When Zhu Zaiyao said this, he seemed not very confident and couldn't help but look at Ye Chunqiu carefully.

Ye Chunqiu was still sitting quietly on the Jindun, giving him a look of encouragement.

Zhu Zaiyao gradually became confident. If he had asked him to preside over this situation here, although some words were made to him before he came, and he had already made a secret in his heart. However, if he had to face such a situation alone, he would be afraid that he would have no idea, but now...

He slightly calmed his mind and slowly entered the state.

The eleven-year-old boy looked much calmer, and he slowly said: "I have Lai Yafu in my palace, and I have stabilized the overall situation. This time, Yafu made great contributions. When my father was in the palace, he once said that it was the way to govern the country. If there is no fault, it would be rewarded if there is no fault, and if there is no fault, it would be punished if there is no fault. Now I am supervising the country, and if there is no reward... it would be rewarded."

Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment. When he came, he had never taught the prince to say these words.

Now that he suddenly said this, Ye Chunqiu felt some pressure. Those who don’t know thought that he instigated these words!

But who would have thought that Zhu Zaiyao would have a look at the scene?

At this time, Zhu Zaiyao's eyes turned and said, "So, please write down this merit and propose the charter for reward as soon as possible. This palace will not agree."

These words are a bit like an emperor.

Wang Hua took this opportunity to go forward and said, "I obey the order, Your Highness, I happen to have something to report."

Zhu Zaiyao glanced at Wang Hua. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what Wang Hua was going to submit. Zhu Zaiyao said, "What does Master Wang have to say, but it doesn't matter."

Wang Hua said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, but today my whereabouts are unknown. I would like to temporarily respect Your Majesty as the emperor. Your Highness is the crown prince. In order to consolidate the foundation of the country and calm the people's hearts, I beg your Highness to be the country and to succeed the throne..."

Wang Hua's words echoed in the hall and made a sound.

When Wang Hua was solemnly bowing down, naturally some people were busy bowing down. How could the rest of the people hesitate? They clearly saw Ye Chunqiu's eyes sweeping over everyone, and they didn't know if it was an illusion, which made some people feel cold on their backs. Looking at the bright eyes, people couldn't help but think that there was an account book in the heart of this King of Lu, and who would write down his performance one by one today.

Even if some people who were really unwilling to accept it, they naturally seemed to stand out from the crowd when they saw more and more people bowing down. They didn't dare to neglect it anymore, so they had to bow to the ground.

Finally, everyone bowed and shouted long live.

Zhu Zaiyao's heart was finally let go, and he finally had more confidence in his goals.

……………………

On the Strait of Malacca, there is no wind or waves, and the wind is calm and the lighthouse standing on the coastline is particularly conspicuous.

This lighthouse was built after the Portuguese conquered Malacca. It is about 30 meters long and is painted white and is known as a white tower.

Not far from the tower, there is a port, with hundreds of Francois ships of all sizes, parked here, with all facilities at the port, from the Governor's Office to the Commercial Office, and then to the cargo warehouse.

It's just a pity that there are no ships to enter and exit.

Just yesterday, a letter was sent here, and all the letters were provocative. An ultimatum issued in the name of the Emperor Ming Dynasty directly asked the Portuguese to surrender and claimed that if they surrender, they could ensure their safety. Of course, if they refused to surrender, it would be a collapse of heaven and earth.

The four words "Heaven collapsed and Earth split" were translated by a local Han man with a blush. Because he could not use this idiom to convert it into Portuguese, he had to use more words to exaggerate the "anger" of the Emperor Ming Dynasty who had an unknown origin.

The Portuguese Governor's first reaction was to sneer and ignore it.

But soon, even worse news came, a fleet appeared in the nearby waters, intercepted the route and blocked the port.

This Malacca is one of the most important colonies of Portugal in the Far East and is the origin of the Portuguese spices. Not to mention, this is the most important waterway fortress. The so-called surrender is nothing short of a joke to the governor.

As a result, the entire Malacca began to enter a state of combat readiness. More than 2,000 Portuguese troops were already waiting in ports and fortresses. In addition, there were a large number of foreign troops organized by local natives, and thousands of them were also around. In order to prevent accidents, the Governor's Office even recruited a group of merchant ships, European sailors and civilians.

Of course, the so-called sailors and civilians are more likely to be pirates. After all, in this era, Europeans who dare to appear here are often not good at it. They have always been by any means to come to the East and seek wealth.

The Portuguese did not respond.

Then, the Ming Navy came.

Ships after ship began to appear. The lucky ship Zhu Houzhao was riding was only in the outer sea, while dozens of gunboats were actually fighting.

But Zhu Houzhao was actually not willing to miss this opportunity. Now, he seems much more cautious in military affairs than in political affairs.

He was always a little relieved. After several months of sailing, many sailors and sailors began to develop dissatisfaction and return home. Therefore, this battle is crucial. Only by completely crushing the opponent and giving generous rewards to the navy officers and soldiers can they rekindle their morale.

After all... no one doesn't want to return home in glory. Instead of returning in shame, Zhu Houzhao firmly believes that these people want to return to their hometown with glory and countless gold and silver, as well as the title given to them by the emperor.

Of course, all the premises are about returns and risks. Although the returns are large enough, if the risks are too large, they will suffer heavy losses for Malacca, which is not good.

After all, the Ming Navy had not yet undergone the test, which inevitably made Zhu Houzhao look forward to it and a little nervous.

However, the more the Franchise ships went to the West, the more Zhu Houzhao heard a lot of legends about them. At least in the Western countries, various undefeated legends of Franchise people were everywhere.

But for Zhu Houzhao, the more challenging he was, the more he felt, the more excited he felt.

After preparing for so long, wasn’t one of the things Zhu Houzhao wanted to become famous in this sea?

The more the Franco fleet is afraid of the Western countries, if the Ming fleet defeats it, the victory will not only bring gold and silver, but also a longer-term glory in the future!
