Chapter 176 Pan Jixun, the turbid dragon bound by hand, is as miserable as a water ghost Gao Qiyu
In the first month of the fourth year of Wanli, the capital was overjoyed. Firstly, it was the New Year, and secondly, because the court won another battle last winter. Zhang Man, in the second year of Wanli was the Gule Village, and in the third year of Wanli was the Daning Guard. The Ming Dynasty has been winning battles recently, which makes it even more joyful.
The victory in the second year of Wanli and the third year of Wanli is related to the vital interests of everyone in the capital. At least for a short period of time, the people of the capital need not worry. Anda Khan and Tuman Khan have invaded again. , they must find a way to defeat the Daning Guard before they can go south.
Gyeonggi has regained some of its former prosperity and vitality. In just eight years from the first year of Longqing to the third year of Wanli, the emptiness of Gyeonggi has been somewhat alleviated.
The route that Anda Khan took was different from that of Ye Xian. After defeating the Beijing camp in Xuanfu (Zhangjiakou), Ye Xian entered the invaders from Zijingguan, while Anda Khan and Tuman Khan entered the army at Gubeikou Head south from Hexifengkou.
Qi Shuai is at least stable in the north.
There has never been a lack of impeachment of Qi Jiguang in the court, but because this kind of calming effect is still there, and Zhang Juzheng is still in power in the court, it is difficult for Qi Jiguang to be overthrown by some empty and hypocritical remarks. Such as Persian beauties.
As always, the young emperor met with foreign officials, county magistrates, elders and common people at Huangjimen. Every year, Zhang Juzheng carefully selected people.
The foreign officials I met this year were Prime Minister He Dao and Jiangxi Governor Pan Jixun. Prime Minister Pan Jixun was the Yellow River He Dao, and he was the governor of Jiangxi. Both positions have real power.
"Sir, why did Governor Pan manage river affairs in Jiangxi?" Zhu Yijun looked at Pan Jixun. Pan Jixun was very thin, with bright eyes and very shrewd eyes.
Zhang Juzheng said: "Because of the Yellow River incident, only Pan Jixun can bind the turbid dragon with his hands."
The mother river of the Yellow River has a very, very bad temper. It always shakes the tail of the dragon on the North China Plain, making the people of the North China Plain The people were troubled by the flooding of the Yellow River. As the weather turned colder, the water flow of the Yellow River dropped. The sediment from the high loess slopes settled on the river bed, and the Yellow River became an above-ground river.
Not only were there natural disasters, but there were also man-made disasters. The Northern Song Dynasty was still unable to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom could go south at any time.
However, the Northern Song Dynasty court was still unable to raise troops to regain the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, so Song Taizong began to dig holes everywhere in the North China Plain. For example, Baiyangdian was dug at that time, in an attempt to use water instead of troops to stop the northern invaders.
Under the guiding principle of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi to use water to replace troops, the Northern Song Dynasty has been using water to replace troops for more than a hundred years.
Sanyi Huihe was carried out under this guiding ideology. Sanyi Huihe was really unethical.
Can using water instead of troops really stop the northern invaders from going south? Actually no. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people marched southward. During the Jingkang crisis, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong went north to hunt directly.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin army that captured the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty failed to occupy Kaifeng and withdrew. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, the wise man who replaced Zongze stayed in Tokyo and Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Duchong was afraid that the Jin soldiers would abandon Kaifeng and dug out After arriving at the Kaifeng section of the Yellow River, he led his people to the south. After Du Chong dug up the Yellow River, the Yellow River took the Huaihe River and flowed into the sea.
It is worth noting that Du Chong, who was entrusted with important tasks by Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, was in charge of the defense of the Yangtze River. When the Jin people went south, Du Chong directly surrendered to the Jin people.
Du Chong excavated the Kaifeng section of the dike, and the Yellow River's temper became even more violent.
Later, the Jin Dynasty began to regulate the Yellow River, which broke its banks once every three days and once every five days. In the Yuan Dynasty, because of the management of the Yellow River, the Mo Dao Stone Eye was created, which provoked rebellion in the world.
The Yellow River is difficult to control. In front of Zhu Yijun stood a water conservancy expert who could tie the dragon with his hands, Pan Jixun.
Pan Jixun heard Zhang Juzheng’s comment about tying the turbid dragon with his hands. He just shook his head and said with a little sadness: "Yuan Fu is ridiculous. The only thing I am good at is building embankments to contain water and attacking with water." The sand is collected and cleared, and the river bed is flushed to protect the canal transport. The method of collecting water and flushing the sand is not worth mentioning. It cannot do its full work and cannot bear such ridiculous praise."
"Governor Pan has something to say. Just tell me." Zhu Yijun looked at Pan Jixun's hesitant expression and asked him to speak out what was stuck in his heart.
Pan Jixun took a deep breath and shook his head and said, "I don't want to harm my husband. Talking nonsense in front of the Quanchu Guild Hall will only make things difficult for my husband."
This is still a senior brother!
"But it's okay to talk. It was your idea to come out to meet foreign ministers. It's been the third year now." Zhu Yijun once again stated that there is nothing that cannot be said!
In the original historical line, the matter of receiving foreign officials was only done once in December of the first year of Wanli, and it was stopped amid opposition. Meeting with foreign officials was regarded as a kind of power. You, Zhang Juzheng, can do all the hard work for the Lord, right? Your disciples and former officials are all over the world, right? Who are you trying to scare?
Meeting foreign officials was an ancestral law during the Yongle period of Hongwu. Zhu Yijun thought it was very good, so he marked an × on any impeachment memorial and kept it.
Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "That's what you say."
"To control the river, we must first control the river. Without controlling the river, it is impossible to control the Yellow River. The former chief minister Xia Yan died because of the river, so I dare not say anything." Pan Jixun thought for a long time before saying.
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he expressed his position very solemnly and clearly: "There is nothing that cannot be said. Da Sima is clamoring every day to restore Hetao and restore Ningwei. Hasn't Ningwei already come back? We can talk about it, and we must talk about it."
"Can we talk about it?" Pan Jixun was stunned. He returned to Beijing to report on his work this time, and he did not have a clear grasp of the public opinion in the DPRK.
"Of course, I am the emperor, and I have a golden tongue, and a horse is hard to catch!" Zhu Yijun expressed his attitude clearly again, and it can be said.
Pan Jixun's water-reinforcement and sand-washing method, a set of combined boxing techniques, has been used in the Yellow River flood control system until the 21st century. It is still the core guiding ideology, and Pan Jixun clearly pointed out in his memorials during the Wanli period , treat the river first.
If the sediment is not dealt with at the source, water flushing will not last long.
Zhang Juzheng felt that Pan Jixun could bind the candle dragon with his hands, but Pan Jixun thought that he could not do his best.
Zhu Yijun specially ordered Pan Jixun to stay in the capital for a few days, and go to the side hall every day to explain the "Shui Shui Sand Washing Method". Pan Jixun had never personally entered the Loop, so his method was missing another element. An important part of the management of the Hetao.
Engineering is just like mathematics, it does not lie.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun transferred the "Overview of River Defense" and "Guide to the Two Rivers" written by Pan Jixun, "Yongding Woolen Shipyard Chronicles" written by Wang Chonggu, and "Yongding Woolen Shipyard Chronicles" written by Guo Rulin, Zhao Shizhen and others. "Songjiang Shipyard Chronicles", "Longjiang Shipyard Chronicles" and "Fujian Shipyard Chronicles" were put into the display window representing engineering.
Zhu Yijun covered the glass display window and stood in the side hall for a long time, while Zhang Juzheng stood aside, also full of relief.
Your Majesty has the ambition to inspire the Ming Dynasty. This is Hong. Your Majesty has the perseverance far beyond ordinary people. This is perseverance. Why worry that the Ming Dynasty cannot rise again?
"Sir, our Ming Dynasty is booming." The smile on Zhu Yijun's face was bright and sunny, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Wanli, the thirty-two people of the Ming Dynasty who were farthest from the Ming Dynasty were also celebrating the New Year. However, the conditions were simple and they could only open a bottle of Guojiao to pay homage to the capital. , it’s the New Year.
The Ming Dynasty fleet led by Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan is still on the four-masted sailboat. In the past six months, they have become people on the water.
Getting on the ship is a very, very hard thing.
In the past six months, Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan have experienced many dangers.
For example, the heavy fog caused by the collision of the Kuroshio, there are also rivers in the sea. This is something Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan knew before going to sea, and the rivers in the sea are also divided into two types: hot and cold, and hot and cold are different. If it gets heated, heavy fog will occur.
Different from the heavy fog on the road, the heavy fog at sea blocks out the sky and the sun. When sailing for several days, you can’t distinguish your fingers with your hand. The fog repeatedly changes into various shapes under the influence of the wind. This appearance made the already lonely voyage even more terrifying. A mood called loneliness spread in everyone's hearts, as if the passage of time had stopped.
And in the heavy fog, there was a sudden storm.
The weather at sea is always so unexpected. Amidst the heavy rain, strong winds and huge waves, the three four-masted sailing ships finally got separated. Everyone tied themselves to the ship with ropes for fear of being thrown out. I didn't dare to tie them too tightly, for fear that I wouldn't be able to escape when the ship sank. In fact, it was just a pointless struggle.
Human beings are so insignificant in front of nature.
The ship began to lack fresh water, or spirits. The fresh water on the ship can be replenished with rainwater, but only by mixing it with spirits can it ensure that there will be no diarrhea. After communicating with the captain Antonio, Gao Qiyu made the decision and sent The national cellar of spirits given to King Felipe II of Spain was taken out to ensure the supply of fresh water for the ships.
After being separated for nearly a month, the two lost boats miraculously appeared around again. The people on the boats shouted enthusiastically and fired firecrackers into the sky to celebrate this time. When they reunited, the firecrackers punched holes in the sail of the sailboat. Captain Antonio could only cheer and curse.
In fact, Antonio was prepared to lose both ships.
Even if one ship can arrive at the port smoothly, the profit will be enough to make up for the loss. The return of two ships is simply a miracle.
There were no pilots on the two ships. Translated into the Ming Dynasty's words, there was no pilot who could guide the stars across the ocean.
The art of guiding stars across oceans is a profound knowledge. In the Ming Dynasty, the crew also regarded them as gods who could do calculations and calculations. Under the heavy fog that obscured the sky, they could still navigate with the compass. This It is an extremely terrifying ability.
Navigators need to have profound arithmetic skills and stargazing abilities. In the West, there are not many navigators willing to board ships. In fact, from - Manila Moon Harbor - Acapulco (Mexico) - Li The route of Porto Mara (Peru) - Strait of Magellan - La Plata (Argentina) - Pará (Brazil) - Cape Verde (the westernmost tip of West Africa) - Seville (Spain) is still very unstable and immature. , especially when crossing the seemingly calm Pacific Ocean, there are still too many dangers.
People prefer the Macau-Goa (India)-Cape of Good Hope-Lisbon (Portugal) route. This route does not need to cross the rough Atlantic Ocean. There is land along the way, and fresh water and food can be replenished at any time. The important thing is that this route has been around for decades and is very mature.
The Spanish and Portuguese navigators actually did not like the new route opened by Spain, which was considered to be full of dangerous adventures.
So the separation of the two ships without a navigator meant death, but they still followed the river in the sea and followed the flagship with a navigator.
Xu Fan put down the telescope in his hand and said to Gao Qiyu: "There are no captains on the other two ships, which is also a means of restraint. Without the flagship, they will definitely die if they get lost in the vast sea. The captain It's the rein in Felipe II's hand."
"The crew can die at sea, but they must not steal Felipe II's wealth."
"It's also possible. It's because Felipe II can't equip enough sailors." Gao Qiyu thought of another possibility.
In the logbook, Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu have updated a lot. The topic they discussed this time was that the other two large ships did not have navigators.
Antonio said with certainty: "Gao's idea is right. It's not that Felipe II doesn't want to equip enough pilots. He can't do it. The explanation is not very complicated."
"Felipe II was even more domineering. He made clear regulations that the colonies could only trade with the metropolitan country and not with any other country. Trade between colonies was also expressly prohibited. And the colonies and the metropolitan country The trade between them, granted by Felipe II to a few merchants, was mainly concentrated in the port of Seville, making the Low Countries and the Principality of Aragon very dissatisfied."
"While in the colonies. The designated trading port is the Port of Veracruz, also known as the evil monopoly port, Felipe II’s money bag.”
The communication between Antonio and Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan is very strange, Gao Qiyu. Xu Fan was speaking in Chinese, and Antonio was speaking in Latin. The two parties were communicating bilingually. Each could understand what the other was saying, but each had its own position. Even if Gao Qiyu could speak Latin, he would not be able to speak Latin. Can't speak.
Gao Qiyu is the envoy of the Emperor of Heaven.
Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan glanced at each other. They could understand what Antonio was saying. Zheng He's voyages to the West were stopped during the Yongle and Xuande years. There were many factors, including the imperial court's monopoly on maritime trade. This eventually led to the intensification of opposition and public opinion, which eventually led to a shutdown. Even in the Ming Dynasty, in a country with a high degree of centralized power, a government order was both top-down and bottom-up, and it had to comply with the theory of contradiction before it could be implemented. However, the Ming Dynasty had a monopoly on trade in official ships.
Now Spain is facing the same dilemma. The opposition is so widespread that Felipe II can't even find a pilot.
Because the Maritime Academy is in the hands of nobles, powerful people and religions, and the pilots are also in their hands, the monopoly of trade has become precarious.
Under this decree of Felipe II, there was shocking smuggling. The governors of various colonial governorates tacitly used it to facilitate merchants under the shining of the empire where the sun never sets. ;
Spain's powerful people resisted this decree by not giving Felipe II a pilot, while the Low Countries of Niland took up arms to resist this decree.
Antonio smiled and said: "The dangerous time of this journey has passed. We are about to arrive in Acapulco. When we get there, we will get off the ship and walk to the port of Veracruz. It will only take three months at most. We will be able to arrive at the port of Seville within a few seconds.”
“Damn it, we have to transfer then. The sanitary conditions of those ships are extremely bad, and they are full of rats and fleas. Damn it.”
“Why can’t we learn the hygiene techniques of the Ming Dynasty?”
Antonio's smile disappeared!
He thought of something extremely bad. In the past six months, he had gotten used to the fact that there were no rats on the ship. Before, he would wake up every morning and see his dearest friend - the arm-long rat. , which was like a nightmare for Antonio, who was used to ships without rats.
He was used to the poor sanitary environment in the past and didn't think it was a problem, but now, when he thinks of that scene, he even breaks out in a cold sweat!
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
"Oh? Will we be able to arrive in three months?" Gao Qiyu said with some worry: "I am still a little worried. After all, the conflict in Luzon has cast a layer on this mission. Shadow, I am more worried about unnecessary conflicts when meeting the King of Spain."
"There is no need to worry." Antonio looked around and whispered in Chinese: "Actually, Felipe II. Shiya can't figure out where Manila is. Francisco has not reported the details of Luzon in detail, and now that he is captured by the gangsters, he can't even report it."
"It's not about running a boat. The Spaniards who came to Luzon actually thought that Luzon was a province of the Ming Dynasty, because the cargo of the large sailing ships were often goods with strong oriental colors, such as silk, tea, porcelain, spices, cotton cloth, paper, colored glaze, etc. Not everyone is like the Ming Emperor, who has to figure out where his territory is."
"The Art of Leading the Stars to Cross the Ocean, a cool name, even for religious reasons, the earth. The fact that it is a ball is not commonly talked about, even if it is a proven fact.”
Antonio said something that was not complicated.
Felipe II has only been to the Low Countries of the Netherlands. Felipe II does not know clearly the situation in Luzon. Luzon is really too far away.
"What do you mean by the captain, if we don't explain this matter, we can fool the King of Spain in such a stupid way?" Gao Qiyu carefully tasted Antonio's words, making sure that he heard correctly, and felt a sense of familiarity.
Yes, this is how the Ming Dynasty deceived the emperor, built an information cocoon, and trapped the emperor in a dream of a celestial kingdom, from which he could not extricate himself.
Antonio said with great certainty: "In fact, it is not uncommon for governors to be killed by local indigenous people. If Felipe II doesn't ask, there is no need to explain in too much detail. Manila's attitude towards Felipe II Isn't the most important thing in the world just trade? As long as trade is still going on, Felipe II will not ask too much."
"Legas knew this very well, so he did. In the letters, I never talked about the loss of Manila. I was Felipe II's opponent, so I should deceive him, and Legaz was Felipe II's special envoy, and Legaz would deceive his monarch. I have no moral burden."
"It's very reasonable," Xu Fan said with a nod.
Deception is common, just like smuggling is common. In fact, a son will not tell the truth to his father. Xu Fan told the truth to Xu Jie, and the result was that he changed from his father's good son to a murderer. He was a prisoner and was finally exiled from the army. He was sent to Taixi as a retinue.
For example, there was a shortage of spirits on the ship. Gao Qiyu made the decision and used all the spirits from the national cellar that were gifts from the Ming Emperor to Felipe II. As long as no one said anything, no one would know.
"We are almost to Acapulco. The rest of the journey will make you two very disappointed." Antonio spread his hands and said: "Don't have too many expectations for Tessie. The real situation is It might be a little worse than you imagine."
"Is it almost there?" Gao Qiyu was actually fed up with the days on the boat, and it felt really good to be down to earth.
"Yes, this is why Felipe II invested in me. I am an excellent pilot. The pilot of the galleon fleet is me." Antonio said with a smile on his face.
Felipe II chose Antonio because he really couldn't find a pilot.
Pilots are not very scarce in the West, but these pilots are not loyal to the royal family, mainly in the Principality of Aragon and the Low Countries. The Principality of Aragon is a partner of the Spanish Empire, and the Low Countries of the Netherlands are Pioneers in the fight against tyranny.
In the dim light of the morning light, three large sailing ships slowly sailed towards the port from the distant horizon. Their appearance was like a painting slowly unfolding.
The first thing that appeared was the mast of the ship, and then the soft sail with the red cross. Blown by the wind on the sea, the soft sail swelled like wings ready to fly, setting off the cross. Fuller.
Every patch and every trace on the sail seems to tell its past stories and adventures. Many of them are the broken pieces made when they met again and fired a gun at the sky. Hole, Antonio jumped to his feet and cursed.
Then there is the angle of the bow of the ship. At the tail of the angle is a stone sculpture of an eagle-beaked figure, carved by an Indian.
The morning sun shines on the hull of the large sailing ship. The three ships draw a beautiful waterline on the blue waves. The hull is wide and the lines are smooth. This is the largest ship in the Spanish Empire. It is loaded with cargo. goods from the far east.
When the four-masted galleon approached the port of Acapulco, people in the port began to run and cheer, and small boats began to leave the port one after another, attaching hooks to the big ship and towing the ship into the port. .
The weather was sunny and cloudless, and the waves gently lapped at the hull of the ship, creating waves like pearls. After the ship docked, people from the entire Acapulco port came out of the dock one after another. They rushed forward to catch a glimpse of the magnificent sailing ship.
Really majestic.
At this time, the crew of the large sailing ship also began to get busy. They skillfully operated the ropes and tied the ship firmly to the dock. Then the crew of the large sailing ship began to unload the cargo from the ship, boxes of goods. After being moved to the pier, the entire pier instantly became lively, with cheers constantly erupting.
Mercury is mined from the Ijo River in South America, and then transported to Rico Peak to refine the silver. It is minted into silver coins in the city of Potosí and sent to the port of Acapulco, which is the distribution center for goods and commodities in the entire New Spanish world. land.
The arrival of this large sailing ship has made the port of Acapulco more prosperous and active. People were trading goods on the docks, and cheerful, lively sounds echoed in the air.
The three large sailing ships have also become the symbol of this port, parked quietly on the pier, telling its past maritime adventures and future journey.
Gao Qiyu got off the boat, and then fell. On the boat, he got seasick. When he got off the ground, he got dizzy...
Walking was as weird as walking on cotton under his feet, even necessary. It took one to half a day to adapt, not only to Gao Qiyu, Xu Fan and Daming's envoys, but also to Antonio, the excellent captain.
After a day of rest, everyone adapted. After adding enough fresh vegetables, Gao Qiyu finally no longer looked like a water ghost, his lips were as white as paper, and he regained his former elegance and easy-going.
Gao Qiyu’s food is very simple. The staple food is crispy grilled corn chips, spicy burritos rolled with chicken or beef, a plate of chili sauce, two slices of lemon, a pinch of sea salt and a cup of tequila Wine, this is local food, and the taste of this tequila is not delicious. Gao Qiyu refused to drink this strange-tasting wine.
This time I went to sea, it was very bitter, tiring, and hard work, but it was very rewarding.
"Have you noticed? Their ships sailing on the sea can be regarded as a gift from God. They are as rough as the silk they weave and dye. They are completely adventurous." Xu Fan finished writing Sailing Diary, he said to Gao Qiyu, who was also writing vigorously.
They use hard pens, that is, pencils. There are no conditions at sea to write calligraphy with calligraphy, so it is really difficult.
"It is indeed an adventure, going with the flow, relying entirely on the rivers in the sea to move forward." Gao Qiyu agreed very much with Xu Fan's point of view, so all those who arrived in Luzon were desperadoes and people from the bottom, Antonio, Li Yashi and that fox demon Luo Lian are nobles.
Xu Fan said helplessly: "As the captain said, we don't have to have high expectations for the rest of the journey. This place is extremely simple."
"According to the captain, after we disembark, We will walk a land route of about 800 miles and board the ship again at the port of Veracruz on the Atlantic Ocean. If we choose to go south to the Strait of Magellan, we will need to walk more than 10,000 miles, which will take at least more than half a year. "< br>
“And this land journey is more dangerous than the sea journey.”
Gao Qiyu closed his logbook and was silent for a long time and said: “I only hope that our logbook can return to the sea smoothly. In the Ming Dynasty, there used to be an Indian kingdom here, which was destroyed by the Hongmao Fan more than fifty years ago."
"In fact, it is not difficult to find out from the captured Hongmao Fan documents. It’s just that we can’t beat our Ming Dynasty. We tried many times but were repulsed. Sure enough, what Uncle Zong said makes sense. The barbarians have a wolf-like face and a beast-like heart. They are afraid of power but not moral.”
Xu Fan nodded and said: "I agree with your point of view. After they destroyed this Indian kingdom, they began to enslave this place."
Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan set out again, from the port of Acapulco on the west coast of the Pacific to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Port of Veracruz, this land journey is very dangerous.
In addition to the harsh weather that rained for nine and a half days, there were also countless venomous snakes, mosquitoes, wild beasts, and howling Indians with faces painted in various colors rushing out of the jungle. Come out and attack the convoy.
All this made Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan miserable. Even the Tiqi and Xiaowei who were accompanying them lost three people in battle. One died from poisonous snakes, one died from mosquitoes, and one died at the hands of Indians. This part of the journey was so dangerous. , the driving force that drives merchants to cross the tropical rainforest is profit and wealth.
After a journey of nearly three hundred miles, the convoy began to enter a country called Tenochtitlan, also known as Mexico City, the original capital of the Aztec Kingdom, which was occupied by the Spaniards in Zhengde After sixteen years of occupation and more than fifty years of development, there are no traces of Indians here anymore.
In this place known as the City of the Sun, Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan were surprised to find that nearly a thousand Han people lived here.
They live in a place called the Chino Gathering Place. Doctors, tailors, weavers, gold and silver jewelers, carpenters, barbers and businessmen from the Central Plains are active in this City of the Sun. .
Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan had some contact with these people. They were all Han Chinese who immigrated to Luzon in the Ming Dynasty. The boatmen on the four-masted sailing ship came across the ocean and came here. They took root and sprouted tenaciously, and some They were sold here as slaves.
Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan didn't know how to describe it. These Han people had integrated with the local area. Some of them had never returned to the Ming Dynasty at all and could not even speak Chinese.
After resting for three days in the City of the Sun, they set off again. This part of the journey was downhill and went very fast. After only seven days, they arrived at the Port of Veracruz and set sail again.
The map of Gao Qiyu's route is under intense production. It will appear in this chapter in half an hour at most. It says that there will be something to do during the day tomorrow, and the update will be in the evening. There is probably only one chapter. Please give me a monthly ticket, Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
