Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"This is what you deserve!

You and I are ministers, and it is the duty of a minister to serve the king and father! "

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

In the Governor's Mansion, Zheng Zhilong and Liu Fangliang laughed loudly.

Of these two people, one was a pirate and the other was a rogue.

The kind of intrigues between literati and two people from rough backgrounds would not bother to play.

If you have that kind of energy, you might as well lead your troops to take back the country!

As long as you have meritorious service, you can be granted the title of marquis and general, how wonderful!

What's more, Zheng Zhilong knew that Liu Fangliang had a big killer weapon in his hands!

That - a dozen steam engines given by the emperor.

The emperor also rewarded Zheng Zhilong with one such steam engine ship.

Zheng Zhilong usually regards it as a magic weapon to win.

After more than half a year of familiarity, he had already understood the characteristics of steam engine ships.

In fact, in view of the advantages of steam engine ships being fast and not relying much on wind direction, a set of tactics of mixed steam engine ships and sail battleships for coordinated operations was developed.

Zheng Zhilong knew that this thing was extremely fast whether it was against the wind or tailwind.

In this vast sea, this kind of thing is simply a sneak attack artifact!

Especially in a place like Nanyang, which is full of islands, this thing is a big killer!

With the help of Liu Fangliang's Clippers, it would be easier for him to annihilate all the red-haired people.

And Liu Fangliang also knew that Zheng Zhilong had shipbuilding craftsmen that even the Ming Emperor lacked.

In terms of single-ship firepower and water combat capabilities, Zheng Zhilong is much better than him.

He was born and raised on the sea. Regarding naval battles, Zheng Zhilong is the top commander of this era.

What's more, there is still a basis for cooperation between the two.

The world is big enough and you have enough credit, so you don’t have to worry about not getting enough points.

Two heroes who came from rough backgrounds but finally stood at the top of the world, naturally have a very high vision.

They understand that cooperation will benefit both parties.

The two of them just discussed the matter over a couple of cups of tea before deciding on the general policy.

The action is scheduled for tomorrow!

Early tomorrow morning, we will set off immediately, divide our troops into two groups, and attack the big island of Brunei!

As for the specific action plan, the two men directly handed it over to their generals.

Zheng Zhilong called several of his brothers and immediately set up a banquet in the Governor's Mansion to entertain Liu Fangliang.

Just when the subordinates of both sides were arguing with each other in order to formulate a battle plan, the two bosses were drinking and calling themselves brothers...

……

Handu.

Under the bright light, Zhu Youjian slowly closed the secret report in his hand.

Wang Chengen squatted by the brazier, stirring the hot coals from time to time.

"Partner!"

Zhu Youjian threw the secret report on the table.

"Master, the old slave is here."

Wang Chengen stood up and walked to the emperor.

Zhu Youjian moved his shoulders a few times and said calmly:

"File it.

Do you think Liu Fangliang has ever been to Luzon? "

Wang Chengen picked up the secret report and handed it to his adopted son Wang Lian, asking him to file it.

He replied:

"Master, according to time calculation, General Liu should have arrived in Luzon either yesterday afternoon or this morning."

"Let's meet!"

Zhu Youjian laughed.

Wang Chengen walked behind the emperor and stretched out his hands to help the emperor's sore shoulders:

"Based on the distance and speed, it should be like this."

Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes and tapped his slender fingers lightly on the armrest.

After a long time, he opened his eyes again:

"Send a message to Zuo Liangyu.

Tell him that I want him to dispatch [-] elite troops to Manlajia.

Tell Zuo Liangyu, I have only one sentence - Manlajia has been lost for too long! "

Malacca is located at the southernmost tip of the Asian continent, now translated as the southwest tip of the Malay Peninsula, and is adjacent to the Strait of Malacca.

It is now the capital of Malacca state in Malaysia.

Chinese history books call it Malaga, Malacca, Malaga, etc.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Mancajia.

Mansajia was originally a small country affiliated with Siam. It had to pay 40 taels of gold to Siam every year, otherwise it would be invaded.

In the winter of the first year of Yongle (1403), Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty sent Yin Qing, a lieutenant, to his country to present gifts to his chief, Bailimisu Ci, and to "declare his virtues and the intention of attracting people."

Baili Misu La was overjoyed and immediately sent an envoy to follow Yin Qing into the court. And tribute things.

In September of the third year of Yongle (1405), the envoy arrived in the capital.

Historical records:

"The envoy from his country said that his king, Mu Yi, is willing to join the Chinese vassal county and pay tribute every year. Please seal the mountain as a town for the country.

Emperor Yongle then decreed that his chief would be crowned King of Mancijia, and the western mountain of his country would be the mountain that governs the country.

Gong Zhen, who accompanied Zheng He on his voyages to the West, compiled the book "Historical Records of Western Countries: Mancijia Guo".

This book not only records Zheng He's feats of voyages to the West in detail!

It also clearly records how the Ming Dynasty officials managed the local area and built city walls there!

It also clearly records the local customs, the attitudes of various countries towards the Ming Dynasty.

Even in this book, it is mentioned about taking advantage of the monsoon and entering the harbor to avoid typhoons.

It is recorded in the book:

“China sailed Western ships and used this as its foreign capital.

A pendulum fence was erected and four gates were set up to watch the drum tower.

A heavy city was erected inside, and the buildings and treasury were complete. "

This section records the Ming army's construction of a city there.

This is the legal basis for China’s rule over Nanyang since ancient times!

“The large treasure ship has gone to Champa, Java and other countries, and has returned ships to Siam and other countries beforehand. They all parked on the coast of this country, and all the money and grain were stored in the warehouse.

After all the boats were gathered together, and after various transactions, Hurumos and other countries were divided. "

This section records the grand occasion of the Ming Dynasty's Western trade.

It was this record that was completely shattered - the slander that Zheng He's voyages to the West was "taking the wealth of the people to win the favor of all nations"!

"When I returned home after my work, those who had left for their small country would all arrive sooner or later, within five or seven days.

Manage the circulation of all kinds of money and grain from various countries, package and store them, and wait. "

Did you see it? It was written clearly. The caravans gathered together, loaded the trade profits on ships, and waited for the opportunity.

Ready to return to China.

"In the middle of May, the weather has turned favorable, and the clan has returned."

This shows that Zheng He's fleet has completely understood the hydrology, ocean currents, trade winds, and climate characteristics of the Southern Ocean.

In fact, when it comes to ocean sailing, boats are the least valuable!

For ocean navigation, invisible and intangible hydrological conditions, ocean current changes, ocean depth, monsoon time, climate characteristics (judging typhoons, etc.)...

These things are the most precious wealth!

And this is exactly what Liu Daxia is hiding!

And how prosperous was ocean navigation during the Ming Dynasty?

The records in the history books cannot let you know one of them.

It has been more than six hundred years since Emperor Yongle made his voyages to the West!

More than 600 years have passed!

however--

To this day, in the area of ​​Malacca, the hometown of Mancajia, there are still historical sites such as Sambao Mountain, Sambao City, Sambao Well, and Sambao Temple!

Moreover, it is well-known in the local area!
