Rebirth of the Four Seas Emperor

Malacca City was the capital of the original Kingdom of Manchuria and was occupied by the Portuguese more than 50 years ago.

After that, it became the most important stronghold of the Portuguese in Asia.

If we go back further, this is actually the Tibetan territory of Daxia.

Sumen Dala and Manlajia were both imperial military towns that matched the Xuanwei Division of the old port.

At that time, Zheng He's navy built city gates and warehouses in Mancajia to serve as a transit point for the Western Ocean.

Mansikaga was originally a small country affiliated with Siam. It had to pay a tribute of 40 taels to Siam every year, otherwise it would be invaded and its life would be miserable.

As soon as Zheng He's army arrived, they hugged his thigh tightly and asked to join the Daxia Kingdom, hoping to become a subordinate county of the Daxia Kingdom.

It's just that the Great Xia court would not be willing to take over such a poor place.

Finally, the Kingdom of Mancajia was enshrined, and the Western Mountain in the country was named the mountain of the country.

You can see the relics left by Zheng He all over Mancajia, but now it is far worse than it was back then.

Through the help of Zheng Tashi, Manlajia became the closest bridgehead from Western countries to Daxia, and it quickly became wealthy.

However, with the death of Zheng He, the Daxia Navy never sailed again, and Manlacca, which was the refuge of the Daxia Navy, was eventually captured by the Portuguese.

The Portuguese plundered the wealth accumulated over the past century in Manchuria, and also used massacres to wipe out all the original residents of Manchuria.

Therefore, there are almost no people in this city now.

During these nearly 50 years of rule, the Portuguese's rule here can only be described as miserable.

Or there is no governance at all, just a group of serious pirates. In fact, they are really just a group of pirates now.

Portugal no longer exists in the world.

Sebastian and Francis led Hou Yao to the city lord's palace in an extremely confident manner.

It is a pity that the current Lord of Malacca does not know Sebastian and Francis, but only received them because of their compatriot status.

After a while of chatting, he explained his purpose of coming, hoping that the city lord could come forward to persuade the Portuguese compatriots employed by Myanmar not to participate in the war against Bactria.

As a result, the Lord of Malacca refused immediately.

It was said that only the Governor of Goa, Castro, had the authority to issue such an order.

The city lord's attitude was very firm. Sebastian and Francis wanted to try harder to persuade him, but Hou Yao already roughly understood what was going on.

Although he couldn't understand Portuguese, he could roughly guess the outcome just from the expressions of the three people talking.

The Taungoo dynasty was able to quickly grow in Indochina, and I'm afraid half of the credit behind it was the Portuguese pirates here in Malacca.

This is the real confidence and backing of the Toungoo Dynasty.

on the atlantic

Matteo Ricci was worried every day.

According to past experience, some crew members will start to develop some strange symptoms after a month of sailing.

For example, problems such as sores on the mouth and tongue, dry and cracked skin, etc.

Starting in two months, deaths will begin one after another.After three months, someone would die almost every day.

They have been sailing for a month and a half, but so far, no one on the ship has been found to have the above symptoms.

This made Matteo Ricci full of doubts, why were these Bactrian sailors not cursed?

In other words, those strange diseases are not cursed at all, but diseases that can be cured.

Is there a secret that can cure this disease hidden on the ships of these Daxia people?

Matteo Ricci began to notice the differences between the Daxia fleet and previous fleets.

After observing for a few days, he discovered something.

First of all, when European fleets go to sea, they usually run out of vegetables and fruits after sailing for half a month.

Even if they are not eaten, they are almost all gone.

But these Daxia people pulled some soil on two boats specifically for growing vegetables.

Until now, the fleet can basically eat fresh vegetables every day.

Secondly, they also pulled a lot of beans to brew something called bean sprouts.

Occasionally, when the vegetables are gone, or when the newly planted vegetables fail to grow, they will eat bean sprouts to supplement their hunger with dry food.

In addition, the dry food of Daxia people is dry biscuits and pot helmets, unlike Europeans who mainly eat dry bread and dried meat.

Matteo Ricci didn't know anything about the making of dry biscuits and pot helmets. He just didn't know if there was any mystery in them.

In other respects, it's pretty much the same.

Intuition told Matteo Ricci that the secret might be hidden in these special places.

Just when he felt that he had found the right context, Matteo Ricci's heart was shaken by the two young sailors kissing each other passionately on the bow:

No, I also overlooked a difference. These sailors from Bactria are not as unrestrained as Europeans when venting their desires to each other.

They are always in pairs just like those of the opposite sex.

Europeans, on the other hand, like a bunch of people getting together and having fun.

He still clearly remembers the last time he took this channel.

A crew member who was on the same ship with him went to a sex party the day before, and was cursed the next day. He died very quickly, which impressed him deeply.

It took only five days from onset of illness to death.

Matteo Ricci suddenly had a doubt about his intuition, so he determined to find out if there was any secret hidden in it.

Quiet night with gentle sea breeze.

The boat had lowered its sails and was drifting with the current.

Two lusty and strong pirates were at the stern of the ship, draped in stars and moons, comforting each other's lonely, empty, and cold bodies.

Suddenly, the more handsome pirate who was under attack suddenly pointed at the tail string and screamed:

"Oh my god...who is there?"

The pirate responsible for the attack roared suddenly and rushed over. He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to peek at him while he was doing things.

"That bitch, I'm tired of watching you live. You even dare to peek at me while I'm working."

After saying that, he pulled out the figure and punched the thief in the eye.

Only then did he see clearly that the figure of the thief was the Yi guide on this trip.

"Damn it, it turns out it's you, you bitch. Who could be so boring? Tell me the truth, do you also have a crush on my brother?"

Matteo Ricci's eye sockets were swollen, and he lowered his head in defeat, not daring to speak out or explain.

In this situation of being caught and exposed, there is no other way but to admit defeat.

However, the unusual situation at the stern of the ship soon attracted the attention of others.

Li Jingfeng rushed over to disperse the crowd, and then glanced at him with disgust:

"Ghost, there's no way anyone on this ship will have sex with you, so just give up. Don't seek death yourself."

After saying that, he glared bitterly and turned away.

Matteo Ricci stood quietly on the bow of the boat, crying:

Almighty Lord, is this the test you set on me to crack the secret of the curse?No, your most devout believers will never give up halfway...

……

Longchuan City

Since Liu Wei was punished, most of the anger of the Baiyi people towards the Daxia court has dissipated.

Ji Wenjun struck again while the iron was hot and personally managed the government affairs around Longchuan City.

Including the planning of several new official roads from Longchuan City to the province, and the expansion of the city, a large number of young and strong local Yi people were recruited.

Then they opened restaurants, wineries, cloth shops, and clothing shops in the city, and reproduced some low-tech industries in Bao'an County in Longchuan City.

In a short period of time, Longchuan City showed a prosperous and prosperous scene.

These were all projects she invested in with her own money. When she was in charge of Bao'an government, she made a lot of private money.

The prosperity of Longchuan City soon attracted the attention of more Yi people, and many Yi tribes in the deep mountains and old forests also sent people out to inquire about the news.

Following this, Ji Wenjun introduced a new policy, allowing the Yi tribes to settle around Longchuan City.

As soon as this policy came out, it immediately attracted the response of many chieftain tribes whose livelihood was relatively difficult.

So many chieftains began to take the initiative to meet Ji Wenjun to discuss the relocation plan.

Now there are so many toasts asking to see her every day that she doesn't even have much time to rest.

But she is busy and happy, but the false prosperity created by such a large investment is not a long-term solution after all.

At the beginning of October, she had almost spent all her private money, and she was about to run out of rice to cook. If she ran out of food at this time, it would undoubtedly pour cold water on the enthusiastic Yi people.

Once the enthusiasm of the barbarians cools down, it will be difficult to ignite it again.

While she was worrying, Lei Xingguang led the Wugan Baoan Army to Longchuan City.

Originally, a normal march would only take a month to reach Longchuan City, but in order to open up the logistics supply channels along the way, they had to spend a lot of time repairing some blocked road sections.Erecting simple pontoon bridges or chain bridges can save a lot of time in some places.So it took an extra month to get to Longchuan City.

The original palace of the city lord of Longchuan City has now been changed to the lobby of Longchuan Yamen, where Ji Wenjun usually sits in the Yamen and handles official business.

After Lei Xingguang settled the army, he went to the city to see Ji Wenjun.

"Your Highness, your Majesty has ordered us to lead an army of five cadres to come for support."

Ji Wenjun was slightly disappointed that Hou Yao did not come in person:

"General Lei, thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest first."

Lei Xingguang hesitated for a moment, looked up at Ji Wenjun, and then said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is something you have not yet done, so I think you should inform Your Majesty first."

Ji Wenjun frowned:

"What else?"

Lei Xingguang took a deep breath and said:

"Your Excellency has something to say: Zhu Liang'ao and Chen Kun fled privately in disregard of military regulations. According to the law, they should be shot. However, because they bear the important responsibility of protecting the princess, they are sentenced to be beaten with twenty military sticks each. Those who dare to disobey will not serve jail time. Shot on the spot."

Ji Wenjun slammed the table and roared:

"Be brave. They were brought out by me, the princess. If you want to fight them, fight me first. Let's see how brave you are today. Do you dare to fight me?"

Lei Xingguang's heart was pounding, but Hou Yao's order had to be carried out, so he had to bite the bullet and said:

"Your Majesty said that he will personally punish the princess. If the princess obstructs the punishment of Zhu Liang'ao and Chen Kun, your Majesty will order this general to withdraw all support to Longchuan City, and then withdraw the troops back to Bao'an to stand by."

Ji Wenjun's nostrils were wide open and he was breathing heavily, obviously furious:

"You...you...you are so brave...so brave..."
