Chapter 711: Little Overlord of the Sea.

On this day, the sea breeze was gentle, and there was no longer the grandeur of the past.

Ye Xing and the others are finally going to return, and they can finally return to their homeland and hometown.

When the crew on the ship heard the news, they couldn't help but cheer, they had been away from home for too long, they missed their mother, they missed their wives at home, and they had children, I don't know if they knew him as a father when they went back this time.

Thousands of big ships set off from Guli's Haikou in a mighty way, although they returned this time, those countries along the way who wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, they also wanted to take them on a ride.

When passing through Ceylon, Zhao Xiaolong and his wife were already waiting at the beach early, Ye Xing promised Zhao Xiaolong to take them back to their hometown, and with Ye Xing and others as protection, the people who wanted to harm Zhao Xiaolong before they came didn't dare to do this idea anymore.

Returning home is a very happy thing, Ye Xing and they always have to stay for a few days every time they go to a country, which also gives them many opportunities to be nostalgic.

The boat continued to move forward, Zheng He and Ye Xing were bored on the boat, so everyone shouted for Zheng He to tell the interesting story he encountered when he first went to the West, and Zheng He saw that everyone insisted on doing so, so he had to tell them.

"The first time I went to the Western Ocean, although I knew a little, but it was also the most interesting, I remember the first time I returned home, when I passed through the Three Buddhas, I met a pirate, the pirate was still our Ming people, because of the crime, he fled to the Bolin State, and became the king, and then he led the people of that area to sit on the pirate business."

After listening to Zheng He's introduction, everyone's interest was immediately hooked, and everyone knew who the pirate was, he was Chen Zuyi, who was later captured alive by Zheng He to Jinling, and was beheaded by Emperor Zhu Di at noon.

Everyone shouted like this, and later Di Xiaojie overrode the public opinion and asked Zheng He to tell him how he captured Chen Zuyi alive.

And Zheng He was about to talk about this paragraph.

"At that time, Chen Zuyi was a small sea overlord in the Strait of Malacca, often robbed passing ships, and from time to time attacked nearby neighboring countries, and the nearby pirates saw Chen Zuyi so powerful, they also surrendered to him, many small countries in order to avoid being robbed, but also to Chen Zuyi bowed down, these news in my way through the Three Buddhas has been heard, so Chen Zuyi is very guarded, when we arrived at Chen Zuyi's domain, Chen Zuyi suddenly came to land, which made me and everyone very puzzled, and then after discussion, We think that Chen Zuyi is a pirate, and the emperor spent a lot of money to reward him, he is also dead, he Chen Zuyi is a smart person, how can he surrender knowing that he is dead, so we feel that Chen Zuyi is a fraudulent surrender, when we have this idea, we decided to plan it. ”

After Zheng He finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, everyone was looking forward to it, which made Zheng He even more excited, so he continued: "That day, Chen Zuyi brought a group of his brothers to surrender, and we didn't expose him, so we invited them on the ship, and entertained them with good wine and food, but when night came, our ship suddenly encountered a pirate fleet of 5,000 people, and they rushed into the center of our fleet on a rampage, wanting to join forces with Chen Zuyi and them to kill us by surprise, but we didn't know before the arrival of these fleetsIf it weren't for that group of pirates, I might really think that he was going to surrender, but with that group of pirates, we all understood, so we unceremoniously surrounded the 5,000 pirates and annihilated them all, so far, the Strait of Malacca is much calmer. ”

After Zheng He finished speaking, everyone still felt unsatisfied, because the story Zheng He told was too fast, and they hadn't listened to it yet, but Zheng He's story was like this, he couldn't tell everything the enemy thought.

At this time, Ye Xing glanced at the vast sea and said with a smile: "In another day, we will pass through the Strait of Malacca and Srivijaya again, I don't know if there will be pirates this time." ”

Zheng He heard Ye Xing say this, and smiled slightly: "At that time, all the pirates in that area were all wiped out by us, and there will be so many pirates there in a year or two, and our fleet has more than 20,000 people, it is definitely not these robbers who dare to provoke, then Chen Zuyi also has no brains, so he thinks of robbing our fleet." ”

Ye Xing heard Zheng He say this, and he also felt reasonable, a powerful fleet like them is definitely not something that these pirates can afford to provoke, and now their configuration can be said to be the overlord of the sea, then Chen Zuyi is called the little overlord of the sea, and when he meets Zheng He's fleet, it is not over.

The fleet marched mightily, and the night was getting deeper.

The moonlight tonight is not very good, but the sky is full of stars, and the night with stars always reminds people of nostalgia.

If you can lie down in the night of Jiangnan and enjoy the stars, then what a wonderful thing, in the end there are three or five friends, everyone sits on the roof and sings poetry, but it is also fun.

But at this time, Ye Xing and the others could only lie on the deck and look at the stars in the sky, and then think of the night in the south of the Yangtze River.

Is the night in Jiangnan as starry as this night?

The flotilla continued on for several days, and the weather was already late autumn.

In the late autumn world, the wind is unbearable, so everyone rarely goes to the deck to blow the wind, unless the sun is good on one day, they will also go to the deck to bask in the sun.

On this day, when their fleet passed through a place, they suddenly noticed that a small boat was sinking in front of them, and the people on board were desperately holding on to the corner of the boat to prevent themselves from falling into the water.

After Zheng He saw this scene, he hurriedly ordered the crew to drive the boat over to save people, but the crew did not dare to disobey, so they had to drive the boat over and fish up the man who was about to be drowned.

When the crew fished that person up, Zheng and the others found out that this person was actually their Da Ming person, and his service was the same as that of Ye Xing and the others, only a little shabby, and his skin was a little dark.

After the man was rescued, he felt better after spitting a few mouthfuls of water, but it was still difficult for him to get up when he lay on the deck, he covered the sun with his hands slightly, looked at Ye Xing and them with some gratitude and curiosity, but he didn't talk much for a while.

In view of this, Ye Xing ordered a few people to take him to the cabin to rest first, and then get him some food, and when his health was better, they would learn about this person's situation and how he drowned in this place.

After Ye Xing gave the order to go down, the two crew members quickly took the man down.
