I want to ruin the country

Fortunately, they were sitting on the sofa, otherwise they would have been hurt!

"what happened?"

Yining pushed open the sliding glass window in front and asked.

Yi Heping, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was about to get out of the car and said,

"Your Majesty, I almost ran into a homeless man!"

"tramp?"

Yining was very puzzled, as homeless people were a rare sight in the capital nowadays.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

When they got out of the car, they saw a disheveled middle-aged man lying in front of the car.

There was blood running down his forehead and face, so it looked like the injury wasn't serious.

But this person's behavior was very abnormal. He was holding two big buns tightly in his right hand.

He ignored the blood on his face and stuffed the bun in his hand into his mouth desperately.

Yining asked hurriedly,

"How is it? Is the injury serious?"

At this moment, several policemen ran after him, shouting,

"Catch the robber!"

"Mugger?"

Immediately, Yi Heping and his friends surrounded the homeless man on the ground.

Yining asked sternly,

"Did you steal someone's things?"

The man was seen waving his hands and mumbling a few words, but Yining could not understand a word he said. However, Yining could tell that he was a foreigner.

The police came running over and saw the license plate number 1-00001 on the car that Yining and the others were riding in. They knew it was the emperor's car, so they came over and saluted immediately.

Yining asked,

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, this person stole someone's buns up front."

Yining asked,

"Robbery buns, what does he do?"

"We didn't know either. We only came after the shop owner who was selling steamed buns yelled!"

The police went over to catch the homeless man who was wolfing down his food, but the homeless man didn't care and stuffed two hot buns into his mouth in a few bites, choking him so much that he rolled his eyes!

Yining saw that the man must be starving and said,

"Don't arrest him yet, ask him first!"

The homeless man got up from the ground after catching his breath. Yining asked him what happened again, but he talked a lot and no one could understand him.

Wu Bo said,

"Your Majesty, I heard what he said sounded like the language of Sulu!"

"Can you understand?"

Wu Bo shook his head.

"I don't understand!"

Yining looked at the homeless man carefully and saw that he had dark skin and his face looked somewhat different from people in the Central Plains. He guessed that he might be from Southeast Asia.

At this time, the homeless man also realized that Yining was of noble status. He suddenly lay on the ground and talked for a while, and kowtowed to Yining.

Yining saw the homeless man's anxious expression and said,

"Take him back first!"

Someone said to the Iranian nuclear issue,

"Give them money and ask them to pay it back to the owner of the bun shop!"

The police were unwilling to take the emperor's money and said hurriedly,

"Your Majesty, please go ahead. We'll pay for the two buns!"

Yining nodded.

“You must give it to me!”

Back at the palace, Yining asked someone to take the homeless man to take a bath, and asked Yi Jianshe to go to the Ministry of Rites to find a few translators.

As soon as the homeless man saw that he had entered the palace, he immediately smiled and kept talking with his mouth wide open, and kept bowing to Yining!

A bunch of translators came and the homeless man also came back after washing up.

After the discussion, a translator reported,

"Your Majesty, he is an envoy sent by the Sultan of Sulu, asking for help from the court!"

"what happened?"

It turned out that this person was the envoy of the Sulu Sultan named Manigu.

As the Spaniards' attacks on Sulu have become increasingly fierce recently, the Sulu Sultan found it difficult to withstand the attack, so Manikul came to ask Daqing for help.

Their ship capsized in a storm at sea, and only Manigu survived.

He had no money and couldn't speak the language, so he begged all the way to the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, he hadn't eaten for two days. When he saw the steaming buns, he couldn't resist any longer, so he grabbed two buns and ran away.

He was running in a panic and was hit by Yining's car. Fortunately, the car was driving slowly, and he was not seriously injured except for the skin on his face!

Yining said nothing.

"Hurry up and serve the pastries, and then prepare his meal!"

After a while, the palace maid brought over several plates of cakes. Manigu didn't bother to be polite and grabbed the cakes and ate them greedily.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, Yining asked him about the situation in detail.

Manigu lay on the ground crying tears pouring down to the sky.

"Your Majesty, our Sultan has sent us a petition for help. We are willing to return to the Daqing court, but our ship has capsized and fallen into the sea. Your Majesty, please grant us your permission!"

Wu Bo saw that it was getting lively now. Before his own request for help was resolved, another one came.

And they said directly that the entire country belongs to the emperor!

He looked at the emperor to see how he would respond.

Yining was silent and thoughtful, thinking about the past and present of the Philippines.

In the past, the Philippines did not exist, and there were only two countries: Luzon and Sulu.

Luzon and Sulu are located in the northern and southern parts of the east side of the South China Sea respectively. They have fertile land and abundant resources.

During the Ming Dynasty, a saying was popular in southeastern coastal areas of China: "If you want to be rich, you must work in the cat world."

Maolibu is probably the southern part of the Philippines today. At that time, the business there was developed and there were many business opportunities.

Chinese merchants used porcelain, gold, iron tripods, black lead, five-colored glass beads, iron needles and other items to exchange with the locals for local products such as yellow wax, kapok, ivory, pepper, camphor, jibei, pearls, tortoise shells, betel nuts and other goods.

Chinese businessmen pay attention to credit when doing business, and "ship merchants are trustworthy and never break their promises."

The locals of Luzon and surrounding islands are also always grateful to the merchant ships from China.

To this day, every May, the locals of Mindoro Island in the Philippines reenact the scene of the blood oath alliance between Tang Dynasty merchants and the locals to express their gratitude in commemoration of the festival when Tang Dynasty merchants first landed in Mayit Kingdom.

With more exchanges between the people, official exchanges naturally emerged.

Historical records show that Sulu and Luzon started a tribute competition to the Ming Dynasty, you came once every five days, and I came once every three days.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was embarrassed and had to issue an order to set a limit on the number of times they could be allowed to play.

"Considering the burden of overseas voyages on both countries, tribute payments should be limited to a few times a year."

In the 1417th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (), the Eastern King of Sulu, Baduge Bahala, led the Western King and the Dong King La and his family to visit the capital.

"A Study of the East and West Oceans" records that the Sulu delegation "returned with an empty country, lined up at the gates of the imperial palace" and "climbed mountains and sailed across the seas to pay tribute to China and Korea."

They landed in Quanzhou, Fujian, and traveled through Suzhou and Hangzhou along the Grand Canal to Beijing.

Along the way, the local government treated them as state guests, just like the King of Malacca.

According to the "History of Ming Dynasty", the three Sulu kings brought many rare specialties of their country and presented "golden-thread memorials, pearls, gems, tortoise shells and other items" to the Ming Emperor.
