This night, under a bright moon, Hanyu clarified.
Huang Senping looked at the full moon, his heart filled with thoughts.
Huang Yuanli saw her brother lonely and meditating, so she comforted her: "Some ministers surrendered to us, and Temangon's power has been weakened. What else is brother worried about?"
Huang Senping raised his finger and pointed at the moon: "Do you still remember what festival today is?"
Huang Yuanli knew it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is a festival that Han people will never forget. However, the current situation is not suitable for celebration, and it is difficult for family members to reunite in different parts of the town.
Huang Senping sighed and turned to look at Huang Yuanli: "I am already old. I may not have a few years left, but I still have one thing on my mind."
Huang Yuanli became anxious and said quickly: "What did my brother say? The fortune teller said that you have a hundred years to live, and you are not yet seventy, so how can you think wildly."
Huang Senping chuckled.
The fortune teller took the money and said good things, but the fate is not decided by the fortune teller, but by God.
Huang Senping said on crutches: "Huang Kesun went to the capital of Ming Dynasty at the end of last year. When he came back in mid-January, he talked about the destruction of Da Liuqiu, and then he occupied Xiao Liuqiu. Yes. What do you think about these things?”
Huang Yuanli was a little worried: "The Ming Dynasty is expanding, and their navy is invincible."
Huang Senping waved his hand and said seriously: "You have seen too little. You have forgotten that the time when the Ming Navy returned to the capital from Ryukyu was in winter. The northwest wind blows in winter, and they want to fight against the wind and the current from Ryukyu. It was not easy to return to the capital, but they did it. Huang Kesun also said that the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a kind of ship that no longer had to wait for the wind to come, but could go south or north at any time."
Huang Yuanli thought for a while and asked softly: "Is that the steam engine ship that brother is talking about?"
"That's right."
Huang Senping nodded solemnly and said seriously: "The Ming Dynasty is not only expanding, they are also widening the gap with all countries. The Ming Navy, which was already the overlord in Nanyang, is now further strengthened. Sister, in this world No country can compete with it."
Huang Yuanli looked grim. The Ming Dynasty has indeed developed too fast over the years. It has been less than ten years since Zheng He first came to Nanyang, but the influence of the Ming Dynasty has far exceeded the Hongwu period and the Yuan Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty’s edicts and documents were something that no Southeast Asian country could ignore.
Surrender, just surrender.
There is no country in Southeast Asia that has not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute and trading with each other every year.
Huang Senping took two steps, stopped and said, "Are you happy that the Ming Dynasty is strong, or are you afraid?"
Huang Yuanli looked at her brother in confusion. She didn't understand why she asked such a question, but she still replied honestly: "I'm still a little uneasy. We are deserters after all. How can we not be afraid of the court."
Huang Senping laughed loudly and suddenly coughed again. Huang Yuanli stepped forward and slapped Huang Senping on the back: "I'm not wrong. What are you kidding about? You led the troops to betray the Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, this is a fact." After Huang Senping regained his breath, he continued: "But Emperor Jianwen is different. In the past eight years, the Ming Dynasty has been prosperous and the people are peaceful. I heard that some victims of the disaster have entered the capital and received excellent resettlement. This young emperor is different from Emperor Hongwu in that his methods, strategies and courage are soft yet strong, and there is an edge hidden in the hardness."
Huang Yuanli didn't understand why her brother started to praise Emperor Jianwen. Although this guy was good, the "friendship" between him and the Balni Kingdom was just a "friendship" that they met once a year, and at best there was some private trade.
Huang Senping continued to talk: "The Western Regions have returned, and the Ming Dynasty has shown the style of the strong Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. The Oara and Tatars have also disappeared. I heard that they are raising sheep in exchange for more trade goods from the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has no enemies, no more , As long as the Ming Dynasty is stable for another ten or eight years, unimaginable prosperity will appear."
Huang Yuanli nodded in agreement.
As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, as long as God doesn't mess with it and God and his son don't mess with it, the national power will definitely be enhanced and the people's lives will be easier.
Huang Senping paused and said slowly: "I want to see the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Jianwen."
"Ah, isn't this appropriate?"
Huang Yuanli was a little surprised.
Huang Senping didn't think anything was wrong. His identity as a deserter or a traitor was no longer important. With Ming Dynasty's intelligence capabilities, Zhu Yunwen had known his true identity for a long time. The fact that he never had an incident meant that the past had been wiped out.

"It's not appropriate now. After solving Temanggong, I want to go to the Ming Dynasty and give Emperor Jianwen a big gift. Sister, you Say, will you agree to give this gift I picked out?"
The corner of Huang Senping's mouth moved slightly, and Huang Yuanli stared.
Huang Wanghai hurried over and reported: "The Ming Dynasty envoy has arrived at the Duanshou River and wants to meet the general in Boni City."
Chief Soldier is what the people of the Ming Dynasty called Huang Senping.
Huang Senping nodded and arranged: "Tell Huang Kesun that I will personally welcome the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty."
Huang Wanghai left.
Huang Senping looked at Huang Yuanli and said: "The Ming Dynasty's navy is divided into three parts, and the southern navy is located in the Aizhou Port of Cochin. Now they are sending envoys here. They do not land from the north of Bo Ni Kingdom, but choose to land at the Broken Hand River in the east. Log in, you can see it, Ming Dynasty is expressing its stance and giving Temangong a clear attitude."
The Ming Dynasty envoys marched eastward along the Broken Hand River and arrived at Chinatown.
This is a city full of Ming Dynasty characteristics. It is square and has both crenellations and towers.
Benefiting from the long-distance trade, many Ming merchants flooded into Chinatown. Some merchants no longer even arranged for their clerks to search for goods, but only rented a shop in the city, put up a purchase sign, and waited for business there leisurely. Come to your door.
Familiar scenes and familiar buildings made Lin Huan, Jiang Chengzhou and others think they were back in the Ming Dynasty. Huang Kesun received him carefully and escorted the envoy team to Bo Ni City in the north.
Outside Boni City.
Prince Temangun, Prince Ahmed, Huang Senping, Minister Bo Ni and others were waiting outside to welcome him.
Lin Huan looked at the people greeting him in front of him, led them forward and shouted: "Who is Prince Ahmed?"
As soon as these words came out, Prince Temangong's heart sank, and the onlookers of the Bo Ni Minister also began to weigh it. It seems that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty is closer to Prince Ahmed. If he continues to stand on Temangong's side, I'm afraid it won't end well.
Ming Dynasty is optimistic about Ahmed, should we be optimistic about Temangun?
Prince Ahmed took two steps and solemnly shouted: "Prince Ahmed of Boni welcomes the envoys of the Celestial Dynasty."
Lin Huan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "The Emperor of Heaven heard that Prince Ahmed was kind, kind, graceful and noble, and he worked with Mr. Huang to develop trade, benefiting the people of Boni and benefiting each other. He appointed me as an envoy to work with Mr. Huang. Prince Ahmed, Commander Huang, and others are discussing business matters, and I hope that Prince Ahmed and Commander Huang will cooperate more."
The emperor of tomorrow?
So, the emperor of tomorrow is optimistic about Ahmed and Huang Senping?
At this moment, Minister Bo Ni changed his position.
But those ministers who were originally inclined to Huang Senping and Prince Ahmed were overjoyed. Look, the Ming Dynasty is our backer. If you Temanggong wants to compete for the throne, try it. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not canonize you, you have won over. Everyone, you are not the legitimate King of Bo Ni either.
As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, King Bo Ni needed the emperor of Ming Dynasty to nod, give seals, canonize, and provide etiquette.
Huang Senping watched this scene and secretly marveled.
The methods of the Ming Dynasty people were unusual. Without even a single soldier, they completely allowed Ahmed to win the hearts of the people and stabilize the situation with just a few words.
Ahmed glanced at the embarrassed Prince Temangun, and introduced Lin Huan and others: "This is Prince Temangun."
Lin Huan looked at Temangong and exchanged a few polite words, but the muscles on his face were obviously stiff and his smile was gone. This made Temangong angry, but he had to endure it.
Daming, no one can provoke Daming.
Lin Huan really brought the trade book, hoping that Bo Ni Country could mine coal and have the Ming Navy directly purchase it.
Ahmed readily agreed.
There is a lot of coal in the Bo Ni country, which is open-pit and easy to mine. It is basically the kind that can be shoveled and loaded.
At Aizhou Port, where the navy was governed in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, it was inevitable for the navy to transform steam engines. The operation of steam engines requires a large amount of coal. Although there are many open-pit coal mines in Jiaozhi, they need to be used as reserves and consumed, and they still need to be "imported." , Besides, this is also an important way to control the Bo Ni Kingdom.
Lin Huan met with Huang Senping alone and presented a painting, explaining: "The emperor knew that Mr. Huang was from Quanzhou, Fujian, so he sent a special painter to his hometown of Quanzhou to draw this landscape painting of Quanzhou, and asked me to deliver it in person. To comfort Mr. Huang’s homesickness.”
Huang Senping looked at the familiar landscape and burst into tears.
It has been thirty years since I left my hometown, and I have missed my hometown for thirty years. I have never returned to my familiar roots. But now, it appears, in this painting.
This is Qingyuan Mountain, Qingjing Temple?
This is the Confucian Temple?
Is this Quanzhou Port? So many ships, such a lush harbor?
Huang Senping was touched.
This is Quanzhou, my hometown and my roots.
I am old and want to go home.
After death, we must return to our roots.
This is tradition, this is the words passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, and it is the road to peace after death.
Huang Senping faced Lin Huan, wiped away his tears, and said bluntly: "I want to personally lead a team to the Ming Dynasty to pay homage to the emperor. I don't know if the emperor will grant permission."
Lin Huan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "If Mr. Huang comes home, the emperor will definitely welcome him and give him a banquet."
Huang Senping didn't need any favors, he just wanted to go home, return to his hometown, and be buried in the powerful and prosperous land of Ming Dynasty after his death.
The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were sent to Balni for only three days, but they influenced the political situation of Balni. Ahmed gained the upper hand with the support of all the forces, and Temangun had to voluntarily withdraw from the struggle for the throne.
In September, Ahmed sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty to ask for canonization. At the same time, the Qingyuan Pirates set sail again, heading towards the vast sea...
