The prince who is free finally has time to do something he wants to do.

Yingtian City in June and July is already extremely hot.

However, this did not stop the prince from wanting to do things.

Early in the morning, after breakfast in the East Palace, Zhu Biao took the chamberlain to the harem to greet all the mothers.

The grandson and granddaughter are still cute.

The only advantage of the old man's absence in Beijing is that the prince can finally get his hands on his own good grandson and good granddaughter.

After watching the mothers, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, Zhu Biao went to a relatively quiet place in the palace before leaving the palace.

The palace garden was very delicate by Qiu Niang, and there were even a lot of vegetable seeds in the corner that were begged for from the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor.

Zhu Biao couldn't tell what it was, but he had heard that Young Master Yuan seemed to like this little girl very much, and often said that he should let her go to Lin Yuan to do things.

It's just that his daughter's family, after all, it is still inconvenient to go out every day, and Young Master Yuan has no choice but to send some fresh and rare seeds to the palace.

When Zhu Biao came over with a group of people, Qiu Niang was cultivating new land in the corner.

Seeing that the prince was coming, Qiu Niang immediately put down the hoe in her hand and bowed to the side.

"See Your Highness."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, and whispered: "I've said it many times with you, like everyone else, it's okay to call your father or father, why bother to be so angry." ”

Qiu Niang lowered her head and held her hands together with her sticky soil: "The number of rites cannot be wasted." ”

Zhu Biao's gaze was calm.

This little girl is good in everything, but she has been in the palace for so long, and she is still extraordinarily restrained.

Seeing that the courtyard was full of greenery, Zhu Biao said with a smile: "How many times did Young Master Yuan say that you would like to go to the Lin Yuan Prison?" ”

Qiu Niang didn't know why the prince said this, thinking that the prince blamed herself.

She hurriedly buried her head lower and whispered, "The young master asked people to say it a few times, but the maid refused." ”

"Refuse to do anything, Shanglin Yuan Prison is not a place to go." Zhu Biao moved his mouth and said.

Qiu Niang was a little surprised, and raised her head just in time to see the prince's smiling face.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "You grew up in Fengyang since you were a child, and you have been in this palace for a long time, and you are always uncomfortable. I've already told the palace that as long as you want to leave the palace, they will send someone to escort you to the Lin Yuan Prison. There was no one over there, all flowers and plants, cattle and sheep crops. ”

The steward of the palace told him before that he could leave the palace at will, as long as he came back on time.

But since Qiu Niang entered the palace, she has been cautious and careful. But whenever there is nothing to say in the palace, she stays quietly in this palace that only belongs to her, taking care of flowers and plants every day, and planting some seasonal vegetables.

In the end, he naturally waited quietly for his husband to come back.

Now hearing the prince say it himself, a trace of joy flashed on Qiu Niang's face.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao just smiled silently and continued: "By the way, I want to leave the palace today and go to Longjiang Shipyard. You also know that now Yun Wei has discovered the New World with people, and the imperial court has set an errand to develop the New World. Today is the day when the newly built fleet at Longjiang Shipyard goes to sea, do you want to go and see it together? ”

Qiu Niang's face couldn't hide the joy, and looked at the prince cautiously: "The maid can also go together?" ”

"What's the matter, there aren't many courtiers here today, except for us, there are only people from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion left."

Zhu Biao said casually.

The development of the New World by the Imperial Court is naturally a major event, but the newly built naval fleet of the Imperial Court went to sea to cross the ocean and arrived at the New World on the other side of the ocean, and the Imperial Court did not prepare much for the farewell.

The ministries and departments only sent some men to the fleet according to the requirements, preparing to be able to carry out activities quickly after arriving in the New World, build a perfect administrative system in the New World as soon as possible, and finally transport the resources of the New World back through the naval fleet.

Compared with the fact that there were not many important ministers who went to the Longjiang Shipyard to send them off, the courtiers were actually already working out what kind of ceremony they should greet when the fleet returned with full resources.

Qiu Niang thought about it, and finally nodded crisply: "Go and prepare." ”

Seeing that this daughter-in-law finally agreed, Zhu Biao showed a touch of pity on his face, and said with a smile: "Go, time is not in a hurry." ”

Shaoqing, on the carriage out of the palace.

Zhu Biao looked at Qiu Niang who didn't know where to get a men's dress.

This girl is still restrained in the end, even if she follows herself out of the palace, she doesn't want to show her true face.

In a short time, the carriage had already entered the confines of the Longjiang Shipyard.

Today's shipyards are a little more fortified than they used to be.

The most obvious is the circle outside the entire shipyard, and I don't know when a brand new trench has been excavated, which is three feet wide.

Behind this ditch was a large open field, and there were several strategic points where fortified barracks had been built, which had not been done before.

Walk through the open space to reach the heart of the shipyard.

Longjiang Shipyard, in order to cross the ocean this time, has cleaned up the shipbuilding platform in advance.

Behind the finishing shipbuilding platform, on a trestle near the water, a huge brand new fleet is docked.

The first steam warship built by the Ministry of Industry was docked at the core of the fleet, and the rest were rebuilt after the Eastern Crusade to be more suitable for ocean-going deep-sea voyages.

Personnel, horses, and supplies have all been loaded into the cabin by today.

The people of the Dadu Governor's Office, under the leadership of Cabinet Minister Seo Yun-gong, are waiting for the arrival of the crown prince.

On the lookout on the side of the trestle, everyone saw Zhu Biao and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao was very calm, walked lightly to the lookout, and then waved: "Get up, today is the day when the ocean-going fleet goes to sea, they are the protagonists, not the lonely." ”

Zhu Biao said a joke, and in the smiles of everyone, he walked to the front of the lookout.

Xu Yungong silently looked at a man's dress, but he didn't hide much Qiu Niang.

Royal affairs, it's better not to get involved.

The people of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion naturally also discovered Qiu Niang in men's clothes, but they all chose not to see it, and followed the prince to the front of the lookout.

"In addition to the latest steam warship built by the Ministry of Industry, there are also twelve modified deep-sea warships and forty-eight transport ships."

Xu Yungong gave Zhu Biao a detailed introduction to the specific accounts of the imperial navy fleet crossing the ocean this time.

Another military general from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also spoke: "On this trip, there are 12,000 officers and sailors in the fleet. The Ministry of Works and the General Supervisor were accompanied by 1,000 craftsmen. All the accounts are here. ”

As he spoke, a ledger was sent to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took the account book and looked at it.

Very detailed.

The Metropolitan Governorate had made all the plans for the entire fleet, down to how much food would need to be consumed each day, and how much food would be left after arriving in the New World, in addition to the inedible supplies.

There's really nothing good about the ledger.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court still needed to explore the South and Western Oceans, the imperial court would have invested more resources in the East China Sea Fleet in front of it.

According to the news from the Admiralty of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it seems that the fleet on the South Sea side is about to come back, and I heard that it is related to mineral resources.

The fleets on the Western side were intensifying their exploration of the sea routes and the western coastline, trying to send an entire fleet out of Europa's harbor.

Zhu Biao looked at the East China Sea Fleet that was about to set sail in front of him, and said with a smile: "Previously, Taisun and Gu said that the Ming Dynasty needed to build a naval fleet that was invincible in this world.

The East China Sea Fleet is worthy of the name of the Ming Royal Navy! ”

No wonder the old man said that one day, he wanted to sail a boat.

Zhu Biao looked at the majestic naval fleet in front of him, and he was also full of enthusiasm at this moment.

Behind the guns on both sides of the warship, the barrels with black holes were silent, even if they were silent at the moment, which made people shudder.

The prince can't think of anyone else in today's world who can be the opponent of the fleet in front of him.

And Xu Yungong and others are even happier.

It was the first time they had spoken from the mouth of a member of the royal family, especially the crown prince.

Ming Royal Navy!

There's nothing more uplifting than this.

"Ming Royal Navy!"

I don't know who shouted, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

He was a military officer of the Admiralty of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were over, the Admiralty official immediately lowered his head.

And yet the next moment.

Seo Yungong had already raised his arms.

"Daming Royal Navy, long live!"

No one can live long live but the emperor.

But a group, or a thing, can be called that.

With Xu Yungong's raised arms and shouted.

Everyone present at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion raised their arms and shouted.

"Ming Royal Navy!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Xu Yungong's face was full of excitement, from today onwards, all the warships and officers and soldiers adrift on the water in Daming can be called the Ming Royal Navy.

This is an unprecedented honor.

And after the Royal Navy.

Under the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, the army is stronger in numbers and combat power.

The name of a royal army is probably not too long.

Qiu Niang blinked her bright eyes and looked at everything that was happening in front of her.

This is a Da Ming she has never seen, a Da Ming that makes everyone's blood boil.

And the fleet in front of her, which has just been called the East China Sea Fleet of the Ming Royal Navy, is about to set sail for the New World, and maybe soon, her husband will be able to return on these warships.

Zhu Biao did not stop the boiling of these people.

From the day when the imperial court began to reform, gradually deprived the military department of some of its responsibilities, and concentrated exclusively on the Dadu Governor's Mansion, it has been clear within the imperial family that all armed forces in the Ming Dynasty must always be controlled by the royal family.

The name of a Royal Navy is nothing.

Xu Yungong saw that the prince did not object, so he looked up at the sky.

After making sure that it was almost time to plan.

Xu Yungong stepped forward with a solemn expression.

"Royal Navy."

"Set sail!"

On the trestle in the distance, the war drums thundered.

The sound of the horn is long and far-reaching, causing ripples on the surface of the river.

One by one, the huge sails were unfurled, and in the blink of an eye, they were blown by the wind.

The steam warship let out a loud whistle and slowly moved after a puff of smoke.

On the wharf, the workers of the Longjiang Shipyard were cheering.

In the lively and boiling crowd, Zhu Biao slowly turned his head and looked at Qiu Niang beside him: "Don't worry, Brother Bing'er will be back soon." ”

……

"Zhu Yunwen, next time you do this, I can't save you!"

On the endless plain, Sun Cheng carried a knife and shouted at Zhu Yunwen, who was covered in blood, with anger on his face.

Zhu Yunwen stuck the bladed knife in his hand on the ground, and with blood on his face, he showed a mouthful of white teeth at the angry Sun Cheng.

Around the two of them, on the vast plains.

The coalition of Indians, armed and trained by the Ming Dynasty, is in the process of post-war cleanup.

This was the thirty-seventh Indian tribe they had conquered against the Ming in the New World.

According to the report of the Indians to which Daming belongs, the Indian tribes on the grassland who oppose the existence of Daming are uniting step by step.

Fortunately, more Indians are turning to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to join in the glorious evolution brought about by the Ming Dynasty.

The green space on both sides of the river on the west coast has been reclaimed by Zhu Yunwen and his people.

The seeds they bring are growing vigorously.

Grains belonging to the New World have also been planted experimentally.

Zhu Yunwen still remembers what Shanglin Yuanjian has done in the past few years, and also remembers that when they came to the New World, the value of fresh crops is far more important than those immovable mineral resources.

looked at the angry Sun Cheng.

Zhu Yunwen just kicked the body of an opponent away from his feet.

"If you're not here, I don't dare do this."

As soon as these words came out, Sun Cheng was suddenly dumbfounded, and the anger on his face disappeared, leaving only a helpless face.

He stepped forward with his sword and looked at the end of the plain with wary eyes: "We need to go back, reorganize our men, train the natives, and re-strengthen our city to prevent the arrival of the Indian coalition, and wait for the support of the imperial court." ”

"Got it, got it." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand a little indifferently: "Defend the outpost of the New World for the imperial court and wait for the arrival of the imperial army, which is the time for us to attack in a big way." ”

Sun Cheng nodded: "The current situation is very good for us." As long as we hold the base and let the locals who have taken refuge in us strengthen their beliefs, this continent will be our Ming sooner or later. ”

Zhu Yunwen pouted.

Turning his head to look at the native coalition on the steppe.

He whistled.

Those natives who had been trained by the Ming army began to gather from all sides.

The plan for the removal of the western part of the continent has been almost carried out.

If you continue to fight, you will only consume too many natives, which will lead to the discouragement of the army.

Zhu Yunwen naturally understands this truth.

He turned his head to look west.

Behind the rolling mountains is the base they have built on the coast, a new city that has yet to be named.

Outside the city, on the seaside, in the deep water area, a wharf is also being led by the Ming people to step up the construction of the locals.

When the king set sail on the coast, it was the day when the Ming Dynasty took control of the new world!
