The land of the South Seas can be regarded as a retreat for Zhu Su's trip. Even if Zhu Di lost the war with the Timurid Empire, the land route was too high and the terrain was complicated, and it was far less safe than the sea route, so he would have to withdraw to the Ming Dynasty by sea.

Zhu Su originally planned to ask Tang He, the prince of Xinguo, who was guarding the south of the Yangtze River, to send a fleet to patrol the South Seas, but Tang He was old and frail after all, and it would be best if Li Jinglong could take on the big responsibility.

Most of the sailors on the left and right islands of the Nanyang Islands are only from Daoyi, with the help of artillery, and the rich family of the Cao Guogong Mansion as fire logistics, even if Li Jinglong is really a straw bag, he should be safe.

So Zhu Su began to work on the affairs of Dawan in front of him. In addition to building a port, the top priority was to send an envoy to Takayama and other islands with the power of victory. Zhu Su still handed over this matter to Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong knew that the Gaoshan Department was naturally the main thing, and he had a relationship with the patriarch of the Gaoshan Tribe, and it was most appropriate for him to go to this matter personally. Although the other islands were frightened by the cannonballs, it was still quite dangerous to go to other places.

Fortunately, there are many of the Guozi prisoners who came with the team, and one of the prisoners volunteered to be willing to serve as an envoy on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. Li Jinglongzhi was strong, and allocated half of the guards of the Cao Guo Mansion who was guarding him to the prisoner, and the two of them went to the north and south to start the envoy's journey.

God bless the bright, a few days later, both teams returned safely. Li Jinglong's side was free of danger and danger, and the patriarch of the Gaoshan tribe had a close relationship with Daming, and when he heard that Daming had repelled the joint attack of the Daoyi tribes, the last trace of concern was naturally gone, and he readily agreed to Daming's gift.

Since then, the Gaoshan Department has become a Tusi of the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute to the Ming court. Although they are still only nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they do not report hostility to the port station of the Ming Dynasty and are willing to trade with the Ming Dynasty, it is actually enough. As long as this seed is sown, there will be a time when it will take root and sprout in Dawan in the future.

As for the other way, it is much more thrilling, and the Zhubu Daoyi who fled back can be said to hate the Ming Dynasty to the core, and when they saw the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty, they simply wanted to eat their flesh and then quickly. However, the prisoner did not fall into the prestige of the Ming court, and knew and respected the Daoyi patriarchs, and successfully made them recognize the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty's construction of a port town in the northern part of Dawan, and promised that they would never invade the land of the Ming Dynasty again.

As soon as this matter is settled, the preliminary arrangement in Dawan can be regarded as settled. After the Ming Dynasty was recognized by the islanders, the port no longer needed a large number of Ming troops to garrison, and the merchants could take over the important task of establishing the port and trading with the Quartet. According to the agreement with the merchants. Naturally, two merchants volunteered to stay and take over the construction of the port, attracting people to settle down.

"To the west of Dawan is the Big Belly Kingdom, and those Daoyi who came to attack took advantage of the power of this kingdom, and now my father has sent an envoy to order it to join the Heavenly Tribute, I don't think I will be embarrassed anymore."

"It's easier here, and it's easier elsewhere. Most of the Nanyang Zhuyi have already served my Ming as the master, even if there are those who do not respect the Ming Dynasty, there are not as reckless as the Dawan side. You took the fleet to inspect the Nanyang lands, and if there was a suitable place for a port, you took my Ming Dynasty letter to find the lord of the land to set up a concession, and then taught the merchants to build a port. ”

"There is a lot of Nanyang treasures and spices, as long as this treasure land is operated well, it is not a great achievement that can make Daming go to the next level."

Li Jinglong nodded, knowing that Zhu Su had given him a great achievement, and he couldn't hide his gratitude to Zhu Su in his heart. He muttered for a while, and then opened his mouth and said, "It's just that the little nephew took away the ships and sailors of the fifth uncle's fleet, what if the fifth uncle is in danger when he goes west?" ”

"Besides, the fifth uncle originally asked me to come with me, and the little nephew should have been there to help the fifth uncle. Now that the fifth uncle is left alone, the little nephew is really uneasy in his heart......"

"The eldest husband lives in the world, where are there so many mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law?" Zhu Su scolded with a smile. "Originally, I tricked you to come, just to pull a few more families into the water, in case things don't work out, it's better to share the expenses and culpability...... But now where and where are you going, you have consumed so many shells for me, leaving this ruined nephew by your side, after the fifth uncle and I return to the court, I must not be collected by the household department until there is no pants left? ”

"Or quickly separated...... What you use is counted as your Cao Guo's mansion, and what I use is my Zhou's mansion. As for help, do I have no one to use? ”

This time he went to sea, and Zhu Su also brought a lot of noble children. originally thought that Li Jinglong was the most noble, and if he left Li Jinglong to support the ships at sea when he aided Zhu Di, Li Jinglong would be able to suppress those second ancestors. Now it's a big deal to go ashore when the time comes, and pull all these nobles into the battle array.

The children of the Ming Dynasty should not raise waste.

So Zhu Su divided three lucky ships, dozens of recruited merchant ships loaded with the guns of the Baoyuan Bureau to Li Jinglong, as the team of the new Nanyang Naval Division, and then led the remaining dozens of ships to sail in the direction of Persia. The fleet sailed through the Bay of Bengal after replenishing at Canton, and after replenishing fresh water again on the island of Ceylon, it came to the area near the left of India.

This place is very close to the Persian region, Zhu Di said in the letter in the past, only said that he was ready to use the thirsty stone city as a base, contain the throat of the Timurid Empire, in order to conquer the Persian lands, but did not talk about the specific region of Persia that he was going to fight. Zhu Su couldn't guess where to go to land and join Zhu Di.

In this era, communication is extremely difficult, and Central Asia and the Ming Dynasty are thousands of miles apart, and Zhu Su is completely blind to the current situation of Zhu Di's army. Rao is a traverser, and he also feels that this completely unfamiliar land is dangerous everywhere. Although the journey on the sea is quite smooth, but as long as you land, you will undoubtedly face a thousand difficulties and dangers, whether it is language, culture, or even the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in this place, I am afraid that it has no effect, and my own army is only 10,000 people.

"Your Highness, where should we land from Persia, please show me your Highness." Cao Yuan, the general of the personal guard, asked Zhu Sudao for instructions.

Zhu Su pondered for a long time, and his fingers swept over many regions of Persia one by one. Although, as Zhu Di said, Timur's northern expedition to the Golden Horde, the Persian region must be empty at this time. But who knows if the situation has changed over the past few months.

If Timur had returned to his division at this time, he would have died if he had met the army of the Timurid Empire. Moreover, there are few countries around Persia to mess with, such as Black Sheep, Mamluks, and even the Ottoman Empire...... All of them are masters with great names in Central Asia. What if they also took advantage of the Ming Dynasty to disturb Timur's hinterland and march into Persia and wanted a piece of the pie?

After hastily landing in Persia, and then looking for the whereabouts of Zhu Di's army, it is very likely that all of them will be trapped there.

"Your Highness?" Cao Yuan looked at Zhu Su and was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but remind.

"Well, I'm not going to Persia." After thinking about it, Zhu Su finally made a decision.

"Persia is not necessarily the softest persimmon, since you have pinched it, you might as well pick up the softest persimmon to pinch."

"Let's go...... Over here! Zhu Su poked his finger and poked it in a place that Cao Yuan hadn't expected anyway.
