In Zhu Zhanyan's view, in this era, love cannot be said to be non-existent, but for most people, it is pure nonsense.

As the so-called parents' fate matchmaker said, it is the norm for men and women in this era to get married very early, and those who have children abound.

Besides, almost all people in this era do not have the right to decide their own marriage, basically their parents are in charge, can there be love in such a marriage?

It's still the rich and the powerful, and the bottom has no choice, thank God if you can marry a daughter-in-law, and ask for a fart love?

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan has always thought that his mentality is very correct, not to mention him, just to say that people in this era have little fate with love, and they all love after marriage.

People in this era, from top to bottom, have been objectified, and they are all the embodiment of interests, and there is nothing to be entangled.

Therefore, in Zhu Zhanyan's view, both men and women in this era are bags of flesh and blood carrying DNA, and after completing the task of continuing DNA, only the existence of desire remains.

The future that Zhu Zhanyan planned for himself was to marry a woman who was not particularly beautiful but not particularly ugly, let her give birth to a son for herself, and then find a few more women with white and slender legs to be happy.

As for the women who came to him with an element of interest in themselves...... Just put it aside, whatever you want.

Oh yes, for this kind of behavior, there is a specific adjective in the afterlife: scumbag.

But this can't be helped, every move of a person like Zhu Zhanyan himself represents interests in the eyes of others, if you want the results of your efforts to continue, then there can't be too many emotional places.

On this issue, the old man also sent someone to express his opinion.

Not long after the edict arrived in Yunnan, Mu Xin's wife, Princess Changning, the fifth daughter of the old man and Zhu Zhanyi's aunt, also came to visit, just for the affairs of the three Korean tribute girls......

Well, it's not all, there is another thing, this matter can be seen from the person brought by Princess Changning.

Inner palace eunuch, director of the Municipal Shipping Division, commander of the ocean treasure fleet: Zheng He.

"How does it feel? This Yunnan. Standing on the edge of Dianchi Lake, Zhu Zhanyan said to Zheng He behind him.

To be honest, he actually didn't expect to meet Zheng He, a historical celebrity, like this one day, which was not in line with his expectations.

"In the years of absence, the Mu family has managed this place very well." Zheng He sighed with emotion.

It's no wonder that he was captured during Lan Yu and Fu Youde's expedition to Yunnan, which is his hometown.

"In the future, it will be better here." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and gave a clear, but in fact ambiguous answer.

"Anyway, why did Commander Zheng come alone, and what about your deputy Wang Jinghong? And what about the fleet? ”

"Hui Shizi, His Royal Highness." Zheng He entered the state in a second, and immediately changed from idle talk to reporting on business.

"This trip is on the order of Your Majesty, to confirm whether His Royal Highness the Prince is ready, the army led by His Royal Highness King Zhao has returned to the Great Wall, and the household department is also ready."

"Everything is just waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to give an order, and the treasure fleet will depart from Liujiagang in Taicang and arrive at Jiaozhi!"

"Hmm......" Zhu Zhanyan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Zheng He to enter the state so quickly, but he quickly reacted, pinching his chin and pondering.

"To ask an irrelevant question, when will Commander Zheng go to sea again?"

Zhu Zhanyan's question is somewhat overstepping, but it is not counted, because this is what he must know.

There is a fleet in Yunnan, which was built to deal with Chen Jikuo before, but if it is going to the Wa Kingdom, then the fleet in Yunnan is not enough, because they have no experience in the ocean.

The distance from Jiaozhi to the Wa Kingdom was not short, and he needed an experienced person like Zheng He to be the leader of the fleet.

Of course, it's just the fleet, and Zhu Zhanyan won't let it go to Zheng He after the landing.

"Back to His Royal Highness, if there is no accident, two months later." Zheng He was advised by Zhu Di before he came to Yunnan, so he replied without concealment.

"There were too many foreign envoys brought back from the ocean last time, and they didn't have the ability to return on their own, so we have to shoulder this responsibility and send them back the same way."

"At the same time, this time COSCO will continue to expand further routes as much as possible to promote the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty, which is the original intention of His Majesty to let Zheng He go to the ocean."

"Well, that's good." Zhu Zhanyan nodded when he heard this, and did not express any opinion on the matter of going to the ocean.

"Then I have a question, if I want to fulfill the agreement with the imperial grandfather, who should I go to?"

"Commander Zheng sent the ocean, others don't have such experience, although Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, has the experience of leading a fleet to pursue the Japanese and won a big victory, but Commander Zheng should know that this is not a thing."

"If there is no accident, I will start from Jiaozhi, and it is not a short distance from Jiaozhi to the Wa Kingdom, and Marquis An Yuan is afraid that he will not be able to afford this heavy task."

"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't need to worry, His Royal Highness said that Wang Jinghong, the deputy of the lower official, will be in charge of this matter."

"Wang Jinghong has been Xiaguan's deputy before, although he has not actually controlled the matter of the ocean, but Xiaguan has always trained him as a successor."

"To put it mildly, it's just from Cochin to the Wa Kingdom, and according to Your Majesty's intentions, if Your Highness wants to go on an expedition, it's better to go to Korea first."

"After all, once the prince goes on the expedition, North Korea will become an important way to replenish supplies."

"Since there is an arrangement, there is no problem." Zhu Zhanyan laughed, he was very satisfied with Wang Jinghong.

Later generations only know that Zheng He went to the West, but few people know that Zheng He's deputy Wang Jinghong was also an excellent navigator, and when Zheng He died of illness on his seventh voyage to the West, it was Wang Jinghong who took over the burden and commanded the team to return safely.

In Zhu Zhan's opinion, Wang Jinghong's ability is not inferior to Zheng He, but he was born at the wrong time, he has always been in the shadow of Zheng He, and he has not been reused.

finally waited for Zheng He to die of illness, and Daming stopped the voyage again.

"Commander Zheng, you can go back and tell the emperor's grandfather, just say that I will leave in March next year, and I am expected to arrive in North Korea at the end of April."

"Commander Zheng also knows that this time I want to use all the soldiers from Yunnan, they live here all the year round and are accustomed to the climate here, if they go out of season, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers."

When Zhu Zhanyan came back from the capital, it was already March, and later he set a second fire in Jiaozhi, and the fire burned for two whole months before almost burning Chen Jikuo's Dayue Kingdom and forcing him out.

Later, the escort of Chen Ji to Beijing and the handling of the southward migration of the people were delayed for a while, and now it is about to be July.

At this time, it was winter when there was a substantial battle, and Zhu Zhanyan was afraid that these soldiers in Yunnan would not be used to it, which would lead to a great reduction in combat effectiveness.

In addition, although there is no direct battle in Jiaozhi, the soldiers also need to rest, don't think that the soldiers are not tired without direct frontal combat.

The atmosphere on the battlefield was heavy, which was a great pressure on the soldiers and one of the causes of the so-called post-war syndrome.

"Your Highness is well prepared, but Your Highness still has a question to ask." After listening to Zhu Zhanyan's plan, Zheng He bowed his head slightly, and asked a question with a little hesitation.

"I wonder what His Highness thinks about the problem of the Japanese Invaders?"

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with a little unclear meaning.

"Is this a question of Commander Zheng, or is it ......?"

"That's what Your Highness the Prince thinks." Zheng He bowed his head slightly.

"That's it......" The unintentional smile on Zhu Zhanyan's face was even greater.

"Then you go back and say it directly, I once said that the most efficient way to solve the problem is to solve the person who created the problem, I don't know if Commander Zheng heard of how I solved the problem of Jiaozhi when he came?"

"I've heard a little."

"Then does Commander Zheng think the method is effective?"

"This ......," Zheng He didn't know how to answer for a while.

Is it efficient? This is an undoubted problem, the imperial court has not been able to solve the problem for five or six years, and it has only been a year before and after it has reached Zhu Zhanyan's hands, and the problem has almost been solved.

Isn't this efficient, is why?

But the question is, can this be said?

"In any case, just be efficient." Zhu Zhanyan didn't wait for Zheng He's answer, and said with a smile.

"I know that Commander Zheng is just an errand runner, and the two of us have never had any entanglements, so I won't embarrass you, just tell the truth."

"Besides, for a rotten place that robs my Daming Sea Frontier almost every year, this is the best way to deal with it."

"Commander Zheng should have known about the previous invasion of the Ming Sea Frontier by the Japanese invaders, and as for whether the composition of those Japanese pirates was all homeless pirates as the Japanese said, Commander Zheng should also know in his heart."

"I don't know anything else, I only know that Hou Liusheng of Anyuan led the fleet to pursue the sea area of Qingzhou and broke the Japanese invaders, and then I executed the Japanese in Taizhou Mansion, which made the Japanese settle down a little."

"But after only two years, or one and a half years before and after, these wouldn't be able to settle down, and once again made waves in my Daming Sea Frontier."

"In addition, their so-called worship of our Ming Dynasty is just for profit, and every year they take some tatters in exchange for my Daming's reward, not to mention, they are getting worse and worse every year."

"For such a subordinate state, I think my approach is the most appropriate, at the very least, I have proved with practical actions that I can make them settle down."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan turned around and faced Zheng He, and the mocking smile on his face was not concealed at all.

"If there are people in the government and the opposition who are dissatisfied, then Commander Zheng might as well tell them, if they can solve the problem of the plague, then ask them to stand up and give a specific method and regulations, if not, they can't ......."

"Then shut them up!"

At this moment, Zheng He's heart suddenly sank, and he felt that his entire body was cold from head to toe.

It was no secret that Jiaozhi was almost burned to the ground, Zheng He naturally knew about it, and connected Zhu Zhanyan in front of him with the fire......

Zheng He suddenly had an emotion called fear.

He is the person who has traveled the most places in the Ming Dynasty, and he has seen the most people, and he knows that the most terrifying thing is Zhu Zhanqi, a person who is not afraid of the views of the world and only seeks to solve problems efficiently.

Because this kind of person can really do anything.

"The lower official must tell His Majesty the truth." Zheng He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and bowed down and said.

"It's good to follow the rules." Zhu Zhanyan nodded and smiled, and then walked away.

"Let's go, Commander Zheng has come from afar, and he is a hero of my Ming Dynasty, so he always has to set up a banquet to entertain him."

"It's been so long, and I'm ready to come to the house, but this palace hasn't been built yet, I hope Commander Zheng won't dislike it."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World laughed." Zheng He also walked up and followed behind Zhu Zhanyan.

He actually still has questions, such as where did the 200 people who Zhu Zhan was stuffed into the city and sailed with the ocean-going fleet go, and what was he doing in the first place.

This is not only his question, but also the task assigned to him by Zhu Di, but now it seems that he is afraid that he will not get an answer.

——

Han Wangfu.

Mu Sheng, Mu Ang, Mu Xin and Princess Changning are all here, because this is the reason why Zheng He came today, because as long as you have a political sense, you know that today will be a very unusual day.

"Yo, where are they?" Zhu Zhanyan took Zheng He and pushed the door in.

The climate in Yunnan is very good, even in summer, the temperature at noon will not be particularly hot, so Zhu Gaoxu directly asked people to set the table in the courtyard.

Drinking tea, looking at the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake, and feeling the breeze coming out of Dianchi Lake, it can be regarded as a comfortable life.

"Zhan Yan has seen Aunt Chang Ning." Zhu Zhanyan bowed to Princess Changning.

As for the others, they are already very familiar with each other, and they just said hello, after all, it is not a formal occasion.

"It's all talked?" Princess Changning accosted, then sat down and turned the topic to the man.

"What can you talk about?" Zhu Zhanyan sat down with a smile.

"Commander Zheng came here this time to deliver a message, and he didn't come to me to raise the bar, what can I not talk about."

"It's ...... too" Princess Chang Ning smiled and pulled her husband.

"Zhan Yan, when are you leaving? If you don't dislike it, why don't you take your uncle with you? ”

As soon as Princess Chang Ning's words came out, everyone's hearts sank.

And Princess Changning didn't seem to react, she still said with a smile: "You, you are an excellent general, it can be said that no one in the Ming Dynasty is the best, and Chen Jikuo, who Zhang Fu has not been able to solve, let you solve it." ”

"But ah, my aunt heard that this war is a very tiring thing, and she is commanding operations and managing logistics, if you don't dislike it, bring your uncle."

"He's a literati, and he can't fight a war, but he can help you manage logistics, and it shouldn't be a problem to have any grain and grass and baggage."

When Princess Chang Ning said this, everyone present had a slightly different feeling in their hearts.

After all, it is very likely that what Princess Chang Ning represents is not simply her own thoughts.

recommended his husband to Zhu Zhanyan vigorously, which means that the one in Beijing is ...... to Zhu Zhanyan
