Zhang Xianzhong's son was still young and was not as old as the ruler. The military and political affairs of the Western Kingdom were controlled by Li Dingguo and Wang Zhaolin.

Now that Zhang Xianzhong has returned from Ganchao, his son takes the initiative to give way, and the ministers have directly handed over power.

If Zhang Xianzhong came back a few years later and his son had taken charge, it might be another court story of a kind father and a filial son.

In the palace hall, Zhang Xianzhong changed into a scorching dragon robe, with a winged crown, sat on the throne, and was a little confused and caressed the dragon head armrest on the dragon chaise, feeling a little emotion in his heart.

Only after losing rights and freedoms can we cherish the present together more.

"I'm here to pay homage to the king! My king is a thousand years old!" Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Wang Zhaolin and others led the civil and military officials of the Western Kingdom to kneel down and kowtow, and Prime Minister Wang cried even more.

There was no choice but to do anything. After Zhang Xianzhong was arrested, he advocated not paying attention to Zhang Xianzhong and to make his grandson the Emperor of the West.

Now that Zhang Xianzhong is back, he can’t cry!

After labor reform and several years of house arrest, Zhang Xianzhong's personality has changed a little, and he has begun to be nostalgic and no longer as cruel as before.

"You are all dear, please do not have any tribute!" Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and sighed: "I didn't expect that I could continue to have a relationship with you. This time, our monarch and ministers joined forces again to create a victorious Daxi!"

The civil and military ministers stood up, Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said, "King, do you say that the Han Dynasty will offer us to Yunnan and explore the south, so that we can attack Dongshuo?"

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and then went away, "The emperor means to let us attack..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong looked at Liu Wenxiu, "Wenxiu, take out the map and tell everyone what it is!"

Liu Wenxiu then took out the map, asked someone to expand it, and then pointed to the map and said, "The emperor asked us to attack Bangladesh and Assam!"

Li Dingguo frowned, "King, the southwest area is densely covered with mountains and forests, and the army is impossible to pass through, and it is difficult to transport and replenish supplies. This plan is simply not feasible."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "So we must first conquer Dongshu!"

"The Dongxu Kingdom has no grudges with our Western Kingdoms. What excuses do we use to send troops?" Wang Zhaolin frowned, "This is not in line with morality!"

Zhang Xianzhong said: "I have already thought about the reason. First, Dongxu encroaches on three prose and six comforts. Second, Dongxu will not pay tribute to the heavens!"

After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed Dali, it continued to conquer most of Myanmar to the south and established the Myanmar Central Province.

After the Ming Dynasty drove the Yuan Dynasty out of the Central Plains, the Yunnan area was still occupied by the King of Liang of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally planning to resolve Yunnan by peaceful means through pacification, but the envoys sent were all killed by the King of Liang.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang furious and finally decided to surrender Yunnan with force.

In 1381, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Fu Youde, Mu Ying and others to fight in Yunnan. After pacifying Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty inherited the rule of northern Myanmar and other places in the Yuan Dynasty, and successively established Xuanwei Office on the periphery of Yunnan to control chieftains outside the border.

The establishment of the Mubang Xuanwei Division, the Myanmar Xuanwei Division, the Dagula Xuanwei Division, the Dewula Xuanwei Division, and the Desama Xuanwei Division marked an effective rule over most parts of Myanmar.

In 1446 AD, the imperial court adjusted its rule on the southwestern border, and finally formed the "Three Promise and Six Comforts", namely Nandian, Ganya, Longchuan, Three Promise and Fushi, Hecheli, Myanmar, Mubang, Babai, Mengyang, and Laos.

During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, its territory almost included the entire territory of Myanmar today. It can be said that this was the closest time the Central Plains dynasty was to the Indian Ocean.

However, with the decline of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Touo Dynasty in Myanmar, the three heirs and six comforts were all lost, and the Touo Dynasty also became the most powerful dynasty in Myanmar's history.

The excuse Zhang Xianzhong found was to restore the Three Propagandas and Six Condolences of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Dingguo and others heard this and did not speak.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said, "Three Xuan and Liu Fu were established by the Ming Dynasty. The Dagan legal system came from the Ming Dynasty's abdication and naturally inherited everything from the Ming Dynasty. And we are also a vassal state of the Gan Dynasty, and it is reasonable to have the claim of Three Xuan and Liu Fu! This is nothing wrong!"

Xu Yixian, who came back with Zhang Xianzhong, also smiled and said, "It is the duty of us vassal states to respect the king and expel the barbarians and to fight against the kingly barbarians for the Celestial Empire."

Li Dingguo and others listened to Zhang Xianzhong and Xu Yixian's words, looked at each other, and saluted them together, "I will obey the king's resolution!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xianzhong laughed with satisfaction when he saw this, "Then mobilize the troops and wait for my military orders!"

At that moment, Zhang Xianzhong first rewarded civil and military personnel, then mobilized 100,000 Western troops and marched eastward in a mighty manner.

...

The Luzon Kingdom conquered Johor but was not punished by Gan Chao, which immediately attracted Sun Kewang to follow suit. At the same time, the Western Kingdom sent troops to the east, causing chaos in Southeast Asia.

The princes in the Gan Dynasty all used the banner of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians and expanded their territory.

Whether it was the Luzon army, or the troops of Vietnam and Western countries, they had evolved in the battle for hegemony in the Central Plains for more than ten years, or at least semi-modern army.

Faced with these armies equipped with flintlock guns and artillery, the countries in the South China Sea were unable to resist. For a moment, the attacked countries were defeated one after another, while the countries that were not attacked hurriedly read out historical books, hoping that their ancestors would have some relationship with the Celestial Empire, and hurriedly organized missions to go to the Celestial Empire to pay tribute, praying to join the tribute system and get the protection of the Celestial Empire.

In Malacca City, the British had been surrounded by the castle for three months. During this period, the Luzon army surrounded the bastion and swept across the Johor Sultanate to the north.

Faced with the powerful Luzon army, the Johor Sultan army can be said to be vulnerable.

Pahang was occupied by Luzon and the Johor Sultan was captured, the Johor prince gathered nearly 100,000 people to launch a counterattack, but outside Pahang City, he was defeated by Zheng Sen's five thousand troops.

In this battle, the Johor nobles suffered heavy casualties and religious believers died in battle. It was difficult to compete with Luzon. The Johor prince could only retreat into the jungle to fight guerrillas.

At this time, in Pahang City, Zheng Zhilong sat in an exotic palace, accepting the worship of the Han people in Johor.

After the fall of the Song Dynasty in Yuan Dynasty, the people in the southeast coast began to travel to the Southeast Ocean. Over the past few hundred years, a large number of Han people existed in various countries in the Southeast Ocean.

These Han people are in various parts of the Southeast Asian region. Due to the culture of their countries and the different distances from the Central Plains, the status of the Han people is also different.

In Buddhist countries such as Siam, Zhenla, and Nanzhang, the Han people often have a lot of wealth and high status, but when they go south, the situation is different.

Due to the huge differences in belief and culture, the Han people often suffer oppression and discrimination when they go to Johor, Manzhe Boyi and other places.

After the Luzon army occupied Pahang, it soon swept the territory of the Johor Sultan. In order to control Johor, Zheng Zhilong summoned the local Han leaders.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong accepted their visit and looked at everyone with a smile and said, "You are all prominent families in Johor! This time I asked you to come here in hopes that you can help you rule Johor."

The Luzon State had fewer Han people and not many troops, so it was impossible to station troops on every island.

The cost of rule is too high, and the State of Luzon can only unite local forces to inform various places.

At this time, an old man said, "We are all willing to serve the king, but what should we do?"

Zheng Zhilong said in a deep voice: "I set up counties and counties in Johor. You are all county magistrates. You form your own county soldiers and collect taxes. Each county adopts a tax-holding system. You just need to pay taxes to me on time."

Many Han leaders were immediately moved after hearing Zheng Zhilong's words.

At this time, everyone in the hall was discussing, but Zheng Sen hurried in and whispered in Zheng Zhilong's ear.

Zheng Zhilong was shocked, but his face tried his best to remain calm. He smiled and said to everyone: "I have an urgent matter to deal with. We will discuss it later!"

Seeing this, everyone bowed and said retreat. Zheng Zhilong waited for them to go out and immediately asked with a black face: "Where are the British reinforcements here?"

Zheng Sen nodded, "Log in near Malacca."
