While Zhu Zhangui and his son were chatting about Zheng He, a dozen warships were slowly moving forward in the Arabian Sea.

There were wounds everywhere on these warships, and there were more than a dozen big holes in the bulging sails.

On the largest ship among them, a somewhat tattered flag with clear characters was fluttering in the sea breeze.

"Someone is coming!"

A weak voice sounded in the command cabin, followed by a burst of footsteps.

"Sir, you're awake!"

A man whose shirtless body was wrapped in gauze helped a man who was lying on a soft bed with a broken left arm.

This man with a broken arm had clean cheeks and no trace of beard. His darkened face, which had been exposed to the sun all year round, looked slightly pale due to the loss of blood due to injuries.

"Where are we?"

The man looked at the darkness outside the window, his eyes blank for a moment, then he looked at the shirtless man.

"I don't know yet, but according to the route, we should reach the Delhi Dynasty soon!"

"Delhi Dynasty!"

The man with the broken arm pondered for a moment and thought about this country.

"Don't go there, the people there bully the weak and fear the strong. We will be easily eaten if we go there like this. Go to the Bangladesh Sultanate. The king there is very fond of me, the Ming Dynasty!"

"After resting there for a while, we will return to Daming."

After talking about his whereabouts, the man with the broken arm quickly asked again.

"Have the Portuguese pursuers caught up?"

The shirtless man shook his head.

"When it got dark, we had another fight with them. Later, Lao Liu and the people on his boat tried their best to stop them. So far, no trace of them has been found."

The cabin fell into silence again!

"Don't worry, we will definitely avenge this!"

The man also nodded seriously and said, "Your Highness is not the one who suffers the consequences. He will never give up until they are bleeding like rivers of blood!"

Hearing this man mention His Highness, the man with the broken arm showed a look of shame on his face.

At the same time, he was thinking in his mind that if His Highness had followed them this time, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state.

Thinking back on his voyages over the past few years, a trace of bitterness flashed in Zheng He's eyes.

When he first set out, he was very high-spirited and thought that he would never turn back unless he made tens of millions of money.

The initial stage was very smooth, starting from Quanzhou and arriving at Xiaoliuqiu, and then on to Luzon, where I received a large amount of income.

Zheng He, who was satisfied, felt that this was the beginning of prosperity. As he had guessed, he went to Bo Ni and finally reached an unknown continent.

There are no people up there, the woods are lush and the animals are plump. It is simply a paradise on earth.

After staying on that unknown continent for a while and finding no one, Zheng He followed the rules taught to him by Zhu Zhangui and erected a huge stone monument in a conspicuous place.

On one side it says, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

On the other side it says, Death to the intruder.

Then he wrote down the route, and Zheng He led the people to the east.

Zhu Zhangui once mentioned to him that after the Ming Dynasty, going east after the Japanese country, there was an endless sea.

At the end of the sea, there is a continent twice as big as the Ming Dynasty.

It is rich in natural resources and has as many minerals as stars. It is currently occupied by a group of indigenous people, a group of indigenous people without a country.

Although he didn't know where Zhu Zhangui knew this, Zheng He was very interested.

Likewise, he also had a wish in his heart that he had never told anyone.

He wants to travel around the world, and he wants to prove whether Zhu Zhangui's statement that the world is round is true or false.

Although his idea is good, the fleet is not his after all, he is just the leader of this team. His mission is to help Ming Dynasty explore overseas and make more friends with other countries, and spread Ming Dynasty's reputation throughout the world.

To be honest, Zheng He couldn't use the country's weapons to satisfy his own selfish interests.

Later, his troubles were known to his subordinates. The captains gathered together to discuss in private and decided to fulfill Zheng He's wish, which was also fulfilling their wishes.

As a sailor, who doesn’t want to leave a mark in the history of the world’s oceans?

A group of people briefly discussed and decided to perform a glorious feat to spread the power of the Ming Dynasty throughout the world.

The guys, whose newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, replenished their supplies and water sources, and rushed into the Pacific Ocean without looking back.

The long voyage made people despair. These guys relied on Zhu Zhangui's memory and a simple world map to move forward.

Along the way they encountered various situations.

Storms that can turn a clear sky black, huge waves that can destroy everything.

There is also the sea area that makes the compass spin crazily, the loneliness that can make people suffer mental breakdown, and the disease that can kill a whole boatload of people at any time.

Moving forward aimlessly, moving forward aimlessly.

They didn't know how long they walked, but after losing 1/3 of the fleet, they finally saw the mainland.

This is a very large continent, and there are really many indigenous people here.

The skin color of these people is somewhat similar to them, but a little darker.

The crew were very excited to see the mainland, and the natives were also very shocked and excited.

This was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a big ship, and also the first time that they had seen such well-dressed people.

Due to language barriers, the two parties could only communicate through sign language and gestures.

After staying for a few days, they discovered that the products here were really rich. Even copper mines, which were lacking in the Ming Dynasty, could often be heard in conversations with the indigenous people, saying that there were many copper mines in this area.

As for the various fruity animals that had never been seen before, Zheng He and others were dazzled by them.

Many veterans who had traveled with Zhu Zhangui had red eyes.

If it weren't for Zheng He's forced order, I'm afraid these people would have started killing them long ago.

In fact, let alone these soldiers, even Zheng He had the idea of ​​taking this land as the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

According to what he learned from the indigenous people, this land is very large, and some indigenous people have walked in one direction and have not returned yet.

The indigenous people deeply believe that those who go out should not have reached the end of the world yet.

Zheng He could only laugh at the thoughts of the indigenous people.

I'm afraid those who explore have already reached the end of the world, but this end is probably the end of the Western Heaven.

After staying here for a few months, Zheng He, with the permission of the indigenous people (actually in exchange for a knife), built a huge stone monument in a conspicuous location.

One side still says that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the other side says when it came here and who led the team.

That is to say, those natives do not know the Chinese characters of Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if they know that they have become Ming people inexplicably, I wonder if they will directly fall out with Zheng He.

After leaving this unknown continent, Zheng He and others headed north and discovered a new continent.

Following the same method, they left their mark and continued eastward.

They went all the way north, circumnavigated the continent, passed through a huge and extremely cold sea, and headed east according to Zhu Zhangui's map.

They were very lucky and soon arrived in a country called Eagle.

For the Ming people who came from the legendary East, these people were very warm on the surface, and Zheng He and others received warm hospitality.

Later, in order to show the power of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He invited a leader named Henry to visit their fleet.

Looking at the mighty warships of the Ming Dynasty, the leader named Henry was very envious and expressed his willingness to pay a high price to buy the design drawings and a warship of the Ming Dynasty warships.

Zheng He initially refused, but later the offer was too much.

Zheng He was excited by the boxes of gold coins and various gems that shone with golden light.

Thinking about the development of new warships that Zhu Zhangui talked to him when he came back, Zheng He felt that with Zhu Zhangui's emphasis on the sea, new warships may have already been released. The batch of warships in his hands now are probably already

backward goods.

Only a fool would not exchange a bunch of outdated things for boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

After making a friendly deal, the two parties exchanged letters of credence, and Zheng He followed the other party's instructions and began to travel south.

Then they arrived at a country called something like that, and after the other party took out a lot of gold and silver, Zheng He very generously sold them some blueprints and a smaller warship.

Now that it’s on sale, everyone should have it.

These two countries are so close, and I heard that they seem to be at war. How could Zheng He miss this opportunity to make money?

But good luck doesn't come one after another.

Some people are robbers at heart, and no matter how civilized they appear on the surface, they can't hide their dirty, stinking blood.

When they arrived in a country called Putao, the other country was very polite at first and warmly entertained Zheng He and his party.

As a result, on the night of the dinner, these people suddenly launched an attack, and Zheng He and others were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
