Chapter 501 Fragrant Hills Island

On the unknown island where the Huai'an Navy is located, it can be said that there are thunderous joy and morale explosion at this time.

'Zhu Zhen has never been highly feudal superstitious, but at this time everyone felt more and more that Bo Ye must be the reincarnation of the stars in the sky, because this plot is too similar to what he sang in opera.

Falling off a cliff, you can encounter magical secrets, or encounter a cave, you can pick up peerless weapons, such as magic guns.

He is much better than the former, Bo Ye is much better than them.

When Mr. Wang encountered a storm, he turned around and encountered a treasure island full of gold, silver and treasures.

With the life of my uncle, I am not much worse than the legendary God of Wealth Zhao Gongming.

Although we are all from a local gangster, it does not mean that we have not yearned for a rich life. We have also fantasized about these things when we brag in the countryside.

Even if I have never seen the authentic product, I have seen expensive alternatives.

In the early years, in order to make a fortune, I might not be able to afford a substitute after half a year of savings.

Substitutes are so expensive, how can this genuine product not be worth it?

As for scholars, let alone, you can see from a distance that you will know that these things are priceless.

But what about now?

The entire island, a forest that cannot be seen at the end, is full of these very valuable woods.

How much does it cost?

The craftsman in charge of repairing ships in the navy was the most excellent carpenter in the Yingtian system. Seeing the trees that were knocked down by Zhu Zhen and Sheng Yong, even the roots of their teeth were trembling, especially the branches that were cut down randomly, they were even more heartbroken.

"This is all real money! How can you just chop it down and throw it away?

It’s a waste of good things! Bo Ye, the reason why red sandalwood is precious is because it is difficult to become a ingredient and grows slowly. It takes hundreds of years for a red sandalwood tree to become a ingredient. Moreover, there is a saying that “Ninety-ten sandalwood is empty”, so adult red sandalwood is becoming more and more rare.

So don’t underestimate these branches. They are still good things that are hard to come by. They can easily polish some Buddhist beads, chopsticks, ornaments, and they can be sold at a high price!”

The branches and branches that were cut down and discarded in a mess made the carpenters feel that Bo Ye was definitely a "squandering gift". Only the old-fashioned hat would do such a nouveau riche! Zhu Zhen was not interested in this now. He first ordered a stone tablet to quickly erect a stone tablet and take over the title and righteousness first. Then he said to the marching secretary: "In the navigation log, I will record the discovery of this island in detail, indicating that this island is a land of nowhere. Our navy officers and soldiers were the first troops to set foot on this island, and erect the monument and erect the biography.

Remember, if there is no border, first take first serve, and from now on, this is the territory of Huai'an!"

He remembered the lessons of various coastal islands. This island may not always be under the rule of China, and may one day be stolen by others.

But if other countries take all the legal procedures, it will be an invasion. If you want to "fight" like the Japanese, you will not even have any evidence! If you live again, you will still leave such stupid flaws and leave trouble for your descendants. That would be a waste of life... The secretary's breathing is a little rapid, so how could he accidentally expand his territory?

Although this island is a little smaller, there are so many red sandalwood on the island, which is a wealthy island, and it will definitely be famous all over the world in the future! "Boye, I will write it immediately, but this island has no name. Should I choose a name? One is easy to write records, and the other is to show sovereignty. From then on, it will be our land of China! You are Boye and the highest officer, and you can only choose this name."

The truth is really good, but the soldiers around him all looked at the usually serious clerk with contempt.

Look at your usual seriousness, but you are so good at flattering... For this island, Zhu Zhen's name will be spread throughout history with the island's name.

This is much more effective than giving money to be a beauty directly! Naming is a must, but Zhu Zhen did not intend to take this honor alone: ​​"Let's go to a referendum later, and the officers of more than a hundred households will each give a name. One of the soldiers will be counted and one voted, and the one with the most votes will be the name of the island!"

All the soldiers were cheering and excited! For the vast majority of soldiers, being able to name an island, even if they were just involved, is definitely a memory and glory that would never be erased in this life! Zhu Zhen's proposal is of great benefit to enhancing the soldiers' sense of collective honor.

If it weren't for the large number of soldiers in the navy, he would have wanted to carve all the names of everyone directly on the stone tablet... Then, Zhu Zhen looked at the Arabs not far away and threatened with a cold face: "Remember, this place is the land of China. Don't be coveted, otherwise he would declare war with us!"

Arabs are also very jealous of the red sandalwood on the island. No matter how rich the family is, they cannot ignore such a huge amount of wealth.

But compared with the new firearms mastered by Huai'an, they can tell which one is more important. After all, no matter how much wealth is, it cannot be exchanged for victory in the war... Because the servant explained to Xiao Wuqi, Xiao Wuqi did not suffer from the second disease at this time, and expressed happily: "Full support Zhu Zhen's decision, admit that this island is a territory of Huai'an, and is willing to serve as a witness to prove it."

Zhu Zhen is very satisfied with the knowledge and tactility of the Arabs.

Next, the excited naval soldiers held a meeting to discuss the naming of the island.

But this is just a process, and most people think that Zhu Zhen is actually making a fuss.

You are the chief officer, and you have the final say on what your name is?

The final result is naturally based on Zhu Zhen’s proposal - Xiangshan Island.

The name was confirmed, and the navy divided more than a dozen warships that were damaged to varying degrees during the storm to be responsible for cutting down and transporting red sandalwood. After returning to Qu County, he recruited stonemasons and came to Xiangshan Island to carve stone tablets.

After a little rest, the remaining warships continued to set out onto the vast sea and headed for Annan.

On the warship, the bored Zhu Zhen ordered the craftsmen to take out a few branches that had been cut off at random, polish them into small pieces of wood, and make a military flag.

Of course, the commander must not be called the commander, he must be called the general.

The commander must be called the commander.

In the end, there were a lot of messes, thousands of households and hundreds of households. Zhu Zhen looked at the official title and felt his brain hurt, but these guys were having a lot of fun.

Navigating above the sea is very monotonous and depressing. Facing the vast ocean all day long is a cruel temper for people's spirit. People with fragile nerves may be so frustrated... At this time, Vietnam is still called Annan, and will be conquered by Zhu Di in the future and return to the embrace of China. It has an elegant name called Jiaozhi.

The fleet went south along the coastline. During this period, it caught more than a dozen local fishermen on the dock as guides. Then Zhu Zhen drew an area on the chart based on his memory and searched carefully.

Finally, seven or eight days later, I found a natural harbor.

That is, the later generations of Da Nang... The fleet sailed into the harbor, took a break, and then split into two.

Some of them were left here to build some simple facilities for the fleet to repair and supply, while the other was led by Zhu Wenchang and two naval officers. They continued to go south from Malacca to enter the Indian Ocean and headed all the way to Arab Medina... Zhu Wenchang was the son of the women brought by the Zhu family workshop and was also one of Zhu Zhen's many personal soldiers.

He has a steady and enterprising spirit.

He is one of the young talents Zhu Zhen focused on cultivating.

"Don't worry, don't worry about the Arabs urging you, remember that the main task of your mission this time is not to trade, but to train a fleet that can adapt to ocean navigation.

Walk slowly, learn while walking, and ask the Arabs for advice. When it comes to advanced technology of ships, they are not as good as us. But when it comes to experience in ocean navigation, we are not as good as them. Don’t be embarrassed, ask for advice humbly, and learn that it is art!”

Before leaving, Zhu Wenchang was moved when he listened to Zhu Zhen's tireless advice and teachings.

"Don't worry, Bo Ye, I know Bo Ye's ambition, and I will definitely learn all the way. In the future, I will become Bo Ye's minion, explore this vast sea for Bo Ye, devote my efforts to him, and die until he dies!"

Zhu Wenchang showed his loyalty, but was slapped in the back of the head by Zhu Zhen.

"What is a minion?

I am the great devil! Work hard, there will definitely be a place for you in the future history books! Remember, nothing is important, only people are the most important. No matter what happens, please bring these soldiers and crew back to Benbo alive!"

"promise!"

Zhu Wenchang replied loudly, full of passion and ambition! A year ago, he was a little beggar who was pouring around with his mother. Who would have thought that he would now become the commander of a fleet and set foot on a distance that the Han people had never reached before?

Zhu Wenchang was full of passion. He would definitely leave his name in history! He would definitely live up to his trust! He knew clearly where Zhu Zhen’s ambition was. In front of him, he had outlined the route from the Tang Dynasty to the east. There was a vast ocean! But Boye also said that there were countless dangers there, and stepping on it would be a life of death.

But behind the danger is a brand new world, an unprecedented land.

Where is the Han people’s national destiny for a thousand years... national destiny?

Even when Zhu Wenchang was dreaming, he never dreamed that he would one day have something to do with the word "national destiny".

Will the national destiny be in your own hands for a thousand years?

That is to die in that vast ocean, what's wrong?

I, Zhu Wenchang, put life and death aside for the sake of the Han people's national fortune the previous year. In Boye's words, regardless of success or failure, they will be the hero of this nation... Zhu Wenchang resolutely boarded the ship and began his long voyage to prepare for the future crossing of the ocean.

Zhu Zhen stood on the shore, staring at the white sails in the distance gradually disappeared between the sky and the sea, and felt a lot of passion in his heart! As long as he could reach America in the future, as long as he could have high-yield grains such as corn and sweet potatoes, and as long as he could obtain Chameng rice, the population of the Han people will usher in a super explosion, and the Han people's country will become a superpower that will make the world's striking!
