Bright Spring

On the river, huge sails towered like clouds, as if covering half of the sky, taller than Buddhist pagodas, bigger than city towers.

When it passes through the fog and its posture is displayed in front of people's eyes, it can be seen that its two ends are raised gracefully, the arc of the hull is beautiful, and the expression is calm and majestic, just like the appearance of the rising king of the empire!

The minister of the Ministry of Industry blushed with excitement and said, "She is twice as big as the Fengtian Temple! Before the shipyard was built, my colleagues argued many times because they exceeded the limit and dared not build it! After the decree is requested in writing, the construction will only begin after the sage's permission is obtained."

The other person next to him also said it well, "This treasure ship is 44 feet long, 100 meters long, 200 feet wide, has nine masts and twelve sails, and can carry a thousand soldiers. Only [-] people can't start."

"The imperial court recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build the sea-going ships. Just the ship-building blueprints they drew filled dozens of boxes and filled a whole room in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry. This ship is extremely tall, but it is exquisitely built and sturdy. Sturdy enough to withstand strong winds and waves!"

"Countless officials collected the classics of the predecessors, the gains and losses of HNA, visited strangers from all over the world, and collected all the ancient and modern techniques. The government offices and the Nanzhen Fusi have jointly created more than a hundred kinds of compass, log, and depth sounder. After going out to sea, I will use skillful techniques such as astrology and needles to guide the way, so that this feat can be done without any omission.”

"This is the culmination of sea ships of all dynasties since Yao, Shun and Yu!"

Officials from the Ministry of Households complained inappropriately, "Since the emperor ordered the construction of sea-going ships, the expenditure of the treasury has exceeded five times that of when the Hongwu Dynasty built the imperial city..."

A group of people came to the river one after another. Zheng He looked at the river and saw that the vast and broad river had been covered with boats, and the countless flags and sails were amazing.

Zheng He stood on the bank of the river with his hips akimbo, head held high, looking at the giant ship on the river for a long time, feeling so much in his chest that he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

When he looked back at the capital in the east, the pagodas, pavilions, and city towers were all frozen in the light and shadow of the rising sun, echoing the magnificent scene on the river.

All this is not due to Zheng He alone, it has the blood and sweat of hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and servants, and the hard work of many officials and capable people; there are [-] soldiers, civil servants, eunuchs, and merchants in the journey that is about to start... But , Zheng He knew that from this moment on, his name would definitely be written into the history, and would be passed down for thousands of years.

The eunuch Hou Xian next to him was also very trusted by the emperor, but in the end Zheng He got the title of "envoy" in charge of this matter.Zheng He keenly felt that this is not a matter of power, but a rare fame!How many heroes have there been for thousands of years?The world cannot remember the names of so many people.For this feat, it would be good to make most people remember Zheng He.

So Zheng He was so excited that he couldn't even speak a word. His face was as red as a pig's liver, and his eyes were wide open.

At this moment, Zheng He suddenly felt that power, wealth and even life and death seemed not so important.

Zheng He was filled with endless gratitude to the emperor for giving him this opportunity.The feat accomplished by hundreds of millions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty gave Zheng He the most illustrious glory.

…Zheng He stood by the river for two full hours, his legs were numb, his face was blackened by the river wind, and he was still unwilling to leave.

Zheng He felt that the whole person was different at this time, a feeling of enlightenment and meridians flooded his whole body, and he thought that his vision had risen to a certain height.

He is no longer an eunuch, but a wise man.

During the long period of deep meditation, he thought a lot.

At first, when the emperor decided to make a decree to build a sea-going ship, there were many secret rumors in the court, saying that the emperor suspected that Emperor Jianwen had gone to sea, and the emperor wanted to send someone to find Jianwen.However, now that the Jianwen emperor and princes are all dead, there is still no regret or hesitation in this matter today, so Zheng He does not think that the emperor's mind is only in Jianwen.

Zheng He recalled that at the beginning of the accident in Annan, the emperor seemed to have decided to use troops against Annan, which probably had nothing to do with maintaining the etiquette of succession to the thrones of various countries... In addition to the matter of sailing, Zheng He vaguely guessed whether the emperor's ambitions or the whole Southern lands, seas!

The world is so big, is it the land of the king? The emperor wants to include all the places that can be seen by the eyes into the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and become a great emperor from ancient times to the present.

The distress of the household officials, the blood and tears of hundreds of millions of people being plundered, the earnest advice of the officials, the bones of the soldiers scattered all over the world... For such a great cause, nothing can stop the emperor's determination, and he vowed to bring the dignity of Ming Dynasty , Shining the world, thousands of years.

Zheng He finally left the riverside.In the past few days, he went to worship all the gods, Lord Buddha, Jade Emperor, Mazu, Sunni, and Christianity.

There is no room for any mistakes in this trip, and Zheng He's life alone cannot afford it; let alone his own business, he just happened to be appointed by the emperor as an envoy, there is no Zheng He, there are Hou Xian, Wang Jinghong and others... Zheng He didn't care about what he believed, after all, there were tens of thousands of people in the fleet who believed in everything.He hoped to be protected by the gods of the four directions and successfully complete the emperor's errand.

These days, the capital is paying attention to the voyage of the Deming Fleet, and the 3 people who will accompany them are also busy preparing.People carry not only cannons and blunderbusses, strong bows and crossbows, but also various products of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to communicate with people from faraway lands.Among the crowd were officials who were proficient in farming and animal husbandry, and wanted to bring back new animals and seeds.Back then, the Han Dynasty sent people to the Western Regions and got a lot of seeds, which was also something that the Ming court valued.

Everyone in the world was talking about the great Ming sea voyage, but at this moment, Chen Tianping's departure from the capital seemed a bit neglected.Click on Baidu to read the latest chapter of "Daming Chunse Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.

Chapter 298 It's Very Good

Chen Tianping arrived in Kunming in the autumn of the third year of Yongle.The general who escorted him, Huang Zhong, was Deputy General Zuo of Guangxi. He was reporting his duties in the capital this year, so he accepted the job.

Huang Zhong and Chen Tianping will stay in Yunnan Fucheng for a period of time, waiting for the Yunnan capital to transfer troops and escort Chen Tianping back to the country.Now the Chief Envoy of Yunnan Province must notify Han Wangfu and Mufu when he mobilizes troops on the ground.

So Zhu Gaoxu soon found out about the news.So Chen Tianping, Huang Zhong, and the old officials of An Nanguo were summoned in the hall of Chengyun.

Chen Tianping's smug look made Zhu Gaoxu very curious: Hu's father and son had committed regicide and usurped the throne, so they must have seized power. How could the clan of Chen Tianping regain power when they returned to Annan Kingdom?

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to ask, Chen Tianping himself stated his plan... Before the Hu family took power, in order to stay away from the power of the Chen family, they controlled the king and moved the capital to Qinghua in the south, which became the capital of Annan Kingdom; but Chen Tianping would not Going to Thanh Hoa, with the intention of going straight to Hanoi in Thang Long with the help of the Ming army, the map of the Ming court marked the succession of Jiaozhou Prefecture Dongguan County.

Zhu Gaoxu listened to his plan with great interest, and just nodded slightly without comment.

This was a strategy formulated by the Ming court, and Zhu Gaoxu certainly would not question it.

...but it certainly won't be that easy.Zhu Gaoxu pondered in his heart while listening to their discussion.

At present, the Hu family, the largest force in Annan Kingdom, must meet two conditions if he wants to become a stable king: one is to control the situation in the country, and the other is to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

Annan's regime is different from the Central Plains court.Annan has a powerful suzerain country, and it borders on land, so the recognition of the suzerain country is equally important.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu speculated rationally that the Hu family would not be willing to have an enemy with the Ming Dynasty.The Hu family should control Chen Tianping and look for opportunities to kill him, but at the same time find a way to get the recognition of the Ming court. Frequent tribute and showing obedience and loyalty are effective ways.

At present, it seems that Hu and his son wrote a letter to plead guilty and obeyed the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all going that way.

Zhu Gaoxu is full of confidence, and feels that he has a good guess about Hu's abacus...

Emperor Zhu Di must also know that Chen Tianping can't do anything.But why did the emperor still send Chen Tianping back to die?

Zhu Gaoxu guessed the inside story, the emperor must have done it on purpose.Perhaps the emperor's strategy on the Annan issue has gradually become tough, and he has the heart to advance Annan and open up territories!

However, when the Ming Dynasty waged wars, it was most particular about being famous and caring about righteousness.This campaign may still be launched in the name of helping the Annan Chen family.In the future, if Annan is defeated, it is best to find another puppet of the Chen family.

Now that Chen Tianping was sent back to An Nanguo to die by the Ming court, he had to find someone famous...

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu left the general Huang Zhong alone when he sent off the guests of An Nanguo.

In the study room to the east of the front hall of King Han's Mansion, Chen Xingwang came with the little prince.Zhu Gaoxu asked Huang Zhong to meet the little prince with his own eyes, and then listened to Chen Xingwang narrate the ins and outs.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "When this king got Chen Zhengyuan, the son of King Annan, he didn't dare to write a letter rashly because he couldn't prove his identity. This time, General Huang is going back to the court for business affairs. If he sees my father, he can report the matter."

Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "The general will follow orders."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and asked the eunuch Huang Gou to send him out.

Before Zhu Gaoxu did not submit a letter, it was because the court already had Chen Tianping, the king of Annan, as a candidate, and the unknown prince was of little significance; now he wanted to tell the emperor, but because Chen Tianping might be dying soon, the little prince became the candidate , become valuable again.

...The capital of Yunnan received an imperial edict and mobilized a guard to escort Chen Tianping.Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about the specific transfer of the capital, but only recruited the guards and general Zhao Ping; asked Zhao Ping to choose a hundred guards and soldiers, and follow General Huang Zhong to the south.

Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on a chair, facing the door of the study. He greeted Zhao Ping and said: "You don't need to go to Annan with Huang Zhong, just take Chen Xingwang with you. You only need to go to Laos. Find the temple that Chen Xingwang mentioned first. Then bring Queen Annan back to Yunnan Mansion and reunite their mother and son."

Zhao Ping held the ceremony and said: "The general understands, and obeys the order of the prince!"

Prince Annan is only four or five years old and doesn't understand anything; to prove the prince's identity, the matter still has to start with the queen.

When thinking of meeting the famous and beautiful queen soon, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Perhaps the real superiors only care about power and major gains and losses.But Zhu Gaoxu found that he couldn't completely get rid of his selfish thoughts, and was still very interested in things like seeing beauties.

……

The capital of Yunnan patched things together, and finally gathered 4000 troops, barely counting as a guard army.A group of thousands of people left Kunming City and went south to An Nanguo.
