The little yellow gate bowed out to issue an order, and soon saw a fat white man wearing foreign clothes and cloth decorations on his head and running into the room trotting.

He walked into the door with his robe, looking down at the ground, without raising his eyelids, ran straight to the corner of the table. "Boom" suddenly knelt down in front of Long Shu's desk, and gave a big polite greeting: "My little minister Su Duan Mamoto meets His Majesty Zhengde of the Kingdom of Tomorrow, Long live the emperor!"

Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Get up, get up, you don't have to worship every time. What's the matter here to see me today? Is the meals and accommodation arranged by the Siyiguan inappropriate?"

Su Duan's mother hurriedly kowtowed and said, "No, no, no, I am very satisfied. I am very grateful to the emperor for his kindness. I heard that the Ming Dynasty won a great victory in the southeast. The Japanese pirates in the East China Sea and the four major pirates who have been entrenched for many years have all been Jingqing. So I came here to congratulate my emperor."

"Hahaha," Zhengde smiled and winked at Liu Jin. Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and helped King Mantaga up, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the King, please come up quickly. The emperor has just received the report, and your news is very well-informed."

Su Duan's mother stood respectfully and bowed slightly and said, "Emperor, I heard that Governor Yangling was powerful in Jiangnan, and the Daming Army was invincible in power. I pacified the bandits in the six southeastern provinces, and destroyed the power of the tyrants, and was as strong as a bamboo shoot. The little minister was so happy.

I think that the Western red-haired man relied on his force to occupy Mantaojia. Now I see that my army is invincible in the Great Ming Dynasty. As long as my emperor is kind, it is not easy to send a team of people and horses to recover Mantaojia? I am begging me again to send troops to help me restore the country. Your Majesty, please ask you!"

When Su Duan's mother said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhengde picked up Yang Ling's thick memorial, which mentioned the wars in the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. It was just briefly mentioned and did not show off his military achievements. However, he described the importance of the Mantaska Strait in detail, and repeatedly mentioned the significance of this place to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhengde originally thought that he didn't really care much about the pirates occupying Mantaga. What he cared more about was the rebellion of the King of Shu. Since he ascended the throne, he has built the imperial tombs, the Great Wall, the Tatars in the north, the Japanese pirates in the south, and the navy rebuilt, and the national treasury has been extremely empty.

The Kingdom of Heavenly Prefecture is not only an extremely wealthy place, but has almost no influence. The King of Shu is the best reputation among the vassal kings and has the most financial resources. If he really intends to rebel, this is the thorn that Zhengde fears the most.

So he originally wanted to resolve the matter of suppressing the Japanese, so he immediately ordered Yang Ling to go to Shu to investigate the rebellion of the King of Shu. Now, news from Sichuan was reported that the King of Shu had been recuperating in Qingyang Palace and had no movement at all. The matter of full attacks would be resolved sooner or later.

He opened the memorial and read the ending passage again: "Your Majesty, going north to Liaodong, not just Shanhaiguan, but to the west to connect with everything, not only Hamiwei. However, the vassal states of our Ming Dynasty wanted to admire Tianyan, and the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty wanted to reach the world, but Mantaojia was a must-pass place, so Mantaojia should not be lost.

The barbarians are ambitious, and their goal is not to be a land of Mans. If the barbarians occupy Mans with force, their ambitions will inevitably expand, and the countries in the South China Sea will be in danger. What do the barbarians want to eat the islands of Nanyang?

Now the sea is boundless to the east. If our Ming ships can cross the sea, they must travel to the South Ocean. If the throat is tied to the throat, the throat is tied to the throat. No matter how strong the hands and feet are, they will be controlled by the people. Therefore, the prickly sea is taken quickly and followed the example of Ryukyu. The officers and soldiers who will always stop the ambitions of the barbarians and barbarians will be encouraged to only take a peaceful transaction. This matter is large and the relationship is long-term. I beg Your Majesty to think twice."

"Well..., I have thought about what you ask for, but the war in the southeast was tight at that time and I couldn't make a move. Now I'm borrowing troops from me, so I can't do it. However, Su Qing, the Western barbarians can also go from the sea. I have sent troops. If the barbarians are afraid of the situation, they will flee when my army retreats and make a comeback. What's the point? My soldiers cannot always go back and forth."

"This..." Su Duan's mother already understood the meaning of Zhengde, but thinking about Zhengde's words was also reasonable. Besides, he, the king, was originally a king supported by a bunch of loose tribes, and there was no strong army support. If the Ming Dynasty had taken it, it would have taken it long ago, and now the troops stationed in the army have no intention of taking him.

As for sharing the interests of commercial transportation, Su Duan Mamo knew very well that once the Ming Dynasty's sea transportation trade was opened, the merchant ships that were full of the straits would be like crucian carp crossing the river, day and night.

These maritime merchants of all countries and ethnic groups with different quality, different customs, and strong folk customs, will inevitably be out of control without a strong army and customs management. Any powerful maritime merchant who causes trouble will cause trouble, and the king will continue to run away. Cooperating with the Ming court is the best choice.
