The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 424 Shen Le: Zheng He looks like this? Are you kidding me?!

A large group of people came.

However, it was not as Shen Le expected, with a majestic and murderous aura, and with full hands, full equipment and full status.

Large and small, dozens of them - maybe nearly a hundred? The towering warships rushed over from the sea, with smoke and fire, and the sound of killing.

In addition to the fleet flying the golden "Ming" flag, there were also some strange-shaped ships that were obviously different from the Ming warships. They approached closely and heard bursts of killing sounds.

Most of them were small boats, sticking to the elephant-like ship like a pack of wolves, harassing, shooting arrows, throwing hooks, and setting fires;

However, there were also some ships that were about the same size as the smaller warships in the Ming fleet. They stuck to the side of the warships, boarded them, hacked them, hit them with poles, and threw stones with some kind of equipment...

In short, in a one-on-one fight, the two sides were able to fight back and forth.

However, when the huge treasure ship rode the wind and waves and rolled over, the small warships that rushed up were shattered like eggs hitting a boulder!

"This is the big ship crushing the small ship!"

Shen Le was so excited. When Zheng He sailed to the West, the treasure ships that represented the peak productivity of the Ming Dynasty completely crushed Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and even East Africa.
Unfortunately, the stupid civil servant had a lot of nonsense in his head. Not only did he push for a sea ban, he also burned the treasure ship's construction materials and nautical charts.

In the end, the entire heritage was broken. When foreign warships came in full force, we closed our country to the outside world, couldn’t build big ships, and could only take the beating!

The fleet broke through the attacking and harassing enemy ships, spread its sails, and headed straight for the harbor. The attack on Liu Baihu's ship had stopped at some point, and the small boats fled to the shore in a panic.

Shen Le breathed a sigh of relief, watching the fleet slowly slow down and stop at the port;

Watching Captain Liu directing everyone on board to treat the wounded and count the losses, watching him sending people to wave flags and blow trumpets to communicate with the main ship;

Watching him take a small boat to the Juzhong treasure ship, report the situation and ask for instructions...

Am I going to meet Zheng He?!
Shen Le was excited. Zheng He! Zheng He! A famous person in history books!

I’ve restored so many old objects, witnessed so much history, and finally, I saw a celebrity!

He found that he could finally move, or rather, he could finally leave the ship and wander around the entire fleet.

Following closely behind Captain Liu, the big ship changed to a sampan, and the treasure ship was on the sampan. As they rowed closer and closer, Shen Le raised his head higher and higher:
You may not think so when you read the information, but when you observe it in person, especially when you sit on a small sampan and row towards the treasure ship, you really think it is too big!

Looking up from the small sampan, it feels like it is at least three or five stories high. Looking left and right, the hull extending on the sea is as majestic as a city wall!

It was not easy to get on such a large ship. A ladder was hung from the side of the ship. Captain Liu adjusted his belt, spat into his palm, and climbed up with all his strength.

Shen Le tried to activate the flying talisman several times, but failed every time, so he had no choice but to follow behind.

I climbed up the side of the ship and entered the cabin. At first glance, I saw a man standing in front of the map, waving his arms:

He was half a head taller than the civil servant next to him. He wore a golden dragon robe and a bright red cloak. He looked dignified and imposing, and intimidating without even getting angry.

The cabin was full of civil and military officials, all respectful, listening to his instructions. Captain Liu stepped into the cabin, shrank back, and quickly stood at the end of the line, waiting to be called.

Shen Le was intimidated by his aura and subconsciously looked around, trying to find where Zheng He was. After searching for a while, he found that this red-robed man seemed to have no beard...

What does Zheng He look like?
Are you kidding me?! He is a eunuch! A eunuch!

How could a eunuch who had been castrated since childhood and entered the palace with a severe lack of testosterone during the development of his secondary sexual characteristics grow so tall and have such a strong aura?

Pick any popular young actors in the domestic entertainment industry and none of them can match his masculinity!
Shen Le rubbed his eyes, patted his ears, and pricked up his ears to listen to the other person. After a while, he confirmed sadly:
Yes, this is Zheng He. Alas, as expected, ordinary people like us are not as good as the big guys. Just in terms of momentum, we are suppressed to the point of not knowing where...

He listened patiently for a moment, and then heard Captain Liu come forward to report that the ship was blown away by a storm, and it came to the harbor for shelter and repairs, and was attacked by the locals. Zheng He nodded and said:

"I see. - We went ashore to present the local king with colored coins, but we happened to encounter the fake king Suganla who murdered the king and usurped the throne, so we didn't give him the gift.

The false king was so bold that he was angry at the court for not giving him rewards, so he dared to lead an army to intercept the fleet. "

Ah...what?
Did this happen when Zheng He sailed to the West?
Shen Le turned his head to look outside the cabin, which was dusty and looked more like a port of thatched huts than bungalows. Then he looked at the majestic fleet of treasure ships and didn't understand where the courage of that local king came from.

Give you face, the court confers a title on you and calls you a local king;
Without giving you face and without formal enthronement, is the territory you occupy and the population under your jurisdiction enough for a county?
We don’t even need to calculate the gross national product. If we take productivity into account, it won’t even be enough for a county. Maybe it’s just a township!

Just like that, we are going to provoke Zheng He's treasure fleet on his voyage to the West?

Do you really think that the people in the fleet are all good people and won’t crush you directly?
"So...what should we do next?"

"There is only one outcome for offending the imperial court!" Zheng He waved his hand and pointed outside the cabin without hesitation:
"Plow the fields and clear the holes, capture the chieftain, establish a new king for Sumatra, and restore order!"

At the command, the army moved. They landed, attacked, and called on the soldiers who were loyal to the local former king to fight against the false king together.

It was a thrilling battle, in which the enemy was chased all the way from Sumatra to Namboli, and the fake king Sugandala was captured alive.

After the war, they looked for a place to repair the ship. All the local precious wood was used without reservation to repair the bottom of the ship and the cabin partitions.

Shen Le was so excited that his blood boiled and his eyes were opened:

"That's how it should be! That's how it should be! Such a small indigenous country, if it dares to jump, it should be destroyed!"

After the repairs, the fleet continued to move forward, bypassing the Arabian Peninsula, reaching East Africa, and then returning home.

The captured fake king was surrendered to the fleet. Then...

Then he was handed over to the Ministry of Justice, sentenced to high treason and executed according to the law...

For a fake king who usurped the throne and killed the king of a small country, such an end is quite beautiful like "the police station issued a wanted order, the border transferred the case, the procuratorate prosecuted, and the court made a judgment."

As for the ships, all of them were dumped at the Longjiang Shipyard in Nanjing and several small shipyards nearby.

Repair what needs to be repaired, mend what needs to be mended, dismantle what needs to be dismantled——

"Hey, don't tear down my boat!"

　Volume 168 of the Veritable Records of Emperor Xiaowen of the Ming Dynasty: (September of the 13th year of Yongle) Renyin○ King Zainuli Abidin of Sumatra sent his prince Lachaganayin and others to pay tribute. Eunuch Zheng He presented the captured Sumatra bandit leader Suganla [Suganla: in the original version, Gan is written as Wo, the same below.] In the Ming History of Sumatra, it is written as Gan. When Zheng He was sent as an envoy to Sumatra, he gave its king Zainuli Abidin colored coins and other things. Suganla was the brother of the former false king. He planned to kill Zainuli Abidin [Zanuli Abidin: in the old version, the word "nu" is written as "li".] to seize his throne and was angry that the envoy's gift was not enough. He led tens of thousands of troops to attack and kill the official army. Zheng He led his people and his country's troops to fight. Suganla was defeated and fled to the country of Nan (氵享力) [Chased to the country of Nan (氵享力) Li: Guangben Baoben (氵享力) is written as Bo, that is. 】They also took their wives and children as captives and brought them back to the imperial court. The Minister of War Fang Bin said that Su Ganla was guilty of treason and should be brought to justice. He then ordered the Ministry of Justice to execute him according to the law and ordered the Ministry of War to record the military merits of the officers and soldiers. Then, Tang Jing, the commander of the Right Guard of the Navy, Wang Heng, the deputy commander of the Left Guard of the Imperial Guard [Annotation note: the Left of the Imperial Guard of the Imperial Guard is written as Right in Guangben.] The commander of the officers Lin Zixuan, the deputy commander of the Left Guard of Longjiang, Hu Hou [Annotation note: Hu Hou: in Guangben and Baoben, it is written as Jun, which is correct.] The commander of the officers of the Kuanhe Guard, Ha Zhi, were all ordered to be promoted to the deputy commander of the officers. The rest of the thousand-household officers of the Banner Army, Wang Fuheng [Annotation note: Wang Fuheng: in Baoben, Heng is written as Xiang, which is suspected to be wrong.] More than 140 people were promoted and used differently.
