Zheng He's trip to the West can be said to run through the entire Yongle Dynasty.

From the first time in the third year of Yongle to the sixth return to the West in the twenty-first year of Yongle Yongle, the entire Yongle dynasty was quite affected by this incident.

In addition, Zhu Zhanqi also said to the former Emperor Taizong that to dig a canal in Suez, in addition to facilitating the rule of the Timurid Empire and the caravan business, the most important thing is to provide a new route for the ocean-going treasure fleet.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is Zhu Zhanyan's greatest concession, if he lets it again, then he doesn't have to do anything else, just like Zhu Bai, the king of Hunan when Jianwen cut the domain, he can cut himself.

But now, when the new emperor Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he burned a total of three fires, the first fire was to move the fiefdom of King Zhao to Shenyang, the second fire was to increase the kings, and the third fire was to stop the Western thing.

In the eyes of most people, Zhu Gaochi is cutting off his wings.

Moving the fiefdom of King Zhao, this thing is normal, after all, it is the supreme position, everyone has to guard against it, let alone brothers, sometimes even sons have to be guarded against.

For example, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, he didn't guard against his son, what was the result?

The second thing, a little reluctantly, but also normal.

Increasing the fortune of the vassal kings seems to be a gesture of favor to the kings, but in fact it is adding a set of shackles to the kings.

You said that at the beginning, Emperor Jianwen tried his best to cut down the feudal domain, forcing the vassal kings to have no way to live, and the king of Hunan even set himself on fire, and Emperor Taizong was helpless to serve the heavens.

But what about now? The new emperor ascended the throne, not only did not cut the domain, but also gave you an increase in Lu, when the emperor was in power, you didn't have such a generous treatment, you didn't oppose it at that time, and now there is no reason to oppose it?

But the third thing is that it really doesn't make sense.

Who doesn't know, in this world, what the new emperor needs to guard against the most is the king of Wu's lineage, you are good, don't say that you will increase the most years for King Wu first, and you will also cut off the matter of going to the West.

What is this not self-shearing wings?

However, this is just the thoughts of ordinary people, different people have different opinions about the same thing, and this is not just different from person to person.

Different classes, different ideas, and even different situations will change their way of looking at problems.

……

On the banks of the Syr Darya River, in the tent of the Ming military camp.

Zhu Zhanyan took off the dragon suit on his body, looked at the dragon pattern between his chest and abdomen, and put it in the box with great care, and then picked up a piece of clothing from another box.

It was a piece of clothing with a rough texture and pure white color, made of coarse linen, which in this era was collectively known as filial piety.

For an heir like Zhu Gaochi who serves by his side, on the day the old man enters the mausoleum, he will start to wear filial piety clothes, abide by the rules and start to observe filial piety.

But Zhu Zhan Yan is different, for people like him who travel far away, he usually starts to observe filial piety on the day he receives the news (Note 1).

Three years of filial piety is not actually three years of filial piety, but twenty-seven months.

This is the same as being pregnant for ten months, although it is said to be ten months of pregnancy, but in fact it is only about nine months and ten days, and this is the same for three years of filial piety.

It is said that filial piety is three years, but it is actually twenty-seven months, because in ancient times, the time for elders to breastfeed their children was twenty-seven months.

Therefore, three years of filial piety is actually two years and three months.

Feeling the rough texture of the coarse linen filial piety clothes, Zhu Zhanyan didn't say anything, and even for him, a person who has been clothed and fed since he was a child, he was not half unaccustomed.

You must know that since Yongle started his expedition to the grassland in the eighth year, although he will not go to the battle array and risk the arrows and stones in person, he will also be able to wear armor.

Wearing armor is a very hard thing, even if you don't do anything, in comparison, wearing filial piety clothes is really good.

"Your Highness......"

Seeing Zhu Zhanyu, who was dressed in a coarse linen filial piety suit, walk out of his tent, Zhu Ling, Zhu Ping, Jian Xiao and Zhu Sanfeng and other four people greeted him in unison.

"Pass the order, and the army will march!"

Zhu Zhanyan's voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't affect Zhu Ling and the four of them to hear his hidden emotions at all.

"Target...... Astrakhan! ”

Astrakhan, located on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, in the place where the Volga River flows into the Caspian Sea.

In later generations, there was a name known to all of them: Starlingrad (everyone who knows).

Today, Zhu Zhan is located in the Syr Darya Valley, a place called the Turan Plain, but the Turan Plain is not a place where the population gathers, even if the terrain here is very flat.

There were only a few small tribes of the Golden Horde around the Syr Darya River, and there were no other signs of human beings, because the Turan plain had very little rainfall, was unsuitable for farming, and nomadism was somewhat laborious.

But the Volga basin is different.

Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping would not oppose Zhu Zhanyu's order, and although Jian Xiao and Zhu Sanfeng would not object, they would think.

Here, it is usually the beginning of October, or even the end of September, when winter begins, and the whole is about the same as that of Nu'er Gandusi, and the march is ......

The Turan Plain is not well received due to the Caucasian Mountains and the Ichiro Plateau, but the winter weather is not good because of the lack of barrier in the north.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Zhanyan rubbed the filial piety clothes on his body, and was in a trance.

The old man entered the mausoleum, the kings increased their lu, and the fief of their third uncle was also changed to Shenyang.

The old man gave himself two edicts at the beginning, the purpose was for this, and now everything is as good as his old man's wishes, which can be regarded as okay.

It is believed that the emperor's entry into the tomb is equivalent to the entry of ordinary people into the earth, which means that this person has completely ended this life and is going to the underworld to start reincarnation.

Now, everything is stable in the Ming Dynasty, and his old man Fengtian Jingnan has "occupied" that position, and now, he can finally give a satisfactory answer to the underground Emperor Taizu Gao.

It's time for you to move.

When the old man entered the mausoleum, although he was dressed in filial piety clothes, he could not go to the mausoleum to pay respects, so ......

Let the world be white!

……

The entire Ming army knew what kind of life experience their main general had just gone through, and this march was different from the previous noisy and shouting, and everyone was quite quiet.

Even Ah San, who is the most detached on weekdays, is the same.

However, thanks to the topography of the Turan Plain, the march was unusually smooth, and now that winter had not yet arrived, it took the Ming army less than a month to reach Strahan.

However, this is only to the territory of Astrakhan, not to the city of Astrakhan.

Here he meets an unexpected person.

Looking at the person who was trembling in a small village, Zhu Zhanyan's face finally showed a smile.

"I've been friends for a long time before, and now that we're meeting for the first time, I'll give you a gift."

"But I'm out on the road, and there's nothing I can handle, so ...... Let's give you a chance to be reincarnated. ”

"I don't know if you people here will go to the underworld after they die, if you go down to the underworld and meet the old man, you have to serve the old man for me."

Note 1: Some people say that it was when they received the news, and some people say that it was time to start when they knew that the old man had died, and the conclusions are different, so let's draw one of them.
