Chapter 553: Qianqiu Albert
Chapter 553 Qianqiu Albert
Princess Taikang became depressed after hearing this.
Zhu Houzhao didn't think so much.
He only suspected that Fang Jifan had other ideas, but he didn't worry about what his sister would have other ideas.
He said cheerfully: "It's chicken, it's chicken, come and try it, it's delicious."
Empress Zhang wanted to reprimand Zhu Houzhao, but she couldn't help giving Zhu Houzhao a doting look: "Okay, I'll try it."
The eunuchs had carefully cut the chicken and sent it to Empress Zhang and Princess Taikang. Empress Zhang tasted it, and it was really tender.
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao said happily: "This person is very interesting. He was born as a Jinshi and became an official. He has made great contributions, but he has no intention of official career. He only wants to eat. Mother, you think this person is strange."
Queen Zhang looked at Zhu Houzhao: "Hey, this looks a lot like you."
"..."
...
The sailing fleet is about to set off.
A large number of seagoing ships have been newly built.
Together with the previous scum of the world Wang Bushi and several large food ships seized, Hongzhi went to the Western Ocean for the second time, with more than 20 ships and 3,000 people.
Xu Jing bid farewell to his mentor.
Going to the West, saying goodbye to his mentor again and again, seems to have become his destiny.
This time, he will continue to go deep. Two thousand well-equipped warriors, plus one thousand boatmen, sailors, and foot strength, the honor and disgrace of these three thousand people are all maintained by Xu Jing alone.
Xu Jing didn't shed tears this time, he just solemnly bowed to Fang Jifan and got up: "Men, take care."
Fang Jifan nodded to him: "To live."
Although these three words were just a few words, Xu Jing felt the infinite care from his teacher, he could hardly hold back his emotions, tears welled up in his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Student... will definitely come back to serve the teacher. "
After finishing speaking, he turned around and stepped towards the direction of the sunrise.
Fang Jifan was in a low mood. This is the student he valued the most. After leaving like this, his heart...was empty, as if something was missing. Thinking about it, he might be hungry.
Sighing, Fang Jifan looked back and saw a few disciples who had come to bid farewell to Xu Jing, Wang Shouren had tears in his eyes, Ouyang Zhimuna looked into the distance, Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen looked worried, and Qi Jingtong sighed endlessly.
Fang Jifan turned to Liu Wenshan and said: "The most unpromising ones are you and Jiang Chen, learn from your junior brother Xu."
Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen looked terrified: "The student is teaching stereotyped writing to the Xishan disciples, and the students will die, and they have never achieved anything..."
"Oh." Fang Jifan remembered: "I forgot, so you are also teaching people to read. Now students in Xishan, how is your homework?"
Jiang Chen said: "Teacher, the two students are ordered by the teacher to make all the students write stereotyped essays every day. It has been more than a year now. The stereotyped essays they have written are as large as 500 articles. Life is considered hardworking and somewhat progressive.”
Fang Jifan said: "In the spring of the next year, if they fail the exam, you two will be the only ones to ask."
"Yes Yes."
Liu Wenshan and Jiang Chen's faces were livid with fright.
Mentors have always been strict with their disciples. Sometimes they have a bad temper, and beating and scolding is commonplace. They respect and fear their mentors.
Especially Jiang Chen, who has been lagging behind all the time. He had already been ashamed with embarrassment. He thought in his heart that this time, he would definitely not disappoint his teacher, otherwise, he would really lose face and become his teacher's disciple.
Fang Jifan said to Qi Jing: "And you..."
Today I feel very irritable, thinking of my dear apprentice Xu Jing leaving, I feel very sad, I inevitably want to find some disciples to vent, but when I saw Qi Jingtong, Qi Jiguang appeared in my mind, that is a famous national hero, whatever, Fang Jifan shook his head: "You should learn from your brother Xu."
Fang Jifan’s scolding of Jiang Chen and the two just now was nothing more than killing a chicken to scare a monkey. Qi Jingtong was lucky, he is a monkey, not a chicken, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I would like to follow the teacher's teaching."
...
Dawn of the next day.
Ships began to leave Tianjin Port one by one.
Ships full of supplies and goods, Xu Jing is still standing on the deck of the scum of the world Wang Bushi, wearing a beam crown on his head, a flying fish suit, a scarlet cloak, and a embroidered waist. Chun Dao, standing tall, looking at the sky.
Overseas, the future is unpredictable. In order to frighten the entire fleet, all the things Xu Jing provided were bestowed by the palace. Anyone in the fleet can kill first and play later. It represents the absolute authority of the emperor!
He stood with the saber on his back, standing behind him was Yang Xiong who had become the commander of the guard.
Yang Xiong sighed: "This trip to sea will go deeper, but I don't know if I can come back alive."
Xu Jing was silent.
"Even if you are alive, how many years will it take to come back?" Yang Xiong was depressed, full of emotion: "One year, two years, or three years? Ambassador Xu, can you... give me a word?"
Yang Xiong seemed very restless and full of worries. He didn't want to go to sea anymore. Of course he knew that this was a great honor. As long as they came back, their experience would be enough for Yang Xiong to brag about for a lifetime.
But…
He looked at Xu Jing pitifully.
"I don't know." Xu Jing answered him.
Yang Xiong sighed.
"But someone must come back. If I, Xu Jing, die, you will come back. If you and I die, someone from the thousand households in the fleet must come back. If the thousands of households are dead, there will be hundreds of households. If the hundred households are gone, there will be the general." Banner officers, helmsman, sailors, 3,000 people, someone must come back. These dozens of ships are all anointed by the people, and what they carry is the hope of the Ming Dynasty going west. If some of us are alive, hope will not cut off."
"Ambassador Xu, you really have a heart of stone."
Xu Jing put his hands on the side of the ship, caressing the big ship that has experienced countless winds and waves. After a long silence, he said: "If my heart is not iron, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians on the land behind us would want to become flesh and blood. Impossible. When we went to sea, didn’t Commander Yang see it clearly? Daming Kong has the name of a magnificent country, but the big cannibals and Franji people are already traveling a thousand miles away. Stretching to the west, they are everywhere in Siam, Luzon, and Sumatra. In the future, they will continue to extend their reach to the Ming Dynasty. The troubles of the Tatars and Japanese pirates, as everyone knows, sooner or later, the people who will cause trouble in the world will definitely be the Franji people of these extreme western lands. What you and I are responsible for, apart from looking for the legendary kingdom of God, is to find a The method of restraining Frangji is to prepare for the imperial court’s **** of the world in the future. The regret of the Three Treasures **** has already made me lose my chance, but now, God has entrusted this mission to you, do we have any choice?”
With tears in his eyes, Xu Jing looked at the vast waves, and firmly held down the hilt of his sword at his waist: "No matter before going to sea, the people who follow you and me are thieves, prisoners, and sons of good families. , from a humble family, from a military family, or a craftsman. No matter who you are, if you sail to sea now, you must have steel as your body and incorruptible bronze as your heart, liver and heart."
He said lightly: "Confucius said to achieve benevolence, and Mencius said to obtain righteousness, but only when righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the ultimate. Wherever the Tao is, even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go. This is destiny. From the moment the ship leaves the harbor, it has been It cannot be changed. Pass down the order, and from now on the ship, the upper and lower people, etc., will help each other in the same boat, regardless of superiority or inferiority, all are brothers! Kill them, and anyone who deceives the crowd with evil words will also be killed, I, Xu Jing, are timid, and all the officers and men will kill me, if you, brother Yang, are afraid, I, Xu Jing, will kill you, Yang Xiong!"
Yang Xiong's face sank, he bowed down, the armor on his body rattled with his movements, and he buried his head: "Humble, I will obey the ambassador's order!"
Xu Jing turned around, still facing the sea, the waves reflected in his eyes, he remained silent, letting the sea breeze roll up the cloak behind him.
"Men... I will definitely come back!"
He thought silently in his heart.
Behind…
Countless sailors and sailors repeatedly conveyed the ambassador's order: "The imperial envoy patrolling the sea has an order: From now on, the ship, the people on and off the ship, and everyone will help each other in the same boat, regardless of their rank, and they are all brothers! All officers and soldiers..."
The orders one after another were passed from one ship to another, from deck to deck, from bow to stern.
Dozens of ships lined up in a formation of geese, slowly heading south.
On the "Little Zhu Xiucai Bad Guy" at the end, several familiar figures emerged from the bilge of this huge horse boat.
"Did you hear anything? Order, what order?" Zhang Heling wore the official uniform of the general banner officer, but in order to sneak in, he used many connections and connections. He looked around, looking like a thief.
Zhang Yanling ran out from nowhere, extremely excited, and excitedly said: "Brother, brother...I found it, I found it..."
"What did you find?" Zhang Heling despised his brother very much. His IQ was too low, and he was simply a burden. If it wasn't for his brother, he really didn't want to bring him to make a fortune.
Zhang Yanling's eyes were shining, and tears were about to come out: "The grain cabin, the grain cabin where the grain is stored, a lot of dried meat, eh, a lot, a lot, and pickled fish, soybeans, and rice..."
Zhang Heling slapped him across the face, and angrily said: "Dog-like things, you just know how to eat them. Can you be a bit promising? This time, we are going to Jinshan."
"Of course it's San Francisco!" Zhang Yanling retorted unhappily, holding his cheeks and wanting to cry.
"Shut up, you bastard, you're promising. When we get to Jinshan, we'll make a fortune. You can pick up a piece of gold bump anywhere on the ground. At that time, you won't have anything to eat. I really hate you. Get out. "
Zhang Yanling sobbed, and didn't dare to answer back. He obediently went a few feet away, not daring to approach, and looked at Zhang Heling resentfully and pitifully.
