This is also the reason why those civil and military ministers have strange expressions, but these methods are not harmful to the peace of the heavens, but also conform to the practices of the suzerain, such as assisting the other party in education and road construction, building docks for the other party, so that the ships of our Chinese Empire can rely on, and opening ports to facilitate bilateral trade, etc., for this completely barbaric Borneo country, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Of course, in the long run, it is natural that my Chinese Empire will greatly benefit.

After Ma Zhou's proposal, all the self-proclaimed saint disciples of the Wenchen Yu Crisp lowered their faces to offer advice and suggestions, and joined the discussion one after another, anyway, we are all for the country, the people and the world.

The atmosphere is very warm, and my son is also very satisfied, this is called the unity of the upper and lower levels, after being influenced and assimilated by me, these civil and military ministers of the court are no longer the kind of righteous gentlemen who thoroughly hold books and say benevolence, benevolence, and goodness.

Well, or they know better how to benefit the people of the world and the Chinese Empire, such ministers are the real pillars of the country.

At the end of the month, the envoys from Borneo were finally ushered in, led by a middle-aged man with a long beard with a thin face but a dark appearance, and behind him was a man of his age, but his hair was slightly curled and wrapped in cloth, and his complexion was even darker and beardless.

As soon as he entered the court hall and saw this magnificent hall, the eyes of the middle-aged man with a long beard began to turn red, and after coming to the position, the two fell to the ground together. The ministers and princes of the lower kingdom are referred to as the Son of Heaven.

"Why is Chen Qing so excited, isn't it that when you come to the court, someone is embarrassed that you can't wait?" I asked the two of them with a confused expression.

"The Son of Heaven of the Kingdom of God, the subordinate is originally a person from the Central Plains, because of the wars in the Central Plains, the ancestors have no choice, they have crossed the ocean and stayed in a foreign country, and it has been more than 150 years......" Speaking of this, this person named Chen Xiao almost burst into tears.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but sigh. "Don't be too sad, Qing is a person from the Central Plains, so do you remember where your homeland is, and you have relatives?

Speaking of his family, Chen Xiao suddenly had a spirit: "The son of heaven, the subordinate was originally a Jiankang person, and he moved here from the north during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his ancestor was a Chinese scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty......"

After the Chen clan fled to Jiankang with the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they gradually developed and grew here. Later, there were many big officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which made the Chen family more and more prosperous.

But after that, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was originally the product of the balance of power of the four major clans of Wang, Xie, Yu and Huan, and the three clans of Wang Xie Yu declined one after another, and the Huan clan became the only big clan, and the arrogant and talented Huan Xuan easily eliminated the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Then Liu Yu destroyed the Huan clan and replaced the Sima clan to establish the Song Dynasty, after which, it was changed to the dynasty, Qi, Liang, and Chen appeared one after another, until the Sui Dynasty established a unified world, and the Jiangnan Rebellion was ended.

After the Chen family experienced a long period of war, the family's losses were also very heavy. And his ancestors heard that some people crossed the ocean, and saw that there was a continent, and the continent was peaceful and tranquil, compared to today's wars and chaos, starvation and death all over the wilderness, even those clans, and there are also many cases of starvation of the entire clan.

So, his great-grandfather gritted his teeth and took more than 70 relatives who were willing to leave on a boat and sailed away. In the end, when they arrived in Borneo, there were still more than 50 people, and when they came here, they found that there were many Han people who also came to avoid the rebellion in the Central Plains, with nearly 3,000 people.

After that, in order to survive here, he decided to use his own means and skills to serve the country of Borneo, until now. Nowadays, many Han Chinese live in Borneo with the locals. Of course, there are also people like the Chen clan who live in a concentrated area, and many of them are in the service of the Lord of the Borneo Kingdom.

Later, the Borneo lord married these Han officials, and until now, there have been four generations of lords, and those Borneo people have great respect for these tall, light-skinned, well-read and courteous Han people, and even call them elders.

Because the Borneo people are generally shorter, generally one meter five or six, and the third prince is now more than one meter seven, that is because of the effect of intermarriage with the Han people after several generations of blood exchange.

After chatting with this Han Borneo envoy for a while, I finally got to the point, naturally, as His Majesty the Emperor of the suzerain, I naturally want to express my mercy for this kind of country that has taken the initiative to come to pay tribute, first of all, I naturally want to allow him to be a vassal of my Chinese Empire.

In addition, since the country loves our Central Plains culture so much, coupled with its poverty and backwardness, and often suffers from the invasion of those barbaric and ignorant alien races, I really can't bear to see these Chinese people who have been exiled to foreign lands still suffer from that soldier, so I have made the following decision.

First, send a division of the Chinese field army to Borneo to help the Borneo state sweep away all the resistance forces, and in addition, build permanent ports for the Borneo state where it is suitable to facilitate trade between the Chinese empire and the Borneo state. Third, a group of outstanding people with rich cultural and agricultural knowledge will be sent to Borneo to help them get rid of poverty and obtain abundant spiritual food...... There are a total of seventeen articles, and I can hear these two people who are so drunk that they are so grateful that they are grateful.

In addition, I invited these two envoys to visit the Imperial Garden and took them to taste the various delicacies of the Chinese Empire. He also gave each of them a small gift, although it was a small gift, but the palm-sized round mirror made the eyes of both of them almost out of their sockets, and they didn't expect that their appearance would become so clear in the mirror.

looked at himself in the mirror in a daze, and even the prince didn't believe that he pulled out a nose hair that sticked out of his nostrils, and finally found that the mirror was so clear that even a nose hair could be seen clearly.

Of course, there was also a piece about a foot square that was given to the lord of the Borneo kingdom, and after taking the box, the prince never dared to let go, as if he was afraid that this superb treasure would run away.

The next day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received good news that the Borneo envoys had negotiated the seventeen articles proposed by the empire behind closed doors for a night, and then signed the treaty the next morning.

In this regard, Ben Gongzi is very excited, although the Borneo country does not have much oil and water, but the problem is that the series of treaties signed between the Chinese Empire and the Borneo State will become a sharp weapon for the Chinese Empire to deal with those surrounding vassals of the Chinese Empire in the future.

In other words, after this treaty becomes a fait accompli, then in the future, if the other vassal states want the Chinese Empire to clean up others for them, then they will have to do what we signed with the Borneo State before. Anyway, if there is a precedent, then other countries will have to follow suit in the future.

Overjoyed, this prince couldn't wait to order all the important ministers to come and discuss how to prepare for this matter.

"Your Majesty, where are you going to transfer troops from?" After Wei Yunqi, who soon rushed over from the military department, heard the good news that the other party had signed a contract, he couldn't help rubbing his hands with some excitement, walked to the map not far away and asked me.

"I want to transfer troops from Lingnan, what do you think?" I raised my hand and stroked my chin, looking at the giant map hanging in front of me. Today, more than 120,000 soldiers and horses have been trained in the Lingnan region. I don't think it's appropriate for them all to stay in the local area. ”

Wei Yunqi shook his head after thinking about it for a long time. "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that you once said that the land of Nanyang is far hotter and humider than the land of Lingnan and Bashu. And the land of Lingnan is newly occupied, if they are to be allowed to go away across the ocean, I am afraid that the military will be easily confused. ”

Hearing Wei Yunqi's opinion, I thought about it and nodded approvingly. "Qing's words are very reasonable, but I didn't think about it. In Qing's opinion, where should the troops be transferred? ”

"The minister thinks that it is best to transfer troops from Jiaozhi." Wei Yun raised his head without raising his head, nodded to the Jiaozhi area drawn on the map, and said.

"Isn't Jiaozhi currently at war with the Funan Kingdom and the remnants of the Cham Po?" Ma Zhou next to him couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wei Yunqi smiled confidently, glanced at the people in the hall and said: "Although our army is fighting with Funan and Cham in the land of Jiaozhi, it is very easy, General Cheng in addition to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, he also reorganized one army and two divisions in the land of Jiaozhi. Now they are taking turns to fight and train their troops. I've heard that it works well. ”

"You mean to draw a division from Cochin to Borneo?" Yang Gongren walked over, looked at the map and nodded. "That's a good idea."

"No, Wei thinks that at least one army should be recruited. One of the divisions was stationed in Borneo, and the other two were temporarily stationed on Luzon. Wei Yunqi shook his head and said. Compared with the big island where Borneo is located, the proven mineral deposits in Luzon are what we urgently need in China, and it is reported that it has returned. Among the southern islands of Luzon, there are also many people who lead beasts to eat people. ”

"Since Your Majesty wants to immigrate to these areas, then you must ensure the safety of our Chinese people, so I think that I will send troops to them in advance, either to suppress or appease, so as to lay the foundation for my Chinese immigrants to the Nanyang Islands in the future......"

Hearing Wei Yunqi's words, I nodded thoughtfully. An army, more than 30,000 people and less than 40,000 people, seems to be a lot, but this son wants to plot the entire South Seas, and even include Australia in later generations, and in the future, he wants to turn the entire Pacific Ocean into the back garden of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, I completely agree with Wei Yunqi's approach. "Qing is reasonable, but the problem is that in this way, the strength of Jiaozhi is too thin."

"Nanyang is the top priority of my future development of China, but Jiaozhi is an important stronghold of my China facing the sea, and it is not unreasonable to easily transfer nearly half of the soldiers and horses." The old man raised his brows and said with great concern.
