"Heavenly Palace calls the West Sea Dragon Palace, please answer if you receive it!"

Just when the officer of the Xihai Navy was discussing with his old friends what the ironclad ship looked like, a small black box hanging on his shoulder suddenly came out.

This sound startled Zheng He and the others, and the shirtless man stared even more, looking curiously at the small black box on the shoulder of the naval officer.

"What is this? How can it still make a sound? ”

The officer smiled, took the walkie-talkie off his shoulder, and replied: "Xihai Dragon Palace received!" ”

"Hey, how are you talking to the box!"

The shirtless man and the others scratched their heads, their faces full of doubt.

Return to the Heavenly Palace, return to the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Is this still the Ming in their memory?

It's only been a few years since they've been gone, why has Daming changed so much?

"The fleet is about to arrive, please clear the access to the port and leave a place for the ship to berth!"

"Xihai Dragon Palace reported that the passage has been dredged, the docking position of the ship has been reserved, and the pilot ship has departed!"

"All the officers and men of the Xihai Naval Base, warmly welcome Your Highness!"

"Zheng Tou, Your Highness is here, let's go and greet Your Highness!" The naval officer put away the walkie-talkie and invited Zheng He and others to greet Zhu Zhangui together, but he had a thought in his heart that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Zheng He nodded.

He understands that what should be faced still has to be faced, and avoiding the problem will not solve the problem.

Then the group, led by the officer, walked to the dock reserved for the ironclad ship.

"Lao Xu, what the hell are you, how can you still make a sound, and who do you seem to be communicating with?"

On the way to dock the ship, the shirtless man couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked the naval officer again.

Everyone else looked at it too, and it was clear that they were curious too.

"It's called a walkie-talkie!" The naval officer took off the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and handed it to Zheng He, and then explained to everyone: "This is a tool for short-distance communication, which can communicate within hundreds of miles when the weather is not bad or the terrain is complicated. That is, the distance between the two of them is hundreds of miles, you can hear me immediately, and I can receive it immediately! ”

"Hundreds of miles!"

The crowd exclaimed.

The shirtless man rubbed his hands even more excitedly, wanting to reach out and take the walkie-talkie in Zheng He's hand to finish it, but unfortunately Zheng He didn't give it to him, but grabbed the walkie-talkie and fell into contemplation.

Seeing that he really couldn't get it, the man could only withdraw his hand regretfully and looked at the naval officer.

"Where did this thing come from, in the past few years since we left, how can the imperial court change so much, can we come to the gods in the Ming Dynasty?"

The naval officer smiled and did not answer.

The other members of the navy who followed behind the naval officer looked at the shirtless man with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

"What, did I say something wrong? Why do you all have this look! The man scratched his head a little puzzled, not understanding how the navy people looked at him with such eyes.

The shirtless man didn't understand what it meant, but Zheng He, who had been in the high-level for many years, reacted all of a sudden, and scolded the shirtless man angrily: "Bastard, are there some things you should know?" After going to sea for a few years, I even forgot the rules of the imperial court, how can you let His Highness reuse you like this. ”

The shirtless man was stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses.

After a few years of being unrestrained at sea, he gradually forgot the rules of the army.

The first taboo in the army, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and those who disobey inquirers will be punished as spies.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, my brain is a little twitchy for a while."

The man smiled awkwardly, but he didn't dare to ask more about it.

secretly wiped the cold sweat on his head and looked at Zheng He gratefully.

Although he used to be Zhu Zhangui's subordinate, he was not incorporated into the navy, and the old brothers of the navy, although they still talked and laughed with him, were actually faintly a little far away.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and after leaving the past few years, the navy is not sure whether the shirtless man and others are still loyal to Zhu Zhangui

"Is this a lot of walkie-talkies?" Everyone came to the dock, and Zheng He handed the walkie-talkie to the naval officer.

"I don't know!" The naval officer shook his head, "But every warship in the navy is equipped with one, as for the other departments, I don't know, I guess there are some!" ”

Zheng He nodded slightly, and then asked, "It was given by His Royal Highness Taisun." ”

Zheng He didn't say this to inquire about any secrets, but to confirm who it came from, so he could ask for it.

The naval officer shook his head again, "Zheng Tou, I really don't know about this, everything on our side is allocated by the Admiralty, we only use it, and only Li Tou knows where it came from!" ”

Zheng He bowed slightly, and then didn't ask any more.

Although this officer is the person in charge of the Xihai military base, his rank is not high, and he is still sent abroad, and I am afraid that he really does not know many important internal matters.

Moreover, the origin of these things is estimated to be the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng He guessed that Li Hu and other high-level officials may not know where the items came from.

What Da Ming can really understand is estimated to be a few people such as the emperor's grandson and the crown prince.

But it doesn't matter.

He doesn't care where these things come from, he only cares about what kind of effect these things can bring him.

After understanding the role of the walkie-talkie, Zheng He's first thought in his heart was that this thing was born for navigation.

The army can also rely on the messenger to send a message, and the navy can convey an order, if it is a sunny day, the vision is good. But if it is foggy and rainy weather, it will be a nightmare for the navy.

You can still see the flag on a sunny day, and you can still rely on a torch at night, but in rainy and cloudy weather, there is really no way.

In bad weather, various orders can only be conveyed according to the sound of horns, drums, gongs, and then let the officers judge for themselves based on their own experience.

But with walkie-talkies, it's different.

With the walkie-talkie, any command can be quickly conveyed, and it is more convenient to command operations.

Looking at the endless sea, Zheng He made another decision in his heart.

He wanted not only steam ironclads, but also walkie-talkies, new muskets, and artillery.

As for whether Zhu Zhangui will give it to him, Zheng He can be 100% sure that Zhu Zhangui will give it.

Because the two of them have exactly the same attachment to the sea.

Zhu Zhangui's wish is to occupy the whole world and become the king of this world.

And Zheng He's goal is to travel to any corner of the world and see different customs and customs.

His role as Zhu Zhangui is that he is a pioneer spy, who plans to conquer the world in the future of the Ming Dynasty, exploring every location, power, and national situation.

"Woooooo

A moment later, a strange sound came from the sea level in the distance.

When the people waiting by the dock heard the sound, they saw a billowing black smoke rising from the sea, blowing obliquely towards the sky under the blowing of the sea breeze.

There were a few small black dots faintly under the black smoke, but they were obscured by the black smoke, and it was impossible to see whether it was a boat or a bird.

The shirtless man took out a monocular and opened it and handed it to Zheng He, who was looking up next to him.

Zheng He was just about to pick it up, and the naval officer on the side handed over the binoculars with a smile.

"New gadget again?"

The shirtless man looked at the binoculars full of mystery, and then looked down at the simple monoculars in his hand, and instantly felt that it was not fragrant.

Taking over the binoculars, Zheng He looked at the sea under the guidance of a naval officer.

The first thing that caught his eye was the most conspicuous large chimney, and then a battleship that exuded the smell of steel poured into his eyes.

"Good ship!"

Looking at the ironclad battleship emitting a cold light in the sun, Zheng He's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admire.

"It's a good ship, but it's a little smaller!"

Although the shirtless man used a monocular, the viewing distance was not as far as the double-barrel telescope in Zheng He's hand, but he could also vaguely see the appearance of the ironclad ship.

"This is just an experimental battleship, its main function is to train craftsmen, and even if it is commissioned in the future, it will only patrol the coastal forces."

The naval officer on the side also held a monocular, looking at the ironclad warship on the sea.

He was also deeply attracted by the steel that exuded light, but when he thought that this battleship was only practiced, and there was no possibility of entering the main navy to serve, he suddenly felt a little lost in his heart.

The black dots in the distance are getting closer and closer, and soon they are at a distance where you don't need a telescope to see clearly.

Everyone retracted their binoculars and stood quietly on the dock, waiting for the arrival of the first ironclad ship of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, it seems that the number of ships is wrong!"

On a frigate, the observer saw the situation at the dock and found that the number of battleships did not match the report, and his heart instantly became vigilant, and he hurriedly reported it to Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui, who was discussing the ironclad improvement plan with the person in charge, frowned when he heard this, stepped forward to take the binoculars, and looked at the Xihai Naval Base.

The main fleet of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been split, and the warships left behind in each naval base have only one small detachment of 5 warships.

Now on the side of the Xihai base, the number has suddenly increased by dozens of ships, and there are still some of them, at first glance, they are not the warships of the Ming Dynasty, and it is obvious that something is wrong with the naval base.

"Send a small boat to check it out, and the others are ready for battle!"

Without asking what the reason for the Xihai Naval Base was, Zhu Zhangui directly ordered preparations for operation.

As a soldier, you must always be vigilant, even if it is on your own turf, and always be ready to fight.

"Hey, why did they stop, the gun bay was opened, did they find some enemy?"

The people waiting on the dock, seeing the battleship approaching, suddenly faced the dock sideways, and the hatch of the cannon also opened, and one by one the cannon was pushed out, and their minds were instantly full of doubts.

"You bastard, didn't report the news of our return to Your Highness!"

Zheng He was also puzzled for a moment, and then kicked the naval officer's buttocks.

The naval officer, who had been kicked, reacted at once, raised his hand and slapped himself.

"I'm so happy to see you, I forgot about this stubble, mother, I'm going to be beaten by the board!"

Soon, Zhu Zhangui received a report from the Xihai base, and at the same time, Zheng He was also on the walkie-talkie, saying a word to Zhu Zhangui.

"Your Highness, the minister is back!"

Zheng He's words were very difficult, at the moment he opened his mouth, he kept living the pictures of the past few years in his mind, and when the last word fell, his eyes were slightly red.

Zhu Zhangui, who was still at sea on the other side, didn't hear any Zheng He's emotions, but smiled and scolded Zheng He happily.

"Okay, your surname is Zheng, you have been out for so many years, I thought you took my people and became emperors overseas. Also, if you don't satisfy me with what you bring back, we're not done! ”

A frigate was the first to dock, and after the sailors came down from above, Zhu Zhangui's boat came to the dock.

As soon as he got off the boat, Zhu Zhangui ran to Zheng He laughing and hugged him in his arms.

Just as he was about to scold this bastard, Zhu Zhangui suddenly felt something strange in the contact between his hands.

Zhu Zhangui was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the arm that came from the strange.

One sleeve fluttered in the wind, and it was empty, without the strong arm in memory.

"Where's the hand?"

Grabbing the empty sleeves, Zhu Zhangui looked at Zheng He, whose eyes were slightly red.

"Hacked!"

Zheng He replied with a tearful smile in his eyes.

"Who is it, where is the force!"

"In the westernmost country, a country called the Grape Country!"

"Okay, I know, I'll kill him when I get a chance."

Zheng He nodded, "I want to go by myself, most of my brothers died there, I want to bring them back, I want to avenge them!" ”

Zhu Zhangui looked up at Zheng He, and Zheng He also looked at him firmly.

"Good!" Zhu Zhangui nodded in response.

"But it's going to take a few years, the imperial court is currently using troops in various places, and the troops can't be drawn out for the time being, and the next batch of warships on the navy's side will not be delivered until at least the end of next year!"

"As long as I can avenge those brothers before I die, I am willing to wait as long as I want!"

Zheng He knew that going overseas was not a simple matter, and before coming back, he was ready to wait for a few years, or even more than ten years.

But then he pointed to the ironclad ship that entered the dock and said to Zhu Zhangui: "I want the ironclad ship, it should be bigger than this!" ”

Zhu Zhangui also looked back at the ironclad ship and said in a deep voice.

"It will take at least 8 years, and the first batch will be equipped on the navy first."

is still the same sentence, you can't eat a fat person in one bite, but you may be strangled to death.

Zhu Zhangui planned to take the area around Daming before the old man left, and as for the farther overseas campaign, it would take at least ten years of cultivation to launch.

His promise to Zheng He was only to send him warships and men, so that Zheng He would beat up those Western veterans first, and inform those Western veterans that my Ming Dynasty was coming.

As for the plan to conquer the world, Zhu Zhangui felt that it might not be realized until he died.

All he is doing now is to pave the way for his sons and grandsons, so that his sons and grandsons will have the capital to rule the world.

After all, the earth is too small, and there are too many national forces, so it is easy to cause chaos and friction.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty suffered a little bit and took the entire earth into management, so that all human beings could work together to fly out of the solar system and enter the galaxy before the 21st century.

Of course, this is just Zhu Zhangui's fantasy, what will the future become, the Ming Dynasty is to rule the entire earth, with the help of global power to develop rapidly.

Or mismanaged, falling into civil strife and falling apart, that was not something he could have predicted.

Whether it is good or bad, it all depends on the efforts of the descendants of the future, and he just lies in the soil.

…………………

As a navigator and a eunuch, there is nothing in this world that attracts Zheng He more than the ship.

After all, he was a eunuch, and he didn't need a woman or anything. There is no greed for money, unless the money is shipbuilding, otherwise the money is placed in front of Zheng He, and he will not take a second look.

The two chatted briefly, and Zheng He and the others hurriedly boarded the ironclad ship.

"Tut-tut, this deck, ordinary shells can't penetrate it!"

"It's hard to say, but the shotgun can withstand it, and it may be a little difficult to block the solid iron ball egg!"

"Although the iron armor is good, it will rust if it is soaked in the sea every day."

"Then it depends on the logistics, we are just driving the boat, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Hahaha, head to head, turn back to those who are engaged in logistics, I guess I'm going to scold my mother angrily."

The group boarded the ironclad ship, and Zheng He's subordinates and the officers and men of the Xihai Naval Base were like Xiangba Lao, lying on the splint and beating and beating.

At the same time, his mouth is not idle, and he keeps asking his own questions.

Zheng He patted the deck of the ship and nodded again and again with satisfaction.

Then he and Zhu Zhangui walked into the boiler room, and as soon as they entered it, the two of them retreated reluctantly.

Good guys, it's so hot inside.

In the cold winter weather, the craftsmen and sailors inside were shirtless and swaying around in big pants.

"This heat, summer is enough to choke!"

Standing at the doorway and getting used to the temperature, the two walked in.

Looking at the craftsmen and sailors who were busy in the boiler room, Zheng He couldn't help but think about what kind of scene it would be in the summer.

"No way, I didn't have much experience in building this kind of ship for the first time, and the next ship will improve this aspect and try not to die of heat in the summer."

After staying in the boiler room for a while, Zhu Zhangui sweated profusely.

This aspect must be improved, and if the sailors are really hot, it will be a joke.

"My God, is this the power of the Great Ming, they actually built a steel battleship!"

On the open ground of the dock, a group of black and white prisoners in thin clothes were watched by the soldiers and knelt on the ground, looking at the ironclad battleships in the distant harbor, and opened their mouths in surprise.

The beard had been almost pulled away, and the bearded white man with a blue nose and swollen face had round eyes that he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

At the time of his departure, the king also fantasized about waging war against the country of Daming.

But in retrospect, it was a joke.

With such a powerful warship, the Ming Dynasty, even if the Grape Country develops for 100 years, may not be qualified to challenge the other party.

"Your Excellency, what do you say they will do with us?"

Fortunately, the young naval officer did not die, and he was kneeling beside the bearded white man, staring at the battleship at sea in amazement, and worried about their future situation.

The bearded white man shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, "I don't know, they don't kill us now, maybe they want to get our country's strength from us." If they ask clearly, I think being thrown into the sea to feed the sharks is probably the best thing for us. ”

The young naval officer opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head with a wry smile.

Captured they had no choice, either to cooperate with the Ming people to ask for a happy death, or to be tortured to death by the other party.

Think about how they used to treat their captives, didn't they do the same?

They killed so many Ming people, and so many rescued captives, suffered from them.

In their minds, Da Ming shouldn't let them go easily.

It's a pity that they don't know that there is a guy who hates them white-skinned dogs to the bone.

The ordeal they will endure in the future is more terrible than they imagined.

While the captives on the shore were worried about the future, Zhu Zhangui and Zheng He stepped off the ironclad side by side.

"I took a group of prisoners, and I thought that Your Highness should be useful, so I left a group of officers, including their commanders."

After getting off the boat, Zheng He took Zhu Zhangui to the captive.

"Actually, it's useless, after all, we don't understand each other's words, and if we want to communicate, we need to learn their words, or let them learn our words."

"As for what the situation is in their country, I don't really care about that."

"According to what you say, I already have a rough number of the strength of their country in my heart, and I want to resist them with their strength, and I will equip you with strong ships and cannons in the future, unless you are stupid, or their god himself comes!"

Regarding the issue of prisoners, Zhu Zhangui did not care.

As he told Zheng He, in the case of absolute power, any conspiracy is a chicken.

And with his understanding of history, the current national strength of the Grape People seems to be only average, that is, the navy is a little stronger.

After Zheng He's narration just now, the naval strength of the Grape People has been almost half consumed.

has lost most of its naval strength, and it is a grape country in the era of cold weapons, Zhu Zhangui really didn't pay attention to it at all.

Even to be precise, he did not pay attention to the entire Western world now.

In his mind, the threat power of those Westerners is not as strong as that of Arutai.

Now the military strength of the Ming Dynasty can be said to stand at the peak of the whole world.

Unless people from all countries in the West unite together, one or two countries will not be enough to make a move.

"It's good, it's all for Lao Tzu!"

The soldiers guarding the captives saw Zhu Zhangui and Zheng He coming over, and hurriedly raised their rifles and smashed the white-skinned dogs and who were looking up at Zhu Zhangui and Zheng He to the ground.

Without stopping the soldiers' actions, Zhu Zhangui stood in front of the captive.

Looking at the white-skinned dogs who were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind them, their heads firmly on the ground, and they didn't dare to move, Zhu Zhangui sneered in his heart.

This is the ancestor of those Westerners who are arrogant, look down on the yellow race, and sing freely, but in fact, they are the eldest and the second in the world.

Those little fairies who dreamed of marrying these white-skinned dogs, if they knew the ancestor of the white-skinned dogs they loved, were kneeling at the feet of the Yanhuang people and trembling at this time. I don't know if I will shout insulting words and rush up to punch Zhu Zhangui.

Hmph, a group of sluts who exude the smell of burning from their bones really defile the sacred Yanhuang bloodline.

Zhu Zhangui originally wanted to throw all these white-skinned dogs and into the sea to feed the sharks.

But thinking that there seemed to be a language genius under his command, he changed his mind of killing them all.

Although the imperial court has no plans to go to the West for the time being, it is useful to know in advance.

As for the language genius that Zhu Zhangui thought, it was Sanbao's elder brother, the eldest brother who studied in Guozijian.

His eldest brother, who eats his own and lives on his own every day, doesn't need money to go to school, and doesn't let him do some work, Zhu Zhangui always feels that he is a little at a loss.

Brother-in-law: My two younger sisters have given you warm quilts, what more do you want?

"Li Ze!"

Zhu Zhangui turned around and shouted at the ironclad.

An officer wearing a naval officer's uniform, who was lying on the deck, bragging with a group of people, stood up reluctantly, shouted yes, and then quickly trotted off the boat and came to Zhu Zhangui's side.

"Press all these white dog back to Jinling for me, and hand them over to my eldest brother who is studying in Guozijian."

"You tell him that I will give him two months, and these guys will have to ask me how many times they wet the bed after they are young, and I will ask Jinyiwei to cooperate with him."

"Yes!"

Li Ze raised his hand and saluted, and waved his hand to let the soldiers press the gang of white dogs and on the boat.

"Wait a minute!"

Looking at the captives who were driven to the ship by the soldiers, Zhu Zhangui touched his chin and commanded Li Ze, who turned around and stood upright.

"When I arrived at the gate of Jingshi, I stripped them of their clothes, put on sheepskins, and led them into the city!"

"Yes!"

Li Ze didn't even think about it, and responded without hesitation.

Although he was an officer, he used to be illiterate, and now he can read and hyphenate words later. He didn't know anything about history at all, and he didn't know what it meant to strip off his clothes and put on sheepskin, thinking that it was just a means of torturing people.

The big-headed soldiers didn't know that Zheng He was a literate person.

When he heard this, he knew that Zhu Zhangui was planning to use the golden man's sheep ceremony.

After the Jingkang Incident, all the royal family of the Song Dynasty were captured by the Jin, in order to humiliate the emperor and magnates of the Song Dynasty and break the resistance of the Song people.

From the emperor to the queen, the princess, the princess and the prince, when they were tortured by the Jin people every day, they were also stripped naked in humiliation, put on sheepskins, and dragged around the street like cattle for others to watch.

Even many queens and princesses, when they were paraded in sheep's clothing, would be humiliated in public by the Jin soldiers and the common people.

People who know a little bit about history will grit their teeth with hatred when they mention this ceremony.

This is the biggest humiliation for the sons of the Han family, and this is also the pain in the hearts of all the men of the Han family.

How many people in later generations gritted their teeth when they read this history. hated the incompetence and weakness of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, hated that he could not give birth to that era, and fought to the death with the enemy with a horse and a sword.

But history has passed after all, and no matter how much you hate and annoy, there is no possibility of change.

Zhu Zhangui did not travel to the Great Song Dynasty, nor did he have a chance to change the disaster, but he could double the humiliation of the Han people by the Western white-skinned dogs in later generations.

He remembered that there was a diplomat in the Qing Dynasty who was mercilessly abused abroad, and his pigtails were led through the streets like cattle.

Although those people are not grape people, it doesn't matter to Zhu Zhangui, they are all white-skinned dogs anyway.

And these grape white dogs are not a good breed, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty in history, but forcibly occupied the Ming Dynasty Macau.

Officially, there are only records of being occupied, but who knows how much humiliation and suffering the Ming people in those occupied areas suffered when they were ruled by these robbers.

So for these white-skinned dogs, Zhu Zhangui never had any good feelings.

In his mind, only the dead and slaved white-skinned dogs are good white-skinned dogs.

"Your Highness, is it a little inappropriate to do this!"

Zheng He hesitated, but still persuaded him.

He was not sympathetic to these white-skinned dogs and, but worried that Zhu Zhangui would be attacked by the imperial historian and those great Confucians, affecting his status in the emperor's mind.

Zhu Zhangui turned his head to look at Zheng He, staring at Qi for a long time before he said.

"I just want them to see, let them reminisce and recall, how the Song Dynasty, which ruled the world with scholars, was humiliated by the enemy!"

"There are some things that don't remind them, these people who have eaten a full meal for two days and read the sage book for two days are a little dishonest!"

With the graduation of a group of new county students, and then arranged by the Wenqu Academy to intern in various departments, after being known by those great Confucians.

There were some strange words among Shilin, and some big Confucians even said some things in private that made Zhu Zhangui unhappy, and even joined forces to make some small moves.

That is to say, the imperial court is fighting everywhere, and it needs domestic stability, otherwise Zhu Zhangui will definitely come to a wave of literary prisons, so that these literati, who claim to be the representatives of the world, can understand what is the power of power, and understand what it is, no matter how hard their mouths are, they can't carry the steel knife.

Zhu Zhangui couldn't figure out why these people were so cheap, they always healed their scars and forgot about the pain, just like they didn't remember. The talent of the old Kong family died for a few days, how could he forget the methods of his imperial grandson so quickly.

Since these guys can't remember, Zhu Zhangui, who is the grandson of Emperor Daming, feels that he has a duty to remind these guys of some painful lessons and memories.

ps: Recently, some people have always reported the problem of the title of the book, and they think it is too white.

I can see that there are all old brothers here, so I am here to ask you for new names. If you are interested, you can name it in your mind.

Reward: A photo of yourself. (?>?<?）
