Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 194 Warmly welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County to come and guide
The huge treasure ship broke through the waves, and a dolphin leap suddenly appeared on the bow, which was a good sign for the sailors.

Zheng He looked at the jubilant dolphins with a smile on his face. He recalled Zhu Zhanchang's words before he set off. His words seemed to have some magic power, and they always lingered in his heart.

"Are you going to look further afield?" Zheng He said to himself.

At this time, Xian came to him. As a partner who has traveled to the West many times, Hou Xian had already seen his intention. Zheng He was no longer hesitating at this time, but was full of excitement. It was the same as before their first voyage to the West.

It has been a long time since this, the excitement of rushing into the unknown came.

"Master Zheng, let's go to Krummus again, let's try to go further west."

"But our job is to send people back."

"Complete the task first, and then decide whether to go further. As long as you say to go, I will wait and follow."

"Go, go?" Zheng He muttered to himself.

……

Zhu Zhanchang left Stormwind Harbor and soon arrived in the Gulf of Thailand. The wind and waves in the Gulf of Thailand were small and the water was clear. Looking at the sparkling blue water, Cao Xinyue's eyes lit up.

It's just that she didn't want to show her little girl's appearance in front of Zhu Zhanchang.

"His Royal Highness is in front of Gan Wu, and an envoy has been sent to inform him that he will be able to dock in a while."

This notice is that one day has passed, and when Zhu Zhanchang docked, the king of Gan Wu was at the port.

It was a man with a jet-black beard, dressed in local clothes, with golden decorations, and spoke very respectfully, but Zhu Zhanchang couldn't understand it.

After the translation, it is: "King of Ganwu, Varman XI, welcomes the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County."

The king also took a few more glances at the huge warship behind Zhu Zhanchang.

Ganwu and Daming have a good relationship. Going forward 100 years, they were once the heyday dynasty in Southeast Asia, but they have been suppressed by Siam in recent years.

Varman XI gave a grand welcome to Zhu Zhanchang and also took Zhu Zhanchang to ride an elephant, and other businessmen called by Zhu Zhanchang also rode an elephant.

There are two reasons for being able to receive such a grand welcome. One is the strength of Daming itself. A small country like Ganwu must have a good relationship with Daming. They brought a great deal of wealth, and as king he treated them as VIPs.

The street scenery of Ganwu is very different from that of Daming. Everyone looks at both sides of the street curiously. People dress differently. In places with abundant materials, there are fruits on the roadside and the mountains are full of fruit trees. Many of these fruits are Daming doesn't have it.

Now there is the convenience of steam warships and the ability to transport some fruits back to China, where cheap fruits can be sold for a lot of money in Daming.

Varman XI prepared a grand welcome dinner for the group in his palace, but because of exotic food, many people are not used to it.

However, exotic beauties can still be admired. Those who can dance in the palace must be carefully selected women. Even if the women here have dark skin, there are always beautiful women.

And the girls here wear less clothes.

A group of old men watched with great interest and followed the leader to eat, drink and have fun. Everyone was happy.

After the dance, we began to talk about business, and King Varman XI picked up the wine glass and started talking, and after the translation, he said: "Thank you very much for His Royal Highness Prince Zhujiang County to come to our Ganwu in person, and I am very happy with the decision of Daming to open the sea ban. We, Ganwu, are willing to trade with Daming, and we have a lot of good products that can be sold to Daming."

"King Varman, our Daming has now opened maritime trade, communicating with Ganwu, and developing harmoniously. The main commodities our country needs now are grains and fruits. These things can be shipped to our country for sale. Of course, you can also cooperate with anything you want. Our merchants said I brought all the merchants who could trade by sea."

A group of merchants toasted and greeted Varman XI.

Varman XI said in a meaningful way: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County, the sea is windy and waves are strong, and the climate is humid and hot, the food is not bad, it is difficult to transport the fruit to Daming, but I see that the ships you have seen are unusual. It’s amazing, and it drives fast, can I sell a few of our ships, and I can use it as a merchant ship to transport goods.”

It turned out to be the idea of ​​​​our steam warship. Can this thing be given to you?

Zhu Zhanchang politely refused: "The emperor of Daming has an order that the ships cannot be sold, but this is okay. After our merchant ships from Daming came over, we cleared the goods, and we can cooperate with your merchants to transport your goods to Daming and collect the goods. A certain fee is fine, and my merchant ships of Ming Dynasty, the pirates at sea dare not approach."

When Varman XI was a little confused, Zhu Zhanqian said about Yamamoto 62 and Zhu Di's will: "As long as anyone who dares to offend our Ming merchant ships, no matter if they are pirates or other countries, Ming will conquer the whole country and will never die."

Pay attention to the small calculus in the mind of the Great and Small Varman XI. If there are steam ships in other countries, they must have taken things from the Ming Dynasty, and that is the enemy country.

These small countries don't have the guts to fight Ming.

Zhu Zhanchang's words are very obvious, and Varman XI has no idea of ​​warships for the time being. He just opened the sea ban, and he must take advantage of this time to have a good relationship with Daming.

After the wine tour, King Varman XI and other businessmen were very happy. Zhu Zhanchang said to him: "King Varman XI has one more thing to inform you this time."

"Please speak, His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhujiang County."

"You also know that our Daming is at war with Jiaozhi, but we pity the common people in Jiaozhi. Our army is not willing to slaughter, so the war has been stalemate. There is already a shortage of food in Jiaozhi. I don't want to get news in the future. The rebels of the Lei Dynasty have food deals, and if there is food and other items to support the rebels in Cochin, it should be generalized with the alliance of Cochin.”

When the ministers around Varman XI learned about Zhu Zhanchang’s threat, their hearts were already burning with anger. Daming was too arrogant, but Varman XI was a smart man and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is okay. Don't worry, the people of Jiaozhi are very rude and have old grudges with us, how could I help them, it's just Your Highness, I can help Daming, and I hope Daming will help us, not to trade with Siam."

"No." Zhu Zhanchang answered him simply.

I can negotiate terms with you, but you can't. What I'm talking about with you is not terms, but notices.

"His Royal Highness, among friends, we have to help each other."

"Yeah, Gan Wu is our friend, and Siam is also our friend. We hope that friends can get along well, but if one friend threatens me, then I will help another friend."

Warman XI looked gloomy, and his courtiers didn't look good either, but after a brief silence, Warman XI laughed out loud: "Yes, His Highness is right, our two countries are friends, and we will be friends in the future. We need to help each other even more.”

"What King Varman XI said is very true."

It was impossible for Gan Wu to give up trade with Daming and push Daming to the side of Siam. As for not trading food with Jiaozhi, it was just a favor. He could still hope that Jiaozhi would be successful.

The only worry in his heart is that Daming's pacification of Jiaozhi will attack him, but now that Daming has opened up trade, he is not worried anymore. Big thick legs.

It was night, and Gan Wu's night was unusually hot.

King Varman XI smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Zhujiang County, in order to entertain all the distinguished guests, I have prepared some special items for you, and you will come to your door when you get to your sleeping place."

"No, we're used to living on boats."

Zhu Zhanchang politely declined King Varman XI, and Cao Xinyue saw him with more appreciation.

At least in front of outsiders, he is upright, although he will tease himself.

The others sighed bitterly, but thinking that there will be more opportunities to come here in the future, they can't be so eager for quick success and greed for money in front of the Prince of Zhujiang County. On the bright side, everyone is a gentleman.

I didn’t plan to stay in Ganwu any longer. After only three days, the accompanying businessmen talked about some business. Some of them should have had business contacts, but at this time they had to pretend they didn’t know each other and stopped training. They are acting.

King Varman XI was very happy. As long as merchant ships came and went in the port, he could make a lot of money while lying down and collecting merchant taxes. Why not do it?

He has been following Zhu Zhanchang, and of course, from time to time, he speaks ill of the King of Siam.

"Tamaraja (du) III (King of Siam) used to be a monk."

"Afterwards, I married several wives, which is really disrespectful to the Buddha, and embarrassed to death."

"He also took a fancy to his son's wife. She's not a human being. It's better for His Highness to stay away from him."

"What is a good thing for someone who even has an idea for his son's wife?"

"The fruit of Siam is not as sweet as ours."

"We are Daming's loyal partners. If Your Highness asks me to send troops to Jiaozhi, I will prepare immediately. Even though we are not many, maybe only a few hundred troops. Your Highness, don't dislike it."

Anyway, a lot of bad words instilled the concept of Siamese in Zhu Zhanchang, and Zhu Zhanchang was tired listening to it.

Three days later, they went to Siam, and King Varman XI personally sent them to the port.

The messenger had already gone to Siam to report, and the two countries were extremely close, and on the way, they encountered a fleet that was personally greeted by the King of Siam.

The King of Siam still felt that his fleet was strong, but in the face of the flying Henanren, he died.

After that, there will be a saying in Southeast Asian countries.

It was a sigh in a foreign accent: "Henan people are really fierce."

　Henan people are really fierce
