Chapter 104: The First Voyage

In the middle of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the Arab Empire invaded the east again, but this time the scale of the eastward invasion was smaller, more similar to the raiding of houses and houses, a bit like the previous practice of the Xue Yantuo people, tens of thousands of people broke into the boundaries of the Anxi Protectorate and scattered, each looting, and by the time the Anxi Protectorate soldiers arrived, they had already run away.

Such a scoundrel act made the court feel a headache. Since the military strength of the other party was not clear, and the road was really long, the imperial court could not easily send troops to the west. It is only possible to strengthen the defense and think in the long run.

Chen Fei took the opportunity to write to Li Shimin about the plan to go to the West, described the Maritime Silk Road to Li Shimin, and paid tribute to Li Shimin for the improved Sinan. With this Sinan, there is no fear that the ship will not distinguish things at sea.

Now that the Silk Road on land is not passable, Li Shimin became very interested in the Silk Road on the sea, and asked Chen Fei in detail about some details.

Chen Fei saw that Li Shimin was interested, and without saying a word, he showed Li Shimin the treasure ship drawings he got from the [Treasure Chest System].

Moreover, he has sent caravans to the Western Regions several times, and he knows the customs of the Western Regions very well, with the query of the [Treasure Chest System] and the descriptions of people who have been to the Western Regions in his life, he has drawn the territory of Eurasia and Africa. And all the existing countries are marked on it.

When Li Shimin saw this map, he was really shocked. In his concept, out of the Tang Dynasty border and then to the west, there are barbarians, not to mention, the land boundary should not be big. Unexpectedly, on Chen Fei's map, although Datang is indeed the most powerful country, its territory is a corner of this continent, and there are still large territories waiting for him to explore.

The outside world is much more exciting than Li Shimin imagined! Although he was no longer young, his desire for conquest never retreated.

Emperor Qin and Han Wu? I, Li Shimin, have created a more glorious era than you, and next, I will conquer more distant places! Create more legendary myths!

"Zicheng! Are you telling the truth? Didn't you deceive me? “

Chen Fei saw the desire to conquer that Li Shimin's eyes couldn't hide, and he knew that now Li Shimin's heart was shaken, and he just needed him to push it gently......

"Your Majesty, the minister swears to heaven that everything that is said today is true! There is a wider world outside the Tang Dynasty, and those places are inhabited by uncivilized peoples, but the natural resources are extremely rich, as long as they are conquered, they can be regarded as conquering the world! ”

"Good! I believe in you! ”

Chen Fei didn't have time to rejoice, but Li Shimin's attitude took a big turn: "But...... Although the harvest has been good in recent years and the treasury is sufficient, there are wars on the border from time to time, and the treasury may need to be mobilized at any time. The amount of money and food needed to build a treasure ship is not a small amount, not to mention the need to manufacture treasure ships on a large scale, I am afraid that some ministers of the court will not agree. “

Chen Fei...... It's all nonsense for a long time, and it turns out that this last sentence is the key: asking for too much money, and the ministers of the DPRK and China do not agree, which is equivalent to useless!

"This ...... Your Majesty, going to sea is not something that can be prepared overnight, and if the plan is really to be carried out, we also need to recruit sailors to train and find craftsmen who can build ships. So there's no need to rush this matter, we can figure it out slowly. “

"Slowly? Hehe, I'm old, I don't know how many years I'll have to wait if I wait any longer, and if I can see that day. Zicheng. “

"The minister is here."

"I promised, first allocate money and food, build three treasure ships, how to convince those ministers, it is up to you."

Chen Fei was ecstatic in his heart, and agreed: "Minister... Obey! ”

When he looked up, he suddenly saw the white hair on Li Shimin's head, and thought of the time when Li Shimin died in history, and he didn't know why, his nose was sour.

Although life and death parting is a variety of situations in the world, sadness is also unavoidable. I don't know when it started, Chen Fei already regarded him as his elder. Thinking about a few years from now...... He felt a pang of sadness. There are really not many enlightened emperors like Li Shimin in history, and it is really my luck to be able to travel to the Tang Dynasty under his rule.

Li Shimin caught a glimpse of Chen Fei stunned, and immediately snorted in displeasure. "Boy, what are you thinking?"

Chen Fei quickly came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Minister, lose your honor, and ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins." ”

"That's it, I'm not so careful, let's go, go to your house, and see my two little nephews." Speaking of Chen Fei's two children, Li Shimin showed a loving smile, he really loved these two children. The joy is even greater than the love for some of his own children.

As soon as Chen Fei walked to the door with Li Shimin, suddenly a shadow ran over quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he threw himself into Li Shimin's arms and said coquettishly: "Father! Father! Where are you going? Mingda is going too! ”

Li Shimin touched Li Mingda's little head and smiled, "Haha! Mingda, don't make trouble, my father wants to go to your sister's house to see Yu'er Xian'er. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to see Yu'er Xian'er, Li Mingda suddenly jumped up: "Father, father!" I'm going too, I'm going too! Yu'er Xian'er can already speak, and Xian'er called me sister last time! ”

"Nonsense!" Li Shimin scratched Li Mingda's little nose and blamed: "You are a generation older than Xian'er, how can you teach her to call you sister?" It's a mess. ”

"No, I'm not a few years older than Xian'er, so I'm going to call my sister." Li Mingda kept being coquettish in Li Shimin's arms, Li Shimin had no choice but to respond to this baby daughter.

Chen Fei looked at Li Mingda, well, the little girl is eight years old, a standard little Lori, and she has never been disabled since she was a child, she is still so beautiful, it can be seen that she will definitely be a big beauty in the future,

The most important thing is that a few years ago, she had a serious illness, and after taking the [Physical Enhancement Fruit] presented by Chen Fei, coupled with the treatment of Old Doctor Sun, her illness has improved a lot, and she has never heard of another qi disease, and it seems that she has been cured. After that, Chen Fei also secretly gave Li Mingda a few times the [Physique Enhancement Fruit], it seems that this thing is really effective, maybe her qi disease has been completely cured.

In history, Li Mingda only lived to the age of twelve, but because of his weak body, he died early because of frequent diseases. Li Shimin was also overly sad because of the loss of his beloved daughter, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, and he died soon after.

In this life, because of the emergence of Chen Fei and the [Treasure Chest System], this historical outcome may be changed. Seeing their father and daughter walking happily together holding hands and holding big hands, Chen Fei suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if he was ...... Built a fourteenth-level floating slaughter?
