Chapter 1239: Covering the Sky and Blocking Out the Sun

Thanks to the book friends: "The wind rises, the leaves fall and the snow" rewards!

...

Managa is like a huge fishbone, turning the sea into a narrow strait.

When the fleet saw the coast, Fang Xing raised his binoculars, and all the kneeling natives were in his sight.

"Xing Hebo, Managaka was almost like a fishing village back then. It was our fleet that supported them and helped them eliminate the threats from Siam and Java."

Hong Bao was a little complacent, Zheng He's fleet was invincible in this sea area, and its rise and fall was just a matter of thought.

Fang Xing put down the binoculars and said, "Unfortunately, it is not convenient for Daming to emigrate on a large scale at present, otherwise we should first take down Manga and Sumatra!"

Controlling the strait is Zheng He's wish, and Fang Xing's wish even more.

Hong Bao understood that Zheng He's method was to help, to help sincerely, and at the same time to use a huge fleet as a deterrent by force, to use both kindness and force, and to gain control.

But everyone understands that this control is not reliable. Once there is a change in the Ming Dynasty, these small countries that have temporarily surrendered will find a backer again, or conquer each other until a hegemon emerges.

And all of this was broken by those 'pioneers' who were covered in stench almost a hundred years later. Since then, Asia began to sink slowly.

But Fang Xing's method is obviously more direct. He is looking forward to destroying the country directly, and then immigrating from Daming, turning this strait into an overseas enclave of Daming.

Maybe he is thinking about how to cast a fence in the middle of this strait!

Hong Bao only felt bitterness in his heart. The fleet's hardships for many years were immediately disliked by others.

Zhu Zhanji turned around and said, "This time, that time, look at the map."

Hong Bao leaned over to Zhu Zhanji's side, staring at the big map in a daze.

Zhu Zhanji drew a line on the map, from Kuwu to the Strait.

"do you understand?"

At this time, the shore became clearer. Against the backdrop of the kneeling crowd, Zhu Zhanji stood upright and looked at Hong Bao.

Hong Bao nodded and exclaimed, "Your Highness, do you mean to control all of this island?"

Zhu Zhanji asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No, no!"

Hong Bao's face was flushed, "Your Highness, if you can control it, then Daming... the east and southeast of Daming will no longer be a threat!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "This matter should be done slowly. Our purpose this time is to declare our prestige, and the second is to tighten the fence of this strait."

Hong Bao nodded, his attitude suddenly became more respectful, and he introduced: "Your Highness, there is Siam behind the people of Manga, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Shi Jinqing of the old port is absolutely devoted to Ming, and the king of Sumatra was helped by us. If It’s not a problem for Daming to control this place.”

Zhu Zhanji nodded in satisfaction, he needs his own team, from land to sea, he needs his own people.

Fang Xing looked at the shore, and suddenly ordered: "Lin Qun'an, fire a few shots to see if the gunpowder tide is gone."

Nima! The gunpowder is well sealed, if it is damp, it will be a big joke.

The artillery on the deck was uncoated, and the gunners began to operate skillfully—as long as the weather was fine, such simulated operations were performed every day to ensure combat effectiveness.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Although there was no ammunition loaded, when the sound of the cannon came to the shore, the natives were frightened, and some of them got up and ran, howling as they ran.

But another group of people knelt on the ground, shivering.

"This is deterrence!"

Fang Xing said indifferently: "Da Ming's fleet is coming, then the Manlajia people should prepare to come to see them, there is no need to remind them again, make sure they run fast."

The fleet stuck close to the coastline, and a warship was sailing. It rushed to the shore, and the hull drew an arc on the sea, and then returned to the fleet proudly.

"Little bastards!"

Seeing this scene, Hong Bao couldn't help laughing and cursing, looking extremely relieved.

...

The water system of the old port reaches,

The whole city is divided into pieces by the river, which can be called a water city.

A small boat made a light turn in the river, and then leaned on the bank.

This is the Xuanwei Department of Jiugang. After Shi Jinqing landed, he turned around and looked at his daughter with a smile, "Second sister, come up quickly."

"Here comes dad!"

Second Sister Shi was wearing a short jacket, jumping ashore like a kid.

"Father, the Javanese were provoking again yesterday!"

Shi Jinqing looked into the distance, and said firmly: "Their envoys should be arriving soon, your elder brother is waiting at the pier. But don't be afraid, when Daming's fleet arrives, they will be afraid, and then go beg Zheng Zheng My lord, see if we can garrison troops in the Old Port."

Second Sister Shi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Father, if we can garrison troops, our life will be easier in the future!"

"Yeah!" Shi Jinqing recalled the request to garrison in Jinling and was declined, and sighed: "But the old port is far away from Ming Dynasty, the cost of garrisoning troops is high, and we are poor, hey!"

Second Sister Shi persuaded: "Father, it's just that the natives are a little lazy. If there are more Han people, this place will not be poor!"

"Well, just burning a piece of land is fertile land. Planting some rice can feed many people."

This side is full of forests, those natives are very lazy, they set fires casually, and plant something at will when the fire is extinguished.

Most of the time, they are lazy to plant the land, and the abundant production of nature can feed people.

When Shi Jinqing thought of the current situation in the old port, his brows were full of gloom.

"Wait until Daming's fleet arrives."

This is a flat land, and you can see the sea at a glance...

"what is that?"

Shi Jinqing's eyes are not getting better, even squinting is blurry.

Second Sister Shi covered her eyebrows with her hands, and her whole body began to shake.

On the pier a little further away, more than a dozen Han people who were repairing the ship all let out an exclamation, then stood up and stared blankly at the distant sea.

There was a boat leaning against the pier, Shi Jisun was smiling and cupping his hands at the black and thin man who had just landed.

"Your Excellency has come to work hard, and my father will be here soon."

The man said arrogantly: "Our Highness said that half of the old port must be given up for our country's use. Is Shi Jinqing hiding? Tell him, hiding is useless. Don't think that you will have the confidence if you have Daming. You must know Daming ...are you despising me?"

Seeing Shi Jisun staring blankly into the distance, the Javanese envoy couldn't help being furious.

People with short stature already have low self-esteem, and if they are ignored by others, it is a great shame!

"Da Ming...Da Ming..."

The messenger turned around slowly, and then the whole person froze.

"Da Ming! Daming! Daming!"

The originally empty sea was now full of ships of all sizes. The two big treasure ships in front seemed to be like hills, making people breathless.

"Block out the sky!"

Even if it wasn't the first time he saw Daming's fleet, Shi Jisun still couldn't help kneeling on the ground, welcoming the most powerful fleet on the planet!

Shi Jinqing and Second Sister Shi had already run over and knelt beside them, their tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.

Second Sister Shi said: "Father, just let Mr. Zheng see the arrogance of the Java envoy."

Shi Jinqing shook his head, with tears dripping down his face, he choked up and said, "It's fine if you come, it's fine if you come..."
