I'm really not doing business

Chapter 517 Ming Navy Ship Review

The stories of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have faded away, but the Ming Dynasty has existing examples of preventing the emperor from going on tour.

After King Ning's rebellion, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty visited Yingtian Mansion in the south, and then fell into the water in Qingjiangpu, Huai'an Prefecture. He fell ill and died. Ming Emperor Shizong visited Chengtian Mansion in the south. When he came to Wei Hui, the palace was caught in a fire. If Lu Bing hadn't rescued him well, he might have died. He also died.

Assassination is the first reason for conservatives to oppose the emperor's travel, and it is very sufficient. The high value of the emperor's goal is fully reflected.

The real cost of the emperor's travel is there.

In the sixth year of Yongle, Zhu Di started to prepare for the Northern Patrol. He had been preparing for a whole year. Only on the seventh day of February in the seventh year of Yongle, he led the cavalry army with 50,000 infantry followers, passed through Chuzhou, Fengyang, and Xuzhou, and entered the ground of Shandong. , on February 26, Zhu Di went to Yanzhou, and on the 27th, he paid homage to his tenth brother, King Zhu Tan of Lu Huang. The posthumous title of Huang was chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, because King Lu was indeed ridiculous.

Zhu Zhaohui, the successor king of Lu, was Zhu Di's nephew. This nephew had been waiting early, and his respectful attitude made Zhu Di very satisfied, and Zhu Di was rewarded.

Zhu Di's reward was particularly generous. The reason why the reward was so generous was to express the close friendship between uncle and nephew. Because of Jingnan, the relationship between Zhu Di and his nephews was not harmonious. After walking for twenty days, the sacrifice was over. , various items used in sacrifices, and rewards for nephews, the total cost was 200,000 silver in silver, 430,000 dan in food and grass, and nearly 500,000 in total.

After that, Zhu Di never paid any favors to the feudal kings. He even did not summon the feudal kings during his many Northern Expeditions, just to save money.

On March 23rd of the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Di came from the northern expedition and summoned Jin Wang Zhu Jixi and his son at Jiming Mountain, not for rewards, but to depose Jin Wang, because Jin Wang Zhu Jixi always said to people: King Yan can Jingnan, I can do it too.

At that time, Zhu Di led his troops. If the King of Jin and his son did not come to Jiming Mountain to pay homage, he would lead his troops to attack Taiyuan and abolish the vassal vassal by force.

King Zhu Jixi of Jin was deposed and the throne was given to his younger brother.

The emperor's tour was a huge expense for the court, and it was not just as simple as eating, drinking, and having sex. During the Jiajing period, when Dao Ye visited his hometown in the south, he sent a minister of the southern tour with dozens of people to survey and recruit along the way. The people built bridges and repaired roads, widening the roads when they were narrow, and flattening the roads when they were dangerous. Even the ferry bridges that were too crude had to be rebuilt, and palaces were built along the way, causing the place to be full of chickens and chickens.

Therefore, those who oppose the emperor's tour are not necessarily sycophants. Taking advantage of the assassination of the First Emperor, I would like to remind Your Majesty that this trip is accompanied by various dangers, and the expenses are extremely huge, disturbing the people, and it is laborious no matter how you look at it. No matter how flattering I am, it’s better for the emperor’s body of gold to stay quietly in the palace.

Advising the emperor not to mess around is a conservative strategy. This conservative strategy is very applicable during the period of decline of the dynasty. The decline of the dynasty means that there are holes that cannot be blocked everywhere. The emperor has a way out. Wrong, it would be a turning of events. Any era when the emperor could go out for a walk was a period of rising dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng judged the situation very carefully and determined that the emperor could travel, and it was very necessary. Zhang Juzheng naturally had his own reasons.

Against the background of the rise of the Ming Dynasty's national power, His Majesty's travels will help unite people's hearts.

On the second day of October in the tenth year of Wanli, the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace were discussing something with each other. They seemed very excited and were discussing something fiercely with the emperor. The extremely majestic emperor on the platform waved his hand and said: "Keep everything simple. , no need to discuss it further.”

Zhu Yijun walked back and forth on the galloping road, so there was no need to bother the people too much to build bridges and roads, and he had no plans to build a palace in Tianjin. The Ming Dynasty had Huangzhuang in Tianjin, a restaurant called Yanzheng Tower, and three palaces in the palace. The number one person, Li Yougong, has already gone to make preparations in advance, so there won't be any surprises.

"Your Majesty, the emperor should be more dignified when traveling. Isn't this too simple?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, and Wan Shihe gave a helpless look. What kind of character this man on the platform has is known to the world. , even Felipe II, who was far away in the West, knew the emperor's frugality.

"Isn't the Ming army majestic enough? Tuman Khan and Anda Khan have something to say." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked.

The Ming Dynasty has 30,000 elite soldiers in the capital and 30,000 elite navy troops. Isn’t this array big enough? Is there another person in this world with such an appearance? Who dares to say that it is not majestic enough!

As long as the battle was staged, Zhu Yijun wore short brown clothes to attend. No one dared to look down on the Ming Emperor.

Zhang Juzheng had no choice but to say: "That is very majestic."

The emperor doesn’t want face, but does the court want face? Do your Majesty's ministers want to save face? Zhang Juzheng racked his brains, but in the end he could not think of a reason to persuade His Majesty.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "It is more practical to reward the soldiers than to waste money."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng sown the seeds of frugality in the past, but now he has reaped the rewards of being a big talker. His Majesty even spared the necessary ceremonials. Who saw this, except that Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's master Yuanfu, criticized the emperor harshly?
The conservative once looked at me and said rather helplessly: "Your Majesty, I still think that going to Tianjin Guard this time is very good, but there are people talking about the southern tour, and I think it is inappropriate."

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zeng Shengwu and asked, "Da Sima, do you think the southern tour is inappropriate?"

"That's true." Zeng Shengwu bowed his head and said, "We should go to the north."

As soon as Zeng Xingwu said this, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Zeng Xingwu in surprise. For a while, they couldn't tell what Zeng Xingwu's identity was. Was he conservative or radical? The emperor personally went on the Northern Expedition? Are Da Sima's remarks definitely a conservative statement?
Zeng Shengwu clearly stated his thoughts.

Zhu Yijun looked at the serious look on Da Sima's face and was convinced that Zeng Shengwu was indeed a conservative. He really followed the ancestral system. King Zhu Di of Yan made five northern expeditions to the Xuanwei Grassland. Through the Xuanwei Grassland, he shocked Nanya When I was young, Zeng Shengwu felt that it was useless to go on a southern patrol. It would be better to go straight to the north.

"The north is still too dangerous." Zhang Juzheng clearly opposed Zeng Shengwu's proposition.

Northern Expedition? Anda Khan was beheaded in public, and the sect leader, Tuman Khan, and his sons were enjoying happiness in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Who should be attacked in the Northern Expedition? Waladu went to the Western Region. What was he going to do in a place that was completely filled with sand?
Zeng Shengwu's idea is actually not wrong. As long as the Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp continues to win, it can effectively deter the young people of Nanya. After the influx of a large amount of silver, the current Nanya has not become the Netherlands. That way, because of the strength of the Beijing camp, both the Northern Expedition and the Southern Patrol consume a lot of money, but the Northern Expedition can expand the territory, while the Southern Patrol is internal friction.

"Da Sima is in trouble for me. I practice martial arts all the time, but my martial prowess is not as good as that of Emperor Cheng Zuwen." Zhu Yijun said with a smile, he also wanted to lead troops! But I don’t have that talent.

Emperor Taizongwen had military talent. As the only example of a vassal king who successfully rebelled since ancient times, he was a master who managed to unify the imperial court in a corner and still won. He had the ability to lead troops to fight tough battles. Zhu Yijun did not meet the conditions for the Northern Expedition.

"I am guilty." Zeng Xingwu quickly bowed his head and said.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Da Sima's proposal is still very good, but it is really my fault."

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was going to Tianjin Wei, and he brought Prince Zheng and Prince De with him. He did not bring their family members, nor did he bring too many ceremonial guards. He only brought his court officials and retinue. On October 14th, everything was ready for the Ming Dynasty. The emperor set out.

The pioneer on Chidao was Li Rusong. He led the cavalry battalion to open the road in front. The other infantry camps all rode horse-drawn trains. The number of iron horses was still too small. Horse-drawn carriages are still the mainstream of Chidao today because of the track. , the horse-drawn carriage can guarantee the marching speed even if it uses a horse.

"It's a little exaggerated." Zhu Yijun looked at his luxury car. The car had a five-point seat belt. Everywhere he could touch the car was covered with soft bags. There was also a roll cage outside the car. When the car overturned, Zhu Yijun lost his life. It won't even get bumped. This is a custom-made jade chariot.

A sixteen-horse iron horse pulls one carriage. In addition to the iron horse, there are four horses towing it. It is considered a horse-drawn train.

The speed of the jade carriage was not very fast. Zhu Yijun even wanted to shake his body to speed up the car, but fortunately, the scenery outside the window was very good.

The emperor's car arrived at Tianjin Wei in the afternoon. The road conditions were extremely good throughout the process, and there was no traffic jam. The emperor was out on patrol, the road was closed, and the cavalry camp opened the road ahead. There were no accidents.

The Iron Horse runs great and doesn't even have much ash.

Some cheap Confucians are very unfavorable to the iron horse. To use the original words of the cheap Confucianists, they say: The iron horse is very good, why can't the emperor use it? It still doesn't work!

This time Zhu Yijun went to Tianjin Guard to inspect the navy's military horses. He used a jade chariot pulled by iron horses, and he severely slapped the big mouth of the humble Confucian.

Zhu Yijun stayed at the intersection of Haihe River and Canal. Yanzheng Tower is located here. There is a bamboo forest here, called North Bamboo Forest, and Yanzheng Tower is located between the bamboo forests. Zhu Yijun does not live in Yanzheng Tower, but In a courtyard with three entrances and exits next to Yanzheng Tower, this is also part of the Imperial Village.

The cunning rabbit has three acupoints, and Yan Zhenglou is just a cover.

It took three hours to get from the capital to Tianjin Wei. Zhu Yijun did not feel tired. On the contrary, he was in good spirits. It was completely different from the last time he came, when Tianjin Wei saw desolation. He climbed up to the tall building in the courtyard and looked far away. The setting sun would sparkle in the sky. The canal was dyed golden red, and the canals on the canal were flowing continuously. Since the launch of the Caoliang Sea Transport, the four-month capacity of the Caoliang River Transport that occupied the canal was completely released, and the exchange of goods between the north and the south became more frequent.

"That's a coal boat." Zhu Yijun reached out to the canal, a little excited. He saw the coal boat, which was filled with coke. It was the reality of the convection of coal and silver in the Ming Dynasty. It was no longer the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Guangzhu, but Reality.

Daming is really getting better in his hands, and everything he does is not meaningless.

Tianjin Wei has transformed from a desolate place to such a prosperous place. This is the reality of the New Deal, not sitting idle in the court, everything is worth it.

This is also the reason why Zhang Juzheng agreed to the Ming Emperor's southern tour. He kept telling the truth in the palace all day long. Even if he was just being honest and faithful, it would be false after all. It would be better to take a look at it in person. Just take a look at the coal ship and you will know. The New Deal is really working effectively.

Zhu Yijun kept looking at the river with a telescope. Until the lights and fishing lights appeared on the river, Zhu Yijun was still greedy for this beautiful scenery in the world. Even at night, the canal boats on the canal were driving endlessly without stopping. Only then did Zhu Yijun know that the canals of the Ming Dynasty were so busy.

October is already the beginning of winter, and the river will freeze in half a month. This period is also the busiest time for the canal. Winter storage is in extremely strong demand, and the north is preparing for the winter.

"The most beautiful thing is the fireworks in the world, which lasts for another year." Zhu Yijun reluctantly put down his telescope and stretched. When he arrived at Tianjin Wei, he did nothing and just kept staring at the canal. Boats came and went on the canal. I looked at the houses on the edge of the canal and the restaurants with lanterns. Even though the moon was high in the sky, they were still busy entertaining the boatmen passing by. I kept seeing the moonlight when the cold wind suddenly started. On the top of the willow tree.

He is watching the fireworks in the world.

It doesn't seem to make any sense, but it seems to have great significance.

Zhu Yijun was satisfied and fell asleep with peace of mind. He slept extremely peacefully. It was the most peaceful sleep he had after suddenly coming to Ming Dynasty. He knew that the New Deal was changing Ming Dynasty bit by bit, and Ming Dynasty was going from extreme weakness to He, Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang, Tan Lun, Wang Guoguang, Wan Shihe, and even Wang Chonggu, etc., made difficult, slow and determined changes little by little. Everything they did was not to fish for the moon in the water.

As always, the biological clock woke up Zhu Yijun when it was still dark. He did not need to attend the court meeting today, but the Emperor of Ming Dynasty still got up early and had breakfast. After washing, Zhu Yijun went to Yanzheng Tower and saw what was waiting for him. The courtiers in the main hall.

Zhang Juzheng was so anxious! When I saw His Majesty, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the morning, Zhang Juzheng asked Luo Sigong where His Majesty was. Luo Sigong said that he did not know where he was after staying at the hotel. This sentence made Zhang Juzheng tremble with fright. Just one day after he came out, His Majesty was missing.

When he saw the emperor, Zhang Juzheng knew that this was the emperor's caution. In the future, careerists would not have to go to great lengths to infiltrate and set fire. Even the Tiqi who did not participate in the defense did not know where His Majesty lived when he was on patrol.

Li Yougong prepared residences for His Majesty in four directions, all within five miles of each other. As for where exactly he would live, Li Yougong didn't know. It was decided by drawing lots after His Majesty arrived in Tianjin, so he attacked and set fire at night, even in theory. The success rate is infinitely close to zero. "Why are you so anxious, sir?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

"Seeing His Majesty's blessing, I no longer have any anxiety." Zhang Juzheng told the truth, Your Majesty really cherishes his life!

Wang Chonggu said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, this morning Zhang Youxin, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, and Jiao Liguo, the prefect of Cangzhou, sent three beauties."

There are three wards in Tianjin. Due to development in the third year of Wanli, the two left and right wards of Tianjin and the Tianjin wards were merged into one. In the sixth year of Wanli, Tianjin wards were established as counties, subordinate to Cangzhou and Hejian Prefecture. Now with the gradual prosperity of maritime trade, Tianjin There are more and more people in this place. In the summer and June of the tenth year of Wanli, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture and the prefect of Cangzhou jointly submitted a petition to upgrade Tianjin to a state with jurisdiction over the three counties of Wuqing, Qingxian and Jinghai.

The Ministry of Revenue estimates that in a few years, Tianjin Wei will become an official government office at the level of Zhili Prefecture similar to Songjiang Prefecture. This place is the maritime gateway to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"Why are you sending this beauty here?" Zhu Yijun just sat down and looked at Wang Chonggu and asked blankly.

Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said, "Let your majesty enjoy it."

"Ah?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and looked at the ministers. His expressions changed again and again, from confusion to anger and then relief. The magistrates of Hejian and Cangzhou were not humiliating the emperor, but Ming Wuzong's previous patrol. When I was young, I liked beauties, but the local officials were not sure whether to send her as a gift or not, so I had no choice but to send her.

Jiao Liguo was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli. The last time he saw the emperor was during the palace examination. It had been at least eight years.

Zhang Youxin, on the other hand, had never met the emperor at all, so he couldn't figure out the emperor's character. In the end, the two of them made such a joke, which was a sign of their submissiveness.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "If you pass on the edict, you won't have to send beauties away in the future."

The sky was clear and crisp, God was very generous, and the sky was clear. When Zhu Yijun's driver arrived at the viewing platform, the fog on the Bohai Sea was slowly dissipating. The viewing platform was full of people, including officials from the imperial court, Shanxi merchants, and migrating people. Wealthy people who came to Beijing, as well as editors of major newspapers, as well as generals from Jizhou and Miyun.

The envoys of the Fan Kingdom also made a separate viewing platform. This time the envoys of the Fan Kingdom had seats, instead of having to stand and eat with people on their backs like when giving a banquet. Zhu Yijun was already the most important person in the history of the Central Plains. The emperor respects the envoys of foreign countries.

Ningyuan Hou Li Chengliang also arrived at Tianjin Wei yesterday with a large group of troops.

The dusk is sinking, under the sea breeze and rising sun, the fog on the sea is dissipating little by little, and huge ships slowly appear on the horizon. Chen Lin has arrived at Lushunkou the day before yesterday. After hearing from your majesty, the clipper got His Majesty's order authorizing the use of all firearms.

Chen Lin, wearing iron armor and holding a navy bag, stood under the viewing platform and waited quietly.

Lushunkou was originally called Shizikou. In the fourth year of Hongwu, two generals, Ma Yun and Ye Wang, took a boat across the ocean from Penglai and arrived at Shizikou. Because the journey was extremely smooth, it was renamed Lushunkou.

Since the fourth year of Hongwu, this place has become the military port of the Ming Dynasty. It was used until the Wanli period and is still under maintenance.

Of course Li Chengliang will come. The Ming Dynasty navy is tyrannical, and Li Chengliang has no reason to become a vassal town.

"Is the speedboat so big?" Zhu Yijun turned away from the telescope and said to Zhang Juzheng with a shocked look on his face.

"It's thirty-three feet long, three feet eight feet one inch wide, and one foot nine feet six inches deep." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "It's really big."

The ship, which is more than a hundred meters long, is truly a sea monster. Even if it is parked there quietly, the pressure it brings makes Zhu Yijun's breathing quicken. The Youlong takes the lead and cuts through. Morning fog.

Behind the Youlong is the main battleship of the Ming Dynasty, the D-type five-masted ocean crossing ship. This is an improved type specially used for combat. There are a total of twenty five-masted ocean crossing ships. This is not all of the Ming Dynasty navy. But one-fifth, because there is only the headquarters of Chen Lin, the commander-in-chief of the 30,000-strong navy, and the remaining naval officers and generals are stationed in the five major shipping departments of the Ming Dynasty.

One hundred and fifty three-masted plywood ships followed closely behind, followed by 571 battle-seat ships that stretched to the horizon. These were the battle-seat ships participating in the parade, a total of ships, just like this. Stopping quietly on the sea.

(ship review)

"Chen Lin, Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Dynasty Navy, comes to see your Majesty! Your Majesty is mighty! The Ming Dynasty Navy has thirty-three thousand soldiers and 571 warships are all ready!" Chen Lin stood in front of the viewing platform and shouted energetically He said, he did not kneel down. The military etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was fixed, and the full salute was not allowed when wearing armor.

The viewing platform was only ten steps away from Chen Lin. Zhu Yijun stood up, took a step forward, and said, "The Ming army is mighty! Pass on my will and set sail!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!" Chen Lin shouted loudly, and the two generals and several generals behind him turned around.

"Your Majesty has a decree, raise the sails!" Chen Lin stood in front of a column of artillery. The tooth flag behind him began to wave. A small red flag in the hand of a flag bearer waved down. The powder twist of the eighteen artillery pieces was ignited. This was The main purpose of the gun salute is to build momentum.

After the eighteen cannons fired simultaneously, the sound of horns and drums changed from gentle to rapid.

Chen Lin turned around again and shouted loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the naval parade has begun. Please get on board!"

"Yes." Zhu Yijun waved his hand again.

As the sails gradually rose, Chen Lin, the generals, and President Qian began to board the ship. One by one, small boats took the generals to board the ship. When the generals completed boarding, the sails were completely raised.

Zhu Yijun immediately noticed the difference. The command of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp was mainly based on horns, drums, iron horns, and flags, while the navy's command was mainly based on whistles and flags. The whistles were sharp, long and short, and small flags of different colors. , waving constantly, the Daming Navy began to move in an orderly manner.

The ships began to move slowly, and the Ming fleet began to change its formation. From the display to the single file headed by Youlong, they formed a row and passed before the viewing platform. This distance was still outside the effective range of the artillery.
After leaving the viewing platform, the fleet opened fire at the shooting range. The shooting range was set up above the sea. The roar sounded on the sea, and the smoke billowed and was blown farther and farther away by the sea breeze.

Zhu Yijun watched the flames from the muzzle continue to spit out, and various artillery continued to vent their firepower at the shooting range. The parade in this era was not only a display of naval ordnance, but also a drill. Obviously, the navy was training In an orderly manner, it lived up to His Majesty the Emperor's expectations and heavy investment.

Navy ships kept passing by the viewing platform, and Qi Jiguang always looked at the sea with narrowed eyes. When Qi Jiguang was fighting Japanese pirates in the southeast, he had a fleet. It was absolutely impossible to suppress Japanese pirates without ships. He had He has extremely rich experience in maritime combat, so Qi Jiguang will react immediately if there is any slight change or deformation of movement on these ships.

Zhu Yijun is not worried about the navy's rebellion, because the empire's fleet can only rely on the empire to survive.

During the Yongle period, the empire's huge fleet and the 400-masted battleship were not included in the calculation of battleships. Although the five-masted ocean-going ships were more advanced, they were still not as large as in the Yongle period. After Zhu Di died of illness during the expedition, Afterwards, under the force of civil war and the wind that stopped the voyage to the west, the huge imperial fleet rotted quietly on the port, and finally sank and disappeared.

For this one-fifth of the navy, Zhu Yijun dares to say that no country or group in the world can afford such a huge navy, not even Spain, where the sun never sets.

"What is that?" Zhu Yijun suddenly said in surprise.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the sea through the telescope. As the fleet was passing by in an orderly manner, a strange-shaped thing gradually rose from the sea. There were more than ten UFOs in total. And these ten UFOs were on both sides and behind them. With a small sail, it kept changing directions under the influence of the wind, and slowly flew towards the northwest of the viewing platform.

Soon the UFO came to the auditorium, and then slowly landed in front of the auditorium. Only then did Zhu Yijun understand that it was a hot air balloon.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty did a great job!

It's not an airship, but a hot air balloon, a hot air balloon with a sail that can easily control the direction. The hot air balloon is not a traditional circle, but an ellipse, like an inflated fish, with hanging baskets hanging underneath, with two sides on the left and right. Four sail surfaces allow control of direction.

Zhu Yijun was very curious about this flying hot air balloon. Wang Daokun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, explained to His Majesty with a complex expression: "This thing is extremely expensive, but it is actually useless."

"Is it useless to be able to fly?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Wang Daokun sighed and said: "It can fly because of the hot air. It is lighter than the air to fly. It cannot be small naturally. It basically floats with the wind. After flying, it all depends on God's mood. So, in fact, those four sails It can’t control the direction very well. It can’t take off, land, or even the direction, so it’s really useless.”

Drifting in the wind is the biggest drawback of this thing. In fact, the ten hot air balloons were all heading for the viewing platform, and only one successfully reached the viewing platform. An uncontrolled flying object is basically a toy. Wang Daokun knows the drawbacks of this thing, but! Those overseas barbarians don’t understand at all. When this flying object appeared, everyone stared with wide eyes, staring blankly at the hot air balloon floating over their heads.

The bluffing effect is still very strong.

The Ming Dynasty Navy was leaving, with 500 warships heading towards Lushunkou. Chen Lin turned around on the Youlong, and under the tug of the barge, slowly entered the harbor and stayed on the trestle.

"Reporting to your majesty, all naval forces, except for the Youlong, have returned to Lushunkou." Chen Lin came to the viewing platform again and said loudly.

"Pass my decree and lower the anchor." Zhu Yijun stood up again and said to Chen Lin.

With the flag waving, the anchor of the Youlong dropped. At this point, the Ming Dynasty Navy's ship review was all over.

"Feng Daban, declare the decree." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

"Commander of the Navy Chen Lin received the order." Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and took two steps forward. Two small yellow doors were opened one foot long and one foot wide. A black rhinoceros horn shaft with auspicious clouds, auspicious cranes and silk brocade was opened. Imperial edict, this is Chen Lin's imperial edict to make him a marquis.

"The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"

"The marshal's ship sailed out to pacify the Japanese, the fire flag was bright outside Furong Mountain, thousands of sails helped to ward off the invaders, and the wind traveled thousands of miles across the mountains and seas."

"Chen Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, was a man of bravery and martial arts. He specialized in expeditions to defeat the Japanese pirates and made extraordinary achievements. He heard the drums and muzzles and thought of the generals. The people of the country worshiped the ceremony and recorded the achievements of the Japanese pirates. I specially entered the former military governor's office. The Right Commander-in-Chief and the Crown Prince's Taibao, for his outstanding achievements in Pingbo, were granted the title of Marquis of Shuli, and were paid a thousand dan per year. His loyalty can only be learned from Heaven!"

"The dynasty became a constitution after a long period of time, it was a good deed and a favor, and the edict was issued to the world, and the envoys heard about it."

"Appreciate this."
