Left a few officials and a thousand craftsmen recruited people to build fortresses and various fortifications, and trained Han people over the age of sixteen to practice firearms.

Xu Hao finally made up his mind to operate the old port into a solid military fortress, not only to establish shipbuilding factories and arsenals, but also to constantly attract refugees to migrate overseas and set up military academies.

A month later, Xu Hao's fleet arrived at Sanbao Port in Java. There were always amazing coincidences in history. Two hundred years ago, 20,000 expeditionary troops of the Yuan Dynasty came here. At that time, civil strife occurred in Manzheboyi Kingdom and the king was killed.

The prince-in-law Ktaraya surrendered to the Yuan army and used a knife to kill people to lure the Yuan army to attack the rebels. Then 20,000 Mongolian troops defeated 100,000 rebels and beheaded 5,000 people.

Unwilling to stabilize the situation, Ketalayas suddenly attacked Yuan Dynasty officials at the victory banquet, forcing the Yuan army to break through the encirclement, traveling 300 miles of tropical rainforest back to the coast, and after returning to Quanzhou, more than 3,000 people were killed or injured.

Xu Hao saw this in relevant records of the previous dynasty. Manzhe Boyi, like Annan, established his reputation by defeating the Yuan Dynasty army and thus rose strongly.

As soon as the fleet arrived at the port, it found smoke everywhere in the city, and civil strife broke out again. The people cried and fled in scattered lives. King Vikrama led his army to chase and kill him. The rebels fought and retreated to the dock.

Xu Hao had no intention of doing good, and sneered: "During the Hongwu period, Boyi dared to kill our envoys. How could he not revenge this hatred? He passed our military orders and slaughter the city bloody!"

The king of the country, Vikrama, thought the Ming army was a reinforcement found by the rebels, and was about to order an attack without hesitation. Unexpectedly, Xu Hao on the ship was even more arrogant than him, and he ordered to fire thousands of cannons.

The overwhelming shells covered the houses, and I don’t know how many people were injured in the collapsed houses, and the warring parties were beaten to cry and cry for their parents.

Mu Xi excitedly commanded the fleet to block the port and sent the First Navy Imperial Guard to land on a small boat. Under the devastating attack of artillery fire, he raised his gun and fired regardless of gender, age and young.

Then the Ming army sent a team of 10,000 muskets to carry out indiscriminate killings on the entire city, especially the Javanese wielding swords, who were all executed regardless of gender, age and young. At night, 100,000 people in the city died, and all the merchant ships of various countries on the port were looted by the Ming army, and corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into rivers.

Vikrama was so scared that she had already turned her head and fled out of the city. Her domineering and mighty appearance just now was gone, so she quickly sent someone to apologize to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao was not ruthless. He remembered how the Malays and Indonesians treated the Chinese. The excuse he gave was to avenge the dead officials. This is a high-sounding excuse in any country today, and even the people would only vent their resentment on the king's head.

Of course, continuing to kill will definitely arouse anger among the local people. You cannot start a full-scale war without a stable foothold. Any escaped people will not be investigated, and even if you run back, you will not be killed.

Xu Hao was not polite to King Vikrama, and he asked for 60,000 taels of gold to atone for his sins. Vikrama almost fainted when he heard this.

Nowadays, the weak Mantaga state pays only 100 taels of gold to Manzhe Boyi every year, and the Sanfoqi is probably the same number. The Sumatra state only costs 1,000 taels of gold a year.

Sixty thousand taels of gold are equivalent to 20,000 tons of local specialty pepper, which is equivalent to the national trade income of Manzheboyi for ten years. Vikrama looked at the ruined port and the powerful Ming fleet, and in order to save his life, he had to apologize and admit defeat.

The next day, Yao Guangxiao signed a compensation treaty with Vikrama on behalf of the court. He also asked Manzhe Boyi to ced the territory near the old port to the Ming Dynasty, stop collecting tribute from small countries, and open the port to finalize trade taxes and fees.

The battle emptied the family of the powerful country, Boyi, and finally Vikrama believed in the credit of the Celestial Kingdom. The one who sold the money first paid 10,000 taels of gold.

Xu Hao kept his word, and the previous revenge was temporarily written off, and all the Ming troops returned to the ship.

Three days later, the ambitious Bairimisura's suggestion to surrender to the Ming Dynasty was allowed, and Mantaocao was incorporated into China. That night, Bairimisura was unfortunately assassinated by angry guards in the palace.

Baihua smiled and showed her merits. Xu Hao apologized. Only the dead king is the good king.

Under the banner of revenge for Bailimisura, the Ming army eliminated most of the noble officials and 10,000 troops. From the Manchu Sect to Temasek, a large area outside of Singapore, which was officially the territory of the Ming Dynasty, sent envoys to warn the Siam king and announced that Temasek was an overseas province of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Hao appointed Mu Yi as the first temporary provincial governor, transferred 10,000 people from the old port and left behind 5,000 troops. Mu Yi was temporarily responsible for managing military and political affairs, waiting for the will of the court.

In Mantaga and Temasek, they were preparing to build a permanent castle and force locals to strengthen the city. Xu Hao wanted to build the Strait of Malacca into a general base for the fleet to continue westward, and prepared to move hundreds of thousands of Han people as much as possible.

Xu Hao's ambition is to make this place completely a Han Chinese world, and he will even launch a genocide war in the future.

The successive surrender and powerful force of Malacca's three powerful countries shocked Siam and sent envoys to pay tribute to Jin Ye. Xu Hao found that he controlled the entire strait much easier than expected. It can be seen that relying solely on force is far less effective than relying on strong comprehensive national strength.

In history, Western powers spent hundreds of years to conquer and control the South China Ocean. For the Ming Dynasty, everything seemed easy.

When drinking water and thinking about the source, Xu Hao was particularly grateful to the ancestors of the Han people. If the ancestors had not established a strong and unified Central Plains dynasty, what would the countries in the South China Sea recognize you? Magellan died cowardly at the hands of the Philippine natives. The Portuguese and the Dutch Expeditionary Forces had been looking for a place for thirty or forty years.

For this reason, Xu Hao spent 3,000 taels of gold to build a magnificent Huangdi Temple, and rewarded the entire fleet with great rewards. Without the strict organization of all the Han people, who were well-organized to work together, the trip would not be smooth.

It was not a one-day success to run the Southeast Asian region. Xu Hao stayed for a few days and embarked on the journey to the Indian Ocean. This time he brought Baihua to accompany him.

When the fleet was sailing on the vast sea, Yao Guangxiao walked over with a pale face, looking weak due to seasickness.

Hundreds of staff were busy making plans and analyzing the various information provided by Baihua, while Xu Hao sat on a chair and tasted fragrant tea as if nothing had happened.

Yao Guangxiao sat down slowly and closed his eyes to rest for a moment, recovered a little, opened his eyes and asked, "What do you mean? This is the common question between Your Majesty and me?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "The good wind will send me to Qingyun with its power. I said I will be planning to establish a country overseas. How about?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Although it is true that overseas countries are not barbaric lands, these vassal states are fighting each other, with a large population and a complex environment. How easy is it to establish a country? Besides, if you are not such ambitious people, you must have other plans."

Xu Hao chuckled and said, "I remember telling you that this world is not static. Every country has to strive for survival. The end of being self-confidence is the destruction of the country. With such a broad world overseas, how can our dynasty be indifferent to it? If we are only satisfied with the coming of the dynasty, we will sooner or later lose the opportunity, because other powerful countries will never give up on conquest, and will gradually erode the countries in the South China Sea and then attack our doorstep."

Yao Guangxiao said in a deep voice: "Except for the strong enemies in the north, how dare you ask where other strong enemies are?"

Suddenly, an old voice came, "If the master could live a hundred years longer, he would see that scene."

Yao Guangxiao hurriedly stood up and bowed, "I have seen the old man."

The person who came here was Xu Da, who lived in seclusion in Liaodong for many years. This is also the reason why Xu Hao was worried about going to Liaodong. There was no more suitable candidate than Xu Da. Zhu Qiaoqiao has benefited a lot in recent years and has brought the prosperity of Dalian. All the secrets of the Xu family are in her hands.

Before his death, Xu Da wanted to take a good look at the outside world, so he came with the ship.

Without Xu Hao's explanation, Xu Da learned a lot of history through Feng Wu. How could he not know if it was true after two confirmations?

Xu Da sat down and said leisurely: "Masters are knowledgeable about the gods. But I don't know that the person who presided over this trip should be Ma and eunuch?"

"What? Mahe?" Yao Guangxiao was a little confused. He turned to look at Xu Hao, and saw him smiling and silent.

Xu Da smiled and said, "Ma He went to the West seven times in succession. He was able to leave his name in history and became a national hero. However, except for leaving a good story in history books, there was no substantial meaning. Instead, Europeans later sailed around the earth and discovered the American continent one after another.

You don’t know that the Europeans were originally intended to find the wealth of our Ming and India? It turned out that the earth was round, and we found it from the Americas and established colonies for trade.

The United States of America was born on the American continent, which my old friend worshipped. It is the most powerful country from ancient times to the present, and the whole world surrendered to it."

Yao Guangxiao was shocked and asked hurriedly: "I dare not believe the words of the old man. How dare I ask me when I was the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Da said quietly: "It has been destruction for many years."

"What?" Yao Guangxiao's face changed completely, from pale to pale, then a trace of blood rose, and he said furiously: "How to perish? Please ask for details."

Xu Da said, "You ask him."

Facing Master Daoyan who had fought side by side and cooperated continuously, Xu Hao said helplessly: "The reason for the destruction is too complicated and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Anyway, it is exactly the same as the rise and fall of all dynasties. The emperors in the court did not act, the party struggled continuously, the eunuchs were in chaos in politics, the people were displaced, and foreign tribes took advantage of the situation. Like the Southern Song Dynasty, they finally perished in the hands of the Jurchens and established the Qing Dynasty."

Yao Guangxiao asked repeatedly with a complicated expression, and finally sighed: "So that's it. No wonder the young master attaches great importance to managing Liaodong and building sea ships. It turns out that it is not for his own selfishness!"

Xu Hao was so moved that he almost cried. After so many years, only the second grandfather Xu Da understood what he was doing for. Now there is another Yao Guangxiao. It can be said that he has a confidant in life, so what else can his husband ask for!

Xu Hao said with emotion: "One person's strength is not enough to accomplish things. It requires the joint efforts of many like-minded people, and what I want to do cannot be trusted. Fortunately, my grandfather saved someone by chance, so that he can understand who I am."
