Xu Miaojin was indeed angry.
Women mature earlier than men, and there are many women who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen at this time. And as she gets older, Xu Miaojin becomes more aware of her own feelings.
Now that I see Zhu Yunxuan actually appearing in the brothel, I can't help but feel angry.
But before Zhu Yunzhen could explain.
But she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Although Zhu Yunzhen grew up very quickly, his mind was not that of a seven or eight-year-old child.
But no matter what, he is powerless at this time!
There is no need to worry too much.
If you really care, you will be in trouble, and you are completely worrying too much.
But this Jiang Wei... actually dared to take His Highness to visit a brothel. Xu Miaojin silently marked him in his heart and must punish him severely!
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Zhu Yunxi would develop the habit of visiting brothels.
His Majesty the Great Grandson, the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, came to visit a brothel, how could he behave like this?
Zhu Yunzhen was also unspeakably guilty.
He quickly made up for himself and expressed his plan to generate income for the Ming Dynasty while arranging for foreign women.
Ming Dynasty will have an arduous task in the next few decades.
That is to increase the population!
The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, but only had a population of 70 million, which was really too small.
It is difficult to fully utilize such a population within the Ming Dynasty, let alone develop overseas, so we can only try every means to increase the labor force.
Only then can Ming Dynasty be more prosperous.
But...Zhu Yunxuan didn't know whether Xu Miaojin believed what he said.
Look at Xu Miaojin looking at herself with a smile.
Zhu Yunzhen is in chaos!
"It's bad... I won't really fall in love with this girl, right?"
Zhu Yunzhen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He is not mentally prepared for this yet!
…
Three days later.
After some interludes, Zhu Yunzhen finally waited until the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty led by Zheng He returned.
That was a fleet of treasure ships one after another!
The treasure ship that sailed on the river like a behemoth attracted countless people from the capital to watch, and they all praised the might of the Ming Navy.
unbeatable!
I have a little more understanding of the strength of the Ming Navy.
I also have more confidence.
All this time, they had only heard that the Ming Dynasty's navy was extremely powerful, but they never expected that the Ming Dynasty's navy was so powerful.
Especially after it is equipped with an invincible general cannon, it is capable of both offense and defense.
In terms of hull sturdiness, hull size, and sailing speed, the Ming Navy ranks first in the world today.
In terms of artillery range, rate of fire, and firepower, it is the best in the world today!
It can be said that today's Ming Navy is truly invincible! If it hadn't been for some accidents, the Japanese country would have been at your fingertips!
At this time, the people of the capital and the officials in the court understood why Zhu Yunxuan insisted on developing overseas.
With such a navy, wouldn't it be a waste of Ming Dynasty's advantage if we didn't conquer the world?
In particular, Zhu Yunxuan knew that the Ming Dynasty's navy could still be said to be the best in the world, but in a few hundred years it would be quickly overtaken...
If you don't seize this period of time, continue to innovate technology and continue to explore outwards.
Ming Dynasty will fall behind!
And falling behind means being beaten!
There is an old saying: Although our country is big, if we like war, we will perish; although the world is safe, if we forget to fight, we will be in danger.
In the words of Zhu Yunxuan in his previous life, "Not having a sword in your hand is not the same thing as having a sword in your hand and not using it." You must grasp the core technical advantage in your own hands!
Only in this way can we take the initiative!
Instead of passively following the pace of others, giving others the upper hand!
That's why Zhu Yunxuan attaches great importance to the navy.
And this time, when Zheng He returned, Zhu Yunxuan went out of his way to greet him and came to the pier to wait for Zheng He's return!
This shows his importance.
During these days in prison, Zhu Yunxu really learned a lot.
Just like today, Zhu Yunxuan went out of his way to welcome Zheng He, which was to release political signals invisibly and express his importance.
Naturally, the ministers and officials could clearly see Zhu Yunzhen's will.
In the future, I will pay more attention to everything overseas.
But if Zhu Yunxu did not take such actions and only praised him verbally, the officials would not be able to intuitively feel Zhu Yunxu's attention.
The subordinates must learn to guess the thoughts of the superiors.
But those in higher positions must learn to deliberately let those in lower positions guess your thoughts!
pier.
Zheng He's treasure ship docked.
On the ship, a familiar figure quickly climbed down the ladder and went straight to Zhu Yunzhen, who was waiting at the dock.
Three steps followed by two steps, a big stride.
"My lord, Zheng He! Meet His Highness the Grand Sun!"
"I betrayed His Highness's trust and took so long to conquer Japan. My crime is unforgivable! Please forgive me for your incompetence in doing things!"
Zheng He walked up to Zhu Yunzhen.
He knelt down and bowed his head, crying bitterly, feeling very sorry for himself.
This expedition to the Japanese country was thought to be a sure thing. With the strength of the treasure ship and the power of the artillery, it was easy to deal with a divided Japanese country.
Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns.
It's been delayed for months! His Highness has been disappointed and worried for a long time!
Zheng He really blamed himself.
This feeling made Zheng He toss and turn and sleepless nights countless times.
Especially during the days when they were besieged by the Japanese.
Zheng He thought about committing suicide more than once, but thinking of His Highness's trust and kindness to him, he could not leave the Ming Dynasty's only naval seed alone.
Only then did I persevere.
In the end, the Japanese country was defeated and the mission was successfully completed.
At this time, it was not surprising to see Zhu Yunzhen losing control of his emotions.
"Haha, what are you guilty of?" Zhu Yunxuan smiled and helped Zheng He up, saying, "Not doing things well? Look at the things you have sent back these days. These supplies have given Ming Dynasty a big sigh of relief!"
"Besides, it's not your problem this time."
"No wonder you didn't win half a cent, but you captured the Japanese country, captured the Japanese god emperor alive, occupied Iwami Yinshan, and opened the Japanese market. Which of these is not a great achievement?"
"Whoever says you are guilty is the one who is truly guilty!"
Zhu Yunxuan seemed to be talking to Zheng He.
In fact, he was telling these words to the ministers and officials behind him, so that they would give up the idea of seclusion as soon as possible.
At the same time, it also made everyone understand how much Zhu Yunzhen valued Zheng He!
When Zheng He heard that Zhu Yunzhen believed in him so much, he couldn't help but shed tears and choked up: "Your Highness...I swear to death! I have just lost the respect of Your Highness!"
"Even if His Highness asks me to jump into the sea now, I won't hesitate at all!"
"I miss you, Zheng He, but I am just an eunuch... If His Highness didn't value me, how could I be here today?"
Zheng He was deeply moved.
Zhu Yunzhen patted Zheng He on the shoulder and said, "Don't underestimate yourself so much."
"You are a person of great merit to me, Da Ming! You are also a talented person that I cannot live without!"
"In the future, Gu will send you to farther and wider oceans to explore and conquer all oceans!"
"And it all depends on you."
After Zheng He heard this, he was even more moved and didn't know what to say.
He just looked at Zhu Yunzhen with red eyes and a grateful look on his face, showing a perseverance.
From the looks of it, even if Zhu Yunzhen asked him to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire, he wouldn't hesitate for even half a second!
After talking to Zheng He, Zhu Yunzhen changed direction again.
He said to the ministers and officials behind him: "You also need to remember that the future of the Ming Dynasty is not only within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also outside the four seas, in the endless and vast world!"
"My Ming Dynasty wants to conquer more than just the land in front of me!"
"But every inch of land in the world! Every inch of it is stained with the flag and mark of my Ming Dynasty!"
"Zheng He! He is the first person to spread my great power all over the world!"
"I am hereby named Marquis of the East China Sea! I will reward you with thousands of pieces of silk and satin, ten thousand cattle and sheep, and millions of gold and silver!"
"If someone can make a contribution to Zheng He in the future, I will not hesitate to reward him!"
Marquis? The officials were shocked! It’s such a great reward!
At this time, all the ministers and officials saw Zhu Yunxuan's determination. The future of the Ming Dynasty really lies at sea!
And the future of these ministers lies at sea!
Suddenly, the ambitions of countless courtiers began to grow! He, Zheng He, was just an eunuch, and he could get such a reward by going to Japan to conquer Japan. Why couldn't he himself?
This is what is said about buying horse bones with a thousand pieces of gold!
Zhu Yunxuan can afford this price! And all the ministers and officials were willing to be attracted by this generous reward!
But just when the ministers and officials were excited.
An unexpected figure suddenly appeared and walked to Zheng He's side. It turned out to be Xu Huizu!
When the ministers and officials saw Xu Huizu, they were shocked.
They naturally knew that this guy had already angered His Highness Taisun and was dismissed from his post when he and Taisun disagreed about the navy.
Logically speaking, he is not qualified to appear here!
But today, Xu Huizu appeared here. What was he going to do? Are you still dissatisfied with Zheng He and want to continue to oppose His Highness Taisun? !
Zhu Yunzhen also looked at Xu Huizu in surprise.
His eyes were dissatisfied, but he did not attack, but waited to see what this guy wanted to do.
Behind Zhu Yunzhen, Xu Miaojin looked at Xu Huizu nervously.
After all, Xu Huizu was also her eldest brother, and Xu Miaojin didn't want her eldest brother to go against her grandson.
If a rift really arises and she is caught between the Xu family and Zhu Yunzhen, how will she deal with it?
Moreover... Zhu Yunxuan is the grandson! The Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty! The future Emperor of Ming Dynasty!
Wouldn't opposing Zhu Yunxu be asking for death?
It is also extremely detrimental to the Xu family!
No matter which aspect he considered, Xu Miaojin couldn't help but hold his breath and looked at Xu Huizu with fear, fearing that he would say something treasonous and unethical.
But no one thought of it.
Xu Huizu actually stood in front of Zheng He, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "I, Xu Huizu, were confused for a moment and blocked the letter from the Marquis of Donghai asking for help from the court. I have committed an unforgivable crime and have been dismissed from the post of Minister of Military Affairs by His Highness."
"Seeing the majestic navy of the Ming Dynasty today, I understand how hard your highness has worked!"
"From today on, I, Xu Huizu, am willing to serve as a small soldier in the Ming Dynasty navy! Fight all over the world for the Ming Dynasty! I also ask the Marquis of Donghai to take you in!"
No one expected that Xu Huizu suddenly appeared.
It turned out to be to join the Ming Navy and become a soldier!
You know, even if Xu Huizu was removed from his position in the court, he was still the Duke of Wei! The powerful among the powerful!
But now he is willing to be a small soldier!
It’s simply jaw-dropping! I don’t know what to say!
Zhu Yunxuan was also shocked by Xu Huizu's consciousness. He did not expect that Xu Huizu, who had been against him before, would actually have such a consciousness!
"good!"
Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help laughing and said, "It's great that you can have such awareness!"
He immediately said: "From today on, I will make you a soldier in the Ming Navy, starting from the bottom!"
"The glory, wealth, high officials and power of the past are all in the past and disappeared."
"Start again! Gu is optimistic about you and will become the second naval general of my Ming Dynasty! You must not let Gu down!"
Zhu Yunxuan was overjoyed. He was already worried about the Ming Dynasty's naval generals.
He never had to worry about it on land. With people like Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde here, with so many talents and generals gathered, the Ming army would definitely be invincible.
But at sea, except Zheng He.
Zhu Yunzhen really can't find anyone he can trust! But now, since Xu Huizu has taken the initiative to join the army, he can start from a young soldier, learn about the navy, and train him to become the next naval admiral who can take charge of his own affairs!
"Hahaha, today is truly a double blessing!"
Zhu Yunxuan said cheerfully: "Follow me back to the palace. I'm going to have a big banquet today!"
"Have a great celebration!"
Zheng He returns, Xu Huizu becomes enlightened and fills the gap of admiral in the navy. There is nothing better than this!
