The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 661 Han Elite
Sun Chuanting, who was born as a Jinshi, could not be considered a martial artist, but Sun Chuanting changed his opinion after drinking a few drinks.

The king's territory of Qiongya County in the far south fascinates the ambitious Sun Chuanting leisurely.

He really wanted to see with his own eyes a warship that could travel more than [-] miles a day and a night, and he really wanted to see the homeland of Jiaozhi, which is grown three times a year.

Zuo Shouquan went to sea many times, seeing Sun Chuanting moved, of course he spared no effort to confuse him. In the end, Sun Chuanting did not even return home. He left a letter and entrusted Li Zhongzheng to send someone to tell his family his whereabouts.

Sun Chuanting immediately took two young men to Tianjin Wei and took a passenger ship out to sea. Seeing is worth seeing. He traveled to "Huaxia Island" and visited Hainan Island.

He was exactly the same as Xu Guangqi when he set foot on the homeland of Jiaozhi. Seeing the flag of Ming Dynasty fluttering in the wind and seeing the common people in Hanfu, he was so excited that he cried loudly.

He later learned that the even more distant homeland of Ming Dynasty, the huge island where the Xuanwei Division of Jiugang was located, had been completely captured by King Qiongya.

Sun Chuanting was inexplicably astonished, knowing that the Old Port was only a foothold for the Zheng He fleet of the Ming Dynasty during Emperor Yongle's reign, and its area would not exceed a county seat.

What kind of talent must the king of Qiongya County swallow that island in one fell swoop and extend thousands of miles away?He admired so much and decided to go to "Nanhua Island" to see if he had a chance to visit Huang Sheng.

At this moment, he firmly believes that the king of Qiongya County is a great talent from ancient times to the present, and it is the pursuit of every Han elite to be able to expand the territory for the country.

The erudite and talented Sun Chuanting is one of the elites of the Han people. "If you don't see it, the Hanzhong army, the weak crowned captives invite long tassels;

The war on "Nanhua Island" has not completely ended, and casual travel is not allowed there. Only immigrants and staff can go there by passenger boat.

Sun Chuanting is a man who knows how to be flexible. He showed his identity in "New Suzhou" and expressed his willingness to work in "Nanhua Island".

Cheng Quangong held a banquet to receive Sun Chuanting, and after a long talk, Cheng Quangong, who was dull, believed that this person was a great talent, and he should belong to the list of talents that the head of the family wanted. He arranged a first-class cabin, wrote a letter of recommendation, and sent a soldier to accompany Sun Chuanting to "Nanhua Island" .

Sun Chuanting was just making a small plan, and had no intention of following the king of Qiongya County from now on.

But he is a gentleman of morality. Seeing that the subordinates of Qiongya County King are too sincere and enthusiastic, and each of them has an extraordinary conversation, he has the idea of ​​making a fake show.

Anyway, he is idle when he is idle, and it seems good if he can do his part to expand the territory.

Sun Chuanting came to the Huang family system, sorry, but once he came, he couldn't leave.

Huang Sheng invited Sun Chuanting for an interview on the same day, and one night, the well-informed historical master was fooled by Huang Sheng's ambition.

Huang Sheng commented on the deployment of troops, astronomy and geography, customs and customs, the predicament of the Ming Dynasty, the princes of the court and the central government, and Huang Sheng explained the advantages and disadvantages of the Western Yi kingdoms one by one.

The passionate Huang Sheng is no longer limited to Daming, but looks at the world. Sun Chuanting, who has a lot in his chest, was aroused with enthusiasm. He only hated seeing each other too late, and immediately expressed his willingness to work hard for Daming and to broaden the living space of the Han people.

The next day, Sun Chuanting took up the post of Zanhua from Wupinqian headquarters, and participated in the small-scale battle to wipe out the indigenous people in the mountainous area of ​​"Nanhua Island".

Along the way, having talked with too many subordinates of the king of Qiongya County, Sun Chuanting has learned a lot about the Huang family system. He knows that the king of Qiongya County does not value reputation and status as a scholar-bureaucrat, but pays attention to practical work.

It is a precedent for the Ming scholar bureaucrat who just came to join him directly to appoint a fifth-rank military officer. Besides, the Huang family system has no such thing as gentlemen and military officials. Very cool.

Sun Chuanting was fooled by Huang Sheng and wrote a letter to go home. Within three months, the whole family of Sun's family would settle down in Jiugang.

Huang Sheng was overjoyed to win Sun Chuanting, and good things followed.

Fifty merchant ships from "Huaxia Development" were escorted back by eleven warships. These merchant ships returned immediately after being loaded with copper, nickel, cotton, oil palm trees and precious metals in Africa.

The goods from Daming were sought after by the colonists, and they exchanged them with plundered precious metals. No one dared to accept the pricing from Daming. Of course, the pricing was very fair, not far from the price of more than a decade ago, and these colonists could make a profit.

After that, more than a dozen warships escorted the merchant ships back to the voyage, and there were really many more merchant ships. Of course, this was the masterpiece of Huang Mingdao, Guo Huaiyi, Wang Lianfa and others.

The "China Development" navy will fight pirates whenever it sees them, and will fight against warships from other countries. Later, most of the small countries were convinced, signed several maritime trade agreements, and the journey of trade and market development can be described as a success.

As long as these small countries sign a trade agreement with Ming Dynasty, they will become trading partners. In the future, their merchant ships will be protected as long as they pay taxes according to regulations when they come to Ming Dynasty for trade. They can join the Ming Navy formation in the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean.

The prestige of the Ming Fleet grew day by day, and the news that the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty had sufficient supply of goods at reasonable prices spread widely in Europe. Many unarmed Galen ships actually carried goods on the road with the Ming Navy, and the commercial prosperity of "Nanhua Island" was immediate.

Huang Sheng's personal good news came at the beginning of June. Wu Xiang and Zhou Kui came to "Nanhua Island" to report to King Qiongya County, and the marriage with Sichuan Shizhu Ma's family was negotiated.Mrs. Qin Liangyu happily agreed to the marriage.

The wedding date is set on November 28, which is the first performance release date of "Huaxia Development". This commemorative day will definitely bring double happiness.

They also made the decision to arrange the wedding venue in Nanjing. When the time comes, the Ma family's fleet of sending off their relatives will go down the river directly to Nanjing. King Qiongya only needs to take a battleship to Nanjing to get married, and there is no need to change river boats to Shizhu to get married. Beautiful girl.

This was entirely Wu Xiang's idea, he thought that "Nanhua Island" was too far away, and there were so many guests coming to congratulate Ming Dynasty, it was most appropriate to arrange the wedding in Nanjing, the middle place.

When he passed through Nanjing, he had already contacted the nobles of Nanzhili headed by Xu Wenjue, and Wei Guogong Xu Hongji had already begun to repair a courtyard at Wangjiangmen outside Nanjing to welcome the king of Qiongya County.

Wei Guogong and Qiongya County King are actually relatives, and Xu Hongji's direct sister is the old lady of the British public, that is, Huang Sheng's mother-in-law.

Xu Hongji is the admiral of Caojiang, a descendant of Xu Da, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty. His power and status are comparable to those of the British princes.
