No matter how the eunuch gains power, his fate is closely linked to the emperor, it can be said that the life and death of the eunuch is only between the emperor's thoughts, especially the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, throughout the past three hundred years, during which the scenery does not know how many, but once the smugness is too much, breeding arrogance, the emperor's kung fu of dusting off his sleeves can make them fall from heaven to hell in an instant, the most famous negative teaching material is no more than Liu Jin Liu Gonggong.

And Zhang Yong is Liu Jin's successor, in the two years he has been in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, Zhang Yong has his tail between his legs, whether it is to Zhu Houzhao, to the cabinet, to the courtiers, the attitude is humble and polite, holding the red power in his hand but never daring to use it indiscriminately, the cautious appearance of walking on thin ice is comparable to the little daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, a celebrant who holds the power of the empire, lives like a prisoner on the verge of execution, I have to say that Zhang Gonggong is indeed quite aggrieved, on the other hand, killing chickens in front of monkeys, The psychological impact on this monkey is very huge, and this monkey is already disabled if he is not frightened crazy......

Dai Yi's words made the corners of Zhang Yong's eyes twitch when he was disabled.

Zhang Yong and Qin Kan's friendship has always been good, the so-called "good" has a premise, that is, when everyone is unlucky, whether the inner and outer courts joined forces to punish the Eight Tigers incident, or the two planned to punish Liu Jin, Qin Kan and Zhang Yong's cooperation is very tacit, but now Qin Kan has fallen into the water, and Zhang Yong is on the shore, it is really hard to say whether they can share the hardship.

A ray of sunshine shone on Zhang Yong's face in the early morning, but his white and beardless face looked so cloudy.

"Your Majesty...... What does that mean? Zhang Yong was silent for a long time and finally asked.

Dai Yi said with a smile: "The Sacred Heart can only be observed, not speculated. The slave maid is just thinking about it, Grandpa Zhang, don't be surprised, just think of it as a slave and maid. ”

Zhang Yong stared at Dai Yi's face, as if he wanted to see a little bit of the inside story of his unknown Dao from his face, but Dai Yi still just laughed and kept silent.

After a long time, Dai Yi smiled and said: "Although Your Majesty didn't say anything, but Gonggong Zhang tried to think about it, if Grandpa Qin was really brought down by the civil officials, how would His Majesty react?" How will the situation change in the future? His Majesty is naturally extremely sad, and Grandpa Qin has a relationship with His Majesty. It was already deep when the East Palace Diving Mansion was already deep. If Grandpa Qin is killed by the civil officials, even if His Majesty can't save him for a while, he will always look for a knife from the civil officials in the future to avenge Grandpa Qin. The empty seal case in the Hongwu period. Guo Huan case. In the Hu Lan case, the case was led one after another, and tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground. Which case was not deliberately done by Grandpa Tai? ”

"Although His Majesty is playful and playful today, he has a generous and benevolent temperament, and he would not have done such a thing, but if Grandpa Qin was killed by civil officials, and now that the civil officials are powerful and the monarch's power is weak, who dares to guarantee that His Majesty will not change his temperament and kill on a large scale? At that time, if we calculate the accounts, we will stand by and watch when Grandpa Qin is in trouble, ignore it, and watch Grandpa Qin fall into the water and not save him, what will His Majesty think? Even if Your Majesty thinks that we are the old people of the East Palace, and we have the merit of the dragon and do not kill us, but we don't know if the power in our hands will be taken back by Your Majesty, if the eunuch has no power in his hands, what is the difference between death and death? ”

Zhang Yong's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.

He loves power, but he is not crazy like Liu Jin, but he can't be without power, in this palace full of life-and-death battles, the taste of powerlessness is more terrible than death.

"What do you mean...... Help Grandpa Qin? Zhang Yong's tone was a little reluctant.

Dai Yi said with a smile: "The slave maid just said, the joy of the slave is the joy of His Majesty, Grandpa Zhang might as well think about it the other way, if we reach out to help Grandpa Qin at this time, this matter will sooner or later reach the ears of His Majesty, Your Majesty is a person of great affection, let's help Grandpa Qin survive this difficulty, how will Your Majesty look at us?" With this favor, if we are not careful in the future, how can Grandpa Qin stand by and watch? ”

Zhang Yong's expression changed several times, and the tip of his nose was slightly sweaty, obviously moved by Dai Yi's words, and his heart was struggling violently.

After a while, Zhang Yong suddenly raised his eyes to look at Dai Yi, and said suspiciously: "Old Dai, the miscellaneous family remembers that you are not a righteous person, and now that Grandpa Qin is in trouble, why did you jump out and help him so enthusiastically?" ”

Dai Yi shouted: "Father-in-law Zhang, you can look away, the slave is really righteous, isn't there a word 'righteousness' in the slave's name......"

Zhang Yong sneered: "If you pretend to be a miscellaneous family again, you will be blown out of the house." ”

Dai Yi put away his aggrieved expression, suddenly laughed, and mysteriously took out a note from his arms.

"The slave deserves death, there is one thing I forgot to tell my father-in-law, yesterday Grandpa Qin sent someone to send a note to the slave and maid, and he decided to give us half of the dividends from the sea ......"

"Half percent?" Zhang Yong's face was a little ugly: "Qin Kan, is this a humiliation of the miscellaneous family?" If you don't give a penny, it's still a favor to be left there, what does it mean to give half of it to the miscellaneous family? ”

Dai Yi looked at him dumbfounded: "Father-in-law, are you still half a fraction?" Do you know how much silver this half brings each year? Millions! Grandpa Qin only divided three percent to His Majesty, and these three percent are enough to fill the inner treasury, which is comparable to the treasury, are you too little? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yong was taken aback, and then turned his anger into joy, snatched the note from Dai Yi's hand and read it over and over again, then put the note into his sleeve, and glanced at Dai Yi meaningfully.

Dai Yi had a delicate heart, and hurriedly smiled when he saw this: "Of course, this half of it is mainly for Gonggong Zhang, the slave gets two, you get eight, I don't know what Gonggong Zhang's will do?" ”

"Very good...... Zhang Yong suddenly sat up straight, his white face was full of murderous intent: "The miscellaneous family and Grandpa Qin are iron-clad friends, and now that Grandpa Qin is in trouble, how can the miscellaneous family stand idly by?" Isn't this teaching the people of the world to poke at the backbone of the miscellaneous family? The miscellaneous family wants to weigh the civil officials today! ”

*******************************************************************

On the calm sea, eight giant ships swayed in the microwave.

Since Zheng He's seven voyages to the West during the Yongle period, the dynasty has never entered the ocean for more than 100 years. Thousands of miles of sea frontiers, countless treasures, countless opportunities to strengthen the country and enrich the people, were rejected by the imperial court again and again, until today, the dragon flag representing the Ming Dynasty finally fluttered in the wind in the depths of the ocean.

The first voyage did not go well, and the eight giant ships were loaded with Franco's cannons and gunpowder and iron bullets, each with more than 700 people, and they were tasked by Qin Kan directly from the Beijing Division, to eliminate all the Japanese who were hiding on the "Yonaguni Island" closest to Yaeyama County in the Ryukyus Province at all costs. Even if Yonaguni Island is razed to the ground.

However, the day after the voyage. The fleet encountered a rare storm, and it turned out that the shipbuilders that Yan Song and Jinyiwei had worked hard to collect were not in vain, and the fleet withstood the storm unscathed, but unfortunately it was foggy after the storm. The fleet didn't have time to celebrate when it found itself lost at sea. The vast sea is endless. The guide of the leader of the team could not distinguish at all, and the soldiers of the Tianjin Navy Division had never set foot in the ocean and had no sailing experience. Coupled with the fact that supplies were about to run out, the fleet could only rely on intuition to move blindly on the surface of the sea in a panic.

The flagship of the fleet is a big fortune ship, with more than 3,000 materials, after the original cause of the launch, Tianjin prefect Yan Songxing Chongchong sent people back to Beijing, asked Qin Kan to give the name of this giant ship, Qin Kan thought for a long time, wrote down two words with a pen and sent it to Tianjin, from then on, the name of this flagship is called "Zhige".

Promote the power with force, subdue the majesty, and the virtue is born.

The general who led this fleet was a general, named Yang Dequan, he was a guerrilla general of the Liaodong Division, his ancestral home was Fujian, he followed his father to live on the water since he was a child, and his understanding of ships and water warfare can be described as an expert, and later Qin Kan ordered the recruitment of new soldiers after the rectification of the Liaodong Division, and the coastal fishermen who were poisoned by the Japanese invaders really couldn't live, and they joined the army one after another, becoming the Liaodong Border Army, Ye Jinquan, the chief military officer of the Liaodong Division, knew Qin Kan's layout and planning, and deliberately gathered these fishermen recruited from the coast together to focus on drills, Yang Dequan stood out among the many fishermen who were born in the border army, and was reused by Ye Jinquan, and on the day when the Zhige of Tianjin Donggang was launched, Yang Dequan was promoted to a general, led the Tianjin Navy Commander, and participated in the first voyage of the Daming Navy.

Yang Dequan's luck is not too good, there are too many risks in sea navigation, the Japanese are not too much of a threat, and the most fatal thing is those invisible and unpredictable natural disasters, fog, huge waves, hurricanes, torrential rains, and even tsunamis, these days are powerful enough to wipe out a fleet.

The first voyage got lost and lost his course, Yang Dequan has been so anxious that his hair is half white in the past few days, his mouth is full of fire bubbles, his eyes are deep like a beast trapped in a cage, and he is full of anger and doesn't know how to vent.

Three days later, the fog finally lifted, and the first rays of the morning sun shone on the deck of this calamitous fleet, and the sea suddenly echoed with bursts of joyful cheers, and Yang Dequan's tense face finally showed a smile.

"General Yang, look! There is an island ahead! The watchtower sergeant on the giant ship exclaimed, pointing to a looming land in the distance.

Yang Dequan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked to the bow of the boat, squinting his eyes and carefully looking at the land with only a small black shadow in the distance.

"What about the charts? Take the charts! Where have we been? Yang Dequan drank violently.

The guide on the ship smiled and handed over the chart, he had lost his way in the past few days, and the whole fleet was like a headless fly, and the responsibility of this guide was not small, and Yang Dequan had already thrown him face for several days.

"General, let's lose our course for three days, I'm afraid we're far away from Yonaguni Island, and the island in front of us ......" The guide's finger drew on the chart, and the stubby finger moved upstream one by one, and finally stopped at a familiar place.

The guide rubbed his eyes in disbelief, squinted his head and stared at the dark shadow in front of him, quickly making a comparison between the two, his face becoming more and more surprised.

Yang Dequan saw that he had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and was about to slap him on the back of the head, when the guide finally spoke in shock.

"General, let's ...... I'm afraid we've accidentally broken into the main island of Japan! Here, this place seems to be Japanese...... Nagasaki! ”

"The main island of Japan?" Yang Dequan was stunned, and after a long silence, his old face full of vicissitudes gradually became inexplicably happy.

"Damn, pass on Lao Tzu's order, remove the cannon jacket, open the partition, fill the medicine and load, and prepare for war!" Yang Dequan hissed and roared.

The guide and the ship's generals were shocked.

"General, never! Grandpa Qin's order to us is to punish the Japanese invaders, not to attack Japan......"

Yang Dequan glared: "Aren't the Japanese Japanese?" What's wrong with Lao Tzu fighting Japan? ”

"General, this can't be done! Japan is my Ming domain, Hongwu grandfather had a will, Japan is one of the fifteen non-conquest countries, if the general fires at Nagasaki, the Beijing division is afraid that it will set off a shocking wave, we all have to eat military law! ”

Yang Dequan was furious: "Lao Tzu has been lost for three days, Grandpa Qin's general order Lao Tzu has not been completed, go back and still eat military law, and you have to eat military law left and right, Lao Tzu will put a few cannons and drag a few pads!" You all shut up Lao Tzu, whoever persuades me again, Lao Tzu will let him eat a military meal first! Someone, pass on my general order, prepare to shell Nagasaki! (To be continued......)
