Chapter 32 Chapter 166: The Swordsman

The winter wind is strong and fierce, blowing the waves violently, and the huge waves beat heavily on the hull, splashing a pile of foam. The sky was as cloudy as lead, and the sea water became more turbid. There was no blue, no sky green. It roared and churned gloomyly, and rows of huge waves rushed over and over again, hitting the warship in the wind and waves. There was a creaking scream. Chito-sama, we found some ship debris! Hurry up! Soon, a piece of fishing net carried a pile of broken boards on the deck. The thousand households bent down, untied the fishing net with their own hands, and inspected each piece carefully. After a long while, they said dejectedly: "These broken boards are our Materials on the ships of the Daming Navy.

A soldier next to him asked cautiously: Sir, do you think it is Don't talk nonsense! Lord Qianhu stopped his nonsense with a stern voice. Just as he stood up, the soldiers in the watchtower yelled: Lord Qianhu, three warships are found ahead! Qianhu pressed the knife and asked, "Who is it?"Ask them who they are! A semaphore was raised on the bow of the ship, and after a while, someone reported back: My lord, you are from the Hangzhou Navy! Master Qianhu ordered: Lean over! After a while, the ships of both sides approached, and a man in the command uniform on the opposite ship put his hands together into a loudspeaker and shouted: "Are you the brother of the Liaodong Navy?"Have you found anything?

We only found some pieces of the ship!What did the brothers of the Hangzhou Navy discover? We have recovered a few corpses, but we still can't find anyone to identify them. I don't know if they are people on the Duke's boat! The two sides communicated briefly, and the Qianhu official sighed, looked back to the east, and muttered: Japan also went to sea to search for it by imperial order, I hope they can get something there. Next to him, the little soldier said: "The Duke is so capable, he will definitely not die!" Master Qianhu's face was gloomy, and he said softly: I hope so

The fleet of the Ming Dynasty going north encountered huge winds and waves in the Strait of Japan, repeating the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty's expedition to Japan a hundred years ago. The news of the entire army's annihilation has spread rapidly throughout the Ming Dynasty. Liu Yujue went crazy after hearing the news. He inquired about the news everywhere, and after confirming that Xia Xun's news was unknown, he couldn't help crying, and then drank his sorrows with wine. For three days in a row, Liu Zhenfu, who was always polite and polite, turned into a The red-eyed alcoholic was so frightened that none of his subordinates dared to approach him at this moment.

The night was getting dark, and Liu Yujue was still drowning his sorrows with wine. He slowly unfolded the "Map of Brocade Clothes Accompanied by Driving" that Xia Xun gave him, and looked at it slowly, tears falling on the map one by one. He has never dared to unfold this painting, because although it was Yang Xu's wish for him, he was afraid of thinking of Luo Kedi, but now As the painting unfolded, Liu Yujue went to get the wine again tremblingly, but because he couldn't hold the cup steadily, all the wine spilled on the painting.This is a painting left to him by his elder brother!Liu Yujue hastily spilled the wine on the painting, took out a handkerchief and carefully dipped the wine stains left on the painting, suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something.

He held the two ends of the painting scroll, looked at it seriously, then lifted it up to look at the light on the table, and then gently groped for the scrolls on both sides. Crack!With a soft sound, the scrolls at both ends popped open. Both Luo Kedi and Xia Xun had taught him many ways, since they became suspicious, how could this mere method be hard to stop him. Liu Yujue stared at the painting in a daze for a long time, and then stretched out a hand to gently remove the painting. He was a little timid because he had already realized something. The things in the interlayer appeared. Liu Yujue took out the three-layered list, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and slowly opened it. A detailed list jumped into his eyes. Liu Yujue looked at the explanation, looked at the list , his expression changed rapidly.

The founding fathers are all dead, and only the princes of the six kingdoms of Jingnan are left. He is both a relative of the emperor and a nobleman, and has a pivotal position in the army and the court. This was given to me by Lord Luo before he left this world, and now I give it to you When I come back this time, I’m afraid I’m going to seal the knife here, and enjoy myself with peace of mind. The words Xia Xun said came to his mind one by one, and Liu Yujue suddenly understood. Brother, he is not dead!Ha ha ha ha Brother, why don't you take me, why don't you take me?woo woo woo

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and then a burst of crying. The two captains guarding the corridor in Jinyi looked at each other and shook their heads in unison: Your lord and the Duke of the country have a deep brotherly relationship, and you are so sad that you are a little unconscious. Why don't you take me with you? Do you think I don't like this official position?Do you know that the greatest happiness in my life is to be by your side.What's the point of me doing this if you're not here? Tears glistened in Liu Yujue's eyes, he confided in a low voice, and moved the silk cloth with the list to the candlelight.

Soon, the list turned into a ball of flames, and two clusters of flames reflected in Liu Yujue's eyes, burning his heart On the gloomy sea, more than a hundred large ships braved the wind and waves. There are many small islands in this area, and sailors have to be careful because they worry that there are too many reefs nearby. On the flagship, some of Xia Xun's family were resting in their own cabins, and some were sitting and chatting in the cabin. Yang Huaiyuan and his younger siblings were rubbing back and forth in the cabin and cleaning the floor. Xia Xun walked out from the back cabin. Come in, it seems that he has just woken up, and his eyes are still a little sleepy.

When Yang Huaiyuan saw his father, he got up and rushed towards him, shouting: "Daddy, where are we going?" Xia Xun bent down and picked him up, and said with a smile: "A place you've never been to, it's fun, do you want to go?" want!want!Bored at home all day, so boring! Yang Huaiyuan clapped his hands happily when he heard it was fun. Xia Xun patted his butt with a smile, put him down, and said: "Go, take your younger siblings to play!" Turning around, she asked Su Ying again, "How is it? Are all the boats safe?" Peng Ziqi hurriedly said: Since the first day after killing some troublemakers and objectors and throwing their bodies into the sea, no one has dared to object openly. Maybe there are still some people who are reluctant, but they cannot turn the sky.

Xia Xun nodded, then asked thank you: Oh, by the way, how is Li Jinglong? Is he still on a hunger strike and crying? Tang Sai'er snatched the words of thanks, and said with a grin: He is eating now. Xia Xun couldn't help sighing and said with a smile: This man is really a living treasure!Sit down, I'll go to the bow to have a look. Ming'er hurriedly took a big cloak and put it on him, and said: "The bow of the boat is very windy, you just woke up, don't catch the cold." Um! Xia Xun patted his wife's little hand tenderly, opened the hatch, and walked out. As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, there was a biting cold wind, leaving the cabin as warm as spring, this feeling was particularly obvious. The cold wind blows at the bow, and the crew is driving intently. After the tempering of the ocean voyage through Eurasia, these sailors don’t care about such wind and waves. What they care about is the underwater reef. lead them. Xia Xun slowly walked to the bow of the ship and stood still, looking around the railing. Around this large ship, more than a hundred giant ships braved the wind and waves, and marched in sync in the direction he had determined, which was very spectacular. Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly looked at the way with nostalgic and melancholy eyes, where the water and the sky were the same color, and there was no sign of land for a long time. Someone once said that the death of the Ming Dynasty was due to the fate. Because from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to the thirty-fifth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, the global temperature dropped and entered the Little Ice Age, which led to a sharp drop in the grain output of the Ming Dynasty. leading to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Xia Xun didn't take this seriously. The death of the Ming Dynasty, the factor of natural disasters must be one of them, but it can never be the only factor.The Little Ice Age was not aimed at the land of Ming Dynasty. The whole world was covered by it. Who else would perish under its influence? Why did the Li Dynasty of North Korea not die?Why didn't the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan die?Why was the Mughal Dynasty in India at its peak?Why did the Ottoman dynasty in Turkey and the Safawiyya dynasty in Persia last so long?Why is Russia growing stronger?Why are Britain and France safe and sound? Politics, economy, military, culture, external factors, internal factors, countless conditions were intertwined at that time, and the contradictions broke out concentratedly, which was the reason for its demise.But now, it has changed too much, whether it is external or internal. It will become healthier and stronger, leading to the tragic scene that happened in the original history, too many causes have disappeared, and he believes that the country will last longer. For thousands of years, it has been walking in front of the whole world, and it will still be in front of the world now.In the future, even if this dynasty is absent, this nation will not miss out on good opportunities and be left behind by the whole world because it closed its doors when the whole world is advancing by leaps and bounds. It will still be at the forefront of the whole world!He believed that the future of Daming would no longer be the future he knew, it was full of variables and hope, and everything that would happen here would be a story he had never read before. The cold wind was blowing, shaking his clothes, Xia Xun looked affectionately at his hometown again, and then turned his head to look in the direction he was driving. Some people think that there is an endless sea to the east of the Sea of ​​Japan, but Xia Xun clearly knows, no! The front is not an endless sea, but a vast and fertile land. The distance there from Daming is much closer than they sailed to Europe, and also closer than they sailed to the Persian Gulf, and even closer than they sailed from Nanjing to Manga, which is Alaska.Well, it's not called Alaska now, and it probably won't be called that in the future. He hasn't decided on a name for it yet, maybe it's better to leave this kind of thing to Xie Jin and those literati to worry about. Xia Xun smiled slightly In Yanjing City, in Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di leaned on the kang, the kang under him was scorching hot, a camel wool blanket was put on his legs, and there was a brazier in front of him, but his old cold legs were still sore. Jiang Yan, the commander of the Tianjin navy, told the news that they searched the sea and found nothing. After hearing this, Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and waved his hands lightly. Jiang Yan hurriedly bowed and retreated. Zhu Di picked up two secret memorials and rubbed them gently with his aged palms. They were the memorials written by Dongchang Muen and Jinyi Wei Sai Hazhi to find the whereabouts of Fu Guogong. Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor, saw that he was not hesitant, and hurriedly said: The accident of the Duke is really God's will. Zhu Di took a deep look at him, smiled faintly, threw the two secret performances into the brazier, and said sadly: "There is always a feast that never ends!" The memorial was burning blazingly in the brazier, Zhu Di lay down with difficulty, turned around slowly, and turned his back to the brazier.Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stepped forward to unfold the quilt for him, Zhu Di murmured: I have always liked the winter in the north, but now, even the winter in the north is so hard, I am old, really old Grandpa Huang? Zhu Di didn't answer, he just wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, at this moment, he was no different from an ordinary old man who was frail and afraid of the cold
