The next day, Fengtian Palace.
Huang Senping, Huang Kesun and others changed their bows and chose to pay homage with a big ceremony.
Zhu Yunwen ordered his servant to help him, looked at the elderly Huang Senping carefully, and said calmly: "Mr. Huang traveled overseas and returned home recently. Are you still used to it?"
Huang Senping felt completely relieved after listening to Zhu Yunwen's words. Zhu Yunwen's evaluation of him taking his whole family and a group of sergeants to Boni was just "traveling overseas", and it did not involve defection or anything like that, and he had no intention of pursuing the crime.
Is he the Emperor of Heaven, Emperor Jianwen?
Huang Senping looked at Zhu Yunwen with some impoliteness. The man in front of him was only thirty years old. It was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. It only took him eight years to complete a series of innovations, making the Ming Dynasty's national power spread far and wide overseas, and all foreigners were convinced.
People at the Imperial College said that he also proposed Ming Dynasty’s ongoing five-year science and technology strategy, as well as the concept of industry. This thirty-year-old emperor leads the direction of Ming Dynasty!
As long as he is here, a prosperous age can be expected!
Huang Senping solemnly replied: "I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and returning home is a habit. It's just that there have been many changes in the capital, and many new things have appeared, which are refreshing. .”
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said calmly: "There are still few changes at the moment. In another ten or eight years of the Ming Dynasty, when many students have graduated, there will definitely be more new things emerging in the Ming Dynasty."
Huang Senping was filled with longing. When talking about yesterday's dream, he added: "Unfortunately, I am old and can't wait any longer."
Zhu Yunwen comforted him: "How can you say such depressing words when you are not even an octogenarian yet?"
Huang Senping shook his head bitterly, his body knew it.
Give wine and banquet, sing and dance to celebrate.
After some joking, Huang Senping finally stood up again and saluted solemnly: "The Great Emperor of China, Huang Senping, the foreign minister, has several wishes and requests. Please listen to the Emperor."
Zhu Yunwen said quickly: "I will listen to whatever you say. But you have worked hard for a long time before arriving in the capital. It is not appropriate to kneel for a long time. Please sit down and talk."
Huang Senping stood up but did not sit down, but pleaded: "I am originally a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. I came to Bo Ni during the Hongwu period, and later established myself in Bo Ni and had some family business. However, I have been wandering for half my life, and my roots are in the Ming Dynasty. Fallen leaves will return to their roots. Huang begged the emperor to allow Huang Senping to take photos of himself and allow me to register as a Ming Dynasty household registration and become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty."
His words shocked everyone.
Become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty again?
He is a powerful figure in Balni and can even be said to directly control the entire Balni Kingdom. He actually wants to come back and become a subject of the Ming Dynasty!
Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin and others looked at each other and they all knew that this was the central attraction Zhu Yunwen mentioned.
In Zhu Yunwen's explanation, through development, Ming Dynasty will become the center of the world, and this center has a strong attraction. Affected by this attraction, the world's attention, resources, wealth, and population will all be directed here.
Huang Senping's return home and desire to become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty again should be the result of this strong attraction.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Senping, who spoke sincerely, and nodded slightly: "Mr. Huang is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. It is reasonable to register in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a request. Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it is up to you to handle this matter."
Xia Yuanji immediately agreed.
Huang Senping continued: "I hope that a hundred years from now, I can support my body in China."
After death, he can be buried in Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen readily agreed.
A smile appeared on Huang Senping's face: "Boni country has high mountains. I hope the emperor will give it a good name and keep Balni forever."
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a while and then said: "I have agreed to this matter. How about writing an inscription in the future to give the Bo Ni Mountain a name and explain its origin?"
Huang Senping quickly thanked him and then fell into silence.
Huang Kesun looked at his father, feeling a little nervous.
Huang Senping did not remain silent for long. He looked up at Zhu Yunwen, took out a map from his arms, and made his final request: "The Ming Navy can go north in the cold winter and south in the scorching heat, without waiting for the monsoon or the water flow. It can be said that it is invincible in the world." Hand. However, the southern navy is located in Cochin, and the old port is narrow and narrow, making it difficult to be the best place for the navy."
"We have lived in Bo Ni for a long time, reclaimed land, and reclaimed Duanshou River, Chinatown and other places. Now, I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and should serve the imperial court. I hereby submit a map of the land belonging to the Huang family in Bo Ni. They all belong to the Emperor, and I hope the Emperor will accept them!"
Tie Xuan, Xu Huizu and others were pleasantly surprised after hearing this.
Li Jian, the official of the Navy Commander's Mansion, stared wide-eyed and full of suspicion: Is there anything so cheap in this world?
Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Yunwen and finally understood why Zhu Yunwen wanted to open up the most secret knowledge of the Imperial Academy to Huang Senping, because he knew that he would gain more by doing so!
Yang Rong secretly lamented that the initial hope of the court and navy was to form a good relationship with Huang Senping and get Bo Ni to agree to the Ming Dynasty building a military port in his country. However, Huang Senping gave him more than what the Ming Dynasty wanted. He directly sent the troops he had built. All foundations and territories!
Zhu Yunwen took the map handed over by the chamberlain, slowly unfolded it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This map is very bold!
According to the actual control range of the Bo Ni Kingdom, it was only a small part of the northern part of Kalimantan Island in later generations, plus the northeastern part controlled by Huang Senping and others, it was just a very small area.
But Huang Senping seemed to have seen through Ming Dynasty's ambitions and Zhu Yunwen's desire for land, oceans, and islands. He directly included almost the entire island of Kalimantan within the Huang family's influence on the Bo Ni map. Not only that, he actually had the guts to It was so big that Sulawesi, which was still the territory of savages, was put on the map and given away.
That means, Zhu Yunwen, don't worry about not having a large territory. These islands are all yours. Send the navy to occupy them.
Zhu Yunwen knew clearly that the Ming Dynasty, which had this map, could legitimately send its navy to take over the territory. The Nanyang countries were afraid, but they could not say anything. After all, this was given to the Ming Dynasty by Huang Senping, not captured by the Ming Dynasty in the war.
Staring at the map, Zhu Yunwen was in a daze.
In history, Zhu Dishou did not receive this map, and Zhu Yunwen did not know it. But history records that Huang Senping proposed to give his territory to the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Di did not ask for it.
The wise and powerful Emperor Yongle sent Zheng He to run around for decades, but never thought of building an overseas base that truly belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Territory delivered to your door, don't be a fool.
In order to avoid complications, Zhu Yunwen didn't even refuse or be humble, he just agreed.
In order to commend Huang Senping for his contribution to the land donation, Zhu Yunwen made Huang Senping the King of South Asia and Huang Kesun the Duke of Nanguo, which was hereditary.
The Cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Fifth Army Commander's Office, and the Navy Commander's Office began to get busy. Suddenly, such a large piece of land was added, and it was still in the depths of Nanyang. This was simply a God-given opportunity.
After several days of deliberation, the Navy Commander-in-Chief wrote a letter proposing to mobilize ships and troops in addition to the Donghai Navy, Southeast Navy, and Southern Navy to establish a Nanyang Navy on Balni Island to establish a complete foothold in Nanyang.
After careful consideration, Zhu Yunwen decided to set up a Nanyang Navy to specialize in the waters from Majapahit in the south, Sulawesi and Sulu in the winter, Sumatra in the west, and Kunlun Island in the north. The sea areas from Kunlun Island in Champa to the north to Guangxi, east to Luzon, and from Luzon north to Guangdong are still under the jurisdiction of the Southern Navy.
Huang Senping and Huang Kesun accepted the reward from the Ming Dynasty, and began to return home with their full rewards under the escort of the navy.
Zhu Yunwen hoped that Huang Senping would go back to explain the situation and tell the Southeast Asian countries that these territories were given to the Ming Dynasty by Huang Senping. It was definitely not because the Ming Dynasty did not follow the rules and destroyed the "Republican Trade Book".
Daming told them a hundred times, it would be better for Huang Senping to go back and tell them once.
Huang Senping said, I have the final say on my territory. If I want to give it to Ming Dynasty, I will give it to Ming Dynasty. Why, if you are not satisfied, you can also give the land to Ming Dynasty.
Balni Island entered the Ming Dynasty. According to the agreement between the Ming Dynasty and Huang Senping, it did not harm the Balni Kingdom, but Ahmed was still the king. Zhu Yunwen didn't mind either. After all, the territory of Bo Ni Country after being cut was small and pitiful. Well, it would be Brunei in later generations.
With the establishment of the Nanyang Navy, the first step of Zhu Yunwen's Nanyang strategy has been completed, and the remaining second step will be to control the east-west sea lanes from the Nanyang to and from the Indian Ocean.
Although the Old Port is on the side of the Malacca Sea Channel, its geographical location is still too far to the east. After others pass through this sea channel, if they don't keep an eye on it, they can bypass the Old Port and go directly north.
Although the navy is now powerful and the Ming Dynasty has free access to waterways, it cannot directly install magical cannons on land to block seaways. Zhu Yunwen always feels that something is missing.
Think about it, a few decades after I leave, when the Western fleet enters the Strait of Malacca, can I still let them run to the South China Sea?
Controlling the Strait of Malacca can at least create a first line of defense. Without this line of defense, the Old Port is dangerous.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know whether the Huamian Kingdom would invade Sumatra and kill the king of Sumatra under the deterrence of the Ming Dynasty. The Nanyang strategy still needs to be slowed down, Zheng He's fleet has not returned yet...
February 7th.
Zhang Fu, Zhu Guang and others sent good news. The imperial army fought with the chieftains of Xunzhou and Liuzhou, killing more than 10,000 enemies in total, and captured Huang Nan and more than 13,000 people. Liuzhou and Xunzhou were pacified.
Zhu Yunwen ordered the cabinet to draft a decree and reward the sergeants. At the same time, he ordered the Chief Envoy of Guangxi to select officials to serve as magistrates of Xunzhou and Liuzhou, and to set up magistrates to manage the local people, and completely restore the two places to their original status.
As for the prisoners, Zhang Fu was ordered to kill the bandit leader, and the young and strong men were sent to Liaodong to reclaim wasteland, leaving behind the controllable women, children and the elderly.
The rebellion caused by the chieftains in Guangxi was very inconspicuous, but it was this rebellion that made everyone in the court realize that the chieftains would always cause trouble if they had the power and soldiers in their hands.
If the chieftain's power is not taken away, sooner or later there will be greater chaos in the Southwest.
Zhu Yunwen also understood this truth, but he no longer had the energy to think about the southwest, and instead turned his attention to the northeast.
The war is about to begin.
