Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"You mean you want me to persuade them to use you?"

Zhu Ming looked at Ander seriously. He couldn't tell that this foreigner had such big ambitions.

"Yes."

Ander didn't hide anything. He believed that the reason this kid came to him today must be because the big man behind him needed him.

Nautical charts are not given for free.

"I think you came to me because you need me for something."

Ander looked at the kid and just felt that he was just arranged by a big shot, and the tone of his voice was a bit condescending.

Zhu Ming didn't care, after all, what they were here to discuss today was serious business.

"I do need you. We are going out to sea and need someone with experience."

He stood up. Although he was small, he raised his head and looked directly into Ender's eyes without any intention of avoiding him.

This mature look made Ander secretly amazed.

If someone can raise a child into this state, then the person behind him must be an outstanding person.

"However, I need to know where you are from and how much you know about the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Ming did not easily believe Ande. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

He still understands this simple truth.

"Is this the beginning?"

Ender was obviously stunned. He had expected that others would ask about his origins and purpose, but he didn't expect that it would start with this child.

But then he shook his head: "This is probably what you call knowing yourself and knowing your enemy."

His accent was still heavy, but he could already use some simple idioms, and it seemed that he had spent quite a bit of time studying in Daming.

"I am just a commoner, a pirate. I was captured in a clash with Japanese pirates and fled here."

Ander did not hide his identity as a pirate, but stated it openly.

At the very least, the value of a navigator is definitely much higher than executing a pirate.

"pirate?"

Zhu Ming just frowned for a moment, then returned to his normal self and looked at Ander: "Go on."

"There is no doubt that your country is one of the most powerful countries now, so I want to achieve my glory here."

After Ander finished speaking, Zhu Ming also began to ponder.

If my memory serves me right, Europe is still in the hands of the Habsburg dynasty in the Middle Ages.

The current national strength of the Ming Dynasty should still have some advantages over the Holy Roman Empire.

Ender probably didn't lie.

"I can make you important, but not now."

Zhu Ming nodded, this should be enough.

The fact that he could draw that nautical chart already demonstrated Ender's ability.

With Zheng He watching over us, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"how long?"

Hearing Zhu Ming's promise, Ander became visibly excited.

The Ming Dynasty's maritime ban meant that the Ming Dynasty's naval fleet had no experience in ocean-going. As the only candidate, he would definitely be able to completely control the dynasty's naval fleet.

It's hard not to be excited for a pirate to reach this position.

Zhu Ming just smiled and waited until the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship was built to give this foreigner a little shock from the Ming Dynasty.

"I don't know, but you can come with me now."

Zhu Ming shook his head. Now that he had chosen the people to go out to sea, he also needed to figure out the money issue.

"Where to go?"

When he heard that he was going to go with Zhu Ming, Ander became alert.

He is an outsider after all.

"Imperial City."

After leaving two words, Zhu Ming turned and walked out the door.

He only gave Ender one chance.

Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, which proved his ability.

He chose Ander simply because compared to Zheng He who stayed with his fourth uncle, Ander was alone and easier to control.

Ander silently watched Zhu Ming's back as he left. The child didn't walk very fast, but he still didn't have much time to think.

Just as Zhu Ming was about to step out of the room, Ander took a deep breath.

"I'll go with you."

He chose Zhu Ming because he saw that he and the old man who traveled with him were special, so he made the bet.

He is only one person, so even if he loses, how much can he lose?

Zhu Ming just smiled with his back to Ander and walked out the door without stopping.

"Little grandson, you finally came out."

Seeing Zhu Ming coming out of the house, Liu Jin, who had been waiting anxiously, rushed up immediately and examined Zhu Ming carefully.

If Zhu Ming loses a hair, even if Yun Qi is his godfather, he cannot save himself.

"Grandson of the Emperor?"

Ander was also surprised to hear Liu Jin's address to Zhu Ming.

I didn't expect that my bet would be placed on such an important person.

If he is the emperor's grandson, then the child's previous behavior makes sense.

"Little grandson, who is this?"

Only then did Liu Jin notice the strange blond and blue-eyed man following Zhu Ming, and asked out of curiosity.

I was just busy checking on the safety of the little grandson and didn't see such a big person.

This appearance is really strange.

"That's the person I want to use."

Zhu Ming simply responded.

"When you enter the palace, you are not their subject, but mine. Do you understand?"

Zhu Ming didn't look back, but reminded Ander in a deep voice again.

He has to start building up his own power now.

Even if Old Zhu spoils himself, he can't do so for the rest of his life.

"understood."

Ander nodded. After just this brief contact, he had already recognized the ability of this royal family.

"It's so big..."

Following Zhu Ming to the front of the palace, Ander looked at the city walls on both sides that seemed to have no end, and couldn't help but sigh.

I'm afraid even the imperial capital of the Holy Roman Empire is not so large.

The Ming Dynasty was indeed powerful in military force, and I did not make the wrong choice.

"You have been in Ming Dynasty for so long, you should know the etiquette."

Zhu Ming looked at Ande. If he was to take him to see the Emperor now and behave impolitely, it would give a bad impression.

"A little bit."

In front of the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace, Ander, who had been so confident just now, began to show timidity.

"never mind."

Zhu Ming originally wanted to give Ander some simple training, but after thinking about it, he sighed.

There is no time left, so it is better to settle this matter as soon as possible while Mr. Zhu is still enthusiastic about going to sea.

Having said that, he led Ande directly into the Daming Palace.

"My little grandson, His Majesty is probably in a meeting right now."

Seeing that Zhu Ming was going to Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Jin began to warn him nervously again.

No matter how favored the little grandson of the emperor is, it is really inappropriate for him to go to His Majesty to discuss matters.

"I'm looking for Grandpa Huang to discuss matters."

Zhu Ming just responded without pausing for a moment.

He was very serious about completing this task.

This is related to one's future power.
