Above the vast sea surface, a huge fleet followed the ocean current. Zhu Gaochi stood on the deck, holding a telescope to look at the sea conditions ahead. They had been out of the sea for a while. Compared to before going to sea, Zhu Gaochi was now dark and thinner, but he looked more energetic, and his eyes were a little more sharp.

Calculate the time, they have been going to sea for more than a month, and they have encountered many problems along the way, such as various sea disasters, such as storms, icebergs, etc., but compared to these natural disasters, the real problem is still within the fleet. After all, it is the first time they have transported so many people. Even if the materials are prepared, problems will still occur over time.

For example, some time ago, a person on a boat had a big conflict on the boat because the captain was unfair. Fortunately, Zhu Gaochi and his friends noticed it in time and immediately sent troops to board the ship to separate the two sides. This did not further expand the incident, but even so, several people died.

However, although there were various problems, the entire itinerary was quite smooth, especially Li Jie taught Zhu Gaochi the method he asked him to hold some large-scale entertainment activities in the fleet, which also diverted the attention of the fleet in a timely manner, so that the fleet's emotions would not become abnormal due to long-term navigation.

"Criminal, don't look at it. We are still some distance away from America, and we will definitely not be able to see it now!" At this moment, a young man came over with a smile and said, "This man is the nephew of Zhang Dingbian Qu Fu."

When Zhu Gaochi heard Qu Fu's words, he put down the telescope in his hand, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Qu, we have always been famous for America, but we have never seen this vast continent with our own eyes. What do you think this land looks like?"

Zhu Gaochi's words also expressed the voices of many Ming people. Although almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew about America, even the farmers in the fields knew that the potatoes and corn they usually ate came from the distant America.

But there are still a few people who have truly arrived in the Americas. Even though the Ming and Zhu Di have been sending fleets to America over the years and bringing back a large number of specialties from America, the more these specialties, the more it arouses the curiosity of many people. Many people, like Zhu Gaochi, secretly outline a America they imagined in the center.

"I don't know either. Although I have imagined the scene of setting foot on the Americas countless times, I can only piece together some fragments from some people's narratives, and I can't understand the full picture of America." Qu Fu also looked up at the front and said, his eyes full of yearning.

Qu Fu is Zhang Dingbian's nephew and married Zou Pusheng's great-granddaughter. However, the reason why he was able to reach his current position was not just based on these, but on his own ability. When he was studying at the Academy of Truth, he was very keen to discover that a huge change was about to occur in the Ming Dynasty, and this change would also affect the surrounding countries and forces.

If Qu Fu was an ordinary person, he might have devoted himself to the reform of the Ming Dynasty and even entered the official career to earn a new birth. However, he was Zhang Dingbian's nephew, and his identity might be concealed for a while, but he could not hide it for a lifetime. Therefore, even if he entered the official career, he might not be able to sit at a high position in the future.

Although Qu Fu was young, he was also a very ambitious person. So after a brief consideration, he immediately made a decision and went overseas to surrender to his uncle Zhang Dingbian. Although Zhang Dingbian's strength was very weak compared to the Ming Dynasty, in Qu Fu's opinion, there were countless opportunities overseas, and his uncle had seized these opportunities.

"Qu Fu, when you arrive in America, you will come and help me. I will trust you as much as my father trusts Master Daoyan. At that time, you and I will join forces to create a dynasty in America that is not inferior to the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Gaochi suddenly suggested to Qu Fu with a serious look on his face.

In fact, this is not the first time Zhu Gaochi has recruited Qu Fu. As early as two years ago, when he first met Qu Fu, he saw that the other party was a rare talent. Even Yao Guangxiao praised Qu Fu Youjia. He told Zhu Gaochi many times in private that he must recruit Qu Fu as a talent, so that he will have a capable assistant in the future, just like Li Jie next to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Qu Fu also controls the Zhang Dingbian force. Although Zhang Dingbian's power is much smaller than Zhu Di, he is extremely elite. If this force can be used, it will greatly enhance the chips in Zhu Gaochi's hands. In the future, his two younger brothers may not be able to make any troubles again.

When Qu Fu heard Zhu Gaochi's recruitment, hesitant expression appeared on his face, which made Zhu Gaochi happy, because compared to the previous few times, Qu Fu did not refuse immediately this time, which shows that his recruitment is still useful, at least Qu Fu has considered it seriously.

However, after thinking for a long time, Qu Fu finally shook his head and said, "Thank you for your importance to the prince. I am not alone now. My uncle handed me the burden on me. My every move also involves the livelihood of thousands of people, so I still need to consider this matter carefully."

"I know Brother Qu, you have a heavy responsibility, but we are now riding on the same boat and facing the unknown land of America, so for us, uniting is the best way to do it!" Zhu Gaochi said unwillingly at the end.

"Aren't we already united?" Qu Fu replied with a sloppy head. Now they are indeed in a cooperative relationship, but Qu Fu and the others maintain a certain degree of independence. And if they gain a firm foothold in the Americas in the future, they may go out and work alone at any time.

"I..." Zhu Gaochi was also speechless, and finally he could only sigh helplessly, "Forget it, I won't force you, but I still hope you can seriously consider my proposal."

Qu Fu seemed to be touched, and he was silent for a moment and finally said again: "Criminal, I will think carefully. Maybe after I arrive in America, I will give you a definite answer!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi finally showed a happy smile and immediately patted Qu Fu on the shoulder. Then the two of them talked about the fleet's affairs and then went back to deal with the matter.

In the following time, the fleet was closer to America every day, and Zhu Gaochi also climbed onto the deck more frequently, holding a telescope and looking at the scenery ahead, hoping to see the scenery of the American continent earlier.

Finally, one morning, before Zhu Gaochi woke up, he was suddenly awakened by the cheers on the deck. Then a guard rushed in and shouted, "Criminal, wake up, America is here!"
