My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 636 Arriving at Lion Port

It was late at night, and Zhu Zhanhe was lying on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.

In the evening, he went to see Zhu Gaoxu and asked him a tricky question. If he rushed into the capital and captured Zhu Zhanji, what would he do next?
Regarding this question, Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head and said "I don't know", and then drove Zhu Zhanhe out.

In fact, when he saw Zhu Gaoxu was silent, Zhu Zhanhe had already guessed that if Zhu Zhanji was really caught by him, the previous disaster would probably be repeated, and Zhu Zhanji would either be killed or disappeared. , anyway, Zhu Yunwen is a lesson learned for him.

This cannot be blamed on Zhu Gaoxu's cruelty. In fact, when Zhu Gaoxu came back from Tianzhu, he was really just attending a funeral. But later, the situation changed and he couldn't help it. Just like the matter of proclaiming himself emperor, it was no longer a question of whether he wanted to or not. , but a question that he must do.

"What is your husband thinking?"

At this moment, Sun Ruowei suddenly came up from behind and asked, "Today is an even number, so Zhu Zhanhe is resting in her room."

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about my father's plan to proclaim himself emperor."

Zhu Zhanhe did not tell the truth. After all, the conversation between their father and son was not easy to spread.

"Proclaiming himself emperor? Father is really going to proclaim himself emperor!"

Sun Ruowei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he forcefully pulled Zhu Zhanhe's body over.

"Why are you so excited?"

Zhu Zhanhe was a little speechless. He had just dealt with the other party casually and then rested early.

"Of course I'm excited! My father has proclaimed himself emperor. My husband, you must be the prince, and you will be the emperor in the future. I will definitely not be able to compete with my sister for the position of queen, but at least I should be made a noble concubine, right?"

Sun Ruo said again with a smile on her face.

Although she is ambitious, she has long been resigned to Chang Sining over the years. As long as Chang Sining lives, she will never be the queen one day, but she still has confidence in the imperial concubine.

"Okay, if that day comes, I will make you Concubine Jing!"

Zhu Zhanhe said with his eyes closed.

"Why am I called Concubine Jing? Did my husband think that I am virtuous and virtuous, so he gave me this title?"

Sun Ruowei asked excitedly again.

"No, you keep chattering every day. I hope you can be quiet for a while, so I will make you Concubine Jing!"

Zhu Zhanhe complained, but what he said was the truth. Sun Ruowei was good at everything, but he was too sharp-tongued and talked endlessly. He never knew that silence was also a virtue.

"Okay, husband, you are making fun of me again!"

Sun Ruowei was ashamed and annoyed when he heard this, and suddenly turned over and sat on Zhu Zhanhe.

"what are you going to do?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked the question knowingly. "Of course I want to give birth to a prince as soon as possible for my husband!"

Sun Ruowei said with charming eyes.

…………

The next morning, Zhu Zhanhe woke up from his sleep, with the sleeping Sun Ruowei lying in his arms.

Looking at Sun Ruowei's delicate face in his arms, Zhu Zhanhe fell into a trance. He thought of the child who was sent back. Although his biological mother had changed, he was still named Zhu Qizhen by Zhu Zhanji. .

Although this child is not the original Zhu Qizhen, but he grew up in the same environment, no one knows whether he will repeat the fate of the original Zhu Qizhen?

When he thought of this, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but feel a shadow in his heart.

In the next period of time, the fleet traveled westward. Although life at sea was boring, it was not without fun. For example, Zhu Zhanhe was very good at finding fun for himself.

Sometimes he would call Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong, and the three of them would sit on the side of the boat and fish together. Not only were there many fish in the sea, but they were also very big. Sometimes they even needed to use cables as fishing lines to pull the fish up.

In his spare time, he would also play a few rounds of mahjong with his mother and wife, or go to Zhu Gaoxu to accompany him to perfect the plan to attack Central Asia.

Although the route from Manlajia to Tianzhu is not as lively as the route from Ming Dynasty to Nanyang, there are still many fleets, less than half of which are Han fleets, and there are also Daqi people and Tianzhu people. wait.

However, no matter which fleet they were from, when they saw Zhu Zhanhe and his fleet under the banner of the King of Han, they all gave way, and some even knelt on the bow of the ship to salute, because they all knew that the fleet from Tianzhu to Manchuria This route has been monopolized by His Highness the King of Han from the Ming Dynasty. If you want to do business here, you must abide by the rules set by the King of Han.

After more than a month of sailing, the fleet finally arrived at Lion Port, which is the largest seaport in Tianzhu. Almost all merchant ships traveling from south to north will dock here.

In fact, Lion Port itself does not produce much, and the only thing that can be obtained is gemstones. It is mainly used as a goods and information exchange center. After goods from various places are transported here, if you are willing to sell them, they can be sold at a good price. .

When the port officials learned that Zhu Gaoxu was back, they immediately came to the dock to greet them in person and then arranged accommodation for them.

After resting for a night, Zhu Gaoxu also took Zhu Zhanhe with him with great interest and personally took him to visit the port, introducing him to the situation of the port while walking.

"This is the place where we landed when we first came to Tianzhu. The Ming army stationed here at that time was almost wiped out by the rebels. Fortunately, we arrived in time. Later, this became our logistics base for heading north. Many supplies were It was transported from here to the north..."

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the port and introduced the importance of this port to Zhu Zhanhe.

Zhu Gaoxu set out from here before and led his troops to the north. Lion Harbor became an enclave, but a large amount of taxes were paid every year, which was Zhu Gaoxu's most important financial source. It can be said that most of the money he spent to unify Tianzhu came from this port.

Later, Zhu Gaoxu unified Tianzhu, and some people even suggested moving the royal capital from the north to Lion Port. The reason was that Lion Port was prosperous, had prosperous shipping, and had a large population, which was much stronger than Delhi in the north.

However, Zhu Gaoxu considered that the capital could not be located in one corner, and the center of his future rule would still be in northern Tianzhu, or even Central Asia, so the location of the capital must be in the north, which was very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, so he rejected this suggestion.

Zhu Zhanhe was also very interested in Lion Port. He spent a few days touring the entire port and city. The rule here has been completely Chineseized. Lion Island has a separate chief envoy, and the interior is divided into several states. There are officials such as magistrates and tongzhi in the state, and the local political structure is almost the same as that of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Lion Port is also the main garrison of the navy. Most of Zhang Zhong’s navy are stationed here. On the one hand, they protect the safety here. On the other hand, they can patrol the waterways and eliminate pirates at sea, thus ensuring Safety of Merchant Vessels.
