Zhu Ding sat on the last seat, looking at the people present, staring at him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, he still waited for this day, this day that he didn't expect himself.

"I'm a person who doesn't have any big ambitions, and waiting for death is my greatest wish.

If you want to eat comfortably and wait for death, you must first have money, so when I was in Fengyang Town, I started to work hard to make money, and then, there was that assassination.

I began to gather strength to protect myself, so now Zou Yu and Chen Erer are my people, with Xu Xiangkun's so-called logistics firm, my ultimate goal is to let him dominate the green forest of the Ming Dynasty, for this, the most unstable social factors are in the hands of his son-in-law, I believe that Your Majesty will also be happy to see it, they will continue to be strong, until they can really have the strength to protect me. ”

The thirteen eunuchs stood behind Zhu Ding and frowned, these words sounded to him, it was simply the babbling of a madman, not to mention that he Zhu Ding was an illegitimate child with a complicated background, that is, the prince made such a plan in private, it was a taboo for the emperor, the most important thing is that these things may be done secretly, but they must not be said openly.

After receiving the news of the disaster in Mingzhou, Zhu Di, the king of Yan who arrived in Jinling from Yanjing to receive the order, galloped all the way non-stop, several days earlier than the expected arrival time, and he was now sitting on the main seat, with a pair of brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

"Brother Ding, your words are a bit rebellious.

Since the creation of the emperor, the emperor has begun to restrain the authority of his uncles, and he has also pulled out six doors to control the rivers and lakes and green forests, and it is an opportunity for the noble to be in charge of the civil power, if you want to make money, I will fully support it, you want strength, the thirteenth uncle, as the commander of the shadow snake, came to your side to protect him, isn't this enough?

Don't stretch out your hand, don't stretch out your hand, the prince's brother favors you, protect him, don't do anything that makes him sad. ”

Zhu Di lived in Fengyang Mansion for a few years when he was young, as the ancestral Fengyang Town, he naturally went around a lot, and he was also the first of all the princes to get acquainted with Zhu Ding, but at that time, he didn't know that he had such a brother.

As a playmate when he was a child, his relationship with the Five Tigers can be called deep, and Zhu Ding, who is the child king of Fengyang Town, likes him even more, but Zhu Ding's lukewarm temperament failed to make the two get closer.

Zhu Ding looked playfully at this generation of male lords who robbed his nephew of the throne in the future, Zhu Di is still very young, in his early twenties, he has not much ambition, and he has not fought a few decent battles, the most important thing is that Zhu Ding knows that the relationship between Zhu Di and Zhu Biao brothers is very good, better than that of a mother.

Zhu Di admires Zhu Biao, which can be seen from his tone as a prince brother.

Zhu Ding put away the distractions in his heart, since he had decided that he would not let Zhu Biao end up depressed, then Zhu Di would naturally not have the opportunity to sit on that chair again, and he didn't want this figure who could have shone in history to be annihilated.

"I'm not interested in that chair, the prince is very good to me, I love it very much, I know, so I arrogantly say that as long as I am here, as long as I can live until that time, that chair will only belong to the prince.

I'm still very humble, and I still have to rely on the strength of others to live, but believe me, I'm a person who can create miracles, I'm not narcissistic, I'm not ignorant of the depths, I'm sure. ”

Zhu Ding turned his head and saw that the faces of the thirteen eunuchs began to become solemn, knowing that he was thinking of the White Lotus Sect.

Zhu Ding looked at Zhu Di and saw that the other party was disapproving, so he threw another heavy blow: "Your Highness, the little Yan Di has humiliated your talents, are you interested in looking further?" ”

Zhu Di looked at the child in front of him who had not yet grown his hair and talked eloquently, and felt that he actually accepted his request for a secret conversation today, which was simply a water in his brain, so he lost any patience, and his tone was even more contemptuous:

"Zhu Ding, you're crazy! When you were young, although you were a little weird, but you were a little smart, at that time I thought that you would become the prince's brother's minister, and now I know that you are also our brother.

But does such an identity make you arrogant? Do you think that a prince's vacant position can make you invincible?

See who you are and think of your name! You Zhu Ding is destined to be impossible to be included in the sequence of the prince!

Let's follow Master Sun to learn the scriptures, put away your thoughts that don't have four or six, and be a rich idler with peace of mind, which is not bad. ”

Zhu Ding didn't reply to his words, took out a stack of paper sewn with fine thread from his arms, threw it towards King Yan without the slightest humility, and smashed it on the other party's tea case.

Zhu Di was stunned by Zhu Ding's contemptuous actions, since he became an adult, even his most respected prince Zhu Biao would not have such a move, and he slapped the table fiercely, wanting to stand up and teach this crazy boy a lesson.

But the thirteen eunuchs behind Zhu Ding shook their heads at him slowly and resolutely.

Zhu Di knows that there are many things he doesn't know, such as the thirteen eunuchs, who have always guarded the queen's side, and they hold a secret guard in their hands that are much better than the brocade guards, and the authority is even greater than that of Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted Xu Da, and he has followed the prince Zhu Biao to call the thirteenth uncle since he was a child, such a person's hint, Zhu Di has to listen.

He secretly suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the manuscript casually, and hastily opened it without even looking at what was written in the ugly words on the cover, and then it was difficult for his eyes to pull out of a picture that looked like a graffiti on the first page.

After a long time, he finally raised his head and asked Zhu Ding in disbelief: "This, this is?" ”

Zhu Ding picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Is Da Ming much smaller than you think? Do you think that even if the lost land is recovered, compared to this picture, our land is just a projectile? Do you think that the footprints of the Great Khan of Mongolia have not spread all over the world as in the legend?

The world is very big, my Ming is very small, the world is very rich, but I am very poor, so poor that I have to live on my own people.

Your Highness, if you are interested in creating a legend greater than Temujin, please take a good look at the plan in your hand, and if you wish, the great ship mentioned there will be yours for a maximum of one year.

If you want, you are the conqueror of the world, and I am the only great general king. ”

After listening to Zhu Ding's words, Zhu Di was in a trance, it has always been his long-cherished wish to fight on the battlefield, but unfortunately the war has started over the years, and he is about to take back the lost land piece by piece, and he can dominate the world, but he is delayed because of the fire in the backyard, and he is not angry.

But what he was thinking about was nothing compared to the rough map in his hand, and the riches in the notes on the map, and the temptation of the ugly calligraphy.

As Zhu Ding said, compared with his so-called world, Daming is very small; Compared with the wealth annotated on the map, the Ming Dynasty, which has a surplus of only more than one million taels of silver in the treasury in a year, is as poor as a beggar.

So, he finally couldn't help his curiosity, and turned the second page, which was still so ugly that it was difficult to see the shape, but the annotation under the picture made his heart tremble: a steel ship full of five thousand sailors!

Zhu Ding smiled and watched Zhu Di walk into his trap step by step.

Expanding territory is often more attractive than a throne, not to mention opening up territory that no one has ever set foot in before.

"Your Highness, I didn't ask for more than 10,000 refugees myself, I asked for you, and I saved their lives, so it is natural for them to work for us, plus your personal guards, five thousand crew members and related logistics miscellaneous personnel can always be scraped together.

With that ship, with these crews, and with the majesty of His Highness, the sea is ours.

The future of the world is in the sea, and the hegemony of the sea is in control, and this world is our pasture, and they must give what we want, do you say? ”

Zhu Di couldn't hear him say anything anymore, just mechanically flipping through the cursive script, hungry and thirsty.

After a long time, he stopped his hand trembling with excitement, stared at Zhu Ding with red eyes, and the hungry wolf saw the eyes of the prey: "Your foundation is the big ship that cannot be sunk, if you really can build that ship, this king is willing to ask his father for his life with the head of the emperor, lead the army, and go to the battle!" ”

Zhu Ding looked at the excited Zhu Di and laughed, laughing heartily.

There was no more suitable person for his plan than this King Yan who came to Mingzhou to supervise the maritime affairs and this once-glorious usurping emperor.
