Chapter 1941

Zheng He looked tired. When he came out and saw many people gathering, he asked, "are you afraid?"

This group of people followed Zheng He's old people. Their long career at sea has consumed many people's pride. They just want to go out step by step to comfort them, and then go back to have rewards. It is a safe career.

"It's common sense that most of you have wives and children. We don't blame you."

Zheng He's words made many people lower their heads.

"No one knows what is ahead. It may be a treasure land full of gold. Of course, it is more likely to be a fierce land that can destroy the fleet."

"Our family is also afraid, but our family is more afraid of..."

Zheng He suddenly waved his fist and roared, "our family is more afraid that Daming's reputation will become a joke in the mouth of others! We are more afraid that future generations will be inferior to each other. We can't even build ships and dare not go out of the sea!"

Those people gradually raised their heads, and their eyes were more unwilling.

The thousand households shouted, "father-in-law, we're not afraid! Let's go around and see what's behind!"

Zheng He turned his eyes and looked at the men who had followed him for many years. A smile appeared on his haggard face because of lack of sleep.

He felt gratified, so he said involuntarily, "we are the sailors of Daming, not fishermen or pirates."

He pointed to the front and said, "we want to see what's there. Whether there are demons and monsters or huge waves ahead, we all want to see it for Daming!"

"Father in law, we are willing to go."

Hong Bao responded first and volunteered: "we are willing to take a few ships to explore the way. If we can't come back, we will have no regrets."

His face was firm and resolute, even with an irresistible meaning: "father-in-law, you must take the fleet back. Daming can lose a Hong Bao, but not you!"

Wang Jinghong nodded and said, "yes, father-in-law, you know the western region like the back of your hand. Most of the foreign negotiations between the DPRK and China need to listen to your suggestions, so you can't go!"

Zheng He said happily, "our family feels that our health is getting worse and worse. If we die on the bed, our family will regret for life. Don't argue. Choose six ships, fill them with supplies, and our family is ready to go right away."

Hong Bao said desperately, "father-in-law..."

Zheng He nodded to him and said, "it's good for you to have the idea of working for your country. Let's go later. Xinghe Bo said that the world is big enough to make those people in the court despair. If you don't go to see it, our family will die in peace!"

"Two grain ships and the remaining four new ships are all taken away."

The fleet is actually a standard military unit. If the master decides, it will be unchangeable.

The fleet quickly began to mobilize materials: the voyage not only needed food, but also tea, soybeans, dried vegetables and dried meat

"My father-in-law is ill."

Zheng He went into the cabin to have a rest after his explanation. He became ill in the storm. He still managed to command the fleet to deal with the storm and has been busy until now.

"Grandpa's face is almost thin, Grandpa Wang..."

Hong Bao pulled Wang Jinghong to the side and whispered, "what my father-in-law needs now is rest. If he goes by force, you and I all know the consequences..."

Wang Jinghong nodded, looked at the grain ships approaching, and then began to adjust materials.

"You know your father-in-law's temperament. Since he decides to go, no one can stop him."

Hong Bao looked blankly as the fleet began to decompose on the sea. Four new warships came out first, and the remaining two grain ships were still allocating materials.

Wang Jinghong is deeply worried. He is worried about Zheng He's body.

Hong Bao left the ship's side. He first went to the doctor, then made a cup of tea and knocked on Zheng He's hatch.

Zheng He was resting. His eyes were full of blood. His breathing was heavy and laborious.

Seeing Hong Bao holding hot tea in his hand, zheng he drank tea slowly after thanking him. Seeing that Hong Bao looked strange, he said, "our family is just a little tired. It's enough to keep it on the ship for some time."

Hong Bao's body was a little stiff. He bowed his head and said, "father-in-law, xinghebo said you were the first person to sail in this dynasty. Looking at the world, you are still the first person, so... You should take care."

Zheng he rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little weak. He put down his tea cup, breathed hard for several times and said, "it's OK. Our family should have caught cold and humidity in the storm. Let the doctor look back."

Hong Bao nodded and whispered, "father-in-law, have a sleep..."

Zheng He shook his head and gradually lowered his voice: "nothing. The grain ship will be transferred soon. Our family will change the ship... Change..."

Zheng He only felt tired and drowned himself like a tide. He leaned back in his chair, his head tilted back, and gradually fell asleep.

Hong Bao quietly went out to find Wang Jinghong and took him to see Zheng He.

As soon as he entered the cabin door, Wang Jinghong heard snoring, and Zheng He had been lying on the table beside him, sleeping soundly.

"My father-in-law is too tired."

Wang Jinghong looked back at Hong Bao standing outside the cabin door and said, "let the fleet wait for an hour."

It was no big deal, but Hong Bao shook his head.

"Grandpa Wang, we just asked the doctor for a sleeping medicine. It doesn't taste good. Grandpa is tired and thinks it's medicinal tea..."

Hong Bao's voice was a little erratic, but it was like a thunder bombarding the warehouse room, which made Wang Jinghong look pale.

"How dare you drug your father-in-law?"

Hong Bao said calmly, "as mentioned earlier, my father-in-law is not very well. He can hold on, but can we watch? Our family told the doctor that we can't sleep at night, so we can get more..."

"You're looking for death!"

Wang Jinghong didn't expect Hong Bao to be so bold. He gnashed his teeth and said, "I'm dizzy. Just wait for you to lose your head."

Hong Bao walked in and said carelessly, "kill your head, but before that, we'll take people to explore the channel."

Wang Jinghong smiled angrily and said, "are you crazy to climb up?"

Hong Bao said, "we don't want to do meritorious service now. Even if we find Tessie, the most important thing is to balance our merits and demerits. What we want is to take our fleet to explore. Even if there are only six ships, we are satisfied!"

Wang Jinghong was silent. He first found a quilt for Zheng He, then pointed out and went out with Hong Bao.

When they arrived on the deck, Wang Jinghong saw that the grain ship had allocated materials and began to leave the fleet and approach the four new warships. He said, "have you figured it out?"

Hong Bao nodded and mocked himself: "our family and father-in-law are fellow townsmen. They were sent to the palace together. Fortunately, Emperor Wen valued them."

When the Ming army invaded Yunnan, a large number of children were castrated and sent to the palace. Many of the eunuchs who followed Zhu Di were reused.

"My family is one year older than my father-in-law. In the fleet, we are just in charge of those sergeants. But my family likes to go to sea and the feeling of uncertainty. Father-in-law Wang, please complete it."

Hong Bao bowed his hand solemnly.

Wang Jinghong turned to look at the fleet and said faintly, "our family also wants to go, but the fleet must be led by someone, you..."

Hong Bao's heart was boiling and suffering like an oil pan at the moment. He broke his way back with action, and there was no possibility of turning back.

But if Wang Jinghong doesn't agree, he can only let people tie himself up and deal with it when zheng he wakes up.

"You... Go yourself. When your father-in-law wakes up, our family will naturally take care of your cheeks."
