My Daming New Empire

These two competitions are also divided into different weight classes, but no matter which weight class player, as long as he can win the championship once, he will become a star player in the Ming army today.

In addition to these individual events, there are also team competitions such as knife formation, long spear formation, musket formation, and even fleet formation and fleet artillery coverage competitions.

When Zhu Zhanji arrived in Star City, the port area here was already blocked, and many floating platforms specially prepared for the shelling competition were built in the port.

However, after Zhu Zhanji arrived in Star City, the first thing to do was not to start the game directly, but to try the more than 100 people involved in Ha San's conspiracy, including their subordinates and family members.

His fleet arrived at Star City and docked at the later Jurong Pier, next to the newly built stadium.

In just half a month, most of the sites were still very simple, most of the barracks were not built, and most of the soldiers still lived on the boat.

After the welcome ceremony, Zhu Zhanji boarded his dragon chariot, accompanied by Wang Jinghong, and drove eastward under the farewell of the soldiers.

"Your Highness, your palace has been built. It is located on the southern slope of the top of Zhongnan Mountain. The top and foot of the mountain are military camps. No one can disturb His Highness's peace."

The so-called Zhongnan Mountain is not worthy of the name, because it is just a small hill.

But this is the southernmost point of the Central Continent, so this small hill took the meaning of the southernmost part of Central Continent and was named Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhu Zhanji's palace was built at the southern foot of the later Fabai Mountain Park. In order to meet the construction schedule, all wooden houses were used and scattered among the green trees.

In addition to the cabins, only a hall that can accommodate two or 300 people was built as a meeting hall.

Opposite here is Blarney Island and Sentosa Island, his former home, surrounded by military camps, almost completely surrounding the place.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the environment, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's only been half a month, and it's pretty good to be able to build it like this. However, this time, another civil structure hall will be built in the forbidden area, and it will take two years." , I am afraid that Grandpa Huang will also stay here."

Wang Jinghong responded: "The minister will definitely supervise the work strictly to satisfy His Majesty."

"Nanyang poisonous insects, there are many poisonous snakes. Use camphorol and realgar powder to deworm the entire mountain. In addition, order all soldiers to drink boiled water and take precautions against dysentery."

"Yes!"

A house built in a hurry is of course not in much better condition.Zhu Zhanji lived in the largest house, but it was just a three-room wooden house.There are more than a dozen wooden houses around the surrounding area, which can be used for concubines, court ladies, and eunuchs.

However, these wooden houses are hidden among the mountains and forests, which has a special taste.

Many eunuchs lit wormwood around to drive away mosquitoes, and many eunuchs beat the ground inch by inch to drive away snakes and insects.

Zhu Zhanji still likes this environment very much. Compared with the brick-wood structure house with poor light transmission, this kind of wooden house is more comfortable to live in.

The only disadvantage is that the wooden house is not as big as a brick-wood structure house, so in order to show the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty, it is still necessary to build a larger hall.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji and his party settled down, Li Liang came to report: "Your Highness, the Lord of Malaka, Bailimisura, is asking to see you."

"Gu is also waiting for him, let him wait in the meeting hall."

Although there is no direct evidence that Paramesura is related to Ha San, Ha San has a close relationship with Iskandar Shah, and even accepted bribes from Iskandar Shah. Collusion, no one will believe it.

But he is a lord after all, and now that their "prince" has been captured, he can't do it all in one go.

Moreover, he did not directly oppose Daming's sinicization plan. If Daming takes him down, it will directly put everyone in other countries at risk.

As long as the old fox is interested, Zhu Zhanji doesn't mind keeping him as the lord of the country.

Because as long as Daming does not make mistakes, he insists that the current expansion route and development route remain unchanged.Daming will become stronger and stronger, and its control over Nanyang will become tighter and tighter.

This is a general trend, and not just anyone can stop it.

Seeing Paramisura again after more than half a month, his already thin body appeared smaller, and his gray hair grew a lot.

All his anger turned into fear when he saw the tens of thousands of naval soldiers in Star City leveling the land, blowing up mountains and building rocks, and building water villages.

The establishment of Malaka was realized only with the support of Daming.Without the support of Ming Dynasty, any tribe in Siam back then could have wiped out Malaka directly.

Moreover, the development of Malaga is almost entirely dependent on Daming. Otherwise, a small country with a total population of less than [-] and only a few thousand soldiers can become a trade center.

Now Daming has set his sights on Temasek again. As long as their soldiers withdraw, Malaka will face annihilation.

He could see the decline of Malaka, even if he still paid tribute to Siam as before, Malaka was unable to protect his wealth.

Ever since he came to Star City and saw the scene of Ming soldiers building the city before him, he had already abandoned all luck and positions.

He knew that he was no longer qualified to negotiate.

When Zhu Zhanji walked into the newly built hall, Bailimisura directly bowed down in the hall. "Malaja's sinful minister pays his respects to His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhanji didn't look at him, but carefully observed the new hall.The wood used to build the house was processed in Daming, then pulled directly from Daming to Nanyang, and then assembled.

Although it is an all-wood structure, nails are rarely used in it, and they are directly connected with wood-processed joints, which are compacted by their own weight to assemble the hall.

After looking around, his gaze returned to Bailimisura. "The old lord, please, how can I afford such a great gift at such a young age."

Although this is said, no one takes it as true.

Bailimisura knocked his forehead heavily on the wooden floor, and cried out: "Your Highness, I, Malaga, have always respected Ming Dynasty and have never had any second thoughts. Today, the traitor Ha Sannan came to confuse people's hearts, my son. There is no distinction between right and wrong, helping the tyrant to abuse, I hope His Highness will forgive the guilty minister for the sake of the loyalty of the old minister for more than ten years."

The old guy obviously got the detailed information a long time ago, and seeing that things can't be done now, he started to pretend to be pitiful.

He put all the blame on Ha San, and described his son as the victim, and did not deny Iskandar Shah's fault, but only wanted to reduce the guilt.

What Zhu Zhanji is good at is insight into people's hearts. If he is an ordinary young man, he will think his words are very reasonable.

But Zhu Zhanji didn't show any mercy, because the old guy was still avoiding the important ones.

Zhu Zhanji smiled, sat down on the throne at the top of the main hall, looked at Bailimisura under the stage and said: "Since the 30th year of Hongwu, the old lord settled in Malaka until the seventh year of Yongle. The country was formally established. The reason why Malaga was able to exist was that I, Da Ming, negotiated with Siam and gave the old lord a sense of peace. Such a small country, to me, Da Ming, is only a county, and I, Da Ming, really look down on it .If it wasn't for me, Ming, who needed a transshipment place in Nanyang, why would I bother myself to support you as the lord of the country?"

Without waiting for Bailimisura to answer, Zhu Zhanji said again: "The small country of Er is your entire family property, but it is not in my Da Ming's vision. And you, since you worship my Da Ming as the upper country, you don't say that I am Da Ming. In other words, write my name Da Ming, you only want to rely on my Da Ming protection, gain a foothold in Nanyang, what do you think of me Da Ming?"

"Your Highness..."

Zhu Zhanji still didn't let him speak, interrupted him and said: "I, Ming, don't care about this kind of contribution! If you don't abide by my Ming's etiquette, from now on, you will no longer be regarded as my Ming's vassal state, you Malaka, Seek good fortune for yourself from now on! As for Iskandar Shah, as the prince of my vassal kingdom, he does not discriminate between right and wrong, and he will be punished!"

Bailimisura said loudly: "Your Highness, the old minister is willing to present Malaka and abdicate on his own. I hope His Highness will show mercy and spare my son's life."

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment, is this old guy really willing?But he figured it out right away.There are only less than [-] villages in Malaga now, and the main source of income is trade.

With this little land, if you only rely on farming, you can earn a few hundred taels of gold a year, which is already very good, and you have to support so many people.

In the past, Siam asked them to hand over 40 taels of gold every year, which was almost half of Paramissura's annual net income.

The arrival of Ming Dynasty brought merchants, trade and consumption to Malaka.If Daming really leaves, Malaka will return to the original poor situation.

And there is another difference, that is, the Bailimisula family is rich now, and without Daming's protection, they have become fat sheep.

Zhu Zhanji sneered and said: "The world is so big, my Daming will care about the land of Malaka?"

Bailimisura raised his head, looked at Zhu Zhanji with tears and said: "His Royal Highness, the old minister is willing to take his family to Aceh, and this Malaga is gone. I only hope that His Highness can save the child's life..."
