At this time, a carriage slowly walked to this side, the carriage is not how gorgeous, you can see it everywhere in this prosperous Nanjing, but if you are a discerning person, you will find that the two horses used in this carriage are good horses in a thousand miles, and the carriage is very thick, at first glance it is the kind of carriage that rushes long distances, this kind of carriage is rare in Nanjing, Beijing, Guanzhong, or the Western Regions is very much, because they are used for going out, the car must be strong and durable, Spacious and comfortable, eating and sleeping in the open is not what they want, so the appearance of this carriage has become insignificant, two horses come slowly, the handlebar type sits on the saddle, pulls the reins of the two horses with one hand, holds the whip in the left hand, shouts twice from time to time, the sound is like thunder, but it is a pity that it is nothing on the bank of the bustling Qinhuai River, so no one hears what this handlebar style is shouting?

The carriage bypassed the crowd of circus performances in front of it, and drove deep into the courtyard, as if there were not many people in this direction, so that the carriage could drive, but soon the handlebar style knew that he was wrong, there were not many people here, those who stood in front of the door to show flowers, and frequently sent autumn waves to the Qinglou women, undoubtedly had a great attraction to the tourists who came and went, whether it was young students, or high-rollers, and even high-ranking officials and nobles all flocked to the past, and the streets immediately became crowded.

The handlebar type frowned slightly, and wanted to turn back to the horse's head, but the street on the bank of the Qinhuai River was not spacious, and at this time, all kinds of shouting, shouting, circus, and shops buying all kinds of snacks in Nanjing had already accounted for most of them, so the street could barely be driven by a carriage, and it was absolutely impossible to turn around.

The handlebar seemed to know that he had reached a dead end, and sighed softly, only to pull the reins of the horse, slow down the carriage, and the two horses drove side by side.

At this time, the curtain of the car was raised, and a face peeked out of the window, this face was not amazing, with light eyebrows and a high nose, and it was enough to see the burly and tall figure from the half of his exposed body.

"Is this coming?" The man who stretched out his neck looked greedily at the grass and trees on the street, revealing infinite affection, and said softly for a long time: "Yes, this is Nanjing, this is Nanjing, I'm back, it's been five years, and I'm finally back?" The man said with a whimper in his throat and a cough. "My lord, are you alright?" A small snow-white and pink hand stretched out from behind the curtain and gently stroked the man's back.

The man coughed a few times, breathed a lot better, waved his hand into the carriage and said, "It's old and sick, it's not in the way, it's just that I saw the capital of the past for a while, and I can't help but be a little excited?"

The handlebar on the carriage glanced back at the man, and said with concern: "Daddy has been away from here for many years, and now that he is back, he should be happy to see the familiar scenery of the past, but he also has to take good care of his body, and my treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty is still counting on you to drive?"

As soon as he heard the light in the eyes of the treasure ship, the whole person looked radiant, but this look did not last long, he sighed lightly, the look in his eyes immediately became much darker, he lowered the curtain, and said, "Can I go to sea again?"

The handlebar style also sighed heavily and stopped talking.

The man lowered the curtain and re-embedded himself in the carriage.

The carriage carriage is not small, but the dress is extremely simple, except for the seat that two people can sit and lie on, the rest of the places are stacked with things, these things are all strange, there are all kinds of spices, pepper, peony, cloves, beans, agarwood, wood, dipterocarp, etc., as well as Dafengzi, Evil Tomato, blood exhaustion, sulfur, rhino horn and antelope horn are rare things in the Ming Dynasty, some have never even had.

The most surprising thing is that in the center of the carriage, there is a large piece of gem, the color of the gem is very attractive, green and high, just like spinach green, onion heart green, young tree buds, but can not accurately express its color. It's a little yellow in green, and it seems to be a little blue, and even the spectrum seems to be missing a point wavelength. Anyone who has seen it will have a strange feeling that there is no natural color in heaven and earth that is so comfortable for the eyes. When you gaze intently at the tender green lawn and foliage, the pleasing feeling can be imagined, this feeling can make people never get tired of looking at it, and whether it is cloudy or sunny, whether it is artificial or natural light, it always emits a soft and intense light, making people sigh at its magic.

The king of this green gem is called emerald gemstone, in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di regarded it as as as precious as the golden green cat's eye, there is a "gift crown needs cat's eye, emerald" said, but at this time this priceless gem is in this carriage, people have to be surprised by the identity of the person in the carriage.

The carriage was full of greenery, and a woman on the left side snuggled carefully on the person, but a pair of dark eyes stared at the emerald, and the light in her eyes was shining, and she sighed for a while and said, "It's so beautiful?"

The man glanced at the emerald, and smiled, his voice was a little sharp, if others would feel uncomfortable if they heard it, the woman seemed to have long been used to it, and did not care.

"Of course it's beautiful, it's a goddess's thing, and in the ancient Chaldean kingdom of the Persian Gulf, women especially love emerald ornaments!" the man said with a smile.

The woman stared at the emerald for a moment before she said, "I heard that you stole this gem from the pirates, right?"

The man's originally gloomy expression suddenly lit up again, staring at the incomparably green gem, and his expression seemed to have returned to the three years of Yongle.

This man's original surname was Ma Minghe, nicknamed Sanbao, also known as Sanbao, born in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, is the second son of Maha, and Zheng He has four sisters. In the winter of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, in order to eliminate the Yuan Dynasty forces entrenched in Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his subordinates Fu Youde and Lan Yu to lead an army of 300,000 to launch the Battle of Yunnan in Ming Ping. In the war, at the age of eleven, he was captured by the Ming army, castrated, and worked as a show boy in the army. Later, he entered the Nanjing Palace and came to the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping at the age of fourteen. Yan King Zhu Di saw that he was smart and clever, so he kept him by his side and became a close confidant of King Yan.

Not long after, Zhu Di Fengtian Jingjing, as a confidant of King Yan, he inevitably had to go to the battlefield to fight, relying on quick thinking, flexible skills, excellent completion of the mission assigned to him by King Yan, and Zhu Di's respect, "unsurpassed in the inner servants" After that, he made great contributions in the process of helping Zhu Di ascend the throne and become emperor, and Zhu Di was more appreciated. On the first day of the first month of the second year of Yongle, when Zhu Di expressed his reward and favor to meritorious ministers by giving his surname, Ma He was given the surname "Zheng", and since then he has been renamed "Zheng He". At the same time, he was promoted to the internal official and eunuch, ranked among the four important members, and was favored by Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, in the name of "Jingnan", captured the national capital Nanjing and burned the palace, but did not find the body of his nephew Emperor Jianwen later. Although Zhu Di ascended to the great treasure and called himself Emperor Yongle, he may still be concerned about this matter and the relics of Emperor Jianwen scattered all over the place, coupled with various rumors that Emperor Jianwen was in exile overseas, in order to find Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di sent Hu Ying to look around on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also moved the idea of looking at sea.

This idea in Hu Ying's painstaking search to no avail, finally started, Yongle three years Zhu Di awarded him the rank of "Qincha Chief Eunuch", more than 20,000 officers and soldiers handed over to him to command, he set sail from Nanjing Longjiang Port, through Taicang to the sea, together with Wang Jinghong led 27,800 people to the West for the first time, the emperor gave him the mission, is to conquer the world, the mind is far away, but he knows that he has another purpose, to find the missing Jianwen Emperor.

He sailed south with the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at the city, and then they went south from the city, and arrived at Java (Java Island, Indonesia) half a month later, because this place is an important stronghold of the strait, but all ships going farther must pass through this place, so this place is densely populated, rich in products, and there is a dynasty that has not yet been unified. He didn't know anything about this qiē on the ship.

But he was not afraid, for his great ship was forty-four feet long and eighteen feet wide, and had a carrying capacity of eight hundred tons. This kind of ship can accommodate thousands of people, and it is the largest ship in the Ming Dynasty. Its asana is majestic and unmatched. Its iron rudder, which required two or three hundred men to move, was as huge as a city.

What reassured him even more was that there was plenty of food in this huge treasure ship, and the rear compartment was full of soybeans, flour, sugar, salt, all kinds of spices, millet and rice, as well as meat dogs, broiler chickens, fat pigs, horse meat, and even carrier pigeons that carried messages, which were enough for his fleet to continue sailing at sea for three months, without needing to dock to replenish food or water. Craftsmen such as timbers, sailors, people, and advanced weapons such as guns, rockets, cannons, and curved guns, and soldiers were the capital of his daring to despise this country, and his fleet was an unrivaled fleet, which could destroy any enemy at sea without much effort, so he landed on this island without fear.

The island was extremely enthusiastic about them, which made him very happy and excited, and after passing on the will of the Ming Emperor, he wanted to continue south, but a sudden change forced his fleet voyage to stop, and he had to face his first test at sea.
