Chapter 249 Zheng He
Zhu Di smiled, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yan had such an idea. It was so great. He asked repeatedly: "Are you serious about this?"
"Be serious, but the father must keep his word." Zhu Yan looked up at Zhu Di.
"Okay, the deal between our father and daughter has been completed." After that, he swears with Zhu Yan.
"I'm so happy today. My son has collected some delicious recipes recently. I'll make a few delicious recipes for my father to bring them to my father for a taste. How about it?" Zhu Yan said proudly.
"Oh? I haven't seen the emperor for a few days. I actually have such skills. I wonder who I am a disciple of?" Zhu Di asked jokingly.
"Haha, my son knows it without a teacher." Zhu Yan said proudly.
"Okay, my father must try it well and see what level the emperor has reached without a teacher." After saying that, Zhu Di pinched Zhu Yan's smiling face with his hand. I remember that it had not been so warm for a long time. Zhu Di suddenly felt how warm the scene just now was. After getting Zhu Di's affirmative answer, Zhu Yan ran out and ran towards the imperial kitchen, preparing to make delicious dishes for Zhu Di. Zhu Di shook his head, he had no choice but to deal with this daughter.
Chu Yu galloped all the way, rode a horse and ran into the water and took a boat. It took several days to arrive at the Fujian Navy Camp, where he had already received the imperial edict from the court and arranged it for Chu Yu.
When Chu Yu arrived at the Fujian Navy Camp, what he received Chu Yu was unexpected. He was Ma Sanbao, the benefactor who had saved Chu Yu. This surprised Chu Yu very much. The life-saving benefactor was in front of him. How could Chu Yu feel no reason to thank him? Then he stepped forward and said, "Chu Yu didn't expect that it was Brother Ma, please give Chu Yu three wishes."
At this time, Ma Sanbao had been given the surname Zheng by Zhu Di, and now he was renamed Zheng He, which is the great navigator Zheng He in Chinese history.
Let’s first introduce the experience of this great navigator Zheng He: Zheng He was born in Hongwu in the fourth year of Hongwu. His original name was Ma Sanbao. He was from Yunnan. He was smart and studious since he was a child. What’s even more rare is that he had a strong interest in sailing since he was a child. In theory, sailing was not a popular subject in China at that time, and Yunnan was not a place to go to sea. Why did Zheng He like sailing?
This is because Zheng He is a devout Islamic, his grandfather and father both believe in Islam, and all Islamists have a greatest wish in their hearts - to go to the holy city of Mecca to make a pilgrimage.
A pilgrimage to Mecca is the greatest wish of Islamists all over the world. The believers living in Mecca are lucky because they can always look up to the holy land, but for Zheng He at that time, this was really a very difficult thing. Mecca is in today's Saudi Arabia.
Fortunately, his family's financial conditions were not bad. His grandfather and father had been to Mecca. When Zheng He was a child, his father often told him about the thrilling experiences of voyages, traveling through mountains and rivers, and the strange people and events thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away. These deeply influenced Zheng He.
So it is not surprising that Zheng He appeared in the Fujian Navy.
When Zheng He saw Chu Yu want to salute him, he quickly grabbed him, "The Marquis is not allowed. The Marquis is the Marshal of Pingnan this time. All the soldiers of the army take you as a model. How can they salute Zheng He, a small biased general? If it is spread, wouldn't it make people laugh at the world, and how others view me, Zheng He?"
Since Zheng He said this, Chu Yu got up, and the welcome ceremony was quite grand. Before Chu Yu came, the place was always managed by Zheng He in front of him. Seeing that the arrangement was well organized, every soldier's face was full of resolute and confident appearance, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel moved. It seemed that Zheng He was really not a big deal. The reason why Zheng He in history led tens of thousands of people to the West seven times seemed to be a bit real, and he couldn't help but look at Zheng He a few more glances.
There is another story between Zheng He and Zhu Di, which I will introduce here. Chu Yu may not know, but if we know this relationship, we may understand why Zheng He came to Fujian to manage the Fujian Navy.
After Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, conquered Zheng He's hometown, it was logical that there was no fault in resisting the death to defend his homeland. But who was Zhu Yuanzhang? When he saw that since the people in this place were so good at resisting his own attack, he simply let there be no descendants here. Young children were taken to accept the cruel criminal law - castration. Of course, Zheng He was one of them. At this time, Zheng He was only eleven years old, and an eleven-year-old child had lost his right to be a man since then. This is probably the greatest sorrow of this dynasty.
Although Zheng He was only eleven years old, he was disabled and strong in his will, he resolutely joined the Ming army. As the Ming army fought everywhere, the wind and snow in the north and the yellow sand in the desert left his marks everywhere. At his age, he should have played and played at home, but suddenly became a member of the war, running on the battlefield where blood was flowing like a river and corpses were everywhere. Swords and spears replaced the Trojans and dolls. In the military camp, no one would treat him as a child, nor would anyone take care of him or take care of him. In the war, no one could guarantee that he would survive tomorrow, so the only thing he could take care of him was himself. He always told himself to take good care of himself. No one here would pity himself. With such perseverance, he survived in the end.
At that time, Zhu Di was still the King of Yan. He took a fancy to this taciturn but resolute young man at first sight and chose him as his personal bodyguard. From then on, Ma Sanbao followed Zhu Di to fight and became his right-hand man.
Gold shines everywhere. Ma Sanbao is a man destined to achieve great things. In the subsequent Jingnan War, he followed Zhu Di to live and die and made great contributions. Zhu Di praised him many times in his heart.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he gave him greater glory and gave him the surname "Zheng". After that, he changed his name to Zheng He. This name was destined to be glorious in history and was praised by later generations.
Although Zhu Di gave Zheng He so much glory, he did not give him anything in essence. He only had some false positions. Zhu Di was a sensible person. If he wanted to use Zheng He, he would definitely remove him from the hot sunshine of the crowd. Therefore, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, it was difficult for Chu Yu to see him in general, because Zhu Di had a stone in his heart that he could never let go. Similarly, Zhu Di once handed over this stone that he could not let go to Chu Yu to complete. The so-called two-handed thing
Preparation, Zhu Di was a master in this regard. After summoning Chu Yu privately, he handed over the important task of finding Emperor Jianwen to Chu Yu, but he was not relieved. With the same experience, he also handed over the important task to Zheng He. Zheng He was good at water warfare and immediately sent Zheng He to the Fujian Navy to take office. In fact, the main responsibility was to be afraid that Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen would escape from the water. According to the secret reports Zhu Di received, Zhu Yunwen might flee overseas by water, so he was so nervous.
This plan is perfect. Chu Yu was good at fighting on land, Zheng He was responsible for the waterway, blocking all the routes of Emperor Jianwen. If there were planes at that time, Zhu Di would probably send an air force general to monitor the air situation day and night.
Of course, Chu Yu must not know that Zheng He was shouldering the same responsibility as himself. Zheng He also believed that Chu Yu was just a marshal sent by the emperor to fight, and would not think too far. He just carefully introduced the situation around Chu Yu.
As Zheng He said, the actions of the bandits had endangered the local public security. Some bandits often went ashore to rob, kill, make money, and do everything evil. They killed, robbed, and burned them everywhere. When they heard this, Chu Yu recalled the later Japanese invasion of China. They were arrogant everywhere on the land of Greater China, burned, killed, robbed and abused them all, and they couldn't help but bite gold with a vicious look. It seemed that the people of later generations had suffered such treatment. It turned out that these things had happened in this dynasty. Since they had already happened to them, how could they stand by and watch?
In later generations, the country was already peaceful and the people were safe. Whenever I read these history, I felt great shame. I hated that I had been born a few years later and did not catch up with the killing of the Japanese devils. Now this opportunity has finally come and I got what I wish. It happened that this time was the era of cold weapons, and the Ming Dynasty was also a powerful empire in the world. Therefore, Chu Yu was full of confidence and must teach these short-sighted guys a bloody lesson.
Zheng He was sometimes angry, sometimes excited, and sometimes relaxed, and was puzzled when he saw Chu Yu. Could it be that the Marshal had such a rich expression because of his explanation? There was a slight slightest roar in his heart.
"Marson, are you okay?" Zheng He asked carefully.
