West Garden, Garden.

Zhu Zaiyun rode a bamboo pole, held a leather rope, and shouted while whipping: "Drive, drive, come and chase me!" ”

Wang Su also rode a bamboo pole, chasing wildly stupidly, and he was tired of this kind of game.

Wang Ce sat on the stone with a bamboo pole on his shoulder, so bored that he yawned. He's seven and a half years old, he's a man, and he doesn't want to play with the little kids.

"Haha, I'm the fastest!" Zhu Zaiyun rushed to the finish line, turned around and laughed happily at his playmate.

Wang Su hurriedly said: "I'm second, I'm second!" ”

Zhu Zaiyun walked up to Wang Ce and asked, "Why don't you run?" ”

Wang Ce replied: "Children only ride bamboo horses, but I have ridden real horses at home." ”

Zhu Zaiyun didn't believe it: "I've seen real horses, they grow so tall and tall, can you ride them?" ”

"Of course I can ride, I'm riding a pony." Wang Ce said proudly.

Zhu Zaiyun immediately turned around and ran, and a group of eunuchs chased after him. Running to the depths of the garden, Zhu Zaiyun threw himself into his mother's arms: "I also want to ride a horse, I want to ride a horse too!" ”

The imperial concubine smiled and coaxed: "When Yan'er grows taller, you can ride a horse." ”

Zhu Zaiyun raised his head and asked, "Do you want Brother Ce to be so tall?" ”

The imperial concubine stroked the top of her son's head and said, "Yes, when Yan'er is as tall as Brother Ce, let your father take you on a real horse." If you want to grow taller quickly, you have to eat meat obediently, and if you eat too little, your body is too weak to ride a horse. ”

"Well, I eat more meat every day!" Zhu Zaiyun solemnly promised.

The imperial concubine waved her hand and smiled: "Let's go play." ”

The two kittens next to him suddenly jumped up and ran away with Zhu Zaiyan. They are all descendants of the "Three Heroes of Civil Engineering", mixed with the blood of the tanuki, and it is difficult to tell that they are ocelots.

Song Ling'er and Huang E sat there, watching the three children play with the imperial concubine.

Song Linger is already pregnant again, and it will be time to give birth in two months. On the contrary, Huang E and Xiangxiang did not move, they were quite envious in their hearts, and they always pestered Wang Yuan to exchange physiological knowledge.

"This is the spice that Majapahit paid tribute, so bring some back." The imperial concubine handed over two bamboo baskets from the palace maid's hand.

Huang E thanked him, and Song Linger asked, "Where is Majapahit?" ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Nanyang, it is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, this tribute is to serve the softness, and I was scared by the Ming sailors." ”

Huang E said curiously: "Since it is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, why is it afraid of the Ming Water Master?" ”

"Because they are attached to the Franco." The Imperial Concubine explained.

Majapahit is the largest country in the South Seas, located in the later part of Indonesia, but the land area is much larger than Indonesia.

Decades ago, a city converted to the Green Religion and declared its independence from Majapahit, the "Sultanate of Tammu". Although the Sultanate of Danmu was a small country, it carried the Majapahit for more than 20 years, not only striving for peace by force, but also robbing the spice trade routes of the South Seas.

After the Portuguese captured Malacca, the Majapahit immediately went to liaison, and the Portuguese and Manchurian countries formed an alliance to jointly deal with Tammu and Malacca.

After the Daming sailors drove out the Portuguese, they obtained three large islands from Malacca. Because of the conflict in the spice trade, the Ming sailors immediately attacked the Linga Islands, which were the stronghold of Majapahit's trade to the west.

The Sultanate immediately hugged the thigh of the Great Ming Sailor and started another war with the Majapahit, who believed in Buddhism and Hinduism.

Now, the Ming Naval Division has succeeded in taking the Linga Islands, and the Sultanate has tripled its territory. Malacca came to mingle again, because just a few years ago, they were always stabbed in the ass by Majapahit, and now they must take the opportunity to retaliate.

Majapahit could not withstand the joint attack of the three kingdoms, so he hurriedly sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute, hoping that the Ming Emperor would let them go.

Leopard room.

Zhu Houzhao held the tributary document in his hand and said with a smile: "This is full of Boyi, I'm afraid I can't fight anymore." ”

"You really can't fight." Wang Yuan said.

Majapahit had great respect for the Ming Dynasty and was second only to the Ryukyus in the frequency of tribute among the vassal states in the Nanyang region.

This time, the envoy sent to Beijing to beg for mercy was immediately used by Qingliu.

Just yesterday, Liang Chu said something about it: "The Manchu Boyi, the vassal of the Ming Dynasty." In the early years of the Dynasty, the Manjapahit Boyi presented the edict of the Mengyuan Dynasty to show his loyalty to our Great Ming Dynasty. For more than 100 years, the tributary season has not lost etiquette, and I have admired the Ming Dynasty. Now the Qiantang Water Division is full of righteousness, and he has taken troops to the sea without permission, and violated the system to conquer the subject country, and his crime should be punished! If the Qiantang sailor crosses the border to go to sea, he should be recalled immediately, and he must not leave Zhejiang for half a step! ”

Zhu Houzhao asked: "What does Erlang think should be done?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "The Manchu General Soldier has made it very clear in the letter that the Manjapahit is the largest power in the South Seas. But it has been established for a long time, and it is corrupt and dying, and it is being bullied by small countries. This kind of rigid power should be supported as a puppet, and it should not be allowed to die quickly. On the contrary, it is a sultanate, which has been established for a short time, and is brave and diligent, so it should be guarded against carefully. ”

Zhu Houzhao pondered: "However, we are allies with Manraka and Danmu, and we can't turn around and support Majapahit." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Manraka and Danmu, how can they be qualified to be allies of the Ming Dynasty?" We sent troops to help Manraka because Manraka was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty. We sent troops to conquer Majapahit because Majapahit was dependent on the Buddha Franc machine, and the suzerainty punished the subject country. These two dispatches are famous, where did they violate the etiquette for half a day? The small country of Danmu Puer, from the Ming Dynasty's Manchurian Boyi, betrayed, the Ming Dynasty naturally had a reason to suppress it! ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed: "Erlang is worthy of the "Book of Rites", no matter how he says it, he will obey the etiquette. Reversing black and white, referring to a deer as a horse, but that's it. ”

Wang Yuan said a lot of righteous and awe-inspiring things, but in the final analysis, it was just interests.

Majapahit is a major producer of spices and is known as the Spice Islands by Europeans. But its spices went westward, but they were controlled by the light, so they chose to ally themselves with the Portuguese.

The Ming Dynasty sent troops to subdue Malacca, just to obtain the three major islands as overseas strongholds. The purpose of the counterattack on the Linga Islands was to snatch the only remaining port of the west of Majapahit and blockade the Majapahit there. Since it has been sealed, there is no need to fight again, just let Majapahit be the spice production base of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the situation has changed, and the Ming and Danmu were allies before, and now they are competitors in the spice trade. Only by killing Danmu can the Ming Dynasty control the spice trade between the East and the West!

Wang Yuan straightened out the relationship of interests, and Zhu Houzhao immediately understood.

This emperor is shameless, so that he will not lose the benefits of the spice trade in vain because of his high-sounding face. He readily agreed, acting according to Wang Yuan's strategy, supporting the Majapahit and suppressing the Sultan of Danmu.

Immediately, Zhu Houzhao said: "Johor really has so much gold? In this case, simply occupy Johor and come back every year by digging for gold! ”

Wang Yuan persuaded: "Absolutely not. We have already had an unpleasant quarrel with Majapahit, and we are going to suppress the Danmu Kingdom next, how can we have another dispute with Manjapahit? This is a strategy to make enemies on all sides. ”

"Then leave the gold and don't dig it?" Zhu Houzhao was a little unwilling.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "At the beginning, the king of Manraka promised that the people of the Ming Dynasty could freely earn a living in their country. Just let the people go to gold panning, those immigrants are very active, as long as the gold panning is banned in Manchuria, it is not too late for the Ming Dynasty to intervene. ”

The Johor Gold Mine is an important economic resource for many strategy games, and it was discovered at the right time.

The maritime merchants of Guangdong and Fujian have already received the news and are spontaneously organizing a gold panning.

Heading northwest from Johor, there are many more major gold mines that remain undiscovered. During World War II, Japan mined a lot of gold, and after the war, Malaysia mined gold, and large gold mines continued to be discovered.

The gold mines of the Malay Peninsula alone can drive Chinese immigrants crazy.

With the backing of the Daming Water Division, in a maximum of twenty years, the Malay Peninsula will be full of Chinese, and most of them will go to pan for gold!

As for Qingliu's attack, don't pay attention to it, maybe in the end, they will also send people to pan for gold.
