Chapter 209: All Gone

As soon as the third day of the Lunar New Year passed, the entire Zheng Mansion was busy, and the old housekeeper prepared a carriage early and waited at the gate of the mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoToday is the day when Zheng He sailed to the sea, and the time of the test after several years of waiting has finally arrived.

Everyone in the Zheng Mansion must be present today to see off the master, and there is nothing to fall behind. The old housekeeper has been very honest about this and has been preparing for a long time, all the people are in place, except for Tang Ming, who has not come out yet, everyone has arrived.

The old housekeeper knew that Tang Ming was preparing a mysterious gift for the master, but this gift had been preparing since years ago, why was it not ready when it arrived? It's not too early, and if you don't set off again, the master's fleet will have to leave.

The anxious old butler called people to urge him several times, but the word he got was always not good. I waited for Tang Ming to come, but I saw him come empty-handed, and I couldn't see what mysterious gift he was carrying?

Tang Ming got into the carriage and said with a smile to the old butler who was stunned who was looking at him: "Okay, let's go quickly, if you don't leave, you really won't be able to catch up!" ”

Only then did the old butler come back to his senses, and with a roar, a team of nearly three hundred people slaughtered out of the city.

Sacrificing to the sea is an important link, every time people go to sea must sacrifice to the sea to pray for peace, Zheng He also boarded the ship after the ceremony, but Tang Ming was not seen for a long time. This guy mysteriously said two days ago that he was going to give himself a mysterious gift, and he wanted it but he didn't see him.

"Well, this kid ......." Zheng He let out a sigh of emotion, and was about to dislike Tang Ming for making a mistake on such an important day, when suddenly, a team appeared in the corner of his eye and rushed to the dock.

Two Zhengzi flags are fluttering in the wind, and the flag bearers are Li Ba and Zhu Yong, the two of them are riding high-headed horses to open the way in front, and their majestic appearance looks like the two generals who are going to go on the expedition. Seeing this battle, the onlookers automatically gave way, and Li Ba and Zhu Yong did not slow down, and drove their horses directly onto the treasure ship, followed by the carriage that Tang Ming was riding.

When they arrived at the treasure ship, Zhu Yong and Li Ba inserted the Zhengzi flag in their hands directly into the bow and stern of the ship. These two Zhengzi flags were embroidered by Xiao Ding himself, and they only needed one side, but Xiao Ding remembered Chen Jialan's good, and also embroidered one on her behalf.

This is Xiao Ding's heart, Zheng He is very happy about it, he has no children under his knees, although there are still some relatives in his hometown, but they are not by his side, the joy of family and the warmth of the family Zheng He has never had.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year, these three days are the happiest days in Zheng He's life, Tang Ming took Xiao Ding to fulfill his duty as a righteous son, so that Zheng He became a father through and through, and enjoyed the warmth and joy of family.

This is spiritual comfort, which is more real than material enjoyment, and Zheng He is no longer keen on material pursuits at this moment, which may also be influenced by Yao Guangxiao.

"Father-in-law, this is the mysterious gift I want to give you!" Tang Ming got out of the carriage with Xiao Ding and took out two well-made binoculars from his arms.

Zheng He didn't know what it was, but from its appearance, he only knew that it was two small copper sticks, and some patterns were carved on its surface, which looked like a work of art. God mysteriously prepared for a few days, that is, to give himself a work of art, Zheng He immediately frowned.

Tang Ming knew what he meant as soon as he saw his expression, and said with a wry smile: "Father-in-law, don't get me wrong, I call this thing a telescope, there are two sections in it that need to be opened, and when you put it in front of you, you can see several times more distance than the human eye." ”

Zheng He's face was happy, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his glasses, and immediately looked at him according to the method Tang Ming had just said. Since he didn't see the effect of taking Zheng He in reverse, Tang Ming hurriedly went up to correct him, and then he could see it clearly.

These two telescopes were polished by Tang Ming with fine crystal, and their effects were much better than the ones he had built before.

Zheng He couldn't put down this telescope, he knew very well how much this thing helped him at sea, and Zheng He, who was happy in his heart, had to admire Tang Minglai at this moment, saying that this kid was always able to do something impressive at a young age.

The improvement of crops at the beginning, to the later forging technique, and the method of forging iron are also a must, even the steel keel of the treasure ship was proposed by him, and the more I contacted him for a long time, the more I discovered his extraordinary.

One of the best decisions he Zheng He made was to accept Tang Ming as his righteous son, although at the beginning he also wanted to take advantage of Tang Ming's selfishness, but now he has long regarded Tang Ming as his own, and even his mentor Yao Guangxiao also cares for him.

Time is running out, it's time to leave, the two fathers and sons have finished what they should say, and Zheng He has left even if he has more reluctance in his heart. There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and life is always divided and gathered, gathered and divided.

After exchanging respects, Tang Ming and the others returned to the carriage and got off the treasure ship, standing on the shore and watching Zheng He's fleet gradually leave. The crew members on the ship also came to see each other, and when it was time to really part, everyone showed a reluctant expression, but none of the family members would shed tears.

Crying represents bad luck for seeing you off, so even if you feel more sad in your heart, you have to grit your teeth and hold back the tears that are about to burst out of your eyes.

After sending Zheng He away, Tang Ming returned to Zheng's mansion, and along the way, Xiao Ding pestered Tang Ming and asked Chen Jialan if he was coming to Nanjing. This girl seemed to be very happy about this, which made Tang Ming very puzzled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this ancient woman is different, and she has to come to her side in the main room, and she is not only not jealous but happy.

Tang Ming doesn't have to worry about it anyway, as long as the two of them don't fight, they can do whatever they want if they don't block him!

Zhu Di walked quietly, without much fanfare, let alone letting the ministers of the DPRK and China know that all the soldiers, horses, grain and grass were waiting in Beiping. When Zhu Di set out from Nanjing, he only brought a few hundred Imperial Forest Army and Zhang Yu, a general.

Yao Guangxiao also followed, even if Tang Ming didn't know that Zhu Di was taking the sea route or land, Yao Guangxiao only mentioned to him the day before yesterday that he wanted to leave, and asked him to assist the prince well, and the others blasted Tang Ming out without mentioning it.

made his whereabouts so mysterious, saying that it was for the emperor's safety, Tang Ming agreed with this, and he didn't dare to ask about it. Saying goodbye to Yao Guangxiao in a gloomy way, Tang Ming never mentioned it, if he leaked the news, once something happened to the emperor, he would definitely be implicated, even Yao Guangxiao could not be spared.
