The stronger the Ming is, the more ambitious these subject countries will be, but it will also make them proud, and it doesn't seem to be a shame to submit to such a big country.

The envoys of the sixteen countries announced that all the tributes to be paid in the coming year would be doubled, hoping to establish a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

There is no doubt that this wave is a big profit!

When Zhu Chen was in blood, the double hammer smashed the big drum, the drum was torn in response, and the snare drum was smashed through.

The drumming finally stopped, and the soldiers stopped drilling.

After seeing that the big drums were smashed by Zhu Chen, the soldiers in the audience looked at Zhu Chen in surprise.

Below, several excited shouts were heard.

"Brother, well done!"

"Brother, which battalion of yours is going with us to kill the Tartars in the Northern Yuan."

"If you punch up, you can definitely smash the Tatar Taishi Arutai."

This is the praise of the soldiers to Zhu Chen, Zhu Chen laughed: "Okay, if there is a chance in the coming year, I will definitely kill the Tartars with you and make contributions to the country." ”

The soldiers in the audience burst into laughter.

"Okay."

"Don't break your word."

"A good man should kill the enemy on the battlefield, defend the family and the country, and establish immortal feats."

Zhu Chen also smiled and agreed one by one, this is his promise to the soldiers!

One day, he will also go to the battlefield with the old man, this is the nature of men.

Turning his head again, he saw that the envoys of various countries were bowing to him, Zhu Chen was slightly stunned, and stepped forward to help them up: "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”

And said with a smile: "The blade of the Ming Dynasty will always only be towards the enemy, not towards your own people, don't be afraid, the Ming Dynasty is strong, it is your protection." ”

Zhu Chen said this to them.

The same implication is: if you are not your own people, then you have to be cautious.

The envoys of various countries felt a pang in their hearts, how could they not understand this, but their good impression of Zhu Chen could not be erased, and they couldn't help but thank them one after another: "Then thank you Daming." ”

……

In the next few days, the old man lived in Jiming Temple and lived leisurely, while Zhu Chen took over Zheng He's work, accompanied the envoys to play around, and took them to appreciate the customs of the Ming Dynasty.

It was also in this back and forth that Zhu Chen became familiar with them.

They also recognized Zhu Chen very much, and became friends with Zhu Chen.

And isn't that what the old man wants to achieve?

This is paving the way for Zhu Chen's future, and it is also accumulating an overseas network for him.

Zhu Chen accompanied the envoys during the day and came back to study at night, but he studied hard every day until late at night (about two o'clock in the morning) before going to bed.

This is Zhu Chen's perseverance.

On this night, Zhu Chen studied until late at night as usual, the oil lamp was still burning, and the figure of the young man sat at the table, quietly flipping through the ancient books, only the rustle of turning the pages remained.

It's rare to work so hard.

An hour later, Zhu Chen blew out the lights and went back to his room to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Zhu Chen couldn't sleep, he recalled the scene of the military camp that day, and it was precisely because of this that Zhu Chen realized how much energy the old man had.

I'm afraid, not just like the old man said, he is just a small general in the army.

A junior general in the army can let the emperor personally send to accompany the envoys, and can mobilize the 5,000 troops in the military camp just by following him?

Zhu Chen didn't believe in these at all.

However, Zhu Chen didn't plan to debunk the old man, since he wanted to hide his identity, maybe it was for his own good.

"Forget it, I don't want to do this, it's the college exam in two days, and tomorrow I can send away the envoys of the sixteen countries, and prepare for the exam the day after tomorrow." Zhu Chen lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't want to be able to get a lot of exams, as long as he could get rid of Sun Shan.

……

The next day, the Ming Palace, in the Shang study.

A few old guys are dealing with the government affairs, they are all ministers in power in the court, and the prince is with them, correcting and correcting them.

As soon as he was sick, the prince couldn't sit still, because there were a bunch of notes waiting for him to deal with.

At this time, Yang Shiqi saw a note, he handed it to the prince, and said with a smile: "Prince, Zheng He handed over the excerpt, saying that the envoys of the Sixteen Kingdoms are leaving Yingtian today, should we send it?" ”

Xia Yuanji said solemnly: "If you want to send it, you must send it." ”

"No." Yang Shiqi said with a smile.

The crown prince and Yang Shiqi glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "No need to send it, someone will send it for us." ”

Household Shangshu Xia Yuanji frowned and said: "Why are you like this, my Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, how can I send an unknown person to send it?" ”

"If you don't send it, then I'll go to the head office, right?"

Xia Yuanji said that he was going to leave the study room and rush to the dock to wait for them.

Yang Shiqi hurriedly grabbed Xia Yuanji and said with a smile: "Who told you that you are a nobody, and you have your own royal family to send you away." ”

The imperial grandson is the eldest son of the crown prince, Yang Shiqi also pays attention to the movements of the imperial grandson, and the prince is also very clear that the two of them are like mirrors in their hearts, and they both know that Zhu Chen has been in contact with the envoys recently.

If they went, wouldn't they steal the limelight from Zhu Chen?

Moreover, the crown prince and Yang Shiqi are eager to open the way for the emperor's grandson, how can they steal his limelight.

"Royalty?" Xia Yuanji was stunned, not knowing who it was.

If Xia Yuanji knew that it was Zhu Zhanji, who had been missing for eleven years, he would probably not be able to control his emotions, but this person has a special relationship with Zhu Zhanji......

At the same time, Ying Tianfu Wharf.

The wharf here is not much worse than the Tianjin wharf, and large ships can enter and transport all kinds of materials.

Zhu Chen came out of the post station with the envoys of the Sixteen Kingdoms and went directly to Yingtianfu Wharf.

When we arrived at Yingtianfu Wharf, various ships docked on the shore, and at a cursory glance, there were about hundreds of boats.

The wharf is also a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the docked ships, which makes the sense of history a little stronger.

It's just that when Zhu Chen came to the dock, he was stunned: "What about the Daming treasure ship?" ”

It is reported that Zheng He's treasure ship in the Western Ocean is the largest ship in the world, and Zhu Chen has never seen it, and he wants to see it.

"Hehe, the treasure ship is docked in Tianjinwei, and it will not affect the trade and transportation in the south." Zheng He replied.

The treasure ship is too big, and if it stops here, it will directly paralyze the sea transportation.

Zhu Chen understood, Zheng He beckoned, and immediately a medium-sized boat sailed towards the shore.

The envoys of the Sixteen Kingdoms and Zheng He boarded the ship one after another.

And Zhu Chen stood at the shore entrance, escorted them to the boat, and waved to them at the same time.

On the ship, the envoys of the sixteen countries also looked at Zhu Chen and waved goodbye to Zhu Chen desperately.

"This is the imperial grandson of our Ming Dynasty, and he will send you away, and the identity will not be bad." Zheng He sighed on the side.

The King of Ceylon nodded: "We know." ”

"The imperial grandson is brave and incomparable, close to the subject country, approachable, and when he ascends the throne, my Ceylon parliament will bring the most sincere blessings and tributes to come to worship the third king of the Ming Dynasty!"

With the highest courtesy, the little fisherman king saluted to the shore: "The imperial grandson is my best friend in Daming, and if he ascends the throne, Sumatra will send ten carts of gold as a sign of respect." ”

The envoys of the other countries also nodded their heads, expressing similar meanings.

Zheng He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled: "What if he hadn't ascended the throne?" What if his throne was robbed by someone else? ”

King Han and King Zhao are threats to Taisun after all.

The little fisherman king said in a deep voice: "If his throne is robbed, as long as the Taisun needs it, we can send troops to follow the treasure ship back to support the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty." ”

The King of Ceylon nodded: "I agree." ”

"I'm in Java too."

The responses of various countries made Zheng He feel that the conspiracy had succeeded, and he looked at the vague young figure on the shore, with a smile on his face: "Imperial grandson, everything is laid out for you, and you have to sit in that position." ”
