Chapter 523: The Western Regions of the South Seas

The details here are not in a hurry to be said on this day, so Zhu Di asked: "On the other side, Manraka, is the prince who escaped from the Three Buddhas willing to surrender to my Daming?" The holy decree had been sent out long before they came to Nanyang, so Zhu Di asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I have surrendered, and he personally came to me once last month, saying that he would surrender when King Pu was canonized by the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Mo said.

"He's kind of sensible." Zhu Di said: "Your Majesty has prepared two holy decrees for us to bring over, one is that if he is willing to surrender, then he will be named a marquis and sent back to the capital to live; If he does not want to surrender, he must sacrifice his head to the flag. ”

Zhu Mo disagrees with Zhu Di's murderous nature, in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty is the king in Nanyang, although all the Fanguo in Nanyang is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, but he still thinks that it is better to focus on Huairou and use soldiers as a supplement. However, at this time, since Prince Sriwijaya has surrendered, the second situation mentioned by Zhu Di is no longer possible, and he has another question to ask.

"Fourth brother, don't you leave him in the local area to stabilize the situation for the time being?"

"No, he's just a Manraka who Hongwu fled to for thirty years, and there are few people under him, and I don't think I need to use him after discussing it with Yun Xi." Zhu Di said.

Since both of them thought so, Zhu Mo didn't say much. It's just that he remembered something again and asked, "What did Yun Xi send two more guards to do?" Is there another war to be fought in the South Seas? ”

Hearing him talk about this, Zhu Di said: "It was Yunxi who heard that the Bolin State wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and then knew that the Bolin State was now also ruled by the Han people, and it was still a Jiangyang thief who was rampant in the South China Sea, and he was afraid that he would have any bad intentions, so he sent two more guards." ”

"I see. Chen Zuyi's sailor does have some strength enough to deal with the two guards of the Ming Dynasty, but since he is willing to pay tribute, it means that he will not have any bad intentions, Yun Xi is too careful. Zhu Mo said.

He probably didn't know how much the shock to Nanyang was by sending two more water guards over. During this period, countless small Nanyang countries sent envoys to the old port to carefully listen to the news; The local magnates also asked me what my majesty meant. ”

"And what did you say to them?" Zhu Di asked.

"What else can I say, tell them that Da Ming intends to explore the West. But I don't think they believe it. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, though. Zhu Mo said.

Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Do you think this Chen Zuyi is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Fourth brother, what do you mean, is Chen Zuyi willing to join the Su Domain?" Zhu Mo smiled: "I can't say this well. However, he has always been a Jiangyang thief before, and he may not be willing to be restrained. ”

"What if I don't restrain him for the time being? Let his territory remain unchanged, his soldiers remain unchanged, and his civil and military officials will be appointed by themselves, but they will nominally obey the Su vassal state, and follow us when they fight; Would he be willing to take refuge in that way? And not for the monarch of the country? Zhu Di said.

"Fourth brother," Zhu Mo said with some surprise: "You, are you willing to give up power?" In his impression, Zhu Di is not such a person.

"Your Majesty is willing to delegate power, why can't I?" Zhu Di said such a sentence, and seeing that they didn't believe it, he said with a smile: "Naturally, I won't let him be like this forever, but now the first thing is to occupy the whole island, and it doesn't hurt to let him be free for a while." ”

"Of course," Zhu Di turned back to Zhu Gaoxu and said: "Gaoxu, you are the king of Su, everything is up to you to make up your mind last, Dad is just a suggestion." ”

"Dad's words are very good, first pacify the whole island and then deal with these people who listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, and my son has no objection." Zhu Gaoxu said. But whether he thinks so in his heart or not, only he knows.

The few people discussed a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, they dispersed to rest.

Beginning the next day, Zhu Di and Gao Xu met with countless locals, including wealthy families, temple monks, and Han leaders who had lived in the local area for a long time.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu said half-truths and half-truths with these people, and made countless promises to reassure these people.

Although Zhu Di has always been decisive, he hid all his sharp side at this time, and also showed his devotion to Buddhism, which successfully reassured the locals.

Zhu Mojian had stabilized, and took his left and right ministers to his fiefdom in South Borneo.

A few days later, Zhu Di and Zhu Xianhui went to Manraka with a guard sailor to take over the power of the fleeing prince of Srivijaya. Zhu Gaoxu looked at his father's back and said, "Father, stay in Manraka for a few more days, don't you still want to build the city of Puluozhong?" Repair it slowly, and come back when the castle is repaired. ”

Northwest, Hami City.

Zhu Shangbing rode a horse and slowly stomped into the city.

The black fire man who was side by side with him smiled: "How is Shang Bing? We're not lying. For more than three months, let you govern Hami City; And, not a single knife or shot has been used, so that your army does not lose a single person. If you don't have our help, you will take Hami by force, and even if you take it, you will definitely lose a lot of troops. ”

Zhu Shangbing looked at the people in the city with an unknown meaning on their faces, and said secretly in his heart: "If it weren't for your help, although it would definitely lose a lot of troops, the defeat of Hami would be enough to deter the Mongols and Vultures in the city, and it would not be like now." After that, it is necessary to completely stabilize Hami and make it a stable capital. ’

But the matter has come to this point, of course Zhu Shangbing will not withdraw from Hami City again, and the kindness of the black man has to be accepted: "Thank you, big brother." ”

"That's according to the agreement,......," said the Black Flame Man.

"According to the agreement in advance, allocate 50,000 stone of grain from the warehouse to you, eldest brother, and you can send troops to get it immediately." Zhu Shangbing said.

"That's fine. Although I am not poor, I am not poor, but I have a large population, and the more food the better. The Black Flame Man laughed.

"Big brother, this Meng Ke Timur is also from your Golden Family's Chagatai lineage, big brother take them to Beshbali. I am not from the Golden Family, not even a Mongol, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for Hami City to settle down if I stay in the city. Zhu Shangbing looked at the black fireman's face a little hesitant, and then said: "Even if I beg the eldest brother." ”

The Black Flame Man was indeed hesitant. Now their great enemy is the Timurid Empire, and he will not deliberately leave Mengke Timur in Hami to deliberately make trouble for Zhu Shangbing, he really doesn't want to take Mengke Timur away.

Anke Timur, the elder brother of Timur, was imprisoned by his tricks, and they all hated him now, and he did not want to keep his enemies in his own capital.

But Zhu Shangbing's request for people like this, and the argument of punishing the heart, he couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll take them to another eighteen miles." But you're not from our Golden Family, but you're not the son of Kotmoor's sister? Half of our Mongolian blood can also be considered Mongolian. ”

Hearing the words of the Black Flame Man, Zhu Shangbing said: "Big brother, you don't know that Min Min Temur is just my mother-in-law, not my biological mother. ”

"Alas, according to your Han Chinese, all the children are the sons of their mothers-in-law, so you are also half Mongolian." Said the Black Flame Man.

Zhu Shangbing didn't know why the Black Flame Man must have made him a Mongol, but there was no need to argue too much with him about this, and said with a smile: "Then I am half a Mongol." ”

After that, he changed the subject: "Big brother, stay in my Hami City tonight." No matter how you take the city, you must celebrate. I opened another bottle of the fine wine I had brought from the Central Plains and let my eldest brother drink it. ”

"That's good, just as I've finished drinking all the wine I got from you last time." The Black Flame Man laughed.

Zhu Shangbing heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Big brother, you have drunk three bottles of my wine, but I haven't drunk a single bottle of your wine." When you go to Bei Eighteen Miles in a few months, don't be stingy. ”

"Of course not. My Tibetan wine, even if it comes from the West, you can drink it as you like. The Black Flame Man said proudly.

"By the way, I haven't seen your granddaughter who promised to give my son yet, so it's time to take a look." Zhu Shangbing said suddenly.

"Haha, Shang Bing, are you still afraid that my granddaughter Ulan Tuya is not good-looking? I have betrothed my most beautiful granddaughter to your son. But you should take a good look, this is your future eldest daughter-in-law, and she is also the queen of the future Qin State. ”

"Also, you can send a few Han gentlemen to teach Ulan Tuya Chinese and Chinese characters. Although she is only three years old, she has already begun to speak, so that she can speak Chinese since she was a child, and she will not be able to speak with your son in the future. Said the Black Flame Man.

"Why should I send someone to Bei Eighteen Li, send Ulan Tuya to Hami, and be taught by my princess, just so that the two of them can grow up together and have a deeper relationship." Zhu Shangbing said.

"Ulan Tuya is only three years old, and it is when he is still relying on his mother, so it is better to stay in Bei Eighteen Li first. You can't let me send my daughter-in-law to Hami too. The Black Flame Man said meaninglessly.

If children grow up in Hami, how much can they identify with the Chagatai Khanate? How much can you identify with the Mongols? Maybe he grew up thinking that he was Han, so what was the use of him marrying a granddaughter? This is categorically not possible.

After a while, Zhu Shangbing said: "Since this is the case, let's wait until Ulan Tuya is a few years older." "Now, although the Ming Dynasty is the strongest in the tripartite cooperation between the Ming Dynasty, Yili Baal and Warat, but in the northwest, the strength of the Qin State is far inferior to that of Yili Baal and Warat, and he has no way to force the Black Flame to do anything.

Speaking of this, the atmosphere between the two of them was a little stiff. However, Zhu Shangbing immediately talked about something else, and the atmosphere between the two became harmonious again, and they went to the dinner place hand in hand.

But Zhu Shangbing secretly said in his heart: "Sooner or later, one day, I will conquer the entire Western Regions, and I don't have to look at other people's faces here." ’
