"Your Highness is wise." Seeing that Zhu Su accepted his advice, Yao Guangxiao breathed a sigh of relief. He continued: "One more thing, please help the poor monk bring it to King Jingjiang, Your Highness."
"'If you have a single delusional thought, you will suffer all kinds of suffering in the world.' Just say this to King Jingjiang."
"'Only one thought of delusion will lead to all the suffering in the world'?" I know that Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Tiezhu were both teachers and friends when they were in the imperial village, but what does this sentence mean? After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I will remember it. I will bring a message to Tiezhu for you."
"Amitabha. That's all the poor monk wants to say." Yao Guang declared the Buddha's name Xiaoxiao.
…
Seeing the ship that sent Yao Guangxiao and Gao Qi away, Zhu Su felt another big stone fall in his heart. They took away about a thousand soldiers, and Yao Guangxiao took charge of everything. They thought they would reach the Japanese country safely.
"Okay, let's set off back to Ming Dynasty in a few days." Zhu Su said to the people behind him. The treasures collected from various lairs have accumulated, but there are actually quite a few, and they are still being counted. Once the inventory is complete, you can start your journey back. "I don't know what General Zhang has planned? Do you want to go with our army?" Zhu Su asked Zhang Hedao.
"The three highnesses are here, and the general will definitely send them back safely." Zhang He said with clasped fists. "After sending back the three His Highnesses, it won't be too late for the general to set sail back to Fuzhou."
"Then I'll bother General Zhang." Zhu Su nodded. He also wanted to find more opportunities to build a good relationship with this rare admiral. Nowadays, the main enemy of the imperial court is Nahachu who is entrenched in Liaodong. In order to defeat Nahachu, when Lao Zhu frees up his hands in the court, he will definitely station troops in Ji Town near Liaodong.
To station troops, one must first station food. After a while, the imperial court is expected to open a shipping channel to transport food and wages to Liao. Judging from previous history, Zhang He must be responsible for this matter. At that time, Zhu Su will still rely on General Zhang.
If the opening of the maritime channel this time is done well, it can also be regarded as a practice for reopening the Maritime Silk Road in the future. And don't forget, the maritime business promised to Suzhou merchants will still fall on this Liao grain shipping.
In both public and private matters, Zhu Su had to burn Zhang He's temporary "cold stove".
Zhang He was naturally flattered by Zhu Su's courtesy as a prince. Zhang He is not an ordinary reckless man, and his thoughts are also extremely delicate. From Zhu Su's daily behavior, he could also see the prince's inexplicable enthusiasm for the sea. For a general who is accustomed to naval warfare, could there be anything more flattering than this? He was also extremely respectful to Zhu Su on weekdays, and felt that he regarded the young Fifth Highness as a bole.
Zhu Su is also happy to see the success. He and Zhang He often talked about maritime affairs all night long, and they felt like they had met so late. When leaving the island, Zhang He was even invited to be stationed on the same ship, and Zhang He readily agreed.
So on the seventh day of March in the sixth year of Hongwu, King Zhu Su of Wu, King Zhu Peng of Qin, and King Zhu Di of Yan set sail from this unknown island, preparing to return to the Ming Dynasty. Before leaving, the King of Wu ordered Zheng Guogong Chang Mao to search for the leaders of the Japanese pirates and set up temples on various beaches to deter the Japanese pirates at sea. The Japanese pirates in the East China Sea were all shocked. In this year, no Japanese pirates dared to invade again during the Ming Dynasty.
"Beyond the East China Sea, further east than the Japanese country, is there really another treasure land on the continent? And it is no less fertile than our country?" In the cabin, Zhang He held the chair back with one hand, his eyes shining brightly. "Your Highness is trying to trick the general!"
"You don't know what my fifth child is capable of." Zhu Xi crossed his legs and felt quite comfortable eating the cakes made by his wife. "Don't you see that our two elder brothers obey his younger brother's words? The fifth child in our family was adopted as a disciple by a god."
"He can tell everything about everything in the world. Master Song, who is as talented and learned as the main hall, is no less generous. Even our father is very fond of him. I am a second-rate man. My son, on the contrary, is chased and beaten by him with his dragon boots every day."
"Uh..." Zhu Su twitched the corner of his mouth. Isn't that because, second brother, your words and deeds are too ridiculous on weekdays? And how could you ever obey my words? Last night, when I was thirsty, sleepy and begging you to let me sleep, it didn't stop you from almost holding a knife to force me to tell you about shooting condors.
Fortunately, the Three Kingdoms has been published. Although the fourth brother Zhu Di sometimes takes him to analyze the war cases of the Three Kingdoms, most of the time, he just holds the Three Kingdoms and reads it by himself... Otherwise, the left side will have to talk about shooting the condor, and the right side will force himself to talk. Even if the Three Kingdoms tore itself in half, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough for these two brothers.
"The last general said something rude, your highness forgives me." Hearing that Zhu Chong "supported" Zhu Su, Zhang He apologized, but his face was even more happy. "Since we learned about it from the gods, then such a treasured land on the continent really exists."
"Moreover, in such a treasure land, only uncivilized barbarians live in it. This is really..."
“It’s so exciting!”
Zhang He was excited and gearing up. If I could lead a fleet to occupy such a place...
Isn't it equivalent to directly contributing to the expansion of the Ming Dynasty?
"So, after General Zhang returns this time, he must redouble his study of maritime affairs. In my opinion, in terms of skill at sea, no one can surpass General Zhang." Zhu Su said with a smile. Zhang He has the ability to determine the direction on the sea. With the changes in the stars at night and his own experience, he can accurately determine his position and direction in the vast sea. In this era, this is almost like cheating.
This is already the prototype of the "star-pulling technique". Zhu Su could not but be shocked that he, a martial artist, could sum up such profound knowledge as "Star-pulling Technique" based on his own experience.
Not to mention, he has almost reached perfection in the training of his "Navy".
"In the future, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably expand overseas. At that time, there will be a lot of space for generals to use their skills. If they can make achievements at sea and discover that fertile land for the Ming Dynasty, their contribution will be no less than that of the founding fathers. When the time comes, their names will go down in history and their ancestors will be honored. , it’s not impossible.” Zhu Su deliberately teased Zhang He’s ambition.
"Making meritorious deeds at sea..." Zhang He repeated silently. Who doesn't want to be a man? Zhang He is also a passionate man. How can he stand Zhu Su's incitement? "I originally thought that the last general was only good at maritime affairs. Apart from hunting down some scattered Japanese pirates, he had no other use in the Ming Dynasty..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, after I return, I will work hard to train as a boat master. If I can really sail overseas and build such an unparalleled feat for our Ming Dynasty, I will live this life in vain!"
