Chapter 326: Capture the Thief and Capture the King
Zhu Di saw that the volume of "Yongle Canon" in his hand was grand. Much larger than the size of a regular book. Quite royal majesty. I can't help but be very satisfied. He smiled and asked, "This book is long and wide. There are so many ancient books that have been copied. It takes a lot of manpower."
"The book is one foot five inches and six minutes long. Nine inches wide and three cents. Gather more than 20,000 people from the government and the opposition. It is transcribed in pavilion style." Xie Jin replied.
The battle of Jingyan seized the throne. It is inevitable that there are scholars in the court and the opposition who refuse to agree with the legitimacy of their throne. The matter is always like a haze. lingered in Zhu Di's heart. The reason why he ordered Yao Guangxiao. Xie Jin and others spared no manpower. The purpose of compiling the "Yongle Canon" is to create a culture that surpasses his father. In order to subdue the hearts of the people of the world. Today, I see that the glorious ceremony is completed. The mood is extremely pleasant. Zhu Di, who is moody on weekdays, is full of smiles. He asked tirelessly, "Such a vast ceremony. It's not a lot of work to look up books."
Xie Jin took a copy from the "Yongle Canon" and prepared it for a long time. Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the compilation of "Hongwu Zhengyun" in the past years. His Majesty has no worries. This "Yongle Canon" uses rhyme to unify the characters. Compiled in a word system. According to the finals in "Hongwu Zhengyun". Separate words according to each rhyme. List the phonetics of each word in detail. Exegesis and its seals. Scribe. Model. Cursive various book styles. Then in turn the information about astronomy. Geography. Personnel. Famous objects and even anecdotes. Poems, lyrics and songs are included with the words. The searcher only needs to find the word because of the rhyme. Because of the word to test things. There is nothing to hide when the book is opened."
Zhu Di shook his head again and again when he heard this. smiled: "Unveil the outline and see it. Shake it up from the beginning to the end. This "Yongle Canon" shocks the past and the present. When I can show my great brightness and brilliant governance. Passed on to future generations."
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also shocked by this huge and incomparable "Yongle Grand Canon". They all bowed down to the earth and shouted long live.
When Zhu Quan shouted long live and bowed. But in his heart, he couldn't help but think: Zhu Laosi did not hesitate to spend endless manpower and material resources to compile the "Yongle Canon". Although it is inevitably selfish. But that's 370 million words. Books that have not been edited are indeed unprecedented. There is no one after that. So that my Ming Dynasty's Wenzhi is enough to be compared with the Tang and Song dynasties. Come to think of it. The sycophancy of doing that mountain call is two more heartfelt than usual.
Within the old port of Sriwijaya in the island nation of the West. Hundreds of large and small ships have been moored. Crowded. Fierce pirates shout for the spices that will be plundered. Coral. Pearls and other goods were brought off the ship.
On the deck of several seized ships. Stained with filthy blood. Let the minions splash the sea water and scrub it hard. Still stubbornly refusing to dissipate. Confirmed not so long ago. There was a brutal killing.
One year is about forty years. Horizontal eyebrows. A bronzed man stands at the bow of the ship. With a wave of his hand, he drew the blood-stained iron knife in the sharkskin sheath around his waist. Wave to a pirate. To that floods the nose end. Mixed with sea water. Bloody. The strange smell of fish seems to be unnoticed. Apparently accustomed to it. He is the one who crosses the seas. This gang has made the island nations talk about tigers. A restless pirate leader. CHEN Zuyi.
Chen Zuyi turned a blind eye to the boxes of goods on the shore. I was watching a three-masted galleon drift away. On top of that sailboat. He sent him away. To Zheng He, the chief officer of the Ming fleet, he showed that he was willing to lead his troops to submit to his subordinates. Joke. Chen Da is in charge of the world. Kill the kings of those island nations. Offer the treasure obediently. When a woman is afraid of who comes. How could they be afraid of Zheng He's fleet? This is nothing more than a trick to lure the enemy. The shrimp soldiers and crabs under his command were greedy for the mountains of goods carried by Zheng He's huge fleet when they returned home. Chen Da took a fancy to the small mountain-like ships. As you can imagine. If the more than 10,000 outlaws under his command who kill people without blinking an eye have that big ship with nine masts and twelve sails. I'm afraid that even the Japanese shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will have to send someone to show his goodwill.
The blue waves are vast. Above the endless ocean. Treasure ships flying the flags of the sun and the moon break the waves. In the center is the largest flagship of the largest in size. A well-spoken subordinate of Chen Zuyi. Zheng He, who is telling the Ming fleet, is about returning to obedience. It is nothing more than the ancestral home of Chen Da's family in Guangdong. The ancestors were good people. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he fled to the sea to escape the war. Being bullied and having to gather a crowd to steal. In fact, the heart is Middle-earth. Conscience is not exhausted. Now I know that the Ming Dynasty is powerful. There are fleets of ships going to the countries of the West. May the lost be returned. Bring all the people to the messenger. Follow the fleet back to the Ming Dynasty. Loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
Zheng He, who was lying comfortably on the brocade collapse, ordered two sturdy sergeants under his command to put the half-man high. The blood-red corals are lifted taller. After a look at the sun. Impatiently interrupted the pirate's sycophancy. smiled: "This seat has been out to sea for a long time. It's the first time I've seen such a huge crystal clear blood coral. Chen Zuyi has been on the sea for many years. I've really collected a lot of treasures."
The pirate with the scar on his face is a well-behaved person deliberately selected by Chen Zuyi. Seeing this gorgeous costume. The greed in the eyes of the Ambassador, who focuses on enjoyment, is hard to hide. Although there is a secret contempt in my heart. But there is no expression on his face. He scolded the two men and presented a wooden box that had already been prepared.
Zheng He reached out and grabbed a few pearls in the wooden box. Everything you see is a round one. Thumb-sized. It's even more smiling. It turns out that a pearl the size of a thumb is worth a thousand dollars. But it's not uncommon in the world. But the difficulty is that a box full of almost all of them is average size. That's pretty rare.
Take a few sips of the tea served by the attendant. Zheng He wiped his mouth with a silk scarf. Lie down again. Said slowly: "Chen Zuyi is also knowledgeable and interesting. That's it. That's it. This seat remembers his homeland. Give it a chance to change its ways. Go back. Ordered him to meet the Ming fleet in the old port."
The pirates saw Zheng He's domineering appearance. Suppress the anger in your heart. Don't dare to show it in the slightest. Lead his subordinates to retreat. Set sail in the boat.
With the sound of footsteps on the deck. A man about thirty years old, under the guidance of the soldiers, came to Zheng He, who was standing on the side of the ship, bowed down and saluted, "The villain Shi Jinqing greets the adult."
Zheng He turned around when he heard this. Waved him to his feet. He asked in a deep voice, "How many troops does Chen Zuyi's gang of thieves have?" It turns out that this Shi Jinqing's ancestor is a Fujian person. It was also the end of the Yuan Dynasty to go to sea to escape the war. But it became a maritime merchant who traveled to and from the island nations. Grandparents in the family. Fathers. Several brothers were killed by pirates under Chen Zuyi while sailing out to sea. It can be said that he has a grudge with Chen Zuyi for many years. After learning more than a month ago, Chen Zuyi gathered his men scattered on the islands to gather in the old port of Srivijaya and guessed that they coveted the Ming fleet. Immediately sail out to sea. I was able to meet Zheng He a few days ago.
Shi Jinqing has been doing business in various island countries for a long time. I also know a lot about Chen Zuyi's forces. Hearing this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Chen Zuyi's pirates. There are dozens of gangs in total. More than thousands. Hundreds at least. I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people. And it's all skillful. Outlaws skilled in naval warfare."
Zheng He heard that Chen Zuyi had tens of thousands of people. There will inevitably be some surprises in my heart. Quietly asked, "As you see. The sergeant of my Daming fleet is better at sailing than Chen Zuyi's subordinates." Speaking of which. After a brief pause, Zhengse continued: "This war is about our life and death. I hope you know everything."
Shi Jinqing sighed softly and replied, "I will see it in a few days. The officers and men of our Daming Naval Division are also proficient in sailing boats. Then board the ship and fight than the pirates and the like. I'm afraid it's still a little bit inferior."
Zheng He shook his head when he heard this. Pacing back and forth and thinking silently. He sailed for a long time. Naturally, this gang is criss-crossed. Pirates who call ships home must not be underestimated. Seeing his sergeant present a three-foot long sword in both hands. I couldn't help but draw my sword out of its sheath. Wipe the blade of the freshly sharpened sword with your fingers. Recalling the battles of thousands of troops in the past. Suddenly, the arrogance was vigorous. Laughing: "I have a new sword to grind. I'm about to drink the blood from the thief's neck." With that, he waved his hand and slashed down with a sword.
"Click" between the sounds. As thick as a child's arm. The coral sticking out diagonally is cut off by a sharp sword. Zheng He returned the sword into the sheath. Shen Sheng shouted to the Ming army generals on both sides of the solemn voice: "The generals listen to the order. Ordered the ship's men to pack up the oil. Rocket. Archery. Firecracker. Artillery. As well as quicklime powder in the hold for backup. I am waiting for a decisive battle with Chen Zuyi."
The generals know that Zheng He was also a battle-hardened person in the past. At this time, I saw that he was confident. Immediately, my mind was settled. They all agreed.
At dusk. The flotilla gradually approached the old port. Chen Zuyi sent people to drive a ship to pick up Zheng He's flagship into the port. and request to board the ship for an audience. Zheng He agreed. Immediately ordered a feast to be held on the deck.
Distant sea-sky junction. A red sun is slowly setting. Wang Jinghong, the deputy envoy standing beside Zheng He, asked Zheng He in a worried whisper: "Chen Zuyi and his gang of pirates are well-known. Let them board the ship and get close. Isn't it a little too risky?"
"Please enter the urn. Capture the thief and capture the king. Just take down Chen Zuyi. These pirates are a rabble." Zheng He replied softly as if nothing had happened.
Old port shore in twilight. Small sea boats slowly drift off shore. It's full of pirates with fierce faces. Look at the huge ships on the sea in the distance. All of them have a fierce look. As if quietly approaching the prey. Wait for the opportunity to start. Rise up and hurt the beast. Clutches clenched in their hands. and all of them were blackened with fireworks. so as not to reflect the light under the light. So much so that it was discovered by enemy troops.
Chen Zuyi looked at the small boats that were trailing up the front and back of the boat. Triumphantly walked up to the bow of the boat. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the brightly lit Daming fleet on the sea in the distance.
The waves on the sea are undulating. When Chen Zuyi's boat approached Zheng He's flagship. It's already dark. A foot away. The light of the torches was powerless.
Climb aboard the diagonal springboard. Look up at the torches on the boat opposite that are swaying and swaying in the sea breeze. Chen Zuyi suddenly realized the height of the other party's ship. It far exceeded his own estimates. I can't help but be a little frightened. It turned out that he took advantage of the night to lead his troops to attack the Ming fleet at night. In order to avoid too much movement. Act rashly and alert the enemy. The strikers are mostly small boats. The other party's tall hull. It is bound to make it difficult for his subordinates to board the ship and fight.
Just when Chen Zuyi was hesitating. On the opposite side of the ship, a Ming army Qianhu said loudly: "The Ming fleet is making your lord. Ordered Chen Zuyi to board the ship to meet him." The voice is arrogant. Arrogance. It can be seen.
Chen Zuyi crisscrossed the sea. The knife edge is bloodthirsty for many years. Don't hesitate to hear the words. Walk up the springboard vigorously. On top of his boat. More than 20 expressions are hideous. A pirate with a sharp mouth hides on a hemp rope behind a sail. Waiting for the leader's order. You're going to swing across the boat with a rope. Capture what the big boss said. The eunuch who will be scared to pee his pants when he sees the sword and sword.
Chen Zuyi led his five henchmen to the deck of Zheng He's flagship. Under the guidance of the Ming army Qianhu, he walked forward.
Under the swaying of torches. Chen Zuyi saw a person wearing armor. Standing tall in the back of the two foreign cases. Two columns of Ming sergeants stood on both sides. Guess that the other party is the fleet is Zheng He. Don't wait for the other person to speak. Immediately ran up two steps and knelt down. He exclaimed: "The villain Chen Zuyi's ancestral home is Guangdong. I heard that the Ming fleet was dominant. Trembled. Not very afraid. Specially come to surrender." Deceit and deference. In his right hand, he secretly grasped the dagger hidden in his arms. As soon as Zheng He approached, he was about to break out. After subduing the opponent, the left and right Ming soldiers were thrown into the mouse. Then he ordered his men to board the ship and attack.
"Chen Zuyi. Your ancestral home is Guangdong. I'm a Middle-earther. But they gather thieves. Rage on the seas. When my Ming fleet returned, you didn't retreat, you didn't even do what you could, you didn't even do your best, you came by deception, and you used such a trick of carving insects that you could see in a dagger, which was ridiculous and pathetic." Zheng He drew a three-foot sword at his waist. While Shi Shiran stood up. shouted.
Chen Zuyi is the leader of tens of thousands of pirates. I have been used to fighting since I was a child. At this time, I saw that the other party saw through his plan. I am outnumbered. There was no panic on his face. Jumped up and roared, "Drop the sails."
With a bang, there was a bang. The sails of Chen Zuyi's ship, which was docked on the side of Zheng He's flagship, fell one after another. One by one, they looked hideous. The pirate with the blade yells. Swinging the rope towards the opposite side. One by one, the pirates on the ambushed ship also waved their hands, and they had already prepared them. Iron hook tied with hemp rope. Thrown towards the side of the Ming flagship. Climb up to this. After boarding the ship, fight to the death with the enemy army.
With the sound of footsteps. One after another, armor-clad Ming sergeants poured out of the front and rear hatches. Running towards the side of the ship.
Zheng He saw a pirate above his head loosen the rope in his hand. Coming at himself for his life. Immediately waved his hand and slashed it away.
Chen Zuyi was about to swing his dagger and pounce on Zheng He. But when he saw that one of his subordinates had not yet landed. With a long scream, he gave the other party a sword and slashed blood. Roll to the deck. There was a hint of fear in my heart like never before. Only from the other side's ferocity and fierceness. It can be seen that the martial arts are strong. It is by no means comparable to the eunuchs like Zhao Gao as he imagined. Before the mind turns. When the dagger in his hand was hard against the opponent's blood-stained sword. His wrist was sore, and his weapon almost flew away. It turned out that Zheng He was already a tiger pounced. Slash down with a three-foot sword.
A group of pirates swinging from the rope immediately fought with the Ming officers and soldiers after falling. Pirates board the ship as if they were on the ground. Outlaw and ferocious. The Ming soldiers relied on the number of soldiers far outnumbered the other side. Superior to the outnumbered. Under the chaotic battle, there were people on both sides who were constantly bleeding and screaming to the ground.
Zheng He flew up with a kick. Kick a stab-wielding pirate off the side of the ship. He shouted, "The pirates are all full of blood. Destroy all the officials." The order is to be killed. There was no pause in his hands. The long swords swung one after another swept straight through the slash. The murderous spirit forced Chen Zuyi to retreat again and again.
