The winter wind was strong and fierce, blowing with great waves, crashing heavily on the hull and splashing a pile of foam.
The sky was overcast like lead, and the sea became more cloudy, and there was no blue or green, and it roared and churned gloomily, and the rows of great waves came over and over again, and crashed into the battleship with a creaking and rattling in the wind and waves.
"Senho-sama, we found some ship debris" "Catch it up" Soon, a fishing net carrying a pile of broken wooden planks was brought to the deck, and the thousand households leaned down, untied the fishing net with their own hands, and carefully inspected it piece by piece, and after a while, he said dejectedly: "These pieces of broken ship planks are the materials on the ship of our Daming Sailor." ” A soldier next to him cautiously asked, "My lord, do you think it will be?"
"Don't talk nonsense" Senno-sama stopped his nonsense sharply, and just as he stood up, the soldiers in the watchtower shouted: "Senno-sama, three battleships have been found ahead" Chihu pressed the knife and asked, "Who asked them for their identity?"
The flag was raised at the bow of the ship, and after a while, someone reported: "My lord, it is the person of the Hangzhou sailor" Senno-sama commanded, "Lean over" After a while, the ships of the two sides approached, and a man in command of the envoy uniform on the opposite ship put his hands together into a horn and shouted: "Is it the brother of the Liaodong Naval Division, have you found anything?"
"We only found some fragments of the ship, what did the brothers of the Hangzhou sailors find?"
"We have fished out a few corpses, and now we can't find anyone to identify them, I don't know if they are people from the national boat."
The two sides communicated briefly, and the Qianhu official sighed, looked back at the east, and muttered: "It is said that the country has also gone to the sea to find it by holy order, and I hope they can gain something over there." ” Next to him, the little soldier said: "Guogong has such a great ability, he will definitely not die."
Lord Qianhe's face was gloomy, and he said softly: "I hope so" The northward fleet of the Ming Dynasty encountered strong winds and waves in the Yueben Strait, repeating the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty a hundred years ago, and the news of the annihilation of the entire army has spread rapidly throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Yujue was crazy after hearing the news, he inquired about the news everywhere, and after confirming that Xia Xun's news was unknown, he couldn't help crying, and then borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, for three days, Liu Zhenfu, who had always been polite and polite, became a red-eyed drunkard, so shocked that none of his subordinates dared to approach him at this time.
The night was dark, Liu Yujue was still borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, he slowly unfolded the brocade clothes that Xia Xun gave him to accompany the driving map, looked at it slowly, and tears fell on the picture one by one.
He didn't dare to unfold this painting, because it was of course Yang Xu's intention to give him, but he was afraid of thinking of Luo Kedi, but now that the painting was unfolded, Liu Yujue trembled and went to get the wine again, because the cup was unstable, and a glass of wine was all spilled on the painting.
This is the painting left by the eldest brother Liu Yujue hurriedly spilled the wine on the painting, took out a handkerchief and carefully dipped it in the wine stains left on the painting, and suddenly, he seemed to notice something.
He held the ends of the scroll, looked at it carefully, then raised it up to the light on the table to look at it, and then gently groped for the scrolls on both sides.
There was a soft "click", and the scrolls at both ends popped open.
Luo Kedi and Xia Xun have passed on many ways to him, since they are suspicious, how can this mere method be difficult to stop him.
Liu Yujue looked at the painting in a daze for a long time, before he stretched out a hand and gently uncovered the painting, he was a little timid, because he had realized something.
The things in the mezzanine were presented, Liu Yujue took out the list that was as thin as a cicada's wings, stacked with three layers, and slowly opened it, a detailed list jumped into his eyes, Liu Yujue looked at the description, looked at the list, and his expression changed rapidly.
"The founding fathers are no longer alive, and the only remaining achievements of the six kingdoms of Jingnan are the princes of the six kingdoms, who are both royal relatives and nobles, and have a pivotal position in the army and in the court."
"This was given to me by Lord Luo before he left this world, and now I will give it to you" "When I come back this time, I'm afraid I'm going to seal the knife here, and I'll have fun with peace of mind."
The words that Xia Xun said appeared in his mind one by one, and Liu Yujue suddenly understood.
"Big brother, he's not dead hahahaha" "Big brother, why don't you take me, why don't you take me with you" There was a burst of laughter in the room, followed by a burst of crying, and the two brocade-clothed lieutenants guarding under the porch glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison: "The adults and the prince have a deep brotherhood, and they are too sad, and they are a little unconscious. ” "Why don't you take me with you, do you think that I want this official position, you know, the greatest happiness in my life is to be by your side.
You're not here, what's the point of me doing this?"
Liu Yujue's eyes glistened with tears, and he whispered, moving the silk cloth with the list towards the candle flame.
Soon, the list turned into a ball of flames, and two clusters of flames were reflected in Liu Yujue's eyes, scorching his lungs On the gloomy sea, more than 100 big ships rode the wind and waves.
There are many small islands in this area, and sailors have to be extra careful because they are worried that there are too many reefs nearby.
On the flagship, some of Xia Xun's family rested in their cabins, some sat and chatted in the cabin, Yang Huaiyuan took a few younger brothers and sisters to rub around in the cabin to "wipe the floor", Xia Xun walked in from the back cabin, it seemed that he had just woken up, and he was a little sleepy-eyed.
As soon as Yang Huaiyuan saw his father, he got up and pounced on him, shouting, "Daddy, where are we going?"
Xia Xun bent down to pick him up and said with a smile: "A place you've never been to before, it's fun, do you want to go?"
"It's boring to be bored at home all day" As soon as Yang Huaiyuan heard that it was funny, he happily clapped his hands.
Xia Xun smiled and patted his buttocks, put him down, and said, "Go, take my younger brothers and sisters to play" Turning his head and asking Su Ying again, "How is it, all the boats are still stable?"
Peng Ziqi hurriedly said: "Since the first day after killing some troublemakers and opponents and throwing the corpses into the sea, no one dares to openly oppose it, maybe some people are reluctant, but they can't turn the sky." ” Xia Xun nodded, and asked thank you: "Oh, by the way, how is Li Jinglong, is he still on a hunger strike and crying his nose?"
Tang Sai'er snatched the words of thanks, and grinned: "He's eating now." ” Xia Xun couldn't help but sigh and said, "This benevolent brother, it's really a living treasure, you sit, I'll go to the bow of the boat to have a look." ” Ming'er hurriedly took a piece of rice and put it on him, and instructed: "The wind is strong on the bow of the ship, you just woke up, and you don't have to catch the wind and cold." ” "Hmm" Xia Xun gently patted his wife's little hand, pulled the hatch, and walked out.
As soon as you leave the cabin, you will be greeted by a bitter cold wind, and the feeling of leaving the warm cabin is particularly obvious.
The bow of the ship is cold and the wind is hunting, the crew is intently driving, tempered by the ocean voyage through Eurasia, these sailors do not care about such wind and waves, they only care about the underwater reef, and the small boat that walks in the front is responsible for guiding them.
Xia Xun slowly walked to the bow of the ship and stood still, looking around the railing, around this big ship, more than a hundred giant ships rode the wind and waves, and moved synchronously in the direction he determined, which was very spectacular.
Xia Xun sighed softly, and slowly looked at the way he came with a nostalgic and melancholy gaze, where the water and sky were the same, and there was no shadow of land for a long time.
Someone once said that the death of the Ming Dynasty was due to the number of qi.
Because from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty to the 35th year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the global temperature dropped and entered the Xiaoice period, which led to a sharp drop in the grain production of the Ming Dynasty, and after the catastrophe, the peasants rose up, and then the plague that affected several provinces in northern China occurred, and finally led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Xia Xun disagreed, the death of Ming, the factor of natural disasters must be one of them, but it can never be the only factor.
The Xiaoice River period was not aimed at the land of Daming, the whole world was under its shroud, and which one else died under its influence Why did the Lee dynasty of Korea not die, why did the Tokugawa shogunate of Saimoto not die, why the Mughal dynasty in India was at its peak, why the Ottoman dynasty in Turkey and the Safavid dynasty in Persia came to say that Fang Chang was long, why Russia was strong, and why Britain and France were safe and sound Political, economic, military, cultural, external factors, internal factors, countless conditions were intertwined at that time, and contradictions erupted in a concentrated manner, which was the reason for its demise.
And now, it has changed too much, both externally and internally.
It will become healthier and stronger, and he believes that the country's national glory will last longer, leading to the tragic scene that has occurred in its original history, and that too many of the causes have disappeared.
For thousands of years, it has been ahead of the world, and it still does.
And in the future, even if this dynasty is not there, this nation will not miss the opportunity to be left behind by the whole world because it is closed to the whole world by leaps and bounds.

It will still be at the forefront of the whole world, he believes that the future of Daming will no longer be the future he knows, it is full of variables and hopes, and everything that will happen here will be a story that he has never read.
The cold wind was blowing, stirring his clothes, Xia Xun glanced at his hometown affectionately, and then turned his head to look in the direction he was going.
Some people think that the east of Benhai is the endless sea, but Xia Xun clearly knows that it is not Ahead is not an endless sea, but a vast and fertile land.
It was far closer to the Ming than they had sailed to Europe, closer than they had sailed to the Persian Gulf, and even closer than they had sailed from Nanking to Manchuria, where Alaska was.
Well, it's not called Alaska now, and it shouldn't be called that in the future.
He hadn't figured out what to name it there, maybe it would be better to leave this kind of thing to Xie Jin's literati to have a headache.
Xia Xun smiled slightly Yanjing City, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di was reclining on the kang, the kang under him was burning hot, a camel hair blanket was placed on his legs, and a brazier was placed in front of him, but the old cold legs were still sore to the bone.
The Tianjin Navy commander made Jiang Yan tremble and tell the news that they had searched the sea and found nothing, Zhu Di was silent for a long time after listening to it, waved his hand lightly, and Jiang Yan hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Zhu Di picked up two secret pieces and gently rubbed them with his old palm, which were the notes on the whereabouts of Dongchang Mu En and Jinyi Wei Sai Ha Zhixun Fang Fuguo Gong.
Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson, saw that he looked uncertain, and hurriedly said: "The accident of the prince is really the will of God, and the emperor's grandfather has to focus on the society of the country, don't spoil his body."
Zhu Di glanced at him deeply, smiled faintly, threw the two secret pieces into the brazier, and said gloomily: "There is no feast in the world."
The cantata burned brightly in the brazier, and Zhu Di lay down with difficulty, slowly turned around, and turned his back to the brazier.
Zhu Zhanji hurriedly stepped forward to unfold the quilt for him, and Zhu Di muttered: "I have always liked the winter in the north, but now, even the winter in the north is so difficult, I am old, really old."
"Grandpa Huang" Zhu Di didn't answer, he just wrapped the quilt tightly around his body, at this moment, he was no different from an ordinary old man who was frail and afraid of cold To be continued:
