    ,

    The envoys came to the border of Persia and were warmly welcomed by the governor along the way.

    But after arriving in the capital of Persia, the situation changed a bit.  The nobles and officials were still very enthusiastic, but they never saw the Persian emperor. The new emperor was a drunkard, drunk all day long.

    Anyone who wants to see the emperor has to pass through the eunuch.

    Xie Yuan had no choice but to visit the eunuchs first, but the reply he got was that if he wanted to see the emperor, he could but he had to bribe the eunuchs first, and the money was too little.

    Xie Yuan turned around and looked at Deputy Envoy Pang Anguo: "We came to Persia? Why do I feel like I'm back in Daming?"

    Pang Anguo said: "It is still the Daming of the Zhengde and Wanli dynasties."

    "Let's go, there's no need to meet. Within ten years, Persia will definitely decline." Xie Yuan sneered.

    It's not just a decline, even the Turghut tribe went to Persia to rob it, and the huge Persian Empire lost its temper.

    The great nobles of Persia are very satisfied with Emperor Jiumengzi.  The centralization of power by the previous two emperors caused great headaches for the nobles, and now they just regained their former privileges. They wished that the new emperor would never show up.

    The envoys came all the way to the Persian Gulf, and after waiting for two full months, finally a Persian merchant ship headed to Southeast Asia.

    Still have to talk about the price, the boat ticket is very expensive, the envoy has more than 2,000 horses and hundreds of camels.

    Hundreds of camels were all sold, as were the horses used to carry the armor, and only the best horses were left to be shipped back with the ship.

    Just when they were about to board the ship, the Persian merchants brought a few "natives".

    One of the "natives" asked: "But the messenger of the Celestial Dynasty?"

    "Are you Chinese?" Xie Yuan asked doubtfully.

    This person has a Han face, but the clothes he wearswell, they are also Han clothes, but I always feel that they are a bit nondescript.

    Hearing the familiar Chinese, the man suddenly burst into tears. After crying for a long time, he finally said, "Angel, we are naval soldiers living on a deserted island, and we have lived on the island for more than ten years!"

    "More than ten years?" Xie Yuan immediately came to his senses, "Are you the first batch of envoys to Europe?"

    The man nodded hastily: "We encountered a storm, and more than a hundred people were stranded on a deserted island. There are also a few boatmen, but it is okay for them to repair the ship, but it is very difficult to build a ship by ourselves. After more than ten years of construction, we finally made it."  A small sailing boat. Governor Brother Deng proclaimed himself the governor, and he asked me to take people across the sea. Fortunately, we soon saw land in the west, and we followed the shore to the north, and encountered the Omani harbor castle. Oman  They sent us to Persia, saying that we could return home on a Persian merchant ship."

    Xie Yuan was not in a hurry to go back, and hurriedly asked: "How big is that island?"

    "It's very big, probably as big as several Qiongzhous (Hainan Island)," the man said, "We have already occupied the west coast of the island, and are conquering the indigenous countries in the middle of the island."

    Xie Yuan was dumbfounded. There are several Qiongzhou-sized islands, and more than a hundred Chinese are still expanding?

    In fact, the area of ??Madagascar is larger than 17 Hainan Islands.

    Xie Yuan immediately ran to find the local governor, contacted the Persian merchant through the governor, and got a few boats from the merchant to go south.

    All expenses will be paid in advance by the governor, and the reward is that a batch of goods exclusive to the governor will be shipped and placed in Chittagong for Persian merchants to pick up.  They must be rare and good products, such as brocade, imitation Ru porcelain, top-quality tea, etc., which ordinary merchants cannot buy with money.

    Xie Yuan went to visit the King of Oman first. The King of Oman was very generous and sent two warships to escort them south.

    By the way, there is a prince of Oman who is still studying in Nanjing at this time.

    Finally arrived in Madagascar, the original "Boyina City" was changed to "Wangxiang City" by the Chinese.

    Among the mixed-race children born between Chinese and indigenous women, the oldest ones are fourteen or fifteen years old.  There are also some teenagers between the ages of 16 and 20, who were the first indigenous children captured or rescued by the Chinese. They have learned to speak and write Chinese characters since they were young.  distinguish.

    In the complex river network around Wangxiang City, rice is planted everywhere, and many drinking water irrigation canals have been dug.

    There are many "mansions" around the city, all of which are the houses of big Chinese landlords.  The shape of the house is also Chinese. At first glance, it looks like a village in southern China.

    Governor Deng Youzhang led dozens of people out of the city to greet them. When they saw the envoys, they also burst into tears.

    "Boss Deng, you are tired." Xie Yuan said with emotion.

    Deng Youzhang quickly said: "I'm not tired, it's good to meet Chinese people. We didn't expect to be able to return to China, so we just wanted to know how our family? His eyes widened.

    Deng Youzhang nodded and said, "Now we can only pan for gold sand. Mercury is needed to refine gold, and there is no mercury on the island. I also discovered iron ore, and I can already make swords by myself. Many indigenous people still use copper weapons, and iron swords  conquer them."

    Xie Yuan said: "After I return to the country, I will clarify the details to Your Majesty. Your Majesty should formally appoint you as the governor, and then send you mercury and supplies. You are responsible for exchanging them with gold. Of course, the mined gold will belong to you.  That¡¯s up to His Majesty and the cabinet to decide.¡±

    "Everything depends on the angel!" Deng Youzhang was willing to distribute the gold to the court, because he could not get mercury, so he could only pan for some alluvial gold.

    Moreover, with the materials sent by China, they have cotton clothes to wear and a steady stream of ammunition, which can conquer the tribes on the island more quickly.
