Chapter 344 Conqueror

On November 13, 2018, when most of the worlds in the Ming Dynasty were covered with ice and snow, in the south of the ocean, thousands of miles away, it still looked like midsummer.

Although the land had already appeared in sight yesterday afternoon, Shi Yiwen did not order landing, but ordered to slow down and sail around the land. Soon, they found the spacious estuary and then stopped about five miles away from the estuary.

In the following time, Shi Yiwen stood at the stern of the boat, wearing a red official robe, staring at the land covered with dense forests with a serious expression. At this time, his mood could be said to be a little excited.

Perhaps others didn't know what all this meant to survive, but he knew very well what this voyage meant.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that he ordered the ship to berth and then patiently wait for dawn the next day.

On November 13, early in the morning, after the rising sun rose, after the sailors all enjoyed a hearty breakfast, the landing began. The New Hope and New World ships sailed to about two miles from the coast, and then lowered four small sampans. Although these four sloops were small, they carried four small cannons.

Shi Yiwen, who was at the bow of the boat, began his landing, and the commander took an armed boat with the Ming flag flying onto the shore - even the "Sun and Moon Flag" was prepared specifically for this voyage after he asked Emperor Wanli.

In addition to Li Desheng of the "New Hope", the captain of the "New World" Ma Longlin and his younger brother Ma Longji also took their own boats to the shore. The boat sailed into the estuary and arrived at the land of the dense rainforest. After landing, they held a particularly grand landing ceremony.

Shi Yiwen, wearing a red official robe of a fifth-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, held the Ming Dynasty flag with his arms and held high with his hands. The two fully armed captains carried the red "Ming" flag, which was the most traditional flag of the Ming Dynasty, which was different from the "Sun and Moon Flag" made by Shi Yiwen. The other crew members followed closely behind them. The air here was particularly fresh, making people feel refreshed. When the gentle sea breeze blew, the crew members were all excited and excited, and they were all there looking at this strange land with full spirit. Even if the land in their sight was full of rainforest.

In fact, it is not just a rainforest, at least in the river estuary, there are meadows by the sea that stretch several hundred meters inland. This is also the reason why Shi Yiwen chose to land here.

"Maybe, this is also the reason why Raffles chose to log in here!"

However, Shi Yiwen did not feel too much emotion. He seemed quite excited. As soon as he got ashore, he first knelt on his knees, kissed the sand and soil on the beach, and then was so excited that he had already flowed out of his eyes that he said with tears in his eyes.

"God blesses us to arrive in this land!"

Perhaps other people didn't know why Shi Yiwen was so excited, but all the entourages still knelt down and kissed the land according to his actions. They were also very excited because they all knew what today meant, which meant that they would expand territory for the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, under the bright sunshine near the equator, the beaches and the sea reflected strong and even dazzling light. After the initial preparation, the occupation ceremony was held. All of these were familiar and unfamiliar to the Chinese people of this era. What is familiar is that the records of "Yanran Le Gong" in history books are endless, and what is unfamiliar is that this occupation ceremony is different from the traditional "Yanran Le Gong".

Zhu Mingzhong, wearing a Ming Dynasty uniform, held a scepter in both hands, and then made a loud and solemn announcement to the land.

"I, Shi Yiwen, the General Office of the Taxation of the Ming Dynasty, officially declared in front of everyone that he occupied this place in the name of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! From then on, this place has been the land of my Ming Dynasty!"

When the words were finished, Shi Yiwen even pulled out the Shangfang sword rewarded by Emperor Wanli to slay the sword and chop off a few branches and thatched grass around him, symbolizing the completion of the conquest operation. This conquest does not require force or the consent of the local natives.

"Okay, now please make a name for yourself and witness this conquest!"

After hearing the order, the people present made verbal statements as he asked. Then they called the documents of the fleet to record the statements of Shi Yiwen and others and sealed them. Shi Yiwen didn't even know what he had created. From then on, every time the explorers and captains of the Ming Dynasty sailed, notaries, pens, paper and ink became their essential equipment.

"I officially named this place "Nan Tianmen" with the power given to me by His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"

In fact, the island in another world is called "Singapore", but now, the reason why Shi Yiwen named it "South Heaven Gate" is because he hopes that this place can become the southern gate of the Ming Dynasty in the future and block all dangers from the southern gate outside the gate.

"Secretary General, what's next?"

After the occupation ceremony, the ***, who looked a little dazed, still felt like he was dreaming when he said this, just like that...even if he expanded his territory?

This is too ridiculous!

Indeed, it is difficult for the Chinese people of this era to understand such conquest. In their opinion, conquest should be a large army to attack and then attack cities and destroy countries. They never thought that such conquest would be such a conquest, and such a high-sounding one, and that would not be regarded as a human being in this way.

"fortification!"

Pointing to the flat grass by the estuary, Shi Yiwen directly revealed the job that a Chinese man is best at.

"fortification?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Shi Yiwen continued.

"There are rainforests around here. Starting today, half of our crew members logged and built a city every day. In addition, they organized an expedition team to go deeper along the river estuary. If there are natives, try to communicate with them and show them our identity. I think some of them are willing to help us build a city..."

Just give them enough money!

In this world, the reason why Westerners were able to conquer most of the world and make most of the world their colonies was never just relying on the strength of ships and cannons, not just on themselves, but on the local party leading the way.

The Leadership Party... there should be a lot of them here! After all, in another world, the reason why the British Stanford Raffles was able to occupy the Sinjapi was the Leadership Party.
