Li Zhaotong had long expected that in this Ming Dynasty, where the monarchy was supreme, the biggest obstacle to the opening of the sea ban did not come from officialdom, after all, the emperor could be arbitrary.

Otherwise, in Li Zhaotong's "memory", there would be no Longqing switch.

What ancestral system cannot be violated, the emperor really wants to violate, and insists on going his own way, and the ministers have no way to take the emperor's decision, and what should be passed will still be passed.

The biggest obstacle to the opening of the sea ban actually comes from the sea.

The traitorous ministers in the officialdom who are bent on their own have no way to take the emperor, but they still have a way to sink the ships that go to sea legally and make the emperor's decision useless by relying on the strength they have accumulated over the years of engaging in the sea smuggling trade for so many years.

Li Zhaotong had long expected this, so Li Zhaotong had already arranged for Lin Xu, that is, the Nine Days Dao Master of the Shenxiao Sect, Tao Wansan, and the pirates of Uruz Reis, to study artillery.

The Fran cannon is the result of the research of Lin Xu's team.

This Furlong cannon is much more powerful than the Furlong cannon that Uruz Reis had before, because this is an improved version of the system.

Buying this technology didn't cost Li Zhaotong much life, because he already had the manufacturing technology of the Franc cannon, so this improved version of the technology only cost Li Zhaotong three years of life.

It's a good deal.

Now, the eleven ships that went to sea this time were all equipped with Fran cannons and carried a lot of gunpowder, so it can be said that Li Zhaotong was ready to fight the pirates.

Because of the power of firearms, Li Zhaotong made artillery and prepared to load the cannon on the ship, which was specially reported to Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi also knew in his heart that some young people would do disrespectful acts, so at this moment, he specially asked about artillery, which was also a deterrent.

Emperor Hongzhi was a dove-biased person, and in his thoughts, if he could not fight, he would not fight, because war would kill people.

It would be great if it could deter the young people and get along well.

This was one of the wishes of Emperor Hongji.

However, Emperor Hongzhi is a dove, but his son Zhu Houzhao is a full hawk, Zhu Houzhao is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, he wants someone to come to death, and then beat these people to death!

Therefore, when he talked about artillery and pirates, he completely forgot his role as a guide, and began to talk about his strategy and the power of artillery.

This made Emperor Hongzhi's forehead a little black.

However, Emperor Hongzhi did not stop it, because he found that when Zhu Houzhao was speaking, some of the ministers who were following him were a little evasive, and some were even thinking about something.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi hoped that Zhu Houzhao's words would deter these young people.

……

Because this time the ceremony attended by Emperor Hongzhi was to open a new era - the era of great navigation of the Ming Dynasty, so this ceremony, Li Zhaotong is ready to play new tricks.

After all, a new era, a new atmosphere!

In the largest open space of the Global Harbor Wharf, a stage has now been erected, and in front of the stage, there are some seats, which are naturally occupied by Emperor Hongzhi and others.

But this time the ceremony of going to the sea, Li Zhaotong not only invited the emperor, ministers and magnates, but also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and even a very small number of foreigners, as long as they passed the security check of the Ming royal guards, they could come and watch.

——————

However, these people can only watch from the outside of the seat of the horse rejection pile.

Yes, for safety reasons, Emperor Hongzhi's seat periphery was arranged with a circle of horse-rejecting piles, and next to the horse-rejecting pile, every one meter, there was an officer and soldier of the Ming Imperial Guard who was responsible for maintaining order.

Therefore, the safety of Emperor Hongzhi and others can still be guaranteed.

……

Behind the stage.

"Deng Jian, how is the examination? All directions, all carefully checked, right? Are there any omissions? ”

"Young master, everything has been checked clearly, there is no problem."

"Okay! I believe in you and hope you will live up to my trust. ”

"Young master, please rest assured, Deng Jian never dares to be sloppy in his work."

"Okay, then I'll go on stage and get ready to start."

Li Zhaotong picked up the charging horn he brought out from the Daming royal guards and walked to the stage.

"Your Majesty, uncles, welcome to the Global Harbor Terminal, I am Li Zhaotong, Bucai, that is, the little God of Wealth in your mouth, I believe everyone has heard of this name.

After the end of the performance, His Majesty will personally announce and award the flag to the captain of the "Little Zhu Xiucai Dog", and the "Little Zhu Xiucai Dog" as the flagship, leading the first fleet after the opening of the Ming Dynasty - the Ming Maritime Fleet, going to Korea and the Japanese Kingdom to carry out trade activities.

Now, please start enjoying the performance. ”

Under the watchful eye, Li Zhaotong quickly retreated from the stage, and then, he turned on the switch of the speaker under the stage, and suddenly, the passionate music sounded.

This music, called "He's a pirate", the Chinese translation is "He is a pirate", this majestic symphony, as the background music of Pirates of the Caribbean, in later generations hundreds of years, often used as the background song of the army and the organization of movies and animations.

Because of this tune, it gives people a passionate and enterprising spirit, and hundreds of years later, Yang Ma still used this music in the 512 earthquake.

Li Zhaotong believes that it is very appropriate for this symphony to be released now.

Anyway, it was pure music, with no lyrics, and even if it was almost completely different from the music of the Ming Dynasty, no one would consider it to be music composed by a Gentiles.

"Prince, what is the name of this song, when I listen to it, why do I feel that my heart is full of blood and passion? I feel better when I listen to this song than when I listen to "King Qin's Breaking Array Music". ”

"Yes, Your Highness, what kind of tune is this? Lao Chen feels that the musical instruments used in this piece are something that I don't have in the Ming Dynasty! It's like a ...... No! It's played on a very different instrument. ”

"Master Liu is really amazing, this piece is indeed not played with my Daming instrument, and even, the instrument that plays this piece, I Daming doesn't have it!

The instrument that played this piece, as well as this piece, and even the speaker that emitted sound that the palace introduced to you before, were all obtained by Li Zhaotong from the sage Lao Tzu. ”

"Sage Lao Tzu?!"

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise:

"Doesn't that mean it's a fairy music?"

"Father, what kind of fairy music is there in the world! A saint is not an immortal, this is a very beautiful song, the name is "He is a sailor"! ”

Zhu Houzhao is not wrong, now this song has been renamed "He is a Sailor" by Li Zhaotong, after all, "He is a Pirate" is not good after all, these people have never seen the Pirates of the Caribbean, and they don't know the Pirates of the Caribbean, so if Li Zhaotong uses his original name, isn't this praising the pirates?

After the performance, the Daming maritime fleet with the "Little Zhu Xiucai Dog" as the flagship is ready to go to sea to fight the pirates!

How does this work?

Therefore, Li Zhaotong changed the title of the song to "He is a Sailor".

Anyway, this is pure music, and it doesn't depend on his mouth to decide what to name.

However, the word sailor is unfamiliar to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi, too, was stunned and asked Zhu Houzhao:

"He's a sailor? What is a sailor? ”

Zhu Houzhao organized the language and replied:

"A sailor is an ordinary crew member on a ship, and it is also one of the basic positions that he does after he gets on board, and he is the support staff for the daily operation and work of the deck department.

Their main responsibilities are:

1. The helmsman during navigation and berthing, and assisting in lookout;

2. Unmooring with unmooring when berthing;

3. Understand the use of various marine signal lights and signal flags;

Fourth, the specific operation of daily maintenance and warranty of the deck department;

5. Lifting and unloading ship cranes and switch cabin operations;

6. Safe retraction and release of diversion ladders and gangways;

7. Understand the weaving and use of various knots and the insertion of steel wires.

In short, sailors are one of the indispensable and important positions on the ship, and they are also the positions with the largest number of people on board, they are very important, so Li Zhaotong first arranged to play this song to inspire these sailors to be brave in their future sailing career, not afraid of wind and waves, bravely move forward, and create a better future for my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Well said!"

The song "He is a Pirate" is really exciting to listen to, and now Zhu Houzhao said it so well, Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't hold back and gave him a long-term compliment.

This made Zhu Houzhao smile, and then the goods began to get carried away:

"Father, the next show is also related to sailors, Li Zhaotong originally wanted to put this show in the back, but Erchen felt that since it was also related to sailors, it would be better to put it together."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

The symphony "He's a Pirate" is actually very short, only a little more than a minute, so the playback can end soon, but in order to extend the time, in order to let the people who are shocked by this song hear it clearly, he arranged to play it three times.

But three times is only a little more than four minutes, so "He's a Pirate" ends quickly.

Li Zhaotong walked up from the backstage, he was the host of the performance.

There is no way, although Daming can find the host, but the host of Daming may not be able to host the style of performance that Li Zhaotong wants, so Li Zhaotong himself went on.

"Your Majesty, uncles, is this song "He is a Sailor" good just now?"

Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting in the seat, and Liu Jian, naturally did not respond, they still needed to maintain their image and be reserved.

But the people outside the horse stake can't control so much.

Where had these people ever heard such beautiful music, so they immediately shouted excitedly:

"Sounds good!"

"That's so good!"

"Would you like to do it again?"

"Yes! I haven't heard enough yet, little God of Wealth, you come again! ”

……

There are all kinds of replies, in short, these people want to listen to it again, but Li Zhaotong is not used to these people, he has a careful arrangement for the performance time.

Every show has a time set, if the time is too long, or short, this requires Li Zhaotong to control the scene, and he must ensure that the performance ends at the moment when the auspicious time comes.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Li Zhaotong wants to go in person, others can't do him to control the time so accurately.

As for why he made sure that the auspicious time came just right at the end of the show?

That's a big deal.

The major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong!

This sentence is not just talking, this sentence is deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone dare not joke about it.

Because it involves the gods!

In this society, including Li Zhaotong, there are no complete materialists, the status of the gods is very high!

No one wants to offend the gods!

Because they really think that gods exist, they just can't see them!

It's not the kind of time in later generations when I couldn't see the gods and I thought they didn't exist!

In this era, the gods are invisible, but everyone thinks that the gods exist.

Therefore, who dares to anger the gods?

It is estimated that even Zhu Houzhao, an iron-headed baby, would not dare!

Therefore, in terms of time, Li Zhaotong must control it well!

He wanted to control the moment when the auspicious time came, and handed over the stage to Li Dongyang, and at that time, it was the beginning of the ceremony that really belonged to the current Daming!

Therefore, how could Li Zhaotong, who wants to control time, get used to those onlookers?

Even if the seats, including Emperor Hongzhi, showed an unfinished look, Li Zhaotong would not get used to it.

Otherwise, replaying "He's a Pirate" will lead to the result that either a show will be removed later, or it will be delayed at an auspicious time!

It is impossible to delay the auspicious time, and only by removing other programs can this performance be maintained.

However, every program of this performance was carefully arranged by Li Zhaotong, and every program was like his child, and he couldn't bear to cut any of them.

Therefore, he chose to ignore the needs of the audience and continue the show.

"It's good to hear! Again, forget it, because this is just the beginning, and I am here to assure you that the next show will be more exciting, so please don't get excited, calm down, and enjoy the next show, Mariner! ”

As soon as Li Zhaotong's voice fell, he retreated.

Then, a man came up from the edge of the stage, and behind the man, followed by a pair of women.

The appearance of men did not cause anything.

However, when the group of women behind the man appeared, the audience was a sensation!

Because the dress of these women, under the current social customs of the Ming Dynasty, is completely unethical! Even those prostitutes in the Daming brothel probably wouldn't wear like this!

Because they're wearing sailors' suits!
