Zhu Youzhen chatted with Uniri for a while, and he could be regarded as having a deeper understanding of Tumut.

Omubu is a man who knows how to be soft, and when faced with an enemy stronger than himself, he chooses to submit to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that those who know the times are handsome, and it can also be said that it is human nature. And the most important reason is because Da Ming is strong enough at this moment.

If you don't return to the Ming Dynasty, you have to bow to the Hudun Rabbit.

But if they surrender Hudun Rabbit, and then they are killed by Daming, their fate will not be better.

Feel free to simply do it in one step and go directly to Daming.

Anyway, the Ming people have always been not very enthusiastic about the land outside the gates, so how should they live their lives or how should they live when the time comes?

Regarding the matter of Tumut's submission, Zhu Youzhen exchanged views with several members of the cabinet. A number of detailed plans have been drawn up to better govern the land outside the border in the future.

Three days later, Uniri set out on his return journey.

He was accompanied by a eunuch and more than a dozen bodyguards.

They planned to set out from the capital, go directly to Ningxia to go out of the customs, go to the place where Omubu was stationed to read the holy decree, and canonize Omubu as the king of Shunyi.

In the past two days, Unige has really gained knowledge.

I thought that according to the description in his guidebook, the capital was prosperous enough, but who knew that this time I was in the middle of it, I realized what kind of frog at the bottom of the well I had always been.

Maybe Liu Dong caught the wrong person and did something to him, so he apologized. In the past two days, he has taken special leave to be a guide for Uniri, taking him to eat delicious food and have fun. It really made Unige feel at home.

Therefore, when he left, he still felt a little reluctant.

The belonging of Tumut seemed to be a happy event that could be celebrated in the past, but in the past few years, Daming has been constantly doing things, so that everyone is not very excited about this matter.

A small tribe outside the border has surrendered, what is there to be excited about?

Time doesn't stop passing because of who arrives or leaves, and the capital has ushered in its first snow since the beginning of winter, which comes later than usual.

At this time, it has just entered November, and it is already cold.

Zhu Youjian became more and more aware of the powerful destructive power of the Xiaoice River period.

In the past few years, he has invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources in ensuring the living conditions of the people, just to prevent the people from freezing to death and starving to death in this severe cold weather. Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate this situation, but it is much better than the inaction of the original government.

Taiwan, Luzon, Cochin, rice from these places was continuously transported to the capital, which greatly relieved the pressure of grain consumption in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with the popularization and planting of new grains such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, rye, and corn, the people who farm the land can basically solve the problem of food and clothing.

After November, it was the month of wax.

In the last month of the year, Zhu Youzhen received good news.

Good news from the sea.

Xie Xuelong and the Spaniards signed the Treaty of Jiaxu.

This matter has to start from a few months ago.

Dozens of ships of the First Fleet, which departed at the end of July, reached the Gulf of Mexico after a month-long voyage.

The reason why it is so slow is because there are stops and stops along the way, and every time you go to a Spanish colony, you will inevitably stop at the shore to observe under the banner of supplies.

Manraka, Ceylon, Mozambique, Angola and a series of other places, Xie Xuelong has visited all of them, but it is only a general terrain.

In his eyes, these are the benefits that can be fought for in future negotiations.

Manraka, for example, is close to the Strait of Malacca, and if an army is stationed there in the future, it will certainly benefit immensely.

Besides, Ceylon, an island country that is very close to the Mughal Empire, if you build a fleet there, wouldn't it be a springboard to use troops against them at any time?

Then there is Mozambique and Angola, which sit on such a large continent, and the people on them are black as if they had just been pulled out of the coal pile, and they look extremely suitable for slavery.

Along the way, Xie Xuelong has really gained a lot of knowledge.

The real experience is much more exciting than the one in the book. Xie Xuelong has seen too many things that have not been seen in books, eating, drinking, and using.

The farther he went, the more he realized why His Majesty was keen to expand his territory and obsessed with doing business with these red-haired ghosts whom they called barbarians.

In the end, the blame is still a good word.

Through business, the Ming Dynasty can obtain large profits and feed back to the country, and when the court is rich, it can naturally create benefits for more people.

When the people's lives are better, they will naturally stabilize.

After learning about this journey, he is full of confidence in this trip to Spain.

He has already made up his mind that no matter what means are used, he will sign a contract with Spain, and he must maximize the benefits!

After entering the Gulf of Mexico, he found a small island and stopped.

Basking in the sun on the deck every day, practicing soldiers, waiting for Franco to arrive behind.

Franco rode on an old-fashioned galleon, which was slow and needed more people, and had more stops on the way for supplies. Therefore, the speed is far inferior to that of a steamship that can run by burning coal.

According to Xie Xuelong's estimate, in two months, it would be good for them to arrive.

The days of waiting should logically be peaceful.

But the appearance of the fleet has broken this tranquility.

On this day, Xie Xuelong watched Lu Shiyun finish training the soldiers, and was about to enter the cabin to drink saliva. Suddenly, I heard a hurried whistle.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Xie Xuelong knew that he was in an emergency and was ready to enter the battle state at any time.

He picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, and a fleet of ships appeared on the western sea. Looking at the number, I'm afraid there are no less than thirty ships.

Xie Xuelong frowned, thinking about his next move.

He didn't know where this fleet came from, and even less what they were trying to do.

If it is an enemy, direct shelling is. But if not, it will be more troublesome, I came to negotiate, and I can't sink someone's sea fleet as soon as I come, right?

Scare is scare, and you can't do it before you negotiate?

Xie Xuelong thought benevolently.

But nevertheless ordered the soldiers to be brought into combat readiness.

Eighteen warships were divided into two teams, arranged in a herringbone pattern, standing quietly on the sea, waiting for each other's arrival.

"Warning shots, flags, and asking them what they are coming from."

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was not far away, Xie Xuelong put down the binoculars and instructed Lu Shiyun.

Lu Shiyun quickly carried out his orders.

Artillery rang out, but the direction was off. Then, there is the flag language, asking the other party for the purpose of coming.

But the other party did not respond several times, but continued to approach them.

"Can't find death?" Xie Xuelong was a little angry. "Keep firing the cannon, and after three times, if you still keep going, then fight!"

"Yes! Overseer! ”

Lu Shiyun rubbed his hands excitedly.
