When Zhu Zhanyan received the news from the grassland, his reaction was simple.

Jeer.

Miracles are called miracles because miracles are usually impossible to happen and cannot be replicated.

Zhu Zhanyan is a miracle.

In the world ruled by Confucianism, the people who were born were basically the kind of Confucian scholars who were full of the idea of governing the country with benevolence, and in the case of not counting the emperor, Confucianism was actually the one who influenced the government.

General......

To put it mildly, the military general is actually a weapon in the hands of Confucianism.

In this case, the probability of a person like Zhu Zhan Yan appearing is very small, and the probability of having both Zhu Zhan Yan's thoughts and Zhu Zhan Yan's identity is even smaller.

Historically, this has been the case with almost every dynasty, except in the early stage of the uphill period, the emperors of the middle and late periods, and even the royal family, are all the kind of wine bags and rice bags that are powerless.

Under this kind of thinking, it is strange that the imperial court will fight with the grassland.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan didn't care about it at all, and after knowing the news, he threw it aside and began to concentrate on his own affairs.

The first thing he had to deal with was the Khmer and Cham states.

After receiving the edict of the Ming Dynasty, the Khmer and Cham countries did not move for a long time.

This is actually normal.

The idea of the Khmer and Cham countries is actually the same as that of the previous Warat, it is nothing more than that the situation is stronger than people, and they can't beat the Ming Dynasty, so they simply bow their heads and say that they are attached to the country.

This is the same as what Zhu Zhanyan said before, saying that it is attached to the country, but it is only in name, in fact, people still take care of themselves, they don't have to take care of anything except tribute every year, and even the taxes are their own.

Even the tribute is beneficial, after all, the reward of the Ming Dynasty is much higher than the value of the tribute they prepare for the tribute.

But now, Da Ming has changed and does not play cards according to the routine.

I just want to keep my head down temporarily, and when you get old and can't hold a knife anymore, I'll change my body and change back to my original appearance.

But what about you? Good guy, want to copy my old bottom directly?

It was different from what he expected, or even very different, and the Khmer and Cham countries were naturally unhappy.

However, according to the law of conservation of energy, the totality of this world remains the same.

The Khmer and Cham countries are unhappy, but Zhu Zhan is happy!

Why did he play Yingtian before, trying to forcibly interfere with Yingtian's decision, so that the previous policy of appeasement was forcibly stillborn? Isn't it just that he doesn't want to see a thunder left around him?

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan directly asked people to take his troops to the Khmer border.

As for the people who lead the troops......

Or Kunzashi.

That's right, you read that right, it's Kun Tashi, he's back.

Originally, Kun Tashi was going back to Uszangdusi to be punished, after all, on the surface, he was a private soldier and the culprit of invading other countries, but ......

Someone will make it all easy.

However, in fact, the Khmer and Cham countries were not the main focus of his attention, because the Khmer and Cham countries, although important, were not the most important.

And, to tell the truth, even if the Khmer and Cham countries are too big to lose, but to put it bluntly, they are two weak chickens, how difficult can they be solved no matter how difficult they are?

Is it difficult to beat? Or is it difficult not to disobey the will of the imperial court?

If they can't be defeated, the Khmer and Cham countries will not be forced into this position.

As for the will of the imperial court......

Hehe.

What was he Zhu Zhan afraid of?

Isn't the Wa Kingdom a country that Emperor Taizu Gao set for non-conquest? Zhu Zhan was not wiped out, not to mention the slaughter of the city, but also built two fattening and enlarged Jingguan.

Isn't Siam a country that Emperor Taizu Gao set for not to conquer? Didn't Zhu Zhanyan still let them take a bath with white phosphorous eggs?

Therefore, Zhu Zhan's main concern now is not the Khmer and Cham countries in the east of Xiangzhou Province, but Manraka in the south of Xiangzhou Province.

As the Strait of Malacca, which Zhu Zhan Yan attaches the most importance to, it is impossible for Zhu Zhan Yan not to pay attention to it, but the more he pays attention, the more difficult it is to deal with.

Elsewhere he could use devastating attacks, such as white phosphorous eggs, but not Manraga.

He wanted a complete Strait of Malacca, which could be taken over immediately and of value, not a ruin that would require a lot of manpower, material resources and energy to rebuild.

He originally wanted to let Jian Xiao pass, and then follow behind himself, and when Jian Xiao won Manraka, he would directly enter and start to organize and use.

However, the arrival of a man changed his plans slightly.

Zheng He.

"Zheng He meets His Royal Highness."

Zheng He can now be said to be the only person in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is an official or a minister, or a royal family member, it can be said that he is courteous.

Zhu Zhanyan is no exception.

Although Zheng He was not a member of the original Han Dynasty, his achievements can be admired by all later generations.

Therefore, even if the camps are different, and there is also the identity bonus of the royal family, Zhu Zhanyan will never put up a fight against Zheng He.

"Commander Zheng is preparing to set off again?" Zhu Zhanyan looked at Zheng He with a smile on his face.

This smile is actually not the kind of smile that has a good feeling, but ridicule is not counted, but there is a meaning of crying and laughing.

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, yes." Zhu Zhanyan didn't put on a show, but Zheng He didn't dare to accept it so grandly.

"His Royal Highness, this is something that His Majesty ordered Zheng He to bring you, take a look."

"Commander Zheng, this is ......" The smile on Zhu Zhanyan's face never changed, and he pointed to the treasure ship docked on the beach with a little strangeness.

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, this is the Rui Beast Qilin that Malin Kingdom has paid tribute to, and His Majesty has specially ordered Zheng He to bring you one."

That's right, Kirin.

Of course, the unicorn is the name of the Ming Dynasty, and it is actually the giraffe in history.

For this thing, the people of Daming are very strange, but it is nothing for Zhu Zhanyan.

Although he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, he has watched it on TV and the Internet I don't know how many times, what's so strange?

"Tsk, this thing ......" Zhu Zhanyan asked thoughtfully as he watched the boatmen on the boat lead the giraffes off the boat.

"Can you eat it?"

……

Zhu Zhanyan silenced Zheng Hegan with a word, so that he didn't know what to answer.

Kirin! Although you are the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, can you have a minimum respect for this beast?

Also, even if you don't respect this beast, do you want to respect the Ming Emperor? This is what his old man gave you?

If this is an ordinary person, you should have served your ancestors a long time ago, you are good, you want to eat?

"Uh......" Zheng He pondered for a moment and looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a little uncertainty.

"Your Highness, this is a reward from Your Majesty, and it is also a Rui Beast Qilin, do you want to ...... Well...... Just think again? ”

Zhu Zhanyan shrugged his shoulders when he heard this.

He really didn't care about this thing, because in his opinion, it was useless to keep this thing, and it was better to have a few dogs.

The dogs are good, they eat whatever they eat, they don't need to be served, and they can even help you with their work.

To raise this thing, you have to live and serve, because this is the emperor's reward, although with Zhu Zhanyan's current identity and status, even if he is roasted and eaten on the spot, it is nothing, but things are not like that.

"Okay......" Zhu Zhanyan smacked his lips, looking a little disappointed.

He really wanted to taste what the meat of this giraffe tasted like, and when he was in Yingtian, he had eaten the venison from the side of Nu'er Gandusi, and he had also eaten the meat of roe deer and muntjac lewd, but what about giraffes......

He really hadn't eaten it.

"Is there anything else Commander Zheng is up to?" Zhu Zhanyan asked Zheng He while directing people to pull the cumbersome giraffe back.

In Zhu Zhan's opinion, Zheng He was still ordered to go to the West this time, even if he was a part-time courier and sent this giraffe to himself, he would definitely not stay for a long time.

"One more thing." Zheng He nodded, but didn't continue, but looked around with a bit of deep meaning.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand.

Zhu Ling quickly led people away, leaving a large enough place for Zhu Zhanyan and Zheng He.

"His Royal Highness." Zheng He bowed slightly and came to Zhu Zhanyan's side.

"Your Majesty heard that His Highness is preparing to deal with the affairs of Manraka, so he specially asked Zheng He to come over and ask if you need any help."

"Not only can it be played by the imperial court, but this treasure fleet can also be called at will."

？？？

Zhu Zhanyan turned his head to look at Zheng He in surprise.

Manraka.

Zhu Zhanyan really didn't expect the old man to do this, because although this is in line with the actual character of the old man, it is not in line with the style of an emperor.

Although Bairi Missula was recognized by Daming by deception and miserable methods, Daming also recognized it no matter how he said it.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of thing, most emperors will make mistakes, firstly, because the cost of correcting mistakes is too high and not worth it, and secondly, it is not necessary.

But this time......

"The treasure fleet is not needed, as for other ......" Zhu Zhanyan looked thoughtfully in the northeast direction.

There is the direction of Ying Tianfu.

"I'll talk to my grandfather about other needs, and Commander Zheng should focus on the great cause of the ocean first."

"Besides, didn't you bring a lot of envoys with you this time, ready to escort them back to their own country?"

"It's not good to bring envoys with you for such a thing as a war, so I don't bother Commander Zheng."

"Well, it's up to you." Zheng He bowed slightly.

Zheng He is a courtier who is ordered to do things, since Zhu Zhanyan said no, he naturally will not catch up, after all, it will be the court that will contribute at that time, not him.

If he needs to contribute personally, then he has nothing to say, whether it is to talk about stammering or doing things according to the rules, he will help.

But it is the imperial court that contributes, and he is not qualified to call the shots.

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't need to use the treasure fleet, then Zheng He will leave first." Zheng He took two steps back and bowed to Zhu Zhan very respectfully.

"Commander Zheng walks slowly." Zhu Zhanyan nodded, but said with deep meaning.

"Remind me, Commander Zheng should be careful when he overruns the Manraka, and don't capsize the boat in the gutter."
