The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 551 The Overseas Status of Ming Merchants
The future is the future of the age of great voyages.

On this point, Zhu Ying was naturally very clear in her heart.

The future direction is also very clear. Naturally, Da Ming will guide the entire era of great navigation.

Especially for the expenditure on the navy side, the current investment in military pay is constantly increasing.

If you want to start a big voyage, you must definitely have a fleet.

Chen Muyue, who is going back to Annan to visit her relatives, can be regarded as a tentative beginning.

"That's Champa over there."

Standing on the deck, Chen Muyue looked at the looming land on the sea, and asked the navy commander Jin Kaishan next to him.

After more than a month of sailing, the current Chen Muyue has gradually adapted to this kind of rough sea under the conditioning of the female imperial physician.

The current situation is considered to be recovering well, and there are no problems in other aspects.

When Jin Kaishan heard the words, he bowed respectfully and said, "Return to your mother, the sea in front of you does not belong to Champa, it should belong to Annan."

After finishing speaking, Jin Kaishan felt a little regretful. Naturally, which pot should not be opened and which pot should be lifted, how could he say it so bluntly.

As soon as these words came out, the taste was a bit wrong.

It was as if he had set his own course and purposely made a detour.

However, Chen Muyue didn't say much, she knew very well the key to her trip back to Annan to visit her relatives, but it was already very good to be able to come back.

Throughout the past and present, this is probably the first time in history, and this matter can be recorded in the annals of history.

Jin Kaishan carefully looked at Concubine Yue's expression, seeing that there was nothing unusual about her, he felt relieved.

Of course he could guess that Concubine Yue knew about this matter, but it was also a taboo to guess.

According to the current situation of Concubine Yue, it is impossible to be a queen, but becoming a noble concubine is a certainty.

I seem to have a high grade, but with His Royal Highness, I am afraid it is just a matter of one sentence.

The opening of this errand in Jinkai Mountain was a matter of fortune and misfortune.

While keeping a distance from Concubine Yue, if she can gain Concubine Yue's favor and complete this trip successfully, that would be a great achievement.

It is a matter of course to be promoted after looking back.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy outside, and we'll arrive in Champa in two days, otherwise you'd better go back inside and have a rest."

"I docked in Qiongzhou yesterday, and there were many rare fruits sent over there. Your majesty can taste some more. These are extremely rare in our Great Ming capital."

After a long time, about a stick of incense, Jin Kaishan said cautiously.

Chen Muyue chuckled lightly: "General Jin probably forgot where I was before. I grew up in Annan, and Annan naturally has fruits from Qiongzhou."

"Even some rare ones are very common in Annan Palace."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Kaishan immediately became a little embarrassed.

But he forgot about it.

"Okay, you don't have to try hard to please me. His Royal Highness, the most important thing is the loyal and patriotic soldiers. As long as you can successfully complete this voyage, you will naturally have a share of credit."

"When you arrive in Zhancheng, be smarter, be more arrogant, and make more noise. Only in this way can you live up to His Royal Highness' expectations of you."

"Don't always think about going the wrong way, but understand."

Chen Muyue was Princess Annan since she was a child. She grew up in the atmosphere of the palace and was very familiar with some beatings.

After Jin Kaishan heard the words, his complexion paused, and he quickly cupped his fists and bowed: "It's a humble job that is confused, thank you for your enlightenment, and I will definitely not disappoint His Royal Highness."

Chen Muyue didn't say any more, but turned her head to look at the coastline on Annan's side again, with a touch of complexity in her eyes.

Two days later.

Champa coastal pier.

A large number of people gathered here, and the entire pier has been completely blocked.

The boats on the side of the pier also stopped because of this.

"Such a big ostentation, who is going to come here, young master, look, isn't that the king of Zhancheng?"

"It turns out that even King Zhan has come forward in person. I'm afraid this is really a big shot."

"It's just that our ships have been cleared, and the goods on it have not been loaded yet."

A servant said to the gorgeously dressed boy beside him.

The young man is Chen Qizhi from a Jiangnan family.

When the big ship from the Jiangnan Shipyard set off, Chen Qizhi followed it all the way south.

Unlike Chen Muyue's side, although they set off first, merchant ships are for business, buying and selling along the way.

First, purchase and distribute in the territory of Ming Dynasty, including Qiongzhou, the place of exile, where many rare medicinal materials can also be hoarded.

Fujian, Ryukyu and other places in front are all current merchant ships.

It was only yesterday afternoon that they arrived in Champa.

Just happened to come across it.

"What do you know? The Jingshi Mansion newspaper forgot that our great-grandson's side concubine, concubine Yue, came back to Annan to visit relatives in this aristocratic family."

"Calculating the time, it happens to be around the same point. To be able to work for King Zhan to wait and greet him in person, naturally only our concubine, Great Moon Concubine, can do it."

"Do you know about Princess Zhancheng some time ago? It is said that King Zhan gave up a city and gave it to His Highness Taisun as a congratulatory gift to Daming, and as the overseas domain of His Highness Yunqi, the grandson of Emperor Ming."

"Only then can I be qualified to choose a princess and give it to our Highness the Great-Son of Ming Dynasty as a side concubine."

Chen Qizhi said with a smile.

Not long before Champa, there was an oolong incident.

Originally, it was planned to appoint a Champa princess to go to Daming, but after choosing left and right, it was discovered that none of the Champa princesses was extremely beautiful.

Appearance is the most important thing.

If the princess's beauty is not good enough, and she is rejected by His Royal Highness in Daming, wouldn't the city be blinded for nothing.

So no matter what, you must choose a princess who is beautiful enough.

There is no way, tea can only loosen the restrictions a little in the end, but anyone who is contaminated with the blood of King Champa, even distant relatives, does not matter, as long as they are beautiful.

After letting go like this, I really found a suitable candidate.

It's a pity that the woman doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​marrying far away at all, and her temperament is relatively savage.

Zhanren is different from Annan, most of them are very close to the sea.

The woman's father was also a man of distinction, so the woman was able to receive a big boat as a gift from her father early on.

This caused women to like life at sea very much, and I don't know where I heard that after going to Daming, they can only stay in the deep palace compound forever.

So after making sure, he simply ran away.

This time, it can be regarded as a big blow.

Because after confirming the candidate, King Champa invited a painter, drew a portrait and gave it to the Ming envoy, who was asked to take it to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to show His Royal Highness Taisun.

Now the portrait has been sent away, but now the person has run away.

If Daming thinks it's okay and let him send it over, it will be really bad.

This matter is both small and big.

If we really want to pursue it, it should be a disaster for the current Champa.

For this reason, Champa King Cha also waited for the arrival of the Ming Fleet on the pier long in advance in order to express his sincerity.

"Master, this woman is really out of her mind."

"That's our grandson of the Ming Dynasty. The future Emperor of Ming can become His Royal Highness's concubine. This is a blessing that cannot be cultivated in ten lifetimes."

"This woman even sneaked out. Could it be that she looks down on our grandson?"

The servant said angrily.

In his heart, or in the hearts of most Ming people, His Royal Highness is the supreme existence.

And being able to marry His Highness the Grandson is every woman's dream.

This woman is so abnormal, it is simply a joke in the world.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. It shouldn't be because they don't want to marry. In this world, there is nothing more noble than His Royal Highness the Grandson."

"Perhaps in her view, freedom is the pursuit of her heart."

Chen Qizhi said with a sigh.There was a bit of interest in this woman in his tone.

Of course, it's just a little bit of interest.

For example, this woman is currently related to Her Majesty the Grandson, and those who understand a little bit know that there is no way to get involved.

Once there is any involvement, to a certain extent, it is like grabbing a woman from His Highness the Grandson.

Who could have such a guts?

Although the world is big, there may not be a place for shelter at that time.

The influence of Daming may not be felt by the people living in Daming, but after coming out, they really have a deep understanding.

For overseas people, anyone who comes from Daming, in their hearts, is naturally aristocratic. Chen Qizhi has the deepest experience when sailing overseas.

Even some officials of Zhancheng were very polite and even flattering when they received the merchants of Ming Dynasty.

Merchant ships from other countries need to wait in line, but merchant ships from Ming Dynasty don’t have to worry about this rule at all, they just jump in line.

Even if there was a queue, it was Daming queuing himself.

From the perspective of businessmen from other countries, such a situation is the most normal thing. No one has the slightest complaint. It seems that the businessmen of Ming Dynasty enjoy privileges as they should.

"Master, the sun is getting brighter, let's go to the shade." The servant said beside him.

Chen Qizhi looked at King Champa standing under the canopy on the pier ahead, and nodded slightly.

After watching the excitement and waiting for a long time, I don't know if the news from Champa King was wrong, or he deliberately came to wait in advance. Almost half an hour has passed, and there is no shadow of a boat on the sea.

King Champa didn't even sit down, he was still standing the whole time.

On the contrary, there were many onlookers watching, and some couldn't wait any longer.

On the pier, Champa King Cha was also standing under the canopy, and asked the minister next to him, "How long will it take for Daming's fleet to arrive?"

After standing for half an hour, Cha was not in a hurry.

Originally, when the news came, I knew it might be late, but Cha also decided to wait in advance.

All of this was naturally entangled with the selection of the princess for a long time.

The portrait could not be recovered, so I had to find a way from other places.

Now the woman has also gone out to sea by boat, there is no news for several days, and no one has found her. There was a big wave the day before yesterday, so I don't know if she was buried in the belly of the fish.

"Your Majesty, according to the estimated time reported earlier, it will be almost half an hour away." The minister of Zhancheng beside him replied respectfully.

Champa King Cha also nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and waited.

No one could have imagined.

At the moment, on Chen Muyue's side of the boat, there was a woman lying in the cabin.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this woman is weak and drank too much sea water, that's why she fell into a coma. I have already used acupuncture to help her out, and prescribed a prescription. After waking up and drinking the medicine, she will recover within a few days."

The female imperial physician said to Chen Muyue after reading it.

There was a strong wind on the sea the day before yesterday, which had no effect on the fleet, but after the strong wind, the woman was accidentally discovered on the sea.

When the news reached Jin Kaishan, it was natural to ask Concubine Yue to make a decision.

Chen Muyue asked the female imperial physician to treat her.

"Doctor Zhang's acupuncture and moxibustion are really miraculous. If you think about this person's life, it should be her blessing to save her life."

Chen Muyue replied.

Chen Muyue had personally experienced the acupuncture and moxibustion of this female imperial physician.

Due to seasickness, I couldn't eat, and naturally I couldn't take medicine, but after a set of acupuncture, all the discomfort can be suppressed.

This kind of medical skill is really unimaginable.

It's no wonder that His Royal Highness attaches great importance to doctors and specially established a medical school.

After Doctor Zhang left, Chen Muyue looked at the unconscious woman, and said, "She is pretty, but her origin is unknown, Xiaoqing, you can watch her here, and bring her to me when she wakes up."

Xiaoqing replied: "Good lady, don't worry, I'll watch."

After Chen Muyue left, Xiaoqing looked enviously at the face of the unconscious woman.

"What a delicate person, although the eyes are closed, but with such long eyelashes, the eyes must be big and beautiful."

"It still has a somewhat exotic feeling, compared to my mother, it's only a little bit different."

"I don't know whose girl is born so beautiful."

When Xiaoqing was bored, she looked at the unconscious woman and couldn't help muttering with some yearning.

Just as she was talking, the woman's long eyelashes moved, as if she was about to wake up.

Xiaoqing quickly said: "Miss, can you hear me?"

The woman opened her eyes vaguely, and inside were blue pupils like sea water.

Then he looked around, not knowing where he was, and finally his eyes fell on Xiaoqing.

He paused for a moment, as if recalling something, and then chattered a lot.

How can Xiaoqing understand this.

At the moment, I can only say; "You speak Champa, I don't understand, there is an interpreter on board, you wait, I will hand over the interpreter."

Although she didn't understand, Xiaoqing was from Annan after all, so she naturally knew that it was Champa dialect.

Champa dialect is not Chinese, it is similar to Tianzhu language, so people who have never learned it will naturally not understand it.

"Don't bother, thank you, I can speak Chinese." The woman said weakly.

When Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately became happy, and asked, "My name is Xiaoqing, and I am the personal maid of Concubine Yue. What about you? What's your name?"

The woman paused slightly when she heard the word Yuefei, and then replied: "My name is Ananya."
