In the sound of farewell drums, the fleet of the masters sailing to the West sailed away from Taicang and began their journey of thousands of miles...

There will be no danger in the voyage.

At this time, all of Nanyang was under the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Ming Dynasty envoys had sent envoys to Nanyang many times before.

Java, Srivijaya, Chenla...

Been to all of these.

It can be said that everything east of the Strait of Malacca was visited by Ming Dynasty envoys. During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang's envoys made intensive missions to Nanyang to declare his power. The most recent one should be in the 21st year of Hongwu.

As for the west, there was indeed no fleet passing by.

But at this time, the area under the jurisdiction of the Yunnan Chengxuan Envoy on land was almost as far as Yangon.

But there is definitely no Yangon now. There is now a small chief named Min Teleng, who was later granted the title of Dagula Xuanweisi during the Yongle period. But now they don't even have the qualifications of Xuanweisi, they are just a miscellaneous native chief.

.As for Myanmar, it is the Central Myanmar Propaganda Department, but the territory is from the west bank of the Irrawaddy River to the Rakhine Mountains, and the lower reaches are not their territory. As for the east coast and northern Myanmar, it is the control area of ​​​​Luchuan, and Sirunfa used Lucchuan to level Burma.

The Wai Si Xuan Wai envoys controlled most of modern Myanmar.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Luchuan was very strong.

This chieftain who could not be seen later could be said to be the overlord of this area. Even Mengdun Sunhan to the west, who later became Ahong, had to surrender to Luchuan.

It was because they couldn't stand the oppression of Luchuan that they migrated westward generation after generation.

In short, it can be said that most of the next voyages of this fleet will be among the vassals that have been clearly defined by the Ming Dynasty.

They will welcome the angel.

After all, they really depended on Ming Dynasty for their livelihood.

Especially now that Zhu Yuanzhang has begun to gradually liberalize foreign trade, and spring is coming again for those small and messy countries in Southeast Asia. At this time, we must do our best to satisfy the emperor, otherwise if he just says a tribute, everyone will really have to tighten their belts and live a hard life.

of.

"Ambassador, it's time to get on the ship!"

Princess Lu said with a smile.

Her sunny background looks like Sister Jinlian holding a medicine bowl.

This woman did it on purpose. She was simply bad. She knew that it was impossible for her. After all, even if her husband had been dead for many years, as a princess, there was no possibility of remarrying. So now she was deliberately tormenting to vent her inability to possess Yang.

Of course, Feng's anger may not be so complicated, it may simply be that he can't control it after holding it in for a long time.

"Get aboard!"

Yang Feng broke the jar and said.

They all have a bit of a broken sound.

Isn't it just dancing on three eggs? Isn't it just having to face two women coming to your door at the same time in the middle of the night? It's not a big deal if I'm afraid they will do anything. Besides, I have to face it sooner or later...

"My brother!"

Zhang Ying's sudden scream saved him.

Yang Feng raised his head in astonishment and looked at a centipede ship that was approaching at full speed in the distance. Standing on the bow of the ship was Zhang Fu. He was only wearing a court uniform. Now he was also the commander, so he wore a red robe and a beam crown on his head.

, and looked very solemn. Zhang Fu also looked at them in surprise, obviously not expecting to meet them here, and then as they looked at each other, the centipede ship quickly docked at the newly cleared dock. And

Just like Yang Feng liked to do, Zhang Fu took a copper trumpet from the soldier next to him and put it to his mouth under his gaze.

"The King of Yan pacified the Japanese country and brought prisoners to the court!"

Zhang Fu shouted to the soldiers and civilians on the shore with the loudest voice he could reach.

And on the yellow river in the distance, countless masts appeared...

Zhu Di is here.

His Highness King Yan came with the glory of victory.

He is like the invincible god of war, returning with his huge army and his captives!

The return of the king?

But……

"When did your father give the order for him to enter the court as a prisoner?"

Amid the cheers on the pier, Yang Feng grabbed the little princess and asked.

"I haven't heard of it either. I knew I wouldn't tell you!"

The little princess also looked confused.

"You haven't heard of it either?"

Yang Feng was stunned.

Then he let go of his hand, and the little princess moved silently.

It's nothing for Zhu Di to return in triumph. His triumph has long been inevitable, but the problem is that he is a vassal king. Even if he returns in triumph, he cannot go back wherever he wants. Without Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict, he has no right to enter the court, even if he does

It is not possible to present prisoners to the court. So it can only be that Zhu Yuanzhang has already given him the imperial edict, but if Zhu Yunxi knew this kind of thing, it would be impossible not to tell the little princess, so Zhu Yunxi must not know, but now the military and political affairs of the imperial court are basically

I want him to handle it.

Unless Zhu Yuanzhang issued a secret edict and deliberately bypassed his grandson.

But the problem becomes complicated.

"This old guy actually learned how to conduct a surprise attack!"

Yang Feng touched his mustache and said with a deep expression.

"Don't talk about my dad like that!"

The little princess was angry.

"Ah, this old emperor, what does he want to do? He is already so old, why can't he live in peace and contentment? I should really give him some old man fun later and let him learn how to live well in his old age."

Yang Feng said.

"My father probably just wants to show off his military exploits, right?"

The little princess followed his example and also touched her chin and said.

The two men's heads were pressed together, looking down like two traitors.

"Do you believe it yourself?"

Yang Feng said with disdain.

"Well, it seems that my father is indeed not such a superficial person."

The little princess felt a little embarrassed.

Of course, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang's real purpose is, it is now a fait accompli. His Royal Highness, King Yan, with the glory of the winner, can be said to be full of halo and brought his captives to the court to offer them captives. At this moment, he is the undefeated God of War of the Ming Dynasty.

, no matter what his nephew would think, in the end he could only choose to cheer for him to win, and the people of Ming Dynasty would also cheer for him to win.

And it’s a real cheer from the heart.

After all, he was pacifying the Japanese country, which meant that the Japanese pirates who once harassed the coast disappeared.

Theoretically disappeared.

As for actually...

How could pirates disappear?

But no matter what, the reputation of His Highness King Yan has reached an unprecedented height. In just a few years, he settled in the desert and opened up Huining, making the Ming Dynasty expand thousands of miles, and the territory reached as far as Lingbei...

Last year, Whale Guard sent a ship to sail north and inspect the coast of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. They even brought a few wild animals as tribute, but they all died on the way, so they brought back a few skins.

But in any case, the Ming Dynasty finally began to reach as far as Lingbei.

Now he conquered the Japanese country and developed Fusang.

This military exploit is really unmatched by anyone, even those veterans have to succumb to it.

Although the real battle is in the Japanese country, and the opponent's combat effectiveness is still extremely weak, no matter how you calculate it, the vast territory he has opened up is real, not to mention commanding an army of hundreds of thousands, which also proves his strength.

No one can surpass him, not even the King of Jin. The King of Jin only went on almost an armed patrol in Kansai. In fact, there was no real war at all. At most, he wiped out a few small tribes.

King Yan is invincible!

"An uncle with great military exploits, a young but nephew of the prince, your father is really good at playing!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

"Don't always think of my father as a conspiracy."

The little princess weakly defended her father.

At this time, Zhang Fu had already landed.

"Longquan Guard Commander Zhang Fu has met Princess Hanshan."

Of course he had to come to the princess first.
