Chapter 313: Exploring Huang Qionghai
When Huang Qionghai heard Zhou Chong suddenly say such a tragic sentence, he was stunned at the time, but he still asked: "I wonder what the Admiral has heard of?"
"I heard that a few decades ago, a princess from our Ming Dynasty married to the Kingdom of Malacca, and that your King Alic is her son, and I also heard that your Huang family came with the princess.
What just puzzled me is why there is no record of the marriage of the Ming Dynasty princess in the history of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Chong asked with a smile at this time, staring at Huang Qiong and observing
His face changed.
Sure enough, when Huang Qionghai heard about Princess Han Baoli this week, his face changed slightly, but he seemed to be ready, so he lowered his head and said calmly: "Sir, for Princess Han Baoli, we are actually Huang.
I don't know much about the family. I only heard my father talk about it before. The reason why our Huang family was lucky enough to come to Malacca with the princess was mainly because our family was relocating at that time, but we encountered wind and waves on the sea, and fortunately we got it.
Princess Han Baoli's help, in order to repay the princess' kindness, we came with the princess to settle in Malacca."
Zhou Chong heard Huang Qionghai say such a reason that he was not leaking, but he was sneering in his heart. He was sure that the Princess Han Baoli must have a deep relationship with the Huang family, but now Huang Qionghai uses such a reason to put it aside.
The relationship is nothing more than worrying that Zhou Chong exposed that Han Baoli was a fake princess and thus implicated the Huang family. After all, impersonating the royal family was a serious crime. Even after so many years, the Ming Dynasty can still pursue the Huang family.
Responsibility.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chong also understood that he had thought it was too simple before. The Huang family would definitely not tell him the true identity of Princess Han Baoli to him. He would not admit the relationship between their family and the princess. Anyway, so many years have passed
, the people who died back then were almost dead, and Zhou Chong could not find any evidence to prove the relationship between the Huang family and Princess Han Baoli.
"So that's it. I am very curious about Princess Han Baoli's life. And if she is really the princess of our Ming Dynasty, then Alike is also considered a relative of our Ming Dynasty. There is such a relationship. I can help directly.
Alik resumed his rule over the Kingdom of Malacca, but I don't know if there is anything you can prove the identity of the princess?" Zhou Chong asked unwillingly at this time. If he could get some relics of Princess Han Baoli, he might be able to
Some useful information is speculated.
Regarding Zhou Chong's question, Huang Qionghai replied without thinking: "Sir, I don't know. When we retreated to Jinzhou, because time was tight and the ships were limited, we discarded a lot of things, including the Imperial Palace.
Most of the items in it happened to be the relics of Princess Poly, who are also among them, and have been lost for many years now. I am afraid they can't find them at all."
"Oh? Is that right?" Zhou Chong stared at Huang Qionghai with a meaningful gaze for a long time, and finally said again, "Captain Huang is a bit too arbitrary? Your King Alik, as the son of the princess, said
Maybe he will carry one or two relics left by his mother, and these relics may just prove the identity of the princess. If they can prove the identity of the princess, this admiral will have reason to support you, so that you can return openly
Malacca City, so this matter is of great importance. Clan Huang will go back and ask King Alik!”
Hearing Zhou Chong pointing out the loophole in his words without hesitation, Huang Qionghai's face changed slightly again. He did have some reason not to let Zhou Chong know the identity of Princess Han Baoli, so he said that there was no princess without thinking.
The relics were just unexpected that Zhou Chong was so smart in front of him. He even grabbed the loophole in his words at once. This was really bad.
However, although Huang Qionghai knew it was not good, he still insisted on himself and said: "What the Admiral taught me is that the villain was indeed too arbitrary just now. When I go back, I will definitely ask His Highness the King in person. Maybe I can find the princess's relics.
!”
Zhou Chong knew that the other party was perfunctory. Even if he sent some princess' relics in the future, it would be irrelevant and had no practical value at all. However, he also knew that even if he asked, Huang Qionghai would not take the truth of the matter.
After all, this matter may have involved hundreds of lives in the Huang family, so Zhou Chong changed the subject and began to ask about the situation of the Huang family and Alike on the Jinzhou.
Hearing Zhou Chong's change of topic, Huang Qionghai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew everything about Zhou Chong's problems, which soon gave Zhou Chong a rough understanding of the situation in Jinzhou.
Jinzhou, also known as Sumatra Island in later generations, is the second largest island in Nanyang, second only to Borneo. Because it produces a lot of gold, it is called Jinzhou by the South China people. In fact, in addition to producing gold, it also produces copper and iron.
, coal and other minerals, but I don’t know why, the waves near the coast of Jinzhou are very large, and they can even overturn large ships, so there are almost no excellent natural ports on the coastline of Jinzhou. In comparison,
There are only one strait in Jinzhou, but there are many excellent ports along the Malay Peninsula, such as the Malacca Port where Zhou Chong and others are located.
Zhou Zhong knew a little about the strange huge waves that often appear on the Jinzhou coast. It is said that this kind of wave is called "Indian Ocean Shocking Wave". It is often superimposed by several rows of waves, which are very powerful. It is precisely because of the Indian Ocean Shocking Wave.
The existence of the shore waves has made there almost no natural excellent ports on Jinzhou and the Java Island next to it. Even some excellent ports in the Strait of Malacca in later generations are located on the Malay Peninsula, such as Singapore, Malacca, Port Klang, etc.
.
The Jinzhou is vast, and the Kingdom of Malacca occupies only a small area in the middle of the Jinzhou, which accounts for about one-sixth of the entire Jinzhou. The remaining Jinzhou is ruled by the Kingdom of Aceh in the north, and the Kingdom of Wandan in the south.
, the territory of the Kingdom of Malacca is located in the buffer zone of the two kingdoms.
After Alik and the Huang family fled to Jinzhou, they settled in a small town called Dumai southwest of the Port of Malacca. This small town is located on the coastline of Jinzhou. There is a small town called Rupa directly in front of it.
The island just blocked the storm on the sea, so the port of this small town can barely berth, but it is much worse than that of the port of Malacca. Moreover, the population in the city is not large, both agriculture and industry and commerce are very backward. The Huang family is there
Life in the border is also very difficult, so they want to return to Malacca Port all the time.
However, Huang Qionghai mainly introduced some of their lives in Dumai, and also complained to Zhou Chong. However, Huang Qionghai also talked about the relationship between the Huang family and Alik and who is in Dumai City to take charge of these political issues, but Huang Qionghai also talked about the relationship between their Huang family and Alik and who is in charge of the matters related to politics.
It was very vague, but Zhou Chong could guess with his toes. I'm afraid that their Huang family has now controlled the political and military power of Alik, and even Huang Qionghai in front of him is likely to be the head of the other party.
After introducing the situation in Jinzhou, Huang Qionghai begged again: "Admiral, we have been forced to the poor place in Jinzhou in the past two years. Every year, the gold produced alone cannot support our financial needs. For this reason, we
The Huang family had to take out their own savings to subsidize the finances, but now they are almost unable to support them. It's okay if our army starts to make trouble because of lack of money, then our Huang family will be in danger, so the people
I would like to ask the Admiral to show his mercy and save the life of my Huang clan!"
Seeing Huang Qionghai playing the tragic card at him again, Zhou Zhong was unmoved at all, because he knew that the Huang family's control over the central Jinzhou region was definitely not that fragile, but his face still showed a little sympathy.
"Captain Huang, it's not that I won't help you. It's really because I am the official of the court, so I have to follow the rules of the court. If you can find a certificate to prove the identity of Princess Han Baoli when you go back this time, then I will definitely
Give justice to your king!”
Huang Qionghai saw Zhou Chong using Princess Han Baoli to make excuse him again, which made him secretly hate him, but he had no choice, and he didn't even dare to show any disrespect on his face. After all, Zhou Chong represents now
The Ming Dynasty also held heavy troops in its hands. If it angered the other party, it would not be a wise move.
Next, Zhou Chong asked someone to set up a banquet to entertain Huang Qionghai. Of course, he was not very kind and planned to drink a few more glasses of wine at the banquet to see if he could pry out some useful news from the other party's mouth, but unfortunately
Huang Qionghai is also an old fox with alcohol test. He drank a lot of wine with Zhou Chong at the banquet, but in the end he had clear eyes and clear thoughts, and he didn't look drunk at all. In the end, Zhou Chong was drunk and helped him
I returned to my residence.
Just as Zhou Chong was sleeping soundly at his residence, Huang Qionghai left the barracks and returned to his boat. It was almost three o'clock at this time, and the sea was quiet. Huang Qionghai locked himself in the cabin and drank.
After all, he drank a lot of tea just now. Although he had a lot of alcohol, he felt a little uncomfortable. There was something to do later, so he naturally had to stay awake.
"Dongdongdongdongdong~" A slight knock on the door suddenly came from outside the cabin, and it had a special rule, which made Huang Qionghai immediately stand up and walk to the door to open the door. He saw a tall man standing outside.
With the faint lights in the cabin, we can see that this person is not young anymore. His gray hair and beard keep dancing with the sea breeze. His face is inconsistent under the swaying light, making people unable to see his appearance.
