Lin Che said earnestly: "The occupation of Treasure Island requires not only comprehensive preparations, but also reasonable strategies and plans. ”
"First of all, we need to send shrewd and capable emissaries to contact the rulers of the island and enlist their cooperation."
"At the same time, we need to assemble a well-trained fleet to protect our emissaries and take control of Treasure Island."
Zhu Bai asked a little anxiously, "Sir, if the people on Treasure Island are unwilling to cooperate with us, how will we deal with it?" ”
Lin Che replied: "In this case, we should first try to solve the problem through diplomatic efforts as much as possible. ”
"If diplomacy fails, we can consider using military force."
"Of course, we must make a deliberate decision to ensure that we have enough strength to deal with the resistance on Treasure Island."
"In military operations, we will try to ensure the safety of civilians and respect their rights and interests."
Zhu Fan thought about it and said, "Sir." I understand. ”
In the Chamber of Secrets.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, and Fu Youwen were already attracted by this wonderful lecture, and they couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly said to Tang He and Fu Youwen: "Did you hear it?" This treasure island contains endless wealth, and if we can seize it, we will become very rich. ”
"Our country will be strong."
Tang He optimistically added: "That's right! The Ming Dynasty already has strong maritime power, and by seizing Treasure Island this time, we will further consolidate our supremacy in Southeast Asia. ”
"At the same time, it will also provide more opportunities for our business activities."
Fu Youwen excitedly shook Zhu Yuanzhang's hand: "This plan is too spectacular." ”

"We will be far ahead in terms of economic, military and international status."
The three of them were filled with reverence and anticipation for this plan.
They began to study the secret plan, discussing how to prepare for this operation and how to use their respective strengths to ensure that the Ming would succeed in capturing Treasure Island.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair of the Taishi in the secret room, and Tang He sat in front of him, and they discussed the plan to envoy to Treasure Island.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes revealed ambition, and he had always dreamed of expanding the power of the Ming Dynasty and mastering more wealth and territory.
"Dingchen, next time our target is Treasure Island."
"There is an abundance of gold and precious stones, and I'm tired of the cumbersomeness and uncertainty of diplomacy, so how about we just send troops out and fight it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly.
When Tang He heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, his excited eyes lit up, he had always been tired of going to Nanyang and dealing with these small countries.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words at this moment, it was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I swear that I will definitely complete this mission, Treasure Island will become an excellent source of wealth for my Ming Dynasty, and I will do everything I can to ensure that your dream comes true." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, looking at Tang He's enthusiasm and determination, he believed that his plan would definitely succeed.
He nodded: "Okay, Dingchen, I have confidence in your abilities, now, we need an accurate map so that we can reach Treasure Island safely." ”
"Just wait for the second child, I believe that we will have a map soon."
Tang He asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, when do you plan to send me off?" I couldn't wait to get the ship and crew ready, just waiting for the date of the voyage to be confirmed. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and then replied: "We have to wait until we get the map in our hands before we can decide the time to leave." ”
"At the same time, I also need to arrange for some people to go to the port to secretly investigate and ensure the safety of the voyage."
"We can't let anything go wrong."
Tang He immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, and he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Your Majesty, just leave it to me." ”
"I will personally go to the port and send some reliable people to investigate."
"We have to keep the ship safe so that our plans are not thwarted by outsiders."
Even though he hasn't gotten the map yet, Yuwa has already started to prepare everything.
Leave the Confucius Temple.
Tang He recruited a crew of experienced sailors, who were fully manned and strong.
They realized the importance of this mission and were very willing to work hard for Zhu Yuanzhang's dream.
A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang told Tang He that the map had been sent, and then Tang He hurried to the imperial study of the palace, eager to see the map that would determine their fate with his own eyes.
But Tang He walked into the imperial study, and Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting at the table, staring at the map unfolded on the table.
He looked excited and anxious, as if he was thinking about how to turn the map's message into a victory for them.
When Zhu Yuanzhang found Tang He coming in, he immediately turned his head, his face full of joy.
He handed the map to Tang He, and then said solemnly: "Dingchen, this is our destination - Treasure Island. ”
"This is actually an ancient treasure map, which I've had someone study, and it shows where the gold and precious stones are."
Tang He took the map and said with admiration: "Your Majesty, you are really wise, this map is very precious, it will lead us to the ultimate treasure house of the world of gold and gems." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded, and then warned: "Dingchen, are you vainly aware of the danger of our plan?" ”
"Anyone who leaks secrets will be punished severely."
Tang He solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, we are white, I will complete this task with my life's loyalty and honor." ”
"I swear I won't let you down."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply into Tang He's eyes, and could feel the firm and fearless belief in Tang He's heart.
He knew that Tang He was the only one who could lead them to Treasure Island.
"Dingchen, I believe in you, you are my old brother and the most trustworthy general."
"I wish you a smooth journey, and let the glory and wealth of my Ming Dynasty accompany your return." Zhu Yuanzhang said encouragingly.
Tang He turned around and left the imperial study of the palace, he felt a sense of responsibility and mission in his body, and at the same time full of unknown excitement.
He understands that this mission to the sea may change the fate of the entire Ming Dynasty.
