Chapter 1936 Prescription

Zheng He looked tired, and when he came out and saw many people gathering, he asked, "Are you all scared?"

This group of people are all old people who followed Zheng He. The long life at sea has made many people lose their pride. They just want to go out step by step to express their condolences, and then go back to be rewarded. It is a safe profession.

"Most of you have wives and children. It's common sense to be reluctant. Our family doesn't blame you."

Zheng He's words made many people bow their heads.

"No one knows what's ahead. Maybe it's a treasure land full of gold. Of course, it's more likely to be a fierce place that can destroy the fleet."

"Our family is also afraid, but our family is even more afraid of..."

Zheng He swung his fist violently and roared, "Our family is even more afraid that Daming's prestige will become a joke in others' mouths! We are even more afraid that the next generation will not be as good as the next generation. They can't even build boats, and dare not even go out to sea!"

Those people gradually raised their heads, with unwillingness in their eyes.

That Qianhu shouted: "Grandfather, we are not afraid! Let's go around and see what is behind!"

Zheng He's eyes turned, and a smile appeared on the faces of these subordinates who had followed him for many years, who were haggard due to lack of sleep.

He felt relieved, so he said involuntarily: "We are the sailors of Daming, not fishermen or pirates."

He pointed to the front and said: "Our family wants to go and see what is there. Whether there are monsters or monsters ahead, or there are huge waves, our family wants to go and see, for Daming! "

"Eunuch, our family is willing to go."

Hong Bao was the first to respond, and volunteered: "Our family is willing to take a few boats to explore the way. If we can't return, we will have no regrets."

His face was resolute, even with the meaning that he could not refuse: "Elder-in-law, you must take the fleet back. Daming can lose one Hong Bao, but he cannot lose you!"

Wang Jinghong nodded and said: "Yes, father-in-law, you know everything about the Western region, and most of the diplomatic negotiations between the DPRK and China depend on your advice, so you can't go!"

Zheng He said with relief: "Our family feels that our health is getting worse and worse. If we die on the bed, then our family will regret it for the rest of our lives. Don't argue with anyone. Choose six ships and fill them with supplies. Our family is ready to leave immediately."

Hong Bao said in despair, "Eunuch..."

Zheng He nodded to him, and said: "It's good that you have this idea of ​​serving the country, let's do it in the future. At the beginning, Xing Hebo said that the world is so big that it can make those people in the court despair. , our family will not rest in peace!"

"Two grain ships, and the remaining four new ships are all taken away."

The fleet is actually a standard military unit, and if the commander makes up his mind, it cannot be changed.

The fleet quickly began to mobilize supplies: the long-distance voyage not only needs food, but also tea, soybeans, dried vegetables, and dried meat...

"My father-in-law is sick."

After Zheng He explained, he went into the cabin to rest. He fell ill during the storm, and he still commanded the fleet to deal with the storm. He has been busy until now.

"Eunuch's face is getting thinner and out of shape, Eunuch Wang..."

Hong Bao pulled Wang Jinghong to the side, and said in a low voice: "What my father-in-law needs now is to recuperate.

If you leave by force, you and I both know what the consequences will be..."

Wang Jinghong nodded, watched the grain ships approaching, and then began to adjust supplies.

"You also know the father-in-law's temperament. Since he has decided to go, no one can stop him."

Hong Bao watched blankly as the fleet began to disintegrate on the sea. Four new warships came out first, and the remaining two grain ships were still deploying supplies.

Wang Jinghong was deeply worried about Zheng He's body.

Hong Bao left the side of the ship. He went to find the doctor first, then went to make a cup of tea, and knocked on Zheng He's cabin door.

Zheng He was resting, his eyes were bloodshot, and his breathing was heavy and laborious.

Seeing that Hong Bao was holding hot tea in his hand, Zheng He drank the tea slowly after thanking him. Seeing Hong Bao's strange expression, he said: "Our family is just a little tired, and it will be enough to take care of it on the boat for a while. .”

Hong Bao's body was a little stiff. He lowered his head and said, "Eunuch, Xing Hebo said that you are the number one sailor in this dynasty. Looking at the world, you are still the number one, so...you have to take care of yourself."

Zheng He rubbed between his eyebrows, feeling a little weak in his body, he put down his teacup, breathed hard a few times, and said, "It's okay, our family should have caught cold and damp in the storm, let the doctor take a look later."

Hong Bao nodded and said in a low voice, "Elder-in-law, let's get some sleep..."

Zheng He shook his head, his voice gradually sank: "It's all right, the grain ship will be dispatched quickly, our family will change the ship... for..."

Zheng He only felt that exhaustion was drowning him like a tide. He leaned back on the chair, tilted his head back, and gradually fell asleep.

Hong Bao quietly went out to find Wang Jinghong, and brought him to see Zheng He.

As soon as he entered the cabin door, Wang Jinghong heard the sound of snoring, and Zheng He was already sleeping soundly on the desk next to him.

"Eunuch is too tired."

Wang Jinghong turned around and looked at Hong Bao who was standing outside the cabin door and said, "Let the fleet wait for an hour."

This is not a big deal, but Hong Bao shook his head.

"Eunuch Wang, our family asked the doctor just now for some medicine for sleeping. It doesn't taste very good. Eunuch is tired, so he thought it was herbal tea..."

Hong Bao's voice was a little erratic, but it was like a thunderbolt hitting the warehouse, which shocked Wang Jinghong.

"How dare you drug your father-in-law?"

Hong Bao said calmly: "As I said before,

Father-in-law's health is not getting better, he can bear it, but can we just watch? Our family told the doctor that he couldn't sleep at night, so we should make more..."

"You are courting death!"

Wang Jinghong didn't expect Hong Bao to be so bold. He gritted his teeth and said, "The general is stunned, just wait for your head to be lost."

Hong Bao walked in and said nonchalantly: "If you kill the head, you will kill the head, but before that, our family will take people to explore the waterway."

Wang Jinghong laughed angrily, and said, "Are you crazy to climb up?"

Hong Bao said hesitantly: "Our family doesn't want to do meritorious deeds now. Even if we found Taixi for such a serious crime, at most the merits and demerits will be offset. What our family wants is to lead the fleet to search by ourselves, even if there are only six ships. Our family is also satisfied!"

Wang Jinghong was silent, he found a quilt for Zheng He to cover himself, then pointed outside, and went out with Hong Bao.

When the two of them arrived on the deck, Wang Jinghong saw that the grain ship had already allocated supplies, and began to leave the fleet, approaching the four new warships, and said, "Have you thought it through?"

Hong Bao nodded and laughed at himself: "Our family and father-in-law are from the same township, and we were sent to the palace together. Fortunately, Emperor Wen valued us."

When the Ming army conquered Yunnan, a large number of children were castrated and sent to the palace. Many of the eunuchs who followed Zhu Di were reused.

"Our family is one year older than my father-in-law. In the fleet, we are only in command of those sergeants, but our family likes to go to sea, and like the feeling that the future is uncertain. Wang Gonggong, please help."

Hong Bao bowed his hands solemnly.

Wang Jinghong turned to look at the fleet, and said quietly: "Our family also wants to go, but the fleet must be led by someone, you..."

At this moment, Hong Bao's heart was boiling and tormented like a frying pan. He used actions to cut off his retreat, and there was no possibility of turning back.

But if Wang Jinghong disagreed, he could only have someone tie him up and deal with it after Zheng He woke up.

"You...you go on your own. When the father-in-law wakes up, our family will naturally relax for you."
