Chapter 1902 The gradually changing Ming Dynasty
His Highness, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, actually killed a fierce dragon with his own hands. After the news came out, the king rushed outside the camp within an hour to meet Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu was tortured by the military doctor, but after the trouble, his right foot actually healed a lot.
The king came in a sedan chair, and was intercepted outside the camp and walked inside.
When he entered the house filled with medicine, the king skillfully bowed and said hello.
"Didn't it meant? Well!"
Zhu Gaoxu was not a fool. When he saw the king appear, he felt that he was being provoked.
The king said in panic that he was unwell, and Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Don't be unwell? What does the sedan chair outside do?"
Fang Xing pretended to advise: "Your Highness, seeing that the king's face is pale, it is probably because he is sick. Since the two countries have a good relationship, forget it."
Zhu Gaoxu said some dissatisfied words again, and Fang Xing took over the right to speak. He smiled and said, "Siam has been eyeing your country, but fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has been stable recently, which has shocked those people. However... However, the Ming fleet spent a lot of money back and forth. Lord, your country wants trade or protection?"
After hearing the translation, the king smiled and said, "The Supreme Kingdom is kind, and Xiao Wang just wishes that he can't live in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so that he can see Tianyan sooner or later."
Fang Xing nodded and smiled kindly: "The envoy of your country should have met the lord, right?"
The king nodded. He had already known that the Ming Dynasty had changed two emperors within two years, so he thought that there would be some struggle within the Ming Dynasty, so he was a little more despised.
As a result, after the news of Zhu Gaoxu's personal arrival came, especially the arrival of Fang Xing, which made him almost feel like he was in a state of rupture.
He may not know Fang Xing's prominent past, but after the envoy's words, he could no longer sit still.
That's a demon!
Fang Xing was still dizzy. He rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that it was not very symptom of seasickness, and then said: "The goods brought this time are all on the ship. Let's go and see them tomorrow. Record whatever they want, and then exchange them for gold and silver."
The king smiled bitterly and said, "Xinghe Bo, I don't have much gold and silver in my country!"
"Then use tin."
There is a tin mine in Manlacia, and it is in the hands of the king.
The king hesitated for a moment and said, "That's the money of the despise country, Xinghe Bo..."
"Share you can change as much as you can."
The king's face was dull and then asked, "Xinghe Bo, where is the fragrance?"
Malacca produces several kinds of incense, as well as ebony.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Yes, but the share must be controlled below 30%.
The king stood up in disappointment and said goodbye. Fang Xing sent him out. After returning, Zhu Gaoxu took off his boots without any image. When he saw him coming in, he asked, "Will it be destroyed?"
Fang Xing said angrily: "Then Your Majesty is a tyrant!"
These small countries are all obedient, and the Ming Dynasty needs Malacca to block Siam. No, it is considered to be a restraint.
"If a great country wants to rise, it is not a good way to be tough. The Ming Dynasty had wise men, invincible and fearless army, wise kings, and hard-working people. With these, what are we afraid of?"
Zhu Gaoxu said disdainfully: "Simple things will cause headaches for people. What is the difference between you and those civil servants?"
Fang Xing took a sip of tea and the water quality was not good. He frowned and said, "This is not simple. It is impossible for only wise people to exist in this world. Therefore, if you want to maintain the authority of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, you must use both soft and hard methods and formulate strategies based on your own national strength."
"It is refreshing to be tough, but it can also lead to a disgrace. Maybe this can temporarily suppress overseas, but have you ever thought about it? When there are a group of unwilling people and ambitious people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of feeling is good?"
"Just kill it!"
Zhu Gaoxu’s strategy is to have a hard bridge and a hard horse, and everyone just lets the horse over.
Fang Xing heard the noisy sound from outside, and knew that the dragons were brought in, so he stood up and said, "The world is so big that it is beyond your imagination. Among them, there are friends from the Ming Dynasty and enemies from the Ming Dynasty. What we need is to unite those friends, yes, unite them."
Fang Xing said justice, but Zhu Gaoxu just sneered: "How many have you destroyed the country?"
Fang Xing coughed dryly and said, "This is one time and another!"
As he said that, he was about to go out. Zhu Gaoxu said contemptuously behind him: "I see that you are as good as those civil servants with the nine-turn large intestines, and they are shameless."
Fang Xing didn't look back and waved his hand, then left the room.
As soon as I went out, I saw those carriages, carrying huge dragons on the carriage. The carriage came slowly with difficulty, and the two horses pulled the carriages were a little unstable.
The long tail of the dragon was dragged to the ground, leaving a deep trace behind it.
Wang He changed his clothes and said happily when he saw this: "Xinghe Bo, how to fix this thing?"
Fang Xing had never eaten it. He was struggling for a moment and ordered: "Skin it first and clean the internal organs."
The natives outside the camp could not come in, so they watched the Ming army use various knives to dissect the crocodile.
The scene was bloody. When the tender red meat was exposed, Fang Xing felt relieved and said, "Wash it, then cut it into pieces, and eat braised croaker meat in the camp today!"
Unexpected cheers, Wu Yue muttered: "Brother, this is a dragon, can it be eaten? Don't be poisonous or have any retribution?"
Fang Xing turned around and kicked him, staggering, cursing: "What kind of bullshit poison, what kind of retribution? I'll take it first when I turn around!"
After Wu Yue stood firm, he laughed and said, "Don't, uncle, the officials should eat first, and the officials should eat first."
Fang Xing felt a little guilty. He had heard of eating crocodile meat in his previous life, but he had never seen it himself and did not know how to do it.
But it is definitely impossible to be toxic.
“Braised braised braised!”
A crocodile dragon has more than a thousand kilograms, and a bunch of crocodile dragons are untied, and the meat is really piled up like a mountain.
Fang Xing saw that the meat mountain was helpless, so he greeted the chef and then broke down the task.
"Master, I'm afraid each person has three or four kilograms of meat!"
Fang Xing looked up, squinted his eyes and looked at the scorching sun, and said, "The excess is made into jerky."
The fleet's supply was very troublesome. After leaving Taiping Port, some food could be replenished along the way, but it was difficult to eat meat, so these croaker meat was an unexpected supplement.
"Zheng He's fleet has reached Tianfang, right?"
Fang Xing was calculating the time. There was a team of scouts on Zheng He's fleet. They would land on the Tianfang coastline and go deeper to inquire about information from all parties.
"My uncle, we can actually land in a blatant and take a look."
This was the first time Fu Xian took the fleet out of Xiaoliuqiu, so he was eager for a chance to make achievements.
Fang Xing shook his head: "The situation over there is complicated. The meat fan, Halie, and the two sheep are there. With the cunning Tianfang people, rash intervention can easily lead to unexpected results."
What Fang Xing is most worried about is to trigger the urge to expand the meat in advance, which will cause a chain reaction, and the Thais will definitely change accordingly.
He hopes that the Taixi people will continue to fight, until the end of time and until the mountains and rivers are broken, so as to make time for the Ming Dynasty to clean up the surrounding areas.
The smell of meat gradually began to spread, and the sergeants and sailors in the camp were sucking their noses. What is the saying that the dragon was poisonous? At this moment, under the temptation of this fragrance, the smoke disappeared.
...
Tianfang, Zheng He and his men came to the shore. Tianfang people who had been notified had rushed to the beach to participate in the once-in-a-year commercial gathering.
