This shouting stunned everyone, and the tense atmosphere suddenly became complicated. After a quick exchange of views between General Ming and Chief Zufar, they decided to send a small team to negotiate to find out the truth.
The negotiation team cautiously approached the "pirates". After some tense conversations and identity verification, they were surprised to find that these so-called "pirates" were indeed a group of explorers who were blown off course by the storm. They did not intend to infringe.
Just urgently need help guiding the way back to land.
This dramatic turn made everyone breathe a sigh of relief and the tense atmosphere dissipated.
Zhu Han stood on the deck and watched the negotiation team slowly return with the group of "explorers". He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Mr. Wang next to him and said: "It seems that this time the storm has finally subsided.
However, this also reminds us that in unknown waters, anything can happen, and we must always remain vigilant."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Life at sea is full of unknowns and variables, and we must be ready to deal with various challenges at any time."
At this time, the negotiation team had brought the explorers to Zhu Han. The leading explorer was a middle-aged man with a haggard face but firm eyes. He took a step forward, bowed deeply to Zhu Han, and spoke with a slight accent
said in Chinese
Said: "Dear envoy of the Ming Dynasty, our group was originally an explorer from a distant place. Unexpectedly, we encountered a storm. The ship was seriously damaged, lost its course, and strayed into this sea area. Fortunately, your envoy rescued us. We are very grateful.
."
Zhu Han returned the greeting and said: "You don't have to be polite. Drawing a sword to help when there is injustice on the road is the moral obligation that our people of the Ming Dynasty should have. However, since you are explorers, I don't know what the purpose of this trip is? Why did you come to this remote sea area?"
The explorer sighed and explained: "Our group comes from a distant country and is full of curiosity and yearning for the unknown world. This trip was originally planned to explore the unknown islands in this sea area and look for legendary treasures and miracles. Unexpectedly
The weather was unpredictable, a storm hit, and our ship was seriously damaged. Fortunately, your envoy rescued us, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Hearing this, Zhu Han's eyes flashed with interest: "Legendary treasures and miracles? This is an attractive topic. However, sea exploration is full of dangers and unknowns, so you still need to proceed with caution."
The explorer nodded and expressed gratitude: "Thank you, envoy, for reminding us. We will be more careful. However, our current ship is seriously damaged and is in urgent need of repair. I wonder if the envoy can provide some help?"
Zhu Han thought for a moment, then turned to Mr. Wang and said, "Mr. Wang, do you think we can provide these explorers with some necessary supplies and help so that they can repair their ships as soon as possible and continue their adventure?"
Mr. Wang thought for a while and then replied: "Your Majesty is kind, and I should try my best to help. However, we also need to ensure that we have sufficient supplies to avoid affecting the subsequent sailing plan."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "That's natural. Mr. Wang, please arrange manpower to provide them with some necessary supplies and tools to help them repair their ships as soon as possible. At the same time, please also ask the explorers to abide by our rules during this period.
You are not allowed to leave the designated area without permission."
Upon hearing this, the explorers expressed their gratitude one after another and promised to abide by the rules of the Ming fleet, repair the ships and leave as soon as possible.
At the same time, Zhu Han also used this time to continue in-depth exchanges and cooperation with the Zufar people. The two parties not only carried out extensive cooperation in the fields of farming, medicine, handicrafts, etc., but also jointly explored new trade routes and

One evening, when the setting sun dyed the sky into a golden color, Zhu Han stood on the deck, looking at the sun gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance, and his heart was filled with emotion. He turned around and said to Mr. Wang beside him: "Mr. Wang
, we gained a lot from this trip, not only established a deep friendship with the Zufar people, but also got to know this group of brave explorers. This is truly an unforgettable voyage."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes: "What the prince said is absolutely true. This trip not only deepened the friendship with the Zufar people, but also gave us a deeper understanding of the unknown sea areas. The arrival of the explorers
, and also added a bit of legend to our voyage.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly, looking at the unknown sea ahead, his tone full of expectation: "Next, our voyage is still long, and unknown challenges and opportunities coexist. Mr. Wang, how do you think we should plan our route next?
, to ensure the safety and efficiency of navigation?”
Mr. Wang thought for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should strengthen exchanges and cooperation with other countries while continuing to explore the unknown waters. We can send envoys to known or potential trading partner countries.
, establish friendly relations and lay the foundation for future trade exchanges. In addition, we should also strengthen nautical charting and meteorological observations to ensure safe navigation in complex sea conditions."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. We must not only explore the unknown, but also consolidate the known results. Mr. Wang, you immediately start arranging the envoys' mission, and at the same time strengthen nautical charting and meteorological research. As for navigation safety,
General Li, you need to continue to strengthen patrols and vigilance to ensure that any potential threats can be detected and responded to in time."
General Li bowed his hands in salute and said in a firm voice: "General, after receiving the order, we will do our best to ensure the safety of the voyage."
Zhu Han smiled slightly, his eyes revealing his trust in General Li: "I feel reassured to have a strong general like you by my side. However, we cannot ignore friendly exchanges with countries along the way. Mr. Wang, you need to select envoys
, carrying my Ming Dynasty’s gifts and sincerity, I will visit various countries and seek opportunities for cooperation.”
Mr. Wang bowed and obeyed the order: "I obey the order and will make careful preparations to live up to the prince's trust."

Holding a telescope, he carefully observed the sea area ahead.
"Your Majesty, the sea area ahead seems to be extremely complicated. Do we need to adjust our route to avoid this dangerous area?" General Li walked to Zhu Han and asked solemnly.
Zhu Han pondered for a moment, his eyes firm: "No, we cannot shrink back because of danger. Although this sea area is complex, it may also hide unknown resources and opportunities. After passing the order, the entire crew entered an emergency state, stepped up vigilance, and prepared to deal with possible
Challenges arise.”
General Li took the order and quickly conveyed Zhu Han's order. The crew quickly took action, inspecting equipment, reinforcing cables, and preparing emergency supplies. The entire fleet was filled with a tense and orderly atmosphere.
As the fleet gradually penetrated into this unknown sea, the wind and waves on the sea became more and more violent. The huge waves continued to hit the hull, making deafening sounds. However, the crew of the Daming fleet relied on their superb skills and firm will to successfully resist
Withstood the attack of wind and waves.
At this moment, a young navigator hurriedly ran over with a nervous expression: "Your Majesty, we found an unknown island ahead! There seems to be fire and human voices on the island!"
When Zhu Han heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Oh? An unknown island? Quick, order someone to get closer to investigate the situation. Be careful."
The navigator took the order and left, and soon news came: "Your Majesty, there is a group of indigenous people living on the island. They seemed surprised by our arrival, but they did not show any hostility."
Zhu Han nodded to express his understanding, and then said to Mr. Wang and General Li: "It seems that we have met another group of friendly residents. Mr. Wang, please immediately arrange for envoys to go to the island to express our friendship and understand the people on the island."
Situation. General Li, you will be responsible for vigilance and defense work to ensure our safety."
Mr. Wang and General Li took the order and left, each getting busy. Zhu Han stood on the deck, staring at the unknown island, his heart full of curiosity and expectation for the unknown world.
Soon, the envoy returned to the ship and brought news from the island: "Your Majesty, the aboriginal people on the island call themselves the 'Coconut Island Tribe'. They have lived on this island for generations and make a living on coconuts and fishing. They are very important to us.
We are welcome to come and are willing to conduct trade with us."
Zhu Han was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is really an unexpected gain! The Yedao people are willing to trade with us, which will add more resources and support to our voyage. Mr. Wang, please arrange the trade matters immediately and discuss specific cooperation with the Yedao people.
detail."
Mr. Wang accepted the order and immediately began to arrange the details of the trade with the Yedao tribe.
"Your Majesty, I have sent staff who are proficient in trade to the Yedao people to conduct preliminary negotiations on the goods that both parties are interested in." Mr. Wang reported to Zhu Hanhui, "We plan to exchange silk, tea, porcelain and other Ming specialties from the Yedao people.
Coconuts, pearls and some unique seafood.”
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "These products are appropriately selected, not only meeting the needs of both parties, but also reflecting the characteristics of Ming Dynasty. However, we need to pay attention to fairness and integrity in the transaction process to ensure that the interests of both parties are protected."
General Li added on the side: "The general has strengthened the vigilance of ships to ensure safety during the trade. At the same time, a small team has also been dispatched to patrol the waters around the island to prevent unexpected events."
Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction, looking towards the distant sea again, filled with expectations for the future: "Very good, we must not only ensure the smooth progress of trade, but also take this opportunity to deeply understand the culture and life of the Yedao people.
To promote understanding and friendship between the two races.”
As the trade negotiations deepened, the exchanges between the Ming Dynasty fleet and the Yedao tribe became increasingly frequent. One day, Zhu Han decided to go to Yedao in person to have a face-to-face meeting with the leader of the Yedao tribe.
On the Coconut Island, the sun shines through the dense coconut groves and onto the soft beach. The gentle sea breeze brings bursts of coconut fragrance. Accompanied by Mr. Wang and General Li, Zhu Han walked into the village of the Coconut Island people.
.
The leader of the Yedao people, an old and majestic old man, had already been waiting at the entrance of the village. He was dressed in simple clothes woven with coconut leaves, holding an exquisite wooden carving cane, and extended a warm welcome to Zhu Han and his party with a smile on his face.
.
"Dear envoy of the Ming Dynasty, welcome to Yedao." The leader's voice was rich and warm. "I am the elder of the Yedao tribe. On behalf of the entire tribe, I would like to express my deepest respect to you."
Zhu Han smiled back and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, elder, for your warm reception. I am Zhu Han, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. The purpose of this trip is to establish friendly diplomatic and trade relations with the nobles and seek common development."
The two parties walked into a bamboo house in the center of the village. The interior was simple and warm. Pictures of hunting and fishing by the Yedao people hung on the walls, showing their life of harmonious coexistence with nature.
"We, the Yedao people, live by fishing and coconut planting, and pearls are also one of our specialties." The elder introduced, "We are very willing to use these precious products to exchange silk, tea and other commodities with the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, we also hope to
Learn more farming and handicraft techniques from the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "Technical exchanges are two-way. The Ming Dynasty is also willing to send craftsmen and scholars to Yedao to impart knowledge of farming and handicrafts, and at the same time learn the unique survival wisdom of the Yedao people."
The atmosphere of the talks was harmonious and warm, and the two sides reached consensus on trade terms, technical exchanges and other aspects.
Under the warm hospitality of the Yedao villagers, Zhu Han and his party tasted various delicacies cooked with coconuts. As night fell, a bonfire was lit on the Yedao Island, and the villagers sang and danced around the flames to celebrate their encounter with the Ming envoy.
and cooperation.
"Such a beautiful night." Zhu Han looked at the laughing villagers and his heart was full of emotion. "May the friendship between our two tribes be like this bonfire, burning forever."
Mr. Wang nodded and smiled at the side: "Yes, Your Majesty. Such exchanges not only enhance our friendship, but also make us more convinced that peace and cooperation are the cornerstones of common development among nations."
As night fell, the bonfires on Yedao Island gradually extinguished, and the exchange dinner between the Daming fleet and Yedao people came to an end. Zhu Han stood on the beach, looking at the tranquil sea in the distance, and his heart was filled with excitement about this voyage.
Feelings and gains.
Mr. Wang stepped forward and reported softly: "Your Majesty, our supply ship is full, all scheduled trading supplies have been loaded, and it can sail back to Daming at any time."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with expectations for the future: "Okay, we have completed the established trade and cultural exchange tasks here, and it is time to return to the country. However, before leaving, I want to see Ye Ye again.
The elders of the island tribe, express our gratitude and confirm the follow-up cooperation matters."
Mr. Wang resigned and soon led the elders of the Yedao tribe to Zhu Han. The elders were still dressed in simple coconut leaf clothes with a kind smile on their faces.
"Dear Ming Dynasty envoy, thank you for your generosity and friendship." The elder said in fluent Chinese. "Our Yedao tribe has benefited a lot from communicating with you. We look forward to more cooperation opportunities in the future."
