In front of the Moon Gate, a burly man about two meters tall stood solemnly. He saw Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di coming from afar and knelt beside them.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at it and walked into the Moon Gate. But after two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the Moon Gate. She asked Zhu Di,"Who is this guard?"
"Ma He."
Zhu Di quickly replied.
Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up.
Damn it, how could he have forgotten? The name Zheng He was because during the Jingnan period, Ma He had given Zhu Di advice in the Battle of Zheng Cunba and helped Zhu Di win. Later, Zhu Di became the emperor and gave Ma He the surname Zheng and the name He.
No wonder she couldn't find him!
Zhu Yunwen walked back. Ma He still wanted to kneel down, but Zhu Yunwen stopped him and said,"Stand properly."
Ma He looked at Zhu Yunwen at a loss.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Ma He. His face was as white as jade, and he had no beard. His forehead, cheeks, and cheekbones were relatively high. His eyebrows were distinct, and his ears were big.
"How long have you been in the King Yan Residence?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
"Your Majesty, it has been more than ten years," Ma Sheng replied in a voice as loud as a bell.”"Come, let's talk. Imperial Uncle, Duke of Wei, don't come over for now.”
Zhu Yunwen shouted to the surprised Zhu Di and Xu Huizu, then took Ma He to the pavilion at the side and motioned for Ma He to sit down. Ma He didn't dare to sit down and only stood uneasily.
"Your Majesty…"
"Ansai lamu Alai is a dead tree."
Zhu Yunwen said indifferently.
Ma He's eyes widened and he quickly said,""I, Alai, am sleepy."
Zhu Yunwen smiled. It was indeed him.
The conversation between the two of them was just a way of communication for the islamists.
Zhu Yunwen said,"May God bless you with peace." Ma Hehui also said,"May God bless you with peace."
Although Zhu Yunwen was not interested in Western religions, as a later generation, she had more or less come into contact with some Western religious culture. She knew a little about the Christian Lord and the Muslim God.
No matter how bad it was, he had at least eaten Lan Zhou ramen before.
Most of the noodles in Lanzhou were opened by the Hui people, and the Hui people believed in islam.
"Your, Your Majesty…"
Ma He trembled. It had been many years since he had heard the greetings of the islamists. Who would have thought that the sudden greeting would actually come from the emperor of the Ming Empire!
Zhu Yunwen looked at Ma He in front of her and felt a surge of emotions. She had finally found a commander in the era of great voyages!
However, Ma He's past was a little unbearable to recall.
In the 17th year of Hongwu, Fu Youde and Lan Yu marched into Yunnan. At that time, Ma He, who was only ten years old, became a captive.
After that, he was castrated and entered the palace to serve.
"I am not a believer of the religion of the gods, but I have read the Koran.”
Zhu Yunwen said slowly.
Ma He was excited. He did not expect that His Majesty had read the Koran of the Islamic religion.
"I don't care if God is your god. But I hope that from now on, you will follow me and be loyal to me! I'll give you the chance to go on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land of Tianfang (Mecca)! To fulfill your islamic dream!”
Zhu Yunwen said seriously.
Ma He's breathing quickened, and his eyes sparkled.
Dreams!
His Majesty supported his dream!
He could go out to sea?
He could go to Tianfang?
He could touch the Holy Stone and speak his mind to God? "Are you willing to follow me?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Ma He fell to his knees and shouted,""I'm willing!"
Zhu Yunwen raised her hand and said,"Get up. Since you follow me, your name is no longer Ma He. I will give you the surname Zheng and the name He!" Enter the Imperial Steed Bureau and become a seal eunuch!"
"Zheng He!"
Ma He repeated the name and then knelt down.""Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yunwen laughed loudly, feeling very happy.
He brought Ma He to Zhu Di and Xu Huizu and said,""Imperial Uncle, I want this person.”
Zhu Di looked at Ma He and frowned.
He didn't know what was wrong with Zhu Yunwen to snatch his eunuch and guard.
But this time, Zhu Yunwen had no room for negotiation.
What else could His Majesty do if he wanted her? He could only let her go.
Zhu Di nodded helplessly.
Ma He knelt in front of Zhu Di and said,""Ma He is indebted to the King of Yan for taking care of him. I am extremely grateful. I hope that the King of Yan will be famous all over the world and that his health will be healthy.”
Zhu Di sighed. He trusted this guard deeply, but now…
"Imperial Uncle, I brought the Duke of Wei here today because I have something to discuss with you.”
Zhu Yunwen said softly.
Zhu Di smiled very unsightly. He looked at Xu Huizu, not knowing what else he had up his sleeves.
Xu Huizu took a document and handed it to Zhu Di. He said,"This is the policy of the new army. It has been implemented in the capital camp for more than a month and has achieved great success. His Majesty had said that all the soldiers in the world were soldiers of the Imperial Court and should enjoy the same policy, regardless of whether they were inside or outside, or whether they were close or distant.”
Zhu Di took the document and read it carefully. The more he read, the more shocked he became.
These policies involved logistics, promotions, the soldiers themselves, their families, and even the retirement policy for retired soldiers!
Any one of them was enough to win the hearts of the people!
Once such a policy spread to the Ming Dynasty, all the troops would definitely be loyal to the court and Zhu Yunwen!
Who would still work for him in the future?
They would only work for Zhu Yunwen!
This wasn't a new army policy, this was a military conquest policy!
Didn't soldiers come to suffer and use their strength to exchange for food?
Many people joined the army because they had no choice but to make a living!
But now, once Zhu Yunwen's recruit strategy was spread out, then being a soldier was no longer a bitter job, but a satisfying "good job"! At that time, who would the soldiers thank?
Naturally, it was the Emperor of Ming, Zhu Yunwen!
Even if he raised his arm and shouted, even if his arm was broken and his voice was hoarse, few people would be willing to rebel with him. They might even tie him up and send him directly to Nanjing!
"This…Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this new recruit plan will cost a lot of money and food. If we implement it, isn't it a bit risky? If we can't do it, won't it easily lead to a mutiny?”
Zhu Di did not allow such a policy to be issued, at least not in his own army!
Otherwise, he would not be able to command a few people at all!
Zhu Yunwen stood beside the pavilion and looked at the lake. She said,"The allocation of money and grain is the problem of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue had discussed it and they said that there was no problem.”
Zhu Di swallowed his saliva, looked down at the document, and said,"This policy is too generous, and it might reduce the soldiers 'will to fight to the death. If they go to the battlefield and the soldiers cherish their lives and are afraid to advance, what should we do?”
Zhu Yunwen signaled Jiang Wu to pick up some stones for him and said to Zhu Di,"Therefore, in addition to policies, we also need to supplement it with ideology. Let every soldier understand that they are fighting for His Majesty, for Great Ming. Their deaths were for the empire, for the mountains and rivers, for ten thousand years!”
"Besides, I don't think they will dare to risk their lives if I don't treat them well. Could it be that if I treat Imperial Uncle sincerely, Imperial Uncle will not treat me sincerely? I won't believe such absurd words!”
Zhu Di was at his wit's end.
