Zhu Ying's power reached its peak with the shouts of millions of people.

The expressions of all the civil and military officials had a hint of complexity.

Strictly speaking, these officials have no major connection with Zhu Ying.

Most of them achieved their current status only under Zhu Yuanzhang's appointment.

This is especially true among military generals. It can be said that almost all of them have fought with Zhu Yuanzhang in the world. Even those who are younger and were born after the founding of the Ming Dynasty have also received military training and other matters arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Ying is the most favored grandson. He seems to have great power and wealth, but in fact he has no people of his own.

Whether it was Xuan Jia Wei or many stewards of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, including Uncle Zhang, they had not actually entered the core team of the imperial court.

Their power is attached to Zhu Ying.

Even Liu Sheng, who has real power, can only be in Annan.

There are six ministers, many ministers, and the governor's office of the five armies. Among them, there is no real confidant of Zhu Ying.

Many ministers previously thought that this situation might be a restriction imposed by His Majesty on His Highness the Grand Sun.

But the shouts and cheers of millions of people today made everyone understand.

It's not that His Majesty has any restrictions on His Highness Taisun, but that His Highness Taisun doesn't need to cultivate any talents at all.

Momentum is sometimes not worth mentioning.

But if the quantitative change reaches a qualitative change, it is already a completely controllable force.

At this time, it was not just the civil and military ministers who were shocked.

The one with the most powerful impact should be Chen Muyue, who is sitting on the dragon chariot.

At this moment, her mind was completely shocked.

She had never heard of such a grand scene in her life.

Compared with Annan, it is completely different.

Originally, Chen Muyue still felt a little guilty about what she had done when she returned to Annan, but now it has completely disappeared.

Being able to fully join the Ming Dynasty is a really good thing for Annan.

Zhu Ying, who was sitting, stood up at this moment, raised one hand, and waved his arms to the people on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue.

Now, all the people were even more excited.

The black skin fell to his knees and shouted loudly for His Majesty the Grand Sun.

In such an environment, the dragon chariot went all the way to Zhengyang Gate.

The crowd on the pier became even denser, but this was not a star chase, and there was no saying that any common people would rush into the dragon chariot rashly.

Those who are grateful in their hearts kowtow continuously on the ground to express their excitement and gratitude.

At the pier, more than a dozen blessing ships were waiting, and a large number of naval officers knelt down to welcome Zhu Ying's arrival.

When the dragon chariot arrived at the pier, the navy commander who was going to Annan this time walked quickly, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, saying: "I Jin Kaishan, I pay my respects to His Highness the Grand Sun."

Jin Kaishan was the first group of Ming Dynasty navy soldiers to follow.

When he was still in the Chaohu Navy, Jin Kaishan was a small leader. After the Battle of Panyang Lake, Jin Kaishan was proudly promoted to the position of general because of his merits. ….

But after that, there was no other movement.

It seems that the Central Plains Dynasty focused on land warfare and despised water warfare.

Even though the current Daming Navy is extremely powerful, even Yu Tongyuan.

That is to say, Yue Xunhou, the younger brother of Yu Tonghai, who built the Chaohu Navy. Although he is now the commander of the Ming Dynasty Navy, it can actually be said to be no different from a sinecure.

Even the Ministry of War doesn't care much about the entire Daming Navy.

That is, Zhu Ying worked hard to lift the forbidden sea, conquered the Japanese country, opened up maritime trade, guarded the sea routes, and vigorously promoted private capital to participate in maritime trade and build more warships.

This allowed today's Ming Dynasty Navy to have some say among many generals.

Right of speech.

Of course, it is impossible to ask the Yuexun Hou to dispatch Chen Muyue to Annan. Jin Kaishan is a direct subordinate of the Yuexun Hou, and he is alert. He is not yet fifty, so he should be in his prime.

It is most suitable to fulfill His Royal Highness Taisun's decree.

"Get up." Zhu Ying nodded.

Then he ordered: "I think you already know some specific things about going to Annan this time."

"But I want to remind you that outside the Ming Dynasty, especially at sea, you must show our Ming Dynasty's majesty, especially when it comes to any issue related to the Ming Dynasty's face, even if it is the slightest, you must not let it go."

"The countries in Nanyang each have their own thoughts. As a general, you should not get involved in their interests. Just remember that if you feel that they are contemptuous, you must teach them a lesson. .”

"Except for some arrangements made by Concubine Yue, I can allow you to act expeditiously on other matters."

"Remember, behind you is the entire Ming Dynasty."

Jin Kaishan didn't study much, but his brain was relatively flexible, and he immediately understood the meaning of His Highness Taisun's words.

Immediately, he respectfully replied: "The last general is Jin Kaishan, and I sincerely obey the order of His Majesty Taisun!"

Zhu Ying looked at Jin Kaishan who was slightly excited and knew that he was a sensible person.

Zhu Ying almost said it clearly in what he just said, asking Jin Kaishan to try his best to create some trouble in Nanyang.

It's obvious that he wants to bully others.

Thirty thousand naval troops are absolutely powerful not just at sea, but also on land.

There are also elite cavalry.

With so many soldiers passing by, how could they really just complete the escort mission? Wouldn't that be a huge waste?

Promoting the prestige of the Celestial Kingdom is only superficial.

Secretly, Zhu Ying has to achieve a lot of benefits.

Things like tariff barriers are not something that will only appear in later generations. They have already appeared now.

Collecting taxes was not the exclusive power of the Ming Dynasty.

When Ming merchants conduct trade in other countries, they also need to pay taxes according to the local country's tax requirements.

It is obvious that taxes protect local chambers of commerce, even in the Ming Dynasty.

There are also some types of prohibited trade, not just strategic materials, but also some unique items. Many countries will also prohibit trade when they are scarce.

What Zhu Ying wants to do is to find ways to open the tariff barriers in these countries. ….

After Chen Muyue boarded the ship, this episode was finally over.

Jin Kaishan stood on the deck, watching the long-lasting crowd on the pier when His Highness Taisun left in the dragon chariot, and he naturally felt a little sigh in his heart.

This is the first time Jin Kaishan has met His Highness Taisun, and this meeting is also what Jin Kaishan is looking forward to the most.

To a certain extent, His Highness Taisun undoubtedly fits Jin Kaishan's imagination very well.

Although the Ming Navy itself had some relationship with His Highness Taisun, the implementation of a series of policies made all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Navy recognize Zhu Ying very much.

Not to mention the improvement in the navy's treatment, this feeling of importance alone makes all the generals of the Ming Navy feel grateful.

[In view of the general environment, "Generals are really calm. When my subordinates saw His Highness Taisun, they were trembling all over. It seemed like there was a strong force pressing on me, so that I didn't dare to raise my head to look at His Highness Taisun." The dragon’s face.”

"General, can you describe me to your subordinates? I really regret it. Why am I so useless?"

The confidant next to Jin Kaishan didn't speak to Jin Kaishan until the dock was out of sight.

When Jin Kaishan paid homage to His Highness Taisun, he followed behind.

Originally, I had made up my mind to see what His Highness Taisun looked like, and whether he was as good as the rumors, as if he was a banished immortal.

It was a pity that he never dared to raise his head to look at His Highness Taisun because of the pomp and circumstance on the pier.

Even now, he waited until the dock was completely out of sight before talking to Jin Kaishan.

Jin Kaishan laughed and scolded: "You little brat, you are usually the bravest."

"Why are you in front of His Highness the Grand Sun? I don't even have the courage to raise my head. I'm a coward."

"Why ask this general? Why don't you ask them."

Jin Kaishan pointed to the other subordinates who had just followed him and said.

At this time, several other subordinates could only smile awkwardly and did not cancel the person who had just asked the question.

Jin Kaishan was stunned for a moment and said, "You guys don't even dare to raise your heads?"

One of them said with a sneer, "That's because we respect His Majesty the Grand Sun from the bottom of our hearts. If we dare to go overboard in the slightest, we naturally never raise our heads."

"General, you just want to talk to us."

Jin Kaishan smiled and said: "You guys, if you want to know His Highness Taisun's face, then work hard for me. If you get credit, His Highness Taisun will naturally summon you again."

Several subordinates looked at each other, and then one of them said: "General, aren't we just escorting Concubine Yue to Champa? There is no merit in this matter, and it is not worthy of being summoned by His Highness the Grand Sun. .”

Jin Kaishan pointed at several subordinates and scolded: "Didn't you understand what His Highness Taisun just said?"

"If it were just as simple as escorting Concubine Yue to the edge of Champa City, there would be no need to dispatch 30,000 navy troops and even 10,000 elite soldiers."

"If things go away like this and we come back, not only will we have no merit, but we will also be guilty. At least in the heart of His Highness, it will be greatly compromised. If anything good happens in the future, it will not be our turn." ….

These words made the confidants look confused and confused.

Jin Kaishan was also a little speechless, so he could only say: "Let's see what we do, there are a lot of things happening along the way."

He knew very well that this incident was going to cause trouble.

Only by constantly causing trouble can we stir up trouble.

Once things are settled, the credit will naturally come, and it will be in line with His Highness the Grand Sun's wishes.

No matter what arrangements are made in the future, there will naturally be more opportunities.

.....

Annan is close to the sea, but this is Chen Muyue's first time taking a boat.

Not to mention entering the sea, I felt very uncomfortable not long after getting on the boat.

I once longed for the sea, but now I have no idea at all.

The feeling of seasickness is extremely painful and uncomfortable, and the whole stomach feels like it is churning.

And this is only half a day.

From arriving at Champa Pier to the end of this voyage, there are still nearly two months.

When she thought of this, Chen Muyue felt as if she was about to die.

Fortunately, the maid Xiaoqing is not so serious and can always stay with Chen Muyue to take care of her.

All of a sudden, Jin Kaishan became nervous.

If Concubine Yue had any good deeds, no matter how great her achievements were, she would only be punished.

"What did the imperial doctor say? How is the physical condition of Concubine Yue?"

Jin Kaishan was waiting outside the cabin.

Inside is the residence of Concubine Yue, and the cabin of this main ship was specially modified after Zhu Ying arranged for Chen Muyue to go to Annan to get married.

A large amount of space is used for Chen Muyue's residence.

There are two female doctors on board the ship.

As the commander-in-chief, Jin Kaishan is also on the main ship, but his cabin space is only a very small part.

In order to avoid suspicion between men and women, the ways in and out are completely different. No matter what time it is, there is no possibility for Jin Kaishan to enter Yue Fei's residence.

I can only wait outside anxiously for the results.

The eunuch who had just come out frowned and said: "General Jin, the imperial doctor said that the empress' condition may be

It's a bit serious, and you may need to find a dock to stop for a while, and wait until Yue Fei has recovered a little before you can continue sailing. "

Ordinary seasickness is not a big problem, but Chen Muyue's current situation is considered serious.

All of a sudden, Jin Kaishan was in trouble.

The navy's marching route has very clear regulations, and it doesn't mean that you can stop wherever you want.

If the Ministry of War pursues impeachment, Jin Kaishan will undoubtedly bear the main responsibility.

After hesitating a few times in his mind, he asked again: "The imperial doctor said, is there anything we can do about this situation?"

"We haven't entered the sea yet, and I'm afraid it will be even more bumpy once we enter the sea. If that happens, there will be no way to stop the ship."

Hearing this, the eunuch looked a little helpless.

He hesitated for a while and said, "The imperial doctor is currently giving the queen acupuncture. The queen is currently speechless."

"After the acupuncture is over, I will ask the queen for instructions."

When Jin Kaishan heard this, a stone fell in his heart.

If it was Concubine Yue who requested to stop the ship, the responsibility would naturally not fall on him.

Even if there are some minor sins, they are nothing.

In the cabin.

The female imperial doctor was giving Chen Muyue acupuncture.

After some acupuncture, Chen Muyue felt that she was much better. Although she was still a little groggy, her body was no longer so uncomfortable.

"Thank you, I feel much better." Chen Muyue thanked the female imperial physician.

The female imperial doctor bowed and said, "These are all matters within the scope of my duties."

"Currently, it seems that the empress only had such a violent reaction because it was her first time boarding the ship. After a few days of relief, she will no longer be like this."

"I will give you acupuncture later. In the past few days, I will eat lighter meals to avoid irritation."

Chen Muyue nodded.

At this time, the eunuch who had gone out earlier asked: "Your Majesty, General Jin is waiting outside and wants to ask your Majesty if you need to dock for a rest."

Chen Muyue shook her head and said, "Tell General Jin not to delay your trip because of my affairs."

"Everything will be done as planned."
