Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 262 Returning again? I'm so excited!
In March of the 16th year of Yongwu, there was a awakening of insects.

Emperor Zhu Xiongying of the Ming Dynasty personally went to the Naval Governor's Mansion in Hangzhou and issued an imperial order, ordering 2,000 warships and 500 treasure ships to set off for Africa to expand African plantations in order to accelerate the economic development of the Ming Dynasty.

In the inner bay of the Hangzhou Navy Governor's Mansion, various warships were densely floating on the sea, directly covering the sea surface tightly and making it airtight.

The deck of each warship was filled with soldiers wearing armor and holding guns, some with manual rifles and some with newly developed manual rifles.

At a glance, you can tell that this is a steel division with extremely powerful combat power!

The most disciplined army, coupled with the most advanced and most lethal weapons, is the most powerful army in the world, or a war machine is more appropriate.

On one of the treasure ships is a tall and sturdy blue jade man. Behind him are Wei Guogong Xu Yungong and founding Duke Chang Sheng, two lieutenants. They are looking at the shore from a distance.

On the shore of the pier of the port, there were also dense crowds of people standing. The leader was Zhu Xiongying, who was admired by all the stars. Behind him were a number of local officials in Hangzhou. Cao Wei, as the most respected empress of the dynasty by Zhu Xiongying, Teachers are naturally among them.

A year ago, Zhu Xiongying sent an envoy to Africa to discuss with King Kitara.

What was discussed was that Ming Dynasty was going to increase its efforts to expand plantations in Africa. If it was to be accomplished to the maximum extent, the cooperation of the local people in power was indispensable.

All local officials in Hangzhou followed Zhu Xiongying's carriage and took the two people and their entourage all the way to the station, where the train was already waiting.

He basically knows all the major events that happened in the Ming Dynasty, and 90% of all inventions are related to him. However, without knowing it, when did the Ming Dynasty become like this?

"Grandpa Huang always taught me that people are born, old, sick and die. This is common sense in the world. Let us not be sad."

"You came?"

"Master," Zhu Xiongying said softly.

Zhu Xiongying came to Cao Wei's side at some point. He watched Cao Wei gazing at the fleet sailing away on the sea. He suddenly noticed that Cao Wei had a trace of white hair on his temples and suddenly had mixed feelings.

Although Zhu Xiongying said it with a smile, Cao Wei knew that he must feel uncomfortable in his heart, so he could only sigh in his heart...

"How is the old man's health now?" Cao Wei asked.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes.

There were only Zhu Xiongying and Cao Wei in the entire carriage. This trip to Hangzhou was also the first time they had not seen each other for a long time.

Zhu Xiongying held Cao Wei's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work on this trip to Hangzhou. Let's go back as soon as possible."

Last winter, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly fell seriously ill, which frightened everyone. Zhu Xiongying did not go to court for half a month, and stayed by Zhu Yuanzhang's side to take care of him day and night. The same was true for Cao Wei and his wife, who ran to the palace every day.

Cao Wei nodded, his heart filled with a layer of gloom.

"Wei Chen is terrified!"

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Xiongying and Cao Wei boarded the train one after another. All the officials below bowed and shouted:
"Best farewell to Your Majesty, and farewell to the Grand Master."

Zhu Xiongying wanted to go back to handle government affairs. Cao Wei parted ways with him in the palace and walked into the bedroom. Cao Wei signaled the palace maid to keep quiet and not to disturb Zhu Yuanzhang's rest.

His voice startled Cao Wei, who quickly reacted and saw Zhu Yuanzhang struggling to sit up, and quickly helped him.

"Did I disturb the old man?"

"set off!"

The distance between Hangzhou and Yingtian is not far, and Cao Wei and his wife arrived there in just one day.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "I just woke up."

As the most powerful country in the world at this time, Ming Dynasty was willing to sit down and talk with Kitara because he thought highly of him. If Africa and Ming Dynasty were not far apart, Zhu Xiongying didn't want to bother, and he could send troops with an imperial order.

Looking at the steel behemoths emitting black smoke from these chimneys, Cao Wei suddenly felt like he had returned to modern times.

"Okay, let's go back."

"It's all up to His Majesty."

Being taken care of by Cao Wei and leaning against the bed, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again:
"The army sent to Africa has already set off?"

The accompanying attendants escorted Zhu Xiongying back to the palace, and Cao Wei also followed him to Zhu Yuanzhang's palace, wanting to take a look at the old man who had worked hard for the Ming Dynasty all his life.

"Rumble..." All warships ignited their engines, and with the muffled sound of internal engines operating, they began to sail out of the bay in an orderly manner.

After this news came back to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying stopped hugging him completely and officially began to prepare to send troops to Europe.

"He also said that he has lived for such a long time, which is enough. It is not a loss."

When I came to Zhu Yuanzhang's bedside, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He was really old.

This time Zhu Xiongying sent a total of 400,000 troops, with more than 500 divine thunder cannons, and all the soldiers carried rifles that could fight at ultra-long distances!
These warships ride the wind and waves on the sea, like invincible sea monsters!
Even just standing on the shore and watching from a distance, Cao Wei felt... really majestic!
Cao Wei feels that he must be really old. Every time he watches Daming grow stronger, he sighs that all his hard work over the years has not been in vain.

Zhu Xiongying just waved to them, "As an official, don't let me down."

There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of Zhu Xiongying's mouth, "Now I can no longer move around freely. The imperial doctor said that I only have one year left at most."

The train started to move, and the scenery outside the window slowly receded...

Cao Wei looked at Zhu Xiongying who was becoming more domineering and decisive in every word and deed, and couldn't help but nod secretly. Zhu Xiongying is now a well-deserved hero.

Unexpectedly, King Kitala disagreed. In fact, seeing that Ming Dynasty was so rich, he wanted the lion to open his mouth, which meant that Ming Dynasty gave too little, and no agreement was reached in the two negotiations.

After several years of construction, Yingtianfu and the surrounding provinces have already laid the main railway tracks. Zhu Xiongying and Cao Weilai took the train and returned home.

With the unremitting efforts of all the palace doctors and private doctors, Zhu Yuanzhang survived that winter, but it also left serious sequelae. He was rarely awake every day and slept most of the time.

Cao Wei turned around, smiled and responded, "Your Majesty."

Now that King Kitara is so disrespectful, Zhu Xiongying is too lazy to talk to him anymore. The best diplomatic negotiation is war and artillery! Then let’s use our fists to do all the talking!
On the high platform, Zhu Xiongying gave a short swearing-in speech, and then ordered in a deep voice:

"Well, we set off from Hangzhou yesterday."

"Okay, let's let that Kitara country take a look and let him know that he can't mess with our Ming Dynasty."

"That boy Zhu Chu is also there?" he asked again.

"Zhu Chu has a plantation there and has experience in everything. He volunteered to help."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily after hearing this.
"This boy gave us a lot of headaches in the early years. Now that I have been with you for so long, he has changed a lot. Okay, okay..."

Before he said a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyelids began to become heavy again, and Cao Wei could only help him lie down again, and then left the palace.

All the way back to Cao Mansion with mixed emotions, Cao Wei saw his son Cao Lin and Zhu Baowen facing each other, talking in the corner of the gate.

After Cao Wei approached, he coughed slightly, and the two people quickly stopped talking.

"Father," Cao Lin called back. "Hello, Uncle Cao," Zhu Baowen also called sweetly.

"Now that you're here, why don't you go in and sit down? What are you doing standing at the door?" Cao Wei asked cheerfully.

"Come on, come in and talk..." Cao Wei said as he introduced the two people into the house.

Zhu Baowen is a girl who is not afraid of anything, and she doesn't listen to her father Zhu Chu at all.

She once said that no matter what she did, Zhu Zhen was her father, so she didn't need to care about Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Ming wanted to vomit two pounds of blood after hearing this, but he could do nothing about his precious daughter.

When she arrived at Cao's house, Zhu Baowen became a good girl. She wanted to be as obedient as possible. In her words, that means she liked Cao Lin, so she had to use various methods to tie Cao Lin up. Naturally, she had to be nice to him. Be good to Cao Wei and his wife, otherwise Cao Lin will find another woman.

As Cao Lin and Zhu Baowen have reached the age of marriage, Cao Wei is also planning to wait for Zhu Zhen to come back next time to settle their marriage...

Time passes day by day, and half a year flies by in the blink of an eye.

A telegram came back from Europe. As mentioned above, Lan Yu led the army. After arriving in Africa, he pushed all the way and defeated Kitara.

King Kitara panicked and asked for help from the nearby European power Sun and Moon Kingdom. Zhu Di sent someone to take a look and found that he and Lan Yu were directly on the same front. King Kitara fainted on the spot.

After waking up, he said nothing else. Lan Yu agreed to all the conditions, and even hoped to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, not to mention Zhu Di's Sun and Moon Kingdom, with the troops brought by Lan Yu, it can easily sweep across the African continent, clearing out and replacing all countries, large and small.

It's just... Africa is indeed a good place with abundant water and grass, but those African natives... neither Cao Wei nor Zhu Xiongying wants to have anything to do with them.

If Africa were completely conquered, wouldn't those African natives also become Ming people in some way? Hundreds of years later, will they buy it for zero yuan in Ming Dynasty?
Cao Wei thinks that this plantation model is quite good...

When the news of the successful capture of Africa came out, the court celebrated with joy. They had some understanding of the interests of African plantations. Now that it was becoming popular, it meant that another wave of great wealth was coming to the Ming Dynasty, and they could also taste some of the benefits. .

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he felt much better after hearing the news. He was awake for a quarter of an hour longer than usual that day.

While Cao Wei was happy, he suddenly discovered that the timer in his mind that he had not paid attention to for more than ten years was suddenly dead again.

I saw the countdown start to flash red, with words changing on it.

[Host behavior has reached its limit]

[Countdown to return recalculated]

[Countdown to return: 11 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds]

Cao Wei looked at the dazzling red timer, almost breaking his defense, and cursed in his heart.

"You fucking do it again!"

"Back then I wanted to go back, but you gave me a 10,000-day salary increase. Now that I'm married and have a baby, I'm almost getting old, and you asked me to go back again. I'm so excited!"

Cao Wei's face turned red, his cheeks bulged, and he gritted his teeth!

If he were allowed to return to modern times sixteen years ago, he would be very happy. After all, he is a modern person, and the technological era can bring him more happiness and a sense of belonging.

But now, he is married and has children, and has a strong relationship with everyone. Isn't it an act of an animal to let him leave his family here?
Is he willing to leave Zhu Hanming now?

Are you willing to leave your son Cao Lin?
Are you willing to leave your daughter Cao Yin?
Ten thousand people are reluctant to part with it!

"Blanch! Dredge! Dredge!"

Cao Wei punched the table hard, startling Xie Jin and others who were following him in doing data calculations.

Seeing Cao Wei's face looking ugly and gnashing his teeth, Xie Jin couldn't help but asked worriedly:

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Cao Wei pulled a face and waved his hand, "It's okay, you go on, I'll go and relax."

Cao Wei walked out of the room in despair, and everyone in Xie Jin was confused.

After spending so many years with Cao Wei, they have never seen Cao Wei lose his temper like this.

Here, Cao Wei left the scientific research institute and wanted to rush home, but as he watched the timer in his mind beating minute by second, his pace slowed down again.

But within three seconds, he quickened his pace again...

In the courtyard of Cao Mansion, Zhu Hanming was holding a gorgeous paper flower in his hand and was playing with little Cao Yin in the courtyard. Suddenly, he turned around and saw his husband standing in the corner of the courtyard looking at them with complicated eyes.

Zhu Hanming's heart twitched, and he felt slightly sour, and he lost the mood to continue playing with Cao Yin.

She had never seen Cao Wei show such an attitude before, as if she would not see Cao Wei soon.

Zhu Hanming walked up to Cao Wei with the paper flowers in his hand, frowned and asked loudly: "What's wrong? Why did you come back so early today? It's not yet noon."

Cao Wei suppressed the emotions in his heart and grinned: "It's okay. There isn't much business at the Research Institute today. I just saw that my friend's wife is still so gorgeous. I have gray hair on my temples. Isn't this sad?"

"Pfft," Zhu Hanming laughed and put her finger on his chest.

"We are an old married couple, and we are not ashamed to say these glib words."

"Daddy," little Cao Yin also walked over in small steps, opened her hands and let Cao Wei hug her.

Cao Wei bent down and held her in his arms, kissing her on the cheek.

"My wife is so beautiful, and my daughter will definitely be even more beautiful in the future."

Little Cao Yin heard that Cao Wei was praising her, she smiled and said with a sweet voice: "Daddy, you have a beard."

Zhu Hanming took Cao Yin from Cao Wei and walked aside.

"Since you're not busy today, don't go out when you get back. I'll go cook and just wait a while."

Cao Wei nodded heavily, watched Zhu Hanming's figure go away, and then looked at the timer in his mind.

[Countdown to return: 10 hours, 50 minutes and 32 seconds]

"I can't bear to part with it, I really can't bear to part with it..."

ps: Because of some things, this book is basically coming to an end.

Originally there were some plots later, but life is always full of regrets. This book cannot be written for too long, but I will try my best to give everyone a good ending.

Here, I would like to thank the brothers who have come along the way! See you tomorrow.
