My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji gave an order, and the management system of the entire fleet became busy.

According to the actual situation of Malaga, formulate corresponding policies.No matter in terms of writing, language, customs, year name, and chronology, a unified plan must be formulated.

Here, some things are ready-made, and some things need to be established.

Thousands of civil servants, civil officials, and literati all expressed their opinions, and finally came up with a rough plan when they arrived in Malaka.

This plan has not changed much in terms of diplomatic relations.That is to say, on the bright side, Ming Dynasty's diplomatic plan for Southeast Asian countries is still continued.

However, the tribute system, cultural exchanges, economic and trade exchanges, including the most important diplomatic power in later generations, have all undergone corresponding changes.

Now Zhu Zhanji can't change the number of tributes that Zhu Di set for the Nanyang countries to pay tribute every three years, but he can ask for the types of tributes from various countries.

Like the previous "Xiangrui" and so on, let me go as far as you can. If you want to send tribute, you have to call. Actually, whether it is gold, copper ingots, or wood, rice, millet, only these resource tributes , Daming will admit it.

The area of ​​economic and trade exchanges has not changed much, because the current pricing power is basically in the hands of Daming.Moreover, countries lack large ships, and basically can only respond to trade passively.

As long as Daming gets stuck on the types of goods to be imported, these countries will naturally move closer to Daming's demands, and they don't have many conditions to negotiate.

It can be said that Daming can live without them, but they cannot do without him.

Then there is diplomatic power, which is divided into countries with self-defense capabilities and countries without self-defense capabilities.A country capable of self-defense has its own army and can have a certain degree of independent diplomatic power.

But a country like Malaka was originally just a few villages, and with the support of Daming, it gained a firm foothold in Malaka.

Although today's Malaga occupies the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, its total population is less than 2. If it hadn't been for the support of Ming Dynasty to control Siam, Siam would have wiped him out long ago.

Such a small country that completely relies on Ming's trade and relies on Ming's establishment of official factories here to survive, giving them diplomatic rights is a waste.

Then there is the cultural exchange that Zhu Zhanji attaches the most importance to. This cultural exchange is actually cultural aggression.Although this kind of aggression will not use a knife or gun, it is far more effective than a knife or gun.

All the countries in Southeast Asia speak Ming dialect, write Ming characters, wear Ming style clothes, and follow the customs of Ming Dynasty.At that time, weren't they authentic Daming people?

Therefore, at this time, those civil servants and Confucian disciples are the most excited. Zhu Zhanji and the others have already done a good job of publicity, and they expect that the thousands of Confucian disciples who followed this time will stay in Nanyang countries to teach and educate people.

Even if each of them can stay for up to two years, they are not afraid, because more literati will be called from Daming in the future.

Zhu Zhanji is even planning to take power when he comes back this time.In the future imperial examinations, even if you get a Jinshi, you have to go to Nanyang for an internship for two years before returning to Daming to become an official.

Although this will be resisted to a certain extent, as long as the publicity is done well, they are not afraid of making troubles.

Everyone still has some concerns about this plan, because Zhu Zhanji has almost overturned the original Ming Dynasty's established policy towards the countries in Southeast Asia.

But no one dared to object, because now Confucian students are full of confidence in this plan.

As the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Jin Chun is also the highest-ranking civil servant this time. Of course, he saw the cruelty of Zhu Zhanji's plan earlier than others.

If everything can develop according to this plan, it will take only 100 years instead of 50 years, and the entire Nanyang, no matter what nationality, will become loyal subjects of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he is also the most active person to promote this plan. He is even afraid that those literati will not be able to figure it out, so he takes the risk of taking a herald ship every day, going to various ships to promote it, and explaining the truth to those literati.

It was also at this time that he got closer and closer to Xie Jin, who was also very active in this matter.

From Xie Jin, he also knew Zhu Zhanji's plan to vigorously promote arithmetic and symbols.

All of this, coupled with what Zhu Zhanji did in Dongying, made his original opinions on Zhu Zhanji disappear, and he regarded Zhu Zhanji as a wise man with a big heart and great foresight.

When the fleet arrived in Malaka, this time, Jin Chun and Jin Kuo, the Ministry of Rites and the internal supervisor united to set Zhu Zhanji's honor guard at Malaka to the highest standard, intending to be in front of the world of Nanyang countries, Establish Zhu Zhanji's personal image.

Zhu Zhanji is at the forefront of the flagship. Before the flagship enters the port, he has already seen the port with the most complete facilities and the most heavily guarded defenses in this era.

The entire port is protected layer by layer, with vertical and horizontal ditches, and with the help of geographical advantages, it forms a strong fortress.

Today's port flags are flying, and there are crowds on the pier, which should be welcome crowds.

Standing beside Zhu Zhanji, Wang Jinghong introduced: "Since the second year of Yongle, Director Zheng has selected Malaga as the Nanyang foothold of our Daming Fleet. Over the past ten years, this place has been built into the most solid water in Nanyang. The outermost wall is bounded by a wooden fence, the middle layer is built with a five-meter city wall, then the urn city, and finally the inner city.

There are 48 warehouses in the inner city, a total of 480. Each warehouse is separated by a canal and connected by a wooden bridge.Grain, wood, copper ingots and other items purchased from Nanyang will be transshipped here.

There are four gates and more drum towers in the warehouse area, and there are bells for patrol at night.There is also a heavy fence inside, like a broken alley in a small city, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The port area uses warships as the first layer of protection, with driftwood fire bombs in it to prevent water attacks, and 36 artillery pieces behind it, which can cover the waters of the port area.There are 2 officers and men in the Malaga Water Village of the Fourth Fleet, and nearly [-] family members. "

Zhu Zhanji nodded and asked, "How does the family make a living?"

"The profits of Nanyang trade are not thin, and the salary is paid in full. His family members have fields in the old port, and they can hire local natives to plant them, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Is there any family member engaged in trade?"

Wang Jinghong hesitated for a moment before saying, "It should be... yes."

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to drink water, relying on the most important material transfer point of Daming, if no one does business, it will not be normal.

What's more, the land allocated is in Jiugang, but now people are all concentrated in Malaga, which must be profitable.

As long as it is not abolishing the public for personal reasons, and harming the public and enriching the private, Zhu Zhanji is not disgusted with this kind of behavior.

Li Liang walked over quickly with small steps. "Your Highness, we are almost arriving at the shore, please go and change first."

Zhu Zhanji hummed, took another look at the water village and said: "This is an official factory that my Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money to repair, but now it has become the reliance of Malaka to resist Siam. My Daming, I would rather lose myself , and don’t want to lose others.”

A group of generals and followers looked at each other, but they were not sure what Zhu Zhanji really thought.

Malaka Water Village and Jiugang Water Village are the southernmost bases of Ming Dynasty.Since the establishment of the Old Port Xuanwei Division, two fleets have come to foreign countries thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty.

Because it is far away from Daming, after the entire navy of Ming Dynasty was reorganized, only here still maintains the original establishment.

In this era, there is almost no thinking of changing defenses.After the deployment of each army is confirmed, it will almost stay here for life.

Therefore, the families of these soldiers will be arranged to come here and take root here.

Along the top of the city wall on the flagship deck, Zhu Zhanji walked from the bow to the stern of the ship.Qingmei, Lvzhu, and a group of female officials began to perform their duties and got busy.

Someone was in charge of washing Zhu Zhanji's face, someone was in charge of combing his hair, someone was bringing the dragon robe, and someone was putting on shoes and socks for him.

In just a short while, Zhu Zhanji was completely dressed up.

Ma Xin came to Zhu Zhanji, blessed him, and asked softly: "Your Highness, are we going to stay in Malaga for a long time?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Malaja and Jiugang, wherever you like, you can live longer there. This is the center of Nanyang, and the surrounding countries will trade with me here, and it will delay some time."

She smiled and said, "Of course, we will go wherever His Highness goes..."

Zhu Zhanji will also go to Nanzhou, which is Australia in later generations.In his heart, he really didn't want to take them with him.

After Java, the route over there is not a familiar route, and there are many dangers. Whether it is a hidden reef or a storm, it will affect the fleet's sailing speed.

And now to explore Nanzhou, there will definitely be entanglements with the local natives, and small-scale battles are inevitable.
