Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

"Woooooooo..."

A melodious whistle sounded at the Weihaiwei Wharf, and a cargo ship entered the wharf under the guidance of a guide ship.

On the cargo ship, a dozen people stood on the deck, looking at the bustling dock in the distance, feeling indescribable excitement and joy in their hearts.

This is a cargo ship coming back from Da Piaoliang.

The two countries have been plunged into a state of war. Open trade in goods has been banned, but they are still very busy in private. The upper echelons often turn a blind eye, and as long as there is no trouble, everyone pretends nothing happened.

This cargo ship set out from Damiao a month ago and after a month of sailing on the sea, it finally returned to the Ming mainland.

As the Ming Dynasty's steam engine technology improved, in order to increase support for overseas, cargo ships were second only to warship manufacturing.

Powerful steam engines no longer rely on sails, allowing ships to sail in any season and any sea conditions.

"Brother, is this our hometown Daming?"

The cargo ship slowly approached the shore. As the prosperous port got closer and closer, a girl with healthy wheat-colored skin looked at the dock excitedly.

Beside him, a strong man wearing animal skins and various decorations on his body nodded slightly.

"Yes, this is Daming, the place where our ancestors left according to legend."

The girl looked at the dock with longing and said happily, "There are so many people here, more than in our tribe."

Hearing his sister's innocent words, the man smiled and patted her head: "Silly girl, Ming is the most populous country in the world and also the most powerful force. This is also their most prosperous port, so naturally there will be more people."

"Alugo, do you think we can meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

A silly-looking man nearby stared at a roadside stall selling roasted chicken, wiping his saliva secretly while asking the strong man who was leading the group.

"Yes, didn't Mr. Lu say that we were invited by His Majesty the Emperor?"

As the men were talking quietly at the dock, a man in a sailor suit came over and said with a smile in a strange language, "Everyone, we have returned to Daming. Let's go ashore and rest for a night. Tomorrow I will take you to the capital to meet our emperor."

"Can we wear nice clothes like yours?"

After the man finished speaking, the girl pointed expectantly at the clothes worn by some women on the shore and asked the man cautiously.

“Hahaha…” The man laughed and said, “Of course, you can have whatever you want.”

"Yeah, great."

The girl clapped her hands happily.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for taking care of me along the way."

The man named Aru walked up to the man named Lu and shook hands with him, thanking him for his care along the way.

The man surnamed Lu waved his hand and said, "We are all from the same clan and bloodline, we are all family, there is no need to be polite."

After some polite exchanges, the few people got off the boat, boarded a specially arranged bus, and headed for Tianjin Wharf Hotel.

As soon as these people got ashore, Zhu Zhanjun, who had already returned to the capital, received the news.

It is now the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and nearly two months have passed since the end of the Battle of England.

The matters there were handed over to Li Jing and others, and Zhu Zhanjun returned to the capital.

After all, he is an emperor. It is a bit unreasonable for him to run around outside every day and leave all the things to his father.

It's almost the end of the year, so I have to at least come back and pretend.

"Your Majesty, the representatives of the Shang people have already landed at the Tianjin Pier. What kind of welcoming ceremony or rules should we prepare for them?"

Wang Xuance walked into Zhu Zhanjun's study with a telegram, and put the telegram on the table after Zhu Zhanjun finished reviewing a memorial.

"Oh, it came so quickly."

Zhu Zhanjun picked up the telegram and took a look at it. It detailed the identity of the representatives of the Shang Dynasty people.

There were sixteen people in total, eight of whom were young chiefs from each tribe, and the rest were either guards or relatives.

The team was led by a young chieftain of a large tribe named Aru and his sister Ashir.

After formulating the plan, Ji Gang gave orders to all the beautiful members of the Imperial Guard to contact these Indians.

At first the Jinyiwei members thought it might be a little difficult, but after they found these Indians and expressed their ideas to them, these Indians seemed particularly excited.

Later, Jinyiwei intelligence personnel inquired and found out that with the pressure from the Ming Dynasty, the Da Piao people were very scarce in terms of supplies, so they actually attacked these Indians again.

They were unable to defeat the beautiful Indians in terms of force, and suffered losses time and time again. Now they are not only forced into a desperate situation, but are also at the end of their rope.

Just when these Indians were thinking about how to break the impasse, the Jinyiwei personnel found them.

In fact, they didn't believe it at first. After all, if a stranger suddenly appears and tells you that he can help you, it is either a scam or a trap.

Although their civilization is a little backward, it doesn't mean they are fools. They don't believe in such things as pie falling from the sky.

But the problem is that they no longer have a choice. Apart from this person representing the Ming Dynasty who is willing to help them, they really can't find any other help.

The representative was Lu An, a member of the Jinyiwei. The reason why he was asked to go was because he was the only one who could speak Indian dialect.

This guy is also a good eloquent person. He talked about everything from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times to the great feat of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and conquering the entire world.

My goodness, after this story, the ignorant Indians were fooled and signed a cooperation agreement with the other party without knowing it. They also pulled Lu An behind them and insisted on sending people back to recognize their ancestors and pay homage to their own emperor.

Lu An was not fooled by the other party's appearance.

He knew that these natives still did not believe him and wanted to go to the Ming Dynasty in person to get the emperor's approval before they would finally agree to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.

After he came back, he applied to the higher authorities, who agreed after just a moment's consideration, allowing the Indians to send representatives to the Ming Dynasty to discuss cooperation and return to their ancestral home.

The 16 people of Aru are the representatives this time.

Whether the two sides can reach a cooperation and jointly target Da Piaoliang depends on this exchange.

Early the next morning, Aru and others, who had changed into Ming Dynasty clothes, walked out of their rooms with a happy look on their faces.

The bed was so comfortable.

Ahil, wearing a beautiful gauze skirt, came to Aru's side, stretched out her hand and turned around to make her skirt spin, and said excitedly: "Brother, look at my clothes and see if they look good."

Aru, who was always serious, smiled, looked him up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very beautiful, just like the fairy in the legend."

"Whee!"

The little girl was so happy to receive her brother's praise that she skipped towards the hotel's flower bed.

It is incredible to them to see flowers in winter. Girls like these flowers and plants. If she hadn't wanted to show off her new clothes to her brother, she would have run over long ago.

Looking at his cheerful sister, the smile on Alu's face slowly faded and he sighed in his heart.

This trip to Ming Dynasty, in addition to confirming that what Lu An said was true, his grandfather and other clan leaders also gave him another task, which was to form an alliance with Ming Dynasty to strengthen the relationship between the two sides.

The object of the marriage alliance was his sister Ahil.

As the most beautiful flower of his race and the only relative left to him by his mother and father, he really couldn't bear to let his sister travel thousands of miles to marry in the Ming Dynasty.

But the threat posed by Da Piaoliang puts the race in constant negative danger.

Thinking of her father who was brutally murdered and her mother who was captured by Da Piaoliang in order to protect her and her sister, Aru clenched her fists and forced her heart to harden.

Some people ate all kinds of breakfast that they had never seen before, and then, with Aru speechless, they dragged a bunch of full people and boarded the vehicles prepared by the Ming government and headed towards the capital.

Along the way, they were completely eye-opening.

Smooth roads, endless fertile fields, various nice-looking vehicles, and people with similar skin color to theirs, with happy smiles on their faces.

Ahir leaned against the window, looking at the girls in beautiful clothes on the roadside, walking in groups of laughing people towards the market, his eyes full of envy.

On their side, they have to face the threat of Da Piaoliang all the time.

Especially for girls like these, if they were caught by Da Piaoliang, their fate would be worse than death.

They also longed for a happy, healthy and joyful life, but the reality of life forced them to hide everywhere and be ready to fight at any time.

Noticing his sister's gaze, Aru's originally complicated heart slowly relaxed a lot.

Next they will fight with Da Piaoliang. It is unknown how many people will die and when it will end.

Leaving my sister here might be a good choice.

It is peaceful and sound here. There is no threat of war or death. I may lose some freedom, but my sister's life is guaranteed.

The vehicle was traveling very fast and they arrived in the capital at noon.

Looking at the magnificent city gate and the people crowding into the city to buy New Year's goods, the few people were shocked again.

"Mr. Lu, can we go down and take a walk?"

Ahil looked at the bustling streets, his eyes full of longing.

Lu An did not answer immediately. He exchanged a few words with the people around him in a low voice before saying to Alu and others, "His Majesty has prepared a dinner and invited you. I just asked for you and you have two hours of rest time."

"I originally planned to let you go to the hotel to rest, but if you don't want to rest, you can go out for a walk."

When they heard that it was okay, several people nodded and said, "No need to rest, we are not tired."

For people like them who are on the go all year round, sitting in the car for a while is really not tiring, and they also want to go to the market.

Their schedule was very tight. They would attend a dinner today, an important ceremony of Daming tomorrow, complete the cooperation agreement between the two parties the day after tomorrow, and return with the supplies the day after tomorrow.

The schedule was tight, and since the two sides couldn't communicate with each other, we couldn't go out to buy things even if we had time.

Today is probably my only chance to go out and see the scenery of Daming and buy some gifts to bring back to my family. (End of this chapter)
