Leaving some men behind, Zhang Zhijie immediately led the fleet to the Spice Islands, which was the greatest wealth for Portugal. Because the Easterners can't imagine the Westerners' desire for spices.

At the most exaggerated time in the West, a cow could only be exchanged for two pounds of nutmeg, pepper and even sold as a piece, and even used as currency! Although it is not so exaggerated these days, spices are still something that Westerners crave. Even the thirst for spices was a great incentive for the Great Voyages, and those navigators who could bring back a bag of spices would have made a fortune!

So whoever controls the Spice Islands will undoubtedly have a lot of wealth, because spices are hard currency for Westerners.

The fleet arrived in the Spice Islands, where the Portuguese had now withdrawn. Zhang Zhijie landed on the island with his people, and the jungle on the island is dense, and there are many natives living here.

When they saw the big ship on the sea, these natives trembled with fear. Zhang Zhijie did not intimidate them, he just got to know the islands in general.

The Spice Islands really live up to its name, and it seems that after going back, we must make a good plan with Wu Zhongcheng, and the firm will first set up the first overseas branch in Manraka to operate the spices of the Spice Islands.

After some inspection, Zhang Zhijie led the fleet back to Manraka. Unexpectedly, Manraka was very calm, even if Zhang Zhijie led the fleet to leave, there was no riot.

Because these natives had always been very respectful to the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhijie drove away the Grape People and ended the cruel rule of the Portuguese, which made the Manraka natives very grateful to the Ming army, so there was no riot.

This made Zhang Zhijie very satisfied, and the surrounding areas around Daming were still very respectful to Daming, such as the Korean Kingdom and the capital sent envoys to pay tribute to the beauties.

Since it was decided to garrison the army here, if it was provided by the Ming Dynasty, it would be a long way, and Zhang Zhijie decided to return to Beijing to ask the imperial court to appoint officials to come to manage the taxation.

After leaving the garrison, Zhang Zhijie led the fleet to leave Manraka and sail to Quanzhou. The seized merchant ships had returned to Daming, and their return caused a sensation in Quanzhou and spread rapidly.

The sailors of the imperial court not only defeated the foreigners and rescued the seized merchant ships, but also expelled the foreigners from Manraka, and the sailors of the Ming Dynasty occupied Manraka, and Manraka will belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the imperial court will garrison in Manraka.

When the news spread, many people who did not dare to go to Manraka were relieved, but now the risk of going to sea has been reduced a lot, because overseas is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial court has accepted the submission of Luzon, set up the province of Luzon, and the imperial court also laid a mountain city harbor in the Japanese state for trade, and now the imperial court has captured Manchuria, even if it is to trade at sea in the future, it is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then the safety will be guaranteed.

When the fleet of the imperial court arrived in Quanzhou, everyone was full of awe and pride when they looked at the mighty warships of the imperial court. But after Zhang Zhijie arrived in Quanzhou, he was extremely busy.

On the one hand, Zhang Zhijie wanted to write to the imperial court and report the final result of the war with Portugal to Emperor Zhengde. This battle not only pacified the overseas countries, but also brought rich rewards to the imperial court, not only did they capture many warships, but the Portuguese would ransom their soldiers with three million taels of silver.

Although there is no shortage of silver in the imperial court now, who would think that there is a lot of silver? Now the Tobe Shoshu is undoubtedly the happiest Hisbe Shoshu ever, because finally there is no need to worry about the silver.

At the end of the chapter, Zhang Zhijie made another statement, and the people of Manraka strongly requested to submit to the imperial court, and asked the court to garrison troops in Manraka and appoint officials. With the example of Luzon, I believe that Emperor Zhengde and the Manchu Dynasty will readily agree.

Of course, in the end, Zhang Zhijie brought some private words to Emperor Zhengde, and Zhang Zhijie was ready to go to sea again, because he was going to take Wu Zhongcheng to the sea to Manraka to explain the matter of the Spice Islands. Since he is going to sea again, let's simply go around, after all, Zhang Zhijie still has the title of governor of Luzon, and he is not at ease with Hakata Bay.

After sending the chapter away, Zhang Zhijie immediately prepared to set off for the sea, the warships had been integrated, and the merchant ships had already been arranged by Wu Zhongcheng, just waiting for the warships to go to sea after the battle.

Originally, Wu Zhongcheng was still a little suspenseful, but he didn't expect the war to go so smoothly, Zhang Zhijie not only defeated the Portuguese, but also directly occupied Manraka. After knowing that he was going to open a branch in Manraka to manage the spice trade, Wu Zhongcheng immediately organized people to prepare to follow Zhang Zhijie to Manraka.

Zhang Zhijie can be regarded as a general, and not long after sending the chapter away, Zhang Zhijie began to set off for the sea without waiting for the will of Emperor Zhengde.

However, there was one more thing to deal with before going to sea, and that was the Spaniards who had been captured, and these Spaniards had joined the battle with Zhang Zhijie, who had promised to return their freedom if they defeated the Portuguese.

Now that Zhang Zhijie has defeated the Portuguese and expelled them from Mangara, it is time to make good on his promise. So Zhang Zhijie summoned the Spanish commander Magellan, who had been in suspense.

Ever since the end of the naval battle, Magellan had been looking forward to regaining his freedom, and although they were no longer as mistreated in the Ming Dynasty as they had been before, he was still at home. Because he wanted to report what had happened in the East to His Excellency the Commander as soon as possible.

"Mr. Magellan, the Governor promised that if the Portuguese are defeated, you will be free, and now it is time for the Governor to fulfill his promise, and what happened in Luzon was 。。。。。。" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile.

Before Zhang Zhijie finished speaking, Magellan had already said with interest: "Your Excellency, the matter of Luzon Island is just a misunderstanding, we don't know that Luzon is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhang Zhijie nodded when he heard this: "Okay, since this is the case, then the governor will return a warship to you, and send you another cargo ship, and you can leave!" ”

"Please go back and tell your commander that we welcome Spanish merchants to trade, but not guns!"

Magellan bowed and said, "Don't worry, Governor, I will tell us Your Excellency the Commander!" "Magellan is not an excuse, he really wants to tell His Excellency the Commander what has happened in the East, which has a powerful empire. The Ming Empire produced tea, porcelain, silk, and now occupies the Spice Islands, which are full of wealth.

However, the empire was so powerful that it could only send merchant ships to trade, not warships to conquer. Because the fleet of the Kingdom of Portugal has almost been buried in the East, this is a lesson from the past.
