Manlaga is located at the equator, the weather is hot all year round, Xu Jin is easy to sweat, so he is more afraid of heat, at this moment I really want to peel off the official robe on my body and change into a set of cool shorts and shorts, but that is really undignified, so I can only grit my teeth and endure it.

Wen Zhengming was even more afraid of heat than Xu Jin, and the jade-colored Xiucai shirt was wet with sweat and clinged to his back. Tang Bohu's guy has always been uninhibited and uninhibited, and he had already taken off his robe outside, shaking the folding fan while looking at the royal city of Malacca built by the sea in front of him with great interest.

Anyway, why did Tang Bohu, an old ticket passenger, follow Xu Jin to Malacca? It turned out that Wen Zhengming was now a staff member for Xu Jin, and he was very important, specializing in clerical work, and even some of the recitals of the imperial court were drafted and polished by him, and Tang Bohu, as an old friend, was naturally extremely envious.

Not long ago, Tang Bohu went to Guangzhou Mansion to find Wen Zhengming to gather the old, and he was dangling in front of Xu Jin like a peacock with the screen open, and even mentioned the matter of Xu Weixue, the "Shark King", intentionally or unintentionally, and there was no complaint between the words. It means that when he found out that Hui Jing, the host of Daming Temple, was the "shark king" Xu Weixue, and he also had the credit of Tang Bohu, Xu Jin should not favor one over the other, and only reuse Wen Zhengming, not him Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu, an old ticket passenger, was swaying persistently in front of him, Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing, he was so entangled that he had no choice but to take this goods to Nanyang together. However, what Xu Jin didn't expect was that on the way to the South Seas, Tang Bohu's prodigal goods actually shone brightly, and he mixed like a fish in water.

It turned out that this way passed through a lot of Nanyang island countries, in order to pay tribute to the predecessor of the three treasure eunuch Zheng He, to promote the virtue of the Ming Dynasty, Governor Xu visited these countries by the way, during which it was indispensable to show a Ming literary and artistic culture, did not expect that Tang Bohu's poetry and painting works were highly sought after, coupled with the uninhibited character of this goods, the "great sentiment" of being cold and unscrupulous, every place must visit the brothel of the Qinglou, and the famous prostitutes there "in-depth exchanges and discussions", so the fame of Tang Dacai became more and more loud, has become a big star, and his popularity among the people even exceeds that of Xu Jin, the governor.

Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing at this, and simply appointed this product as the Nanyang Xuanfu envoy, who was specifically responsible for diplomacy, dealt with the Nanyang island countries, and made every effort to make him a "business card" of the Ming Dynasty. So, even if you are useless, as long as you find the right direction, you can still get into the mix!

At this point, the fleet began to slowly sail into the harbor outside the King of Malacca, crossing the bridge and reaching the inner harbour terminal.

On the dock, a group of generals have been waiting for a long time, including Yu Dayou, Xie Erjian, Cen Lan, Wang Zhi, Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai, Wang Duo, and the backbone of their respective commands. In addition, the new king of Manla, Bintang, also took his courtiers to wait in line on the dock, and I don't know whether it was for personal preference or other reasons, the courtiers of this cargo were all fat, all fat and big-eared, full of blessings, which really made people laugh.

Xu Jin boarded the dock surrounded by Jinyi Wei and the five hundred battalion soldiers, and all the generals straightened their waists and said in unison: "See the big marshal." ”

Xu Jin inspected all the generals under his command with a spring breeze on his face, and gave a thumbs up without hesitation and praised: "Good job, you are all good sons of my Ming Dynasty, this handsome is proud and proud of you, Wansheng!" ”

"The Ming Dynasty wins, my emperor wins, the handsome wins!" The generals sang in unison, and their faces were red with excitement.

Prince Bintang was very knowledgeable, and when Xu Jin finished meeting with the generals, he stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Governor Xu." ”

Xu Jin smiled and saluted: "Congratulations to the prince (the name of the king of the Nanyang subject country of the Ming Dynasty) for recovering the country and revitalizing the temple, which is gratifying." ”

The prince of Bintang said with a spring breeze on his face: "Thanks to the great help of the Governor and the great kindness, Bintang will never dare to forget." ”

Xu Jin said with a whole expression: "The prince's words are wrong, Manlaga was originally my Ming vassal country, and the Buddha Lang machine people blatantly invaded, offended my great prestige, and damaged the face of our emperor." It is within the duty of this official to send troops to exterminate him on the orders of our emperor. What the prince should remember is the kindness of my Ming Dynasty and the kindness of my emperor. ”

After Xu Jin finished speaking, he hugged his fist at the north Yaoyao to show respect for the great tomorrow, and then stared at Bintang with blazing eyes, the latter twitched the corner of his eye, and knelt down to bow to the north and said: "Chen Bintang, Yao knock my emperor, thank you for your kindness, long live long live!" ”

Seeing this, the ministers behind the prince of Bintang also knelt down and thanked Emperor Daming. The surrounding Ming soldiers straightened their waists, and a sense of pride arose.

Wen Zhengming nodded secretly with his beard, Xu Jin made this great contribution at a young age, and he was worried that Xu Jin would get carried away, after all, there were too many heroes in history who were proud of their merits, and none of them had a good end in the end, and now seeing that Xu Jin was not dizzy and did something beyond the norm, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

After bowing to the great emperor, the prince of Bintang stood up and said enthusiastically: "Lord Xu has come from afar, he must be tired, this king has prepared a place for the lord, please follow the king into the city to settle down and freshen up, and then hold a reception banquet for the lord and all the soldiers in the evening." ”

From the moment the prince of Bintang decisively made a kneeling action, Xu Jin was impressed by this fat man, and at the same time secretly vigilant, this fat man is quite able to bear it, if he is allowed to sit firmly on the throne of Manraka, it may not be a good thing for Da Ming, and it is not a good thing for his next deployment.

"There is a prince of Lao!" Xu Jin quietly followed the prince of Bintang into the royal city of Malacca.

The royal city of Malacca has a wide variety of architectural styles, ranging from European-style castles to Arab rotunds, and of course, courtyards with a Ming pattern. Originally, the prince of Bintang prepared a set of Chinese-style courtyards for Xu Jin, but Wang Cuiqiao seemed to be more interested in European-style castles, so Xu Jin happily changed to live in the castle, and this pampering made the Wang family immersed in the ocean of happiness.

After living in the royal city of Malacca, Xu Jin did three things, the first thing was naturally to reward the three armies, seeing Xu Jin taking the wealth that belonged to him and rewarding the army, the prince of Bintang convulsed in pain, but he didn't say anything, and greeted Xu Jin with a smile every day, trying his best to flatter, but the more he could bear it, the more vigilant Xu Jin became.

The second thing Xu Jin did was to follow the practice of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the Western Regions and set up the Nanyang Protectorate, of course, this kind of thing was not something that Xu Jin could decide directly, and it had to be approved by the imperial court.

As a modern person, he knows the importance of the Strait of Malacca, and also knows the importance of controlling the sea power, the future is the world of the ocean, and the ban on the sea is the biggest mistake of the Ming Dynasty in the national policy. It is precisely because of the forbidden sea that the Ming Dynasty missed the Age of Discovery, borrowed the primitive accumulation of capital, and was overtaken by the West in all aspects, thus laying the root of being ravaged by the Western powers hundreds of years later. What Xu Jin has to do now is to cut off this bane, and controlling Malacca and controlling the South China Sea is his first step.

After arranging the affairs of the garrison, Xu Jin began to work on the third thing, that is, to open a academy. To truly conquer a nation, it is obviously impossible to rely on force alone, but also must be combined with economic and cultural means, indoctrination is the first step, only let this nation in the cultural spirit of the Ming Dynasty identity and sense of belonging, the place can be long-term peace and stability. Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty's national strength declines and its control over these areas declines, people with bad intentions will immediately jump out to make trouble and rebel. This was the case with the Western Regions during the Han and Tang dynasties, when the Han and Tang dynasties were strong, they were attached, and once the Han and Tang dynasties declined, the Western Regions countries immediately turned against each other.

Therefore, education is very important, and it is necessary to set up Daming Academy, so under the auspices of Xu Jin, the first Daming Academy in the royal city of Malacca was established, and Wen Zhengming became the first head of the academy.

Xu Jin set up a garrison in the royal city of Malacca, and opened a academy to teach Confucianism, these two measures all exposed his "ambition", and also seriously infringed on the interests of the prince of Bintang, but this fat goods still continued to endure, and still greeted Xu Jin with a smile every day, and was respectful.

In this way, Xu Jin felt more and more that this fat man was not suitable to be a king anymore, and before leaving Manraga, Xu Jin decided to get rid of him. It was not easy to control Malacca, and with the retribution of the Portuguese imminent, Xu Jin naturally would not leave such a big hidden danger to Yu Dayou.

It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong in front of the national interests, you can only blame this fat man for his bad life, of course, Xu Jin will try his best to give him a good result, but it is impossible to continue to keep him as the king of Manraka.
