"Tell me in detail."
Zhu Di also became excited.
"Actually, this ship is named after the Great Fortune Ship.”
"Now, my Ming Navy also has a blessing ship. Even my treasure ship was rebuilt from a blessing ship. However, compared to this design, they were clearly much smaller.”
"When it comes to naval battles, we fight ships, not strength!”
"This ship is as tall as a building. Whether it is bombarded by artillery or collided with the enemy ship, it will have a great advantage.”
"And the number of cannons that can be placed on it is several times that of ordinary ships!”
"Your Majesty! And this was only the defensive effect of the blessing ship!”
"I have been to the West several times and know that the sea is dangerous and difficult to conquer.”
"However, such a huge boat can break through the waves as if it was flat ground!”
Zheng He spoke with fervor, his voice becoming more and more excited.
Zhu Di's blood boiled as he listened.
At this moment, he had already begun to imagine himself riding the Fortune Ship and traversing the sea. Those who were unconvinced would be crushed.
This was a fatal attraction for a warlike person like him.
"Hey!"
Zhu Di sighed again.
He was already old, and the country's current problem was in Mobei.
Although this boat was good, it didn't give him a chance to show off his ambitions.
"Your Majesty, who drew this map? If Your Majesty sets up a navy alone, I am willing to recommend this person as the commander of the navy with my life!”Zheng He continued.
Although the Ming Dynasty had a navy, it did not have a single navy.
After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he implemented the system of guards.
The so-called guard station system was that a few prefectures formed a defense zone and set up guards. There were various types of troops within, and the highest commander of the guards was the commander.
What Zheng He meant was…
He wanted Zhu Di to set up a navy and then let him lead the entire country's navy.
Although Zhu Di enjoyed being praised by others, he still said calmly,"Isn't this too much?"
Drawing a map and commanding an army were two different things.
"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt." Zheng He straightened his expression and analyzed in detail,"
"This person is not only talented to be able to draw such a ship blueprint.”
"Only by being familiar with the sea can the ship be able to ride the wind and waves.”
"Only those who are familiar with military affairs can understand the advantage of having a ship as tall as a building and attacking from a high vantage point.”
"Only when one is familiar with strategy will one understand the importance of naval ships!”
"May I ask, Your Majesty?"
"Is such a person not qualified to be a commander?”
“……”
Zhu Di was shocked.
He had originally thought that Zhu Le was only capable of drawing such a blueprint because he had monstrous intelligence.
After Zheng He's analysis, he finally understood that there were actually so many innate conditions required!
My eldest grandson is an all-rounder!
Zhu Di sighed in his heart.
He is good at writing and martial arts, and he can predict things like a god. He is also good at strange and obscene skills. He was also proficient in commanding troops!
What else can I ask for if I can get Zhu Le as my grandson?
Unfortunately…
Thinking of Zhu Le's personality, Zhu Di shook his head helplessly.
This kid was too aloof from worldly affairs.
"Why wouldn't I want to put this person in an important position? It's not that I'm unwilling, but I can't!”Zhu Di sighed.
Hearing this, Zheng He and Song Li exchanged glances.
Could it be that even His Majesty couldn't persuade this person?
Thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing strange about it.
It was said that he was proud of his talent.
With such a character, what was wrong with looking down on the world?
How could ordinary fame and fortune easily move his heart?
"Forget it, Zheng He, since you have nothing to do, tell me about your trip to the West.”Zhu Di changed the topic.
"On this trip to the West, other than promoting the prestige of our country, I also brought back many spices and plants that are enough to change the lives of the people. In addition, I accidentally caught an animal.”Zheng He replied.
"What kind of animal?"
"This animal is quite strange. It looks like a deer, but it's not. It has stripes on its body and several horns on its head. According to the locals, it's called a Qilin!”
"Qilin?"
Zhu Di exclaimed.
This was an auspicious beast! Auspicious signs!
He wanted to go and watch immediately, but he remembered that there was a banquet later, so he could only suppress this thought.
Sensing Zhu Di's good mood, Zheng He said,"
"Your Majesty, I have been to the West and marveled at the vastness of the sea and the vastness of the world. I think we should open the sea ban and strengthen our ties with the coastal countries.”
During the Ming Dynasty, the sea was forbidden for a long time.
At this time, although Zheng He was going to the West, it was mostly on behalf of the government, and the people still banned the sea.
"Zheng He, do you know? Can the ban on the sea help to strengthen the coastal defense?" Zhu Di asked after a long silence.
"I know."
"Do you know that the ban on the sea will help the coastal people settle down and fight against pirates?”Zhu Di asked again.
"I know." Zheng He nodded.
"Then do you know that this is the ancestral teachings? The Great Ancestor had repeatedly ordered,'You are not allowed to go into the sea'!”Zhu Di asked again.
“……”
Zheng He didn't say anything and sighed faintly.
If Zhu Di asked him about the benefits of opening up the sea ban, he could easily answer.
However, if it involved the ancestral teachings.
Even if he had a great reason, he did not dare to let Zhu Di bear the reputation of "betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors"!
After all, Zhu Di was not in the right position!
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. If he were to wear the label of violating the ancestral teachings again, he would definitely be criticized by the officials and the people!
"I spoke too much." Zheng He apologized.
This made Zhu Di's expression soften.
He called the eunuch over to inquire about the time and found that the banquet was about to begin.
"Song Li, please leave. Zheng He will attend the banquet with me.”Zhu Di instructed.
With that, he stood up and left the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, preparing to change his clothes. Zheng He followed closely behind.
Zheng He's original name was Ma Sanbao, a eunuch.
Knowing that his words had made Zhu Di unhappy, he personally helped Zhu Di change his clothes.
He was about to finish changing.
Zhu Di thought of something and hesitated for a moment before saying,""San Bao, bring me my soft armor.”
Soft armor?
Zheng He was shocked.
"Don't make a fuss! Now that the orphans of Jingnan are rampant, I am prepared.”Zhu Di explained.
