On the second floor of the building, the four little palace maids saw Zhu Zhanji coming back, and they all showed happy smiles on their faces. When I came to the outside world from the palace, there were some big men around, and they were all a little afraid.

When I saw Zhu Zhanji at this time, I seemed to have a backbone.

In Xingqing Palace, their task was to help Zhu Zhanji dispense medicine, and then accompany Zhu Zhanji to take a bath, and help him massage by the way.

But now on the ship, everything is inconvenient, and there is no task to bathe Zhu Zhanji today, so at most, he can only cover Zhu Zhanji's bed.

The four of them helped Zhu Zhanji untie the buckles and ties on the armor, and when Zhu Zhanji took off the armor, they brought civilian clothes to help Zhu Zhanji change into it.

"Make me a pot of tea......"

Qiu Yue, who had just hung up Zhu Zhanji's armor, responded, and hurriedly took out a hot water kettle to help Zhu Zhanji make tea.

During the Yuan Dynasty, there were already double-layer porcelain kettles, but the heat preservation effect was average.

When Zheng He went to the West, he brought back a double-layer copper kettle from Ceylon, which should have been produced in Turkey, which had a better heat preservation effect.

Based on this copper kettle, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have reproduced a new type of kettle. And a layer of cotton was stuffed on the outside, and the outer shell of the ceramic was fired.

In this way, the heat preservation effect of the kettle is very good, basically within 24 hours.

In addition to the kettle, there was already a refrigerator in the Ming Dynasty, the principle of which is similar to the kettle, the innermost side is a layer of copper skin, there is a layer of space outside, you can stuff ice cubes, and then a layer of leather insulation, and then stuffed into cotton, and the outside is a wooden box style.

So sometimes we can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, as long as there is an idea, they also have a strong practical spirit.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Zhu Zhanji's body felt a little more comfortable.

Lying in Xia Hua's arms, eating snacks fed by the spring breeze, Qiu Yue and Dong Xue were still helping him massage his somewhat sore thighs, this kind of enjoyment was simply amazing.

After chatting with a few little girls for a while and teasing them, Zhu Zhanji got up satisfied. asked Li Liang to bring over the information of the guards and guards who went out on the expedition, Zhu Zhanji looked at it for a while, his greed had darkened, and he couldn't read the words clearly, so he put down these materials.

The mobilization of 500,000 troops turned to fight thousands of miles. In modern society, it is a very, very complicated job, let alone in this era of communication and travel.

At present, only 100,000 people eat and chew horses, and there are still different local governments in various parts of the country, which are responsible for the food and drinking water supply of various armies.

When I got out of the Great Wall and entered the desert and wasteland, at that time, the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of troops was even more difficult to complete.

But the slightest negligence will lead to a slower advance and a decline in morale of the army that has been missed.

Looking at the expedition plan made by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhu Zhanji felt dizzy after reading it for a while. Nowadays, there are all kinds of statistical methods, and this army uses one statistical method, and the other army has a statistical method, and it is really difficult for these people to still arrange the itinerary of hundreds of thousands of troops in an orderly manner.

However, in this regard, Zhu Zhanji had no idea of reform. The existence of any method has historical reasons and practical necessity, otherwise it will not be preserved.

Rash reform, not to mention the opposition of the generals in the army, even if it is to come up with the advanced methods of later generations, is not suitable for this era.

When he did not understand the situation, Zhu Zhanji would definitely not easily move the military system.

Moreover, at this time, Zhu Di will not let him move.

He can only know how to change slowly without affecting the overall situation.

"Your Highness, the guard Yang Qianhu asks to see you."

"He came just in time, and I was about to practice, so let him be my sparring partner. Summoning ......"

Li Liang knelt down with a plop and said, "The slave begged His Highness for forgiveness, because the slave was not arranged, something went wrong today, so it took extra effort for the Yang guards to get on the boat." ”

After listening to Li Liang's explanation, Zhu Zhanji laughed. "The first time I am in charge of the overall situation, and it is also the first time I am responsible for the arrangement of my expedition, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes, since it has not affected the result, I will forgive you for not being guilty. Get up. ”

"His Royal Highness Xie is magnanimous ......"

As soon as he stood up, Zhu Zhanji asked, "You didn't know Yang Qianhu before, right?" It should also be the first time I saw him on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and then I saw him for the second time in Longdu Village, why did you target him? ”

Li Liang was shocked, and knelt down again with a plop. "Minions don't dare!"

"It's done all the work, why don't you dare? I'm not holding you accountable now, I just want to know why! ”

Li Liang didn't dare to hide it, and said: "His Royal Highness came back from Longdu Village that day, and because he changed his clothes, he was noticed by the crown princess. The slave didn't dare to hide it, and told the princess the truth. Knowing that His Royal Highness was working with people and was still rolling on the ground, the crown princess trained a group of minions. The minions wanted to deliberately teach him a lesson, but they also ...... Don't dare to miss the big things of His Highness. ”

"How did you punish you?"

"That day, the crown princess gave red envelopes to the minions, and the more than 400 people in Xingqing Palace ranged from one tael of silver to two taels of silver. There weren't a dozen of us who went out with you that day. No decentness at all......"

No wonder history always says that eunuchs are small-minded, and Yang Zhangde can't be blamed for such a trivial matter of two taels of silver. But these eunuchs didn't dare to blame the grandson, they didn't dare to blame the princess, they could only blame him.

But Yang Zhangde and they didn't know about this matter at all, and if they knew, I'm afraid they wouldn't care about these dozens of taels of silver.

But thinking about the fact that Yang Zhangde killed ten people for fifty taels of silver, he was not sure.

Leaving these behind, Zhu Zhanji said: "This time I will spare you and take him to the living room." ”

"Yes!" Li Liang turned around and retreated, wiping the cold sweat on his face. The bet is right, His Royal Highness Taisun is a person who does big things, and he doesn't care about this little thing, what he cares about is his attitude.

The disagreement between the people below will only reassure Zhu Zhanji even more, if they are complicit inside and outside, then he will have to worry.

However, now that Yu Xian has been transferred, Jin Kuo's focus is not by his side now. Li Liang is now in power alone, and there is no one who can restrain him. Therefore, it is better to promote another person to come up, and it is better to have a general relationship with him.

Yang Zhangde obviously didn't know that he broke his leg today, just because of an unwarranted disaster.

Tonight, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the moonlight is just right, and although there is no light in the room, a general outline can be seen.

At this time, Taisun was facing away from him, looking at the rolling river outside. He bowed and saluted: "Weichen Jinyi Wei Qianhu Zhangde has seen His Highness. ”

"Yang Qianhu wants to see me at this time, what's the matter?"

"Today, Weichen saw the grandeur of His Royal Highness, and his heart yearned for it. But he knows that he is shallow in learning, and he only has a brute force, but there is nowhere to go. Therefore, Weichen wants to ask His Highness for advice, so that he can better serve His Highness in the future. ”

Zhu Zhanji laughed twice, turned around and looked at Yang Zhangde in the shadows and said: "You are a smart person, unexpectedly smart, but whether you are the talent I need is still to be effective." ”

"Wechen will never give up!"

Zhu Zhanji walked into the house, although the ship was sailing, but this bump was like walking on the ground for him.

He had been begging for a living at sea for more than ten years, and these water experiences had become his instinct. Even if the body is new, it's still the same.

"I have three people for you, but I don't know which one Yang Qianhu chooses."

"Your Highness, please."

"The first one, the British Gong Zhang Fu, he is the pillar of the country. The second, Ji Gang, he is the sharp blade of the country, and the third, Zheng He, he is the banner of the country. I don't know who Yang Qianhu has the heart to choose as his target? ”

Not only Yang Zhangde, but also the two Taoist masters and several eunuchs who were listening to the movement in the next room were also taken aback.

Comparing Zhang Fu to the pillar of the country, he is definitely worthy of the name, the father and son have two generations from the battle of Jingjing, and the two expeditions to Annam, Zhang Fu will never fall into the prestige of the British duke.

And listing Ji Gang as a sharp blade is also an appropriate compliment, although more people are willing to describe him as an eagle dog.

But comparing Zheng He to the flag of the country is definitely a praise beyond the imagination of most people. A eunuch is no longer a complete person in the eyes of most people, but Zhu Zhanji uses a banner to describe him.

Especially a few eunuchs, when they heard this description, tears were about to flow out. Although they did not feel Zhu Zhanji's preference for them on weekdays, Zhu Zhanji also did not have any prejudice against them, let alone insult them with their cripples and give them the respect they deserved.

Now, he uses the flag of the country to describe Zheng He, so that they all have a kind of passionate feeling of dying with honor and being a confidant.

Yang Zhangde did not hesitate at all, and said with his fists clenched: "The British Duke is familiar with poetry and books, and has both ability and political integrity. Although he is the object of Weichen's admiration, Weichen knows that he lacks the talent and military foundation of the British princess, so he does not dare to have such extravagant hopes. Eunuch Zheng represents the emperor to raise the prestige of our country, and he is a model for my generation, but Zhang De is trembling just when he walks on the river, and his heart is not at ease, and he really does not dare to go to the boundless sea. ”

"But there is some self-knowledge, so you regard Ji Gang as a model?"

"Everything is up to His Highness, and whatever His Highness wants Weichen to do, Weichen will do."

Zhu Zhanji shouted: "Yang Qianhu, my subordinates don't need flattery, this is the first time, I forgive you, next time there are sycophancy, severe punishment will be given!" ”

Yang Zhangde's heart froze, knowing that he had upset his grandson, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "As a thousand households in brocade clothes, Weichen naturally takes the commander as a model. ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a sigh: "In front of me, you must dare to do, dare to act, dare to act, and dare to be used by me." Flattery, virtuous but talentless, and without the ability to pass through the world, there is no need for anything. Since you take Ji Gang as a model, you must learn from his merits and pay attention to information inside and outside the court. It's easy to be an official, it's hard to be a big official, you go down and think about it! ”

Yang Zhangde's heart was gloomy, he originally wanted to pat the horse's ass, but he slapped the horse's leg. The grandson is only sixteen years old, doesn't he like to listen to some good words? With remorse in his heart, his tone was much more depressed, and he hugged his fists and said, "That Weichen retired ......"

Zhu Zhanji untied his robe and shouted: "If you don't fight with me again, do you want to leave?" ”
