Chapter 439 The Emperor Arrives in Dongfan, and the Coastal Defense Artillery Roars

The temporary study where Zhu Di stayed.

Zhu Di looked at the news sent back from Peacock Island.

Mao Xiang stood in front of Zhu Di's desk and reported: "Master, the Luzon security forces had a conflict with the Mindoro Island Self-Defense Force two months ago. After being beaten back by the Mindoro Island Central Plains Migrant Self-Defense Force, the actions became more and more frequent. In addition, the Military Intelligence Department received news that Chen Zuyi's people were actively running around in various regions of Luzon, integrating the princes of various ethnic groups in Luzon for King Lagan of Luzon..."

Zhu Di listened carefully while watching.

There are tribes such as Kankanai, Kalinga, Bangdu, Yanjian, Tagalog, and migrants from the Central Plains in Luzon.

Central Luzon is the ruling center of King Lagan of Luzon.

However, fortunately, the ethnic distinctions in this era are not serious.

People's identification with ethnic groups is mostly for warmth.

There is no racialism like in later generations.

Just like the Mongols and the Central Plains.

Jurchens and the Central Plains.

Overthrowing the previous regime with powerful force can still rule these people.

If the people under the rule are better than the previous dynasty.

It is not difficult to change their customs.

As long as the old customs are replaced by a more advanced and civilized one, which can better show that people are people, not livestock slaves.

Whether it is the Tagalogs, the Mongols, or the Yanjians, they should be able to accept it.

But if it takes another six or seven hundred years.

When the national character awakens, it will be extremely difficult to do this again.

"Have the two battalions of the First Army Town we sent to Peacock Island landed on Mindoro Island?" Zhu Di suddenly raised his head and asked.

"They landed and had combat contact with the Luzon Xiang Army. According to the brothers' report, this group of Luzon Xiang Army has no rules in fighting, but they are very savage, as if they are not afraid of death at all..."

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head.

The lower the level of civilization, the more savage people are.

He has come into contact with the Tusi tribe in Fujian.

The people in these tribes are also very savage.

In fact, they are just like children.

Teenagers like to do all kinds of impulsive and passionate things. When they grow up, they always feel red-faced and have a deep sense of social death when they recall the fights they had with their friends.

In fact, this is a kind of recklessness.

The more immature and less civilized people are, the more so.

This is true for individuals and groups.

As long as these people are thoroughly educated and assimilated with more advanced customs and civilization, they will never mention their so-called customs with a low level of civilization.

Just like when people recall their childhood behavior after adulthood, they feel red-faced and socially dead.

Once the Luzon people accept the assimilation of the Central Plains civilization, they will definitely regard their previous customs as a shame.

If they are recognized from the legal system as descendants of Yan and Huang, but they migrated from the Central Plains early, the Central Plains civilization progressed, and they did not progress synchronously because they lived on an island.

He believes that the Luzon people will firmly grasp the identity of descendants of Yan and Huang.

Who dares to deny their identity as descendants of Yan and Huang.

The young scholars of the future will spit out fragrance and spray each other to death.

In later generations, the small countries around the Central Plains have been stealing the civilization of the Central Plains, trying to take it for themselves.

In fact, this behavior has well reflected their inferiority complex about their past civilization!

It's just the era of national awakening.

They want the civilization of the Central Plains.

But they are unwilling to admit that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang.

If they are willing to admit that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang, it would be justified to share the inheritance of civilization.

However, in this era, the ignorant nationality has created an opportunity for him!

"According to the summary of the military intelligence department of various places in Luzon, if Chen Zuyi can really mediate and persuade the various ethnic groups in Luzon to assist King Lagan and fight with us together, Luzon's elite, wing troops, and tribal soldiers can probably gather 180,000 to 190,000!"

"The bigger the scale, the better! We originally wanted to use Luzon to show our Yanfan fangs to the court civil and military officials." Zhu Di smiled easily and put down the letter in his hand.

He tapped the letter with his fingers and asked, "We sent troops to Mindoro Island. Have the Central Plains immigrants in Central Luzon been implicated?"

According to the investigation of the Military Intelligence Department.

Since the seventh century, immigrants from Fujian, Guangxi and other places have been going out to sea and migrating to Luzon.

The Central Plains immigrants are mainly concentrated in Central Luzon.

That is, Manila.

It is precisely because the Central Plains immigrants gathered in Manila.

The Central Luzon region was the first to stand out from the entire Greater Luzon region.

Now, the total population of Central Luzon is about one million.

Among them, there are 160,000 to 170,000 Central Plains immigrants.

He was worried that King Lagan of Luzon would take the lead in targeting the Central Plains immigrants in Central Luzon because he sent troops to Mindoro Island.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Di saw Mao Xiang's face turn black and was a little curious.

Mao Xiang replied with a dark face: "Master, this group of Central Plains immigrants have not been affected by us. On the contrary, the elites among this group of immigrants are trying their best to discredit us!"

"At the same time, they spread rumors among the Central Plains immigrants who depend on them, saying that the court attacked Luzon to severely punish those who betrayed their ancestors and wanted to kill all the immigrants to warn the people of the Central Plains that they deliberately distorted the court's sea ban and used the sea ban to spread rumors..."

Zhu Di's face was slightly gloomy.

"In order to stop us, this group of elites also paid out of their own pockets to form a self-defense force of about 10,000 people, and they cooperated more deeply with Chen Zuyi. They were all equipped with short-barreled muskets, and the leading general Cai Wen was the eldest son of the Cai family, a big family in Manila..."

Humph!

Zhu Di hummed slightly, "It's not surprising that these immigrant elites, most of their extravagant enjoyments come from the common people who are also immigrants. Our rural village employment system has greatly harmed their interests. Relying on Liang Daoming's Aren’t the large immigrants from the Central Plains very hostile to us?”

"It just so happens that when we rule Luzon and assimilate Luzon, we must cleanse the Luzon elite..."

In this era where knowledge is only in the hands of a few.

The original customs and civilization of an ethnic group are all controlled by the elite.

Cleaning out the elite of an ethnic group is tantamount to a cultural fault.

Just like the war in the late Tang Dynasty and the demise of aristocratic families, the civilization of the Central Plains actually also suffered some slight faults in the demise of aristocratic families.

In the past, scholars from aristocratic families advocated the six arts of a gentleman.

Archery and horse riding are also quite impressive.

The elite at that time were truly both civil and military.

But since the aristocratic family was destroyed and the gentry and landlord class emerged, scholars have become more focused on reading.

There are very few scholars who can truly lead troops on horseback.

This is actually a cultural gap.

"If we only kill the Luzon elites, the people of Luzon may have objections to us. If we eradicate the Central Plains emigrant elites as well, will it give people a sense of fairness?"

Mao Xiang looked at the sneer on Zhu Di's lips.

I secretly feel sorry for those idiots.

Originally, they could have become the builders and people in power in the prince's new dynasty.

But now, their actions have decided their fate.

The prince is a man who does great things.

I won't stop for a few people.

The prince will abandon those who should be abandoned, even if they are immigrants from the Central Plains.

"These people are really stupid!"

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "They are not stupid. They are not only hostile to our rural village communities and the employee-share system, but they also want to take advantage of this opportunity to develop military power. With military power and their wealth, they can conquer Lu Song Dynasty has a more prominent position, but they believe that we will definitely fail and will not succeed in seizing power in Luzon! "

The emigrant elite from the Central Plains.

Use the Central Plains to pursue their own interests.

There are many future generations as well.

"Okay, you take Liu Sheng and others and set off today. Liu Sheng will command the Fifth Mixed Association. Let Liu Sheng get familiar with the generals of the Fifth Mixed Association as soon as possible."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, Mao Xiang asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Hu Weiyong is also on the southern patrol team. Do you want to..."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"The time is not right." Zhu Di shook his head.

Hu Weiyong dared to come because he was determined that he would not take action in such a big matter as his father's southern tour.

"This time, it is an exchange between our two regimes, the Yan Fan and the Ming Dynasty. It is a major matter related to the two forces. Hu Weiyong and I are involved in a small matter of personal enmity. Don't lose the big because of the small."

Compared to killing a Hu Weiyong.

It is more important for the navy and army to attack Luzon with thunderous force and destroy Luzon beautifully.

As long as this battle is fought beautifully.

Only by giving a blow to the enemies of the DPRK and China can he gain more benefits for Yan Fan during negotiations!

"While my father is still alive, I don't want to cause any more trouble for him. We Yan Fan and Ming Dynasty will inevitably have conflicts in the future, and there will be many opportunities to deal with Hu Weiyong."

It seems that the eldest brother will definitely use Hu Weiyong in the future.

Otherwise, Hu Weiyong would not have been brought along on the southern tour.

In this case, let’s calculate the general ledger in the future.

His father was really kind to him.

Let’s not talk about Fujian’s annual taxes.

He wanted to show his fangs to Ming Dynasty, and his father acquiesced.

You know, my father is the monarch of the Ming Dynasty!

This time, the father's father's love clearly outweighed his responsibilities and obligations as a monarch.

Therefore, he didn't want to cause any more unpleasantness while his father was still alive.

…

After Mao Xiang understood Zhu Di's intentions, he took the order and left in a hurry.

Mao Xiang had just left not long ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and others came together.

"Fourth, is Mao Xiang here? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Tang He asked with a cheerful smile as he followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the study.

Zhu Di hurriedly stood up and greeted him, "Second uncle, Mao Xiang is here to deliver news about Luzon. Liu Sheng needs to get familiar with the Fifth Mixed Association as soon as possible. I asked Mao Xiang to take Liu Sheng back to Dongfan first."

During this southern tour, Taishan failed to come, and was left in the court by his father to assist Mr. Bowen and the heroes.

If it were not for these two gods to assist the heroes, they would guard the Ming Dynasty.

My father did not dare to lead his courtiers and went directly to sea.

You know, it will take two months to go to Dongfan this time to watch Yan Fan destroy Lu Song.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the desk and sat down.

Tang He and Zhu Di came to the side and sat down.

After the maid served the tea and left, Tang He took a sip from the tea cup, looked at Zhu Di, and said with emotion: "Fourth brother, before I came to Fujian, I just thought that Fujian was affluent at best, just like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but after coming here , only to realize that Fujian and the rest of our Ming Dynasty are two different worlds!"

The impact is too great!

What a shock!

The prosperity in Fujian is different from the prosperity in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Even Jiangsu and Zhejiang still ranked first in the imperial taxation province.

But the feeling that Jiangsu and Zhejiang gave him was nothing more than affluence, no different from other places in the Ming Dynasty.

But Fujian is different.

After coming to Fujian, I felt like I had entered a strange world.

Every county is expanding its county schools.

There are too many children studying!

Without expansion, we cannot satisfy people’s desire to send their children to school.

At the same time, the county government was very motivated because it could earn small treasury wealth from the county school.

In the villages and forests, there were patches of persimmon trees, mulberry trees, jujube trees, and oak trees...

On the roads, there were endless carriages.

He asked Ye Mao.

In Fujian, there were 300,000 registered carriages for transportation!

This did not include the carriages, ox carts, and donkey carts in Fujian rural areas.

Fujian has a population of three million.

On average, there is one transportation tool for every ten people!

Imagine, once the war is needed, how many carriages can be assembled in a short time with a transfer order from the court?

If the entire Ming Dynasty could reach an average of one animal-powered transportation tool for ten people, it would be exciting to think about it.

...

And the comparison villages set up by the fourth brother.

It's shocking!

The people lost their shares, and they couldn't leave the village even if they had grievances.

Many people had their legs broken by the gentry, and their wives and children were sold to brothels. The people with broken legs were like wild dogs, struggling to survive miserably.

He still remembers it.

One of the people with broken legs, when facing Lao Si, was so angry that he openly confronted Lao Si and asked him: "Why don't you come to save them!"

He even spat on Lao Si's face in anger.

He accused Lao Si of being hypocritical.

At that time, His Majesty was furious, but the fourth brother just wiped the spit off his face calmly, and in front of the village, a group of people who looked like zombies, with dull eyes and numb expressions, he calmly said: "At the beginning, when the rural village community was promoted, many problems occurred. Some of you individuals originally had the best life in the village and thought that it was disadvantageous to work in partnership with others. Later, this part regretted it. When they wanted to join again, they could no longer get the same shares as other villagers. This is a lesson!"

...

"And you are another lesson. At the beginning, when the court promoted the rural village community, it clearly prohibited the gentry from joining. It was you who were greedy for small benefits and secretly accepted the gentry's shares behind the court. Later, the gentry gave you small favors, and you were happy to give up the dividend rights set by the court.

"I did know your situation a long time ago. The reason why I didn't intervene was that I wanted to use your real lessons and the heads of thousands of gentry to sound a warning to everyone in the Ming Dynasty! "

At that time, the whole village, men, women, young and old, listened to Silang's words.

The hatred in their eyes disappeared.

In the numbness, a little life gradually appeared.

Then, everyone cried loudly.

This time, under the advice of the fourth brother and the support of His Majesty.

Ye Mao quickly closed the net.

Fujian Province.

More than 8,000 heads fell.

Many gentry families, babies in swaddling clothes were not spared.

Someone pleaded for mercy.

The fourth brother said directly, "This is to set rules, there is a precedent to follow, in the future, any gentry who intervenes in the local villages can follow the Fujian precedent! "

This statement received the full support of His Majesty!

Of course, this move also made the officials of the gentry in the court hate Silang even more.

His Majesty has ordered people to collect more than 8,000 heads, saltpeter them, and confiscate them throughout the country.

At the same time, gather those people who have lost the ability to take care of themselves.

Next, the court will support them.

And their role in eating the imperial grain is to follow the people sent by the court to go to the local villages and communities in various provinces, prefectures, counties, and counties to preach the mistakes they have made.

At the same time, Lao Si also suggested that what happened in Fujian be compiled into operas, miscellaneous songs, and novels by storytellers and spread throughout the world.

I believe that there is a bloody case in Fujian.

In the next 20 years.

The gentry dare not touch the local villages.

Twenty years later.

The people are rich.

The children of the people can also read and write.

The possibility of being bewitched is very small.

Use more than a dozen villages, thousands of people, and more than 8,000 heads of the gentry's Yi people to develop and expand the local villages. Stable, and fought for twenty years.

‘The fourth son is more suitable to be the master of the Ming Dynasty! ’

Tang He looked at Zhu Di and couldn’t help but sigh secretly.

Many people are hostile to the fourth son, which makes them unable to see the value shown by the fourth son.

Perhaps, some people see it, but are unwilling to admit it.

In the long run.

What should the Ming Dynasty do!

Hostility to the fourth son, excluding the fourth son from exerting influence in the Ming Dynasty, and even more worried about the fourth son becoming the master of the Ming Dynasty, this is nothing.

But we should face up to and attach importance to the value shown by the fourth son’s ideas.

But now, many people don’t really care who will be the emperor.

But those people just reject and hostile to the value shown by the fourth son’s ideas.

In the long run.

The more the Ming Dynasty catches up, the bigger the gap will be, and the more it will fall behind!

The fourth son was bound by his hands and feet in building Fujian, and had various concerns. Fujian was still like this.

What about Dongfan, where the fourth son could fully exert his hands and feet?

Tang He gathered his thoughts and asked with a smile: "Fourth son, where is your Dongfan? Is it more shocking than Fujian? "

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Di with a smile.

He believed that everyone who visited Fujian probably had similar questions to Tang He.

Zhu Di smiled, "Second Uncle, when you get there, please take a good look."

"Okay! Second Uncle, when the time comes, you must open your eyes wide and take a careful look!" Tang He smiled and ended the topic.

But he was getting more and more impatient.

Zhu Yuanzhang then spoke, "What is the situation in Luzon?"

"Mao Xiang sent a message that the Luzon Dynasty has assembled about 180,000 to 190,000 troops..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He raised their eyebrows.

That's a lot of troops!

It was almost double the 100,000 that Zhu Di introduced to them before!

Zhu Di stood up while telling the story and handed the letter from Mao Xiang to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he deliberately smiled and asked: "Now that Luzon's military strength has doubled, there will be another Chen Dynasty that will interfere with your armed annexation of Luzon. Are you sure?"

If this news were known to some people, they would probably secretly dance with joy again.

"Father, just watch." Zhu Di replied with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared and put down the letter.

From this letter, he discovered that there must be an organization similar to the Jinyiwei under the fourth man.

Mao Xiang followed Lao Si. It was not surprising that Lao Si had such a secret organization.

I am afraid that Chang Mao’s death was caused by this organization.

After being able to kill people in the Ming Dynasty and retreat without a sound, he seemed to be stronger than the Jin Yiwei.

However, he was not going to ask about it.

He believed that Lao Si would not send spies to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject, "I have already drafted the imperial edict to designate Fujian as a direct-controlled area of ​​the imperial court. From now on, the chief envoy of Fujian will be the second rank in rank, which is equivalent to the current minister. Of course, after being promoted to prime minister, Both the minister and the prime minister have been promoted to the first rank..."

Zhu Di listened carefully.

Even if it increases in the future.

The ministers and prime ministers are all from the first rank.

The second rank of the Fujian Chief Envoy is also very popular.

You know, there are so many official positions in Ming Dynasty.

But there are only a few people in the second grade.

…

After a short rest for three days.

Zhu Yuanzhang drove to Min'an Town to prepare to go to sea.

Min'an Town Pier.

Crowds of people.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the pier to welcome the holy driver.

"Is this the big ship built by Yanwang Jilongyu Shipyard?"

"Yes, I heard that the specifications of this large ship are the same as the largest flagship in King Yan's naval fleet."

…

The people were waiting and looking curiously at the three huge ships lying across the Min River.

One of them was Zhu Di's giant ship equipped with artillery.

The other two ships were ordered by Jilongyu Shipyard from maritime merchants.

But now he was requisitioned by Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty is here!"

While the people were talking in surprise, someone suddenly shouted from behind.

The people turned their heads one after another.

A mighty team appeared in sight.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The people knelt down and worshiped, shouting long live the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised the curtain, looked at the people outside, nodded, and whispered to Ma Xiuying, "Sending the fourth child to Fujian was probably the most correct thing we did."

…

Zhu Yuanzhang made a brief appearance at the dock.

Address the welcoming people.

It affirmed Fujian's construction achievements.

He also expressed his position in public that the Fujian model will be retained forever and will not be shaken by any future monarch!

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

…

After this statement came out, the people suddenly became excited, and hundreds of thousands of people shouted long live.

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong, a group of people who were hostile to Zhu Di, looked very ugly when they saw this scene.

The emperor determined that the Fujian model would be retained forever and established Fujian as Binhai Zhili, but he did not say hello to anyone!

No!

Zhu Silang should know?

Where is the prince?

Everyone looked at Zhu Biao secretly.

At the same time, the support of Fujian people for the Fujian model is also very uncomfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care if others were unhappy.

Anyway, he was happy.

Under the leadership of Zhu Di, boarded the giant ship.

Zhu Di introduced as he walked: "Father, this was originally an order from a maritime merchant. I requisitioned one of the ships. After returning to Dongfang, I asked the shipyard to seize the time to renovate the cabin and make the living environment more comfortable. This seagoing ship, I will give it to my father and mother..."

Although this sea-going ship was far from being a special ship with the level of comfort he envisioned.

But it is definitely the most suitable ship for living and sailing in this era.

My father and mother are both old.

The journey south to Luzon is not that close.

With such a big boat, there is no problem with safety and it is also more comfortable.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Di with smiles, and then looked at each other. They both knew that this was Zhu Di's filial piety.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Take your father to visit."

Everyone was immediately curious and followed Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang into the cabin.

level one.

Three people can walk side by side. In the painted corridor, oil lamps are lit, illuminating the corridor.

The aisle is adjacent to the port side of the ship.

And the light coming in from the outside window.

On the right side of the corridor are divided rooms. Zhu Di opened a door as he walked, and everyone looked inside curiously.

Zhu Di introduced: "In order to keep the hull balanced in the sea, the first-floor rooms are on the right side, the second-floor rooms are on the left side, and in addition to the power cabin and leak-proof compartment, some rooms are also designed on the third floor, but they are relatively narrow. Not comfortable. ”

…

During the introduction, Zhu Di brought Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying to the bow of the ship, opened the door, and a space of about seventy or eighty square meters appeared in front of everyone.

Except for Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi and other members of the royal family.

The other courtiers stopped at the door.

Anyone knows.

This is a room designed for Your Majesty and Your Majesty.

"Father, this cabin is designed with a washroom area, a rest area, and an independent office area outside. The three spaces are connected to each other and independent. There is also such a cabin on the second floor, which I prepared for my eldest brother and sister-in-law."

In front of the whole family, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the armchair behind the desk and tried it. He smiled happily and said: "Your filial father and mother have accepted your filial piety. You have returned to the boatman trained by our Ming Dynasty. In a short time , They don’t have the ability to build such a large ship. From now on, this ship will be the exclusive ship for the imperial court to visit your Yan Fan. When Xiongying and the others arrive, they will take this ship! "

"Grandfather."

Xiao Qihua was like an oriole, and her cheerful voice sounded: "This ship is not the best. Our Jilongyu Shipyard is developing a special ship that is more comfortable and suitable for riding. When it is developed, Qihua sends a boat to the emperor’s grandfather!”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed and joked: "Such a ship is not cheap. I heard it costs 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver!"

It is said that a flagship like Laosi costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to equip with artillery.

This ship is not equipped with artillery, so why does it cost 50,000 to 60,000?

The Ming Dynasty cannot yet build such a giant ship.

The craftsmen have learned it.

But after the craftsman returned to the court, Biao'er immediately asked.

The craftsmen bluntly said that to build such a giant ship, it would not be enough for them to learn how to build such a giant ship. They would need at least thousands of skilled craftsmen.

And the wood that has been dried in the shade for three or four years is suitable for building such a large ship.

Not to mention training thousands of skilled workers.

It was wood that had been dried in the shade for three or four years. If the imperial court wanted to build such a giant ship, it would have to wait at least three or four years.

Buy from Laosi?

The craftsman also said that Dongfan reserves wood every year. There is wood, but Dongfan's shipbuilding demand is higher.

At that time, he rejected the proposal to purchase timber from Dongfan.

The imperial court can first build warships equipped with more than a dozen or more than twenty cannons.

The fourth child is above the four seas.

Trade and naval warfare require large ships.

"Do you have that much money?"

Zhu Xi hugged little Qihua and pinched her little face, "Don't dare to make a wish blindly, your imperial grandfather will really take it seriously."

Xiao Qihua said unconvinced: "Second uncle, I didn't make a wish blindly. I have saved all the money given to me by my grandfather, my father and my mother. When the time comes, I will use my own money to make a reservation for my grandfather." A more comfortable ship.”

"Okay, Grandfather Emperor is waiting for the big ship that Xiao Qihua will send to Grandfather Emperor!"

Ha ha……

Everyone laughed heartily.

For a time, all the unhappiness of the family seemed to be gone.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Xiao Qihua.

He didn't believe that Zhu Qihua could really give the imperial grandfather a better ship than this one.

This kind of giant ship is probably the biggest and best, right?

Is it possible?

Can Dongfan continue to develop?

There are always bottlenecks, right?

This was not what he thought of, it was his grandfather's follower, Hu Weiyong, who said it.

…

Later, Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun and Jin Douzi, who had not yet been weaned, returned to the flagship.

Qihua and Yongming were left by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Baiguan went to another cargo ship that had not been modified.

Zhu Cang, Lan Yu, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Neng, all the civil, military, and princes who were good friends with Zhu Di, all threw their families on Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial ship and ran to Zhu Di's flagship.

There are 20,000 forbidden troops and 15,000 stay in Min County.

Five thousand people boarded the merchant ships.

On the flagship.

Zhu Di looked at the people who were going out to sea, all boarding the ship one after another, turned to look at Yu Jing, and ordered: "Blow the trumpet and set off."

Woo woo woo...

Then the trumpet sounded.

Inside the flagship power cabin.

The oxen began to pull the turntable around.

Wow!

The flagship split the waves and started first.

In the middle of the fleet.

Zhu Yuanzhang controls the ship.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others stood on the deck, feeling their feet swaying, and their bodies swaying. At the same time, the bow of the ship split the water, and scattered water splashed into everyone's faces.

Everyone lowered their heads subconsciously.

The sharp arc-shaped bow cuts through the water waves, and it goes down the river faster and faster.

…

Until half an hour later.

Suddenly drove out of the Minjiang waterway.

Rushing in, you can see the boundless blue sea as far as the eye can see.

Everyone who came from the southern tour was shocked.

Many of them, given their status, have certainly seen the sea.

But they had never stood on such a huge warship, looking at the endless blue sea.

Be more directly in it.

Driving towards the vast and unknown depths.

The ups and downs underfoot and the depth of the sea can't help but make people feel a little afraid of the depths of the sea.

‘Is this how Zhu Silang is, galloping fearlessly in this awe-inspiring sea? It would be great if Zhu Silang accidentally encountered a shipwreck. Everyone would be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Why is God so blind! ’

At this moment, many people suddenly had this idea.

…

Cai Lu stood next to Ma Xiuying.

Now, as her maid, she follows her and is familiar with everything in the palace.

At the same time, the empress taught her step by step.

Seeing that Ma Xiuying's face was slightly pale, she whispered: "Madam, if you feel uncomfortable and seasick, please tell Cai Lu. Dongfan Langzhong specially prepared herbal medicine for seasickness, which can effectively alleviate seasickness."

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying turned around, raised her hand to rub the top of the little girl's hair, and said with a smile: "Okay, whenever I feel uncomfortable, just tell Cai Lu."

Both she and Chongba particularly liked this granddaughter-in-law.

Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and the harem concubines watched Ma Xiuying and Cai Lu talking from the corner of their eyes.

Zhu Biao frowned slightly.

To be honest, he was a little resistant to this daughter-in-law.

It's not that he is a fourth-year student.

It's really picking green and can't give Xiongying any help.

This does not meet the requirements of being the mother of the country.

Moreover, the other party, like Xiongying, followed Lao Si and Miaoyun to learn and learned a lot of new ideas.

This new thinking is exactly what many elites in the Ming Dynasty dislike the most.

If it weren't for Xiongying's insistence.

His father and mother loved this girl because of Lao Si.

And Lao Si was involved.

He was worried that if he insisted on opposing, it would give people the impression that he disliked Cai Lu because of Lao Si.

He would definitely oppose this marriage.

It seems that he can only choose a concubine for Xiongying that will help him.

Now Xiongying doesn't understand.

When Xiongying becomes the emperor, he will understand his good intentions.

Wow!

A voice came from behind.

It interrupted Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Everyone turned around and saw three huge sails slowly rising.

As the helmsman adjusted the sails.

The next second, everyone's body shook violently.

The huge ship accelerated instantly.

The curved and sharp bow split the waves more violently.

…

Zhu Chong, Zhu Yu and other princes, holding the guardrail, stood at the bow, shocked by the sea and the speed of the warships cutting through the waves.

“Fourth brother, it’s so shocking!”

“Fourth brother, is this what it feels like to sail on the sea?”

…

Lan Yu stood on the other side of Zhu Di, looking at a group of princes, his face flushed with excitement, and his eyes looked at Zhu Di who was talking to Zhu Chong and others.

The sea culture is different from the land culture.

He has already felt it in the generals under Zhu Laosi.

Although Zhu Laosi’s subordinates are also a group of people from the Central Plains.

But if you look closely, you will find that.
