The king of Luzon treated Zhang Zhijie as the most distinguished guest of honor ever, and welcomed Zhang Zhijie to the palace to live, and even Magnolia entered the palace with hundreds of personal guards, and the king of Luzon did not stop him.

Zhang Zhijie was a little surprised by the high courtesy, but Zhang Zhijie still accepted it peacefully, because this was a subject country of the Ming Dynasty. However, Zhang Zhijie was a little embarrassed, in the face of such Luzon, it was really difficult for Zhang Zhijie to make up his mind to occupy it.

In the end, Zhang Zhijie pondered and said: "King, because the imperial court has opened the sea to trade, this governor is appointed by the emperor to explore the situation overseas. Nowadays, more and more maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty have come to Luzon, so the governor wants to borrow a place in Luzon to garrison troops! ”

The king of Luzon was surprised and said, "The kingdom wants to garrison troops here?" ”

Zhang Zhidian smiled and said: "Yes, after the imperial court opens the sea, overseas trade will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more people going back and forth between Daming and Luzon." Therefore, the imperial court must also ensure their safety! ”

The king of Luzon smiled and said: "Your Excellency, our Kingdom of Luzon is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and we will definitely guarantee the safety of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty." Don't hide it, there are also Ming people in the kingdom who have settled here, and we treat them very politely. ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It's not that the governor doesn't believe in Luzon, but with the rise of trade, there will be people who will take risks and plunder maritime merchants, and in order to prevent this from happening, the imperial court will send warships to patrol." So want to set up a camp in Luzon as a foothold! ”

When the king of Luzon heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This is as it should be, the establishment of a camp in Luzon can also increase the stability of the kingdom, this is Luzon's honor!" ”

Since the king of Luzon was so knowledgeable, Zhang Zhijie temporarily rested his mind of occupying Luzon and set up a camp garrison in Luzon first.

The king of Luzon agreed happily, but not all officials agreed. When Zhang Zhijie left the palace to choose a place to set up camp, the ministers of the Kingdom of Luzon also gathered at the king.

"Your Majesty, this Admiral has come to our Luzon with so many warships, I always feel that something is wrong?"

The king of Luzon wondered, "What? Do you think this Admiral is a fake? Not an envoy of the kingdom? ”

"It's not fake! The minister has already gone out to investigate, this admiral really can't really go to the kingdom anymore! The minister just thinks that this Admiral wants to set up a camp in our Luzon, and he has to guard against it! ”

The king of Luzon frowned when he heard this: "How can the kingdom of Shangguo take a fancy to Luzon, this little projectile land, besides, what defense should we take?" ”

The minister opened his mouth and couldn't speak, and the king of Luzon frowned and said, "If the Heavenly Empire really has bad intentions, the thousands of elite soldiers outside will be enough to sweep our Luzon!" Do you still need to set up a camp around the bush? ”

"So don't worry about eating turnips all day long! You have to worry about it, and you have to worry about getting down to business! Since the Kingdom of God is going to garrison troops here, should we provide food? ”

The fleet began to trade, and Zhang Zhijie took Magnolia and them to survey the terrain and start building a camp. The king of Luzon was very cooperative with this, actively provided wood, and mobilized the people to come to help, and finally heard Zhang Zhijie say that he would leave a warship to stop, and the king of Luzon also generously said that he would supply food to the garrison.

This made Zhang Zhijie feel very satisfied, it was very far to transport supplies from the Ming Dynasty, and if Luzon provided food for the garrison, it would be a lot more worry-free.

This Luzon king is so knowledgeable, then Zhang Zhijie will not fight Luzon's idea for the time being, and Spain will definitely come to fight Luzon's idea in the future, and Zhang Zhijie will avenge the Luzon king at that time.

After spending a month in Luzon, completing most of the trade and establishing a camp, Zhang Zhijie left a warship to anchor in Manila.

The fleet set sail again, heading from Luzon to Hakata Bay, located in the northern part of the island of Kyushu, which was one of the main trading points for the Ming dynasty to come to the Wakoku.

After a long voyage, the mighty fleet finally arrived at Hakata Bay, which is a rare natural deep-water port with calm seas and calm seas. Feng Haisheng took the fleet to sea, mainly to Hakata Bay.

Hakata Bay is part of the Bungo Kingdom, and the current Wa Kingdom is in a period of turmoil, which is the Warring States period that later generations boasted about. The territory of the Wa Kingdom is not large, but there are many countries, and you can't even count them.

Japan was rich in gold and silver, but now it was in a period of turmoil, and supplies were relatively scarce, so it attracted a large number of fleets to trade. Hakata Bay is now in a busy state of flux, with many fleets coming in and out.

But now Hakata Bay is suddenly quiet because a large fleet of ships is entering Hakata Bay. Such a huge fleet was only the fleet of the Admiral of the Great Ming, so the fleet that originally planned to enter and exit stopped to avoid it.

As a Ming person, who doesn't know the name of Lord Admiral? Therefore, it is natural to give three points to the fleet of the Admiral, and this is still when they don't know that Zhang Zhijie is on the ship.

The huge fleet slowly leaned on Hakata Bay, Feng Haisheng immediately began to sort out the goods and prepare for trade, while Zhang Zhijie went to Hakata Bay to hang out accompanied by Bai Yulan and other cronies.

I have to say that the Wa Kingdom at this time was really poor enough. Zhang Zhijie saw with his own eyes that what they were eating was boiled radish, Zhang Zhijie was dumbfounded, it was really boiled radish in clear water, and there were a few rice grains floating in it.

This is still Hakata Bay, which should be considered a good place in the Wa Kingdom, but it is relieved to think that the Wa Kingdom is now fighting everywhere. Now the country is in chaos, and grain production must have been greatly reduced.

Zhang Zhijie, who was watching, shook his head, but he didn't feel pitiful. Although the scenery of Hakata Bay is good, the ragged clothes of these Japanese people are a bit of a bad scenery.

After a little strolling, Zhang Zhijie was attracted by the castle on the mountain, and Chang Yun hurriedly introduced: "My lord, that is Tachibana Mountain, and above it is Tachibana Mountain Castle, which is the second largest city in Fenggo Kingdom!" ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Bendu thought it was a castle, but it turned out to be a city?" Or is it the second largest city in Bungo Province? ”

Chang Yun smiled when he heard this: "My lord, this country is not big, and now it is fighting wars year after year, and it is normal that there are few people!" They built the city on a hill so that it would be easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"My lord, don't look at the people of this Japanese country who can't eat and are in rags, but they are actually very rich, because this Japanese country is rich in gold and silver."

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "They are ragged and not ragged, and they don't eat or not, these governors don't care, don't shorten the governor's silver!" ”

Aside from the nice view of Hakata Bay, there's really nothing to do here, let alone any food.
