readx Alexandra was smiling, and Zhao Lie was a little embarrassed.
They had just made a bet.
Alexandra bet that she could outrun Zhao Lie in the horse riding circle race, and Zhao Lie bet that he could win.
Just kidding, although my own horse Their skills are average, but they can't lose without losing.
They can't lose without fighting in front of the woman they like.
The bet they made is that if Alexandra loses, she will teach Zhao Lie how to dance Portuguese.
If Zhao Lie loses, I want to teach Alexandra a Ming Dynasty dance.
As a result, in the two-lap and three-mile circle race, Zhao Lie was defeated by four lengths behind.
Alexandra's equestrian skills were superb.
Her body rose and fell with the horse's pace, which not only saved horsepower but also made her rich.
Rhythm, Zhao Lie couldn't help but admire the beauty as he followed from behind.
While General Zhao was intoxicated, it didn't matter if he didn't look at Zhao Lie's riding posture, that is, he couldn't fall off the horse.
Alas, why is the gap so big?
Zhao Lie was extremely depressed.
"I accept it, Lord Zhao."
Alexandra smiled proudly and gave a slightly exaggerated salute, "When will Lord Zhao fulfill your promise?"
The little appearance was extremely perverse, making Zhao Lie dumbfounded.
Alexandra has rarely had the upper hand all this time, so today she just made it a little difficult for him.
Zhao Lie smiled slyly and looked around at the many pairs of eyes that glanced at him from time to time.
"Miss Alexandra, are you sure you want to learn dance here?"
Well, something is weird, Alexandra raised her eyebrows, "Master Zhao, I will inform you of the location when I arrive."
"What a pity."
Zhao Lie licked his lips and muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
Alexandra asked inexplicably.
"Nothing, cough."
Zhao Lie's face straightened, "Miss Alexandra, I officially ask you to learn riding skills as my master.
I hope you won't refuse."
My riding skills really need to be practiced hard.
It is a life-saving existence, and with Alexandra by his side, this practice becomes enjoyment, so why not do it.
"Oh," Alexandra said with a smile, "Well, Mr.
Zhao, where is your apprenticeship ceremony?"
"Ahem, this..."
You have learned Ming Dynasty etiquette well.
Do I still want to serve you tea and become your disciple?
. , his face was not good-looking, Zhao Lie was in a dilemma for a while.
"Sir," a guard came close to report: "Sir, Mr.
Zhao has arrived.
Mr.
Wan, please come to the dock to greet him."
Oh, Zhao Lie raised his eyebrows, why did dad come suddenly?
"You go back to Master Tong Bingwan first, I will be there soon."
Zhao Lie turned to Alexandra and gritted his teeth: "Zhao Lie will learn from you someday.
Now, my father is here, how about Miss Alexandra coming with me."
To express an attitude to my father, this is my If you are interested in the person you like, don’t dwell on this matter anymore.

Alexandra's skin turned red, but she still straightened her waist bravely, "Okay, I will go to welcome you as the Portuguese envoy."
"Miss, are you just serving as the Portuguese envoy?"
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
Alexandra's face turned red, and she suddenly spurred her horse on, moving forward without saying a word.
Zhao Lie followed with a smile.
Zhao Haiming looked at Shidao Bay in surprise on the Fushan.
A large-scale town had already stood in the harbor, extending from the dock to the inland.
It was endless as far as the eye could see.
Looking around, there were forts built at both ends of the bay, and cargo was unloaded in the bay.
The trestle, the naval camp at the inner end, and the shipyard in the northeast can be seen at a glance.
"It's so lively here."
Zhao E stood on tiptoe and looked at it, smiling.
As a child, of course, the more lively the better, she said.
"Father, this place was built by the eldest brother and the second brother."
Zhao Feng asked in surprise.
"Of course," Zhao Haiming twisted his beard and laughed, feeling very pleased.
"There used to be only one fishing village here, but your eldest and second brothers built it into what it is now."
The Fushan approached the trestle and took the escalator.
Zhao Haiming, Zhao Feng, and Zhao E walked off the ship surrounded by their guards.
"Welcome to the Commander-in-Chief."
Zhao Lie, Zhao Meng, Wan Ji, Huang Han, Li Hu, Zhao Da and others knelt down on the trestle to welcome him.
"Everyone, get up."
Zhao Haiming gave some help, and everyone stood up one after another.
"Eldest brother, second brother."
Zhao E jumped into Zhao Meng's arms.
Zhao Feng was older after all, so she greeted her eldest brother and second brother in a polite manner.
"Father, you have been working hard all the way.
Please come back with me to rest first.
Mother has prepared wine and food."
Zhao Lie stepped forward and said.
"Not busy."
Zhao Haiming waved his hand slightly and walked forward.
Everyone followed him.
Zhao Haiming walked into the entrance of the naval camp, "Stop, command."
There were ten soldiers standing at the door, and the chief among them shouted.
"Forever."
Zhao Lie replied.
Shi Chang put his right hand on his chest and saluted.
He raised his hand and the soldiers let the door open.
"Well, it's a bit like Xiliu Camp."
Zhao Haiming nodded with satisfaction and entered first.
Zhao Lie returned the military salute to Chief Shi.
Wan Ji, Huang Han, Tang Xianwen and others also returned the gift.
Zhao Haiming came to the docked Wei Qing and looked up at the Wei Qing's round bow, tall mainmast and the observation deck above.
"Lie'er, this is the red-haired clipper."

Zhao Haiming saw from a distance on the Fushan that the Weiqing had several tall mainmast rope ladders and sails that were different from the Fushan.
He came to watch immediately after getting off the ship.
As a naval veteran, Zhao Haiming was not generally interested in Xiyi warships.
"Yes, father, this is the largest ship here, with thirty cannons.
The cannons have just been installed, doubling the power."
The Wei Qing is the first Galen warship to install new naval guns.
It was just installed yesterday.
The original nearly forty large and small naval guns have been converted into thirty guns, mainly heavy guns.
They will go out to sea for sea trials today to test the center of gravity, gun test firing, and deck load-bearing.
The other ships were still training desperately under the leadership of the captain.
Zhao Lie had already ordered hard training so that there could no longer be an embarrassing situation where three ships could not stop two enemy ships.
"Oh, let's take a look."
Zhao Haiming, a general of the Ming Dynasty Navy, has heard about the red gunboats for a long time.
The clippers are so powerful that the Fujian Navy dispatched hundreds of warships to repel less than ten red warships.
Today we can take a look.
Zhao Haiming, led by Captain Muñoz of the Wei Qing, watched the cabins on the upper deck with great interest, and then went to the gun deck on the lower deck to watch the newly installed artillery.
Twenty-five of Wei Qing's original thirty-plus long-barreled artillery pieces were replaced with twenty new short-barreled naval guns.
The caliber was increased to enhance the destructive power of the artillery.
The old matchlock guns on the ship were also replaced.
With the new flintlock gun, it can be said that the change of equipment is completed.
"Lie'er, warships like this are built for artillery battles, right?"
Zhao Haiming is indeed an old navy man.
He hit the nail on the head.
Thirty cannons are installed in a ship, which is a mobile fort.
If you can't survive, it's impossible to rely on gangs to fight.
"My father is wise.
This ship was built to sink the opponent.
Currently, the continent where Hongmao is located has warships carrying more than a hundred guns, which is more than four times the number of this ship."
Zhao Lie replied.
"Hiss," Zhao Haiming broke a few beards.
"No wonder the Fujian Navy fought fiercely with Hong Mao for many years before repelling them.
It is indeed difficult to match.
Only fire ships can stand up to the battle."
"Father, I can see clearly, but it is also a red-haired ship captain.
If there are smaller warships to resist the fire ships, the outcome is still uncertain."
Zhao Lie pointed out the red-haired ship captain in a subtle way.
There were less than ten ships, and hundreds of ships faced off against ten.
A ship means victory but not a victory.
If there are fast ships to help and resist the fire ships, the Fujian Navy will definitely be defeated.
"Lie'er, how powerful is a short-barreled cannon like this?"
Zhao Haiming was very familiar with long-barreled cannons, but he had never seen this short-barreled cannon.
"Father, this is a new cannon built by my son.
Within one mile, a few cannons can severely damage an enemy ship.
The broken ship planks will especially damage the people on the enemy ship."
Zhao Lie elaborated on the advantages of the short-barreled cannon.

"Oh, let's go test the cannon."
Zhao Haiming was anxious.
"Father, you have been tired all the way, so you should go back home to rest first, and then try the cannon again."
Zhao Meng, Zhao Lie and others persuaded.
Zhao Haiming was unmoved.
As an old navy man, his desire for big ships and cannons trumped everything else.
He must go with the ship to test the cannons.
Therefore, Zhao Lie and Tang Xianwen accompanied him, and Zhao Meng, Wan Ji, and Huang Han returned.
After all, someone still needed to be in charge of Shidao. sThe protagonist is ready to go, waiting for the opportunity.
