Chapter 108: The Inevitable War

Of course, the King of the West tried his best to avoid war, but in the end, he was ready for war. And to deal with war is to put the battlefield on one's own preset battlefield.

Where is this battlefield?

It's the Old Port.

To be precise, off the coast of the Old Port. After all, it is the sailor who really decides the victory.

There is a war here, on the Javanese side, and there is absolutely no moral responsibility. Moreover, the First World War hurt Daming and paved the way for subsequent negotiations.

This is the most sober cognition of the King of the West, for a behemoth like Da Ming, unless he retracts it himself. Otherwise, if you lose a hundred times, you will still have no problem. As for the situation of King Ezio in Java, even if he wins three or five times in a row, it is estimated that there will be changes in Java.

And no matter whether King Wulu or King Dong, he will not let him win in a battle.

The best result is a war and then a peace.

In his opinion, this is also the best result for Daming. It was originally a mistake for the Ming Dynasty to go south.

------

Chen Zuxiao returned to the old port with such a peace agreement.

After telling Chen Zuyi all about the peace discussion, Chen Zuxiao said; "Big brother, little brother is incompetent, that's all he can do. It's just, if you want me to say, this needs an agreement, what's the use? Decades later, the descendants of the Chen family will probably not even be able to write the word 'Chen'. What's the use of me working so hard? ”

When it comes to the sore spot, there is already a whimpering voice.

Chen Zuyi was expressionless. said: "This is the case, what is the use of saying this? Even if I am willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, is the Ming still willing to accept me? ”

When Chen Zuxiao heard this, his eyes lit up and he said; "Big brother, I'll go to the Dragon's Tooth Gate. Now the governor of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is He Xi, He Yuma, I have done business with him, and I can be regarded as having contact. Maybe you can ------."

Chen Zuyi said: "Enough, I don't want to bow to them." ”

When Chen Zuxiao saw Chen Zuyi, his voice was so strong that he didn't dare to speak more. But deep down in his heart, there is a sentence, that is, he can bow his head to the Javanese people so much, but when he meets the Ming court, he puts on a shelf like this. Isn't that a contradiction?

Actually, quite the opposite.

Chen Zuyi would rather bow his head to the Javanese and be humiliated by the Javanese. Because deep down he is confident. Now that my self-confidence has been lost to you, I will definitely take it out in the future, and the current humiliation will definitely be washed away with blood in the future.

But for Daming, Chen Zuyi does not have this confidence.

Secondly, many people feel that some things are embarrassing and thrown outside. But there are just some people who would rather throw people out than lose face to their own people.

Chen Zuyi is a talented person. But fleeing from Daming in embarrassment was the trough of his life. He may not have a breath in his heart, and he must let the Ming Dynasty see what kind of person he Chen Zuyi is. And at this time, let him surrender to Daming, 100,000 unwillingly.

As for Java, an unrelated person. The eldest husband can be humiliated by his crotch, what is this?

One last reason.

Java is an outsider. Chen Zuyi has been in Nanyang for so many years. He knew that Javanese grammar was vulgar. The text is simple. There are not even many serious history books, and after he gains power in the future, he will be cleaned up a little, and who knows what he has done. But what is the situation in the Ming court.

It is estimated that in the Nanyang Governor's Palace, there are several people writing a diary of the Southern Expedition, Nanyang Ji. Nanyang terroir record, from the diary, and so on. There are even government records, which were sent from here to Nanjing.

Bending to Daming is a shame to be thrown into history. And Java has no say in the historiography system of the Ming Dynasty.

No one cares what happens in Java. It's as if no one cares what happened to the Indians.

Chen Zuyi's thoughts are not something that Chen Zuxiao can understand.

------

A few days later.

The Javanese army numbered as many as 50,000 or 60,000 warships, and the black ground covered the sea outside the old port. For a while, there was a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

And Chen Zuyi also changed the costume of the Han people. Dressed as an Indian-Degree person. There was even a hole in the nose and a gold nose ring was put on. It looks like a brahmin.

Chen Zuyi not only let himself change, but also let most of his subordinates change their clothes. Although I couldn't find so many clothes for a while. But the leaders have changed their attire.

It's just that Chen Zuyi didn't find that his outfit was incompatible with the outfit of the Han people under his command. Many soldiers who have followed Chen Zuyi from birth to death saw Chen Zuyi so strange for the first time.

For Chen Zuyi's appearance, it is not that he is not unsatisfied.

For example, the king of the West who came from afar.

King Xi looked at Chen Zuyi and said; "Jun Chen, you are very good. From now on, you will be the nobles of the Majapahit Kingdom, and the Old Port will be your fiefdom. No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty is, it is also on the edge of the sky, and the sea is full of japahit. ”

Chen Zuyi reined in his edge and made promises.

After the king of the West arrived in the old port, he did not stop, but continued to send envoys to recruit large and small forces throughout the island of Sumatra. The tens of thousands of troops of the King of the West are already the most powerful troops in the entire island of Sumatra.

There is such a big movement here, it is impossible for the news not to leak.

Soon the news reached Da Ming.

------

"Hey, hey, hey." Lu Zhongheng was shirtless, revealing his scarred upper body, and together with ordinary soldiers, he rammed the earth little by little. Build the first city of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang.

This city is not very big. It's just a port that guards the port of Singapore.

Now, though, there's a name. It's called NSW.

It was from what he started.

On the one hand, it is a nostalgia for the future generations of Singapore. In addition, it is a sign that it is a new beginning.

During this time, the sailor was trying to familiarize himself with the water conditions in the area. And the soldiers of the mahout guard, all shirtless, followed Lu Zhongheng to do manual work, build the city, and reclaim the surrounding land.

In short, behind the development of Nanyang is the silent labor of countless people.

However, He Xi was also impressed by Lu Zhongheng.

Before, He Xi felt that Lu Zhongheng had fallen into the eyes of money. I'm worried that he is too greedy for money and can't fight in the future, what should I do?

Now, He Xi can see it. Even though Lu Zhongheng's eyes are full of money, for him, he doesn't have to think about it at all, it is instinct.

The mahout guard is not Lu Zhongheng's soldier, but in less than a month, Lu Zhongheng has already mingled with the top and bottom, eliminated the strangeness, and even learned to speak the local dialect of Guangxi. Communicate directly with the low-level soldiers, and even more so, work with the ordinary soldiers.

He Xi just started, and he thought that Lu Zhongheng was putting on a show, but after a long time, he knew that it was different.

He Xi compares his heart to his heart. Lu Zhongheng did this, how could he not be a soldier?

Lu Zhongheng may not have a clever plan in military affairs, but as far as the matter of commanding troops is concerned, he is so experienced that practice makes perfect. Even if, now it is He Xi who will dominate the situation in Nanyang again. But Lu Zhongheng has already done his best. Including the sailor's.

It turns out that Lu Zhongheng's founding title has no moisture at all. After all, there are so many people who follow Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants cannot have Lu Zhongheng alone. Why Lu Zhongheng has this honor. There's a reason for that, too.

He Xi was also much more relieved.

He Xi asked Lu Zhongheng to come over. Lu Zhongheng was shirtless and sweating profusely. Wiping his sweat with a towel, he said, "What's wrong?" ”

He Xi said: "Something happened. ”

He Xi handed the information in his hand to Lu Zhongheng.

Lu Zhongheng took it with both hands, and when he pressed it, there was a wet finger print, and he padd it with a towel before taking it. I couldn't help but sigh: "This hot place." Then he looked at this information, and after reading it, he said, "What do you mean?" ”

He Xi said: "I'm afraid this battle can't be avoided. If Java were allowed to reoccupy Sumatra, then the king of Chunghyun would be shaken, and without the support of the king of Chunghyun, it would be even more difficult for us here. I can't help it. Although, now is not the time for war, but if Java is not hurt, we will not have the opportunity to see the construction of Xinzhou City. ”

In fact, He Xi is also a person who does not want to go to war.

It's not that he's afraid of Java, the biggest problem is that now Daming has encountered too many difficulties. He Xi wanted to straighten out these things and go to war with Java again.

It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that the time is not right.
