Chapter 1836: Do a big thing
Malacca is broken.?
However, when Zhu Houzhao really landed, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She realized that the Portuguese who once defeated Manla Kingdom was not as strong as she imagined.
The Portuguese who once wiped out 30,000 military horses from Manla Sultan in one fell swoop and directly slaughtered the city were only more than 2,000 people. Their ships had been seized, but in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, they were just a few so-called gunboats and dozens of armed merchant ships.
In this way, can each take control of one side and become king?
This made Zhu Houzhao begin to doubt life. From this point of view, the little brothers here are really not very powerful.
The governor had been taken over, his face looked very ugly. He was probably scared to death. At the same time, the local Chinese translators here were also trembling.
The governor immediately protested. Zhu Houzhao was a very honest person. He raised his hand and slapped him in the face. The governor who used to call for the wind and rain was immediately timid.
Although this governor is used to being arrogant, he seems quite sensible when facing people like Zhu Houzhao who are not talking about routines.
Zhu Houzhao has already made people hang maps of all nations in this messy Governor's Mansion.
He narrowed his eyes and continued, "The food here is transported onto the ship, and all the ships are all incorporated into the navy and prisoners, mixed into the ships to be used as coolies, and replenish the freshwater..."
He said, thinking and calculating, it was obvious that the food here was still sufficient. Although it was not as powerful as imagined, these Portuguese people liked to build castles and store grain the most, so they had a lot of spoils. I think these things were all from plundering local natives, which made Zhu Houzhao feel very relaxed.
Then, he slowly pointed his finger in the direction of Tianzhu and said to the translator: "Ask him, is their next stronghold here? What's the name? Moran or something?"
The general interpreter immediately passed the message to the Governor, who nodded with a wry smile.
Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and looked at the two men with a fierce look and said, "Now you are my guides, and the next place is Tianzhu."
There are many things in his mind. What he has destroyed now is just a small stronghold for Franchisemen. Since the Franchisemen began to go out to sea and arrived in the Far East, it has not been as simple as voyage as rashly. Ships of this era cannot continue to arrive from Franchisemen to the West.
Therefore, in order to explore the Far East, these Portuguese actually adopted the tactic of jumping frogs, establishing a stronghold in North Africa, and establishing another stronghold in the Cape of Good Hope, and the islands along the way, so in history, they built the stronghold in Macau.
In essence, it is through such nodes that the Portuguese ships can sail at any time and find the nearest port for supply, so that they can reach the ends of the world.
This is what Zhu Houzhao had in mind.
He whispered in a low voice: "I have finally figured out the way of the Franchise Man. Their ships may not be very powerful. They are definitely not sailing thousands of miles to our Ming Dynasty, Malacca, Moran, and here... here..." Zhu Houzhao pointed to one stronghold after another and said: "Look, this is a line. The Franchise Man passed this line and reached the Ming Dynasty. In this way, think about it, if I walked along this line, and relying entirely on these strongholds to replenish fresh water along the way, wouldn't I be able to reach the Franchise all the way?"
Zhu Houzhao's words are by no means false.
The most troublesome thing about navigating is this supply problem. Not to mention how much benefits you have promised, you have to give people food and drink water.
If you sail rashly, once you can't see 6 places and have a fleet of tens of thousands of people, if you can't get supplies, will you let them hunt on those islands?
However, all these problems were finally solved after Zhu Houzhao's new navigation route for Francois.
There are still a lot of food stored now, and the strongholds can be looted everywhere, which is completely enough for the navy's supply, and the route is ready-made. There is no need to starve to death on the ship like the early pioneers who cannot find 6 places like the pioneers in their early years.
The more he thought about it, Zhu Houzhao became more excited, and his eyes could not help but shine. He slowly said, "Then, our next step is Moran."
Liu Jin followed Zhu Hou to the point of the picture, and then looked at the position of the Tianzhu, and his legs began to become weak.
Go to India?
But what about the latter?
His eyes were staring straight at a position in the corner of the map for a long time.
Liu Jin felt a pain in his heart, and he almost said directly, Your Majesty is crazy, absolutely crazy.
Zhu Houzhao smiled. This time, he smiled deeply, as if his life had finally found meaning.
What else in this world is more exciting than conquest?
In the past, Zhu Houzhao was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and had only Tatars in his eyes. This is not surprising. With the size of the Ming Dynasty, if he bullies Annan and North Korea, it would be a bit ugly, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was not defeated by force.
Some people pursue wealth and honor, while others pursue promotion and wealth, but what do they pursue for Zhu Houzhao? He hated comfort and wealth, so since childhood, he wore Tatar clothes and learned from the Tatars to drink Mao Ju blood. He did not like tea, he loved drinking, and the stronger the wine, the better.
He doesn't like staying in the palace, but he likes to run to the border town. Even if the journey is difficult, he is completely fearless.
Therefore, taking the navy in this vast sea, life on the sea is actually very difficult. Once you encounter wind and waves, it gives people an inexplicable fear. No matter whether your identity is noble or not, you still have to suffer the suffering you should suffer on this sea, but... Zhu Houzhao just likes it.
Uncontrollable likes.
"I..." Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said word by word: "I will definitely do a big thing for people to see. No matter whether others understand or not, I must do it."
only……
"Pan Liu, why are you kneeling down again?"
He looked sideways and looked at Liu Jin in surprise, looking like he was invisible, and had already kneeled down clearly.
In fact, if it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's companion, Liu Jin would have been just a small and inconspicuous person. He was from a poor family back then, so he went to the palace to be a eunuch.
Being a eunuch is essentially just to avoid being hungry and to seek some comfort.
He was not very lucky, and he followed the person who respected the most and became a child today.
But……
