Ye Qing and the others just stood in the command booth, watching the entire fleet complete the turn, and raise the Sun and Moon Banner and the Emperor Black Dragon Flag.

Then they went back to the hall and had their seats.

Everyone is an old fritter who leads the soldiers, and they all have the ability to predict the outcome when they see the beginning.

Only Zhu Di, a newcomer who led the troops, took the initiative to give up the opportunity to follow him to the banquet.

"Master, Dad, Uncle Xu!"

"So I went along, just sit on a stool on the deck, and eat the same meal as the guards on duty."

Ye Qing knew what he meant, just to witness here, whether the result was as they expected.

The mental journey he is experiencing now is the mental journey of his Ye Qing when he was an apprentice.

Ye Qing looked at the 'Guo Shilang' in front of him, as if he had seen his former self!

He just patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "What do you want to eat, I'll let the kitchen cook it for you at night." ”

Zhu Di immediately replied: "No, I'll just eat the same as them." ”

Ye Qing just nodded with satisfaction, and led everyone towards the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others, while following Ye Qing to the dining room, also watched Zhu Di's back lying on the fence, facing the sea.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang, the father-in-law, and Xu Da, the father-in-law, also showed a relieved smile at the same time.

It's just that the two of them at this moment, the expectation in their hearts for Zhu Di is that he will definitely be an excellent general of the royal family in the future!

In the dining room, a sumptuous table of dishes had already been prepared for them.

It is said that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they rely on the water to eat the water, they are in this vast sea, naturally in addition to the Central Plains ingredients they brought, there are also seafood caught on the spot.

Although they eat less seafood, they don't find it unusual.

In fact, eating raw fish sashimi is not a characteristic of the Wa Kingdom, as early as the Warring States Period, there is a saying about eating fresh cut rice from the river.

Nobles of noble status can also eat fresh chilled chopped meat.

There is also mustard necessary for eating sashimi, which is not a characteristic of the Wa Kingdom, and its origin is the land of China.

As early as the time of the Zhou Dynasty, mustard had become a court condiment.

Wasabi is slightly bitter, spicy, and fragrant, and has a unique flavor that can be used as a seasoning for sashimi, as well as pickles and pickled raw meat.

The people sitting here are all the people of today, and they naturally don't find anything unusual.

Compared to the exquisite food in Ye Qing's mansion, they even felt that these things were not on the table.

But after all, the conditions are limited, and there is only one hard general!

As for everything that happened outside, they had already expected it, but they had no sense of expectation, and they just ate and drank by themselves.

Above deck,

Zhu Di just sat on the stool, pulling the food in the bowl while watching everything on the shore.

In his eyes, more and more Ryukyuan people rushed to the shore.

After Zhu Di saw this scene, he decisively put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the monocular left for him by Ye Qing, and pulled it so long.

He saw that these people had different colors, not only the colors of the Central Plains, but also other colors that he had never seen, but there were no colors of the Japanese country.

They are the closest to the Wa Kingdom, but they do not have the uniform of the Wa Kingdom, so it is conceivable that their relationship with the Wa Kingdom is not very good.

It is conceivable that they must have been harassed by the Japanese state.

Where is the root of a country's strength?

In Zhu Di's view, the foundation of a country's strength lies in its vast territory and large population.

For the Ming Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom is just a small country!

But for a small island country like the Ryukyus, it is a big country with a lot of land and resources.

If a big country and a small country are neighbors, or so close neighbors, the result can be imagined.

If it weren't for this not very wide sea area, it is estimated that the Ryukyu Kingdom would have belonged to the Wa Kingdom by now!

Therefore, after they saw the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, they all cheered.

"Daming's fleet is here!"

"Look, it's not a merchant ship, it's a Ming warship, are they going to fight the Wa Kingdom?"

"Great, that's great!"

"I'll report it to the king now."

Although they sailed along the shore, there was still a certain distance in order not to run aground.

At such a distance, above the ships at the very edge of the fleet, the soldiers and sailors could hear them cheering.

On top of the warship, in addition to the naval warriors who fought, there were also sailors who could speak the languages of the regions along the way.

After the sailors translated it to the captain, the captain immediately summed up the most useful information and asked the flag man to report it to the ship.

After receiving the news, the handsome flag soldier hurriedly ran to the dining room.

"Report!"

"The inshore warships returned, and a large number of Ryukyu people went to the beach to meet our Ming fleet."

"They thought we were going to attack the Wa kingdom, and they were all happy, and there were still people who reported to their king."

“.”

Everyone at the dinner table was very happy to hear this.

Because that's what they want.

After a few simple words of pride and sighing, they all looked at Ye Qing, the initiator of all this.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing and said secretly in his heart: "This guy knows so much about the national conditions of small foreign countries, and even the hopes of the people. ”

"He is using the hope of the Ryukyus to achieve the strategic goal of unifying the Ryukyus without blood and letting the Ryukyus fully cooperate!"

"A scholar, there is a handsome talent who has the right time and place and the right people to use it to such a degree?"

“.”

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Xu Da and Wang Baobao were secretly amazed.

Just when they were thinking about it, Ye Qing immediately spoke: "There are many people in Ryukyu who are forced to make a living, and when the merchant ships pass by, they will row small boats to approach and sell local specialties. ”

"Tell the captain and general of the inshore warship that as long as they come to sell the goods, they will buy them all at a high price."

"Remember, be kind, let them go home soon, and stay safe!"

After the flag soldier received the order, he hurriedly left the dining room.

At this moment, Ye Qing beckoned everyone to continue eating and drinking, just as these things were a small episode.

But he didn't know that everyone was once again amazed by how well he knew the local people.

Of course, there are quite a few doubts!

Half an hour later,

Just when they were full of food and drink, the Banner Soldier came to report again.

"Newspaper,"

"The captains of the battleships in the case reported that, as Lord Ye expected, there were many small boats that came close to sell goods."

"There are even a lot of local children, the captain looks bitter and buys them all at a high price."

Ye Qing just nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I know, continue to sail according to the original plan." ”

After the flag soldiers left, there was no longer suspicion in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Their eyes were only full of horror and satisfaction! .
