Zhang Zhijie is really a little excited about going to sea, and he really doesn't know what the situation is like overseas. With some anticipation, the fleet was finally ready to set off, and Wu Zhongcheng, who had been busy preparing for the firm, came to see him off in person.

Wu Zhongcheng smiled throughout the whole process, as if he didn't know that Zhang Zhijie was taking Qiaoqiao girl on the cruise, which made Zhang Zhijie a little more convinced.

"I wish Admiral Zhang a smooth journey and an early return!" Wu Zhongcheng said with a smile.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "The matter of preparing for the commercial house will be more troublesome for Wu Yuanwai!" ”

Wu Yuanwai smiled and said: "Admiral Zhang is too outside, this is my business, when the adults return from going to sea, they will definitely be able to see the prepared firm!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said goodbye with a smile and boarded the warship, and after the people of the city shipping department had already inspected the cargo ship and collected the taxes, the fleet began to set sail and sailed away from Quanzhou Port.

Because Zhang Zhijie was going to Mangara, he did not go to sea with the captured Portuguese warships, but left them in Quanzhou to patrol the sea.

However, Zhang Zhijie still requisitioned 20 warships from the naval division, plus the original 40 warships of the fleet, a total of 60 warships went to sea, and all of these warships were transferred. I have to say that I still care about my little life.

Coupled with a full 200 cargo ships, the fleet that went to sea this time can be described as extraordinarily large, and the mighty cover the sky and the sun, even in the vast ocean, it is a behemoth.

Along the way, they encountered a lot of fleets, many with a dozen ships, and a few with a few. Zhang Zhijie also encountered several Western sailing ships, but they did not look like warships.

This is a Western merchant ship that went to Quanzhou port to trade, and now it is the second year that Daming has opened the sea, and the news has spread overseas, so there are already a small number of Western merchant ships trying to go to Daming.

Therefore, in the summer of this year, the Quanzhou City Shipping Division has encountered a Western merchant ship docking, but fortunately, Zhang Zhijie has already foreseen it and has already ordered it.

As long as the merchant ships come to Daming to trade, they must accept the regulations of the Municipal Shipping Division, otherwise the sailors will drive them away from the sea area of Daming. At present, there has not been a Western merchant ship that does not accept the regulations of the Municipal Shipping Division.

It is getting farther and farther away from Daming, and Zhang Zhijie's initial excitement has disappeared without a trace. At first, when I sailed on the sea, I would sigh at the vastness of the sea, but after sailing for a long time, I would only feel lonely and bored.

However, soon Zhang Zhijie experienced the first risk, the storm hit, and the breath of destruction was really terrifying, but fortunately, Feng Haisheng and they were all veterans at sea, and they handled it very properly, otherwise the consequences were really terrifying.

Zhang Zhijie also completely felt the difficulty of navigation, and even Zhang Zhijie, a person who had experienced the sea of corpses and blood, was frightened by the power of nature and turned pale. However, for Feng Haisheng and them, it seems to be commonplace.

Although there may seem to be some risks along the way, there are no losses caused by it. There are also losses, and there will always be some goods damaged, which is unavoidable.

However, Feng Haisheng said with a smile that this trip to the sea was very smooth, much smoother than the previous two times, which was the blessing of Lord Admiral. This made Zhang Zhijie a little speechless, I really don't know what they encountered in the first two voyages.

However, after a long voyage, the sea suddenly became calm, and Feng Haisheng smiled and said, "My lord, we are almost in Manraka!" ”

The appearance of a large fleet on the surface of the Manraka Sea immediately attracted the attention of the Portuguese. Zhang Zhijie did not immediately lead a huge fleet to Manraka, and the merchant ships were okay to say that dozens of warships stationed in Manraka would make Alaso restless.

Therefore, Zhang Zhijie first sent someone to inform the Indian governor stationed in Manraka, and Feng Haisheng said in a deep voice: "My lord, it is better for my lord to only bring a few warships to Manraka, so that it will not cause them to panic!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "What about you? Where are you going? ”

Feng Haisheng smiled and said, "My lord, let's go to the old port and station!" When the adults are about to depart, send a warship to inform us! ”

Zhang Zhijie was a little curious: "Old Port? Where is the Old Port? ”

Chang Yun smiled when he heard this: "My lord has never heard of the Old Port Propaganda Division? The Old Port is located in the southeast of Sumatra, across the sea from Manraka. Shi Jinqing, the king of Srivijaya in Sumatra, was actually a native of Guangdong, and Yongle sent his son-in-law to Beijing to return to Shun in the fifth year, and Emperor Taizong enshrined him as the ambassador of the old port, and set up the old port consolation department in Sumatra. ”

Zhang Zhijie was fascinated when he heard this, he never expected that Daming would have a territory overseas, and asked curiously: "What about later?" Is there still an old port propaganda department? ”

Chang Yun smiled: "My lord, it's long gone!" The reason why there was the Old Port Xuanwei Division at the beginning was because although Shi was elected as the king, after all, he was a Cantonese person, and it was difficult to subdue all the tribes after all. ”

"At that time, the fleet of my Ming Sanbao eunuchs was overwhelmed by the four seas, so the Shi clan would return to the imperial court and use the power of the imperial court's powerful fleet. And when the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to sea, the old port became an overseas foothold. ”

"It's just that it's all old, and then the imperial court no longer goes to sea, and it is difficult for Shi to maintain the Old Port Xuanwei Division."

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said, "It's a pity! The strong Three Treasures Eunuch is really a model for my generation! In his lifetime, the Governor should rebuild the Old Port Propaganda Division! ”

After Zhang Zhijie sighed, he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then you should take the grain ship to the old port, Chang Yun took five warships and merchant ships to Manraka with the governor." Then the Governor will go to the Old Port to see it himself, and you will wait for the Governor in the Old Port. ”

Not long after, a Western warship appeared on the sea, and at this time, Feng Haisheng also left the fleet with forty-five warships and grain carriers and headed for the old port.

When Alaço received news that a large fleet had appeared on the sea, he immediately guessed that it was probably the governor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, he was quite happy in his heart, the governor of Daming really came to visit, which showed that he really regarded him as a friend.

However, when he went to meet him on a warship, Alaso was still quite entangled, because the governor of the Ming Dynasty must have brought many warships to escort him when he went to sea, and whether to let these warships enter Manchuria, which really made him hesitate.

If they were allowed to enter Manraka, Alaso was really afraid that the Ming governor would have any unnecessary thoughts when he saw the prosperity of Manraka.

If the Ming governor's warship is refused to be stationed in Manraka, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the Ming governor!
