Daming: From the end of Hongwu

In the third year of Yongle, Zhu Di re-opened the shipping department. First, Laiyuan, Anyuan, and Huaiyuan were established in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong. Yuntun set up a Shibo Department, planning to specialize in tribute envoys to the southwestern countries in the future.

The capital also set up a joint hall to house envoys from various countries. At the same time, it also set up a Siyi hall to train and house translators from various countries.

Therefore, Zhu Di is well prepared for exchanges with other countries.

Now Zheng He is back.

These preparations can also come in handy.

It is worth mentioning that in later generations, the Shipping Department of Daming City has never been closed, but Zheng He's voyages to the West were stopped. What is even more ridiculous is that some people tried their best to advocate the sea ban in order to prevent the imperial court from exporting goods. When the royal family strictly controlled the sea ban, a group of pirates and Japanese pirates jumped out to prevent the royal family from strictly controlling the sea ban.

As a result, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, pirates and Japanese pirates were always a problem that could not be suppressed.

In a word, not only do people not want the royal family to play, they also have to prevent the royal family from flipping the table.

Benefits.

It seems that even now, there are always capitalists who unite, even fanning public opinion, and kidnap some policies of the imperial court, so as to satisfy their purpose of earning huge profits.

They don't care whether the imperial government's policies are good or bad, and they don't care what kind of suffering the people are suffering.

What is even more frightening is that the public can only be dragged forward like lambs in the lake amidst these true and false information.

……

When the envoys from various countries on the Zheng He fleet saw the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, they all exclaimed. They couldn't help thinking in their hearts that there really is such a prosperous country in the world.

And the common people of Ming Dynasty who watched the excitement, when they saw the envoys from various countries, they also exclaimed one by one.

Young man, is this a human or a monkey?How can there be such a black person.

Look, there are even blue eyes.

Hey, hey, there are girls with good figures among the barbarians, but I don't know...

……

Because of Zheng He's return, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be infused with a sliver of vitality, which made people who were a little numb to life rekindle their love for life.

In July.

Zheng He and his party finally arrived at Taicang, Zhili after stopping and stopping. When the treasure ship berthed, Zheng He took the envoys on the fleet and changed to a small boat from the Yangtze River to the capital.

On this day, many officials had already come to the shore to welcome Zheng He and the others to disembark by boat. In addition, there were many onlookers here, which made this place extraordinarily lively.

At this moment, in a restaurant that had long been emptied of other guests, Zhen Wu was standing on the second floor, looking at the shore from afar.

He was a little excited.

I haven't seen him for a few years, he really doesn't know what Xiao Qi will look like now.

Taller?strong?Or there may have been some changes beyond Zhen Wu's expectations.

Zhen Wu waited with anticipation.

Cheng Liang was also very happy and excitedly went to the shore to wait for Xiaoqi and the others. When Zheng He got off the boat and greeted the officials, Cheng Liang stared at Zheng He with wide eyes.

He saw Dunzi first, and shouted happily: "Dunzi, Dunzi."

Dunzi saw Cheng Liang from a distance, and a smile appeared on his face, but just as he was about to go to find Cheng Liang, he realized in the next moment that his identity was different now, and he was no longer the one next to the Duke. Deputy Qianhu is now, and he is now the Commander of the Central Battalion in the Zhengxi Fleet, with his own responsibilities. …

He gestured to Cheng Liang, saying that when he was not busy, he went to drink with Cheng Liang and the others.

Cheng Liang smiled and nodded, and then he found Xiao Qi who disembarked behind the pier, Cheng Liang shouted quickly, when Xiao Qi saw Cheng Liang, he knew that Zhen Wuding was nearby, and immediately wanted to rush desperately past.

But the next moment, like a prick, he stopped in his tracks, with a look of embarrassment appearing on his face.

After seeing this scene, Dunzi said to Xiaoqi: "Go, I will inform the general in a while, and as for your troops, I will take care of them for you."

"Really? Then I will really go."

"Go, the Duke is nearby, don't make the Duke wait." Dunzi said.

Xiao Qi nodded excitedly, left the crowd behind, and rushed towards Cheng Liang. Before he reached Cheng Liang's side, a voice rang out: "Brother Cheng Liang, where is my elder brother?"

Cheng Liang stretched out his hand and pointed at the restaurant.

Xiao Qi looked over and saw Zhen Wu standing tall and straight on the second floor, looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

He jumped up excitedly and cheered, then walked straight to the restaurant.

Zhen Wu looked at the figure of Xiao Qi running over, and the smile in his eyes became wider. He hadn't seen Xiao Qi so happy for a long time, and the last time he saw it seemed to be a pony brought back to Xiao Qi from Liaodong.

The little pony is a mare, and Xiao Qi has been proud of it for a long time among his friends.

There was the sound of Dongdongdong going up the stairs.

The handsome Xiao Qi appeared at the stairs, Zhen Wu looked at him as if he saw himself when he was young, he waved, Xiao Qi quickly came to Zhen Wu's side, excitedly said: "Brother, I'm back, these few days I miss you so much this year."

Zhen Wu patted Xiao Qi on the head: "It's grown taller and stronger, but it's also darker."

Xiao Qi smiled foolishly and said, "It's always going to be dark at sea."

"The black spots are fine too, they look calm and powerful." Zhen Wu said with a smile.

Xiaoqi nodded, and then asked: "What about my sixth sister, why didn't she come to pick me up, and my eldest nephew, I found a lot of weird things for him, I'm sure he can play for a long time, if he can't greasy."

"Your sixth sister is married, Duke Ding Xu Jingchang." Zhen Wu said.

The voice fell.

Xiao Qi was stunned, and the next moment Xiao Qi pulled out a smile and said: "Yes, it's time for Sixth Sister to get married, and I don't have to be afraid of her bullying me again. I was worried when I was at sea, she would take me Take all the things you brought back."

Zhen Wu understood Xiao Qi's reluctance, patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder and comforted him: "Your sixth sister was old when you left, and I can't wait for you to come back, but Xu Jingchang is very kind to your sixth sister, don't worry , now she and your second sister are waiting for you at home?"

Xiao Qi nodded in understanding, then turned around and said, "What about March? Why didn't Big Brother bring San Yue here too?"

"He went to Peiping with your sister-in-law."

"To Peking?"

Zhen Wu nodded. This year, the Crown Princess and Zhu Yuying asked Zhu Di for orders to go to Beiping to thank Xu Miaoyun before taking away the schoolgirls. It is estimated that they should also go to Beiping now.

However, Zhen Wu didn't explain anything to Xiao Qi, just said: "It's okay, they won't stay in Beiping for a long time, they will come back in a few months at most, and you can see them when the time comes."...

Xiao Qi felt a little pity, and kept talking to Zhen Wu about the gift he had prepared for March. As he talked, Xiao Qi became excited again, talking about what kind of fish he had seen and what kind of fish he had seen. bird.

Zhen Wu greeted Xiao Qi, and while walking home, he listened to Xiao Qi's words with a smile on his face.

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, Zhen Wu said: "After tomorrow's court meeting, remember to go to your old man's house, don't lose your manners, and have you picked out some rare things for your daughter-in-law?"

Xiao Qi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I chose."

"That's it. Before, I was worried that you would forget about Chen Yu'er and bring me a foreign woman instead. Speaking of this, I have to remind you that provoking those foreign women is provoking. If it is too weird Yes, even if Chen Yu'er agrees with you to take them back, don't blame me for not letting them in, don't become someone else's talking point."

……

While Zhen Wu and Xiao Qi were chatting and walking home, Ben Yashili, the Great Khan of the Tatars, was discussing matters with his cronies.

During this period of time, Alutai integrated one tribe after another at an astonishing speed. Alutai held the position of grand master, and his power became stronger day by day. I'm afraid it will naturally give way to Alutai.

How could this prevent Benya from feeling in danger.

Ben Ya Shili in the big tent said with a gloomy expression: "We can't mix with Alutai anymore, otherwise all the people who listen to us will be won by Arutai sooner or later. At that time, I will Become a puppet, a puppet at the mercy of others!"

Someone stood up and echoed: "I agree with the meaning of the Great Khan. Now even Kumbu Timur and the others have walked with Alutai. We can't wait any longer. We have 8 or [-] horses. The family must be separated, lest there will be no bones and scum left by him."

"Separate?"

A man with a beard and a fleshy face said violently: "How to divide? Alutai will let us separate out for nothing? He has a full 20 people now. As long as we dare to propose a separation, he will definitely dare to split with us." Rip face."

"That's a score. At worst, we move west and give him all the land in the east."

"Oh, give up the land? Is Alutai a fool? If you give up the land, he will let you move westward? If you have the ability, you don't even want food and grass." The tyrannical man said angrily.

"Adab, what are you calling me for? I'm not Alutai. Why are you taking your anger out on me?" Another person retorted angrily.

Seeing that the two were getting angry, Benya knocked on the table in frustration: "Why are you arguing, should we fight first?"

The two looked at each other, snorted softly, and closed their mouths.

It is a kind of sadness to be on the same stage with an outstanding person to fight for power and profit, just like the current Ben Yashili and Alutai. Even if he doesn't use intrigue, just getting acquainted with everyone on a daily basis can make others fall for him slowly.

Benya Shili has also had enough of this feeling. As a majestic Khan, he can't accept being forever covered by the light of Arutai. He wants to start a new stove, even if the new stove can't burn a strong flame. not hesitate. …

"Since Alutai refuses to separate the family, then I will force him to agree to the separation!" Benya said with a heavy face.

Everyone looked at Benya in bewilderment.

逼？
To make an inappropriate analogy, in the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, and Cao Cao would let the emperor leave with those who supported him?

What a joke.

Even if Benya's strength is not weak, but 7 people are against 20 people, how can Alutai obediently agree to split up?

Benya seemed to understand everyone's puzzlement, he turned his head to look in Daming's direction, and said softly, "Arutai is not afraid of us, isn't he afraid of Daming?"

Ming dynasty?

The flesh-faced man frowned and said: "But Alutai has always been in contact with Da Ming, and has always been close to Da Ming. How could Da Ming not hesitate to hate Alutai just to help us speak?"

Speaking of this, his frown deepened: "Even if it is beneficial to Da Ming, if Aru Tai sacrifices all his money to Da Ming, Da Ming may not do what we want. Besides, we have never had any contact with Da Ming, and Who can you send to Daming?"

Benya smiled evilly and said: "There is no need to go on a mission, Daming will take the initiative to come." After finishing speaking, Benya looked around the crowd and said again: "I remember that in a few days, Alutai will be in Xing Come to a meeting with people from Da Ming, if we kill Da Ming's envoy, do you think Da Ming will send troops?"

As soon as this statement fell, everyone was shocked.

After they looked at each other, the savage man swallowed his saliva and said, "With Zhu Di's temperament, he will definitely!"

Ben Ya continued to ask calmly, "Then if the Ming army is under pressure and we propose to abandon the territory and move westward to hide, will Arutai be willing to agree?"

The savage man thought for a while, then spit out two words: "No."

Ben Ya Shili finally sneered and said: "At that time, we will talk about the separation of the family. Do you think that Arutai dares to completely tear himself apart with me under such circumstances?"

This…

Even if Alutai had the courage, he wouldn't dare.

Ben Ya Shili stood up at this time, he looked around the crowd again, and said firmly: "I have made up my mind to do so, what do you guys think?"

Everyone looked at each other again.

After a while, they all got up and said firmly: "I will follow the lead of the big sweat."

"Okay!" Benya said excitedly, disappointed in the certainty in her eyes.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at him as if he saw his glorious career after leaving Alutai.

He thought, it's just attracting Da Ming's attack, and it's not that he has no chance to run away, it's better than staying and being eaten slowly by Alutai.

After all, he is a descendant of the Golden Family, and he is determined not to become Alutai's puppet.

No matter how much you pay, you can't!

……

Peiping.

A few days ago, the Crown Princess brought Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Yuying brought Sanyue back to this place again. The Crown Princess and Zhu Yuying couldn't help feeling very cordial to this place where they grew up.

As soon as they came back here, they seemed to be a little bit transparent.

However, Zhu Zhanji and March are different.

Although the two brothers were both born in Beiping, most of them grew up in Nanjing after they realized it. Now that they return to their hometown, there is more inquiry and curiosity in their eyes. …

On this day, the two took advantage of the busyness of the Crown Princess and Zhu Yuying, and specially invited Xue Xun and Gu Liang to take them wandering around Beiping City.

Xue Xun is the eldest son of Xue Lu, and Gu Liang is the eldest son of Gu Ming. Xue Lu and Gu Ming have guarded Beiping for a long time, and their two sons will definitely accompany Zhu Zhanji and March at this time.

Speaking of which, Xue Xun has the best relationship with Xiaoqi back then, and now he has started to practice with Xue Lu in the army, and Gu Liang is four or five years older than Xue Xun, and has already made his mark in the army, especially in the Beiping military department. He is also a well-known young general who can stand on his own.

Gu Ming is very proud of this. He didn't like reading in his early years, so he left the responsibility of reading to Gu Liang. For this reason, Gu Ming did his best to train Gu Liang. After staying by his side for a while, Gu Liang did not live up to Gu Ming's high expectations. Not only was he pleasing, free and easy, but his abilities were also recognized by the veterans.

At this moment, the four of them were riding side by side while chatting.

Because Zhu Zhanji was not familiar with Gu Liang, he helped Zhu Zhanji explain in March: "Brother Gu's father is Xing Hebo. I remember my father told me that he was with Xing Hebo and Cheng Guogong in the early years. , Cheng Yanghou and other ten people once formed a small team to go deep into the desert to investigate the traces of Naier Buhua..."

Having said that, Zhu Zhanji interrupted: "Is that the legendary scout team in the army?"

"Yes." San Yue nodded and said, "But it's a pity that after Jing Nan, only my father and the others are still alive."

"It's really a pity." Zhu Zhanji also said.

Gu Liang said with a hearty smile at this time: "Grandson, you don't have to feel sorry for the young master. The general will inevitably die in battle. The sons of our general's family are not afraid of life and death, not to mention their younger generations are now serving in the Beiping Army. After waiting After a few days when they are free, if the grandson and the young father-in-law are free, I can invite them out and have a gathering together."

"It's a good relationship." Sanyue said with bright eyes.

A few people were chatting, when there was a thunder in the sky, the weather became gloomy for a while, Gu Liang saw that it might rain, so he proposed to go to the teahouse to sit for a while.

Zhu Zhanji and around March were not in a hurry to go shopping, and they would stay in Beiping for a while, so they nodded in agreement.

But when several people were walking towards the teahouse, Zhu Zhanji's guard suddenly came to report that he had captured a suspicious person.

The eyes of the four people looked towards the suspicious figure.

The suspicious person was wearing a green shirt with a long sword hanging from his waist, like a knight-errant in the drama. Seeing this, Gu Liang smiled and said to Zhu Zhanji: "Don't worry about grandson, this person should He came to look for me, if it is convenient, let him go."

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled, but still gave Gu Liang face and asked his subordinates to let go of the man, but then he couldn't help asking: "Looking at this man's style, he might commit an assassination act, so I really want to let him go. "

"Let it go, there is a poor man running around the rivers and lakes." Gu Liang said boldly and freely.

Zhu Zhanji didn't say much when he saw this, but Xue Xun said with a smile at this moment: "It seems that he is still looking for Brother Gu to challenge. Brother Gu has a relationship with his sister-in-law, but this blessing is not easy to enjoy."...

"It's okay, what should I be afraid of?" Gu Liang was so proud.

This is what Zhu Zhanji and March said about the lost lake.

At this time, the three of them also went to the teahouse. Xue Xun ordered a pot of tea and began to explain to Zhu Zhanji and Sanyue. The exquisite appearance, and the martial arts are also good, more importantly, the heart is upright, the love is unparalleled, and the love of fighting injustice is the favorite when walking in the rivers and lakes.

As a result, many people in the rivers and lakes are obsessed with pursuit, and some people even spend a lot of money to see her.

But this woman is born free and easy, and has always dismissed invitations to fame and fortune.

But just such a strange woman, because of a chance acquaintance with Gu Liang, after mutual love, she did not hesitate to retreat from the world without hesitation, abandoned her sword, and married Gu Liang's husband and godson ever since.

The most surprising thing in the Jianghu, the person who was ranked as the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu by good people, is actually married!

This made all the people in Jianghu who knew the news stubbornly think that it was Gu Liang, a son of the rich and powerful, who used his power to force her to marry. Even after she was so annoyed, no one would believe her explanation of her will.

At this moment, it was already raining outside, and the pattering autumn rain seemed to bring chills to all living beings. Gu Liang listened to Xue Xun's narration with a smile.

At this time, Sanyue suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, look, that Jianghu man has been waiting in the rain."

Several people all looked over.

In the distance, on the periphery of the guards, the Jiang Hu man stood in the rain, looking at the few people in the teahouse indifferently, he sneered, as if expressing his determination to kill Gu Liang with a firm attitude.

He probably thinks that he is the hero who slays the dragon and saves the beauty from fire and water, and maybe even has a delusion that after killing Gu Liang, he will live and fly with the beauty.

Through the cold rain, Sanyue seemed to feel the other party's killing intent.

Sanyue frowned and said, "Brother Gu, let the guards take him down, or drive him away at worst. If he stays in the city, maybe he will make trouble."

At this moment, Gu Liang frowned and said with a smile: "No, most of these Jianghu people just want to challenge me, and since they want to use Jianghu's method, then I should use Jianghu's method, otherwise how can I challenge Jianghu? People prove that the half-lost husband is also an indomitable man?!"

After that, Gu Liang asked the shopkeeper for a jug of wine, he raised his head and drank it down, then raised his knife and said: "You can just sit down for a while, I will send this person away."

As soon as the words fell, Gu Liang jumped down from the second floor and fell into the sky full of wind and rain.

His movements are chic, as if he is stepping on the wind and rain, his chest is full of love for his wife, taking advantage of the rush of alcohol, he sings wildly.

When Gu Liang rushed in front of the Jianghu people, he only used three swords.

The first cut broke the Jianghu people's swordsmanship.

The second knife shook the Jianghu people's long swords.

In the third cut, the point of the knife stopped on the forehead of the Jiang Huren.

The face of this Jianghu man was a little shocked. He probably didn't expect Gu Liang's martial arts to be so high. There was a bitterness on his face, and he closed his eyes.

The rain was pouring down, dripping down the back of the knife and onto the ground, the sound of the wind and rain all over the sky was like Xiao Sha's song. …

After half an hour.

People in Jianghu heard Gu Liang's words: "Do you have any last wishes?"

Last wish?

The figure that haunted him involuntarily appeared in Jiang Huren's mind. Back then, he only glanced at it from a distance, but never forgot it. Even now, when he thinks about it, it is still as clear as yesterday.

That day, she was riding upside down on the horseback, blowing a beautiful tune, maybe she was too intoxicated, after the tune ended, she was led astray by the horse.

She asked: "Hey, young man, which direction is Qinghe?"

He was in a daze for a long time without answering.

She was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You idiot."

But after she finished muttering, she smiled again, she had a great time, no matter whether it was right or wrong, she just moved forward freely, so she no longer cared about the direction, and no longer judged right from wrong to drive forward.

On the way, she fiddled with the tune again.

But her smile took root in his heart.

Gu Liang looked at the Jianghu people in a daze at this moment, and frowned. Just about to speak, the Jianghu people said bitterly: "If... if it is possible, please tell Miss Su that there is a... idiot who tried to save her."

After the people in the Jianghu finished speaking, they felt as if they would never see Su Banluo again in this life, and they felt as if they were being stirred up by a knife. For a moment, the words of longing for Su Banluo that they wanted to tell Su Banluo in countless days emerged densely in their hearts.

But he opened his mouth, but in the end he just said one sentence: "Just this one... just one sentence." After speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

The wind and rain got a little stronger.

Gu Liang suddenly laughed: "You also think Banluo looks good?"

The Jianghu people were taken aback for a moment, puzzled.

Gu Liang put the knife back into its sheath: "The wind and rain came at the wrong time, give it face, I don't want to kill people today." After speaking, Gu Liang laughed and walked back.

The wind and rain seemed to obliterate Gu Liang's back, but it couldn't cover up his free and easy laugh.

The Jianghu people suddenly shouted: "Even if you spare your life, one day, I will still take your life."

Gu Liang's voice came from the wind and rain.

"You can come here, I am always waiting."

The Jianghu people gritted their teeth and shouted again: "But I will repay you for saving your life today."

Gu Liang's figure paused for a moment, and then accompanied by his steps, the voice sounded again: "No, I will give Fengyu face, and you will give it back to Fengyu in the future!"

As he spoke, Gu Liang laughed again.

The people in Sanyue in the teahouse watched this scene, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in their hearts.

Maybe only such a free and easy man can be matched with such a carefree woman in this world.

All extraordinary.

Made in heaven.

When Gu Liang returned to the teahouse, suddenly one of his guards came over. While wiping the rain off his body, he listened to the guards whispering in his ear.

When the guard finished speaking, Gu Liang looked at Zhu Zhanji and the others and said, "What a coincidence, I planned to spend two more days with the grandson and the young father-in-law, but my father suddenly sent an urgent errand."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go to Xinghe tomorrow, and the guardian will meet Alutai!"

……
