.,

Zhu Houzhao's face was dyed red.

These months of hard work have hardly been in vain.

It can even be said that since the ironclad ship was developed and improved ten years ago, it has never been wasted.

The essence of any science needs to be promoted by profit, and there is no such thing as promotion for the sake of promotion in the world.

The essence of this great victory...has made the emperor realize deep down that the so-called science is fundamental.

There is nothing more lucrative than science in this world.

Zhu Houzhao patted Fang Jifan on the shoulder.

Fang Jifan sighed, standing still, maintaining a good image, wiping his temples.

This was a historic moment, he winked at the living eunuch at the side, the eunuch immediately cheered up, took out the bamboo piece, and picked up the pen.

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty came to the front of the line of fire, fought fiercely with the thieves, defeated the thieves, and wiped out the Spanish and Portuguese fleets. After that, my Ming Dynasty was invincible all over the world. I am not talented. I followed your majesty to fight east and west, and fought thousands of miles. Although he did not have the ability to strategize, he also has the ambition to win thousands of miles. In this battle, I personally fired the cannon and sank countless pirate ships. I am worthy of the lintel of the Fang family and the heroic spirit of the ancestors. Now we are waiting to fight to the death, thanks to your majesty's blessings and blessings , I entrust the soldiers to be loyal and brave. I, Fang Jifan, have no credit for it. Now, I am determined to compose a poem to cheer me up. This poem... you leave it blank for now, and you can fill it in when the Duke remembers it."

The eunuch who recorded this record shook his hand, and subconsciously felt... It seems that this does not conform to the operation!

So, he looked up at Fang Jifan cautiously, then hurriedly lowered his head again, but said tremblingly: "I don't know if the poem that the father-in-law is chanting is the five rhythms or the seven rhythms?"

Fang Jifan was taken aback for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then said angrily, "You dog, how can there be so many words."

The eunuch frightened and hurriedly said: "This...isn't this left blank, servant girl...slaves can determine the blank space according to the five laws and seven laws."

Huh? How can it be so?

Fang Jifan suddenly felt that each of the ancient people was not simple, and they seemed to be all capable people. Fang Jifan did not expect this, and it can be seen that the interlacing is like a mountain!

So Fang Jifan was open-minded and eager to learn: "You can figure it out for yourself, keep some more, maybe you can write two or three poems when your country's official poems are popular."

Humph, I am who I am, Fang Jifan does not admire fame, otherwise, Fang Jifan would write 30,000 poems, teach me that after Fang Jifan, there would be no more poets.

Since the victory is great, it is natural to celebrate.

On board, a short celebration was held.

Immediately, the casual sailboat began to resupply the ironclad ship.

These accompanying sailboats carry a large amount of ammunition, fresh water, and coal. It is meaningless to expect them to meet the enemy, but they are still capable of assisting them.

After the supply, the accompanying wooden warships began to collect the spoils here, count the prisoners, and count the results of the battle. Then, the ironclad ships began to set off, heading for the northern province according to Zhu Houzhao's order.

Now, the navies of Ottoman, Spain and Portugal are all destroyed.

Nowadays, on the continents of Europe and North Africa, the ships that can still float are almost all old ships, or some merchant ships that can only carry cargo. At best, they are only converted into armed merchant ships. In front of him, he was almost vulnerable.

Therefore... the entire ocean has become the inner lake of Daming.

Go wherever you want, without even having to formulate an elaborate strategy.

And the next step... is to arrive at the northern province, and use this northern province as a fulcrum to start establishing a brand new order.

When dozens of ironclad ships slowly passed through the Strait of Gibraltar, because it was daytime, the Spaniards in the port here noticed this unexpected guest.

It's just a pity that they can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Fang Jifan stood on the ship's side, waved to them enthusiastically, and greeted their relatives, but these people could only look through the binoculars, and then looked at the fleet with a dazed expression, and passed slowly.

…………

All told, the Northern Province has gone through six years of war.

During the six years, countless enemies came like a tide and receded like a tide.

At first, the Dutch were numb.

But as the enemy became more and more anxious, the original knight-like war became ruthless.

Whenever they attack a place, they start to kill, and where they have said, not a blade of grass grows.

In order to completely cut off the supplies of the Han army, they even sprinkled sea salt on the land when they retreated. They robbed every livestock and burned down all the houses that could shelter from the wind and rain.

So... The originally indifferent Frisian and Dutch people suddenly became angry.

They joined the Han army without hesitation, united as one.

The infantry regiments formed by the Frisians and the Dutch infantry can even hold a record for a year and a half.

Now in this land, the number of the Han army is around 6,000, while the natives of the Netherlands can recruit a regular army of 11,000 people and an auxiliary army of 60,000 to 70,000.

But...the continuous coalition forces are innumerable. After six years and bloody battles, the entire northern province has reached the point of desperation.

Food has almost run out, only the fleet suddenly

After the blockade was broken, some food was occasionally purchased from the UK, and the productivity was greatly destroyed, so that the land was completely wiped out.

Liu Wenshan implemented the rationing law here.

During the war, all food must be uniformly distributed. The daily ration of each soldier and the amount of each citizen must be carefully calculated, and no grain of food should be wasted easily.

Tang Yin and Qi Jingtong led the fleet to search for food everywhere, and even... turned the ships into fishing boats.

It's just a pity that there are no large yellow croakers here, so that the experience in Ningbo has become useless here.

As the governor, Wang Xizuo began to gradually become handy.

It's just... the daily battles are like nooses, suffocating him all the time.

Time and time again, the local Dutch and Frisian people recognized the governor, and the local businessmen and nobles also believed that Wang Xizuo and himself were one.

These days... the offensive is clearly starting to slow down.

The remaining half of the northern province finally began to breathe a sigh of relief.

But the deadly winter is coming.

Food is still missing.

People have to eat baked black bread, which is as hard as a rock, and it needs to be cut hard with a sharp knife before it can be cut piece by piece.

Then, small pieces are stuffed into the mouth, and the hard bread is slowly soaked with saliva before it can be swallowed.

All the tea leaves are gone.

As a result, Liu Wenshan, Tang Yin, Qi Jingtong, and Jiang Chen had no choice but to treat the white water as tea, and imitated drinking tea, drinking the white water slowly.

Liu Wenshan is lucky. His tea mug is made of red sandalwood. He has been brewing tea for a long time. Even if he pours plain water, he can still feel the fragrance of tea.

Ever since, the brothers and sisters always took turns to drink tea from his tea mug when they became addicted to tea.

And Liu Wenshan has a good temper, so he can only keep silent.

"It's going to be winter. Today, some people in the city cut off the bark of trees to feed their hunger. I'm afraid we will run out of food. I don't know...whether the British merchants will come with food as promised, hey... ...If this continues, I'm really worried that I won't be able to survive this winter." Tang Yin said quietly, looking very worried.

When I came to the Northern Province, I just realized that the environment here is very dangerous, and now it is obvious that there is nothing I can do!

Liu Wenshan originally planned to go to France as an envoy, but the French made up their minds and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight without wavering.

"It's another year, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon." Suddenly, Qi Jingtong sighed.

New Year's Eve...

It's just that these few short words suddenly seemed to touch everyone's mind, but...

A few people who sat here silently, suddenly...the eye sockets became moist.
