Chapter 873: Farewell Before Leaving, Emperor Jin’S Tripod And Emperor Qi’S Stele [Please Subscribe,
On October 15th, the first year of Shengping (1390), Songjiang Prefecture, Qinghua Prefecture Coastal New Area Naval Military Base, was also the place where Zhu Biao served as the governor of the prefecture for four years.
After four years, Zhu Biao, the emperor, returned to this place again.
Of course, not only Zhu Biao, but also Zhu Yuanzhang who was Taishang Emperor, Taishang Queen Ma Xiuying, Taishang Princess Da Dingfei Dalan, as well as vassal kings such as King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Di of Yan, and King Zhou Zhu.
There is also Yan Changqing, as well as other civil and military officials, etc., who are all gathered here at this moment.
The reason is also very simple, it is to practice it for Jin Wang Zhu Fan and Qi Wang Zhu Su who will entrust the kingdoms of North America and Oceania.
After more than a year of preparation, Ming Dynasty finally raised enough daily necessities to meet the daily necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation for 2.6 million people for a year.
Because in addition to the 400,000 naval officers and the 1.6 million family members of the naval officers, the total number of craftsmen, college students, and their families is about 200,000.
So in general, the number of people who will actually immigrate to other overseas continents should be around 2.2 million.
But everything must be considered unexpectedly, and it cannot just be calculated based on the actual living materials for 2 million and 200,000 people, so in the end, an additional 400,000 people were prepared for living materials.
In addition, there are various fruit tree seeds, vegetable seeds, medicinal seeds that may be unique to the Ming Dynasty, as well as livestock such as stallions, donkeys, cattle, and sheep.
In the end, these supplies were so large that the naval ships controlled by Jin Wang Zhu Fan and Qi Wang Zhu Shu were far from being able to contain them.
Today, the Ming Dynasty has a total of eight fully-organized naval fleets, one of which was formed by Yan Changqing and Zhou Wang Zhu Ji, and the other six were formed by Prince Zhu Biao, Qin Wang Zhu Xi, Jin Wang Zhu Fan, Yan Wang Zhu Di, etc. It was established by the vassal kings.
The remaining one was newly established this year and last year after the shipyard affiliated with the Ministry of Industry saw the wood to smoke.
After years of advancement in shipbuilding technology, every established naval fleet now has 400 battleships that can carry about 700 people.
As well as 600 cruisers that can carry about 400 people, 1,000 frigates that can carry about 300 people, and 500 pioneer ships such as Haicang ships, wave sailing ships, and fast sentry ships that can carry about 200 people.
In other words, a fully-organized naval fleet has a total of 2,500 battleships, cruisers, frigates, and vanguard ships, which can carry about 90 people in total.
The number of naval officers, craftsmen, college students, and their related family members who want to immigrate under the command of King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Su of Qi each totals about 1.1 million.
Therefore, let alone enough to meet the various daily necessities required by these 1.1 million people for a year, even these 1.1 million people cannot be fully contained.
Therefore, it was finally decided that the naval fleets controlled by King Zhu Di of Qin, King Zhu Di of Yan, and King Zhu Zhen of Chu, as well as the naval fleets controlled by Zhu Biao in the past and controlled by the imperial court, would be temporarily lent to King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Qi Zhu Shu.
The imperial court left behind the newly formed naval fleet, as well as the former naval fleet formed by Yan Changqing and Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, to continue to be responsible for salvaging and catching marine fish at sea, ensuring that the daily supply of salted fish meat needed by the people of the Ming Dynasty would not be cut off.
With the addition of four more organic naval fleet ships, [sound masters Zhu Nan and Ji Yu Zhu Zhong can temporarily have one more organic naval fleet ship for use.
One fully-organized naval fleet can accommodate 920,000 people, and three fully-organized naval fleets can accommodate a total of 2.76 million people.
After deducting the 1.1 million immigrants, there is still room for 1.66 million people, which can be used to store various daily necessities.
At this point, we have just solved the problem of 1.1 million immigrants and the storage of various daily necessities that are enough for 1.1 million people for a year.
On the pier of the naval military base, Taishang Queen Ma Xiuying looked at her son Jin Wang Zhu Fan, her eyes were red, and she choked with sobs and warned:
"After you go to North America, you must write a letter and ask the returning navy fleet to bring it back to your mother. Do you know that you can tell your mother that you are safe?"
"I don't know what the emperor is like over there in North America, but now the Ming Dynasty has begun to enter autumn. By the time you arrive in North America, it will probably be winter."
"When you go there, you must pay attention to keeping warm from the cold. You must always have a few imperial doctors with you and don't go to any dangerous places."
"And after you get there, don't eat the food there first. Eat the food you brought from Daming first."
"After you finish eating the food you brought here, your bodies should slowly adapt to the soil and water environment there."
"At that time, if we eat the food grown there, we won't be acclimated to the climate."
"Also, the water must be boiled before you can drink it. You must not drink the water raw there, do you understand?"
"Mr. Yan said that there are many invisible germs in raw water. If you drink raw water directly, you will easily get sick."
"Whenever you encounter wind and waves at sea, you should immediately stop and take shelter, you know?"
Queen Taishang Ma Xiuying warned her one after another, and King Zhu Fan of Jin did not show the slightest impatience and responded with the same sentence:
"My child can write letters. He will not only write a safe letter to his mother when he gets there."
"On the way there, I would write a letter about my experiences at sea every day, and then I would have someone bring it back to my mother together with the letter of safety.
"Relevant clothes, quilts and cotton clothes are all on board. I will put them on as soon as the weather gets cold. Mom doesn't have to worry about me catching a cold."
"I will let the imperial physician accompany me at all times. Once I feel uncomfortable, I will immediately ask the imperial physician to take a look at me."
"I will also eat the food brought by Daming Dynasty first. After I finish eating the food from Daming Dynasty, I will eat the food that comes out.'
"I will also boil water first and let it cool before drinking. I will also abide by other health and hygiene precautions taught by Mr. Yan."
"The Ming Dynasty's naval fleet has been to North America nearly twenty times before, and the route from the Ming Dynasty to North America is also very mature.'
"There have been no accidents in the last seven or eight trips to North America, so mom doesn't have to worry about me."
However, even so, the mother was worried when her son traveled thousands of miles, not to mention that the North America where Jin King Zhu Fan was going on this trip was more than a thousand miles. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was thousands of miles.
There is even a possibility that this trip will be a farewell, and mother and son will never see each other again in this life.
This is not only a separation of life, but also a farewell of death in the future.
How can Queen Taishang Ma Xiuying feel relieved about this?
Therefore, Taishang Queen Ma Xiuying, who has always been aware of the overall situation and steady and generous, finally couldn't help but persuade:
"Otherwise, son, please stop going to North America and stay in Ming Dynasty to accompany your mother!"
"I will talk to your father about going to North America and ask him to send someone else to go!"
King Zhu Fan of Jin was slightly startled when he heard this, then firmly shook his head and replied:
"As the king of the Ming Dynasty, I have the responsibility to expand the territory and open up new territories!"
"And besides me, who else can Mom let go?"
"Second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, they are also your sons. If you don't want me to go, how can you let them go?"
"And if the Ming Dynasty vassal king does not go, let other civil servants and generals go instead."
"So do those overseas continents belong to our old Zhu family, or to other ministers who split the land and sealed the borders?"
"And I don't want to live under my eldest brother all my life and be a rich and idle king who does nothing!"
"I hope that one day I can surpass my eldest brother, and even my father, and create a great cause greater than that of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Taishang Queen Ma Xiuying burst into tears.
In fact, she also knew that it was impossible to stop Jin King Zhu Fan from going to North America to establish a kingdom.
Because now, this is no longer just a matter of Jin King Zhu Fan.
But at this moment, there are more than 6,000 naval ships parked on the pier, millions of overseas immigrants, as well as countless civil and military officials, noble marquises and nobles from all over the Ming Dynasty who have devoted themselves to preparing for the state affairs for the past two years!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang can't say anything about canceling Jin King Zhu Fan's trip to North America to establish a country.
Otherwise, the millions of naval officers and family members who are currently anchored at sea and are preparing to follow King Zhu Fan of Jin to go to North America to establish a kingdom will suddenly become resentful.
After all, it was King Zhu Fan of Jin who first said that he would go overseas to establish a kingdom, and they also packed their luggage, sold their fields, houses, etc. in Daming, and were prepared to take the risk of drowning at sea. .
As a result, King Zhu Fan of Jin now said that he would not go. Isn't this making fun of their millions of naval officers and family members?
This is not only playing tricks on their millions of naval officers and family members, but also on all the civil and military officials and noble marquises in the imperial court!
At this time, if King Zhu Fan of the Jin Dynasty said that he would not go to North America to establish a kingdom, then maybe there would be a civil dissatisfaction and mutiny on the scale of millions of people!
So unless Jin King Zhu Fan suddenly died suddenly, as long as Jin King Zhu Fan is still alive, he will have to go to North America with millions of naval officers and family members to establish a nation.
Looking at his crying mother, Zeng Wang Zhu Gang once again comforted himself and said:
"Don't worry, mother, it's not very far from Daming to North America. If everything goes well, the round trip will only take about three or four months."
"When I gain a foothold in North America later, I will definitely come back to see my mother!"
"When the time comes, I will bring some local specialties from North America back to my mother!"
Hearing Jin Wang Zhu Fan say this, even though Taishang Queen Ma Xiuying knew that her son was comforting her, she still managed to show a smile and responded:
"Okay! Once you have established a foothold there, remember to come back and see your mother!"
"There's no need to bring souvenirs or anything like that. As long as you're safe, it's better than any souvenirs!"
On one side, King Zhu Fan of Jin was comforting Queen Taishang, Ma Xiuying, while on the other side, King Zhu Bo of Qi and Princess Taishang, Princess Da Ding, were comforting King Tan Zhu Zi.
King Zhu Shu of Qi was not the biological son of Queen Taishang Ma Xiuying, but because of etiquette reasons, King Zhu Bo of Qi called Queen Taishang Ma Xiuying his mother like King Zhu Fan of Jin.
The biological mother of King Zhu Bo of Qi is Concubine Taishang, Concubine Da Ding, and Concubine Taishang Concubine Da Ding has two sons in total, namely King Zhu Su of Qi and Prince Zhu Zi of Tan.
In the original history, Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, was also relatively unlucky. In April of the 23rd year of Hongwu (1390), Tan Zaifei's brother Yu Xuan was involved in the Hu Weiyong case and was executed.
However, although the princess's father, Yu Xian, was dead, he was included in the Hu Party because of his son, so Tan King Zhu Zi was in fear all day long.
After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he sent an envoy to King Tan to comfort him and summoned King Tan into the palace.
As a result, King Tan was so frightened that he burned himself to death together with Princess Tan. He was only twenty-two years old and had no posthumous title after his death.
In the end, because Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, had no children, the feudal kingdom was eliminated.
And this time, Princess Taishang and Concubine Da Ding will also go to Oceania with Qi King Zhu Su to establish a kingdom. This was specifically requested by Qi King Zhu Bo from Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, after Zhu Yuanzhang abdicated the throne to Emperor Taishang, he prepared to go with Queen Ma
Traveling around the world, I will definitely not take Concubine Da Ding with me.
The King of Qi, Zhu Su, thought that instead of staying in the deep palace and being dull and uninterested, it would be better for his mother and concubine to go to Oceania with him to establish a kingdom.
And after going to Oceania, his mother-in-law has the highest status and can do whatever she wants.
No rules or etiquette can restrict his mother and concubine. This is no better than staying in the deep palace!
At the same time, he did not have to part ways with his mother and concubine because he went to Oceania to establish a kingdom.
So after persuading his mother and concubine, Zhu Zhu went to the emperor to request that his mother and concubine should accompany him to Oceania to establish a kingdom.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection to this. After all, to put it bluntly, Concubine Da Ding was just a concubine to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't care too much if there were one more or one less concubine like this.
The only wife that Zhu Yuanzhang really cared about was Empress Ma.
If Jin Wang Zhu Fan dared to ask Queen Ma to go to North America with him, then Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely slap Jin Wang Zhu Fan loudly and let Jin Wang Zhu Fan understand what it means.
Father as a mountain.
And if Concubine Da Ding also went to Oceania to establish a kingdom with Qi King Zhu Bo, then in a sense, the mother and son would be the only one left in the Ming Dynasty.
Azusa is alone.
So Concubine Da Ding was comforting Tan Wang Zhu Zi, her second son, and Qi King Zhu Bo was also comforting Tan Wang Zhu Zi, his younger brother.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the sky, then interrupted:
"."Okay, it's almost time. If you delay it any longer, you won't be able to leave today."
"Besides, before you leave, we also have a gift for you."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands, and then among the crowd behind him, hundreds of laborers pushed two large flatbed trucks over.
On the two flatbed trucks, there was a large cauldron measuring seven feet seven and a large stele nine feet five tall respectively.
Among them, the tripod has thick upright ears, folded edges, a rectangular belly, and four pillars at the bottom. The four corners of the belly, the middle of the upper and lower edges, and the upper part of the feet are all equipped with ribs. There are exquisite coiled dragon patterns cast around the body of the tripod.
and Tao Tie pattern.
The dragon pattern is cast on the feet, and the pattern expresses the dragon shape (good king Zhao) with clear lines. The three characters "Jin Emperor Ding" are cast on the inner wall of the abdomen. The font is vigorous and the shape is plump.
On the front of the stele, there are inscriptions on the art of farming and animal husbandry, and on the strategy of unifying the four seas, while on the reverse side, there are inscriptions on the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and vegetation.
In the center of the front of the stele, there are also three ministers "Qi Emperor stele" engraved on it.
Both this tripod and this stele are made of bronze, steel, gold, silver and other materials, and are cast as a whole. They are indestructible. It can be said that they represent the most representative works of the Ming Dynasty.
High level of casting technology.
"I can't give you the imperial seal, so this Jin Emperor tripod and Qi Emperor stele can be regarded as our founding gifts to you."
"I hope it can take my place to protect your good health, the smooth founding of the country, and the longevity of the country!"
King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Su of Qi looked at each other, and both knelt down and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Thank you very much, Father, for gifting us with the founding treasure of our country!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then turned around, no longer looking at Jin Wang Zhu Fan and Qi Wang Zhu Yan, and waved his hands pretending not to care:
"Okay, okay, leave quickly. It's not like I won't come back after the founding of the country."
Seeing this, King Zhu Fan of Jin and King Zhu Bo of Qi also asked people to move the Jin Emperor Tripod and Qi Emperor Stele to their respective boats. Then they looked at everyone present with a smile and said loudly:
"Father, let's leave now, don't miss us too much!"
"Brother, Mr. Yan, please take care of yourself!"
"Second brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, we will take the first step."
"Goodbye everyone!"
On the side, Zhu Biao, King of Qin Zhu Xi, King of Yan Zhu Di, King of Zhou Zhu Ji, and King of Chu Zhu Zhen also waved goodbye and said:
"Bon Voyage!"
"Take care!"
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, remember to tell us, and I will come find you then."
After Jin Wang Zhu Fan and Qi Wang Zhu Zhu boarded the ship one after another, they gradually sailed away.
Zhu Yuanzhang then turned around, looked at King Zhu Gang of Tu and King Zhu Bo of Qi who were leaving and murmured:
"You must arrive safely and smoothly...".
