Jinyi Night Walk

In Hangzhou Bay, a group of officials nodded and bowed as they watched the huge fleet go away.

There are many big figures in the fleet, including Yang Xu, Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, and Xie Jin, the former chief assistant of the cabinet.

The escorting army was the Shuangyu officers and soldiers who moved to Tianjinwei with their families. The size of the fleet reached more than a hundred ships. The scene of a large ship is no longer enough to make them fuss.

The senior officials left after being flattered by the middle officials, and then the junior officials also left braggingly, and the remaining small officials of the Shibo Division were also preparing to leave.

"Look at the ostentation of the Duke of the State, the grandeur!"

"Hey, everyone has their own destiny, and I can't envy them. We little people have our little people's refreshment. You see, the new year is coming, not to mention that the further north you go, the colder the weather, the north wind alone is enough to see , they have to zigzag forward on the sea, if there is a big storm, how dangerous is that?

Back then when Japan was invaded by Japan, didn’t all the hundreds of boats be thrown there?There's no other way, I have to rush to Beijing before the Spring Festival, and it's not easy for a big man to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. "

"That's true, look at our superiors, they are usually the king of heaven and my son, and his second child. Well, when the officials in this mansion come, they all have to bow down with smiling faces. You see This time they go back, they have to eat and drink with them, and before they leave, they have to make their promises comfortable, it's better for us, there is no need to be so flattering."

"Tch, that's because you're a petty official's life if you flatter me!"

"Okay, you're here again! Go back early to buy new year's goods. It's Chinese New Year. We are small and poor, but during Chinese New Year we are the most comfortable and happiest. We don't have to rack our brains to think about what gifts to give to Shangguan, and we don't have to throw them away. Get off your wife and children to drink with others, if you like it, find a few friends to drink, or stay at home with your wife and children, comfortable!"

"Hahaha……"

Several petty officials joked with each other and walked away.

Shandong Peninsula.

As early as in ancient times, the ancestors of Shang Tang realized the connection with the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula through this place.

The Laiyi people in Jiaodong Peninsula were the first to master navigation and shipbuilding technology. During the Shaohao period, ancestors were active in this area. Emperor Mang of the Xia Dynasty once "hunted in the sea in the east and caught big fish." towards.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius once looked at the sea here and sighed: "The way can't be done, float on the sea...".

During the pre-Qin period, there was an endless stream of nautical activities to go overseas to search for the Sanshen Mountain. It was not until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty moved southward, and the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty that the navigation center gradually moved southward.

Over the past few years, several ports in Shandong have regained their prosperity. At this moment, there are more than 30 large ships moored in the harbor ready to sail.

"Peng Shaodong, it's snowing and winter, you still have to go sailing?"

Peng Ziqi and a few people were rushing towards the pier through the creaking snow, when they ran into some people who had just come out of the pier.

In winter, the port is depressed a lot, and there are not many people at the pier. These people who have just come out of the pier are also people who often trade here. Because they have limited financial resources and lack of ocean-going ships, they mainly trade with Japan and North Korea. .

When they saw Peng Ziqi, the young proprietor of the Peng family, they greeted him warmly.

"Oh, Boss Han, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Seeing someone coming, Peng Ziqi stood up, smiled and cupped his hands: "Hehe, our trip is not an ocean trip, isn't this my brother-in-law who wants to move his family to Beijing? No small deal. My father plans to bring some people to Beijing with my brother-in-law, and wait to set up a stall there."

"Oh, congratulations! Dai Shaodong, your brother-in-law is the Duke of the dynasty. If you have such a relative, what else can you say? When your Peng family establishes a foothold in Beijing, you have to help your brother." !"

Peng Ziqi laughed and said: "Boss Han, look at what you said, the folks in the big hometown, help each other, help each other!"

After some exchange, the two sides bid farewell, Peng Ziqi and his party rushed to the pier again, with the north wind howling, Peng Ziqi covered his mouth with a towel, and asked the person next to him, "When did the old man arrive?"

"Just arrived, the old man was losing his temper, so I hurried to find Shangdong."

"Lost tantrum? Because of what?"

"Isn't it because of Ximen's family..."

Peng Ziqi sighed and said innocently, "Can this be my fault? I didn't know he would come."

On the pier, on a big ship moored by the shore, old owner Peng was blowing his beard and staring.

Ximen Qing sat at the bottom with Erlang's tui crossed, drinking tea slowly, not taking him seriously at all.

Xiaodong's sister-in-law sat beside her pregnant daughter and whispered, while Nan Feifei was holding the little daughter in his arms and telling her a story.

Old Master Peng patted the table and said angrily, "Who told you to come?"

Ximen Qing looked indifferent: "Myself!"

"What about your store business?"

"I haven't been idle in the past few years. I have already sold out one after another in secret. The one who took over the most is Xie Laocai in Beijing!"

Mr. Peng's table beat louder: "You give your store in Shandong to Xie Laocai in Beijing, and then you go to Beijing to do business? Who believes this nonsense? Once it is found out, isn't it a big flaw?"

Ximen Qing spread his hands and said: So what if we find out?Where are they going to check on me? Don't I have a deep relationship with Brother Wenxuan, or do you think I am willing to give up my family and career? "

Old owner Peng turned his head bitterly: "I didn't bring your family's rations on board!"

Ximen Qing: "I can pull you down, old proprietor, you have such a big boat full of food, you think I don't know? Just a few members of my family? Besides..."

Ximen Qing said with a smile on his face, "Don't you need a doctor?"

Mr. Peng raised his head and said, "Unfortunately! We have all kinds of people from all walks of life. Can we use you?"

Ximen Qing rolled up his sleeves, and said proudly, "Is there anyone better than me in this woman's department?"

"You... you..., you are so mad at me!"

"I'm so angry that I can't cure it."

"You...you..., you are so angry that you killed the old man!"

"Ouch! The girl who just passed by in front of the cabin is from which family, she is so beautiful!"

"Ximen Qing!"

Xiaodong's sister-in-law and Nan Feifei raised their heads at the same time like a reflex, their willow eyebrows stood erect, and their phoenix eyes were murderous.

"Master, Mrs. Xizhu has arrived."

At the critical moment, Ximen Qing, the member of the Peng family, immediately jumped up and said in surprise, "Is your mother-in-law here?" Then he fled out...

New Year's Day.

The Great Ming looked down on all nations, Qian Xiao from all nations came to play plucked music, elephants lowered their trunks, and cloud-like smoke rose from the mouths of turtle- and crane-shaped incense boxes.

A grand and solemn guard of honor was lined up in the imperial palace. His Majesty the Emperor of Ming stepped into the Golden Palace with the grand ceremony of the Great Court Assembly.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor, nobles and ministers gathered together, and the always spacious and grand hall seemed a little crowded today, because it was full of envoys from all over the world.

The envoy sent by the son of the powerful King Timur who once occupied Central Asia and West Asia and threatened the entire West was the first to kowtow to Emperor Yongle, but because the Ministry of Rites had to teach too many national envoys etiquette, the teaching was not proficient enough The first kowtow was not up to standard, so Yuqian Neishi ordered him to kowtow again until he fell to his knees for the third time before being driven aside by Emperor Yongle.

The envoys of King Mancika knelt down because Daming not only allowed them to get rid of the control of the Siamese and establish themselves as a country, but also canonized their kings, and through the ports and many trading shops established by Daming there, they ensured their presence throughout Southeast Asia. status as a trading center.

The envoys sent by the King of Siam knelt down. Although they lost Managa, with the support of Daming, the Khmer and Chenla people no longer dared to openly fight with them. At the same time, they also gained many trade privileges.

The envoys of the king of Joseon knelt down. They had been relying on China. Their envoys obsequiously reported to His Majesty the emperor that the observatory they built on orders had been completed, and once again dedicated a group of Korean girls.

The Japanese king Ashikaga Yoshihiro who was enshrined by Daming also knelt. With the support of Daming, he successfully defeated his elder brother and inherited his father's power. Now that his father has passed away, he has become the most powerful person in Japan , and the stability of this power depends on Daming.

He Ning Wang Alutai knelt down, he has been living in Shenyang Wei now, he is only the leader of Tatar in name, the whole Tatar has been completely brought under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

King Shunning commanded both Tuboluo and Wala, and Tuotuobuhua also knelt down. Daming had already sent the first batch of officials to Wala, who had become so internalized that he could not continue. They needed to use their respect to His Majesty the Emperor Retain as much power as possible.

King Guli knelt down, and the news of the forty thieves making trouble in the palace made more and more countries feel that this piece of fat is easy to eat, and they need the protection of this powerful suzerain country.

The envoys from the Holy See and Tantra offered their blessings to His Majesty the Emperor, and the envoys from Europe were allowed by His Majesty the generous Emperor to kneel down on one knee and salute him in accordance with Western etiquette.

A tribal leader from Nuergandusi found that after the initial euphoria, his Majesty became absent-minded. He was always looking left and right, as if he was looking for someone or waiting for something.

Under the imperial steps, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was supported by a little maid, and accompanied his father to meet with the officials and Chinese and foreign envoys. On his left was the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji. Whispering in front of Ji.

Zhu Zhanji frowned and whispered, "Not here yet?"

Xiao Nei Shi said: "Yes, the servant girl just asked, but no news has been delivered yet."

Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "This Yang Xu, knowing that the sea road is not easy to travel in winter, didn't he go on the road earlier? He even delayed the emperor's grand ceremony. He really has no king and no father!"

Zhu Gaochi stood for a long time and broke out in a cold sweat. He vaguely heard his son complaining about something, so he turned his body slightly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly said, "Father, Yang Xu hasn't come back yet."

At this moment, another little lady hurried over and said in a hurry: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, Tianjin Port has sent news. I'm afraid... something happened to Duke Fu's fleet!"

Ask for a monthly ticket in the early morning, recommend a ticket!
