Manlaga is located at the equator. The weather is hot all year round. Xu Jin is prone to sweating, so he is more afraid of heat. At this moment, he really wants to peel off his official robe and change into a cool short shirt and shorts. However, it really makes it a shame for Daming to be decent, so he can only grit his teeth and endure it.

Wen Zhengming was even more afraid of heat than Xu Jin. The jade-colored scholar's shirt was wet with sweat and was tightly attached to his back. Tang Bohu had always been unruly and unrestrained. He had already taken off his long gown outside. While shaking the folding fan, he looked at the Malacca royal city built by the sea in front of him with enthusiasm.

By the way, why did Tang Bohu, an old ticket buyer, follow Xu Jin to Malacca? It turned out that Wen Zhengming is now an aide to Xu Jin and is highly valued. He is responsible for the work of documents. He even wrote some memorials for the court. He was drafted and polished by him. As an old friend, Tang Bohu was naturally extremely envious.

Not long ago, Tang Bohu went to Guangzhou Prefecture to find Wen Zhengming to gather old friends, and he wandered in front of Xu Jin like a peacock with open-faced peacock. He even mentioned the things that "Shark King" Xu Weixue were originally mentioned, and there was no complaint between his words. It means that when he first discovered that Huijing, the host of Daming Temple, was the "Shark King" Xu Weixue, and he also had the contribution of him. Xu Jin should not favor one or the other, but only valued Wen Zhengming instead of Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu, an old ticket buyer, was wandering around in front of him. Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry. He was entangled so much that Governor Xu had to take the guy to Nanyang. However, what Xu Jin could not expect was that on the way to Nanyang, Tang Bohu's slutty guy actually shone and heated, and he was as chaotic as a fish in water.

It turned out that there were many island countries in Nanyang along the way. In order to pay tribute to the senior eunuch Zheng He and promote the power of the Ming Dynasty, Governor Xu visited these countries, and there was a display of the literary and artistic culture of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Tang Bohu's poetry and painting works were sought after. Coupled with this guy's unrestrained personality and unscrupulous "great sentiment", he would visit brothels and brothels everywhere and "in-depth exchanges and discussions" with the famous prostitutes there. As a result, the famous Tang Dynasty's talented man became more and more famous, and he became a big star, and his popularity among the people even surpassed that of Xu Jin, the governor.

Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry about this, so he simply appointed this guy as the Nanyang Xuanfu Envoy, who was responsible for diplomacy, dealing with the Nanyang island countries, and making him all his might into a "business card" of the Ming Dynasty. So, even if a person who is useless is no longer useful, as long as he finds the right direction, he can still make a fortune!

Back to the topic, at this time, the fleet began to slowly sail into the harbor outside the Malacca Royal City, crossed the bridge and arrived directly to the Inner Harbor Pier.

On the dock, a group of generals had been waiting for a long time, including Yu Dayou, Xie Erjian, Cen Lan, Wang Zhi, Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai, Wang Duo, and their backbone. In addition, the new Manla King Bintang also brought his ministers to wait on the dock. I don’t know whether it was for personal preference or other reasons, but all the ministers of this guy were fat, one with big heads and big ears, and they were full of blessings, which made people laugh.

Xu Jin climbed onto the dock surrounded by Jinyiwei and the five hundred battalions of personal soldiers. All the generals straightened their backs and said in unison: "See the Grand Marshal."

Xu Jin checked the beloved generals under his command with a spring breeze on his face, and gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation: "Good examples, you are all good men of my Ming Dynasty. I am proud and proud of you, and I will win!"

"The Ming Dynasty is a thousand victories, my emperor is a thousand victories, and the general is a thousand victories!" The generals shouted in unison, and their faces were red with excitement.

The Prince of Bintang was very tactful. After Xu Jin met with the generals, he came forward and saluted and said, "I have met Governor Xu."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Congratulations to the prince (the title of the king of the vassal state of the South China Sea) for restoring the country and revitalizing the ancestral temple, which is gratifying."

The prince of Bintang said with a look of spring breeze: "Bintang will never forget the great kindness and virtues thanks to the Governor."

Xu Jin said with a complete expression: "The prince is wrong. Manlaga is originally a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty. The Folangji people invaded, offended my Ming Dynasty and damaged my emperor's beauty. I was ordered by my emperor to send troops to wipe out the generals. The prince should remember the kindness of my Ming Dynasty and the kindness of my emperor."

After saying that, Xu Jin clasped his fists at the north, showing his respect for the Emperor Ming, and then stared at Bintang with bright eyes. The latter twitched his eyes, knelt down and bowed to the north, saying, "My name Bintang, I will thank my emperor for his kindness, long live long!"

Seeing this, the ministers behind Prince Bintang also knelt down and thanked the Emperor of Ming. The Ming soldiers and generals around him stood up even more straight, and a sense of pride arose.

Wen Zhengming stroked his beard and nodded secretly. Xu Jin made such a great contribution at such a young age. He was also worried that Xu Jin would be proud. After all, there were too many heroes in history who were arrogant because of his merits. In the end, none of them had a good end. Now that he saw Xu Jin, he was not confused and did something beyond the rules, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

After bowing to the Emperor Ming, Prince Bintang stood up and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu came from afar, must have been exhausted. I have prepared a residence for you. Please follow me into the city to settle down and wash, and then hold a welcoming banquet for you and the soldiers at night."

From the moment when Prince Bintang decisively kneeled down, Xu Jin looked at the fat man with admiration and secretly warned that this fat man was quite tolerant. If he was allowed to sit firmly on the throne of Manlaga, it might not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, nor would it be a good thing for his next deployment.

"I'm sorry, prince!" Xu Jin followed Prince Bintang into the Malacca Royal City without hesitation.

There are many architectural styles in the Malacca Royal City, including European castles, circular buildings in Arab countries, and of course, courtyards with the Ming Dynasty pattern. Originally, Prince Bintang prepared a set of Chinese courtyards for Xu Jin, but Wang Cuiqiao seemed to be more interested in European castles, so Xu Jin happily moved to the castle to live in. This pampering made everyone immerse themselves in the ocean of happiness.

After living in the Royal City of Malacca, Xu Jin did three things. The first thing was to reward the three armies. Seeing Xu Jin rewarding the army with his wealth that originally belonged to him, the prince of Bintang twitched in pain, but he didn't say anything. He smiled at Xu Jin every day, and did his best to flatter him. But the more he could tolerate this guy, the more vigilant Xu Jin became.

The second thing Xu Jin did was to follow the example of the Han and Tang dynasties in the Western Regions and set up the Nanyang Protectorate. Of course, this kind of thing was not directly decided by Xu Jin, and it had to be approved by the court. He just made a temporary plan, and Yu Dayou served as the Nanyang Protectorate, and he had been stationed in Malacca for many years and managed the Nanyang countries.

Xu Jin mobilized many troops and spent a lot of effort to expedition to the South China Ocean. The purpose was not to help Manlaga restore the country, but to control the Strait of Malacca in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. As a modern man, he knew the importance of the Strait of Malacca and the importance of controlling sea power. The future is the world of the ocean, and the forbidden sea was the biggest mistake of the Ming Dynasty in national policy. It is precisely because of the forbidden sea that the Ming Dynasty missed the era of great navigation, borrowed the primitive accumulation of capital, and was overtaken by the West in all aspects, thus planting the root of disaster that was ravaged by Western powers hundreds of years later. Xu Jin had to do now to cut off this root of disaster, control Malacca, and controlling the South China Sea was his first step.

After arranging the garrison, Xu Jin began to do the third thing, which was to open academies. It was obviously impossible to conquer a nation by force alone. It was also necessary to combine economic and cultural means. Education was the first step. Only by allowing this nation to identify and belong to the Ming Dynasty in terms of cultural spirit can the local government be in a long-term stability. Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty's national strength declined and its control over these areas decreased, those who were ill-hearted would immediately jump out of trouble and rebellion. This was the case with the countries in the Western Regions during the Han and Tang dynasties. When the Han and Tang dynasties were strong, they depended on it. Once the Han and Tang dynasties' national strength declined, the countries in the Western Regions immediately turned against each other.

Therefore, education is very important, and it is necessary to establish the Ming Academy. Therefore, under the leadership of Xu Jin, the first Ming Academy in the Royal City of Malacca was established, and Wen Zhengming became the first academy chief. As for Tang Bohu, that guy, was not a teacher, and he was probably going to mislead his children by becoming a mountain captain.

Xu Jin set up a garrison in the Royal City of Malacca and opened academy to teach Confucianism. These two measures exposed his "ambition" and seriously infringed on the interests of the Prince of Bintang. However, this fat man continued to endure it and still greeted Xu Jin with a smile every day, respectfully.

As a result, Xu Jin felt more and more that this fat man was not suitable to be king anymore. Before leaving Manlaga, Xu Jin decided to deal with him. He finally controlled Malacca, and with the Portuguese's revenge, Xu Jin naturally would not leave such a big hidden danger to Yu Dayou.
