Zheng He is also a time-tested general, he believes in his own judgment, and the only one who can influence his decision-making is his mentor, not the two of us, we just need to wait. ”

Yang Pingfan couldn't answer, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, raised his eyes and looked around, the sky didn't know when it was dark, the Indian Ocean was climatic in many ways, the sky was still sunny just now, and in a blink of an eye, dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and the faint thunder was rolling in, a gust of wind swept by, the bean-sized raindrops crackled and fell, and a rainstorm came unexpectedly.

The two hurried back to the cabin, but they heard a commotion from the deck, it turned out to be Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao coming out, both of them had a tense face, and they couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.

I saw Zheng He standing silently at the bow of the "Qinghe", the flagship of this fleet and the largest ship in the fleet, in front of him, the Indian Ocean was shrouded in tropical torrential rain, and a small military servant carefully stretched out an oil-paper umbrella beside him to block the wind and rain.

The dark clouds became thicker and heavier, the sky and the earth changed color, and there was a rain and fog all around, and only when the lightning broke through this haze, the fleet appeared in the cyan electric light, "Qingyuan", "Huikang", "Changning", "Anji", ...... It's like a huge reef that doesn't move around the flagship.

Many of the local chiefs had come ashore after three days of feasting on the boat, and the agitated African drums came faintly from the rain, and the figures of black men dancing wildly in the palm groves on the shore were like ghosts in the rainstorm, and they performed the war dance to see off the guests who had come from afar.

"It's time to sail back, sir. Deputy General Wang Jinghong stepped forward and whispered.

Behind Zheng He, stood the entire Voyage Command, including seven four-rank eunuchs and many generals and civil officials, and in the distance, Yang Pingfan and Su Yu.

Zheng He glanced at the teacher who was accompanying him, and then glanced at Yang Su and the others meaningfully.

"No, keep moving forward," Zheng He said.

Zheng He's voice was very soft, but the people around him were stunned as if they heard a thunderbolt explode in their ears, and in the feelings of the rest of the headquarters, the air and raindrops froze at this moment, "Forward?Where to?!"

"Go ahead and see what's ahead. ”

"What's the use of that? we have confirmed that Emperor Jianwen is not overseas, he must be dead, and we have also obtained enough treasures for the saints, carried forward the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, and even obtained the legendary divine beast Qilin, everything is over, it's time to sail back." ”

"No, if the sky is round, the sea should have an edge, there will be the end of the earth, and the fleet of the Ming Dynasty should sail there. If the immortals are right, the heavens and the earth are like chickens, and mortals are just ants on top, we keep moving forward, and we can still return to the Ming Dynasty" Zheng He's eyes looked longingly at the depths of the rain and mist, looking at the connection between the sea and the sky in his imagination.

"This is disobedience, my lord!"

"I have made up my mind, those who do not follow can go back on their own, but they can only take a maximum of ten boats. ”

Zheng He heard the sound of a sword unsheathed behind him, it was the sword of Wang Jinghong's guard, and then there was more sound of unsheathing, it was the sword of Zheng He's guard, and then everything was silent, Zheng He did not look back.

Yang Pingfan's hearing was outstanding, he knew Zheng He's choice, but he didn't make a move, but looked at everyone's expressions with interest.

As suddenly as it came, the rainstorm stopped.

The pillars of light of the sun pierced the clouds, and the golden light where the sky and water were connected, showing an irresistible mysterious temptation, and at some point, the drawn sword had been quietly unsheathed.

Zheng He glanced back at the soldiers behind him, and his eyes were firm: "Set sail!"

There was a long howl in the distance, it was Chen Zuyi's voice, he learned the news for the first time, and led the advance scout fleet to open the way first, behind him, the Ming Dynasty fleet was mighty, crashing through the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean, and sailing south along the African coastline.

Li Huamei took Ximani to find Yang Pingfan, the two were intimate, and let Yang Pingfan's brain make up some things that were inappropriate for children, Li Huamei didn't know his dirty thoughts, gave a salute, and put forward his own request.

"What? You two want a boat to be scouts? What are you kidding?"

Li Huamei didn't joke, under Yang Pingfan's subtle and Sima Ni's instigation, she has changed from a cowardly little maid to a young beautiful girl eager to break into the unknown world, which gave Yang Pingfan a headache, the reason for the headache was not Li Huamei's transformation, but wanted to ask for a boat from a group of Ming Dynasty masters for the two beautiful girls to go out to play, he couldn't open his mouth.

Later, Su Yu thought of a way, Yang Pingfan and Su Yu no longer stayed on the flagship, but moved to Chen Zuyi's scout ship, relying on the geographical knowledge accumulated in later generations, to guide Chen Zuyi in the direction of exploration, so that Li Huamei and Xi Mani could justifiably be scouts.

The fleet made its way south along the African coastline, and after battling the storm in South Africa, it managed to cross the Cape of Good Hope, and found that the coastline had turned and began to extend northward, so the fleet began to head north.

It is worth mentioning that, as Su Yu expected, the time and space of history changed, the Europeans sent an exploration fleet to the east decades in advance, according to the theory of the dark forest, Yang Pingfan and Su Yu issued a lore order, and there was also the existence of the goddess of revenge, the white exploration fleet was wiped out once and again, and one of them was thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The fleet made its way north along the west coast of Africa, and after a series of thrilling journeys, finally reached Europe, where the appearance of the huge fleet terrified the whole of Europe.

Through the relevant information left by the Yuan Dynasty, Zheng He and his party knew that they had come to the Western countries in the extreme west, and their hearts became more and more panicked and uneasy, because it meant that they were closer to the origin of the shape of heaven and earth.

But at this time, Europe was still under the rule of religious ignorance, coupled with the Batu expedition to the west, the pain and punishment brought by the "Whip of God" are still vivid, and the bishops of the Inquisition saw the yellow people coming from the sea, and without saying a word, all five messengers were treated as infidels, tied to the stake and burned.

When the news came, the whole fleet was excited: it was really unreasonable, the two countries were at war, but I didn't expect that Europe would be such a barbaric existence, and there was only one war between the East and the West!

Pope Martin V personally appealed to the feudal princes of the continent to unite against the enemy, and issued a decree of pardon for all criminals who were conscripted into the army at this time.
