"Report, 2,000 centaurs have been found in the East and are gathering towards the port!"

"It is reported that some ships have been found in the western waters, and their identities are temporarily unknown."

"Report, Ceylon State Port Guard is being assembled."

One observer kept running and loudly reporting what had been discovered.

On the flagship of the Sun and Moon, Zhu Gaoyu sat quietly on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his fingers rhythmically tapping on the armrests of the chair.

Zhu Gaoyu did not personally command the battle, let alone go to the front line to fight as before.

The reason is also very simple, he personally fought with the enemy in the Japanese country, and when he went back, he was scolded by his father fiercely.

That's a terrible thing to say.

Do you have no one under you?

Is there no general in my Ming Dynasty?

When is it the turn of a prince to fight on the front line?

If you like to be a pioneer, okay, then don't go back to the south, go to the north with Lao Tzu, and give Lao Tzu a pioneer himself.

For the old man's reprimand, Zhu Gaoyu was full of slander.

This old man still has the face to talk about him, but he has heard more than once that every time this old man fights, he likes to be on the front line in person, and even leads the troops to charge the battle more than once.

As a result, it was not possible to get to him, which was obviously only allowed to be set on fire by the state officials, and not allowed the people to light lamps.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't know that these words said by the old man were all words that Queen Xu often taught him.

The old man who is trained on weekdays is finally refreshed today.

mistakenly thought that this was Zhu Gaoyu, who the old man cared about him, and set a rule for himself.

In the future, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never go to the front line to command the battle in person, and give his subordinates more opportunities to perform.

"Order: Ships begin to reload their guns and wait for the flagship's order to fire."

"Order: The dock combat troops are ready for battle, and once the cannon fires, it is necessary to destroy all the enemies who will attack the future."

When he arrived at the sea, Wang Jin, who took over all the commands, looked at the dock in the distance, and calmly issued combat orders one by one.

Jiang Yue was recommended by him, and Zhu Gaoyu did not directly determine Jiang Yue as the king of Ceylon two years ago, but just said it at that time, wanting to see his understanding.

Jiang Yue didn't react at first, it was he who reminded him that the other party had today's achievements.

Now the person he once mentioned betrayed His Royal Highness, which made Lao Wang's face a little unbearable.

There are many people in the navy who were recruited by him, and he always thought that he had a good eye for people.

As a result, he was slapped in the face.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoyu didn't blame him for his past achievements, but he still gave a certain punishment, and he didn't pay for it within a year.

For Lao Wang, the punishment is a trivial matter, and the loss of face is a major matter.

In order not to be seen as a joke in the future, he must get his face back.

Lao Wang secretly swore in his heart that Jiang Yue, a little bastard, had to pick up the other party's skin alive.

"It is reported that the enemy has gathered 6,000 troops and horses outside the dock, but not within the range of the artillery."

"Report, the other party sent a messenger to ask for negotiations with His Highness."

Zhu Gaoyu opened his eyes, looked at Wang Jin, who came over and was about to ask for instructions, and said lightly: "A traitor who doesn't even have the title of king is not qualified to see me." ”

Wang Jin instantly understood, turned to the herald and said: "Let him get out, go back and let him tell Jiang Yue, this little bastard, that if he reins in the precipice now, he can still give him a life, otherwise once the two armies start a war, cutting off his head will be the lightest punishment for him." ”

"Yes!"

The herald answered, turned around and immediately went to pass the message.

After a while, Jiang Yue received a message, and listening to the words from the messenger, he didn't have any expression on his face.

He originally thought that he would give Zhu Gaoyu one last chance, as long as the other party recognized his identity, he would immediately withdraw his troops and continue to maintain a vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that his kindness was rejected.

"Herald: March."

"Defeat the garrison troops in their harbor, and don't go near their ships."

Jiang Yue knew that his strength was limited, and his army was not capable of dealing with the Ming warships.

So he decided to only attack the army on land to show his strength.

If the Daming fleet just left, if it didn't go, he would be exhausted with Daming.

I have sufficient resources on land, and the other party did not replenish the logistics when he arrived yesterday, so many people, see who can't hold it first.

Thinking of Da Ming's embarrassment of having no choice but to retreat because of the depletion of food and water, a smile hung on the corner of Jiang Yue's mouth.

But his smile didn't last long before it gradually cooled down.

He had just given the order, but there was no movement behind him.

Jiang Yue turned his head with a cold look in his eyes, he promoted a few generals, and looked at him expressionlessly, without the slightest intention of carrying out the order.

"Bastard, didn't you hear my orders?"

Good guy, it's really shameless, a small country, even I claim to be on it.

If the old man knows about this, I don't know if he will change his name.

"I hear you."

The general appointed by Jiang Yue replied calmly.

"Why didn't you carry out the order, did you want to rebel!"

Hearing this, the general couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at Jiang Yue with a sarcastic look in his eyes.

"Which of us rebelled, don't you know in your heart?"

"My dear majesty, can you tell me where you got the courage to go to war with the Ming Dynasty."

"Isn't that lesson from the past enough?"

"Haven't we killed enough?"

"We in Ceylon, but we can no longer afford such a toss."

"And I'm afraid you don't know yet."

The general pointed to the fleet on the sea in the distance and said angrily: "Not long ago, His Royal Highness the King of Yue ordered the extermination of a country. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of people in a country, all of them were killed, and there was no piece of armor left, because their king had the audacity to attack the camp of the Ming Dynasty."

"What do you want to do?"

"That country just attacked a Daming camp and was slaughtered, and you are going to attack Daming's fleet today, and you are going to betray His Royal Highness the King of Yue, you know if you don't know what will happen to the entire Ceylon Congress once it fails."

"I won't fail!"

Jiang Yue replied coldly.

Although he was angry, he was a little flustered in his heart.

He really didn't know about the destruction of a country by Daming, and no one told him at all.

If he knew all this, he might choose to hold back for a while and find an opportunity to bring up the matter of detachment again.

It's a pity that it's useless to know now, I've already taken this step, and I can only go one way to the dark.

Jiang Yue looked coldly at the motionless generals and threatened: "Do you think that if you don't do it, the Ming people won't punish you." ”

"I'm telling you, you're wrong."

"The moment you follow me here, in the minds of the Ming people, you are already a thief."

Hearing Jiang Yue's threat, the general laughed again.

"Who said that we came with you to rebel, we were ordered by Daming to arrest the traitor."

"It's just that I saw you coming to the dock, thinking that you were surrendering, so I followed you, and we knew that you were a rebel, so we took you down directly."

"So don't implicate us all, we are not the same country as you."

After speaking, the general raised his hand and waved.

"Take this rebel who rebels against the kingdom and give it to General Ben."

"Whoa..."

In an instant, the Ceylon soldiers who were on standby behind moved in unison, surrounding Jiang Yue and the palace guards beside him.

"Good, good...... Okay very! ”

Looking around at the soldiers surrounding him, Jiang Yue laughed angrily, and at the same time felt a little sad in his heart.

He helped restore the kingdom of Ceylon and would lead them to rule over the entire region of Asan.

But these Ceylonese people are not only ungrateful, but even take revenge.

It's really a group of white-eyed wolves, blind to him, busy day and night for the rise of Ceylon.

I knew that these white-eyed wolves were like this, and they should have focused on enjoyment and exploited these indigenous barbarians ruthlessly.

"Take down the thief."

The general didn't even look at Jiang Yue, and directly ordered the soldiers to do it.

"You want to take me to get credit, dream!"

The other party's thoughts, Jiang Yue He never understood.

In addition to being truly afraid of the Ming Dynasty, the general did this, didn't he just want to use his head to become the new king of Ceylon.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but laugh in his heart, two years ago he became a king through someone else's head, and today his head has become a stepping stone for others to ascend to the throne.

It's really feng shui in turn!

Jiang Yue smiled sadly, pulled out the sword at his waist, and roared angrily with a fierce wave: "Kill!" ”

The guards who followed him were all his kinsmen.

In the past two years, I have enjoyed so much glory and wealth with myself.

If these people want to keep going, they have to fight with themselves.

With Jiang Yue's order, the guards beside him roared and rushed up, colliding with the soldiers, trying to fight a bloody way for him.

It's a pity that they used to be just ordinary people, and they didn't have much combat power in themselves, and they have been patronizing and enjoying themselves in the past two years, and they haven't learned the art of fighting at all.

Even if you are wearing armor, you can ignore part of your defenses, but after all, you will be able to defeat dozens of times the number of enemies.

After a violent collision, the last guard was shot through the door and fell down with hatred.

Whoa...

The Ceylon soldiers stepped over the corpse and surrounded Jiang Yue in the middle again, looking at Jiang Yue with greedy eyes.

If it weren't for the general's explanation, if he wanted to hand over the living Jiang Yue to Daming, many soldiers estimated that in order to grab the merit, they would have stabbed this guy into a blood gourd.

Looking at the spears around him that were almost poking into his face, Jiang Yue's eyes were filled with madness.

A moment ago, he was still a high king, just a blink of an eye, a down-and-out prisoner.

"Jiang Yue, surrender, as long as you surrender, I can intercede with Da Ming on your behalf and protect your whole body."

The general rode up on horseback, looking at Jiang Yue who was surrounded by soldiers with contempt in his eyes.

"You?"

Jiang Yue sneered disdainfully, "A barbarian is also worthy of speaking for me." ”

"Whole corpse, hahaha......"

Jiang Yue looked up to the sky and laughed, "I betrayed the lord, which is a great crime of the Nine Clans. ”

"My entire family of nine clans will die without a place to be buried, what is the use of my whole corpse."

With that, Jiang Yue put his sword around his neck and looked at the angry general.

"If you want to exchange my life for credit, you are not qualified."

After speaking, wipe it vigorously.

His knees fell to the ground with weakness, blood spurting from his mouth and slitted throat.

Looking at the sea in the distance, looking at the huge warship in the distance, and looking at the fluttering battle flag, Jiang Yue's eyes flashed with remorse, and he fell heavily to the ground.

"Bastard! Why not stop, what's the use of a dead man. ”

Looking at Jiang Yue, who committed suicide, the general angrily lifted his horsewhip and whipped the soldiers around him.

The soldiers were also aggrieved.

They saw that Jiang Yue was going to commit suicide, but the problem was that the sword was already on his neck, what did they do to stop it, could they just stab the other party with a gun and prevent him from committing suicide?

The Ming army soon received the news, and when they saw Jiang Yue's body, Zhu Gaoyu issued an order to lift the guard.

As for the general of Ceylon, who nominally asked for guilt, but in fact it was a move to ask for merit, Zhu Gaoyu just said a few words casually and sent him away.

Zhu Gaoyu's next plan is to open up trade to the West.

Southeast Asia seems to be a region with many countries, but most of them are poor, and every transaction is bartered.

Ivory, gemstones, sunken wood and other items are indeed valuable, but this thing can't be eaten as a meal.

There are so many rich people in the Ming Dynasty, and these precious items are so fixed customers, and people can't buy them every day.

Although there are spice items, with the opening of the sea trade, the price of these items that used to be more expensive than gold will slowly begin to fall, and there will be no more windfall profits like the beginning.

Thinking about the future planning, Zhu Gaoyu plans to hand over this region of Southeast Asia to those maritime merchants.

And he led the official trading fleet, which developed to the west and carried out greater trade.

With the contact between the East and the West with the sea trade, those Westerners will definitely be curious about the existence of the East.

Seeing the huge benefits of the silk tea and other items brought by the Ming Dynasty, driven by the interests, he will definitely go to the Ming Dynasty to explore the trade.

This part of the country is bound to become an important port route between the East and the West in the future.

The annual tax collection is astronomical, and Zhu Gaoyu will naturally not hand over such an important place to others anymore.

This and Malacca will become heavily guarded areas of control in the future.

After the guard was lifted, Zhu Gaoyu ordered all Jiang Yue's relatives to be arrested and sent troops to guard various areas.

And it is required that the State of Ceylon cannot station a single force in important ports such as docks.

In order to pat Daming's sycophants and become the next king of Ceylon, no matter what Zhu Gaoyu asked, the general gritted his teeth and agreed.

After the Ming sent troops to garrison the entire important positions of Ceylon, Zhu Gaoyu summoned people from all walks of life in Ceylon headed by the general and announced the formal dismissal of the power of Ceylon and the Ming Dynasty taking over the management of the entire country.

The general, who was bent on becoming a king, naturally refused to accept it, but when his subordinates ran over and told him that the army had been disarmed by the Ming Dynasty and was all controlled, he collapsed to the ground in decadence on the spot.

The general knew the horror of Da Ming and did not dare to resist, so he chose to compromise and admit it.

However, some people, who don't know the power of it, directly instigated the people to make trouble after learning that their rights had been lifted, wanting to let the Ming know that without their control, Ceylon would definitely be in chaos.

However, they were naïve.

Messing up, Zhu Gaoyu was still worried that they wouldn't dare to mess up, and there was no reason to do it.

As some of the cities launched a rebellion, the troops that had been on standby for a long time rushed directly to a bloody suppression.

Zhu Gaoyu did not just choose violence.

It also strictly implemented the method of killing a group, pulling a group, and beating a group, and it took nearly a month to temporarily control the area that was once in Ceylon.

The general who rebelled was supported as the administrator of the southwest region, cooperating with the Ming troops left behind to manage the entire Ceylon region.

Due to the need to catch the monsoon, Zhu Gaoyu could not stay here for a long time, and when the summer monsoon came, he left Wu Shan, a capable general, and continued to set off to the northwest with the main fleet.

With no merchant ships to drag it down, the fleet finally got faster.

"Your Highness, we didn't bring so many supply ships, what if we didn't find a docking point and cut off the food and water supply?"

As the fleet set off, Wang Jin, who was a little worried, found Zhu Gaoyu.

In order to speed up, Zhu Gaoyu set off this time, except for not bringing merchant ships, he didn't even bring smaller supply ships.

This made Wang Jin, who had sailed on the water for most of his life, a little worried, but he knew the difficulty of cutting off supplies at sea.

He asked the question when he first set off.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoyu just replied, I can't be hungry for you, so I directly ordered the fleet to set off.

With the presence of Zhu Gaoyu, the people of the fleet will be hungry to have ghosts.

That is, in order to keep a low profile, otherwise the whole ship can kill them by eating vegetables and fruits every day.

"Give!"

Seeing that Wang Jin was coming again, Zhu Gaoyu shook his head helplessly, took out a fresh pear, and handed it to Wang Jin.

"Huh!"

Wang Jin was a little confused.

As the commander of the fleet, he knew best what supplies he had, and he could clearly affirm that most of the purchases at sea this time were soybeans, and pears seemed to be there at all.

"What's wrong? If you don't like to eat, then change to another one. ”

Seeing that this guy didn't answer, Zhu Gaoyu threw the pear to the maid next to him, took out a paw of bananas and handed it to Wang Jin.

Looking at the very full and very large banana in his hand, Wang Jin was completely blindfolded in place.

"Oh, by the way, this is for you too, take it and eat it."

Before he could come back to his senses, Zhu Gaoyu took out a watermelon bigger than his head from his sleeve and put it in Wang Jin's arms.

Looking at the big sleeve that he had just taken out of the watermelon, Wang Jin had an urge to stick his head in to see what else was inside.

He couldn't figure out where His Highness put these fruits, and the tricks weren't so outrageous.

"Is there anything else?"

In Wang Jin's confused expression, Zhu Gaoyu took out a handful of winter dates from that sleeve, and asked suspiciously while gnawing on it.

"I probably didn't wake up, I'm a little confused, I'll go back and sleep for a while!"

Wang Jin looked at Zhu Gaoyu in a daze for a long time, holding the watermelon and the banana in his arms, and turned around and left with a chatter in his mouth.

Zhu Gaoyu shook his head with a smile, stuffed the dates in his hand to the maid who was also curious next to him, picked up the fishing rod next to him, and continued to catch fish.
