Chapter 407: The Ryukyu Islands

This is very important news.

"Without further ado, let's hurry to Xiaoyao Island!" Chen Feng saw hope.

Lu Daoling said with a calm face: "First of all, we don't have ships that can go out to sea. Secondly, no one knows about Xiaoyao Island, even if they have been to Xiaoyao Island, they have not returned. Some people say that those people were left on the island, others say that they died at sea, anyway, no one who is alive has ever been to the island, only the people on the island will go to the land to move. ”

"Xiaoyao Island, Xiaoyao faction, is it really so mysterious......" Chen Feng muttered to himself. The matter of the ship is easy to solve, and the imperial court has large ships that can sail, but there is no clear target location, and it is difficult to do anything after going to sea.

"Anyway, we're going to have to give it a try. Gang Master Lu, please take my token and go to the Nanjing Xinjiangkou base to meet with the sailors, and ask them to send an ocean-going treasure ship over!" Chen Feng proposed. It's not that he doesn't want to go by himself, but he can't bear to travel for days. Unable to use internal force, the injury to his heart is gradually relieving, and now he is a little inferior to ordinary people.

It's true that it's okay to walk around like an ordinary person, but after running around on the horse for three days and three nights, even ordinary people can't bear it, Chen Feng endured the pain in his heart to survive, and now he must have a good rest to cope with the next life at sea.

Lu Daoling asked the master of Huai'an to go to Nanjing, the distance was not far, and in less than half a day, he saw five ships coming from the sea.

"I only said I wanted a ship, why did I come here so much......" Chen Feng couldn't cry or laugh. He also knew the answer in his heart, the water master's actions were to show his loyalty to Zhu Gaochi.

When the emperor was alive, it was rumored that the army was more supportive of the Han king Zhu Gaoxu. Now that Zhu Gaochi has ascended the throne, the people in the army are sincerely afraid of being implicated and disposed of.

Chen Feng has a gold medal given by Zhu Gaochi, and it is a unique gold medal, he can almost represent Zhu Gaochi's will, how can the people of the Ming Water Master not stutter?

Lu Daoling had some understanding of the Daming Naval Division, and he introduced: "The largest one in the middle is an ocean-going treasure ship, and the other two patrol ships and two warships, this configuration is enough to deal with the invasion of pirates!"

Five ships approached the shore, and a majestic general came down in person.

"Admiral Zheng Hai has seen the master of the horses!" the general bowed respectfully, and the other sailor generals also knelt down and saluted.

Among the Ming Naval Divisions, the Admiral of the Naval Division can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and there are only a dozen Admirals of the Naval Division in the entire Ming Dynasty, who can command a fleet to fight.

Zheng Hai came in person, and the Nanjing sailor fully demonstrated his sincerity.

"Please come on board!" Zheng Hai invited.

Chen Feng, Lu Daoling and Dugu Huang got on the ocean-going treasure ship, the ship was very large, and the cabin was relatively luxurious, and it seemed that it had been deliberately decorated, just to welcome Chen Feng. Although the destination is Xiaoyao Island near the Ryukyu Islands, the journey is not far, but Zheng Hai arranged it thoughtfully.

Not much to say about the wine and food, and specially brought two maids, both of whom were good-looking, and both of them were watery, and they had accompanied some bureaucrats to the sea, at least they would not get seasick.

Zheng Hai placed a table and chair at the bow of the ship, and respectfully invited Chen Feng to sit down and let the two maids serve quickly.

This made Chen Feng uncomfortable, and later Zheng Hai's words made Chen Feng's impression of him fall to the bottom.

"Master Ma, I and Gonggong Zheng are still in our own family, and you will definitely say a few good words for me after you return to Beijing. ”

The relationship between Zheng Hai and Zheng He has yet to be verified, he has already become the admiral of the sailor, and he still wants to climb up and pat Chen Feng's ass, which makes Chen Feng ashamed of him. The point is that he did not mention the fleet of sailors, but for his personal sake, how can such a person be worthy of commanding a fleet?

What Chen Feng didn't understand was that the Daming Sailor seemed to be majestic, but his daily training was even more tiring than the local army. Jingguan is much more comfortable, and the treatment is better, and it is normal for Zheng Hai to want to transfer the sailor. But his blatant currying favor and not performing his duties well as a sailor general is simply a shame for the imperial court.

A soldier should look like a soldier, and if you make contributions on the battlefield, the court will naturally reward and promote you, rather than relying on those small actions to go through the back door.

Chen Feng simply ignored Zheng Hai, Zheng Hai would also observe words, knowing that Chen Feng didn't like to listen to compliments, so he stopped patting on the back, and just let the maid continue to serve Chen Feng.

As soon as Zheng Hai left, Dugu Huang complained: "I just can't get used to seeing these faces of people in the court, as a general, I don't know how to train my subordinates to defend the country and defend the country, I only think about my official fortune, such a person is not worthy of being an official at all!"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Uncle Huang is right, after returning to Beijing, I will definitely tell the imperial brother and let him check this Zheng Hai carefully." ”

If Zheng Hai has some real skills, it doesn't matter, if he doesn't have any skills, he became a commander by relying on the fox and fake tiger all the way, and such a person should be dealt with as soon as possible.

Five ships continued to sail, two cruisers pulling apart, one scouting ahead and the other keeping watch around.

The patrol ships that were inquiring ahead would come from time to time to report information, waving pennants as code words, and the road was calm.

By nightfall, the ships had already reached the Ryukyu Islands.

Zheng Hai hurriedly ran over: "Master Ma, it's getting late, it's inconvenient to sail, and I can't find that Xiaoyao Island." Even if you do, you probably won't be able to see clearly. It's better to stay on the shore first and wait for tomorrow to search carefully. ”

His proposal was correct, it was very close to the Ryukyu Islands anyway, so it was better to go ashore and stay for the night.

The Ryukyu Islands were originally divided into three countries, Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei, but a few years ago, Shanbei had been conquered by the then son of Zhongshan, Shangbazhi. Now Shang Bazhi has become the king of Zhongshan, and the country is strong, although there is still Shannan still not destroyed, but it is only a matter of time.

Regardless of the situation in the Ryukyu Islands, the countries on the islands have always been vassals to the Ming Dynasty. Chen Feng's five ships had the Ming flag fluttering, and before they docked, the islanders on the shore began to kowtow and bow down.

Zheng Hai stood at the bow of the boat and said proudly: "Please look at Chen, these small countries and widows are all subordinates of my Ming Dynasty, let's go to the palace of Zhongshan Kingdom to live today!"

He has an evil smile from time to time, which is annoying no matter how you look at it.

Five ships docked, Zheng Hai led Chen Feng, Lu Daoling and Dugu Huang to disembark, followed by thirty sailor soldiers.

As soon as a few people came ashore, a group of people galloped in the distance.

"It's the people from Nakihito City who came, the place where we docked is the closest to Nakihito City, and I know the city lord here very well, so let me negotiate." Zheng Hai took the initiative to ask.

When the team of more than 100 people approached, one of the people dressed as a nobleman ran up in fear: "It turned out that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty had arrived, and I was afraid that Nidu had seen Admiral Zheng!"

I didn't expect that the people here really knew Zheng Hai, and seeing that they looked scared, it seemed that Zheng Hai must have often come here to be powerful.

Zheng Hai was busy introducing Chen Feng: "Chen Concubine, this guy is the city lord of Guiren City today. I'm afraid of Nido, this person next to me is a relative of the emperor, the person the emperor relies on the most, Chen Feng and Chen Ma are him!"

"I'm afraid that Nido has seen Chen's horse!"

Chen Feng waved his hand to let him get up, and what Chen Feng was thinking at this moment was that except for the Central Plains Martial Arts, the level of martial arts in other places did not know how. There are masters in the Western Regions, and there will be some masters in the Wa Kingdom, so what about the Ryukyu Islands?

Regardless of whether there are masters or not, Chen Feng's current purpose is to go to Xiaoyao Island, and he really doesn't want to have too much contact with the people of the Ryukyus.

But Zheng Hai didn't think so, it was rare to perform in front of Chen Feng, of course he had to be thoughtful.

"I'm afraid of Nido, Admiral Ben originally wanted to go to Shuri Castle, but it was getting late, and now the distance is far away and inconvenient, so why don't you go to your Nakijin Castle for one night. ”

Shuri Castle is the capital of Zhongshan Province, and it is indeed far away from the place where everyone docks.

Afraid that Nido's face turned pale, but he still nodded cooperatively, he didn't dare to have any complaints at all.

No matter how you look at it, you feel that Zheng Hai is going to plague the city of Jinguiren, Chen Feng doesn't want to get involved, and he doesn't bother to stop it, because the overseas people have no intention of conquering the Ming Dynasty, but the current Ming Dynasty is still quite strong, and they can only surrender obediently.

"Rest on the shore tonight. Chen Feng proposed......
