Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 409 407- Do you want to stay?
A few boats on the sea sailed towards Sanfo Qi with the wind and waves.

Second Sister Shi on the boat looked at the handsome young general from a distance, wrestling with the soldiers on the deck. She couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when she thought of the words she had scolded him all the time before, but luckily her complexion was dark, and no one would No redness could be seen in her face.

Speaking of which, she scolded her for two months, and some of her words were unavoidably unpleasant. Ordinary people may not be able to bear it, thanks to that little General Zhen who didn't care about it.

However, this little General Zhen is really hateful.

Among the men on the sea, there is no one who treats people like him.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the deck, and General Xiao Zhen won the wrestling, facing the sun with a smug smile, the sharp-edged smile was extremely bright.

Second Sister Shi curled her lips and murmured in a low voice: "Why didn't anyone come out, kill him with his vigor, let me be so proud."

……

Life on the ship is very boring. Most of the time they gather on the deck to have fun with each other, but the sea is not always calm, and sometimes they often encounter huge waves.

But the crew on this ship is always extremely calm.

Especially that little General Zhen.

As the days progressed, Second Sister Shi felt more and more that Little General Zhen was good. He seemed to be the pinnacle of the seafarers, and often a single sentence could make all the crew members work together.

Unknowingly, Second Sister Shi began to follow General Xiao Zhen every day.

She has seen that after the waves wet his clothes, he is not afraid of the cold, bare-chested, vigorously stirring the sail rope with the crew, and she has also seen him jump into the sea in sunny weather like a fish swimming happily .

She was curious and wanted to see more.

But Srivijaya has already arrived.

For the first time since she was a child, she felt that this flight was a bit shorter.

After getting off the boat, Second Sister Shi was in a low mood, and Xiao Qi came to her side at this time: "Hey, have you lost your soul? It's your territory, why don't you treat us well?"

Second Sister Shi gave Xiao Qi a blank look, but said nothing.

Xiao Qi said unhappily: "What do you mean, I raised you for two months with good food and drink, and now you are stingy?"

"Then I'll lock you up for two months too!" Second Sister Shi said angrily.

"Good guy." Xiao Qi stared and said, "How can you hold grudges so well? Come on, why don't I stay away from you?"

After all, Xiao Qi turned to look for other soldiers, and soon Xiao Qi chatted and laughed with other soldiers.

Second Sister Shi wanted to call Xiao Qi to stop, but she couldn't say it out. He watched Xiao Qi carelessly frolicking with a group of big soldiers, and she became even more angry for no reason, so Second Sister Shi didn't say anything. Without saying anything, he strode forward dully.

But she didn't know why, every time she talked to Xiao Qi, she couldn't help becoming a little irritable.

soon.

Second Sister Shi brought Xiao Qi to her home in secret, and that afternoon, Xiao Qi and Shi Jinqing had a secret discussion. Apart from Xiao Qi and Shi Jinqing, Second Sister Shi was the only one in this discussion.

Xiao Qi and Shi Jinqing had a heated discussion, so Second Sister Shi looked at Xiao Qi secretly. She watched Xiao Qi pointing out Jiangshan, saying that she was going to capture Chen Zuyi alive, and gradually her mind drifted away to nine days away.

as time flows.

The trade winds suitable for the return voyage of the Ming Fleet began to blow on the sea.

Zheng He had discussed with Xiao Qi before that when the trade wind came, they would anchor and set off for Palembang. Xiao Qi felt the sea breeze this day, and said to Shi Jinqing beside him: "The fleet will arrive at Palembang in a few days. , we should start now, if we miss the timing and allow Chen Zuyi to escape again, it will be bad."

Shi Jinqing nodded.

Afterwards, their fleet started to sail towards the designated location in the sea area. While letting the clippers inquire about the position of Zheng He's fleet, he adjusted their speed according to the position of Zheng He's fleet.

when they arrive at the location.

At this time, Zheng He led the fleet and had just arrived in Palembang.

Dozens of Chen Zuyi's ships in front of the sea area of ​​Palembang greeted them. Zheng He laughed when he saw this scene on the command ship. He generously put down the wooden boards and let Chen Zuyi's men board the command ship.

When Chen Zuyi and his group boarded the command ship, Chen Zuyi grinned grimly, drew out his knife, and roared, "Brothers, seize the ship, seize the treasure, and kill!"

All the pirates rushed towards Zheng He in a swarm.

At the same time, Chen Zuyi's dozens of ships also started a preemptive attack.

However, at the next moment, Chen Zuyi's surprised cry came from the command ship: "Fuck, it's been tricked!"

……

At this time, Xiao Qi was talking to Liao Yu and the others, and Second Sister Shi walked over pretending to be relaxed, she looked at Xiao Qi and said, "When you catch Chen Zuyi, are you going back to Daming? "

Xiao Qi grinned when he heard this: "Isn't it, is it possible that you have been floating in the sea for two years?"

Second Sister Shi snorted, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, I think you are capable. My father has praised you several times. How many people did you bring in Daming?"

"Thousands of people, what's wrong?" Xiao Qi asked.

"That's all?" Second Sister Shi couldn't believe it, and then she pretended to be casual and said, "Why don't you stay, I'll go and tell my father, let you take two or 3000 people, how about it? With so many more people, you have a better future than you in Daming."

Xiaoqi, Liao Yu and others were all stunned.

What did you just hear?
What is more promising than being in Daming?
"What? Am I wrong?" Second Sister Shi looked at Xiaoqi and the others with weird expressions, and frowned again: "Two to 3000 people are just the beginning, and you will definitely lead more people in the future, maybe Five thousand, 1 people is not out of the question."

1 million people.

There are only ten thousand people in Sanfoqi Sea.

Ten thousand is really a lot.

The corner of Xiao Qi's mouth twitched: "Well, did you leave Daming when you were very young?"

"I grew up in Sanfo Qi." Second Sister Shi said.

"No wonder." Xiao Qi said to Liao Yu and the others: "We have to understand this. I met a person from a small country last year. He said that the people on our fleet must be all people from our Ming Dynasty. The country can send 3 to [-] people to sea together."

Liao Yu suppressed a smile and said, "I understand."

Second Sister Shi knew that what they said was not good, she stared and said, "Who are you looking down on? Although I have never been to Daming, my father told me about it. I know that there are many people in Daming, but I asked my father on purpose. My father also told me that it is very difficult to get promoted in Ming Dynasty, from leading 1000 people to 1 people, it is as difficult as reaching the sky."

This is true, 1000 people are thousands of households, 5000 people are commanders, and 1 people have to be commanders of the capital.

It is obviously difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

But is Xiao Qi an ordinary person?
His family status is doomed, as long as he is not the kind of dude who fights cocks and walks dogs, he will definitely be able to reach the top level step by step.

Just like he has been promoted very quickly in recent years.

This is what it means to be a son of a lord.

Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said: "It may be difficult for other people to get promoted, but it may not be difficult for me. Even if my credit is not obvious, but if I follow the steps, I should be able to lead 8000 people in a few years."

"How is it possible." Second Sister Shi said in disbelief, and then she said angrily, "Even if you don't want to stay and look down on us San Buddha, you shouldn't be talking big."

Liao Yu couldn't bear it any longer at this moment, he held back his smile and said: "Miss Shi, you may not know that the eldest brother of our governor is the Duke of the Ming dynasty, the elder sister-in-law is the princess of the dynasty, and the third brother is Ning An Uncle, the brothers-in-law are also Lord Marquis, so it's really not difficult to get promoted, as long as you have qualifications and merits, no one would dare to hold you back."

In fact, Liao Yu was a little conservative.

Seniority and merit?
Naturally, someone would stuff it into Xiao Qi's mouth.

This startled Second Sister Shi: "You have such a background?"

Xiao Qi said politely: "Don't listen to their nonsense, it's just so-so."

Liao Yu said: "What's so-so." Then he said to Second Sister Shi: "Does Miss Shi know about Annan? Do you know who killed Annan's Li Jishou?"

"I've heard of this, it seems to be some kind of Zhao Guogong."

"Yes, it is Zhao Guogong, that is the eldest brother of our governor." Liao Yu was as happy as if Zhen Wu was his eldest brother.

"Ah?!" Second Sister Shi was completely shocked, and the next moment she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Compared with Xiao Qi, she turned out to be the one who came from an ordinary background.

At this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly became excited: "Stop talking, Chen Zuyi has escaped here." After speaking, Xiao Qi ordered the banner soldiers: "Notify the two wings, outflank it for me."

The bannerman quickly conveyed the order.

The two wings moved immediately, outflanking Chen Zuyi.

Xiaoqi's eyes flashed sharply and said: "Let our five ships hit me directly, and they will be destroyed if both losers. In addition, let people prepare rockets, and set them on fire when the time comes. Don't be afraid of burning yourself, no matter what the cost. , this time, Chen Zuyi must be captured alive."

"Yes."

Liao Yu and the others firmly responded, and immediately moved.

At this moment, Chen Zuyi only has five or six boats left on the sea, so Xiao Qi naturally has the capital to use this style of attack, because even if Xiao Qi and his team lose one to one ship, Xiao Qi and his soldiers who jumped into the sea can still be rescued. On the contrary, as long as Chen Zuyi and others fell into the sea after crashing Chen Zuyi's boat, they could only surrender and be exhausted and drowned.

The boat that Xiao Qi was on crashed into Chen Zuyi's boat at the fastest speed.

Even though Chen Zuyi and the others tried their best to control the boat to avoid it, they were still hit by Xiao Qi's tail, and the two boats also shook for a while.

However, Xiaoqi and the others quickly stabilized their boat again.

But Chen Zuyi's boat was hit by other boats before it stabilized.

The next moment, countless rockets also shot towards Chen Zuyi's boat.

This interception battle happened quickly and ended very quickly.

Soon.

Chen Zuyi, who was already on the run, had no chance of struggling anymore. His boat was either burned or smashed, and the people on board had to jump into the sea one by one just like dumpling in order to save their lives.

Xiao Qi cheered and shouted: "Chen Zuyi was captured alive for me, and I will return to Daming to present it to His Majesty to receive the reward."

When all the soldiers heard this, they all shouted in unison.

Chen Zuyi's men and horses in the sea floated on the water one by one, calling for surrender.

Soon, the soldiers found Chen Zuyi. They seemed to see a piece of gold ingot floating in the sea, they shouted excitedly to catch Chen Zuyi, and then tied him up alive.

Xiaoqi laughed.

In this battle, Ming completely wiped out the pirate group entrenched in this sea area, effectively guaranteeing Ming's right to speak in the sea, and also guaranteed unimpeded conditions for the future Western routes and the Maritime Silk Road.

……

After the battle, Xiao Qi led everyone, took Shi Jinqing and others to Palembang to meet Zheng He.

Seeing Chen Zuyi captured alive, Zheng He happily said hello, it was worth his effort to force Chen Zuyi to Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi really lived up to everyone's expectations and took the credit.

it is good!
In this case, in his lifetime, he will definitely be able to train Xiaoqi enough to support HNA's heavy responsibility. At that time, no matter how the government changes, as long as Zhao Guogong is around, no one can affect the fate of HNA.

In the next few days, Zheng He led his men to go ashore to wipe out the remaining pirates, and made some arrangements in Palembang before planning to embark on the return journey again.

This time, Shi Jinqing needed to go to the Ming Dynasty together to pay tribute and receive the reward. Shi Jinqing was worried that the Three Buddhas would not be stable, so he asked his daughter Shi Erjie to preside over everything temporarily.

Second Sister Shi was unwilling and wanted to go to Daming, but she finally nodded her head when she saw her elder brother's wimpy look.

When parting, Second Sister Shi found Xiaoqi again.

Second Sister Shi asked, "Don't you have no nostalgia for the ocean?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi said: "There are many, I like this feeling of exploration, and I also like the sea, such as the wind, the birds, and the sky, I like them all."

"Then what about our Three Buddhas?" Second Sister Shi said.

Xiao Qi looked at Second Sister Shi suspiciously: "You don't want to talk about you, do you?"

Second Sister Shi panicked: "No, don't think too much, we Sanfoqi also have a lot of fun, um...of course if, I mean if...you want to stay here and start a family, we Sanfoqi also have many skin colors fair girl."

Xiao Qi smiled heartily, her bright eyes shone brightly and said: "Really? That's really great, tsk tsk, it's fun to think about it." Afterwards, Xiao Qi's expression changed again, with a look towards Daming. Nostalgic said: "But... It's a pity that I have a wife, and I will get married this time when I go back. She has been waiting for me for so many years, how can I let her wait, or wait until we go to sea again, and then come to Sanfoji to play Bar."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qi glanced back at the treasure ship that was about to weigh anchor, and said to Second Sister Shi: "Okay, I should go, if you go to Daming later, I will definitely not be as stingy as you, and I will definitely treat you well. "

"That's what you said." Second Sister Shi raised her head and forced a smile: "I will definitely go to Daming in the future."

"Don't worry, you will never be able to eat me poorly."

"Then... have a good trip."

Xiao Qi nodded, turned around and ran towards the treasure ship. On the way, he didn't know who was laughing and scolding on the ship, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Only this time, Second Sister Shi inexplicably felt that Xiao Qi's smile was like a knife, and could stab her heart with pain.

……

The treasure ship finally set off slowly.

Second Sister Shi stood at the port until midnight before turning around and leaving. No one knew what she was thinking.

And Xiaoqi on the boat was chatting and laughing with his colleagues, he seemed not affected by the parting at all, just like everyone else, because he was going home soon, his expression was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Everyone laughed and told the interesting stories of this voyage, and also talked about how to make up for the regrets of these years after arriving in Ming Dynasty.

As we talked, I don't know who brought it up. Several people talked about ambition, and someone asked Xiao Qi, "Xiao Meng, what ambition do you have?"

"ambition?"

Xiao Qi thought for a long time, and thought of something: "I want to explore more places."

"That doesn't count, let's talk about fame and ambition."

Xiao Qi lowered his head and thought about it again, he pondered: "In this case, I want to lead troops to destroy the Wa Kingdom in the future."

"Why?" Someone didn't understand.

And someone said understandingly: "Indeed, the Japanese kingdom is very annoying, and Japanese pirates often harass our Daming."

Xiao Qi scratched his head and said: "I didn't think about it that much, but my elder brother doesn't like them very much, so I want to destroy the Wa Kingdom and my elder brother to show off one day."

"Then there is a chance to take me with you."

"Take me too, take me."

The echoes sounded again and again, carrying the dreams in the hearts of all the young people.

in may.

Zheng He's fleet finally saw the coastline of Guangdong, and they finally came back, not only with many treasures, but also with the kings and envoys of many countries.

And the people on the shore also saw the majestic Daming Fleet on the sea. The people on the shore cheered and reported it layer by layer. When the news reached the court and reached Zhu Di's ears.

Zhu Di was different from the celebrations of the courtiers and common people, but instead looked gloomyly to the north.

The east wind finally came.

The northern Mongolia, which is still a threat to the Ming Dynasty and always keeps its own way, is time to completely dispel their extravagant hopes of re-entering the Central Plains!
　Encountered some things, so the update time in the past two days is a bit unstable, please forgive me.
