After listening to Zhang Zhijie's story, Emperor Zhengde laughed and said, "Isn't our sailor invincible?" There's no pressure at all to fight! ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that, it's just that you defeated the pirates." It's like the imperial court sending a large army to exterminate some bandits, and it's as it should be to win easily! ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled when he heard this: "Aren't there some pirates on the sea?" What else? Isn't the sailor used to fight pirates? ”

Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it's not like this, there are still Westerners on the sea." Whether it is a warship or an artillery, they are very powerful! ”

Emperor Zhengde was a little surprised when he heard this: "You mean that kind of blonde and blue-eyed Westerner?" They're just barbarians, and their ships can be better than ours? Can their artillery be better than ours? ”

At this time, the Franc cannon had not yet spread to the Ming Dynasty, so Emperor Zhengde was very surprised when he heard it, and Zhang Zhijie said: "They were indeed barbarians before, but now they are not!" Their ships are very powerful, and even more powerful are their firearms! Both artillery and muskets are much more powerful than ours. ”

Emperor Zhengde was a little shocked and said, "Is it really that powerful? ”

Zhang Zhijie nodded heavily and said: "Maybe it's even more powerful than I said, fighting on the same scale, our sailor is far from being an opponent!" They are still active in the Western Ocean, and what if one day their warship arrives at our doorstep? ”

Emperor Zhengde was stunned when he heard this, and Zhang Zhijie smiled and said: "So, I will let the fleet that went to sea try to get their firearms back, and then I can let the Ordnance Bureau study it." ”

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "You pay attention to this, and then I will see how powerful this Western thing is?" When the time comes, let the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau dismantle it, and I don't believe that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can be worse than the Westerners! ”

Zhang Zhijie was a little stunned and said: "I hope they can return safely and smoothly!" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled and comforted when he heard this: "Don't worry, they will definitely return smoothly, if, it doesn't matter, just form a fleet!" With a fleet of ships like the Yongle period, I can't believe it and can't come back! ”

Zhang Zhijie was also very moved by Emperor Zhengde's strong support. Emperor Zhengde may not be able to understand Zhang Zhijie's thoughts, but out of trust, he still supports Zhang Zhijie's idea that seems absurd in the eyes of others.

The atmosphere became a little heavy, and Emperor Zhengde changed the topic and smiled: "By the way, you didn't ask Yiye where they were?" Ji'er chattered all night last night. ”

Zhang Zhijie said helplessly: "This minister doesn't know either!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "Everyone is pregnant with your flesh and blood, why don't you care?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhijie was also a little embarrassed, originally he planned to send a boat along the Grand Canal today to find a solution to them. Yiye should not have arrived in Yangzhou at this time, and when they arrive in Yangzhou, they will have to live in Yangzhou for a while.

So it was just right for Zhang Zhijie to send a boat to Yangzhou, but Zhang Zhijie naturally didn't say this to Emperor Zhengde, and he couldn't say that I wanted to send Jinyiwei's official ship to pick up my woman.

Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I will send a ship to look for it, and I don't know if I can touch it." He was also annoyed by Liu Ji and couldn't do anything about it.

If Emperor Zhengde sends a boat, it will definitely be his imperial boat, which is too ostentatious, Zhang Zhijie hurriedly refused: "Emperor He Lao sent someone, and the minister will let Jinyiwei go south to find out!" ”

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "Forget it, I still order it myself." After saying that, he beckoned to the little eunuch waiting in the distance, and immediately a little eunuch Ma Li came with a cigarette. Emperor Zhengde instructed: "Go, summon the Jinyi guard to command Song Cun to see him!" ”

The little eunuch slipped away, Song Cun was actually at the gate of the leopard room all the time, and Gao Yong and the others did not disperse, in their opinion, the Admiral must have to make a move. So they are all waiting for orders here, not to mention them, the entire brocade guard is on standby.

The little eunuch came to the door of the leopard room panting, and was overjoyed when he saw Song Cun here, so there was no need to look everywhere.

The little eunuch ran over and bent over panting as if he had seen a relative: "Lord Song, quick, the emperor has summoned you!" ”

Song Cun's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, the Admiral really made a move, and it was a big move, and even he was summoned by the emperor himself, which shows that the range of officials involved must be quite wide.

Song Cun was excited and followed the little eunuch all the way. Seeing that Emperor Zhengde and Lord Admiral were smiling and talking happily, Song Cun relieved his rapid breathing, and then walked over with his head down.

"Minister Song Cun see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Song Cun knelt on the ground and said excitedly.

Emperor Zhengde smiled and said: "Song Cun, I will give you a task now, you immediately send someone to send a boat south to pick up Yiye and the girl in purple, and make sure to take them back to the capital safely and properly, do you understand?" ”

Song Cun was excited when he heard that the emperor was going to personally order Deng, and he didn't know how big an official he was arresting? Or how many officials to catch? Just when I was full of anticipation, I finally heard the task issued by the emperor.

Then Song Cun was stunned at that time, it was like picking up a beautiful purse, thinking that there was probably a stack of silver tickets in it when he opened it, but there were only two copper plates in it. Don't mention that taste.

Emperor Zhengde looked at Song Cun with a confused face, and said suspiciously: "Song Cun, don't you know Yiye and Ziyi?" ”

Song Cun finally reacted, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows Ziyi and Yiye Girl, and many Jinyi guards know Yiye and Ziyi Girl. ”

Emperor Zhengde nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, take Yiye and Ziyi to the capital safely and smoothly, do you know?" If you want to send the right people, you must be careful on the road. ”

Song Cun replied in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order, and he will definitely send someone to bring Yiye and the girl in purple to the capital safely and smoothly." Song Cun told himself that he must be calm, this is just a small matter, and the real big thing is still to come.

As a result, I heard Emperor Zhengde wave his hand and say, "Go and arrange it!" ”

Gone?! The Emperor summoned him in for this purpose! This matter was ordered by the Admiral, and was it still used by the emperor himself? Song Cun raised his eyes and glanced at Lord Admiral in a bit of confusion.

What did Zhang Zhijian say? He could only smile bitterly and ordered: "If you send a ship south, you should be able to meet her in Yangzhou!" You go and arrange it! ”

Song Cun hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen obeys the order, Weichen retires!" With that, he got up and hunched his waist and slowly retreated, and when he was far away, he turned around and walked quickly outside the leopard room.
