Jinyi champion

Chapter 1030

Zhang Cong was dispatched to Shaanxi as the chief envoy of the left.

After being an official for three years, he was able to go from a second-class Jinshi to a provincial Zuobu political envoy. Zhang Cong can be regarded as the best among the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Transferring to the Northwest, the gap in his heart is quite big.

After all, Shaanxi is a bit far away from the capital, and it is obvious that going to Shaanxi to become an official would be suspected of being dispatched. Zhang Cong was very miserable when he left, but many officials from the Yili School took the initiative to see him off.

Although most people didn't know what happened, they all felt sorry for Zhang Cong's experience, and somewhat expected that it might have something to do with factional strife between the DPRK and China.

But why the emperor wants to transfer the backbone of his own faction out of the capital, most people can't use common sense to speculate, it seems that there are still many people who don't know Zhu Hao's position in the new emperor's system, and they don't know at all whether Zhang Cong is He was dispatched because of his quarrel with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao had no intention of taking care of Zhang Cong's affairs at this time.

Since Zhang Cong was driven out of the capital by his own hands, he didn't need to pretend to send him off. The seeds of hatred had already been planted, so he should be more thorough, and it would be best not to communicate with each other forever.

When Zhu Hao returned to Beijing this time, there was actually one more important thing to do, and that was to visit Tang Yin on the sickbed.

These days Tang Yin's health was getting worse and worse, even to the point where he could not afford to lie down on his couch. While Tang Yin was still awake, Zhu Hao knew that he and Tang Yin Zhengde had known each other for nine years, and now they had a ten-year relationship, and it was almost time to draw an end.

When Zhu Hao arrived at the Tang residence, he was directly invited to Tang Yin's ward.

On the sick bed, Tang Yin's condition seemed to be better, but his complexion was pale, and he could only sit on the soft pillow, and he couldn't even sit for too long.

"When you were in Xishan, you were fine, why did you become like this after returning to the capital for more than a month?"

Zhu Hao sat down in front of the bed, and Tang Yin's lovely wife, who was waiting at the bedside, wiped away tears, left the room with her stomach straight, and closed the door behind her.

There was a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room.

Tang Yin smiled wryly and said: "I've said it all, you don't need to boil medicine for me, life and death are life and death, but they don't listen... I am no longer demanding in this life, everything I have experienced in the past few years is enough to make me die No regrets!"

Zhu Hao was very moved after hearing this.

After all, he didn't know Tang Yin for so long. The point is, his small body can't be a close friend with Tang Yin, and he can't change from Tang Yin's youth. If he can go back to before Tang Yin was hit by the court... everything may be different.Tang Yin is still the flirtatious young man, dissolute and unrestrained, and he, Zhu Hao, may become friends with Tang Yin, drink together, and enjoy the world.

Zhu Hao said, "It's a pity that I didn't take Mr. Tang overseas."

"fine."

Tang Yin has no interest in any overseas places.

……

……

The two chatted about some past events. Whenever Tang Yin mentioned Zhu Hao's youth, he always had a smile on his face.

It was a kind of gratification to witness Zhu Hao's thriving step by step, perhaps more exciting than Tang Yin's own experience.

Tang Yindao: "Jingdao, do you remember that you promised to tell me clearly about your past experiences before I closed my eyes? Others don't know, but I know very well that your knowledge was not taught by me. Before you met me You have a famous teacher, and you may even have experienced the favor of the immortal family, otherwise... I really can't figure out why you have such supernatural powers."

Zhu Hao smiled: "Do you have to say it?"

Tang Yin gave Zhu Hao a blank look: "If you promise to others, you must do it."

"Isn't it the day when Mr. Tang closed his eyes? Wait a little longer."

Zhu Hao felt that although Tang Yin was dying of illness, he still had a few days to live.

It would be terrible if some secrets were accidentally leaked by Tang Yin, so we had to keep them secret first.

Tang Yin said with a bitter face: "I don't have a few days to live, you still want to keep hiding?"

Zhu Hao sighed and said nothing.

Tang Yin asked again: "Then what's going on between you and Bingyong?"

Zhu Hao replied with a smile: "It's enough for me to be an official in Ming Dynasty. I want to cultivate an enemy and let him drive me out of the court, can't I?"

"you……"

Tang Yin wanted to scold people very much.

When others have a chance, they just squeeze their brains out, but Zhu Hao obviously has a good future, but he always likes to kill himself.

Zhu Haodao: "I deliberately had conflicts with Zhang Bingyong and made him hate me. You know this. This time I plotted against him with my own hands. Your Majesty listens to me now, but he will also follow me because of this." A suspicion arises, but His Majesty is actually unwilling in his heart, or in other words, His Majesty will definitely regret what happened today, and seeds of doubt and distrust of me will begin to be planted in his heart."

Tang Yin frowned: "Others are trying their best to gain the emperor's trust, but you..."

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Anyway, I don't rely on His Majesty's trust to live, do I?"

"You are really speechless."

Tang Yin once again felt that Zhu Hao was different.

Zhu Hao took out something and handed it to Tang Yin.

After looking at it, Tang Yin asked, "What is this?"

Zhu Hao said: "This is a list of ships going out to sea. I have named each ship. They will set sail..."

"Aren't you going to exterminate the pirates and Japanese pirates in the southeast?" Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao in puzzlement, "Looking at you like this, it seems like you're gone forever."

Zhu Hao nodded: "It's true that it's not to destroy the pirates, but to go to a farther place, but the soldiers on the ship can't tell them that. If they know, who is willing to go to sea with me? Guan Jing and Lu Bing, I didn't let them Come back, but let them go south with the boat!"

"You...what are you going to do? Are you going to send troops to attack Wa? Or..."

"No, I'm going to find a new continent, which is vast and rich. More importantly, the people on that land are very ignorant and backward, and they are still living in the era of slash-and-burn farming. As long as our soldiers and horses kill them, they will definitely be able to go there. Create a new world. I mentioned this to His Majesty early on, and His Majesty also agrees."

Zhu Hao revealed his purpose.

Shipbuilding was originally intended to open up a great voyage belonging to the Chinese nation. As for the extermination of pirates and Japanese pirates, it was just an excuse.

Now that the imperial court has reactivated Lu Wan, with Lu Wan, an experienced veteran, leading troops to quell the Japanese invasion in the southeast, what is Zhu Hao going to do with him?
Originally, Zhu Hao planned to set off with the fleet, but in the end, he still found Francobots with ocean experience and asked them to be guides, but more importantly, he used the compass researched by Zhu Hao, steam engines and sails, and tried to Huge fleets come across the Pacific.

This is Zhu Hao's plan, and I am afraid that it is also the ambition that all traversers need to have. After all, the American continent has been discovered by the Europeans. If you go late, it will be difficult to occupy a place.

Tang Yin sighed: "How many people can I take with me when I go out to sea? It doesn't help if there are fewer people."

Zhu Hao laughed and said, "Sir, forgot the firearms I researched? They were originally intended to be used in the Northwest, but the Northwest has been fairly peaceful in the past two years. The most advanced firearms of Ming Dynasty are all on those ships. It can be said that at the same time In modern times, there is no armed force anywhere that can compare to my fleet! What we want is crushing!"

"Really? Why did I hear that the weapons possessed by the Frang robot are still very powerful. In the battle with the naval forces along the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, they lost more than they won, and there were even battles that would collapse at the touch of a button."

Tang Yin naturally felt that Zhu Hao was bragging.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Sir, what do you think I've been doing these past few years? Do you want to fight with Mr. Yang Ge and Mr. Jiang Ge? It's okay to go to Xishan, Yongping Mansion, or even Tianjin, and spend almost all of our manpower and material resources. On top of this, do you know how much silver I have in my family? Over the years, I have earned more than 400 million taels of silver, but now all the idle silver around me adds up to less than 100 taels."

"you……"

Tang Yin was completely convinced.

Especially horrified by the number reported by Zhu Hao... 400 million taels of silver.

How did Zhu Hao earn so much money?
Also, with so much money, Zhu Hao actually spent it all on building trains, repairing railways, building ships, and making weapons?That... seems to be quite a lot.

Zhu Haodao: "In the next few years, or even decades, I will not stop. I will not stay in the capital as a conservative official, compete with others, intrigue all the time, and even help His Majesty to review every day. Memorial. What does this mean to me?"

"Ugh!"

Tang Yin sighed, and said quietly, "I can tell that your heart is not in court, not even in Daming."

Zhu Hao smiled: "Sir, what you said is right and wrong."

"My heart is overseas, but my goal is still to change Daming. What I use is still the fleet and people of Daming, and I still use the banner of Daming. Wherever I go, others don't know that I am Zhu Hao. Who it is, but everyone knows that it is a big country in the East.

"Wouldn't it be nice if all the four seas would be my Ming's territory in a few decades?"

Tang Yin asked coldly: "At that time, were you still willing to be a courtier?"

Zhu Hao smiled and shook his head: "I don't understand what you said, sir."

Tang Yin finally understood at this moment.

Zhu Hao used to use Tang Yin as a springboard, the Xing Palace as a springboard, and even the emperor as a springboard, and now he wants to use Daming as a springboard... Zhu Hao's ultimate goal is actually not to listen to anyone, but to make decisions for himself. Take control.

That is to say, why doesn't Zhu Hao rarely become the chief assistant of the cabinet, competing with the ministers for the benefit of the emperor?Because his ultimate goal was to dominate everything by himself, even if the emperor of Ming Dynasty was still Zhu Si, he might have to bow down to Zhu Hao.

"Jingdao, you are too ambitious. Once you take a step, it may be difficult to take it back."

Tang Yin kindly reminded.

Zhu Hao said: "This involves the question that sir has been asking me before... Sir, since I have reached this point, there is no need for me to hide it from you. To be honest, I am not from this era. You know that I am Where did it come from? Hundreds of years later..."

Tang Yin asked in surprise: "What did you say?"

Zhu Hao got up, and said seriously: "From the perspective of the era, it should be about 500 years later. Do you know what has happened in the past 500 years? Times have changed, the Ming Dynasty has perished, foreign races have invaded, mountains and rivers have fallen, and the Chinese civilization has risen and fallen... All these things have changed. For you, it's the future, but for me it's the past."

Tang Yin could no longer express his feelings in words.

Because he knew that there was no need for Zhu Hao to deceive a dying person in such a matter.
