In fact, Emperor Xuande's imperial expedition looks a little headless and endless, which makes people feel inexplicable.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Ming Dynasty and Warat can be regarded as friendly, except for the death of the previous Ming envoy Yang Pu in Hulan and sudden hypothermia, there is basically no friction in the others.

But in the matter of Yang Pu, Warat has already counteracted with the head of the virtuous and righteous Wang Taiping.

So, in this matter, many people feel inexplicable.

But in fact, there is no such thing as an empty theory in this world, and since there is a result, there must be a cause.

Wumanyi.

As the place where the Ming Dynasty received envoys, and when the Shuntian Mansion was built, it was also the time when those poor and sophisticated Confucians were prevalent, so the specifications of this Wumanyi were still quite high.

But in the past few days, Wumanyi has been completely under martial law, and not only ordinary people cannot enter and exit casually, but even people in the palace and military places are no exception.

The most important thing is that during this period, the Korean monarch Li Zhen once sent someone to discuss the matter of paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and finally lived in Wu'an Tower, not Wumanyi.

All of this is just because there is a special person living in Wumanyi.

"The letter has been sent out by this king, but you still have to be mentally prepared for the result."

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair, his expression was a little absent-minded, but what he said made people feel very unreasonable.

"His Royal Highness King Wu rest assured, since the villain has come, it means that my father has made all preparations, whether it is good or bad."

Abdo lowered his head, his expression was very respectful, and the words he said made people feel undignified.

"Now that you're ready, you'll be fine." Zhu Gaoxu sat up straight when he heard this, and his face finally had a little seriousness.

"You say, your father is near the Syr Darya?"

"Back to Your Highness, exactly." Abdo was a little happy in his heart, but it didn't show it on the surface.

"My father sent a letter to the villain, saying that as long as His Highness accepts our surrender, my father can immediately bring someone to meet His Royal Highness, and will serve as a gift for us with a victory."

"Oh?" The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth curled, and there was a bit of inexplicable meaning in his words.

"That's kind of interesting, but I don't know who you and your father mean?"

"Is it your Khan? Or the two sons of your Khan? Or ......"

"Back to Your Highness!" Abdu lowered his head, his tone trembling a little.

"My father said that this can only represent my father's meaning, as for ......"

"Tut-tut......" Zhu Gaoxu smacked his lips, with a bit of disappointment on his face.

"It's not impossible...... It's just that in this way, your surrender will not be too strong......"

Abdu's body trembled, and the previous little joy had long since disappeared.

"However, this king will not be in charge of this matter, you can directly send someone to tell your father and let him go to see Zhan Yan."

"Thank you...... Your Highness ......"

Abdu said this sentence tremblingly, but at this time, Zhu Gaoxu had already gone out of the door, and he didn't know if he heard his words.

Perhaps, what can be heard and cannot be heard is of little significance to Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, it's just an Alipu, and it's not crooked, it's too different......

That's right, the Golden Horde, together with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Warat, was preparing to launch an attack on the Central Plains, and in order to contain Zhu Zhanyu, he had already been informed of Zhu Gaochu by his son Abdu, who had been sent by Alipu.

Syed Eli Arip, the one in history who supported the eldest son of Crooked Si to inherit the throne, but now, he has betrayed Crooked Si and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

All this is only because of the personality traits of the person Alipu.

Alip was a speculator, and a fairly qualified speculator, and all the while, he only did what he thought had the best chance of success.

Previously, he supported Crooked Si because, in his opinion, Crooked Si had the upper hand in the battle with Nahei, and the possibility of victory was relatively high.

Historically, he supported the eldest son of Crooked Si and did not spend it first, also because he believed that the success rate of not spending it first was higher than that of Yu Nusi.

And now, Crooked Si decided to steal an elbow from the side, Alipu didn't think it was very appropriate, but he was not at home, and there was no way to persuade Crooked Si.

In the end, he chose the most direct way.

Rather than following a strength second...... may still be the second master, but it is better to change to the most awesome master.

Judging by Aripp's decisiveness, he is indeed a qualified speculator, but in another sense, he is not a qualified speculator.

The so-called speculation, that is naturally to seek profits, but at this time, he fell to the Ming Dynasty, and he could get very little......

No, it should be said that it is a loss.

In the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, he was above 10,000 people under one person, but when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he was nothing, and it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty would eventually give him a knighthood, and it is very likely that he will not even be a marquis.

However, this is also a good deal, after all, with the old master, there is a risk of the country being ruined, but with Daming, he can at least live a peaceful life.

Moreover, the final decision is actually made by Zhu Zhanyan.

As for what others say...... Probably doesn't count.

It's just that the current Zhu Zhanyan may not have time to deal with Alipu, because he is meeting an old man at this time.

"How does it feel?"

Zhu Zhanyan looked at Zheng He in front of him and asked with a smile.

After more than half a year of rushing work, the Suez Canal was finally completed in its entirety.

The full-line breakthrough here refers to the ability to accommodate two treasure ships at the same time, and the physical connection was achieved last year.

However, in fact, the construction of the Suez Canal is still not over, and various work such as strengthening the embankment will follow.

But after the opening, Zheng He immediately led people through the Suez Canal and came to Junbao.

"Unthinkable ......"

Standing on the bank, looking at the narrow Suez Canal, Zheng He felt a little still in a dream.

"To be honest, Sanbao never thought that he would be able to go to such a place one day, let alone that the land of the Ming Dynasty would be able to expand here one day......"

As he spoke, Zheng He turned around and saluted Zhu Zhanyan.

"The merit of the son of the world can cover the ...... of the world"

"Eh, eh, ......" Zhu Zhanyan hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted Zheng He.

"Why, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you, the eunuch of the three guarantees, have also learned to pat on the back?"

Zheng He shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Previously, he was actually hostile to Zhu Zhanyan, although he did not stand on the side of any faction, but as a loyal supporter of Emperor Taizong, he unconditionally supported any decision of Emperor Taizong.

At the beginning, Emperor Taizong chose the prince's lineage, so he Ma Sanbao supported the prince's lineage, that's all, there was no more reason.

But now it seems that Zheng He feels ......

It can only be said that from his own point of view, he thinks that Zhu Zhan Yan may be more suitable than the first emperor Hongxi Emperor and the current Xuande Emperor.

After all, Emperor Hongxi's character is known to the world, and no one thinks that under his governance, the territory of the Ming Dynasty can reach the level of Zhu Zhanyan.

"Alright." Seeing that Zheng He didn't speak, Zhu Zhanyan also knew that he was embarrassed for him, so he simply stopped talking about it, but changed the topic.

"Let's get down to business, you take this."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan threw a scroll to Zheng He.

"This is a nautical chart."

"I know that you, Ma Sanbao, will not be satisfied with running for the imperial court and transporting grain and grass materials, so I arranged another errand for you."

"There are instructions on the back of the scroll, which include, but are not limited to, the general situation and your mission."

"I don't put pressure on you, after all, you are not a young person now, so how much you can do and when you can do it, I don't set a deadline for you, you can do as much as you want."

"But there is one thing, Wang Jinghong, you have to leave it for me."

Wang Jinghong, Zheng He's deputy, when Zhu Zhan was in the east to conquer the Japanese country, he was responsible for transporting soldiers and later grain and grass.

His talent in navigation is not inferior to Zheng He, in history, when Zheng He died of illness on the seventh ocean trip, it was Wang Jinghong who took over the command of the treasure fleet and brought the treasure fleet back to the Ming Dynasty.

"Sanbao, obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zheng He lowered his head, and Zhu Zhanyan was also extremely satisfied.

"Okay, if it's okay, go back early and prepare, if you're in a hurry, go to the Mu family, if you're not in a hurry, go to Xiangzhou Mansion."

"However, I still recommend you to go to Xiangzhou Mansion, the Mu family has not yet gained a stable foothold, and many things are not complete, which may have an impact on your supplies."

"Sanbao is going to Xiangzhou Mansion, because Sanbao is also entrusted by His Royal Highness to send a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, no matter what the result is, Sanbao will return to Xiangzhou Mansion to return to His Royal Highness Er."

As he spoke, Zheng He took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and presented it to Zhu Zhanyan with both hands.

"Zhan Qi's letter?" With a little strangeness, Zhu Zhanyan opened the envelope.

Soon, his expression changed from strange to clear.

In fact, it's not a big deal, after nearly two years of sailing, the whaling fleet that Zhu Zhanyan organized at the beginning finally had a harvest.

Is whale meat good? Zhu Zhanyan didn't know, he hadn't eaten it either, but he wanted whale oil, not meat.

Of course, meat cannot be wasted, and when the time comes, whether it is sent to the army or dried for storage, it is useful in short.

"Go back and tell Zhan Qi to let him go to my study in the palace of Xiangzhou Mansion, there is a ram biography on the shelf, he will know if he goes to see it."

"Yes."

Zhu Zhanyan's order was clueless, but Zheng He did not hesitate and took it directly.

Since Zhu Zhanyan said it, it must be intentional, as for what the intention is, it has nothing to do with him.

Of course, Zhu Zhanyan is not that kind of person, he has already prepared the relevant arrangements, waiting for the arrival of the east wind.

It's just that in Zhu Zhan's decision, the world's first railway was not built in the Central Plains, but in Xiangzhou Mansion.

The starting place is Xiangzhou Mansion and the ending point is Nanzhou Prefecture.
