Because of his voyages to the West and Korea, Emperor Hongzhi was very anxious during this time!
Now that I heard the word Xishan, my heart skipped a beat, and I started thinking: "Since Xiurong is going, I will accompany her."
"What?" Zhu Houzhao was a little confused. This rhythm was not within his expectation.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Take me there. Not only will I and your sister go, but your mother will also go for a walk. She has always wanted to go to the palace, but it's just too inconvenient. She will have to take a bath in a few days. Let the ministers in this court also go for a walk, many of them still don¡¯t know the sufferings of the people"
"" Zhu Houzhao already wanted to die.
Zhu Houzhao was filled with frustration and hurriedly said: "How many people are needed, father this we are here to treat my sister."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "It's good to go for a walk. What, you're not happy?"
"Happyhappy!" Zhu Houzhao knelt straight and tried his best to smile.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
The Scum of the World King Bushi has finally docked. In fact, the ship has undergone some repairs. The majestic ship still looks quite impressive in this desolate land!
Xu Jing discovered some Francois on an island near Lu Song. After diligent negotiations with them, both sides seemed to be wary of each other. It seemed that these Francois intended to build a trade point here. Don't want to cause trouble.
After they learned that Xu Jing came from the Ming Empire, they showed great interest.
At the same time, Xu Jing also learned that these Westerners who claimed to be Francois had established many trading points in Luzon, Sumatra and other places, and their cargo ships had begun to shuttle back and forth across the Western Ocean.
This is an uninvited guest.
Xu Jing actually quickly became involved with them, and the Francois seemed to be very concerned about the situation further east, and repeatedly asked why the Ming Dynasty did not trade with the West.
Xu Jing began to learn the half-baked French language. Even before leaving, a small French vendor seemed willing to follow Xu Jing into the West and was willing to provide some assistance. He claimed to be a Western expert.
So Xu Jing left this man behind in Bushi, the Scumbag of the World. This Francois carefully observed every move of Xu Jing and others, and worked hard to learn Chinese. Of course, he stubbornly believed that he should It is better to choose a Chinese name that has connotations.
Xu Jing was very enthusiastic and immediately expressed his willingness to give him a Chinese name with deep meaning - Wang Xizuo.
The reason why he is named Wang is because this ship is also named Wang, and the reason why he is called Xizuo is of course to remind the sailors, boatmen, and soldiers on the ship to label this Frankie first so that everyone can know , Never reveal any secrets.
And Wang Xizuo lived up to his reputation as a fine writer. Although he was mixed with half-baked Chinese, he went around giving small gifts to people on the ship to show his kindness. Occasionally, in the process of learning Chinese, he would suddenly become abrupt. He suddenly asked how many troops the Ming Dynasty had and how their training was going How many such ships were there
In response, the crew members ignored him.
At this time, Xu Jing jumped off the boat, followed by the extremely excited Qianhuguan Yang Jian, who was finally able to dock.
They sent out scribes and began to contact villages or cities on land.
"This is the country of Manlajia" Xu Jing looked into the distance, feeling the atmosphere here, and said: "It has been more than four months, and we finally arrived here. The people here are quite simple. They sent envoys to my Ming Dynasty back then, but they soon lost contact. It is said that there was civil strife in the country. Put away your swords and don't be nervous."
So the people on the boat also began to get off the boat, some began to look for water sources, and some were responsible for setting up camp.
The number of people who died of illness on the ship has exceeded double digits, which is worrying. Many people are no longer willing to continue westward, but when they see land, all their frustrations are gone
"The women here are pretty good." Xu Jing lowered his voice and said to Yang Jiandao.
Yang Jian licked his mouth, his eyes were shining, but he said coyly: "I am not such a humble person. The editor should not say such nonsense."
Xu Jing's eyes were glowing green. The life on the ship was really difficult. Unfortunately, women were not allowed on the ship. It was too ostentatious. He finally understood why Emperor Wen wanted Eunuch Sanbao to lead the fleet to the West. As a fleet As the chief officer, it is really a life-threatening thing to not bring a few women on board. If you don¡¯t have great perseverance, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to bear it.
Xu Jing patted his head, trying to endure it.
That day, in the dead of night, in the tent, without the bumps and shaking of the ship, Xu Jing felt a little uncomfortable, so he lit an oil lamp in his tent!
With the oil lamp slowly burning, Xu Jing knelt down on the desk, gently picked up his pen, and wrote something every day. For him, it had become a habit to relieve loneliness during this mission.
"On November 26, the thirteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, it's sunny. It's been one hundred and twenty-three days since we went to sea. The fleet arrived at Manlajia. The fate of Manlajia was unpredictable. At night, thirteen miles north, we found that A market¡¡±
He roughly recorded today's situation. He was silent, facing the oil lamp, and picked up his pen again, his eyes a little moist: "I have been traveling westward, but there is no news from the capital. I don't know how my mentor is doing. The west is cool. It is already snowing heavily when I come to the capital. My mentor is young. , I don¡¯t know if I have put on more clothes, and I don¡¯t know if the old illness has recurred, so I am very worried. I think that my teacher is an extraordinary person, and there is no need to worry about it, but it is really unreasonable for me to worry"
Thinking of his mentor, Xu Jing pursed his lips and was silent for a long time.
He misses his hometown and his homeland, and what he misses even more is his days in the capital. There I played happily with several senior brothers and served my mentor. Although my talent was far inferior to that of several senior brothers, my mentor repeatedly encouraged me and said that the most important thing to him was myself. These warm words made me Xu Jing is still unforgettable.
When people are far away from their former homeland, their longing for the past and the people in their homeland will continue to amplify.
Therefore, when he thought of his mentor, his senior brother, in the dead of night, Xu Jing couldn't help sobbing. During the day, he was an editor who was good at dealing with people and the backbone of the fleet, but at night, he It was Xu Jing who was not particularly talented and could not hold his head high in front of his mentor.
After sobbing for a while, he sniffed and took a deep breath. What he regretted in his heart was that before leaving, he did not ask his mentor to give him a gift so that he could keep it with him and at least leave him in his thoughts.
He finally continued to write: "Everyone on the ship was homesick, and there was an endless stream of requests to return. However, my mentor had already told him to go west, all the way west, and never return as long as there was still breath. Officers, soldiers, The emotions of sailors, helmsmen, etc. still need to be comforted.¡±
"As for the king of the ship, Xi Zuo, he is traveling with us on the surface, but he clearly hides his ambition. Through this person, he can learn the language of Franco! I have seen the ship of Franco, and it is very good, so this person can be used in the future. We need this person to help us negotiate with the Franji people. We can also use his mouth to explore the westward route. This is called killing three birds with one stone, but we must be careful and guard against it"
Writing, writing, he was extremely tired. He lay on the desk, grinding his teeth and murmuring in his sleep. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes without knowing when, and he fell asleep like this.
Early the next morning, I heard the sound of the horn, as if even the earth was shaking.
There is a chaos outside: "Compilation, editing, there is an army of thieves, there is an army of thieves."
Xu Jing hurried out of the tent and saw more than a hundred officers and soldiers who had prepared firecrackers and swords, ready to attack. Other sailors, porters, warriors, etc. who came ashore also gathered in fear
Xu Jing looked into the distance calmly, and saw a few elephants in front, followed by many people densely packed behind them. There was a red cloth hanging on the elephant, and he didn't know what was written on it.
"Put away your weapons, put away your weapons!" Xu Jing evoked a smile, and then said seriously: "This is the etiquette of the Manlajia people, a gift to welcome guests. Don't move, just wait here, I will lead you A few people came forward to negotiate. Also, prepare some silk and come with me. The Manchurian people are very particular about meeting etiquette"
So a dozen people followed Xu Jing out of the camp and walked towards the dense crowd. The people behind them were frightened when they saw the war elephant.
Wang Xizuo was also mixed in the crowd, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand. He carefully observed everything.
Sure enough, the Manglajia people in front showed no hostile behavior. A man who looked noble had dismounted his war elephant and came towards them with a smile on his face, accompanied by a group of guards.
Just as he got closer, suddenly, the Prince of Manlajia seemed to see something, and his face suddenly became serious. The guards behind him also shouted. They originally held precious rhinoceros horns and ivory in their hands as a gift to welcome the distinguished guests. Gift, but at this moment, someone was frightened and wanted to draw a knife.
Everyone behind Xu Jing also became nervous, wondering what was going on.
Xu Jing's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He was convinced that when Sanbao eunuch came here, he left a good impression on the Manlajia people. The other party already knew his identity and should not make a big move against the strange guests, but they Why
At this moment, Xu Jing seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stopped, and Wang Xizuo behind him happened to take a step forward and came to his side
Soon after, Xu Jing reached out and slapped Wang Xizuo on the face!
Wang Xizuo fell down in response and let out a moan. Xu Jing softly said to Wang Xizuo: "Now, you are pretending to be our prisoner!"
When the princes and guards on the opposite side saw this, they breathed a long sigh of relief, became relaxed again, and continued to step forward with smiling faces.
The two sides gathered together, saluted each other and exchanged gifts.
They each made gestures and struggled to communicate. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Xu Jing seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stopped. Wang Xizuo behind him happened to take a step forward and came to his side
