After Wang Hong recovered Tuen Mun Island, he did not destroy the facilities and firearm manufacturing base built by the Flangers on Tuen Mun Island, but directly established Tuen Mun as the Ming Navy Base under the will of Zhu Houzhao.

The Ming Dynasty stationed a hundred households in Tuen Mun, where the fourth-class sailing battleship "Baoding" was anchored.

At the same time, all the craftsmen who made firearms for the Folang Jiren were re-employed by the Ming government and continued to make firearms for the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the occupation of Tuen Mun Island by the Florians was a wedding dress for Daming, which allowed the Ming Navy to easily add a naval base at the Pearl River Estuary.

Not only that, the Jinyiwei has now been ordered to successfully receive the envoy of the Prince of Manraka, Prince Bintang, and Duke Mu Hanmode, into the capital, which clearly shows that the Ming Dynasty was going to interfere with the destruction of the Malacca by the Polangji.

Moreover, this time, the Ming Dynasty was going to take the initiative to interfere in the demise of the Malacca and take this opportunity to regain control of the Ming Dynasty's maritime transportation in Southeast Asia!

Since Zheng He voyage to the West, the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict maritime ban policy and voluntarily gave up its control of its maritime transportation in the South China Sea. This was also when the civil servant group began to take power. It can be said that it was the stupid scholars who turned the Ming Dynasty into a closed empire, which caused the Ming Dynasty to lose its previous control of the sea route from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean and even the Red Sea.

If this were not the case, the Malaga would not have been easily destroyed by the Praj.

Of course, although the destruction of the Malacca affected the interests of the Ming Dynasty, it was not worthy of being pitiful.

Because after establishing Malacca, Bairimi Sultan of Manlacca had been trying to get rid of the Ming Dynasty's control over him, and did not even choose the Confucian model of establishing a country. Instead, he made his country idiosyncratic. He even called his identity a king but a sultan, and he was more respectful to the Persians. This was also one of the reasons why the Ming merchants helped Franji occupy Malacca.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's decision to allow the Ming Dynasty to interfere with the destruction of the Malacca this time was not only to regain control of the sea transport in the South China Sea, but also to re-establish the Oriental Civilization Order. He wanted to transfer Confucian Neo-Confucianism from domestic sales to export.

"Dear Emperor of Ming Dynasty! The Folangji from the West is a group of robbers. They ignore the dignity of the Celestial Empire and only know how to burn, kill, plunder, and slaughter countless people in our country. I beg His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to make the decision for us!"

At this moment, when Hanmode saw Zhu Houzhao in the main hall, he started to cry first, and told Polangji's atrocities in Manraga word by word.

Zhu Houzhao naturally had already learned about the atrocities of Folangji in Malacca through the Jinyiwei system, so he was not very excited when he heard Mu Hanmode's speech. However, it was extremely shocking to the court officials present, because it was the first time they knew about the atrocities of Western colonists. In the eyes of these literati and officials who lived in the prosperous Ming Dynasty, Folangji's behavior was simply untolerable cruelty.

Therefore, at this time, Liu Yu, the Minister of War who had entered the cabinet, couldn't help but express his opinion: "Your Majesty! This Folang Ji is just a mustard country, but has repeatedly challenged the majesty of the Celestial Empire. Now it has destroyed our vassals of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is a snake-scorpion heart. If it is not punished, it will not be enough to show the prestige of our great country!"

"I also think that the punishment of Bolangji is to be punished. Such a barbarian country is rude and can only kill people and set fire. It is not a tribute to the Ming Dynasty. It should not be respected! However, Your Majesty intends to recruit his king envoys as Ming officials. I think it is impossible. Now the incident in Malaga has shown that this Bolangji country should be cut off from diplomatic relations! The envoys he sent should also be held as hostages and force the Bolangji country to return to the territory of Malaga. Otherwise, as the sect leader, the Ming Dynasty should execute these Bolangji robbers for Malaga!"

Hong Zhong, the Minister of Justice, said at this time.

Zhu Houzhao could see that many of the scholars and officials in the Ming Dynasty are now people with their eyebrows raised. They have no experience of humiliation in a century and have a disdain for foreign countries, and they are disdainful in their bones!

So much so that after hearing the atrocities of Florji in Malacca, what he thought of was not how Florji as a Western country could expedition to Malacca and destroy Malacca and thus felt a sense of crisis. Instead, he contempt for Florji's primitive capital plundering, and even directly clamoring to punish Florji.

"Report! Lin Ting, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, selected 800 miles to report in an urgent manner. The deputy envoy of Guangdong Censor has been ordered to lead a unit of Guangdong and Guangxi Navy to recover Tuen Mun and captured 231 Folang Jimen! The navy has no casualties! And he has been ordered to include them in the Daming Sea Trade Company. The captured warships and firearms and cannons have been shipped back to Beijing!"

At this time, the war report from Guangdong and Guangxi came, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be very happy and ordered: "Daily official, record that at this moment, the Ming Dynasty did not lose in the first battle against the Western colonists, and it was a great victory! Therefore, in the face of the invasion of Western civilization, the Ming Dynasty was not vulnerable! It was not even weak!"

Zhu Houzhao was very happy because although the military significance of the Tuen Mun Naval Battle was not very great, its political and historical significance was actually very great. He had to record it and record it in a way that the central court attached great importance to it, so as to tell later people that the Ming Dynasty did not lag behind this world!

However, the scholars and officials at this time obviously did not understand why His Majesty the Emperor valued this victory so much. In their opinion, the victory of reviving Tuen Mun was not worth mentioning at all.

"Your Majesty, although the Kingdom of Folangji can destroy the Manraka, it is just like a pirate. I think that the victory of our Celestial Navy is like suppressing bandits, which should not be a big deal to remember!"

The Hanlin Academy’s Parliament Bian Gong stood up and made a comeback.

"I think the country of Folangji is just a barbarian. How can its military strength be compared with our Ming Dynasty? It is not a big deal to defeat Tuen Mun. Why should I report it to you with an urgent eight hundred miles!"

Tang Ren also reported this to the officials and officials.

Zhu Houzhao knew that these civil servants in the Ming Dynasty did not promote martial arts and had their own selfish intentions, but he had to admit that this was related to the fact that these civil servants did not know what kind of current situation they were facing. These civil servants were not time travelers and had no memories of later generations. Naturally, they did not know what kind of existence Western colonists would have in the next few hundred years. Therefore, at this moment, these civil servants were confident and were still immersed in their dream of being the country of the Celestial Empire.

Therefore, when the victory of reviving Tuen Mun reached their ears, the civil servants were not very happy, nor did they realize the meaning of it.

Zhu Houzhao also felt that the civil servants and officials of this era were very happy. They had no idea how stupid they were, but instead felt that they were the most wise and the most contributed to the empire.

"Persistence brings harm, humility benefits. Although the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the world and dominates the world, it is only a corner of the earth. Although the Kingdom of Folangji is just a small mustard country, and is far west of the ocean, it can destroy the Manraka and even invade our Ming Dynasty. Let me ask, how can such a barbarian be underestimated? Can the Ming Dynasty have such ability?"

Zhu Houzhao feels like he is a clown who admires foreign countries and is the real patriots at this moment, because he has always been the mighty of destroying the Ming Dynasty in Changfolangji's ambition, and these civil servants happen to grow up with the ambition of destroying the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Houzhao's purpose is just to remind people of this era that Western colonists are not external forces that can be despised.

"Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty travels across the oceans more than just destroying a country. When the Three Treasures went to the West seven times and quelled the various chaos along the coasts, it was unknown how many people would slap the chaos in the coastal areas! Now the Ming Zhijiang Shipyard has been rebuilt, and there are countless skilled ship workers, which is nothing more than going to the West again!"

At this time, Ye Heng, the Minister of Works, stood up and replied ignorantly.

"Also, my Ming Dynasty went to the West to follow the benevolence and morality, and all countries admired it! Now these Folangji people are just robbers, slaughtering and robbing, and destroying other countries' policies, which make people hate and are extremely barbaric! How can they be compared with the benevolent and righteous teachers of our country's heavenly dynasty!"

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a moment. He found that he could not use any argument to dispel the cultural confidence and national confidence of the Ming people in this era. Even if he had brought out the most powerful maritime achievements in the West, these scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty could refute the brilliant achievements of the dynasty.

"Although the Ming Dynasty can do this, can it work if it is replaced by Dayuan? If a certain group of fishing, hunting, riding and shooting will seize the world in the future, can they set sail in the world like the Ming Dynasty? By then, Rufolangji has occupied the entire land through the advantage of the sea. Will my Ming Dynasty be its opponent?"

Zhu Houzhao asked, and he could not directly say that if the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Ming Dynasty in the future, he would only make an example.

"Your Majesty, don't worry so much. How could my Ming Dynasty be destroyed by the hands of foreign races? Can Yuan's power is weak and he has already been entrusted to my Ming Dynasty! The heroes of the surrounding countries dare not have the intention of being disobedient!"

Because Jiao Fang and Xu Jin had retired, Wang Hua was the one who took over as the chief minister of the cabinet. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was involved in the disaster of a foreign race, Wang Hua was afraid that His Majesty would launch another army to Mobei, so he hurriedly took over the conversation, thinking about dispelling Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

Zhu Houzhao also understood the purpose of Wang Hua's words, but he said that these were not to personally conquer Mobei and kill all the alien races. This was unrealistic and consumed national strength and would not have benefited Zhu Houzhao would not have risen. But today he said that these were actually to use the rise of the Qing Dynasty in history to give some wake-up sounds to the Ming Dynasty's meat eaters.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao said again: "If the world is in a state of miserable life, there will be rebels and rebels, killing officials and gentry to plunder people's wealth, and there will be foreign races rising outside, and they will be helped to establish the rule of the kingly way by the Confucian scholars and Han officials, and even claim to be the destiny of heaven. At that time, as scholars and officials, how should you decide whether to help the thief destroy the Ming Dynasty or the enemy destroy the Ming Dynasty?"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, all the ministers were shocked. They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly say such an assumption, but they had to answer His Majesty the Emperor's question, and instinctively thought about it. If it really came to that point, how should we choose.

"Your Majesty! How can a wise ruler and wise ministers be destroyed? Even if the country is destroyed, the ministers are bold and blunt, and those who respect scholars can obtain the destiny of heaven. Because the herdsmen are scholars, those who win the hearts of the people will receive the destiny of heaven. If they want to win the hearts of the people, they must first obtain the hearts of the scholars!"

At this time, Bian Gong, a student of the Hanlin Academy, stood up boldly and answered Zhu Houzhao's question truthfully. The implication was also to advise Emperor Zhu Houzhao to ensure that the Ming Dynasty would not be destroyed and respected the gentry.
