Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 745: Resurrection of the Nation
It's just a vast ocean, and occasionally passing through a few desert islands is really not much to say.

Hawaii, the only big island worth stopping on the entire route, is still far away.

The route is boring.

But there are daily rituals that are essential.

The faith of the God-Emperor spreads freely, so it is not surprising that the shamans of the Old Black Flag converted. Among the crew of the advance fleet this time were two young shamans selected from the many shamans in the old forest.

The shaman dances a piece every day, which can not only pray for blessings, but also relieve boredom by dancing along. Otherwise, he can only read novels or play cards.

The reason for bringing a shaman is simple.

The ones you encounter the most along the way may be primitive tribes.

In addition to crew members who can speak Spanish and Latin, the fleet cannot guarantee that it will quickly find Spanish speakers wherever it goes.

The communication between primitive shamans originally included divine communication.

If there is a language barrier, then let the shamans try to communicate in their own way. At least human beings' awe of the unknown and faith will most likely ensure that the two parties will not start a fight during the first meeting.

The difference in human languages ​​is indeed a big problem for two countries or forces to establish diplomacy.

The dialogue between Brunei, or Bo Ni, and the Nanyang Navy fleet led by Wang Chengen is a big problem.

A temporary translation requires the consultation of three or even several people before a relatively complete and accurately conveyed Chinese sentence can be translated.

Fortunately, Sultan Muhammad Ali of the Bo Ni Kingdom was humble enough, and Wang Chengen was also very patient, so the conversation seemed harmonious.

The three grandsons who had just been admitted from the Sulu Sultanate were very proficient in the trick of pretending to be powerful, and showing off their power became a part of the translation.

The purpose of Wang Chengen's trip is simple.

Let the grandson make the decision, and let Brunei become a tributary state of the Ming Dynasty again, replenishing the tribute that had been interrupted for more than a hundred years, and at the same time let the Balni Kingdom join the pursuit of Spain, allowing the Ming Dynasty to completely control Luzon.

And his arrival made Muhammad Ali very happy.

I was so happy that I almost shed tears.

So what is the situation in Brunei and Bo Ni at this time?

It is being bullied in turn by Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Among them, Spain beat him the hardest.

In 1578, the Spanish colonists in Luzon launched the "Expedition to Borneo" and only used [-] soldiers to reach Tabatu, the capital of Brunei.

This is not just wandering around the foot of the capital city.

It was the Sultan of Brunei who saw that the capital could not withstand Western artillery, and the artillery and guns they learned from Islamic countries were no match for the artillery on the other side, so he finally chose to abandon the capital and flee with the people.

The Spaniards entered the city, looted and burned the Great Mosque, and then left.

Afterwards, this group of Spanish expeditionary forces robbed Brunei for more than two months. They felt that they had almost robbed it, so they evacuated by boat when the Sultan of Brunei led his troops to harass.

After a massacre, very few Spanish soldiers died because of the war, and more died of disease.

After crying for a while, Wang Chengen felt that it was not a problem for Brunei to join the ranks of people fighting against Spain.

I didn’t expect that the King of Brunei still has a good job.

Isn’t it true that the Sulu Kingdom treats relatives as grandsons?

When King Muhammad Ali of Brunei went to the harbor to greet the Chinese envoy and saw the giant ship Pingyuan and the Nanyang Navy entrenched on the sea, he felt that he could also be a good grandson.

And the innate conditions are better than those in Sulu.

Not only Brunei had also received awards from the Ming Empire, he also dug out his family tree.

"Are you a descendant of the Ming Dynasty? Are you an overseas survivor?"

Wang Chengen is a good student of history and did not expect this to happen, but the King of Brunei explained it eloquently.

It turns out that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos.At that time, it was said that a man named Huang Senping from Quanzhou, Fujian Province served as the chief military officer under the Ming army. Perhaps because of his outstanding achievements in suppressing bandits and resisting Japanese invaders at Senping Beach in the South China Sea, he was appointed by the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang as an envoy to Borneo, so he crossed the sea and set off. Nanyang.

Or it may be said that because he was responsible for escorting the grain that was overdue, he fled to Southeast Asia with his sister and soldiers out of fear of sin, and landed in Brunei.

Because some of his troops were in a shipwreck when they landed in Brunei, and some had their arms broken, the place where they landed was called "Zhi Na Batangan River" by the local indigenous people, which means "the river where the Chinese broke their hands."

After landing, Huang Senping built a city and cracked the earth, claiming to be king.

At that time, the Balni Kingdom had not yet controlled the entire Brunei. It was just a small country. Unable to withstand the harassment and oppression of the Sulu Kingdom, the Balni King Mahmosa asked Huang Senping for help and married his daughter to Huang Senping, naming her Manaraja. That'.

The general meaning is 'One word side by side king'.

The king's younger brother married Huang Senping's sister.

The two in-laws united to repel the Sulu Kingdom.

Afterwards, Huang Senping returned to the Ming Dynasty and sought a reward from the Ming Dynasty in the name of the King of Balni. With Huang Senping's assistance and regular contact with the Ming Dynasty, the Balni Kingdom grew rapidly and eventually unified the entire Brunei Island and controlled part of Luzon. land.

In the end, the branch of King Mahomosa of Bo Ni failed to hold the throne.

It fell into the hands of his younger brother.

His brother's son also naturally took the position, and this son was born to Huang Senping's sister.

For hundreds of years, the throne has remained with this branch and has never changed.

After the narration, the King of Brunei had a look of satisfaction on his face and glanced at the three Sulu princes.

This is what we call Genzheng Miaohong.

Compare with us.

Unless you can dig out someone with the blood of the royal family of the Ming Empire.

Thinking about it, the king of Brunei had the idea of ​​​​promising Wang Chengen directly and recognizing him as his godfather.

Based on the descriptions of the power and wealth of this great eunuch by the Chinese businessmen in Brunei, as well as his fleet that can be called a maritime city, it is impossible to suffer a loss!
"No, no, no, I can't bear it right now."

Wang Chengen noticed it and hurriedly stopped him in advance.

The King of Brunei, who kowtowed halfway, suddenly became a little frustrated.

This thigh is not easy to hold.

Sulu needs its thighs, and Brunei needs its thighs even more.

Compared to Europe, Brunei is closer and was invaded by Spain and other Europeans earlier. Even though his country is still there, the entire country is riddled with holes.

Not to mention that many vassals and forces surrendered to the Dutch or British, let's talk about the Spanish.

Now he was just kneeling in front of a great eunuch from the Heavenly Kingdom.

Previously, he had surrendered to the Spanish Governor of Manila, knelt in front of the Spanish envoys, ceded land to the British, the Dutch and the Spanish to pay compensation. The vassals also left one by one. It can be said that the country is not a country.

Wang Chengen felt the taste.

It's just that he can't accept it for the time being.

Once again, the wealth plundered from Luzon was given to Emperor Longwu. The emperor was very satisfied. His desire for wealth and land, and his desire to transfer the imperial clan overseas was particularly strong.

So he sent more troops to Luzon.

When I was riding around on my concubines at night, they would either growl for more money, or they would tell me to get out of here.

Just leave him a Ming Dynasty with money and land!

However, Wang Chengen was still scolded by Emperor Longwu for taking in his grandson.
