However, this kind of marriage, which was incestuous in Chen Youren's opinion, was a normal operation that was not new to Firuzisha and other Heavenly Sect disciples.

Firuzisha did not pay attention to Chen Youren's refusal, after all, according to the teachings of Allah, three or four years old is too young, and no matter what, you have to wait until you are nine years old.

"Since that's the case, then I'll put this matter aside for the time being, and when Princess Dahan reaches the age of nine, we will discuss this matter!" Firuzisha finally said.

“…… Good. ”

When Chen Youren heard this, he was extremely speechless in his heart, and he could only say this one after holding it for a long time.

The Delhi Sultanate and the Han Empire in the East not only concluded an alliance, but also reached an intimate relationship of marriage.

The news was widely publicized by the Delhi Sultanate, not only for the subjects of the Delhi Sultanate, but also for the merchants of Persia, Khorasan, and Blu.

The Delhi Sultanate has taken control of a new trade route to the East, and merchants who want to make money should hurry up.

As long as these merchants come to the Delhi Sultanate, they will inevitably pay their taxes there, and the Delhi Sultanate will become more prosperous and wealthy, and Firuz Shah, as the Sultan, will build a stronger army.

News of Chen Youliang's alliance with the Delhi Sultanate also reached Bangladesh.

Duan Gong was even more surprised when he heard the news.

Originally, he only had to defend the Delhi Sultanate to the west, but now he was afraid that he would have to divide the few remaining troops and horses to defend the east.

As time passed, Duan Gong was extremely anxious in his heart, and almost every day he sent people to the beach to stare at the sea, hoping that the reinforcements from the Ming court would arrive quickly.

Duan Gong thought about the Ming reinforcements day and night, and had just arrived in Nanyang at this time.

After the Ming fleet led by Zhu Han eliminated the rebellion of Annan, he left Shen Changhe and others to form the Annan Protectorate and manage it temporarily.

He himself led the Ming fleet to continue sailing south.

The small city-states of Nanyang along the way had already heard that the Ming fleet had destroyed Annan in only three days.

You must know that Annam is a powerful country that everyone knows in the whole South Seas, except for the Angkor Dynasty in the south, there is hardly any country that can be compared with Annam.

But it was such a powerful state of Annam, which was destroyed under the attack of the Ming army without even holding out for three days.

The concept of invincibility under the great tomorrow has become a truth in the minds of these small countries in the South Seas.

So.

The Ming fleet led by Zhu Han was almost unimpeded all the way.

Not only that, but various small countries are also scrambling to dedicate the most precious treasures in their own countries, hoping to please the Ming Dynasty.

All of them knew that if the noble Prince of the Ming Dynasty was dissatisfied, it would be easy to destroy their country.

Daming, Hongwu six years, the second half of the first month.

The Ming fleet led by Zhu Han entered the territory of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate.

The city that was originally called Uka City has now been renamed Malacca.

When the fleet led by Zhu Han arrived, Zhu Wenzheng, the king of Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, was not in the city of Malacca, he was leading his royal army in the Spice Islands to wipe out those indigenous tribes in the South Seas.

The exploration team of the Jingnan Royal Mansion of the Ming Dynasty discovered a large number of spice producing areas in the spice islands.

These spices, which grow haphazardly on the islands of the South Seas, can be sold for almost gold and silver as long as they are picked and dried.

Zhu Wenzheng, as the king of Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, although he is a high-ranking prince, he is still burdened with heavy loans.

The Ming court gave these feudal princes, and all the materials and weapons provided needed to be repaid later.

After Zhu Wenzheng obtained so many spice producing areas, he immediately saw the hope of paying off the Fengfan loan in advance.

"Wenzheng, this kid, used to be a hanger, but now that he has a family, and he will give him a loan with a brain, he is more down-to-earth and willing to work than the old scalpers in the field!"

As soon as Zhu Han entered Malacca City, he heard about Zhu Wenzheng's recent hard work, and he couldn't help but feel very proud.

It's all my own handiwork.

When Zhu Wenzheng was in Yingtianfu, he was so youthful, but now he has become so down-to-earth and sensible when he starts a family and takes on debts.

Think about the social animals who got married and bought houses in later generations, compared with the current Zhu Wenzheng, it seems to be no different.

Zhu Wenzheng's princess is already pregnant, as a descendant of the Chinese hero Wen Tianxiang, Jingnan Princess Wen has considerable power in Malacca City, and when Zhu Wenzheng is away, she is the king of a country.

Zhu Han sent some of the accompanying military doctors to check on Princess Jingnan, a niece and daughter-in-law, to ensure that King Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty could give birth to an heir safely.

At the same time, Zhu Han used this time to conduct a patrol inside and outside the city of Malacca.

I have to say that Zhu Wenzheng, the eldest nephew, still has two brushes.

All the Ming garrisons in Malacca were not only well-trained, but also highly motivated, and did not slack off because the indigenous enemy here in the South Seas was very backward.

Zhu Han ordered Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian to land outside Malacca for repairs, and he himself took Chen Baodao and others to live in Malacca.

The Ming Dynasty was heavily armed here, and all the Nanyang natives were not allowed to carry any weapons when they entered the city, and the safety in the city was naturally very guaranteed.

Zhu Han took his guards and disguised himself as ordinary businessmen, and walked around the city of Malacca.

It has to be said that as a transit point for maritime trade, Malacca has unique advantages.

There are not only countless Daming goods, but also many other commodities that are difficult to see in Daming.

For example, one of the most famous landmarks in Malacca is the slave market in Malacca.

The Ming Dynasty forbade the use of slaves, and all the foreign population was either foreign merchants who could not settle down for a long time, or foreign women who served as slaves, so in the Ming Dynasty, it was almost impossible to see foreign male slaves.

But in the slave market in Malacca, the most common commodities were all kinds of male slaves.

After all, the greatest use of slaves is to work, and it takes strength to work, and the market for male slaves is naturally large.

"The climate here in Nanyang is not good, and there are a lot of oarsmen who have died, if you want to replenish them, you really need to buy some in this slave market!"

Zhu Han looked at the lively slave market and calculated in his heart.

Although the main warships of the Ming fleet were all sail warships, there were some accompanying ships that used both sails and oars.

Although galleys are inferior to sailboats in ocean voyages, they have their own unique advantages in offshore and windless areas.

The oarsmen used in the galleys in the Ming fleet were all Japanese people, and the cabins of the galleys were very small, and they had to be equipped with enough wooden oars, and the distance between the oarsmen was very narrow.

The short and sturdy Japanese people have a unique advantage.

It's just that after these Japanese people entered the South Seas, they suffered several illnesses one after another, which led to the attrition of a large number of oarsmen.

Zhu Han saw that there were many slave oarsmen selling in the slave market in Malacca City, and he couldn't help but want to replenish some from here.

Merely.

Zhu Han and the others came a little late today, those strong and skilled oarsmen have already been bought by others, and the remaining slaves are either too thin to hold up the rest of the voyage, or they are fierce and vicious, and it is quite difficult to train.

Zhu Han inquired and knew that some new slaves would arrive in a few days, so he threw down a few silver coins and set himself the best auction spot in a few days.

The seller of this slave market was a native of Nanyang, and when he saw that Zhu Han and the others were all dressed as Han Chinese, they spoke fluent Ming official dialect, and they were accompanied by guards and translators, and they had already shown their 120,000 respect.

Now after getting Zhu Han's silver coin deposit, he is even more happy and smiling.

"Venerable master, in a few days there will be a group of strong Persian slaves, they are all good hands, and they will not disappoint you!"

The Ming dynasty ruled at the top of the absolute pyramid, and all the Ming soldiers and merchants in the original were higher than the local indigenous nobles.

Therefore, when these Nanyang natives meet the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what the identity of the other party is, the Nanyang natives all respect them as their masters.

After Zhu Han returned to the palace in Wuka City, he ordered someone to summarize all the various orders recently issued by King Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty and show them to himself.

Two days later.

Zhu Wenzheng, the king of Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty, led his palace guards, and finally returned to the city victoriously.

After this battle, Zhu Wenzheng almost wiped out all the tribes on Spice Island.

All tribes that refused to obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty killed all the men and robbed the women, and all the tribes were burned to the ground, completely erasing the tribe from the land.

Under such a strong hand, all the tribes on Spice Island wanted to survive, so they all became the lackeys and slaves of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Wenzheng returned to the city this time, not only bringing back the news of victory, but also bringing back countless loot, boatloads of spices, and countless exquisite animal skins, which could be sold for a high price with a little processing in Malacca.

Moreover, this time the Spice Island was completely pacified, and a large number of indigenous tribes became slaves of the Jingnan Palace, and in the future, whether it was planting grain or collecting spices, they would benefit Zhu Wenzheng immensely.

After Zhu Wenzheng learned of Zhu Han's arrival, he was naturally overjoyed.

didn't even bother to take a look at his own princess, so he couldn't wait to come to Zhu Han to say goodbye.

No way.

Although Zhu Han is only one year older than him, he is also a genuine uncle, and filial piety and etiquette must be mentioned.

"Greetings from my uncle!"

Zhu Wenzheng said with a smile as soon as he saw Zhu Han.

"My own family, don't talk about etiquette." There are no outsiders here, Zhu Han is lazy and Zhu Wenzheng is talking about science and numbers in this place.

"Uncle, this time the spice island was completely taken by me, didn't you say that if rice is planted on this island, it will be worthy of a Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

Zhu Wenzheng couldn't wait to show Zhu Han his achievements.

"These natives are very backward, and it's easy to defeat them, but it's difficult to be in other places." Zhu Han said surgingly.

"Uncle, are you worried that they are barbaric and uncivilized?" Zhu Wenzheng is thorough.

Zhu Wenzheng's rule here was basically based on the strategy of governing the local Tusi from the Ming Dynasty, and he implemented a policy of co-optation and suppression.

But these strategies, in Zhu Han's opinion, are too benevolent.

The production level of the Nanyang natives here is extremely backward, and if you use the Nanyang natives to farm, I am afraid that there will not be much harvest at all, and they often sprinkle a seed or seedling into the field, and then go back to sleep, so Zhu Han's strategy is to let Zhu Wen implement real colonial and bloody rule here.

"Malacca City, an important commercial city, can implement the benevolent government of my Ming Dynasty, so that those indigenous leaders and merchants can gradually be sinicized."

"And in these wild places like Spice Island, this requires a thorough change of strategy!" Zhu Han said.

"A different strategy? What does that mean? ”

Zhu Wenzheng is still a fledgling young man, and he is not able to use these bloody colonial methods handily.

Zhu Han naturally wants to teach his eldest nephew well.

"The natives of Spice Island are lazy and stupid, most of them are tribal, and I don't know how much time it will take to teach them to be good farmers."

"So it's better to use some means to completely eliminate these natives, leaving those useful children and women, and killing all the other men who are not easy to control."

"In this way, the natives of the Spice Island can be replaced by more qualified farmers."

Zhu Han's words surprised Zhu Wenzheng.

Zhu Wenzheng always felt that he was already a thunderous means to deal with those Nanyang natives, but compared with his uncle, he was completely a fledgling literati style.

"But in this case, the natives are dead, and who will work for us?" Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help asking.

"It's not simple, didn't I just say it, a different strategy! Naturally, it is to replace these natives of the South Seas with other races! ”

Zhu Han said very firmly.

"Who replaces?"

That's where the key question lies.

Although the land here in Nanyang is fertile, the temperature is really high, and ordinary people can't bear the high temperature and humidity here.

"The first choice is, of course, my people of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty are hard-working, they can cultivate the land well here in Nanyang, and they can take up arms at any time to protect the safety here."

"It's just that although the population of Daming is growing rapidly, it is not easy to recruit enough people to come to Nanyang in a short period of time."

The recuperation strategy adopted by the Ming Dynasty has allowed the population to grow rapidly, but most of the population growth is dominated by newly-born people such as infants and young children, and the labor force of young and middle-aged people is still lacking in various places.

To turn these new young people into a practical workforce.

It will take at least another decade to wait.

And more than ten years, obviously, it is not that Zhu Wenzheng can wait.

"Our people in the Ming Dynasty are the best choice, and we really can't recruit enough people, and we can also choose other naturalized people." Zhu Han then said his own method.

"What is a naturalized person?"

Zhu Wenzheng has been confused by his uncle.

I even wonder if I am a little ill-informed.

"You can send people to Goryeo, Ryukyu, Wa and other places to recruit some honest and obedient people, as long as they are willing to come to Nanyang to settle here and change it to the customs and life of my Ming Dynasty, then demarcate a piece of land for them to open up the wasteland and cultivate, only need to go through a generation, these people who are not much different from the people of the Central Plains in appearance can be naturalized as Ming nationals."
