Chapter 64 Intellectuals Are Not Fuel-Efficient Lamps

Originally, Chen Zuyi in history didn't expect that he was calculating others, and others were also calculating him.

Zheng He had long been wary of Chen Zuyi, because after Zheng He's fleet passed through the city, all he heard along the way were cries about Chen Zuyi's evil deeds, and Zheng He had long been determined to wipe out the king of pirates.

The pirates' anger and resentment made the whole of Southeast Asia united, and Shi Jinqing, the overseas Chinese leader in the old Hong Kong, did not know where to get Chen Zuyi's entire plan, and informed Zheng He, who immediately made preparations and deployments against the sneak attack.

When Chen Zuyi led the pirates to attack, Zheng He commanded the warships to quickly surround the enemy ships from the standby point, and burned the pirate ships with fire, and after fierce battles, killed more than 5,000 pirates, burned 10 enemy ships, and captured 7 ships, Chen Zuyi's pirate army was almost wiped out after this battle.

After that, Zheng He's navy managed to capture Chen Zuyi and his two brothers alive and imprisoned them in the ship and returned to Beijing, and Emperor Zhu Di ordered Chen Zuyi to be killed in front of envoys from various countries, and beheaded to warn others.

Shi Jinqing was rewarded by the Ming Dynasty government for exposing Chen Zuyi's conspiracy, and was named the old port to proclaim consolation, and began the Shi family's rule in the old port for more than 30 years.

"But what I'm curious about is that this should be the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He's second trip to the West to go back to the West happened, now it's been the seventh year of Yongle, it's been two years, why hasn't this person died," Su Yuyu put his hands on his cheeks, frowned, and said strangely.

Yang Pingfan said beside him, "There's nothing strange about it, this is the butterfly effect that we have through here." I just asked, when Zheng He's fleet docked here two years ago, there happened to be a typhoon, and I suspect that this typhoon caused a lot of damage to the pirates' supplies and ships, causing them to be unable to launch an attack, so it was postponed for 2 years. ”

Su Yu nodded, agreeing with this point of view. Yang Pingfan then asked, "Queen of Heaven, let me take this job, what is the trick." ”

Su Yu beckoned, asked Yang Pingfan to come over with his ear, and explained her plan.

Yang Pingfan glared, "Why do you have to be so complicated, I lurked in and either chopped them up, or directly knocked them out and captured them alive, and the Ming officials and soldiers then covered up and killed, isn't it over?"

Su Yu said that Chen Zuyi can't be killed, this person must be kept and useful. Seeing Yang Pingfan staring at her with blazing eyes, Su Yu was helpless, "Okay, it seems that you won't do it if you don't make it clear, let me ask you first, do you know Captain Drake?"

Yang Pingfan said I know this, the strait between South America and Antarctica seems to be named after this person.

Su Yu nodded, Francis Drake The famous British privateer, explorer and navigator, he was the second explorer to complete a circumnavigation of the world after Magellan, although he was later knighted by the Queen of England, but more people called him Francis Drake, the Demon King of the Sea.

Born into a poor peasant family in Devon, England, he worked his way up as an apprentice to a sailor and eventually as a merchant naval captain.

About 150 years later, in 1568 AD, Drake and his cousin John Hawkins led five slave ships to Mexico, where they were hit by a storm and asked for help from Spanish ports, but the Spaniards' deception of them nearly cost him his life, and he vowed revenge on Spain for the rest of his life.

In 1572, Drake gathered a group of men across the American continent, saw the vast Pacific Ocean for the first time, and robbed a Spanish mule team carrying gold in the jungles of South America, followed by several Spanish galleons, and finally successfully returned to England. He thus became a close confidant of the Queen.

In 1577, he sailed straight to the coast of America on the flagship "Golden Deer" to attack the Spanish fleet, and under the pursuit of Spanish warships, Drake fled south and discovered today's "Drake Passage".

Drake sailed west across the Pacific Ocean and returned to Portsmouth Harbour on September 26, 1579, the second circumnavigation after Magellan and the first navigator in history to complete the circumnavigation of the globe alive.

Upon his return, his largest shareholder, Queen Elizabeth, personally boarded his ship and received the title of "knight",

Since then, the Pacific has never been Spain's own. In 1587, the Battle of England and Spain broke out, and Drake's pirate fleet played an important role in the British defeat of the Spanish Armada, and Drake was also named Lord of England after the war, reaching the highest peak in the history of piracy.

After Su Yu finished speaking, he paused and asked, "Didn't you find that more than 150 years before Drake, there was a person in the East who had a very similar experience to him, but he failed to make Drake's deeds, why?"

Yang Pingfan shook his head.

Because the emperor of the east is the Yongle Emperor who advocates the royal way, and Drake meets Queen Elizabeth, who advocates the law of the jungle. ”

"So your plan is ......"

"Accept Chen Zuyi and let him complete Drake's career, hehe, Drake Strait, I'm quite looking forward to the emergence of a Chen Zuyi Strait. ”

"Hey, Dr. Su, your ambition is too wild. ”

"Generally, compared to other time-traveling novels that sweep the world and conquer the world at every turn, my plan is not worth mentioning, that is, I did a little thing, and I didn't take action personally, I just wanted to change the fate of a few little people, so that criminals would know their way back, atone for their sins, for the country and the people, for the benefit of the people, and play a little ......"

"Stop, Dr. Su, don't talk about it, I'll go and talk to the envoy. ”

Yang Pingfan hurriedly slipped out, Su Yu's mouth was amazing, and he even felt that the protagonist of this book should be given to Su Yu, an older woman, and he would be a supporting role.

Intellectuals are indeed not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as there is the right soil, they will make huge waves, especially a doctor of history who specializes in how to quickly establish a modern system after crossing over......

The next day, under Zheng He's arrangement, Yang Su and Shi Jinqing met, Su Yu carefully asked him about the information about the pirates, including the specific location, the number of ships, the number of people, the configuration of weapons, etc., and then worked out a plan with Yang Pingfan aimed at making Chen Zuyi sincerely attached, when Zheng He got the report, he frowned and was silent for a long time before handing the plan to Yao Guangxiao, "Master, do you think the plan of the immortal is feasible?"
