Chang'an Avenue. Headquarters of the Navy.

Today's visiting envoys from more than 20 countries will submit their credentials to Zhu Di, so when they came out of Honglu Temple, they were watched by countless Ming people.

Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting inside the Navy Headquarters, could not see the situation on the street through the wall, but he could guess what was happening outside.

The monotonous life makes the people of this era have great enthusiasm for any strange and new thing.

Especially at such times, waiters from all over the world will dress themselves up strangely, and then bring expensive gifts to the emperor.

In order for people to help them preach, they also tend to put out all kinds of gold, jewelry and other expensive gifts.

He was distracted here, but Wang Jinghong's negotiations with Liu Jiang were not disturbed in any way, and the two of them were planning carefully around the formation of a second fleet.

Taking today's Zheng He's fleet as an example, the entire fleet is composed of three sequences: boat division, amphibious troops, and honor guards.

Boat divisions are the ship units of later generations, the basic unit warships, they are formed into formations, called the front battalion, the rear battalion, the middle battalion, the left battalion, and the right battalion.

Amphibious units are used for landing operations, and perform a number of search and reconnaissance missions, while the guard of honor serves as a guard and ceremonial for foreign relations.

According to the mission of the envoy, Zheng He's fleet personnel mainly had five parts: the command part, the navigation part, the diplomatic and trade part, the logistics support part, and the military escort part.

Command Section: The center of the entire fleet, which makes command decisions on navigation, diplomacy, trade, operations, etc. Zheng He's position is the chief military eunuch of the Qin Chazheng envoy, and he is fully responsible for the overall situation.

The navigation part is divided into navigation business, ship repair, weather forecasting, etc., and the personnel account for nearly half of the total number of people, and the boatmaster is mainly responsible for it.

The diplomatic and trade section is divided into diplomatic etiquette, trade, and liaison and translation. This part of the personnel is mainly composed of personnel from the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, the General Administration Department and the Internal Supervisor.

The logistics support part is further divided into financial management, logistics supply, document drafting, and medical personnel. This part of the personnel is also the most mixed, with personnel from almost every department.

The military escort component is mainly composed of sailors, who are responsible for navigation safety and military operations. Several large-scale military operations were also completed by them.

Because of the meticulous division of labor, the formation of the second fleet is not only the preparation of hardware facilities, but also the full consideration of the personnel accompanying the ship, so that the entire team has a fairly high combat effectiveness.

Wang Jinghong was also excited that he could lead the army alone this time. Although he was picked up by Zheng He, he has always longed for people to go to a high place and change from a deputy envoy to a regular envoy.

In Zhu Zhanji's heart, he is younger and more aggressive than Zheng He, and he is actually a more suitable candidate for exploring the Americas and Australia than Zheng He.

Zheng He has become a golden sign in the diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty, and any little behavior can be infinitely magnified. Therefore, he is not a candidate for black work and dirty work.

But Wang Jinghong is different, let him raise the butcher knife against those savages in Australia, and he must not have too much psychological pressure.

Moreover, this time Zhu Zhanji is not ready to give Wang Jinghong too much power, at least in the navy, he is ready to install a hawkish general.

And this candidate is Tang Jing, who has followed Zheng He and sent many envoys to the West.

Tang Jing went out with the army many times, fought bravely, and advanced and retreated in a measured manner. On the way to the third mission, he assisted Zheng He in breaking through the capital of Ceylon and capturing its king Arekhunar.

On the way to the fourth mission, he passed through Sumatra, when the puppet king Su Ganra stole the country, Zheng He was ordered by the emperor to lead the officers and soldiers to pursue and suppress, and Tang Jing captured Su Ganra alive and sent him to Beijing to ambush him.

Another important reason for choosing him is that this person and his subordinates have experienced the test of the sea, and they are not afraid of seasickness.

However, Tang Jing had just returned from his mission, and most of the soldiers were now resting in Quanzhou, and he himself was recuperating in Beijing after accepting Zhu Di's reward. So Zhu Zhanji just had this idea and hadn't summoned him yet.

Now that the fleet is being formed, the earliest time to go to sea is at the end of the year, so Zhu Zhanji is not in a hurry for the time being.

"Your Highness, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is asking to see you."

The sound of discussion in the hall stopped suddenly, and everyone's eyes looked at Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting at the end of the long table.

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, go on, I'll come when I go." ”

As soon as he walked out of the main hall, a young naval garrison stood in front of Zhu Zhanji, leaned over and hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness, Minister Huang Yuan has something to ask for." ”

Huang Yuan is the eldest son of Huang Fu, the current political envoy of Jiaozhi, who was originally stationed in Beijing as the liaison between the navy and Jiaozhi to negotiate the restructuring of the navy.

But now the situation in Jiaozhi has changed greatly, and the imperial court has a plan to seal Zhang Fu here, and there will be a result when this war is over.

Now even Huang Fu has to be transferred back, so Huang Yuan's identity is a little embarrassing.

However, this person is also young and promising, and he was valued by Liu Jiang, so he was promoted from General Manager Qian to deputy garrison, and stayed in the Navy Headquarters as an errand.

Today's navy is being restructured everywhere, and the naval headquarters has also set up six overseers, which is actually equivalent to the restructuring team of later generations, which are sent to various places to supervise the restructuring of the navy divisions and navy.

Elite soldiers and strong generals from various localities were dispatched to form a special battle fleet. The assets of the navy in various parts of the country will be counted in a unified manner, and then the training and supply will be unified in a unified manner.

Huang Yuan was sent to the Jiaodong Peninsula in May and returned to Beijing in less than ten days. Now that the weather is hot, he has been running back and forth, and he has lost a lot of weight.

However, he was originally a little fat, but now he has lost some weight, and his complexion is tanned, but he has lost his original bookish anger and has a trace of the majesty of a general.

Zhu Zhanji has high expectations for Huang Fu, because this person is one of the few real officials in the Ming Dynasty. No matter what position he is, he can do it in an orderly manner, and he can't find the slightest fault.

Therefore, he also looks at Huang Yuan differently, and all the admirals know that among the younger generation of generals, Zhu Zhanji admires Huang Yuan very much.

It was also because it was him, so the guards did not stop him, and let him stop directly in front of Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji smiled in a harmonious voice: "What does Huang Shoubei ask for? ”

Huang Yuan said in a deep voice: "The minister heard that His Highness now wants to build a third mission, so he volunteered to find a position in the mission. ”

"Huang Shoubei doesn't like the prosperity of the Beijing Division?"

"No, the prosperous ministers of the capital are very happy, but the ministers are willing to promote their prestige overseas, not like now, and compete with local generals every day for a little benefit."

Although his words were straightforward, they made Zhu Zhanji like them even more. As a member of the restructuring team, the daily affairs faced were mutual calculations and mutual compromises with local generals.

Although Zhu Zhanji did not participate in the specific situation, he also knew that what he faced every day was the troubles of bullshit.

Since Huang Yuan is a penman, of course, he has the idea of making meritorious contributions, otherwise, joining the civil service will be more comfortable and noble than being a military general.

Zhu Zhanji was still very happy about Huang Yuan's self-recommendation, nodded and said: "Since Qianjiu has such ambitions, Guding will not let you down, you should be ready to endure hardships!" ”

Huang Yuan was overjoyed, and said to the ground: "Qianjiu will live up to its mission, expand its territory for the Ming Dynasty, and carry forward the national prestige." ”

Although Huang Yuan did not obey his father's orders and changed from a civil servant to a military general, he had his own furrow in his chest, not a young and radical person.

Since Zhu Zhanji Yongle began to form a young army in the seventh year of Yongle, Huang Yuan, who was still preparing for the Beijing division exam and wanted to enter the Jinshi. I saw that this recognized heir of the Ming Dynasty, like today's emperor, emphasizes martial arts over literature.

Although Huang Fu has outstanding ability, his official road is not smooth, and he has almost been completely planted several times.

Huang Yuan can see clearly, no matter how good a civil official is, it depends on whether the emperor likes you, and on this road, there are more intrigues than military generals.

If he follows the text, he will naturally be classified into the father-son line, if the father falls, the Huang family will fall.

That's why he thought of throwing a pen from Rong, making a career in the army, and having a good story with his father.

He will not put the safety of the family on his father.

He was indeed right, the older Zhu Zhanji gets, the more obvious his preference for martial arts becomes. What made Huang Yuan even more fortunate was that he had become the commander-in-chief of the navy, in charge of the Ming Navy.

When Huang Yuan entered the water division, it was because most of the Jiaozhi army was under the leadership of Zhang Fu, and Huang Fu, a civil official, was not able to exert his strength at all.

Therefore, Huang Yuan was arranged into a sailor with a trace of influence, but now he is crooked.

Huang Yuan is rich in learning and five cars, and he is diligent and studious, and he can endure hardships, although he has not had the opportunity to play in the past few years in the water division, but the accumulation is enough.

Now that he has come to Jingshi, as soon as he meets his grandson, he will have the opportunity to turn into a dragon.

Being in the Navy Headquarters, it is no secret that the third mission headed by Wang Jinghong has long been formed, and it is more promising to be able to accompany Wang Jinghong to the mission, although the road is dangerous, but it is far away from the court disputes, and it is more promising than staying in Daming.

What's more, he also inquired about it, Wang Jinghong's fleet mainly sent to some Shengfan areas, and these areas are absolutely indispensable for the opportunity to make contributions.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji didn't know that this Huang Yuan had already touched him thoroughly and catered to his preferences. But even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he was more concerned about whether he was capable or not.

A person who is good at layout, good at thinking, and has the ability to implement will make him like it more.

At the entrance of the naval compound, a meeting room was built, and other personnel from the yamen who came to the navy to do business were received here.

In the No. 1 meeting room, Ji Gang took Zhuang Jing to sit at the long table, sitting like a clock.

This meeting room is not much different from the living room of later generations, with a casual chat area and a long table for negotiations.

Looking at this completely different arrangement from other yamen, I didn't have the slightest doubt that this must be the handiwork of His Highness.

Nowadays, there is also a trend of learning from the navy in other yamen, not to mention, in this way, it is easier to communicate with any official business, and it will not affect the work of the headquarters.
