Chapter 2: The Bitter Battle
Yang Caiwei's mouth opened wide in disbelief, "But there are still so many things waiting for you to deal with in the imperial court!" ”
"If the world is without me for a few days, then what's the use of those courtiers?" Zhu Qizhen asked with a smile, and Yang Caiwei stayed happily.
Early the next morning, Zhu Qizhen ordered him to go down by sea to Qiongzhou to sweep the tomb.
Although the courtiers have opinions, whether it was before or now, when did Zhu Qizhen hear about them?
Fortunately, this year's trip to the West did not take place due to various technical reasons, in fact, it was a lack of money.
As a result, Yu Hai and the others are still on call in the shipyard, and the rest are occasionally transporting goods for each division according to the orders of the celebrant supervisor.
The rest of the time all the ships are almost idle, but the port of Tianjin is relatively busy, with the opening of the Daming sea ban, the number of ships is increasing, and the acropolis of Tianjin Wei this capital is also becoming more and more prosperous.
At the beginning of September, on the day selected by Yu Hai personally, Zhu Qizhen came to Tianjin Port, and in just a few months, it has changed from a depression to a prosperous appearance.
Large and small ships were scattered and moored in the corresponding areas according to the distinction between the government and the people, but because of the arrival of the emperor, there were no workers to load and unload.
While hiding in the cabin of the ship, which was still unable to avoid kneeling, with an order, the hula sounded into the sound of kneeling on the plank.
In one of the cargo ships, Ah Hao proudly whispered to his new friend on the side: "When the emperor went to our Qiongzhou, I saw his old man's dragon face!" ”
"You just brag!" My friend didn't believe it, but thought he was bragging.
"Really! Let me tell you, the emperor is very heroic......"
"Don't want to live anymore? Hurry up and shut up Lao Tzu and kneel down! ”
In a short time, Zhu Qizhen left the port and embarked on the road to Qiongzhou, and Tianjin Port returned to a prosperous scene.
"Ah Hao! What else to see? Can I believe what you say? A friend greeted him.
Ah Hao reluctantly retracted his gaze, looked at the whole ship of goods, and said ambitiously: "I must work hard for money, and also take root at the feet of this Tianzi!" ”
The companion shook his head helplessly, just thinking that he was talking nonsense.
Zhu Qizhen took the treasure ship all the way south, and the treasure ship at this time was still dominated by manpower, and the renewal of power was not something that could be completed in a year and a half.
After the treasure ship overlooked North Korea through Weihaiwei and entered the Yellow Sea, Zhu Qizhen looked hard to the east for a long time.

Yang Caiwei was puzzled and came up to ask him what he was looking at.
"Look at the picturesque rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty." A strange flash flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes.
"But isn't that Li Chao over there?"
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said nothing, and pulled Yang Caiwei away.
It's just a pity that the route is too far from the shore to see the prosperity of Jiangnan, and his eyes are just swept by Nanzhili.
However, I met a lot of fishermen along the coast of Zhejiang, looking at the big dragon flag, although the fishermen didn't know which prince was in charge, but they also knew to hurry up and give way.
The road was peaceful, and I passed through Fujian to Guangdong.
A month has passed, the temperature has begun to drop, and Zhu Qizhen led everyone to enjoy the scenery and play cards on the wide deck.
In fact, I have seen the sea a lot, and the endless scenery of the blue sky and white clouds is not new, but I am always bored in the cabin, so I can only come out for recreation.
"Call the landlord!"
"I'll rob it!"
"Haha, it's my landlord again!" Zhu Qizhen laughed and took away the hole cards.
immediately showed a contemplative look, even Yang Caiwei, who was not very good at it, could see that Zhu Qizhen's three, four, and five hole cards were not very good.
During this time, Zhu Qizhen, who was idle and bored, personally promoted the card game to fight the landlord, but the rice paper was too light, and it was stacked several layers to be used on this sea.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to play your cards!" Fan Zhong reminded.
Zhu Qizhen glared at him unhappily when he heard this, "I know!" A three! ”
Fan Zhong really had the goods in his hand, and when he heard that a big king cut it off, after two big straights, there was only one card left in his hand.
"You!" Zhu Qizhen looked at Fan Zhong in amazement.
"Your Majesty, there is only one card left for the minister! If you don't have a bomb, this guy will win! Fan Zhong smiled cheaply.
The onlookers on the side are also full of energy, if this wins, it will be spring.
When Zhu Qizhen promoted the game, he took advantage of everyone's unfamiliar rules.
As time goes by, he's been a loser for the most part.
At this moment, a cool breeze suddenly hit, blowing the cards on the table.
"Oops! Where did the wind come from? Zhu Qizhen exclaimed exaggeratedly, and hurriedly threw away the cards in his hand, "I still have a bomb in my hand, it's really not beautiful."

。 ”
Guozhang Yang Hao silently took out the two straights in his hand, just made up all the numbers, and the scene was embarrassed for a while.
At this moment, Yu Hai, who was at the helm, suddenly ran out of the cabin.
"Your Majesty! It's a change of face, hurry back to the cabin! Xiuyi, Xiuwen, you lead people to lower the sails! Remember to flood the bottom warehouse! Yu Hai roared anxiously.
Only then did Zhu Qizhen realize that the sky had lost sunshine at some time, and a gray cloud pressed on everyone's heads, and the dull atmosphere increased sharply.
Seeing that Yu Hai was so nervous, Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led everyone back to the cabin.
The sea was already changing, and the sky, which had just been gray, was immediately as black as ink.
The gentle southwesterly wind began to become frenzied, and the body of the treasure ship shook frequently, even when the draft was so deep.
"Your Majesty, look, the sea has turned black!" Guo Mao shouted uninsightedly.
The father and daughter of the Yang family originally lived by the sea, and immediately explained to Guo Mao: "The sea water is originally colorless, it is blue when the sky is blue, and now it is black when it is dark." ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded in confirmation, looking at the black clouds, the inexplicable mania in his heart became stronger and stronger.
From the sun shining brightly, to the black clouds not even half an hour, the wind also blew stronger and stronger from the originally warm breeze.
Fortunately, Yu Hai was experienced, and he ordered someone to lower the sails early and filled the bottom warehouse with water.
Otherwise, with the current wind, even if it is the best navigation weapon now, the treasure ship may not be able to hold on.
As the sails fell, the wind grew stronger, and huge raindrops pierced the sky and fell on the deck, splashing a misty splash.
Zhu Qizhen came to the cockpit at the stern of the boat, and saw Yu Hai holding the steering wheel and rudder, nervously staring at the rising waves in front of him.
"Your Majesty!" Yu Xiuyi saluted at the door.
"Well, how's it going?" Zhu Qizhen looked into the cabin.
At this time, what I am most afraid of is civil strife, Yu Hai has long told Zhu Qizhen that he wants everyone to return to their cabins and stand by.
Because in the face of such weather, manpower is no longer useful, and may even disrupt the navigation of ships.
Yu Xiuyi's brows furrowed, he looked at his father, and shook his head honestly: "This time the sea breeze is a little evil, I'm afraid there will be a hard fight." ”
