But Yun Xi immediately took out the map of the South Seas with a happy face after they withdrew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now Yun Xi also has some city governments that will not easily show their emotions, but he thinks that since it is a happy thing, he should be happy, is it interesting to pretend that the clouds are light, especially when he is alone.

And this time it was a great thing to be happy about. This is the first step of Daming going south, and it was completed very smoothly, no matter what others think, Yun Xi is very happy.

Yun Xi pointed to the location of the Three Buddhas on the map, looked at the location of Majapahit, and said to himself: "In fact, Java Island is richer than Sumatra Island, and it is not unreasonable that the later Ranyin (Dutch East Indies) is centered on the Javanese people of Java Island. ”

"But now Majapahit is still relatively strong, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to take it, and Java Island is not stuck in a key position, so let's let it go first."

"But," Yun Xi's hand pointed to another place, this one located north of Srivijaya, "this place must be taken!" ”

Yun Xi casually opened a book that was sent along with the report of this victory, which was named "Nanyang Sea Chronicles".

This book is a book that records another mission of the 'Nanyang Dispatch Army' to the south, which is to explore the sea conditions of the Nanyang, the distribution of islands, and the people of the Nanyang.

Yun Xi quickly flipped to the page of Manraka, looked at it carefully, and said, "Well, when the boat was exploring the sea conditions in the eastern sea of Manraka, there was a confrontation with Manraka's sailors?" Not bad. ”

"And Manraka has not been a minister to the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period, although this time they want to be a minister, but I have decided to refuse!"

"So the excuse for war has been found. It's easy! Sure enough, Frederick II's words were right. ”

Then Yunxi looked to the east of the South China Sea and looked at Luzon Island. "The Luzon people don't give Da Ming face this time, they don't know that Da Ming is not a vegetarian if they don't give them a meal."

"It's just, do you want to be crowned king or not? Is Luzon good or not? More needs to be learned. If it is not easy to fight, it will not be fought for the time being, and it must not be delayed in a few years. ”

Yun Xi then took out all the things in his hand and carefully analyzed them for a while, and then made up his mind: "Luzon is just a weak country, there is nothing to care about, fight!" As for whether to be crowned king, there is such a suitable candidate now. ”

"But let's listen to the results of Fang Mingqian's exploration of the north tomorrow, and then make up our minds."

"And this island," Yun Xi pointed to the island north of Luzon, "Do you want to send someone to develop it?" ”

===============================

Xu Jingchang and Li Xunhai left the Qianqing Palace, and just when they walked to the Qianqing Gate, they heard someone calling: "Jingchang, you stop." And it was a woman's voice.

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw a woman in a palace dress half-covering her face with a handkerchief, standing not far away with several palace maids.

Although Xu Jingchang didn't see this woman's appearance, he knew who it was after seeing her maid, and turned around and said to Li Xunhai, "You go back first." Then he walked this way.

The woman led him to a palace. As soon as they entered the palace, the woman heard Xu Jingchang say, "Auntie, does Your Majesty know, does Your Majesty know that Auntie, you see me?" ”

The woman turned her head and saw Xu Jingchang looking at her with an uneasy expression.

She was stunned for a moment, then reached out and knocked on Xu Jingchang's head and said, "You think my aunt is stupid!" With His Majesty's consent, of course. Who made you a man! If you were a woman, your aunt wouldn't have to go through so much red tape when she saw you. ”

Of course, this person is Xu Miaojin. She is the same age as Xu Jingchang, and she is only fifteen years old this year, although she is a generation apart, she has played together since she was a child, and her relationship is very good. When Xu Miaojin got married, it was a pity that Xu Jingchang was not in Beijing.

This time, she heard that Xu Jingchang returned to Beijing and called out, pinched her fingers, and knew that the next time she allowed a foreign man to enter the palace was after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she couldn't wait, so after knowing that Xu Jingchang entered the palace today, she begged Yun Xi to agree to her meeting with Xu Jingchang.

Xu Jingchang took a closer look, and knew that the palace maids behind Xu Miaojin were all her own people who she brought into the palace from the Duke of Wei's mansion, and he immediately relaxed and said, "Auntie, you said it earlier!" I wouldn't have known if I had said it. ”

Xu Miaojin said: "How could I have the opportunity to say it earlier? I entered the temple and just wanted to talk to you, but you spoke first. ”

Then Xu Miaojin came over and pinched Xu Jingchang's cheek with his hand and smiled: "But Jingchang, you are very progressive!" When I saw my aunt, the first thing I thought of was whether His Majesty had permission or not, and it seems that this experience has greatly improved you. ”

Xu Jingchang helplessly let her pinch her face. Since he was a child, Xu Miaojin has relied on himself to be two or three months older than Xu Jingchang after all, and he is an elder, and he often 'bullies' him, pinching his face is just the most ordinary kind of ravage. Xu Jingchang, a well-known gentleman in the capital, has always been oppressed by his aunt at home, and no one believes him.

After listening to Xu Miaojin's words, Xu Jingchang said even more helplessly: "Auntie, I grew up in the Wei State Mansion, and I can think of this little thing without going out to practice." ”

"Yes, you are also the son of the fourth brother, even if you don't do business all day long, you will have some insight."

The two laughed for a while, and Xu Jingchang said to Xu Miaojin: "My aunt won't just want to bully me when she calls me today." ”

Xu Miaojin smiled: "So, no? Then Xu Miaojin looked at Xu Jingchang's expression and said even more helplessly: "Forget it, I won't tease you, my aunt sees that you really have something to say, so I ask you to pass the word to the eldest brother." ”

"When you came back from the South Seas, you saw Xiaoliuqiu, that small island off the coast of Huanjian, right?"

"Of course, we stayed on the island for a while, measured the depth, and came back with some seeds."

"Jingchang, I recently learned that His Majesty seems to be intent on bringing this island under the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

"Included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty? It's like His Majesty's style. It's probably another prince to go out. I don't know which prince it will be. ”

"No, Jingchang, I think Your Majesty means not to divide the prince, but to divide it into the province of Yingjian and slowly develop it."

"Oh, I see. But what does this have to do with our family? ”

"Of course it does. Because, I think, so that our family can be the same as the Mu family in Yunnan. ”

Xu Miaojin continued: "In the newly incorporated places, there are many people, and there must be someone to guard them. I want the fourth brother or simply the eldest brother to fight for this position, as long as I can guard it for a longer time, maybe we can make our family the same as the Mu family. Xiaoliuqiu is another island, as long as there is no danger at all without a sailor, His Majesty will not care too much. ”

Xu Jingchang understood what Xu Miaojin meant. Although it is beautiful to stay in the capital, it is also a companion to the king, and if it loses the trust of the emperor, it is just a wooden brand. And holding real power in the local area, although it is not beautiful, but the heart is more down-to-earth. Yunnan's sister Mu Sheng married Zhu Yang as the princess, and she holds the military power in her hands, so her life is not too nourishing.

It's just that Xu Jingchang said: "Auntie, if our family goes to Xiaoliuqiu, what will you do?" Without the support of his relatives, he couldn't compete for the crown prince at all. ”

Xu Miaojin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Now that there is a prince, what are you talking about!" ”

Xu Jingchang immediately realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, but fortunately, the people at the scene were all his own people who leaked it out, otherwise he would have been given death for this sentence, and the Wei State Mansion might still be implicated.

Xu Miaojin then said very quietly: "Jingchang, my aunt didn't think about making her child the prince, and she will be satisfied if she can find a good place to be crowned king in the future." ”

"My aunt didn't think she would marry into the palace at first, everything was accidental, and there were not too many extravagant expectations. Besides, if you do well outside, your aunt's position in the palace will be more stable. ”

Xu Jingchang didn't want to talk about this anymore, he was concerned about the question he was most concerned about when he just knew that Xu Miaojin entered the palace: why did Xu Miaojin marry into the palace.

Xu Jingchang said: "Auntie, why did you marry into the palace to marry Your Majesty?" When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it for three days. Auntie, didn't you say that you wouldn't be a concubine? ”

Xu Miaojin showed an uncertain look on her face, but she didn't answer Xu Jingchang's question, but just said, "You haven't been home yet, have you?" You can go home and ask your eldest brother. Okay, it's almost time, you hurry out of the palace. Then he pushed Xu Jingchang out.

Xu Jingchang had no choice but to be pushed out of the palace by her. At the end of the farewell, Xu Miaojin whispered to Xu Jingchang: "My aunt has no regrets about entering the palace, although there are some family considerations, but my aunt does not dislike Your Majesty. ”

……

……

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Xu Huizu was silent after listening to Xu Jingchang's words, but Xu Zengshou said: "Big brother, don't you really want to go to Xiaoliuqiu to open up wasteland, this is not a good thing." ”

"Yunnan has been belonging to the Han people since the Han Dynasty, and after more than 1,000 years of development, it is not so desolate; But if you go to Xiaoliuqiu and really start from scratch, it will be a lot more painful. ”

"Big brother, I'm not afraid of hardship, if I am asked to lead the troops to fight, I won't frown, but this is not only hard to reclaim wasteland, but the credit is estimated to be few decades, it is better to fight."

"Besides, our family is already the first family of the Ming Dynasty, giving up all this just to seek stability? What if it can't be cleared? Isn't there even a way out? ”

"This is not without precedent. After the rebellion of Li Tang Anshi, the land west of the river was lost, and the people and hereditary generals there were not all found? ”

Xu Huizu listened to Xu Zengshou's words, and thought about Xu Miaojin's words conveyed by Xu Jingchang, which was difficult to decide. Both sides have a point, and it is difficult for him to judge. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "If only the family could be divided into two." ”
