I am the king of the dead

Chapter 678 Split the waves and ride the blue waves

Zhu Qiyu didn't reveal the answer immediately, but asked Xing'an to prepare a big banquet.

Today, two battleships, Haining and Lujiang, with three thousand materials, were officially delivered, and it was verified that the two battleships covered with gun barrels are as powerful as their appearance.

Today is a happy day, so it is natural to prepare a big banquet.

Zhu Qiyu still didn't drink a drop of wine, but only used some food, which naturally included extremely fresh swordfish. Unfortunately, he had no chance to taste sashimi. Xing'an, as His Majesty's big pen, does not allow raw food to come before His Majesty.

Your Majesty is a body of gold, even if you know that sashimi will not be eaten and your stomach is full of bugs, your Majesty's body is more important than the country.

Zhu Qiyu did not make things difficult for Xing'an in order to satisfy his appetite.

The swordfish is sliced ​​into slices as thin as cicada's wings by the chefs, and the texture of the fish can be clearly seen. If it is dipped in sauce, it will definitely be delicious in the world.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Zhu Qiyu asked the Xing'an messenger to bring up a red silk cloth cover, about half the size of a desk.

"This is the gift I want to give Commander Tang." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

All eyes were on the red silk cloth, what was under the red silk cloth?Why is Your Majesty so solemn?

They suddenly realized His Majesty's joy, the sense of mystery and anticipation before the unveiling of this red silk cloth!

Zhu Qiyu looked at the expressions of the officials waiting to open the box, but he was not in a hurry, but took out a book from his sleeve and said, "Before uncovering the red silk, let me tell a story."

"In the fifth year of Xuande, the first emperor decreed that Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, would lead the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty to go to the Western Ocean again, and send envoys to Hulumos, Mount Ceylon, Guli, Manga and other countries in the Western Ocean."

"There are more than [-] people from the official school, the banner army, the fire chief, the helmsman, the anchorman, the general officer, and the errands accompanying him."

"That's the seventh trip to the West for Eunuch Three Treasures, but it's never a holiday. Eunuch Three Treasures died of illness in Guli Kingdom."

"During the fifth and sixth times, Daming's fleet had already reached Malindi and Manbasa. This time, there was no exception because of the unfortunate death of the Sanbao eunuch. Li Xing, the well-known supervisor, led Daming's ships through After leaving the windless belt, I came to Manbasa again.”

"Everyone knows that Li Xing, the supervisor, has gone and never came back."

Ma Huan, Tongshitang's sacrificial wine and Honglu Temple's minister, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank a full glass.

This [-]-year-old veteran was the party involved in the Ming Dynasty's seventh voyage to the West. The Li Xing mentioned by His Majesty was unfamiliar to others, but Ma Huan was very familiar with Li Xing.

Li Xing, Hong Bao, and Wang Jinghong were all Zheng He's deputies. After Zheng He's death, Wang Jinghong led the team to continue his mission, while Li Xing led the navy detachment and headed for Manbasa. After the detachment returned, it unfortunately lost its way. .

The detachment led by Du Zhijian Li Xing had a total of 23 sea-going ships. When they returned to Guli Kingdom again, only seven ships remained.

"After Li Xing lost his way, he headed south and passed the Luojing Zhengfeng Peak. There was an ocean in front of him." Zhu Qiyu stood up, came to the red silk that was half the size of a desk, and uncovered the red silk with his own hands.

Under the red silk is a globe.

Moreover, in addition to the latitude and longitude lines, there are actually many locations standardized.

"My lords, the main peak of the compass is here, and the compass points to the north and the south." Zhu Qiyu's hand touched the corner of Dalang Mountain at the bottom of the African continent.

This place called Dalangshanjiao was called the Cape of Good Hope in later generations.

Li Xing is a real person, and it is true that Li Xing was lost.

But where Li Xing went, of course Zhu Qiyu didn't know, he lied about Li Xing.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Li Xing led the ship and wanted to return, but the trade wind was not always there, so we had to go with the wind. The ship went around the corner of Dalang Mountain and headed west all the way..."

"In the ten years of Xuande, an unprecedented storm was encountered on the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean was very windy and rough. Of the more than ten seagoing ships, only three remained. Unfortunately, Li Xing also died. The remaining sailors arrived at a new land."

"Afterwards, these three ships sailed across the Cangming Ocean and arrived at Borneo. Only one of the three ships was unable to move forward. In the end, there were only a dozen or so sailors who returned to Ming Dynasty. When these people returned to Daming, they were already Orthodox three years."

"At that time, the crowd is in full bloom."

After Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, everyone could hear His Majesty's yin and yang.

In the three years of orthodoxy, it was the time when the Lord Shaoguo was in doubt. Even King Jinghong of Dadang, who had returned to Daming from the south west for the seventh time, could not protect himself. Of course, no one had the energy to take care of these dozen or so people.

Zhu Qiyu shook his sleeves, took out a book and said: "The more than ten sergeants who returned to Daming brought back nothing else, but brought back a lot of navigation records, which were all stored in the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library. .”

"In the tenth year of orthodoxy, the ancient and modern Tongji library was on fire. Most of the "Zheng He's Envoy Water Journey" was burned, and the remaining documents were handed over to the military library for safekeeping."

"In the 14th year of Zhengtong, after the Battle of the Capital, I ordered Xing'an to transfer the remaining copies of "Zheng He's Mission to the Water", and printed several copies."

"When I was checking it out, I found this "Zhi Xing Guo Yang Zhi", obviously there are three ships left, and there are not enough pens, ink, paper and inkstones. .”

"However, after years of careful reading, I finally understood."

"Zheng He's Envoy Water Journey" is the archives of Zheng He's voyages to the West. After ten years of orthodoxy, it was handed over to the Ministry of War for safekeeping.

During the Chenghua period, Zhu Jianshen tried his best to go to the West again, and went to the Ministry of War to check the old documents of the Sanbao, but he couldn't find it.

Liu Daxia was not good at keeping files, so he should be punished, but the strange thing is that here, Liu Daxia can be said to have a prosperous official career and skyrocket.

However, Li Binyan and Tang Xing looked at each other. "Zheng He's Mission to the Water" is a lot of extremely complicated materials. When Li Binyan and Tang Xing were in Mizhou Shipping Department, they once received the engraved and printed " Zheng He's Emissary Water Course".

But the two of them swore that they had never seen this book "A Star in the World".

Of course they haven't seen it before, this book was written by Zhu Qiyu himself...

At this time, if someone would stand up and say loudly: [Fake!all fake! ]
[Li Xing has long been lost and died at sea, it is impossible for him to go to the so-called Atlantic Ocean, and there is no Atlantic Ocean at all!Man Basa is the sky! ]
Was it His Majesty telling the truth, or was the person who exposed His Majesty's lie telling the truth?

His Majesty must be telling the truth!
Because Your Majesty has evidence!Have you seen the book "Leading the Stars and Overseas Chronicles"?
Who will decide who is telling the truth?
The referee can only be His Majesty.

Therefore, even at this time, Li Xing, the prisoner who was lost in the voyage, exposed Zhu Qiyu face to face, and said loudly that he did not have a long voyage!
It is His Majesty who tells the truth, and it can only be His Majesty.

This is the monarchy.

The Western Ocean that Zheng He sailed to the Western Ocean probably refers to the Indian Ocean of later generations, and the Cangming Ocean refers to the Pacific Ocean of later generations.

"After calculating the astrology in the Yangzhi, I roughly calculated the position of their passage on the globe, drew it into the "General Map of the World" and displayed it on the globe."

"Now this globe is given to Commander Tang."

"I hope that one day Commander Tang will bring this globe and follow the example of his ancestors and tell me what the world really looks like."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Tang Xing, and he gave Tang Xing a picture hanging.

Although this globe is not detailed enough, even an extremely rough map is enough for Tang Xing to be more assured when sailing around the world.

Zhu Qiyu was very concerned about Tang Xing's personal safety, and Tang Yunyan was worried about it more than once.

But Tang Xing is the father, and Tang Yunyan can't control the freedom-loving Tang Xing. As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu can certainly control him, but Tang Xing is a relative who doesn't care. Let him stay quietly in the capital. It's better to kill him.

After Zhu Qiyu thought about it, since Tang Xing wants to be free, Zhu Qiyu will give him freedom.

Sailing around the world, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly.

"I have no way of knowing where Li Xing, the all-knowing supervisor, has gone, what hardships those good men in Daming have suffered, and what hardships they have gone through to return to Daming, and even those who have returned to Daming, I don't even know their surnames. Who is named?"

"The past is over, the Sri Lankan is gone, and after Zheng He, there will be no more Zheng He." Zhu Qiyu put away the chronicle with a heavy expression.

The officials were silent, and the auditorium where the Songjiang Shipyard banquet was held was extremely quiet.

There will be no more Zheng He after Zheng He, this is a very heavy topic.

How did the Ming Dynasty lose its sea power step by step, and then step by step lose its maritime security, resulting in rampant Japanese pirates, restless coasts, chaos in Liyue, and Luchuan repeated?
"Your Majesty's command is respectful! You will live up to His Majesty's entrustment!" Tang Xing took a deep breath, stood beside the globe, and said loudly.

"Okay! Drink this cup to the brim!" Zhu Qiyu picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

On the top of the willow trees on the moon, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the sea, the waves blew up the beaded curtains, and the sea breeze was blowing. The big banquet was over. Tang Xing and Li Binyan were lying on the table, staring at the table. globe.

Li Binyan stretched out his hand from time to time, flipping the globe.

This globe is tilted, and Li Binyan and Belin have calculated the inclination angle.

Wang Fu sent Daming many gifts, among them were the letters of Shah Ruh, the king of the Timur Kingdom. Shah Ruh was an astronomer, and the inclination he calculated was not much different from the calculations of Li Binyan and Belin.

"Don't you really want to go to the sky to see it? Why did Your Majesty entrust this matter to me?" Tang Xing drank a lot, but his eyes were still clear.

Li Binyan's dream of the sky started from the shipping department in Mizhou City.

At that time, Li Binyan was obsessed with the documents sent by His Majesty to Mizhou, which were the materials of Zheng He's voyages to the West.

In addition to being busy on the ground in Songjiang Mansion, what Li Binyan likes most is staring at the sky in a daze.

"Imitate Xihe and control the heavenly horse, aim to herd the stars in the sky, ride the blue waves for thousands of miles, and ride the dragon and the tiger to ascend to the immortal." Li Binyan twirled the globe in his hand and said, "I want to go too, but I can't go."

Tang Xing patted Li Binyan on the shoulder vigorously and said: "Hey, if you really want to go, just tell your majesty, how can your majesty disagree? Your governor Li Jian is in the heart of the emperor, and even I have heard that I am in Wa country. Can you agree?"

Li Binyan showed a somewhat honest smile and said: "Your Majesty told me about this before, and I said I really wanted to go, so Your Majesty let me go, but I didn't say I would go."

"It's not so difficult to choose between state affairs and private affairs, at least for me."

Tang Xing said carelessly: "It's okay, when the time comes to do something, I'll just say my name is Li Binyan!"

"When I go out to sea, I will carve a lot of steles. When I go to one place, I will leave one and write it on... then I will write it on it. Li Binyan, governor of the Ming Dynasty, come here for a visit!"

"Although you didn't come, but the name has arrived, it can be regarded as having been there!"

Li Binyan glanced at Tang Xing, and said in a neutral tone, "Just like in Japan?"

"It's like being in Japan!" Tang Xing nodded his head as a matter of course.

He grinned very happily, murdered and set Li Binyan on fire, Tang Xing was not the one who did bad things in Japan, but Li Binyan did it!

"You still have the nerve to say it! Last year, the Zhejiang inspector gave me a copy of the incident! It said that I had done all kinds of bad things in Japan, and His Majesty even issued an edict to ask why there were such rumors!" Li Binyan said furiously.

The Japanese merchants who went to the Ming Dynasty to trade in Japan are rumored that a man named Li Binyan in the Ming Dynasty went to the Muromachi Shogunate to become the boss, and even abducted the Imperial Order of the Japanese Kingdom!

This incident spread to Shizhong's ears, and he immediately read Li Binyan's book.

Li Binyan's notoriety has resounded all over the world, and everyone knows that there is a Li Binyan in Wa country who does all kinds of evil.

Tang Xing laughed sullenly, just silly, and after a while, he began to talk nonsense, obviously drunk, and the spirit of alcohol came up.

Seeing Tang Xing today, the bureau chief helped him up, and Tang Xing stopped making trouble, and prepared to go back, yelling.

"I made Yuling laugh." Li Binyan looked at Tang Xing, who was crazy about drinking, and felt a little helpless.

Jin Shenju shook his head and said, "I'm no longer an imperial order, so there's nothing to laugh at."

"Da Ming is so kind."

Jin Shenju helped Tang Xing back to the residence, Tang Xing pestered for another half a stick of incense, and then fell asleep.

At this time, on Jinshan Beach, Ran Siniang was stepping on the waves with her bare feet. During the day, there were too many people, and it was inconvenient for Ran Siniang to play. At night, she asked Zhu Qiyu to go to the beach to watch the sea.

Under the moonlight, the waves are beautiful.

Ran Siniang's silvery laughter kept coming, she suddenly turned her head, took a handful of seawater, sprinkled it on Zhu Qiyu who was standing on the dry bank, and said with a joyful face: "Husband, come and play together, the water is very warm .”

"Let's not go there, you can play by yourself." Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang's pretty face with drops of water, and said quite gently.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty avoided water.

Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Du Zundao and others called Han Shantong the eighth grandson of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and rose up to establish Han Song Dynasty.

Liu Futong's Red Scarf Army was an extremely important force in the late Yuan Dynasty. The feat of the three-way northern expedition to Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty has a long history.

Zhu Yuanzhang also accepted the order of the King of Han and Song, accepted the banner of the order of the King of Han and Song, and was named King of Wu.

Liu Futong was defeated, Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er was desperate, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to meet him, and Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er dissolved in water.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was jealous of water, which is why.

"Come on, the water is very warm." Ran Siniang thought about it.

A small yellow door whispered a few times in Xing'an's ear, and Xing'an's complexion changed a few times.

Seeing this, Ran Siniang didn't bother His Majesty anymore, she came out of the water and said with some regret: "Husband, I'm tired, let's go back."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an's hesitant to speak, so he nodded and said, "En."

Ran Siniang pursed her lips, looked at Zhu Qiyu's broad shoulders, then at the silvery white waves, and got on the sedan chair.

After returning to the place where he was staying, Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "Tell me, what happened."

　As the saying goes: The foolish king, the samurai, lies and wants to ask how the world is like. Paozhe talks about the past love in the name of breaking the waves.
