Lai of Champa probably knew what Zhu Xuan wanted from coal mines and other minerals, which was to build ships and weapons.
They Annan couldn't resist what Ming did.
If they don't give it, Ming Dynasty may use force to seize it. It is better to give it away directly and get a salary from Ming Dynasty, which will greatly improve people's livelihood.
This is their best choice, and it is also the choice they most want to make when they see Annan become rich.
The two parties signed the contract readily and confirmed the subsequent cooperation relationship. Zhu Xuan took the technical staff to survey the locations of coal mines, oil and natural gas minerals.
He quickly determined the location based on his memory before traveling.
Zhu Xuan wants all the minerals in the Mekong Delta. This is the outlet to the sea, which facilitates the transportation of coal mines. There are also some rare metal minerals that can be used by then. He will confirm with Lai from Champa and come over together.
"How is the relationship between the king and Gan Bozhi?" Zhu Xuan asked Lai of Champa after confirming his position.
Kam Bo Chi is the Cambodia of the future.
This was the name given to them by the Yuan Dynasty. The current Ming Dynasty still uses this name. Later it was changed to Ganwuzhe, and it was called Cambodia after Wanli.
The origin of the title is the pronunciation of the language of this era and the local transliteration.
Today's Ganbozhi is in the Angkor Dynasty.
Lai of Champa shook his head and said: "We in Champa have only fought with Gan Bozhi. If we talk about relations, it is hostility."
But he was thinking, Ming Emperor Sun still wants to cooperate with Gan Bozhi?
Whoever Zhu Xuan wants to cooperate with, Champa's Lai can't stop him, he is just curious.
The relationship between Gan Bozhi and Champa was not good, so Champa's Lai had no choice but to help them connect.
Mei Yin said: "When is Xiao Yunxuan going to Ganbozhi?"
Zhu Xuan said: "Quick decision, let's do it tomorrow!"
Anyway, the Champa side has been decided, and Lai from Champa is very cooperative, so there won't be any big problems in the follow-up. Mei Yin can just arrange for people to move in when the time comes.
The manpower of their management is currently sufficient.
In more than a year, Guo Ze has trained many trustworthy and capable people, and has enough manpower to dispatch them.
Gan Bozhi's current Angkor dynasty was once the most powerful country in Southeast Asia.
But at this time, Angkor began to decline.
According to Zhu Xuan's memory, in more than twenty years, they will be invaded by Siam and have to flee to Phnom Penh and continue to exist in the name of the Phnom Penh Dynasty.
The king of the Angkor Dynasty was called Penghe Ayat.
When Zhu Xuan left for Ganbozhi, Mei Yin still sent someone to Ganbozhi in advance to deliver a message, telling Penghei Ayat that the grandson of the Ming Dynasty emperor was coming.
Penghei Ayat could only prepare to welcome Zhu Xuan's arrival.
Daming is very fierce now.
Annan was beaten into obedience. It was still a country in name, but in fact it had been annexed by the Ming Dynasty.
A pirate as strong as Chen Zuyi was also killed.
Their Angkor dynasty could not afford to offend the Ming Dynasty.
Although it was not as exaggerated as Lai of Champa who traveled ten miles from the city to greet him, he still had to go to greet him.
The mineral resources of Ganbozhi are not as rich as those of Annam and Champa.
Zhu Xuan has no use for some rare metals and silica sand.
There is coal in the country, but not much.
The quality is not enough either.
However, gold mines, gem mines, etc. have a certain attraction for Zhu Xuan.
Ganbozhi is right next to the Mekong River. Its location is very important. It is also within the scope of Zhu Xuan's early conquests. While mining, some industries can be transferred here.
Such as manufacturing, etc.
Penghei Ayat waited for a long time and finally saw Zhu Xuan and others appearing outside Angkor Thom.
"Grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor!"
Punghey Ayat's attitude did not have the enthusiasm of Champa's Rai.
Zhu Xuan didn't care about these details. After entering the city, they directly talked about cooperation.
Perhaps it was because Gan Bozhi was far away from Annan, and Penghe Ayat was not as enthusiastic about cooperation as Lai of Champa.
There is little interest in cooperation.
Finally, on the premise of not offending Zhu Xuan, Penghe Ayat said that he would think about it again and discuss it with domestic ministers before giving Zhu Xuan the answer.
This is almost a rejection.
Zhu Xuan didn't care about this.
Let them discuss it.
Zhu Xuan stayed not long in Ganbochi and went directly to the Kingdom of Lancang, which was the future Laos.
In the next half month, Zhu Xuan not only visited the Kingdom of Lancang, but also went to Burma, Siam, and by the way, Managaha.
In the end, only Champa, the Kingdom of Lancang and Manlajia were able to reach cooperation.
Others said they wanted to consider it, but they didn't dare to offend Ming, so they declined on the grounds of consideration.
As for Manlajia, Yue Changxing had contact with them in advance. He had already thought about cooperation and signed the contract easily. The Lancang Kingdom is next to Nan'an. He has seen Annan's current prosperity, so of course he is willing to cooperate.
After this trip, Zhu Xuan returned to Thanh Hoa.
"Xiao Yunxuan, what should we do with the remaining three countries?"
Mei Yin thought for a while and said: "According to our plan, in order to enter and leave the Lancang River smoothly and safely, we must make them all submit or agree to cooperate. We can't do that now."
At this time, the Mekong River was still called Lancang River in the Ming Dynasty.
They don't agree to cooperate, which is indeed a bit troublesome.
Most importantly, Siam and Burma are richer in mineral resources.
It would be a pity for Zhu Xuan if he couldn't get it. If he didn't cooperate, he would not be able to achieve the purpose of controlling them.
"I'll think of another way."
Zhu Xuan was thinking, if it doesn't work, just call him.
But when he was considering mobilizing troops, he thought of the troubles Mu Sheng had mentioned before.
It's a bit tricky.
Zhu Xuan said: "There should be a way!"
——
at this time.
King Narota of Burma, King Selutai of Siam, and King Penghei Ayat of Kambozhi gathered in Bangkok to discuss Zhu Xuan's affairs.
They discovered that Zhu Xuan had visited all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula.
A little suspicious of Zhu Xuan's intentions, they gathered together to study what Zhu Xuan actually wanted to do.
Ponhei Ayat first said: "Does he really just want to mine in our country?"
They Gan Bozhi actually don’t have many minerals.
He knew this, so he was a little suspicious.
Selutai said: "But the Ming Dynasty emperor and grandson cooperated with us, and it seems that they are really mining. They have dug a lot in Annan, and are also preparing to dig in Champa and Lancang Kingdom. It doesn't seem to be fake."
Narota said: "The mine is in our country. Instead of letting him dig it, why not do it ourselves, dig it out, and then sell it to him? If he really wants the mine, he will definitely buy it and sell it at a good price." s price."
They knew that Zhu Xuan wanted coal and iron.
Digging coal and iron ore is not a difficult task in their opinion.
"Narlotta is right."
Selutai nodded and said: "It's all about mining anyway. It's better to earn Daming's money by ourselves. There's no need to hand it over to Daming for mining. We can still make more money."
This plan was approved by them at the same time.
He decided to bypass Zhu Xuan, dig the mines himself, and then sell the mines to Zhu Xuan.
The idea is very beautiful.
