Chapter 354: It’s just an official ship and an official trade, I don’t dare to claim to go to the West again
Zhu Yijun kicked the landlubber hard, and a big tail followed behind and flew behind. In this big tail was a red-robed eunuch and a red-helmeted general. , Han generals and Tiqi, the speed of this big tail is very consistent with Zhu Yijun's speed of kicking landlubbers. The Tiqi who have received professional training can always keep up with the emperor's footsteps at the first time.
Zhu Yijun's car roared through Kunning Palace, turned in front of the Qianqing Palace, and went to Cining Palace. Empress Dowager Li had heard that the emperor wanted to test drive the Yuwu, and had been waiting in front of the door to see Reaching the emperor's figure, Queen Mother Li showed a reassuring smile.
She loves her own children. It’s not that she doesn’t dote on her eldest son, but as the eldest son is the heir to the empire, Queen Mother Li knows that she can’t dote on him too much.
Empress Dowager Li is very clear about the principle that a loving mother often loses her child, but it is not what Empress Dowager Li wants to see when her child turns into a cold stone.
As the affairs of the country gradually improved, his son finally became more and more like a human being, with his own joys and sorrows, his own likes and dislikes, and then he lived like a human being.
Zhu Yijun lowered the handbrake and the car slowly stopped in front of the Cining Palace. Emperor Ming Dynasty still opened the car door with excitement on his face. Wang Yaozhuo was so frightened that his face turned pale. After all, he was It's the first time I've ridden in this kind of car, and it's the first time I've driven at such a fast speed.
When Wang Yaozhuo calmed down and got out of the car, the big tails behind Zhu Yijun finally caught up. A guard of honor quickly spread out, and several Tiqi raised the tiger with black characters on the red background. The first sign said avoidance and silence. The two maids opened the canopy and placed it behind His Majesty. The Ming Emperor's travels were all pomp and circumstance.
Feng Bao and Zhang Hong were holding their knees, panting from exhaustion. Although the Tiqiu were still very neat and tidy, they were also panting heavily. It can be seen that it was still a bit difficult to keep up with His Majesty's speed along the way. .
Zhu Yijun put his hands on his waist, turned three times to the left and three times to the right around his 'land duck', looked again and again, nodded with satisfaction again and said: "Feng Daban, please order the internal affairs department to make more There are some, and there are also more four-person carts, so I’ll follow them when traveling.”
"I thank you for your majesty's grace." Eunuchs, maids, and guards, you look at me, I look at you, and thank you again. This is really a great favor from the emperor. Your majesty plays by himself, and also brings others to play with him. Your Majesty is such a person, a gentleman who takes care of his servants. Your Majesty never makes things difficult for his servants, and he even takes care of them.
The formation of Zhu Yijun's habit is due to his own personality. Similarly, it is naturally related to the Renyin Palace Incident of Master Dao. Master Dao was pinned down in the palace by sixteen maids, and was strangled. , stabbing again, this is the lesson left by Master Tao. If you criticize your servants too much, the maids who serve you will collude with others and become assassins at some point.
“I’ve met my mother.” Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo saluted Empress Dowager Li.
"Your Majesty, come in quickly. It's time for dinner now. Let's have dinner in Cining Palace." The more Empress Dowager Li looked at this pair of golden boys and girls, the more she liked them. Wang Yaozhuo She was the daughter-in-law chosen by Empress Dowager Li herself. Except for the lack of movement in her belly, everything else was perfect. This is not Wang Yaozhuo's fault. It was the emperor's choice, but Empress Dowager Li could not control the emperor, so she had no choice but to find Wang Yaozhuo. of trouble.
The reason why Empress Dowager Li left the emperor to eat was because she had two things to say. The first one was the issue of the emperor’s heir. Whether it was a boy or a girl, your majesty had to first prove that he had the ability to have children. , the second thing is about the marriage of King Lu Zhu Yili. The eldest brother is like the father, so Queen Mother Li naturally has to discuss it with the emperor.
"Brother! The Mughal Kingdom sent seventy-two beauties. Since I don't need them, why not send them directly to my palace!" King Lu Zhu Yiliu knew clearly that the emperor's uncle Zhu Zai Yu is an indifferent person, and he is not overly enthusiastic or pursuing this matter. So with so many beauties, just give them to him!
Being idle is also idle!
A hand as fast as lightning suddenly grabbed Zhu Yili's ear, and then twisted it violently. Empress Dowager Li said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about! Those are all nonsense. If you keep talking nonsense, How can I ask for these extra Hu Ji!"
"It hurts! It hurts!" Zhu Yixi stood on tiptoe and pinched his ears. His face turned red and white. pain.
This is not surprising. In the hands of the current Ming Dynasty, Yi Di is not even a humanoid creature. Just like the son of later generations who said he wanted to marry a cow as his wife, Empress Dowager Li, a mother, is not angry. Strange!
Zhu Yijun looked happy, but he did not dissuade him and allowed Empress Dowager Li to teach his son.
In a cheerful atmosphere, Zhu Yijun stepped on the pedal car back to the palace and pedaled his land duck back to Xiyuan.
The term "governor" first appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but there were not a large number of appointments in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It was not until the Yongle period when Zhu Di, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sent 22 governors headed by Hu Hui to inspect the world, that it was considered effective. He became the permanent governor. Of course, this move was believed to be that Zhu Di wanted to find Zhu Yunwen who was living among the people.
In the third year of his stay in Jingtai, Geng Jiuchou was patrolling Shaanxi as the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment. At that time, he had many political disputes with the local Chief Secretary and the Inspectorate. Xu Zi, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, reported that the governor's powers were not clear. , requesting the imperial court to confirm the governor's official title and status.
Finally, Emperor Jingtai decreed that all governors who serve as local governors will be appointed as ministers of the third rank, and then they will be promoted to the position of governor of the capital, that is, deputy censor of Youdu, who will be appointed as governors by ministers and ministers. Duxian is in order to act.
From then on, the governor of the Ming Dynasty had a triple identity. He was appointed by the six ministers, including the minister, and the general constitution of the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In addition, because the governor often also served as the admiral in charge of military affairs, the governor He is not only the official in the capital, but also the highest military officer in the local area, and the official in the frontier who has exclusive power over the local military, government and supervision.
Ling Yunyi is naturally very busy when he returns to Beijing. In addition to meeting with Zhu Zhengzheng, Ling Yunyi also needs to meet with the Ming Gongs of the Six Ministries and persuade them to support them, so as to ensure that this visit to Beijing is worthwhile. During this trip, his hopes will not come true. On the other hand, Ling Yunyi also has to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pay homage to the dock and meet his former classmates and fellow villagers.
So busy, it was not until the beginning of March that Ling Yunyi finally had some free time. He came to the Zhejiang Guild Hall with large and small bags. He wanted to meet Tan Lun, the leader of the Zhejiang Party.
Tan Lun entertained Ling Yunyi warmly, and even went to Yanxing Tower to reserve a seat, which seemed particularly grand.
After three rounds of wine, five kinds of dishes, and a warm atmosphere, Tan Lun looked at Ling Yunyi, and became more and more satisfied. He turned sideways and said: "Ling Butang, there is something going on in Shandong, so I will go back. Come on, Jing, I’m getting older now, and I don’t care enough about the affairs of the ministry.”
Tan Lun hoped that Ling Yunyi could return to the capital and share some of the affairs of the Ministry of War, because Ling Yunyi himself was also the Minister of the Ministry of War and had military achievements in pacifying Luopang Mountain.
Zeng Xingwu said with a smile: "Don't think too much about Lingbutang. I have little talent and little knowledge, and it is difficult for me to hold a big position."
Zeng Xingwu is not that it is difficult for him to hold a big position, but that he is not suitable for the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. The relationship with Zhang Juzheng is too close. If he becomes Minister of the Ministry of War again, it will easily cause imbalance in the court.
At present, the Jin Party and the Zhang Party are in a state of balance in the court. Tan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is very critical. This is a powerful department. If it also falls into Zhang Juzheng's pocket, His Majesty Don’t think too much, the courtiers should also think too much.
Ling Yunyi would not. Since the Yanzhou Confucius case, Ling Yunyi's Zhang Party has gradually faded away on the political spectrum and has gradually become an imperial party.
"Hey, this can't be done. I have already told His Majesty that after the situation in Shandong is stabilized, I will take the guest soldiers to the Nagasaki Governor's Mansion. This is something that has been agreed upon a long time ago. Thanks to Sima Kindness, I really have no intention of doing this." Ling Yunyi immediately expressed his rejection and indicated his whereabouts. This was not polite, but a clear rejection.
Ling Yunyi knew in his heart that with such a reputation, if he returned to Jingtang, there would only be one result, that is, the dragon would be trapped in the shallows and nothing could be done. Jingtang was a besieged city, and people outside were desperately trying to Coming in, the people inside knew how deep the water was.
When he was the governor of Yunyang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong and Guangxi, he determined his ambition. He was so prolific in killing people that he had long given up the idea of returning to Beijing to be a Ming Gong, especially in Shandong. After being appointed to the Yanzhou Confucius Mansion, Ling Yunyi knew that a person like him would be out of place in the capital.
"If Ling Butang has any concerns, I can pave the way for Ling Butang." Tan Lun thought about it, but still didn't want to give up.
Ling Yunyi leaned back on the chair, thought for a moment and still shook his head and said: "I'm afraid of causing trouble to Your Majesty. When the time comes, I will poke a hole in the sky. Will Your Majesty protect me or not? Let's forget it. ”
Ling Yunyi knew that he had character flaws, so he didn't go to the capital to suffer such grievances. He was afraid that he would kill someone in the Wenhua Palace.
Tan Lun was extremely regretful. Of course he knew about His Majesty's arrangement, but he didn't expect that Ling Yunyi had already accepted this arrangement and showed an attitude of being happy to go. This made Tan Lun a little helpless. , there are not many candidates for the position of Minister of War.
When Li Rusong came to the capital from Liaodong to participate in the selection of generals in the capital camp, when he saw Tan Lun, he immediately said that the capital camp was under the control of civil servants, like slaves, and he didn't need to be treated. This was Li Rusong's attitude, and he was actually a part of the martial arts. The idea is that civil servants who have no power to restrain the chicken, why should they control the military attachés?
For the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, if you want to be a Jinshi, you must be a Jinshi who can fight.
Yin Zhengmao is one, Ling Yunyi is another, Zeng Shengwu is another, and there is no suitable person.
"What a pity." Tan Lun toasted Ling Yunyi with a drink and poured it into the Confucius House. It was a great pleasure. If Ling Yunyi dared to do it, he would not be afraid of eternal infamy.
Ling Yunyi drank it all in one gulp, with a slightly strange look on his face, and whispered: "Did Sima drink water?"
"The great medical officers are not allowed to drink alcohol." Tan Lunyi Hearing this, his face turned red with anger. He looked at the two senior medical officers standing next to him and was furious. He was fighting with the Japanese pirates in the military formation, facing each other with sharp weapons, without even blinking. A man in the army has to be under the supervision of this great medical officer even if he drinks a glass of wine.
Tan Lun can take care of these two great medical officers with one hand, but these two great medical officers will go to His Majesty to complain!
It is simply intolerable!
Ling Yunyi raised his eyebrows, glanced at the two senior medical officers, and became even more convinced that it was better not to return to Beijing. He also had a lot of problems, and being restrained like this, it would be better to die in Luopang Mountain!
"Why is it so noisy downstairs?" Ling Yunyi heard the commotion downstairs and asked strangely, this is Yanxing Tower, the No. 1 restaurant in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Why are there still people waiting to cause trouble?
Zeng Shengwu stood up, looked down at the railing, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, the rich people who migrated from Xitucheng are fighting against the rich and young people from the capital. This is probably another fight. When they got angry, these wealthy people who moved in made the capital uneasy. Yao Guangqi and Wang Qian quarreled again because of a prostitute. "
"Is it the Yao Guangqi who spreads money around to win people's hearts? "Ling Yun. In the half month since Yi arrived in Beijing, he has heard the name Yao Guangqi many times.
There are now three rich young men in the capital of the Ming Dynasty: Wang Qian of the Wang family of Puzhou, Yao Guangqi of the Yao family of Wuxing, and Shah Maimaiti, the special envoy of the Mughal Kingdom. The characteristic of these three people is that they spread money everywhere, and the other two Differently, Shah Maimaiti was just happy and not trying to win people's hearts.
Zeng Shengwu said with conviction: "Well, that's him."
Ling Yunyi and Tan Lun chatted for a long time about the garrison of the Mizhou Ship Division. The others were completely convinced, so they The Secretary of the Ministry of War was sent. According to Ling Yunyi's guess, Tan Lun should be very persuasive. This was also the case. Before Ling Yunyi could speak, Tan Lun took the initiative to talk about the naval affairs of the Mizhou Ship Division. He secretly cut off the pirates. The fishermen have no tolerance for kelp!
As Ling Yunyi and Tan Lun walked, they talked about the various evil deeds of the pirates, stealing kelp, stealing fish cages, robbing people's fishing boats, robbing people of winter food, burning, killing and looting, etc.
“Bang.” A figure suddenly stood at Ling Yunyi’s feet.
The waiter who was soliciting customers in front of Yanxinglou was thrown here. It is obvious that the waiter was innocent.
The moment the man fell to the ground, the lieutenants from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, who were responsible for patrolling, surrounded him.
Ling Yunyi squatted on the ground, checked Xiaoer's breathing, and then stretched out his hand to carefully cut Xiaoer's pulse. After confirming that Xiaoer was not injured, he helped Xiaoer up from the ground. Ling Yunyi He has been in the military for a long time and can be regarded as half a doctor.
"At the emperor's feet?" Ling Yunyi looked at Tan Lun with slight confusion.
Tan Lun's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Arrest them!" The captain of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division originally thought that it was nothing serious and was about to disperse. After taking a closer look, he immediately recognized He Xu The man, without saying a word, pinned down Yao Guangqi and the others!
The ones who hurt people were Yao Guangqi’s servants. These servants did not resist at all. The captain of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division arrested them. If they resisted, they would be punished with a third-class penalty. It can be done for trivial matters. It became a major event that shook the world.
"Do you know who I am?! You dare to arrest me? If you arrest me, you won't be able to reap the benefits!" Yao Guangqi struggled for a few times and found that the captains who usually called him brothers and sisters did not give him anything. He has no face at all, but his expression makes him want to eat him alive!
"Have you ever seen Da Sima, Da Sima come over for dinner? I don't know Da Sima in person, Da Sima Haihan!" Xu Youzhi, deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, went to see the ceremony with a smile on his face.
Xu Youzhi is the cousin of the Prince Consort Xu Congcheng. After Xu Congcheng admired Princess Jiashan, the daughter of Emperor Jiajing, he followed the chickens and dogs to heaven and became the deputy commander of the Five-City Army and Horse Department in Xicheng. Every New Year, Xu Youzhi would follow Xu Congcheng to the Ministry of War. Shangshu Tan Lun paid a visit to him at his house because the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities was under the management of the Ministry of War.
Tan Lun is their immediate boss.
Tan Lun rolled up his sleeves and said, "What are you doing here without eating? You won't be clean even after eating! This man maliciously hurts others. He should be brought to the Ministry of Justice to go to court!"
"The last general takes orders!" Xu Youzhi stood up straight, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Take them all away!"
This case itself is a small case, the kind of small case where the people do not investigate and the officials do not investigate, the clerk of Yanxing Tower , How dare you offend people like Yao Guangqi? You would never dare to report to the official after suffering the loss of being mute. But the worst thing about this matter is that it appeared in front of Da Sima and the governor of Shandong.
Some things, if they are not weighed, can only weigh four or two, but if they are weighed, they cannot be beaten by a thousand pounds.
"Da Sima?!" Yao Guangqi was so dumbfounded that he repeated it blankly, his eyes becoming dull.
Wang Qian's eyes became sinister. He had a father who was a minister of the Ministry of Justice. If Yao Guangqi fell into his hands, then this matter would not be good!
Soon, the case became more and more serious, and even went before the emperor.
On the seventh day of March in the seventh year of Wanli, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty formally summoned Ling Yunyi, the governor of Shandong, in the Wenhua Palace. Ling Yunyi had almost done everything and was planning to leave. Zhu Yijun formally announced the meeting and announced the decree. Confirming the garrison of the Naval Division in Mizhou City is also considered a farewell.
With this departure, Ling Yunyi will not come to Beijing again to report on his duties until three years later.
"Isn't the case of Yao Guangqi's malicious wounding very difficult?" After Ling Yunyi received the order, he talked about the case he had witnessed with his own eyes. The victim of this case refused to pursue the case. The idea of doing more is worse than doing less. Wuxing Yao was not short of money. After paying a large settlement fee, the clerk of Yanxing House went to Shuntianfu Yamen to close the case.
"If we pursue the case, the person involved will not care about it and appear to be resorting to violence. If we do not pursue it, the matter will have already been heard by heaven. If we do not deal with it, where is the law? Where is the majesty of the court?" Wang Chonggu heard Ling Yunyi's inquiry and talked about the tricky parts of the case.
Ling Yunyi thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, please hand Yao Guangqi over to me. I will keep him by your side as an aide and don't let him cause trouble in the capital."
" Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned, and then said with a smile: "What Ling Butang said is a good idea."
As for whether Yao Guangqi is willing? Ling Butang asked for someone by name, and Yao Guangqi had to be willing even if he didn't want to. Otherwise, the Yao family of Wuxing would not give Ling Butang face, and he was a dignified official in the border areas. If someone refutes his face like this, Ling Butang would be furious!
As for Yao Guangqi following Ling Yunyi, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on Yao Guangqi's own destiny.
"Okay, okay!" Tan Lun laughed directly. Yao Guangqi must be very honest when he works as an aide next to Ling Yunyi. Ling Yunyi can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Whenever Yao Guangqi makes a mistake, I'm afraid... Ling Yunyi was dealt with by military law.
"Then hand him over to Ling Butang!" Zhu Yijun took out Yao Guangqi's file. With a stroke of the pen in his hand, Yao Guangqi transformed into Ling Yunyi's secretary, that is, his staff.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Ling Yunyi thanked him again, then resigned and left.
Ling Yunyi dealt with a very difficult person. Yao Guangqi still has some abilities. He can compete with Wang Qian in the capital for so long and occasionally take advantage. He is not an easy person. Yao Guangqi does things well. , is really very measured, he never goes too far, and everything he does is stuck on the edge of legality. Naturally, the court cannot deal with it randomly, so Yao Guangqi is really troublesome.
This time, Yao Guangqi was taken away by Ling Yunyi.
Before Yao Guangqi could rejoice when he walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he saw a gentle man waiting in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Are you Yao Guangqi?" Ling Yunyi said very gently: "I am Ling Yunyi, the governor of Shandong. I believe you have heard of my name. Come with me. I asked His Majesty to recommend you to be me. Secretary, follow me in the future and do your best."
Yao Guangqi's eyes widened and he said even more dullly: "Is this Ling Butang?"
"It's Ling Yun. Wing's smile is still bright and sunny.
"Can I not go!" Yao Guangqi shuddered suddenly. The name Ling Yunyi seemed to be blood red. He suddenly took three steps back and said in horror: "Ling Bu "Tang! I have an old man and a young man, let me live..."
"Huh?" Ling Yunyi raised his eyebrows and expressed his doubts in a nasal voice.
"Go! I'm going! Ling Butang calm down!" Yao Guangqi felt a chill rising from his tailbone to the sky, as if he was falling into an ice cellar. He knew that one more sentence would make Ling Yunyi If you are angry, things will become extremely scary!
"Yes! Very good, let's go." Ling Yunyi smiled again, got in the car and drove towards Huitongguanyi. He was leaving Beijing today.
The news that Yao Guangqi was taken away by Ling Yunyi spread throughout the capital as if he had wings. The Yao family in Xitucheng immediately panicked. The Yao family did not dare to cause trouble to Ling Yunyi. , just wanted to send this plague god away as soon as possible, Yao thought for a long time and gave him two hundred taels of silver as travel expenses, thanking Ling Butang for his appreciation.
Yao Guangqi was regarded as an abandoned son and followed Ling Yunyi on the road.
At this time, in the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Yijun was meeting with the special envoy of the Mughal Kingdom, Shah Maimaiti. Five five-masted ocean-going ships were ready. Shah set sail for Songjiang Prefecture today. In addition to the five five-masted ocean-going ships, , and fifty three-masted plywood ships will accompany them to transport horses to the Mughal Kingdom.
“Your Majesty, the Supreme Monarch of the Four Directions and the Supreme Ming Emperor, the people of the Central Plains make a huge promise, and we Mongol people are also people who keep their word. These 20,000 war horses were said to be gifts, but they were not given to Your Majesty. The reason for paying again is that before leaving, Emperor Akbar told me many times that gaining His Majesty's friendship is an important task higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea." Shah Maimaiti reiterated the 20,000 horses. There is no need to pay.
He had promised before that as long as the Ming Emperor agreed to sell the ship, these war horses would be part of the price increase.
When doing business, we should pay attention to honesty.
"It seems that I have taken a huge advantage in our diplomatic relations with each other." Zhu Yijun thought that Shah Maimaiti said that, but in the end Shah Maimaiti actually came for real. Ming Dynasty only needed to Just let the boat sail over and bring the horse back.
Shah Maimaiti said with great conviction: "Your Majesty, my monarch has suffered great humiliation, but he has no means to avenge his shame. Taixi also refuses to sell ships, artillery, firearms, and gunpowder to If we think about this, His Majesty’s generosity is the cornerstone of the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Kingdom.”
Is it enough to have money? The red-haired fan rode on the face of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Even though Akbar had money, he couldn't buy weapons. He broke his teeth and had to swallow them in his stomach. Therefore, the relationship between the Mughal Empire and the Ming Dynasty , the Ming Dynasty did not lose, and the Mongol country gained blood.
“And your generous Majesty also gave us a thousand pieces of silk that were in short supply. I can no longer describe my gratitude in words.” Shah Maimaiti’s gratitude was very sincere. Yes, silk was in very short supply in the Ming Dynasty, and all the silk was given to the Western sailing ships in exchange for silver. Even the officials in the court wore cotton clothes and worsted woolen clothes instead of silk.
The country of silk has no need for silk, but it sold a thousand pieces of silk to the Shah Maimaiti. This is indeed generous. It shows that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really valued the Mughal Kingdom.
Zhu Yijun smiled again, didn’t you, Shah Maimaiti, increase the price too much?
The silk sold to Shah Maimaiti was also of four kinds: silk and satin. The profit for Taixi was twelve silver, while the average price of one silk for Shah Maimaiti was twelve silver, that is, the calculated profit was two Fourteen silver pieces each.
In the beginning, Wan Shihe wanted to directly contradict the emperor for some silk. Wang Guoguang even had a red-faced quarrel with Feng Bao at the Ministry of Household Affairs over whether the imperial court could buy it at a fair price. Silk was a matter of face, and officials of the Ming Dynasty Men, only the official uniforms of the Great Chaohui are made of silk.
It is actually difficult for Zhu Yijun to understand the almost crazy pursuit of silk in the Ming Dynasty, the Mughal Kingdom, and the West. He feels that clothes made of worsted wool and cotton are also very good, and it is not impossible to wear.
Shah Maimaiti solemnly thanked you again. Face is something that is given to each other. You give me face, you give me face. In this way, everyone has face, and the red-haired fans grab it first. Besides, you can only be honest and reasonable if you are beaten, but you will not gain face.
In a cheerful and friendly atmosphere, Zhu Yijun concluded his meeting with the special envoy of the Mughal Kingdom.
Shah Maimaiti left the Wenhua Hall. Zhu Yijun looked at Shah Maimaiti’s back and said with emotion: "Envoy Shah, you are so polite. Sir, please tell Songjiang ground Officials, do a good job in the handover. This official ship's voyage to the West is the most important thing this year. You must do it well. "
"I will obey the order." Zhang Juzheng led the Ming Dynasty courtiers to obey the orders.
“Does this count as another voyage to the West?” Hai Rui thought about it for a moment and then asked.
Wang Guoguang looked at Hai Rui, shook his head with certainty and said: "Official ships and official trade are not sailing to the West again."
"The last voyage to the West from the sixth year of Xuande to the ninth year of Xuande , was the smallest one. There were more than 200 Fu ships alone, nearly 2,000 horse ships, more than 10,000 large and small ships, and more than 30,000 Ming soldiers. This time there were only five five-masted ocean crossing ships and five Ten horse ships, more than 170 battleships, no more than 500 large and small ships, and a total of 3,000 troops, we cannot pretend to go to the Western Ocean again. "
This trip to the Mughal Kingdom is only of a certain scale. I dare not say that it is another voyage to the West.
Not worthy.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
