Zhu Houzhao was excited. He held his hands behind his back, listened to Xu Jing's words, and said with great interest: "But... Could it be that the Qing family has an idea?"

"Yes." Xu Jing was determined!

He glanced at Fang Jifan and said, "My teacher teaches students knowledge. Over the years, although students are stupid, they know that diligence can make up for their shortcomings. Therefore... they formulated a plan. Although this plan is time-consuming and labor-intensive, as long as it succeeds, they can completely destroy the navy in the world."

Destroy the navy in the world...

What a big tone!

Fang Jifan smiled calmly on his face, but he felt nmp in his heart.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Xu Jing is becoming more and more aware of bragging. This is not like himself.

Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes and asked a very practical question: "I will allocate all the steam iron armored ships to you, and I will order you as the navy commander. Are these enough?"

"not enough."

If you want to do something well, you cannot be sluggish, so Xu Jing shook his head straightforwardly: "In this plan, it is far from being able to do it with his ministers. Only the emperor and his mentor can accomplish this in the world."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Xu Jing with surprise: "Although your mentor has many ideas, it is... when it comes to marching and fighting, it is..."

Fang Jifan coughed desperately: "Cough cough... Your Majesty... Be careful of your words."

Zhu Houzhao shook her head and then said, "Okay, let's talk about serious things, that is, I want to entrust your mentor to be the governor of the navy and you are the deputy governor? Then... how long will it take to complete?"

Xu Jing said: "One year, or two years."

Zhu Houzhao looked up: "What about your plan?"

Xu Jing said: "I dare not write the plan out, I am afraid that I will be discovered. All of these are in my mind."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Say it to me."

Xu Jing shook his head again: "There are ears in the walls, I am afraid that I will reveal it. Your Majesty... My Ming Dynasty is now like a dazzling pearl, dazzling, and now... I have long been afraid of the neighbors. As far as I know, even the Spaniards, who are thousands of miles away, have sent scouts to buy personnel in my Ming Dynasty to inquire about the news. This is the palace. Although the possibility of being investigated by someone is very small, there is no reason to be careless about anything that is done. Once this strategy is discovered by someone, all your efforts will be in vain."

Although he was rejected again and again, Zhu Houzhao agreed with this, and he knew very well...

In fact, Xu Jing’s plan was a bit taken for granted, why?

Since we want to lure the Spaniards to go out to sea and the Invincible Armada comes out in full swing, we need to choose a bait that is strong enough for the Spaniards. Once the bait is weak, it will not be able to catch big fish. But the question is, why should people make bait?

This is the most difficult point.

In addition, how did the Ming fleet be dispatched?

How to fight.

How to ensure the absolute confidentiality of the entire plan.

These are all difficult problems.

However, when Zhu Houzhao thought of annihilated all the Spanish Invincible Fleet, he felt a lot of claws in his heart.

So he said, "Come... I will go to the secret room with you and tell me."

As an emperor, you can’t just know nothing and just be a rash person!

Xu Jing hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

After half an hour, Zhu Houzhao and Xu Jing returned to Fengtian Palace!

Zhu Houzhao sighed, looked at the huge palace, thought for a moment, and then said, "This plan is somewhat meaningful, but it is not impossible to complete. I have thought about it. No matter how good the plan is, it is inappropriate if there is no truly capable commander, then..."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and called Liu Jin to get a toolbox.

Then he stepped back.

In front of Fang Jifan and Xu Jing, he first took out a piece of uncensored jade, then picked up the carving knife, used it to carefully carve a square seal with this carving knife, then took cinnabar, spread out the white paper, and wrote the words "The Great Governor of the Majesty of the Navy's Powerful General of the Four Seas on this white paper. Then he rubbed the blank seal with words and sealed it, and then took the carving knife and began to carve it with strokes.

He did it very seriously and was completely selfless. He held the carving knife in his hand very steadily. Every stroke followed the texture of the jade, carefully blowing off the jade chips from time to time, and occasionally took a magnifying glass from the toolbox to look at it. After making sure there was no problem, he continued to carve it.

Xu Jing: “…”

Well, he was a little stunned!

Fang Jifan seemed to have gotten used to it, and his expression was calm and he chatted with Xu Jing in a mess, passing the time.

"Xu Jing, I heard that your son is not young, can he read a book?"

"My mentor...the dog son...all married."

"Ah." Fang Jifan was startled and said in surprise: "So quickly, I don't know."

"Not only did they marry, but they also had children. The Dogzi is now in the navy and does not stay at home on weekdays."

So Fang Jifan said in surprise again: "In this way, did you still have a grandson?"

Xu Jing is over 40 years old.

In this era, it is normal to be a grandfather in his thirties.

Fang Jifan could only sigh that time flew, and in the blink of an eye, his disciples had grandchildren, which was really a tragic thing.

Fortunately, his psychological quality is good, so Fang Jifan smiled and said, "You have grandsons as a teacher, and your grandson is older than you."

On the side, Liu Jin proudly raised his chest.

Xu Jing: “…”

The topic finally stopped and fell into a deadly silence.

Zhu Houzhao was busy aside.

His toolbox is ready-made.

Even jade seals are actually semi-finished products.

So if you have to make it work, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

But he was careful, slowly crafting.

It took him a long time to look up, and smiled at Fang Jifan and Xu Jing and said, "It's OK."

Fang Jifan and Xu Jing took care of Zhu Hou.

But Zhu Houzhao first held up a seal: "I have an order now... Liu Jin, write it down, write it down."

Liu Jin hurried to look for the pen and ink, and lay on the ground to record.

Zhu Houzhao said: "I am both civil and military, proficient in military affairs, and familiar with maritime affairs. This is a talent that has never been passed down through the ages. Now I am planning for my ancestors and the country, and I should spread the world and be kind and powerful all over the world. I see that all the ministers and craftsmen in the world are far inferior to me. In this way, I have to personally do my job and claim to be the commander of the navy to rule the commander of the Wu general and the commander of the four seas. Now I have to give myself the seal of the commander of the Great Governor, and I am now proud of it."

Liu Jin usually wrote a draft imperial edict.

His expression was very serious and seemed to be accustomed to it.

Fang Jifan looked numb.

Only Xu Jing seemed to have not seen enough worlds, and he was dumbfounded when he heard them.

Zhu Houzhao then frowned again and said, "It seems a bit inappropriate. There is no one who brags about himself. Although I am telling the truth, if the mediocre people listen, they will still regard me as shameless! This is not possible. Liu Jin, if you change it, then you will say that it was the Duke of Zhenguo and Xu Qing's family who wrote a letter saying that I am proficient in military affairs, proficient in military affairs, and familiar with maritime affairs. I am a talent that has never been in the ages. After writing it, I will show you and don't make any mistakes."

Liu Jin was still lying on the ground, biting the pen holder, raised his hips, and picked up a piece of paper again, deleting and modifying it.

Zhu Houzhao said again: "I think about it. The maritime policy is of great importance. I am extremely smart, but I am not capable of clones. OK, okay, whatever you want to write. In short, Lao Fang is the deputy governor and Xu Jing is the general of the navy. Have you written it? Have you written it?"

Liu Jin said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you read too quickly."

Zhu Houzhao was furious and said, "Dog guy, I don't think you are slow, you still think I am fast, that's it. This matter is of great importance. Lao Fang, I'm in the palace and you are in the Zhenguo Mansion. If this matter is done, I will be the king of you."

Fang Jifan had a reluctant expression.

Being the King...

Do you care a lot about it?

OK...it seems quite rare.

He was busy and agreed, and there was nothing important to say later, so he said goodbye to Xu Jing.

only……

Not far from Fengtian Palace, Zhu Houzhao chased after him panting and said, "Slowly, slow down, you didn't take your seal."

…………

The plan... Fang Jifan has already learned about it.

He was shocked at first, then had a fleshy pain on his face, and finally he forced a little smile, sometimes as if he was going to kill someone, but sometimes he looked at Xu Jing with kindness.

Xu Jing had no expression on his face. Now, everything has to be arranged for this plan.

Never allow yourself to fail.

"Mr., the student plans to go to Tianjin to urge the construction of the steam iron armor ship to urge the Naval Academy and the Navy to clean up the Naval Academy and the Navy. For other things, I have to ask the teacher."

Fang Jifan sighed and said, "It's so hard to be a teacher."

With a long sigh, Fang Jifan took something from Xu Jing.

This thing looks like a rubber ball, and it seems inconspicuous when you hold it in your hand.

After Fang Jifan looked carefully, he cheered up: "Go, let's leave it to the teacher next."

Not long after, Wang Jinyuan was summoned.
