In the sea far away from Daming, a huge fleet was sailing with the wind, and Zheng He stood on the bow of the ship with a telescope in his hand to watch the situation of the fleet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info standing next to Yao Guangxiao, who is getting older, than a year ago, he is now older, especially in this sea every day The wind and sun are constantly blowing, and his body has gradually felt like it is as before, which is why he is in a hurry to go out to sea with Zheng He.

He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would not even have a chance to reach the Western Elysium, and the facts proved that his decision was right, and the hardships of the voyage were much more arduous than he expected. The bean sprouts that Tang Ming gave to Zheng He's fleet saved many lives, and compared with the last time he went to sea, Zheng He's casualties this time were reduced by more than half.

Zheng He observed for a while, put away the binoculars and said with a smile to Yao Guangxiao beside him: "Master, we can return to Daming in more than three months, and all countries have sent envoys to follow us to pay tribute, and the imperial city of Beiping should also be built when we go back." The pilgrimage of all nations is really the prosperous age of my Ming Dynasty! ”

Although Yao Guangxiao's face was a little pale, he was very relieved to hear this at the moment, and nodded slightly: "This trip for the teacher is an eye-opener, the ancients often said that it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and this time for the teacher is a deep experience." Although the strength or economy of various countries are not as good as the Ming Dynasty, but every country and every nation has its unique heritage, there are many things that we can learn from and also need to learn, and it will not work out behind closed doors, the emperor spared no expense to build this fleet, it is a wise move, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty has come! ”

Zheng He nodded again and again on the side, but when he saw Yao Guangxiao's increasingly old face, he would always feel worried unconsciously. The dreams of the past are gradually coming true, but the teacher is also getting old. Yao Guangxiao knew Zheng He's thoughts, smiled and said indifferently: "It is normal to be born, old, sick and die, and it is enough for a teacher to live to this age, and now it is a day to earn a day if you live one more day, what do you think about this with a bitter face!" ”

"Teacher......."

Yao Guangxiao did not let Zheng He continue to discuss the matter of his aging, waved his hand and turned into the cabin tremblingly, time is the greatest natural enemy of mankind, and everyone can't escape the invisible but ubiquitous murder knife of time. Zheng He stared at Yao Guangxiao's trembling back in a daze, sighed in his heart and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Zhu Di sat alone in the imperial study, and today it was rare that he did not conscientiously approve the folds, but let a large stack of folds neatly occupy the entire dragon case.

Jianwen has been arrested, and now he is under house arrest in the deep palace, except for the two old eunuchs who take care of his daily life, it has been completely classified as a forbidden place, no one is allowed to approach, and the guards who dare to disobey can kill this person without warning. The hatred in my heart has been resolved, and the second wish to move the capital to Beiping to create a prosperous era of Yongle that has no ancients before and no one after will be completed.

The only thing that is lacking now is that there is a successor, but Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince, has now changed so much that he can accept it, but he can only accept it. And Tang Ming in front of him can be described as a time bomb among the foreign ministers, the power that is not under the control of the Ming has developed too quickly, and the whole situation of Ryukyu Island and Jeju Island, he has seen all the news from the hands of the secret agents.

On the surface, Tang Ming now has the naval strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di is even more annoyed by this if he doesn't know it. Maybe when he was still in power, Tang Ming would not take action, but having such a navy rose under the nose of Da Ming, which had to make Zhu Di worry about this.

Now it seems that only by executing Tang Ming and taking over Ryukyu Island and Jeju Island can he calm his uneasiness. The Zhu family's world does not allow anyone or anything to threaten its safety, Zhu Di was ruthless, and he really wanted to kill Tang Ming like this. But now he also has some scruples about Tang Ming, after all, there is a navy comparable to Zheng He's fleet on the two islands adjacent to Daming, if there is no more real charge against him, he really can't just cut off Tang Ming's head casually.

The people sent to try to take over Ryukyu Island have not returned, and it has been nearly ten days, and Zhu Di is waiting very anxiously. If Ryukyu Island can be successfully taken over by officers and soldiers, then Jeju Island will not be a problem in Zhu Di's view.

But he never expected that the man he sent to test the takeover of Ryukyu Island was being tied to the flagpole of the treasure ship at the moment. After Fei Xin passed Li Dazhui's confession, he was ready to go to Daming to rescue Hou Ye at any time. As Tang Ming said before, he didn't dare to guarantee that his army was the most brave and warlike army in the world, but he dared to say second about loyalty, and he never dared anyone to say first.

Just as the people on Ryukyu Island and Jeju Island heard that Tang Ming was put in prison by Emperor Daming, everyone shouted that the Ming Dynasty rescued Hou Ye. Fei Xin did the same, and on the day he was about to meet someone sent by Zhu Di, so he tied him to the flagpole of the treasure ship without saying a word, so as to make his position clear.

Zhu Di had scruples about Tang Ming's power, and it was precisely because of this that the people living on Ryukyu Island and Jeju Island were either pirates or some people who had committed murders in Daming, or some people who were no longer able to survive in Daming and were forced to go to Tang Ming's fiefdom. These people didn't have any sense of belonging to Da Ming in the first place, and once the two sides went to war, these people would not hesitate to follow Tang Ming.

Although Zhu Di is not afraid of the attack of this strength at all, this is always a trouble, just like the Japanese who can be seen everywhere in the sea area of the Ming Dynasty before.

Fei Xin's fleet did not enter the docks of Nanjing, and docked quietly in the open sea, and a small boat with a dozen soldiers was sent ashore. They were sent to Gao Chunzhuang to get in touch with the old housekeeper, and they also learned how Tang Ming's situation was now.

Half a month later, Zhu Di still didn't wait for any news, and vaguely guessed something in his heart? But he still firmly believed that Tang Ming would not dare to do that. But he seemed to have forgotten that he had sent Tang Ming to the heavenly prison and made him completely isolated from the outside world, even if Tang Ming was unwilling to meet him directly, the problem was that he couldn't control them at all now.

Soon after, Zhu Di learned that the fleet from Ryukyu Island was now docked off the coast of Nanjing, and that all the people he had sent to try to take over Ryukyu Island were tied to the flagpole of the treasure ship. After learning the news, Zhu Di was furious and immediately ordered the treasure shipyard to send troops, and the second prince personally led the Praetorian Guards to suppress the formation.
