"Good! Well played! ”

Xie Hong's comments follow the current romance novels, and the routine of combining the comics of later generations, he knows the rules of entertainment very well, just to make people marvel at those treasures and beasts, but also to have ups and downs of the plot, so that people can't stop. 【】

What's more, Zheng He's actions to the West were originally military operations, and naval battles were of course the most important part of them.

Since the Tumubao Change, the offensive and defensive momentum of the Ming and Mongolia has been reversed, not to mention chasing the north like Taizu and Chengzu, and even the passive defense is exhausted. Especially in the past two months, the border passes have been in an emergency, which has made the people in the capital worried and depressed.

So, after listening to the adventure and the naval battle, most of the audience was enthusiastic, especially the soldiers on the second floor, who raised the prestige of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away, which could be compared with Huo Huqi's Feng Wolf Juxu, how could it not make people fascinated?

Wu Yongjian is one of the most excited. Xie Hong didn't know much about what naval warfare was like in this era, he was more familiar with naval warfare in the era of great discovery. And he also knew that Zheng He's fleet was also equipped with firearms, so the naval battle in the commentary became a combat mode dominated by artillery battles and broadside battles.

This kind of combat mode is easy to tell and very vivid, especially for artillerymen like Wu Yongjian, it has a strong appeal.

The general artillery of the Shenji battalion is rarely used in field battles, and only when attacking the city, it is used more, but the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Tartars, and the Tartars do not have castles at all, so the artillery that consumes a lot and has little effect is purely a decoration.

After the offensive and defensive battle of the Ordnance Division, most of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion were disheartened, they couldn't hit people, and they couldn't break through the wall, what use was such artillery? Even Jiang Bin, who recognized the power of the firecracker, was equally dismissive of the artillery.

Although Wu Yongjian was not discouraged, and Xie Hong had always maintained his investment in the artillery unit, Wu Xiaoqi was still very confused, unless the power of the general artillery was improved, he could not see where the artillery was going to be.

After listening to the comments on the naval battle, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, that's right, artillery still has a battlefield that can be played, that is, on the sea!

Although Da Ming is in the forbidden sea now, since that Lord Xie asked people to make such a comment here, he will always have a way, you know, that Lord is the stars in the sky and the earth, he is omnipotent, how can anything in the world be difficult to defeat him? Wu Yongjian is full of confidence.

…… West Garden, Leopard Room.

"Big brother, is everything in that comment true?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were shining, full of expectation and yearning.

"Pretty much." Xie Hong was a little weak-hearted. He didn't remember whether the giraffe was Australian or African, anyway, he remembered these things in it, and the surname Suo made it into it. These are quite reliable, because he had heard that Zheng He's detachment had been to the Americas, and Xie Hong added a lot of specialties from the Americas.

Anyway, the scholars and doctors have almost destroyed all the information related to Zheng He, unless they go to see it with their own eyes, no one can testify against Xie Hong, even if someone has read it, it is a big deal to say that they remember it wrong, so it may be so reliable?

"Great!" Zhengde's eyes were also red, and the storytellers recited all night, but he read all night, and then he was excited from morning to night, and he couldn't even bother to play baseball.

"Big brother, hurry up and prepare, when the fleet is built, let's go to sea together! I'm going to catch a couple of elephants, and giraffes, well, kangaroos, yes, all of them! Zhengde counted them one by one with his fingers, and finally waved his hand, saying that he wanted to bring back all these strange beasts that he had never seen.

"What are you doing with these? You can't eat ......" Xie Hong pursed his lips, he was very disdainful of Zhengde's ideals, no wonder he named his residence Leopard Room, second brother, didn't you already expect to open a zoo? If you are in the afterlife, beware of the Animal Protection Society suing you.

"Why do you want to eat? I'm going to keep those as mounts and change them every day! Zhengde announced loudly.

"......" Xie Hong was speechless, obviously the second brother was naughty again, it would be good for you to make a bicycle another day, and you would even have to ride a kangaroo in the province...... It's not that my brother said you, it's just a giraffe or an elephant, but riding a kangaroo is too cruel.

"In short, second brother, don't worry, after our fleet is built in the future, there will always be a day when you will be asked to catch kangaroos, but now, it is not possible, let alone go to the hometown of kangaroos, we don't even have a deck now, and those things are too far away."

"That's ......" Zhengde was very disappointed, thought about it, and asked again: "Big brother, didn't you say that the big merchants in the south have ships?" Why don't I give the order and let them hand over the boat, well, I don't want all of them, as long as each family pays one, isn't that enough? ”

"It's no wonder they'll hand it over." Xie Hong shook his head, and the smile on his face became cold, "Moreover, even if they are obedient, their ship will not be able to go that far, after all, their destination is only Nanyang or the Wa Kingdom, and the silver here is no longer enough, where would they think of going further?" And how did you go to explore those places? ”

"Alas, then I have to wait for the big brother to build a ship and build a fleet, big brother, you must work hard!" Zhengde sighed and once again pinned his hopes on Xie Hong.

"Well, don't worry, if it goes well, we will soon be able to build a ship in Tianjin Weikai Port......" Xie Hong nodded, but his tone was not too sure.

"What if it doesn't go well?" Zhengde keenly discovered the unfinished meaning of Xie Hong's words.

"If it doesn't go well......," Xie Hong groaned, the rumor has been released, how much backlash the Jiangnan people will have, it will be clear soon, although they are Jiangnan scholars, but in fact, they have something to say in the capital, and they also have eyeliner, and they will not know the movements here.

"It doesn't matter, I have other means, it may be a little troublesome, and it will be a little slower, but if they really deceive people too much, then they can't say it, hum, it will definitely not be us who will regret it then!" Xie Hong looked at the south and said coldly, his tone was indescribably murderous.

…… Xie Hong's action was very successful, but just a few days later, overseas scenery, and the Three Treasures eunuchs went to the West has become a hot topic in the capital, in the streets and alleys, countless people are talking, people are concerned about different angles, but soon unified opinions: there are treasures overseas, there are wealth overseas, so Grandpa Cheng will send people to the sea.

Compared with the so-called Zhu Di who sent people to the West to show off his national prestige, reward everywhere, or hunt down the unaccounted Emperor Jianwen, although Hou Defang's comments did not say it explicitly, but it clearly put the answer in front of the people of the world.

This answer is more direct, more plausible, and therefore more convincing than the original. Although the sage taught his disciples not to say profit, after all, he never saw a great Confucian who really regarded gold and silver as dung and threw the silver in his house into the street every day.

The reason why Grandpa Cheng formed a fleet and sent the Three Treasure Eunuchs to sea seven times was obviously to explore overseas wealth and bring that wealth back to the Ming Dynasty. I don't know anything else, whether it's a long-nosed elephant or a long-necked unicorn, those strange beasts are very consistent with the anecdotes told by many old people.

With the rise of heated discussions, some people soon raised questions, that is, now the imperial court has banned the sea, but the Ming Dynasty is so big, there is still no one to go to sea, and who is grabbing those wealth? Has the Ming Dynasty's policy of banning the sea been implemented to the end? If not, who will get the advantage in the end?

People couldn't find the answer for a while, and even if a few discerning people thought of it, they didn't dare to say it casually, but their suspicious eyes all looked south.

Although Jiangnan has the advantages of a water town, the real wealth of Jiangnan people began in the former Song Dynasty, and the former Song Dynasty was clearly the most developed era of China's navigation industry! Ordinary people don't know this information, but the newspaper of the Roadside Club quickly gave them the answer.

The first issue of the Royal Newspaper of the Roadside Society was a column of the previous dynasty, of course, Meng Yuan was not regarded by Xie Hong as the former dynasty, so the main content of this column was about the Song Dynasty. The detailed information includes technology and humanities, especially according to the needs of readers, detailing the maritime history of the Song Dynasty, which greatly broadens people's horizons.

Open the sea! Go on an adventure and grab the riches of overseas! Although no one shouted loudly, such thoughts throbbed in the hearts of many people. It's not that the people of the Ming Dynasty are easy to deceive, but there are both allusions to the eunuchs of the Three Treasures in front of them, and Xie Hong's comments as footnotes.

Everyone has a yearning for wealth, and it is indeed more exciting to explore overseas than farming for a large family as a tenant, or doing some small business under various exploits.

Of course, the heart does not mean action, the local concept of the people of the Ming Dynasty is still very strong, the young people are fine, and the older people just use these as talking points, or just think about it in their heads, happy and happy, if they really want to go to sea, they must be grateful and insensitive, although there is a lot of wealth, but who knows if they can bring it back alive?

What's more, the sea ban is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and now there is some chaos in the court, how can the emperor make such a mystery at this time? Violating the ancestral system? Aren't you afraid of chaos in the world!

Whether it is someone who really wants to go to sea to fight for wealth and wealth, or someone who casually joins in the fun, no one dares to say the word "open sea". The emperor of heaven and earth is great, but who can be bigger than the ancestral system?

It's just that everyone also has questions in their hearts, since the sea ban is an ancestral system, how can Grandpa Cheng's behavior be counted back then? Could it be that the system of Yongle Year is not as big as that of Hong Xinian? It's a bit weird.

However, if you count the ban on the sea in the year of Hongwu, it can barely make sense, the two emperors are always greater than one, not to mention, the Ming Dynasty is the country laid down by Grandpa Hongwu, how can it be one level greater than Emperor Chengzu.

It's just that no one can say why this ancestral system has an algorithm. The so-called inseparable, how to solve the contradictions between ancestors, others really can't intervene, this is a topic that saints avoid.

Xie Hong didn't plan to rely on public opinion among the people, public opinion was at most a momentum, and it was impossible to solve political problems by relying on this, even in later generations of China, this thing was useless, let alone in the Ming Dynasty. He just wanted to get out of the way, see how the enemy reacted, and then decide what strategy to use in the end.

However, Xie Hong was not an immortal after all, and soon, something happened that he had not calculated in advance.

The accident came from the Ministry of War, mixed with the hustle and bustle of a border pass, a song sprinkled with nearly 10,000 words was handed into the palace, passed through the Wenyuan Pavilion, sent to the celebrant supervisor, and finally reported to Zhengde and Xie Hong by Gu Dayong, there is only one theme of the song, that is:

Please open the sea ban!

When Xie Hong hurriedly looked at Shuren's signature, he was shocked to find that the person was just the head of the military department, but the name made him very familiar.

Wang Shouren!?

I rub, isn't this the first bull in the Ming Dynasty in addition to Zhengde, Wang Yangming? How could this cow be so sparse? Is there such a thing in history? Or is my brother's domineering spirit leaking again?

Xie Hongru fell into a dream, and for the first time felt that things might get out of his control and develop in an unpredictable direction.
