Chapter 854
In the autumn of the sixth year of Wanli, there was only one rain in Beijing, but the weather was still getting cold. The Chengtian Gate was full of cars and horses. The big eyes kept aiming left and right.

Zhang Juzheng, named Shoufu and actually the regent, was sitting upright, with two faint breaths protruding from his breath, and his official robe was smooth without any wrinkles. He looked back at the giant bison walking slowly on the iron chain below the city, and followed the emperor's gaze from the corner of his eye. Looking down, he finally saw his official boots.

When he turned his head in a little surprise and found the emperor's boots, he turned his head and whispered to the servant: "Get a foot pad for Your Majesty."

The fleet of the Ming Dynasty around the world is still docked in Asia, and the Shuanglin ship was sent back as a cargo ship, but Feng Bao, who was standing behind the emperor, was not at all displeased. And as the flagship of the return of the government, it will be recorded in the annals of history, which makes the palm print great eunuch extremely honorable.

The second sentence of today's daily note is that the return envoy of the Shuanglin Ship arrived in Beijing.

When the emperor heard the news, he was in the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the young officer in the palace rode and shot with a swordsman. He didn't even change his military uniform, so he ordered the Minister of Rites to pass down a decree, calling the six ministers of the cabinet to the front gate to watch the ceremony, saying I want to take the minister to see the strange things sent back by Dongyang.

In order to ensure his majesty, the emperor sat on a chair one size larger than others. His chair was higher than others. Even though he was wearing a military uniform that was wider than ordinary uniforms, he still looked one size smaller than others, especially when the hem of the burqa was exposed. The cloud-toed black leather boots could not reach the ground, and both feet kept dangling beside the chair.

The emperor was dressed like a governor in brocade clothes.

The iron hat is covered with a layer of dark blue velvet, and there is a silver border under the arched dome. The brim of the hat on the forehead is also inlaid with silver and a ruby ​​from overseas, and the left and right are decorated with Luzon gold. The velvet lays flat while adding aesthetics.

After Chen Mu left, Ming's military uniforms began to be slowly affected outside the scope of Beiyang. The prosperous ocean trade brought about changes in people's pursuit of wealth and new aesthetics. aesthetics, and go a step further on the basis of local aesthetics.

People try to appreciate the advantages of three-dimensional and close-fitting for convenient movement, but they are also unwilling to give up the comfort and freedom brought by looseness.

This emphatic feature that prevailed in the Wanli era had the greatest impact on military uniforms.

For example, in Wanli's military uniform, the stand-up collar military uniform inside the breastplate is tight, but this does not prevent the little emperor from wearing a sleeveless thin velvet tuanlong armor outside the breastplate. All armor is concealed in a wide armor.

The footstool was taken by the eunuch to put it under his feet. Finally, the little emperor didn't have to shake his calf anymore. He cast a satisfied look at the teacher, raised his arm and pointed down the tower, and said, "What a big bull! Does it have horns?"

Standing on the other side of the emperor and slightly behind Feng Bao was Luo Shangzhi, a general of the Shenji camp who followed Chen Ju to the East Ocean. The young general took this opportunity to climb the Qianmen tower with the emperor's senior officials. Such an honor made him feel nervous. Did not answer immediately.

It wasn't until Feng Bao coughed lightly that Luo Shangzhi, who was like a cloud, stepped forward to bow down, cupped his hands and bowed his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this is the largest of the six bulls sent back by the Dongyang Army, and I dare not feed them on the boat." , a little thinner, with a body length of one foot and seven inches, a shoulder height of six feet and five inches, and a weight of 940 two catties."

"Is this still skinny?"

The little emperor showed great interest with a smile on his face, and said, "Do all Asia use such strong cattle to plow land?"

"Plowing, back to Your Majesty, the bull has no understanding of human nature, has a ferocious temperament, and can't cultivate the land and drive it well, but its meat is lean and tender, and many native peoples in Asia eat it, and it can produce high-quality bone skin, the thickest and most durable. "

As he spoke, Luo Shangzhi took out a lacquer box and offered it to the eunuch, and when the eunuch took it and unfolded it to Emperor Wanli, Luo Shangzhi explained: "This is dedicated to the military uniform factory set up by the Dongyang Military Government in Majiagang. Your majesty's cowhide soles are thick-soled and equipped with spikes, so they are like walking on the ground on ice and snow."

The little emperor laughed out loud looking at the two large outsoles with small nails on the thick leather soles inside the lacquer box. This Oriental military mansion is very interesting. They sent the emperor a pair of leather soles from across the sea!

The eunuch held the sole of the shoe, the emperor looked at it again and again, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it, and the bulls will be shipped back six. I heard there is a pair of calves inside?"

Luo Shangzhi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the fleet transported thirty cattle when it set sail from Changsheng County, but there were many accidents during the voyage, and there were only six cattle left when they arrived at the shore. There are indeed two calves, Chen Shuai said If you use a wild ox to breed a farm ox, maybe a stronger farm ox will be bred."

"Thirty, only six left?"

Little Wanli clicked his tongue secretly, and his thoughts of asking about the situation of Chaotian Palace were swallowed back into his stomach.

He thought in his heart: these thirty Wanli were loaded on the ship, and there were only six left when they were sent there, but he only had one person. So whether they were sent to the living Wanli or the dead Wanli?
Emperor Wanli, who was frightened by himself, couldn't help shaking his head. The two elbows leaned on the armrests of the chair, and they kept murmuring: "It's too dangerous, it's too dangerous!"

Suddenly thought of something, with a small face, he said: "Are you deliberately scaring me, so many people go as many times as they go, how many times they go, why are there only six of the thirty cows left... Is it because someone is hungry on the road , Eat all the calves that Jing Haibo gave me?"

Luo Shangzhi lowered his head when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat. It was true that the remaining 24 bison had been eaten...but it was not what the emperor thought.

"Your Majesty, livestock are different from humans. There will be giant tortoises later on. Thirty giant tortoises were shipped to Tianjin and there are only [-] left. Those small turkeys and big geese lost some due to weather changes, but not too much. "As long as people eat and drink well on the boat, it will be fine, and a month or two will pass quickly with some books. Only this wild ox is unruly."

"This time the livestock were all put in the bottom warehouse. Because the bulls were too big, there were two big blessings to transport them. One cow broke free from the shackles and hit the ship's board with its head during the voyage, knocking out a big hole in the bottom warehouse. When the ship sank, it was too late to save the people, so how could there be any energy left to save the cattle?"

Luo Shangzhi looked carefully at the emperor's expression as he said that, seeing the little emperor's face slowly turn from sullen to calm and then curious, he was relieved and said: "Going to Yazhou, Daming has many experienced captains, As long as you sail according to the time, you should eat and drink tea and drink tea on board, and you don’t steal alcohol, there will be no accidents.”

How did Luo Shangzhi know that the little emperor wasn't sullen, but because he was worried about the death of thirty Wanli one after another until only six remained.

As soon as he heard that he would not die, his interest returned immediately, and he stroked his chest and said something that would make people misunderstand that the monarch is sympathetic to the soldiers and civilians: "That's good, that's good, it's good that people don't die."

With a wave of his little hand, the emperor made a final decision and said: "Send the calf to the Imperial Horse Supervisor, call, call Yazhou boy!"
