    In Penghu, the waves hit the warship, and the sailors were rushing back and forth on the warship. Although they were very busy, they were not panicked at all.  It was obvious that this was not the first time these men had done this. The decks were cleared, the guns wiped down, and everything was in order.  The commander of the Dutch fleet, Waite, stood on the bow of the ship, frowning slightly as he watched the waves continue to hit the ship.  Behind him was the deputy commander of the fleet, Brian, who was not disrespectful at all and looked cautious.  Waite has been angry several times in the past few days, and Brian doesn't want to cause trouble for Waite at this time.  "Brian, is there any news? According to the time, our letter should have been sent back. Now we need reinforcements, you should be very clear about this." Looking back at Brian, Waite's expression  He seemed to be feeling better and said softly.  "Your Excellency, Commander, there is no news so far, but I think it will only be a day or two. As for our need for reinforcements, I think there is no problem. After all, trade across the Taiwan Strait has provided enough benefits to those people, and they  I won't give up here easily." Seeing that Waite seemed relieved, Brian was half relieved, but he still maintained an unprecedented level of respect when he spoke.  He nodded slowly. Although he was satisfied with Brian's attitude, Waite was really not in the mood to care about this right now.  After all, things in the Taiwan Strait are the most important thing now. It's already December. If reinforcements don't come, it may really be too late.  He had received an ultimatum from the Ming Dynasty three days ago. If he did not withdraw from Penghu before March, the Ming Dynasty would send troops.  At the same time, there are also the Spaniards who have just formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. They will do their best to help the Ming Dynasty.  After receiving the news, Waite suddenly felt as if a fly had been stuffed into his mouth. It was really disgusting.  For the former Spanish Empire.  Waite's heart is still full of respect. The invincible armada that roams the sea has always been Waite's pursuit.  But now it seems that the Spaniards have lost all this.  The Armada was sunk, and at the same time the proud heart of the Portuguese was sunk.  For the Spaniards, Waite was not worried at all. Spain was already crippled.  It's so easy to stand up.  However, Waite has never underestimated the Ming Dynasty.  If such a huge country really takes action at sea, it will definitely be more than just talk.  Thinking about the legends from two hundred years ago, in Waite's opinion, they are definitely not legends.  The Ming Dynasty must be blocked, this is what Waite warned himself countless times.  There is another big threat, and that is Zheng Zhilong.  This man from the Ming Dynasty, who was born a pirate, has advantages that he does not have.  This person is different from Li Dan. He is very ambitious and also has methods. He is a very difficult character to deal with.  From Waite¡¯s point of view, no matter what kind of action he takes, it will not work at the moment because his strength is too weak.  Although his own battleships are the most advanced in the world.  But after all, the quantity is too small.  Waite decisively chose to ask for help. After all, there was no need to burden himself with these things.  Beijing city.  In the Forbidden City, Emperor Tianqi was sitting on a huge sledge, with several big dogs running in front of him.  Countless eunuchs followed on both sides, running anxiously and shouting loudly at the same time.  Wearing a large cloak, Emperor Tianqi gently pinched his son's cold-red cheeks.  He laughed and said, "Is it cold?" "Father, the child is not cold, let's hurry up, okay?" For a child, it is rare to play with his father.  His father was always the wise emperor, always doing endless things.  Given such an opportunity, it becomes very clingy.  Emperor Tianqi hugged his son in his arms, with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "Okay! Let's hurry up and run away!" The laughter spread on the snow for a long time.  Standing on the steps, looking at the hilarious Emperor Tianqi and his son, Queen Zhang had a smile on her face and looked satisfied.  He turned around and looked behind him, and said to Wang Chengen who was on the side: "Eunuch!" "Empress, I am here!" No one in the entire palace dared to disrespect Empress Zhang.  After so many years of unfailing favor, and with so many concubines in the entire palace, Emperor Tianqi has always been very fond of Queen Zhang.  Emperor Tianqi handed over the entire harem affairs to Queen Zhang. After so many years, he was cautious in accumulating power.  "Go to the queens at the back and tell them that the emperor is playing here with his children. They haven't seen the emperor in many days, so they should bring the children over and get close to the emperor." Empress Zhang is very kind-hearted.  Emperor Tianqi's favor and trust in him over the years did not make her arrogant, but instead made her more like a mother to the world.  Wang Chengen was slightly startled, glanced at Queen Zhang on the side, bowed respectfully, and said: "Just do it now!  " Wang Chengen did not dare to look down on Queen Zhang at all. Although this master was usually kind-hearted, he could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. This time, his approach was very clever and fully demonstrated the magnanimity of the queen. Tianqi  The emperor will only be happy. But for his concubine, this is a show of force, which can shock people! Of course, Emperor Tianqi doesn't know about all this, but even if he knows, he will probably just laugh it off.  Having lived in this era for so long, Emperor Tianqi naturally understands what is most important. If he wants to prevent the harem from getting into trouble, he must consolidate the position of the queen and prevent others from taking advantage of her. Queen Zhang has done a very good job over the years.  Well, I was very satisfied. Soon, Emperor Tianqi's son and daughter came. It was obvious that the dog sledge could not be made. Emperor Tianqi took his children and started to build a snowman, and then they had a snowball fight with a group of eunuchs.  The palace maids fled in all directions, and laughter continued to spread. A group of concubines stood on the steps, with smiles on their faces. This was the first time in their lives that everyone was tired of playing. Emperor Tianqi.  He took a group of children to eat. The imperial dining room had been prepared for a long time, with Emperor Tianqi sitting on the main seat, and a group of concubines leading their children. Under Emperor Tianqi's malicious instigation, the whole meal seemed very special.  The harmony and laughter continued. Finally, the moon rose above the willow tree, and the concubines took their children back to the palace! Ah! A pleasant moan sounded in the mouth of Emperor Tianqi, who leaned on the bed, with Queen Zhang below.  Squatting on the ground, he gently placed Emperor Tianqi's feet in the basin. He rubbed them gently with his hands, with a touching blush on his face. "In such a cold winter, it is really a blessing in life to be able to soak your feet.  What a blessing.  The queen's technique is getting more and more mature. I want to enjoy it more while I'm young. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it when I get old!  "Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes gently and said with a satisfied smile on his face. "What are you saying, Your Majesty? I will serve His Majesty for the rest of my life. Whenever the Emperor wants to soak his feet, I will do it.  The emperor soaked.  This prescription was requested by the imperial physician, the concubine. The medicinal materials in it are good for the emperor's health.  The emperor is really overworked, and my body and mind aches very much.  "Empress Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said with a bit of displeasure on her face. She knew that Emperor Tianqi liked such an equal way of getting along, as if they were really an ordinary couple, not the emperor and queen of the same country. She shook her head with a smile  , Emperor Tianqi sighed and said: "I also want to take a rest, but time is not waiting for me, there are too many things in the Ming Dynasty that I need to do.  I can't give up, I must finish everything I can in my lifetime.  You are the queen of the Ming Dynasty. How can you soak my feet when you are old?  " "Common families raise children to protect themselves from old age. In the future, when the emperor and his concubine are old, they will let their sons soak their feet.  Giving birth to and raising them is easy. To repay the kindness of raising them, start by soaking your feet!  "Empress Zhang had a smile on her face. At this moment, she thought of a good idea and asked her son to soak the emperor's feet. Thinking of her little son, holding a huge footbath, Empress Zhang immediately smiled.  Get up. This will make Emperor Tianqi happy, and his son's reputation of benevolence and filial piety will spread. Looking at Empress Zhang who was giggling there, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile, "Is there anything you are happy about?"  Say it to me and make me happy.  " How could Empress Zhang tell Emperor Tianqi about this kind of thing? Her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head and stopped talking. Emperor Tianqi asked anxiously, so he said coquettishly: "This is a woman's matter, so don't ask anymore questions, Your Majesty.  .  " Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, don't guess what a woman is thinking! Since this topic can't be continued, Emperor Tianqi changed the subject and said: "You did a good job in today's affairs. I am very relieved.  In this palace, you are the queen, so you should think more about anything.  There are many people in this palace, but I always feel that I am missing a bit of popularity.  " "Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered something. Is the palace letting a group of maids out next year?  After all, it would be bad if you delay getting married!  While he is still young, he can get a good home if he is released.  "Queen Zhang still sympathized with those palace maids. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said. "The queen is interested. Let the queen handle this matter!  A batch is released every three years. Let this be a permanent rule!  "After all, Emperor Tianqi comes from later generations, and he still can't accept the idea of ??letting women live in the palace for a long time. After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi continued: "It will be the sixth year of Tianqi. There will definitely be a lot of things next year, and I may not have time to do it.  .  The queen is still in charge of matters in the harem. I feel very relieved. It¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s rest!  " After ordering someone to take Emperor Tianqi's footbath out, Queen Zhang gently got into bed. (To be continued) ps: LeaveI've been here for a week, so I won't tell you what I did. I would like to apologize to everyone for not saying hello to everyone in advance.  I've resumed updating since today. It's late today, so it's just one chapter.  I will finish writing this book no matter what, so please don¡¯t worry!
