The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

"Well, how could this be the case? Is Her Royal Highness going back to the country with us?"

The Chenla envoys who were released also learned about the relationship between Princess Sultana and the grandson of Ming Dynasty under the notice of Jin Yiwei.

For a moment, they were all confused and didn't know how to deal with it.

It is said that they have followed into the palace now, that is no longer within their reach.

Amona sighed and said, "It is Princess Sultana's blessing to be the concubine of the great-grandson of Ming Dynasty."

"Your Excellency the Eldest Prince originally wanted to ascend to the throne through the support of the General of the Lancang Kingdom, but now with the support of Daming, no one would dare to compete with the Eldest Prince."

"However, it's good or bad that Ming has been involved in Khmer."

Amona is not stupid.

As for Annan, it is still close to Angkor Champa, and now there are princesses who become the concubines of the grandsons of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the current Annan, apart from retaining the status of the royal family, all the land has actually been controlled by Ming.

Champa has been at war with Chenla for many years, so it is naturally more familiar.

Wuli City in Champa Kingdom is a well-known big city, but under the decree of the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, it became the vassal of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi.

This is tantamount to handing over one's own city to others.

Amona shook his head slightly, throwing all the thoughts out of his mind.

It doesn't really matter what you think, whether it's Daming or the eldest prince, it's not something you can touch.

Along the way, Amona has a good impression of Sultana. She is not as savage as other princes and princesses. She is very innocent, but she speaks more directly.

Now being able to marry the great grandson of Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a fruitful achievement.

Sultana, who entered the palace, was naturally very excited, but right now Zhu Ying's thoughts were already on the Angkor Dynasty.

How to make Ming's army better intervene in the Angkor Dynasty is also a technical task.

From a righteous point of view, whether it is Annan or Wa Kingdom, Daming still occupies the moral high ground.

Annan was Hu Jishu's rebellion, not to mention the Japanese kingdom, not only allowed the Japanese pirates to invade the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty, but also killed the envoys of Ming Dynasty, provoking the majesty of the kingdom of heaven.

It can be said that it is completely self-inflicted to be reduced to the battlefield where the four kings are fighting for hegemony.

Now Kyushu Island has basically completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Wa Kingdom itself has absolutely no intention of taking it back. It is just that everything will be fine if it does not expand its territory.

"Hey, after all, the population reserve is too small."

Zhu Ying rubbed her brows, feeling a little annoyed.

It's really frustrating to see that the meat in your mouth can't be eaten.

Wa Kingdom, Northern Yuan Dynasty, and even today's Western Regions, Tubo, Annan, and Champa have absorbed a large number of talents from Ming Dynasty.

There is a saying that takes a hundred years to grow a tree and ten years to grow a person.

Education is being popularized vigorously, but there is still a long way to go before these students become useful.

Originally, Daming's talent reserve became more and more urgent.

Especially with the prosperity of maritime trade, the status of maritime merchants began to increase. Many students even lost the idea of ​​obtaining fame after studying, and preferred to go to sea to do business.

The main reason is that the money for going overseas to do business comes too fast.

With the capital as the center, Ming's economy began to radiate to all directions. No matter how high the taxes in the Jiangnan area were, they were no longer in the eyes of the big families in the south of the Yangtze River.

The income they earn from a trip to the sea can easily pay taxes for a year.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's strict prohibition against barren fields, I'm afraid a large number of farmers would be recruited away and follow them to the sea.

"The situation in the north is good. The Jurchens in the East China Sea and the scattered Mongols have all been recruited. We think it's time to vigorously develop the black land."

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, money is important, but food is the foundation of everything.

He was hungry and scared since he was a child, and what worried him most was the food problem.

Because the great grandson advocated the way of business, Zhu Yuanzhang did not suppress the merchants any more, and he acquiesced in the improvement of the status of the merchants.

And in all parts of Daming, a large number of government-run and private-run factories were established. For ordinary people, farming is not as good as workmanship.

The previous year's harvest may not be able to exchange for three or four months' wages.

And don't worry about natural disasters, you just need to work hard to get enough food and clothing, which is not much better than eating in the ground.

The passing of farmers will naturally affect the overall harvest.

Zhu Yuanzhang can clearly see from the annual income details that the annual income of the Daming Banknotes has shown a high upward trend, but with the taxation of grains grown in large quantities with high-yield crops, the increase will almost stop.

Among them, high-yield crops even occupy the bulk. The output of rice and wheat has not decreased much, but it has not increased much.

So of course Zhu Yuanzhang put his mind on the black soil.

"Actually, grandpa doesn't need to worry too much. The black land is naturally the key to development, but our Ming Dynasty is actually not as short of food as we imagined."

"Overseas, especially in Champa and Annan, many businessmen have already contracted land and hired people to plant it."

"The rice production over there is very rich. There are three crops and four crops a year, and the taste is better."

"Sun'er is already guiding some big sea merchants to buy and sell grain. Although it has not yet formed a scale, it is already continuously transporting to my Ming Dynasty."

"In the black land, not only the Han people, but also all ethnic groups in the grassland, including Korea, can be used for joint development."

Food is fundamental, and Zhu Ying certainly will not spend all her thoughts on simply improving the economy.

Moreover, with the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the development of black land will become more difficult.

On the contrary, the Nanyang region has strong resistance to the Little Ice Age. After all, it is a tropical region, and it can't be too cold no matter how cold it is.

There is no need to worry too much about food production.

The lifespan of the dynasty has always been affected by the climate, and the development of the Nanyang region can continue the Ming Dynasty to a large extent.

As long as the Little Ice Age survives, the population of the entire world will usher in an explosion.

To put it simply, the Nanyang region is the place where the Ming Dynasty survived the catastrophe.

With the passage of time, the 20 soldiers who escorted the grandson of the Ming Dynasty to the country of Wa have basically gathered in place.

We'll be leaving soon.

It was also at this time that Yao Guangxiao, who was serving as a national teacher in Korea, received a letter from Zhu Ying.

"Persuading Oala to besiege Timur, it seems that His Royal Highness has not forgotten me after all."

Yao Guangxiao was very happy.

In fact, Yao Guangxiao really couldn't arouse too much interest in serving as a national teacher in Korea.

Li Chenggui was not Yao Guangxiao's opponent at all, which made Yao Guangxiao feel very boring.

Because of the relationship restricted by the three parties, especially when it comes to the ownership of Goryeo, Yao Guangxiao is doomed to be unable to dominate the family, and can only be restrained.

Gold, silver, wealth, power and status are just floating clouds to Yao Guangxiao's next life, what he wants more is to display his ambitions.

Yao Guangxiao didn't feel much about just capturing the Japanese side.

The main reason is that in the conquest of the Japanese kingdom, Goryeo was only an auxiliary position, and the Ming army was the main force, which made Yao Guangxiao feel very non-existent.

Therefore, Yao Guangxiao was very interested in the trip to Wala.

Wei Guang was somewhat reluctant.

"Going to Wala, the mountains are high and the road is far away. I heard that the land of Wala is poor and bad. The national teacher is old. Why don't you ask His Royal Highness to have mercy."

Yao Guangxiao and Wei Guang are two people, one is in Wen and the other is in Wu.

After several years of getting along, the relationship has become very good.

Wei Guang was worried that Yao Guangxiao's body would not be able to survive such a long journey, or that he might have an accident after arriving in Wala.

But he didn't know that for Yao Guangxiao, working together and wandering among various forces is his favorite thing to do.

"Thank you, General Wei, for your kindness. This is the meaning of His Royal Highness, and it is also the love of the poor monk. Since the poor monk left, this Koryo has entrusted General Yu Wei to take care of it."

Yao Guangxiao's words were full of persistence.

Seeing that the national teacher was like this, Wei Guang didn't insist on persuading him anymore, but went to the army to select the most powerful soldiers to guard the safety of the road.

Not long after Yao Guangxiao set off from Wala, Zhu Ying was also ready to set off here.

Perhaps because of some special relationship, Sultana was not pregnant during two months of cultivation.

Hearing that Zhu Ying was going to Japan to negotiate, she immediately said that she would go with her.

It's a long way, so it's not a bad thing to take the United States with you, just bring Sultana with you.

As for the Chenla mission, after the end of the tribute trade, they also returned to Angkor with a large amount of goods.

When the time was about the same, Zhu Ying also took advantage of the opportunity to take the Chenla mission for a ride, which was regarded as giving Sultana face.

The mouth of the Yangtze River.

Because of Taisun's going to sea, private merchant ships are already prohibited from approaching the largest pier.

The envoys of Amona stared blankly at the hundreds of treasure ships on the pier that were as tall as a city wall.

Taisun going to sea, of course, is something that the Daming Navy needs to go all out for.

All the newly built Dafu Ships in the past two years, that is, treasure ships, have all been pulled out.

There are 20 sailors waiting, accompanied by [-] soldiers, for a total of [-] troops.

Among them, there are a large number of horse boats accompanying them, transporting tens of thousands of war horses.

This means that there are still [-] cavalry who followed Zhu Ying to the country of Wa this time.

20 troops, together with the 10,000+ troops of the current four vassals of the Wa Kingdom, if the victory is by force, they can push the Wa Kingdom horizontally.

This put a lot of pressure on Japan.

"My God, there is such a tall building. I thought it was a seaside city before." Sultana's eyes lit up.

As far as Daming is concerned with Angkor, Lu Bing is actually not very worried, but the navy is completely different.

The Angkor Dynasty was near the sea, and naturally the sea trade was developed.

If the Great Ming Navy attacks Angkor, it can directly block all the sea areas of the Angkor Dynasty.

And Angkor can't resist at all.

Suddenly, Sultana's heart began to think carefully.

As long as a son can be born, it is really possible to inherit the Angkor dynasty.

The envoys of Chenla, Amona, left with a lot of shock. He was responsible for conveying the news to Angkor, especially about Princess Sultana becoming the grandson concubine.

And when Zhu Ying went to the country of Wa, the country of Wa naturally received the news in advance.

Rarely, the whole Wa country suddenly fell into calm, and the four vassal kings also gathered at the port of Wa country near the coast of Daming to greet them.

"Hey, it's been a long time, fourth brother. I heard that I got another silver mine recently. It seems that I have gained a lot."

When Zhu Yan saw Zhu Di, he didn't stop talking, and immediately turned on the mocking mode.

Zhu Di is not used to Zhu Yan now, and counterattacked: "Of course it is not as good as the third brother who won two, but I heard that the manpower in the third brother's mine is not enough recently, and now they are arresting Japanese slaves everywhere, but it took a lot of money." mind."

"Especially half a month ago, I was tricked by the warriors of the Japanese country and lost many soldiers."

"Let me tell you, third brother, don't go too far. At least these Japanese slaves are allowed to eat when they are working. Otherwise, how can they have the energy to dig mines?"

"Third brother, you say yes."

Zhu Di's ridicule made Zhu Yan very angry, but there was no chance to refute.

Zhu Yan himself has a brutal personality. When he was in the Ming Dynasty, it was a bit bad to describe it as a careless account of human life. Now that he has transferred to the Wa Kingdom, most of the people under his rule are Japanese, so it is even more inappropriate.

It was because of the chamber of commerce that some extremely cruel methods were not displayed, but the people of the Wa country were never treated as human beings.

The Japanese aristocrats under his command were even more unlucky, almost all the big names were slaughtered by Zhu Yan.

When Zhu Di mocked Zhu Yan.

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Di with some displeasure.

Why did he feel that the fourth child was insinuating about himself?

As far as killing people is concerned, Zhu Xi feels that he is okay, that is, he has slaughtered a city.

You must know that when the second concubine Deng was there, Zhu Xi was even more brutal in the feudal land.

Even the third child is inferior in comparison.

"Second brother, I didn't mean you just now." Zhu Di looked at his second brother Zhu Xi with bad eyesight, and quickly explained with a smile.

He was already a deadly enemy with the third brother, and Zhu Di didn't want to provoke the second brother.

In Zhu Di's heart, the second brother is simply a copy of Chang Yuchun back then, and he never took human life seriously.

And the guards under his command followed suit one by one, attacking fiercely.

Coupled with the status of the second elder brother's clan order, Zhu Di was somewhat afraid.

If it weren't for Zhu Xi in history, Zhu Yu died early, and Zhu Di would not have said the battle of Jingnan.

The second and third brothers alone can easily suppress him.

The key is Zhu Xi and Zhu Yan, and the relationship with Zhu Yunqi is pretty good.

"Okay, I don't want to worry about the messy things between you guys. The eldest nephew will arrive soon, so everyone should settle down. Don't make it difficult for the eldest nephew." Zhu Xi didn't bother with Zhu Di either.

In fact, in terms of military affairs, Zhu Xi has seen the strength of the fourth child.

To be honest, his development in Yancheng is much better than his own including the second and seventh.

Among them, Zhu Xi even saw the shadow of his father.

Zhu Yu has no right to speak when he is on the sidelines.

In terms of strength, Zhu Yu himself belonged to the second echelon of the Daming princes, and when the three older brothers were talking, he could only listen in.
