The golden sunlight shone on the clear blue sea, sparkling, like a blue satin inlaid with shining gold stars. The sea is as far as the eye can see, and on the horizon, it merges with the blue sky. More than a dozen huge ships were moored on the sea, undulating but only slightly shaking.

The wharf was crowded with people, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live was endless, and many people could not get close to them, but just knelt down in the distance to see off the greatest emperor in their hearts, Zhaowu Emperor Zhu Yongxing, on a voyage to a foreign land.

In the ninth year of Yongjin (1715), Emperor Zhaowu, who had abdicated for ten years, had to leave his homeland at the age of 80 and go to Australia to settle down for the rest of his life. As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar, whether it was ordinary people, members of Congress, or senior cabinet officials, they did not hesitate to oppose it. However, hard persuasion and crying could not change Zhu Yongxing's mind, and he made his heart clear in the Congress, and also showed his last plan for the country and the people.

"In the twenty-ninth year of Zhaowu (1690), the total population of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 100 million, according to statistics, at most in another five years, the population will reach 200 million, and then it will continue to grow in the number of 100 million in a generation of 245 years. With unlimited population growth and limited land, how can we make our people live and work in peace and contentment if we don't take a long-term view? Australia is a vast land, and it is a terra nullius, now occupied by my Ming Dynasty, it is my Ming territory, after construction, he is a happy land. I decided to die of old age in Australia. It's buried there. See if you, the descendants of the future, are angry, filial piety, and whether you can let the kingdom take this place and set foot in my grave......"

It's so painstaking, it's moving. From Emperor Yongjin to all the members of the National Assembly. They all performed the long-abandoned kneeling ceremony, and some people wept bitterly and decided to follow.

In fact, Zhu Yongxing has had this idea for a long time. Since the abdication, he began to deliberately arrange, and continued to invest in Australia, although he is the abdicated emperor, but how can the political, military, and commercial fields be without the past? The Zheng family of the maritime group, the Mengshan Ke family, the Long family, and the Duan Bai family, all sent people to move to Australia. There are also die-hard fans of Emperor Zhaowu. For example, the retired civil and military officials, and the retired and honorable generals and soldiers, all moved their minds and prepared in advance.

Up to now, there are 20,000 or 30,000 Chinese in Australia, and there are thousands of immigrants of different nationalities who are collectively known as the Ming people. The port has been expanded and houses have been built, although it is still along the coast. But what does it matter, as the population continues to grow. Expanding inland is inevitable.

The wind blew Zhu Yongxing's white hair, but he was old but not old, and behind him were several generals and high-ranking officials of the same age, all of whom were die-hard fans who wanted to follow him to Australia.

"If I hadn't been worried, I would have abdicated." Zhu Yongxing looked at the emperor's son who was in tears. patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in the past ten years, I am very relieved and proud of you." After saying it a thousand times, it's still the same truth. For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of the country and the nation, what is there to give up some power? Think of the kings who died in their kingdoms, and you will understand my painstaking efforts, and you will know that this is the blessing of future generations. Well, you are the emperor, crying like this is unseemly. Well, didn't we talk all night last night? In a word, I am at ease with you, and you are at ease with me! ”

"Father......" Yongjin Emperor Zhu Chongye wiped his tears, but he choked up and couldn't speak.

Zhu Yongxing patted his son's arm again, waved his hand to the courtiers who saw him off, and said loudly, "I'm leaving." I have shown you the way, and laid the foundation. In the future, you must help my sons, grandsons, and your emperors, so that the Ming Empire will always stand tall and be brilliant forever. Remember, I am not in a foreign land, but in my Ming territory. Remember, although my territory is vast, there is not an inch of excess, and whoever wants to occupy it by force will let their blood flow all over the field. Remember, if you don't move forward, you will go backwards, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten......"

………………

The ship set sail slowly, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live was inaudible. The sea breeze swept the waves against the plank, making a "popping" sound, splashing silver waves, as if bidding farewell to the people who were sailing.

It's a pity that Mengzhu and Wan'er have left me, and they can't talk and laugh with me anymore. Zhu Yongxing stood at the bow of the ship, and beside him stood the most loyal guard, Yang Guoxiang, who followed him all the time. is already white with sideburns, but the waist is very straight.

"You old fellow, why are you standing so straight, you are not standing guard?" Zhu Yongxing glanced back and scolded with a smile: "You look younger and stronger than me, don't you?" ”

"Hehe, how dare Weichen!" Yang Guoxiang relaxed at this time, but it was deliberate, that kind of standing posture was already his habit, and now it was purely to make Zhu Yongxing happy.

"Don't pretend now, when we get to Australia, let's ride horses and catch kangaroos." Zhu Yongxing knows that people are in good health, but he is still not convinced.

"That thing is not easy to handle, the two front paws flutter around." Yang Guoxiang thought of the strange guy sent to the Jingshi Zoo from Australia, paused, and said: "It's easier to get off the sleeve, just ride a horse!" ”

"Catch kangaroos, catch kangaroos." Before Zhu Yongxing could speak, with a childish voice, a small head appeared at the hatch, a little girl carved in pink, her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Jia'er when she was a child, but it was Jia'er's youngest daughter, Yun'er, who was only nine years old. The little guy pulled hard, and Jia'er, who was already a middle-aged woman, appeared helplessly. Although he is old, he is properly maintained, and he reveals a graceful and noble temperament.

"Grandpa Huang, take Yun'er to catch kangaroos." Yun'er smiled, broke free of her mother's hand, rushed to Zhu Yongxing, and was picked up by Zhu Yongxing laughing.

"Catch, what kangaroos, wombats, let's catch what we see." Zhu Yongxing kissed his granddaughter and smiled happily, as if he had returned to the youth when he was holding his daughter.

When the children are grown, they are like birds that soar in the sky. The princes have all traveled abroad on Zhu Yongxing's orders, and the farthest has even been to Britain, France and other countries, and Yongjin Emperor Zhu Chongye is one of them. Only by broadening his horizons, increasing his knowledge, and being educated by Zhu Yongxing's ears and eyes for a long time, did Zhu Yongxing rest assured that he ranked first on the list of heirs. The other three princes, one in Luzon and one in Borneo, the youngest with Zhu Yongxing will go to Australia.

And the princesses are also married far or near, and Zhu Yongxing is not forced to stay by his side. Rou'er is in Suzhou, Jia'er is by her side, Mei'er is in Shenyang, and Lan'er is in Saigon, all of whom have their own children. It was only at the 80th birthday banquet a few months ago that it was a rare time for them all to get together.

Spread out, nothing more. Zhu Yongxing is relieved and melancholy, but this is also what he advocates. If the family concept is not broken, how can we have the spirit of adventure and pioneering? How to make the footprints of Chinese people all over the world?

"Father, the wind is blowing, let's get in! The two concubines are not at ease! Jia'er stroked the hair on her forehead and said softly. Zhu Yongxing nodded, Long'er and Shulan, it's not easy for the old husband and wife to get to this point! But his eyes were still reluctantly looking in the direction of the shore, and the coast of his homeland in the distance became more and more blurred, until it completely disappeared from view. If the morning glow burns in the sky (end of the book)

I finished writing this book unsatisfactorily, it was very tiring, very hard, and there were many things that made my friends and myself unsatisfied. Thank you friends for your continuous criticism and support, you are my motivation, I bow and thank you.

I have written several books, my friends have pointed out, and I have my own feelings, and I know some of my strengths and weaknesses. At first, I wrote with indignation, but later I found that my pen was insufficient, and the scenes, atmosphere, and details were written reluctantly, and some opinions conflicted with some friends. It doesn't matter, they all hope that the country will be strong, that they and their compatriots will live happily, have self-esteem, and be proud in the world. Well, I hope that I can write better and better in the future, and I also hope to meet and talk with new and old friends again in the new book "Redemption on the Road to Blood". Here, I would like to wish my friends a smooth work, a happy life, and a happy family. (To be continued......)
