Chapter 2323 Zhou Yu and Shang Shanshan, their second trip to the West
Chapter 2320: Zhou Yu and Shang Shanshan go to the West for the second time
[Dingdong, Ye Qingmei led the fleet to complete his first voyage to the West, becoming the first woman to arrive in India in the East, achieving two major achievements, "world connecter" and "women''s role model", and rewarding five-dimensional permanent +1 and charm +3.
Ye Qingmei is currently: Commander 50 (+16), Force 85 (+50), Intelligence 98 (+6), Politics 94 (+8), Charm 107 (+7)]
Ying Hao, who received the system prompt, took a deep breath when he looked at Ye Qingmei''s attributes again.
"Hiss... Ye Qingmei''s attributes have been improved so much."
If Ying Hao remembers correctly, Ye Qingmei, who had commander and force attributes before going to sea, was still 40 (+6) and 80 (+45).
After returning from a voyage, Ye Qingmei''s attributes were improved by as much as 24 points.
Is this Ye Qingmei, who is a time traveler, hasn’t her potential been discovered yet?
Or did this time I gave Ye Qingmei enough temper?
Or is it both?
[Dingdong, Qi Jiguang protected Ye Qingmei, completed his first voyage to the West, won many battles, and achieved the achievement of "Shocking the South China Sea", and rewarded five-dimensional permanent +1.
Qi Jiguang''s current five-dimensionality: Commander 98 (+1), Force 99 (+3), Intelligence 90 (+1), Politics 86 (+1), Charm 97 (+1). 】
[Dingdong, Qi Jiguang landed in Chu for the first time and captured the Jiaozhou capital of Chu, captured Liu Xian, the governor of Jiaozhou, and returned safely, becoming the first naval general of the Qin Dynasty to land in Chu, and rewarded the commander for permanent +1 and charm forever +1.
Qi Jiguang''s current five-dimensionality: Commander 99 (+2), Force 99 (+3), Intelligence 90 (+1), Politics 86 (+1), Charm 98 (+2). 】
The improvement of Qi Jiguang''s attributes is not as exaggerated as Ye Qingmei, but it is also amazing enough.
Ying Hao said in surprise when he saw this, "Qi Jiguang''s attributes have also been improved so much. It seems that this voyage is much more exciting than I expected.
After Qingmei and Qi Jiguang return to the court, they must let them talk to me carefully. ”
The fleet voyage to the West has arrived in the Beihai. It is estimated that Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang will return to the court at most half a month.
Qingbei, Beihai County, Beihai Water Village.
After more than a month of sailing, Ye Qingmei and his team finally returned to Qingbei.
When they learned that the mission of voyage to the West had returned, Qingzhou Governor Fan Zhongyan, Qingzhou Governor Su Lie, and Navy Governor Zhou Yu, led a group of civil and military officials in Qingzhou to welcome him. The scene was so grand.
Before Ye Qingmei returned, the fleet that had voyages to the West had returned two waves, both of which brought back huge wealth to the Qin Dynasty.
As the origin of the fleet, Qingbei naturally benefited a lot, and the development of the entire Qingbei has accelerated a lot.
For the current Daqin, whoever can bring wealth to the country for development is the master.
The fleet that was voyage to the West was now a chicken that could constantly lay golden eggs, which could continuously create wealth, so naturally it should be treated solemnly.
Princess Ying Xuewu, who is five months pregnant, is staring at the sea level with a thousand-mile mirror in her hand, but when she sees the fleet does not return for a long time, she feels a little drowsy.
Just as Ying Xuewu was about to close her eyes, she caught a shadow, jumped out of the sea level in the camera, and immediately became excited and said excitedly: "I''m back, Sister Qingmei is back."
Zhou Yu held his wife, took the Qianli Jing, looked closely and said with a smile: "I''m finally back, play music, welcome the mission to return."
Woo…
Thousands of musicians began to play festive music.
Under the music and the cheers of everyone, Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang''s treasure ship was the first to sail into Beihai Port.
"Sister Xuewu, long time no see."
After seeing Ying Xuewu in the port, Ye Qingmei smiled and ran over. She was originally going to hug her, but when she saw Ying Xuewu''s bulging belly, she immediately stopped and said in surprise: "Sister Xuewu, you are pregnant."
"Um."
Ying Xuewu nodded happily, looked at her husband around her lovingly, stroked her belly and smiled, "It''s been five months."
“It’s so good.”
Ye Qingmei surrounded Ying Xuewu, looking left and right, as if she was looking at some treasure.
Seeing this, Ying Xuewu smiled and said, "You will have it soon."
Ye Qingmei''s face suddenly turned red, then she pulled Zhou Yu aside and asked in a low voice: "Gongjin, you should handle the matter about that person."
"Who is that?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion.
"Who else can it be? Shang Shanshan."
Hearing Ye Qingmei say this name, Zhou Yu''s face suddenly changed. He quickly pulled Ye Qingmei further away and whispered: "Miss Qingmei, don''t talk nonsense. My monk and girl are innocent and nothing is happening."
Ye Qingmei hugged her chest with her hands and looked at Zhou Yu with a sneer: "Really? She is such a beautiful lady who is a slave and a maid by your side, and can''t even be driven away. Are you really not moved at all?"
Zhou Yu said without thinking, "I am not moved. I, Zhou Yu, are wholeheartedly devoted to my wife. There will be no other person in my heart except for my wife."
Seeing that Zhou Yu''s answer was so decisive, Ye Qingmei believed most of the time, but she was still worried about Shang Shanshan, so she asked again, "What about Shang Shanshan now?"
Ye Qingmei was inexplicably hostile to the woman Shang Shanshan.
Such a beautiful woman from a large family knew that Zhou Yu liked the Princess of the Qin Dynasty and was absolutely impossible between them, she completely gave up her dignity and used a shameless and even a waste of time to stay by Zhou Yu''s side as a slave and a maid.
If this were changed to other women, Ye Qingmei might admire her courage to pursue happiness, but for Shang Shanshan, Ye Qingmei always felt that her purpose was impure, but she couldn''t tell what was wrong.
"Since the princess became pregnant, I have let Miss Shang leave." Zhou Yu answered truthfully.
Ye Qingmei couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this. No matter what Shang Shanshan''s purpose was, she had been driven out of the prefecture now. It would be impossible for her to destroy the relationship between Zhou Yu and his wife, right?
However, out of caution, Ye Qingmei asked again: "You have not mentioned the military affairs news to Shang Shanshan, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu rolled his eyes: "Miss Qingmei, do you think Zhou is stupid? Regarding military affairs, even in front of his wife, Zhou would not mention it. How could he tell Miss Shang?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief, and the last hidden danger was gone.
What Ye Qingmei didn''t know was that Shanshan, no, was Uesugi Kenshin, who was hiding in the crowd and looking at her from afar.
"Ye Qingmei." Uesugi Kenshi gritted his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.
If it weren''t for this woman, she might have become Zhou Yu''s concubine, and it would be easier to find out the information about Daqin in this way.
The Japanese pirates who were detained by the border were completely wiped out by the Qin army. In order to prevent the identity from being exposed, Kenshin Uesugi pretended to be rescued by Zhou Yu. Then he pretended to be with Zhou Yu as a maid on the grounds of repaying his kindness. In fact, it was to find out the secrets of the Qin army, such as the Qin army''s shipbuilding technology.
Like the spies from Chu State, although Kenshin Uesugi gained something, he was just fragmented information and had not found complete information.
Just when she was extremely disappointed and was not ready to continue wasting her time and was about to return to Japan, she found that the Qin Dynasty had carried out a large-scale secret shipbuilding plan.
Although she didn''t know the specific scale of the shipbuilding, she knew that the scale of expansion was definitely not small, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have been busy getting up early and going to bed late every day.
The Qin Dynasty is located in the north and does not need so many naval troops, but it has built so many warships. So who do you want to deal with?
The north has only two naval forces, namely Dongying and Wang Mang.
Although Kenno Uesugi did not know whether the Qin Dynasty''s goal was Japan, just in case, she decided to stay first and go back after finding out the specific purpose of the Qin Dynasty.
Kenshin Uesugi''s plan is to become Zhou Yu''s concubine first. After all, as a maid, it is too difficult to find information from Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu is a gentleman and has someone he loves, so he has never done anything wrong to her, a great beauty.
Therefore, if you want to climb onto this man''s bed, you must use some special means, such as: drugging.
Zhou Yu is the kind of man in charge. If he gets his first time, he will definitely be responsible for himself.
Although Japanese people generally do not value chastity, Kenshin Uesugi has never been able to do so. If she throws away her first time in this dirty way, she will naturally resist it.
It took her a long time to make up her mind. After all, compared with the safety of the country in Japan, her personal chastity is insignificant.
Originally, Kenshin Uesugi''s plan was perfect, but it was destroyed due to the arrival of a person, and this person was Ye Qingmei.
Kenshi Uesugi was sure that he had not had any guilt, Ye Qingmei, but this woman had been on guard against her since she saw her for the first time and even said a lot of bad things about Zhou Yu.
I don’t know if it was influenced by Ye Qingmei, but Kenshi Uesugi felt that Zhou Yu became much distant from her after that, so she had no chance to attack.
It is precisely because of this that after Zhou Yu proposed to let her leave, Kenshino Uesugi would leave the Zhou Mansion. After all, Zhou Yu had already taken precautions against her. Even if she continued to stay, she would only waste time and might even get herself in.
After leaving Zhou Mansion, Kenshi Uesugi did not return to Japan, but stayed in Qingzhou to continue inquiring about information.
She had a bad premonition in her heart that the reason why Daqin built ships on a large scale might be that he really wanted to take revenge on Japan.
Two days later, Ye Qingmei, Qi Jiguang and other heroes who voyage to the West, as well as the princes of Ruan Yue and other countries, went to Luoyang with the joy of the civil and military officials in Qingzhou.
Zhou Yu looked at Qi Jiguang''s leaving back and felt that the pressure on his body was getting heavier.
After learning about this trip to the West, Zhou Yu realized that Qi Jiguang, a subordinate who was not usually visible, was so awesome in both water and land battles.
Zhou Yu has fully understood the many major battles of the mission to the West. Even if he took action personally, he would probably be at this level and would not be better than Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang made such a great contribution, and his return to the court this time will definitely be highly rewarded by His Majesty, and his status in the Qin Navy will be greatly improved, even to the extent that he can challenge him as the commander-in-chief.
As soon as he thought about this, Zhou Yu felt that it was very difficult for him to be the chief commander.
Although he has made contributions, his contributions are only enough to be in the position of the Grand Commander of the Navy. If he wants to sit firmly, he must make greater contributions.
Therefore, all his men were restless. Whether it was Qi Jiguang or Han Shizhong, they wanted to challenge or even replace him.
"But you won''t have this opportunity. This time, the Japanese enlistment is the opportunity for this governor to completely open up the gap with you." Zhou Yu said confidently.
Zhou Yu has been preparing for a year and is well aware of the current combat power of the Qingzhou naval army. It is absolutely no problem to deal with the Japanese naval army.
Although the imperial court has not announced the election of the Japanese general, and even the candidate for the election of the Japanese general, Zhou Yu felt that the candidate for the election of the Japanese general this time was his own.
Before attacking the Japanese island, the navy was the absolute main force. Even if it attacked the Japanese island later, the importance of the navy was self-evident.
Therefore, as the chief commander-in-chief of the navy, he is naturally the only candidate for the chief general.
Every time I think of this, Zhou Yu is more and more looking forward to it and wants to show his skills in Japan.
On March 1, in the second year of Shenwu, Ye Qingmei and his party returned to Luoyang and accepted the enthronement during the morning court.
“…Annan, Ruan, Yue and other eight countries have taken the initiative to join our Qin…
The emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: I conferred Ruan Feiying as Marquis of Ruan, and Li Gongyun as Marquis of Yue... I gave him seals, ordered him to enfeoff the country overseas, and rewarded hundreds of jars of imperial wine and a thousand pieces of Qin broth... I told the world that all the people heard about it. ”
After Cao Zhengchun read the enthronement edict, Ruan Yue and other princes of the eight countries were overjoyed and kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, long live my emperor, and the Qin Dynasty will last for thousands of years."
Ying Hao did not confer the title of kingdoms such as Ruan Yue. After all, Annan''s power was still too weak. Li Tang did not receive the title of king even if he surrendered. What about the title of kingdoms and Yue?
The princes of Ruan Yue and other countries obviously knew this, so they had no hope at the beginning that the Qin Dynasty would grant them kings, and it would be good to be named Marquis.
After the princes of the eight countries such as Ruan Yue finished thanking, they ordered people to present tributes to the tribute, including some rare gold, silver and jewelry, as well as some rare items.
The ministers of the Qin Dynasty were extremely surprised to see this, and they did not expect that the barbarians would be so rich.
Ying Hao was very satisfied with these tributes. If the Annan countries had such a tribute in the past year, it would be a significant income for the Qin Dynasty.
After the princes of Ruan Yue and other countries withdrew from the ceremony, Cao Zhengchun began to read out the enthronement of Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang.
"I confer Ye Qingmei as a marquis of women, and I admire a phoenix crown, ten gold beads, five thousand taels of gold, and ten thousand taels of silver..."
"I named Qi Jiguang the Marquis of Jinghai, and admired a pair of dragon scales and precious armor, ten horses, five thousand taels of gold, nine thousand silver..."
Ye Qingmei and Qi Jiguang knelt down together and saluted, "Thank you Your Majesty for the reward."
Ying Hao stretched out his hand to help him and smiled and said, "You two beloved ministers don''t have to be so polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The income from the commercial income of this voyage to the West alone accounts for as much as 50% of our total annual income in the Qin Dynasty, which shows that the huge profits in the sea trade are not allowed to give up anyway, and the second voyage to the West must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
As he said that, Ying Hao looked at Ye Qingmei below and asked, "Ye Aiqing, who do you think is more suitable for the candidate for the second time to voyage to the West?"
