Chapter 2320: Zhou Yu and Shang Shanshan, the second voyage to the West

[Ding dong, Ye Qingmei led the fleet to complete the first voyage to the west, becoming the first woman in the east to arrive in India, achieving two major achievements 'World Connector' and 'Female Model', rewarding five-dimensional permanent +1 and charm +3.

叶轻眉当前：统帅50（+16），武力85（+50），智力98（+6），政治94（+8），魅力107（+7）】

After receiving the prompt from the system, Ying Hao took another look at Ye Qingmei's attributes, and immediately gasped.

"Hiss...Ye Qingmei's attributes have actually increased so much."

If Ying Hao remembers correctly, before going to sea, Ye Qingmei's commander and force attributes were still 40 (+6) and 80 (+45).

After returning from a voyage, Ye Qingmei's attributes increased by as much as 24 points after tempering and achievement rewards.

Is this Ye Qingmei, who is a traverser, whose potential has not yet been discovered?

Or did this voyage to the West give Ye Qingmei enough tempering?
Or maybe both?
[Ding dong, Qi Jiguang protected Ye Qingmei, completed his first voyage to the West, won many battles, and achieved the achievement 'Megatron Nanyang', rewarding five-dimensional permanent +1.

戚继光当前五维：统帅98（+1），武力99（+3），智力90（+1），政治86（+1），魅力97（+1）。】

[Ding dong, Qi Jiguang landed in Chu State for the first time, and broke through the Jiaozhou government office of Chu State, captured Jiaozhou Governor Liu Xian, and returned safely, becoming the first navy general in the Great Qin Dynasty to land in Chu State, rewarding the commander with permanent +1, and permanent charm +1.

戚继光当前五维：统帅99（+2），武力99（+3），智力90（+1），政治86（+1），魅力98（+2）。】

The improvement of Qi Jiguang's attribute was not as exaggerated as Ye Qingmei's, but it was amazing enough.

Seeing this, Ying Hao said to himself in surprise: "Qi Jiguang's attributes have also improved so much, it seems that this voyage is far more exciting than I expected.

After Qingmei and Qi Jiguang return to court, they must give me a good explanation. "

The fleet sailing to the west has arrived in Beihai, and it is estimated that Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang will return to the court in half a month at most.

Qingbei, Beihai County, Beihai Village.

After another month of sailing, Ye Qingmei and his party finally returned to Qingbei.

Knowing the return of the mission from the Western Seas, Fan Zhongyan, the governor of Qingzhou, Su Lie, the governor of Qingzhou, and Zhou Yu, the governor of the navy, jointly led all the civil and military personnel from Qingzhou to welcome them. The scene was so grand.

Before Ye Qingmei returned to the voyage, there had been two waves of fleets sailing to the west, both of which had brought back huge amounts of wealth for Daqin.

As the origin of the fleet, Qingbei has naturally gained a lot of benefits, and even the development of the entire Qingbei has been accelerated a lot.

For the current Great Qin, whoever can bring wealth to the country's development is the uncle.

And the fleet sailing to the west is now a chicken that can keep laying golden eggs and can keep creating wealth, so naturally it has to be treated solemnly.

Huayang Princess Ying Xuewu, who was five months pregnant, was staring at the sea level with a binoculars in her hand, but seeing that the fleet hadn't returned for a long time, she felt a little drowsy.

Just when Ying Xuewu was about to close her eyes, she caught a glimpse of a shadow jumping out of the sea level in the camera lens, she immediately cheered up, and said excitedly: "I'm back, sister Qingmei is back."

Zhou Yu supported his wife, took the binoculars, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "Finally back, let's play music, welcome the return of the mission."

Uh...

Thousands of musicians began to play festive music.

Under the cheers of the music and the crowd, Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang's treasure ship was the first to sail into Beihai Port.

"Sister Xuewu, long time no see."

Seeing that Ying Xuewu was also at the port, Ye Qingmei ran over with a smile. She was going to hug her, but seeing Ying Xuewu's swollen belly, she stopped immediately and said pleasantly, "Sister Xuewu, you are pregnant." .”

"Ah."

Ying Xuewu nodded with a happy face, looked at the husbands around her lovingly, stroked her belly and said with a smile, "It's been five months."

"so good."

Ye Qingmei surrounded Ying Xuewu, looking left and right, as if she was looking at some treasure.

Seeing this, Ying Xuewu smiled and said, "You will have some soon."

Ye Qingmei blushed immediately, and then pulled Zhou Yu aside, and asked in a low voice: "Gong Jin, you should have taken care of the matter about that person."

"Which one?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

"Who else could it be, Shang Shanshan?"

Hearing Ye Qingmei say this name, Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled Ye Qingmei further away, and said in a low voice: "Miss Qingmei, don't talk nonsense, there is nothing between me and Miss Monk. , nothing happened."

Ye Qingmei folded her hands on her chest and looked at Zhou Yu with a sneer: "Really? She is such a beautiful lady, she is a slave by your side, and you can't even push her away. Are you really not moved at all?"

Zhou Yu said without even thinking about it: "Don't be moved, I, Zhou Yu, am devoted to Madam, and there will be no other person in my heart except Madam."

Seeing Zhou Yu's decisive answer, Ye Qingmei believed most of it in her heart, but she was still worried about Shang Shanshan, so she asked again: "Then what about Shang Shanshan now?"

For this woman, Shang Shanshan, Ye Qingmei was inexplicably hostile.

Such a beautiful woman from a wealthy family, knowing that Zhou Yu likes Princess Daqin, and when it is absolutely impossible for them to get along, she completely let go of her dignity, and insisted on staying in Zhou Yu's house in a shameless, even desperate way. Surrounded by slaves and handmaids.

If it were any other woman, Ye Qingmei might admire her courage to pursue happiness, but for Shang Shanshan, Ye Qingmei always felt that her purpose was impure, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Since the princess became pregnant, I let Miss Shang leave." Zhou Yu replied truthfully.

Ye Qingmei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she heard the words, no matter what Shang Shanshan's purpose is, she has been expelled from the state capital now, it is impossible to destroy the relationship between Zhou Yu and his wife, right?

But out of caution, Ye Qingmei asked again: "About the military news, you haven't mentioned it to Shang Shanshan, have you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Miss Qingmei, do you think Zhou is stupid? Regarding military affairs, even in front of his wife, Zhou never mentioned it. How could he tell Miss Shang?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingmei was completely relieved, and now the last hidden danger was gone.

What Ye Qingmei didn't know was that at this time, Shang Shanshan, no, it was Uesugi Kenshin, who was hiding in the crowd and watching her from a distance.

"Ye Qingmei."

Uesugi Kenshin gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

If it weren't for this woman, she might have become Zhou Yu's concubine, and it would be easier to find information about Da Qin in this way.

The Japanese pirates who were detained back then were wiped out by the Qin army. In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Uesugi Kenshin pretended to be rescued by Zhou Yu under the pseudonym Shang Shanshan, and then he pretended to be a maid by Zhou Yu's side under the pretense of repaying his favor. In order to find out the secrets of Qin Jun, such as Qin Jun's shipbuilding technology.

Like the spies of Chu State, although Kenshin Uesugi obtained some information, it was only fragments of information, not complete information.

Just when she was extremely disappointed and was about to return to Dongpu without wasting time, she discovered that Daqin had carried out a large-scale secret shipbuilding plan.

Although she didn't know the specific scale of shipbuilding, she knew that the scale of expansion would definitely not be small, otherwise Zhou Yu wouldn't be so busy every day.

Daqin is located in the north. It obviously doesn't need so many naval forces, but it builds so many warships. So who do you want to deal with?

There are only two naval powers in the north, Dongying and Wang Mang.

Although Uesugi Kenshin didn't know whether Daqin's goal was Dongying, but just in case, she decided to stay and go back after finding out Daqin's specific purpose.

Uesugi Kenshin's plan is to become Zhou Yu's concubine first. After all, as a maid, it is too difficult to get information from Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is an upright gentleman, and he already has someone he loves, so he never did anything wrong to her, a great beauty.

Therefore, if you want to climb into this man's bed, you must use some special means, such as: drugging.

Zhou Yu is the kind of man who is in charge. If he gets his first time, he will definitely be responsible for himself.

Although Japanese people generally don't pay much attention to chastity, Uesugi Kenshin is a virgin after all, and if she loses the first time in such a dirty way, she will naturally feel conflicted in her heart.

It took her a long time to make up her mind. After all, compared with the safety of Japan, her personal chastity was insignificant.

Originally Uesugi Kenshin's plan was flawless, but it was ruined by the arrival of a person, this person is Ye Qingmei.

Uesugi Kenshin was sure that he was not guilty of Ye Qingmei, but this woman had been on guard against her since the first time she saw her, and even said a lot of bad things about her to Zhou Yu.

I don't know if it was influenced by Ye Qingmei, Uesugi Kenshin felt that Zhou Yu alienated her so much that she didn't have any chance to attack her.

It is precisely because of this that after Zhou Yu asked her to leave, Uesugi Kenshin left the Zhou mansion. After all, Zhou Yu had already taken precautions against her. If she continued to stay, it would only be a waste of time. Get it in.

After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Uesugi Kenshin did not return to Dongying, but stayed in Qingzhou to continue to inquire about intelligence.

She had a bad premonition in her heart. Perhaps the reason why Daqin built large-scale ships was to avenge Dongying.

Two days later, Ye Qingmei, Qi Jiguang and other heroes who went to the West, as well as the princes of Ruan Yue and other countries, went to Luoyang under the welcome of all the civil and military personnel in Qingzhou.

Looking at Qi Jiguang's leaving back, Zhou Yu felt the pressure on her body was getting heavier.

After learning about the process of this voyage to the West, Zhou Yu realized that Qi Jiguang, a subordinate who usually does not show his talents, is so good in both water and land battles.

Zhou Yu has already fully understood the many battles of the missions to the West, even if he personally participated in the battle, I am afraid that this is the level, and he will not be better than Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang made such a great contribution, and his majesty will definitely reward him when he returns to the court, and his status in the Great Qin Navy will also be greatly improved, even to the point where he can challenge him as the commander-in-chief.

After thinking up to this point, Zhou Yu only felt that it was very difficult for him to be the governor of the capital.

Although he has meritorious service, the meritorious service he has made is only enough to sit on the position of the captain of the navy. If he wants to sit firmly, he must make greater contributions.

Therefore, all of his subordinates are restless. Whether it is Qi Jiguang or Han Shizhong, they all want to challenge or even replace them.

"However, you won't have this opportunity. This recruitment of Japanese is an opportunity for the governor to completely widen the gap with you." Zhou Yu said confidently.

Zhou Yu has been preparing for a year, and he is well aware of the current combat power of the Qingzhou navy, and it will definitely not be a problem to deal with the mere Japanese navy.

Although the imperial court has not announced the matter of conquest of the Japanese, or even the candidate for the chief general, Zhou Yu feels that this time the chief general is none other than himself.

Before attacking Wa Island, the navy was the absolute main force. Even after attacking Wa Island, the importance of the navy is self-evident.

Therefore, as the captain of the navy, he is naturally the best candidate for the chief general.

Every time Zhou Yu thinks about this moment, Zhou Yu looks forward to it more and more, wanting to show his skills in the Wa Kingdom.

In the second year of Shenwu, on March [-]st, Ye Qingmei and his party returned to Luoyang, and received canonization in the early court.

"...Annan, Ruan, Yue and other eight countries have voluntarily surrendered to our Great Qin...

The emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict saying: Confer Ruan Fuying as Marquis of Ruan, and Li Gongyun as Marquis of Yue...Give him a seal, order him to seal the country overseas, and reward him with a hundred altars of imperial wine, a thousand pieces of Qin brocade...Announce to the world, so that the salty emissary can hear about it. "

After Cao Zhengchun finished reading out the canonization edict, Ruan Yue and other elders from the eight kingdoms were overjoyed, and kowtowed their heads in thanks, saying: "Thank you Lord Long's grace, long live my emperor, and ten thousand years of Great Qin."

Ying Hao did not crown Ruan Yue and other countries as kings. After all, Annan's power was still too weak. Even Li and Tang surrendered without being crowned kings, let alone Ruan and Yue countries?
The princes of Ruan Yue and other countries obviously knew this too, so they didn't have extravagant expectations from the beginning, that Da Qin would make them kings, and it would be good to be named Marquis.

Ruan Yue and other elders of the Eight Kingdoms, after thanking them, ordered people to present tributes, which were some rare gold, silver and jewels, as well as some rare objects.

Seeing this, all the ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty were extremely surprised. They never thought that the mere barbarians would be so rich.

Ying Hao was very satisfied with these tributes. If all the countries in Annan had this amount of tribute every year, it would be a considerable income for Daqin.

After the elder sons of Ruan Yue and other countries withdrew from the grand ceremony, Cao Zhengchun began to announce the canonization of Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang again.

"Seal Ye Qingmei as a heroine, reward a phoenix crown, ten gold beads, 5000 taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver..."

"Confer Qi Jiguang the title of Marquis of Jinghai, reward him with a pair of dragon scale armor, ten horses, 5000 liang of gold, and [-] silver..."

Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang knelt down together, saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Ying Hao stretched out his hands to help, and said with a smile: "The two lovers are equal, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Just this time, the business income from the Western Seas accounted for as much as [-]% of my Daqin's total annual income. It can be seen that the huge profits of the sea trade, my Daqin can't give up no matter what, and the second Western Seas must be raised as soon as possible." Just get on the agenda."

As he said that, Ying Hao looked down at Ye Qingmei and asked, "Ye Aiqing, regarding the candidate for the second voyage to the West, who do you think is more suitable?"
