My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji picked up a pen, circled a large area including the Sulu Islands and Mindanao, and asked him to get closer. "Da Ming doesn't have much energy to manage the various islands in Nanyang, everything depends on you. However, there are too many people who can make decisions, which is not a good thing for Da Ming. We prefer to only rely on one agent for everything. Communication. Do you understand me when I say this?"

Du Mahan looked at the map, and this circle included the huge territory of Jima Cilang and other tribes.He said in disbelief, "Your Highness, why me?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled, looked down at Du Mahan, who was a head shorter than himself, and said, "Because I like you, it's as simple as that."

Hearing this sentence, Du Mahan can feel Zhu Zhanji's strength even more, and this is not a bluff, but a real ability.

In his view, Ming's fleet could directly wipe out all the forces in Nanyang, but they didn't want to do that.

Of course Zhu Zhanji would not do this, he still needs these natives to become coolies of Ming Dynasty, and these tribes of them become the dumping grounds of Ming Dynasty.

Fighting and killing will only leave hatred, and waste energy will not get long-term benefits.

Governor Ma Han didn't hesitate any longer, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "I am willing to obey His Highness' orders."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "You accept this map. This is the sphere of influence delineated for you. In the future, no matter how many people you have under your command, you can't cross this boundary. But whoever disobeys you here Order, you can deal with him with a sword."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Since you are allowed to stand out, it is natural to support you. Xie Zhenqi will discuss it with you, and you can ask him directly if you have any requirements. If you can help me, I will help you."

After Du Mahan left, he came by boat again that afternoon, bringing all kinds of seafood and fish, as well as various foods, but he never had the opportunity to meet Zhu Zhanji alone again.

However, when he saw that the Ming Fleet provided him with five hundred long knives, five hundred spears, and various medicines, all of these made him extremely satisfied.

With these weapons, he believed he could wipe out the entire island of Mindanao.

Zhu Zhanji doesn't care whether he can succeed or not, it's of course best if he can succeed, if he can't succeed, he will change another agent at worst.

In this land, there are countless people who want to be Daming's agents.

Thank you, Wu Leistorm, the mountains are green, the lights can see others, Lun Jianhai, Huang Qianjiu’s reward, thank you for your support

Chapter 13 Boni Kingdom

"Your Highness, this concubine has never been so happy before. It's great to be with you..."

Ma Xin leaned on Zhu Zhanji's body, not caring that his immature body had been exposed in broad daylight.

There are no other men on this island except Zhu Zhanji. Those clans thought the island was not fun, so they were taken to Zamboanga by Governor Ma Han for warm hospitality.Even the servants were driven away by Zhu Zhanji.

Except for Shen Dai'er, all the other women here have been trained by Zhu Zhanji. They even soaked in hot springs together, and have done all kinds of embarrassing things, so on this island where there are no other people, wearing obscene clothes is nothing at all. .

Ma Xin was loved by his parents since he was a child, and his family background is very good. He has never suffered hardships.In the palace, she was the youngest, and she did not fight or grab, Zhu Zhanji treated her differently, and no one dared to bully her.

So although in the harem, it is rare to maintain a pure state of mind.

Zhu Zhanji also only wore a small coat, revealing his thick thighs and muscular body, lying on a recliner.He looked at Liu Chenghui and the others with a smile, and asked, "How about you? Are you happy?"

Liu Chenghui said with a smile: "Since ancient times, when a woman is married, she is not allowed to go in and out of the house at will, and she can only live in the backyard for the rest of her life. The concubine and others are lucky enough to travel thousands of miles with His Highness. I really didn't dare to think about it before."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "I also know that etiquette is very restrictive, especially for you women. In the future, if I have time, I will take you around more to see, so that you will not be confined in the palace."

Women in this era are so easily satisfied, they can only live within the frame drawn by men for them, and they dare not go beyond a step.

He sat up and said with a smile, "Have you had enough rest? Who wants to play in the water with me?"

The girls were all a little embarrassed, but Ma Xin grabbed Zhu Zhanji's arm and said, "Your Highness, I haven't learned how to swim yet?"

Zhu Zhanji hugged her up and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll teach you how to swim again..."

Zhu Zhanji strode on the pink sandy beach to the shallow water with Ma Xin in his arms, and then threw her down.

Ma Xin fell into the half-meter-deep seawater all of a sudden, the obscene clothes on his body were wet, and a beautiful arc was printed on his body.

She laughed and splashed water with her hands, started a water fight with Zhu Zhanji, and laughed heartily.

Shen Dai'er tugged at the obscene clothes on her body, and then asked in a soft voice with some surprise: "Liu Chenghui, has Your Highness always been this friendly?"

Liu Chenghui nodded, sighed and said, "Your Highness has a noble blood, but treats everyone equally. We should all cherish this blessing."

The rest of the girls were all lower in status than her, and when they heard her preaching, they all immediately responded.

Although this island has beautiful scenery, it is impossible for Zhu Zhanji to play here forever.Time is a luxury for him, and such a chance to relax is even more luxurious for a few girls.

I only spent one night on the island, and on the second day, I started packing again and prepared to return to Jolo Island.

They came back and forth this time, and after playing for two days, five days have passed, and it's time for the fleet to set off for Boni Country.

When they left, although the whereabouts of the entire fleet were seen by everyone, the five hundred knives and the heads of five hundred iron spears were transferred together with other goods, and no one was alarmed.

On March [-]th, when the fleet was about to depart from Holo City, the second batch of welcome personnel from Boni Kingdom arrived in Holo City.

To Zhu Zhanji's surprise, the person who came to greet him turned out to be a woman leading the team, and it turned out to be Huang Yuanli, the current princess of Sudan.

When the fleet was sailing mightily towards the Boni country, Zhu Zhanji called Zhang Qian and Zhou Hang, and began to seriously ask about the detailed situation of the Boni country today. Only after this question did he realize that he had misunderstood his thoughts at first.

Today's Boni Kingdom is not the same as the future Brunei Kingdom. The later Brunei Kingdom only has a small area, but now it also includes the northern part of Brunei, which belongs to a large area of ​​Malaysia, including the capital of the later East Malaysia. Kota Kinabalu.

And Kota Kinabalu is the stronghold of the Chinese princes of Boni Kingdom. Today's Boni Kingdom, like Sulu Kingdom, has more than one prince, and the two princes are regardless of size.

And it all started more than 30 years ago.

In the past, although the name Boni had existed for a long time, they simply belonged to a tribe, or a regional name.

The power of the Boni Kingdom has always been small, and the northern part of Borneo, where it is located, has always been under the control of the Majapahit Kingdom.

In the process of resisting the Yuan Dynasty, Manzhe Boyi's strength was damaged, and Ma Hemosha, the king of Boni at that time, was determined to restore the country.

At this time, I have to mention Huang Senping, the Chinese prince of Boni Country, who died in Yingtian Mansion.

Huang Senping's first name was Yuanshou, his style name was Changnian, and his nickname was Xichun.His ancestral home is Zhuxi Caoxiang, Xichunpu City, Licheng District, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and his father is Huang Liangfu.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Huang Senping first served as the guard of Heqing.Due to the important geographical location of Tengchong, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty sent Huang Senping heavy troops to garrison and built a stone city, which is called "the first city at the extreme edge".Because of Huang Senping's bravery and skill in fighting, he made many outstanding achievements, and was later promoted to the General Guard of Tengchong, Yongchang, Yunnan.

Because of conflicts with the eunuchs in the army, Huang Senping later became estranged from the imperial court, and led thousands of people from his family and township parties to sail southward to Borneo through Myanmar in the southwest to avoid chaos.

They walked along the north coast of Borneo to find a no-man's land without large forces, and finally landed in the Sandakan area in the northeast corner of Borneo.

At that time, the area in the northwest of Sandakan was the weakened Boni Kingdom, and the south was controlled by Majapahit, and they were often asked to pay tribute to it.The East is often invaded by the Sulu Sultanate from time to time, and it is not a stable area.

The newly enthroned Boni Sultan Mahmosha asked for help from the Chinese forces led by Huang Senping.Ma Hemosha married his daughter to Huang Senping, and bestowed on Huang Senping the title of Manaragana, which is roughly equivalent to the "one-word side-by-side king" commonly seen in Chinese novels.

In order to win over Huang Senping, Mahmosha also asked his younger brother Ahmed to marry Huang Senping's younger sister Huang Yuanli, and gave her the title of princess. The two regimes formed a close alliance due to the marriage relationship between the rulers.

With the hard work of Huang Senping and the Chinese army, the Sulu invasion was contained, and the Boni Kingdom avoided the fate of extinction.

In the next 30 years, the two forces have been inseparable and developed rapidly.The Chinese developed from Sandakan in the east to the coast in the north, and successively established cities such as China Town and China Town, which were later big cities such as Kota Kinabalu and China Lute.

In the first year of Yongle, Mahe Mosha died, and his son Hassan succeeded to the throne. Huang Senping and Mahe Mosha's elder brother Prince Temangong supervised the regent of the country. Therefore, Brunei history generally does not regard Hassan as the second sultan.
