At the end of October, a northwest wind blew from the sea, and a sea boat appeared shakingly at the estuary of the Yangtze River and was about to dock in Shanghai.

On the sea boat watching the boat, a sailor saw a Ming Dynasty warship coming through the waves and shouted excitedly: "The Chief Envoy, it's the Ming Dynasty official ship!"

On the deck, a man in strange clothes appeared on the deck, looked at the sea boat that was driving, and said, "It's the ship of the Daming Maritime Inspection Department."

This sea ship came from the East Continent. In order to avoid Spain in the South Pacific, the Dutch merchant ship ventured into the North Pacific, first arrived in Japan, and then sailed to Shanghai through the monsoon.

When they set out, there were three sea boats carrying gold, but because they didn't know much about the waters, one was stranded and the other was stranded and the other hit a reef. In the end, there was only one and successfully returned to the Ming Dynasty.

A few years ago, Zhao Ming asked Zhang Yida to lead a fleet to Dongzhou, and then exiled some political prisoners who had disagreements with him. He went to the east coast of Dongzhou, causing nearly 10,000 Han people in Dongzhou to gradually reach nearly 10,000.

However, due to the harsh conditions and the disease, the indigenous people and the Spanish in the south have lost nearly half of the population.

More than two years ago, Zhang Yida followed the prompts given by Zhao Ming and found gold mines near a bay on the west coast and carried out mining. However, this move did not change Zhang Yida's situation, but instead caused a fatal disaster.

In the East Province, the indigenous people were still in the era of primitive tribes and were extremely scarce. After Zhang Yida and others mined gold, they found it difficult to exchange gold for materials, so they could only trade with the Spaniards who occupied the desert in the south.

Unexpectedly, this attracted the attention of the Spanish and joined forces with the indigenous tribes to attack Zhang Yida, causing Zhang Yida to suffer heavy losses.

Faced with the attack of the Spaniards, Zhang Yida, with the help of Zhang Huangyan, Ruan Jin and others, trained the army while joining the indigenous tribes that had a hatred with the Spaniards to resist the attack of Spain. However, the strength was very different in the end. The Spaniards took away the gold mine and drove it to the north and into the mountains.

But even so, the Spaniards did not intend to let Zhang Yida and others go.

Zhao Ming seized the Spanish colony in Luzon in Nanyang and drove the Spanish out of Nanyang. Zhang Yida and other Ming people landed in Dongzhou. They were immediately regarded as a threat by the Spanish and wanted to get rid of it.

Faced with the threat from the Spaniards, Zhang Yida could only send three sea ships, loaded with the gold, to the Ming Dynasty for help.

At this time, the inspection department's ship saw that the sea ship did not plant the Ming flag, but instead carried the inspection-free flag issued by the Han Dynasty a few years ago, and immediately leaned forward.

Soon, the two ships leaned together and boarded the boat. The inspectors led several soldiers onto the boat. Looking at the people who were wearing clothes and had a hint of Central Plains atmosphere, they couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Where are you natives from the natives? Why are you still using the flags of the past?"

On the ship, the chief envoy of Xincheng Kingdom saluted: "I am the chief envoy of Xincheng Kingdom, a vassal of Dongzhou of Daming. He came from thousands of miles away to pay tribute and ask for help from Daming."

After the fleet arrived in Japan, everyone was in Nagasaki and asked about some information about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. They knew that the Ming Dynasty had fought another civil war, so they just said they came to pay tribute, but they didn't say which side to pay tribute to ask for help.

"Dongzhou New Country?" The inspector couldn't help but frown and turned his head and asked, "Is there this place?"

The clerk behind him looked through the booklets and shook his head, but said, "In recent years, many great tribes have gone overseas, and it may be a new country."

Seven or eight years ago, after the discovery of the New Mingzhou in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Ming issued an order to encourage the people to explore Southeast Asia in order to encourage overseas colonization.

The civil gentry or businessmen can build cities and countries as long as the land developed overseas and the taxes paid to a certain scale, they can build cities and countries. However, the levels of these countries are very low. According to the division of kings, dukes, marquis, bons, sons, and men, except for the Han Dynasty and Yanping as the kingdom, the rest are the lowest male countries.

In recent years, Jiangnan's commercial development has serious land annexation, and the Ming Dynasty has frequent wars. Zhao Ming also focused on unifying the world. However, the internal contradictions in the Ming Dynasty were not fierce. Some of the wealthy and poor people, led a large number of landless people to Nanyang, established many cities, and new countries.

Several such vassals emerge every year, so many government officials have not had time to record them.

After hearing what his subordinates said, the inspector immediately issued a document and handed it over to the new chief envoy, saying in a deep voice: "After you arrive at the dock, take this and report it to the Lifan Department."

Nanjing City, the regent's mansion.

Zhao Ming summoned his subordinates and was busy dealing with the aftermath and dispatching troops to launch a counterattack against the Zhou army.

"Xuzhou is not far from Nanjing. I believe Wu Sangui has also arranged detailed work to monitor the situation in Nanjing." Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Now, if Nanjing is pacified, Wu Sangui will get news soon."

Grand Secretary Chen Mingyu nodded, "Your Highness will lead his troops north immediately and head straight to Xuzhou?"

Zhao Ming shook his head, "Gu Ruo rushed straight to Xuzhou, Wu Sangui got the news and must have escaped directly."

"What will your Highness plan to make arrangements?" Chen Mingyu asked.

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "First dispatch a few elite troops to attack Henan. When Wu Sangui withdraws his troops, he will lead a large army to cover up the killing, kill him without leaving any armor."

"If Wu Sangui is self-aware and learns that His Highness has pacified Nanjing, he should withdraw his troops immediately. If he still has fantasies, once the army enters Henan, Wu Sangui should cry!" Gu Yanwu said with a smile.

Zhao Ming changed the topic and said: "How should the cabinet deal with the matter of resettling prisoners?"

If more than 200,000 prisoners were not properly handled, Zhao Ming's army could not go north to deal with Wu Sangui with peace of mind.

Chen Mingyu said: "After discussing, I think the first thing is to be placed in dispersed placement. Those with less crimes can be placed in Liaodong, and those with more seriousness can be placed in Nanyang. As for the royal families such as Zhu Linyuan, they should be exiled to Xinmingzhou."

Zhao Ming nodded slightly. Xinmingzhou was already the farthest distance now. I expected that these remnants of the Zhu family would not cause any storm.

However, tens of thousands of royal families are all placed in Xinmingzhou, which seems to be a hidden danger.

At this time, Gu Yanwu suddenly said: "Your Highness, I have recently received a beating from the Lifanyuan. The year is approaching, and overseas vassals have come to pay tribute. One of them claims to be Xincheng Kingdom, from Dongzhou, and has come all the way to pay tribute. At the same time, I want to ask Your Highness to send reinforcements to help them resist the Western barbarians!"

"Dongzhou, Xincheng Kingdom?" Zhao Ming frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, his idle move took root in North America.

Zhao Ming stroked his beard and felt that the descendants of the Zhu family and Li Chengdong had a place to go. He couldn't help but say, "Where will the messenger be there? Xuan will come to see the orphan!"
