Chapter 128: King Wulu's Judgment

After King Wulu let everyone disperse, only King Dong remained.

All the emotions before King Wulu seemed to disappear like a tide. King Wulu sat down on his golden throne like a statue.

The king of the east stood below, and he couldn't walk. Neither is it if you don't go. After a while, he said, "Father, I'm going down to straighten out the army." ”

King Wulu nodded and said, "This thing must be done well. As long as you make a great contribution to killing the king of the west, you will be able to sit in this position in the future. But that's not the most important thing now. ”

The king of the east said, "What is the most important thing? ”

King Wulu said, "The king of the west came by land, so why didn't he take the sea route?" ”

Dongwang was stunned.

I've already said that.

In terms of the topography of Java. It is much more convenient to travel by sea than by land. Whether it is because sea transportation is more convenient than land transportation, or land transportation facilities are not perfect. The sea route is better than the land route. Not to mention, the King of the West has the help of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's ability to fight naval battles, they have all seen it with their own eyes.

Naturally, I know that it is not something they can deal with now.

Therefore, there should be no problem for the king of the west to come by sea. Why go by road.

The king of the east pondered for a while and said, "The king of the west wants to recruit rebels and include the nobles along the way into the army. ”

King Wulu said: "It is okay to advance by land and water. ”

"This ------," said the king of the east, "I don't know." ”

King Wulu said: "The only reason is the Great Ming. There are problems between the Ming Dynasty and the King of the West, and there are many problems. ”

The East King said: "I think the Ming Dynasty is more hateful than the West King, and I have already inquired clearly." If it weren't for the persecution of the Ming Dynasty, the King of the West would not have killed his sister. I will definitely avenge my sister. ”

In fact, the relationship between Dongwang and his sister is not good.

His sister was a concubine and had the inheritance of the empire from the beginning. And he was an illegitimate child, and he grew up hiding in a place where he couldn't see the light. The two are not small in age, and they didn't grow up together. Not in the same living environment. When we meet each other, our values and everything are already mature.

How good can their relationship be?

It's nothing more than that the king of the east looks at King Wulu and values his sister. At this moment, I want to add points in front of King Wulu. But I don't know, I lost points.

Although King Wulu has a deep affection for his son and daughter, he knows that as a king, he must not be emotional. Even his previous defeat is a lesson from the past. Of course, although he knew, he might not be able to do it.

But seeing that Dongwang originally had no feelings for his sister, he pretended to take revenge.

I was very disappointed.

This is also the curse of almost all heroes in their later years, always looking down on their sons.

King Wulu adjusted his mind and said, "Your sister's matter has passed. Now I only talk about the battle situation, the battle on the island, I am actually not too worried, the king of the west is here, all the way is violent, in fact, it is just a rabble. As long as he guards resolutely, there are not many people in his core army, and all he is coerced is some wall grass, and it is easy to stop his troops. However, it was a victory for him. Because he pushed his area of control to Central Java, the population of West Java is not large, but it is enough for him to gain a foothold. The confrontation with us has gone on for a long time. ”

"Still, it's not the worst of all. You know what's the scariest thing? ”

The East King said; "What does Father mean?"

King Wulu said faintly: "Java is an island after all, if the Ming army comes ashore from the east, and we face the enemy on both sides, the situation will be very unbearable." Therefore, no matter what grievances he had with the Ming people before, now he must get in touch with the Ming people at all costs. Let them be on my side. ”

"What the king of the West can give him. I can give it too. And give more. ”

"No matter what method you use. Be sure to get in touch with Akito, direct contact. ”

The king of the east immediately agreed. It's just that he secretly complains in his heart. The Ming people are in the west, if you want to get in touch with the Ming people, you need to pass through the territory of the king of the west, and the current situation, how easy is it to talk about?

However, things soon took a turn for the better.

------

Semarang, it's not called that here.

However, the natural topography has not changed much. It is a natural bay and already has a basic pier for people to come and go. However, there was no large-scale construction. And the guard here is nothing more than a local nobleman and thousands of people. It's not as good as a village in Daming.

Almost the Great Ming Sailor hit a round to the shore. Here you can look at the wind.

He Xi asked Fang Guan and said; "How's it going here?"

Fang Guan said: "The port conditions are good, although there are mountains around, but most of them are plains, and the land is fertile, three crops a year. The natural conditions are good. The only problem is that it's too deep here. It's all enemies all around. Either we have a large number of people stationed here. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold it at all. ”

He Xi said: "You don't have to worry about this. I'll figure it out. ”

Fang said secretly: "What a way." ”

It's just that he already knows before he asks.

Because after laying down here, the news spread. The Majapahit Dynasty did not send a large army to encircle and suppress, but instead sent an envoy.

The messenger brought more than a dozen precious gifts, including pepper and a thousand catties of spices. If these things are transported back to Daming, they will be worth one or two thousand taels at least. Not to mention, other things, gold and silver ornaments, Bayeux sutras, etc.

Buddhism arose in Indo-Dhism, so here in Java it is the mainstream. But Buddhism has always existed. King Wulu's grandmother, the queen of the time, was very Buddhist. He even asked King Wulu to issue some edicts restricting Buddhism.

It seems that I have heard that Buddhism is also spread in the Central Plains.

That's why these are here.

He Xi only glanced at these gifts, and he asked, "But I don't know what King Wulu has in mind." ”

The envoy said, "King Wulu originally wanted to come and talk in person. It's just that the war is urgent, and there is no way to get out. It is to ask Daming to send people to the national capital to talk. It's a gift. ”

He Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I agreed." ”

Fang Guan's face changed slightly. It's just that because outsiders are present, I don't dare to say more. A moment later, after the envoy left, Fang Guan immediately said, "My lord, Master Hou instructed him before he came. I won't let you go ashore and land. Not to mention, if you go into an enemy camp alone, the consequences can be dire if the enemy finds out who you are. ”

He Xi said: "I know. ”

Fang Guan said: "Do you know that you are still going? ”

He Xi said: "Outside, the monarch's order is still unacceptable." What's more, what Ji Anhou means, do you think he can control me? ”

Fang Guan was speechless for a while. It stands to reason that he is a person on the He Xi line. Listening to He Xi's words is a matter of course. Instead of listening to Lu Zhongheng.

He Xi's tone slowed down slightly, and said, "I know, this thing is very dangerous. But I had a reason to go. The policy of the Ming Dynasty in Java was to maintain the chaos in Java as much as possible, and it would be best if it could last for one or two hundred years. ”

"The land, the population, the iron ore of Java. Copper ore. and other aspects, it is the crown of the South Seas. As long as there is a unified government in Java, it is a non-negligible existence in the South Seas. ”

"In order to eliminate this threat, it is acceptable to take some risks."

"Not to mention, King Wulu is a smart man. He also wanted to get in touch with Da Ming at the moment. As for my identity, first of all, how did Java know it? Secondly, at this time, even if they knew, they would never dare to touch me. ”

"And for a more important reason, I want to know who will win on the two sides of the King of the West and the King of Wulu. If we look at it from the outside, we can't judge accurately. So, this trip I have to go. No one can stop it. ”

At this time, it was actually time for Daming to choose a partner again.

He Xi saw this, and saw that the Majapahit Empire, which was taken by surprise, had quite a lot of overlap with the interests of the Ming Dynasty. But more importantly, that's what He Xi said. The only way to understand what Java is like today is what it really looks like.

In order to truly understand who to partner with next. Choose who to bet on.

The Ming never wanted to re-cultivate a new Javanese dynasty.
