Chapter 552: The Prosperity of Ming Dynasty



Anania never expected that after trying so hard to escape from Champa, she ended up on the Ming fleet by accident.

A few days ago, Ananya escaped on board a ship with a few trusted men.

Everything was normal, but she forgot one thing: when she was no longer the Champa princess, would her subordinates still be loyal to her?

It's not that they are greedy for beauty. After all, this may be the future concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they had ten times the courage, they would dare to have any ideas.

After colluding with each other, they decided to take this opportunity to bring Ananiah back to Champa to receive the reward from the Cham king.

Originally, after going out to sea, Ananya was quickly controlled.

Unfortunately, a hurricane gave her the opportunity to jump into the sea and escape.

Even if you are an excellent swimmer, what use will it be in this vast ocean?

Anania only yearned for freedom, not death. When she was on the verge of death, she happened to see the Ming fleet and swam over desperately.

Fortunately, it was the Ming fleet, and there were telescopes on board. There were sailors always observing the surrounding situation, and it happened to be seen.

After reporting to his superiors, Chen Muyue ordered the rescue.

The name Ananya is her real name.

She knew very well that the only way now was to follow the Ming fleet back to Champa, and there was no point in concealing her identity.

With her beauty, as long as she appears in Champa, she will definitely be known by others.

"You rest first. I'll go and tell the queen that you've woken up." After Xiaoqing said that, she got up and went out.

Ananya felt a little timid when she heard this.

She knew very well that the person she would face next would be the Crown Prince's favorite concubine, who was rumored to be the most powerful.

This is also the most anxious situation in Champa at present.

Originally, although the Ming Dynasty was the suzerain state of the Southeast Asian countries, as long as they submitted in name only, it had no right to interfere.

Even if the two countries fight to the death, we don't care.

Now the princess of Annan has become the concubine of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

In Ananya's memory, before she fell into a coma, she saw a huge fleet, and each ship was as majestic as a palace.

Champa could not resist such a powerful navy at all.

If we really target Champa, it would be extremely difficult to deal with.

Ananya was also very conflicted.

Because her family also belongs to the Chayezhan King's line, although they are distant relatives, she has also gained a lot of benefits because of this.

She was well aware of the danger her escape would bring to her family.

When I escaped previously, it was just a spur of the moment event. Now that I have gone through the life and death situation, the idea of ​​running away has faded.

She knew very well that if there was no one to protect her, with her beauty, she would easily attract the attention of others.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Ananiya quickly tidied herself up.

Soon, the door opened, and a woman dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes appeared in front of Ananya.

Of course it was Chen Muyue.

"Ananiya, I didn't call you wrong, right? The names of the people are always so complicated." Chen Muyue said with a smile.

Ananiya bowed her head slightly: "Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty. I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Chen Muyue asked: "You are very beautiful. A woman like you should be very famous in Champa."

The watery blue eyes did make Chen Muyue somewhat envious, especially the overall appearance, which was extremely rare and had a bit of Western color.

She is a real exotic beauty.

Ananiya knew that she was going to ask about her background, so she confessed honestly, "I dare not lie to Her Majesty Yue Fei. I am the newest princess appointed by the King of Zhan."

"I was traveling with a few of my men on the sea the other day, and we ran into a hurricane. Fortunately, the Queen rescued me, otherwise I would have been buried in the sea."

When Chen Muyue heard about the newly appointed princess, a hint of something unusual flashed in her eyes.

She immediately understood that this was the woman that Prince Zhan wanted to give to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He hopes to gain the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by doing this.

This opportunity was gained by exchanging a city.

To a certain extent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not refuse this.

This also means that the woman in front of him will most likely become his sister in the future.

If it were someone else, or another concubine in this situation.

Maybe there will be a lot of ideas.

To show kindness, to win over, to attack, etc.

But Chen Muyue knew very well that these were of no use to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

There is no point in fighting for power in the harem.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too powerful.

Thinking of this, Chen Muyue smiled calmly: "I know about this. I guess you are the princess of Champa who is going to the capital of Ming Dynasty."

"It seems that we are destined to be together."

"If that's the case, then it's not appropriate for you to live here. I'll arrange two maids for you later, and then you can move to the room next to mine. We'll be arriving in Champa soon."

"You are about the same size as me, so you can't wear that dress anymore. Xiaoqing, pick out two spare new dresses from me and give them to Princess Ananya."

Xiao Qing was slightly surprised, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Madam."

Chen Muyue looked at Ananiya again and said, "You just woke up, so you must be a little hungry. I will ask the cook to make something delicious."

"Doctor Zhang will come to check on you later to make sure there are no hidden dangers."

"The sun is quite harsh. I see your skin is a little hurt. I have some secret aloe vera cream. I'll ask Xiaoqing to bring some to you later."

After Chen Muyue finished the arrangements, she nodded slightly and then left, apparently to let Ananiya have a good rest.

Ananiya is still a little confused. She never expected that after her identity was revealed, the Yue Fei from the Ming Dynasty would be so friendly to her.

Although she looks a little naive, Ananiya is not a naive person. From her senses just now, she can feel Yue Fei's sincerity.

Annan and Champa were not friendly countries, and wars had been frequent over the years.

It seems that Yue Fei and I are natural enemies.

But the current situation really made Ananya confused.

Did you sell it to yourself on purpose?

It seems there is no need.

It doesn't mean that every concubine is favored in the Ming Dynasty. The fact that the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty can send so many ships and soldiers to escort her shows that Concubine Yue is extremely favored by the Crown Prince in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

I haven't even gone in yet, so I'm not sure I'll be chosen as a concubine.

Even if you are confident enough about your beauty, there are some things that beauty cannot control.

While Ananya was still thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, may we come in, please?"

There was a clear voice, and Ananya replied, "You can come in."

There were two pretty maids, carrying some millet porridge, bird's nest and white fungus desserts.

And some pastries.

These are always in stock, so they are delivered quickly.

After being introduced by the two maids, Ananiya also knew that this was the maid given to her by Concubine Yue.

Ananya was on guard and didn't pay much attention to it.

Then, with the help of two maids, she put on Chen Muyue's spare clothes.

Ananiya is a little taller than Chen Muyue, and the clothes of Daming concubine are relatively loose and do not feel tight.

Clothes make the man.

After putting it on, the already beautiful Ananya looked even more charming.

Even the two maids' eyes had a strange gleam in them.

Not long after, Doctor Zhang came over.

After taking his pulse, I determined that apart from being weak, there were no other problems.

Ananya also moved from the ordinary cabin here to next to Chen Muyue.

The luxurious decoration was truly an eye-opener for Ananya.

In her impression, ship cabins have always been extremely ordinary, but the Fu ship on the Ming side made her feel like she was in a palace.

Even the royal palace of Champa was no more than this.

And this is just the Ming Dynasty's fleet.

"My queen, why are you so nice to her? Even if she will be the Crown Prince's concubine in the future, she is still occupying someone else."

Xiaoqing asked with some confusion.

After all, now that Ananiah has not been canonized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is still unknown whether she can succeed.

Chen Muyue said calmly, "She is a Champa, but in His Royal Highness's eyes, there is no distinction between Annan and Champa."

"Look at the Japanese princess. His Royal Highness, can you please pay attention to her? It's because after entering the palace, she has been following Japanese etiquette and has not really regarded herself as a Ming person."

"It is rumored outside that I am extremely favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Xiaoqing, you understand the situation in Kunning Palace."

"So some things don't need to be like that, and they don't make any sense."

Xiaoqing nodded, not quite understanding: "Xiaoqing understands."

Champa Pier.

King Zhan waited patiently, and more and more people gathered on the dock.

Everyone knew that the Ming Dynasty fleet would be arriving soon.

"Here it comes, here it comes, what a big ship, so big!!!"

Zhan Wang, who was resting with his eyes closed, heard the sudden noise at the dock, so he quickly opened his eyes and looked towards the sea level in the distance.

At the point where the sea and the sky meet, rows of black shadows gradually appear from blurry to visible.

At first glance, there is nothing special about it, but if you look closely, you will find that those huge ships are simply horrifying.

The Cham people have lived on the sea for a long time and are naturally quite familiar with all kinds of ships. Although Champa is a small country, it owns thousands of large and small ships.

But they had never seen the Ming Dynasty's warships.

Now, I see it.

As time went by, the Ming fleet got closer and closer, and the originally noisy dock gradually became silent.

No matter how loudly someone had shouted before, now they could only stare at the scene in front of them in amazement.

It's really shocking.

This scene will be imprinted in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

The Ming Dynasty's seagoing ships were mainly Fujian ships.

It doesn't sound very domineering.

But this Fu ship was later given the nickname of the Ming Dynasty aircraft carrier.

In history books, the Fuzhou ships were described as being as tall as city towers.

However, this is not an exaggeration, but a truly appropriate description.

The ships used by Zheng He's fleet on his voyages to the West were mainly called treasure ships.

The treasure ship is actually a large Fujian ship.

It is 44 meters long and 18 meters wide.

Converted into modern units, it is 125 meters long and 60 meters wide.

The ship has four floors and the mast is eighteen meters high.

In later generations, a mast was three meters high, equivalent to a five-story building.

This kind of thing exists in the current world and is just like a giant beast.

Not to mention the rows of black cannon holes next to the hull.

It is hard to imagine any fleet on the sea that can compare with it.

And in front of the Champa people, there were as many as 300 such huge beasts.

When the three hundred treasure ships approached the dock, it suddenly felt like darkness.

The entire dock was three points darker, as if the sunlight was blocked out. Under such circumstances, a suffocating feeling permeated the densely packed dock.

In the past, for the Champa people, the power of the Ming Dynasty was just a saying, which was somewhat illusory.

Apart from seeing the wealthy Ming Dynasty merchants, there was no other clear feeling.

The arrival of the three hundred treasure ships today made all the Champa people truly understand what kind of existence the Ming Dynasty is.

Even King Zhan, when he looked up at these giant beasts, couldn't stop shaking in his heart, and even his legs and feet felt a little numb.

My throat was very dry and I could only swallow saliva to relieve it.

And he was very careful, for fear of disturbing it.

Chen Qizhi and his entourage looked at the scene in front of them, and a sense of heroism surged in their hearts.

Even the lowly servants stood straight at this moment.

This is our Ming Dynasty.

This is the strength of our Ming Dynasty.

Being in a foreign country and seeing the Ming treasure ship that is powerful enough to crush everything appears is a feeling that is difficult to describe.

At this time, the enthusiasm of all Ming Dynasty merchants for their motherland was rapidly rising.

It took a long while for everyone to calm down.

The huge ship in front of us tells everyone that this is not an illusion, but there really is such a huge ship.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!”

When the Ming fleet approached the dock, the sound of drums rang out from above the fleet. The deafening sound of drums spread across the dock, indicating that the fleet was about to dock.

The first ship to dock was not Chen Muyue's main ship, but the lucky ships of other soldiers.

After the hull was opened, a staircase extended down from the side, and a large number of armored soldiers disembarked in an orderly manner.

After getting off the boat, they gathered on the spot immediately to form a large protective circle.

After a large number of soldiers gathered at the dock, horse boats docked next.

The so-called horse ship is naturally a ship that carries war horses.

A large number of war horses were transported off the ship, and then some of the soldiers claimed their own horses.

It didn't take long before three thousand knights were in place.

Shining armor, spears, and muskets hanging at the waist.

Coupled with the neat military appearance, which indicated a strong military force, it made all the people on the dock even more timid.
