Zhu Gaoxu is gone,

I couldn't wait to rush to the Mingzhou Shipping Department.

During the prince's funeral, Zhu Gaoxu received news from Navy Admiral Wu Xuan.

He originally wanted to wait patiently until the prince's funeral was over, and then rush directly to Mingzhou to bring back the divine seed.

However, Yang Shiqi put forward a different opinion, or casually laid a trap for the grandson Zhu Zhanji.

After all, it was a divine seed, enough to change the political structure of the Ming Dynasty, and enough to completely help Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, win the title of heir apparent. How could his grandson Zhu Zhanji watch as Zhu Gaoxu brought back the divine seed so easily?

Facts have proved that this famous Sanyang Xianxiang in history has perfectly transformed into a calculating politician.

And his ability to calculate people's hearts puts even the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu to shame.

That's why Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, publicly pointed out the matter in the court, and then went to the Mingzhou Shipping Department in a hurry.

This seemed to give the great grandson Zhu Zhanji a chance to fight back, but in fact it dug a big hole for him, enough to make the great grandson completely defeated!

As for whether it is an opportunity or a big pit, it depends on what choice Zhu Zhanji makes.

Before leaving, Zhu Gaoxu had nothing to explain. He just called Yang Shiqi to explain a few words.

Because Zheng He brought back the divine seed, the eyes of the government and the public are now focused on this divine seed, but there is nothing noteworthy about it.

Similar to how Yang Pu became the leader of the Taisun Party, Yang Shiqi now seemed to have become the mainstay of the Hanwang Party.

With him, Yang Shiqi, in charge of the capital, it was enough to deal with the counterattack from Taisun and Taisun Party officials.

At least Zhu Gaoxu is convinced that Zhu Zhanji plus Yang Pu, plus the group of Taisun Party officials, are not enough to be defeated by the current politician Yang Shiqi with one hand.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhu Gaoxu did not bring many people with him on this trip, but only Nie Xing, Guo Deng, and a few good secret guards.

After all, he had to give his grandson Zhu Zhanji a chance, at least on the surface.

The so-called Mingzhou is Ningbo, Zhejiang.

Maritime trade in the former Song Dynasty was extremely developed. The imperial court attached great importance to the shipping trade, and the establishment of the Mingzhou Shipping Company promoted the development of overseas trade. Song merchants who wanted to trade with Goryeo and Japan needed the shipping company to issue corporate certificates, and Mingzhou was the only one. Legal ports play a pivotal role in the East Asian Maritime Silk Road.

Since the Song Dynasty, Qingyuan (Mingzhou) has been a trading port for Japan. Among the three ports, it is the closest to Japan. Therefore, almost all Japanese merchant ships bound for the Yuan Dynasty sailed into this port, with only one or two exceptions.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao implemented strict maritime bans and once closed all shipping ports.

It was not until Emperor Yongle came to the throne that Taicang Huangdu, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Jiaozhi Yunnan, and Wushi Shipsi were restored. The Japanese country paid tribute to Ningbo, and the Ryukyu Kingdom paid tribute to Quanzhou... Corresponding channels were specially set up for overseas vassal states. tribute port.

This time Zheng He's fleet returned to Daming and took the Ningguo route, so the port it arrived at was the Mingzhou Shipping Department, and it took a reasonable and legal official route.

The distance from the imperial capital Nanjing to Ningbo, Zhejiang is not that far, but Zhu Gaoxu and his party walked leisurely for more than half a month.

In the past half month, the group of people traveled around the mountains and rivers, traveling quickly and slowly, but no accidents happened.

Seeing this situation, Prince Han felt a little surprised.

"Nie Xing, our great grandson seems to have really held back this time!"

Seeing Mingzhou right in front, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile.

Hearing his words, Guo Deng shook his head angrily.

It was obviously only three or four days away, but you were forced to walk away for more than half a month. Even a fool knows what you, the Prince of Han, are waiting for.

No matter how stupid Zhu Zhanji is, he will not do anything that risks the disapproval of the world at this sensitive moment!

"That's not true. Maybe I'll be safe when I arrive, but I'll be restless on the way back."

Nie Xing opened his mouth with a smile, not disappointed at all.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and asked directly.

"What? What news does the secret guard have?"

"Your Majesty is wise! There have been a lot of small moves in the East Palace in recent days, spending a lot of money to secretly recruit good people!"

Hearing his news, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji, you can’t help it after all!

I just don’t know what His Majesty’s expression will be like when he learns the news!

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and rushed to the Mingzhou Shipping Department with a group of people.

Zheng He and others had been looking forward to it for a long time. As soon as they saw Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty, this legendary figure who had experienced many vicissitudes of life, tears fell uncontrollably.

"Zheng He...see His Highness the King of Han!"

Seeing that Zheng He was about to kneel down, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly stepped forward and supported him.

"Old Zheng, Old Zheng, this journey has not been easy for you!"

Zhu Gaoxu also felt inexplicable and patted Zheng He on the shoulder with emotion.

Where would it be a simple matter to open up new routes.

In this era where technology is still in ignorance, all navigation experiences need to be tried and explored again and again.

And these attempts and exploration processes are full of uncertainties and dangers, and they need to be filled with human lives!

When Zhu Gaoxu asked Zheng He to cross the Pacific and go straight to America, he warned Zheng He and others that there was a high possibility of encountering unimaginable difficulties and obstacles, and it was even possible that the entire naval fleet would be wiped out and buried in the belly of the fish.

Even he, Zhu Gaoxu, did not dare to lead his fleet across the Pacific Ocean and directly attack the American continent.

However, Zheng He not only was not afraid, he went with the navy fleet and came back successfully!

This alone is enough to make Zheng He famous and famous throughout the ages!

"Your Highness, this journey has been really hard!"

Zheng He couldn't help but burst into tears. He recalled the navy soldiers who were buried in the belly of the fish, the stormy waves he faced on the sea, and the desperate dangers and desperate situations. Even he could not hold back at this moment. Tears fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but look moved when he saw this, and kept speaking to comfort him.

"It'll be good when you're back, it'll be good when you're back!"

"You have been gone for several years. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I am really afraid that you will never come back!"

"Whether you bring back the divine seed this time or not, the court will see your achievements in tears, and all the naval officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives will also receive the compensation and honor they deserve!"

Hearing the promise made by Prince Han, who patted his chest, Zheng He felt better.

"On behalf of all the navy officers and men, I would like to express my gratitude to His Highness the King of Han for his great kindness, and to His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness!"

Zhu Gaoxu helped him up again, and then the two chatted for a while, talking about the past years.

Until Zheng He woke up from a dream and took the initiative to take a look at the rare herbs and American crops he brought back to confirm whether there were any divine seeds in them.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily, and under the leadership of Zheng He, he arrived at the Shibosi Wharf.

After boarding the ship and walking into the room, Zhu Gaoxu was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time when he saw the familiar and unfamiliar crops in front of him.

Seeing Zheng He on the side, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Damn it, this trip is not in vain, so I have to do it again, right?

He, Zheng He, didn't know the divine seeds. Even with the drawings and portraits given by His Highness the King of Han, he couldn't find the exact same crops!

He simply shoveled away all the flowers, plants and crops that were not available in the middle earth, adhering to the principle that he would rather make mistakes than let them go.

With just one shovel and dig, a dozen boatloads of flowers and crops were taken away.

"My lord, don't worry, this is just one of the ships, there are more than a dozen ships beside it, please take a closer look..."

"No need." Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, "Zheng He, Zheng He, you damn changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty this time and saved countless people in the world!"

"Just by looking at these things, you are enough to become a marquis!"

Zheng He:"!!!"

Everyone: "!!!"

Become a Marquis!
