Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Xiao Qi looked at the chart seriously, and after firmly memorizing the position, nodded and said: "I will take orders from a humble position, and I will definitely live up to the entrustment of the general."

Zheng He patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder and said, "If I don't believe you, I won't let you go. You will go down and prepare in a while, and you can start tomorrow."

Xiaoqi responded.

Afterwards, Zheng He explained some details to Xiaoqi, and when all the agreements that should be made were made, Zheng He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, is the girl named Second Sister Shi alright?"

Xiaoqi nodded: "The food is good, the drink is good, but the scolding every day is a bit ugly."

Zheng He smiled and said, "Let her scold you. Anyway, there is a lot of meat. Remember to take her back with you when you leave. I think Shi Jinqing is also worried."

"Understood, the humble job will go down and prepare first."

"Well, let's go."

Xiaoqi resigned and left.

soon.

The next day arrived, and when the sky was still dark, Xiao Qi knocked on the door of Second Sister Shi's room.

After a sound came from the room, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Second Sister Shi pointed at Xiao Qi and said, "You are willing to come to see me, tell me, how long are you going to lock me up?!"

"I'm taking you back today." Xiao Qi rubbed his nose.

"go back?"

Second Sister Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then she came to her senses: "Have you discussed with Chen Zuyi? Have you accepted Chen Zuyi's attachment?"

Xiaoqi nodded: "Yes, and things can't be changed."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoqi was ready to receive Second Sister Shi's scolding again, but she didn't expect that Second Sister Shi fell to the ground in a daze.

next moment.

Second Sister Shi burst into tears.

This made Xiao Qi look weird.

quite a while.

Seeing that Second Sister Shi was still crying, Xiaoqi frowned and said, "Okay, okay, don't cry, won't this take you back, and besides, I haven't wronged you, so why are you crying?"

"What do you know?" Second Sister Shi cried and said, "My father and I volunteered to remind you, but as soon as I came, I was caught by your little guy, and I didn't even see Zheng Qin's face. Blame you bastard, you pay me Zheng Qin's face."

Xiao Qi rubbed his nose: "If I'm an asshole, I'll be an asshole, then can you go to the boat and cry, we should go, I still have something to discuss with your father."

"You... I don't have the face to see my father again. My father reminded me ten thousand times, but I still messed up the matter. If your Daming Fleet is destroyed by Chen Zuyi, what will we do in the future?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Second Sister Shi cried even harder.

Xiao Qi was speechless.

He waited for a while, but after waiting and waiting, there was no sign of Second Sister Shi stopping.

Xiaoqi had no choice but to say angrily: "It's okay, I'm convinced, don't cry, I'll tell you something."

Second Sister Shi was unmoved.

Xiao Qi raised her eyebrows and said impatiently, "If you cry again, I won't tell you anything, and I'll just tie you to the boat, believe it or not."

It's better to be a threat.

Second Sister Shi tried her best to stop, and finally stopped crying, but the tears were still streaming down the eyes looking at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi curled her lips and said, "You didn't mess things up, we know that Chen Zuyi surrendered falsely."

Ok?

Second Sister Shi's brain froze in an instant, and she waited for a while before she said, "Then what are you discussing with his people?"

"If not, how can we bring them all out?"

Second Sister Shi's mouth grew wide in an instant: "Are you... are you going to..."

Xiao Qi nodded.

"But why didn't you tell me until now?" Second Sister Shi suddenly became angry again.

Xiaoqi said speechlessly: "We trust your father, as for you...you can trust you because you scolded us for two months, but you dare to say that everyone you bring is trustworthy? And let me remind you, Before our fleet departs for Palembang, you’d better not tell anyone about it, if you Srivijaya don’t have spies from pirates, I wouldn’t believe it even if you were killed.”

Second Sister Shi's brain reacted for a while, and she was speechless.

Xiao Qi curled her lips and said: "I don't know why your father let you go out, the girl's family is troublesome, can I go now?"

When Second Sister Shi heard that Xiao Qi said she was troublesome, she immediately wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything. Her usual sassy temperament seemed to be tempered by Xiao Qi at this moment. up.

"I can go." Second Sister Shi said aggrievedly.

Xiao Qi then curled her lips and said, "Don't call me Daming an idiot?"

This…

Second Sister Shi's face turned blue and red for a while.

Wait until the two of them come outside.

Second Sister Shi looked at Xiaoqi's back, and secretly complained: "What are you looking like, who would have thought that you would have prepared and taken precautions early in the morning."

……

Chapter 407 - Do you want to stay?

A few boats on the sea sailed towards Sanfo Qi with the wind and waves.

Second Sister Shi on the boat looked at the handsome young general from a distance, wrestling with the soldiers on the deck. She couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when she thought of the words she had scolded him all the time before, but luckily her complexion was dark, and no one would No redness could be seen in her face.

Speaking of which, she scolded her for two months, and some of her words were unavoidably unpleasant. Ordinary people may not be able to bear it, thanks to that little General Zhen who didn't care about it.

However, this little General Zhen is really hateful.

Among the men on the sea, there is no one who treats people like him.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the deck, and General Xiao Zhen won the wrestling, facing the sun with a smug smile, the sharp-edged smile was extremely bright.

Second Sister Shi curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't anyone come out, kill him with his vigor, let me be so proud."

……

Life on the ship is very boring. Most of the time they gather on the deck to have fun with each other, but the sea is not always calm, and sometimes they often encounter huge waves.

But the crew on this ship is always extremely calm.

Especially that little General Zhen.

As the days progressed, Second Sister Shi felt more and more that Little General Zhen was good. He seemed to be the pinnacle of the seafarers, and often a single sentence could make all the crew members work together.

Unknowingly, Second Sister Shi began to follow General Xiao Zhen every day.

She has seen that after the waves wet his clothes, he is not afraid of the cold, bare-chested, vigorously stirring the sail rope with the crew, and she has also seen him jump into the sea in sunny weather like a fish swimming happily .

She was curious and wanted to see more.

But Srivijaya has already arrived.

For the first time since she was a child, she felt that this flight was a bit shorter.

After getting off the boat, Second Sister Shi was in a low mood, and Xiao Qi came to her side at this time: "Hey, have you lost your soul? It's your territory, why don't you treat us well?"

Second Sister Shi gave Xiao Qi a blank look, but said nothing.

Xiao Qi said unhappily: "What do you mean, I raised you for two months with good food and drink, and now you are stingy?"

"Then I'll lock you up for two months too!" Second Sister Shi said angrily.

"Good guy." Xiao Qi stared and said, "How can you hold grudges so well? Come on, why don't I stay away from you?"

After all, Xiao Qi turned to look for other soldiers, and soon Xiao Qi chatted and laughed with other soldiers.

Second Sister Shi wanted to call Xiao Qi to stop, but she couldn't say it out. He watched Xiao Qi carelessly frolicking with a group of big soldiers, and she became even more angry for no reason, so Second Sister Shi didn't say anything. Without saying anything, he strode forward dully.

But she didn't know why, every time she talked to Xiao Qi, she couldn't help becoming a little irritable.

soon.

Second Sister Shi brought Xiao Qi to her home in secret, and that afternoon, Xiao Qi and Shi Jinqing had a secret discussion. Apart from Xiao Qi and Shi Jinqing, Second Sister Shi was the only one in this discussion.

Xiao Qi and Shi Jinqing had a heated discussion, so Second Sister Shi looked at Xiao Qi secretly. She watched Xiao Qi pointing out Jiangshan, saying that she was going to capture Chen Zuyi alive, and gradually her mind drifted away to nine days away.

as time flows.

The trade winds suitable for the return voyage of the Ming Fleet began to blow on the sea.

Zheng He had discussed with Xiao Qi before that when the trade wind came, they would anchor and set off for Palembang. Xiao Qi felt the sea breeze this day, and said to Shi Jinqing beside him: "The fleet will arrive at Palembang in a few days. , we should start now, if we miss the timing and allow Chen Zuyi to escape again, it will be bad."

Shi Jinqing nodded.

Afterwards, their fleet started to sail towards the designated location in the sea area. While letting the clippers inquire about the position of Zheng He's fleet, he adjusted their speed according to the position of Zheng He's fleet.

when they arrive at the location.

At this time, Zheng He led the fleet and had just arrived in Palembang.

Dozens of Chen Zuyi's ships in front of the sea area of ​​Palembang greeted them. Zheng He laughed when he saw this scene on the command ship. He generously put down the wooden boards and let Chen Zuyi's men board the command ship.

When Chen Zuyi and his group boarded the command ship, Chen Zuyi grinned grimly, drew out his knife, and roared, "Brothers, seize the ship, seize the treasure, and kill!"

All the pirates rushed towards Zheng He in a swarm.

At the same time, Chen Zuyi's dozens of ships also started a preemptive attack.

However, at the next moment, Chen Zuyi's surprised cry came from the command ship: "Fuck, it's been tricked!"

……

At this time, Xiao Qi was talking to Liao Yu and the others, and Second Sister Shi walked over pretending to be relaxed, she looked at Xiao Qi and said, "When you catch Chen Zuyi, are you going back to Daming? "

Xiao Qi grinned when he heard this: "Isn't it, is it possible that you have been floating in the sea for two years?"

Second Sister Shi snorted, and then asked with a smile: "By the way, I think you are capable. My father has praised you several times. How many people did you bring in Daming?"

"Thousands of people, what's wrong?" Xiao Qi asked.

"That's all?" Second Sister Shi couldn't believe it, and then she pretended to be casual and said, "Why don't you stay, I'll go and tell my father, let you take two or 3000 people, how about it? With so many more people, you have a better future than you in Daming."

Xiaoqi, Liao Yu and others were all stunned.

What did you just hear?

What is more promising than being in Daming?

"What? Am I wrong?" Second Sister Shi looked at Xiaoqi and the others with weird expressions, and frowned again: "Two to 3000 people are just the beginning, and you will definitely lead more people in the future, maybe Five thousand, 1 people is not out of the question."

1 million people.

There are only ten thousand people in Sanfoqi Sea.

Ten thousand is really a lot.

The corner of Xiao Qi's mouth twitched: "Well, did you leave Daming when you were very young?"

"I grew up in Sanfo Qi." Second Sister Shi said.

"No wonder." Xiao Qi said to Liao Yu and the others: "We have to understand this. I met a person from a small country last year. He said that the people on our fleet must be all people from our Ming Dynasty. The country can send 3 to [-] people to sea together."

Liao Yu suppressed a smile and said, "I understand."

Second Sister Shi knew that what they said was not good, she stared and said, "Who are you looking down on? Although I have never been to Daming, my father told me about it. I know that there are many people in Daming, but I asked my father on purpose. My father also told me that it is very difficult to get promoted in Ming Dynasty, from leading 1000 people to 1 people, it is as difficult as reaching the sky."

This is true, 1000 people are thousands of households, 5000 people are commanders, and 1 people have to be commanders of the capital.

It is obviously difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

But is Xiao Qi an ordinary person?

His family status is doomed, as long as he is not the kind of dude who fights cocks and walks dogs, he will definitely be able to reach the top level step by step.

Just like he has been promoted very quickly in recent years.

This is what it means to be a son of a lord.

Xiao Qi opened his mouth and said: "It may be difficult for other people to get promoted, but it may not be difficult for me. Even if my credit is not obvious, but if I follow the steps, I should be able to lead 8000 people in a few years."

"How is it possible." Second Sister Shi said in disbelief, and then she said angrily, "Even if you don't want to stay and look down on us San Buddha, you shouldn't be talking big."
