tossing and turning for most of the night. I got up late this morning, so Zhu Youxiao's stomach was empty. I heard a rumbling sound in my throat, so I had to eat immediately.
After breakfast, Zhu Youxiao called Liu Xian over to meet Li Xi.
"Your Majesty, I'm a little worried." Liu Xian looked at Zhu Youxiao and said with some concern: "Even if Li Xi agrees now, what if the King of Korea doesn't agree? If the King of Korea doesn't recognize it later, then wouldn't all the talks be in vain?"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Liu Xian and said the harshest words in the calmest tone, "If he dares to do this, then I will dare to change the king of Korea."
"I think Li Xi is quite good. Since he agreed to this, once he sits on the throne, he will have the final say."
