Robbed another colonial point, and after the replenishment was completed, the fleet of the overseas branch of the Daming Royal Trading Company finally lowered the pirate flag and replaced it with its own Mingzi flag, which was a big red background with a golden sun designed by himself, and in the middle of the sun was a block letter, which was also the national flag that Zhu Youxiao was preparing to hang in the future.

Sail all the way west along the shallow waters on the edge of the Arabian Sea, compared to the deep sea area, the wind and waves here are much smaller, and there is no too bad climate along the way, because of the use of dual power, there is no wind to sail, so this time the time is not too long, more than 20 days to the Somali Peninsula in the future, and then along the coastline all the way south, and then at the end of August to the coast of Samgi, here I met Chen Qingyun, perhaps because of the good mood, the old man's body is now better than last year, Leading a huge family is not afraid of tiredness at all.

To the surprise of Duanwang Zhu Changhao, Huiwang Zhu Changrun, Guiwang Zhu Changying, Fuwang's prince Zhu Yousong and Sun Yuzhi, Chen Qingyun took them into the small city gate with three big characters "New Daimyo Mansion", Sun Yuzhi asked: "Mr. Chen, why is this small city called Daimyo's Mansion?" Is that your name? ”

Chen Qingyun laughed: "Yes, this city is called the Daimyo's Mansion, and the old man's ancestral home is the Daimyo's Mansion, at that time it was still in the pre-Song Dynasty, and now we still have the Daimyo's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty?" In order to let his children and grandchildren always remember that he is a descendant of China, the old man named it the New Daimyo Mansion. We entered the city, and the old man had prepared a banquet to entertain the princes, and we will talk in detail there. ”

In the most luxurious restaurant in the new Daimyo's mansion, Chen Qingyun and his family warmly received Zhu Changrun and his party, and after three rounds of drinking, Chen Qingyun sighed and told Niu Jinxing and Yu Hualong what happened after they left: "Since Mr. Niu and General Yu Hualong came here, even if my clansmen found a backer, Mr. Niu also left us a team of more than 100 people, so that they can obey my dispatch, and the one next to him is the captain Chen Cheng, they are too powerful, they helped to lay down this piece of land, Let's survive. ”

It turned out that after Niu Jinxing and they left, Chen Qingyun became the chief of this tribe of more than 5,000 people with their might, and used the things left by Niu Jinxing to trade with nearby tribes, and gradually became the richest tribe in this area. This territory is now nearly 100,000 square miles, Chen Qingyun renamed the river where the port is located as the Daiming River, and the small city is called the New Daiming Mansion, which is a new territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the population has reached more than 40,000.

In order to completely control this place, Chen Qingyun implemented a series of enlightened policies, while lightly dispensing with small endowments, while letting those subjugated tribes settle down, forming some villages along the Daming River, and then teaching those indigenous people how to farm the land, turning them into a farming people, when Niu Jinxing left, he left them some grain, such as corn, wheat, and beans, and took these as seeds, this year's harvest is not bad, and he is ready to reclaim all the places around here, and there will be a lot of grain next year. Enough for them to eat, and they won't go hungry anymore.

Listening to Chen Qingyun's chattering narration, these people not only sighed, it seems that no matter where the descendants of China take root, there will be a relatively civilized agrarian society in Chengdu.

Duan Wang Zhu Changhao told Chen Qingyun on behalf of Zhu Youxiao that since you have created a great foundation here, you can either open the country or become the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, which needs to be chosen by yourself, but no matter how you choose, the Ming Dynasty will always be your strong backing, and whenever you need help, the Ming Dynasty will help you unconditionally. Zhu Youxiao means that you had better establish a country, which can accept the immigrants of the Ming Dynasty in the future, after all, you have been here for a long time, and you have been recognized by the locals, and you can better cover the expansion of the Ming Dynasty's power here by founding your own country, and it will not cause too much disgust.

According to Chen Qingyun's original idea of becoming the overseas vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, he can be justifiably called the Ming people, but Zhu Youxiao's idea is more practical, and letting him build his own independent country will be more helpful to the interests of the Ming Dynasty. So Chen Qingyun changed the name of his new Daimyo Mansion to the Daimyo Kingdom, and he became the first Tuwang. In this way, there was the first Chinese king Chen Qingyun in this land of Africa, and his son Chen Liang was the second king of the land, until it later expanded into the United Kingdom of Daimyo and implemented a constitutional monarchy.

Zhu Changhao and the others still need Chen Qingyun's help, because they are not familiar with the situation here. Chen Qingyun also needed the assistance of the Ming Dynasty, the economy here was still very backward, and he needed a large number of craftsmen and technicians to help establish an advanced economic system.

After more than a month of running-in, investigation, and exploration, Duanwang Zhu Changhao and the others finally figured out the situation nearby, and left dozens of craftsmen to Chen Qingyun to help build some small workshops and iron-making and steel-making, which are all basic construction that must be possessed, and are the basis for the future kingship and hegemony. Then he led the fleet of the overseas branch of the Daming Royal Trading Company to march to the country of Layer, preparing to conquer this small island country.

Now this Ming caravan still has more than 150 armed merchant ships and warships, and the strategy formulated by Duanwang Zhu Changhao is to first make a small island and then the main island, so that most of the Arabs can be driven to the main island, as for the indigenous blacks, they are all working and working, don't worry, especially this time they also brought a lot of indigenous blacks from the Daimyo Kingdom to appease, which can make them relax and work.

After the battle began, Zhu Yousong found that in fact, there were not a few people on many small islands, and an armed merchant ship could solve the problem, so he scattered the ships, and for the sake of insurance, two ships in a group, cleaning up the islands one by one, all the Arabs were killed, and the blacks were appeased by the people of the Daimyo Kingdom, and in a few days, the Arabs fled to the two main islands when they heard the news, and the Pemba Island was relatively small, and the Arabs did not dare to defend it, leaving those black slaves to guard their homes, and they all fled to the city of Zanzibar on Anguja Island. This is a famous stone city, which is generally difficult to break, which is why the Arabs dare to hold on here, and even the black people on the island have never broken through this stone city in several rebellions, and they have great confidence in this, not to mention that they also bought large artillery from the Portuguese, there are more than fifty of them, all installed on the city wall, which can be described as impregnable.

Stone Town is located on a peninsula in the middle of the west coast of Anguja Island, which is difficult to attack under normal circumstances, and ordinary boats are not close to it, and there are artillery on land, these Arabs are very relieved. Zhu Yousong, who was commanding on the front line of the battlefield, ordered his soldiers to land on the north and south sides of Angujia Island, and then encircle them in the center. The blacks were not eligible to enter Stone Town, but they were Arabs, and there were a small number of mixed-race people, which was a very small part, because they were basically forbidden to intermarry. When approaching the range of the Stone Town artillery, the troops stopped advancing to avoid casualties. However, this firing range was roughly estimated by Zhu Yousong, the distance from the city wall was about three miles, and it was still on the hillside, which happened to be the maximum effective distance for the Ming army's cannon fire, and the mortars were the best distance on this hillside. In modern artillery, the cannon can hit more than ten miles or even dozens of miles away, but it can't be done with the current technology of the Ming Dynasty, it is too heavy to carry on the march, in fact, it is more suitable to be called an infantry cannon, and it can be carried by a few people.

The Arabs in Stone Town did see the Ming army on the hillside, but the main angle of their artillery was facing the front door, and now the muzzle of the cannon had to be readjusted. Zhu Yousong asked the soldiers to start test firing after building the artillery position, but unfortunately, the range of these cannons just couldn't hit the city wall, so he had to find a new way. Let's try the mortars again, so the mortars in a row began to be test-fired, and the effect was so good that it almost hit the center of Stone Town. Zhu Yousong gave an order, don't be afraid of wasting ammunition, bomb me fiercely, covering bombing.
