Zhang Fu returned to Beiping, and also brought back a message from King Ning, saying that he was grateful to Zhu Di for helping him this time and finding the real murderer of the assassination for him.

Zhang Fu is not a fool, he knows that this is a trick between vassal kings, and Zhu Quan is not a fool, he knows what Zhu Di means by doing this, even he doesn't know who the specific assassin is, will you Zhu Di know?

But how can you say that he is a younger brother, and he has to thank his brother for his kindness, right?

After dealing with the general affairs, Zhang Fu and Liu Sheng were left in the inner hall, Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu had to sigh and leave the palace, they also knew that this time was just a foil, to put it bluntly, they went to play soy sauce, and when they met a few Mongolians, they made money, and they didn't die is the biggest victory.

Zhu Di is very satisfied with the power of the Shenji Battalion, zero to six hundred, it seems that the efforts of more than a year have not been in vain.

"Liu Sheng, the Shenji Battalion has been strengthening training recently, and it is important to improve everyone's accuracy." Zhu Di listened to Liu Sheng's report and admonished.

"Yes, Your Highness, it's just that most of the gunpowder workshops in Beiping are under Zhou Yi's control, and if you strengthen training, I'm afraid the ammunition will ......," Liu Sheng said with some concern.

"You don't have to worry about ammunition, in Zhou Yi's troops, there are only a few dozen guns, and there is no ammunition at all. Didn't my father have a decree for me to go on a northern expedition this time, and the holy decree was gunpowder, and he dared not to give it? Not only do I want it, I want more! ”

Zhu Di's face was cold, he had been holding back with Zhou Yi for too long, if it wasn't for the big plan that Hu Ye had made for him before, Zhou Yi would have died a long time ago.

"Also, recruit more gunpowder craftsmen, the quality of gunpowder used in firecrackers is too poor, after all, it is not the first choice for flintlock pistols, we have to make our own. As for the Shenji Battalion. Now it's time to expand recruitment, a hundred-person Shenji battalion can affect the battle, but it can't win the war, I think it will take at least a thousand people! Zhu Di said loudly.

"Your Highness, the equipment needed for flintlock pistols is very rare, and only a hundred have been made in a year, and if you want to make a thousand, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult."

"I will send people to various places to collect the best steel, and as for the fire cloth of Daning, it has now been taken back by the commander of Shanxi. This is the will of the father, it seems that the father has already listed the fire cloth as a military material, and it is probably a little difficult to obtain it. Zhu Di stroked his beard, and then said, "Now there are only three hot air balloons, which is not enough at all." ”

Zhang Fu understood what Zhu Di meant by letting him throw the Mongols' handsome banner to King Ning, this is the politics between the vassal kings, who let the largest Huohuan mine in the north be in the jurisdiction of King Ning.

In the end, Zhu Di sent someone to Ningwang's mansion. As for whether or not they can get the fire cloth, it is not up to Zhang Fu and the others to take care of it, they just need to raise the hot air balloon into the sky.

Zhang Fu is a killer, and he naturally likes to fight and kill. When he sees an enemy, he cries out like a lamb to the slaughter. But Hu Ye, who is Zhang Fu's brother, doesn't like to fight and kill at all, if it weren't for Zhu Yunwen's threat. He will not follow Zhu Yunwen to Quanzhou.

But the fact is not subject to human will, Hu Ye didn't want to fight, kill, kill, but someone asked him to fight, kill, kill. Of course, only Zhu Yunwen can have this right.

"Your Highness, Weichen occasionally feels unwell, so you don't need to go out with the army, right?" Hu Ye looked at the sparkling piece in front of him, and suddenly trembled a little, as if he was sick.

Because this is not the calm West Lake, but the vast and boundless sea, now Hu Ye regrets the construction a few days ago, saying that he should take the initiative to attack, now it's okay, Zhu Yunwen adopted his own opinion, but he also had to pull himself on the boat to kill the widows.

"Dean Hu, I see that you are in good health, and you can still eat three chicken legs in one go last night, where is the sick look, aren't you afraid that the Japanese will take you captive?" Yun Zichen likes to see Hu Ye like this, this time he was a little excited, and finally saw Hu Ye's embarrassment.

"Phew! It's just two! ”

Hu Ye habitually talked to Yun Zichen, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, is there a difference between two chicken legs and three?

The other soldiers laughed when they heard it, and they didn't know whether they were laughing at Hu Ye as just a child, or laughing at Hu Ye's fear of getting on the boat.

"Laugh what a laugh! Laugh at me again and knock out your front teeth! ”

Seeing that his young master was ridiculed, Lao Qian quit, picked up the horizontal knife and was about to knock out the front teeth of the soldier closest to him, but was stopped by Hu Ye, because Xiao Qiang had already rushed up and bit off the soldier's crotch, but he didn't hurt the little cock, just ripped off the fig leaf, and the colorful bottoms appeared.

So everyone laughed again, adding a touch of comedy to the pre-expedition.

It seems that Zhu Yunwen was also amused by Xiaoqiang's entertainment spirit, and after letting the soldier go down to change clothes, he was ready to board the ship.

This ship is not a big ship, it is powerful enough to fit two or three hundred people, this is still Yongningwei pulled out of the cabin, it seems that it has not been driven for many years, and it can only go to sea after redecorating it with the military salary that Zhu Yuanzhang peeled off.

Lu Bing is not very familiar with this thing, after all, he has been a landlubber in Shunqing Mansion all his life, and let him evaluate the boat, isn't that to drive ducks up the tree?

But he also knows one thing, that is, Zhu Yunwen wants to go to sea, he must stop it, if he encounters any wind and waves, he will be fine if he dies, if Zhu Yunwen dies, no one in his family will survive.

"Okay, needless to say, I finally came to Quanzhou this time, how can I not go to sea once? I'd like to see what those old nests look like! ”

Zhu Yunwen did not listen to the dissuasion of the prefect and the commander, and the decision he made was to go to sea, and no one could stop him.

Since it couldn't be stopped, the group of landlubbers had to get on the boat, so the three broken ships that had just been renovated set off from the mouth of the Jinjiang River and sailed towards the sea.

Hu Ye is resolutely opposed to Zhu Yunwen's decision, even if he gets on the thief ship, he is also resolutely opposed, don't you see that the old money has vomited so much that he can't even hold a horizontal knife?

These three boats only carried a total of 1,000 soldiers, and most of them were people brought by Zhu Yunwen from Nanjing, and those were veritable landlubbers, at most they swam twice in the Yangtze River and the Qinhuai River, and once they entered the sea, they immediately vomited and fell down, and within an hour of getting on the boat, half of them had already lost their combat effectiveness.

Lu Bing's soldiers are okay, after all, they are all locals of Quanzhou, and their water nature is far better than the people brought by Zhu Yunwen, although they have not been to sea for a long time, but they will not vomit and diarrhea.

As for Zhu Yunwen himself, judging from his face, he didn't feel good, but he just couldn't bear to come out, after all, this idea was his idea, and it was impossible for him to retreat first without even finding the shadow of a widow?

Hu Ye and Xiaoqiang are no better than Lao Qian, after all, they have never been to the sea, and the bumps are too bad.

He sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, watched the seabirds in front of him fly around, and threw something from time to time, but accidentally hit a seabird.

After sailing for another hour, I don't know how far I sailed, the soldiers on the ship are basically no longer good, even if Zhu Yunwen insists, he must return to the voyage, otherwise even if he finds the nest of the Japanese Invaders, I am afraid that it is not them who annihilate the Japanese Invaders, but the Japanese Invaders who annihilate them.

However, just as Zhu Yunwen was about to give the order to return, Gong Yiji suddenly stood up and pointed to something looming in front of him.

Experienced soldiers knew at once that there must be an island ahead, but when they showed up their charts, they could not find such an island nearby.

Zhu Yunwen was still unwilling to return like this, so he ordered to continue sailing and rest on that island.

Soon, the fleet had reached the vicinity of the island, and because of the deep draft of the large ship, everyone changed to a small boat before landing on the island.

Zhu Yunwen naturally couldn't be the first to land on the island, but Yun Zichen went to play as a striker.

After roughly finding out that there was no enemy, Zhu Yunwen was allowed to go ashore.

It doesn't matter if you don't go ashore, as soon as you go ashore, Zhu Yunwen vomited non-stop, and she was suffocated on the boat.

After going to the island, Hu Ye looked at it curiously, as far as he knew, there were many such islands in the southeast coastal generation, and with the current navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty, it should be able to find out, but there was no mark on the chart, which means that the Ming Dynasty did not pay enough attention to things on the sea now.

This island is not very big, but the Tibetans can hide hundreds of people, so when the soldiers who came ashore eased up, Zhu Yunwen ordered a carpet search, even if it was a Jedi three feet, to find the traces of the Japanese invaders, otherwise they would not be able to explain when they went back.

Hu Ye did it all at once, the feeling of seasickness was too uncomfortable, and when he thought of being tortured again when he went back, Hu Ye wanted to settle down here, it felt too uncomfortable.

"Boy, have you heard of the Overseas Immortal Mountain?"

At this time, Gong Yiji, who had always been in high spirits, came to Hu Ye's side and asked mysteriously.

"Overseas Immortal Mountain? You don't want to tell me that you also believe in immortality, do you? Hu Ye glanced at him disdainfully.

The topic of immortality has always been the focus of everyone's attention, and Zhu Yunwen is no exception.

We just set foot on this island for a stick of incense, what is the situation, can you find an excuse to find a reliable one?

"There are indeed zài in overseas fairy mountains, where there are dozens of stones of grain per mu, as well as gadgets that can make people love it. But there is also a lot of danger there, ten go in, nine will hang up, and only one will come out alive. Hu Ye said loudly.

"The one who comes out alive has to become an immortal?" Yun Zichen asked with some curiosity.

"No, the one who came out alive must also be seriously ill, and he won't live for a few years." Hu Ye looked up at the sky and said with some exaggeration. (To be continued......)
