Standing at the bow of the ship, Zhang Zhijie saw the crowd kneeling on the dock at a glance, and there was no trace of the Portuguese fleet, which showed that they had really left Manraka.

The first time he landed on this land was as a guest, and at that time Zhang Zhijie secretly decided that one day he must take Manraka. But he never thought that when he stepped on this land for the second time, he was already the master here.

So when he set foot on Manraka, Zhang Zhijie was still quite emotional. But Zhang Zhijie's emotion did not last long, because when Zhang Zhijie boarded the dock with his personal guards, there was a loud sound of thanksgiving on the pier.

Zhang Zhijie looked at the crowd kneeling on the ground, and saw that although their complexions were a little pale, they didn't look like they had been abused, and said loudly: "You have all suffered, the court knows that you have been rudely detained by Portugal, and the emperor is very concerned, so he ordered the governor to lead the sailor to rescue him, and now you are all safe, and you can return to Daming at any time!" ”

"The grass people and others thank God for their grace, and thank you Lord Admiral! If it weren't for the Admiralty leading the sailors to defeat the Portuguese, the grass people and others would be buried here! ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "You are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter where you are, the imperial court will always be your strongest protection, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, the sailors of the imperial court will escort you!" ”

"In the future, Manraka will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and you can continue to trade in Manraka, and this will not happen again in the future!"

Zhang Zhijie was also afraid that they would be bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, and they would never dare to come to Manraga in the future! Unexpectedly, to Zhang Zhijie's surprise, these people said excitedly: "Don't worry, my lord, there are sailors from the imperial court, we dare to go anywhere, and we will come to Manraka to trade!" ”

After carefully comforting these detained Ming merchants, they were sent out to sea, and their families were very worried about their long absences from home and being detained in Manraka. The reason why they didn't leave after being released was that they wanted to wait for the sailor of the imperial court here, and they must kowtow to the sailor to thank him.

After sending off the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhijie met with several local chiefs, accepted their gratitude, and explained that in the future, this place would belong to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would garrison troops here. After these chiefs had experienced the brutality of the Portuguese, they had no objections at all.

After that, Zhang Zhijie was busy integrating the forts and forts left by the Portuguese and establishing camps. Just when Zhang Zhijie was busy, a native led dozens of people to come to him and said that he had something important to ask to meet the governor of the Ming Dynasty.

In line with the strategy of living in harmony with the local aborigines, Zhang Zhijie met with this group of people, who were originally indigenous chiefs, but they did not expect that the person who came claimed to be the king of the Manraka Kingdom.

Zhang Zhijie frowned when he heard this: "The king of Manraka? Ben Governor had heard that the king of Manraka had been killed in battle against the Portuguese. Out of nowhere, a king came out? Dare to deceive Bentu's head, it's really tired and crooked! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, my Uncle Wang did die in battle when he was defending against foreigners, and now I have inherited the throne. I am very grateful to the Celestial Empire for helping us drive out the foreigners and help us restore the country! The man saluted.

Zhang Zhijie felt a little ridiculous, labor and management took great pains to defeat the Portuguese, but he didn't expect that a mud monkey came from nowhere, wanting to snatch the fruits of victory!

Zhang Zhijie said coldly: "The Portuguese have occupied Manchuria for so long, why haven't you returned to the country?" ”

The man snorted: "We can't beat the foreigners, and even Uncle Wang has already died in battle." I hope day and night that the Heavenly Kingdom will help me to restore my country, and if the army of the Heavenly Kingdom finally arrives today, I am filled with endless gratitude to the Governor. ”

Zhang Zhijie waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be grateful to Bendu, because Manraka is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The man listened and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Manraka is only a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, not a territory of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the king here!" The Celestial Empire is a ceremonial state, how can it forcibly occupy Mangara? ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "Ben Du doesn't know if you are the king of Manraka, Ben Du only knows that this place was once Portuguese, Ben Du defeated the Portuguese, and the Portuguese compensated Manraka to Da Ming, if you want to claim back Manraka, then you have to go to the Portuguese!" ”

"Of course, if you want to restore the country by force, the Governor doesn't mind killing you all, after all, the Governor defeated the Portuguese, and you, even the Portuguese, can't beat it!"

The man heard this and said urgently: "I'm going to Daming, I'm going to sue His Majesty the Emperor, I'm going to ask him to make decisions for me!" ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Yes, do you want this governor to give you a ride?" Whether you want to go to Daming or Goa to find the Portuguese, Bento can give you a ride! ”

The surrounding generals were all eyeing each other, and as long as the Admiral gave an order, they didn't mind giving the king a ride out of nowhere.

This person is really the nephew of the previous king, and he did lead some remnants of the courtiers to inherit the throne, but this is just what they are talking about, and they themselves know that they can't beat the Portuguese, so they don't have the intention of recovering the country.

Originally, he stayed in the deep mountains and old forests and planned to be a chief for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to hear that the army of the Ming Dynasty drove away the foreigners, and thought that the Celestial Empire was a state of etiquette and was very generous, so the new king had the idea of restoring the country.

I didn't expect this Ming Governor to be so unreasonable, completely beyond his expectations, feeling the knife-like gaze, he suddenly muttered in his heart, where is this send a ride? Celestial Empire or Hell?

Since you can't return to the country, let's go back and be a chief honestly! The king of Manraka was stunned and walked away.

This is just a trivial thing that happened, if it weren't for the king's interest, Zhang Zhijie would really be ready to give him a ride.

Although he walked away in ashes, Zhang Zhijie did not relax, before leaving for the Spice Islands, Zhang Zhijie left an order, if there is a riot, suppress it immediately, don't be afraid of killing, you can immigrate from Daming if you kill it all!

The soldiers who stayed behind listened to the order, and these Manraka natives were beaten so miserably by the Portuguese that they dared to riot if they didn't believe it. If there is a real rebellion, it is impossible to say that the army will open and kill here, like the Grape People bloody suppression.

The most important thing is that they heard a hint of wind from the mouth of the Admiral, and the Admiral doesn't seem to treat these Manraka natives very well, so it's the best, and there is no taboo to suppress it!
