Turbulent Times Chapter 866: Long live General Shi

While thinking about the tragic ending of Yu Juluo in the original history, Wang Junlin felt emotional, and thought that no matter how he existed, the history of the Sui Dynasty could be changed, but he dare not say, but the fate of his master could not No more tragedy.

When Wang Junlin came to Yujuluo's tent, Yujuluo was receiving an official's visit. Seeing Wang Junlin coming in, the official got up to greet Wang Junlin. Yujuluo smiled and introduced to Wang Junlin: "Junlin , Come, let me introduce you to a sea expedition hero of our Tai Sui."

Yu Juluo was speaking, pointing to a burly official in his thirties and said with a smile to Wang Junlin: "This is Honglu Shaoqing Zhu Kuan."

Wang Junlin saw that Zhu Kuan had dark skin and bright eyes. He had heard of this person, and had sent someone to investigate this person's information in detail. There are very few records of it.

Historical records say that in the third year of Emperor Sui Yang's great career, Zhu Kuan was good at sailing. He was ordered by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty to go to Liuqiu with He Man (there are different opinions, one is about Taiwan, the other is about today's Ryukyu Islands, and the other is about the Ryukyu Islands. Said to refer to a wide range of Southeast Asian sea countries). In the second year, Ryukyu became a vassal of the Great Sui Empire, and Emperor Sui Yang ordered Zhu Kuan to go to Ryukyu to learn about the local situation and promote the connection between the Chinese Empire and Ryukyu.

It is now the fourth year of Daye. Zhu Kuan led his army to sea last year and conquered Ryukyu. The historical records are consistent. Wang Junlin remembered the importance of both Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands to future generations of China. Now that he saw the real person, he couldn't help admiring Zhu Kuan. Did you go to Yizhou Dadao?"

Zhu Kuan was a little surprised when he heard the words, and said with a look of surprise: "Qin Angong is talking about the big island of Ryukyu, right? Passing there, but the island is full of miasma, it is difficult to stay for a long time, only replenishing fresh water at the mouth of the river and returning, my officer After I came back, I searched all the classics and asked many learned people, but no one knew about the big island of Ryukyu, I don’t think Qin Angong knew about this island.”

"Master Zhu doesn't know something. I have always yearned for the vast sea, so I like to hear some sailing stories. A few years ago, I heard a Nanyang sea merchant talk about the big island of Ryukyu. I heard that it is a treasure island. In the future, if Mr. Zhu is interested, he can go further south, where there are Nanyang Islands, there are merchants coming and going in the Sui Dynasty, and there are even richer places, with precious spices, wood and precious stones." Wang Junlin made up a random reason, At the same time, he did not forget to guide Zhu Kuan to run further.

Zhu Kuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said: "I don't want to hear about Qin Angong, and to tell you the truth about Qin Angong and Director Yu, I have also asked some sea merchants to inquire about the situation in the south and west of Ryukyu Island. , the situation is the same as what Qin Angong said. It’s just that our sea-going ships are not strong enough to ensure that they can travel too far. Mr. Li Chun, the Foreign Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is good at manufacturing. I wanted to ask Mr. Li to help us jointly research and manufacture. A new type of high-rise ship, but Mr. Li is not willing, today I came to find Director Yu, just to ask Mr. Yu to speak in front of Mr. Li, and help us build a new type of high-rise ship."

Li Chun, the famous designer and builder of Zhaozhou Bridge, Zhaozhou Bridge has a history of more than 1400 years. In the long years, although the arch bridge has been tested by numerous floods, wind and rain, ice, snow, wind and frost erosion and 8 earthquakes, it has stood upright on the Ming River safely and soundly. It can be called a miracle in the history of Chinese architecture. one.

And Li Chun is also Yu Juluo's son-in-law, but he is really not that good, selfish and timid.

Yu Juluo said with apologetic face at this time: "Li Chun is the old man's son-in-law, yes, but he has a weird personality. Even if he listens to the old man and helps you build a big ship, he may not try his best."

Zhu Kuan frowned when he heard this, he really didn't think of this.

Because Wang Junlin liked and appreciated what Zhu Kuan did in the South China Sea, so he wanted to help him, thinking that Nie Xiaoyu should be able to help Zhu Kuan with things like shipbuilding, so he said, "Master Zhu, I have a friend in the capital who is very proficient in shipbuilding, I will send someone to send him a message, and after you go to the capital, I will let him find you, and he will definitely be able to help you."

What kind of person is Wang Junlin? , he was overjoyed, cupped his fists and bowed down, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Qin An."

Wang Junlin didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Master Zhu, you are welcome, Master Zhu opened up overseas territories for us in the Sui Dynasty, and what you have done is a great achievement that will last forever. It is also my honor to help Master Zhu .”

As soon as Zhu Kuan heard this, his face showed excitement, and he said movedly: "Thank you Qin Angong for your kind words, I am ashamed of myself!"

That's what I said, but Zhu Kuan felt very useful in his heart, and he was indeed moved. To be honest, although he conquered the Ryukyu Kingdom, Yang Guang had no interest in small overseas islands and small countries. Jiamian's words, he didn't even get promoted, let alone conferred titles, otherwise, as long as Yang Guang said a word, not Li Chun, the entire Ministry of Industry would mobilize skilled craftsmen to obediently help Zhu Kuan repair the ship, so why would Zhu Kuan come to beg for fish? Talk to Li Chun.

Zhu Kuan saw that Yu Juluo had something to talk to Wang Junlin, so he left and left. Yu Juluo asked Wang Junlin to sit down again, and asked the guard to serve him a cup of tea. He was about to speak, when the guard outside reported, saying It's General Shi Wansui asking to see him.

Shi Wansui has a prominent status, and he is also an old friend with Yu Juluo, so he could not neglect, so Yu Juluo brought Wang Junlin to the door and welcomed Shi Wansui in.

After the three met each other, Shi Wansui couldn't wait to say: "Your son's title is no lower than mine, but since you are Lao Yu's apprentice, I will call you a good nephew. I heard that you have persuaded your majesty three times. After I heard about the time limit for extending the construction of the canal, I liked you a lot."

Wang Junlin expressed emotion, and said: "The general praised you absurdly, but it is a pity that your majesty did not listen to the advice of the younger generation."

Shi Wansui sighed slightly, recalled his own thoughts, and said helplessly, "At least you can still persuade Your Majesty. If others persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty will kill you!"

Wang Junlin knew that what Shi Wansui said was true. Since the beginning of this year, Emperor Yang Guang had executed three of his officials on the spot because of others' remonstrance. The next time he advised against something, his words were angry and disobedient, and Yang Guang was so furious that he ordered the guards to kill Shi Wansui in the court.
