Chapter 145 Arriving in Yunnan
  "Master Hua, please prepare a group of people and arrange them to Srivijaya and the old port. I don't believe Liang Daoming and the others."

Zhu Xuan stood on the deck and ordered: "You think of a way to disintegrate Liang Daoming and others from the inside, seize military power, and let the people of Sri Lanka only believe in our Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes!"

Hua Ying nodded.

But after hearing these words, he felt that this emperor's grandson was very special.

Not only did he dare to lead troops to fight and kill people, but when faced with so many corpses at the port, he did not panic at all and was very thoughtful. He knew that Liang Daoming and the others' submission was only a temporary measure and they were not serious about seizing power.

"I heard that this grandson of the Fifth Emperor is deeply loved by His Majesty and has such abilities. He is young but mature and stable, and has great potential!" Hua Ying was thinking in her heart.

He quickly put these thoughts aside for the time being and asked, "What should we do next?"

Zhu Xuan said: "I will return to Guangdong tomorrow, and then go to Yunnan to prepare for the war. You will make arrangements for Sri Lanka, and then help me write a memorial and send it to Grandpa Huang. Remember, this is our Ming Dynasty territory."

Hua Ying admired: "His Royal Highness the Fifth Emperor is the first emperor to expand the territory of our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xuan liked this title.

What he wants to explore is not just Southeast Asia and other places.

The journey is a sea of ​​stars!

"It's getting late."

Zhu Xuan walked into the cabin and said, "Master Hua, go and have a rest too!"

Hua Ying watched Zhu Xuan go back and then went back to her cabin to rest.

Zhu Xuan returned to the cabin.

Hou Xian and Zheng He first changed his clothes, then asked people to bring him hot water to soak his feet and relax, and finally had dinner.

“It’s a bit hard to eat!”

Zhu Xuan shook his head slightly.

On the shore and on the deck, he can be very calm, but he is pretending to be calm.

After all, there were so many corpses on the port, and the blood and wreckage were everywhere. It was a bit scary. Now that he had recovered, it was still a little uncomfortable. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Zheng He consoled him: "The little emperor is already very powerful. If it were anyone else, he would probably lie on the deck and vomit."

Hou Xian agreed: "The real battlefield is more terrifying than this."

They were captured on the battlefield and became eunuchs. They had come out of the battlefield and had seen the cruelty of the battlefield.

"That seems right. Forget it, you can take these down and eat them, and have someone make some porridge for me."

Zhu Xuan waved his hand and said.

They can only do so.

After he finished relaxing and had something to eat, Zhu Xuan began to think about Grandpa Huang, Uncle Twenty and his second brother again. Of course, he also thought about Sister Miaojin and Sister Yuanjun.

It is the first time to leave your loved ones and go to such a far away place. It is normal to miss you a little.

I fell asleep thinking about it.

the next morning.

As soon as Zhu Xuan got up, he received news that Liang Daoming and the others were already waiting under the boat.

Zhu Xuan met with them and told them that everything was business as usual, but some people would be arranged to enter Srivijaya, clearly telling them his distrust.

Liang Daoming said in fear: "Your Highness, please rest assured, since we have surrendered, we are the people of the Ming Dynasty and will never betray."

Zhu Xuan didn't completely believe what they said. He just nodded casually when he heard the words. However, how to put people in depends on Hua Ying's arrangements. After a few simple instructions, their ship set sail back to Guangdong.

"The grandson of the Ming Dynasty is not simple!" Liang Daoming looked at the retreating shadow of the Yingtian ship and said to himself: "If this grandson of the emperor can inherit the throne in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be stronger than it is now."

It was a good choice to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Jinqing didn't have many ideas. Now that Chen Zuyi was gone, this was what he thought was the best outcome.

-

After a long voyage, the Yingtian ship returned to the port of Panyu and landed.

Xu Qi got the news and came out to greet him again.

Zhu Xuan will not stay in Panyu for too long. This is just a small episode on the way to Yunnan. On the second day after returning to Panyu, the Yingtian ship set sail again, heading for Qinzhou.

Xu Qi had already arranged for people to rush to Qinzhou and notify the prefect of Qinzhou to be ready to deal with Zhu Xuan.

Some time passed.

The Yingtian ship landed at Longmen Port in Qinzhou.

The prefect of Qinzhou led a group of people to greet him. Zhu Xuan asked them not to be too grand, leaving 500 Jinyi guards and 100 Shenji battalion soldiers to guard the ship. The ship temporarily docked at Longmen Port, and the rest followed Zhu Xuan to Yunnan. go.

They traveled from north to south, and now they are preparing to enter Yunnan and Guizhou.

It was December, and the weather was getting colder and colder. When they were in Sriwijaya, they didn't feel cold at all, but here, with the cold wind howling, it was still quite cold.

Zhu Xuan and the others replenished enough supplies in Qinzhou, rested for one night, and then continued to set off. Worried that they would go the wrong way, they also asked the prefect of Qinzhou for some guides to lead the way.

Although Annan is on the edge of Qinzhou, including Guangxi, Zhu Xuan has no intention of taking action now. He will wait until he meets up with Mu Sheng.

Several guides led them over mountains and ridges, passed through the Chief Secretary of Guangxi, and walked for a long time before entering Yunnan.

It doesn’t snow in Guangxi, but when you enter Yunnan, the terrain gets higher and you can see a little snowflakes.

Fortunately it wasn't too cold, so traveling in the snow was not a big problem.

In late December, they finally arrived in Kunming, Yunnan Prefecture. After inquiring, they learned that Mu Sheng had not returned to Kunming yet, and the speed was too slow. However, Zhu Xuan led his troops to the city of Kunming, which instantly attracted the attention of the local guards. of attention.

Zhu Xuan directly took out the token given by Zhu Yuanzhang before getting in touch with the local military officer. He originally thought that the vassal state of his eighteenth uncle Zhu Zhen was in Yunnan. Back then, in the main hall, his eighteenth uncle also had a lot of food for him, so he could Go to Uncle Eighteen's palace to stay for a while.

But the officer told him that Zhu Chu's vassal state was in Minzhou, which was far away from here.

In desperation, Zhu Xuan could only discuss with the officers here and temporarily camp outside the city.

Everything waits until Mu Sheng comes back before entering the city.

Because the guards in Kunming don't seem to believe in themselves.

In particular, he brought soldiers here. Although he had a token, for the sake of Kunming's safety, it is normal and understandable for the officers here to be cautious.

"Please, Your Highness, please wait outside the city."

The officers here were quite polite and sent some things to keep out the cold, and also prepared enough meals.

Zhu Xuan also said politely: "Trouble!"

The camp was quickly set up and they lived in it temporarily.

"Hou Xian, take a few people into the city, buy some warm clothes and meat, and distribute them to all the soldiers. As long as there are not many people entering the city, we shouldn't be blocked."

Zhu Xuan arranged.

Hou Xian brought more than ten people into the city, and he would not stop them.

They were outside the city and waited until the first day of the first lunar month in the 34th year of Hongwu, the New Year's Day, before Mu Sheng came back. This shows how long the journey from Yingtian Mansion to Kunming is.

Due to the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times, Zhu Xuan felt that the railway must be built as soon as possible.
