My Daming New Empire

And during the more than a year in Dongzhou, in addition to concentrating on cultivating rubber trees and cinchona trees, I also taught the local people more skills.

This also makes Hou Xian a god in the minds of South American Indians.

Viracocha and the others regarded Houxian as a god, but now, the god in their hearts worshiped in front of others.

The salute sounded, and the seven-gun salute was the highest etiquette for the king to welcome his heroes.

During the two years of contact with the Ming people, the Indians have more or less understood some of the strength of Ming.

They no longer regard the sound of muskets and cannons as the anger of the gods, but at such a solemn and solemn moment, they still feel uneasy when they suddenly hear the sound of cannons.

Then, on the pier, a band composed of hundreds of drummers, gong players, and suona players began to play. The majestic music sounded, and many Indians were fascinated.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji got off the car, and everyone knelt down in front of Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, including those Indians who were still dazzled.

After three prostrations and nine kowtows, Zhu Di personally stepped forward to help Hou Xian, and Zhu Zhanji stepped forward to help Yi Xin.

The two of them have been there for three years, and they have successfully completed the tasks assigned by Zhu Zhanji, and they have overfulfilled.Now that these [-] Indians have been brought back, almost all the indigenous tribes in the Americas have been wiped out.

These people came to Daming and came into contact with the advanced civilization of Daming. After returning, they will naturally learn from Daming.

At that time, sending officials to teach them will get twice the result with half the effort.

Hou Xian was a minister, and after seeing the ceremony, he followed Zhu Di's side, while Yi Xin was a general, so he could only stay with his subordinates at this time.

Today Zhu Di let go of the emperor's airs, and greeted a group of generals one by one like an ordinary old man, and from time to time he patted the arms of the soldiers with a smile and gave a few words of encouragement.

Yesterday evening, the fleet had already arrived at the Xinjiangkou Water Village, and only entered the city this morning.

When they arrived at Xinjiangkou Shuizhai, they got the news that the emperor had already issued an edict of abdication, and the speaker Jian Yi had already received it.

However, His Royal Highness Taisun issued an imperial edict, which has not yet been agreed.

But all are relieved that this has represented a smooth transition of power.

No matter in what era, abdication will not be smooth sailing.

The handover of the throne means the change of power.Not only the change of the throne, but also the change of old and new forces.

This kind of collision between old and new forces is the most dangerous.

However, between Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, there is an advantage that has not been seen in all dynasties, and that is Zhu Di's western expedition.

Zhu Di's expedition to the west was not only a military operation, the three-year expedition to the west gave Zhu Zhanji enough time to firmly control the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji has already controlled the imperial court, and the army is now listening to him. After Zhu Di came back, he could not find his own position. This is the main reason for the abdication.

In such an environment, there will be no change of old and new forces, and there will be less internal friction.

Therefore, they have been very concerned about Zhu Di's mood today, wondering if this mighty emperor really abdicated.

Seeing that Zhu Di was in a good mood now, their hearts were all relieved.

Although His Highness Taisun resigned from the throne, but there are only three things, and when the third time comes, His Highness will definitely become a great treasure.

As Zhu Zhanji's direct descendant, Yi Xin was naturally very happy at this time.

Behind the crowd, Yang Dao's mood also calmed down a lot.

As soon as he arrived in Xinjiangkou yesterday, his father Yang Shiqi sent someone to contact him.

Naturally, he is much clearer than Yang Dao about the situation of the imperial court and the characters of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di.

Although Zhu Di's abdication after his return shocked him at first, he quickly figured out the link.

Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanji to supervise the country, and Zhu Zhanji was so good that he took everyone for his own use.

After Zhu Di came back, due to the great changes in Tianfu and the eccentricity of the officials, on the one hand, he felt that he almost didn't know this country anymore, and on the other hand, he couldn't find his place.

If he was ten years younger, he would definitely not accept being ostracized. He would win over the middle forces, suppress the forces belonging to the grandson, and regain power.

But he was old, he had no ambitions, and he didn't want to create a gap between his grandparents and grandchildren, so he accepted all this and offered to give way.

He already knew what Yang Dao did. Although something went wrong during the execution of the mission, that kind of natural disaster is beyond the control range.

On the contrary, his son was able to be promoted to the position of fleet leader by his colleagues when he was just a fledgling, which fully proved his son's ability.

Sailing tens of thousands of miles along the east-west line of Dongzhou, not only drew a map of the continent, but also drew a chart of the sea, and ascertained the environment of the coastal zone, which is a great achievement.

If his analysis is correct, his son will be judged as more meritorious than demerits this time, and maybe the position of this temporary fleet commander will become really bad.

There is of course his reason for this.He always believed that he was unlucky. If the crown prince could succeed, he would not be able to get a position as a cabinet scholar.

With the position of a cabinet bachelor, it is easy to find a position as a chief officer in the future.

But the prince died young, and everything became empty.Although he is now awarded the official Guozijian to sacrifice wine, he has been excluded from the center of power by the grandson.

Progressed the cabinet and everything is empty.What's more, the current Guozijian doesn't seem to be important in Taisun's heart.

In order to compensate his father and son, since he was excluded, his son must be reused.

A commander of a steam sailing fleet under the age of 25, this is a position that many marquises want to compete for!

Moreover, there are no major battles to be fought around the Ming Dynasty, but Dongzhou and Nanzhou need to be developed. The position of a fleet commander is far more important than that of an army commander, and it is easier to make contributions.

Thinking of the dispute between Yang Dao and himself at the beginning, he had to admit that although this son lacked some spirituality, he had a steady mind, a broad heart, better luck than himself, and stronger vision than himself.

After receiving his father's detailed explanation, Yang Dao felt relieved, but when he thought of the more than 1000 soldiers who died at the bottom of the sea, even if he knew that he had been promoted, he couldn't be happy.

When Zhu Di passed in front of Yang Dao, he didn't pay attention to the young man in Qian Zong's costume standing behind, but Zhu Zhanji saw it.

Although 100 people were lost, Zhu Zhanji didn't care.He is very clear that today's Atlantic Ocean is still a restricted area for humans.

The fleet can successfully complete the task, and the loss does not exceed one-tenth, so he can't be too demanding.

Moreover, Yang Dao was born with a clean background, married the daughter of the Jiejia family, and now is one of the people in Daming who understands the water conditions of the Atlantic Ocean best.In the future, if Da Ming wants to open up the Atlantic shipping lanes, he will be inseparable from them, so he will only be reused.

Facing Yang Dao, he said approvingly through a commander of the Shenji Battalion: "I already know about you, and you haven't ruined my reputation as a Habayashi guard."

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Yang Dao's heart that thought he was calm suddenly twitched, and tears streamed down his face before he knelt down.

He knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said: "The minister is responsible for the entrustment of His Highness, and I only hope that I can make meritorious deeds."

The person in front of him stepped aside, and Zhu Zhanji helped him up with his own hands and said: "The world is so big, no one knows it better than you. The Atlantic Ocean is rough and the waves are high, and it was difficult to conquer at first, but now the loss is less than one. You have no merits or demerits. You can rest at home for a few days, and for those who are injured and lost, you will also transfer the compensation that you deserve to each soldier’s home.”

Although this is a hard job, as the chief general, he will suffer a series of accusations, insults, and even beatings from the family members of the deceased.However, this is the one thing Yang Dao wants to do most, so that his conscience can forgive him.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's arrangement, Yang Dao couldn't control his emotions, tears streaming down his face. "The minister will live up to the entrustment. If there is a mistake, he will die and apologize."
