Just when everyone was anxious but did not dare to take the initiative to urge them, the Sihai fleet finally made some movement.
Yes, Qian Wubing's long-awaited decree finally came. It was brought by Wang Shaojian from the Internal Affairs Bureau. When a group of eunuchs arrived in Nanjing, they were almost out of shape. I dare you, Zhu Houzhao also asked the courtiers who were familiar with maritime affairs,
Knowing that the fleet going out to sea has delayed the season and may have to wait until next year, I suddenly gave a decree to these eunuchs. The decree must be conveyed before the first day of December. The hard work of the eunuchs is naturally worth it.
It’s easy to imagine.
The purpose on the surface was vague, and Qian Wubing's mission had no clear instructions. What the hell was an "overseas missionary"? When Qian Wubing got the purpose, he pondered for a long time, and finally decided,
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a strange person
Although this mission is a little weird, it can vaguely explain to the world: My royal guards are not out to compete with the people for profit, they are for me to observe the wind overseas! Of course, as for observing
What kind of wind, only God knows.
Qian Wubing was confused about this decree, but beside him, wasn't there Wang Yue, an old eunuch who had been trying to figure out the emperor's decree all his life?
Qian Wu's name
It was a legitimate name to go to sea, but the decree granted Qian Wubing the right to make arbitrary decisions overseas as needed. This was an incredible grace. When he pointed this out to Qian Wubing, Qian Wubing was delighted.
I couldn't even open my eyes.
Those who are worried about the arrangements in Dongfan and Fusang, as well as the soldiers of the Li people, those Western warriors, wandering mercenaries, and the conquered pirates, etc. From now on, the name of thieves can be removed.
This is cheap, soliciting
These guards guarding the fleet overseas are nothing. Although the sources of these guards are a bit mixed and the number is a bit larger, as long as the Ming Dynasty is not troubled, everything will go smoothly! This is the emperor's will, who dares to chirp, you go to the emperor
Go ahead!
In short, after the decree came down, one person gave Qian Wubing's reputation for traveling, and the other gave Qian Wubing's actions emboldened. When I was waiting in Nanjing, everything was ready and all I needed was the east wind. Now the east wind has come.
, what is he waiting for!
On the second day of December, an auspicious day for travel, Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard was crowded with people and loud gongs and drums!
Tens of thousands of people witnessed this moment.
Eight majestic sea-going ships took the lead and slowly sailed out from Longjiang Pier, followed closely by fifty or sixty sea-going ships, meandering on the river for more than ten miles, amid the cheers and cheers of the people on the shore.
With good wishes and prayers for "good wind and smooth sailing", the fleet left Nanjing.
Qian Wubing stood on the bow of the first ship, with a group of young nobles with excited faces crowding behind him. Looking at the huge fleet behind him, he couldn't help but feel proud.
"Compose a poem! Master Qian!" The unknown young man behind him said loudly, "On this grand occasion, how could you not compose a poem to pass it down to future generations!"
Qian Wubing looked at them with a smile and thought about it for a while. Wang Yu, who was almost twice as wide as the boy next to him, glared at the boy fiercely. He had seen such a disgraceful sight before.
It's a shame to say that although everyone is average
I used to dance with guns and sticks, but when I was a child, I was persuaded by the sticks at home and drank some ink. Mr. Qian was born in Jinyiwei. I don’t know if this word can be used to write poems? You are obviously
Let’s embarrass Mr. Qian!
"Driving across the cold sea, my lonely ministers looked at the palace, called for wine bottles to greet guests, waved their bows and sat down to talk about war. The clouds guarded the toothpicks, and the stars contained swords. It is not my intention to be crowned a prince, but I hope the sea will be calm."
Qian Wubing looked at the endless white sails and chanted slowly.
"Okay!" As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yue shouted loudly. Regardless of whether this is the poem Mr. Qian asked someone to write last night, the meaning in this poem is really interesting.
"It's not my intention to be a prince, I hope the sea is peaceful!" The young men behind them also shouted loudly. Although this poem is not neat, the heroic spirit revealed between the lines, they
How could they not feel it, and they are looking forward to the age of making achievements, making some achievements, and becoming famous in the world. That is really what they think in their hearts. Uncles and marquises are nothing, even if they are left to eat and die, sooner or later
Won't you also attack the king? Listen to what Mr. Qian said - I hope the sea will be calm! Let this moody sea be submissive under everyone's feet, that's what you are capable of.
Qian Wubing's words really touched their hearts.
"It's so good!" Qian Wubing turned around and smiled at them: "If you don't go out and see, you probably don't know how big the world is. I'm just saying a few random words to see how excited you are, and those seasick ones.
Guys, you will have to bear with me in the future. The fleet has no plans to stop before reaching Fujian!"
The teenagers laughed, and some of them, who were slightly pale, scratched their heads in embarrassment. Qian Wubing was talking about them. The northerners were good at riding, and the southerners were good at water. There were a few seasick among this group of teenagers.
That's perfectly normal.
"When we get to Dongfan, the fleet needs to be reorganized. It's so chaotic. What to do if you encounter wind and waves at sea, or what to do if you encounter pirates. Now that you're out, you have to take care of all the ships!" Qian Wubing smiled and sat down.
"You have to learn something when you come out with me. Now, you have to say hello to who is arranged on those ships. After today, I won't treat you as uncles or marquises. They are all
If my soldiers disobey orders, then I will be sorry!"
"Don't worry, sir!" The teenagers responded in unison: "We are waiting for you to follow your lead!"
Qian Wubing nodded with satisfaction. The Longjiang Pier behind him was already in his field of vision and became a little blurry. On the wide river, those small boats saw this mighty fleet from a distance, as if a small fish met a big fish.
They avoided it from a distance, and it seemed like they were the only fleet traveling on the entire river.
In the residential houses on both sides of the river, there are also faint figures from time to time. They are the residents on the shore, curiously watching this huge fleet passing by on the river. It can be expected that for a long time, this
The fleet will be an enduring topic among residents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and when the fleet returns, the intensity of the topic will reach its peak again.
