My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 107 Reincarnation of Fate!
"Report, the East has discovered that 2000 people are gathering at the port!"

"Report, some ships have been found in the western waters, and their identities are temporarily unknown."

"Report, the port guards of the State of Ceylon are gathering."

A famous observer kept running and reported the initial discovery loudly.

On the flagship of the Sun Moon, Zhu Gaoyu sat quietly on the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his fingers tapped the armrest of the chair rhythmically.

Zhu Gaoyu did not personally command the battle, nor did he go to the front line to fight in person like before.

The reason is also very simple, he personally fought against the enemy in the Japanese country, and was severely scolded by his father when he returned home.

That's hard to say.

Is there no one under you?

Did my Ming Dynasty have no generals?

When is it the turn of a prince to come to the front line to fight in person?

If you like to be a pioneer, fine, then don't go back to the south, go to the north with Laozi, and fight for Laozi himself.

For the old man's reprimand, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help but slander him.

This old man still has the face to talk about him, but he has heard more than once that this old man likes to go to the front line every time he fights, and even leads the troops into the battle more than once.

It turned out that he couldn't do it here. Obviously, only the state officials were allowed to set fires, and the common people were not allowed to light lamps.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't know that what the old man said were words that Empress Xu often reprimanded him.

The old man who was always being scolded on weekdays finally had a good time today.

Zhu Gaoyu mistakenly thought that this was the old man's concern for him, so he set a rule for himself.

In the future, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will never go to the front line to command the battle in person, so as to give my subordinates more opportunities to perform.

"Command: All battleships begin to load their artillery, waiting for the flagship to fire."

"Decree: The wharf combat troops are ready to go to war. Once the gunfire sounds, all future enemies must be wiped out."

Once at sea, Wang Jin, who took over all the command, looked at the distant pier and calmly issued combat orders one by one.

Jiang Yue was recommended by him. Two years ago, Zhu Gaoyu did not directly designate Jiang Yue as the king of Ceylon. He just said something at that time, wanting to see his understanding.

Jiang Yue didn't react at first, it was he who reminded him that the other party had achieved today's achievement.

Now the person I mentioned earlier has actually betrayed His Highness, which made Lao Wang feel a little uncomfortable.

He recruited many people in the navy, and he always thought he had a good eye for people.

As a result, it was slapped in the face.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoyu didn't blame him this time because of his past achievements, but he still gave him a certain punishment, no salary for one year.

For Lao Wang, punishing salary is a trivial matter, but losing face is a major matter.

In order not to be seen as a joke in the future, he must get back his face.

Old Wang secretly swore in his heart, Jiang Yue, this little bastard, he must lick the opponent's skin alive.

"Report, the enemy has assembled 6000 soldiers and horses outside the pier, but they are not within the range of the artillery."

"Report, the other party has sent a messenger to negotiate with His Highness."

Zhu Gaoyu opened his eyes, looked at Wang Jin who was coming over to ask for instructions, and said flatly: "A traitor who doesn't even have a king name is not qualified to see me."

Wang Jin understood in an instant, turned to the messenger and said, "Let him go, go back and let him tell Jiang Yue, this little bastard, now that he reined in the precipice, he could still survive, otherwise if the two armies go to war, he will be beheaded." The lightest punishment."

"Yes!"

The messenger responded, and turned around to send the messenger immediately.

After a while, Jiang Yue received the letter. Hearing the words from the messenger, there was no expression on his face.

He originally thought about giving Zhu Gaoyu one last chance, as long as the other party recognized his identity, he would immediately withdraw his troops and continue to maintain the vassal relationship with Daming.

It's a pity that my kindness was rejected.

"Command: March."

"Just defeat the troops stationed in their port, and don't approach their warships."

Jiang Yue knew that his strength was limited, and his army was not capable of dealing with Ming's warships.

So he decided to only attack the army on land to show his strength.

It would be fine if the Deming Fleet left just like that, but if they didn't leave, they would be wasting themselves with Deming.

I have sufficient resources on land, and the other party didn't even add logistics when they arrived yesterday. With so many people, it's up to who can hold it first.

Thinking of Daming's embarrassment because he ran out of food and water and had no choice but to retreat, Jiang Yue's mouth curled into a smile.

But his smile didn't last long before it gradually cooled down.

He gave the order just now, but there was no movement behind him.

Jiang Yue turned his head to look with cold eyes. He promoted several generals and looked at him expressionlessly, not intending to carry out the order at all.

"Bastard, didn't you hear my order?"

Good guy, it's really shameless, a small country, even I have claimed it.

If the old man finds out about this, he doesn't know if he will change his name.

"heard it."

The general appointed by Jiang Yue replied calmly.

"Then why don't you carry out the order, do you want to rebel!"

Hearing this, the general couldn't help but burst out laughing, and looked at Jiang Yue sarcastically.

"Which of us rebelled, don't you know?"

"My dear His Majesty the King, can you tell me where did you get the courage to go to war with Daming?"

"Ariel's lesson from the past, isn't it enough?"

"Haven't we died enough?"

"Our country of Ceylon can no longer stand such a toss."

"And you probably don't know yet."

The general pointed to the fleet on the sea in the distance, and said angrily: "Not long ago, His Royal Highness, King Yue, ordered the destruction of a country."

"With tens of 10 people in a country, none of them were killed. The reason is that their king had the guts to attack Daming's camp."

"Excuse me, what do you want to do?"

"That country just attacked a Daming camp and was wiped out, and you are going to attack the fleet of Daming today and betray His Royal Highness the King of Yue. Do you know what will happen to the entire Ceylon Congress if you fail?"

"I will not fail!"

Jiang Yue replied coldly.

Although his face was full of anger, he was a little flustered in his heart.

He really didn't know about the Ming Dynasty's destruction of a country, and no one told him about it.

If he knew all this, he might choose to forbear for a while, and look for an opportunity to raise the matter of separation.

It's a pity that it's useless to know now, I have already taken this step, and there is only one way to go to the dark.

Jiang Yue looked coldly at the motionless generals, and threatened, "Don't you think that if you don't do something, Ming people won't punish you?"

"I tell you, you are wrong."

"The moment you followed me here, in the eyes of the Ming people, you were already traitors."

Hearing Jiang Yue's threat, the general laughed again.

"Who said we came here to rebel with you, we came to arrest the rebels under the order of Daming."

"I just saw you coming to the pier and thought you were surrendering yourself, so I followed you. If we knew you were a rebel, we would have taken you directly."

"So don't implicate us all in it. We, Ceylon, are not the same as you."

After speaking, the general raised his hand and waved.

"Bring this traitor who rebelled against the kingdom to this general."

"Crash..."

In an instant, the soldiers of Ceylon who were standing by behind moved together and surrounded Jiang Yue and the palace guards beside him.

"Very good... very good!"

Looking around at the soldiers who surrounded him, Jiang Yue smiled angrily, and at the same time felt a little sad in his heart.

He helped Ceylon to rejuvenate, and will lead them to rule the entire Asan region in the future.

But these Ceyloners were not only ungrateful, but even repaid their kindness.

What a bunch of white-eyed wolves, who blinded him, were busy day and night for the rise of Ceylon.

If I had known that these white-eyed wolves were like this, I should have given priority to enjoyment and exploited these native savages severely.

"Take down the traitor."

The general didn't even look at Jiang Yue, and directly ordered the soldiers to do it.

"Want to take me to claim merit, dreaming!"

Never did Jiang Yue not understand what the other party was thinking.

The general did this because he was really afraid of Daming, and he wanted to use his head to become the new king of Ceylon.

Jiang Yue couldn't help laughing in his heart. Two years ago he became king with someone else's head, but today his head has become a stepping stone for someone else to ascend to the throne.

What a turn of events!

Jiang Yue smiled desolately, pulled out the sword at his waist, swung it violently and roared, "Kill!"

The guards who followed him were all his relatives.

In the past two years, I have enjoyed so much glory and wealth with myself.

If these people want to keep going, they have to fight themselves out.

Following Jiang Yue's order, the guards around him rushed forward with roars, and collided with the soldiers, trying to fight a bloody path for him.

It's a pity that they were just ordinary people in the past, and they didn't have much combat power. In the past two years, they have been enjoying themselves again, and they have never learned the art of fighting at all.

Even if you wear armor, you can ignore a part of your defense, but you will eventually be difficult to fight against dozens of times the number of enemies.

After a violent collision, the last bodyguard was shot through the door and fell down in hatred.

clap la la...

The Ceylon soldiers stepped over the corpse, surrounded Jiang Yue again, and looked at Jiang Yue greedily.

If the general hadn't told him to hand over the living Jiang Yue to Daming, many soldiers would have stabbed this guy into a blood gourd long ago in order to grab credit.

Jiang Yue's eyes were filled with madness as he looked around at the spears that were almost poking into his face.

Just a moment ago, he was still a high-ranking king, but in the blink of an eye, he was a downcast prisoner.

"Jiang Yue, surrender, as long as you surrender, I can plead with Daming for you and save your whole body."

The general came up on his horse, looking contemptuously at Jiang Yue who was surrounded by soldiers.

"you?"

Jiang Yue sneered with disdain, "A mere barbarian deserves to speak for me."

"The whole body, hahaha..."

Jiang Yue looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "I betrayed the lord, which is a serious crime against the nine clans."

"My whole family and nine clans will die without a place to bury them. What's the use of my whole body?"

After all, Jiang Yue put the sword around his neck and looked at the angry general.

"If you want to exchange my life for credit, you are not qualified."

After speaking, wipe it hard.

Kneeling weakly on the ground, blood spurted from the mouth and cut throat.

Looking at the sea in the distance, the huge warship in the distance, and the flying Mingzi battle flag, a flash of remorse flashed in Jiang Yue's eyes, and he fell heavily on the ground.

"Asshole! Why don't you stop it, what's the use of a dead person."

Looking at Jiang Yue who committed suicide, the general angrily raised his whip and whipped the soldiers around him.

The soldiers were also wronged.

They knew that Jiang Yue was going to commit suicide, but the problem was that his sword was already on his neck, what would they use to stop him, could they just stab him with a gun to prevent him from committing suicide?
The Ming army soon received the news, and when they saw Jiang Yue's body, Zhu Gaoyu gave the order to lift the guard.

Regarding the general of the Ceylon Kingdom, pleading guilty in name was actually an act of pleading for merit. Zhu Gaoyu just said a few words casually, and then dismissed him.

Zhu Gaoyu's next plan is to expand trade to the west.

Southeast Asia seems to be a place with many countries, but most of them are poor, and every transaction is barter.

Items such as ivory, gemstones, and sunken wood are indeed valuable, but they can't be eaten as food.

There are only so many rich people in Ming Dynasty, and there are only so many regular customers for these precious items, and they cannot come to buy them every day.

Although there are spice items, with the opening of ocean trade, the prices of these items that were once more expensive than gold began to slowly drop, and there will be no such huge profits at the beginning.

Considering the future plan, Zhu Gaoyu intends to hand over the area of ​​Southeast Asia to those sea merchants.

And he led the official trade fleet to develop to the west and carry out greater trade.

The east and the west came into contact with each other through maritime trade, and those westerners would definitely be curious about the existence of the east.

Seeing that the silk tea and other items brought by Daming brought huge benefits, driven by the interests, he will definitely go to Daming to explore and trade.

The area of ​​Ceylon will surely become an important port route between the East and the West in the future.

The tax collected every year is astronomical, so naturally Zhu Gaoyu will not hand over such an important place to others.

Here and Malacca will become heavily guarded control areas in the future.

After the alert was lifted, Zhu Gaoyu ordered Jiang Yue's relatives to be arrested and sent troops to guard each area.

And it is required that the country of Ceylon cannot station a single force in important ports such as docks.

In order to flatter Daming and become the next King of Ceylon, no matter what Zhu Gaoyu asked, the general gritted his teeth and agreed.

After the important positions of the entire Ceylon country were stationed by the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoyu called together people from all walks of life in the Ceylon country headed by the general, and announced that the regime of the Ceylon country was officially lifted, and that the Ming Dynasty would take over the management of the entire country.

The general, who was only dreaming of becoming a king, naturally refused to accept it, but when his subordinates ran over and told him that the army had been disarmed by Da Ming, and all of them were under control, he collapsed on the ground in a decadent state.

The general knew that Daming was terrified and did not dare to resist, so he chose to compromise and admit it.

However, some people didn't know the power of it. After learning that their rights had been lifted, they directly incited the people to make trouble, trying to let Da Ming know that without their control, Ceylon would definitely be in chaos.

However, they were too naive.

When the chaos started, Zhu Gaoyu was still worried that they would not dare to make a mess, so there was no reason to start.

As part of the city launched a rebellion, the troops that had been on standby for a long time rushed directly to a bloody suppression.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't just choose violence as a means.

It also strictly implemented the method of killing a group, pulling a group, and fighting a group. It took nearly a month to temporarily control the former area of ​​Ceylon.

The general, who rebelled before the battle, was supported as the administrator of the Southwest Region, and he cooperated with the left-behind troops of the Ming Dynasty to manage the entire Ceylon region.

Due to the need to catch up with the monsoon, Zhu Gaoyu could not stay here for a long time. When the summer monsoon came, he left Wu Shan, a capable general, and continued to set off northwestward with the main fleet.

Without the drag of merchant ships, the speed of the fleet finally increased.

"Your Highness, we didn't bring so many supply ships. What if we don't find a dock and we run out of food and water?"

As the fleet set off, a worried Wang Jin found Zhu Gaoyu.

In order to speed up, Zhu Gaoyu set off this time, not only did he not bring a merchant ship, he didn't even bring a smaller supply ship.

This made Wang Jin, who had sailed on the water for most of his life, a little worried, but he knew the difficulty of running out of supplies at sea.

When he first set off, he raised this question.

To this, Zhu Gaoyu just replied, if you are not hungry, he directly ordered the fleet to set off.

With Zhu Gaoyu in his presence, the people in the fleet would be hungry.

That is to keep a low profile, otherwise the whole ship would be exhausted by eating vegetables and fruits every day.

"Give!"

Seeing Wang Jin coming again, Zhu Gaoyu shook his head helplessly, took out a fresh pear, and handed it to Wang Jin.

"Forehead!"

Wang Jin was a little confused.

As the commander of the fleet, he knows best what supplies are available, and he can be sure that most of the purchases for this trip are soybeans, and there seems to be no pears at all.

"What's wrong? If you don't like it, change it."

Seeing that the guy didn't pick it up, Zhu Gaoyu threw the pear to the maid next to him, took out a claw of banana and handed it to Wang Jin.

Looking at the very full and very large banana in his hand, Wang Jin was completely trapped in place.

"Oh, by the way, this is also for you, take it and eat."

Before he could recover, Zhu Gaoyu took out a watermelon bigger than his head from his sleeve and put it in Wang Jin's arms.

Looking at the big sleeve that took out the watermelon just now, Wang Jin had the urge to poke his head in to see what else was inside.

He couldn't figure out where His Royal Highness put these fruits. Juggling wasn't so outrageous.

"Any thing else?"

In Wang Jin's bewildered expression, Zhu Gaoyu took out a handful of winter jujubes from the sleeve, and asked suspiciously while chewing on them.

"I may not have woken up, I'm a little confused, I'll go back to sleep for a while!"

Wang Jin stared blankly at Zhu Gaoyu for a long time, hugged the watermelon and the banana in his arms, turned and left while muttering.

Zhu Gaoyu shook his head with a smile, and stuffed the jujube in his hand to the curious maid beside him, picked up the fishing rod beside him, and continued to fish.
