Chapter 2185 Return to Daming
"News from the news."
The straightness of Zhu Zhanji station is almost comparable to the thick wooden pillar outside the door.
Fang Xing's heart tightened and felt his eyes felt a little sore, as if he was overusing his eyes.
He blinked his eyes, and Zhu Zhanji was also a little funny when he saw this, and said, "The news just came from the horse, Hong Bao... is back."
The wind blew in from outside, and there was a crisp sound of wind chimes at the door.
The wind chime was swaying, Fang Xing took a look and knew that it was from the workshop that was presented to the palace.
"I don't want to ban this, but I've been making trouble for a long time. I just say it's nice, so I'll ban it."
As a man, he naturally has no interest in this kind of love thing similar to a woman. Only then did he wake up this mentality before.
"Hong Bao...Taixi..."
But at this moment, his mind was full of that place name, as if he had encountered the so-called enemy of his life.
"Thaisie!"
"Yes."
Zhu Zhanji said: "Lisbon, Frank, Gorebroken, and the Three Kingdoms mission have followed Hong Bao to the Ming Dynasty and come all the way by boat."
Seeing Fang Xing look anxious, he said, "Hong Bao is cautious and only asks people to pass on messages, saying that those three families are not small countries."
"What did he say..."
Of course, there are some ideas about the big and small sides of the Thai country, so he just pondered for a moment and got the answer: "That must be about the ship, that is, the Thai people are already peeping into the ocean."
"yes."
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "It is not easy to live without an opponent, and you can't live it, so this is a good thing."
...
Going north along the canal, although you can see many villages and small towns, you deliberately did not enter the big city to replenish supplies.
The fleet moved slowly, and the three missions that had been lifted from the ban all looked at the two sides of the Taiwan Strait greedily.
Whether it was farmers, boatmen, or even Caote, the Ming people they met along the way were mostly calm, which was in a strong contrast to the numb Thai people at this moment.
And they also noticed the fact that even the Ming people can have a full meal.
This is rare. Rice and pancakes, which are as good as white bread in Thailand, are very ordinary in the Ming Dynasty.
They ate a lot of delicious food made of flour, and the pot stickers that made the fleet sigh and made them amazed.
The smell is so...so fragrant!
It can simply make people forget the existence of white bread!
There are also various noodles, cakes with different connotations, and even things that taste as soft as bread, which make everyone feel their taste buds explode.
"What a beautiful place than painting!"
Farmers work in the fields, and there is smoke from cooking in the distant villages.
This is the scenery of the farmhouse, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms are familiar with this. When a few children ran to the river with clay pots, they looked carefully and curiously.
Several farmers went to the river to wash their hands, then bowed to the fleet, and asked the children to sit down together.
"They eat meat! Oh! They are eating meat!"
When Abel saw a woman scooping out pieces of braised pork he had eaten from the clay pot, he couldn't help but say enviously: "Look, that child has eggs!"
Several children were helping each other, and then each got an egg.
Hong Bao also saw it. An official around him explained: "The court advocates that the people make a variety of livelihoods, raising poultry and livestock is one thing. Ming Pao often teaches people how to raise these things..."
"Potato has made great contributions, right?"
Hong Bao is not a eunuch who is intriguing in the deep palace. He and Zheng He and others went to sea many times, so what do you don’t know?
To put it bluntly, even if it is an important official in the court, it is rare to have such knowledge from him.
The official was a little surprised and said, "Yes, with potatoes, rice or flour, the people will naturally be able to eat enough. Most of the remaining grains are sold, and there are excesses to raise poultry and livestock. Therefore, the family has meat to eat and the children have eggs..."
The children looked at Hong Bao curiously. One of them grinned and smiled at him. The mouth that had several teeth missing looked a little funny.
Hong Bao's expression softened a little. He glanced at the mission staff on the ship behind and said, "These Thai missions have come to the Ming Dynasty. The first thing is to shock us. We have already suppressed them from food. In terms of force, the navy has already let them know that the sea is not theirs and they are still lacking, but there is no hurry."
The fleet continued to move forward and gradually approached the capital.
“It’s ashore!”
The fleet stopped a place, and the shore looked empty.
Without a dock, the fleet will lean one by one by one by one by one by the depth of the water.
The feeling of being down-to-earth made Dok a little dizzy. He covered his hands above his eyes and looked into the distance, saying, "There is a good place, all the fields."
Henry's eyes were taken back from the fleet. He was very sorry that the warships left alone after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, making his plan to look for opportunities and observe failed.
Hong Bao was walking in front of him, moving his body.
"Will we just walk?"
Abel didn't see anyone, so he smiled bitterly: "How far is the distance? Who will ask?"
Dock shook his head, "They can go, so can we."
Both of them smiled tacitly. Henry knew that they felt something was wrong with the Ming Dynasty and the threat level was automatically reduced.
Just as they were slightly happy, a vibration came.
The earth was shaking, and the people of Ming Dynasty turned around and looked very happy.
"It's a cavalry!"
Someone in the mission roared, and then when he saw Mingren's reaction, he immediately became embarrassed.
Dock stared at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and Abel and Henry were the same.
They need to know the strength of Mingren’s army!
They have seen it at sea, but the number is unknown.
So on land!
"Array!"
Someone shouted from the Ming people, and then the sergeants and ship workers began to line up, neatly, like wheat in the field.
The cavalry in the distance got closer and closer. When they saw the man in charge, Hong Bao's eyes turned red immediately. Then he lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. When he looked up again, the man had already arrived in front of him.
Zheng He dismounted. He was old and galloped all the way from Peiping to here, with some legs weak.
He walked to Hong Bao, saw that he lowered his head and said nothing, so he was stunned for a moment, then patted his shoulder, looked at the array behind and said, "Okay!"
A short good word was spoken by Zheng He, but it all expressed the hardships and risks at sea.
Everyone looked excited, and someone shouted: "Here we are back! We are back!"
After experiencing disasters, the relaxation and recognized happiness can finally be hidden.
"We're back!"
Amid laughter, Zheng He said to Hong Bao, who was still bowing his head, "Your Majesty doesn't know that."
Hong Bao's body shook, he looked up at Zheng He in surprise, and then said bitterly: "From that day, our family has considered himself dead."
Zheng He smiled and said, "Will this official coax you?"
Hong Bao's heart was accelerating, his face turned slightly red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law..."
Zheng He nodded and said, "You are very good. I have been worrying about you. As expected, you brought them back safely. You are really... really good."
Hong Bao lowered his head suddenly, and then water droplets fell down quickly.
Zheng He sighed and said, "If I had gone at that time, according to the imperial doctor after returning to Beijing, I would probably not be able to come back..."
When the delegation saw that Zheng He and Hong Bao were even crying, they thought it was the excitement of reuniting after a long separation.
"That man is even better than that Hong Bao, so I'll find an opportunity to talk."
Henry felt that Zheng He should be Hong Bao's boss. Then they saw a man walking over. Hong Bao looked up, wiped his tears in awe, and then bowed to the man to talk.
"Who is this person?"
The greetings over there soon ended. Hong Bao took Zheng He and Fang to wake up and introduced the identities of both parties.
Zheng He's new identity was shocking, and the three of them were paying attention to his changes in his expression.
"This is Xinghe Bo of the Ming Dynasty... Fang Xing."
