"Alliance leader, that Zhu Di has already sent troops from the capital to get you, this is the earliest secret soldier in the Jinyi Guard to use the same shock device to send a message." Zhao Qing bowed and saluted Shang Yu and said.
"Brother Zhao, it seems that the day when we leave the Central Plains has arrived, fortunately, I have built a settlement place on the southern islands, and most of the craftsmen have been transported away, six of the eight giant boats have traveled so far, only these two remain, order 10,000 people to board the ship, and send some silver taels to the shipwrights who were selected to stay with the Central Plains, Zhu Di will not even kill the last craftsman, he just wants to make my merchant alliance leave, as he wishes!"
Shang Yu laughed loudly and said this, but there was a trace of unbearable meaning in his eyes, for Quanzhou, he devoted more than 20 years of effort but still could not restore the prosperity of the year, the so-called destruction is easy and difficult to rebuild, has been diverted to the coastal ports and round-trip ships are difficult to return to the world's largest port in just 20 years, this is Shang Yu's biggest regret.
Zhu Di was really unwilling to become an outdated uncle as Liu Xingbao said, and actually forced his nephew Zhu Yunwen out of Nanjing, but Zhu Yunwen was in a main cabin above Shang Yu's flagship at this time, and Shang Yu was also in this cabin.
"Mr. Shang, I, oh! The poor monk Ying Wen was not interested in the throne for a long time, and once signaled to my fourth uncle that day that he wanted to give up the throne alone, but he suspected that I was tempting him, and was almost stabbed to death by the killers he sent out. A young man with a dejected face slowly stood up from the bed and said.
"Yunwen, it's rare that you have such a mind, and you can still trust me, the leader of the Shang Alliance, tens of thousands of people in the Shang Alliance are scattered on the main islands of the South Seas, and Shang Yu wants to clear the territory of dozens of pirates in the sea frontier within ten years, and if there is a chance, he will kill the Japanese country, then he can protect the people of my Central Plains from being disturbed forever." Shang Yu saw that Zhu Yunwen had no emperor posture at this time, so he couldn't help but nod approvingly and said.
"Mr. Shang, when I was young, my grandfather once told me that the most respectful person in this life is Mr. Shang, you are a god, these thousands of feet long giant ships can be made, and most of them are made of steel, this is simply a miracle. You are the same as my imperial grandfather, but you look younger than me, and the monk Yingwen hereby once again thanks you for saving your life. Zhu Yunwen was already dizzy and crying when he said this.
"Yunwen, don't cry! In terms of his ability to govern the rivers and mountains, he is more shrewd than my eldest brother, as can be seen by his gradual retrieval of military power from the hands of the kings. To give the fief tax system, but to take back the military power, when the power is great, and sweep away the obstacles of the world, the Ming Dynasty will never have a problem in his hands, but the Ministry of Rites Li Zhigang proposed to move the capital to Beijing is a big mistake, if there are generals in the future hundreds of miles away to rebel, it will be extremely dangerous, but at present he should not have a problem, hey! I'm too worried! When he said this, Shang Yu, who was still in his twenties, sighed, but there was a sense of vicissitudes on his face.
Turning his head, Shang Yu said to Zhao Qing, who was stunned: "Zhao Qing, why don't you go and order the people of my Shang Alliance to board the ship?" If the Democratic Party is late, it may affect Qionghai and make it difficult for him. ”
"Yes, Alliance Master! I'll go right away. Zhao Qing listened to the conversation between Shang Yu and Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen in a daze, he was originally a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, although he was clear about the fratricidal matter within the royal family, but after listening to Zhu Yunwen's words, he was still stunned for a while, and after hearing Shang Yudi's words, he realized that it was already a critical moment.
After Zhao Qing left, Shang Yu said: "Yunwen, if you rely on the power of our business alliance to take the country, but there is no power to govern, the righteous army has been killing for decades to recover my Han country, and the people's hearts can be restored to the people's livelihood, Brother Zhu thinks for the people after he becomes the emperor, this is not what any businessman in the business alliance can do." This is also the reason why the business alliance has been loyal to the royal family for thousands of years. ”
"As for Zhou Qionghai, he is the designated person we left to defend the emperor, he has now left Jinyi Wei and become the commander of the forbidden army, I must not embarrass him, since Zhu Di just wants to make my business alliance disappear, then we will all go to sea." While speaking, Shang Yu ignored Zhu Yunwen anymore, turned around and walked out.
"It turns out that the business alliance does not want to take the world and get it, all because of the responsibility and the people's will is difficult to take into account, how can a businessman be an emperor, think that if the emperors of the past dynasties were rich, their throne and dynasty fortune will not last long, and especially in the Sui Dynasty." Although Zhu Yunwen was not suitable to be an emperor, he had good knowledge, and he began to mumble to himself after Shang Yu walked out of the cabin.
When Shang Yu stepped out of the cabin, 10,000 people and hundreds of carriages in front of him were slowly entering the two huge ships.
"Saving Zhu Yunwen and going to sea to clear pirates this time is my wish for the rest of my life." Shang Yu raised his eyes to look north, but he muttered in his mouth.
"Xianggong, Shang Wan'er and Shang Long, the two children, I miss them very much, and I don't know how they are doing on Zhouji Island in the South Seas?" Xiang Lan'er's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Those two children are taken care of by the fourth brother, there should be no problem! I'm just afraid that my mother is nearly eighty years old, and we will go to sea later, so you don't have to worry! The bread outside this huge ship is covered with iron sheets, and the wood is only an illusion, and the giant ship will be fine if it encounters tens of feet of huge waves. Shang Yu looked back at Xiang Lan'er.
Although Xiang Lan'er is already a woman in her fifties, she is still as young as Shang Yu, and Shang Yu's Qi Huang maintenance techniques seem to have been applied to his wife.
"Xianggong, when will you go back to the Central Plains this time?" Xiang Lan'er asked in tears at this time.
"Lan'er, how small is this world? The Master said that at the right opportunity, when someone would take us to a place of great beauty, which is called the Extreme Realm, from where we could see that the place under our feet was nothing more than a blue sphere hanging in the air, and the sun in the sky was nothing more than a slightly larger ball of fire. Shang Yu hugged Xianglan'er and said, the sea breeze blew, and a fishy and salty smell hit again.
"How can you say so scary, the ground under your feet is lifted up by giant tortoises, all soaked in water, and the sun in the sky is the son of the Jade Emperor, how can you tell those strange words back then to coax me?" Xianglan'er still said in disbelief.
While he was speaking, all the chariots and horses were already on board. ’
"Alliance leader, everyone has boarded the ship, when will you leave?" Zhao Qing ran to Shang Yu and saluted and asked.
"Don't worry, do you see the flying smoke brought up by the horses in the distance? When Feiyan arrives at the port and then sets off to pull the anchor, I will ask Qionghai to bring a few words to Zhu Di. ”
"Yes, Alliance Leader!"
