The deep blue of the sky is reflected in the blue water, and the waves gently lap against the side of the ship.
Zhu Gaochi was sitting in the middle of the cabin by the window, his eyes rising and falling with the sea water. He suddenly had an illusion. It was like the clouds in the sky, now swimming in the sea water, as free and cheerful as a fish.
He stood up hard, held on to the window and looked out. On the sea route from Jiaodong to Japan, he encountered two winter tides. The warship he was riding in looked extremely huge when it was docked in the port, but it was like a giant in the tide.
The boat can capsize at any time.
His gall was tortured to pieces and his intestines were knotted. Along the way, he finally understood what the power of heaven and earth is.
But at this moment, the warship was moored quietly in a foreign port, and the sea water that frightened him became calm again. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the terrifying sea was so within reach.
Looking out, his face seemed to flash through the clear water.
"I've lost so much weight!"
He touched his face feebly, feeling that the skin and flesh on his face felt as if he had given birth to eight sons. He hugged the breasts of the mother who was breastfeeding every day, and her mother's breasts were as loose as sacks. He flicked them back with his hand.
Drooped and swayed twice.
Along the way, he vomited countless times, as if he had vomited out everything he had eaten last year, and also as if all his energy had been vomited out.
"How did I offend you?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at his silhouette in the sea and cursed miserably in his heart, "I'm a man from the North, and you were sent to the sea. Do you know how much suffering I suffered along the way? I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and there were so many people around me.
There is no one to serve you. Vomiting all the way around is worse than vomiting when a woman is pregnant with a child."
Cursing, he suddenly wanted to cry and couldn't help but smell his clothes, "I'm so damn rotten!"
Then, he looked at the boundless coastline in the distance and said, "Zhu Yunxi, what's wrong with you! You're a pervert, you know how to bully me. Ugh..."
Suddenly, my chest and abdomen were turbulent.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't bear it any longer, so he lay on the window and squirted from his mouth.
"Ugh, vomit..."
In fact, there was nothing left in his stomach to vomit. At this moment, yellow water spurted out of his nostrils and mouth.
"vomit......"
I couldn't control the vomiting, and it became more violent each time.
"Ugh... cough cough cough..."
With a thud, Zhu Gaochi's body fell softly, and he used his last strength to shout to the outside, "Three Treasures!"
There were strong footsteps in the corridor of the cabin, and then the cabin door was opened directly, revealing a young and resolute face with bright eyes.
"Three Treasures!" Zhu Gaochi's voice was filled with tears.
"Uncle, have you vomited again?" The man who was called Sanbao came in quickly, lifted Zhu Gaochi up with his strong arms and placed him on the couch. Then he took the towel he had rushed and carefully wiped Zhu Gaochi's mouth and face.
This man's name is Zheng Sanbao, and he is one of the personal guard commanders around Zhu Gaochi, his father, King Zhu Di of Yan.
His first name is Zheng and his nickname is Sanbao. He has a face that is both resolute and delicate. If you look closely, there seems to be something different between his eyebrows and eyes that are different from those of traditional Han people, and he looks a bit like a Semu person.
In fact, his ancestor was Sai Dianchi, King of Xianyang of the Shangzhu Kingdom during the reign of Emperor Sejong Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty. This person had been an important official of the Yuan Dynasty starting from Wokuotai. His family was originally a royal family in Central Asia.
The whole family surrendered to Mongolia.
He successively served as the political minister of Pingzhang in Shaanxi and Sichuan. The power in the hands of the political minister Pingzhang in the Yuan Dynasty was far greater than that of the chief envoy of a province in the Ming Dynasty today. The Ming Dynasty was just about governing the people, and Sai Dianchi, the political minister of Pingzhang, controlled the five roads in Shaanxi.
As well as all officials from top to bottom of Sichuan Xingshu Yuan.
What is even more rare for him is that he was the first Pingzhang political minister of Yunnan after China established the province of Yunnan, and during his reign, he worked hard to truly integrate Yunnan into the Chinese territory. Kublai Khan burst into tears when he heard the news of his death.
In terms of origin, Zheng He can be regarded as a junior nobleman. His family has a long history and a profound heritage. His father, who died in the war, still carried the title of Marquis of Dianyang.
However, at the turn of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, a descendant of a noble family like him fell into the hands of the Ming army...
When Lan Yu Fu Youde and others pacified Yunnan, the most favorite thing those killers did was to kidnap the descendants of these nobles, stab them directly, and then send them to the palace...
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign in Yunnan, Zheng He was purified and became an eunuch when he was still a child. After many twists and turns, he was sent to Zhu Di's side to serve him.
But unlike ordinary eunuchs, probably because Zheng He was born well and received strict education since childhood, Zhu Di soon discovered that this young eunuch was capable of both literary and military skills. After taking him with him, he showed superhuman talents.
This time, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, went to sea. Because he could not bring women with him, he specially asked Zheng He to accompany him.
"Damn it, I'm going to die!" Zhu Gaochi was lying on the couch, his bulging belly kept rising and falling, and his mouth was weak, "I'm going to die from blood, I've vomited out the gall!"
"Master, don't talk nonsense!" Zheng He spoke in a very soft and pleasant voice, "You are the Crown Prince of Yan, how can you be as vulgar as a rough man? Outsiders have heard..."
"Okay, okay, Sanbao, come and teach me a lesson!" Zhu Gaochi pulled open his collar with his fat hands, "Look where is this place for people? How much hardship have I suffered along the way? Going to the sea? What's so good about this sea?
of......"
Zhu Gaochi rambled on, saying that he was the Crown Prince of Yan, and he had to respect etiquette and dignity in front of outsiders, so he could only complain in front of confidants like Zheng Sanbao.
Zheng He, on the other hand, listened to Zhu Gaoxu's chatter and looked at the sea outside the cabin.
"The sea is quite nice. There is a completely different world on the other side of the sea..."
He suddenly remembered what his father and grandfather said to him when he was a child, that the sea is far wider than the land. He also remembered the strange overseas experiences that his father and grandfather had told him when he was a child.
By his grandfather's generation, his family had changed the surname to Han, but because his ancestors believed in Islam, his ancestors had followed the Semu people's fleet to Mecca...
"I've suffered a lot this time..."
As Zhu Gaochi was talking, he suddenly noticed that Zheng He was absent-minded. Then his eyes fell on the other person's wrist and found that the other person was wearing a string of rosary beads. He smiled and said, "Are you studying Buddhism again just now?"
Zheng He's ancestors believed in Islam, but he himself believed in Buddhism.
Hearing this, Zheng He looked away, smiled, put the rosary beads back into his sleeves, and said with a smile, "I'm joking, I can't call it research, I'm just reading scriptures!" As he said that, he poured a basin of water with his own hands.
He sent it to Zhu Gaochi and said, "You are not too talkative. Sir, you are now the envoy of the country. There is no precedent for crossing the sea as an envoy to other countries."
"You are both the grandson of the emperor and the envoy. You represent the face of the royal family and our Ming Dynasty, as well as the majesty of the heavenly kingdom. No matter how hard and tired you are, you must not complain. Not only must you not complain, but you must also behave dignifiedly...
"
"I know! Sanbao, you are so verbose!" Because they grew up together, Zhu Gaochi had such a deep friendship with Zheng He in addition to master and servant, "Isn't this in front of you? Others
Face, how can I say this!"
As he said that, he sighed deeply again, "As soon as you have come, take care of it, and once you have done it, do it to the best of your ability, ha! Is that what you say?"
