My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 3 Declare war if there is a disagreement! (Please follow up!)
"Old Wang, there seems to be a quarrel after hearing this movement, should we go in and have a look!"

outside the hatch.

The two commanders of the fleet climbed on the cabin door and listened carefully to the movement inside.

One of them, who was a little taller, heard the intensified debate inside, hesitated for a while, and asked the other burly man next to him for command.

The burly man commanded, and gave him a speechless look.

"You stupid, what do you say when you go in? Which side do you stand on..."

"I..." Commander Du, who was slightly taller, opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

That's right, he didn't even think about who to talk to.

The truest thought in his heart is actually biased toward Zhu Gaoyu.

As a member of the army, it is engraved in the bones to have revenge and revenge.

That is to say, they have followed Zheng He for so many years. Otherwise, if someone else came over and asked them to give up their revenge, they would definitely let the other party know what the wrath of a man is.

But I can't help Zhu Gaoyu either.

Zheng He was the commander-in-chief, and the other party had already issued an order. Soldiers took it as their bounden duty to obey orders. Coupled with their admiration for Zheng He, they did not have the guts to refuse to carry out the order.

So both of them are in command, and a large group of officers behind them can only wait silently.

Despite the expressionless faces of these guys, they are actually praying in their hearts that Zhu Gaoyu can persuade Zheng He to avenge their dead brothers.

Just when the generals listened to the movement in the cabin with their ears sideways, they rushed out immediately to fight if something was wrong.

"Wow!" The cabin door was opened, and Zhu Gaoyu, who was dressed all over, walked out with a cold face while holding the knife handle at his waist.

"See Your Highness!"

Everyone present hurriedly saluted.

Hearing this address, Zhu Gaoyu frowned slightly.

Although he works part-time as the procurement envoy of the fleet, his main responsibility is the governor of the navy.

These guys don't call their official positions, but call him His Highness, which is treating him as a mascot.

"What are you doing here? Are you free?"

Zhu Gaoyu's sudden reprimand stunned the generals.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding why this His Highness, who was usually very talkative, suddenly became angry?

"Abandoning duty without authorization, does the ship not have to guard? If the enemy suddenly attacks, who will command the soldiers to fight? Has the law of war and military discipline been read in the stomach of a dog?"

The atmosphere became tense instantly, and the generals lowered their heads one by one.

Although they didn't regard Zhu Gaoyu as their immediate boss, Zhu Gaoyu was after all the prince, His Majesty's own son.

No matter how harsh the scolding is, they have to bear it.

Glancing around coldly, seeing these guys standing still, Zhu Gaoyu roared angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for dinner? Get out!"

"I will retire at the end!"

"Leave thousands of households behind each leader!"

However, just as the generals were about to disperse, Zhu Gaoyu's voice sounded again.

The generals who had just raised their legs and were about to leave, their eyes lit up when they heard the words, knowing that what they were expecting was coming.

"I leave you here, I believe you should know what to do in your heart."

In the treasure ship meeting hall, Zhu Gaoyu looked at the fifteen leading soldiers and thousands of households, and said slowly:

"Five days ago, 363 of us died here, including a Yuanwailang who passed the imperial edict."

The thousands of households who were looking forward to it, when they thought of those brothers who died tragically, flames of anger burst out of their eyes.

"Da da da…"

He raised his hand and knocked on the table to let everyone calm down, Zhu Gaoyu continued: "Killing people pays their lives, debts pay their money, this is the eternal truth."

"How the imperial court handles this matter, I don't want to know, and I don't intend to know."

"The governor's idea is very simple, whoever kills me will pay with his life!"

"360 three people, you have to take [-] heads, otherwise I will not be reconciled in this life."

The thousands of households clenched their fists and looked at Zhu Gaoyu expectantly.

The fleet still needs people to guard and cooperate with the attacking troops. It is impossible for them all to go, so they all hope that Zhu Gaoyu will choose them.

"Five thousand!"

Spreading his right palm, Zhu Gaoyu reported the number of troops he led.

"This is an action without credit, and there may even be penalties after the fact."

After a slight pause, Zhu Gaoyu slowly spit out two words while looking at Qianhu with different expressions.

"Who is going!"

Swish!
As soon as Zhu Gaoyu finished speaking, all Qianhu took a step forward, clasped their fists and shouted loudly.

"The end will be willing to go!"

It happened five days ago.

On Zheng He's third voyage, Zhu Gaoyu was appointed by Zhu Di as the procurement envoy, and also served as the commander of the navy to go together.

Zheng He didn't know how Zhu Gaoyu made His Majesty agree, but since His Majesty asked, he would naturally not refuse.

The two got along very well, visiting various countries along the way, and came to Malacca, the future generations.

The fleet was split in two.

Zhu Gaoyu led the cargo ship to the Sultanate of Bangladesh, planning to sell some of the goods brought in, and then purchase the corresponding items.

Zheng He's voyages to the West were not only for the promotion of the country's prestige, but also for official trade, otherwise, with his father's vigorous efforts, he moved the capital, dredged the canal, and repaired the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

The old man's tossing method, not to mention the small amount of money from the household department, is enough to beat up a bandit.

Zhu Gaoyu's itinerary was very smooth, and he sold the goods one day earlier than expected, and also purchased the corresponding items.

Most of them are pepper, ivory, etc..., and the small part that is left is various seeds.

Although gold, silver, jewelry and spices are good, for Zhu Gaoyu who has a golden finger of space, these seeds are the most precious.

As long as he has a seed, he can multiply it thousands of times, and pass it on forever in Daming and his own small territory in the future.

After completing the trade in the Bengal Sultanate, Zhu Gaoyu met with the king. After a friendly conversation, he took the gift from the other party and went to the next trading point, which was also the meeting point agreed between him and Zheng He.

Ceylon Island in the southernmost area of ​​Asan.

Zhu Gaoyu's schedule went smoothly, but Zheng He's was not so easy.

Zheng He studied under Yao Guangxiao and respected Buddhist culture very much.

The first two times I passed by here, I gave generous donations to these monasteries.

He gets along very well with the place, but not so well with the king here.

King Ariel Kunel of Ceylon, seeing Zheng He's generous spending, became greedy in his heart. When Zheng He sent someone to announce the edict of Ming Dynasty.

Not only did he not intend to pay tribute to Daming, but he also felt that Daming's reward was too little, so he opened his mouth like a lion.

Zheng He naturally didn't like such an arrogant person. If it wasn't for the special position of Ceylon, he would never want to see this greedy guy in his life.

It was the day when the imperial edict was read out. Because of his dislike for it and counting the days, Zhu Gaoyu arrived in these two days.

Zheng He did not go there in person, but let an accompanying official go.

In a small country, a Yuanwailang is enough to read the imperial edict.

As a result, there was an accident.

Seeing that Daming didn't agree to his request, and even Zheng He didn't come in person, Alie Kunaier was instantly furious.

He felt that Zheng He was looking down on him.

In anger, he ordered Yuanwailang and the warrior carrying the reward to be detained directly, and the weapons of the accompanying officers and soldiers were also disarmed.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers would not be captured without a fight, and the two sides fought in a scuffle.

It is a pity that the number of the Ming army is too small after all.

In a scuffle, all the guards, soldiers and warriors died in battle, and Yuanwailang, who announced the edict, was also beheaded by the son of Alie Kunel.

Later, if it wasn't for the local Han people who learned the news, they reported it to Zheng He as quickly as possible.

Zheng He's fleet was likely to be attacked by the opponent that night and suffered heavy losses.

After hearing the news, Zheng He was furious, but he considered that there were only half of his men. The other party said that there were at least 3 to 4 people. Reckless fighting was not the best choice. He chose to stay away from the coast temporarily and wait for Zhu Gaoyu to meet before making a decision.

However, after the two parties joined forces, Zhu Gaoyu and Zheng He had opposite ideas on how to deal with this matter.

Zheng He's idea is: using swords and weapons will damage the image of a benevolent and righteous country established by Ming in overseas dependent countries, and it is easy to be reasonable and unreasonable.

He suggested to proceed according to the plan first, and report the evil deeds of Ceylon to other foreign countries.

After grasping the truth, go back to the court and ask Zhu Di for an order to inquire about the crime. At that time, it is not a word from Daming that he should be killed or scratched.

But before he could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted angrily by Zhu Gaoyu.

"If it is useful to issue an order to inquire about crimes, why do we need the army!"

"Good guy, I've lived so long, this is the first time I've seen a victim who didn't seek revenge, but explained to others to prove his innocence."

"When you go back and ask for instructions, the day lily will be cold."

"Also, based on the temperament of those guys in the court, do you think there is still a chance for revenge if you report it?"

"I am the prince and the governor of the navy. We discussed it when we set off. I will take care of the war and you will take care of diplomacy."

"So now, as the governor of the navy and the King of Yue, on behalf of the fleet and the Ming Dynasty, I officially announce: declare war on Ceylon!"
