The darkness gradually faded away, and in the far east, a gleam of light appeared between the sea and the sky, like a bright flame burning, as if the sea was boiling.
A man with a beard and a rusty armor was leaning on the railing of the boat, looking towards the rising sun.
His eyes were deep, hiding indescribable sadness.
Seagulls flew around the hull from time to time, but this slovenly and unkempt man showed no interest in them.
A "man" with fairly delicate skin, no beard and wearing coarse clothes walked towards the weirdo.
"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"
The strange man turned his head and looked at the man, then grinned: "I miss you Eunuch Cao. I don't know where Eunuch Cao is now."
This strange man with a beard is none other than Zhu Yi, the eldest son of Chengguo Gong.
And this man with fairly delicate skin is Pu Ning'er, Xu Youzhen's uncle.
"Yes, it's been four months since we were separated, hey..." Pu Ning'er sighed and said.
Zhu Yi patted the armor on his body and said nonchalantly: "Don't be afraid, we will catch up with Eunuch Cao sooner or later. Even if we can't catch up, Eunuch Park doesn't have to be afraid. As long as I am here, I will definitely take you back to the Ming Dynasty." "
Pu Ning'er nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Young Master, Tie Hui asked me to call you. The strongest white bear in the cabin, the blind man, probably won't be able to do it either."
"What, it won't work either." When Zhu Yi heard this, she was shocked and hurried to the cabin.
In an iron cage, a bear with white hair was lying listlessly inside. There were several unknown sea fish beside it, which were food for the bear.
Zhu Yi felt heartbroken when he saw it. He took a wooden stick from the man beside him, then put the wooden stick into the iron cage and hit the strong white bear several times.
In the past, when Zhu Yi was bored, all he had to do was poke the white bear, and the white bear would become furious. It kept roaring at Zhu Yi in the cage, wishing to kill Zhu Yi with a bear paw, but this time Zhu Yi did it so many times, the white bear But there was no reaction.
Could it be that none of the auspicious bears he captured from that magical ice continent could be brought back to the Ming Dynasty?
He was fine yesterday.
Zhu Yi glanced at Li Tiechui beside him. This guy looked more like a savage than Zhu Yi. At this time, there were dozens of Ming Fujian Navy soldiers in the cabin who had long lost their true colors.
Everyone looked sad.
All the white bears that had been with them for more than three months died.
Zhu Yi whispered with tears in her eyes: "You can't die..."
"Can't die..."
"If you die, the white bear meat will go bad if we don't finish it. If you hold on for a few more days, you will be dead after we finish eating the bear meat..."
After everyone listened, they all lowered their heads, looking very sad.
"Little father-in-law, this white bear was fine just now. I got him some fish, but he didn't want to eat them. So I called my brothers to come over and call him a ghost. Once winter comes, I can't call him a ghost. It works, but it's useless. Don't worry about eating it all. Let's make it into dried meat. It will definitely be delicious."
"Li Tiechui, you idiot, it's best to make bacon. Young Master, listen to me, it's absolutely right." A soldier from the Land of Abundance obviously disagreed with Li Tiechui's suggestion and directly retorted.
"Hey, you little guy, do you want to practice?"
"Practice, practice, practice, am I a soldier still afraid of you, a boatman..."
As he said this, the soldier came forward. Li Tiechui was not afraid. He would grab each other by their collars and push each other.
Zhu Yi shouted: "If you don't, stop it. Just listen to me. Make half of it into bacon and half into dried meat. Before you die, just bleed it."
After saying this, Zhu Yi turned around and walked out of the cabin.
Because the people on the fleet came from all over the world and chatted often, their native languages became nondescript.
Li Tiechui from Yingtian Mansion would also speak Fujian dialect when he was in a hurry, Zhu Yi would also speak some Nanjing dialect from time to time, and the soldiers in Fujian would also speak Sichuan dialect...
A storm at sea caused Zhu Yi's ship to lose contact with the large fleet. There was only one experienced staff member on board, but he was very old. He died not long after they were separated. Before he died, he took Zhu Yi with him. Yi's hand said that as long as you head in the direction of the rising sun, there will be nothing wrong and you will be able to find Eunuch Cao.
And this lonely ship has been heading in the direction of the rising sun.
But no one was watching, and the helmsman seemed unqualified. They headed east during the day, lost direction at night, and headed north. After walking for more than a month, they arrived at a magical place.
It was a world without night and all ice.
Zhu Yi's curiosity greatly increased, so she took more than 30 soldiers on a small boat to board this ice and snow world.
The first time I went up, I almost couldn't get down because the weather there was so cold that if I stopped for a while, I might freeze.
Three hours later, he came back with a little white bear in his arms.
Zhu Yi had seen the blind bear before, but he had never seen the white bear.
He thought it was auspicious, and if he returned to the capital and presented it to His Majesty, Your Majesty would be happy. So, he went back and forth three times and brought back two white bears.
Then, they set off.
The little white bear left its mother without eating or drinking, and died after not being able to hold on for two days.
This made Zhu Yi very angry, and she decided to take his parents with him when he caught the little white bear, and the whole family was reunited.
In this way, this lonely ship returned after two days of departure.
They prepared firearms, bows and arrows, put on heavy armor, took a boat, and boarded this magical place.
This time they went head-to-head and hovered in the magical place for more than a month. At the cost of the lives of two brothers, they brought three or four litters of white bears, eight or nine little bears and four big bears.
The dead brother did not fall on the ground fighting the white bear, but froze to death...
Those iron cages were originally meant to hold sheep, but within less than a month of the trip, everyone had finished eating the sheep, so they could just be used to hold the white bears.
Now the last bear is dead, which makes Zhu Yi very sad.
He was captured at the risk of his life, and now he is about to turn into organic compounds...
…………
Liaoping City.
Hundreds of thousands of Korean civilians, thousands of Han craftsmen, and 50,000 Jurchens worked day and night to finally build this city from scratch, from beginning to take shape to gradually becoming grander.
Standing on the city wall, you can see Changbai Mountain, the sacred mountain of the Jurchen people.
After the construction of the city was completed, Shi Heng moved his residence here from Anping County.
The Deputy General Military Mansion of Anping County was guarded by Shi Biao.
At this time, outside the city.
Wuyang Marquis, Shi Heng, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Army, led thousands of soldiers to form an array outside the city, and a chilling atmosphere came towards them.
On both sides of the city wall when entering the city, there were Jurchens and Koreans who had migrated from the southern part of Liaoping Prefecture and Anping County.
Under the foundation of this city, there are countless remains of Jurchens and Koreans buried.
The Jurchens were afraid of being killed.
The brutal bloodlust in their eyes had disappeared, replaced by cowardice and fear.
They were already afraid to the core of their bones for the Ming army.
The braids of these Jurchens were cut off, and they began to tie up their hair like the Ming army.
Nor was it a military regime initiated by Shi Heng.
But the soldiers of the Ming army were very interested in their braids. At first, they often pulled their braids and beat them. This frightened the Jurchens, so they spontaneously cut off the braids on their heads and began to learn Han hairstyles.
In order to welcome Zhu Ji into the city, Shi Heng mobilized all the nearby Jurchens. He also wanted Zhu Ji to see his achievements in Liaodong over the past few years. If the commander of the Jinyi Guards saw it, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty also saw it?
A group of cavalry came from the direction of the inland sea.
It was Zhu Ji, the commander of Jinyiwei after landing.
Behind him were hundreds of imperial guards, and hundreds of cavalry from the guerrilla general Deng Xian's headquarters who went to meet him.
The commander of the Jinyi Guards and Yu Qian's son-in-law, Shi Heng didn't dare to make any excuses.
Zhu Ji came on horseback.
Shi Heng also hurriedly rode forward to greet him.
"Commander Zhu, it's been a hard journey." Shi Heng said with his hands in hand.
"Marquis Wu Yang fights for the country, which is hard work."
"Enter the city, Commander Zhu invites you."
"Wu Yang is waiting for you."
Shi Heng and Shi Biao recruited troops, and Zhu Ji acted as a hidden stake to separate the two parts. This was also Zhu Jianshen's careful plan.
The longer Zhu Jianshen stayed in the emperor's position, the more cautious he became.
Zhu Ji rode a horse and rode side by side with Shi Heng.
The soldiers, who had been baptized by the battlefield, attracted Zhu Ji's attention.
He is a warrior, not a military commander, but that does not mean that Zhu Ji does not want to become a military commander. Although the Jinyiwei headquarters is a team with a lot of brains, and there are many masters in it, Zhu Ji knows that a thousand Jinyiwei are not as good as Shi Heng, a thousand soldiers. , if there was a duel, their Jin Yiwei would lose without even having their pants on.
Zhu Ji glanced at Shi Heng and said slowly: "Wu Yanghou's soldiers are indeed brave."
When Shi Heng heard this, his face stiffened and he became nervous. M.biQuge.biZ
Why did the leader of the Jinyiwei spy give him such a big label when he came up? Could it be that someone in the court wanted to attack him.
"Commander Zhu, these are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty's soldiers, how can you say they are mine." Shi Heng replied quickly.
Zhu Ji laughed loudly after hearing this: "Marquis Wu Yang, I will put the seal on your hand. These soldiers are not yours. Don't be nervous. I have no other intentions."
Shi Heng glanced at Zhu Ji and felt a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, the generals leading the troops were greedy for money, lustful, and cruel, which would be fatal to them. What was fatal was arrogance and unclear positioning of themselves. Just like what Zhu Ji said, if he accepts it calmly, then Zhu Ji will definitely tell His Majesty his reaction after he goes back. This will be more deadly than killing many people and robbing many things.
Although he was dissatisfied, Shi Heng still grinned and said: "Commander Zhu, what you said is wrong. You will have to punish yourself with three cups of wine later. Otherwise, Lao Shi will have to write a memorial to His Majesty next time." Bring this matter up and say that Commander Zhu came from Beijing and made a deadly joke on me as soon as we met."
After Zhu Ji heard this, he waved his hand and said, "But, I won't go home until I'm drunk today."
After saying this, Zhu Ji was attracted by the Jurchen people at the city gate.
These Jurchens should have been carefully tidied up.
The hair was neatly washed and tied together, but there was less hair in the front and more hair in the back, which made it look weird.
The clothes have also transformed into Han clothes, which look a bit nondescript, but still clean.
But what attracted Zhu Ji was not the nondescript clothes or the weird hair, but their eyes.
Their eyes were dull, numb, without any light.
This should be caused by long-term bloody suppression.
The person who caused them to look like this was Shi Heng beside them.
Zhu Ji's brief expression of shock was caught by Shi Heng on the side, and he was very satisfied with the effect...
