After dealing with the affairs of Fujino Village, Tang Ming also relaxed, and sat in the small courtyard with Xiaobai looking up at the clear night sky, the sky was full of stars, and the big and round moon hung high overhead.

The bored Tang Ming kept shaking his head to change his position, but the moon was still following him, and Xiao Bai beside him suddenly sat up, staring at the courtyard with two ears up. Tang Ming stared at it in a daze, but he didn't see anything.

After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps, and under the bright moonlight, two black shadows came slowly, and when the black shadows approached Tang Ming, he realized that they were actually Zheng He and Fei Xin.

After looking forward to Zheng He, Tang Ming was so excited for a while that he forgot that he still had injuries on his body, and actually stood upright and limped up to meet him. He was gone for more than two months, and the inconvenience of communication made him lose contact with Zheng He.

Getting closer, Tang Ming found that Zheng He's face was haggard, and he looked very tired with two dark circles under his eyes. Being able to rush to Weihai Island so quickly, Tang Ming knew in his heart that Zheng He was traveling day and night, and the friendship of his father-in-law made his already excited mood even more surging.

"Father-in-law......." Tang Ming had a lot of words of thanks to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he turned into a choked name, and he slowly wanted to kneel down with his hands clenched into fists.

Tang Ming came to Weihai Island and was injured three times, Zheng He had already heard Fei Xin mention it on the way here, and at this moment, when he saw Tang Ming limping when he walked, he was still worried about it, which would naturally not make Tang Ming kneel, and quickly held his sinking body with both hands and said with a smile.

"They are all men who are almost sixteen years old, why do they cry when they meet. Are the injuries on your body okay? ”

"It's no big deal, it's just some skin trauma, and Lao's righteous father is worried!" I couldn't control my emotions for a while, and I cried my nose. Tang Ming wiped his nose a little embarrassed and replied softly.

Zheng He knew that Tang Ming was embarrassed, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "What kind of skin injury, you have told me everything, in just two months after coming to Weihai Island, you have been injured three times." Why don't you kid take care of yourself at all, as a Hou Ye, you should have the appearance of a Hou Ye, if there is anything you can't let your subordinates do, you have to go into battle yourself. ”

This can no longer be justified, the lessons of the elders as a junior, you have to bear it, and what Zheng He said is not wrong at all, this matter is indeed to blame Tang Ming himself, and he is powerless to refute it.

Asked Zheng He to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard to rest, Tang Ming then arched his hand and said: "Father-in-law came to support in a hurry this time, the kid is grateful!" It also made the father-in-law bumpy and suffered. ”

Zheng He waved his hand and said quite magnificently: "Okay, okay, why are you polite to me again after not seeing you for two months." If it's not a family, I won't worry about this, so I don't need to say anything more politely, you better tell me about the current situation first. ”

Tang Ming nodded, was silent for a moment, sorted things out, and then explained to Zheng He one by one. From his first encounter with pirates to the discovery of an active volcano on the island, he has nothing to hide from Fujino Village.

Most of the situation Zheng He actually knew for a long time, Tang Ming's current predicament also knew in his heart, what Zheng He was worried about now was where Tang Ming would go after leaving this small island. When he returned to Daming, he had not yet consulted the emperor, and if he went back rashly, he would definitely be used by people with a heart to make a big fuss.

If you don't go back, in this vast sea, where can you accommodate Tang Ming's huge team. Based on Zheng He's sailing experience over the years, there is no such suitable place to survive in the sea area of Daming.

"There is nothing to worry about the pirates now, and the emperor also learned that these pirates are behind Jianwen's ghosts. This time, the emperor also gave me a death order to completely eliminate these remnants. I'm worried about where you're going right now, have you ever thought about it? ”

Zheng He is worthy of being the chief admiral of the Ming Dynasty, and he can often hit the nail on the head when looking at problems, but fortunately, Tang Ming already knew this problem. Fei Xinyan, who looked up to the side, said, "Brother Fei, please bring the navigation chart." ”

Fei Xin nodded in reply, then returned to Tang Ming's room, and quickly took a hand-drawn drawing, put it lightly in front of Tang Ming, and retreated to the side after saluting. With Zheng He, the top boss, Fei Xin looking very restrained.

Tang Ming smiled at Fei Xin, nodded his head to show his gratitude, and then slowly opened the drawing, touched the Jeju Island he had specially added, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, what do you think of here?" ”

Zheng He frowned and stared for a long time, the place Tang Ming was pointing to was not on the chart, this chart was originally from Zheng He's arrangement, and when he saw it for the first time, he knew that it was not in the sea area of the Ming Dynasty.

After he thought about it carefully, he realized that this place should be the sea area of the Bangzi Country, and according to the scale of the map, the island that Tang Ming was referring to was indeed large enough. But this place does not belong to the Ming Dynasty, does it work for Tang Ming to occupy other people's places like this?

"This is the sea area of the Stick Country?" Zheng He finally asked.

"That's right, in my Daming Sea, there is no more suitable place near here. Now the only thing I'm worried about is the emperor's opinion on this matter, after all, this is related to the territorial issues of the two countries, and if one is not done well, there may be a war. ”

In the end, whether Tang Ming can land on Jeju Island openly depends on Zhu Di's intentions, but how many days will be lost in such a round trip. Nearly 10,000 people are floating on the sea, and the daily consumption of food is an astronomical amount, and if there is no replenishment during this period, with his current food stockpile, it can only last for a week at most.

Zheng He had already guessed Tang Ming's mind in his heart, but he was not sure at first, after all, Tang Ming really wanted to choose this Jeju Island as his habitat, and the situation would be much more serious than what he had just said.

Although Bangzi is only a small country, it has always been a close neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, and it comes to the Ming Dynasty every year to pay tribute, which can be regarded as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor is now thinking about diplomacy all day long, and at such a sensitive moment, Tang Ming wants to do such a thing, which is tantamount to pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth and dying for life.

If the emperor will agree to Tang Ming what to do, then there will be a ghost, it is estimated that as soon as he brings it up, even if he doesn't cut off his head, he will definitely not be able to escape with a big board.

After thinking about it again and again, Zheng He always felt that Tang Ming's method was very inappropriate, shook his head and said: "If you really want to take this island for yourself, then you might as well think of another method." Don't think he'll agree to your request, Your Majesty! (To be continued.) )
