The sea water of Champa Harbor is as blue as a jewel, and there were ships from all over the world here, and even before Japan closed the country, there were thousands of merchants and merchants, and there were thousands of Ming merchants, and there was a stone tower at the entrance of the port, standing on the seaside, guiding the merchant ships of various countries that sailed here.

In the past half month, dozens of warships flying the Ming flag sailed into this harbor, and the former lord of the city of Champa and now the lord of Champa proclaimed the consolation of Bo Suo and the admiral of Champa Sun Anbang in the port to welcome the arrival of the fleet, and to their surprise, there is also a big man on the fleet - the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty.

For Bo Suo, the arrival of the Son of Heaven is undoubtedly an unexpected joy, in order to avoid the land occupied by the Ruan clan, he sacrificed his land to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and from the king to the Xuan Xuan envoy has not changed much, and even this Champa is safer than in the past - hundreds of garrisons of the Ming Dynasty to ensure the safety here, and in order to be able to let these Ming troops stay here with peace of mind, he even married his daughter to Sun Anbang as a concubine, and even married the daughters of the Cham nobles to the Ming army, and rewarded them with land and tenant farmers.

Despite this, Bo Suo was still a little uneasy, because he knew that as long as the emperor issued a holy decree, these Ming troops would leave, leaving with their wives and children, without even the slightest nostalgia, after all, Zhancheng was just a place outside the world, and the prosperity was far less than that of the Heavenly Empire. However, the arrival of the emperor brought him an unexpected surprise, not only officially recognized his act of dedicating the land to surrender, but also changed the Xuanzhi envoy to "Cheng Xuan Political Envoy", which is equivalent to the inclusion of Zhancheng as a province of China, and even gave the country the surname Yu Posuo, and named him "Guiyi Hou".

For Zhu Suo, who changed his name from the Tufan chieftain to the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally grateful to the emperor, in order to welcome him, he not only gave up the Sanskrit-style palace, but also personally acted as a guard for the emperor.

Compared with the cold reception in Myanmar, and even house arrest and all kinds of humiliation, the respect of this "Guiyi Marquis" made Yongli monarchs and ministers feel the respect they had not seen for a long time, so that in this Champa palace, Zhu Youlang himself had a feeling of being happy.

Although once upon a time, he also thought about returning to Daming, but for him who had been displaced for more than ten years, it was here that he really enjoyed real stability in Zhancheng for more than ten years.

"Eighteen years!"

In this magnificent Sanskrit-style palace, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but say to the queen beside him.

"For the first time in eighteen years, I can feel a little at ease."

From August of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army captured Changsha, Hunan, Zhu Youlang fled south with his father, separated from his father in the stone period south of Yongzhou, and was captured by the Great Western Army. From then on, until now, although he later succeeded to the throne as emperor, Zhu Youlang never had the slightest peace of mind, that is, after coming to Zhancheng, his panicked mind finally calmed down.

"Queen, you see, in the past, everyone said that the land of Tiannan was a barbarian land, where hysteria was rampant and characters could not stay for a long time, but you look at this city, how can it be so?"

For Zhu Youlang, who has been displaced for more than ten years, it has always been difficult for him to imagine that there is such a city and such a port in this "barbarian land". The walls of this city are made of bricks and stones, the city is several miles long, and outside this tall city wall, there are many Sanskrit stupas. The occupants in the city are also warm and polite, although they have short hair and bare feet, but the sincerity of treating people is far beyond the imagination of Zhu Youlang's ministers.

It is precisely because of their enthusiasm that Zhu Youlang has a rare heart for staying here.

"If I can live in Champa for a long time, I will be at ease......"

As soon as he said this, the queen Wang easily persuaded him.

"Your Majesty, as the king of a country, how can you say such discouraged words when my Ming soldiers are fighting bloody battles against the Qing Dynasty and recovering the rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty?"

Two years ago, when she fled into Myanmar, the nobles, palace maids, and ministers' wives and daughters felt that the end was near, and they committed suicide by hanging trees. Whenever she heard these unfortunate news, Queen Wang cried and said to the people around her, "I am not a person without temperament, but I still have the Empress Dowager Ma to take care of." If I die, what will happen to the emperor and the queen mother? I can't die". Although he was seriously ill when he was in Myanmar, he has been dragging his seriously ill body to barely support the endgame.

It was only after arriving in Pingnan City that her anxious mind finally relaxed, and it was there that the imperial doctor got the medicine she needed from the fleet, so that her figure improved. For Queen Wang, who has a calm personality, she naturally doesn't want to see the emperor give birth to such frustrating words.

"Hey, I won't say this discouragement in the future......"

Zhu Youlang sighed, he has always been in awe of the queen, and when the queen said this, he naturally stopped saying such things, but in his heart, he was willing to enjoy the peace of the city, and even for him, if he could live here for a long time, there would be no worries about the world, but it would be a happy life......

The emperor is like this, those ministers who survived under the Burmese butcher's knife, the same is true, for this minister who finally escaped in the Burmese butcher's knife, going to sea from Pingnan City is no less than rushing to the execution ground, and even when leaving Pingnan City, I don't know how many ministers are crying, and even want to ask the emperor for mercy, stay in Pingnan, or go to Dingnan to help Qianguo fairly determine the southwest, of course, for such a request, Yongli will naturally not agree, he needs to have ministers around him to give him advice, What's more, even if they were willing, Mu Tianbo would not be willing to have these civil officials around him.

The hearts of these ministers were filled with fear of the future of the sea, and when they boarded the ship, they reported their mortal hearts, and after leaving Pingnan, as long as the fleet was close to the port, they would rush to escape from their ships, come to the shore, and then there they were unwilling to continue sailing under the pretext of physical and other reasons, and when they were at Nantianmen, they entered the city of Nantianmen one after another, and then hid in it under the pretext of being sick, unwilling to continue sailing. It took a full month before he got on the ship again with a sad face under the emperor's will, and continued the voyage back to Daming.

After coming to the city, at the beginning, they were all worried, but soon, the enthusiasm of the people of the city was also grateful to them, and the long-lost respect made them regain the dignity of the people in the upper position, and they were unbridled in their pleasure and fun, even the elders who were nearly seventy years old did not care about the decent acceptance of several concubines in the city, so presumptuous did not have the dignity of the ministers of the Heavenly Empire.

“…… I heard that yesterday Lord Liu actually changed into a native dress and slept with two native women, and one of them was just an ordinary maid,"

When referring to the absurdity of the ministers of the DPRK and China, the tone of the admiral on the left wing of the fleet was full of contempt.

"This Champa is different from China, although Champa believes in Buddhism, but its people are divided into high and low, noble and low, even if they are looking for fun, they should not lose their identity so much, and make peace with ordinary maids, such behavior is not only insulting, but also will make people and ego!"

Listening to his subordinates' words, Wang Anmin just smiled slightly, and then smiled.

"It's up to them, it's a good thing that they're so happy, if I had known that they like to occupy the city so much, I'm afraid there is really no need to ......"

As soon as the words came to his lips, Wang Anmin thought that welcoming the saint in Taiwan was a secret that only a few people knew, at least before arriving in Taiwan, he must not tell others about this matter, otherwise once Li Dingguo arrived in Zhancheng, no one knew what would happen, after all, in the eyes of Li Dingguo and others, the emperor and the imperial court were going to return to Nanjing, not Taiwan.

If you had known that the emperor and the princes of the court liked to occupy the city, they really shouldn't have practiced in Taiwan! The silver for building the palace is enough to build dozens of warships.

It's a shame.

Although he felt such a pity in his heart, Wang Anmin said quietly.

"There's really no need to bring them back from Pingnan, now, those Burmese people don't respect me much worse than Zhanren!"

"What the Admiral said is that this barbarian who has been respected since ancient times is only the power of China, not the education of me. If I am powerless in China, then the barbarians will naturally bully me in all kinds of ways in China, and this has been the case throughout the ages. ”

"But that's not the truth, it's a pity, there are always some people, can't figure out the truth, not my race, their hearts will be different, if they can't use force, how can they make him fearful, if they don't fear, how can they obey my education, just like this Manchu Qing, my Chinese strength is weak, and it slaughters more than 10,000 of my Han people, and the Burmese people also kill my king because of my weak Chinese strength, so barbaric......"

Shaking his head and sneering, Wang Anmin said in a slightly cruel voice.

"You have to use brute force to destroy its soul first, and then you can be edified. Otherwise, you can't be edified! ”

Then he turned his words, looked out the window, and said.

"Therefore, there is no need to worry about the natives despising me, as long as I am strong, the nobles will naturally be willing to offer their daughters on my couch to please me, and as for despising me...... And who are they to despise me? If he wants to despise me, I'm afraid he will have to ask me about the ship's guns first! ”

In Wang Anmin's words, there was a strong sense of self-confidence, which came from the confidence in strength, and at this moment, someone knocked on the cabin door, and before anyone could enter the cabin, the sound had already been heard.

"The Northern Expedition is over, the Northern Expedition is over, and the ships passing through Guangdong say that the army has made a Northern Expedition......"
