It was sunny and windless for many days. There is a mist in the early morning air, and as long as you wait for the sun to come out, this light fog will disappear, and today is destined to be a clear and bright day.

When the eunuch Zheng He walked out of Longjiang Temple, he had fasted here for three days and three nights, and he only ate vegetarian and recited Buddhist scriptures every day.

Longjiang Temple is very small and not very famous, and there are not even a few monks. However, it is located at the foot of the Lion Rock outside Fengyi Gate, close to the Longjiang Shipyard, the newly built Bao Shipyard, Longjiang Port and the Dajiang River; Therefore, Zheng He, who held the emperor's holy decree, deigned to live in this broken temple.

In the midst of the hugs, the eunuchs Zheng He, Hou Xian, and Wang Jinghong walked towards the mountain gate. Many officials and generals came over, and everyone shook each other and exchanged pleasantries for a while.

When the temple gate was opened, the first rays of morning sun shone out from the door, covering the quaint gatehouse with a layer of streamers.

The white mist flows through the air and gradually drifts away. People looked up, and a behemoth on the surface of the river was breaking through the fog and slowly moving eastward.

"Ah......h

On the surface of the river, the huge sails are as high as the clouds, as if covering the small half of the sky, higher than the pagoda, and bigger than the city tower.

When it passed through the fog and showed its posture in front of people's eyes, I saw it elegantly cocked at both ends, the hull arc was wonderful, and its demeanor was calm and atmospheric, just like the posture of the rising king of the empire!

The squire of the Ministry of Works next to him was so excited that his face turned red and said, "She is twice as big as Fengtian Temple!" Before the shipyard was built, my colleagues had many disputes, because they didn't dare to build it! Later, the official specially wrote a letter to ask for an edict on this matter, and after obtaining the permission of the saint, the construction began. ”

The other person next to him also said that it was like a treasure, "This treasure ship is forty-four feet long and four feet (more than 100 meters), 18 zhang wide, has nine masts and twelve sails, can carry thousands of soldiers, and must be 200 people can not drive." ”

"When the imperial court recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build ships on the seas, the shipbuilding drawings drawn alone filled dozens of boxes and filled an entire room in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry. It's a tall ship, but it's beautifully built, sturdy and sturdy enough to withstand the storms and waves! ”

"Countless officials have summarized the classics of their predecessors, the gains and losses of sea navigation, visited the world, and collected all the ancient and modern techniques. Zhu Ya Bureau, Nanzhen Fu Division together to create a large and small compass, log, sounder and other more than 100 kinds, after going to sea will use the star pulling, needle road and other ingenious techniques to guide the way, can ensure this feat of a hundred dense and no negligence. ”

"This is the culmination of the sea ships of the past dynasties since Yao Shunyu!"

The household officials complained inophistically, "Since the Holy Majesty ordered the construction of sea ships, the expenditure of the state treasury has exceeded five times that of the Hongwu Dynasty when the imperial city was built......"

A group of people walked to the river one after another, Zheng He looked at the river, and saw the vast and wide river, which was already covered with ships, and the countless flags and huge sails made people amazed.

Zheng He crossed his waist and stood on the riverbank with his head held high, looking at the giant ship on the river for a long time, and he felt a lot of emotion in his chest, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

When he looked back at the Jingshi in the east, the pagoda, the pavilion, and the city tower were all frozen in the light and shadow of the rising sun, echoing with the magnificent scene on the river, which was the majestic scenery of a strong dynasty, which made people fascinated.

All this is not the credit of him Zheng He alone, with the blood and sweat of hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and servants, and the hard work of many officials and capable people; There are 30,000 soldiers, civil officials, eunuchs, and merchants on the journey to begin...... However, Zheng He knew that from this moment on, his name would inevitably be written into history and would be passed down for thousands of years.

The eunuch Hou Xian next to him was also trusted by the emperor, but in the end Zheng He got the title of "envoy" in charge of this matter. Zheng He keenly felt that this was not a matter of power, but a name that could not be found! How many heroes and heroes have been there for thousands of years? The world can't remember the names of so many people. This feat is good for most people to remember one Zheng He.

So Zheng He was so agitated that he couldn't even say a sharp word, his face was as red as a pig's liver, and his eyes were round.

At this moment, Zheng He suddenly felt that power, wealth, and even life and death did not seem to be so important.

For the emperor for giving him this opportunity, Zheng He's heart was full of endless gratitude. The feat accomplished by the hundreds of millions of trillions of people in the entire Ming Dynasty gave Zheng He the most prominent glory.

…… Zheng He stood by the river for two hours, even his legs were numb, his face was blown black by the river wind, and he was still unwilling to leave.

Zheng He felt that the whole person was different at this time, and a feeling of permeability of the Daigo empowerment meridians surged throughout his body, and he thought that his vision had risen to a certain height.

He was no longer a eunuch, but a wise man.

In his long contemplation, he thought a lot.

At first, when the emperor decided to order the construction of sea ships, there were many secret rumors in the palace that the emperor suspected that Emperor Jianwen had run away to sea, and the emperor wanted to send someone to find Jianwen. However, now that Emperor Jianwen's crown princes are all dead, there is still no regret or hesitation in this matter, so Zheng He does not think that the emperor's mind is only in one Jianwen.

Zheng He remembered that at the beginning of the Annan incident, the emperor seemed to have decided to use troops against Annan, and I am afraid that it has nothing to do with maintaining the etiquette system of the succession of kings in various countries...... Coupled with the matter of navigation, Zheng He faintly speculated about the ambition of the emperor, or the land and sea of the entire south!

The world is not the king's land, and the emperor wants to include the places that his eyes can see into the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and become a great emperor in ancient times.

The anguish of the household officials digging out their minds, the blood and tears of hundreds of millions of people being snatched by cunning, the bitter exhortations of the officials, and the bones of soldiers all over the world...... For such a great cause, nothing can stop the emperor's determination, and he vows to shine the majesty of the Ming Dynasty on the four seas and thousands of years.

Zheng He finally left the riverside. In the past few days, he has visited all the gods, the Buddha, the Jade Emperor, Mazu, Sunni, and Cross.

There is no room for mistakes in this trip, and it is not at all something that Zheng He's life can afford alone; It's not his business alone, he just happened to be appointed by the emperor as the chief envoy, there is no Zheng He, and Hou Xian, Wang Jinghong and so on...... Zheng He didn't care what he believed, after all, tens of thousands of people in the fleet believed in anything. He hoped to be protected by the gods of the four directions and successfully complete the emperor's errand.

At this time, the Beijing division was paying attention to the voyage of the Ming fleet, and the 30,000 people who wanted to accompany him were also busy preparing. People carry not only artillery guns, strong bows and crossbows, but also all kinds of Ming products, hoping to communicate with foreign people from afar. There were also officials in the crowd who were proficient in agriculture and animal husbandry, and wanted to bring back new livestock and seeds. At that time, the Han Dynasty sent people to the Western Regions to get a lot of seeds, which was also something that the Ming court valued.

Everyone in the world is talking about the Daming sea ship traveling far away, and at this time, Chen Tianping's departure from Jingshi seems to be a little neglected.
