Zheng He's fleet continued towards Annam, and the red-haired Yiren on board woke up twice and was knocked unconscious twice.

When I woke up for the third time, I finally realized the mistake I had made before, covered my neck, looked at the military man with tiger eyes wide open and clenched fists, sat honestly, and no longer expressed too excited emotions.

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong were holding cloth towels, lying in the cabin and resisting seasickness. With the good medicine judged by Zhao Yuan, he will not continue to vomit darkly, but it does not mean that he can be alive.

Calculate the time required for the return flight, and save some medicine.

Especially Wang Gonggong, it took a lot of effort to snatch a few more pills from Gonggong Zheng, and he ate them all, and he could only suffer the whole way on the way back.

Fortunately, the doctor who accompanied the ship also had an emergency solution, there were no medicinal materials, and he tried to press the acupuncture points, which could be relieved for a period of time, otherwise, the first time Zheng Gonggong and Wang Gonggong went to sea, they might die in the line of duty, and the feat of going to the West seven times was probably going to be completed.

The team leader and deputy team leader - bed-dwelling, no time or heart to deal with this person, other people in the fleet are not interested in this Yi people, if you have time, it is better to think about how to exchange a few Japanese craftsmen who can make Japanese knives from Ding Qianhu's hands.

These Japanese craftsmen are different from the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, they are "bartered" in exchange, which is equivalent to cloth and tea, and are not protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the Tai-Zucheng Law, and can be completely regarded as goods and trades, and will not be investigated for the crime of "unauthorized buying-selling-people-mouth".

Replace it with a Ming craftsman?

Thought that the society could buy and sell slaves at will? It's pure fantasy.

It is now the early years of Yongle, Zhu Di is vigorously advocating the restoration of the Tai-Zu-Chengxian, without the permission of the government, without the relevant procedures, the vassal king is the same as the crime, needless to say, the Shuren have been caught, and they will be imprisoned for several years if they are not assigned to the army.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, why is there a girl in the Ming Dynasty who calls the main family Daddy? That is, in the name of adoption, exploiting the law-loophole. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, during the reign of Zhu Di, he dared to step on the line and definitely cleaned it up without delay.

Japan was not yet a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese people who broke the law in the Ming Dynasty were severely punished, but the Japanese craftsmen were not protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the double standard is reached, no one will protest, or rather, dare not protest.

Defy? Let's fight!

Killed or buried, beaten to the point of missing arms and legs, medical expenses at their own expense.

Who made you provoked? If you don't clean up, you will still be kept?

The Ming Dynasty during the Yongle Emperor period was so strong. Japan has not yet deeply realized that Tatar and Warat can fully show up and say.

The Japanese knife is developed from the Tang knife, and in terms of sharpness, the good Japanese knife is indeed superior to the waist knife of the Ming army.

Among these Japanese craftsmen, the vast majority of those in the hands of Gonggong Zheng do not have to think about it, and most of them have to enter the imperial court. In the hands of Ding Qianhu, in addition to entering the imperial court, another part will be distributed to the king of Han and the king of Zhao, with the relationship between Xingningbo and Dingguo Gong, naturally there will be no favoritism, and a few people must be removed.

For the rest, a slap can be counted.

If you don't start early, how long will you wait?

By the time the fleet returned, the daylilies were cold!

Everyone was busy dividing up the Japanese craftsmen, and the red-haired Yiren were naturally left out in the cold.

Who bothered to bother with him if he didn't have any value to dig out and was not an object to do business with? If you don't understand the language, you have to find an interpreter, how troublesome.

The only one who will ask him for questions is Ding Qianhu.

Without him, people are fished out by thousands of households, and they have to ask a few words about their routines, maybe they have usable value.

With two interpreters, Ding Qianhu walked into the cabin.

The red-haired man narrowed his eyes, not quite as accustomed to the instantaneous bright light.

Ding Qianhu turned his head to explain a few words, and the two interpreters took turns to change several languages before they could talk smoothly.

After repeated inquiries and several confirmations, I learned the true identity of this person.

"This man's name is Diash, and he is said to be a Franco, who came here a few months ago on a large food merchant ship."

The exchange between the interpreter and Dias lasted for two teas, and he basically learned about Diaz's personal situation seven to seven to eight to eight.

Ding Qianhu looked puzzled and asked, "Is this person on a big food merchant ship?" Why, then, did it fall into the sea? Could it be the sea breeze? ”

After listening to the interpreter's relay, Dias suddenly looked angry.

It's not that he was shipwrecked, but that he was deceived.

The captain promised to send him to the land of the Ming Dynasty, but the ship did not dock at all, and he dropped off the boat at a distance from the shore and let him row ashore by himself.

Without official permission, and not where the city shipping department is located, the big food merchant ship naturally does not dare to approach the coast of Daming easily, what if it is cleaned up by the pirates?

Since I have seen Zheng He's fleet, a cadre of merchant ships, etc., I have to avoid the flat-headed fishing boats of the Ming Dynasty from afar, so as not to get into trouble. It is not even a matter of daring to approach the coast for him alone.

If you want to land, you "smuggle - escape" by yourself.

"So he rowed ashore on his own?"

The interpreter nodded, and Ding Qianhu was speechless.

By the way, he won't get a fool on the boat, right? That's a loss-making deal.

Dias was still unaware of it, still gushing angrily, waving his fists from time to time.

At that time, seeing that the captain had only given a small boat, he naturally wanted to protest. In any case, he paid the silver coins, and the captain violated the contract he had made!

After some arguments, there was no one on his side on the ship. If Dias continues to complain, even the boat will be gone, so he will jump into the sea and swim ashore.

In front of the sailor's biceps and pectoralis major, Dias had to bow his head.

Coming to the East with the dreams of his childhood, he must not give up halfway. Before leaving, he made bold remarks, and when he returned to his hometown like this, he was greeted with endless ridicule.

Dias glared fiercely at the captain of the merchant ship, and swore that after he made a fortune, he would definitely give this man a good look. He got off the merchant ship and rowed his boat to land.

Looking at the boat in the distance, the captain sneered, such a fool will get rich? It's a pipe dream.

Fortunately, the captain pointed out that Dias was in the right direction, and it didn't take long for Dias to see the land and meet the boatman who was patrolling the sea of the Ming Dynasty, but this did not mean good luck.

Seeing him waving his hands and shouting, as if he was crazy, the Ming army on the ship mistook him for a pirate, and did not listen to his explanation at all, perhaps because he did not understand, and immediately launched an attack on him.

In an instant, arrows rained down and the boat capsized.

"I thought I would die in the far east sea, so I could only keep praying to God!" Dias clasped his hands and smiled dreamily again, "God is merciful!" ”

Translation: "......"

Ding Qianhu: "......"

Thrown down by a merchant ship, met the Daming Boat Master, was treated as a pirate, and was able to survive, and was rescued by the fleet after the worst incident, should I say that this person is unlucky to go home or good luck?

"Ask him what he is doing in Daming?"

Diaz's reply was to take out a copy of Marco Polo's travels soaked in the sea from his bosom, and said: "Ever since I read this travelogue, I have always dreamed of El Dorado, and I have wanted to confirm everything in the book with my own eyes many years ago. ”

Listening to the interpreter's paraphrase, Ding Qianhu frowned, and the Dias in front of him reminded him of the "adventurer and colonizer" in Meng's mouth.

At that time, Xingningbo practiced for him, and it was rare to get drunk during the banquet, and many unfamiliar words came out of his mouth, and Ding Qianhu was also drunk, and he didn't remember much, if it wasn't for the "Golden Country" in Dias's mouth, he couldn't think of these at all.

The floodgates of memories opened, and thinking of what kind of Europa people Meng was talking about, Ding Qianhu's face became ugly.

He had asked Hingningbo how he had learned about this.

Xingningbo's answer was that when he was in the countryside, he met the remnants of the Song Dynasty who had returned from overseas.

There are still doubts in his heart, and Ding Qianhu did not continue to get to the bottom of it. Officialdom experience has taught him that when he needs to pretend to be confused, it's best not to be too smart.

Hinningbo is not a man who can speak.

So, the Francophone in front of you is one of those Europa robbers who will do anything for gold and spices?

Dias couldn't understand Ding Qianhu's words, but he could understand his expression, and he didn't understand why he suddenly put away his smile and looked at himself so unkindly, but he also obediently closed his mouth and didn't dare to continue complaining.

"Look at him." Ding Qianhu really wanted to throw Dias into the sea now, but after thinking about it, it was better to take it back to Xingningbo first, it was really useless, and it was not too late to kill it.

"Yes."

The military man agreed, Ding Qianhu whispered a few more words, and the military man nodded again and again.

"Qianhu rest assured, he will definitely be optimistic about this person, and he will not be allowed to take a step out of the cabin!"

"Yes."

Ding Qianhu nodded and left with an interpreter. After a while, a boatman brought Dias bread and pickles.

There is minced meat in the pickles, and the cakes are still hot.

Even on the merchant ship of Dashi, paying for room and board, Dias did not enjoy such treatment. I picked up the cake and took a bite of it, and I immediately burst into tears.

God, there are no stones, no chaff, and they are soft!

It is worthy of the Golden Country, and the food for the victims is so abundant!

Dias began to devour one of the best meals of his life for twenty-eight years.

In Europe, ordinary aristocrats may not be able to eat so well.

There is no doubt that at the beginning of the fifteenth century, at the end of the Middle Ages in Europe, not bathing was the norm, and being able to eat was a gift from God.

The bread eaten by kings and nobles would also have chaff sandwiched, and the black bread eaten by commoners was mostly hard enough to crush people. For each meal, axes and machetes were to be prepared for one purpose, to chop bread.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

Compared with Daming, who has a special person in charge of urban sanitation and dredging sewer pipes, Paris at this time is still stinking, walking on the road, stepping on things that should not be stepped on, the probability of accidentally being hit is as high as more than 80%.

Gorgeous castles, tall knights, romantic courts?

Sorry, it's all a legendary myth that needs to be dreamed of to come true.

The reality is that tin men who are less than 1.7 meters tall, stone fortresses where mosquitoes and flies breed, and kings and queens who don't bathe. There were court balls, but seeing a well-dressed lady with lice crawling in her hair would satisfy her appetite on the spot.

Dias's exclamation was sincere, and he even finished the meal with gratitude.

I don't know how to use chopsticks, so I can get started directly.

After eating, the dishes are cleaner than washed.

The soldier in charge of supervising - looked - his eyes twitched, and he simply walked out of the cabin, and as soon as the door was closed, out of sight.

Zheng He's fleet continued to sail towards Annan, in order to promote the prestige of the country and to find out the true situation of Annan.

Prince Chen, who went to Nanjing, to govern, to take refuge, cried and asked the kingdom to send troops to help him restore the old unity.

Zhu Di thought about it again and again, it is not impossible to help Prince Chen restore the country, but he can't just contribute without benefits.

The king is in all countries, and the face of benevolence and generosity must be supported, but the loss-making business cannot be done.

Da Ming paid for people, but the benefit was that a person surnamed Chen got it, when he was wronged?

The Ming Dynasty sent troops to help Prince Chen rebel and restore the country, yes.

After sending troops, Annan must also show something. Before sending troops, it is also necessary to determine the identity of Prince Chen. If you're a liar, it's a big joke.

As a result, Zheng He's trip to the East had one more Annan.

Under the arrangement of Zhu Di, Prince Chen appeared in front of the mission, and together with Prince Chen, Pei Boqi, the minister of Annan of the Ming Dynasty, shouted and greeted the envoys of Annan in the palace, and staged a good show.

After confirming the identity of Prince Chen, he only needs to wait for Zheng He's fleet to return to understand the true situation of Annan, and then he can make preparations for the next step.

During this period, Emperor Yongle took the time to meet with the Japanese envoys, accepted the Japanese tribute, praised the Japanese general Yuan Daoyi for his good understanding of current affairs, rewarded Luo Qi with gold and silver, and rewarded the visiting members of the mission.

The more than 20 Japanese robbers brought with him were ordered to be returned to Japan and ordered to dispose of them on their own.

"Your Majesty, your majesty is grateful!"

The leader of the mission was grateful, bowed and kowtowed, and set off to return home with the reward of the Ming Dynasty.

When they walked to Ningbo and waited for the ship, the members of the mission sold all their katana swords in exchange for more silk tea.

There are too many things, and more than 20 widows seem cumbersome. The members of the mission voted collectively that there was no need to bring these people back to Japan, and that they could be settled on the spot and all of them killed. Offering tea and silk, presumably the generals will not be to blame.

The team leader crossed his arms, thought about it for a moment, nodded, okay, that's it.

The katana is sold, and it can't cut people, and it doesn't take a stone and throw it into the sea, and it's not safe.

Simply pile up the firewood, put a large pot on the shelf, and steam it all.

The screams of more than 20 Japanese soldiers were heard far away, but the Japanese who lit the fire did not hesitate at all.

The guards and soldiers who "escorted" this group of Japanese missions all frowned, the Japanese people were so ferocious, once they became powerful, it would be a big disaster!

Hearing the report, Zhu Di pondered for a long time and convened his close ministers to discuss.

Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that the sale of Japanese swords in Daming without permission is an illegal act, and the Japanese general should be reprimanded and severely punished.

Zhu Di shook his head, "Qing only sees this?" ”

A few Japanese knives are nothing, and the barbaric viciousness of the Japanese people makes him look sideways.

Small countries and widows, but they are like - cruel - tyrannical, and they need to be more guarded against.

Li Zhigang's petition was not approved, and Zhu Di did not pursue the behavior of the Japanese people for smuggling-selling-Japanese swords, but instead ordered Yuan Daoyi to be praised and allowed Japan to change the tribute from one tribute in ten years to one tribute in five years. Ji Lu planned to send an envoy to Japan again, and the leader of the team was no longer Zheng He, but Hou Xian.

Historically, in order to show goodwill to the Ming Dynasty, Japan also steamed and killed more than 20 Japanese invaders, and Emperor Yongle did not pay much attention to this, but only "praised his diligence and sincerity".

The situation is different.

Japan has attracted Zhu Di's attention, even vigilance.

In Zhu Gaoxu's and Zhu Gaosui's correspondence with his father, some of Meng's views also indirectly influenced Emperor Yongle. On the surface, it is not very obvious, but what happened has already begun to work.

This is the luck of the Ming Dynasty, but it is the misfortune of some countries.

Who made it Zhu Di to sit on the throne, and the military-military-strength of the Yongle Dynasty was extremely strong? Zhu Di completely beats whoever he wants, and he is not soft at all.

A certain butterfly that unexpectedly broke into the long river of history, and the hurricane rolled up by flapping its wings is getting bigger and bigger.

The situation in Japan and Annam spread to northern Xinjiang one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were the first to learn that Shen Xuan and Meng would naturally not be left behind.

At that time, the Duke of Dingguo threw his official duties to Yuan Rong, the Marquis of Guangping, and came to Daning in the name of inspecting the north.

Meng didn't expect Shen Xuan to come to celebrate the New Year with him, and he was surprised, but also really happy.

The guilt of having to work overtime in the first month of Yuan Yuma, and because of the smile of Grandpa Guo, he was instantly thrown into the corner to plant mushrooms.

In the first month, Daning, the land of the border fortress, is no less lively than the eight mansions of Shuntian.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers and the sound of celebrating the New Year are endless.

In the Bofu, Shen Xuan sat at the table, personally picked up the warm wine jug, poured a glass of wine, and sent it to Meng.

"Congratulations to the New Year."

It's a simple sentence, but it seems to be ironed to the heart. Meng smiled, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and suddenly leaned over and fed the wine into Shen Xuan's mouth.

The transparent drink slides down the corners of the mouth and neck.

In an instant, the aroma of wine overflowed.

Away for a moment, the voice with the smell of alcohol slowly flowed.

"Tong He Ziyu."

The black eyes became more and more profound, but Meng seemed to be unconscious, picked up chopsticks, picked up a large elbow, and put it in Shen Xuan's bowl.

"Eat vegetables! The elbow was picked by me for Grandpa Guo, and it is definitely enough. ”

Shen Xuan: "......"

A Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Grandpa Guo and Uncle swept the table.

Judging from the battle situation, the combined amount of food between the two is enough to be proud of the others.

After the meal, Meng Yu was eating and drinking, and Shen Xuan took out a wooden box and handed it to Meng.

"Sent to me?"

"Yes."

The box opened, and a hosta lay quietly inside.

Warm and pleasant, I don't understand jade, and I know that it is a top grade.

Meng picked up the hairpin, a simple pattern, and was relieved to be sure that it was a men's model.

It was the rewards of the emperor and empress that cast a shadow on him.

"Thank you."

I just closed the box and tried to put it away, but my hand was held down.

Before he could make a sound, his vision turned upside down in an instant.

Realizing what Shen Xuan was going to do, Meng hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, keep the New Year, keep the New Year!" ”

In other words, the wrong direction, turn around!

Shen Xuan clasped Meng's waist with one arm, turned his head sideways, raised his long eyebrows slightly, his eyes flowed, and under the reflection of the candle flame, he was stained red.

"I know." The mouth is like this, but the footsteps do not stop, "I keep the year with Twelve Lang." ”

When Shen Xuan pushed open the door of the side compartment, bypassed the screen, and stopped in front of the collapse, Meng Shishilang's eyes widened.

Keeping the New Year?

In this case, how to keep the New Year?

Grandpa Guo was completely unaffected, put the person down, leaned over, wiped his fingers over Meng's cheek, dropped a light kiss, and immediately sat aside, scooped Meng over, patted it, and after that, there was no after.

Meng squinted and looked at Shen Xuan, that's all?

Shen Xuan curled the corners of his lips, otherwise, what did Twelve Lang think?

Meng: "......"

He was not disappointed!

Go to XXXX and not disappointed at all!

But he wants to bite, he really wants to!

Before Meng could find a place to put his mouth down, his jaw was suddenly buckled, and he raised his head with the strength of his fingers, and his lips were blocked.

fluttered twice, couldn't break free, honest.

In this way, it is impossible for Meng Shishilang to be disappointed.
