Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 458 Ask King Zhou to go to Golden Continent to catch birds for him!
After Zhu Yunxi had fooled Lao Zhu, he led his men to the Jing Navy barracks and brought that uncle Zhu Xi over.

"Second Uncle, what on earth do you want to do? Do you have to force me to throw you into the sea!"

Zhu Xi was gnawing on a big cake, and when he heard this, he looked dazed.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You threw me on board, why do you want to torment me?"

"Why did you send someone to talk to Grandpa Huang..."

"Wait, how did you contact me to send you a letter?"

As soon as Zhu Xi heard this, he immediately shut up, turned his body away, and stopped talking to Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi hurried to ask the captain, and only after inquiring did he find out that that bastard Zhu Yunxi had visited a few days ago.

"Reporting to Your Highness, His Highness the Fourth Emperor must board the boat to see his second uncle, and the lowly officials can't stop him!"

"Then why don't you tell Gu earlier, so that Gu can prepare earlier?"

"The grandson of the Four Emperors didn't let us speak, saying that if we did, he would throw our family members into the moat and drown..."

"This bastard is getting worse and worse!"

"Go and do your work first. Anyone who wants to get on the boat will be stopped in the future, and no one will be allowed to come into contact with Zhu Xi!"

"promise!"

Zhu Yunxi dismissed the captain, and returned to Zhu Xi's high-class room on the ship.

Although Zhu Yunxi asked Zhu Xi to experience life on the ship, he did not treat him too harshly, at least in terms of accommodation conditions, the captain's room was not as spacious as his.

However, even though the best room on the ship has been given to Zhu Xi, it is far different from Zhu Xi's original palace, which makes Zhu Xi feel like being driven into the dust.

When Zhu Yunxi came to Zhu Yu's room, Zhu Yu was covering the quilt and pretending to be asleep. He didn't want to betray Zhu Yunxi, the only good nephew who could inform him!

"Second Uncle, can't you calm down?"

"As far as what you did, if I don't kill you, it's considered family affection. Don't force me to really kill you!"

Zhu Xi threw off the quilt abruptly, and looked at Zhu Yunxi sternly.

"you dare!"

"If you dare to kill me, your grandpa will definitely turn against you!"

Zhu Yunxi rolled his big eyes nonchalantly.

"Of course Grandpa Huang will turn against me!"

"But at best, Grandpa Huang beat me up and ignored me for a while. Do you still expect Grandpa Huang to depose me for such a waste like you, or kill me to avenge you?"

"This……"

Zhu Xi was directly speechless by Zhu Yunxi's straightforwardness.

What made him speechless the most was that what the grandson said was true!
With the old man's heart, it's really just a beating and it's over. It's unrealistic to expect the old man to avenge himself.

"Zhu Yunxi, what on earth do you want!"

"Is it necessary to throw the second uncle into the sea to die?"

"If I really died at sea, wouldn't you be distressed, feel guilty, or feel uncomfortable?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded honestly.

"If you don't feel uncomfortable, you should eliminate harm for the people."

"Thinking about the sins you have done in Xi'an these years, I think the people of Xi'an will appreciate me, hehehe..."

"I……"

Zhu Xi defended himself angrily.

"I just did what every feudal lord would do, so why blame me only!"

"Your third uncle has done so few crimes?"

"He was also the local emperor in Jinyang. He beat and scolded officials frequently, and raised taxes on the people at will!"

"And your fourth uncle, your fifth uncle, none of them are good birds!"

"They didn't do anything to me!"

"Didn't touch you?"

Zhu Xi smiled coldly when he heard the words.

"Don't talk about your third uncle, he is your father's servant, and he won't do anything to you even if he dies!"

"As for your fourth uncle and your fifth uncle, hehe, they have never stopped making small moves behind their backs!"

Zhu Yunxi said indifferently.

"I know, but the two of them together don't have as many tricks as yours, so, in order to solve your troubles, you have to go to sea to experience!"

"It's your good fortune to come back alive. If you die at sea, you've died for Daming!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was talking about this, Zhu Xi could not avoid this ocean voyage, so he couldn't help but resigned to his fate and talked about the conditions.

"If I come back alive, you are not allowed to pursue what happened to me before!"

Zhu Yunxi finally agreed without hesitation.

"can!"

"You still have to restore my title as King Qin. I don't want to compete with my son for a place. You can redesignate me a piece of land in Daming to be the prince!"

Zhu Yunxi gave him big eyes when he saw that Zhu Xi was so aggressive.

"You think beautiful!"

"In this way, you have two princes in the line of King Qin, what do you want other uncles to think?"

Seeing Zhu Yunxie mercilessly exposing his petty thoughts, Zhu Xi could only smile awkwardly with his smiling face.

"If you think this is too greedy, how about second uncle?"

"Second Uncle went out to sea with the crew these days, and heard a lot of secrets overseas. It is said that there are unowned wastelands overseas, and the new continent we are going to is even more wild, and the people there are still slash-and-burn."

"If you can give Second Uncle a piece of overseas land, and then immigrate to the Ming Dynasty for Second Uncle, let Second Uncle be king there, hehehe..."

Zhu Xi had broadened his horizons these days, knowing that he couldn't survive in Daming, so he began to think about ways out.

Zhu Yunxi tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally nodded with difficulty.

"This matter is negotiable..."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi agreed to his request, Zhu Xi jumped off the bed happily.

He has been demoted to a commoner, and now he is even reduced to a prisoner. If he can really become a king overseas, it will be a turnaround.

As everyone knows, his request hit Zhu Yunxi's heart. The reason why Zhu Yunxi let him go to sea with him was to let him see the outside world, and then come back to fool the vassal king of Ming Dynasty to go overseas to build a country.

Although this national policy is good, but in reality, the vassal kings of Daming would not go to lands other than Daming. They have an inexplicable fear of unknown lands. Even North Korea, which is only across the sea from Daming, they all unwilling to go.

Only a desperate person like Zhu Xi would have such thoughts.

Of course, all this has to wait for him to experience overseas conditions and return from overseas alive.

"Zhu Yunxi, Second Uncle has another request..."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately turned against Zhu Xi.

"Second Uncle, don't talk about it, I haven't decided whether to agree to your going overseas to become a vassal king, you..."

"Second Uncle means to find a companion..."

"I think Zhu Di, King of Yan, is quite dishonest. Leaving him in Daming will definitely cause trouble for you. For the sake of Daming's safety, you should pack him up and send him on board. At least you have a company with me." !"

"This matter..."

Zhu Yunxi smiled gratefully at Zhu Xi.

"Second Uncle's proposal is not bad, this is what an elder should say!"

Zhu Xi was praised by Zhu Yunxi, and smiled triumphantly.

"You're such an asshole for being your second uncle. The reason why I opposed you before was simply because I didn't like you and felt that you were not worthy of inheriting the throne of Ming Dynasty."

"Now that I am hopeless, I naturally have to drag someone into the water who I despise even more!"

"I don't want to drift on the sea for a few years, and when I come back, I find that Zhu Di has become the emperor. In the end, I have to bow down to him!"

After Zhu Yunxi heard this, he didn't know whether to praise Zhu Xun for his vision, or to praise him for harming others and benefiting himself.

According to the normal development of history, if he really lived to a few years later, he would really have to bow down to Zhu Di.

However, his reason is also in line with his usual style. Doesn't he like to do things that hurt others and benefit himself?

"Fourth Uncle is a bit troublesome. At present, the Youyan generation has to rely on him to guard, but Fifth Uncle is idle. His Kaifeng fief is originally an important place in the Central Plains, so there is no need for him to do anything. I can send him to the sea for you. Play with you..."

"That trash of the fifth brother, apart from being able to read a few sour words, he's not good at drinking, playing with money, etc. Isn't it too boring?"

"will not!"

"Even if he doesn't know it now, can't you still teach him?"

"It will take a few years at sea. You can teach him slowly, and you will always be able to teach him!"

"Okay then, let's be fifth."

"However, you still have to be wary of your fourth uncle. I am different from your fourth uncle. If I rob you of the throne, I will definitely give you prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life. After all, your father and I were born of the same mother. We are A real family."

"Your fourth uncle is different from us. If your fourth uncle robs you of the throne, he will do everything possible to kill you!"

"Let me tell you, your fourth uncle is very narrow-minded, and he has low self-esteem when he was young. Don't look at the superficial appearance, but he is very sinister in his heart. You have to be on guard against him..."

"The throne of our Zhu family can only flow through your grandma Guo, and must not be succeeded by outsiders!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard these words, he was really touched. This second uncle of his family was a bit of a waste, but he finally said a few human words.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"In addition, I would also like to thank you on behalf of Fifth Uncle..."

Zhu Yunxi got off the ship, returned to the palace and was busy with the global fleet going out to sea.

This is easy to say, but very troublesome in practice.

Because it is a round-the-world voyage, it will take at least one and a half to two years on the road. No matter it is food, clothing, housing, and transportation, it must be comprehensive, and even the new doctors trained by the medical school have to bring a few.

There is also the testing of new ships and the maintenance of old ships.

The flagship going to sea this time is the new ironclad ship of the Ming Dynasty, which uses a brand new steam power plant.The rest of the ships are the most advanced wooden sailing structure, but all the key parts are replaced with iron frames, which greatly stabilizes the hull.

Compared with the shabby voyage in another time and space, the round-the-world voyage prepared by Ming Dynasty this time can be described as super luxurious. The weapons and ammunition it is equipped with can almost wipe out any coastal country in the current world.

Even so, Zhu Yunxi still felt that it was not enough, for fear that people who sailed around the world would get sick at sea or have any accidents.

Therefore, he prepared meticulously for another two years, not only establishing various supplies along the way, but also preparing a very precise map and the most advanced measuring equipment for the circumnavigation fleet.

Just to train these people, he spent a lot of time, and let them sail along the already proven routes to accumulate sailing experience.

Even after doing all this, Zhu Yunxi still felt unsafe, and had to wait until something like a transmitter came out before starting the long voyage.

In short, Zhu Yunxi tried every means to reduce casualties and reduce the loss of Ming Dynasty's first round-the-world voyage.

Before the spring of the 27th year of Hongwu, all the preparations for the circumnavigation of the world are ready, ready to set sail at any time.

On this day, Zhu Yunxi took Ma He to visit Daming's first steam-powered ship, and asked Ma He what other requirements he had.

"Ma He, this voyage is the first of its kind. Once you succeed, your name will be recorded in the annals of history, which is no less than that of Sima Qian in the Han Dynasty."

"I'm about to leave now. If you have any requirements, just ask, don't have any scruples."

"As long as Daming can satisfy you, Gu will try his best to satisfy you!"

Hearing this, Ma He quickly knelt on the ground respectfully, and solemnly bowed three times and bowed nine times to Zhu Yunxie.

"Your Highness, your kindness to Ma He is already as high as heaven and earth, how dare Ma He raise any more conditions?"

"If it wasn't for you, Ma He would never be reunited with his elder brother and younger sister in this life. You also married the slaves' brothers, arranged errands for them, gave them a big house to live in, and let them adopt their first child to me. I don't have any wishes anymore..."

Zhu Yunxi patted Ma He on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

"You have to!"

"You haven't conferred your wife and son, you haven't conferred a marquis or prime minister yet!"

"Your physical disability is a pity of the times. This solitary cannot satisfy you, but other than that, all the honors that normal people should have are not stingy!"

"Although Gu has made sufficient preparations for this long voyage, the sea is vast and the wind and waves are boundless. No preparation is perfect. You still sail with your head in your head..."

"Gu is here to make a promise to you, as long as you come back alive, Gu will give you the title of Marquis!"

Ma He was shocked when he heard this. Even a great man like Sima Qian had never been a marquis in his life.

Now that the grandson of the emperor wants to confer a title on such a eunuch as himself, this is simply...

Although this title is to be exchanged with one's life, which of those people in Daming who have the title did not risk their lives for it?

If we talk about parallel imports, probably only Erhu, the sycophant earl, has some water, right?
"Your Highness..."

"The servant is just a person who has been sentenced to death, but a lowly servant, how dare he covet the title..."

Zhu Yunxi shook his head and looked at Ma He encouragingly.

"There is no need to refuse, as long as you can complete the mission and come back alive, it is not too much to confer you a duke."

"I'm sorry to give you only a Marquis!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to help Ma He up, and pulled him to visit on the deck while talking about the strange thoughts in his mind.

"The sea is rough and the sea is rough. In principle, our ship is definitely enough, but Africa...that is, the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of Kunlun State is still a dangerous and dangerous place."

"So, when sailing here, still be careful..."

"Besides, don't worry about my second uncle. If he dares to make trouble on the boat, you will be shut down as you should. Don't worry about my face."

"I will send another person on the boat to accompany my second uncle. Just pretend you didn't see him. No matter who he says he is, don't believe him..."

"promise!"

"Slaves promise to treat everyone equally!"

"Another point is to kill less people along the way. As long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to provoke us, we don't need to destroy the country."

"You have to remember that we want to bring civilization, equality, freedom, etc. to people all over the world, not killing, cannons, guns..."

"But there are a few places we have to, and no one can stop it!"

Hearing this, Ma He nodded in agreement.

"My servant saw on the chart that one is between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and the other is the narrow area between the Atlantic Ocean and our Daming Ocean. Your Highness means to build artificial canals in these two places so that the oceans on both sides can communicate with each other. It is convenient for ships to travel together.”

"Yes!"

"There are also straits along the road, as well as other important supply locations, which must be marked for the isolated and guarded when necessary."

"Our Daming's population is too small now, and we can only occupy these strategic points. After we develop for a few hundred years, we will be able to emigrate in large numbers overseas."

"promise!"

"The servant girl must live up to His Highness's trust, and must be a good pawn for His Highness..."

While the two were imagining the future on the boat, a group of black-clothed robbers broke into the Prince Zhou's Mansion in Kaifeng.

They broke into the palace without saying a word, went straight to King Zhou's bedroom, dragged him off the bed, stuffed him into a sack and took him away.

Concubine Feng of Zhou yelled like crazy, but to everyone's expectation, the guards and servants in Zhou Wang's mansion seemed to have not heard, they were still busy with their own things, and no one even stopped this group of strong people when they went out. one time.

Afterwards, Mrs. Feng went to the Kaifeng government office to sue, but the government office only accepted her complaint, and then there was nothing else.

The Feng family had no choice but to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, and to Chang Sen, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei who was far away in the capital, asking him to ask someone to find out the whereabouts of King Zhou.

Chang Sen took the letter and set it on fire after reading it.

He led people to do this, how could he have the face to reply to the letter?
But Zhu Yunxi's child is also true, he is too small-minded, isn't he just buying other people's birds, and they didn't sell him, and he has held a grudge for such a long time!

It took so much effort to capture King Zhou just to let King Zhou go to Huangjinzhou to catch birds for him!
This is too absurd!

After Chang Sen burned the letter, he went to Jin Yiwei's secret prison.

Since Jin Yiwei had to be responsible to two masters at the same time, two prisons were naturally set up inside Jin Yiwei.

One set is specially designed to deal with the old emperor and meet the various requirements of the old emperor.The other set is only responsible to the emperor's grandson, and only locks up some people who are against the emperor's grandson.

Because King Zhou's status is too special to let too many people know that he is here, Chang Sen often comes to deliver meals to him in person.

"Chang Sen, you traitor, how long are you going to lock me up!"

"King Zhou, don't worry, hurry up, you will be able to go out soon..."

"Humph!"

"When the king goes out, I must read your book heavily. Kidnapping the vassal king and detaining him without reason is a serious crime against the nine clans!"

Chang Sen couldn't help muttering when he heard the threat.

"Hi!"

"I think so much, let's see if I can come back alive..."

Zhu Huan, who was eating roast chicken, was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this.

"what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I'm just talking casually..."

"But I heard that there are many big green luan birds in that place. If you can catch a few of them, you will be prosperous, hahaha..."

　I was sick again, my mind was dizzy, I coughed and sneezed constantly, and I really felt incomprehensible.

　　After these two months of tossing, the only thing I am proud of is that I have never used a leave note.

　　But the quality has really plummeted, sometimes I want to slap myself a few times, rub it!
