The name of the King of Han alone can match ten thousand troops!
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that what he dreamed of last night was the history that Zhu Li had seen on Baidu before he transmigrated!
Because in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were two explanations for how the King of Han died.
One was the self-immolation that Emperor Jianwen had mentioned.
The other one was Zhu Di who claimed that he was killed by his nephew, Zhu Yunwen!
Historians of later generations also had different opinions on these two statements.
Some said that this was just a reason Zhu Di had found for himself when he was in Fengtian Jingnan. After all, how could such a ruthless person like the King of Han die like this?
There were also some who insisted that Emperor Jianwen had killed their uncle, the God of War!
Now, it seemed that the revised history of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Di had asked people to revise was the most authentic.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's dream, Zhu Lidi was killed by his nephew, Zhu Yunwen!
At this moment, Zhu Li was sitting in the cabin, leisurely reading the Divine Book of Time Travel.
"Achoo!"
Suddenly, Zhu Li sneezed, and his ears turned red.
Zhu Li touched his burning ears and was baffled.
"Who is scolding this king so early in the morning?”
"Could it be those civil officials in the court who have nothing better to do?”
How could Zhu Li know how badly he had died in Zhu Yuanzhang's dream?
Tch!
At this moment, someone knocked on the cabin door.
"Your Highness, there are many ships following our fleet!”
Qin Wu's voice rang out.
"Come in."
Zhu Li's heart skipped a beat. He put away the divine book in his hand and responded indifferently.
At this moment, Qin Wu walked into the cabin and told him about the sudden appearance of a large number of ships behind the fleet.
"They should be merchant ships from Jiangnan, right?”
Zhu Li asked with a smile.
"It looks like they are indeed merchant ships from the Jiangnan area. I heard that there are pirates in the Jiangxia area, Jingzhou area, and Xiangyang area. Every time these merchants bring a large amount of goods along the river, they usually hire people from escort agencies.”
"However, I don't know where these guys heard the news that your highness is taking the water route, so they even saved the money to hire a bodyguard agency and directly followed behind our fleet!”
Qin Wu grinned and explained the general situation he had heard.
"It seems like these merchants are using this king as a free bodyguard?”
"No matter how powerful the pirates are, would they dare to rob this king's fleet?”
Zhu Li burst into laughter.
"They wouldn't dare to even have the guts!”
Qin Wu hurriedly replied.
Who was Zhu Li?
This was the dignified Daming War God!
"How about this? Contact these merchants and collect protection fees for us one by one!”
"We won't ask for too much, just follow the standards of the bodyguard agency.”
Zhu Li thought for a moment and ordered Qin Wu.
"Protection fee? Do you want to think of a title?"
Qin Wu reminded him.
"That's true."
"We are the King of Han. We can't force them to pay.”
"You can use the excuse of funding the bandits to collect fees from them.”
"If there are pirates, this king will definitely help them all get rid of them!”
"But if you don't pay, you are not allowed to follow behind this king's fleet!”
"If this king doesn't take advantage of them, how can this king take advantage of them so easily?”
Zhu Li sneered.
Right now, he couldn't wait for a few pirates to show up for him to practice!
To be honest, Zhu Li was not familiar with water battles, but Zhuge Liang was!
The Battle of Red Cliff!
To understand the story of a straw boat borrowing arrows and the east wind?
Of course, Zhu Li was also cautious.
There might be Embroidered Uniform Guards among these merchant ships. These Embroidered Uniform Guards were the best at disguising themselves.
Therefore, Qin Wu's concerns were not without reason.
If he wanted to collect money, he couldn't make up excuses. There had to be a reason!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he wouldn't be able to say anything, right?
Soon, the six boats on Zhu Li's side chose a time when there was no wind and stopped on the river.
Under normal circumstances, if there was no wind, one could only rely on manual paddling, and the speed was very slow.
At this time, most ships would take the opportunity to rest and wait for the wind to rise before continuing to sail.
The merchant ships on the river would basically travel in groups.
When the ship was docked, they could even board each other's ships as if they were visiting each other. They could have a meal together, drink together, or something.
After the ship anchored, as long as it was not in the flood season, it would not deviate too much.
At this time, the two ships had to be side by side, and then the connecting pedal could be set up to connect the two ships directly, making it convenient for the people on both ships to pass through.
Seeing that the fleet of the Han King had all stopped, the merchant ships behind them naturally stopped as well.
A few merchants quickly gathered on a boat using the pedal. They started eating and drinking when they had nothing to do, then bragged and showed off their wealth.
At this moment, they were talking about Zhu Li, the King of Han.
After all, the Han King Zhu Li was indeed a legendary figure to the Ming Dynasty. From time to time, he would become the topic of conversation among the common people.
There were even storytellers who made up all kinds of battlefield stories for Zhu Li, praising him as a god of war.
This group of merchants was still following behind the fleet of the King of Han, so it was not strange for them to use him as a topic of conversation.
"Boss Jia, this time, we have saved a lot of money for Escort Gu because of the Han King. Your idea is really brilliant!”
A merchant surnamed Ge complimented a fat merchant who was wearing the most expensive clothes on a large cargo ship.
This time, the news of the Han King Zhu Li going up the river came from his mouth.
"Of course. My brother-in-law is from the Water Transport Office of Yingtian Prefecture, so this bit of news naturally can't be hidden from my ears.”
Boss Jia said proudly.
"But Boss Jia's fee for selling information is not low!”
"Although it's only half of the total price of the escort agency, with so many merchant ships, it should be enough for you to make a fortune, right?”
Another tall and thin merchant said in a strange tone.
Obviously, this Boss Jia was relying on Zhu Li's whereabouts to make money!
"Mr. Fang, you're wrong."
"If you feel that this money was spent unjustly, then you can choose not to follow the Han King's fleet!”
Boss Ge obviously wanted to curry favor with Boss Jia, so he immediately sneered at the businessman surnamed Fang.
Mr. Fang snorted and didn't say anything else.
Obviously, it was safer to follow the Han King's fleet than to hire bodyguards from the escort agency!
Even if there were escorts, they would still be robbed by pirates. Not all escorts could intimidate those pirates!
However, the name of the King of Han alone was worth tens of thousands of troops!
There was no way he could leave!
