Chapter 407 Ryukyu Islands
Xiaoyao Island, this is very important news.

"It's not too late, let's go to Xiaoyao Island!" Chen Feng saw hope.

Lu Daoling said solemnly: "First of all, we don't have a ship that can go out to the open sea. Secondly, no one knows about Xiaoyao Island. Even those who have gone to Xiaoyao Island have never returned. Some people say that those people were He stayed on Xiaoyao Island, and some people said he died at sea. Anyway, no one alive has ever been to Xiaoyao Island. Only the people on Xiaoyao Island will come to the land for activities."

"Xiaoyao Island, Xiaoyao School, are they really so mysterious..." Chen Feng muttered to himself.The matter of the ships is easy to solve. The imperial court has a lot of large ships that can sail, but without a clear target location, it is difficult to do anything after going to sea.

"No matter what, we have to give it a try. Gang Leader Lu, please take my trustworthy brother from the Beggar Clan and go to Nanjing's Xinjiangkou Base to visit the navy and ask them to bring over an ocean-going treasure ship!" "Chen Feng suggested.It's not that he didn't want to go by himself, but that he couldn't take it anymore after traveling for days.Unable to use his internal strength, and the injury to his heart is gradually relieving, and now he is worse than ordinary people.

It is indeed possible to walk around like an ordinary person, but after running around on the horse for three days and three nights, even ordinary people can't bear it. Chen Feng endured the pain in his heart to survive. Now he must rest well to deal with the next sea Life.

Lu Daoling sent the masters at the helm of Huai'an to go to Nanjing. The distance was not far, and in less than half a day, he saw five mighty ships coming from the sea.

"I only said I wanted one boat, why are there so many here..." Chen Feng couldn't laugh or cry.He also knew the answer in his heart. The navy's move was to show his allegiance to Zhu Gaochi.

When the first emperor was alive, it was rumored that the army supported Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu more.Now that Zhu Gaochi has ascended the throne, the people in the army are afraid of being implicated and dealt with.

Chen Feng has a gold medal given by Zhu Gaochi, and it is a unique gold medal. He can almost represent Zhu Gaochi's will. How can the people of the Great Ming Navy not flatter?
Lu Daoling knew a little about the Daming Navy. He introduced: "The biggest ship in the middle is an ocean-going treasure ship, and the other ones are two patrol ships and two warships. This configuration is enough to deal with the intrusion of pirates!"

Five ships approached the shore, and a majestic general came down in person.

"Navy Admiral Zheng Hai has met the Prince Consort!" The general bowed respectfully, and other navy generals also knelt down and saluted.

Among the navy of the Ming Dynasty, the number of naval admirals can be said to be less than that of one person and more than ten thousand people. There are only about a dozen navy admirals in the entire Ming Dynasty. They can command a fleet to fight.

Zheng Hai came in person, and the Nanjing Navy fully demonstrated his sincerity.

"My son-in-law, please come aboard!" Zheng Hai invited.

Chen Feng, Lu Daoling and Dugu Huang boarded the ocean-going treasure ship. The ship was large and the cabin was relatively luxurious. It seemed that it had been deliberately decorated just to welcome Chen Feng.Although the destination is Xiaoyao Island near the Ryukyu Islands and the journey is not far, Zheng Hai arranged it thoughtfully.

Not to mention the delicious food and wine, but also specially brought two maids, both of whom are good-looking, and can swim, and have accompanied some bureaucrats to the sea, at least they will not get seasick.

Zheng Hai placed tables and chairs at the bow, respectfully asked Chen Feng to sit down, and asked the two maids to serve quickly.

This made Chen Feng uncomfortable, and Zheng Hai's words later made Chen Feng's impression of him drop to the bottom.

"My son-in-law, Eunuch Zheng and I are still in the same family. You must speak kindly for me after you return to Beijing."

The relationship between Zheng Hai and Zheng He has yet to be verified. He has already become admiral of the navy, but he still wants to climb up and flatter Chen Feng, which makes Chen Feng feel ashamed of him.The key thing is that he did not mention the naval fleet, but for himself. How could such a person be worthy of commanding a fleet?
What Chen Feng didn't understand was that the Daming Marine Division seemed majestic, but its daily training was more tiring than the local army.The Beijing officials are much more comfortable and treated better. It is only natural for Zheng Hai to want to be transferred from the navy.But his blatant flattery, as a naval officer, failed to perform his duties well, is simply a disgrace to the court.

A soldier should look like a soldier. If you make contributions on the battlefield, the imperial court will naturally reward and promote you, instead of relying on those small tricks to get through the back door.

Chen Feng simply ignored Zheng Hai, but Zheng Hai knew how to read his words, knowing that Chen Feng didn't like to listen to compliments, so he stopped flattering, and just let the maid continue to serve Chen Feng.

As soon as Zheng Hai left, Dugu Huang complained: "I just can't understand the faces of the people in the court. As a general, he doesn't know how to train his subordinates to protect the family and defend the country, and only thinks about his own official fortune. Such a person is not worthy at all." Be an official!"

Chen Feng nodded and said: "Uncle Huang is right, after I return to Beijing, I will definitely tell Brother Huang and ask him to investigate Zheng Hai."

If Zheng Hai has some real skills, that's fine. If he doesn't have any skills, and he becomes an admiral by relying on all the way, such a person should be dealt with as soon as possible.

The five ships continued to sail, and the two patrol boats distanced themselves. One was spying ahead, and the other was guarding the surroundings.

The patrol boats in the front will come to report information from time to time, and wave the pennant as a code word, and the road is calm and calm.

When it was almost night, the ship had already reached the range of the Ryukyu Islands.

Zheng Hai ran over in a hurry: "My son-in-law, it's getting late, and it's very inconvenient to sail, and we can't find that Xiaoyao Island. Even if we encounter it, I probably won't be able to see it clearly. It's better to stay on the shore first, and wait until tomorrow." Search carefully."

His suggestion was correct. Anyway, we were very close to the Ryukyu Islands, so we might as well go ashore and stay for one night.

The Ryukyu Islands were originally divided into three countries, namely Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei. However, a few years ago, Shanbei was conquered by Shang Bazhi, the son of Zhongshan at that time.Now Shang Bazhi has become the king of Zhongshan, and the country is strong. Although Shannan is still alive, it will only be a matter of time.

Regardless of the situation in the Ryukyu Islands, all countries on the islands have always surrendered to Ming Dynasty.Chen Feng's five ships had Ming flags flying, and before they landed, the islanders on the shore began to kowtow.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Zheng Hai said proudly, "Master Chen, please look, these small countries and widowed people are all subordinates of my Ming Dynasty, let's live in the palace of Zhongshan Kingdom today!"

From time to time, he shows a little evil smile, which is annoying no matter how you look at it.

Five ships docked, and Zheng Hai led Chen Feng, Lu Daoling, and Dugu Huang off the ship, followed by thirty navy soldiers.

As soon as a few people got off the shore, a group of people galloped quickly from afar.

"The people from Nakiren Castle are here. The place where we dock is the closest to Nakiren Castle. I am very familiar with the city owner here, so let me negotiate." Zheng Hai volunteered.

As the team of about a hundred people approached, a man dressed as a nobleman ran up to him in fear: "It turns out that the Ming Dynasty envoy has arrived. I'm afraid Nidu has seen Admiral Zheng!"

Unexpectedly, the people here really knew Zheng Hai, seeing their frightened looks, it seems that Zheng Hai must often come here to do his best.

Zheng Hai was busy introducing Chen Feng: "Chen Feng, this guy is Pannidu, the lord of Ngui Nhon City. Pannidu, the person next to me is a relative of the emperor, the person the emperor relies on most, Chen Feng, Chen Feng It's him!"

"I'm afraid that Nidu has met Chen's son-in-law!" I am afraid that Nidu bowed respectfully again.

Chen Feng waved him to get up, what Chen Feng was thinking at the moment was that apart from the Central Plains martial arts, the level of martial arts in other places was unknown.There are masters in the Western Regions, and there are more or less masters in Japan, so what about the Ryukyu Islands?

Regardless of whether there are masters or not, Chen Feng's current goal is to go to Xiaoyao Island, and he really doesn't want to have too much contact with Ryukyu people.

But Zheng Hai didn't think so, it was rare to show something in front of Chen Feng, of course he had to be thoughtful.

"Fanidu, the admiral originally wanted to go to Shuri Castle, but it was already getting late, and the journey is too far and inconvenient. Why don't you just go to your Nakijin Castle and stay overnight."

Shuri Castle is the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom, and it is indeed quite far from where everyone docks.

Fanido's face was pale, but he still nodded in cooperation, he didn't dare to complain at all.

No matter how you look at it, you feel that Zheng Hai is going to harm Nakiren City. Chen Feng doesn't want to get involved, and he doesn't bother to stop it, because the overseas people have no intention of conquering Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is still strong today, they can only Just obediently surrender.

"Let's rest on the shore tonight." Chen Feng suggested...
