My Daming New Empire

Page 378

Zhu Zhanji sat in the chaotic palace of the Royal Courtyard, surrounded by maids and eunuchs who were busy packing their luggage.

When Zhu Zhanji travels, moving his car is not as simple as lifting his butt.If you want to live in a certain place, you will send someone to take care of it half a month in advance. The utensils used, the furnishings in the house, and the decorations must all conform to the etiquette.

Now it's time to go, and everything has to be put back into boxes and moved out.If one thing is missing, the eunuch or court lady in charge will be hanged, and in serious cases, even his life will be lost.

Li Liang, who was in charge of sending Zhu Zhanji off, entered the hall. "Your Highness, the Director has already set sail."

Zhu Zhanji's leg moved a bit, and Qingmei, who was in charge of beating his leg, withdrew her hand in satisfaction. "Your Highness, I'm going back to pack my luggage first."

"Don't worry, we will leave tomorrow. Tell me, what did he say when he met Ha San?"

Li Liang had a good memory, and he recounted the conversation between Zheng He and Ha San for almost nine minutes.And the cadence and rhythm are vivid, which is much more interesting than reading the pencil words written on the paper.

After recounting the conversation between the two, Li Liang couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, the Director is still reliable."

"I want you to talk more..." Zhu Zhanji glared at him, and Li Liang shut up in fright.

Zhu Zhanji can also understand that Zheng He has now become the role model and idol of all eunuchs in Ming Dynasty.

From a young eunuch, he led his troops in the Jingnan Battle, and at the age of 32 became the commander-in-chief of the fleet sailing to the West.

Especially after being favored by Zhu Zhanji, he became the deputy commander of the Eastern Expedition to Dongying, and even became the director of the navy based on military merits, and was named Duke of Dian.

From a minister to a minister of the court, this step is not something that any eunuch can do, and the whole Ming Dynasty is the only one.Even in the entire history, before him, there were only three eunuchs who had achieved this step.

So he is not just him, he has become a symbol among the eunuchs.As long as he doesn't make a big mistake, Zhu Zhanji doesn't need him at most, and he can't do anything to him casually.

After all, Zhu Zhanji doesn't want to be a loner, and he can't do without the service and service of the eunuchs, so he can't cool the hearts of these eunuchs.

After listening to Li Liang's recounting of the situation, and carefully reading the conversation record recorded by the Counseling Department, Zhu Zhanji understood that this was Zheng He's indirect expression of loyalty.

Because what he said was not for Ha San, but for himself.

Some things are difficult for him to say in front of himself, but now he can show his loyalty to him through other people's retelling.

But these words can be regarded as open and honest, Zhu Zhanji is very satisfied.But he prefers to take another look to see if Zheng He walks the talk.

"Have the prisoners been loaded?"

"It's already loaded on the ship. When they were released from the prison, countless people smashed them with rotten eggs, and the people also have hearts for me, Daming!"

"That's not necessarily the case, that is, there are many Chinese in the Old Port. In other places, I'm afraid they have hated me long ago." Zhu Zhanji laughed: "But I'm not afraid, I don't need them to like me, I just need those foreigners to respect me, Fear me, fear me!"

Li Liang said with a smile: "Your maidservant will step down now. I will move today, and my maidservant will be busy with miscellaneous tasks, so I won't be idle for a moment."

"Go, I'll also go and see the two beauties that Shi Jinqing sent over."

Along the way, starting from Lusong, to Sulu country, to Boni country, except for Malaga, because of Zhu Zhanji's order to sinicize, which caused Bailimisula's confusion and did not send the beauty, and now he has accepted it. Six beauties from various countries.

There are black beauties from Southeast Asia, Persian beauties from the Western Regions, Arab beauties and a beauty from Greece.

But Zhu Zhanji is not impatient, and he is still being taught by Liu Chenghui.It will be interesting to enjoy it after training.

(I couldn’t sleep because of the toothache at night, and I wrote [-] words. I still have to go to the hospital for an injection today, check the status in the afternoon, and try my best to do another update.)

Thanks to Carmina, the lights see people, the bamboo sticks are rewarded, thank you for your support

Chapter 25 Star City

The newly built Star City of Ming Dynasty is not the original city center of Singapore, where it is still a swamp.

Today's Star City is mainly based on the area between the original Chinatown and the University of Singapore.That is, the Jurong Wharf and the industrial area, with Kent Ridge Park as the center to build a new city.

The barracks are mainly located at the southern foot of the hill, facing the bay. Artillery battalions have been set up on Sentosa Island, Wugong Island, and Kent Ridge Hill.

The artillery with a firing range of 2000 meters crosses each other and can basically cover the entire dock area.

On the west side of the pier, between the hills and the coastline, relying on the mountains, trees were cut down, and the rocks were leveled to form a viewing platform that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.Sitting on the hill, the audience can not only see the arena below the hill, but also directly watch the naval battle held in the bay.

Although it was just an athletic competition in the army, Zhu Zhanji made it a sport like the Olympics of later generations.

Of course, there are not as many competition items as later generations, and there are many military exercises and competitions.But the rules are basically the same as those of later generations.

Taking football as an example, this event was originally only a competition event of Zhu Zhanji's Habayashi School of Guards, but after Zhu Zhanji directly applied the rules of later generations, it quickly became popular in the entire Ming army.

From the very beginning, Zhu Zhanji set up the forwards, midfielders, and defenders, and set the rules and tactical requirements of the game.Like red and yellow cards, a maximum of six players can be replaced in each game, and the referee rules are all done in one step.

Even on the football field, Zhu Zhanji strictly limited the regular field.It must be Daming's 100 meters compared to 66 meters, which is almost a strict ratio of three to two.

The only thing that cannot be limited is the lawn problem, because it is too difficult to find a good grassland.

After the Habayashi Guard School was passed down, all armies have now applied various battlefield tactics to football matches.

This has also led to today's football games in Ming Dynasty. From the beginning, it is not the striker who is the most important, but the midfielder dispatched by the midfielder is more important.

It is nothing more than that according to the differences of each person, some midfielders are good at attacking and some are good at defending, which leads to the different styles of the team.

But there is one thing that even Zhu Zhanji can't do anything about, and that is the issue of court violence.

Today's competition involves the honor of the army that he is in, and the upper officials are suppressing it, which has doubled the pressure on the soldiers, that is, the players.

In particular, there are some young generals, and the children of Xungui also like this game. They like to bully others, and there are countless violent acts on the court.

But the more violent it is, the more people can be attracted to participate, and the more the audience will like it.Sometimes even in order to show their toughness, players have to fight to find faults on the court.

Even if you lose the game, as long as you win on the court, you will often be rewarded by the Shangguan.

Zhu Zhanji originally wanted to formulate a stricter system for management, but later he thought about it.He took out the football game mainly to cultivate the cooperation of the soldiers on the battlefield, and to cultivate the fighters' martial arts and competitive spirit.

As long as they don't kill anyone, let them go.

In later generations, football can become the world's largest sport, and in this era, it has been enthusiastically sought after.

Now, even many noble families in the capital have formed their own football teams.Before the new year of this year, there was a commercial football game in Beijing, which attracted countless people to spend money to watch and bet on it.

In addition to football, this competition also includes the category of track and field, ranging from sprint, long-distance running, to high jump, long jump, archery, shot put, hammer throw and other competitions.

Shot put and hammer put are mainly because of the stone grenade that Daming now has. These two events are far more valued than later generations.

The fighters in the competition must not only throw farther than whoever throws, but also throw more accurately than whoever throws.

But none of these events are as popular as individual sports.

Now there are only two categories of individual competitions, one is unrestricted fighting competitions, and the other is wrestling competitions.

Unlimited fighting competitions are different from those in the United States in later generations. This so-called unlimited fighting is actually limited. Many rules are similar to boxing, except that there is no restriction on kicking.

As for the wrestling competition, it is almost a mixture of judo and Mongolian wrestling, both of which are very capable of showing personal strength.
