From the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, he left the capital and arrived in Luzon in early February, and it took two whole months to arrive in the country of Bo Ni.

Although there was a lot of delay in the middle, it still made Zhu Zhanji deeply appreciate the backward science and technology of today's era, which has lengthened the distance and space of the world.

At this time, how he missed riding an Airbus 380, going to any place in the world, no more than sixteen hours of rapid transportation.

If these are bearable, what makes him most aggrieved is that he originally wanted to take the opportunity to stand up in Nanyang. But when he saw these small countries in Nanyang, when he came up like a dog's leg, where did he have the opportunity to stand up.

There are some small tribes who are not convinced by the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, and they only need to see the boundless fleet of the Ming Dynasty, and they have already run away in fright.

Not to mention a fleet of 100,000 people, even if it is 10,000 people, it can sweep almost any country in the South Seas.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji didn't want to use the fleet to deal with these people, otherwise, he would have died of grievance.

This is like the United States in later generations, using 1 million missiles to hit the 100 dollar tent in Afghanistan.

Cannons fight mosquitoes, overkill.

The countries of the South Seas knew the power of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng He went to the West four times and established an invincible image in East and South Asian countries.

Even in the original world, Zhu Zhanji gave up Jiaozhi, allowing these countries to see the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. It also took decades, more than a hundred years, for them to gradually alienate the Ming Dynasty.

And now, Daming has not given up Jiaozhi, even if Zhu Zhanji does not come over this time, no country dares to wrestle with Daming.

Like Boni, it is because of the support of the Ming Dynasty that it has become a country again. And a small country like Malajia became independent because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, it would have to pay forty taels of gold to Siam every year so that it would not be beaten.

There is no place to play, which makes Zhu Zhanji feel aggrieved.

When he arrived in the country of Boni, even Sharif Ali arranged for him to be a beautiful Arab girl, but he did not develop Yaxing.

If it weren't for the fear that the other party would think he was dissatisfied, he wouldn't even want to accept it.

However, according to this rhythm, he suspected that when he came back, he would pull half a boatload of beauties from all over the world back.

The days when I came to Boni were still daily entertainment. But whenever Zhu Zhanji wants to go out, he is always followed by a large number of young men and women.

This made Zhu Zhanji extremely irritable, and he only went to the side of Chinatown, that is, at the grave of Li Huiniang, Huang Senping's wife at the foot of Mount Kinabaru, to pay respects, and then stopped going out.

The Boni country of this era cannot be compared with the rich oil-flowing Brunei in later generations, and the oil has not yet been developed! What's more, even with oil, it doesn't have much use.

Because he didn't have much interest, Zhu Zhanji stayed here for a few days and had a good time. The goods of the trade were traded, and the fleet immediately set off for the Malaga.

Located in the center of the South Seas, the Boni Kingdom is small and weak. In addition, their lords are two, and they are relatives, and they have a good relationship with each other, so he does not want to stir up the storm here.

This is the dish in the bowl, you can eat it whenever you want.

Zhu Zhanji lay lazily on the chaise longue under the shade of the cloth umbrella, holding the information of Malaka in his hand, but he had no intention of looking through it.

Several of the concubines gathered around Sara curiously, curious about her towering nose, brown eyes, and plump breasts.

Sara is the Arab girl sent to him by Sharif Ali, although she can speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, but she is surrounded by several women, and she does not dare to resist at all, and she knows everything and speaks endlessly.

Zhu Zhanji will not meddle in the affairs between them, and whether they can get used to his harem life depends on themselves.

Shen Dai'er breathed a sigh of relief, she was often "bullied" by several girls some time ago, and now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look at Zhu Zhanji's bare chest, but just as Zhu Zhanji looked over, she hurriedly lowered her head in shame.

Liu Chenghui carefully peeled the mango with a silver knife and cut it into small squares and stuffed it into Zhu Zhanji's mouth piece by piece. "Your Highness, why are you in a bad mood, you can also take care of it for you by saying it."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head with a smile and said: "You can't help with this kind of thing......" He knew that Liu Chenghui was a smart woman, but this kind of cleverness was good for the harem, but she didn't have this kind of insight and experience in national affairs.

Zhu Zhanji now feels bored in the West because he has no opponents and no challenges in the South Seas. Even if he just wants to vent, he can't just find an excuse to teach a lesson to a country that is not pleasing to the eye.

The attitude towards any country is a chain reaction that will affect the balance of the situation in the entire South Seas, so Zhu Zhanji can only endure it.

Invincible is a kind of loneliness!

"I won't eat it." He pushed Liu Chenghui's hand away and sat up. "You guys are here to enjoy the cold, and I'll go to Zhang Qian and talk to them. When you arrive in Malaga, it will be more lively. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji standing up, the palace maid who was waiting next to him hurriedly brought a soft silk robe to put on Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji put on a robe and tied it casually, and his strong chest was still half exposed. He didn't even wear shoes, so he went barefoot from the small world at the stern to the fourth deck.

"Summoning Wang Jinghong, Zhang Qian and Zhou Hang."

"Yes!" Li Liang sent three little eunuchs to call someone, came up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, why don't you make kung fu tea for you again?" ”

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and sneered: "Your craftsmanship...... Why don't I do it myself! ”

Li Liang smiled and stepped aside. "The slave will learn it as soon as possible."

Although kung fu tea originated in the Song and Yuan dynasties, it has always been popular in a small area in Fujian and Chaozhou.

After Zhu Zhanji participated in the trade, he began to vigorously promote Tieguanyin, and later promoted rock teas such as Dahongpao in northwest Fujian, and began to vigorously promote the procedure of comparing gongfu tea.

Now that the officials of Yingtianfu are gathered, in addition to drinking, the ritual of drinking kung fu tea has gradually become popular.

However, Li Liang is a guy who doesn't learn and has no skills, and this set of elegant enjoyment, he is not as good as the old farmer in the countryside.

When he came to the third deck, Zhu Zhanji felt the breeze blowing, and asked Li Liang to arrange for people to set up a big umbrella on the deck, set up tables and chairs, and then set up a set of iron stoves a few meters away and began to boil water to make tea.

This kind of iron stove is like a boiler with a bottom, the lower layer has four legs, the middle burns wood to light the fire, and a purple clay pot is hung on it, not afraid of the fire running outside to cause a fire.

Wang Jinghong and Zhang Qian were both eunuchs, and they were in the same boat as Zhu Zhanji, and before the water boiled, the three of them came one after another.

Wang Jinghong is a master in making kung fu tea, so he sat in front of the tea table and began the procedure of washing cups and brewing.

When the first cup of tea was handed to Zhu Zhanji, he spoke: "I have heard for a long time that Malaka is my current relay place of the Ming Dynasty, but there is always a layer of knowledge in the book. All three of you have been to Malaka many times, so I would like to hear more about the three of you. Also, what is the evaluation of this Bairi Missoula, who is in the world. ”

Malaka is actually the Malacca of later generations, this country has been established for less than 20 years, it can be said that without the support of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no existence of this country.

This Bairi Missoula was originally a prince of the Srivijaya kingdom and was born in Palembang. In the last years of Hongwu, Majapahit destroyed the kingdom of Srivijaya and occupied Palembang, and this Bairi Missula fled to Malaga.

At that time, when Majapahit was destroying Srivijaya, the king of Temasek (Singapore) was Ispandashah, and the prime minister was Lanshan Lanjuna Duobo.

At that time, the king of Turkey killed the prime minister's daughter, and the prime minister held a grudge, so he colluded with Majapahit and led troops to destroy Temasek.

Majapahit sent hundreds of large and small boats with 200,000 troops to attack Temasek.

When their army arrived in Temasek, the Prime Minister had the gates open for the enemy to enter. As a result, Temasek was brutally murdered by Majapahit, and blood was spilled.

After the devastation, Temasek was restored from a thriving port to a small fishing village.

The capital of Majapahit was in the eastern part of the island of Java, and Sumatra was so wealthy that Majapahit could not look down on Temasek, so they withdrew.

The retreat of Majapahit gave Bairymisura a respite, but then Siam in the north began to move south again.

Bairi Missoula agreed to Siam's conditions, handed over forty taels of gold every year, got the land of several villages, and began to recuperate.

Subsequently, it was the era when Zheng He went to the West, and when he went to the West for the first time, Zheng He took a fancy to the place of Malaga.

He used Malaka as his base camp, built city walls, fences, drum towers, and corner towers, and built warehouses to store money, grain, and department stores.

The fleet sailed to Champa and Java, and the capital first anchored in Malaga; On the return journey from Siam, Khurumos and other countries, he also gathered in Malaga, collected some money and grain, stored it in the warehouse, and waited for the trade winds to sail back to Daming.

At this time, it has to be mentioned that when Zheng He first went to the Western Ocean, he encountered a civil war between the king of the east and the king of the west on the island of Java, and the Ming soldiers were killed 170 people.

The king of the west compensated 60,000 taels of gold at that time, and the Ming Dynasty turned the war into jade silk.

This is also the first time that the countries of the South Seas have seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty, a great power that dominates the South Seas, and also bowed down to the power of Zheng He's fleet.

Subsequently, Majapahit colluded with the pirate Chen Zuyi to make a tentative attack on the Ming fleet, but was taken by the Ming fleet in one fell swoop.

In this process, the Ming fleet occupied the wealthy old port, and set up the old port propaganda department in the old port, and appointed Shi Jinqing, a local Chinese leader, as the consolation envoy.

From then on, even Majapahit did not dare to ask Daming to return to the old port, and recognized the occupation of the old port by Daming.

The Ming Dynasty's occupation of the Old Port was tantamount to planting a nail in the middle of the Manjapahit ruling area. The surrounding small countries that did not submit to the Manchu Japahit all fell to the Ming Dynasty and were willing to be Ming vassal states.

Therefore, the reason why the current Nanyang countries yearn for the Ming Dynasty and are willing to be subject countries. It's not because they have a heart for the Ming Dynasty, it's mainly because of the strong coercion of Majapahit.

It is also for this reason that when the Ming withdrew from Jiaozhi, so that the countries of the South Seas saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, they ignored the Ming Dynasty, mainly because they could only surrender to the Majapahit in the end.

However, these are not what Wang Jinghong and Zhang Qian can know, but Zhu Zhanji's speculation.

The conversation returned to Malaka.

Bairi Missula was given a respite because of the strong intervention of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He took a fancy to Malaga's geographical location, which brought development opportunities to Malaka.

In the third year of Yongle, Bairi Missula sent an envoy to the table, willing to be a subordinate county. In the seventh year of Yongle, Zheng He named Bairi Missoula as the king of Manraka and was not subordinate to Siam from then on.

In the ninth year of Yongle, Bairi Missula led his wife and more than 500 followers to the court to pay tribute to the Qilin, and since then it has officially become a subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

With the support of the Ming Dynasty, the forty taels of gold they originally had to hand over to Siam every year did not have to be handed over again. From a territory of only three villages, Malaka developed into one of the most important maritime communication points in the South Seas due to the voyage of the fleet.

Zheng He's fleet made four missions, each with nearly 30,000 people, which lasted more than a year and a half, and needed to carry a large amount of supplies.

Therefore, it is necessary to set up a fixed material transfer station in the middle of the voyage to store items that are not urgently needed, relieve the transportation pressure of the fleet, and constantly replenish the application materials for the incoming and outgoing fleets of the mission.

Malaka was an ideal location for Zheng He's fleet to transit. The superior geographical location, from the perspective of shipping, is not only conducive to the docking and replenishment of the ship's berth, but also conducive to the fleet to wait for different monsoons, so as to win the most favorable opportunity for the southward voyage and return to the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Malaga, from a deep-water port in several fishing villages, has become one of the strongest water villages in the world under the development of Zheng He.

The security protection here is stronger than any port in Daming, because there is no need to build such a strong in Daming, there were still Japanese invaders in the past, and now there are no Japanese invaders, so why should it be strong?

However, the development of the Beimingshan copper mine has also had a great impact on Malaga. In recent years, the speed of Malaga's development has slowed down.

This is mainly due to the fact that copper and rice, which used to be the largest shipments from the South Seas, are now in much smaller demand.

The pacification of Jiaozhi gradually made this granary play a role. In the past, in Guangdong and Fujian, rice was transported from the Nanyang region.

Most of the copper used by the Ming Dynasty to cast copper coins was also transported back from the Nanyang region.

Nowadays, the demand for these two types of goods has declined, and the impact on Nanyang is very great.

Although the Nanyang region has rich copper reserves, the copper coins minted by their countries are not recognized by each other, and only the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty are the recognized currencies of various countries.

The copper coins minted by the Ming Dynasty every year are pulled back from the Nanyang region, and the copper coins are minted and shipped back. Now with the development of the Beimingshan copper mine, Daming's copper demand has been greatly reduced, making this trade deficit bigger and bigger.

After listening to their analysis, Zhu Zhanji also gained a deeper understanding of the situation in the entire Nanyang region. He asked, "So, what kind of person does this Bairymissula think of you?" ”

Zhu Zhanji still has a slight impression of Bairi Missoula, because he has been to Yingtianfu twice. However, when he was young, the only time he saw him was only at the court meeting, and he only knew that he was a little old man.

He had thought that there would be no connection between them, because by the time he grew up, this Bairi Missoula would probably have died long ago.

But I didn't expect that until now, he is still alive and well. Think about it, he was born in the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, and he is seventy-three years old this year, which is really a long life.

Wang Jinghong had the most contact with Bairi Missoula, and he pondered for a while and said: "To introduce one here, that is the old treacherous and cunning. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wang Jinghong said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, Malaka was surrounded by strong enemies, but Bairi Missula was able to fight for the space for Malaga's survival. In the north, he had a good relationship with the Kingdom of Siam, paying 40 taels of gold to Siam every year in exchange for temporary peace, and the Kingdom of Aceh on the island of Sumatra in the south formed an alliance, and at the same time took my Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and established a suzerain-vassal relationship with greater political significance than substantive jurisdiction.

And this person has milk is a mother, and he has no faith at all, but he respects Director Zheng's preferences, and believes in Green Green with Director Zheng, he also changed his belief in Green Green three years ago, and set Green Green as the state religion, and also changed to the name of the king and year of Persia. ”

It was the first time Zhu Zhanji had heard of this matter, and he paused for a moment and asked, "Is this really the case?" ”

Wang Jinghong and Zhang Qian both nodded, Zhu Zhanji slapped the table, and said hatefully: "Zheng He misled the country!" This Bairi Missoula is the first rat at both ends, this time when he arrives in Malaga, I want him to choose a position, and I will not tolerate it! ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji say that Zheng He had misled the country, the three of them, including Li Liang and others next to them, were shocked, and they didn't know why Zhu Zhanji had placed such a big charge on Zheng He.

If this crime really falls on Zheng He, he has nine lives that are not enough to kill.

Wang Jinghong had a close relationship with Zheng He, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is angry, Director Zheng can't be blamed for this." What's more, it is precisely because of the director's identity that His Majesty will send him to the West! ”

Of course, Zhu Zhanji knew this, but because of his beliefs, it directly affected the control of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, and it was difficult to distinguish the merits and demerits of this matter.

In everyone's opinion, Zheng He's entrapment of the Nanyang countries is a great achievement.

However, in later generations, after experiencing the history of many Chinese massacres, the power of green in Nanyang far exceeded that of the Chinese, and most countries and regions believed in green and green, which was planted by Zheng He.

This incident cannot be said to be Zheng He's fault, because the golden age of green began in the Tang Dynasty.

But he did play a role in the process.

From the beginning of the fifteenth century, the countries of Nanyang have rapidly greened in a hundred years, and it is difficult to say that there is no credit to Zheng He.

It can be said that if it were not for the invasion of Portugal and Spain from the east, the entire South China Sea would probably be a green world.

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while, seriously thought about Zheng He's role in the Ming Nanyang strategy, and felt that this matter should not continue like this.

Originally, he still wanted to go to the West this time to act separately from Zheng He, let him stabilize the base camp, and go to the unknown area by himself. But now it seems that he made the same mistake as Zhu Di.

He shouldn't have let him out for fear that Zheng He would hinder his killing, and now he should erase his influence.

Then, keeping him by his side is the right choice.

He said solemnly: "On this mission, I saw the situation of the countries in Nanyang with my own eyes, and I was full of worries in my heart. Although these Nanyang countries nominally respect my Ming Dynasty, they do not respect my Ming country name and year name, and they are not proud of learning my Ming language and speaking my Ming language. Is such a subject country really my Ming Dynasty's subject country? I don't think that's the case! ”

From Zhu Zhanji's claim to be lonely, the three of them immediately sat up straight, not daring to treat them lightly. Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words again, they knew that the Ming Dynasty's policy toward the countries of the South Seas would probably have to undergo a great change.

"Since it is my Ming vassal country, no matter which tribe, you should start to speak my Ming language, learn my Ming characters, take my Ming customs as the custom, and take my Da next year as the year name, so that it is my Ming vassal country. Zhang Qian listens to the order! ”

Zhang Qian immediately got up and knelt in front of Zhu Zhanji again. "Minister Zhang Qian is here."

"Lone appointed you as the director of the Malaga's official factory, controlling the Malaga's water master and supervising the civil power of the official's factory. In Malaga, from now on, I will go to the green religion, and all the subjects will say my Ming language, follow my Ming customs, if there is disrespect, kill it! ”

Zhang Qian raised his head a little excitedly and asked, "Your Highness, what if Bairi Missoula doesn't obey?" ”

"Kill!" Zhu Zhanji stood up and said, "Since you are my great minister and don't abide by my rules, what good do you want?" I would like to see with my own eyes how they chose to go to Malaka this time! Zhou Hang......"

Zhou Hang was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down. "The slave is here!" He was just a pedestrian, not as good as a eunuch. He also knew that his position and ability were not as good as Zhang Qian.

He didn't know what position he would be assigned, but it was a good thing that he could be personally appointed by Zhu Zhanji.

"Lone appointed you as the liaison envoy of the Nanyang countries, to assist the Advisory Department, and Jin Yiwei to form an intelligence network between the Nanyang countries, and establish an intelligence network all over the Nanyang from various aspects such as civil affairs, military and politics, and economy."

This position is not of high rank, but the ministry is important, and it is a low authority.

"Slaves obey!"

Zhu Zhanji also said: "After Borneo tomorrow, you will go to Palembang with the Counselor and Jinyiwei and the advance fleet, and you must know everything about Shi Jinqing, including this person's beliefs......"

"Yes!"

Wang Jinghong looked at Zhu Zhanji's gloomy face, and was a little worried about Zheng He. Because Zhu Zhanji's current arrangement has almost overturned the previous diplomatic strategy of the Ming Dynasty, many of Zheng He's previous arrangements for Nanyang have become obstacles.

When he was thinking wildly, he heard Zhu Zhanji call his name again. He also hurriedly clenched his fists and knelt down: "The minister is here!" ”

"When you arrive at Malaga, you and Zheng He switch positions, command the right fleet, send envoys to Aceh, Bago, Pungge and other countries, and wait for the arrival of the army at Kechi."

Aceh is in the northwest corner of Sumatra, Bago is the area of Myanmar in later generations, and Punggar is the area of Bangladesh in later generations. Kochi, on the other hand, is in the southern part of the Indian Peninsula, in the later Cochin area.

In the South Seas, the fleets moved separately, arriving in India, and then merging together for the West.

Wang Jinghong hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "Your Highness, Director Zheng has worked hard and made great achievements, and I hope to ...... it."

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lone won't punish him." It's just that his beliefs have affected the rule of my Ming Dynasty's Nanyang, so it's better for him to follow Lone's side. ”

(I would like to ask, is it a 3,000-word chapter, a 4,000-word chapter, or a 6,000-word chapter?) You can leave a message in the book review area, and I will take your opinions)
