Chapter 733
In a sense, the Ming Dynasty's activities in Luzon were still on its own territory. Although it was the rule hundreds of years ago, it was also the rule, the rule of law.

Acquaintances can be found in both north and south of Luzon.

That is to say, Spain has been under control for more than 100 years. All the large and small countries on the northern islands and archipelago have been wiped out. The descendants of the Governor of Luzon still exist today because the locals and Han people have protected them.

Otherwise, a few descendants of the king could come from the local area to meet the heavenly envoys.

If you don't want to meet acquaintances overseas, you have to travel a long way, otherwise the hidden cultural properties left behind by the Yongle period are everywhere, and it really means that the whole world is not the king's land.

The situation of Sulu Country is also very valuable.

They were able to fight against the Spaniards for hundreds of years, because the whole country was on a small island that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, their navigation skills were pretty good, otherwise they would not have been able to take a boat to the Ming Dynasty to collect rewards.

The islands they ruled were also relatively barren and of little value to the Spaniards.

But if we just don't deal with the Spaniards, the situation of this small country can still be seen.

But there is Brunei to the south.

Brunei is also eyeing Sulu and has already done it several times.

The Sulu Kingdom was attacked from two sides, and its situation became increasingly difficult. It was about to be destroyed. Suddenly, it was heard that the Ming Dynasty soldiers had directly penetrated the Spaniards. The three major powerful forces in the country, headed by the Sultan, suddenly remembered that they had fought with the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago. Dad has something to do with it!
I hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and even almost dug up the ancestral grave, and finally found two gold seals.

The Seal of the East King and the Seal of the West King.

Another one was melted by people in their clan in the early years. For this reason, many people in King Nadong's clan were hanged for a while.

At the beginning, the three main rulers of Sulu took hundreds of people to the Ming Dynasty for a walk. They were rewarded by Emperor Yongle and happily became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

One of them was unlucky and fell ill and died in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongle buried him with royal honors. One of his sons stayed to guard the tomb and took advantage of the situation to become a naturalized citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that times have changed, the descendants of those three kings still have the final say in Sulu.

Now, the three princes of the Sulu Kingdom were following Wang Chengen like filial sons and virtuous grandchildren, standing on the deck of the Pingyuan and overlooking the sea.

Maybe these princes were a little arrogant, but once they saw the Pingyuan, they lost all their stupid ideas.

Before coming here, I knew that Ming Dynasty was very strong.

But they didn't expect it to be so strong, stronger than they imagined.

"Mantab."

Hearing Wang Chengen's call, the prince named Mantab, who was also the first prince to hold the Sulu East King's seal to pay homage to Wang Chengen, hurriedly bent forward and said, "Grandpa, I'm here."

These three princes are working hard to learn Chinese, and they are learning this sentence the fastest right now.

If you want to be protected by Daming's father, you will naturally have to work hard for it.

The three of them spent money to get a lot of information, so they knew that as long as they made the prince in front of them happy, they would have everything.

Just by looking at this father-in-law sitting on the giant ship, one can tell that the rise and fall of the Sulu country depended on his thoughts.

So they spent some more money, and the three of them learned that the best and boldest way to get close to this father-in-law was to directly ask him to accept them as his grandsons.

The three of them dared to think and act, so they all asked to see him and bowed down.

Wang Chengen was still restrained in the Ming Dynasty, so naturally he would not be polite overseas.

"Let's talk about Brunei, the small country that you renamed as Bangni."

The translator passed the message, and the three princes, who were of different ages, but all looked like obedient grandsons, exchanged glances. Mantab, a bearded man who was a head taller than Wang Chengen but worked hard to grovel, spoke, and the other two Make supplements.

"Grandpa is right when he says Brunei. Brunei is a place name, and it was indeed named after Brunei more than a hundred years ago."

Afterwards, the three people described what they knew about Brunei.

There are nearly 2 residents in the capital, more than 500 warships in the country, and a number of European colonists, and the army is very powerful.
Wang Chengen didn't take it seriously, he just stroked the side of the Pingyuan and recalled: "All overseas countries are vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and Brunei is no exception. I vaguely remember that the king of this country died in his country, and before his death he actually sent a ship captain His body was sent to my Ming Dynasty for burial. He will die in my Ming Dynasty, but he is a smart man." After saying that, he looked at the three grandsons behind him who were all taller than him: "I am going to Fuzhou for supplies on this trip. You can also do it. See the splendor of the Celestial Dynasty. Since it is wartime, I will help you with the matter of obtaining the title. After you return, the affairs between your country and Brunei will definitely be in trouble when I arrive in a huge boat. Don’t have any second thoughts.”

Follow the prince of the overseas feudal country to the Ming Dynasty.

The pressure from the Ming Empire on the maritime world finally broke out.

As the Ming Dynasty's ships rushed to all directions, the Dutch East India Company and the Spanish colonists suffered defeats. For overseas countries, a strange but familiar shadow of empire cast a shadow and enveloped them.

This makes them have to consider whether the current actions of this empire will affect them one day in the future.

Sulu was forced to become wise in a critical situation.

But there are still really smart countries.

Such as Ryukyu.

After being rescued by the Black Flag Navy from the Satsuma Domain of the former Japanese kingdom, the King of Ryukyu regained control of the Ryukyu Islands and was very respectful to Black Flag and paid constant tribute. When Black Flag Wuerte came to power, his crown prince also went to the capital in person with gifts. witness.

But now Daming seems to be very strong.

And for the current circle of literati and gentry in Ryukyu, the Ming Dynasty should be the suzerain state of Ryukyu.

So the King of Ryukyu was very troubled.

Fortunately, it was Prince Wang who was the Chief Justice at the time who suggested it.

"In the past, the country of Ming Dynasty was in various situations. It surrendered to the Tatars and was not allowed to see Zhengzong. However, the country had to go all the way across the sea to serve the Ming Dynasty."

Quietly paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, he also paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

Wealth is in danger!
The King of Ryukyu was very moved by this bold idea.

In fact they were right.

Zhu Youjian and the Black Flag Navy really didn't have time to care about them.

On the one hand, they need to prepare to go to Tokyo, the four islands, to see off the advance fleet heading to America. The Black Flag Navy mostly travels around the four islands. After all, it is not easy to attack, and it needs heavy troops to intimidate Xiaoxiao.

On the other hand.

The Mongolian tribes in the Western Regions blocked the pass.

The Mongolian tribes headed by the Turpan Mongols came to Jiayuguan and started fighting with the Zhengbai Banner.

The news arrived in the capital in only three days via express and telegram.

Came several times one after another.

At first, Zhengbaiqi thought it was just ordinary bandits harassing him, so he didn't take it seriously and simply passed it on.

Then it was discovered that there were more and more thieves, and the city was gradually under siege. News came from surrounding areas that several troops bypassed Jiayuguan and headed directly to the pass.

When Zhu Youjian got the news, his first reaction was to shelve the idea of ​​going to the four islands.

But then I knew I couldn't give such a simple order.

The message from Zhengbai Banner did not mention the defense situation at the city gate, indicating that the enemy seemed to be surrounding but not attacking.

More information is needed.

"Proclaim Churos Galdan, the son of Yumu Agha of the Junggar Tribe!"
