Chapter 2185 Return to Ming Dynasty (Thanks to "1幕幽梦八百八八" For Becoming the New Leader of This Book)

"News just arrived."

The straightness of Zhu Zhan's base is almost comparable to the thick wooden pillars outside the door.

Fang Xing's heart tightened and he felt his eyes were a little sore, as if he had overused his eyes.

He blinked, and Zhu Zhanji was a little amused when he saw this, so he said: "The news just came quickly, Hong Bao... is back."

The wind blew in from outside, and there was a crisp sound of wind chimes at the door.

The wind chime was swaying, and Fang Xing took one look at it and knew that it was presented to the palace by the workshop.

"I don't want to hang up on this, but Duanduan has been making trouble for a long time. I just say it sounds good, so let's hang up."

As a man, he naturally has no interest in this kind of love object similar to that of a woman. Fang Xing has had this mentality before.

"Hong Bao... Taixi..."

But at this moment, his mind was filled with that place name, as if he had met the so-called enemy of his life.

"Tese!"

"Yes."

Zhu Zhanji said: "Lisbon, Frank, Plantagenet, and the three countries' envoys have followed Hong Bao to Daming, coming all the way by boat."

Seeing that Fang Xing was a little anxious, he said, "Hong Bao was cautious and just asked people to spread the word that those three families are not small countries."

"What did he say..."

Of course Fang Xing knew how big and small the Taixi country was, so he just pondered for a moment and got the answer: "That must be talking about ships. In other words, the Taixi people are already spying on the ocean."

"yes."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Life without opponents is difficult and impossible, so this is a good thing."

…

Going all the way north along the canal, although you can see many villages and small towns, you deliberately did not enter the big cities for supplies.

The fleet moved slowly, and the three missions that had been lifted from the ban looked greedily at both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Whether they were farmers, boatmen, or even Caoding, most of the Ming people they met along the way were calm, which was in sharp contrast to the numb Thai and Western people at the moment.

And they also noticed the fact that everyone had enough to eat.

This is rare. Rice and flatbread, which are as common as white bread in Western Europe, are very common in Ming Dynasty.

They ate many delicacies made of flour, among which the pot stickers, which made everyone in the fleet sigh, amazed them.

The smell is really... so fragrant!

It can make people forget the existence of white bread!

There are also various noodles, as well as cakes with different connotations, and even things that taste as soft as bread, all of which make everyone's taste buds explode.

“It’s really a more beautiful place than a painting!”

Farmers are working in the fields, and there is a faint smoke from the villages in the distance.

This is the scenery of a farmhouse, and the envoys from the three countries are familiar with it. When a few children ran to the river carrying earthen jars, they watched carefully and curiously.

Several farmers went to the river to wash their hands, then bowed their hands to the fleet and invited the children to sit down together.

"They're eating meat! Oh! They're eating meat!"

When Abel saw a woman scooping out pieces of the braised pork he had eaten from the earthen pot, he couldn't help but said with envy: "Look, that kid still has eggs!"

Several children helped obediently, and each of them got an egg.

Hong Bao also saw it, and an official around him explained: "The government advocates a variety of livelihoods for the people, and raising poultry and livestock is one of them. Mingbao often teaches people how to raise these things..."

"Potato has made a great contribution, right?"

Hong Bao was not an eunuch who was scheming in the palace. He and Zheng He and others went to sea many times. What didn't he know?

To put it bluntly, even among the most important ministers in the court, it is rare to have such knowledge as him.

The official was a little surprised, and then said: "Yes, with potatoes, rice or flour, the people will naturally be full. Most of the remaining food will be sold, and the remaining food can be used to raise poultry and livestock, so that person can With meat to eat, children can have eggs..."

The children looked at Hong Bao curiously, and one of them grinned at him. The mouth with several missing teeth looked a bit funny.

Hong Bao's expression softened a little. He glanced at the members of the mission on the boat behind him and said: "These Thai and Western missions came to the Ming Dynasty. The first thing is to intimidate them. We have suppressed them through food. In terms of force, the Navy I have let them know that the sea is not theirs, it is still lacking, but there is no rush.”

The fleet continued to move forward, gradually approaching the capital.

"Ashore!"

The fleet docked at a place, and the shore looked empty.

There is no dock, so the fleet pulls to the side one by one because of the depth of the water.

The feeling of being down to earth made Doc feel dizzy. He covered his eyes with his hands and looked into the distance and said, "It's a very good place. It's all fields."

Henry withdrew his eyes from the fleet. He regretted that those warships left alone after arriving in Ming Dynasty, which made his plan of looking for an opportunity to observe in vain.

Hong Bao was walking ahead, moving his body.

"Should we just walk?"

Abel didn't see anyone, so he smiled bitterly and said: "How far is it? Who is going to ask?"

Doc shook his head, "If they can leave, then so can we."

Both of them smiled tacitly, and Henry knew that they thought something was wrong with Daming, and the threat level was automatically lowered.

Just when they were slightly happy, a shock came.

The ground was shaking, and everyone turned around, looking very happy.

"It's the cavalry!"

Someone in the delegation yelled, and then saw Akito's reaction and immediately felt embarrassed.

Doc stared intently at the origin of the smoke in the distance, as did Abel and Henry.

They need to know the strength of Akito's army!

They have seen them on the sea, but the number is unknown.

What about on land?

"Array up!"

Someone on Akito's side shouted loudly, and then the sergeants and boatmen began to line up, neatly, like wheat in a field.

The cavalrymen in the distance were getting closer and closer. When he saw the leader, Hong Bao's eyes immediately turned red. Then he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. When he looked up again, the man was already in front of him.

Zheng He dismounted. He was old and his legs were a little weak after galloping all the way from Peiping.

He walked up to Hong Bao and was stunned when he saw him bowing his head and saying nothing. Then he patted his shoulder, looked at the array behind him and said, "Okay!"

This short word "good" uttered by Zheng He fully described the hardships and risks at sea.

Everyone looked excited, and someone shouted: "We're back! We're back!"

After going through the tribulation, the joy of relaxation and recognition could no longer be concealed.

"We're back!"

Amid laughter, Zheng He said to Hong Bao, who was still bowing his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know about that."

Hong Bao's body trembled, he raised his head and looked at Zheng He in surprise, and then said bitterly: "From that day on, our family will treat themselves as dead."

Zheng He smiled and said, "Will I coax you?"

Hong Bao's heart was pounding faster, his face turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law..."

Zheng He nodded and said: "You are very good. I have been worried about you. You really brought them back safely. You are really... really good."

Hong Bao lowered his head suddenly, and then water droplets fell quickly.

Zheng He lamented: "If I had gone there at that time, according to what the imperial doctor said after returning to Beijing, I probably would not have been able to come back..."

When the people in the mission saw Zheng He and Hong Bao even crying, they thought it was the excitement of seeing each other again after a long absence.

"That man is even more powerful than that Hong Bao. Find a chance to talk."

Henry feels that Zheng He should be Hong Bao's boss. Then they saw a man walking over. Hong Bao raised his head, wiped his tears in confusion, and then talked to the man.

"Who is this person?"

The pleasantries over there ended quickly. Hong Bao brought Zheng He and Fang Xing to wake up and introduced the identities of both parties.

Zheng He's new identity was shocking, and the three of them all paid attention to the change in his expression.

"This is Uncle Xinghe of the Ming Dynasty... Fang Xing."
