Chapter 11 The new Zheng He voyages?
Time passed slowly, and a large amount of silver began to be scattered throughout the people, and with the influx of these silver, the commercial activities in the entire Ming Dynasty, which had been quiet, suddenly became more frequent again.

Even some shrewd businessmen have begun to prepare manpower to build workshops.

And with the establishment of workshops one by one, the silver flowed into the folks from the hands of merchants.

The situation of private money shortage has gradually improved.

Of course, if you want to completely reverse the situation, this mere million taels is obviously not enough.

However, at the moment where the island country is located, the mining of silver mines has already begun, and the Ming Dynasty in Luzon has completely occupied it and started mining gold mines.

Even with the current mining volume, it is easy to obtain millions of taels a year.

In just a few years, the entire Ming Dynasty's money shortage will be completely reversed.

Of course, Zhu Di didn't pay attention to this at the moment. He was waiting for Zheng He's return in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zheng He had already taken control of Luzon a month ago. Under his order, Zheng He quickly returned from Luzon and finally arrived in Kyoto today.

As soon as he arrived, Zhu Di couldn't wait to summon Zheng He.

There was no way, the prospect of sailing to the West described by Jiang Chen really made his heart flutter too much. As soon as Zheng He returned, he couldn't wait to start trying.

While waiting anxiously.

Zheng He soon arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"His Majesty!"

Zheng He saluted respectfully.

"Haha, Sanbao, you did a good job this time!"

Seeing Zheng He walking in, Zhu Di got off the throne directly and helped Zheng He up.

"Your Majesty Lai's blessing, I'm just doing my job."

Zheng He also smiled.

"Hahaha, Sanbao, don't be modest. This time I won the island country and Luzon, and my Ming Dynasty no longer has a money shortage. This is enough to last forever!"

Zhu Di laughed and spoke with emotion in his expression.

"Your Majesty has a great reputation. I don't know what your Majesty's order is for summoning your ministers this time?"

Zheng He continued to smile, and then hesitated to ask.

"It's like this. I have decided to sail to the West again in half a year. However, the goal of the voyage this time is different. Take a look, Sanbao. This is an idea I got from a gentleman. See if it is feasible?"

Hearing Zheng He's words, Zhu Di nodded, and then spoke, and the figure took out a scroll from his arms.

"Yes!"

Zheng He respectfully responded, and then took the scroll.

When the scroll was opened, the words on it quickly caught his eyes.

Immediately, Zheng He couldn't help but fell into trance.

Zhu Di did not interrupt, but waited quietly.

The things described on it are naturally the "colonial system" that Jiang Chen told him.

As for handing over to Zheng He, the reason is also very simple, after all, it needs Zheng He to implement it.

At this moment, Zheng He looked at the words on it and felt his heart beating violently, and his expression was full of shock.

It wasn't until a moment later that Zheng He slowly moved away from the scroll.

"Your Majesty, this method is so clever that our Ming Dynasty will no longer have any external dangers. Even the countries in Southeast Asia and the West will look up to our Ming Dynasty."

Zheng He spoke with emotion.

As someone who has seen most of the world, he can feel the power of this plan even more.

With such a plan, I am afraid that it will not take decades, and the majesty of the entire Ming Dynasty will cover the entire Southeast Asia and even the West Ocean.

"Hahaha, as long as it works!"

"Sanbao, I will follow this for my next voyage to the West. In addition, this time, I will double the size of the fleet, and you will have full authority to mobilize its supplies."

Zhu Di's smile faded and he looked at Zheng He's solemn words.

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

Zheng He responded respectfully.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. In addition, I've given you this map. This time the target is Europa!"

Zhu Di nodded, then waved his hand, and the old eunuch quickly stepped forward and handed a new scroll to Zheng He.

"map!"

Zheng He's heart moved, and then his expression couldn't help becoming a little excited, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the scroll.

He has not forgotten that His Majesty the Emperor has a map of the whole world.

"Go down, prepare well, and set off in December!"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

Zheng He also bowed and retreated immediately.

As soon as he left the palace, Zheng He couldn't help but opened the scroll.

And when he looked at the extremely clear world map on the scroll, Zheng He couldn't help but breathe a little heavier again.

"Sure enough!"

Zheng He muttered to himself with excitement.

This map is undoubtedly of higher value to him than anything else.

Carefully put the scroll away.

Then Zheng He quickly left the palace.

In the following time, Zheng He began to make rapid preparations.

Since this time was obviously different from the previous voyages to the West, the preparation time was undoubtedly much shorter. In October, a large amount of materials began to be transported to the port.

Compared with the previous transfer of the imperial court, this is undoubtedly much faster.

And when the time came to December, the basic preparations had been completed.

In December of the 14th year of Yongle, history, Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty ordered Zheng He and others to escort envoys from various countries and the old port propaganda envoys back to the country. Zheng He did not travel until the autumn of the 15th year of Yongle.

But in this time and space, history has changed.

In December of the 14th year of Yongle, Zheng He led the ship to set off, accompanied by monk Huixin, generals Zhu Zhen, Tang Jing, etc., and the ship was even more mighty.

Originally, there were only 208 ships in total, including 62 large ships and 146 small ships. However, at this moment, the number of ships doubled to [-], of which hundreds were merchant ships loaded with goods.

Such a huge scale covered most of the sea almost instantly.

And this time the voyage to the West, the history is destined to be completely different.

Zheng He's mission was different, and so was the mission of the sea ships.

If it was just a political show before, then Zheng He's voyages to the West this time were purely for profit.

For Confucians, ministers still need to consider face, but for the country, the only issue is the issue of interests.

On this point, when setting sail, Zheng He directly summoned his men, and the two deputies began to discuss.

On the huge treasure ship.

Zhu Zhen, Tang Jing, and Zheng He were sitting among them.

At this moment, Zheng He had handed Zhu Di's two scrolls to the two of them. When the world map appeared and Zhu Di's strategy was placed in front of them, they were completely shocked.

Especially Zhu Zhen.

Needless to say, even Zhu Zhen, who went to sea for the first time, had a certain understanding of Zheng He's records after reading many records. Although he was not as familiar with Zheng He and Tang Jing, he had a clear enough understanding of the Western and Southern Oceans, but he I never thought that the world could be so huge.
