Chapter 311: Nanyang Old Port! Zhu Gaosui's Mentality Is Broken!

Nanyang.

Jiugang Xuanwei Department.

That is Palembang in the southeast of Sumatra Island, formerly the ancient kingdom of Srivijaya.

At this moment, Shi Jinqing, the propaganda envoy of Jiugang, was leading his civil and military officials, standing at the port eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Ming Dynasty envoy.

Shi Jinqing was ordered by the Ming Emperor to serve as the envoy to the old port since he assisted Zheng He and Chen Bing to defeat Chen Zuyi in the fifth year of Yongle. It has been seven years now.

Although he was named the envoy of Jiugang by the Ming Dynasty, he still called himself "King of Srivijaya" to other countries.

After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The old port is so far away from China. It is only the Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty in name. Who is not a king?

Because of this, Shi Jinqing felt very uneasy at the moment.

He didn't understand why the Ming Navy fleet came to Old Port this time.

Compared with the fleet that covered the sky when Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty sailed to the Western Ocean, the fleet that appeared in front of him at this moment was less than one-fifth.

This means that the Ming Dynasty navy in front of us did not go to the Western Ocean, but came here for Sri Buddha!

However, when he thought about his achievements in assisting Zheng He to defeat the pirate king Chen Zuyi, Shi Jinqing's heart suddenly calmed down.

After all, he has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!

While he was thinking about it, the great angel on the fleet had already walked over.

Shi Jinqing was about to say hello to his old friend Zheng He and ask them about their purpose of coming to Old Port. However, when he saw the person clearly, he was instantly confused.

Zheng He is not here!

Wu Xuan is not here!

Wang Jinghong is also not here!

Only Hou Xian, the former deputy, surrounded by two Confucian officials and ministers, and a burly General Jia, walked over calmly!

Behind them, a soldier in armor stepped off the ship. Within a moment, the pier was filled with people. It was estimated that there were thousands of people!

What's happening here?

Hou Xian walked closer and saw that Shi Jinqing was still in a daze. He coughed twice and reminded: "Where is Shi Jinqing, the ambassador of comfort in the old port? Welcome the distinguished guest!"

Distinguished guest?

What kind of distinguished guest is this?

Upon hearing this, Shi Jinqing stepped forward immediately.

He and Hou Xian couldn't be said to be very familiar with each other, but they had fought side by side in the past.

"Master Hou, I am here, Shi Jinqing. May I ask who your distinguished guest is..."

"You've blinded your dog's eyes. Prince Zhao of the Ming Dynasty is in front of you. Why don't you kneel down and salute!"

Hou Xian pointed at the general who was wearing strong armor and scolded him sternly. Shi Jinqing was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a "pop".

Back then, he sent his son-in-law to pay tribute to Beijing, and later learned about some powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty from his son-in-law.

For example, Prince Zhao of the Ming Dynasty, who has a face full of displeasure in front of him, is the third son of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and a prince of the Ming Dynasty. According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, any official who sees him must kneel down and salute!

When the officials behind him saw this, they also knelt down obediently.

Zhu Gaosui snorted lukewarmly, his face indeed full of displeasure.

When he went to sea, he was still high-spirited and heroic, ready to lay the foundation for his Nanyang King with his own hands.

However, when he went on a long sea voyage for the first time, he unexpectedly developed symptoms of seasickness and vomited like a dog on the boat.

Not to mention any ambitions, Zhu Gaosui already wanted to die at that time. When he woke up, he realized that that bastard Zhu Gaoxu was not a human being.

After finally arriving in Jiaozhi, he immediately prepared to disembark with Zhang Fu and Huang Fu, but Yang Shiqi, a dog, tricked him into coming to the old port.

It is said that the old port has a unique terrain and beautiful scenery like a paradise, which can be the location of the Nanyang royal palace in the future...

Zhu Gaosui believed in his evil deeds. After all, it was his future inheritance, so he endured the discomfort and continued the voyage half awake, and finally reached the old port.

In the end, Prince Zhao never expected that this bastard Yang Shiqi was really enough!

What a fucking beautiful scenery, what a fucking paradise, this is a barren land, and those women are all wearing animal furs...

Only Chinese and Han people like Shi Jinqing still dress like human beings...

The moment he got off the boat, Zhu Gaosui understood that he had been deceived and became lame, and now it was difficult to go back!

When he thought of this, Prince Zhao felt very uncomfortable.

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaoxu, it belongs to your uncle!

You're a cheater, now you're here to cheat your brother again!

Seeing that Prince Zhao was indifferent and Shi Jinqing was still kneeling on the ground, Yang Shiqi rolled his eyes and immediately reminded: "Your Majesty, Shi Xuanwei has done great service in Jiugang, and he is older, so it is better to..."

"Well...get up, why don't you be more polite."

Zhu Gaosui waved his hand impatiently and glared at Yang Shiqi viciously.

The latter has an expressionless face. He has been here for a long time. How can he open up the situation quickly without using the power of Prince Zhao?

Only then did Shi Jinqing dare to stand up and cast a grateful look at Yang Shiqi.

"May I ask who this gentleman is..."

"I, Yang Shiqi, the chief envoy of Jiugang, will need more help from Mr. Shi in the future!"

"Oh, it turns out to be Master Yang. Don't worry, Master Yang. As long as I am needed, I will definitely... What did you say? Administrative envoy? The imperial court is preparing to be in charge of government in Old Port?"

Before Shi Jinqing finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and froze on the spot, his face extremely ugly.

Chief envoy!

Is the Ming Dynasty going to govern in Jiugang?

So who is he, the King of Srivijaya?

A joke?

You must know that the Secretary for Propaganda and the Chief Secretary are completely different.

The Xuanwei Division is a military-focused supervisory agency between provinces and states. It is generally in charge of military and civilian affairs and is a local agency.

Most of the imperial courts implemented the chieftain system in the foreign areas, and established institutions such as the Military and Civilian Xuanwei Department to govern.

This system, to put it bluntly, is to grant official positions to foreign barbarian chiefs, making this place nominally the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is still managed by the native officials and chiefs themselves, no different from the past.

But the Chief Secretary was different. He directly brought the area under the management of the Central Court of the Ming Dynasty and adopted the same administrative system as the fourteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty!

What's happening here?

Shi Jinqing was confused, and so were his children who were waiting to inherit the throne behind him.

How could this place be suddenly brought under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty?

Upon seeing this, Yang Shiqi smiled lightly and asked a heart-wrenching question.

"Mr. Shi, what are you doing?"

"The Ming Dynasty sent civil and military officials to Old Port to administer government affairs and benefit the people of Old Port. Shouldn't Mr. Shi be happy?"

"Could it be that Mr. Shi wants to imitate Chen Zuyi, seal the territories and establish himself as king?"

As soon as Yang Shiqi said these four words, Zhu Gaosui suddenly raised his right hand. Tens of thousands of brave warriors behind him drew their swords and looked at Shi Jinqing and others with eager eyes.

The whole place was filled with murderous intent, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Shi Jinqing noticed the disdain in Zhu Gaosui's eyes. He was unwilling to hand over his throne. However, facing tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, Srivijaya had no strength to resist!

Srivijaya has less than three thousand soldiers capable of fighting...

Thinking about it, Shi Jinqing felt sad in his heart.

He never expected that the Ming Dynasty was so ungrateful that it suddenly took action to forcibly reorganize the old port, and even directly sent civil and military officials to govern!

What did the Ming Dynasty want to do?

Could it be that they want to devour the entire Southeast Asia?

"Master Yang, the imperial court directly placed the old port under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"After all, most of the people living in Old Port are Chinese Han people who went to Southeast Asia. They have no sense of belonging to China. If this is not handled well, I am afraid it will cause them to rise up and resist..."

Hearing this, the smile on Yang Shiqi's face became even stronger.

Old man, you still want to threaten me with this?

"Don't worry, Mr. Shi. Before I came to Old Port, I specially invited an old friend of Mr. Shi in Guangdong."

Shi Jinqing: "???"

Old friend?

Who is my...

Could it be him? !

Shi Jinqing panicked and followed Yang Shiqi's gaze, his eyes turning red the next moment.

The visitor has white hair and a stooped figure. He is Liang Daoming, the former king of Old Port!

In the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, King Majapahit of Java destroyed the old dynasty of Sanfoqi, causing great chaos in the country.

At that time, there were more than a thousand Chinese living in Srivijaya, and they supported Liang Daoming, a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, as the King of Srivijaya.

King Daoming of Liang led troops to guard the northern territory of Srivijaya against Majapahit. In the past ten years, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians crossed the sea from Guangdong and defected to King Daoming of Liang.

In the third year of Yongle, the Ming Emperor sent Tan Shengshou, the supervisory censor, and Yang Xin of Qianhu, a fellow countryman of King Liang Daoming, to come to Jiugang with an edict to recruit peace.

King Liang Daoming and his minister Zheng Boke went to pay tribute together, leaving his deputy Shi Jinqing to lead the soldiers and civilians.

In this way, Liang Daoming returned to his hometown after being recruited to take care of himself.

After that, Liang Daoming's deputy Shi Jinqing succeeded Liang Daoming, and UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net became the leader of the Chinese in Old Hong Kong.

Shi Jinqing never expected that nine years later, the former king of Old Port would still be alive and would follow Ming officials back to Old Port!

Liang Daoming walked forward tremblingly, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Shi Jinqing.

"Xiao Shi, let go, you can't hold the old port!"

"I'm an old man and I'm determined to go on a long sea voyage with them until I come back to Old Port. I just don't want to see you doing stupid things!"

Hearing this, Shi Jinqing burst into tears as he recalled the difficult but happy days when their brothers joined forces to fight against overseas barbarians and overcame obstacles to establish a kingdom.

"Brother Liang, I...I..."

"What Ming Dynasty wants is not just Old Port, but also the whole of Nanyang!"

Liang Daoming sighed, "In the current situation, if you lead your brothers to resist, you will only cause them to die innocently!"

"Let go and give your descendants a good future. After all, they need manpower now."

"Master Yang, am I right?"

He is worthy of being the man who dominated Nanyang in the past!

Yang Shiqi secretly admired him, and then smiled and said: "What Mr. Liang said is true. If Mr. Shi is willing to fully assist me in the Ming Dynasty, the son of the Shi family can become a general in the Navy, and can become an official in the Chief Secretary. If he makes outstanding achievements, , a reward equal to that of a lieutenant in the army!"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Jinqing's children were a little moved and looked eager to try.

After all, there is only one throne for Lao Shizi. Instead of fighting to the death among their brothers and sisters, it is better for them all to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Uncle Liang just said that the Ming Dynasty is planning to swallow up the entire Southeast Asia, so they will naturally have the opportunity to be rewarded for their meritorious service!

Isn’t the cherished title of the Great Tomorrow’s Kingdom more valuable than the king of this small overseas country?
