The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1234

[1234. Chapter 1178: Making a fortune again]

The Francois had a solid foundation for their advance and retreat, and began to retreat without hesitation.

They were like a tide, leaving behind countless corpses and broken walls, and quickly left the battlefield.

At this moment, Xinjin was left in a mess.

The Ming fleet was obviously wary of the Franco fleet.

This fleet is more powerful than any Franco fleet the Ming army has ever seen.

The ship docked.

The first person to land was Xu Jing.

Although there are still remnants of Franji’s army on this shore.

But Xu Jing no longer cares about so much.

My mentor’s father is on the shore.

The mighty Ming army and navy began to land.

In this devastated land, people searched frantically for survivors.

“Ambassador.”

Someone came in a hurry.

Xu Jing looked up.

The rain had already wet Xu Jing. He was wet and out of his mind.

“Found it.” The person who spoke had a heavy expression on his face.

Xu Jing asked: “Where?”

The man led Xu Jing across the rammed earth wall full of bullet holes, and found a strong figure lying on the ground in a ditch.

Xu Jing almost pounced on him. This man… had dozens of stab wounds all over his body. If he wasn’t wearing armor, any one stab would be enough to kill him.

He was almost soaked in rain and blood, and his face was pale, obviously from excessive blood loss.

Xu Jing saw a familiar face, and tears filled his eyes.

He is the Duke of Lu.

He was busy stretching out his hand. When he stretched out his hand, Xu Jing’s hand was trembling slightly. His fingertips were gently placed under the tip of Lu Guogong Fang Jinglong’s nose. His breath was weak and he was still alive…

just…

a few medical students. , already in a hurry carrying a medicine box.

They are going crazy and there are too many people in need of treatment.

The first batch of medical students arrived in the New World. They opened a medical school here and began to continuously train medical students. But even so, until now, the manpower is still far from enough.

A medical student frowned, squatted down, and checked Lu Guogong Fang Jinglong’s wounds and pulse. In the rain, he raised his head silently: “Lu Guogong…he…he is still alive now, he is…is… Miracle, it’s just… He suffered thirty-one wounds all over his body, and one wound almost pierced his heart. According to what the students saw, I’m afraid…”

Xu Jing said decisively: “Try every possible way to save him. . Without Duke Lu, Huanghuangzhou will be finished!”

The medical student was silent.

Hundreds of thousands of military households came here, and they were spread all over the place. The reason why, in this vast world, the military towns that had delegated power everywhere could still be restrained was because of two reasons. One was that the prestige of Duke Lu was here. , the military attachés guarding various places would never dare to have any different intentions. Another reason is that there are a large number of Confucian scholars located in every corner of the continent. These people have become the backbone of all walks of life. What Confucian scholars identify with is the great unification, which is the Ming Dynasty Zhengshuo.

Once… something happens to Duke Lu, perhaps the situation can be stabilized for the time being, but what about the future?

“Yes, students are doing their best, but…” The medical student looked at Xu Jing in embarrassment…

Xu Jing had already stood up, his face was ashen: “Of course we must prepare for the worst, and immediately send a clipper to send a message ! Send carrier pigeons to the west coast, and let them send the message along the ocean current.

“Send orders to all places, the Francois, to start a massive revenge, and everyone must be prepared. Xinjin must rebuild and never fall!” “

Medical students have set up a temporary hospital with the help of countless people.

Countless soldiers carried out the survivors.

All the medicines on the ship were unloaded.

At this time, Fang Jinglong had already entered the makeshift silkworm room. His clothes had been stripped off, and his whole body was riddled with holes. There was almost no intact skin left.

After cleaning his body with disinfectant, the medical students began to remove the broken blade from his body.

Then, start bandaging.

From the beginning to the end, Fang Jinglong fainted.

Medical students have started giving him blood transfusions.

After all this is done, only God knows whether he can wake up, whether he can survive, whether the wound will become infected, whether complications will kill him.

“Doctor Liu, another person has been sent here. He is a Confucian scholar. Please go and have a look.”

The attending doctor had already taken off his mask. He exhaled, looked deeply at Fang Jinglong on the operating table, and hurriedly walked out. Jamsil.

Outside the Jamsil, several military attachés were waiting anxiously.

“How’s it going?”

Doctor Liu was silent for a moment. He thought for a while: “It’s best to prepare for the funeral.”

He looked tired, but he still said: “The student also wanted to save the father-in-law, but he was injured. It’s too heavy, and students don’t dare to have any expectations, so please prepare for the worst.”

He pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the bed on the other side.

……

Several homing pigeons have already left Xinjin quickly, spreading their wings and flying towards the hazy sky.

Xu Jing clasped his hands behind his back, with blurred tears, watching the homing pigeon fluttering its wings, but in his mind, he thought of the scene after his mentor learned the bad news.

I…I can’t help my mentor.

He couldn’t help but beat his chest and feet.

………

Fang Jifan arrived at the Women’s Medical Hall angrily, and then pulled out Zhu Houzhao, who was naked and stretched out his arms to show off his biceps to the girls.

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: “Old Fang, what are you doing, I…I…”

Fang Jifan looked at him with disdain and threw a coat for Zhu Houzhao to put on: “Your Highness, you need some face. The academy is a serious place, not a place for you to act recklessly.”

Zhu Houzhao happily put on his coat and said with a smile: “They don’t know what biceps are, let me show them, Old Fang. My muscles are pretty good, I heard the female students scream.”

Fang Jifan felt ashamed and touched his forehead: “Your Highness, don’t come to the female school again.”

Zhu Houzhao stared: “Why, why not. Are you here? I am their ancestor. Without me, how can they learn medicine?”

Zhu Houzhao began to chirp, complaining that Fang Jifan was on guard against him.

Fang Jifan said: “I don’t know why lately, my eyelids have been twitching so much. Is the left eye twitching for money or misfortune?”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: “Maybe it’s money twitching.”

Fang Jifan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: “It seems I’m going to get rich again. Speaking of which, I happen to have a project here, come…”

It is really a painful thing to divert Zhu Houzhao’s attention.

Fang Jifan excitedly led Zhu Houzhao to the Zhenguo Mansion and took out a blueprint.

“This… what is this?”

“Amusement park.” Fang Jifan said: “Look, this is called a merry-go-round, this is called a roller coaster, this… and this…”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned: “What… is this …

“The plan is to build a thousand acres of land outside the Fifth Ring Road, which is your land. As long as it is built and attracts people, the price of the nearby land will be different.”

Zhu Houzhao touched his head:

“

“Well, how much money do you need to invest?”

Fang Jifan said: “Money is a small matter. The most important thing now is the steam research institute. When will the steam ship be launched into the sea? Otherwise, if this delay continues, the money will be like running water and it will be too much to bear.”

“It’s almost, it’s almost.” Zhu Houzhao said: “If you improve it a little or two, it will be ready. Lao Fang, don’t worry…”

Fang Jifan was not worried at all.

……

A full month passed, and finally… news came from the Steam Research Institute.

The steam ship is about to be launched.

After hearing the news, Fang Jifan was extremely happy.

Millions of taels of silver and countless manpower are finally coming to fruition.

Fang Jifan immediately reported it. This time, the court obviously showed a strong interest in steam engines.

The previous steam trains have amazed the entire court, but this time… what will happen to the steam ships?

Emperor Hongzhi, who was full of expectations, immediately summoned Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao.

Liu Jian was also here, and he was smiling because… Fang Jifan sent him another letter from Huangjinzhou yesterday.

After reading the letter, Liu Jian found out that his son was teaching in Xinjin. In fact…at this moment, Liu Jian no longer cared about whether his son had any future. The only thing he hoped for was that his son would be safe.

A letter that reads like a face is enough to make Liu Jian happy for half a year.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao entered the Fengtian Hall and bowed.

Emperor Hongzhi wore glasses and had a different temperament. He lowered his head and glanced at Fang Jifan’s memorial: “I heard from Fang Qing’s family that the steamship has been developed. This is very good. What is this steamship? “Things.”

Fang Jifan actually didn’t know what Zhu Houzhao had cooked up, so he couldn’t help but glance at Zhu Houzhao sideways.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: “I haven’t tested the water yet, and I can’t say for sure.”

Emperor Hongzhi blew his beard and glared.

You publicized it with great fanfare, but you tell me that it’s not okay?

Liu Jian smiled and said: “Your Majesty, you really need to try something new before you know whether it is good or bad.” Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “I spent nearly ten million taels of silver, but we must not make any mistakes.”

Liu Jian

said with a smile.

Jian and others were smiling.

But when I heard about nearly ten million taels of silver.

The eyes of all the ministers in this palace are about to fall off.

They spend a lot of money on daily life, and the annual expenditure from the national treasury is only a few million taels. Just such a boat, you spend nearly ten million?

Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked at each other.

Xie Qian couldn’t help but look at Li Dongyang again.

Li Dongyang’s heart ached terribly.

As for the others, let alone others, especially Liang Chu, the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs, who came here to report today, he even snorted coldly.

He had a strong opinion against Fang Jifan. Ever since his daughter went to Xishan Academy, he had not been able to sleep well, thinking about his daughter’s reputation and her future.

There is also his wife, who has been crying all day long because of this matter. This whole family is really having a hard time.

Now that Fang Jifan doesn’t like him, he naturally won’t look good on him.
