Chapter 345 Ocean

The sun was shining outside the window. Li Jie and Zhu Yuning sat side by side in front of the window, looking at the letters sent by Zhu Di seriously. Zhu Yuning's slightly round little face had a faint smile on her face. When she read interesting places, she could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.

In contrast, Li Jie looked at the letter in his hand with a serious expression, and his left hand unconsciously stroked the soft beard on his lips. He was considering whether to grow a beard recently. There is no way. Men in this era are proud of beards, and even women's aesthetics are affected by beards. Even if a man is ugly, if he has a beautiful beard, it can add a lot of points to him.

Through Zhu Di's letter, Li Jie also learned about his many experiences in Japan. What surprised him the most was that Zhu Di actually sent Li Fangyuan to the fleet exploring America, which he never expected.

Think about Li Fangyuan in history, he was Taizong in North Korea. This guy put his father Li Chenggui under house arrest and seized the throne himself. The title of Taizong was obviously intended to be compared with Li Shimin. However, this guy's experience is really a bit similar to Li Shimin. They are all ruthless people who kill their brothers and prisoners their fathers. Of course, his talents are much worse than Li Shimin.

It is also worth mentioning that Li Fangyuan's son is the famous Sejong in North Korean history, which is known as Sejong King as later generations. The avatar of this guy was printed on the 10,000 yuan banknotes in South Korea. However, now that Li Fangyuan has fallen to this point, he may even die at the sea or in the Americas. It is estimated that the Sejong King in South Korea will not have the chance to be born.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Is there any bad news in the fourth uncle's letter?" Zhu Yuning found that Li Jie's face was different, so he asked with concern.

"No, it's just that the fourth uncle's courage is really beyond my imagination. He actually arranged his enemy into a fleet to explore America. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such great courage!" Li Jie woke up immediately after hearing this, and immediately explained with a smile, and then explained Li Fangyuan's identity to Zhu Yuning.

"So that's it, but I think it's normal for Uncle Fourth to do such a thing. After all, Grandpa and father both said that Uncle Fourth has been extremely courageous since childhood and has a very decisive personality. As long as he is at a loss, he dares to try something, let alone just use an enemy who has surrendered!" Zhu Yuning smiled calmly.

After hearing this, Li Jie nodded in agreement. Indeed, not to mention Zhu Di's ability, his courage can definitely rank among the top few emperors of all dynasties. After all, if he uses a city to fight against a country, even if he is forced, only Zhu Di dares to do it. For example, when other princes face the reduction of the vassal state, they either commit suicide or beg for mercy. Only Zhu Di dares to raise an army to resist.

"By the way, has the fleet exploring America set out? If everything goes well, when will it be possible to arrive in America?" Zhu Yuning asked again with interest. She often heard Li Jie mention America, and knew that there were many things that the Ming Dynasty needed there, such as the chili that Li Jie often talked about when cooking, which is a specialty of the Americas.

"The fourth uncle said he had already set off in his letter. He probably had already left the east coast of Japan now. If everything went well, he might be able to arrive in one or two months, but if there was any accident, he might... he would never be able to arrive." Li Jie's tone became a little heavy at the end. The reason why he had not explored the Americas was because the risks were too great.

"Husband, don't worry. Since the Fourth Uncle and the Old General Zhang dare to send people to sea, they should be sure, not to mention that people always need to do something like this. Sometimes it is inevitable to sacrifice some manpower, just like fighting a war." Zhu Yuning also comforted again.

"I understand, you don't have to worry about Yuning!" Li Jie smiled again at this time. He was not so fragile, so he quickly smiled again. "The fourth uncle also said in the letter that when the fleet left, he took away a batch of carrier pigeons. If they could survive, they might be able to bring the news of the fleet back to the fourth uncle in the future, so that we can learn about the situation of the fleet at sea."

"Raising pigeons on the boat? The fourth uncle really has his own ideas." Zhu Yuning said in surprise when he heard this.

"The boat can not only raise pigeons, but also sheep, mainly ewes, which can drink goat milk and kill and eat meat. After all, although people have fish to eat at sea, eating fish will make people unable to bear it. Sometimes they also need to improve their food." Li Jie smiled again.

Of course, there are actually not many living animals on the ship. The meat needed is mainly cured bacon. As for fresh meat, it is only available for the upper class of the fleet, or it is used to reward those who have made contributions.

"Husband, since you are free today, why don't you tell me more about the sea? Maybe we can sail to the sea in the future?" Zhu Yuning also spoke with great interest.

"No problem, then I will start with the Pacific Ocean they have to pass to the Americas. Speaking of the Pacific Ocean, although its name contains the word "Peace", it is actually not peaceful at all. There are often violent storms on the sea. Not to mention people, you can even scrape smaller ships into the sky..."

Li Jie told Zhu Yuning in detail about his understanding of the ocean, and not only talked about the dangers at the sea, but also about the scenery at the sea. For example, in Oceania in the southern Pacific, there is an extremely beautiful coral reef, which makes the entire sea water colorful, and just thinking about it makes people yearn for it.

Zhu Yuning likes to listen, so Li Jie talks more vigorously. Moreover, these are not only for Zhu Yuning, but also for prenatal education for the children in her belly. Although the children still don’t understand it now, prenatal education is a bit metaphysical, and it is always much better to talk about some marine knowledge than others.

The couple had a happy chat, and Hu Yingyu and others dared not disturb him. They even brought lunch to the room, and they ate and chatted. Zhu Yuning seemed to have burst into great enthusiasm for these overseas situations. Although Li Jie occasionally talked about this, he rarely talked about it in detail.

Just as Li Jie and his wife were talking about the various things on the sea, on the eastern sea very far away from them, a fleet of seven sea boats also slowly moved along the ocean current, and the sea surface was quite calm, and everything seemed to look very normal.

However, at this moment, the lookout hand on the mast screamed, pointing at the distant sea to warn below. In front of the fleet, a black cloud was floating quickly, and the sea surface suddenly began to stir.
