On the same day, Zhu Di flew back to the capital by helicopter and landed at the gate of the city.

Humans can really go to the sky, they fly around the sky, turn around and come back.

Chara stood on the city tower and watched the emperor and empress of the Ming Dynasty get out of the plane and wave to the people, causing the people to cheer and couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

In a flash, Chara has been in Daming for eight years, and over the years, he has married a wife in Daming and had children, and his children automatically have the nationality of Daming and go to school in Daming.

At first, Challa wanted to return to Portugal at all times, and he remembered the mission of the Tristang family to open up new routes for His Majesty the King.

But time passed slowly, and when he was able to speak Chinese fluently, when his children were born one after another and grew up slowly, he was no longer so eager to go back.

At this time, seeing the plane, Chara's heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to move again, if he drove the plane back, he could cross the distant ocean and return to his hometown after a long absence, right?

"Daddy!" When a child tugged at his trouser legs, Challa lowered his head and saw the younger son, who had been brought by the eldest son, and he bent down and picked up the younger son.

"Daddy, Ash, Ash!" The two-year-old child's speech is not clear, and the child's words are full of innocence.

"yes, Feifei!" Challa couldn't help but kiss her chubby son on the face, looking at his cute son, he felt guilty for the idea that he wanted to return to his hometown.

His wife and children in Tristang probably thought that he was dead a long time ago, because of that line, he is the only one still alive now, and their ship has long been transformed and sold for a large amount of money by the Ming Dynasty.

He will never return to Portugal in his lifetime.

The lively crowd gradually dispersed, but the craze for flying up will last for a long time, and tonight, the whole Ming will be sleepless, and human beings will fantasize about flying into the sky in their dreams.

Chara. Tristang is on Dongmen Street in the capital, when he was just under house arrest in Daming, he often came to the tofu brain stall here to drink tofu brain, and over time, he got along with the girl who sold tofu brain.

They are free to love, Chara. Tristang proposed to the girl, and soon after, Chara bought a house nearby, where they made their home.

On the day of Chara's wedding, Zhu Gaoxian personally came to drink the wedding wine and gave a pair of jade ruyi as a congratulatory gift.

Mrs. Tristang has her maiden name Wang, and according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, she is still called Wang.

Seeing her husband come back, she gave birth to a round face, no pockmarks on her face, with round eyes, and a blessed face, Wang hurriedly led her daughter out, and said with a smile, "Why, it's okay, there are a lot of people, I didn't lose the little stone, I'm worried about it." ”

I have to say that the security of Daming is so good that people have no vigilance.

Chara still reminded Wang, "Xiao Shiyan is too small, even if he has his brother with him in the future, it is best not to let him go out." ”

The two sons gathered around Wang to talk about today's plane, chattering, more lively than twelve sparrows.

However, Chara's interest did not seem to be high, and he stood for a while before going to the study. Wang saw it in his eyes and knew the knot in his husband's heart, but he could only be sad.

After the nurse took the younger son down, and the eldest son was looking for wood with great interest to make an airplane by himself, Wang came to the study and saw her husband sitting by the window, looking in the direction of the west.

"Sir!" As usual, Wang sat down beside her husband, and she took the initiative to hold his hand and gently rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm not trying to go back, I'm worried." For the first time, Challa confided in Wang.

"What are you worried about?" The Wang family is very strange, if the court had the intention to do something to her husband, it would not have waited so many years.

Wang's hand stroked Challa's mutilated arm, distressed.

"I'm worried that Daming will do something to Portugal." Chara said, "Although, they are separated by a long distance, they have to cross the ocean, and if they go by land, they will have to pass through many countries, but the Ming Dynasty is too powerful, and I am worried." ”

Wang put his mind at ease and said with a smile, "The master is too worried!" Da Ming is not like that, I have never seen Da Ming take the initiative to invade other countries. The emperor is very sage, and the four highnesses are not warlike, and it is impossible for them to travel far and wide to a country they have never been to to conquer them. ”

Challa shook her head, "But I still can't rest assured, I know that my thoughts are going crazy, but I have such a premonition in my heart." ”

Wang can only see her husband's worry as if he has been too tired lately, so he will have cranky thoughts.

At dinner, she cooked a cup of soup for him.

In the palace, Zhu Gaoxian accompanied Zhu Di to dinner, and only Huang Yan and Dog were left in the palace to serve, Zhu Gaoxian said, "Dad, my son has ordered to build fighter jets, and there are aircraft carriers that can support the ocean, if a transit station can be established on the island of Madagascar, in the future, the ships of the Ming Dynasty going to Africa will be able to replenish there, and all the Western ships passing through the Indian Ocean will not be able to cross us." ”

At this time, if Zhu Di couldn't guess his son's thoughts, he would also be a father and a king in vain.

Zhu Di stopped his fast son and looked at his son, "Do you want to do something to the West?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian pursed his lips, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "My son dreams of flying a plane to bomb those countries, they have burned and plundered in my land in China, and how many precious things have been robbed, this vengeful son wants to take revenge." ”

Zhu Di almost didn't think about it, nodded and said, "Well, I should report it back." It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, although we are a few years late, as long as there is hope to come back, it is not too late. ”

However, Zhu Di didn't want his son to take revenge in person, what kind of joke, his son was the heir of the Ming Empire, how could he risk himself?

"Who to go? Tan Yuan, Chen Heng or Zhang Fu? ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "Sanbao went to an Arab country, I don't know how it is now, and I haven't come back yet." I want Tan Yuan to go to Europe, go over there to have a look, and if he can grab it, he will grab it back. ”

Zhu Di had no opinion on this, and said, "Then let Tan Yuan come back, are you planning to wait for Sanbao to come back and let Sanbao go again?" ”

"Yes, the son wants Tan Yuan to partner with San Bao, San Bao is a very experienced captain, they go together, and the risk will be minimized."

Zhu Di didn't object, "Sanbao should be back soon, right?" ”

As soon as Masambau's ship approached the port of Aden, he landed with his men on land, and they walked through desolate lands, through sparsely populated villages, and through large densely populated towns to Mecca.

He saw the Grand Mosque of Mecca in the center of the city, the towering minaret, the Kaaba, and kissed the Black Stone.

Ma Sambao also chanted sutras on Mount Arafat and shot stones at Muzdalifa, and he, like his grandparents and fathers, completed at least one pilgrimage in his life.

The border line of the Ottoman Empire was almost to the Euphrates, and after Ma Sanbao had inspected the country and the situation here, he returned to the Gulf of Aden in the autumn and boarded the warship returning home.

Zhu Gaoxian welcomed back the envoy Ma Sanbao at the gate of Beijing, and he brought many merchants from Arab countries, pointing out a safe route for these merchants, and the industrial products of the Ming Dynasty and the spices of India were continuously transported to Europe by these Arabs.

"The country there is very poor, and the people are living in a very difficult situation. As His Highness guessed, the Ottoman Empire was conquering in all directions, and his subordinates had a conversation with the Ottoman Empire, and they originally planned to arrest their subordinates, but later, when the subordinates used force, they did not dare. “

On the car back, Ma Sanbao excitedly told Zhu Gaoxian about what he had seen this time, "Although the Ottoman Empire is in the middle, if the merchants of the Ming Dynasty still want to go to Europe through the area occupied by the Ottoman Empire, they will never dare to do anything." “

Zhu Gaoxian listened carefully, "Great, but for the first time through the Ottoman Empire, someone needs to open the way in front and walk out of the way." ”

Zhu Gaoxian thought for a while and said, "I was just about to send someone to Europe, and I originally wanted you and Tan Yuan to go by sea, and by the way, South Africa to have a look, you know, the gold mines there have kept me awake." If you can get there by land, you can't do it. ”

Ma Sanbao thought of this question seriously, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhu Gaoxian patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to the palace, and we'll discuss it when we get back." ”

Tan Yuan came back quickly, he had been waiting in the capital for half a month, and when he heard that Ma Sanbao was back, he was a little impatient.

The next day, Tan Yuan entered the palace.

Ma Sanbao served by Zhu Gaoxian's side, and after Zhu Gaoxian had breakfast with Zhu Di, Zhu Di announced that Tan Yuan would meet him, and the four of them, plus the Military Aircraft Department, stood in front of the world map, looking at the colorful sections.

"By land, or by water?" Zhu Di pointed to the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, "Or do we send two groups of people, one by land and the other by sea?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said, "Two groups of people, one by land, the imperial court leads, armed protection, civilian caravans participate, and the other goes by sea, or according to the old plan, Tan Yuan and Ma Sanbao sail over." ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow Zhu Gaoxian's fingers, from India all the way to the west, from the edge of the Caspian Sea, from the sky above the Ottoman Empire, to the Western countries.

On the other side, everyone's eyes went from the blue, vast sea to the entire earth, and then from the Ming Dynasty to the west coast of the Atlantic.

That's a long way off!

But Tan Yuan and Ma Sanbao's eyes were eager to try, they wanted to go and see, along the way, they would definitely encounter a lot of excitement and harvest.
