For example, on Changmao's side, the Maritime Trade Office had already prepared sufficient information for the nobility group. What appeared to be cargo was actually more about assassins on board this time.

The navy, the Imperial Guard, and others were naturally involved as well. They provided warships and intelligence to those they needed, all to allow these noble groups to operate more effectively in Southeast Asia.

Many people are sharpening their knives, not only to gain more fame and fortune for themselves or their descendants, but also because they are used to a life of fighting and killing, and they are not used to a peaceful and comfortable environment.

Amidst the expectations of many, this special team set sail south, unaware of what they would encounter next. Perhaps many also didn't realize that they were embarking on a completely new situation that many found unacceptable.

This is not surprising, since Zhu Yunying felt that what he was doing was obviously more beneficial to the country and the civilization, so he felt at ease doing it.

These people, carrying out special missions, have gone to Southeast Asia, but they won't be able to return immediately. A round trip could take several months. Moreover, the seas are rough, and even though the Ming Dynasty's ships are large enough, there's no guarantee they won't encounter unforeseen circumstances.

Even though the Maritime Trade Office of the Ming Dynasty is now quite mature and the fleet is growing larger, in reality, not everyone who goes to sea can return safely.

To accomplish something, you naturally need to take on certain risks; this is perfectly normal and nothing to be surprised about.

Besides these people, the only other things the court is currently focused on, besides the Emperor Emeritus's birthday, are that so-called bank.

This matter is naturally extremely important, and it can be said that it involves the interests of many people.

Some people want the bank to succeed, while others naturally want to see it fail. Or perhaps they can profit more from such a failure.
