"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: Ding Nanbo, the deputy commander-in-chief of Yunnan, and the deputy commander of the mountain army, made Ma Dajun, fought bravely, made many military exploits, conquered the south without ministers, destroyed the city and pulled out the village, broke the heavy city at night, and made outstanding achievements. Reading his achievements should show his merits, and now he has added Ruding Nanhou, promoted the commander of Yunnan Capital, and promoted to General Jinwu. May Qing live up to my expectations and build up his achievements during the holidays. ”

When Ma Dajun received the order, this five-foot man who was brave and invincible on the battlefield was full of hot tears in his eyes.

This was the emperor's affirmation of him, and this affirmation was far more encouraging to him than the conferral of knighthood or wealth.

"The war in the southwest will not be reduced by the signing of the Seven-Power Agreement, on the contrary, the war in the southwest will only become more and more fought in the future."

Zhu Yunwen summoned Ma Dajun alone and gave him a face-to-face lecture.

"Including the armies of the six countries, you also have to train seriously and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, I have already selected a good opponent for them."

Let the armies of the six countries in South Asia go to the Ganges Plain and insert themselves into the heart of the Timurid Empire, stirring it fiercely, so that this invincible green religion is powerless to meddle in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland, which is Zhu Yunwen's greatest expectation for the Ma army, if the Ma army can one day enter Samarkand, then he Zhu Yunwen doesn't mind promising him a national duke!

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general will die without grace."

Sitting in Yunnan, coordinating the military of the six countries, and holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers, for a gentleman, he can be called a big man!

Ma Dajun retired and left, but he will not return to Yunnan now, he will wait until the National Day of the fourth year of Jianwen and receive the medal before he can go to his post, these two months, he will take care of his body in Nanjing, and by the way, show off with the second generation of the Fifth Military Mansion who once looked down on him.

"Your Majesty, Xue Ke returned to Beijing early this morning to hand over his post."

The first batch of triumphant troops of the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions landed in Quanzhou Port in mid-September, and Xue Ke, the commander, had already taken a large number of captured war profits to Quanzhou and transferred to Zhenjiang Mansion, leaving his naval division at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Really?"

Zhu Yunwen had just sent the army of horses, and before he had time to catch his breath, he had to continue to summon these victorious sailor generals.

"Summon, by the way, call that Ma Sanbao too."

This is the first time Zhu Yunwen has seen the famous Three Treasures eunuch Zheng He in the history of the Qing Dynasty, this led the fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, spanning tens of thousands of miles of oceans, destroying more than ten countries, the Ming Dynasty, the top bull of naval warfare.

But the current Zheng He, or Ma Sanbao, is only in his early thirties, and the body of a eunuch, his face is as white as jade, and he has no beard under his chin, and he looks more like a handsome scholar.

Ma Sanbao is a native of Yunnan, Hui nationality, but not a green cultist, because he was very young because of his cleverness and cleverness by Mu Ying in Yunnan, Fu Youde led the division he also entered the palace with the Ming army, and was rewarded by Emperor Taizu to Zhu Di as a slave, and the eight classics were raised by the small acceptance of Han culture, and the controversy in history about whether Ma Sanbao is a green disciple is that the middle-aged Sanbao eunuch believes in religion and repairs the mosque in Xi'an, so he thinks that he is a green cultist.

However, in addition to mosques, Buddhist temples, and Taoist temples, Ma Sanbao has repair records, including after his arrival in Africa, he has a hunting interest in almost all Western religious studies, which shows that Ma Sanbao himself is keen on religion.

Perhaps, he was paralyzing himself in order to find a 'God' who could forgive the blood of his hands?

"Ministers (slaves and maids) see my emperor's holy bow Jin'an."

Xue Ke bowed his hand, Ma Sanbao prostrate on the ground, and they all saluted Zhu Yunwen.

"The triumphant general has returned."

Zhu Yunwen beckoned the attendant to move a stool for the two, and joked with a smile: "I can only turn back from the southwest here, and I arrived in Nanjing City with you in front and back, what's the matter, I didn't dare to triumph ahead of me because I was afraid of stealing the limelight from me." ”

This is the first time that the two of them have grown so big, and they have been paired with the emperor's prelude, and they didn't know Zhu Yunwen's temper before, and they were a little at a loss when they heard the words, and they didn't know how to reply with their mouths open.

"Alright."

Knowing that these two people were not the masters of the fun, Zhu Yunwen also waved his hand: "Tell me in detail what you have seen and heard on this trip to sea." ”

Zhu Yunwen didn't bother to ask about the war, he only needed to care about the outcome, how to fight, even if the two of them said it, he couldn't understand it.

Hearing the emperor ask about overseas affairs, the two of them talked eloquently, and reported in detail the scenery and landmarks of Taiwan and Ryukyu on this trip, so that Zhu Yunwen listened to it with relish.

"The first time I asked about the ban on the sea a few years ago, the cabinet replied that there were Hongmaoyi in the South China Sea, is this true?"

In Zhu Yunwen's impression, Hongmaoyi should have arrived in Southeast Asia after the Age of Discovery, how could there be Europeans in Southeast Asia in those years?

"Back to Your Majesty's words, but there is no falsehood."

Ma Sanbao stood up and resumed his life, and saw Zhu Yunwen waving his hand again: "Just sit and talk back, there's no need to be together." Then he sat back in his seat and explained in detail.

"This group of Khromferi came in transit through the Arabian Peninsula. In the early years, there were *** believers in Quanzhou, Guangdong and other places in the Central Plains of our country that crossed the sea from the Arabian Peninsula and arrived in China's Liangguang and Fujian and Zhejiang places through the South Tianzhu, and the Arab departments had detailed charts of east-west navigation. ”

The Arab Empire, known as the Great Food in the Central Plains, was also a heyday empire in the early years, and was defeated by the Flower Thorn Zm, lost a large area of land, and when Genghis Khan went west, he was destroyed by the Mongols successively, and the country was divided into Arab tribes. The Timurid Empire rose to Central Asia and annexed left and right, because they were all Green Christians, and the Arab tribes submitted to the Timurid Empire.

The Arabs were keen on the development of seafaring, as early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Central Plains had "a big food merchant from the sea, trading goods." In the Southern Song Dynasty, Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, a large number of green nobles fled to the Central Plains from the sea before the Arab Empire died, and survived and spread ideas in Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places.

The most famous and well-known is Pu Shougeng, this person was in charge of Quanzhou City for 30 years, and it was also the craziest era when a large number of green disciples poured into the Central Plains.

But the ridiculous thing happened, because of the conflict of religious beliefs, after Kublai Khan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, he led the butcher knife to the head of the green disciples, "Hundreds of thousands of corpses, the river is blocked." "The green disciples in Fujian and Guangdong provinces were almost completely slaughtered, and by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang and Emperor Taizu also had records of slaughtering green disciples.

It can be seen that in the Central Plains back then, the number of these green disciples had reached a terrible number.

The only contribution made by the green disciples to the Central Plains is the extremely developed sea ship, the sea ship technology of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties is so developed, this group of green craftsmen is a great meritorious.

As soon as Ma Sanbao explained this, Zhu Yunwen understood.

He was still wondering why there were African giraffes in Banggara, the feelings were reversed by the Arabs, this group of things was stuck in the middle of Europe, Asia and Africa, but it was convenient to come and go, and what made Zhu Yunwen even more excited was Ma Sanbao's last sentence.

"The Arabian tribes have detailed charts of the east-west voyages!"

A nautical chart to Europe! This is the most valuable treasure of this era!

"This time in Taiwan to suppress bandits, do those red hairy Yi have them in their hands?"

Zheng He shook his head: "The slaves didn't meet them in Taiwan. ”

Taiwan's captives and robbers were all killed by Xue Ke, and there was not even a single hair left.

"The slaves and maids were in the middle of the expedition to the Ryukyus, in the middle of a small island to block this gang of bandits, they are not many in number, only a few more than 30 people, mixed in Luzon, Ryukyu, Wajima and other countries.

The slave and maid interrogated them in the middle of the interrogation of those who had recruited guides from the Arab tribes, and there were no charts, but they said that the Arab tribes did. ”

Be sure to get this chart!

Zhu Yunwen was so excited that he couldn't help himself, stood up and paced back and forth, and suddenly turned to look at Ma Sanbao: "You have made a great contribution this time, I promised before, and I will give you a name when you come back."

You are a native of Yunnan, and in the early years, the local officials of your department were given the surname Zheng and called Zheng Ahei, so you are also surnamed Zheng, how about calling Zheng He? ”

Zheng He was overjoyed at that time and prostrate on the ground.

"Slave and maid, thank the emperor for giving her name."

"The sea disaster has subsided, and I said in my early years that the matter of reopening the sea ban should also be put on the agenda."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Xue Ke and Zheng He, and said in a deep voice: "I have already ordered Longjiang Shipyard, Quanzhou, and Fuzhou Shipyard to speed up the recruitment of people to build big ships. ”

Opening the sea to the south, plundering the wealth of the indigenous people in Southeast Asia and depriving them of their population to supplement the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, this is what Zhu Yunwen really wants to do, trade? That's just talking, Yongle went to the West, the cost was countless times greater than the profit, and how much national strength was spent in exchange for a thousand countries to come to the court, Zhu Yunwen doesn't need this kind of face!

All nations are coming? Zhu Yunwen can't wait for the Ming Dynasty to be the only country in the whole world!

"Obey Your Majesty's Sacred Decree!"
