The third target plane, Yanhuang Continent.

The time here has just reached the beginning of 1413 A.D., that is, it is 600 years different from the main plane, so it is no wonder that this plane is the farthest away from the main plane, and it costs the most 'Yu' matter.

At this time, the master of the Yanhuang Continent was Zhu Di, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who has watched "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" knows that Zhu Di is not a good person, but he is indeed a capable person. Before him, no one could rise up as a vassal king, defeat the centralized power, and dominate the world, but Zhu Di did it. In the 22 years he was emperor, he did a lot of great things: he ordered him to move the capital to Beijing; The compilation of the Yongle Canon was ordered by him; Zheng He, who was praised countless times by later generations, went to the West seven times, from the initiation to the first 6 times (the last time was Emperor Xuande).

Because 1413 is the eleventh year of Yongle, it will not be until the nineteenth year of Yongle (that is, the time when he is dying) that the city of Beijing has begun to take shape, so at this time Zhu Di is still in Nanjing, and his father Zhu Yuanzhang built the Ming Imperial Palace, and Nanjing at this time is not called Nanjing, but called Jingshi.

According to the history of the main plane, 1413 should be Zheng He's fourth voyage to the West. The leader is envoy Zheng He, the eunuch, and Wang Jinghong, the deputy envoy, commanding more than 27,000 troops, driving 40 ships on sea, and sending envoys to Manraka, Java, Champang, Sumatra, Kechi, Guli, Nambali, Pahang, Kelantan, Kajil, Berumus, Bira, Taoshan, Sunra and other countries. The entire mission includes 868 officials, 26,800 soldiers, 93 commanders, 2 commanders, 140 scribes, 430 hundred households, 1 household langzhong, 1 yin and yang official, 1 teaching, 2 sheren, 180 medical officers and doctors, 7 eunuchs, 5 eunuchs, 10 young eunuchs, and 53 internal envoys (including Ma Huan, the translator). The whole operation started in 1413, returned to China on August 12, 1415, and in November of the same year, that is, in November 1415, the envoy of Punggara came to Yanhuang to present the "unicorn" (giraffe). Of course, all of the above is the history of the main plane, and here is the third target plane, and there are a lot of differences.

Yanhuang Continent, Jingshi (Nanjing).

Zhu Di, who lives and works here, is looking through the cabinet after screening and submitting the report at this time. Zhu Di, who was not used for the work of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set up a cabinet (which was later imitated by Western countries) to help him deal with political affairs, so the intensity of work was greatly reduced. Of course, the cabinet at this time does not have much real power, it can be understood as a senior secretary, only doing some preliminary screening suggestions and other work, and the real final decision-maker of the regime is still Zhu Di. However, at this time, most of the twists and turns submitted by the cabinet were to discuss and dissuade the new "Zheng He's trip to the West" activity, on the grounds that the consumption was very huge, and the gains outweighed the losses.

These made the old man Zhu very unhappy, as a thoughtful and means "horseback" emperor, Zhu Di in addition to often leading the army on expeditions, he is also a good hand at governing the country. He insisted that "the family gives people enough to be sufficient" and "the people are well-off" is the foundation of peace in the world. Therefore, we should vigorously develop and improve the military cantonment system and the rules for salt merchants to ensure the supply of military rations and border salaries. Send Xia Yuan Ji to govern the water south of the Yangtze River and dredge Wusong. In all localities of the Central Plains, we should encourage the cultivation of idle land, implement such methods as relocating people to widen the townships and supervising the people to cultivate their crops to promote production, and pay attention to such measures as exempting and providing relief to prevent peasants from going bankrupt. It is precisely because of these measures that its "Yongle" is endowed with envy and reached the highest peak in the early Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Old Man Zhu really felt that he had done a good job, and it was easy to find the fun of "ocean tribute" that he liked, and he was immediately rebuked by the ministers, and the emperor was unhappy, and the consequences were very serious. He had already made up his mind to find one or two "typical" tomorrow morning, reprimand them well, and let out the evil anger in his chest.

Later historians have a lot of speculations and assumptions about the purpose of Zheng He's trip to the West, such as promoting the economy, publicizing the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, finding the missing Emperor Jianwen, welcoming the Buddha's tooth, and so on. There are arguments for these reasons and speculations, but it is impossible to know how they were. However, according to the results of various materials on the Internet, Yadi felt that Zheng He went to the West to satisfy the "vanity" of Old Man Zhu, which should be a more reliable result, that is, the satisfaction and expansion of the so-called "all kings and ministers in the sky and the polar regions" is what Emperor Zhu Di values more.

You must know that from the perspective of income and expenditure alone, Zheng He's several trips to the West are purely loss-making profits. During the Yongle period, Zheng He's trip to the West cost about 6 million taels of silver, which was equivalent to twice the annual expenditure of the national treasury at that time, and this did not include various expenses such as shipbuilding. In addition, the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban policy, and every time Zheng He's fleet went to sea, although it was mighty, it was "a lonely sail and a distant shadow", and it was not allowed to follow the private maritime merchant fleet and do trade with it. In the private sector, the basic national policy of "no plates are allowed to go to the sea" has been pursued.

Liujiagang in Taicang, which was one of the main docking places for Zheng He's fleet. At this time, a huge fleet of hundreds of ships was docked here.

"This is Zheng He's treasure ship?" Wang Fan saw the largest ships in the fleet through the large screen in the aircraft and asked.

"That's right! Zheng He's treasure ship, the largest is 44 zhang 4 feet long and 18 zhang wide, which is equivalent to the length of the main plane of about 151.18 meters and the width of 61.6 meters. The ship has four layers, the 9 masts on the ship can hang 12 sails, the anchor weighs thousands of catties, it takes 200 people to set sail, and the carrying capacity is 800 tons. It can accommodate thousands of people, and it should be the largest and strongest ship in the world at this time in this plane. Yadea retrieved the data from the database and explained.

"What kind of ships are those small ones, and are they treasure ships?" Wang Fan pointed to the other ships around him that looked different and continued to ask. For him, it was a pure surprise to be able to unexpectedly see the legendary Zheng He's fleet.

"Those ships that are not called treasure ships should be horse ships, grain ships, ship ships and war ships, which are used for cargo, food, warfare and residence respectively in the whole fleet."

"I can't imagine that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were so skilled."

"Wang Fan, actually~~"

"What's wrong?"

"Although I understand your pride, it is very heartening to see the glory of your country's history. However, I still have to point out that the reason why the Ming Dynasty developed ship technology was not only valued by the emperor himself, but also because of its predecessor, the Yuan Dynasty. Historically, the Yuan Dynasty had a tradition of ocean-going trade, and the ocean-going trade was very developed, with several ports with the largest trade volume in the world at that time, and the world's most powerful navy and a large number of civilian and merchant ships, all of which laid the foundation for the navigation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Is that nation on horseback, a nation that treats the Han people as slaves? What a shame to say that! ”

"What a pity? You won't miss the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, will you? ”

"How is it possible, I think that if the Ming Dynasty does not implement the policy of sea ban, maybe the superpower and the empire on which the sun never sets in later generations will not be the Star-Spantied Banner and the United Kingdom, but the only one who will be Yanhuang."

"Maybe."

Ming Emperor's Palace, Huagai Palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good~~" A little eunuch ran in in a hurry.

"Bastard, what's so rude." Standing aside, the chief eunuch who was responsible for serving Zhu Di's daily life was prosperous, and reprimanded him loudly (When Zhu Di was the emperor, he trusted the eunuchs and dared to use eunuchs, so there were several celebrities: Zheng He, needless to say, three eunuchs, seven trips to the West; Wang Jinghong, eunuch, Zheng He's deputy; Hou Xian, talented, strong and daring, five envoys, and Zheng Heya; He also lost his life, consolidated the northern border defense, and researched and modified weapons in his later years, such as reforming rifles; Nguyen An, a famous architect and hydraulic engineer during the Vinh Le Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Here they prove a sentence, ability does not ask the source, has nothing to do with whether a part is normal or not, the golden gun is not raised, and it is still done! ）。

"But Your Majesty, outside, outside~~"

Zhu Di was also displeased when he heard the words of the little eunuch who was still unrepentant, and he had already decided to let the little eunuch be dragged down and whipped to the right and right, and the palace rules were corrected. But when he turned his head to look out the window, he couldn't help but stand on the spot for a while.

I saw through the Chinese window, I could see that in the clear blue sky outside, three huge ships flew quickly from a distance, and they had already come to the sky above the palace at this time. The length of hundreds of meters and the width of hundreds of meters far exceed the size of the largest treasure ship in the Zhenghe fleet, and the unique reflective luster of its metal hull and the dragon-shaped pattern on the side side painted with the modern beauty of later generations, as well as the tens of thousands of square meters of ground shading shadows created by each warship, suddenly made the Ming Dynasty officials and the emperor himself, who had never seen this kind of high-tech equipment, collectively lose their voices.

"Escort, escort, hurry!" As the great eunuch who was the first to react was prosperous, he screamed, and a group of Imperial Forest Army, armed with sharp knives and simple shotguns with front charges, rushed out of various palaces and rushed towards the location of Ming Chengzu.

Within half a minute, inside and outside the house where Zhu Di was, inside and outside the courtyard, hundreds of people had already been in place to block the enemy, and they all looked at the three giant ships in the sky with nervous expressions. In particular, the golden dragon pattern painted on the two ribs of its side side, the clear and vivid artistic picture, makes everyone unconsciously conjure up a thought in their hearts: "Is this an immortal descending to earth?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to evacuate out of the city through the underground secret passage first?"

"Don't be so nervous!" Zhu Di shook his head and refused. Then he stared at the dragon pattern without blinking. Since ancient times, the dragon has been the symbol of the emperor and the representative of the Son of Heaven. At this time, an unknown existence suddenly appeared in Jingshi, in the imperial city, in front of himself, Zhu Di had a hunch that the sky of the Ming Dynasty was going to change greatly.

Just when everyone was nervous, and the common people of Beijing climbed onto the roofs of their houses one after another, looking at the sky of the imperial city, and a group of Imperial Forest Army troops outside the city, desperately rushing to the city to save the king, three giant ships in the air, with a few sounds, the hatch opened, and a steel soldier with a height of more than two meters slowly got out of the cabin, jumped, stayed in the air, and landed, like a pioneer officer opening the way, occupying the Fengtian Temple, showing up for the generals behind and clearing the obstacles.
