The man who knelt all over the ground outside the Daming Gate was just as everyone was full of suspicion.

Zhu Di said: "Hu Lu is just a lowly merchant from Dashi. He entrusted the leader of Dashi. He led a fleet to Beijing and called himself a tribute envoy. He was clever and despised. His crimes were all over the bamboo. Although I was disgusted, I had a good idea and would not deal with it. I hope he could know his mistakes and correct them. But this thief was not grateful and missed his kindness. Instead, he led a ship to Danyang, Zhenjiang, and even robbed people. More than a hundred people were killed by this dog thief, and there were countless wealth and goods. How different is such a person and a beast? This person is not as good as a pig or a dog!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. No one had ever thought that Hu Lu was so bold and did such a thing.

However, some people secretly thought that Hu Lu was desperate and did not know whether he would have any danger of being in Jinling. It may not be a solution to escape overnight. After all, he has a boat and goes out of the sea. The sky is high and the sea is wide. Who can do what he can do with him?

But this guy actually robbed people, which obviously violated the bottom line.

Zhu Di said coldly: "I originally hoped that my tomorrow will be powerful and all nations will come to celebrate with joy, but among them, there are always evil people who are afraid of power but not virtuous and bold. If Hu Lu is not eliminated today, I will be incompatible!"

Saying these harsh words in front of many people was enough to make people shocked.

After all, this is a scandal, and it is too late to hide it. As a result, the emperor actually advertised it directly.

What does it mean?

Many people secretly speculated in their hearts, which means that Your Majesty was completely furious. With Your Majesty's character, he could no longer bear it. He no longer cared about the so-called face, so he simply tore off his face and wanted to kill someone.

"I sent an order to inspect the sea routes of the prefectures along the coast to strengthen vigilance. If the traces of the pirate ship are found, not only should they report immediately, but they should also try their best to arrest them. Those who have won the head of the Hu Lu bandit will be rewarded with a thousand gold medals, and the other followers will also receive a heavy reward."

Zhu Di issued an order, but many people shook their heads secretly.

The Ming Dynasty set up sea inspections in all coastal prefectures, but the so-called sea inspections are useless. They are just a small nine-grade organization, with only a few dozen or hundreds of people. With one or two small sea boats, the original intention was of course to strictly prohibit the people from going into the sea. These people can deal with ordinary people, but to deal with the Big Food Fleet, that's a joke. Even if they can't beat you, they are big sea boats. Can you catch up with your small sampan?

However, if you don’t issue this order, you can’t do anything. The Ming Dynasty has always neglected to build coastal defense. At present, you can only cram the Buddha for a while.

Zhu Di's anger was still not gone. He was like an angry lion. He was about to turn back to the palace, but suddenly remembered his original intention to leave the palace, and said coldly: "Continue, go to Longjiang and see the boat, can a group of sluts stop my elegant pleasure? Let's set off."

With countless people silent, the imperial carriage continued to leave the palace.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Longjiang. Although the big food boats disappeared overnight, everyone did not care. After all, people who cannot know the inside story will certainly have many speculations, but this has nothing to do with them after all, and it is just an extra topic of conversation.

Besides, everyone's eyes are now on the treasure ship of the sea defense, so there is no need to worry about anything else.

Hao Fenglou arrived here early in the morning and felt strange about the disappearance of the Dashi merchant ship. After asking the strong men and sailors who were staying on the ship, they realized that they moved last night. Although they didn't know the other party's intentions, they were just guests after all. Even if they were leaving, could they still stop them?

After all, the court did not say anything like the big food fleet was not allowed to leave without permission. Therefore, although the sea defense fleet had known the movements for a long time last night, it did not react at all.

These coastal defense personnel, from captains to the lowest-level sailors, were recruited in coastal defense. After a certain amount of training, they came with the ship and suddenly arrived at the heart of the Ming Dynasty from the border. All they had was awe in their hearts. Who dared to make a rash easily?

Hao Fenglou frowned, still feeling something was wrong, knowing that Hu Lu must have escaped. In fact, Hao Fenglou originally planned to find an opportunity to make up this guy, but now he is afraid he can't do it.

I was ordered to welcome the emperor here, and I would not care about these minor matters at the moment, so I ordered all the helmsmen, sailors, and gunners to go ashore. Although these people in white dresses were dressed in short clothes, everyone had a turban wrapped around their heads and their clothes were the same. They were tightly tied around their waists, making them look very energetic.

They have all undergone some training and are usually extremely strict in management. Although they are hard on this boat, they not only have to be able to do anything but have good salary, but they have attracted many strong men and everyone flocked to them.

So these thousand sailors were all tall and burly, and all had black letters embroidered on their chests. They were divided into queues with flags, and they were all like javelins.

Hao Fenglou stood at the head of the team, wearing a new fish suit, solemn and solemn, pressing the handle of the knife at his waist without saying a word.

I originally expected to arrive on time at noon, but after waiting for a long time, I still couldn't see the sign of the saint.

Although the crew members had breakfast, they worked hard all morning and saw lunch, they immediately put their chests on their backs.

But Hao Fenglou was still motionless and no one dared to act rashly. At this time, the effect of his usual practice came out. Even though he was hungry and thirsty and was facing the vicious sun, no one showed any negligence. He still stood upright and stood upright.

"The Holy Driving is here..."

Finally, a start-up horse arrived, followed by a group of great Han generals. Zhu Di took the steps away from a distance and arrived here on foot with civil and military officials and envoys of the vassal states.

Zhu Di's face looked very gloomy, but when he arrived here and saw the big ship, his face became gentler after all. He tried his best not to bring his emotions to Hao Fenglou.

At the dock, thousands of crew members lined up into snakes, five people and one vertical, extending straight to the distance.

Zhu Di was attracted by these crew members with his hands behind his back, so he walked over. Hao Fenglou had already come out of the team and bowed with fists and said, "Be humble, Hao Fenglou, I have seen the Holy Lord, long live my emperor."

Zhu Di just raised his hand, his eyes still fell on the queue, and said, "Your dear, don't have to be too polite."

When he saw these crew members, he had a bit of aura of tigers and wolfs. Although he did not have enough murderous aura and did not crawl out of a sea of ​​blood, his vitality and agile shape like a javelin were enough to satisfy him. The crew members were like this, which shows that Hao Fenglou had put in effort.

So Zhu Di reluctantly smiled and said, "No, very good, a little bit."

Hao Fenglou did not have a smile on his face, but followed Zhu Di and reviewed the crew, and said behind him: "Your Majesty is in love."

Zhu Di's eyes were attracted by something again, and he couldn't help but stop and pointed to the black words on the chests of these white crew members and said: "Liaoning... What is this... Liaoning... I have never heard of it..."

"Uh..." Hao Fenglou was stunned. In fact, he originally wanted to name the ship with a province, but he suddenly realized that the Ming Dynasty did not have Liaoning.

It was indeed empiricism that killed people, but Hao Fenglou had to bite the bullet and explain: "Your Majesty, this Liaoning is the name of the ship. To show the distinction, all the crew members of the ship dared to embroider the ship on their clothes. This Liaoning is taken from Liaodong outside the pass. The so-called pacification of Liao Yongning means that Emperor Taizu recovered the rivers and mountains that year, and Your Majesty also attacked from Peiping, defeating the enemy in Liaodong and recovering the land east of the Liaohe River..."

Hao Fenglou spent time explaining that he was still very quick and wise. Zhu Di was involved in the battle against Liaodong back then, but now he can make things happen if he talks nonsense.

Hao Fenglou also added: "This is the name of this ship that symbolizes His Majesty's great military achievements. This Liaoning is the first ship of the future fleet..."

After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing without waiting for Hao Fenglou to talk nonsense, and nodded and said, "Oh, so that's it. You are too deeply thinking. What's the point of doing to search your heart? Why would you be more straightforward? It's better to call it Pingliao or Yongle?"

When Hao Fenglou heard this, he hurriedly said, "The Pingliao name is OK, but the Yongle name is absolutely inappropriate... Let's talk about it, it's taboo..."

Zhu Di's anger finally subsided a little, and he smiled and said, "It's better to call it Liaoning. This is not a big deal, it sounds quite pleasant."

Zhu Di's purpose was to come after all, so he only stayed here for a while and planned to board the ship.

With the order from the sailors, they boarded the ship first. Then a special "dragon boat" came to greet him. No matter how nice the "dragon boat" sounded, it was still a sampan, and Zhu Di didn't care. As for the civil and military officials and envoys behind him, there were naturally other small boats to greet him.

When we arrived at the bottom of the big ship, we hung it down, fixed the "dragon boat", and then slowly hung it up with people and boats.

However, Hao Fenglou did not take Zhu Di directly to the Liaoning ship, but first arrived at a not-so-conspicuous sea ship.

This sea ship is actually quite large, nearly 30 meters long. The scale of such a ship is close to that of the Dashi merchant ship, but compared with the Liaoning, it is a terrible witch.

Zhu Di's interest was obviously on the Liaoning, not this inconspicuous 'boat'. After boarding the deck, he couldn't help but say, "I came here to see the treasure ship, Hao Fenglou, why did you bring me here?"
