On the third day of the second lunar month, Yang Zai and Wang Shuyun set out from the capital to go to the western capital of Annan as the second wave of envoys to Annam this year.

It will take more than ten days from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the capital of Annan at the earliest, and the round trip will be more than 20 days, plus the time for Hu Jichen, Chen Xi and others to think, and it will take more than a month to receive his answer at the earliest.

So during this time, Yunxi didn't wait for Annan's reply in the capital, and officially began to implement the things that had been conceived before.

On the sixth day of the first month of February, Yunxi officially issued a posthumous order, posthumously sealing his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying as the king of Han, and decided to move him to the vicinity of Xiaodongling, called the tomb of the king of Han.

At the same time, Yun Xi announced that Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, was called Yang, called King Tan Yang, and was listed in the Fengxian Hall for worship.

But Yun Xi's posthumous people are far inferior to the two of them. Yunxi is like the Manchu Qing Dynasty chasing Guan Yu, posthumously sealing Yue Fei as the emperor, calling the loyal and righteous god Wu Ling Youren Yongwei Xianyue Shengdi, adding the name of Martial Saint, and unofficially listing Yue Fei as a saint with Confucius.

Yunxi is actually very strange, why the emperor in the early years of the Ming Dynasty did not posthumously seal Yue Fei in history, and it was not until the later period that Shenzong and Sizong (Emperor Chongzhen) added Yue Fei. It stands to reason that Yue Fei is like this, not only can he fight, but he is also very loyal to the Song family, and he has not resisted until he dies, that is, loyal and brave people should be praised.

In addition, Yunxi also crowned Mazu as the concubine, saying that the protector of the country and the people, Miao Lingzhao Ying Hongren Puji Concubine, built the Mazu Temple in the capital.

At the same time, Yunxi asked the real people of Taoism to list Mazu as one of the righteous gods of Taoism, and the rank was not low, so as to unite the large number of people who believed in Mazu in the Nanyang area at this time.

In addition, Yun Xi also added several people successively, all of whom were very famous in the previous generation and were mythologized after being mythologized, and they were also good for consolidating the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

After the sealing had passed, Yoon-hee ordered preparations for the final discovery trip to begin. It was already the middle of February, and the weather was about to warm up, so it was time to prepare for a trip to the Fuso Islands - Kuril Islands - Jinning (Kamchatka) - Corridor Islands (Aleutian Islands) to discover the Americas.

At the beginning of March, when the weather was completely warm, Yun Xi ordered Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and set out from Liujiagang on the fifth day of the third month, heading to the opposite side of the sea at this time.

The day before departure, Yun Xi summoned Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, in the palace, and finally said to him: "Twelfth uncle, are you still willing to go to the other side of the sea at this time, and if there is suitable land for living on the other side, you will be crowned there as the vassal king?" ”

"What, can I still regret it at this time?" Zhu Bai said in surprise: "I've been preparing for such a long time, and I'm going to leave tomorrow, can I still regret it?" ”

"Of course the twelfth uncle can regret it," Yun Xi said with a smile, "But the nephew will definitely be the prince for a long time, and let him go to the other side of the sea to be the vassal king." ”

Although Yun Xi was joking, Zhu Bai could understand the threat in it, and laughed dryly twice as if it were a situation, and then stopped talking.

Yun Xi said to him again: "I have asked all the ships and soldiers of the Naval Guard who have sailed in the north to participate in this voyage. Although you are the prince and the commander of this trip, you must not interfere with Fang Mingqian's command. You have never commanded a sailor, let alone seen the sea in a very cold place in the north, and rashly interfering with Fang Mingqian's command is likely to cause unnecessary losses, so you must remember it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. I know. Although Zhu Bai was not very happy when he heard this, he also agreed.

However, Yun Xi was not particularly relieved, and secretly said in his heart: "After letting Zhu Bai retreat, give Fang Mingqian a secret decree, so that he does not have to listen to Zhu Bai's words when sailing on the water." ’

Yun Xi then took out the map again, and while using a pencil to draw on the map, he instructed: "The route of your trip is to start from Liujiagang, get some vegetables and meat on Jeju Island, and then go to Nagasaki and Yokohama. ”

"Since you're going to Yokohama, it's obvious that you're taking the sea route off the coast of Fuso, so why did you choose this sea route?" Zhu Bai asked.

"First, Fuso's place on the coast of the Yongming Sea is mountainous, and there is no suitable place for supply; Secondly, I have recently been shipping some items to the port of Yokohama, just in time for your fleet to escort along the way. Yun Xi said.

"After resting from Yokohama for a few days, you should continue north, and you should still be able to get supplies in Minami Inudi. But there is no place to get supplies after here, so you must rest here for a few more days, repair all the broken ships, and all the soldiers are well nourished before setting out. ”

"If a soldier is sick, leave them in the southern Ainu, and the North Sea Division will pass through the southern Ainu every year, so you don't have to worry about what will happen to the sailor."

"You'll arrive in Jinning about June, and it's the hottest day of the year, and it's much warmer even in the bitter cold of the north, right from the Corridor Islands all the way to the opposite land, passing through the most ice floes."

"After that, it's time to see if there is a suitable place to live, and if there is, I will crown you as the local vassal king, and migrate some Han people to make it your fief." Yun Xi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Baidao. In fact, these words have been repeated by Yun Xi before, but today Yun Xi repeated them as if he had forgotten. Zhu Bai saw that Yunxi seemed to be a little nervous, so he didn't say anything, just listened to his words quietly.

And Zhu Bai is actually very strange: it's not Yunxi who wants to travel by boat, why is he so nervous?

In fact, Yun Hee was not nervous, he was excited. The American continent is the last unexplored continent on Earth and has had a huge impact on the history of future generations. Without the gold, silver, and land of the Americas, the Europeans would probably not have been able to develop into the power of later generations, and Britain and France would have to continue to compete for the small population, land, gold and silver in Europe, and the development of industry would have slowed down considerably.

However, Zhu Bai couldn't understand why Yun Xi was excited, and Yun Xi sweated a lot on his forehead, so he mistakenly thought that Yun Xi was a little nervous.

Yun Xi said a few more words to Zhu Bai, and finally said: "No matter what, even if there are really only some scattered islands on the other side of the sea, and there is no whole land suitable for life, you have also accomplished a very important thing, and people will always remember your glorious deeds hundreds of years from now." ”

After that, Yun Xi looked at Zhu Bai, who was very puzzled by what he had just said, sighed, and said, "Twelfth uncle, my nephew has nothing to tell you, you can step aside." ”
