Zhu Quan stood on the side of the boat, looking at the slim Taoist on the boat, and felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy in his heart.
With a sword on his back and a fly whisk in his hand, he stands tall and straight, like a true immortal.
Dao Jie stirred the dust in his hand and sang loudly: "The road is deep and deep, how can I tell the news to break the horror of ghosts and gods. Holding the hidden universe, analyzing the mysterious Yuan, there is no competition in the world... I am willing to learn from others, realize this rare and subtle principle, and travel together. outside!"
Zhu Quan was fascinated by what he heard, especially the sentences such as "The wise man lives as long as the mountains and seas", "Golden body and jade bones, moon hat and star crown" are even more fascinating.
Who doesn’t yearn for the way to live forever, like the mountains and the sea sharing the same life span!
When Dao Jie boarded the ship, he saluted: "The optimistic Taoist Master Dao Jie has met Prince Ning."
Zhu Quan stepped forward to greet him, unable to conceal his joy: "Heavenly Lord of Infinite Blessings, it is really gratifying to meet such an optimistic Taoist priest in such a wild and remote place. Come and take a seat."
Dao Jie responded with a smile and took out a mahogany charm from his arms: "In my early years, I heard that Prince Ning was optimistic about spiritual practice. At that time, I was still a young Taoist priest. I met Prince Ning a few times and admired Prince Ning's Taoism deeply. In particular, the awe-inspiring and awe-inspiring sentence of 'No one can do anything but the rest' is admirable and admirable."
Zhu Quan looked at the mahogany talisman and saw that it was indeed a sign of optimism. He recognized his identity. What's more, he also told about the conversation between himself and Zhang Yuchu, and not many people knew about this conversation.
"You are just talking nonsense."
Zhu Quan invited Dao Jie to sit down and ordered people to serve tea.
Dao Jie sipped the tea and said with a smile: "Now that Prince Ning is overseas, he is a carefree man who rides on the wind."
Zhu Quan waved his hand: "There is a lot of wind here, but there is no freedom. You don't know, I didn't come here to be happy, but I was appointed by the emperor. Have you seen the sea? It's to the north. The mainland, and there is a sea to the north of the mainland. Our mission is to open a canal to connect the two seas so that the Ming Dynasty’s fleet can enter and exit unimpeded. "
Dao Jie heard about the opening of the canal, and many people talked about it along the way.
"This canal is an important piece of land that has been built for thousands of years and must be fought for."
Dao Jie understands the importance of this river.
Zhu Quan nodded heavily, it is true,
Dao Jie saw that there were many people around Zhu Quan, so he didn't say much and turned to talk about the Dao method.
Zhu Quan was naturally very interested.
From the day when the Taoist calamity arrived, Zhu Quan discussed Taoism with him every day. The two were very close and could be said to be inseparable.
Seeing that Dao Jie was so trusted and valued by Zhu Quan, everyone on the ship no longer stared at Dao Jie.
On this day, it rained heavily outside.
Zhu Quan and Dao Jie were sitting in the cabin meditating. The light from the oil lamp was not bright, and two figures moved from time to time.
Dao Jie pondered for a long time, and when he saw that no one else was present, he finally broke the silence: "Your Majesty is here, and it can be said that he has seen through the world. He jumped out of the cage and wandered freely. However, he has really put aside all things and enjoys this true peace and happiness. Running around day and night, you have no other thoughts?"
Zhu Quan opened his eyes slightly, looked at Dao Jie, and asked, "What does the Tao Master mean by this?"
Dao Jie was silent for a moment and said solemnly: "Now the general trend of the world has quietly changed. The Ming Dynasty's national power is booming, and there is no other way to break it. However, in Africa, on both sides of the canal, with the prince's courage, talent, and ability, there is much to be done . I heard that the West is weak and has empires at every turn, like the Byzantine Empire, but it has declined terribly, and the Ottoman Empire, I heard, is just an empty frame."
"If the prince can control this canal, recruit a group of people, and use King Ning's ability and military strength to create an empire that is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty, it will not be difficult, right? This is King Ning's great opportunity. Once successful, the world will respect Prince Ning. By then, it is not impossible that there will be a Nine-Five Prince here!"
Zhu Quan took a deep breath.
The Lord of Ninety-Five? !
Do you want to become an emperor?
What a big ambition!
Zhu Quan looked at Dao Jie with a sharp look: "What the Taoist said is asking us to be disloyal and unjust and betray the imperial court."
Dao Jie chuckled, right
He said seductively: "My lord, please calm down and let me speak."
Zhu Quan was silent.
Dao Jie stood up, raised his hand and said, "The Ming court is thousands of miles away, beyond reach. This is the prince's greatest opportunity and possibility. This is one. Second, whether it is Africa, Mamluks, Venice, or Ottoman , Byzantium, etc., no one can be the opponent of the prince! The enemy is weak, the prince is strong, and the sweeping trend has been completed. If the prince wants to control this world, within five years, it will be enough!"
"Thirdly, once the Mamluks, Ottomans and other territories are controlled, the prince can send his troops eastward to attack the Timur Kingdom. Today, the Timur Kingdom no longer has Timur, and is just a weak Harry. Presiding over the overall situation. Harry cannot compare with King Ning in terms of combat ability or country-governing ability. He can defeat his army and destroy his country in one battle!"
"Controlling Africa, controlling Timur's country and other territories, the people under the prince's rule will be tens of millions. At that time, it will be just a matter of ordering a million troops! Thinking back to those days, Timur was just a man in the river An inconspicuous person, but he can become the most outstanding conqueror of this land, defeating powerful enemies one after another! The prince is far better than this man, why can't he be the emperor of this land?"
Zhu Quan frowned.
Dao Jie continued: "With the prince's means and character, he can completely borrow the power of the Ming Dynasty court to use it for his own purposes. Let the court provide the prince with a steady stream of food, materials, firearms and troops to complete the campaign, and in the process In the process, we will clean up the generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty and replace them with the direct descendants of King Ning, and finally control the entire army!"
"The eternal foundation is only in the present. If the prince does not dare to give it a try, he will miss this great opportunity. Think about Han Xin back then, if he had not hesitated, how would he have ended up tragically dead with a bamboo sword! What's more, Prince Ning is now The move is not to divide the Ming Dynasty, but to open up new territories outside the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Quan was silent for a long time, holding his hands on his abdomen: "Who are you? An optimistic Taoist priest would not dare to say such a thing."
Dao Jie straightened out his Taoist robe, knelt in front of Zhu Quan, took out something wrapped in a brocade handkerchief from his arms, and handed it to Zhu Quan: "I am Dao Jie, a disciple of the chess player. On the order of the chess player, I will give this token Pass it to Prince Ning!"
"Chess player?!"
Zhu Quan's expression changed, he stretched out his hand to take the thing, opened the brocade handkerchief, and looked at the familiar ancient and modern tokens in front of him, Zhu Quan almost collapsed.
I'll go, what's going on?
I just lost a piece, will you bring me another piece?
Can't we throw this thing away?
Dao Jie said in a deep voice: "Except for Emperor Jianwen, the only person in the world who can be called a chess player is Prince Ning. This second generation chess player is the prince!"
Zhu Quan's Adam's apple moved.
A chess player’s black letter!
The terrible chess player planned a plan that was hidden from the sky and caused countless turmoil. He can be said to be an extremely terrifying existence. Looking back, it seems that he was involved in the major events of the Jianwen Dynasty.
There is rebellion in the White Lotus Sect, Yin soldiers are hiding in Jinling, and the feudal kings are rebelling one after another!
This is the chess player's order, the highest order to control the dark power in the world!
Zhu Quan felt unspeakable discomfort in his heart. Damn, this thing was given to him a few years ago. He might have rebelled with Zhu Laosi, but now it is of no use to him?
The Yin soldiers are all gone, and all the ancient and modern chess players have been played to death. Who else can he mobilize if he is given this token?
Besides, this is the Red Sea, not the Ming Dynasty, and there is no foundation for Yin soldiers.
Zhu Quan touched the cold black iron ancient and modern order, smiled bitterly, and shook his head: "The sad and funny things of ancient and modern times will be shown to future generations. It turns out that you are a member of the Yin soldiers."
Dao Jie looked at Zhu Quan with a somewhat shocked look. He didn't know why he knew the Yin soldiers' greetings.
Zhu Quan did not explain, but just returned the chess player order to Dao Jie: "You are not looking for the second generation chess player, but the second unjust death. You come here after the failure of chess players from ancient and modern times, it is quite hard." You, it only took more than a year to get here, I guess you have traveled a lot and suffered a lot, right?"
Dao Jie felt a little uneasy.
Zhu Quan walked towards a wall of the cabin, grabbed the hanging sword, and slowly drew it out.
Dao Jie looked at Zhu Quan who was approaching and calmed down: "Don't you want to become an emperor-like existence here?"
Zhu Quan stopped in front of Daojie, lowered his head, and did not take action.
Dao Jie saw Zhu Quan's hesitation and quickly persuaded him: "The general trend of the world is here. If the prince is determined to do something, I am willing to entrust him with my life and become the assistant to the prince——"
puff!
Zhu Quan held the sword and pierced Dao Jie's chest. Looking at Dao Jie with an incredible look on his face, he asked coldly: "Do you look down on me and don't take me seriously?"
"how come……"
Dao Jie felt that life was passing quickly.
Zhu Quan's mouth moved slightly, his eyes looked at the chess player order in Dao Jie's hand, and said disdainfully: "Why did you send the chess player order instead of the ancient and modern order? You want me to be the second generation chess player, why didn't you choose me? The next generation of ancient and modern? After all, you just looked down on me! I, Zhu Quan, either don't do it, or I do the biggest thing! What's the difference between asking me to be a chess player in ancient and modern times, and asking me to be the vassal king? "
Dao Jie chuckled bitterly.
It turns out that the problem lies here...
Zhu Quan drew out his sword and shook his head: "In the eyes of you people, I am not qualified to be the Ancient and Jin Dynasty, so who will take over the Ancient and Jin Dynasty, the fourth brother Zhu Di? Haha, it can only be him, but you are sure Will he answer?"
Keshan walked in without asking any questions. According to Zhu Quan's instructions, he tied Daojie and the stone together and sank them to the bottom of the sea.
Zhu Quan looked at the map.
I have to say that there is some truth in what Dao Jie said. If he really controls the Mamluks, he has every chance to bring the surrounding lands under his rule.
It's just that Dao Jie ignored one thing. This is the Suez Canal, a strategic location that Emperor Jianwen absolutely cannot give up or give up.
You can do whatever you want, but this place must be under the control of the emperor.
But without this canal, no matter how hard he tried, he would still be stared at by Ming. If he controls the Timurid Kingdom, he will be attacked from both sides by the Ming Dynasty...
This group of people only knows how to encourage people to grow their ambitions and weaken Zhu Yunwen's threat.
I don’t want to die.
How wonderful it is to live, my destiny will be connected with this canal, and the world will never forget me, Zhu Quan.
"Thank you v shameless v for the tip. I wish everyone all the best in the new year and all your wishes come true."
