Chapter 593: Majestic
"It hurts meβ?" The man shouted.
Zheng He didn't have time to take a closer look, hurriedly put down the man, and said, "You can bear with this brother, just for a while!" After speaking, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms, poured a little into the man's hand, and said, "Put this on your knee and rub it gently, just for a while?" β
Although the man was in a terrible pain, he also knew that Zheng He had saved him just now, and he didn't say much to lift the hem of his trousers, and a large piece of flesh was immediately broken by the knee, his face did not change, and he pressed his right hand hard, and the wound medicine was close to the flesh, and a heart-piercing pain immediately made his forehead overflow with bursts of cold sweat.
Zheng He nodded and said, "You can rest for a while, and I'll go see the carriage?" β
The man nodded, but because it was too painful, he didn't speak, but just hugged his fist at Zheng He.
Zheng He quickly clenched his fists, turned around and hurried towards the carriage. On the carriage, Yang Zheng pulled the reins of the horse stiffly, not daring to relax in the slightest, finally he had a lot of strength, and the two war horses neighed for a while and finally stopped. The panicked crowd got up from the ground.
After a while, there was an endless stream of crying, scolding, and shouting, and for a while there was a small street shout.
Zheng He frowned, suddenly strode forward, jumped onto the carriage, and stood on the handlebar with two knife-like eyes sweeping through the crowd.
Yang Zheng just turned around at this time, his eyes touched Zheng He, and his heart jumped violently, only to feel that this person exuded an indescribable majesty all over his body, which made people dare not look more.
Zheng He's eyes swept through the crowd one by one, and the crowd that was scolding, crying, and even shouting just now immediately fell silent.
"What a might!" Yang Zheng secretly praised himself.
There was silence on the field, everyone stared at Zheng He, no one made a sound, it was the two horses who were restless for a while, and they also snorted at this time and became quiet.
After about a cup of tea, I only heard Zheng He say loudly: "Can you go to Mafu to receive compensation for any loss today?" β
"Mafu?" The crowd began to mumble, Nanjing as a companion capital, there are many mansions of the founding heroes, such as the mansion of Chang Yuchun, Xu Da's mansion, these mansions are in addition to Nanjing, there are other places, but there is only one mansion in this Ma Mansion, and that is the mansion of the great eunuch Zheng He.
Zheng He's original surname was Ma, and Mafu was the location of his residence when he was a left-behind eunuch in Nanjing, and it is rumored that Mafu had 72 houses, and the scale was extremely large, and ordinary people did not dare to go at all.
After whispering in the crowd for a while, someone finally called out and said, "You, are you Zheng He, who has traveled to the West six times and strengthened my Ming Dynasty?" β
"Yes, yes, he is Zheng He, I recognize him, I also followed him to the West to fight with Chen Zuyi, I recognize him?" Someone else in the crowd shouted.
This Chen Zuyi was the leader of a pirate group in the Ming Dynasty, his ancestral home was Chaozhou, Guangdong, and his family went to Nanyang during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Tan has been a pirate in Malacca for more than 10 years, and the group members exceeded 10,000 at its peak. 100 warships. Dominating the seas of Japan, Taiwan, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Plundered 10,000 passing ships and attacked more than 50 coastal towns. Zhu Yuanzhang even hung 500,000 taels of silver to arrest this person, but this person was extremely cunning, and he fled to the state of Bolin in Srivijaya (now Indonesia), and became a general under King Mana Wuli.
After the death of the king, he gathered a group of pirates and set himself up as king, and Chen Zuyi became the king of the Bolin State. In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He returned to China for the first time in the Western Ocean. On the way back, Zheng He sent someone to appease Chen Zuyi. Chen Zuyi saw that there were a lot of treasures in Zheng He's treasure ship, so he moved his mind and sent someone to Zheng He to say that he wanted to surrender, but in fact, Chen Zuyi wanted to surrender by fraud, and then snatch Zheng He's fleet in one fell swoop. Although Chen Zuyi's number of ships and the number of ships were inferior to Zheng He, he encouraged his subordinates to say: "Although the fleet of the Ming Dynasty was numerous, the boat operators were new to the ocean, and most of them were river and pond divisions; Although the ships of the Ming Dynasty were large, they were slow to move and were unfamiliar with the terrain; Although the Ming Dynasty's sailors were strong, they had not fought for many years, and they were mainly horse infantry, as long as they secretly attacked Zheng He's boat division and plundered the "treasure ship", they could succeed in one fell swoop. Soon Chen Zuyi really attacked by night, Zheng He commanded the warships to quickly surround the enemy ships from the standby point, and after fierce fighting, killed more than 5,000 enemies, burned ten enemy ships, captured seven, and captured the leader Chen Zuyi and three others. In September of the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He returned to China and escorted Chen Zuyi back to the imperial court, and Zhu Di ordered Chen Zuyi to be killed in front of the envoys of various countries, and beheaded him to warn others.
At that time, this incident caused a great sensation in the city of Nanjing, and everyone knew that a eunuch named Zheng He went to the West, captured a great pirate, and was beheaded by the imperial court.
Decades have passed since this incident, but when it was shouted out, there was immediately another sensation in the crowd.
Yang Zheng was also secretly taken aback, he didn't expect to see the most outstanding navigator in Chinese history here. A Zheng He who dedicated his life to sailing! I couldn't come back to my senses for a while.
Zheng He was still standing on the handlebar, and his face did not show half joy because the crowd called out his identity, but just hugged his fists at everyone and said: "Today's thing is that Zheng He is wrong, I will bear all the losses, and please get out of the way quickly, so that the old man's carriage can leave here?" β
The crowd listened to him politely, and there was compensation for the loss, and everyone rejoiced, and those who shouted continued to shout, and those who sold continued to sell, and those whose shops were washed away by horse-drawn carriages began to tidy up their shops, and the streets were bustling with activity.
Zheng He exhaled heavily, glanced at Yang Zheng on horseback and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you little brother for today's event, if not, I don't know how to end it?" β
In his previous life, Yang Zheng admired Zheng He's feat of going to the West seven times, especially because he was able to rely on his identity as a eunuch to learn his talents, which was vividly reflected in the great undertakings he had done in his life.
"Your Excellency is polite, it's just a gesture, compared to the feat of your seven trips to the West, this is nothing?" Yang Zheng hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back.
"Seven timesβ?" Zheng He paused slightly, stared at Yang Zheng for a few moments, smiled, and said: "Little brother is mistaken, the old man was ordered to lead my Ming Dynasty's huge fleet of more than 240 sea ships and 27,400 crew members to sail from the third year of Yongle, and led the fleet to the Western Ocean six times in September of the fifth year of Yongle, September of the seventh year of Yongle, the winter of the eleventh year of Yongle, the winter of the fifteenth year of Yongle, and the spring of the nineteenth year of Yongle, and there was never a seventh time?" β
Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Six times, haven't you arrived in Mecca yet?" β
"Mecca?" Zheng He glanced at Yang Zheng with some surprise and said, "Does the little brother also know Mecca?" β
Yang Zheng nodded and said, "I heard people in my hometown, where is the holiest city in Islam, with the Kaaba and the Forbidden Temple, it is said that there is a temple where Ibrahim's father and his people worshipped idols at that time, in order to make them turn to believe in Allah, Ibrahim asked Allah to show the god who resurrects the rotten bones." Allah told Ibrahim to catch four birds, dismember them one by one, and then put them on the four peaks.
Allah asked Ibrahim to cry out loudly, and after a few shouts, the parts of the bird automatically gathered together and the bird began to soar again in the blue sky. When people saw this, their hearts were shaken, but when they returned home, they still worshipped idols. Ibrahim was in a hurry, so he went to the temple and smashed all the idols of jade carvings, wood carvings, and clay sculptures. The people were furious, and they seized him, tied him up and down with thick ropes, and then set a raging fire in the square, and threw Ibrahim into the fire, so that he could be punished with the severest punishment. The fire burned the rope in one fell swoop, but Ibrahim was unscathed, jumping out of the fire and continuing to preach the teachings of Islam. The people were stunned and finally followed Ibrahim, reciting the Qur'an with devotion and believing in Allah. Yang Zheng was talking happily, suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, followed by a figure flashing over, a pair of strong palms grabbed his arms, and shook vigorously: "You, you said slower, you said slower, where else is there?" β
Yang Zheng looked at Zheng He in front of him in surprise, his dark eyes were full of tears, his cheeks were full of smiles because of excitement, his strong and powerful hands were tightly grasping his arms, and his tall and burly body trembled slightly.
"My lord, this Mecca is the holy place of the Islamic family, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish talking for a while, why don't we find a place to sit down and rest while talking?" Yang Zheng grinned.
Zheng He was shocked to realize that the strength of his hands was a little stronger, and he hurriedly let go of his hands and said, "I'm sorry little brother, it hurt you, right?" β
Yang Zheng moved his arm and said in his heart: "People say that the eunuch Zheng He of the Three Treasures is seven feet tall, with a large waist and ten girths, four mountains and a small nose, clear eyebrows, ears and mountains, teeth like braided shells, walking like tiger steps, sound like a bell, only negative longitude and latitude, Wentong Confucius and Meng, clever in argumentation, long in wisdom and strategy, good at fighting, strong in martial arts, today I saw that it really deserves its reputation, these hands have a grasp of one hundred and eighty pounds, fortunately I am not bad, otherwise these arms would not be broken!" β
