Alfonso, like Andra, was also very unfamiliar when he saw the Ming sail warship, he had seen the Ming Dynasty's Cantonese merchant ships, but he did not expect that the Ming warships would have such a big difference with the Cantonese ships, but in any case, Alfonso decided to send his own Francophone warship to meet the Ming warship.

The Franc machine warship is also known as the centipede ship, the biggest feature of the ship is that there are many rows of oars on both sides of the ship, similar to a centipede, the ship is not only light and fast, but also equipped with the Franc cannon, which can quickly hit the enemy ship and quickly break through and escape.

Alfonso sent ten Franco-warships, a total of fifteen warships, and he believed that with the strength of his ten warships, he could defeat the five sail warships of the Ming Dynasty.

The sail warships of the Ming Dynasty have been improved from the hull to the sails, and the speed of fire and the range and accuracy of the guns are far superior to those of the Franc Machine.

When Alfonso's ten Franco-aircraft warships arrived, the five sail warships of the Ming Dynasty had already lined up in line and opened fire.

Rumble!

The fierce shells flew quickly over the blue sea and smashed directly into the bow or sail or board of the Franc warship.

Some of the Franc warships spun straight in place.

Some of the Franc warships were beaten to the point that sawdust flew sideways and shook violently.

However, there were still several of these Franc warships under the command of Alfonso who rushed towards the Ming warships, and the Ming warships turned in advance under the leadership of Wang Hong and directly attacked the side of the Franco warships under Alfonso's command, and dozens of artillery guns fired at once, and the flowering shells directly blew up these Franc warships and Franc planes.

Within half an hour, Alfonso's ten ships had been bombed, and his own flagship had fled in a hurry.

Alfonso looked at Daming's warship with palpitations, he didn't expect Daming's warship to be so powerful, looking at the nine warships he had damaged, he no longer had any heart to resist, and he was about to flee with the remaining six warships.

However, at this time, the rest of the Ming warships also surrounded, and the entire sea area near the port was full of Daming's battle flag, and the ship's giant cannon poked out of the window with his black metallic color, waiting for a Franc warship to leave the port.

Suddenly, countless huge cannons spewed tongues of fire, capsizing one after another towards the Franc warship.

"Ahh

In an instant, there were still the screams of countless Franc people as they were shelled.

Countless white waves stirred up and down the sea, and the Franc warship that had been broken into pieces of wood also turned into pieces of wood and rose and fell.

As the prime minister of the Manchurian Minister, he has no concept of military affairs, but he can see that the Ming artillery is far superior to the Franc machine, and as the vanguard of the five sail warships are far larger than the Franc warship, when he sees the Ming artillery bombarding the Franc warship, he also knows that the Ming sailor is a sure winner.

"Your Majesty is right, civilization will be able to defeat barbarism, Bintang Prince, see clearly, this is my Ming Wangshi! This is the effect of building a country with Confucianism! You take Persia in the Western Regions as the law, and you are willing to be backward, so you are invaded by the little Xiyi, and fifteen warships can destroy your country, which shows that the law of the country is not popular with the people! ”

Fu Jue touched his beard under his chin, and stood indifferently on the Da Ming Bao ship behind the artillery fire, and the mighty artillery in front of him gave him a lot of confidence and confidence, making him, a famous minister of science, feel that he has a lot of face, and even directly in Manraka Bintang Prince, he attributed all this to Confucianism.

And this prince of Bintang is obviously still a little stubborn and unwilling to believe that it is Confucianism that has created everything in the Ming Dynasty, so he has to ask in a very polite tone:

"Your Excellency, this king has heard that Confucianism does not attach importance to the skills of a hundred crafts, and the artillery of the Celestial Empire is so sharp and the warships are so magnificent, it should be the work of ink learning, and this king has heard that Confucianism does not have a very good opinion of your current emperor, His Majesty, saying that it only emphasizes miscellaneous learning and does not emphasize the doctrine of scriptures and righteousness, so shouldn't this be the work of one of your kings rather than the way of Confucian education?"

Fu Jue was a little embarrassed by the question of the prince of Bintang, and hurriedly snorted: "You are just hearsay, to establish a country with Confucianism is not to abandon a hundred schools, to Confucianism is the way to build a country, if the Ming Dynasty does not establish a country with Confucianism, how can Li Shu be peaceful, how can Li Shu be able to govern a hundred workers, no matter what, let you establish a country with Confucianism, it is Your Majesty's edict, after the Fran machine is expelled, you must immediately return to China to supervise the study!" ”

Fu Jue relied on the powerful Ming behind him to forcibly teach the Bintang prince of Manchuria, and the Bintang prince could only comply, and at the same time began to have some doubts in his heart, could it really be that Confucianism could make the country so powerful, or did the Ming Dynasty have more places that people needed to learn?

In any case, the prince of Bintang felt that it was necessary for him to meet His Majesty Zhu Houzhao, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in the future.

Although Fu Qi forcibly intimidated the prince of Bintang as an official of the Celestial Empire, but the question of the prince of Bintang also shocked him a little, and he had to start thinking secretly: "Confucianism is good at human ethics, but it has never been involved in the way of the hundred crafts, but governing the country is not the study, if you really want to make the Ming Dynasty long-term stability and prosperity, the real way of governing the country should not be Confucianism, what kind of knowledge should it be, should it be the study of the legal system that can cover all the national economy and people's livelihood?" ”

Fu Jue fell into deep thought, and the endless artillery fire made him, a famous minister of science, find that the teachings of a generation of saints seemed to be less beneficial to the empire than an invention of an ordinary technician, and he couldn't help but secretly muttered to himself again: "No, it's not like this, maybe it's just that we haven't comprehended the real learning, the real learning should be to let more people create new things, not let more people abide by the old things, what is the real learning!" ”

Fu Jue fell into a daze.

……

"How come, how can this be, what kind of empire are we facing, their warships and artillery are so powerful, my God, our Franc is going to be the most terrible opponent!"

Alfonso, the famous naval commander of the Franc Machine, chose to surrender, and he raised the white flag.

And Wang Hong, the commander of the Ming Dynasty, also ordered the Ming warships to stop the shelling, and took Alfonso and others prisoner to his own warship, and at the same time ordered the landing.

After Wang Hong led the Daming Navy Division to land on Manraka Batam, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Manraka and the exiled nobleman of Manraka Bintang Maharaja landed on Batam.

In the ninth year of Zhengde, Manraka was recovered by the Ming Dynasty from the hands of the Buddha Langji, but it also marked that Manraka entered the era of the common rule of the Ming Dynasty and the local nobles of Manraka, the Ming Dynasty was more like the emperor and the actual ruler of Manraka, and the royal family of Manraka was more like a puppet.

After the Ming Dynasty helped Manraka to restore the country, according to Zhu Houzhao's requirements, Fu Jue established the Ming Prime Minister's Yamen in the capital of Manchuria, and set up officials at all levels, and at the same time, Fu Jue also led the Manchurian long history, and was ordered to lead officials at all levels to let the prince of Bintang ascend the throne with Confucian etiquette, and the important ceremony at the time of the enthronement was to read out the Ming Emperor's will to grant the prince of Bintang as the head of state of Manchuria, and the prime minister as the highest military and political chief of Manchuria.

Fu Jue was bent on helping Manraka establish a Confucian order, and he never thought that Emperor Zhu Houzhao's will gave him, a Ming courtier, the power to control the entire Manchurian system, but it was precisely because of this that he, a famous minister of science, had a full play in Manraka, and he directly ordered Manraka to remove all Persian cultural symbols, and also demolished all the buildings in Persia, and at the same time required Manraka to implement the prefecture and county system, unify the use of Chinese, and forced the establishment of social studies in each county to create a imperial examination system.

Because after graduating from the Ming Dynasty, Bin Tang, the head of Manchuria, was forced by Fu Jue to have a daily prayer feast, and at that time, there were already many great Confucians in Manraka himself, and these Confucians were even more old-fashioned and stubborn than Fu Jue, and forcibly required the king of Manraka to be a virtuous king in line with Confucian etiquette.

Fu Jue originally just wanted to establish a Confucian country in Manchuria, but unconsciously, Manraka also followed the sinicization, in addition, even the currency of Manraka is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, all using the silver dollar made by the Ming Royal Bank, the silver dollar is the head of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, so that Zhu Yuanzhang's popularity in Manraka many years later has overshadowed the king of the dynasty.

Of course, Fu Jue's series of measures did not cause much resistance from the indigenous people of Manchuria, firstly, because the Franc Machine slaughtered this place first, and secondly, the remnants of the Manraka nobles did not have the idea of going against the Ming Dynasty because the Ming Dynasty also recognized the identity of the ruler, after all, they also knew that the Franc Machine could still make them lose the opportunity to exploit the indigenous people of Manchuria, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, in order to no longer be a nobleman in exile on the major islands, these Manraka nobles accepted the status of the Ming Emperor in Manraka.

The Ming Empire began to frantically dig ore in Manraka, and even directly smelted heavily polluting products, so that later it had to directly grab the rubber resources here, but these were all through the hands of the local rulers of Manraka, so some of the common people in Manraka who could not bear to be exploited only hated the local rulers of Manraka.

On the contrary, because the government and capitalists of the Ming Dynasty used these cheap Manraka laborers and also gave them a small amount of remuneration, these Manchurian people were still grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and even longed to become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In the tenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao officially issued an edict, and the world's soldiers and horses were renamed the army and navy, among which the Ming Dynasty and the Guangzhou Naval Division reorganized the South China Sea Fleet, and a part of the South China Sea Fleet was stationed in the city of Manraka, which is today's Singapore.

Because, under the instruction of Zhu Houzhao, Manraka had officially agreed to lease Haicheng to Daming as a military base, and the lease period was ninety-nine years, and the rent was one silver dollar a year.

Therefore, the navy of the Ming Dynasty can now be legally stationed here, of course, for a few years later, some people say that the Ming Dynasty is colonizing the area, and the Ming will not admit it, because after a few years, even the local residents of Haicheng are grateful to the Ming Dynasty, thinking that the Ming Dynasty gave them human rights, gave them advanced systems and ideas, and let them have prosperity.

In the eleventh year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao issued an edict again, because the migration of the people is difficult to prohibit and the ban is not conducive to the people's livelihood, and the road introduction system is banned, the people are allowed to handle the migration of household registration, and at the same time encourage the people to reclaim the famine and go north and go to the sea, so that as far as the north of the south of the desert and the south of Qiongzhou, there are more and more people in the Ming Dynasty and more and more Han people.

At the behest of Zhu Houzhao, Fu Qi, the prime minister of Manchuria, issued a decree on behalf of Bintang, the king of Manchuria, to grant permanent residency to the Ming Han people, and said that the criminal punishment of the Ming Han people was the responsibility of their household registration country, which means that the Ming Han people have the privilege of violating the law and not being punished in Manchuria, and Manraka has no extraterritorial jurisdiction over the Ming people.

Because of this, more and more Han people of the Ming Dynasty came to live in Manchuria, and even many Confucian scholars who were dissatisfied with politics in China came to settle here, regarding this place as a happy land, and enjoying the privileges brought by the Manraka government to these gentry here.

The local aristocrats and gentry of Manraka also tried their best to become Han Chinese, and even become people with Ming household registration, in order to obtain more privileges for themselves in Manraka.

It is the commoners of Manraka who are suffering, but these civilians of Manraka have not fallen into an existential crisis because of the loss of land and business opportunities because they have the Ming bloodsucking factory to feed while sucking blood, and even one or two of these commoners who are favored by God and rely on the Manraka imperial examination system to counterattack as nobles will also become the people of the Ming Dynasty after becoming Manraka nobles, and then return to Manraka to live the life of a privileged person.

Just as in World War II, the Japanese emperor was not punished by the United States, the world hegemon at that time, for invading China, the Ming Emperor at this time did not execute Alfonso, a prisoner of war, but castrated him and made him serve the Ming Dynasty for life.

Pires couldn't be happy when he looked at Manraka, who had been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, but he knew that he had to be happy now, because he was now an official of this empire, and he would enjoy the benefits of colonizing the world because he was an official of this empire.

Pires was glad that he did not become a lackey of Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, like Andra because of the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, plundering Portuguese merchant ships in the waters between Manraka and Sumatra, nor was he castrated for slaughtering humans like Alfonso, and he had to dig coal in the cold north for the rest of his life.

Pires was even more fortunate that there was actually a high-ranking official of the Ming Empire, a right-hand attendant named Xia Yan who was willing to personally go to the West to inspect the West, so that he could walk with him, and was valued by this high-ranking official of the Empire, and because of his erudition, he had the opportunity to teach the Chinese languages of the high-ranking official of the Empire, and became the guest of honor of this high-ranking official of the Empire, and finally received the attention of other gentlemen of the Empire, and was called "Taixi Daru". ”

"Brother Dongshan, do you know Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo and Potice?"

Although Pires has been teaching Western Chinese languages and cultures to Xia Yan on the sea route to the West, Xia Yan also worked part-time as Pires's Sinology master, and the two even intended to translate some Chinese and Western works together, and at this time, Xia Yan remembered His Majesty Zhu Houzhao's instructions to himself and the accompanying Jinyi Wei Chito Tianchao before his departure, so he couldn't help but ask Pires about the people whom His Majesty the four emperors named to bring back Daming.

"They are Florentine people, especially Leonardo da Vinci, who is the same as the so-called sage of the Empire, and this person is especially good at painting!"

After Pires said, Xia Yan was a little puzzled, thinking to himself how to paint surprisingly and be called a sage Confucian, and the left and right should not just be Gu Kaizhi, Yan Liben and the like? is also like Tang Bohu in the world? Why does Your Majesty attach so much importance to it, could it be that Your Majesty likes Western paintings?

"Of course, these people are not only good at painting......" Pires continued, the more Xia Yan listened, the more he realized the extraordinaryness of these people that His Majesty wanted, and instructed Jinyi Wei Qianhe Tian Chao: "Tian Qianhu, when the time comes, these people must please go to my Daming, if they don't want to, please arrest them, if they really can't, please kill them!" ”
