If a person is unlucky, he can stuff his teeth when he drinks water.

This is currently the case with Dumapan.

On the island of Java, the strongest country is the country of Ma Pachi, and Du Ma Pan defeated the king of the east in the war for land and power, and occupied the dominant position of the country of Ma Hachie, and should have lived a life of prestige, bullying neighbors, and walking sideways on the island. Who would have thought that one accidentally found the wrong robbery target and provoked the Ming Dynasty fleet.

Dumaban was depressed.

I thought it was a piece of fatty meat, but when I bit it, it was not a fragrant oil flower, but a steel plate, which instantly collapsed and was full of big teeth.

None of the soldiers sent out to loot made it back alive, and the bodies were piled up on the shore, neither buried nor burned, and the scavenging birds that had been brought in hovered over the island with terrible cries. You don't have to see it with your own eyes, just imagining it is enough to make people feel terrified.

The inquirer returned, and as he spoke, his legs trembled, and he heard the sound of his teeth clattering unusually clearly.

“…… It was the fleet of the Ming Dynasty...... It's terrible, the huge sea ship is like a demon...... It breathes fire, and there are huge arrows, and iron balls that can crush people......"

Du Maban frowned and listened, his dark face was extremely hideous under the light of the fire.

After the spies finished speaking, the ministers and generals of the kingdom who were sitting around looked at Dumaban in unison.

What should I do?

It is true that a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, but the fleet of the Ming Dynasty is too strong, and if it supports its neck, it can only be flattened by a claw.

"My lord, I heard that the fleet is sending people around looking for your traces."

"Lord of the country, it is never the way to fight hard."

"My lord, the previous attack on the fleet can be argued that the members of the fleet who came ashore were mistaken for the remnants of the East King, which is a misunderstanding, and there may be room for rearound......"

The ministers and generals have come up with ideas in every word, trying to convince Du Maban that it is not a good idea to fight by force and continue to escape, and to surrender to the Ming Dynasty fleet in order to try to save his life.

You can't beat it, keep running, the island is such a big place, sooner or later it will be found.

Running to the next island? No one is welcome. If you are not careful, you will also be given as a gift to the Ming Dynasty fleet moored at sea.

This is not alarmist, as long as Dumapan dares to leave Java, the assumption will soon become a reality.

Du Ma Ban couldn't run, and neither could the ministers and generals of the Ma Ya Ya Ji Kingdom.

The strength of bullying neighbors on weekdays has now turned into full of apprehension, and the bonfire burns - bear - bear, but cold sweat breaks out on his forehead.

"Alright!."

Du Ma Ban gritted his teeth fiercely, and thought that he couldn't continue to hide. The fleet of the Ming Dynasty was determined to find him and continue to hide, once it was found, the end would be even worse.

"What does the lord mean?"

A minister asked cautiously, Du Maban's eyes widened, and he asked knowingly, he is the king, even if he makes up his mind to surrender, the words cannot be said by him!

After a short silence, the ministers understood, and so did the generals.

The lord of the kingdom means surrender!

Wipe a cold sweat, and finally don't have to live in fear.

If the other party wants to slaughter, the king must be at the front.

The king was slaughtered, much more than his own rulers. If you're lucky, you might be able to escape a stab in the neck.

Surrender, must surrender!

If Du Maban knew what the loyal ministers and generals were thinking, he would definitely be so angry that he picked up his knife and slashed them first.

Helplessly, the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and Du Ma Ban has no ability to see through, so he can only be moved by the loyalty of the ministers, while pondering which minister should be pushed out to be the scapegoat when the Ming Dynasty fleet is investigated.

He was a king, and it was an honor for these people to die for him.

Dumaban and his ministers perfectly interpreted what it means to be a nest of snakes and rats, and what is as black as a crow in the world.

To sum up, none of this is good.

During the days when Duma Bandong was hiding in Tibet, the members of Zheng He's fleet visited the island's Dili and Jinmaoli countries one after another, and tried to find out the news and start trade.

It is said to be a kingdom, but in the eyes of the fleet members, it is not much different from a larger village. A little better, it can be at the county level, and a little worse, the king lives in a thatched hut made of wood.

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong did not go ashore, and the merchants were also afraid of what happened before, so they easily stopped getting off the ship.

Visiting the island's countries were the lieutenants, interpreters, and men with guns and spears in the fleet.

The islanders were scared enough to see these visitors.

It is not a secret that Dumapan attacked the Ming fleet, and the corpses of the islanders piled up in the harbor are not fake. I couldn't guess the other party's intentions, and I didn't dare to risk my life, so I just didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and ran away first.

The soldiers showed their most cordial smiles, trying to call back the scattered islanders, but they all ran away, how could they convey the will of the Son of Heaven and do business?

The islanders looked back and fled faster.

Nine out of ten have already frothed at the mouth and rolled their eyes, and the remaining one is still too old to run.

It won't go on like this.

The interpreter immediately made a decision, asked the soldiers to retreat, and shouted loudly in the local language that he was not very proficient in: "We have no malice here, just to convey the meaning of my Son of Heaven and friendly trade." ”

It's a pity that no matter how loud he shouted, the islanders didn't believe it, and just ran away.

It wasn't until two former Song Dynasty remnants living on the island came out and shouted for the interpreter that the panicked islanders gradually calmed down. There was still disbelief on his face, but he stopped running into the forest.

"This is the fleet of the Ming Dynasty, carrying the edict of the Great Tomorrow, and there is no evil intention on this trip, just to make good relations with Western states and exchange trade."

A few words are not enough to convince the islanders, and the removal of porcelain and cloth from the cart is even more convincing.

A beautiful tea set was presented to the king here, and the atmosphere suddenly became friendly.

Sure that the soldiers would not suddenly draw their knives and give them a blow, the islanders' eyes were quickly attracted by the cloth and porcelain, and they gathered around to ask for the price.

The Song and Yuan dynasties developed maritime trade, and fleets often traded in Java and other places.

Before Zheng He's fleet, the Great Food Merchants and Indian Merchants occasionally docked on the island, exchanging cloth and utensils of various materials for spices, gold and silver from the islanders, who were not averse to trading with outsiders and were able to profit from the trade.

Unfortunately, the peace did not last long, and some of the people led by Dumapan were satisfied with equal trade, and began to rob passing merchant ships, not counting the goods, but also killed all the crew members, and succeeded several times, which fostered their ambitions, and the evil deeds intensified, and almost all the merchant ships docked in Java were spared.

There are no impermeable walls in the world, and when the news spread, there are fewer and fewer maritime merchants docking in Java, and often there is no shadow of a sea ship all year round.

The arrival of Zheng He's fleet broke the deadlock and dealt a blow to Dumapan.

How about the Ground Snake? The raptor crossed the river, and he still had to curl up.

Dare to stretch your neck, and a knife will result in you!

The porcelain cloth brought by Zheng He's fleet was far more exquisite than that on the ships of the great food merchants. The tea set given to the king of the dish was collected as a treasure.

Knowing that the cloth and porcelain in front of them could not only be purchased with gold, silver and spices, but also exchanged for grain and medicine, and the price was more affordable than that of the Great Cannibal, the islanders were instantly excited.

When the soldiers returned to the ship and came with more goods, the atmosphere at the scene could almost be described as crazy.

Cotton, silk, porcelain, wooden tools, were sold out in an instant.

In its place, there were plenty of pepper and nutmeg, all kinds of food and fruits that could be used to satisfy hunger, simple polished gold, black oil that could be burned, and even two peacocks and a half-sized black bear.

Some hunters on the island wanted to exchange cotton cloth with two short-nosed beasts that looked like pigs and were covered in stiff fur. The islanders told the interpreter that this animal does not hurt people and is often caught by the islanders and eaten as meat. The interpreter discussed with the internal official and agreed to exchange with the hunter. It's not for eating, it's also a rarity to take it back and offer it.

The trip to Sauceri was a success, but the members of the fleet looking for the traces of Dumapan ran into trouble.

Walking deep into the forest, he met a barbarian with strange patterns painted on his head and face. Fortunately, the guide who led the way reacted quickly, and only two people were slightly injured in the barbarian's attack.

Seeing the appearance of the captured barbarian, the guide's face was very ugly. Inform the members of the fleet that these barbarians hiding in the forest do not produce, and mostly make a living by looting, and even some fierce tribes take a detour when they see them.

What's even more appalling is that these barbarians can actually eat people!

"Earlier, my father and brother died at the hands of these people, and the bones have not been recovered!"

This guide is a remnant of the former Song Dynasty, whose ancestors fled - war - chaos, moved here, and lived a fairly prosperous life through trade with the islanders. But after his father and brother went out and were attacked by barbarians, and their home was also looted by the islanders, everything came to naught.

Relatives are gone, homes are gone, and even the young children who have just completed the moon have been poisoned.

Only the belief in revenge can sustain him to live.

Hearing this, everyone in the team frowned, looking at the barbarian who was pressed to the ground, and there was no trace of pity.

Towards the evening, the teams that went ashore returned to the ship one after another, and Zheng He heard the report and drew a heavy stroke on the newly drawn nautical chart of the Ministry of Works.

The next day, the fleet continued its search for the kingdoms and tribes of the island. With a guide to lead the way, some of the merchants also had the courage to disembark and follow the procession to various places to conduct trading activities.

Ding Qianhu checked the medicinal herbs and spices exchanged from the islanders, but found no medicine that could treat malaria, so he could not get off the ship, so he could only tell the officers and merchants who led the team to be sure to investigate carefully.

"This is what Shangguan needs, you must find a way to find it."

"Thousands of households can rest assured that they will not be negligent when they mark it."

The hundred households who led the team patted their chests and assured, Ding Qianhu nodded and said no more.

At noon, before the search party had returned, a warship found a suspicious person on the shore, dressed the same as the one from the previous raid-attack-strike fleet.

After the person is caught, he is not severely tortured, tortured, and beaten, and he pours beans into a bamboo tube, and his future intention is clearly stated.

After listening to the translation's paraphrase, Zheng He and Wang Jinghong glanced at each other, squinted their eyes at the same time, and smiled.

After waiting for so long and making such a big fuss, it's time for a result.

In October of the third year of Yongle, a warship in Zheng He's fleet, "escorting" two cargo ships, left the team that went to the West and returned to Daming.

The cargo ship carried tributaries from various countries on the islands of Java and Sumatra, as well as objects dedicated to the Ming Dynasty. Among them, Du Maban, the king of the west of the country of Ma Ya Baxie, also presented a letter of state, expressing his willingness to give up half of the country to atone for the crime of killing the members of the Ming fleet.

Of course, the national letter will not be written so straightforwardly, but the act of sacrificing the land will be expressed as admiration and worship for the Ming Dynasty, kneeling and singing about conquest can no longer be expressed, it must be so, in order to express the sincere feelings of the people of the country.

The flotilla landed in Fujian, and news soon reached Nanjing.

What happened on the island of Java was also written down in a song, which was brought back by the Kingoe Sendo Hayashi Ziyi, who escorted the mission, and presented to the Imperial Palace.

Immediately after the presentation of the recital, the envoy team of the country of Ma Ya Ba Xie was greatly valued, and the delegation arrived in Nanjing, and was the first to be summoned.

Under the envious, jealous and hateful gaze of others, Bazhi and others, who represented the country of Ma Baxie to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, followed the summoned Zhongguan into the palace in a daze, and saw the great tomorrow.

Bowing and bowing, Bachi and the others were called, trembling and not daring to raise their heads.

"The subordinates are terrified."

Da Ming's strength is far beyond their imagination, except for frustration, they don't even have the strength to be jealous.

The only choice for Bachi and the others is to extinguish all luck and wait for the fate of the great tomorrow.

At the beginning, Zhu Di was very polite and accepted Dumaban's admiration for Daming, and said that in order not to hurt the feelings of the people of Ma Ma Baxie, he reluctantly accepted the land donated by Du Maban.

"So sincere, I can't bear to push back."

The envoys of Dumaban immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, it is great that Your Majesty can think like this, and the ministers are really very moved!

When the land was in hand, Zhu Di put away his smile, and the words changed, admiration and admiration, the previous fleet was attacked, and the dead and injured members still need to give an explanation.

Bachi and the others were stunned.

The land has been given, and it's not over?

Zhu Di shook his fingers, yard by yard, and accepted the land because of the admiration of the country for me, and he couldn't bear to refuse. The fleet was on patrol on behalf of the kingdom and was killed for no reason, so there must be a plan.

In short, whoever kills me hurts my face. My face is broken, and I must get it back.

"You should interpret the meaning of me."

The envoys of Dumaban pinched their thighs hard, sobered up from their shocked state, and said with tears in their eyes, Your Majesty, tell the truth, how to give an explanation.

Zhu Di coughed, and Hou Xian immediately stepped forward and unfolded a compensation schedule, which listed the claim items in detail.

casualties, burial expenses, resettlement expenses for the families of victims, compensation for the fleet...... Compensation for moral damages, lost work, and economic losses caused by the ship while it was docked on Java Island were added up to a total of 60,112 taels of gold.

After reading it in one breath, Hou Xian handed the compensation details to Bazhi.

Zhu Di waved his hand, treating people with sincerity and compassion. I don't want a fraction, just pay 60,000 taels of gold. How, I'm a good talker, aren't I?

60,000 taels ...... Gold?

The envoys of the country of Ma Ya Xie turned black in front of their eyes and were collectively petrified.

Thinking about the Ming army stationed on the island and the Chinese who were summoned, Bazhi and the others had layers of cold sweat on their heads, and the word "no" on their lips swallowed back with difficulty.

Also, smashing the pot and selling iron must be returned!

Zhu Di is satisfied, Xingningbo, who drew up this list, is about to be praised again.

After the envoys of the country of Ma Baxie, the envoys of Dili, Jinmaoli, Sumatra and other countries were summoned one after another.

The process is basically the same, offer things, and Daming will give a reward. Everyone thanked Daming for his generosity, and was given a banquet by the palace, and at sunset, he left the palace with a red face.

The great tomorrow will reward Qi gauze and silk, and the country will have no share.

The palace of the great tomorrow gave a banquet, and there was no share in the country.

Instead, he compensated the Ming Dynasty for gold and donated the land, and he had a share in everything.

Compared with the sad face, Bachi and others who considered where it was more appropriate to jump into the sea, the small countries that had been bullied by Dumaban in the past were finally able to hold their heads high and raise their eyebrows.

After Java and Sumatra, envoys from the muddy, old port, and Manraka came by ship to pay tribute, and two of them personally led the team. At the same time, the Tatars in the north were attached to the tribes, and the savage Jurchens and other tribes also came to pay tribute.

With so many people coming together, it was soon impossible to live in the Nanjing Huitong Pavilion.

Honglu Temple Qing reported that Emperor Yongle summoned his ministers to discuss and decided, and decided to expand the hall.

For a time, the price of land near the Huitong Hall soared, and the merchants who transported wood and stone into Beijing made a lot of money.

Zuo Shilang and Hubu Langzhong, who were ordered to supervise the construction of the building, stood next to the drawings and had a heated discussion on a series of cost issues.

Wang-Ba-fist is the foundation, one person is invincible, and calling friends to lead the group to kick is the essence.

The fist is not enough, the paperweight and inkstone are all weapons in hand, grab it and shoot it down, which is more powerful than the bricks.

The envoys of various countries living in the hall witnessed everything from beginning to end, and had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

If it is really the Heavenly Empire, Wenchen is so fierce and invincible!

Nanjing is busy building the same hall, and the Beijing branch is not idle, the Son of Heaven has long had the intention of moving the capital, and it is not only Meng who has a clear eye and a clear heart.

Ji Shan Juan of the former Yan Wangfu was promoted to Beijing Huke to give the matter, and the first thing he did after taking office was to join the imperial city with Song Heng in the matter.

Soon, the household department, the engineering department, and the military department were all busy.

The news that Beijing's Xingtaifu Temple was moved to Daning was also confirmed, and to Meng's surprise, the Beijing Military War Bureau would also be temporarily moved to Daning, and then move back after the completion of the work and the specific renovation and construction projects of the imperial city and the periphery of the capital were determined.

Seeing Shen Xuan, who appeared in Daning with Bai Yanhui, Meng couldn't help frowning.

Knowing that Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, had suddenly made a pilgrimage to Nanjing, and that Zhu Gaosui of Han, the king of Han, would arrive in Daning two days later, Meng's brows furrowed even deeper.

looked at Shen Xuan and wanted to hear his answer, but the answer was not revealed, and a big thunder was slashed on his head.

Xu Huizu, the emperor's brother-in-law, was to be ordered to the north to guard the town.

"Isn't Grandpa Guo joking?"

"Of course not."

Shen Xuan took out the holy decree that had been sent to Beijing not long ago and let Meng read it for himself.

Unfold the holy decree, which is clearly written: Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, led 3,000 cavalry in Beijing and Yongping meritorious officers and troops in Shuntianfu to prepare for the Xuanfu, Wanquan, Huai'an, Longqing, Xinghe Zhuwei.

After reading it, Meng raised his head, "Grandpa Guo, have you committed a crime?" ”

Shen Xuan glanced at Meng strangely, "Why does Twelve Lang think so?" ”

Isn't it obvious?

The Duke of Wei prepared troops to Shuntian, and the Duke of Dingguo must have offended the emperor and was -masturbated-.

Shen Xuan looked at Meng for a long time, looked up at Fang Liang, made sure that there was no suspicious figure, and directly grabbed the person and pressed him into his arms.

Keep your head down and bite off.
