Gonggong Zheng was worried about his trip to the East.
It is not impossible for the boat to sail in the river, and it is still black in front of him, and it is not impossible to go out of the sea and walk out of the river and carry it back horizontally.
Meng wanted to be comforted, but he couldn't comfort him.
Scratching your chin, can seasickness be cured?
Do you want to suggest that Zheng Gonggong do more dizziness exercises?
For example, holding your head and turning your head, swinging-swinging-swinging or something...... However, he didn't know if it was useful, in case it didn't work, wasn't it obvious to sprinkle salt on Gonggong Zheng's wounds?
Otherwise, perhaps a breakthrough in medical means can be sought?
Thinking of the Tai Hospital, which was very research-oriented, Meng suddenly had an idea.
"If Gonggong Zheng can be trusted, he will have a proposal below."
"Oh?"
"Father-in-law Zheng might as well take a trip to Tai Hospital."
"Too Hospital?"
"Admittedly." Meng Dao, "When I was in the countryside, I heard that some people would also get dizzy when riding ox carts, and some doctors could use medicine to effectively alleviate the symptoms of vertigo. With the medical skills of all the good doctors in the Ether Hospital, Zheng's problem should be solved. ”
Meng recommended the judgment of the Zhao court to Zheng He, and Zheng He immediately thanked him, and he had to seize a glimmer of hope! It is impossible to disobey the emperor's order, but if there is a way to alleviate the dizziness on the ship, Gonggong Zheng is willing to try.
As for whether the Zheng Gong Guild would suffer inhumane onlookers on the way to treatment and become the object of the imperial doctors' study of medical skills, it was not under Meng Neng's control.
Thinking about the years in the army, thinking about the golden needle that was once pierced in his head, Meng couldn't help but shudder, and by the way, he shed tears of sympathy for Gonggong Zheng.
For the sake of the great navigation cause and the glory of the Chinese nation, Zheng Gonggong reluctantly sacrificed it.
Imagine, under the blue sea and blue sky, the fleet of the Ming Dynasty set sail, dozens of treasure ships, fortune ships, warships carrying artillery, horse ships carrying goods, grain and grass, plus a variety of small and medium-sized wooden boats shuttling in the behemoth, forming a huge team, mighty westward, how spectacular this is!
In the magnificent fleet, the majestic man standing on the treasure ship was pale, and the ship staggered to the side of the ship in the wind and waves......
Meng Mo turned his head silently, covered his face, and really couldn't bear to look at it directly.
If you are unfortunate enough to meet a more serious historian, uphold the spirit of seeking truth from facts, and refuse to use the Spring and Autumn penmanship to accommodate it, the navigators of the Ming generation may jump into the sea and end the voyage of seven Western oceans ahead of schedule.
Because the name of navigation has gone down in history, it is glorious.
Under the glory, he remarked a line of small words, telling such a black history, not to mention the pure master Zheng He, and he couldn't stand it if he changed people.
In order to ensure that there were no mistakes or omissions in the feat of going to the West, and also for the consideration of his own "money", Meng personally wrote a letter and sent his guards to the mansion of the Zhao Yuanju.
In any case, the problem of Zheng He's seasickness must be solved. Temporarily changing the leader, Meng did not dare to guarantee that he still had the opportunity to make a fortune on the boat, and he was not sure whether the trip to the American continent would be successful.
He did not doubt that the Ming fleet would reach the other side of the globe.
With the shipbuilding skills and seafarer quality of the Ming Dynasty, Africa has been gone, and the giraffes have also been brought back, will the Americas and potatoes and corn be far away?
sent Zheng He away, sent a letter to the Zhao court, Meng led people to collect the emperor's rewards, put the gold and silver into the warehouse, and counted the treasure money.
While the treasure money has not depreciated too much, it is only right to exchange it for food and daily necessities with practical value as soon as possible.
So, before leaving for the north, Meng took his subordinates and began a journey of local tyrants in Nanjing.
Grain, cloth, cotton, spices, livestock, as long as it is needed by the border plug and can be used in the north, Meng Yi will not let it go.
A lot of treasure money was smashed, and the goods were pulled back into a car.
Hearing that there was a large food fleet coming to pay tribute, and the fleet carried a large number of spices and exquisite gems, as well as some spice seeds, Meng suddenly his eyes lit up, and he inquired about the residence of Honglu Siqing, and squatted on time and on time.
Seeing Xing Ningbo, who was guarding in front of the mansion before dawn, the newly appointed Honglu Temple Qing Fan Jing didn't go, and he didn't go, it was an incomparable headache.
Who is Hinningber?
Defeated Zhao Wei in the matter of Like, destroyed Chen Ying, the left deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and was participated in by various officials, but he soared to the top and directly held the fierce man in the army of the Zhu family's iron rice bowl, the court-cow-man!
Being entangled by him, do you want to get out easily?
Dream on.
No matter how much headache he had, Fan Jing didn't dare to pick people directly, so he had to discuss with Meng in a good voice, Xing Ningbo wanted to buy seeds from the big food merchants, it was not impossible, he wanted to swallow them all, but he couldn't.
"After the tribute, His Majesty ordered the merchants of Dashi to sell goods in Beijing, but there was a certain limit, and the transaction needed to be inspected by the Division."
To put it simply, Fan Jing can help with what Meng asks, but to what extent he can help, he can only do his best.
"It's enough to say that if you have a big order."
Meng's original intention was to hook up with these big food merchants, buying spices on the one hand, and more importantly, he was very interested in the sea ships of the big food and the ability of the big cannibals to discern the direction at sea.
It would be even better if you could get the charts drawn by the Great Cannibal.
It's unlikely, but you have to try to do it again.
If you don't get a chart, it's good to learn a little sailing experience from the big cannibal.
Before the rise of Europe's sea coachmen, the Ottoman Empire, which straddled Eurasia, controlled the waterways between the East and the West, and it was the Great Food Fleet that dominated the maritime trade between the East and the West.
The Great Food's fleet was loaded with silk, porcelain, spices from the East, gold coins and precious stones from the West, along the monsoon, to and from different continents.
The wooden ships, the huge sails raised, the dark-skinned sailors, shouting trumpets, pulled up the anchor, and set off on another voyage.
Seabirds soar in the wind, and the glow reflects the sea.
The blue sea and blue sky, the huge ships, the tired but more excited sailors, this is the sea caravan of the fifteenth century, and it is also a colorful page in the history book.
As the sea coachmen embark on an adventure for gold coins and spices, the maritime trade is also painted with blood.
With a plundering and greedy European fleet, the path of bloody trade and colonization that lasted for centuries began.
The Dutch, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the British, the French, all flocked in search of gold, spices, silk and tea.
In the stormy Chongzhen Dynasty, even with internal and external troubles, it still won the naval battle against the Dutch, repelled the ambitious sea bandits, and defended the sea country.
Daming declared to the world that the land of China belongs to the Chinese people!
Greedy robbers, where did they come from, and where they go back!
This is the most splendid Chinese civilization in history.
Since then, the nomads have entered the Central Plains, and the fire of Chinese civilization has gradually scattered and dissipated in the slaughter again and again, under the barbaric butcher's knife with no hair left.
Standing for a long time, there seemed to be a fire burning in Meng's chest.
Take a deep breath, and there is still some dull pain in the throat.
It is undeniable that in the face of history, the power of human beings is incomparably small. But since he came to this strange era and was involved in the torrent of history, he would not blindly follow the trend. Something must be done to avoid this in vain.
Forward or backward, I already have the answer in my heart.
History has long since changed.
Everything, but only in a thought.
Taking a deep breath, Meng let go of his clenched fist, waved his hand, summoned his personal guards, and continued to sweep the goods on the street.
Before leaving, the treasure money in your hand will be used up anyway.
Don't look at the grassland men who are honest, honest people also have hearts.
Buying and selling goods, trading livestock, bartering is no problem, and the price is negotiable.
Treasure money? Absolutely not!
Meng's crazy spending of money attracted the attention of the palace, including his act of guarding in front of the gate of Honglu Temple and buying spices and seeds in large quantities from the Great Food Caravan, which was secretly reported to the palace by Jinyiwei.
Turning over the Jinyi Wei's recital, Emperor Yongle pondered for a long time.
The next day, Zheng He went to Xingning Mansion and informed Meng that in August, Ma Rong, the governor of the Right Army's Governor's Mansion, would lead a sea boat to transport grain and spices to Beijing, and some of the goods on board would be sent to Daning.
When the oracle arrived, the front of Honglu Temple was suddenly clean, and Honglu Temple Qing no longer had to worry about being entangled by someone when he went out.
The merchants in Nanjing are sighing, there are not many buyers like Xingningbo, buying in large quantities, and not bargaining much, even if they use treasure money, it is not a loss to convert it into copper money. Suddenly, there was no sign of Xingningbo, and the merchants were very disappointed.
In fact, the Son of Heaven did not send Zheng He, and Meng also planned to stop. After his stirring up in this way, the price of grain and cloth in the capital began to rise, and it was a loss that Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, was in Suzhou to control the water, and Yu Xinren was in Beijing, so he couldn't manage the affairs of Nanjing, otherwise, a crime of disrupting the market and raising prices would definitely not be able to escape.
Meng knew each other very well, and the emperor was very satisfied.
In addition to being happy, he sent Meng a few bundles of treasure money.
Anyway, there is no need for reserves, and it can be sent with the print, Zhu Di is not distressed at all.
Meng has one head and two big, and finally spent all the previous rewards, and came again?
But with Zheng He's reminder, Meng Weishi didn't dare to continue to be a tyrant in Nanjing, so he could only pack the treasure banknotes, bundle them in a carriage, and transport them back to Daning together in his luggage.
If you don't need to go out, you can transport it back to Mengjiatun and send it to the ancestral hall, which can also make the clan elders happy.
After making up his mind, Meng no longer went out and concentrated on packing his luggage at home.
Too many goods were purchased, the number of carriages and horses directly doubled, and the queue lengthened a lot.
I don't know what I do, I think it's a wealthy businessman who pulls goods to the north to do business.
Meng didn't care, and when he met a liuguan who went to the north and wanted to go with him, he didn't refuse.
There are personal guards, and there are also brocade guards, playing the banner of first-class uncles, and they have to be brainless to come to the door to find trouble.
If you really encounter the outcast-wild-thief between the mountains, it is not certain who will rob whom.
In July of the second year of Yongle, Xingningbo's team finally set off from Nanjing.
Before leaving, Meng borrowed the brocade guard to present a letter to the Son of Heaven. Originally, it was necessary to be sealed by the General Political Envoy, and there was a brocade guard, so this procedure could be dispensed with. Besides, it doesn't matter if some of the contents of the note are shown to the Son of Heaven, if some ministers see it, it will definitely provoke a bunch of impeachment notes.
After thinking about it, Meng decided that if there were resources, they would be used, and they would take shortcuts.
Lay out the manuscript, spread out the paper, take up the pen and transcribe, and do it in one go.
Blow dry the ink, look up, and wave to the beam, "Brother, I'm in trouble, please go back and eat." ”
After that, Meng Shishilang stepped out of the study, and the brother on the beam stiffened for half a cup of tea.
Jin Yiwei commanded Yang Duo to receive a report from his subordinates, and his calm expression instantly cracked.
He's in charge of the Jinyi Guard, right?
The beam of the house of Xingningbo's house is the best player in the brocade guard, right?
Is it because he is rigid in his thinking or is Xingning Boshi very human?
Wu Nai's music has already been brought back, and it can't be sent back, so Yang Duo can only present a preview in person.
Since Xingningbo was given the surname of the country and had a seat in the royal family banquet, Yang Duo knew very well that Xingningbo should be treated differently from ordinary nobles. If you can't reach Xu Huizu's treatment, you must also be on par with Xu Zenghou.
There is not much content in the song, but Zhu Di takes it very seriously.
After reading it, he ordered Zheng He to go to the military headquarters, summoned the official Shi Lang to meet him, and brought the border defense maps drawn over the years, the maps of the provinces and the sea charts.
Zheng He received the order, Zhu Di got up, paced in the warm pavilion with his hands, and after a while, he passed Yang Duo and ordered Jinyiwei to investigate the sea ships of the Great Food tributary caravan, and if there was an opportunity, establish a "friendship" with the members of the Great Food fleet, and exchange ideas.
"Obey."
As the pro-army of the Son of Heaven and the leader of the Jinyi Guard, Yang Duo knew in his heart that he could ask what to ask and when to shut up.
Chen Ying didn't understand this, so he was invited to the Imperial Prison to be with Geng Xuan.
Yang Duo is smarter than Chen Ying in that he is more sober and can better grasp his own positioning.
Since it is a sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven, he should do what he is told.
Otherwise, there will only be a death by the knife.
What kind of impact this letter will have, Meng has long predicted.
Before going to the sparse, Meng had also hesitated, Shen Xuan was not around, and there was no one to discuss. It was Daoyan's admonition that made him finally make up his mind.
Since you have to fight, you can't continue to look ahead.
Besides, giving the Son of Heaven a breath is regarded as reporting in advance, and it is also paving the way for what to do in the future.
Meng Shishilang was very ambitious, and he had the spirit of raising a long knife and scolding Fang Xuan.
Gao Fu, who was guarding the side, wanted to remind him that the road ahead was not easy to walk, did the uncle take a carriage?
Looking at Uncle Meng in self-absorption, Gao Qianhu pondered for a long time, and finally chose silence is golden.
In the first day of July of the second year of Yongle, the Son of Heaven ordered that the Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of War re-order the border towns and guards in northern Xinjiang, and ordered the Bo Division of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province to send people who were familiar with the sea charts to Beijing to listen to it.
Xinke Jinshi No. 2 and No. 3 Middle School, with relevant interests and hobbies, can be self-recommended, after investigation, those who can be used, immediately awarded the officer.
At the same time, Emperor Yongle officially issued an edict, and the Qintian Eunuch was auspicious, and Zheng He, the chief eunuch of the internal chamberlain, led more than 120 sea ships to go to various countries in the East to declare the grace of heaven.
With this order, the imperial court was another earthquake.
It is a good thing to go to the East, declare the prestige of the country, and deter all the lands.
However, the leader of the team is a eunuch, the deputy leader is also a prison visitor, regardless of the military attaché, the accompanying civil officials are all arranged to play soy sauce, is this reasonable?
Xie Jin and others learned the news of the DPRK, and they also had a lot of opinions, but they couldn't get out of the Hanlin Academy, and there was a Daoyan supervisor, so they really had no time to neglect the son of tomorrow, so they could only smoke the soles of Daoyan's shoes in their hearts while reading the materials and continuing to repair the book.
King Ning and King Zhou in Beijing both wrote letters to their fathers, reporting the situation that the Son of Heaven was going to send a fleet to the East Ocean.
King Ning and King Zhou's reactions were different, King Ning was more concerned about the military significance of this move, but King Zhou was calculating, whether he could also send someone to follow the ship and take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Although there are fiefs and lulu, if they want to have a great material life, Zhu Laosi's brothers still need to find their own way, and the same is true for siblings.
It is not feasible to increase taxes, and some brothers have tried it, but they were directly scolded in a cold sweat.
It is even more difficult to occupy farmland and compete with the people for profit. It is Zhu Laosi who is sitting on the throne, and this move is purely looking for scolding, maybe he is still looking for a fight.
Buying and selling with the fleet...... cough, let's talk about it with Fanbang, there should be no problem with this move. It can be regarded as playing too - Zu Chengfa's edge ball, even if he is scolded, he can get the benefits.
As a result, the king of Zhou began to give the Son of Heaven a table, praising the benefits of going to the East in various ways, and believing that the size of the fleet was too small and that the number should be increased.
As for the internal officials as the leader, the military attache as the main force, and the civilian officials playing soy sauce, King Zhou also expressed his support.
It's not much use to deal with Fanbang, it's not much use, be thick-skinned and speak with your fists is the right way.
After receiving King Zhou's table, Zhu Di was very moved.
This is a brother!
King Zhou asked to send someone to accompany him? That's it!
However, the political outlook of the personnel must be reviewed by the Jinyi Guard, and there is no problem, and then they will be allowed to board the ship. During the period of going to the East, when the dry food was inferior, and when it communicated with Fanbang, it was necessary to draw out 30% of the profit as the shipping fee.
After receiving the reply, King Zhou bared his teeth.
The dry food and goods of the personnel are all self-provided, but they are just taking a tailwind boat, and they will give 30% of the profit, black, it is simply so black that it can't be more black!
Rao is like this, King Zhou also gritted his teeth and agreed, compared to the estimated profits, these efforts are worth it!
However, if he knows who gave the idea to the Son of Heaven, he must definitely slap him a few times, Sancheng, the flesh hurts!
Meng Shishilang, who had arrived at Hejian Mansion, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose, could it be that Grandpa Guo missed him?
