Chapter 1069: Manila
It turned out to be the remnants of the fleet of the Three Treasure Eunuchs of the Yongle Dynasty, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it: "The great achievements of the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then are really memorable, if the fleet of the year was not disbanded, how good would it be?" ”
If the original fleet had not been disbanded, more than a hundred years of coercion, these small Western countries should have been no different from the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
Not only Zhang Zhijie was stunned, but even Chang Yun was stunned, he grew up listening to the story of the Three Treasure Eunuchs going to the West since he was a child, and he yearned for the feat of the year. As the Admiral said, what if the fleet could last forever?
It's a pity that the feat of that year did not last, although there are some regrets, but after a hundred years, there is a Lord Admiral who was born, especially the Three Treasure Eunuchs of the year! It is his honor to be born in this era and to be able to follow the Admiral! In this life, you must follow in the footsteps of Lord Admiral and cut through the wind and waves at sea!
Looking at the relics of the Three Treasure Eunuchs from afar, Zhang Zhijie said silently in his heart, all this will be rebuilt, no, what must be done is better than back then!
Seeing the relics of the three treasure eunuchs, Zhang Zhijie was not interested in going shopping.
It took more than ten days for the trade to almost end, and in the face of this mighty cargo ship, Manraka could not eat. The main places of trade were still in Luzon and Japan, so Zhang Zhijie prepared to say goodbye to Alfonso and go to Luzon.
Alfonso didn't keep it, just a strong reminder that if he met the Spaniard, he must give him a head-on blow, Zhang Zhijie agreed.
Alfonso gave Zhang Zhijie more than 20 female slaves who were serving Zhang Zhijie, but Zhang Zhijie still politely refused! It's just a matter of having fun in Mangara, and it's not appropriate to take these female slaves on the boat to play the flute every night.
Besides, he doesn't understand the language with these female slaves, and he doesn't have any feelings, but it's just a purely physical communication, so Zhang Zhijie has nothing to give up. On the contrary, those female slaves were very reluctant, after all, it was not easy to meet such a gentle and kind person. It's a pity that they are intentional, and Zhang Zhijie is ruthless.
The mighty fleet left Manraka for the Old Port, which had become a decaying place. Only some of the natives lived here, and when they saw the vast fleet of ships on the sea, they fled in fear.
After spending a day in the Old Port, Zhang Zhijie's fleet sailed out of the Old Port for Luzon.
The fleet came across a number of fleets on the sea close to Luzon, all of which were fleets that came to trade in Luzon. Manila was the capital of the Luzon Kingdom, and since the opening of the sea by the imperial court, the fleet of ships that came to trade has increased exponentially, and Manila has suddenly become more prosperous.
The vast fleet approached Manila, and such a large fleet immediately attracted the attention of the Luzon State, although there were frequent fleets here, but such a large fleet had never been seen before.
However, the Ming merchants who came to trade in Manila all guessed that it must be the Admiral's fleet coming, but what they didn't expect was that the Admiral also came overseas in person.
The bow of the Xu family was also trading in Manila, and when they saw Feng Haisheng coming with the fleet, they wanted to come up to say hello, but they hadn't seen Feng Haisheng yet, but they saw that the Admiral was disembarking surrounded by a group of brocade guards.
The bow of the Xu family weakened his knees, and when he boarded, he knelt on the ground and stammered: "Lord Admiral!" ”
Zhang Zhijie was a little puzzled and said, "Hey, are you?" ”
The bow of the Xu family said with sincere fear: "Lord Admiral, the small one is the bow of the Xu family, and I have been fortunate to see the honor of Lord Admiral!" ”
Zhang Zhijie suddenly said after hearing this: "Oh, it turned out to be you!" ”
When the bow of the Xu family heard that the Admiral remembered him, his face flushed with excitement, and he said respectfully: "It is an honor for the Kingdom of Luzon to come to Luzon, and the villain will go to tell the King of Luzon!" ”
Zhang Zhijie nodded his head and agreed, the bow of the Xu family immediately slipped away, Zhang Zhijie walked around the dock casually, Zhang Zhijie, the powerful admiral of the Ming Dynasty, came to Luzon, and all the Ming merchants who came to trade were shocked.
Although he knew that the Admiral had always been very interested in the sea, he personally formed a fleet to go to sea, and later supported the imperial court to open up the sea for trade. But they still didn't expect that the admiral would come to Luzon in person.
Everywhere Zhang Zhijie went, businessmen and sailors from Daming knelt down one after another. It is really Zhang Zhijie, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, who is too famous.
When the king of Luzon hurried with his ministers, he saw at a glance that the docks were full of kneeling people. Thousands of elite soldiers stood surrounded by a young man.
The bow of the Xu family went to sea all the year round, and also had dealings with the officials of Luzon, and even met the king of Luzon. The king of Luzon also knew the bow of the Xu family, and he was still a little stunned when he heard him say that the admiral of the Ming Dynasty came to Luzon.
Luzon has always been a subject state of the Ming Dynasty, and has sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty many times to pay tribute, but they did not expect that there would be envoys from the Ming Dynasty to Luzon! It has been a hundred years since the eunuchs of the Three Treasures went to the West, but I didn't expect that the official fortune of the Ming Dynasty would come to Luzon.
The king of Luzon immediately took the minister to the dock, and the bow of the Xu family introduced the Admiral's prominent position in the Ming Dynasty along the way, in a word, the Admiral who came was not at all comparable to the Three Treasure Eunuchs of the year, this Admiral was the most powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty!
The king of Luzon was shocked when he heard this, the Ming Dynasty is the heavenly kingdom in the eyes of these island countries, and they have been extremely respectful to the Ming Dynasty for generations.
But there was still a trace of doubt in his heart, would such a noble and illustrious Admiral stoop down to go overseas? But seeing the people on the dock who were kneeling on the ground, the king of Luzon had no doubts in his heart.
The king of Luzon walked quickly to Zhang Zhijie with his ministers, and said respectfully: "The king of the Luzon Kingdom greets the envoy of the Heavenly Empire!" ”
Zhang Zhijie was a little surprised and said: "No need to be polite, I didn't expect the king to speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
The king of Luzon said respectfully: "The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and our overseas subject countries are all eager to go to the kingdom, so Xiao Wang has learned the etiquette of the kingdom and the official language of the kingdom since he was a child!" Please also move to the palace! ”
I didn't expect the king of the Luzon Kingdom to be so respectful to him, it seems that the coercion of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they regard themselves as the subject of the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Then trouble the king!" ”
The king and ministers of Luzon immediately surrounded Zhang Zhijie and marched towards the palace, and Magnolia followed closely with hundreds of brocade guards.
