In Quanzhou Port, ships come in and out, sails are like forests, merchants gather in and outside the city, and Fanyi and Hu people can be seen everywhere. The fleet sailing to the West has been away for more than two years. However, since then, private fleets have gone overseas one after another, and trade with Southeast Asian countries has become more and more frequent. Following the passage of Zheng He's fleet, more and more countries got the news of Ming's opening up to trade, and they came to Daming to do business. Today, the furthest fleet is from countries in the Red Sea region.

It is said that Zheng He's fleet has already sailed there to a more distant place, and the way to go further has not even been to those countries around the Red Sea, where the sky is the limit On this day, the port was still busy as usual, and merchant ships from Persians, Arabs, Indians, and Southeast Asian countries came in and out. Suddenly, whoever first spotted an unprecedented fleet coming from a distance, Soon the news spread like the wind. The people on the dock stopped their work, the sailors on the ship climbed up the high mast, and the merchants stood on the high place and put on the awning to watch from afar.

The boats block out the sky and the sun, and you can't see the side at a glance. Walking in the forefront is a huge and unparalleled treasure ship, with a golden dragon flag flying high on the bow. Although the flag is a bit worn out, the dragon is still golden. On the pier, an official of the Shipbuilding Department looked up and saw that the fleet composed of countless ships of various sizes and sizes was getting closer and closer. He suddenly realized that he screamed strangely: The fleet is back!Our ocean-going fleet of Ming Dynasty is back!Hurry up and report to the magistrate, our Daming fleet is back

This sound is like the great bell of Yongle in Yanjing City. Once it rang, it rippled for a long time on the vast land, drifting to the three mountains and five mountains, and to all corners of the world. At sea, the fast horse boat traveled like an arrow, and on land, the 800-mile fast ride traveled like flying. After two years and three months, the Ming fleet returned from the horizon! The news spread along with the fast horse boat and eight hundred miles of stage horses. Yanjing City, the new Yanjing of Ming Dynasty. The news of the return of the fleet made Zhu Di, who was already showing an old state, burst out laughing, and the laughter echoed for a long time in the Golden Luan Hall.

His fleet is back. His fleet brought envoys from fifty or sixty countries in Europe, Africa, the Arab world, and the Indian Ocean world, including England, Frank, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Germany, Venice, and the Holy Roman Empire, as well as the Pope, the supreme ruler of the West. messenger. His fleet came back with African elephants, African lions, leopards, camelbirds, parrots, peacocks and countless other rare birds and animals. There was even a unicorn, which had the body of a deer, the tail of a cow, the forehead of a wolf, The auspiciousness of the horse's hoof! Two thousand years ago, this auspicious auspiciousness appeared in front of a woman named Yan Zhengzai. Later, this woman gave birth to the most holy teacher, the sage among the saints. Two thousand years later, it appeared again!

His fleet of Emperor Yongle came back, bringing back mountains of gems, pearls, gold, silver, sandalwood, hardwood, spices, tin, and cardamom, and the pigments needed to improve porcelain. Many flowers and plants that did not exist in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the seeds of grains and vegetables unique to the West. Zhu Di's old and powerful voice echoed in the Golden Palace: Ministry of Rites, immediately start preparations to receive envoys from various countries!There is still more than a month, and it will be the first New Year after I officially moved the capital to Yanjing. I want to celebrate a different Spring Festival with all nations and subjects in the world!

Hangzhou Port, Zheng He's ship. Xia Xun said to Zheng He: My memorial has been approved by the Holy Majesty, Your Majesty promised me to go back to Jinling first, and then go to Yanjing with my family.My father-in-law and I will leave here. Zheng He said with a smile: When I was in Quanzhou, I heard from officials that after the emperor moved the capital to Yanjing, the current officials and their families were the first group to move away, and the second group were the emperor's relatives, princes and ministers.Master Daoyan has passed away, and Duke Guo is the only remaining one among the Dukes of the Jingnan Six Kingdoms, and the number one figure among the meritorious officials of the current dynasty.

In addition, Mrs. Zun is the wife and sister of the former empress. She is related to the royal family, and she is also among the best among the royal relatives. She should have moved to Yanjing early, but she has been waiting for you to return. Madam has been delayed until today.The virtuous couple are deeply affectionate, which is enviable! Xia Xun smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Good voyage, father-in-law." Zheng He also cupped his hands and said: "My lord, take care." A light car was driving on the small road in a hurry, accompanied by dozens of fine horses, the horses were brisk, and there were warriors sitting on them immediately.In the car, Fei Hewei reported softly to Xia Xun: Those who are not strong-willed and unwilling to travel far in Qianlong, for fear that they will find out the secrets, most of them have been transferred to the Northwest for business, and those who really cannot do without have been transferred. Clear!

Xia Xun nodded and asked, "How's the matter with Shuangyuwei?" On the other side, Xin Lei grinned: We barely intervened, Zhedong Navy did everything for us.Once the main force of the Shuangyu Guard was transferred away, the remaining old, weak and remnant soldiers were useless. After the Shuangyu Guard was fully taken over by the Zhedong Navy, the Shuangyu Guard officers and soldiers and their families were cut off. They have had a hard time in the past two years. , These officers and soldiers who returned from the ocean must have exploded their lungs after returning. Fei Hewei said: I heard that the officers and soldiers who came back from the ocean made a lot of money?Hehe, so what, the bullying of their family members cannot be solved with money.Besides, the Zhedong Navy has already occupied the Shuangyu Guards, and they will never spit out this piece of fat. Now they have transferred all the Shuangyu Guards to Tianjin Guards to settle down through the operation of the military. It's the complaints, so there shouldn't be any difficulties.

Xin Lei said sadly: It doesn't matter even if someone does tricks later, our Li Long Xia Xun waved his hand lightly, and Xin Lei immediately stopped talking. After the flying dragon, there is a Qianlong, and after the Qianlong, there is a Lilong. What kind of dragon is a Lilong? There is a saying in Song Ci: Once returned to the car to carry it together, it is neither a tiger nor a bear.The torrent retreats bravely, and the dragon lies at the bottom of the abyss. Lying at the bottom of the abyss, it should be the rarest dragon to see. Xia Xun was silent for a moment, then gently pushed a box in front of him, and said: "In this box are the three lost jade seals. Ask Dai Li to make proper arrangements and hide them in the solitary tomb of the owner, and then reveal them to Hu Wei. Be careful. Make no mistake!

obey! The two figures quickly left the light cart, and after a while, several light horses left the team and disappeared into the forest at the foot of the mountain. The sun has slanted to the west, and the ground is golden. Jinling, Jinyiwei South Town Fusi. Brother! Liu Yujue looked at Xia Xun tearfully: I haven't seen you for more than two years, and my eldest brother has lost weight. Xia Xun smiled and said: "Fortunately, the wind and waves have tempered me a bit, and I feel stronger."How long are you going to stay in Nanjing? Liu Yujue said: Master Sai Hazhi has been staying in Yanjing, so I have to leave it to me to deal with the aftermath.I will not go there until the last batch of officials have been removed. Xia Xun nodded, his eyes flickered, and there was an indescribable taste: Mmm!I have to take a step first, then we brothers, this is the parting. Liu Yujue smiled and said: I believe it will only take three to two months, and I will pass by next spring, and it won't take much time.Brother came back, I was supposed to see you, but I asked you to come and see me first, and you gave me so many things, brother is very sorry. Xia Xun smiled and said: "It should be, I didn't go when you got married."Not to send you, but also to send younger siblings, right? Liu Yujue's expression darkened for a moment, and he hurriedly showed his face again and said: Then I will thank elder brother on her behalf. My brother, why are you being polite! Xia Xun smiled, pondered for a while, turned around and slowly pulled out a scroll from the pile of gift boxes, held it in both hands, and said softly to Liu Yujue: Brother, this painting was given to me by Master Luo. It was the day Master Luo committed suicide, do you still remember? Liu Yujue was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to that night of swords and swords. That night, Master Luo committed suicide! That night, Xiao Qianyue committed suicide! That night, Jinling City changed Although, there was only one man in his heart from beginning to end, but in this life, the only one who possessed his body was another man. And that man inherited this painting to this man, two men, one is the man who took away his body, the other is the man who took his heart, through this kind of inheritance, when holding this painting, he has A sense of fusion of body and mind, spirit and flesh. He didn't open it, he knew that this painting was "Map of Driving in Brocade Clothes", he had seen it in Lord Luo's room more than once, and he had carefully brushed the dust on it for Lord Luo. Everyone knows that this is Lord Luo's treasure, and no one dares to touch it except him. He is most familiar with everything on the screen. He looked at Xia Xun and said in a low voice: Brother, why did you give it to me? because A strange smile broke out on Xia Xun's face: You should know that the eldest brother is now famous, and I am the only remaining one of the six princes of Jingnan.Over the years, I have been running around, and I have been busy. When I come back this time, I am afraid that I will seal the knife and enjoy it with peace of mind. Lord Luo passed this painting on to me in the hope that I could inherit the Jinyiwei and carry it forward.But I'm ashamed, I didn't do it, Jin Yiwei was made a mess by Ji Gang.He is finally executed. Sai Hazhi has a straightforward and honest temperament. He is in charge of Jinyiwei, and he has to rely on a caring person like you! By giving you this painting, I am also giving you Master Luo's last wish.Although I have been against Lord Luo for so long, he has always been the person I admire the most! Liu Yujue nodded, held the painting tightly, looked deeply into Xia Xun's eyes, and whispered: I understand!Big brother entrusted me with this mission, I will try my best to do it well! Xia Xun smiled and stretched out his hand, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, which meant a lot.
