Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

"Your voyage to the West this time, I will tell the world that you are looking for Emperor Zhenwu. As for Jianwen, don't mention it to anyone."

"In addition, looking for Jianwen is one aspect. Apart from Jianwen, there is another thing. You have to show other countries the political and military advantages of the Ming Empire, lure them with economic benefits, and push Ming to the world."

"Especially to develop Ming's overseas trade, and bring back new crafts, raw materials, technologies, and even advanced culture from other countries."

Zheng He is smart, so he can naturally understand the relationship between them, and promises again and again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will fulfill his mission."

As he spoke, he added: "The slaves will also pay attention to and investigate the strength of the military divisions and the sophistication of the weapons in the countries they pass through."

In one sentence, it directly touched Zhu Di's heart.

That's right, that's what he wanted most.

What handicrafts, what raw materials, everything is secondary, even if you are looking for Jianwen, you can put it aside.

However, the assessment of the military strength of other countries and the study of sophisticated weapons are urgent.

The world is big, but Ming Dynasty is small to the world.

If such a huge world can be planted with the flag of Ming Dynasty, then Ming Dynasty will become the most powerful and vast country since ancient times.

When those countries have become the vassal states of Ming Dynasty, why worry about technology, craftsmanship and raw materials not reaching Ming Dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, there is no emperor who is not keen on expanding the territory.

"Three guarantees, you know my heart best."

The two masters and servants looked at each other and smiled, and the secret was fulfilled.

In a few days, under the premise that Emperor Zhenwu appeared and brought down auspiciousness, public opinion gradually favored Zhu Di.

The people quickly forgot about Jianwen becoming a fairy before.

Zhu Di saw that the time was ripe, so he claimed that he was entrusted by Emperor Zhenwu in his dream.

Emperor Zhenwu will personally appear on Penglai Xiandao to teach the scriptures. As the imperial heir of Zhenwu Emperor, Zhu Di decided to send envoys to find Penglai Xiandao and seek immortals.

So Zheng He set off from Nanjing in the name of looking for immortals, and set the starting point of his voyage to Taicang, Jiangsu, officially opening his great voyage era.

As for the inland side, Zhu Di used the same reason to find someone who had no background and was a soft-spoken person to give the matter to Hu.

Hu Wei was also a hero of Jing Nan at the beginning, but he was relatively rigid and average in ability, so his official position was not high.

This time I was looking for him because he is rigid, just stupid and loyal, and will never reveal the secret, let alone betray Zhu Di.

And compared to the ocean, Zhu Di believes that if Jianwen is still alive, he is more likely to hide on land, so Zhu Di has no other requirements for Hu Wei.

Just one point, to find Emperor Jianwen, to see people in life, and to see corpses in death.

Hu Wei happily accepted the task, and on the second day, he brought a team of one hundred people, secretly left Nanjing in the name of looking for immortals, and is now searching in the territory of Daming.

After quelling the rumors that Jianwen became a fairy, he sent people to search for him from heaven and earth.

At this point, a stone in Zhu Di's heart has only slightly landed.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

……

Before Zheng He set off, he got Zhu Di's permission to go out of the palace to take care of housework.

He didn't go anywhere, and came to the Lu residence first.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down to Lu Lin from a distance and bowed heavily.

Lu Lin was about to come out to greet him, but before he reached the door, he saw Zheng He kneeling there and kowtowing to himself.

After a short period of confusion, he hurried out to help him.

"Brother Zheng He, what are you doing, get up quickly."

But Zheng He didn't move, and said gratefully with fists in his hands: "Mr. Lu County, just let me worship you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to fulfill my sailing dream in this life."

"I have nothing to thank you. I can only kowtow to you and express my gratitude. I, Zheng He, will always remember your great kindness and virtue. If I can be of use to you in the future, I will definitely be heartbroken."

The news that Zheng He wanted to go to the west to find immortals had already spread in Nanjing, and Lu Lin had heard about it too.

So he knew what he wanted to thank, so he smiled and said: "You don't need to thank me, this is yours, I just made a favor."

Zheng He shook his head firmly, this is not a favor, but to him, it is the kindness of regeneration.

If he hadn't offered His Majesty the method of immortals restraining immortals, His Majesty would not have the idea of ​​looking for immortals.

And if it wasn't for his world map, His Majesty would not know how big the outside world is, let alone be interested in those countries deep in the ocean.

All in all, without Lu Lin, His Majesty would never have thought of sailing to the West in his life.

Therefore, being able to sail was all contributed by Lu Xianzi. Maybe Lu Xianzi thought it was nothing, but for Zheng He, it was the greatest gift in his life.

It is even greater than the kindness of parents.

Zheng He insisted on kneeling and kowtow.

Lu Lin couldn't stop him, so he let him go.

After he finished kneeling and kowtowing, he was invited into the house.

After brewing tea, Zheng He still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

Lu Lin saw it, and was also happy for him in his heart. He was able to witness Zheng He, one of China's greatest navigators, sailing to the West with his own eyes.

If he could return to modern times, it would be enough for him to boast for a lifetime.

"Wait for me." Lu Lin thought of something, and hurried back to the study to get a box, and put it in front of Zheng He.

"This is?" Zheng He opened it and found that it turned out to be a compass.

and many more!

Zheng He found that something was wrong. This compass was different from the one given to him by the Ministry of Industry, except that the workmanship was more finely visible on the surface.

The internal structure of the compass seems to have also been adjusted. The direction scale has been increased from the original eight directions to 42 directions. The scale is so accurate that a road idiot can easily distinguish the direction.

And its chassis has also been adjusted. The chassis of the Ministry of Industry has only one line, and the wind does not point to north and south, but this compass is a cross, pointing to southeast, northwest, respectively.
