My Daming New Empire

Everyone felt sincere fear in their hearts, but also a kind of curiosity.Even when worshiping, the face of God is not so strict. Could it be that the emperor of Ming Dynasty is more honorable than God?

Then, they got the answer, and when the eunuch talked about the beliefs of various countries, he proudly said: "Our emperor is more noble than any god, even the gods must obey the orders of our emperor."

I have only studied for half a month, but Chawang has left a deep impression in his heart, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is more noble than a god!

Thank you for seeing people with lights, it really is water, I spit you for the reward, thank you for your support, I am going to double update 12000 words today

Chapter 20 Trapping (monthly ticket supplement)

This small island outside the port of Malacca is a very famous scenic spot in later generations, and the Chinese call it Baisha Island.

Except for a few white-sand beaches and a holiday villa hotel, the whole island is just a golf course.

After playing on the island for two days, the affairs on Malaka's side have already started, and the goods that need to be loaded and unloaded have also been loaded on the ship, and they moved to the old port.

This time when he moved to the old port, Zhu Zhanji did not take the flagship, but changed to a flagship ship converted from a sand ship.

The so-called sand boats are not sand-loaded boats, but sand-proof boats. As the name suggests, they are not afraid of being stranded on the beach.

The flat bottom of the sand boat can sit on the beach without fear of running aground.It is also safe in wind and waves.Especially when the wind direction and tide direction are different, because the bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, it is less affected by the tide and is relatively safe.

The second is superior performance in offshore navigation.Sand ships have multiple masts and multiple sails, so they can sail against the wind.

The sand boat that Zhu Zhanji was on had a load capacity of [-] shi, equivalent to a displacement of [-] tons in later generations. It is the largest flat-bottomed boat in this era.

The disadvantage of the sand ship is that the water receiving area is large.Because the bow is flat, the speed is relatively slow.For this reason, a batch of water boards, also called waist camels, are installed on both sides of the middle of the hull.

After the draping board is installed, the ability of running against the wind and sailing is further enhanced.Such sand boats can still drive safely under the condition of seven-level wind.

But this is only theoretical, because it has a flat bottom, and the ability of this kind of boat to break waves is very poor.

The Yuan Dynasty dispatched a fleet of more than 900 sandships to attack Dongying. After encountering a typhoon in the western waters of Dongying, the entire army was almost wiped out.

However, Zhu Zhanji is now driving in the equatorial windless zone. There is no typhoon here, so there is no need to be afraid, and this kind of boat can directly enter the small river and directly reach the old port.

On the way to the Old Port, Zhu Zhanji also stayed in Star City for a day.

There is nothing in Singapore in this era, just a wasteland and jungle, and there are only traces of people living by the sea.

The main city of later generations is still a swamp.Wang Jinghong organized people to start logging and burning waste here in the later Kent Harbor Park, and first built a simple wharf with wood.

Mount Kent is not high, but it is close to the sea, and he also set the venue for the competition here.

People sit on the slopes of Mount Kent, facing the port, and can clearly see the game down the mountain.

And the company headquarters of his later generations, Blarney Island is now a forest, and there is no memory of it at all.

Revisiting the old place after 600 years, everything is different.

However, Zhu Zhanji is not a person who likes to be sad. He can make his wife happy and change the fate of the Chinese in this time and space. These are enough for him.

After leaving Singapore, it arrived at the mouth of the Old Port two days later, and countless Chinese arrived here.

Today's Old Port has a population of less than 10, but it is already the second largest city in Nanyang, second only to Yogyakarta, the largest city in Majapahit, and slightly larger than their current capital, Majapahit.

Because the original capital of Majapahit was actually Yogyakarta, but because of the volcanic eruption, it was moved to Surabaya in later generations.

In today's Java Island, the population is mainly concentrated in the central and eastern parts. As for the western part, it is not safe because of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

And the Jakarta of the later generations has not been seen at all.

Palembang has been the birthplace and capital of the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom since the seventh century, that is, before the Sui Dynasty. It was not captured by Majapahit until the year before Zhu Zhanji was born.

However, Majapahit's strength is limited, and the ruler's control over the army is also limited.Their army is Luo Jia, which is equivalent to the establishment of the vassal king himself, and there are not many troops directly controlled by the king.

After the battle was over, the lord dared not stop those soldiers who wanted to go back.

Moreover, Majapahit was also divided into three kings. When the common enemy Sanfoqi was destroyed, war broke out among the three kings, and the fight lasted for several years.

During Zheng He's first mission, 170 soldiers were killed by the Eastern King of Majapahit. Later, they paid 6 taels of gold as compensation.

It was in such an environment that they wiped out the Three Buddhas.But because of the civil war, the power of the Western King was weaker, and the Old Port was later occupied by the Chinese.

At that time, there were more than 1000 Chinese living in Sanfoqi, and local natives jointly supported Liang Daoming, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, as the king of Sanfoqi.

Liang Daoming then formed an army and personally led the troops to guard the northern territory of Sanfoqi against Manjaboyi.

In ten years, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians crossed the sea from Guangdong to defect to King Liang Daoming. In the third year of Yongle, Zhu Di sent Liang Daoming's fellow villager, Tan Shengshou, and Qianhu Yang Xin, the supervisory censor, to Zhao'an with imperial letters.

Liang Daoming was overjoyed, and brought his subordinate Zheng Boke into the court together, leaving his deputy Shi Jinqing to lead the army and civilians.

When he arrived at Yingtian Mansion, Liang Daoming refused to leave, and he was no longer the king, and the throne was passed on to his deputy, Shi Jinqing.

After living in the capital for several years, Liang Daoming died, and his clan transported him back to his ancestral home for burial.Because there are no outstanding talents among the descendants, except for a few descendants who hold idle positions in the Secretary of General Administration, no one has become an official.

This time when Zhu Zhanji went to sea, the descendants of the Liang family accompanied him.

Then turn to Shi Jinqing.

This person, Zhu Zhanji knew him in later generations, and he also loves and hates him.

What I love is that he created a world for the Chinese in the old port. What I hate is that he is a very key person in the greening of Nanyang.

Liang Daoming did not want to be this hard-pressed king, because at that time, the Old Port, also known as the New Sanfo Qi Kingdom, was occupied by the Western King of Majapahit, and there were great conflicts among the various tribes in the country. constraints.

Even the pirate king Chen Zuyi occupied the western part of Borneo and often sent troops to plunder.

Shi Jinqing cherished this opportunity to be king.

This person still has abilities. He has well grasped the balance of tribal conflicts and has real power.After Zheng He's fleet wiped out Chen Zuyi's fleet, he threatened Majapahit not to attack the old port, so he was a king with gusto.

However, in order to balance the contradictions within Srivijaya, he believed in the Green Sect.

In order to gain the trust of most of the Green Christians, he, an outsider, worked harder and became the most active person in promoting greening.

Many materials of later generations have confirmed Shi Jinqing's important role in the greening of Nanyang.So Zhu Zhanji came here this time with a very important purpose, which is to strictly prohibit him from continuing to promote greening, and to strictly control it.

If he doesn't follow, Zhu Zhanji is going to change the king.If those tribes objected, Zhu Zhanji's hands would have been itchy, and he wanted to find someone to kill chickens and monkeys.

Shi Jinqing is not a law-abiding person, after taking power, he is actually very inflated.

Although Daming appointed him as the consolation envoy of the old port of Cong Sanpin, he still called himself the king of Srivijaya to other countries.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't care about this. His contribution to the Chinese is still very large. Today, there are more than [-] Chinese around the Old Port. It is all his credit to live and work here.

So as long as he doesn't continue to promote greening, Zhu Zhanji doesn't care that he is a land king here.

Even if he arranges others to come over, he may not be able to do as well as he does, and after a long time, he will still have a sense of self-reliance.
