Extra Chapter 3: Zhu Yuanzhang On His Journey Around The World’S Continents [Please Subscribe, Pleas
Shengping seven years (1396), November 25th.
The funeral of Queen Ma Xiuying of Taishang also came to an end. After falling into a short and huge grief, the Ming Dynasty began to gradually return to normal life.
But on this day, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had kept Ma Xiuying for two months and listened to Queen Ma's gramophone for two full months, suddenly had hair that had not been washed for ten or eight days.
He ran to his eldest son Zhu Biao and said:
"Boss, we are going to sea, please make arrangements."
Zhu Biao, who had just finished handling political affairs, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard his old man's words:
"Dad, what did you say?!"
"You want to go to sea?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with great certainty:
"Yes! We are going to sea, please make arrangements, the sooner the better!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but wonder:
"Dad, okay, why are you going to sea suddenly?!!"
Moreover, his father is already sixty-eight years old this year. At this age, he still has to go to sea. Zhu Biao is really afraid that his father will die outside and never come back.
In addition, although Ming's routes to South America, North America, Oceania and other overseas continents have become increasingly mature in recent years, this does not mean that there are no navigation risks at all.
In the past few years, I have also heard from time to time that the Ming Navy fleet has suffered more or less losses due to various maritime accidents.
Therefore, Zhu Biao was unwilling or unwilling to let his father go to sea from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and snorted coldly:
"Humph, your mother has passed away. Why don't you tell the second, second, and third children to pay their respects?!!"
"And the gramophones your mother "Qibaqi" left for each of them, shouldn't you also send them to them?!!"
Since the death of his old wife, Zhu Yuanzhang and his eldest son Zhu Biao, who was his favorite, couldn't stand it.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said:
"If my mother passes away, I must tell my second brother, third brother, and fourth brother all about it for a week."
"The gramophones my mother specially left for each of them must be sent to them."
"However, if this happens later, I will arrange for a trusted general to deliver the news of my mother's death along with the gramophone she left behind."
"Why do you have to go there yourself?"
"Moreover, the child just lost his mother. Do you want the child to be born so soon that you won't even be able to see his father?!!"
At the end of the sentence, Yibiao started to cry half-seriously.
After hearing Zhu Biao's last words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face softened, and he stroked his eldest son's head and sighed:
"We are strong and strong. What are you afraid of? We will still have a lot of time to get along in the future!"
"Moreover, when your mother was alive, we promised her that after we visited the Ming Dynasty with her, we would go visit other overseas continents with her, and see the second, third, and fourth children."
"Although your mother is gone now, we still have to fulfill the promises we made to her."
"The other overseas continents that your mother can't see, the second, third, and fourth ones, let me go see them on her behalf.
"We'll be back when we finish reading it!"
"If you want us to come back early, then arrange for the navy fleet to set off for us early!"
"Okay, stop pushing me so hard, if you push me harder, I'll kill you!"
After hearing his old man's unquestionable decision, no matter how reluctant Zhu Biao was, he finally reluctantly agreed.
The old man of his family decided what he wanted to do, and Chu Yeniang opened his mouth to persuade him.
Otherwise, let alone nine cows, even ten cows would not be able to pull it back.
But his mother is gone now, so don't expect to be able to persuade his old man.
And since he couldn't be persuaded, Zhu Biao could only start thinking about who should be arranged to go to sea with his father, so as to make him feel at ease.
First of all, his fifth brother Zhu Xi must be arranged.
One is because his fifth brother Zhu Ju's medical skills are very good. In the vast sea, or in other overseas continents, "if his old man is not acclimatized or something like that."
Then if his fifth brother is here, he can be treated in time.
Second, although other naval generals are trustworthy, if the old man in his family becomes stubborn, other naval generals will definitely not dare to persuade him.
And if his fifth brother is by his side, he can more or less be able to offer some advice.
Third, no matter how considerate other naval generals are, they are definitely not as considerate as his fifth brother in treating his old man.
Fourth, his mother had just left not long ago, and the old man's mood was unstable.
In this case, there must be a family member who can allow the old man to vent his anger by "beating and scolding" without regard to "human feelings", so that the old man can "beat and scold" to vent his anger during the ocean voyage and take care of his physical and mental health.
There are various other reasons, etc., so his fifth brother Zhu Zhu will definitely go to sea with him.
When Zhu Biao was finalizing the candidate to accompany his old man to sea, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said that he would take Yan Changqing with him.
Looking at his eldest son's confused eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely opened his mouth to explain:
"Yan Changqing has the wisdom of a Saint. His vision is far beyond ordinary people. He can play a very important or even incomparable role in the country's long-term construction, planning and layout, political system and other aspects."
"Your brothers' feudal kingdom has just started. It's just right for him to come over and give you some guidance to make their feudal kingdom construction go smoother."
Hearing his old man's words, Zhu Biao also thought of Yan Changqing's ability.
In recent years, Yan Changqing has devoted most of his time and energy to the invention and research of steam engines, steam trains and thermal generators, and has rarely taught them new "Dragon Slaying Techniques".
But to be honest, Yan Changqing started his career with "Dragon Slaying Technique"!
And what is "Dragon Slaying Technique"?!!
On the positive side, it is the guiding ideology and theory on how to plan and operate a national policy operation!!!
On the other hand, it is how to target various shortcomings of a country's current policy system, and even various shortcomings of national policies in the future, and then use these shortcomings to subvert a country's guiding ideology and theory!!!
So in a sense, feudal states like Qin King Zhu Di, Jin King Zhu Fan, and Yan King Zhu Di, who have just started to build, are more suitable for Yan Changqing to show off his talents.
Of course, Yan Changqing can also play a huge role in Ming Dynasty if he continues to stay.
Improvements in epoch-making inventions such as steam engines, steam trains, and thermal generators also require Yan Changqing's guidance.
However, after careful consideration, Zhu Biao finally decided to add Yan Changqing's name to the list of people who would go to sea with his old man.
Anyway, Yan Changqing is only forty-four years old this year. Judging from Yan Changqing's physical condition, it won't be a problem to live another ten or eight years.
Let him give his brothers a life of more than ten years first, then catch him back and continue to shine for the Ming Dynasty, and that's it.
Therefore, Zhu Biao embarked on the path of squeezing Yan Changqing with peace of mind.
In addition to the two entourages of Zhou Wang Zhu Ju and Yan Changqing, after hearing about this incident, Prince Zhu Xiongying also jumped out and said that he would go to sea with him.
Prince Zhu Xiongying is also very interested in other overseas continents.
It was a rare opportunity to go to other overseas continents with Grandpa Huang and others, and Zhu Xiongying naturally did not want to miss it.
However, Zhu Xiongying's idea was rejected by Zhu Biao as soon as he expressed it.
For Zhu Biao, even if he can let anyone else go to sea to other overseas continents, it is impossible to let Zhu Xiongying go to sea to other overseas continents at this time.
Because unlike others, Zhu Xiongying is the prince and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and represents the bed and bed of the Ming Dynasty!
To put it bluntly, even Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, Yan Changqing and others all died in other overseas continents.
For the Ming Dynasty, there would not be much turmoil except for the whole country falling into a short and huge grief.
But if Zhu Xiongying, the crown prince, died in another overseas continent, then the transfer of power of the second and third generation emperors of the Ming Dynasty would surely fall into the turmoil of a huge battle for the crown prince and crown prince.
By then, even if he wants to cultivate a new crown prince, he may not be able to cultivate another outstanding crown prince like Zhu Xiongying.
You must know that Zhu Xiongying was educated and trained by his father, himself, Yan Changqing and others.
It can be said that no prince or grandson received a better imperial education than Zhu Xiongying received.
Likewise, no third-generation prince or grandson has more outstanding abilities than Zhu Xiongying...
For Zhu Xiongying, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao himself, or Yan Changqing, they all have extremely high hopes.
Zhu Biao was even willing to spend his 20 years in power recuperating and recuperating for Zhu Xiongying.
So that after Zhu Xiongying succeeds to the throne in the future, he can use this substantial family wealth to create great achievements that reach far beyond the Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties.
This in turn pushed the Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented, new imperial dynasty peak!
Therefore, under such circumstances, unless Zhu Biao lost his mind, he would not take the risk that Zhu Xiongying might get into trouble at sea and let Zhu Xiongying go to other overseas continents.
Don't even talk about letting Zhu Xiongying go to other overseas continents. Zhu Biao plans to transfer Zhu Xiongying back from the northern Xinjiang grasslands in two years, and then let Zhu Xiongying start supervising the country and assisting in government, and learn how to become the third party of the Ming Dynasty in the future. On behalf of the emperor.
And Zhu Xiongying, who had been rejected by his father, was naturally unwilling to give up the opportunity to go to other overseas continents.
After all, if he misses this opportunity now, it will be even less likely that he will have the opportunity to go to other overseas continents in the future.
Zhu Xiongying naturally knew more or less about his possible future arrangements.
If his estimate is correct, in about two years he will not even be able to stay in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, and will have to respond to Tianfu to supervise the country and assist the government.
At that time, neither his father nor the civil and military officials in the court would allow a prince to go to other overseas continents at the risk of getting into trouble.
And when he succeeds to the throne as the third emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future, it will be even less likely that he will have the opportunity to go to other overseas continents and risk accidents.
Otherwise, once something happens to him, it will be a huge turmoil for the entire country.
So after calculating this, if he misses this opportunity to go to sea.
So if he wants to go overseas to other overseas continents in the future, he might have to wait until he has trained the fourth generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty and abdicated as Emperor Taishang.
It will be thirty or forty years later at least. Zhu Xiongying does not have the patience to wait for such a long time.
So Zhu Xiongying turned around and went to find Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, Yan Changqing
Waiting for others, wanting them to intercede on their behalf.
However, the result was a pity. No one, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, Yan Changqing or others, agreed.
Therefore, in the end, Zhu Xiongying could only represent his father, Emperor Zhu Biao, to bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, Yan Changqing, Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Youdun and others at the port.
Yes, Zhu Xiongying, the third-generation imperial grandson, did not have the opportunity to go to other overseas continents, but Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Youdou did.
Because Zhu Biao thought about it later, in addition to his old man having to have his own family members at his disposal, his fifth brother and Mr. Yan also had to have one or two under their control.
Only those of your own family who can be used at your disposal.
Moreover, this trip can be regarded as a way to increase my experience and understand the customs and customs of other overseas continents.
By the way, let's see if Zhu Youdun, the eldest son of King Zhou Zhuji, will have the idea of going to Africa to establish a kingdom.
After all, among the overseas continents, Africa was temporarily reserved for the descendants of King Zhu Zhu of Zhou.
If Zhu Youdou also has ideas about this, then he should start making arrangements in advance now.
After all, if you want to go overseas and establish kingdoms in other overseas continents, that is not something you can just talk about.
That would require Zhu Youdun to recruit naval officers himself, and provide corresponding benefits to subdue them, and finally make them willing to follow him to Africa ten times.
And if Zhu Youdou does not have this idea in the end, then it is estimated that Zhu Youdou's next generation of children will hardly have this opportunity again.
After all, as time goes by, the support that Ming Dynasty can give to the descendants of King Zhou Zhu and his descendants will also decrease with the passage of time.
After making arrangements in all aspects, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, Yan Changqing and others to start an ocean voyage from Daming to North America, and then from North America to
South America.
Then he returned to Daming from South America, and then from Daming to Oceania.
Then he returned to the Ming Dynasty from Oceania, and then arrived in Europe from the Ming Dynasty.
Then he returned to Daming from Europe, and finally from Daming to North Asia for a journey around the world!
This trip lasted five years. .
