On February 15, this was the auspicious day chosen by Qin Tianjian for the return of the Ming fleet.

And on the thirteenth day of February, 6,000 heavily armed young soldiers surrounded the eleven great families of Rome.

At the door of each family, the general secretary read the Ming holy decree to his family in accordance with the habit of the Ming Dynasty, ordering him to surrender.

In the holy decree, Da Ming had already grasped the conspiracy of these families to assassinate Zhu Zhanji.

Three of them surrendered, but the Ming magnanimously forgave each other, and the other four surrendered after a little resistance and were punished with fines.

Six other families organized samurai, which put up stubborn resistance and were mercilessly exterminated by the Ming soldiers.

The Romans saw the Oriental-style extermination of their families, this kind of slaughter that cut the grass and eradicated the roots, leaving no aftermath at all, left a deep memory of fear on all the Roman nobles.

Of course, Daming left much more than that.

Since the end of August last year, the sudden appearance of the Ming fleet has brought a huge impact to the Western world.

The chronicle of the Ming Dynasty, the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the elegant customs of the Ming Dynasty, the obedience of the Ming soldiers, etc., all directly affected the entire Western world's understanding of the world.

They learned that there was a country with a long history in the East, and they also knew that their group of people was nothing more than shrimp in a small fish pond.

These people are still fighting for a piece of land in the Mediterranean, but the Ming Dynasty has long stood at the top of the world.

Everything left by Daming has made these soil buns realize their shallowness, and I don't know how many people want to go to Daming with the Daming fleet to see this powerful country in the East.

However, except for the craftsmen recruited by Da Ming at the beginning, Da Ming did not leave with any nobles this time.

And the Ming people did not all leave, they also left their own seeds.

In Ceuta they left a fleet of three thousand men, and in Crete they left a fleet of eight thousand men, for a total of eleven thousand men in two fleets.

These are only the soldiers directly under the Ming fleet, in addition to them, the number of people serving the Ming fleet has reached more than 30,000.

On the island of Crete, more than 20,000 craftsmen from all over the world helped the Ming Dynasty build a super port and city, and used the cement they fired to build a strong fortress.

These people will remain on Crete in the future, and they will be allocated land, and in the future, they will be exempt from agricultural taxes, except for a part of the grain they will pay.

The population engaged in commerce in Crete, as long as they paid taxes according to the regulations, would also be protected by the Ming soldiers.

Taxes on Crete are very low, and even Venice, which has the strongest commercial atmosphere, has a tax that is more than five percent higher than Crete.

Of course, the most attractive thing for residents of other countries is the agricultural tax, and all the people engaged in agriculture have only 30% of the land they receive for free.

In Europe in this era, serfs had no human rights, and eighty, or even ninety, percent of their hard work had to be handed over to their masters.

During this period, the island became a hot spot for people from Europe, including North Africa.

In addition, in various countries, the Ming Dynasty left a total of more than 500 literati, all of whom were studying the languages of various countries and establishing trade representative offices.

These are not all, the cultural influence left by the Ming Dynasty is an important factor that really affects the development of Europe.

For example, in order to trade with the Ming Dynasty, various countries accepted the records of the Yellow Emperor calendar of the Ming Dynasty, and the transaction dates were all recorded according to the Yellow Emperor calendar of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, the Jesus calendar was not recognized by the Mamluks or the Ottoman Empire.

And their Muhammad calendar will only make the European countries laugh, because the Muhammad calendar is less than 800 years old.

They don't recognize each other's chronology, but now they have to trade with the Ming Dynasty according to the Yellow Emperor's calendar of the Ming Dynasty, which seems to have a small impact, but it will affect the history of the next few hundred years.

In addition to the various economic and cultural influences brought by the Ming Dynasty, the most impressive thing about the Ming Dynasty to the Western world was the exquisite medical skills of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no medical development in European countries, and their doctors have no medical skills at all except for bloodletting, except for using stimulus to fight poison with poison.

In today's West, in addition to facing the invasion of various viruses, the most prevalent disease is venereal disease.

Moreover, the more aristocratic this disease is, the easier it is to get it, because only the aristocracy will live a life of lewd luxury, with all kinds of women.

The most terrible thing is that they don't pay attention to hygiene, they don't bathe, they don't care about men and women, and they are covered with fleas and lice.

At such a time, venereal diseases, which are a by-product of sin, naturally spread among the aristocracy.

When the doctors of the Ming Dynasty cured an archbishop in Rome who had contracted a venereal disease, the news immediately caused a huge sensation in Europe.

Even kings are equal in the face of disease.

Suffering from STDs, they can only be plagued by STDs for the rest of their lives.

When there is a chance to be able to get rid of this disease, no matter how much it costs, they are willing.

Even Zhu Zhanji didn't think of this in advance, but he soon saw the business opportunities here.

In Crete, in addition to being a fortified port city, Zhu Zhanji also ordered the establishment of Europe's largest resort sanatorium in a scenic bay.

Of the more than 500 doctors who accompanied him, Zhu Zhanji decided to leave 200 behind, who were specifically responsible for treating venereal diseases for Europeans, Ottomans, and Mamluks.

Of course, the cost of treatment is also unbearable for ordinary people, and the most expensive thing is not labor, but "medicinal materials".

Cheap herbs in the East, spanning tens of thousands of miles, tofu has also become the price of meat.

Moreover, the treatment is still Jiang Taigong's fishing, and those who wish to take the bait.

But when there is no effective treatment in Europe, Crete will be their only hope.

When Zhu Zhanji set off from Rome for Crete, their fleet was followed by a large number of Western ships. They were not there to see Zhu Zhanji off, but to follow Zhu Zhanji to Crete and then treat the disease.

This kind of excitement is something that no one expected at first.

When Zhu Zhanji arrived in Crete, in addition to the fleet that arrived here in advance, another welcoming fleet made Zhu Zhanji not expect in advance, this is the Knights Hospitaller who now occupies Rhodes.

This order is a well-known order, and even in the 21st century, it is still active in world politics.

They are also recognized in the world as having no territory and are also observers at the United Nations.

They were founded in the Crusades and formed in Jerusalem as a nation.

But after Jerusalem was occupied by the Arabs, they withdrew to Cyprus, and later Cyprus was occupied by the Ottomans, and they withdrew to Malta, where they were finally defeated by Napoleon and lost their territory.

But today, they are still stationed in Rhodes and are at the forefront of the fight against the Ottomans.

The Order now has 7,000 knights, plus about 30,000 people with retinues and dependents.

Zhu Zhanji was not very familiar with this period of history, he only knew that these 7,000 knights resisted the Ottomans for decades.

Now that they saw that the Ming had bought Crete, they hoped to form an alliance with the Ming to jointly defend against the Ottomans.

Rhodes is only a dozen kilometers from the Ottoman mainland, and to the east of Crete, it separates the Ming and Ottomans.

Geographically, the two sides have the basis for an alliance.

But the Ming didn't care about the Ottomans, and they didn't want to lose their neutral position because of the alliance, so they were not interested in forming an alliance.

When Zhu Zhanji returns to Daming, Zhu Di will drive westward. As long as the battle with Timur was not ashamed, the Ottomans knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not dare to deal with the Ming army on Crete.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji did not hesitate to refuse their request for an alliance, but was willing to trade fairly with the Knights Hospitaller and provide them with custom-made weapons.

In Crete, Zhu Zhanji also met with the envoys of the Ottoman Empire and affirmed to them the neutrality of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty would never participate in the wars of the West, and the only purpose of staying in Crete today was to trade with other countries.

Today's Crete, where the Greeks, Romans, Turks, Arabs, and Ming people gather on the same island, and none of them has a particularly big advantage.

The Ming lowered taxes and treated everyone equally, so that the inhabitants of this island would at least submit to the Ming at the very least.

Seeing these aliens bowing down to him with pleasure and sincerity, he secretly wondered if he had made a "Maritime Switzerland" in advance.

These people have tasted the sweetness of low taxes, and no matter which country wants to attack Crete in the future, they will probably not give in.

On 5 March, Zhu Zhanji arrived in Alexandria, a Mamluk dynasty, where he was greeted by the Mamluk king Faraj and more than 1,000 river boats sent by him.

Here, too, the Ming fleet will begin to part ways.

Excluding the 11,000 navy, more than 1,000 chamberlains, civil officials, physicians, and hundreds of craftsmen who repaired ships left in Europe, the Ming fleet still had about 67,000 people.

Among them, there are 22,000 young soldiers, 12,000 Yu Linwei, Zhu Zhanji and the clan, about 4,000 civilian officials, and nearly 30,000 navy.

But the number of people who returned to the Ming fleet did not decrease much, because in Europe, Zhu Zhanji recruited about three thousand mathematicians, craftsmen and other talents.

The total number of them is more than 10,000.

Except for the navy that will return to Ceuta, and then bypass Africa, and return to the Ming Dynasty by the same route, most of the young army, Yulinwei, civilian officials, etc., will arrive in Cairo through the ancient canal.

Arrive in Suez from Cairo and then set up a base in Suez.

When the naval fleet returned to eastern Europe, and then returned to Suez to pick up Zhu Zhanji, they returned to Daming.

In this way, most people will no longer need to go through the life of being adrift at sea for up to half a year, and more importantly, they will not let these aliens know the entire route.

The world is clear in the eyes of a few people in the Ming Dynasty, but for Europeans, it is still chaotic, and they do not dare to leave the continent and enter the ocean.

The naval officers who stayed in Europe were selected from among the officers who volunteered to stay behind, and they would be stationed in Europe for three years, waiting for the arrival of the future Ming fleet, and then switching guards with them.

The reason for the voluntary is that the number of sailors who stayed behind has increased by fifty percent, and all the food is contracted by the imperial court. They have been soldiers here for three years, as long as they don't spend money indiscriminately, when they return to Daming, they can all become little rich.

Of course, the imperial court will not lose, not to mention anything else, just by treating these European nobles for venereal diseases, the Ming Dynasty will be able to make money every day.

Not to mention this trade trip, Daming made a lot of money. A trade can be garrisoned for fifty years and still be profitable.

Of course, this is only because the first trade had such a big profit, and the gold and silver in Europe were all made by the Ming Dynasty at once, and there will definitely be no such good thing next time.

But every two or three years to trade, the profits are more than enough to sustain the garrisons and development costs of the entire West.

From the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, it is actually very difficult for the 30,000 navy to sail 500 ships on the return journey, and the personnel on each ship are only the minimum standard.

But for the entire fleet, all the people, all the gold and silver, and all the goods together are not as important as Zhu Zhanji.

At the beginning, Zhu Zhen, the chief of the navy, insisted that all the troops follow Zhu Zhanji, but he was still suppressed by Zhu Zhanji.

In addition to being afraid of the clan's troubles, Zhu Zhen was also difficult to command and arrange, Zhu Zhanji wanted to stay by his side, and he arranged for most of the civil officials, most of the trade delegation's chamberlains, ship repair craftsmen, and 5,000 young troops to go with the fleet.

These people add up to nearly 10,000, and on average, each ship can add twenty people.

Not to mention those small boats, even the big boats, with twenty more people, are also a great help.

This is also because the ships of the Ming Dynasty are all hard sails, if they are soft sails like the West, there are no two or three hundred people on a ship, and they can't go at all.

Now there is no big master on the fleet, everything is arranged by Zhu Zhen, and the typhoon season has not yet arrived, Zhu Zhanji is still relatively optimistic that they can reach the Red Sea safely

From Alexander's arrival in Cairo, Zhu Zhanji and Faraj quickly reached an agreement on a number of cooperation between the Ming and the Mamluks.

In addition to garrisoning and trade, the largest cooperation project was the joint excavation of the canal from the Great Bitter Lake to Port Said by the Ming Dynasty and the Mamluks, and the dredging of the ancient canal from the Great Bitter Lake to Suez.

In B.C., Egypt had already built a canal from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea, but this canal mainly relied on the tributaries of the Nile River to the Great Bitter Lake, and only the section of the canal from the Great Bitter Lake to the Red Sea was excavated.

But the main thing about digging the canal on the Gobi Desert is not the difficulty of the project, but the difficulty of maintenance, because the canal has to be constantly dredged.

Any project, as long as the people above speak, can always make achievements, and the Suez Canal is the same.

With the change of dynasties and foreign invasions in Egypt, this ancient canal gradually fell into ruin.

Geometry was developed from ancient Egypt, who built the world's largest pyramid of artificial wonders thousands of years ago, and there is actually no shortage of talent in architecture and engineering.

In the history known to Zhu Zhanji, that is, in the fifteenth century, a few decades later, Venice was ready to finance the construction of the Suez Canal.

It's just that they made a mistake in their measurements, and the Ottomans captured Constantinople and faced the pressure of annihilation, so they gave up building this canal.

But technically, in fact, this era was already able to meet the construction of canals.

Before Zhu Zhanji arrived in Europe, he planned not to build the canal for the time being, because he wanted to develop South Africa.

But the plan did not change quickly, and the Ming Dynasty successfully occupied Ceuta, bought Crete, and built a trading center in Crete.

At this time, digging this canal can reduce the pressure on the Ming garrison in Europe and expand the influence of trade.

And thinking about it the other way, Daming dug through the Suez Canal, and these countries in Europe knew about this passage, so they would no longer develop to the south, and Daming could immigrate in South Africa in an orderly manner.

After spending nearly a month in Cairo, he took his brothers and concubines on a tour of the Sphinx of this era, as well as famous sites such as the Pyramid of Khufu.

The delegation of more than 40,000 people brought strong spending power to the Mamluks, and at least during the time when the Ming soldiers arrived in the Mamluks, Faraj faced much less pressure.

Although the Ming army was not much, it included 3,000 artillery and nearly 30,000 fully armed elite troops, which was a hard bone that even the 300,000 Mamluks could not gnaw.

Now Faraj is also on Zhu Zhanji's side, and those tribes below dare not oppose them at all.

Not only that, Zhu Zhanji shouted out a plan that the development of the canal would cost about 150,000 taels of gold to 250,000 taels of gold, and that more than 100,000 people would need to be used to excavate it for 10 years.

As soon as the plan came out, the entire Mediterranean perimeter was in a sensation. Zhu Zhanji and his entourage are now the gods of wealth of the entire Mamluk dynasty and are welcomed by everyone.

The Mamluk dynasty was still a transition from slavery to feudalism, and the people were required to serve in conscription. That is, the cost of labor is free in the Mamluks.

So who got the money? Of course, it was the king and the elders of Iqtar who took the money.

Moreover, in order to dig the canal, the Ming Dynasty will also provide more than 200,000 pieces of iron tools, which will strengthen the strength of the locals.

From Cairo to the Great Bitter Lake, it was still arrived by Mamluk riverboat through the ancient canal, and then the Ming army began major construction in Suez, which is still a small town today.

More than 50,000 slave laborers came to Suez with the Ming army, who would assist the Ming in building three castles between Suez and Lake Bitter.

The construction was completed from the winter of the sixteenth year of Yongle to June of the seventeenth year of Yongle, and three ancient Roman-style cities were erected on this oasis more than 20 kilometers long from north to south.

The three castles are all about ten kilometers apart, forming an irregular straight line, which can also be said to be a flat triangle that can be seen hand and foot.

The castle has barracks, wells, and warehouses that occupy a large area, and at the same time, each castle can accommodate up to 10,000 people, and the maximum can accommodate 100,000 people.

But at this stage, the Ming fleet can only leave a total of 10,000 people to carry out infrastructure construction and reclaim farmland here.

However, the Ming had sufficient funds in their hands, and both the supply of food and slave labor were contracted by the Mamluk dynasty.

The life of the people at the bottom of the Mamluks became more and more difficult, but the people at the top made a lot of money one by one.

This is still the beginning, and when the Suez Canal was excavated, in the nineteenth century, more than a hundred thousand people died for this canal, and in this era, there will certainly be no fewer people who died than in that era.

However, none of the people who died were Ming people, and it was impossible to expect Zhu Zhanji to have mercy on them.

In July of the seventeenth year of Yongle, the Ming fleet spent four months bypassing South Africa and returning to the Red Sea.

On the day they arrived, Shen Daier gave birth to a daughter for Zhu Zhanji.

On this day, the hot and rainy Suez was drifting in heavy rain, and his mother's surname was Shen, so he was named Zhu Fei by Zhu Zhanji.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were also very happy about the birth of this little county lord, and there was nothing more joyful than the happy occasion when the two armies converged.

Having already traveled once, and according to the direction of the wind, the fleet did not encounter strong wind and rain, and only lost a cargo ship carrying wool and returned smoothly.

However, they also brought back the unfortunate news that at the mouth of the Congo River in later generations, the supply point set up by the Ming Dynasty there suffered from miasma and infectious diseases, and more than 200 of the 300 people left behind died.

This is still thanks to the fact that Zhonghezi Lao Dao was there, so these people were retained, otherwise, I am afraid that everyone would die.

This incident also made the morale of the supply point very low, and Zhu Zhen simply revoked the supply point there and brought everyone back.

Zhu Zhanji also had no opinion on his decision, and it was not until the end of the 19th century that people initially grasped the epidemic prevention of entering the tropical rainforest area.

It was only in the mid-twentieth century that the development of various vaccines such as penicillin gave people enough power to fight off the virus.

Zhu Zhanji wants to conquer there hundreds of years in advance, which is really too optimistic.

He also agreed with Zhu Zhen's decision, now that there is a route, the withdrawal of the supply point there will not have much impact on the layout of Daming.

The arrival of the fleet has doubled the spirit of nearly 40,000 Ming people, and even more than 10,000 engineers from European countries are extremely excited, and everyone knows that the fleet is going back.

The fleet was repaired for ten days, and the Mamluk slaves took on the task of shipping, leaving the sailors to rest for ten days.

Turkic maidens, Arab maidens are very popular here.

In the hottest August, the fleet could not wait to return from Suez, although this period was a headwind, but after three years away from home, no one wanted to wait any longer.

There were only 11,000 young soldiers left behind who were reluctant to leave the fleet, but they were not disappointed, because most of them had bought one or even a few slave girls here, and they were quite happy.

The fleet left most of the gunpowder and bullets behind, and from here it would go back only to war at sea. In the absence of a fleet that was an opponent of the Ming Dynasty, the muskets in the hands of the warriors were almost useless.

Sailing out of the Red Sea with difficulty, the fleet traveled eastward, and when it arrived at Kezhi in September, the fleet encountered a fleet sent by Zhu Di to find Zhu Zhanji.

With this fleet, it was his uncle Mu Xin and Hou Xian, who was familiar with the Western Regions.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was safe and sound, Mu Xin was extremely excited and let out a long sigh. "Your Highness, fortunately I waited here for the former army, otherwise the minister would have been ready to go to the West."

Hou Xian couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty doesn't think about tea and dinner for His Royal Highness, on your birthday this year, a person is drunk in the palace, and someone will be sent out to find you on the second day." It's just that the minister was patrolling in Dongying at that time, and no one led the fleet, and when he returned to the capital in May, he was sent out by His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's hard heart was also softened by a heavy blow. He knelt down facing the east, kowtowed three times before looking up to the sky and said: "Grandpa Lao Huang bothered, my grandson's trip lived up to expectations and opened the gate of Xizhou for my Ming Dynasty." ”

Although it is a play, at this moment, at least Zhu Zhanji's heart is sincere.

Like an arrow, Zhu Zhanji did not stay in Kezhi for a long time, and after the fleet was reorganized, he sailed all the way to Daming.

The fleet arrived in Star City, which would later be known as Singapore, in early October.

Fresh water was replenished in Star City, and the fleet had not yet set off when news of a typhoon in the north was received.

Because of Zhu Zhanji's going to sea, from the Ming Dynasty to the South Seas, almost every island has set up contact points, in order to get Zhu Zhanji's news as soon as possible and transmit the message in time.

And these contact points also established a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to rule the South Seas.

Two days later, Zhang Fu from the northern cochin sent a messenger to Star City, and the storm had passed.

At this time, the tenth month of the lunar calendar is November after the next generation, and even if there is a typhoon, it should pass.

Now the northeast wind is coming soon, and if you don't go now, it will be more and more difficult to walk. Therefore, Zhu Zhanji did not delay any longer, and with an order, the fleet set sail.

During this time, Zhu Zhanji has been communicating with Mu Xin and Hou Xian, who came to greet him, and listened to them talk about the changes in the Ming Dynasty in the past three years.

Although Zhu Zhanji has not been there for the past three years, the industrialization framework he built has not been greatly affected by his reins.

This is mainly because Zhu Di has reaped the rich rewards brought by industrialization and will not allow anyone to destroy it.

Once the development of industrialization began, it was a train that could not stop the car, driving the surging tide.

Jiajiang Industrial Zone can no longer meet the current development of Daming, because of Zhu Di's laissez-faire, now many nobles and local wealthy businessmen have obtained permission to build hydroelectric plants.

From Yingtianfu to Songjiangfu, on both sides of the Yangtze River, as long as the water potential is relatively flat, dozens of industrial zones and more than 10,000 factories have been built today.

These factories were mainly engaged in rice milling, flour grinding, weaving, silk reeling, printing, and furniture processing, and steel processing was not popularized today because it was controlled by the imperial court.

However, there are also some clever craftsmen, although they did not see the process of processing the barrel of the gun in the imperial court, but also figured out the corresponding process, and now the processing of round wheels is driven by hydraulic facilities.

And all kinds of small machining that extended from this has become a big industry, and most of the wooden wheels of the Daming carriage have been replaced with an iron ring in the middle and a wooden structure on the outside.

But because of Zhu Zhanji's absence, the development of his research institute has been slow, and it can even be said that it has stagnated.

What makes Zhu Zhanji feel even more distressed is the two banks, because Zhu Di regards the bank as his own money bag, and now the development of the two banks seems to be vigorous, but it is precarious.

He is an emperor who does not follow the rules and treats the bank as his own money bag. And he took the lead in breaking the rules, and the people below were naturally not so honest.

Although the Daming Development Bank can still take out money on the distribution of officials, it is just to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

It is said that the hole in the Development Bank is already amazingly large, and it is waiting for Zhu Zhanji to come back this time and bring back a large amount of gold and silver to fill the hole.

However, the development of commercial banks was not affected by the imperial court, and there were not many people who openly stretched out their hands. However, because the bank is not strictly controlled, many nobles and ministers, when they take loans in the bank, they do not think of returning them at all, and there are many dead debts.

In the past three years, Zhu Di has transferred more than 5 million taels of funds from the Development Bank, plus more than 10 million taels of funds originally allocated by the imperial court, all of which have been transferred to the northwest.

This is to prepare for his expedition to the west!

Zhu Zhanji felt helpless about this, no matter what, his idea was good, but the means were wrong, and he, who was a grandson, could only help him wipe his buttocks.

Of course, he doesn't have this obligation for other people, and when he goes back, he must check the bad debts and bad debts here, no matter who reaches out, he must return them to me.

For this expedition to the west, Zhu Di has been preparing for more than three years, and in the past few years, a cement road from Yingtianfu to Jiayuguan in the northwest has been built, and a large amount of grain and grass has been mobilized there.

According to Mu Xin's understanding, there are more than 500,000 war horses available in Daming now, and for this war alone, more than 100,000 war horses have been transferred from Chuzhou Ranch to the northwest.

Let's not talk about people, just these horses, plus the original horses in the northwest, eat countless grains and grasses every day, and for these grains and grasses, how many people are needed to cut the grass and transport it!

With Zhu Di's character, Zhu Zhanji suspects that if he returns to Daming, he may not be able to rest for a few days, and he will have to prepare for Zhu Di's expedition.

The fleet successfully arrived at Champa, and Zhang Fu and the king of Champang, who had been ordered to return to the Ming Dynasty to report on their duties, greeted Zhu Zhanji and his party here.

Because of his return to his heart, Zhu Zhanji did not go to Hoi An, the capital of Champang, but only met with the king of Champa at Xinzhou Port and accepted the gifts and beauties he sent.

Champa is now one of the important grain bases of the Ming Dynasty, relying on grain exports, the Ming Dynasty has brought a lot of profits to the city every year.

Although Zhu Zhanji and Zhang Fu rarely met, the two secretly formed an alliance because of the relationship between Zhaoyi and Guifei.

Although Jiaozhi has not yet been given to the Zhang family, this is not because Zhu Di is unwilling, but because of the war with Timur.

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhanji dragged him down in this matter, if Zhu Zhanji hadn't attracted Zhu Di's attention by fighting with Timur, Zhu Di would probably have given Jiaozhi to the Zhang family three years ago.

But Zhang Fu had no opinion on this, after all, the later the canonization, the greater the help of the imperial court here, reducing the pressure on the Zhang family's development.

The two set off together from Xinzhou Port, which will be Da Nang in the future, and will meet and chat for an hour every day, and the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better.

Regarding Zhu Di's expedition, although the two did not say it explicitly, Zhang Fu, who was destined to go on the expedition with Zhu Di, would become Zhu Zhanji's biggest help in the army.

From Da Nang to Changle in Fujian, it only takes ten days to have a tailwind, but now it is a headwind, and it took a full half a month to arrive.

At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xinggang is now also the territory of Daming, in everyone's hearts, only when they get here, can they really return to Daming.

(I'm sorry to write a rough chapter about my trip to Europe.) Because of the stiff turn, it seemed a bit bland, and everyone didn't like it, which means that I didn't think about the difficulty of the trip to Europe at first. Since it is a historical essay, it is better to write about reform and development. The next volume, enter the third volume, the old demon will write well)
