Chapter 34: The Dragon Born (4)

On April 20th, the first year of Jianwen, everything is suitable, and the benefits are in the southeast.

The vassal of the King of Liao was sent to Xiaguan Wharf and personally gave it to the seven charlatans to encourage it. The King of Liao responded with the "Linjiang Immortal".

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothing. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter are on the river bank, and they are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet each other. What are the past and present? They are all laughing at each other.

Yang Jing, the Minister of Justice, commented that the meaning of the poem is graceful and lamented, showing his loyalty; people at that time commented that the poems of King Liao hidden sonorousness and hidden the spirit of an emperor.

Facing Dajiang's feelings and loneliness about his own situation, Zhu Zhi stole the poems of his descendants for the first time after he came to the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Zhi chanted in front of his father and ministers, everyone was not surprised by the exquisiteness of the lyrics. Instead, everyone was silent and fell into contemplation of the surging rivers.

The lucky boat that Zhu Zhi was riding slowly left the Xiaguan water surface, and the ceremonial guards that were seeing him off on the shore appeared and Zhu Zhi stood at the stern of the boat and waved goodbye to the capital that had besieged him for two years.

The dragon traps the shallow water, the tiger falls into the sun, and finally throws it behind you, with the vast sea and the sky in front of you.

Atractylodes stood beside him, and the tears were still not dry. This was the time when a mother felt the most. She left her three-year-old child and cried to death.

Taking a son as his qualities is the most rogue political rule in the ages, but even a modern person cannot escape this fate.

As a mother, Bai Zhu was in great pain. As a father, Zhu Zhi was full of grief and anger. A manly man had to do something like this that made the beard bow down. This cowardly aura made Zhu Zhi unable to swallow it no matter what.

But there was no way, even the King of Yan sent his three sons to the capital as a qualifier. In this way, Zhu Zhiche was forced to make some statements. His father-in-law Guo Ying allowed the prince to return to Beijing through activities.

In the end, there was no choice but to have his second son Guixie stayed in the capital and raised by his grandmother.

At that time, Zhu Zhi didn't know how to talk to Atractylodes, but the reality was so cruel. When Atractylodes learned the news, her reaction surprised Zhu Zhi. Atractylodes bit her lips tightly.

Without saying a word, he packed his clothes in the afternoon and personally sent Guixie to the palace and handed it to his grandma.

It was not until the big ship started that Atractylodes' tears burst out. Zhu Zhi hugged his wife in his arms and comforted her carefully. Feeling the sobbing Atractylodes, Zhu Zhi's heart was like a knife.

The ship was finally far away, and a man with yellow hair and blue eyes suddenly emerged from the cabin. It was Salini! Zhu Zhi didn't expect that he would actually lead the fleet to greet him in person. There was another person beside Salini, who was the navy commander Tongzhi Yuyi.

The two of them ran to Zhu Zhi in three or two steps, and Salini knelt on one knee: "Respect the prince and the princess, and they will eventually fail to welcome him. Please forgive me."

Zhu Zhi, who had been comforting Atractylodes, suddenly couldn't bear it in front of his old subordinates, and his eyes felt wet: "Okay, okay. Lao Sa, you still remember me." As he said that, he quickly helped the two of them up.

Seeing Zhu Zhi crying, the two couldn't help it, and tears burst out from their eyes. Salini choked and said, "It's been two years, and for two years, the Liaodong Navy has been missing His Highness every day. In the past two years, the Navy has been sobbing that he has been so tired that he has been in the port every day.

Now, Your Highness is finally going back to Liao. Lao Sa welcomes His Highness to return to Liaodong on behalf of all the soldiers of the Navy."

The last words were very loud, and they spread throughout the warship. The sailors and officers of the ship shouted in unison: "Welcome Your Highness to return to Liao, the King of Liao is thousands of years old and thousands of years old and thousands of years old.

"The sound waves were transmitted from the Fuzhou to the Quanzhou behind, and the shouts overwhelmed the surging rivers. This was the expectation of his navy for the commander, and Zhu Zhi, who was just worried about his son's affairs, finally felt a little energetic at this moment.

On the distant waterway, two "dynasty"-class battleships were pulling up their sails, which were anchored on the water surface of Jiangyin. The fleet escorting the Liao King back to Liao. From a distance, a row of colorful flags were hung on the mast, and the flag words showed: Send the Liao King back to the vassal.

The two fleets were getting closer and closer, and suddenly the starboard side of the "Da Ming" sounded a "bang, bang, bang" sounded at the river bank, and then the starboard side of the "Da Han" that was parked behind also sounded a "bang, bang, bang" sounded a "bang" one after another.

The sailors on Zhu Zhi's ship rushed to the cannon position nervously. Salini shouted to the deck: "This is the Ming Dynasty's ground cannon, you useless guys. Order, the medicine is empty on the port side, and the gift is returned.

"There was a burst of laughter on the deck. Everyone was ordered by the artillery officer, and they put medicine on fire. "Bang, bang, bang" warships on both sides came and went, and gulls and egrets were shocked on the beach by the river.

Salini intends to slow down the speed of the two ships and let the two "dynasty-class" open the way in front. The fleet adjusted the ship's position and headed towards the estuary of the Yangtze River at a speed of twenty miles.

Zhu Zhi, who was standing at the stern of the boat, suddenly felt particularly at ease. This was his own ship and his territory.

Zhu Zhi settled down with Atractylodes and two children, and called Yang Rong, Salini and Yu Yi entered the captain's room in the back cabin.

As planned, Yuyi led two lucky ships to Nanjing to welcome him, but Salini received a letter from Tiexuan Feige in Danluo. After learning that the Liao King had returned to the vassal state, he really couldn't sit still.

Fearing that the two lucky ships were not strong enough to protect Zhu Zhi, he personally led the three battleships of the "Taishan", "Songshan", "Huashan" and four cruisers to head south and anchor to the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Salini took a small boat and went upstream, and found Yuyi in Jiangyin. When he learned that Zhu Zhi was going to Jingzhou for business, he did not receive an order and did not dare to say anything, so he stayed on the "Fuzhou" and waited until Zhu Zhi returned to the vassal before he dared to come out of the cabin to meet.

Salini said: "Since the Governor Yang came, I have been leading the fleet in Danluo in the past six months. This is a boring thing. Now, your highness is back to Liao, so let the Yang surname stand aside quickly."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said without saying a word. Yang Rong said, "Haha, it's understandable that General Sa's strategy to avoid disaster in the past six months has been suffocated. But even if His Highness returns to Liao, it is not the time to make a big move.

Your Highness’s situation is not very good now. When you go back this time, your highness’s three guards will be transferred away, replacing the Yulin Right Guard, Guangning Right Guard, Guangning Central Guard and Dingliao Right Guard with Gaizhou Guard, Ningyuan Guard and Guangning Right Guard. “

Salini opened his mouth wide and said, "What does this mean? Gaizhou Guards and Ningyuan Guards are also considered soldiers? Eighty percent of the people are packing their crops in the field?!"

Yang Rong said: "General Sa and General Yu are not outsiders here, and Rong is not a secret. Your Highness has been in the capital for two years. Both of them are smart people. Needless to say, they know the reason.

The court was still worried when His Highness returned to Liao, so he changed the guards of the Liao King to weaken His Highness's strength. Of course, His Highness's return to the vassal state is the most important thing. Only in this way can the court's doubts be avoided."

Salini said angrily: "Damn it, the bird court, your highness is loyal to conquer the country in Liaodong, and he knows suspicion, what's the matter!"

Naoyi Lala Salini said, "General Sa, please pay attention to your words." Naoyi has always been with Salini, and the two have a good temper and have a good relationship in private.

Yang Rong gave Zhu Zhi a wink. Zhu Zhi said understandingly: "Since ancient times, loyal ministers have been suspicious, and Yue Wumu has been loyal to each other all his life. It is not just a false statement that he will die.

Forget it, I have been discouraged for two years in the capital. In the eyes of some people, I have ambitions in the eyes of all the country and loyalty. This time I return to Liao. I only want to indulge in the mountains and rivers with my beautiful wife and son, write poems and compare success, take horses and hunt, and spend the rest of my life."

Seeing that Zhu Zhi was so depressed, Salini seemed to have become a different person. He couldn't speak for a moment, but Yu Yi continued: "Your Highness, you cannot agree with this humble position. Your Highness is the prince that Taizu valued the most.

In the past, Taizu Jinkou: Your Highness is really a thousand-mile horse from the Zhu family. Among such praise, the only one among the sons of Taizu is. Moreover, Taizu enfeoffed His Highness to Liaodong and the land of four battles. Why is the one who relies on the most important thing is His Highness’s courage.

In the seventh year of Liao, His Highness launched an army to revolutionize the system, worked diligently and loved the people, attacked the Jurchens in the north, and defened Mongolia in the west. He subdued Goryeo in the east, and expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of miles. His achievements were as good as Kaiping, Zhongshan, and everyone in the world was obeyed and praised by all officials.

The so-called great responsibility given to this man must first work hard. Your Highness suffered some suspicion because the wood was fascinated by the forest. Now let Your Highness return to the vassal state. This shows that the court still trusts Your Highness. It is time for great potential.

Your Highness should go further,

Although Liaodong is now in power, who can defend Liao if it is not Your Highness? All the soldiers and civilians in Liaodong are looking forward to your highness’ return.”

As he said that, Yu Yi stood up, knelt down and said, "Your Highness, we are willing to use our power as a dog or a horse."

Salini was a rough man but not a fool. Seeing that Yu Yi expressed his feelings like this, he also knelt on one knee and said, "I, Lao Sa, will meet Your Highness, like a fish in water. Your Highness said that in the future, I would travel around the world with Lao Sa, how could I have the idea of ​​retreating?

What Your Highness knows is the place where I, Lao Sa, rushes to death.

To some extent, Salini's confession has surpassed the responsibilities of the subordinates of the vassal kings. What does it mean to give great responsibilities to this person? What does it mean to "relief in the world and be clear and peaceful in the world.

"Isn't this clearly arbitrary to the vassal kings? Yang Rong was so happy that he heard it. It seemed that the two generals of the Navy were already devoted and loyal to Zhu Zhi.

He also immediately stood up and knelt down and said, "Your Highness, all of us old brothers in Liaodong follow His Highness's leader, and we hope that His Highness will regain our might."

Zhu Zhi felt relieved. At least the navy is still his own subway leader. He quickly helped the three of them up and said, "Since everyone is so unyielding, I, Zhu Zhi, can only do my best.

"After saying that, Zhu Zhi suddenly felt in his heart, Damn, I'm going to pull everyone to make a revolution, would he have to be so hypocritical?

The four of them were in agreement at this time and then discussed the matter in Liaodong. According to the report of Yuyi, after receiving the instructions of Zhu Zhi last year, the focus of the shipbuilding was transferred to the transport ship. The improved 4,000-material large-scale lucky ships were all on board, occupying the ship platform in Jinzhou. Considering the confidentiality, after discussion between Tie Xuan and Yuyi, they still felt that the ship could not be built for Goryeo, otherwise the advantages of the Liaodong Navy warship would be learned by the other party.

Now six ships have been launched, and the other six have been laid on the keels. By the end of the year, the navy's blessing ships will reach twenty, which are enough to transport all personnel and equipment in a guard.

Zhu Zhi said: "Twenty ships are far from enough. Goryeo's shipbuilding technology is good, so we should divide some ships for them to build.

Dingshi is too careful. Do you think Goryeo wouldn't secretly send people to learn shipbuilding technology? Technology can never be hidden. The other party has learned our technology. Only by forcing us to further improve and update our technology can we always be ahead of our opponents.

"Sarini and Yu Yi thought about Zhu Zhi's words.
