Chapter 420: The Son of the World Gets Thin
Chen Zuyi searched for a long time before he found a place where he could land, and this currently the most powerful sailor in the world finally set foot on the territory of Tai O.
Zheng He's third trip to the West in history has been to Guli, which is only about a thousand miles away from Tai O, and can be reached in a few days if there is a tailwind.
It's a pity that he didn't continue to the southeast, of course, based on the situation at that time, Zheng He would only leave a record at most even if he arrived in Tai O, and it was impossible for so many people to come over like Zhu Gaoxu.
As a large number of ships docked one after another, many of the people on board stepped on the land of Tai O, and many of them were very novel.
Zhu Di disembarked in the front and back hugs, Jin Zhong, Xue Lu, Liu Rong, Tan Qing, Tan Zhong, Xu Li, Tang Rong, Zhang Wu and other generals are still there, but there are also a lot fewer generals, because in the more than eight months at sea, many people died, Fang Kuan, Fang Sheng, and Huo Zhen were all unlucky, and they died of illness one after another, and they did not survive to Tai O.
A number of fellow travelers also died, Wang Jinghong, the former eunuch of the Yan Palace, also died of illness, and one of Zhu Di's concubines died.
A group of people who were alive gathered around Zhu Di, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the eunuch Yuan Zhong were lonely on the other side, Zhu Gaochi's expression was lonely, as if he had no desire or desire.
Even if he arrived in Tai O now, Zhu Gaochi subconsciously thought that Gao Xu would send someone to kill them all here.
The so-called exile overseas is just to hide people's eyes and ears, to show the civil officials, and to prove the emperor's benevolence.
"The prince doesn't go to the king's side?" Eunuch Yuan Zhong asked in a low voice.
Zhu Gaochi quietly looked at the endless sea ships in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yuan Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that he found that Shizi's skin was now a little dark, and his figure had lost a lot of weight.
In the past, Shizi had to find a place to sit and breathe without walking a few steps, and he would always stand in place without taking a breath.
"I noticed that I seemed to have lost weight." Shizi replied.
Yuan Zhong hurriedly nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince has lost a lot of weight." β
"Don't you have to thank Gao Xu?" The son of the world seemed to be smiling.
Yuan Zhong didn't dare to answer, and when he lowered his head, he found that his arm was also a little black.
It's August, it's actually quite hot outside, not to mention they're still at the beach.
At this time, Zhu Di was looking for a shady place, but there were sergeants stationed around, and they were not allowed to run far.
The eunuch Hou Xian picked up a huge piece of dead bark out of nowhere, and raised his hands high to shade Zhu Di.
"They have all become prisoners, and my father is still so flamboyant." Zhu Gaochi watched from afar and muttered.
He was really afraid of Gao Xu, so he suddenly turned his face, and then pulled out his knife and slashed.
After thinking about it, Yuan Zhong said stubbornly: "Your Majesty is thinking about family affection after all, if you want to do it, you won't wait here." β
Yuan Zhong has followed his son since he was a child, and of course he knows that Zhu Gaoxu was born to King Yan, but now of course he doesn't dare to say it publicly.
"It's not a good thing not to do it." Zhu Gaochi sighed: "I'm afraid it's harder than death." β
βγγβ Yuan Zhong.
Only the prince seemed to be in a bad mood, and Yuan Zhong looked into the distance for a moment: "The princess is also here." β
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly turned around and saw the Zhang family coming here from a distance, surrounded by several eunuchs and palace maids.
He couldn't help but muttered again, they are all prisoners, you are all still so pompous, don't you make Gao Xu's people laugh?
But he still walked towards Zhang.
Zhang was followed by three children, two of whom were still being held by the palace maids, the eldest of whom was almost ten years old, who was the father of the god of war, and Zhu Zhanji, who gave up slaves and Jiaozhi.
Zhu Zhanji gave up slave gan and Jiaozhi, and gave birth to a son of the god of war, these three major feats are enough to shock China through the ages.
Now the young Zhu Zhanji is not the last imperial grandson, he seems to be a little scared, following closely behind the concubine, but looking around with novelty.
The two husbands and wives met under a tree, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but hold Zhang's hand.
Zhang's expression was very natural, and he said calmly: "Why doesn't the prince go to his father's place?" β
"My father has so many henchmen, and I am not one of them." Zhu Gaochi said angrily.
Zhu Di expressed regret at the last moment that he did not appoint Gao Xu as the crown prince, and Zhu Gaochi felt endless humiliation and anger.
You can't beat your son yourself, so you regret it? Did I do something missing?
Zhang sighed: "Now that we are overseas, we should work together to tide over the difficulties." β
Zhu Gaochi just wanted to speak, but Zhu Zhanran on the side suddenly said: "Father, mother, Zhanji is hungry and wants to eat mung bean cake?" β
Zhu Gaochi turned his head and was furious: "Where did the mung bean cake come from here?" β
Zhu Zhanji's whole body trembled at his father's yellation, and he quickly shrank behind his mother, his face turned white.
Not far away, there was a little child, who was being held by the hand, probably only three or four years old, looking at them with a nervous expression.
Zhu Gaochi saw it and found that it was Zhang Wu's son, Zhu Zhanqi.
Zhang Wu was not sent overseas, and it is said that the emperor saw the face of Zhang Fu and her sister Zhang Yan.
Zhu Gaochi still remembers that when Zhang Wu heard that he could stay and his son needed to be sent away last year, Zhang Wu almost did not hesitate and happily agreed.
Now Zhu Zhanjun has no biological mother, only a palace maid with him, which is very pitiful.
Zhang Wu was originally going to marry Zhu Gaochu, but later applied automatically to marry Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi also knew about it.
Why did she want to stay? Don't?
The corners of Zhu Gaochi's mouth suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help but think that a woman like Zhang Wu was probably already leaning over Zhu Gaoxu's knees now.
"Eat, eat, eat, know how to eat all day long?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly became angry, stepped behind Zhang's step, and in Xiao Zhanji's frightened eyes, a slap was slapped on Zhu Zhanji's face.
"Wow" Zhu Zhanji suddenly burst into tears.
Zhu Di, who was not far away, didn't care about the affairs here and the prince Zhu Gaochi.
For the past few months on the ship, he'd been wondering what Gao Xu wanted him to do.
Now in Tai O, he vaguely knew that he had been sent overseas.
But where and why it was distributed here, he wanted to know.
Because after arriving here, he knew that in addition to him and his henchmen, the three guards of Yanshan back then, and the pro-army of the Son of Heaven in Beijing, many people also came.
"Hurry, hurry, hurryβ" I saw a group of sergeants being called off the boat with their bare hands on a boat that had just docked at the foot of the hill in front of them.
Many people look familiar with Zhu Di, and at a glance, they know that it is Jing Nan's old brother who follows him.
Suddenly, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Tan Qing: "Are these our old brothers who are in trouble?" β
Tan Qing nodded: "It seems to be--" After saying that, he suppressed his voice, looked around, and whispered: "King Han seems to have sent a lot of brothers and family members over." β
Before Tan Qing's words fell, he saw that many family members came down from another boat next door.
The family members and the soldiers were separated, and some family members saw the sergeants on the other boat from a distance, waving and screaming, and the scene suddenly became noisy, and many people ran to their families.
The officers and soldiers who escorted them did not care, and let them recognize their relatives.
Some people recognized it and shouted excitedly, but some people didn't find it, and they went to ask the officers and soldiers, why is my family not there?
During this period, a few sergeants were more excited, and suddenly quarreled at the scene as they spoke.
"Kill," the crowd on the opposite side shouted, and rushed up to a team of sergeants in armor and sharp, and the scene suddenly screamed, and several people were cut down.
The crowd screamed, and everyone fled to the shore.
The noisy scene suddenly fell silent.
Damn, the dog thing is really ruthless, Xue Lu gritted his teeth and looked at the officers and soldiers who were doing it.
Liu Rong gathered around Zhu Di at this time, looked left and right, they were all his own people, and said: "There seem to be a lot of brothers, can you summon them?" β
Zhu Di glanced at him noncommittally and did not speak.
In the distance, there were still large ships that had not yet been launched, and a large number of people and equipment had come ashore, and in the distance, they could no longer see clearly, but they could still vaguely see many people and things being transported ashore.
Should Gao Xu want to do big things? But what's the use of spending so much manpower and material resources here? Zhu Di didn't understand it very much, in his opinion, the wasteland in front of him was not as good as the grassland, if he was given 40,000 soldiers and horses, he would rather go to the grassland.
Zhu Di couldn't figure it out, and the generals around him couldn't figure it out, so everyone got together and chatted about it.
About two hours later, the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and many people found shelter under the trees.
Some people are already crying out because they haven't eaten yet.
At this moment, someone in the distance was calling for the king.
Then Xu Li's son Xu Zhen ran over quickly: "The king, the king, the ship of the imperial court is gone, they threw down a lot of things, and then left, gone." β
"What?" Zhu Di was dumbfounded.
"Lady doesn't care about us, right?" Xue Lu immediately scolded.
The generals around shouted one after another, and then everyone hurried to the shore.
I saw that many sergeants were gathering on the shore, watching the boat on the shore slowly leave.
I don't know who in the crowd suddenly knelt down in the direction of the boat, and then wept bitterly, and then more sergeants cried, and many subconsciously thought that they might never be able to return to their hometowns.
Zhu Di watched all the ships slowly move away, only to find that all the officers and soldiers around him had left except for them.
Are we exiled to this island? He also thought it was just an island at this time?
Gao Xu is so vicious? How can we survive with nearly 20,000 people?
Zhu Di looked at the crowd around him who were dark and oppressive, crying and shouting, and his heart was also troubled.
But soon, news came to Zhu Di everywhere.
"King, there are a lot of weapons in front of you, and you also have tools--"
"King, on the northwest shore, there are tens of thousands of stone of grain unloadedβ"
"King, on the shore behind us, there are some grain seeds and herbal farming toolsβ"
The generals around Zhu Di explored around one after another, and all the news was gathered in front of Zhu Di before dark.
The officers and soldiers left, but they left behind about 10,000 stones, grain, rice, 2,000 weapons, 5,000 farming tools, 3,000 logging, digging, and construction tools, and a number of seeds for various crops.
There are also a bunch of books and hundreds of herbs, among which the books are basically life, medicine and agriculture, and none of them are Confucian classics.
"Special mother, are we left to fend for ourselves here?" Zhang Wu scolded.
The generals looked at each other.
Zhu Gaochi listened, his expression seemed to cry, I knew that in the future, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than death.
