Zhang Shixing's heart moved after hearing this, this Chen Zuyi was once Lan Yu's subordinate, and Lan Yu died because of Zhu Yunwen, if he knew the identity of himself and his master and other people, he would come to seek revenge, it seems that they can't sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, they must get rid of this person by Zheng He's hand.

He pretended not to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty, and said tentatively: "King Chen, since the King of Yan overthrew Zhu Yunwen and seized the throne. Liangguo Gong Lanyu died because of Zhu Yunwen's ascendancy, so why don't you go to King Yan, you will be reused, and you don't have to leave your hometown to come here. ”

Chen Zuyi took a sip of coconut wine and said with a smile: "You are from Annan, of course you don't understand this." That Yan King Zhu Di became the emperor only after usurping his nephew's throne, and the Lanyu case was an iron case handled by his son Zhu Yuanzhang, how dare he overturn the case. He can't wait to tell the world that I am the orthodox heir of my Lao Tzu, how can I oppose what he Lao Tzu has done, so we don't want to turn over for the rest of our lives, and we will die in this foreign land. ”

After that, Chen Zuyi sighed deeply, and his eyes were a little moist.

Zhang Shixing toasted him with a glass of wine and comforted him: "King Chen, you don't have to be sad, you have become a king overseas, a hundred times stronger than us, we are just a monk and eat together." ”

Chen Zuyi snorted contemptuously and said: "What is good about this broken place, whether you eat or not, whether you wear it or not." All year round, it's still hot to death, much worse than our Chaozhou. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "King Chen, since you have become a king, you can take the opportunity to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and order someone to bring back some special products from your hometown to relieve the pain of homesickness." ”

Chen Zuyi snorted on the ground and said, "That usurper, you want me to pay tribute to him, dream." ”

Zhang Shixing gave a thumbs up and praised: "All the countries of Nanyang paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but King Chen did not surrender to him, and he was really a hero." ”

Chen Zuyi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm not as powerful as you say." Although I pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty on the surface, secretly I am making trouble for him? ”

Zhang Shixingqi said: "How King Chen makes trouble, tell my brother to hear it." ”

Chen Zuyi said: "I told you today, you can't tell outsiders, this is a headless thing." ”

Zhang Shixing nodded and said, "That's nature." I am a monk, I don't pay attention to mundane affairs, I don't talk about right and wrong, King Chen, you and I don't have to deal with it. ”

Chen Zuyi whispered: "I'll tell you a secret. I sent ships to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and each time I sent empty boats. ”

Zhang Shixing said in surprise: "That's not going to pay tribute empty-handed?" Can the Ming Emperor see you? ”

Chen Zuyi laughed and said, "Brother, you don't know anything about this." We went empty-handed, and everyone else went with gifts. Let's rob other people's and then dedicate it to Daming, isn't it. When I came back, I returned with a full reward from the Ming Dynasty, brother, do you think this deal is worth it? ”

Zhang Shixing asked: "Won't the envoy of the robbed country appeal to Daming?" ”

Chen Zuyi said: "Most of the things offered by the Nanyang countries are similar, but they are just some worthless local products. We don't admit it, and that Yongle Emperor can't do anything about us. Originally, he didn't covet our little thing, but hoped that we, the small countries, would give him a show of orthodoxy and cover up his name of usurpation. Brother, you say that you are angry, brother, I made a solemn tributary trip to him, but he was helpless. ”

Zhang Shixing nodded and said, "It's really relieving." ”

After Chen Zuyi finished speaking, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he said weakly: "However, recently, the Yongle Emperor sent a eunuch named Zheng He to go to Nanyang. Fortunately, brother, you came to see me and talk to me, otherwise I would have gone crazy. ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he took advantage of the situation and said: "King Chen, I don't think it's interesting for you to rob those small national tribute ships, and besides, everyone is eating together in one place, and it is easy to ruin your reputation." If you want to do it, you can do it, do you dare to rob the Zheng He fleet, it is said that they are going to come back from the Western Ocean, passing through here, it is full of treasures. If you succeed, you will be able to eat and wear for three lifetimes. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zuyi looked directly at Zhang Shixing and said, "Are you still a monk, you are bolder than me." Do you know how many ships Zheng He's fleet had? They had more than 200 ships and more than 20,000 people. I have poured the strength of the country into more than 50 warships and more than 7,000 soldiers, how dare I go to pick up the tiger's whiskers? ”

Zhang Shixing snorted and said, "I thought that King Chen was a man who stood up to the sky, but who would have thought that he was as timid as a mouse." ”

Chen Zuyi stared at Zhang Shixing meaningfully and said: "You don't have to provoke me, you came all the way and tried your best to push me to attack the Ming army's fleet, what do you have in mind?" Say it! ”

In the end, he slapped the table with a fierce look in his eyes.

With his shot, his guards immediately rushed in and drew their swords at Zhang Shixing.

Zhang Shixing stood up, arched his hand to Chen Zuyi and said: "King Chen, I treat you as a brother, but you treat me as a thief. ”

Then he went out.

Those guards raised their knives and slashed, Zhang Shixing dodged left and right, and after a few rounds, he snatched the steel knives from the hands of those guards and threw them on the ground.

Chen Zuyi clapped his hands on the side and applauded: "What a handsome kung fu." Useless things, don't retreat. ”

When the guards heard the order, they retreated.

Chen Zuyi asked Zhang Shixing to sit down again, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Come, our brothers drink one, and we will accompany you as a brother." ”

Zhang Shixing picked up the wine glass and drank it all, still full of unhappiness.

Chen Zuyi looked at him and said, "No profit, no early." I have always been a cheerful person, brother, you are so enthusiastic about this matter, what do you want to gain from it? You and my brother, when we see each other, what can't we say in person? If you say that you help me selflessly, then brother and I would rather not do this. ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, he finally softened and said, "I'm ashamed to say it." If King Chen can wipe out Zheng He's fleet, he will avenge our Annan people. Second, I want to borrow some troops from King Chen to restore Annam. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zuyi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, you would have said it earlier." This matter has been discussed. ”

Chen Zuyi ordered someone to bring the Nanyang chart, spread it on the table, and discussed with Zhang Shixing how to ambush Zheng He's fleet.

Chen Zuyi said: "When Zheng He's fleet went to the South Seas, I had already found out that although there were many ships, there were many kinds of ships, including treasure ships, horse ships, material ships, boats, and war ships. And the boat operator was originally a master of the river pond, and he was not familiar with the ocean currents for the first time. Therefore, although Zheng He's fleet is strong, we still have a chance to win. I also heard that although Zheng He followed Emperor Yongle to fight the Battle of Jingyan, he had not fought for many years, and he was mainly based on horse infantry, and if he did not practice water warfare, his arrogant army would be defeated. This is also an opportunity for us. ”

Zhang Shixing said: "When Zheng He returned to China, King Chen could invite him to sit in Bolin Country, wait for his fleet to approach the port, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to attack suddenly, which increased our chances of victory. ”

Chen Zuyi said: "Yes, in this way, we have a seventy or eighty percent chance of this battle." ”

After the discussion between the two was completed, Zhang Shixing said goodbye to Chen Zuyi: "It is estimated that this Zheng He will not be able to pass through here in a few months, I will go back to the old port first, and after he comes, I will come here again to help King Chen." ”

Chen Zuyi said: "It takes a lot of time for you to come and go, why don't you just live here, and let's discuss it again and how to deal with that Zheng He." This is a major event to destroy the country, and I have gambled on my life. ”

Zhang Shixing saw that he couldn't refuse, so he said: "I still have a few brothers and sisters in Jiugang Wanshou Temple, I will write a letter to them to report safety." ”

Chen Zuyi waved his hand and said: "No need, such a big event, you can't leak the slightest rumor." You still live here, and when the big thing is over, I will give you more gold and silver property, and then give you 3,000 elite soldiers and 50 warships, so that you can go back to Annam and restore the country. ”

When Zhang Shixing heard this, Chen Zuyi was still not at ease with him, and put him under house arrest before he made a move on Zheng He. Now Zhang Shixing can't exchange news with Jiugang, if Zheng He doesn't know that Chen Zuyi is going to attack him, there is a danger that the whole army will be destroyed.

Although Zhang Shixing was anxious, he still agreed to Chen Zuyi's request on the surface.

In this way, he lived in Bolin Country for more than two months, and finally news came from the sea that Zheng He's fleet had returned from the Western Ocean and was about to pass through Bolin Country in the near future.

Chen Zuyi ordered his subordinate Changshi to write a congratulatory table to Zheng He, and presented him with a gift and invited him to come to Bolin Elementary School to sit.

His words said: "Emperor Fu Cheng Ming believes in the three treasures, builds a pagoda temple, and the school decoration is solemn, all over the country. The four sides are flat, pure and unclean; The platform hall is listed, like the heavenly palace; Magnificent and subtle, unparalleled in the world. When the Holy Lord came out, the four soldiers were fully equipped, and the feather Yi was guided, and they were all over the left and right. All women are beautifully dressed and decorated. The market is rich and full of treasures. The king's law is neat and tidy, and there is no invasion. Apprentices are all coming, and the three are competing. Applying the Fa-rectification, the clouds cover the rain. The four seas circulate and meet all nations. The Yangtze River is wide, and the clear mountains are deep and wide. There is a lot of salty capital, and you can't get rid of it. Yin and yang are harmonious, and disasters are not done. The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, who is in the kingdom of Shang, has great mercy and educates all people. Equality and forbearance, resentment and affection. If you are poor, you have nothing to hide. If you don't shine a candle, it's as bright as the sun; There is no joy in it, just like the pure moon. Zai Fu is virtuous, the ministers are faithful, loyal to them, and have no strange thoughts. Emperor Fu Wei is my true Buddha, Chen Zuyi, the lord of Bolin, and now I salute His Majesty the Emperor, I hope Your Majesty knows my heart. This heart has been around for a long time, and it is not suitable for the present. Mountains and seas are far away, there is no chance to reach it, so now send an envoy to offer Zhubei, ivory and other things, to show this Dan sincerity. We are grateful to the envoy for visiting our country. ”

Not long after, Zheng He replied that he would go to Bolin Kingdom five days later.

Chen Zuyi was overjoyed when he saw the letter, so he gathered his men to ambush in the sea near the port and waited for Zheng He's fleet to arrive.

Five days later, the sea was calm, and a few masts were gradually revealed on the sea surface in the distance, and then more and more, and finally Zheng He's fleet appeared in the field of vision, which was really huge, with many sails, covering the sky and the sun, and waving flags, like floating clouds in the sky. In particular, the treasure ship was dozens of zhang high, and the deck of the ship had four floors, nine masts and twelve sails, cleaving the waves and cutting the waves, like a hill. The bow of the ship is painted with a tiger's head, with a bloody mouth, really like a giant beast on the sea, treading the waves.

Chen Zuyi gasped after seeing it.

Zhang Shixing said tentatively on the side: "King Chen, seeing that this Zheng He's fleet is extraordinary and well-organized, let's stop." ”

Chen Zuyi said horizontally: "The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it." He immediately sent an order to go down and ordered the warships that were lying in ambush nearby to kill Zheng He's fleet. He himself led ten warships out of port.

Zhang Shixing didn't know if Zheng He's fleet had received Shi Jinqing's warning, and secretly sweated for them.
