Chapter 30 I want to get on board
After experiencing the turmoil when he first entered Beijing, Wang Changfeng has finally been able to settle down and take a breather recently.
Half a month ago, thanks to Wang Changfeng's daily natural induction breath input and meticulous medicinal care, Yu Zhen'er's injury healed quickly and she was basically able to move around on her own, except that she was still unable to move violently.
After all, it was inconvenient for Yu Zhen'er to live in the Zheng Mansion, so she clamored to move to the newly purchased courtyard.
Wang Changfeng was so happy that he took Yuezhu and a few guards and spent half a day completing the moving task. He also cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and the three of them happily moved to their new home.
Liu Zhiyuan and other personal guards also moved from the front yard of Zheng Mansion to the front yard of the small courtyard. Although the place is much smaller than Zheng Mansion, everyone has become familiar with each other these days, and they feel more harmonious living close to each other.
Ever since Princess Min heard that Wang Changfeng was attacked and Yu Zhen'er was injured, she ran to the courtyard every three days, and King Lu couldn't stop her.
Wang Changfeng didn't know when the two girls had put aside their old grudges and became as good as sisters, talking about everything, but they actually left him aside.
Wang Changfeng felt at ease, and it just so happened that Longwei's side needed to put more thought into various tasks and step up its progress.
The shipyard is making rapid progress, and the big ship has begun to take shape. It will be launched and outfitted in more than ten days. Wang Changfeng is secretly happy at the thought of forty cannons being quietly installed on the big ship. If anyone dares to provoke again, he will use the cannons.
Damn it.
News came from Zhoushan that the Yu family brothers led everyone to practice day and night. Except for a few who couldn't bear it and deserted, the rest gritted their teeth and persevered.
Just when Wang Changfeng thought everything was going well, another decree came down from the palace, asking him to enter the palace once and report on the preparations.
Having not seen the emperor for more than half a month, Wang Changfeng was really nervous and looking forward to it.
This time the emperor summoned Zheng He alone and did not let him enter the palace together. However, when Wang Changfeng entered the imperial study room, he found that an official from the Imperial Guard was already waiting there.
The emperor asked about the progress of various tasks, especially the details of the establishment of an independent navy in Yujia Village, Zhoushan. Zheng He had already told the emperor about the general idea once before, and this time Wang Changfeng explained the ins and outs of the establishment of the navy.
Reported in detail.
The emperor said: "The brothers of the Yu family are the key. You have to be careful. If necessary, they can be given official positions and bound by court rules. Pay attention to the remaining people and promote them as appropriate."
Wang Changfeng understood the emperor's intention, thought about it and said: "Your Majesty is wise. I think that Yu BuYi is a calm and sophisticated person, so he can temporarily take over the post of head of the Dragon Guard Second Division and manage all equipment supplies. Yu BuYi is smart and brave, so he can temporarily take charge of Shenlong."
As the leader of the team, he is responsible for protecting and defending against the enemy."
The emperor nodded and said: "I accept your request. I will take the job temporarily. If I come back with merit from this trip, I will reward him accordingly and put him to good use."
Wang Changfeng bowed and said: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I feel more confident now."
The emperor smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have found another helper for you. This is the Qianhu Wooden Sword of the Jinyi Guard. He has good skills and is very safe in his work. How about I be your deputy commander of the Xunlong Guard?"
Wang Changfeng glanced at the Jin Yiwei official and saw that he had a firm expression and sharp eyes, but he looked a bit dull. He was really worthy of his surname.
Wang Changfeng responded quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The person appointed by Your Majesty must be very suitable."
Mu Jian bowed to Wang Changfeng and said, "I've met Commander Wang." Then he stopped talking.
Wang Changfeng smiled and returned the greeting: "It's easy to talk, don't be so polite. From now on, when we work in a yamen, we have to support each other."
The emperor smiled at Wang Changfeng and said: "He is an honest man and doesn't know how to talk. Don't always bully him in the future."
Wang Changfeng was sweating almost, and said humbly: "Your Majesty, you know that I am also an honest person, more honest than anyone else."
The emperor laughed loudly and said: "Okay, you two honest people will get together and finish my errands honestly."
The two of them responded in unison: "I obey the order."
Wang Changfeng thought to himself, what was supposed to come has come, and the emperor indeed arranged for the Jin Yiwei to come in. But since he clearly arranged for people to come in, it means that the emperor did not shy away from him, and overall he still trusted him. But he didn't know where the wooden sword was.
As for the background of Jinyiweizhong, we must ask Zheng He to help us check it out.
After leaving the palace, Wang Changfeng said goodbye to Mu Jian and rushed to the Zheng Mansion in Wuyi Lane.
When Zheng He saw him coming in a hurry, he thought something big had happened, but when he asked, it turned out to be the case.
Zheng He smiled and said: "This is something that was expected. It is such a confidential and urgent matter. Even if you let me lead the team out to sea, the emperor will have to arrange for people from the Jin Yiwei to follow. It is mainly for the sake of balance, and it can also provide you with certain assistance."
, after all, Jin Yiwei can give face whenever he does anything."
After a pause, Zheng He continued: "As for Mu Jian, I didn't expect that the emperor would arrange for him to come over. I thought Ji Gang would recommend a few of his confidants. Mu Jian is an old man of Jinyiwei. He has been there since the Hongwu period.
So I joined Jinyiwei. When I was in charge of Jinyiwei, I was promoted to the rank of Hundred Households. Later, because of my ability, I was promoted to the rank of Thousand Households by Ji Gang. This person should not have any factional affiliations. He is a bit honest and dull, and he is not very good at socializing and co-worker relations.
It's also relatively average. I guess Ji Gang also took this into account, so he didn't suppress him in particular, so he didn't bury his talents. You don't have to be mean when you get along with him in the future, just treat each other with a fair heart, and I guess he won't restrict him everywhere."
Wang Changfeng nodded and said: "I also see that this person should not have a bad heart, but at most he is a little foolish and loyal."
Zheng He laughed and scolded: "Just talk to me, don't mess around when you go out!"
Wang Changfeng realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly said, "That's nonsense. Anyway, if you are not from Ji Gang's group, you are lucky enough to be able to cooperate."
Zheng He also told some insider information about the management and operation of Jinyiwei, including the secret code to prevent Wang Changfeng from suffering unexplained losses in the future. Wang Changfeng listened attentively and remembered them one by one.
The autumn wind is gradually picking up, and although the capital is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is starting to get cooler day by day.
Yu Zhen'er's injuries have basically recovered and her movements are intact, but there is still some blockage in mobilizing the true energy in her body.
Early that morning, before Wang Changfeng got up, Zhu Minmin pushed open the door and entered. Wang Changfeng was so frightened that he shrank under the quilt.
Zhu Minmin snorted and said: "Why are you hiding, as if I can eat you. Get up quickly, I have something to tell you."
Wang Changfeng said embarrassedly: "Then you have to go out first, right? How can I get up while you are here?"
Zhu Minmin said angrily: "Humph, I thought someone wanted to see you." She turned around and slammed the door and went out.
Wang Changfeng sighed, wondering what trouble the princess was going to make.
After dragging herself out of bed and washing up, Zhu Minmin was already jumping up and down in the living room, making Yu Zhener snicker beside her.
Wang Changfeng said: "I didn't have a good meal at home so early in the morning. What's the emergency for coming here?"
Seeing that he finally came out, Zhu Minmin said angrily: "If you don't come out, I'm going to go in and pull you out. What a stain!"
Yu Zhen'er smiled and said: "We quarrel as soon as we meet, and it's always the same. Breakfast is already prepared, let's talk while eating."
Wang Changfeng walked slowly to the table and sat down, picked up the porridge and drank it slowly.
Yu Zhen'er pulled Zhu Minmin to sit down together, and suddenly no one spoke.
Wang Changfeng felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. When he looked up, he saw Yu Zhen'er holding a bowl and sipping the porridge carefully with a small spoon. Zhu Minmin was holding a bun in her hand, but she didn't eat it and just stared blankly.
Wang Changfeng knew that the two aunts must have something on their minds, otherwise they wouldn't be so weird. However, he knew that if he spoke first, he would definitely offend them, so he simply resisted and picked up a bun and ate it.
Zhu Minmin slapped the buns on the table and said angrily: "Sister Zhen'er, if you don't tell me, I won't."
Yu Zhen'er nodded and said nothing.
Wang Changfeng didn't seem to hear it and continued to chew the buns, occasionally eating side dishes.
Zhu Minmin said: "Don't eat it yet, I have something serious to discuss with you."
Wang Changfeng paused for a moment, turned around and pretended to be confused: "Are you talking to me?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid!" Zhu Minmin raised her head, puffed up her chest, and said, "Well, have you set a time to leave?"
Wang Changfeng's eyes involuntarily glanced at her puffed-out breasts, and he quickly moved away, pretending to be calm: "Leaving? Where are you going? I haven't heard of anyone going out recently."
Zhu Minmin said angrily: "Let's see how I deal with you if you keep making more detours! Let's be honest, sister Zhen'er and I have discussed it in the past few days, and we will also go to sea with the big ship!"
Wang Changfeng said expressionlessly: "Oh, then you go discuss it with Mr. Zheng. They have a long journey to the West this time, so you have to make preparations in advance."
Yu Zhener laughed when she heard this and said, "If you keep pretending to be stupid, I won't care if Minmin comes over to hammer you."
Zhu Minmin said angrily: "This kid can't talk well without hitting him! Sister, get out of the way and let me punch him a few times!"
Wang Changfeng put down his bowl and chopsticks, sighed and said: "You are such an old man, but you still talk like this every day. Will you be able to get married in the future?"
Yu Zhen'er spat and said: "Seriously, Minmin and I are both good at martial arts and can help a lot on the ship. As the commander, you won't disagree, right?"
Wang Changfeng knew what the two of them were thinking, but the fate of their trip to the East China Sea was uncertain, and even he himself was mentally prepared that he would not be able to come back. He would not be at ease if he brought these two girls with him again.
Wang Changfeng shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to take you with me. It's indeed the first time we go out. I'm not sure in my heart. If there is something wrong with you, Prince Lu and Master will not skin me. Besides, there are a lot of people on the boat."
Helping a man, it’s really inconvenient for you two girls to get along with each other day and night.”
Zhu Minmin said angrily: "You don't have to worry about my father. I will tell him myself, and you don't have to take any responsibility. As for those sailors, I'm afraid they are more afraid of us than we are afraid of them, right?"
Wang Changfeng still shook his head: "Even so, the sea is not as good as the land. I know that you take people out to go horse racing and hunting every day, wandering around the world. If you really go to the sea, most people will not be able to endure that kind of hardship. To tell you the truth, I am in Zhoushan
The sailors over there have been training hard for more than a month, just to hone their sea survival skills."
Yu Zhen'er also put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Minmin hasn't been to the sea very often, not even me?"
Wang Changfeng nodded: "We were joking before, but this time we are serious about it, and you can't do it either."
Zhu Minmin wanted to argue again, but Yu Zhen'er winked at her, indicating that she didn't need to say any more.
