Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 51 The strategy remains unchanged, attack Nanyang first

All night long, Nephillili seemed a little clingy.

It seemed that he didn't want to be separated from Zhu Xi for a moment.

But Zhu Qing can twist it clear.

It was the first time the two met. Neferli Lili acted like a lover she hadn't seen for many years. It's not that there is no such possibility, but is it really possible?
Zhu Xi didn't believe it.

His attitude is still more about coping.

Business is business.

We can have a good talk.

However, it is too early to talk about feelings now.

When the sky was dark, Zhu Xi was about to send Nephili Lily away.

After all, she is a queen.

It wouldn't be good if someone saw it.

But Neferlili was reluctant to leave. When she was leaving, she remembered and asked: "Your Highness, King Qin, do you still want to continue negotiating with the Mamluks?"

"talk!"

Zhu Xi said: "It's not time to alert the enemy yet. The agreement between us is only between us and does not affect my continued negotiations with Farage. Not only do we have to negotiate, but we may also pay Farage more." money."

"why?"

Nephillili was puzzled: "Wouldn't giving them more money allow them to buy better armor and weapons?"

"Buy peace!"

Zhu Xi held her in his arms and said, "I want to buy peace for you and King Said. Only in this way will they think that the king has no choice but to pay them more money. If this At that time, if I behaved tougher, then Faraj might have guessed that I had contacted you. Because legally, this land actually belongs to Said, at least Said has this title."

"It turns out that Your Highness is always thinking about me."

Nephili Lily was very happy, and took the initiative to kiss Zhu Xi on the cheek, and then left.

Zhu Xi fell asleep again.

He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

The canal has been opened.

All that was left was to negotiate with the Mamluks.

After completing these, Zhu Xi can go back.

It is now late September, less than a month away from Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday. Although when Zhu Yuanzhang was sent to Lingnan, Zhu Yuanzhang said that Zhu Yuanzhang was not allowed to return to Beijing without his order.

However, the old man was celebrating his birthday. If an edict came, it would be Zhu Ping's fault if he couldn't make it back.

Of course, Zhu Xi couldn't make such an excuse.

He has to go back.

Therefore, the negotiation at noon today was much smoother than the first time.

On the one hand, the Mamluks did not refuse to let go, and seemed to be afraid of starting a war with the Ming Dynasty. In this atmosphere, the two sides finally reached an agreement to transfer half of the water source territory of the Das Mountains, including the Das Mountains and Zhenxi City The connections between them were all sold to Ming Dynasty.

However, Farage’s request was three times the price previously offered by Luo Hang.

30 million taels of gold!

And Farage also said that not a single point should be missed.

Otherwise, he would rather start a war!
Now that it was all said and done, Luo Hang had no choice but to let Zhu Xi make the final decision.

Zhu Xi stood up, stretched out his hand and said to Farage: "Happy cooperation, King Farage! I believe that I, the Ming Dynasty, will be willing to pay these 30 taels of gold, but it must be delivered in ten months, with 3 taels of gold delivered each month. Ten thousand taels of gold. In addition, I hope to continue our friendly cooperation with King Faraj!"

Farage stretched out his hand, patted Zhu Ping's hand, and then performed a unique etiquette to Zhu Ping, and said happily: "There is no problem at all, His Highness King Qin from the Ming Dynasty, as long as you are willing to pay, we can do any business." It’s okay to talk.”

"My king has prepared a dinner. I heard that King Misier is also here. We just happen to sign a contract together. King Faraj invites you!" Zhu Ping politely extended his hand, and then the two of them came to the venue side by side.Soon, Said and Neferlili came too.

The signing ceremony of the land sale was successfully completed in a harmonious background, and then came the banquet. During the conversation, Faraji and Zhu Xi asked: "His Royal Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, when do you plan to return to the country? When I arrive, Come and see His Highness off."

"I will return to my country tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for my father's birthday."

Zhu Xi responded.

Over there, Nephili Lily's eyes suddenly dimmed after hearing Zhu Xiang's words.

Then she stood up and asked loudly and deliberately: "Where is the toilet?"

Then, he looked straight at Zhu Xi.

Soon the maid came forward.

Zhu Ping didn't move.

After a while, Zhu Xi stood up.

So, in a deserted side hall, the slaves and maids made an agreement with King Said and stayed here to serve His Highness until... they became pregnant with His Highness's child! "

"Something happened in the country, I have to rush back."

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "Besides, having a child depends on fate. Maybe you have one now, or maybe I won't be able to stay here until next year. Who can say clearly?"

After some comfort, Nephillili went back first.

After the banquet, everyone left one after another.

The next day, Zhu Ping just took his personal guards and the fleet back.

Luo Hang wants to stay here, start handing over the land, and pay gold at the same time.

In addition, now that the canal is open, the fleet can continue traveling westward.

Luo Hang still has a lot to do.

Fortunately, there are many talents on his side to help.

Russell Zhen and Russell Jing still followed Zhu Ping, and the journey was pleasant. However, when they passed Malacca, a large sailboat suddenly appeared on the sea with a pirate flag hanging on it.

Zhu Xi was slightly startled.

The pattern on the flag is somewhat familiar.

However, it is still somewhat different from the skull patterns commonly used by pirates in later generations, but the gap is not big.

Zhu Xi thought that he had opened the age of navigation ahead of schedule, so pirates were conceived and born ahead of time. Then he ordered the cannon to be fired unceremoniously. The sailboat was hit and then flew away.

"Don't chase!"

Zhu Xi did not pursue him and continued sailing.

All the way to Brunei, he met Huang Senping. Zhu Ping told him about the incident and told him: "Pay attention to the ships coming and going here. If you find those pirates again, find a way to arrest them. I want to take a look." , who is so bold that he even dares to attack my ship of the Ming Dynasty!"

Huang Senping naturally obeyed the order.

Now he has become a king.

However, it seemed that he, the king, was not very happy at all. On the contrary, he seemed much tired after not seeing each other for a while. Zhu Fang said: "It seems that you are still suitable for working hard at sea!"

"Your Highness has a keen eye." Huang Senping smiled apologetically.

Zhu Ping said to him before leaving: "Don't worry, talents and soldiers will soon come to help you stabilize the country. When the time comes, just take my soldiers from the Ming Dynasty and start a war with Srivijaya!"

Although the situation on Misier's side changed, Zhu Ping still did not change his direct decision.

Go ahead and conquer Nanyang first!

After all, this is the doorstep of home.
