"Of course, the emperor, don't worry. I already have a plan in my heart. Just watch it." Liu Hongjian thought for a while.

The reason why he did not tell Zhu Cilang this plan is because his plan is no different from not having a plan, one word - guard.

It was not that the Beiyang Navy did not have the power to fight with the Netherlands, but the Beiyang Navy's foundation was still too weak. It only destroyed many warships on the Nanyang route, and most of the rest returned to the factory for maintenance.

The reason for defending is that since you have temporarily given up on Southeast Asia, there is no need to show off your pleasure. If the Dutch Kingdom dares to travel thousands of miles to conquer the Ming Dynasty, then you have to provide supplies to the long front.

The Beiyang Navy may be stretched in the South China Sea, but in the Ming Dynasty, with the numerous forts built at critical junctions, Liu Hongjian was sure to make William II regret it.

The first batch of thirty armored warships have been delivered to the Nanyang Navy. With the construction speed of the two treasure shipyards in Tianjin and Longjiang, the Nanyang Navy will be able to restore half of the combat power of the Zheng family Navy's peak in half a year.

Since returning from the palace, Liu Hongjian summoned Aragon again and made a general plan for Aragon.

The Ming Dynasty supported enough weapons to equip soldiers with 2,000 soldiers, but the number of Inca royal family members was too small. Because of their poor strength, they should keep a low profile and should not be revealed to Fran before the Ming fleet set off.

There are still tasks. While intensifying training, we must collect all intelligence from the South Meliga Franc aircraft and the Netherlands, including but not limited to ports, arms, ships, and defense forces of each city.

At the same time, it is also the most important thing that the royal tribes must continue to collect rubber tree latex and seeds for the Ming Dynasty. The Xishan Merchants Association regularly sends fleets to trade, and brings necessary supplies to the Incas by the way.

The jungle where their tribe lived was full of rubber trees, and this condition was not considered a condition for their tribe. Although Aragon did not know what the Ming Dynasty Prince collected the sticky latex for, he saw everything the Ming Dynasty did for the Incas.

He came empty-handed, but when he returned, he carried a fleet full of food, weapons, and even the war horses that the tribe warriors had dreamed of...

Half a month later, Tianjin Dagu Port.

It was late autumn, and the autumn wind was rustling with the Xishan Shanghe fleet was ready to go. Liu Hongjian stood on the dock with his hands behind his back, while Aragon followed Liu Hongjian.

"I won't say anything extra. You are a wise man. When you get there, you must protect your tribe members.

And remember that although waiting is painful, it is not a bad thing. The Incas once had a brilliant civilization. As descendants, you have a heavy burden and don’t rush for a moment.” Liu Hongjian said meaningfully.

Liu Hongjian felt unreasonable pity for this Inca who was about his age. He remembered that two hundred years later, the Chinese nation was also subjected to the enslavement and oppression of the Europa. Seeing the Incas was like seeing the modern history of China.

Aragon is a very diligent and hardworking person, which can be seen from the fact that he could communicate in simple Ming language in just over a month.

During this period, Zhuge Tieniu also kept reporting to him about Aragon's whereabouts. Aragon visited the most were book shops in the capital, and he bought the most various books on the market, from Confucian classics to the creation of natural objects, from mathematical geometry to Tang poetry and Song lyrics, he packed several boxes.

Liu Hongjian did not stop the Incas from bringing these things back. On the contrary, he also recommended several books he thought were excellent, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, it is not his business to understand or not.

This is how the Chinese nation is. Culturally, it opens its doors to all outsiders, and those who get the essence are assimilated by them.

Of course, the reason why Liu Hongjian was relieved was that the most cutting-edge scientific achievements of the Ming Dynasty are all in the ordnance centers, and the ones that can be bought on the market are popular science books and novels.

After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from behind, but Aragorn led seven or eight tribesmen to kneel in front of him.

"Prince, I have learned a proverb from the Ming Dynasty these days. If you repay the kindness of a drop of water, you will be repaid with a spring of water. The prince has great kindness to me, the Incas, but I cannot repay it.

Today I swear here. No matter what future, no matter what situation you are in the Ming Dynasty, the stone pillars in front of the Inca tribe will always be your horse-tethered stake!" Aragon swears with tears in his eyes.

When he knelt yesterday, he knelt with the identity of the prince in front of him and the empire behind him. When he knelt with Aragon today, he knelt with Liu Hongjian himself. If he hadn't been him, he would not think that the Ming Dynasty would help them, a declining country.

"Haha, Aragorn, you're polite. Get up quickly, you're going to drive the boat." Liu Hongjian just smiled and patted Aragorn on the shoulder.

"Yunnan is very far away from this. It will take at least three months for Yunnan horses to raise and transport them. This fleet transports all the supplies except the horses. I hope you will go crazy all the way.

Tie Niu, when you get there, you will be smart, and you will leave the storage and use of the firearms to you." Liu Hongjian told Zhuge Tie Niu again.

The team leader this time was still Zhuge Tieniu, and Liu Hongjian promoted him to the post, and was fully responsible for the trade between Xishan Shanghe and He and the teaching of the Incas to use firearms.

Among these firearms, there are 2,000 muskets, but it is probably because of being in the jungle. Aragon is not very interested in muskets, but rather has a special liking for grenades. After all, this thing is not only easy to use, but also has great power and visual impact.

All the firearms were packed in boxes. With the lesson of the last time we were immersed in water, we treated the boxes to prevent moisture. Half an hour later, the fleet headed northwest, leaving Liu Hongjian alone looking at the fleet that was leaving.

A spark can start a prairie fire, I hope they arrive in Melica as scheduled.

"Let's go." Liu Hongjian sighed and waved to the guards.

"Master, have you heard that the School of Technology issued an admission notice a month ago. Even in the Jiangnan region, many young people came to apply for their studies!" Niu Dabangcui followed behind and started talking.

"A wealth of a thousand fortune is not as good as a skill, and the people are not stupid." Chang Yu continued.

The first-class students who went out to internship have returned one after another, and most of the students who entered the Ministry of Works have received praise from the Ministry of Works officials.

Young students who broadened their horizons continued to improve the old working habits of various workshops under the Ministry of Works, so that as early as a month ago, the Minister of Works, Wang Jiayan, found Liu Hongjian and asked that all of these students be kept in the Ministry of Works.

But Liu Hongjian could not do what he wanted. These first batch of students were the signature of the School of Engineering, and top students must enter the workshop under the name of Xishan Shanghe.

The School of Engineering takes care of their food, their housing, and teaches them to read and read. They learn a skill for this day.

I don’t know where Lao Gu and the others have gone, Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

Gu Jia and his party broke off contact since they passed the Western Regions. It has been half a year now. Liu Hongjian is a little worried but has no choice but to do anything.

Seeing that winter is coming, I hope Lao Gu can have this year's New Year's Eve dinner. Alas, Liu Hongjian sighed and rushed towards the capital.
