Chapter One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty Three Grand Meeting Four
In fact, Han Du also believed that it was impossible for all those people to die. Since they were separated on the American continent, it meant that they had passed the most dangerous stage.
Then they only need to sail along the coastline and there will be no problems.
The American continent is so rich in products, and there is no shortage of fresh water and food. Even if those people rely on hunting, they have no problem surviving.
What's more, there are many natives in the Americas. Even if they don't hunt, wouldn't they still rob them?
Based on Han Du's understanding of those people, they would not even think about being self-sufficient, but would directly grab the food of the indigenous people.
"It seems that I still need to have a good talk with Zhu Zhanji." Han Du thought to himself.
When Tang Ding saw that Han Du didn't reply to him, he said seriously, "Don't take it lightly, you really have to guard against these people!"
"I don't understand." Han Du nodded lightly, "But you also know that the emperor will never let me take charge of the navy again. Even if I want to do something, I am powerless. So, I still need you for this matter.
Come and take the trouble.”
Tang Ding nodded solemnly. He didn't know why the emperor was so wary of Han Du. Obviously Han Du had done enough. He not only supported the emperor's accession to the throne, but also took the initiative to withdraw from the Ming Dynasty in the years after he ascended the throne, so that he had enough
It takes time to slowly take control of the situation.
Logically speaking, Han Du is still his biological uncle. To this extent, even if Han Du is not promoted to a higher position, he should still live in harmony.
"I really want you to lead the navy now!" Tang Ding showed an unknown fear on his face, "I am really afraid that those people will suddenly appear and give the navy a fatal blow! Without you, I would
I can’t feel at ease at all, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time.”
"You don't have to be so frightened." Han Du stretched out his hand and patted Tang Ding's shoulder a few times, "The Ming Navy has many warships. How many people are there, and how many can they have?"
Warship? The possibility of inflicting a devastating blow on the navy is very small. At most, it will only cause a little loss in a sneak attack."
Even with Han Du's comfort, Tang Ding did not relax at all. He raised his head and looked into Han Du's eyes and said, "Don't forget, there are still those remnants of the Japanese country. The shipbuilding cave was so big. Who knew there were
How many remnants fled to the sea?"
"I'm worried now that if these remnants of the Japanese country unite with those people, the situation will be terrible."
Han Du was startled and thought for a moment that if these two groups of people really worked together, what would happen?
Suddenly, Han Du was discouraged and lowered his head. Even if they really united, would he believe it if he reported it to the emperor?
Not only do you not believe it, but you may also become suspicious and suspect that you have ulterior motives.
As a last resort, Han Du could only smile reluctantly. He didn't know whether he was comforting Tang Ding or comforting his own heart.
"The emperor has agreed to open sea trade with Xinming. This matter will begin after Zhu Zhanji returns. At that time, perhaps the Navy can send people there to take a look. Isn't there Xinming still there?
Those people may no longer have the courage to cross the ocean. As long as they sail along the coastline, they may not be able to avoid Zhu Di's eyes."
Han Du still has some admiration for Zhu Di's ability. Although Zhu Di seems to like to rush into battle personally, which seems a bit reckless, in fact Zhu Di is both rough and fine.
Even when he started the army, it was not a rash decision, but a decision he made after careful consideration.
Zhu Di regarded the Americas as his forbidden territory, so it was impossible for him to know nothing about the large number of warships passing through.
only
Thinking that at first he wanted to cut Zhu Di into pieces, but now he placed his hope on him, Han Du felt as if God was teasing him.
"That's all we can do." Tang Ding had no choice but to sigh helplessly.
On the other side, Zhu Yunye was busy asking his mother to sit down, and tried his best to find topics to talk to so as not to make her feel bored.
After Fang Xiaoru saw that everything had returned to calm, he continued to announce the next award winner.
"After voting, the winner of the Huayuan Award is"
As Fang Xiaoru's voice floated out, the only sound in the huge square was the rustling of the treetops in the wind.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Xiaoru shouted with all his strength, "Zhu Tan, congratulations to him!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
There was another round of thunderous applause, and the students cheered heartily, giving Zhu Tan their fiercest enthusiasm.
"Please invite Zhu Tan to come on stage!"
Zhu Tan, who was sitting below, suddenly stood up and climbed up to the high platform in three steps and two steps at a time.
When Zhu Tan appeared, Han Jingyun's eyes suddenly changed slightly, pointing at him and saying, "Is he Zhu Tan? King of Lu Zhu Tan? How did he become like this?"
Zhu Yunye's expression also changed, and he didn't know what was going on.
Look at Zhu Tan's current appearance. Even if he is not wearing a royal robe, his indigo brocade robe is still full of stains, and there are even large patches of black. This is no dignified King Lu, even pigs are cleaner than him.
Facing the questioning eyes of his mother, Zhu Yunye had no choice but to send someone to call Han Du.
Han Du was chatting about Tang Ding's children when he saw the chief eunuch trotting over quickly.
Knowing that the emperor had summoned him, Han Du had no choice but to leave the soup cauldron and follow the chief eunuch away.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother."
Han Du was about to salute, but was interrupted by Zhu Yunye, "What happened to Zhu Tan? How did he become like this?"
Zhu Yunye looked a little angry and lowered his voice and said to Han Du, "He is my imperial uncle. People think he is being treated very harshly by me because of the news that he is like this!"
Han Du looked back at Zhu Tan and frowned at his slovenly appearance.
Then he turned to Zhu Yunye and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, if he wants to dress like this, what can I do?"
Zhu Yunye was obviously dissatisfied with Han Du's answer, and his eyes began to look sharp, "So the emperor did it on purpose?"
Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? These words echoed in Zhu Yunye's heart, and he gradually became angry.
After all, Zhu Tan really didn't dare to be flattered by his appearance. Even his clothes were as dirty as a beggar rather than a prince, and he also had a strange smell all over his body.
Not to mention the people present, I am afraid that even if ordinary people were standing next to him, they would hide their noses and avoid him.
"This was what King Lu was like when Emperor Gaozu was still here," Han Du replied bravely.
It's too outrageous for you to blame me for things that Lao Zhu can't take care of.
After Zhu Tan refined phosphorus, his interest in it greatly increased, and he found someone to collect a large amount of human urine to continue refining. As a result, the people in his suburban village of Zhuangzi, within a mile of it, suffered greatly.
After being sued by the common people to the imperial court, Lao Zhu wanted to hang Zhu Tan up and beat him. However, Zhu Tan still acted in his own way and claimed that it was knowledge. He even used the words Lao Zhu once told him to be diligent and studious to fight back, which made Lao Zhu say
Speechless.
In the end, he simply spent money to move all the people around Zhutan Village and let him do whatever he wanted.
