Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 1357 Island Owner Liu Niang

After leaving Huludao, the fleet sailed slowly in the channel opened up in advance, and indeed sailed out of Liaodong Bay safely and entered the deep Bohai Sea.

When they arrived in the deep sea, there was no need to worry about ambushes. The fleet raised full sails and rode the strong northwest wind. It sailed out of Bohai Bay in one day and arrived at Jeonra Island the next day.

"Do you want to stop again?" Zhu Di did not get off the prison car even on the ship. He ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the car. It was not an exaggeration to say that he lived a life of misery. Naturally, he did not want to delay any longer.

"Don't worry." Zhu Zhen nodded and enlightened him: "Fourth brother, don't worry. If we go at full speed, we can reach Nanjing City in ten days, but the question is, are you willing to go back so early?"

"Uh..." Zhu Di's expression froze when he heard this, and he said embarrassedly: "Of course I don't want to."

The reason is simple. If he goes back too early, the army has not returned triumphantly, and there is no "New Year's Day" step to go down. Father is not wholeheartedly, and he will deal with him quickly?

Let's wait until the end of the year before returning to Beijing...

As they were talking, the fleet slowly docked at the Tamra Port facing the Goryeo Peninsula.

Although the latitude of Tamra Island is equivalent to that of the Shandong Peninsula, it has a subtropical climate because of the warm current passing through it. Although it snows when the cold current moves south, the winter is generally wet and warm.

Zhu Zhen and others couldn't wear their coats anymore, so they took off their heavy coats and felt relaxed all over.

The last time they came here was ten years ago. Zhu Di looked at the dock that was several times larger than before, the densely packed ships of all sizes in the dock, and the newly built port city next to the dock, and was surprised: "Isn't it too much of a change here?"

"It's mainly thanks to the court. In recent years, there has been a huge demand for cattle and horses. The scale of the ranch on the island has been expanding again and again. Every year, 20,000 cattle and about 50,000 horses can be shipped to the mainland!"

He smiled and said, "Many of our horses for the Northern Expedition were bred here."

"That's really hard work and great contribution." Zhu Di first exclaimed, then wondered: "No, I remember that we inspected the situation on the island ten years ago. The conclusion at that time was that at most 100,000 horses could be raised. How can we provide 50,000 horses a year?"

"Hahaha, then you have to ask our Tamra General." Zhu Zhen laughed and pointed to the crowd waiting on the dock for a long time.

Zhu Di looked closely and recognized Shen Liuniang, who was the center of attention.

"Sixth Mother?" Zhu Di was surprised: "Didn't she open the Jinlian Courtyard in Suzhou? Why did she come to Jeonra Island again?"

"Ahem." Zhu Zhen coughed and signaled his fourth brother to speak softly.

Shen Rong smiled gratefully and explained for the prince: "It's all thanks to the prince that our Shen family has returned to Suzhou."

"Then you won't let him stay in Suzhou?" Zhu Di asked.

"How could that be?" Shen Rong said embarrassedly, "On the contrary, our family all wanted to persuade Liu Niang to go back, but she just refused. Maybe too many people persuaded her, so she left."

"At that time, the position of Tamra's chief steward was vacant, and Liu Niang came to me and said she wanted to take over the job. There was no particularly suitable candidate, so I asked her to give it a try. Unexpectedly, she really made a name for herself. Tamra Island is also a harmonious place with good politics and people, and the number of livestock output is rising!" Zhu Zhen smiled and said to Shen Rong:

"I think your father's treasure pot has been passed on to your daughter."

"Yes." Shen Rong nodded and said, "Several sons are useless. I came back this time to let her go back to be the head of the family."

"Oh, you are competing with me for talent." Zhu Zhen teased, and Shen Rong said, "I dare not."

"Haha, I'm kidding you." Zhu Zhen smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Let Liu Niang make her own decision. Don't you understand after so long? What she needs most is respect."

"Yes." Shen Rong nodded hurriedly.

At the dock of Tamra Port

"Welcome, Your Highness!" Shen Liuniang led the crowd to kneel and welcome Zhu Zhen.

"Hahaha." Zhu Zhen laughed and came down the gangway: "Everyone stand up. Liuniang is still stunning."

"Your Highness will make fun of me as a minister. I am already over 30 years old and old." Shen Liuniang covered her mouth and laughed softly, full of charm.

"If we stand together, others will definitely think I am your brother." Zhu Zhen touched his rough face and smiled: "Now I am embarrassed to call you sister."

"Your Highness was blown like this by the wind and sand outside the Great Wall. He will recover in half a year." Shen Liuniang smiled and comforted him.

Zhu Zhen also greeted the people behind her. Some of them were officials stationed here by the Navy Office and the Imperial Household Department, and three were local natives.

Although he hadn't been here for ten years, he still called out their names accurately. One was Gao Tie's father, Gao Pingying, the leader of the Tamra natives. Another was the former Muhu leader Aletu, and another was Zheng Wen who served as their translator.

It was the three of them who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Boss Zhu gave the island of Tamra to Lao Liu as a territory, and they became officials of the Chuhaidian Palace.

Now the three of them are wearing black gauze, official robes, and court boots, with dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor, which is completely different from the savages in the past.

The three of them were grateful that the prince still remembered them. Zheng Wen said excitedly: "We are such despicable villains, and we are really guilty of your concern."

"You are all officials under me. If I don't remember you, I am a fool, right?" Zhu Zhen laughed and joked.

Gao Pingying hurriedly flattered him: "Your Majesty is really wise and has a far-sighted vision!"

"Hahaha!" Zhu Zhen didn't expect him to say such a thing, and couldn't help but said: "It's been three days since we left. I remember you couldn't speak a word of Chinese at the time."

"Now that we are the prince's subjects, we must work hard to learn to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters." Na'altu also smiled.

"Okay, this is the energy we need." Zhu Zhen praised: "You have done a good job in raising the horse this time, and I also ask for credit for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone was overjoyed.

"Please, Your Majesty, please move to the General Manager's Mansion." At this time, Shen Liuniang said softly: "I have prepared a little wine, and I want to welcome Your Majesty and his entourage. Is that okay?"

"Yes, of course." Zhu Zhen nodded and smiled: "When you come to Tamluo Island, you will follow Liu Niang's arrangements."

"Your Majesty, you are so proud of me." Shen Liu Niang happily opened the car door and respectfully invited His Majesty to get in the car.

The rest of the people also got on their own cars and headed to Tamluo City.

After all the big shots had left, Juejie at the dock slowly lifted the three prison cars onto the shore, and then pushed them towards Tamluo City by the personal guards.

Shen Liu Niang was so careful that she had already ordered people to set up curtains on both sides of the road to prevent others from peeking at Wang Jia, the sixth child. Of course, this was also to save the fourth child's face.
