"They said that Zheng He is coming back!"
Just as Shen Lian finished his report, the system's voice sounded in Zhu Gaoyu's head.
'Ding…System mission issued.'
"Seize the blueprints of Hu Zhenghe's treasure ship and build it to protect the treasures of mankind.”
Zheng He's Treasure Ship?
Zhu Gaoyu rubbed his chin and briefly recalled that he had seen a model of Zheng He's treasure ship in the history museum.
In his memory, this treasure ship was basically a blessing ship, with a square shape and a wide flat stern. The building was in the form of a ship, and it was divided into five floors from the bottom to the deck.
The front of the bow had a mighty tiger head embossed, the front of the two sides had a majestic dragon relief or painting, the rear had a phoenix painting, and the stern plate had a giant roc spreading its wings to fly.
It was said that Zheng He's Treasure Ships were 148 meters long and 60 meters wide. They were the largest wooden sailboats in the world at that time. The ship had four floors and the anchor weighed a few thousand pounds. It would take two to three hundred people to set sail.
This ship was quite magnificent, and it was an extremely magnificent treasure ship.
The most important thing was that an Emperor had fainted and ordered a ban on the sea. He set fire to Zheng He's treasured ship and even burned the blueprints.
The blueprints of the treasure ship were lost, and the technology to build the treasure ship was also abolished. Even in the modern era, where technology was advanced, there was no way to restore such an exquisite treasure ship!
Indeed, such a precious treasure ship, as a descendant, I will protect it as much as I can.
But thinking about it from another perspective, if I master this blueprint and build a treasure ship, wouldn't I be able to conquer the world by ship in the future?!
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help but rub his chin and chuckle.
.........................................
A few days later, in the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The civil and military officials stood solemnly on both sides of the hall. The Crown Prince, Han King, and Zhao Wang stood on Zhu Di's right, while Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Zhanji stood on Zhu Di's left. They and Zhu Di looked out of the hall with smiles on their faces.
"Eunuch of the Inner Palace, Director of the Bureau of Ships, Commander Zheng He of the Oceanic Treasure Fleet is here to receive an audience!”
As soon as Little Snot finished speaking, a man in a red cloak and an official uniform walked in with a serious expression.
Zheng He saw Zhu Di standing in front of the dragon throne and looking at him. He slowly walked forward and gave a big bow.
"This subject Zheng He pays his respects to the Emperor.”
Zhu Di looked at Zheng He and smiled in relief. He placed his hands on his waist and said gently,"
"Zhen An."
"Get up."
Zheng He stood up and looked at Zhu Di with a much more relaxed expression.
"Ma Bao followed me in Yunnan since he was young. When I was the King of Yan, he led my warhorse. During the Battle of Jingnan, he was the vanguard of my right army. He was good at fighting and was definitely not inferior to a famous general.”
"In the past few years, he has led the Treasure Fleet across the ocean, cutting through thorns and thorns to show his might overseas.”
"This is a genius of my Great Ming."
When Zheng He heard this, he didn't dare to be arrogant and said humbly,"
"Relying on the Emperor's heavenly might, the Great Ming Empire's fate flourished, and it was a golden age. How could Zheng He dare to cherish himself?”
Hearing this, Zhu Di laughed loudly in a good mood.
"Hahahahaha!"
"If others say so, I'll take it as flattery.
"I believe you."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the second and third brothers.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, Zheng He is back.”
The Han King reacted very quickly. He quickly stepped forward and patted Zheng He's shoulder affectionately.
"Brother Ma Bao, let's put business first before private matters. After eating the emperor's banquet, we'll eat our own.”
The King of Zhao was in a good mood.
"Second Brother was talking about you a few days ago. If you didn't come back soon, the river would freeze and we would have to meet again next spring.”
"I called all the old brothers of the Right Army.”
"I want to go too!"
As soon as the King of Zhao finished speaking, a child's excited voice rang out.
King Zhao didn't even need to look to know that the person who said this was Zhu Gaoyu. His expression immediately turned cold, and he berated him with a stern face.
"Us brothers drinking, what has it got to do with you?”
When Zhu Gaoyu heard this, he was immediately unhappy. He directly swayed his small body and started to play around in the main hall.
"I don't want to, I don't want to, I want to go!”
"I want to hear Lord Zheng He tell me the story of his voyage to the West!”
Zheng He looked at Zhu Gaoyu, who was pouting and looking unhappy. He smiled gently and squatted down to comfort him.
"Young Prince, don't be anxious.”
The Han King's face immediately turned stern.
"You're just spoiling him!"
Zhu Di also noticed the commotion here and waved at Zhu Gaoyu with a doting smile.
"Little brat, if you want to hear a story, then let Ma Bao tell it to you at the banquet tonight.”
"Your second and third brother are talking about military warfare. It sounds boring to you, so don't follow them.”
"In a while, dad will reward you with some precious toys that Ma Bao brought back.”
"Good!"
When Zhu Gaoyu heard that there would be a reward, his small mouth cracked into a smile, and he responded with a crisp sound and no longer spoke.
When Zheng He heard this, he smiled with the Han brothers. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his hand and said,
"Your Highness, please give me a moment."
After Zheng He finished speaking, he walked around the Han brothers and went straight to the Crown Prince to kneel down.
" Crown Prince, the Sacred Body is safe."
A gentle smile hung on the crown prince's chubby face.
"Get up, get up, get up."
"I kept wanting to say hello to you, but I couldn't get a word in!”
Zheng He stood up and spoke gently to the Crown Prince.
"Crown Prince, good luck and health."
"Alright, alright."
After Zheng He and the Crown Prince finished their greetings, he stopped smiling and walked to the center of the officials. He knelt down respectfully to Zhu Di and reported loudly.
"I, Zheng He, was appointed as the chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty's shipping department in the ninth month of the seventh year of Yongle. Together with the deputy envoy Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian, they led 27,000 soldiers and sailed 48 treasure ships from Taicang's Liujiagang to Champa, Bintong Dragon, Zhenla, Siam, Jiali Martin, Jiaolan Mountain, Java, Chongjia Luo, Jili Mendi, Guli, Manlaka, Pahang, Dongxi Zhu, Longya Jiamiao, Tanyang, Sumanda, Huamian, Longxian Island, Cuilan Island, Aru, Ceylon…Wait for the country."
"The kings of the various countries have sent their treasure fleets to the capital to pay tribute.”
Zhu Di sat on the dragon throne and listened patiently. Then, he asked in confusion,
"I've never heard of the Manchurian Kingdom!"
Zheng He pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"Manlaka is a vassal state of Siam. This is my first time establishing a country. Although I have visited many countries, there are still many places that I have never been to.”
"Yeah." Zhu Di sat on the dragon throne and did not say a word. He only heard a very proud child's voice ringing in the hall.
" Zambian, Angola, zimbabwe, malawia, mozambican, botswana, namibia, swahila, lesotho, madagascar, Comoros..."
"Other than the countries I mentioned, there are many more!”
As Zhu Gaoyu spoke, he opened his small hand and made a big circle.
"Other than the Great Ming, there is an even wider world. There are also countless countries, and there are even two places that are covered in ice and snow called the South Pole and the North Pole.”
"Although the temperature there is extremely low, the scenery is extremely beautiful. There will also be beautiful auroras at night. Just thinking about it makes one fascinated!”
Zheng He looked at Zhu Gaoyu in shock.
"I've heard of the South Pole and North Pole. I've only heard that the aurora is the most beautiful scenery in the world, but I've never had the chance to see it.”
"How did the young prince know?”
After Zheng He finished speaking, Prince Zhu Di and the others also looked at Zhu Gaoyu in bewilderment.
When did this child have such knowledge?
How did he know about the grand occasion of the Great Thousand World?
While everyone was puzzled, the child smiled and spoke again.
"My master told me?"
Your master?
An old monk?
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoyu suspiciously.
That was not strange.
The old monk was quite knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, so it was normal for him to know these things.
However, this little brat is really diligent and studious. Not bad, not bad. As expected of my son. He's much better than those brothers who know how to scheme against each other.
Zhu Di patted Zhu Gaoyu's head lovingly, then turned around and sat back on the dragon throne. Seeing this, Little Snot quickly shouted at the top of her voice.
"The emperor of Great Ming has decreed that the envoys of the various countries should pay their respects and play music!”
The music immediately sounded in the hall. The envoys of the various countries also went up to the hall to pay their respects to Zhu Di, who was sitting at the head of the table with a dignified expression…
