The ruler of Guli has sent envoys to China many times to pay tribute and pay tribute to China, so in the third year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu issued an edict to the ruler of Guli, officially crowned him as the king, and gave him seals and other things. Of course, the Guli people do not necessarily use seals like the Chinese, but since they are crowned kings, they always have to do some ritual meaning.

However, after the edict was written, it was not so easy to send it over, because the old brother who had been enshrined was still in India, so Zheng He came to Guli with the edict this time, and he took the edict and officially named the local ruler as the king of Guli in the name of the Ming Emperor. Since then, the relationship between the two countries has become closer, and since then, Zheng He has traveled to the West, using this place as a transit point and foothold.

After completing this important event, Zheng He began to prepare for the return voyage, which was more than a year since he set sail, and he looked back on the various encounters in the voyage, and felt a lot of emotion, experienced so many turmoil, and finally came to this country called Guli and completed his final mission.

The abundant products, beautiful scenery, kindness and generosity of the people, friendly and warm, all of which left a deep impression on Zheng He, just leave a souvenir.

He led his subordinates and the locals to build a stele pavilion and engraved an inscription to commemorate this history, which read: "His country went to China for more than 100,000 miles, the people and things were salty, the world was the same wind, and the stone was engraved in Zizi, and it was forever known." "This is a historic milestone.

Zheng He's fleet began to sail back, and Zheng He, who was standing on the ship in the wind, looked at the Guli coast that was gradually moving away: "This is a beautiful place, we will come again." ”

Perhaps it was fateful arrangement, Zheng He would not have thought that the beautiful Guli would not only be the end of his first voyage, but also the end of his legendary life.

The first voyage was thus completed, and the fleet headed for China in a mighty way, but the heavens did not seem to want Zheng He to return to his homeland in peace, and it had prepared the last hurdle for these people who were anxious to return home, and for Zheng He and his fleet, it was a real test, a test of life and death.

Since ancient times, the main roads of transportation have never been a safe place, because many people who originally relied on the sky for food will find that it is actually more effective to eat by road, so there are road ragemasters on the land and pirates on the sea, but regardless of land or sea, their opening words and slogans are the same: "If you want to pass through this place, stay and buy road money." ”

It seems that Zheng He's fleet should not be harassed by these harassments, but this is by no means because the robbers are moved by the fleet's peaceful mission, but because of the deterrent effect of military power. Even if a robber is fierce, he must consider the cost of robbery, and it is really difficult to deal with a master like Zheng He who has tens of thousands of soldiers with muskets and cannons on aircraft carriers.

No matter how rampant the pirates in Northern Europe were, they did not dare to rob the Spanish Armada, and they had to weigh their own pounds before committing a robbery, and this principle had long been kept in mind by many shrewd robbers in ancient and modern times.

Qin Shi Huang came to this generation, he assumed the name Chen Zuyi, because of the war he hid in the South Seas, turned into a big pirate, he was about to start the biggest robbery of his life.

In the Yuan Dynasty, he assumed the pseudonym Cheng Kun and was almost blinded by the Golden Lion King, but he had a body that did not age, and his eyes recovered soon after. Because of the war, he fled overseas, and later fled to the state of Bolin in Srivijaya, where he became a general under King Mana Witchi.

After the death of the king, he gathered a group of pirates and set himself up as the king, so Chen Zuyi became the king of the Bolin state. Chen Zuyi had soldiers, so he often committed robberies near the Strait of Malacca, his subordinates were all pirates, what could pirates do if they didn't rob, the surrounding countries suffered greatly, but because these countries were very weak, they couldn't help Chen Zuyi.

In this way, Chen Zuyi's courage and appetite became bigger and bigger, and gradually evolved to specialize in robbing large ships and merchant ships, which was rampant for many years, until he met Zheng He. When Zheng He's fleet sailed through the Three Buddhas, it just happened to bump into Chen Zuyi.

You must know that Chen Zuyi is definitely not a madman, it is not easy for him to get into the position of the king, looking at those behemoths of warships and the muzzles of black holes, anyone who is sane will not be willing to be cannon fodder.

But pirates are pirates after all, and the gold and silver treasures on Zheng He's ship are the biggest temptation, in Chen Zuyi's opinion, as long as he succeeds in this vote, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But how do you do it? It's definitely not going to work, so let's outwit.

Chen Zuyi decided to take advantage of the darkness, and then gathered a large number of pirates to raid Zheng He's flagship while the official army was unprepared, and controlled the center to disrupt the deployment of the Ming army, and broke them individually. It should be said that this is a good plan, in terms of Chen Zuyi's strength, he can only choose such a plan, after careful planning, he confidently began to arrange various preparations before the robbery. In Chen Zuyi's view, Zheng He is a sheep, a fat sheep that can bring him great wealth, and he will soon become rich.

In order to successfully complete the robbery task, Chen Zuyi looked for accomplices everywhere, and after a lot of struggle, he actually found more than 10,000 people and more than 50 warships, so he led his subordinates to approach the Ming warships with great ambition, preparing to take the Ming army by surprise.

"What? Zheng He, you want to rob our territory, you have to kill them all!" Chen Zuyi was furious, kicked over the table, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a woman who had been kidnapped next to him pitifully on the side, rushed up and kicked a few times, and vented his anger.

"Gather all your brothers and kill the people of light!" he commanded, relieved to remember that he had tens of thousands of troops.

"The king is slow!" A dog-legged man named Hong Leased came next to him and persuaded Chen Zuyi.

"Great King, that Zheng He has a regular army of 20,000, if we forcibly attack, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated. ”

Chen Zuyi scratched his head when he heard that the whole army was annihilated, because they were pirates, and they might turn around and be swallowed up: "Then what do you say......?"

"We need to unite a few bands of pirates. ”

"Fart! Aren't so many benefits going to be shared with them?" Chen Zuyi was angry again.

"The king is angry!" Hong Lecao knelt on the ground skillfully, let the gang leader step on a few feet, and then said: "The Ming Dynasty is Zheng He's backstage, the Ming army is strong, and the force of our Bolin State alone can't resist it." ”

"Hiss......" Chen Zuyi remembered, people died not old and young, and almost peed their pants, it was a real cannon: "That ......"

"The king, the villain's idea, since this battle must be fought, if you want to deal with Zheng He, you must unite a few more pirates from gangs from other countries. ”

Chen Zuyi thought about it and felt reasonable, so he called Hong to contact him.

"Wait, did those big ships leave last time?" he asked about the four 5,000-ton ships that Zheng He's fleet sent to Wang Jinghong a while ago.

"I left early, I'm afraid I'll be in Annan at this time. ”

"This is a great opportunity to deal with Zheng He's fleet. ”

"Commander Zheng, the Bolin State is gathering men and horses to attack us!"

Such a big matter can't be kept secret at all, and more than one wave of people have come to report, Zheng He immediately found the two army commanders, Huo Dongfang and Tian Wenlong, to discuss.

"Kill his whole family!" Huo Dongfang is a fierce general, and he is more inclined to fight and kill.

"Our fleet is scattered, the four treasure ships under the command of Deputy Wang Jinghong have not yet been returned, there are nearly 2,000 skilled guards on several ships, and there are also 2,000 recruits, but they are not well trained, and they can mobilize only a few thousand soldiers, almost to fight against more than 10,000 pirates. "Tian Wenlong's personality is more refined, he is good at calculations.

"Well, I think I can fight, so... Such... In this way..."Zheng He said, and the three of them discussed.

"All the soldiers are mobilized and fully armed!" shouted the treasure ship as it banged its gongs, and notices were posted all over the ship.

"Pirates are coming!" the soldiers frowned as they read the notice, but instead of giving up, they were thinking about the role they could play in the war. Immediately after Zheng He gave the order, the fleet entered a state of emergency, and all the soldiers received the mobilization order, took up arms, and prepared for battle.

Even some scribes and logisticians received mobilization orders, mainly engaged in logistics and medical assistance, and if they had to do so, they had to go into battle to kill the enemy. The soldiers showed unprecedented unity and bravery, because this was their home and their only hope, and the strong Zheng He also gave them victory.

In the dark sea, groups of ships are gathering, carrying nearly 10,000 pirates from all walks of life. For the sake of insurance, Chen Zuyi gathered a total of 30,000 people, in addition to pirates and gang members, as well as 3,000 soldiers of the regular army of other countries, who took off their military uniforms and pretended to be pirates.

In order to take it by surprise, the first wave of pirates arrived near Zheng He's fleet in the second half of the night, preparing to board the treasure ship in the early morning. Due to the sudden change in the weather on the way and the fact that it was too dark to see clearly, they fell behind halfway, and only more than 9,000 people actually reached the vicinity of the fleet, but they thought that so many people were enough to deal with Zheng He.

The pirate ship sneaked up and began to board. They thought they were secretive, but in the darkness there were many eyes fixed on them. In the darkness, a pirate quickly boarded the ship, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, poof, tripped over something, a standard dog eating.

This fall was not light, he landed directly on his face, with a gold star in front of him, and before he stood up, he felt a cold neck, and then saw his headless body lying on the ground, and his neck was spurting blood. Then he lost consciousness and rolled his head over with his head in a bone.
