Taizhou Prefecture, the coastal docks are crowded with people, officials, gentry, and scholars. A giant monster like a giant shows its majestic power to crush everything. After many years, the giant ship is once again sailing on the sea. It is the ship of the Ming Dynasty. .
The rich ship was slowly towed out of the dock, and the moment it entered the sea, it became clear what a Big Mac was. The surrounding tug boats seemed so small in front of it.
In April of the first year of Zhengde, Fu's ship tested the sea. On that day, hundreds of ships dragged the iron cable for two hours and finally entered the water. In an instant, Fu's ship plunged into the sea like a dragon. Huge waves suddenly rose, and hundreds of ships capsized and dozens of , The rest is safe, the rich ship is not damaged, its ship is huge, looking at it from a distance, you can also feel the pressure, everyone present is amazed by it~! ! !
The big ship that Zhu Houzhao had been looking forward to for a long time was finally completed. The two uncles thought that nothing would happen and they could return to Beijing to enjoy their blessings. When they happily handed over the memorial, just two days after the memorial went out, an imperial edict arrived.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. I heard that the rich ship was recently completed. The Marquis of Jianchang and Shouning worked hard and made great achievements. They were given a thousand pieces of brocade and thirty thousand silver to encourage them. In addition, I heard that there are various countries in Nanyang on the sea. I ennoble Zhang Yanling, and Zhang Heling is appointed as Xuanwei and Xuanwei Envoy. He is responsible for collecting rare plant and food seeds. He will search for them one by one and bring them back as shown on the map. I intend to go to sea in three days without delay. I appreciate this."
The eunuch who came with the decree was named Feng Ji. He was eloquent, very smart and smart. He was chosen this time because he was from a family in the sea. He became a eunuch halfway. The eunuch who accompanied him should be knowledgeable and courageous. The key to being smart and exciting is to be able to endure hardships and have a strong body, otherwise it is really not possible. Most of the eunuchs in the palace were purged when they were young and their health has long since failed, so they chose him.
This guy was also excited, knowing that if he managed things well this time, he would definitely be put into good use by Liu Jin after he returned. It would be difficult to get along with no one in the palace, so he seized this opportunity and came.
The two brothers Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling looked at each other in bewilderment. Come on, it's better now. Don't even think about staying on land, let alone the capital. I don't know if anyone will come back alive. The imperial edict is frightening. What else can be done?
"Brother, what should I do? Are you really going to sea? I've heard that people often die at sea. It's not a place for people at all. What do you think we should do?"
"hehe."
"Brother, why are you laughing? Come up with something!"
"hehe."
"elder brother······!"
"Hehehe."
"Your Majesty!!!"
The two brothers cried, crying like children, extremely sad.
When Feng Ji saw the two princes like this, he rolled his eyes and comforted with a smile: "You two princes, there is no need to be like this. I think this is a benefit given by your majesty to the two princes. There are endless benefits on the sea. There are countless rare treasures, Your Majesty has really good intentions."
The two of them were no longer sad and looked at Feng Ji curiously.
Feng Ji smiled and said, "If the two princes don't despise the humbleness of this servant, I will go and talk to the two princes later."
"Are you telling the truth? Your Majesty has good intentions?"
"You dare to lie to us, be careful of your stupidity."
Feng Ji's few words aroused their curiosity and interest in the sea. The two princes, princes, and an eunuch chatted together, and soon Feng Ji became their confidant.
Qi Jingtong went to sea to seek bad luck against the Japanese pirates. After returning from a young age, Feng Ji took out another imperial edict and handed it to him. Zhu Houzhao only told him to deal with the Japanese pirates as soon as possible and fully supported him in training the navy. The power of the southeastern coastal waters was handed over to him. The Xu family will cooperate with him.
The emperor's trust was the greatest motivation for his ministers. Qi Jingtong knelt down to the capital to express his gratitude.
Three days later, the rich ship, followed by hundreds of ships of all sizes, braved the wind and waves and sailed along the route of Zheng He's chart. After this trip, I don't know how long it will take to return. The two princes once again made a big move. Crying, Feng Ji's face was full of expectation and excitement. A great future was already beckoning to him. Liu Jin's promise was nothing, and the emperor's golden eloquence was worth fighting for.
A hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty's Invincible Fleet set sail again.
