"Your Majesty. I ......"

"Grandpa. The master was the best candidate, and he often told me that when I went out to sea all the way to the west, there was a beautiful place, where the women were as black as ink. Turn off the lights at night and see no one. There is also a skin color like snow, which is crystal clear and can see the white bones in the body. ”

I, Nima, are you going to kill yourself? When did Lao Tzu say that the white bones can be seen, that is a metaphor, and the metaphor is not understood.

<4 When did I say that the white bones can be seen in the skin of the woman over there.

seems to be a good explanation, but looking at Wu Di and Wu Gaochi. Yao Guangxiao's eyes were squinting, and he immediately stepped forward when he secretly screamed that it was not good; "Your Majesty, don't listen to this little rabbit. Nothing. ”

Wu Zhanji had already come to Wu Di and pinched his shoulder; "Grandpa Huang, the conscience of heaven and earth, he said it. He also said that the women over there had blue eyes and yellow hair, and the key was that they all had long legs. ”

I, Nima, what good will it do you if I'm gone, and can you go to the Qinglou happily.

"You go for a trip, Jianwen, this little bastard, is also your Jinyi Wei in charge, this time you go to explore the way first. Next time, you tell one of them about your experience and let them go. ”

Well-intentioned, Gongsun Jian looked at Wu Di with a serious face; "Your Majesty, I'm leaving, how can you go to the Qinglou. I can't ......."

"We will be responsible for the affairs of the Qinglou, less than you, more than you won. Brother-in-law, you can go hard, and by the way, bring the blue-eyed and yellow-haired woman over for us to take a look. ”

"yes, that's the point." Wu Di is very sure.

There is nothing to say, if you continue to talk, I am afraid that Wu Di will let himself go to the vegetable market.

"Okay, I'll go, but I have two conditions, and if I don't agree to these two conditions, I won't go."

On the European side, although there is a certain amount of chaos at present, there are also several powerful countries, ocean voyages, who can guarantee that there will be no conflict with the other side at that time, so the army must be brought, the best is the Shenji Battalion and part of the 3,000 Battalion, and they will not suffer losses when they fight.

This is number one. Second, as soon as he left, Yao Guangxiao was in Jiming Temple, and there were only a few goods left by the prince's side. These people are not scheming enough, and I am afraid that they will not be able to deal with this little bastard Wu Gaoxu. Let him be in Yingtian, he is not at ease, the best way is to take him with him, and he will not be able to deal with the chaos when the time comes.

This is not something that can be done in a year or two.

"Okay, I promise you, in addition, you will also bring my grandson, I am not at ease with those masters now."

Going to go.

The 2,000 people of the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion had already set off for Guangzhou ahead of schedule yesterday, under the leadership of Wu Gaoxu, to join the sailors stationed there, and Gongsun Jian did not leave in a hurry because he still had some things to prepare.

Jin Yiwei, as soon as he left, was temporarily accepted by Yao Guangxiao, and Li Qing was transferred back from Beiping to assist.

This place. He didn't allow anyone to meddle.

After the dispatch order was issued, Ji Gang, who was rushing back, was immediately sent to Guangzhou to wait. Gongsun returned home in vain.

Several women are reluctant. After all, it will take a few years to be able to meet this time.

But the emperor's order is difficult to do. A lot of things are not done by yourself. The family sat down peacefully and had a meal. Gongsun Jian immediately entered the room.

To go to sea, there must be nautical charts. With the current level of knowledge controlled by Da Zhou, he doesn't know what a nautical chart is. He had to draw a map of the world and a nautical chart.

As a special soldier, these things are in his mind. He is familiar with every island on the earth, and he is familiar with every port.

Even the proportions, the routes, are clear.

Get it all done. Gongsun Jian immediately found a magnet. Make a compass. If you don't have this thing at sea, you're completely blind.

Three days later, everything was ready, and after Xiu'er went to the prince's mansion to call Wu Zhanji, Gongsun Jian immediately set off from the waterway, and followed his ocean-going fleet along the way, and went south directly after passing Songjiang Mansion, and then set off again and came to Guangzhou Mansion after resting for a day in Quanzhou.

For the first large-scale voyage, the sailors were quite well prepared, and according to Gongsun Jian's instructions, fire cannons were installed on both sides of the ship's side. This batch of artillery was made by the Great Zhou Firearms Division according to its own proportions, smaller than the artillery of the land battle, and placed on the wheels, so as to reduce his recoil, but also to be able to shoot from the side and drag back to place explosives.

The documents for ocean transactions were handed down to the world, and the government was in charge of the ships, and merchants could accompany them. This naturally caused a sensation.

Gongsun Jian, who had a budget of 30 ships, could only take more than 50 ships to board the ship and head south in the early morning of December 11, the second year of Yongle, after saying goodbye to the officials who came to send him.

"My lord, shall we go in the direction of Annam, along the coastline to the west?" Zhao Ning, the chief soldier of the water division, strode over to Gongsun Jian, who was in charge of the plenipotentiary minister this time, and asked.

Gongsun Jian glanced at this typical Cantonese man and raised his hand slightly; "No, that would be a waste of our time, he saw that Zhao Ning was full of doubts, and went to the deck on the second floor to lay out the nautical chart;" From here, we go down into the islands of the South China Sea, and after turning back to the west, passing through this narrow strait, we enter a vast ocean, where, after we have been replenished and traded, we are going west. ”

"My lord, what are you? Why did my subordinates never see it? ”

What the hell did you see this ghost, this is something hundreds of years later, of course you haven't seen it, although this is the case in your heart, but Gongsun Vain still found a reason to say that this is his Gongsun Jia's ancestor used to be a businessman and made a fortune, and he once traveled all over the world. That's what we had.

Zhao Ning did not doubt it, but handed the aura to a general on the side; "Give the order, and the fleet sails south."

The current naval division of the Great Zhou is not lagging behind, and this kind of big ship alone can be more than 100 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, with three layers and five or six masts.

The huge fleet, led by the flagship of the naval division, hoisting the Great Sunday Moon Star Banner and the Gongsun Jianshuai Banner, marched south for five days and arrived at an island.

Looking at the green people and the golden sand beach above, Gongsun Jian, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea, looked at Wu Zhanji, who was squatting on the side; "Boy, do you know what to do now?"

Wu Zhanji shook his head slightly with sweat; "I don't know, master, are you lonely, my second uncle brought the singer this time. You see

syllable

Gongsun Jian smashed the lid of the teacup over; "I'm not at the point where I can't sleep without women. You see that the island does not belong to any one at the moment, and you say, since it is a place where there is no one, who does it belong to? ”

"Of course it's my big week." Wu Zhanji reacted.

Well, the son can be taught, Gongsun Jian smiled and raised his hand slightly, Zhao Ning strode over and gave his hand; "What does the marshal command?

What is the order, it is natural to go up and swear sovereignty.

Since there is no one, then what are you polite about, first show your attitude, this place is from Da Zhou, and whoever dares to rob him in the future will be beaten.

"You led the army to be carved in the past, go up in a small boat, get a stone tablet for me to stand in a conspicuous place, and write on it for me, the territory of the Great Zhou is sacred and inviolable."

Zhao Ning nodded, let the fleet approach the direction of the island, and finally stopped advancing, and led more than a hundred soldiers to go up in a small boat for more than an hour, and then returned again and headed south again.

In this way, when you arrive at the big island, you have to go up and erect a monument to show the attitude of the Great Zhou, if it is small, it will be written that it is visible to the naked eye and cannot be seen for fifty miles, which is under the jurisdiction of our Great Zhou, and all countries are not allowed to enter at will.

After a month of wandering in the South China Sea, after making sure that almost nothing had been missed, Gongsun Jian looked at the charts and immediately sent the fleet westward to prepare to arrive in Malacca in the future.

Malacca is not currently a British colony, the current Britain seems to be in the midst of a civil war, and there is also a country in Malacca at the moment, called Manchurian.

Manchurian Thorn can only be regarded as a small country, occupying the eastern part of the two islands.

"My lord, I found a fishing boat ahead, flying an unknown flag, and I was signaling it, but the general couldn't understand it." Just after lunch that day, Zhao Ning ran in from outside and shouted.

I don't understand, I'm afraid it's a new country, Gongsun Jian asked Wu Zhanji to find the guide and then went to the deck and looked ahead.

Of course, in the eyes of his own fleet, this fleet is really a fishing boat, and it is not even as big as the cargo ship that transports goods behind it.

Wu Zhanji and Wu Gaoxu thought of finding it.

The reason why I found a guide was not because I was afraid of losing my way, but because I was worried that the language barrier would affect communication. This thought is that the people of Annam often come to these places.

He looked at it for a moment and fell to his knees; "My lord, that's the sailor of the Manchurian Nation, saying that we have entered their territory and hope we can leave."

Leave, Lao Tzu wants to pass from here, you let me leave, Gongsun Jian snorted coldly and pointed to the guide; "You should know their flag language. Tell them that my Great Zhou Empire is trading with strong friendships, not enemies. Let them rest assured. Let's get into the port. ”

The guide groaned and went to the watchtower, and after a moment, he came back with a depressed face; "They don't agree, if they go forward again, they have to attack."

Don't give face.

Wu Zhanji heard that the other party disagreed. came to Gongsun Jian; "Master, people don't agree, what should we do?"

What to do. Cold dressing, Gongsun Jian looked at Zhao Ning; "Lead the ship and destroy them, I still don't believe it, under my Da Zhou artillery, they don't sing and dance or something."

Two ships with three guns rushed out and swung out on the side, accompanied by the roar of artillery, it seemed to be the sailors of the fishing boats, and the beaten Baotou fled. In less than a quarter of an hour, seven seven or eight have been lost. The rest are being evacuated in the direction of the port.

"The Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion listened to the order, accompanied the sailors, and occupied the port." Gongsun Jian took out the order and gave the order.

This thorny combat effectiveness was vulnerable, and the 3,000 battalions, under the cover of the artillery of the naval division, quickly landed, and the subsequent 3,000 men of the naval division immediately rushed forward and cooperated

With the three tractions, the 2,000 Manchurian troops stationed here were completely annihilated, and their black national flag was still on the ground, replaced with the Great Zhou national flag.

"Master, is it really good for us to do this?" Looking at the battlefield where the smoke had not completely subsided and the corpses strewn across the streets, Wu Zhanji was a little unbearable.

What's in it?

Gongsun Jian snorted coldly; "Don't pretend to be kind here, I can tell you unambiguously that we are here with kindness, but the best way to communicate is when kindness has no effect. Then it can only be the army and artillery. Good intentions must be there, but the sticks in the hands are not ornaments. ”

"That is, if you are obedient and have candy to eat, if you don't listen to stick to eat, how can you look the same as your father, hypocrisy." Wu Gaoxu was on the side. Let Gongsun Jian nodded; "That's right, that's probably what it means."

The port was occupied. After receiving the news, the king hurriedly asked his crown prince to apologize and confess his guilt and lead a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the hope of forgiving their ignorance and offending the Celestial Empire.
