There was no rush to tell the details here on this day. Zhu Di then asked: "Across the way from Manlajia, is the prince who escaped from Srivijaya willing to surrender to my Ming Dynasty?" The imperial edict had been issued long before they came to Nanyang.
He went out, so Zhu Di asked.
"I have already surrendered. He came to me personally last month and said that he would surrender when King Pu was conferred by the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Mo said.
"He is quite sensible." Zhu Di said: "Your Majesty has prepared two imperial edicts for us to bring over. One is that if he is willing to surrender, then he will be made a marquis and sent back to the capital to live; if he is unwilling to surrender, he will not be allowed to surrender.
His head was sacrificed to the flag."
Zhu Mo didn't agree with Zhu Di's murderous nature. In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was crowned king in Nanyang. Although all the foreign countries in Nanyang were tied together and they were no match for the Ming Dynasty, he still felt that it was better to be gentle and supplementary with troops.
.But now that Prince Srivijaya has surrendered, the second scenario mentioned by Zhu Di is no longer possible, so he has another question to ask.
"Fourth brother, why don't you keep him here temporarily to stabilize the situation?"
"No need, he just fled to Manlajia after Hongwu thirty years, and he doesn't have many people under his command. After discussing with Yunxi, I felt there was no need to use him," Zhu Di said.
Since both of them thought so, Zhu Mo stopped talking. But he remembered something again and asked, "Why did Yunxi send two more naval guards? Are we going to fight another war in Nanyang?"
Hearing him talk about this matter, Zhu Di said: "It was Yunxi who heard that the Bolin State wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and then learned that the Bolin State was now ruled by Han people, and was also a very powerful gangster who was rampaging in the South China Sea. What did he have to fear?
I had bad intentions, so I sent two more guards over."
"I see. Chen Zuyi's navy is indeed strong enough to deal with the two guards of the Ming Dynasty, but since he is willing to pay tribute, it means that he does not have any evil intentions. Yunxi is too careful." Zhu Mo said.
"He probably doesn't know how much of a shock it will be to Nanyang when two more navy guards are sent over. At this time, countless small countries in Nanyang have sent envoys to Old Port to carefully inquire about the news; the local big business also asked me what His Majesty meant."
"Then what did you tell them?" Zhu Di asked.
"What else can I say? Tell them that the Ming Dynasty intends to explore the West. But I don't think they believe it. But it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not." Zhu Mo said.
Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Do you think Chen Zuyi is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Fourth brother, what you mean is whether Chen Zuyi is willing to join the Su Fan Kingdom." Zhu Mo said with a smile: "I can't say that. But he has always been a gangster before, so he may not be willing to be restrained."
"Then what if I don't restrain him for the time being? Let his territory remain unchanged, his soldiers remain unchanged, and his civil and military officials will be appointed by himself. He will only obey the Su Fan Kingdom in name and follow us to send troops in war. Will he be willing to surrender?
Come here? Not for the king of Fan?" Zhu Di said.
"Fourth brother," Zhu Mo said with some surprise, "Are you willing to delegate power?" In his impression, Zhu Di was not such a person.
"Your Majesty is willing to delegate power, why can't I?" Zhu Di said this. Seeing that they didn't believe it, he smiled and said: "Of course, we can't let him do this forever, but the first thing now is to occupy the whole island. Let him be free for a while.
No problem."
"Of course," Zhu Di turned around and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "Gaoxu, you are King Su. You have to make the final decision on everything. Dad is just a suggestion."
"My father's words are very good. We should pacify the whole island first and then deal with these people who follow the instructions but not the propaganda. My son has no objection." Zhu Gaoxu said. But only he knows whether he thinks so in his heart.
The few people discussed for a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, they dispersed to rest.
Starting from the second day, Zhu Di and Gao Xu met with countless local people, including wealthy families, eminent monks in temples, and Han leaders who had lived in the area for a long time.
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu told these people half-truths and half- lies, and made countless promises to reassure these people.
Although Zhu Di had always been decisive in killing, he hid all his sharp sides at this time and showed his piety to Buddhism, which successfully reassured the locals.
Seeing that Zhu Mo had stabilized, he took his left and right ministers to his own fiefdom in South Borneo.
A few days later, Zhu Di and Zhu Xianyang took a navy to Managa to take over the political power of the escaped prince Srivijaya. Zhu Gaoxu looked at his father's back and said: "Father, please stay in Manaka for a few more days."
, don’t we still need to build the Puluozhong city? Build it slowly and come back when the city is repaired.”
===
Northwest, Hami City.
Zhu Shangbing rode his horse and slowly rode into the city.
The black man beside him smiled and said: "How about Shang Bing? We are not lying, right? You have been in charge of Hami City for more than three months; and you have not yet used a sword or a shot to make your army unbreakable."
Losing one person. If you take Hami by force without our help, you will definitely lose a lot of troops even if you capture it."
Zhu Shangbing looked at the people in the city who had unknown expressions on their faces, and thought to himself: 'Without your help, although a lot of troops would have been lost, the defeat of Hami would be enough to frighten the Mongols and Uighurs in the city.
It won't be like this now. After that, we have to completely stabilize Hami and make it a stable capital.'
But now that the matter has come to this, of course Zhu Shangbing will not withdraw from Hami City again, and he has to accept the good intentions of the arrogant man: "Thank you very much, brother."
"Then according to the previous agreement,..." said the black man.
"According to the agreement in advance, I will allocate 50,000 shi of grain from the warehouse to you, brother, and you can send troops to get it immediately," Zhu Shangbing said.
"That's good. Although I, Yili Baal, am not poor, I have a large population and the more food, the better." Heidi Erhuo said with a smile.
"Brother, this Meng Ke Timur is also from the Chagatai lineage of your Golden Family. Brother, please take them to Beslopali. I am not a member of the Golden Family, not even a Mongolian. I am afraid that I will leave them in the city.
It is difficult for Hami City to be stable." Zhu Shangbing saw the black man's face hesitated, and then said: "It's just me asking for help."
Heidi Erhuo was indeed hesitant. Now their biggest enemy was the Timur Empire. He wouldn't deliberately leave Meng Ke Timur in Hami to cause trouble for Zhu Shangbing. He really didn't want to take Meng Ke Timur away.
Mengke Timur's brother Anke Timur was imprisoned by him through trickery. They all hate him now, and he is not willing to keep his enemies in his capital.
But Zhu Shangbing was begging for help and had heart-wrenching remarks. He couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "Okay, I will take them to Bie Shibali. But although you are not from our Golden Family, you are not Kuoko Temu."
Your sister’s son? He’s half of our Mongolian blood, so he can be considered a Mongolian.”
Hearing the words of Heidi Erhuo, Zhu Shangbing said: "Brother, it's not that you don't know that Minmintemuir is just my aunt, not my biological mother."
"Well, according to you Han people, all children are the sons of their legitimate mothers, so you can be considered half Mongolian." Heideerhuo said.
Zhu Shangbing wasn't quite sure why the black man must think he was a Mongolian, but there was no need to argue too much with him on this. He smiled and said: "Then I am half Mongolian."
Then he changed the subject: "Brother, please stay in my city of Hami tonight. No matter how you capture the city, you must celebrate it. I will open another bottle of the fine wine I brought from the Central Plains and let my brother drink it."
"That's great. It just so happens that all the wine I brought from you last time has been finished." The black-hot man said with a smile.
Zhu Shangbing heard what he said and smiled again: "Brother, you have drank three bottles of my wine, but I haven't drank a bottle of your wine. When you go to Bishibali in a few months, you will
Don’t be stingy.”
"Of course not. Even if it's imported from the West, you can drink whatever you like from my wine collection." Hei Erhuo said proudly.
"By the way, I haven't seen your granddaughter who is betrothed to my son, so I'll take a look at it then." Zhu Shangbing said suddenly.
"Haha, Shang Bing, are you still afraid that my granddaughter Wulan Tuya will look bad? I have betrothed my most beautiful granddaughter to your son. But you should take a closer look. This is your future eldest daughter-in-law.
She is also the future queen of Qin."
"Also, you should send a few Chinese gentlemen to teach Ulan Tuya Chinese and Chinese characters. Although she is only three years old, she has already started to speak. Let her speak Chinese from an early age to save her from being unable to speak with your son in the future.
" said the black fire man.
"Why should I send someone to Bishibali and send Ulan Tuya to Hami? It would be great to be taught by my princess, so that they can grow up together and have a deeper relationship." Zhu Shangbing said.
"Ulan Tuya is only three years old. She is still relying on her mother. It's better to stay in Bie Shibali for now. You can't let me send my daughter-in-law to Hami." Heidi Erhuo said with unclear meaning.
said.
If a child grows up in Hami, how much can he identify with the Chagatai Khanate? How much can he identify with the Mongols? Maybe when he grows up, he thinks he is a Han, so what is the use of marrying a granddaughter? This is
Absolutely no.
After a while, Zhu Shangbing said: "In that case, let's wait until Ulan Tuya is a few years older." Although the Ming Dynasty is the strongest among the three parties of Ming Dynasty, Yilibali and Wala, specifically in the northwest, Qin Dynasty
The country's strength is far inferior to that of Yilibali and Wala, and he can't force the black men to do anything.
When talking about this matter, the atmosphere between the two of them was a little tense. However, Zhu Shangbing immediately talked about something else, and the atmosphere between the two became harmonious again, and they went to the dinner place hand in hand.
But Zhu Shangbing secretly thought in his heart: 'Sooner or later, I will conquer the entire Western Region, and I don't have to look at other people's faces here.'
