The future is the future of the Age of Discovery.

On this point, Zhu Ying is naturally very clear in her heart.

The future direction is also very clear. Naturally, the Ming Dynasty will guide the entire Age of Discovery.

Especially for the naval expenditure, the current investment in military pay is constantly increasing.

If you want to start a great voyage, a fleet is definitely indispensable.

Now that Chen Muyue is going back to Annan to visit her relatives, this is a tentative start.

.....

"That's Champa over there, right?"

Chen Muyue stood on the deck, looking at the looming land on the sea, and asked the navy commander Jin Kaishan next to him.

After more than a month of sailing, Chen Muyue has gradually adapted to the roughness of the sea under the care of the female imperial physician.

The current situation is considered to be recovering well, and there are no problems in other aspects.

Hearing this, Jin Kaishan bowed respectfully and said, "Reporting to your Majesty, the sea ahead does not belong to Champa City, but to Annan."

After saying that, Jin Kaishan felt a little regretful. Naturally, he couldn't bring himself to open the pot, so how could he say it so straightforwardly?

As soon as these words came out, something felt wrong.

It was as if he had set his own course and deliberately took a long detour.

However, Chen Muyue didn't say much. She knew very well that the key to her trip to Annan was to visit the relatives, but it was already very good to be able to come back.

Looking at ancient and modern times, this is probably the first time in history, and this matter can be recorded in the annals of history.

Jin Kaishan carefully looked at Yue Fei's expression and saw that there was nothing strange about her, so he was relieved.

Of course he could guess that Concubine Yue knew about this matter, but even if he guessed it, it was also a taboo.

According to the current situation of Concubine Yue, it is impossible to become a queen, but becoming a concubine is a certainty.

He seems to be of high rank, but to His Highness Taisun, I'm afraid it's just a matter of words.

This errand came to Jinkaishan, which was a blessing and a disaster.

While keeping a distance from Concubine Yue, if we can get Concubine Yue's favor and complete this trip successfully, that would be a great achievement.

It is natural for me to get promoted after looking back.

"Mother, it's windy outside. We can reach Champa in the next two days. Otherwise, you'd better go back inside and have a rest."

"Yesterday we stopped at Qiongzhou, and there were a lot of rare fruits delivered there. Please try some of them, my lady. These are extremely rare in our capital of the Ming Dynasty."

After a long time, about one stick of incense time, Jin Kaishan said carefully.

Chen Muyue chuckled and said: "General Jin may have forgotten where I was before. I grew up in Annan, and the fruits of Qiongzhou are naturally available in Annan."

"Even some rare ones are very common in Annan Palace."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Kaishan immediately felt a little embarrassed.

But I forgot about this incident.

"Okay, you don't have to work hard to please me. His Highness, the most important thing is the loyal and patriotic soldiers. As long as you can successfully complete this voyage, you will naturally get a share of the credit."

"When you arrive at Champa City, be smart, be arrogant, and make a loud noise, so that you can live up to His Highness the Grand Sun's expectations of you."

"Don't always think about taking a wrong path, but understand."

Chen Muyue has been the eldest princess of Annan since she was a child. She grew up in an atmosphere like the palace and is very familiar with some tapping.

After hearing this, Jin Kaishan's expression paused, and he quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "It's because of Bei Zhi Hu Tu. Thank you for your enlightenment. I will definitely not disappoint His Highness."

Chen Muyue said nothing more, but turned her head and looked at the coastline on the Annan side again, with a hint of complexity in her eyes.

Two days later.

Champa coastal pier.

A large number of people gathered here, and the entire dock has been completely blocked.

The ships at the pier also stopped because of this.

"Who is coming to such a grand event? Master, look, isn't that the Champa King?"

"Even King Zhan came forward in person. I'm afraid this really means that a big shot is coming."

"Even after clearing all our ships, the goods on board haven't even been loaded yet."

A servant said to the handsomely dressed young man next to him.

The young man is none other than Chen Qizhi from the Jiangnan family.

When the big ship from Jiangnan Shipyard set off, Chen Qizhi followed it all the way south.

Unlike Chen Muyue's side, although they set off first, the merchant ship was for business, buying and selling along the way.

First, we carried out some purchasing and distribution in the Ming Dynasty, including Qiongzhou and other places of exile, where we could also stock up on many rare medicinal materials.

Fujian, Ryukyu and other places in front are all merchant ships.

Only then did we arrive in Champa yesterday afternoon.

It happened to happen to me.

"What do you know? The capital's newspaper has forgotten that it was during this period that our Ming Dynasty grandson's side concubine, Yue Fei, returned to Annan to visit her relatives."

"Calculating the time, it happens to be around this point. The only one who can be the one to wait and greet the King of Labor Zhan in person is our Lady Mingyue Concubine."

"Do you know what happened to Princess Champa some time ago? It is said that King Zhan gave up a city to His Highness Taisun as a gift to the Ming Dynasty and as an overseas vassal territory for our Ming Dynasty Emperor Sun Yunwen."

"Only then can we be qualified to choose a princess and give it to our Ming Dynasty Grandson as a concubine."

Chen Qizhi said with a smile.

Shortly before Champa was occupied, an unexpected incident occurred.

Originally, I wanted to decide on a princess from the Champa Kingdom to go to the Ming Dynasty, but after choosing from left to right, I found that among the princesses from the Champa Kingdom, there was no extremely beautiful one.

Appearance is the most important thing.

If the princess's appearance is not good enough and she is disliked by His Highness Taisun in the Ming Dynasty, then the whole city will be in vain.

So no matter what, you must choose a princess who is beautiful enough.

There is no other way, so Cha can only relax the restrictions a little in the end, but anyone who is contaminated with the blood of the Champa King does not matter even if he is a distant relative, as long as he is beautiful.

After letting go like this, I really found a suitable candidate.

It's a pity that the woman seems to have no intention of marrying far away, and her temperament is quite wild.

Unlike Annan people, most people are very close to the sea.

The woman's father was also a prominent figure, so the woman was able to receive a large boat as a gift from her father very early.

This leads to the fact that women like life at sea very much. I don’t know where I heard that after going to the Ming Dynasty, they can only stay in the deep palace compound forever.

So after confirming it, I simply ran away.

This time, it can be considered as a big blow.

Because after confirming the candidate, the Champa King hired a painter to draw a portrait and gave it to the Ming Dynasty envoy to take it to the Ming Dynasty capital to show His Highness Taisun.

Now the portrait has been sent away, but now the person has run away.

If Ming Dynasty thought it was okay and asked them to send it over, it would be really bad.

This matter can be said to be small or big.

If we really want to investigate, it will be a disaster for the current Champa.

For this reason, in order to express his sincerity, King Cha of Champa waited for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty fleet on the dock long in advance.

"Master, this woman is really out of her mind."

"That is our Highness the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty. The future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty can become the concubine of His Highness the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty. This is a blessing that cannot be achieved in ten lifetimes."

"This woman even sneaked out. Could it be that she looks down on our great grandson?"

The servant said angrily.

In his heart, or in the hearts of most Ming people at present, His Highness Taisun is the supreme being.

Being able to marry His Highness the Grandson is every woman’s dream.

This woman is so abnormal, it is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.

"Everyone has his own ambitions, but it shouldn't be because he doesn't want to get married. There is no one in the world who is more noble than His Highness the Grand Sun."

"Perhaps in her opinion, freedom is what she pursues in her heart."

Chen Qizhi said with some sigh. There was a bit of interest in this woman in his tone.

Of course, I was only slightly interested.
