Because they have been attacked by pirates from Europa and the Middle East in the past.

Despite the start of these pirates, they were able to defeat them.

But when they fled into the forest, there was nothing they could do with the well-armed pirates.

In the end, they could only set a fire, swept their national capital, and then left unwillingly.

And Zhu Yuanzhang originally heard that Java was only the size of a province in Daming, so he wanted to deal with the fake unicorn first.

The next time I open up overseas, I'll clean him up.

But when he heard the messenger's boasting, he immediately became interested.

Then he asked the other party: "You say, you Java, you don't have to worry about eating?" ”

"Of course."

The Javanese messenger nodded triumphantly.

But then he was like Zhu Yuanzhang softened: "Your Majesty the Great Ming Emperor, we didn't mean to use giraffes to deceive you." ”

"If you can let me go, I promise our king will give you a lot of gold and silver."

"But if you insist on killing me, when your fleet arrives in Java, all the nearby countries will regard you as enemies."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to this painless threat, and immediately laughed disdainfully.

Then he clenched his fists and said to Zhu Rong, who was glaring angrily at the Javanese envoy: "Have you remembered what this fool said?" ’

"When I go to class today, I asked Mr. Lin if the land of Java is really so fertile."

If what the envoy said was true, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take the country of Java as the first place of conquest for the Ming Dynasty to open up overseas.

Zhu Fan knew very well what his father meant, and immediately nodded in response: "Erchen has written it down." ”

Then, Zhu Yuan looked at the envoy with a worried look on his face.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Let's give you one last chance to take the initiative to expose your scam, and we can spare your dog's life." ”

"If you are still obsessed, we will send you to the western sky with the so-called unicorn in your mouth."

Thanks to the teachings of the officials accompanying the ship, the Javanese envoys had no problem understanding the meaning of the heavens.

He sensed that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be really running out of patience.

So he didn't dare to say more nonsense, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I am willing to expose the deception, please don't kill me." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer, just glanced at Mao Xiang, who had just squeezed to his side.

The clear-hearted Governor of the Governor's Mansion immediately gave an order to his subordinates, and then personally grabbed the Javanese envoy by the collar and carried him to the edge of the welcoming platform. At this time, it was conclusive, saying that the ministers had beaten the envoys of Java, and the unicorn had changed from real to fake.

It's a pity that before he finished his words of reversing black and white, he was punched in the face by the young man next to him.

Just as the young man was about to make up for the punch, the captains who were passing the word suddenly shouted loudly.

In the face of the fierce captain, the envoy of Java suddenly became honest and honestly admitted that the so-called unicorn was nothing more than a deception made by their Javanese courtiers.

That's it. A vigorous welcome ceremony to welcome the Rui Beast ended hastily.

Just when the Han general, who maintained order, received an order from his ancestors to open the way back to the palace.

A clipper with tattered sails and a large hole in the side of the ship.

actually swayed forward from the forest of treasure ships, and sank directly to the tidal flat near Yingtian Wharf.

This not only attracted the sailors of the treasure ship who were carrying the goods, but also gave birth to a sense of vigilance.

Even many courtiers who saw this scene thought that a thief was coming, and they shouted for escort.

"Let's go and see, what's going on with that first ship?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not yet come down from the reception platform, saw the clipper boat with the Ming military flag at a glance.

As his words fell, Mao Xiang immediately found a few horses.

With a few Han generals in armor, they rushed to the ship stranded on the beach.

Because they were not far apart, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mao Xiang and his entourage, and soon came to the vicinity of the clipper.

I don't know what the sailors on the ship said to him, but Mao Xiang turned his horse's head with a happy face and galloped towards the position of the greeting platform.

On the way, there were people who could not dodge, but they were whipped to the ground by one of them.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning.

However, Mao Xiang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had just done.

He even waved a whip at the Han general, who maintained order.

With such a domineering behavior, even the crown prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but show disgust for him for a while.

And Mao Xiang didn't realize this.

After he rode back to the greeting platform, he just jumped off the horse and shouted to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, great joy! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who wanted to reprimand Mao Xiang, heard this a little inexplicable, and subconsciously asked: "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Mao Xiang knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the stranded ship is carrying the gold that General Hu Yunqiang seized from Zuodu Island in the Wa Kingdom. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the three words of Zuodu Island, he couldn't care about teaching Mao Xiang a lesson anymore.

He walked straight down to the greeting platform and shouted, "Lead us a horse." ”

The guards next to him didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly brought Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial horse.

Then a large number of heavily armed lieutenants followed him and galloped towards the tidal flats.

Immediately afterwards, the crown prince Zhu Biao also followed excitedly.

It's just that he didn't find a suitable horse for a while, so he could only call for a foot rider and carry him towards the tidal flats.

Zhu Fan was not as excited as his father and eldest brother.

He first glanced at Mao Xiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Captain Mao, you were so powerful just now!" ”

Then no matter what Mao Xiang's reaction was, he also stepped off the welcome stage.

He found a fast horse and whipped his whip and ran towards the tidal flats.

Only the stunned face was left, and he didn't know what was going on at all.

He glanced left and right a little dazedly, and saw that the ministers had followed.

He could only ask the pale-faced Mao Xiang, "Captain Mao, why are they so out of shape, Your Majesty?" ”

"My Ming fleet, how did you go to the Wa Kingdom to grab gold, can't we start a war with the Wa Kingdom?"

However, without waiting to get carried away, Mao Xiang, who was very happy and sad, replied.

Liu Sanwu, who had been maintaining order among the courtiers just now, because His Majesty suddenly rushed to the stranded clipper, he ran to the greeting platform to come to the Tang Dynasty, but he happened to hear Tang He's words.

Liu Sanwu suddenly smiled and said: "Haha, Xinguo Gong, you are really my lucky star of the Ming Dynasty, you just came back today, and the gold of the Japanese Kingdom has arrived, and I will wait together to witness the arrival of a new round of prosperity in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Tang He, who was already very confused, was even more full of question marks after hearing Liu Sanwu's words.

But before he could ask any more questions, he was pulled on the horse by Liu Sanwu.
