The scenery is poor, and tourists with carriages and horses can enjoy it on the third day of the third month of the Qingming Festival.

The green moss is sprinkled with green money, and the green grass is covered with a green carpet.

The song "Nanlu·Yizhihua·Returning to the Sky on the Lake" by Zhang Kejiu, a master of the Yuan Dynasty, floats gently in the sky along with the faint singing voice.

As a few white gulls flew by, the long spring scene was shattered into pieces.

Standing at the top of Class A on the ship's side, leaning on the railing and looking at the vast blue waves, Zhu Yunxi looked up angrily at the disturbing group of white gulls in the sky, which were still bombarding the fleet with white dots.

"Brother Xi has an elegant nature, but now that there are hundreds of miles of turmoil around him, there is no moss or green grass as a blanket."

Zhu Gaochi, who had a few traces of vomiting hanging from the corner of his mouth, had extremely resentful eyes, just like a girl who had an empty boudoir by the Qinhuai River and was not allowed to have her lover Enke or her last wife, staring at Zhu Yunxi with bitter resentment.

"vomit……"

"Ugh, vomit..."

"Ugh... I... vomit... can't live anymore..."

"vomit……"

A wave surged at the bottom of the boat, and soon the familiar sound of vomiting came from all directions.

They were those who were recruited south after the re-examination last year but were not listed on the list and later served as local officials in the Jiaozhi Road of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and curled his lips and said, "Brother Chi, aren't you vomiting?"

Zhu Gaochi was seen holding his neck and his face was ashen. He bent over and opened his mouth. He took a long breath, then raised his head and said resentfully: "Do you think there is still more vomiting?"

Zhu Yunxi chuckled lightly, stepped forward and patted Zhu Gaochi on the back, comforting him: "It's been more than half a month since I left Yingtian, and you guys haven't gotten used to the wind and waves on the sea yet."

"You shouldn't have been kidnapped out of Beijing by me, to that troublesome Annan!" Zhu Gaochi shouted angrily, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

When Zhu Gaochi mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but feel sad and annoyed.

He obviously saw off his brothers at the dock outside Yingtian City, but in the end, he somehow managed to get on the pirate ship without even realizing it, Grandpa Huang and the others.

Zhu Yunxi laughed happily: "Brother Bing secretly took people to the boat. If you didn't come, you would be bored to death in Yingtian City alone."

"You might as well let me jump into the sea and die right now!"

Zhu Gaochi roared, but his whole body still surged in his lower abdomen.

Then he rushed straight to the edge of the ship's side and stretched out half of his body.

There was a painful sound of vomiting, but only a few drops of bile filled with stomach acid came out.

"Brother Chi!"

"What?"

"Starting to vomit again?"

Just when Zhu Gaochi had nothing left to vomit in his stomach, a shout came from the sea outside the giant ship.

Zhu Yunxi now came to Zhu Gaochi with a cup of tea, brought the tea to him, and looked at the sea outside the boat.

I saw a transport ship swimming in from the periphery of the entire fleet.

On the bow of the boat, I saw Zhu Shangbing, the crown prince of King Qin, shirtless, with his face flushed with joy, raising his arms and shouting.

"Brother Chi, we just caught a big fish. I heard from the people on the boat that it is a fish from the deep sea. It is rare for ordinary people to see it. I will make you a pot of fish soup later. Drink it and you will not get seasick again. "

At this time, Zhu Shangbing still looked like a prince of the Ming Dynasty. He was holding a big fish that was splashing with water and showing off to Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi on the deck.

Zhu Shangbing, who was wearing armless sleeves, had already tanned his skin, which was not very white before going to Japan, for more than half a month.

By the time he finished speaking, the transport ship had already connected with Zhu Yunxi's treasure ship.

Even on this stormy sea, Zhu Shangbing, holding a big fish in one hand, jumped from the transport ship to the treasure ship with just one step.

After a while, Zhu Shangbing carried the big fish to the top deck.

"Go and make a pot of fish soup for Prince Yan."

When Zhu Shangbing got on the deck, like a victorious general, he threw the big fish in his hand, which weighed just over ten kilograms, to the eunuch.

He clapped his hands and walked to Zhu Yunxi.

He first looked at Zhu Gaochi who had calmed down after drinking some water, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi.

"The general said that we have reached the sea outside Guangdong Road, and we can reach the sea outside Qiongzhou City in a few days."

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while and then asked: "How did the general arrange it? Will the fleet dock at Qiongzhou Port?"

Zhu Shangbing shook his head: "The general does not intend to dock at Qiongzhou Port, but he thinks we should stop at Qiongzhou Fucheng."

Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Zhu Gaochi, who had finally calmed down a little, frowned and turned around and said, "What happened in Changhua County? But the people in Annan knew that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack them, so they started to harass Qiongzhou Prefecture. Already?"

Zhu Shangbing looked at Zhu Gaochi with slight surprise. He did not expect that this cousin was not only accomplished in government affairs, but also knew a thing or two about military strategy.

Zhu Shangbing nodded, looked at Zhu Yunxi, and whispered: "Changhua County has been attacked by Annan people several times since the end of the year. Although there are not many casualties, the place is very panicked."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Shangbing looked at Zhu Yunxi solemnly.

According to his idea, he was actually consistent with Chang Sheng. Both Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi could go to Changhua, but it would be most appropriate for the Ming Dynasty's emperor grandson to stay in Qiongzhou Fucheng until he settled down in Changhua.

Zhu Yunxi fell silent.

He clapped his hands on the railing at the edge of the deck and looked deeply at the almost endless vast fleet of warships ahead.

Since the imperial court formulated the national and military strategy to conquer Annan and the South in the 25th year of Hongwu last year, the entire Yingtian City and even Zhili have been busy with this matter.

Just like the treasure ship under his feet now, it was only built when he left Beijing a month ago.

Hongwu's second general examination in the twenty-fifth year also ended completely at the beginning of winter last year. There were more than 6,000 candidates, and the imperial court registered 500 tribute students. Then on the day before the winter solstice, the emperor personally held a palace examination to determine the list of Three Tripods and Two Ranks of Jinshi.

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】

In the 25th year of Hongwu's imperial examination, all three imperial examinations were won by candidates from the Bureau of Books and Newspapers.

There are more than 150 Jinshi in the two rankings and the same Jinshi who have clearly shown that they are disciples of Xinxue.

Although the total number is not as large as the number of students who did not express their position or who were firm in Neo-Confucianism, it was a result that most people did not expect.

However, due to the fraud in the general examination, there was very little opposition from the people, and there was not even the slightest difference of opinion between the DPRK and China.

Regardless of psychology, the truth is that you are an official.

This is the true thought of most people in the court in Yingtian City today.

Another unexpected thing is that after the imperial examination, the newly appointed Minister of Rites, Ren Hengtai, went to the Publishing House in person and wrote a handwritten letter for the Bureau, which was later used as a plaque.

This was Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites, silently announcing to everyone that he had completely broken away from the Neo-Confucian system and turned to the study of mind, becoming one of the supporters of the study of mind.

Enke ended quietly after countless reversals like this.

Then the imperial court began to make full preparations for the southern expedition.

Finally, a month ago, everything was ready. The Southern Expedition Army, composed of 30,000 Jingwei officers and soldiers, was handed over to Chang Sheng, the General of the Southern Expedition, the Founding Duke, and the Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. The emperor's grandson was the supervisor of the army. Assisted by more than 20 distinguished generals in the court and hundreds of military generals, we set sail.

That day, outside Yingtian City, nine cannons were fired, there were no clouds in the sky, the sky was clear, and the sun was shining brightly.

Hundreds of treasure ships, grain transport ships, and troop transport ships covered the entire river.

A sail that can cover the sun and moon seems to cover the entire Yingtian City.

The emperor arrived personally, accompanied by the crown prince, and the three palaces and six courtyards prayed in the palace.

The emperor burned incense to worship heaven, and the prince shouted that the mountains and rivers were safe and that the Ming Dynasty would be prosperous.

Boat.

opened.

Ming Dynasty's gaze finally followed the 30,000 Jingwei army, and began to pay attention to the equally distant south.

This will be a war no less powerful than the Ming Dynasty's creation of nine borders. If it wins, it will gain half of the Central Plains. If it fails, the Ming Dynasty will give up its southern interests for decades.

"In this battle, I will never take a step back."

Finally, Zhu Yunxi spoke silently, his eyes extremely determined.

Zhu Shangbing frowned and quietly looked at the pale Zhu Gaochi beside him.

Zhu Gaochi shrugged, shook his head helplessly, sighed, and persuaded Zhu Yunxi: "There are hundreds of people in the fleet, dozens of Jinke Jinshi, and the seventeenth uncle is also on board. If something happens, the court will definitely be in turmoil, and the emperor will I’m afraid grandpa and uncle will also..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi glared angrily at Zhu Shangbing who was already looking at the sky, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.

If this guy hadn't wanted to go south with the army, and Uncle Seventeen had coaxed him into boarding the ship, he wouldn't have been dragged aboard this pirate ship by Brother Xie!

"When we get outside Qiongzhou Mansion, let Zhang Wen take the warships and head out to the sea in Changhua County to clear out the Annan boats. We will stay in Qiongzhou Mansion for three days before setting off."

After Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, he stated the arrangement.

Zhu Shangbing shook his head: "I think the general may not agree with your suggestion. Since leaving Songjiang Mansion, the general has not been on the same boat as you. He personally took charge of the flagship and asked you to hide here. In the fleet, we are just afraid of something happening. General, can you put yourself in danger?"

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】

Hearing these words, Zhu Yunxi could only smile helplessly.

My second uncle is really cautious. Even in the waters of the Ming Dynasty, he will never sit in the same boat as himself.

He even sits on the flagship that is filled with the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag, Sun and Moon Flag, Star Flag, and Handsome Flag.

Zhu Gaochi hummed twice in agreement, and then asked Zhu Shangbing: "Has the general made a strategic deployment of our army today? Who will go to Zhennanguan and who will go to Qinghua City?"

In the army, in addition to Zhu Yunxi, the emperor's grandson, even Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing had to get an errand to work.

According to Chang Sheng, since he was on the ship, he was a member of the Ming Dynasty's southern expedition army, and he had to abide by the rules of the army and obey the arrangements and military orders of his southern expedition general.

Therefore, Zhu Shangbing, who grew up in Guanzhong but was naturally good at water, became the messenger between the fleet flagship and Zhu Yunxi, the treasure ship.

Zhu Gaochi became the second deputy commander of the ship.

As for the seventeenth uncle Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who was coaxed onto the ship by his eldest nephew, the Crown Prince of Qin, he stayed with Chang Sheng as his deputy.

Zhu Shangbing looked at Zhu Gaochi and then at Zhu Yunxi.

After a while, he frowned and said hesitantly: "It's strange to say that the general obviously wants you to stay in Qiongzhou Mansion."

"Does the general want me to join the army?" Zhu Yunxi asked immediately.

Zhu Shangbing nodded: "Yes. This time at Zhennanguan, the general personally commanded 20,000 Jingwei troops, and 20,000 Nan soldiers came out from Zhennanguan to attack Langshan and dig straight into the hinterland of Annan.

As for Qinghua City, the general said that if Brother Xie insists on insisting, Brother Xie will command 10,000 capital guards and 10,000 southern troops, including the Marquis of Jingchuan, the Marquis of Huining, the Marquis of Puding, and the Marquis of Dongchuan. , Shunshuohou, Dongguan Bo, Huixianbo, and thirty generals were transferred to the command of Brother Xi to control Dahe and seize Qinghua City. "

"Good guy!" Zhu Gaochi shouted immediately, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi with ambiguous eyes: "General, half of the nobles and half of the military generals have been handed over to Brother Xi."

According to the imperial court's foreign combat experience over the years, people such as Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen are not powerful generals in the army who can lead thousands of troops.

This time, there were not many troops in the Southern Expedition, but the imperial court paid special attention to it and mobilized countless noble generals, which was beyond specifications.

And Chang Sheng placed almost an average number of nobles and a small number of generals on the war in Qinghua City.

There are no more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in total, and a marquis can only lead three to four thousand troops.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Gaochi lamented this.

Zhu Shangbing also echoed with emotion: "There are really so many uncles as cow hairs."

"Do you dare to say that they are nothing in front of Marquis Jingchuan and others?" Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Shangbing, who was gurgling.

Zhu Shangbing shrank his head and closed his mouth.

Zhu Yunxi then said: "Tell Gao Yangzhi and the others that the fleet will be stationed outside Qiongzhou Prefecture for three days, and let them detach a group of people to go to Guangxi Road. Once the Annan war breaks out, they will start to implement the reform of the land." The people accompanying us to Changhua County must hurry up to build Changhua Port, mine Changhua iron ore, and develop smelting. In the future, Changhua County will be the core of our Ming Dynasty's radiating rule over the south."

【The direct son of the Ming Dynasty】【】

Zhu Gaochi immediately accepted the order.

He is now regarded as Zhu Yunxi's marching Sima, and all he does is these civil affairs.

As for Gao Yangzhi.

The ancestral tomb of Lao Gao's family is probably smoking.

Gao Yangzhi was the number one scholar in Enke's Three-Tripod Armor in the 25th year of Hongwu!

"Prince Yan, the fish soup is ready."

When they reached the surface of the sea and the stars were shining, Zhu Yunxi and the other two people, who were already lying on three deck chairs, heard the shouts of the little eunuch Yu Tian.

Then, a wisp of fresh fragrance entered the nostrils of the three people.

At this moment, the sea was very rough, and each warship lit up candles and oil lamps, following the waves and waves, like fireflies in summer.

Yutian, who went south with the army, brought the table with his people and brought fish soup and a few simple meals.

Zhu Gaochi took the milky white fish soup sent by Yutian and asked Zhu Shangbing in a low voice: "Is this fish soup really good at preventing seasickness?"

At this time, Zhu Shangbing had already poured a bowl of fish soup into his stomach. He wiped the fish soup from the corner of his mouth with his big hand and nodded: "The old sailor on the ship told me, you drink it first. If not, I will go to the general's place tomorrow." When I come back, I’ll see if I can catch some other big fish for you.”

Zhu Yunxi, who was lightly tasting the fish soup, smiled silently.

He felt that Zhu Gaochi probably had to vomit all the way to Changhua County.

Zhu Gaochi sighed, raised his head and poured a whole bowl of fish soup into his stomach.

“I really hope I can go to Changhua County tomorrow!”

………………

Asking for a monthly ticket!

! I really hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I will have a thousand monthly passes.
