The welcoming ceremony was solemn, at least for the natives, who had never seen such a grand spectacle. Of course, in their eyes, this is also a matter of course, after all, these people are the heavenly officials from the Ming Dynasty of the Celestial Empire!

After the grand welcome ceremony, it is natural to kill cattle to reward these "heavenly soldiers" from afar, piles of beef and fruits, and even wine, of course, there are many dancing girls, in the cheerful music, the atmosphere of the scene has also reached its peak.

As a believer, Arauddin himself is not allowed to drink, however, he is not a devout believer, and even his ancestors became believers because of the Three Jewels Eunuch - as a believer it is easier to get his support, which is also the fundamental reason for the founding of Malacca.

After a few bowls of the Celestial Empire's champion red belly, Ah Laoding, who was already drunk, looked at the wooden wall built behind him and said.

"Small, small ministers, see that the heavenly officials are here, building a city here, mo, do you want to stay here? ……”

Through Li Tianci's translation, after knowing his problem, Shi Yiwen nodded and said.

"King, decades ago, His Majesty learned that Malacca was invaded by Western Hongmaoyi, it can be said that he was anxious, but it is a pity that there were many things in the country back then, and he could not send troops to help you recover Malacca, so he has been blaming himself, and to this day, His Majesty is determined to innovate, and naturally cannot tolerate Hongmaoyi occupying my Ming land and threatening my Ming courtiers, so he sent him to build a city here, one is to protect Su Fan, and the other is to send troops to recover Malacca when the time is ripe"......

After learning what the heavenly official said from Li Tianci, Ah Lao Ding immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and said a string of local words that no one could understand.

"Ahh The emperor's grace, the ministers have nothing to repay, but they are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty with broken bones......"

Is that what he said?

Shi Yiwen looked at Li Tianci curiously, looking at this guy who regarded himself as a Ming countryman. Seeing that Tianguan's eyes were on him, Li Tianci just smiled, and then said a few words to Su Dan.

After hearing Li Tianci's words, Ah Lao Ding, who was originally kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a while, and then nodded again and again, as if agreeing with something.

"Report to the Heavenly Officials, since the army of the Celestial Empire is going to be stationed here, Araudin is willing to dedicate all this place and Bintan Island to the Ming Dynasty......"

What the!

Although Shi Yiwen, who had originally made up his mind to let this chieftain cede this island first, did not expect the other party to be so upright, he actually took the initiative to cede the land.

"Please don't refuse, this is the villain's heart!"

When the long bow passed over the top, Li Tianci said softly.

Almost the moment he saw the wooden wall, Li Tianci guessed what these adults from the Celestial Empire wanted to do? They definitely didn't pass through here, but they wanted to stay here for a long time, and as a Ming man who grew up here, he naturally wanted to see the Celestial Empire build a city here. That's why he had an idea, and changed Shi Yiwen's words on his own initiative, and then suggested that Su Dan dedicate these "small islands" to Daming, first, to "drive the tiger and devour the wolf", and second, to borrow troops to protect himself.

Arauddin, who had been worried for many years that he would be taken by the Acehnese and made him a prisoner, would refuse such a good thing, and almost without thinking agreed, for in his opinion, to be able to lean on such a big tree was simply the blessing of God. ，

And Li Duyi, who was an official of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the scene in front of him even more dumbfounded, and he even muttered to himself.

"That's it, that's it......"

The reason why Li Duyi was dumbfounded was because yesterday's conquest seemed to him to be nothing more than a "farce", and the farce in front of him was even more unexpected to him.

The dignified king of the earth is so willing to dedicate the land to the Ming Dynasty, which is too unbelievable!

Everything that followed, for Li Duyi, was like witnessing an incredible drama, he looked at Shi Yiwen praising the soil king's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but he said "righteous and strict" that he must not take advantage of the soil king, but the soil king was excited to send the land out, and recently "forced to help", Shi Yiwen expressed his willingness to buy these places for 4000 taels of silver, so that the guests and hosts are happy. Of course, I also saw how the king of the earth patted his chest and said that he would send 2,000 strong men to help the Ming Dynasty build the city, in a word, the king of the earth in front of him was like a "fool" who not only sold the land to the Ming Dynasty, but also sent the strong men to build the city.

This...... It's incredible, isn't it?

Although he was extremely surprised, Li Duyi still had to admit that this may be the cheapest "expansion of territory" in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but it is so far away from the Ming Dynasty, how will the Ming Dynasty rule this land in the future?

“…… After the completion of this city, Nantianmen and Johor are neighbors, as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, and the two places are also closely related. It is my responsibility to protect Johor. Those Hongyi bandits only know how to loot, and they don't know how to make a living, so they will make this fertile land into a miasma. When the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers arrive in the future, they will definitely be able to sweep away the filth of this place like a clear spring. ”

Seeing that Shi Yiwen said so righteously, another thought popped up in Li Duyi's heart, he was so attentive to this place, could it be ...... Is it for yourself?

And not just for yourself!

Finally, when the banquet was over, Shi Yiwen, who was already drunk, staggered to the beach, felt the breeze blowing from the sea, and stared at the endless sea, although he didn't know how big Bintan Island was, but he was still sure that as long as there was the "South Heavenly Gate" composed of these islands, the threat of modern times would never come from the sea again.

"First the South Heavenly Gate, then the ......"

"The little one has seen the Director-General."

Suddenly, the voice behind him interrupted Shi Yiwen's thoughts, and he looked back at Li Duyi, and he smiled.

"It turned out to be Li Tianci, oops, this time you can sign a subordinate treaty with the chieftain, you have made a great contribution to the imperial court! After returning to the court, the official will definitely truthfully show your merits to His Majesty, and when the time comes, the court will definitely reward you! ”

Hearing this, Li Tianci's face couldn't help but burn, and he hurriedly said.

"The general secretary is polite, the small, the small one just did what a Ming person should do, and he never thought of any reward."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Shi Yiwen looked at Li Tianci, and then asked rhetorically.

"Then you tell this official, what is the thing that Ming people should do?"

"Back to the General Division, although the villain is in a foreign land, he has never dared to forget that he is a Ming person, since he is a Ming person, he should serve the court, and safeguarding the interests of the Ming Dynasty is what I should do......"
