Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 120 The Three Generations of Zhongliang
Chen Baiyue was chatting with Zheng He, while Zhu Zhanchang walked up to the weak member of the Dongying mission.

Watching him carefully, he squatted down and looked closer.

The malnourished appearance did look like he had been hungry for many days, and it didn't look like he was pretending. The ship doctor also confirmed his condition.

I thought to myself, "It would be too expensive to act like this, it would starve people like this."

Looking at Chen Baiyue again, now he is talking to Zheng He. Although his face is a little more fierce, his expressions and actions are all like an authentic and simple fisherman.

"Then Mr. Zheng, you rest first, I will retire first, and tomorrow I will lead the way and take everyone to the sea to see."

"Then there will be labor Chen Qianhu."

Chen Baiyue got off the ship, and Zheng He sent people to guard the port. The people around the warship were all Zheng He's fleet.

"His Royal Highness, the port is already ours."

"Well, be careful."

……

Before Chen Baiyue left, she reached out and patted the boat, and looked at Zheng He's warship with admiration. The envy in her eyes almost turned into hatred.

When he returned home, several small leaders of the Zhoushan Guard had gathered in the room at this time. Everyone's expressions were different. Some had black faces, some stomped their feet in a panic, some poked their hands, and most of them were restless. Seeing Chen Baiyue coming back, they all surrounded him.

"Qianhu, what can we do?"

"Qianhu, will it be discovered?"

"What to do, what to do, the court blames us and we have to punish the nine clans."

"Zheng He is not a good person."

Chen Baiyue stretched out her hand to signal to be quiet: "Okay, be quiet, don't panic."

"Zheng He and the others should have received the Dongying embassy in Beijing to confirm that the words of the Dongying embassy are true. It'll be fine when that kid wakes up."

"It's still as thoughtful as you think, Qianhu. If you echo back and forth like this, who can detect something wrong? It's definitely fine."

Everyone was relieved, but as long as Zheng He's warships were still there, they would be restless.

People are most afraid of ghosts.

Chen Baiyue looked at everyone's gloomy mood and patted the table: "I, Chen Baiyue, take care of it when something goes wrong, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Qianhu, we don't mean it that way. Since everyone has done it together, everyone has something to bear."

At this moment, a grumpy fat man shouted: "What is there to be afraid of, it's better than having no soldiers and no food and having to be worried about by Japanese pirates."

"Qianhu, what should we explain to the Dongying people and the pirates now? Once Zheng He's fleet patrolled around and found them, it would still be the same."

Chen Baiyue thought for a while: "Inform them first at night, let them hide, and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Zheng He will leave after visiting for two days at most." Chen Baiyue felt that there must be no confrontation now.

"But there are only so many surrounding islands, where can they hide?"

"The people of Dongying are arrogant and arrogant. Bao may know that Zheng He is still deliberately provocative here."

Chen Baiyue thought for a while, and wrote a secret letter in the dark: "Send it to the people of Dongying tonight, and also to bring a message to Wang Baoyu. Don't act rashly, let them transfer to Zhoushan Island overnight."

"Thousands?!" Everyone was shocked by Chen Baiyue's decision.

The pirates who have been guarding against Japanese pirates for a lifetime, but now want to invite them to the island by themselves,

"Thousands, you have to think twice. It was to prevent them from going to the island that they agreed to be stationed on the outer islands, but if they go to the island, it will be difficult to invite them down." The older man thought Persuading bitterly.

Another person said: "But don't let them go to the island. Zheng He will visit the island tomorrow, and we will be complete when we find out. It is an expedient measure. Qianhu did the right thing."

Everyone was arguing, and there was a lot of discussion. The whole room was noisy. For a while, everyone was arguing, and there was confusion. Chen Boyue was about to explode.

砰

Chen Baiyue patted the table heavily, and everyone quieted down.

"Just do it."

Seeing that they were still talking, Chen Baiyue stretched out her hand to signal to stop arguing: "Do as I say, and follow the right."

"clear."

A figure left first, and set off overnight in a small boat. If you are a soldier who has fought at sea for many years, it is very dangerous to go to sea in such a dark night.

After arranging things, Chen Baiyue sighed with emotion: "Have you seen Zheng He's warship, give me two warships like this, and let those Dongying people show off their power?"

"Yeah, that warship is really majestic, and there are tiger cannons, just like a toy in front of it."

"Who said it wasn't, if we had this ship, we would still be bullied by Japanese pirates and pirates? I dared to go to Dongying." Several people thought about it.

"Okay, okay, stop bragging, what's the use of being awesome? If you don't give it to us, we can't afford it. With such a good ship and such a good army, it's not like watching us being robbed by Japanese pirates and not giving it to anyone. Don't give me money." Someone said with resentment.

Chen Baiyue glared at the man, and the man died, but as soon as he gritted his teeth, he became furious: "What's wrong with what I said, my father and my grandfather were killed by Japanese pirates, why didn't they send such a warship here? No soldiers will be dispatched, and they will all shrink to the Xiangshan area, what have we become, garbage?"

There were more indignant people. Chen Baiyue saw that the wind was not in the right direction, and tapped the table lightly: "One step counts as one step."

Everyone was silent, and then Chen Baiyue sighed: "I don't need to talk about it anymore, I made the decision, and it's me who is ashamed of my ancestors."

After the group of people dispersed, Chen Baiyue looked at the dark night alone, and the information rosters of all the personnel of the two thousand-household offices in Zhoushan were placed on the table: "The ancestors are on top, I, Chen Baiyue, just want to ask the people on Zhoushan Island. A way to live."

On a small island next to Zhoushan, a group of pirates were drinking heavily. A younger brother ran over to the big pirate Wang Baoyu and told him, "Boss, it's not good. The people from Zhoushan Island said that Zheng He is visiting the sea."

"Zheng He? Which Zheng He? The one who went to the West?"

"Yes sir."

Wang Baoyu scolded his mother, a man can bend and stretch, so he intends to run away. Zheng He's fleet is not something that pirates like them can fight against.

"Boss, Chen Baiyue asked us to hide on Zhoushan Island."

Wang Baoyu, who was just about to run away, had a puzzled look on his face, and turned to smile: "This kid really has a bad mind. He hasn't been on the island for so many years, but he was able to go up by accident. Quickly inform old man Yamamoto that we will land on the island."

The excited Wang Baoyu calmed down and said, "Also, notify the surrounding fleet, don't act rashly, don't approach, and wait for my news."

"Boss, there won't be any fraud, it's so easy to let us go to the island."

"Fuck him if there is any fraud, Chen Baiyue, the guy who gave birth to a son without an asshole, someone like him knew in the Ming Dynasty that what he did must be to punish the Nine Clan, he had no choice but to ally with us, and this kid's ingenuity is quite the same. It's not right, it's a bad breed."

……

Early the next morning, Chen Baiyue boarded Zheng He's warship with three baskets of fish in his hands with a smile on his face.

"Master Zheng, the fishermen on the island heard that you were here, so they got up early and went to the sea to catch some fish. We can't grow much food here, even if the fish is absolutely fresh, we brought some for you and the soldiers on board. Come."

They are all fresh sea fish, which can be simply cooked and seasoned. Zheng He originally wanted to call Zhu Zhanchang, but Chen Baiyue seemed to have some problems now. He didn't want to reveal Zhu Zhanchang's identity, so he didn't call him.

"Chen Qianhu, today there are laborers leading the way. Let's tour around the islands of Zhoushan."

"No problem, I'll lead the way." Chen Baiyue smiled heartily, although the scar on his head made him look a bit fierce, but his personality was a carefree and cheerful man.

When the boat started, Zhu Zhanchang woke up and rubbed his eyes.

"Chu'er, where are you going when the boat starts?"

"His Royal Highness, inspect the islands near Zhoushan Island and look for traces of Japanese pirates."

When I walked out of the room, I found that Chen Baiyue was also there. Zhu Zhanchang was still sleepy at first, but now the sea breeze blows and he is much more awake.

Chen Baiyue was amazed at the steam warship's speed and the steaming warship: "Zheng, what's the matter with Mr. Zheng? Is it on fire?"

"This is the latest warship, which can travel without wind and without people, and is much faster than the previous ships."

Zheng He ordered three steam warships to move forward at full speed to let Chen Baiyue feel it.

Chen Baiyue felt the speed of sailing that he had never had before, and the big ship that broke through the wind and waves made him yearn for it.

Men who make a living on the sea are most afraid and awe-inspiring of wind and waves. Such warships are not afraid of wind and waves, let alone pirates.

How much he likes that Zhoushan Island has such a few warships.

"My lord, such a warship must be expensive."

Zheng He smiled without saying a word, the warships were indeed not cheap.

The warship sailed on the sea and passed by a small island. Chen Baiyue introduced: "This island is not often visited by people. Occasionally fishermen will stop by the shore to rest overnight when they are late for fishing. There are some emergency supplies on the island. It will be replenished every two months.”

There are strong winds and waves at sea, and some fishermen encounter emergencies. Some small islands around Zhoushan Island will set up points to help fishermen. This is also the experience summed up from generation to generation.

I visited four islands in one day, but there were no traces of Japanese pirates. It was as calm as Chen Baiyue said, but Zhu Zhanchang and Zheng He did not believe this false scene.

Returning to Zhoushan Island, Zheng He sent Chen Baiyue off the boat and exchanged a few words.

After returning, Zheng He asked Zhu Zhanchang's opinion: "Your Highness, what do you think will happen next?"

"Continue to patrol in the name of patrol for two days, and wait until this member of the "Eastern Ying Mission" wakes up."

"Understood, Your Highness."

"By the way, why don't we go to Zhoushan Island to take a look tomorrow."

"His Royal Highness wants to land on the island?"

"I want to go have a look."

Zheng He was a little worried: "It's just that this Chen Baiyue looks a little wrong now. I'm afraid it's not good to go ashore."
