My Daming New Empire

It's just a pity that the social model of the East limited this kind of development, and even went backwards in the end.

Thank you Shan Qingying, the rewards from others, you are all old friends of Lao Yao, thank you for your support all the time

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The fiery red sunset is like a plate of red color, smearing a layer of ambiguous red between the sky and the sea.

Sprinkled on the surface of the sea, it forms a piece of ever-changing scale-like gold foil, exuding a charming light.

Flocks of seabirds pass by from time to time, leaving a string of melodious chirping sounds.

Zhu Zhanji stood on the deck with both feet steady, looking at the charming scenery in front of him, lost in memory.

Although time and space have spanned 600 years, such beautiful scenery is eternal. There is almost no difference between 600 years ago and 600 years later.

Zheng He and a group of other naval generals looked at Zhu Zhanji who was walking on the ground on the ship with some surprise, and compared them with Yiqing who was lying on the side of the fence and tied with ropes, forming a sharp contrast.

The typhoon season is over, but the waves in November are still not so gentle. People like Yiqingzi and Yang Zhangde, it seems that it is common for people like Yiqingzi and Yang Zhangde to vomit when they get on the boat.

Li Liang, who has always been loyal and never leaves Zhu Zhanji's side, can't even stand up now.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to be affected in any way, his body quickly found the rhythm on the boat and formed a resonance with Juzhou.

There is always an adaptation period for most people on board.Even if you don't get seasick, on a swaying ship, unlike on flat land, there are always some unaccustomed and unstable.

But Zhu Zhanji seems to be a sailor who grew up on a sea ship without any discomfort.

Whether it is Zheng He or other generals, looking at the tall and straight Zhu Zhanji, there is an illusion that he was born in the sea and grew up in the sea.

But it was obviously impossible. Since His Royal Highness was five years old, he had only left the capital once.

Although I have been on a boat, it is only in a calm canal, which is completely different from being in the sea.

Seeing that most of the warships disappeared from view at once, there were only more than 20 warships left next to the flagship.Zhu Zhanji turned around and asked: "Huang Shoubei, the order ship is small, how will the guards solve the dinner problem?"

Huang Shoubei is Huang Fu's eldest son, Huang Yuan. This man has outstanding abilities, is well-organized, and good at coordination. He was promoted by Liu Jiang to the post of garrison, which is equivalent to serving as his assistant at the Navy Headquarters.

This time he went to sea, because he was familiar with the navies of all ministries, he was responsible for assisting Zhu Zhanji.

There are special kitchens and fire isolation devices on large sea ships, but the order ship is a fast boat. In order to pursue speed, the hull is small and there is no place for cooking.

When the army was gathered together, they could still get food and drink from the big ship. Now when they dispersed, they could only live on dry food.

Huang Yuan smiled and said: "Each ship provides enough food and clean water for more than 30 soldiers for a week, and they will not be separated for more than two days, Your Highness does not need to worry about them.

Zhu Zhan basically wanted to see the eating conditions of the soldiers on the ship, but after thinking about it, he still didn't go.

The conditions on the ship are harsh, and people in this era don't pay much attention to food. I'm afraid the big pot of rice on the ship will not be delicious.There are more than 1000 people on a ship, and it is already rare to be able to cook meals.

He didn't need to worry, because there were dozens of people who just boarded the boat with him and waited on him.These eunuchs served him on weekdays and knew his tastes and hobbies. No matter what time it was, his quality of life would not decline.

In addition to these close waiters, most of the more than 20 ships gathered around him are also his guard ships.For this expedition, he dispatched three guard towns of Habayashi Guard, a total of 3000 people.

In addition, the Xinjiangkou Navy has specially transferred 3000 people to protect him. It can be said that there is no need to worry about his safety.

The sun gradually sank below sea level, and the sky soon became completely dark.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji decided to go back to his bedroom to eat and rest.

Everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.Zhu Zhanji boarded the boat today like a curious baby. He wanted to look everywhere and asked many professional questions. They could only follow behind and explain one by one without daring to be sloppy.

Now that Zhu Zhanji has returned to the cabin, they can relax.

Although the conditions at sea are difficult, it is not as difficult as Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of Zhu Zhanji.The waiters also cooked nine dishes for him, and a small jug of wine.

Zhu Zhanji left Zheng He, captain Shi Guorui, and Huang Yuan to eat together.As for his group of bodyguards, except for Xuan Zhen who was better, everyone else was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't get up.

Two days later, the fleet arrived at Dinghai County off the coast of Ningbo, which is also the Zhoushan Islands in later generations. Zhu Zhanji will use this as his headquarters to set up an encirclement circle against Japanese pirates.

In the past two days, the three major fleets have been fully deployed, and the second fleet has deployed defense lines along Jeju Island to Shandong.

More than 160 warships of the First Fleet set up a line of defense along Lianyungang to the Zhoushan Islands.

The Third Fleet deployed a line of defense from Zhoushan Island to Ryukyu.

In addition to these warships, there are more than fifty messenger speedboats, which send orders between the entire defense line, and can quickly form an encirclement circle if Japanese pirates are found anywhere.

This time, killing the enemy is not the purpose, the main purpose is for the Izumo country, the ship of the Kyogoku family.

Only by capturing Kyogoku's position and attacking the Kyogoku family of Izumo Kingdom can he become famous.

Of course, the value of others will not be lower.For example, Hosokawa is full of staff, but that is the leader of Ashikaga Yoshichi, equivalent to the prime minister of a country, the prime minister.

If he can be caught, his value will be much higher than that of Kyogoku.

But this possibility is almost non-existent, because although his name was used for the gathering of Japanese pirates this time, it is impossible for him to personally take risks.

These people in the shogunate are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and they are not weaker than the Chinese in terms of tricks and tricks.

On the island and on land, Yang Zhangde and the others seemed to have returned to their souls.

They're pretty good, and they're getting used to it.The poor guy Li Liang started to vomit after he got on the boat. He didn't eat anything for two days. He vomited whatever he ate and lost several pounds.

When he disembarked, two young eunuchs helped him down, and he couldn't even walk.

Bao Yun, the magistrate of Dinghai County, and Zhoushan Shuizhai had already received the order to vacate the sea view courtyard at the foot of Mount Putuo, a rich businessman in Dinghai, as the place where Zhu Zhanji stayed.

This courtyard is not far from the gate of Mount Putuo, surrounded by the mountains and the sea, with fine sandy beaches and beautiful mountain views.

It is a pity that it is winter at this time. If you come here in summer, it will have a different flavor.

After spending three days in Mount Putuo, Zhu Zhanji felt relaxed, but all the generals were paying close attention to the weather and information outside.

On the evening of the third day, a messenger ship from Jeju Island brought intelligence from Jin Yiwei's spies and the Second Fleet.

After the Japanese pirates assembled on Tsushima Island, led by the leader of the Japanese pirates, Hayata Zaemon Tairo, they assembled more than 40 thousand stone ships and more than 60 closed ships.

They first attacked the coasts of Beiren, Chungcheong Province (now Shuchuan County, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea) and Haeju, Hwanghae Province (now Haeju, South Hwanghae Province, North Korea) in the eight provinces of North Korea.

After North Korea looted a large amount of food, they were resolutely resisted by the North Korean general Li Congmao. They lost two ships and about 300 Japanese pirates and then retreated to Jeju Island to gather.

In Jeju Island, they took about [-] ponies and brought them back to ships full of food and horses.Then the spare ships left behind on Tsushima Island were brought in again, ready to go to the coast of Daming.

They didn't dare to come to Ningbo, and the main target was placed in Jiaodong and Liaodong.

Jingji Chigang was influenced by Jinyiwei's spies in North Korea, so he didn't rush to the forefront, and reserved his strength to go to Daming to plunder.

But he didn't know that the information of the spies was quickly spread through the personnel who stayed on the island.
