Although there is a lot of gold and silver and rare aromas, the most gratifying thing is the establishment of a stable rice import channel.

As early as the Song Dynasty, the Champa rice seed was planted in the Chinese family, and the continuous selection and breeding finally had the rice planting industry of the Chinese family.

Agriculture has always been a major problem for the Chinese nation, and we cannot ignore it in any way.

Leaving two officers and five non-commissioned officers plus twenty soldiers to fulfill the agreement with Champa, the Southeast Fleet lost two sixth-class cruisers in the sequence, and got the benefits of Hoi An and Champa and sent back to Southeast Province first.

……

Standing on the open-air deck and watching the coast of Champa gradually move away, Yan Changwu said: "We must maintain the balance of power of these countries, we must not let one country dominate, we must hoe the strong and help the weak!" ”

The senior officers and staff officers immediately took out their notebooks to remember, and listened to Yan Changwu say: "To determine our geostrategy, the first is to build the country with a navy, protect our territory from aggression through a powerful navy, and push the war out of the country!"

Second, we must use our power wisely, with the help of allies, with the help of strength, to intervene in land affairs, as we are on the mainland and here, to find more allies, and not to be afraid to spend money, it is better to spend money than to shed the blood of our people;

Third, we must unite, establish the power of our Southeast Governor's Office to control the Southeast Province, practice chicken fisting, avoid internal turmoil and division, and at the same time we must give our people benefits and let them support our rule, and we should not be afraid to spend money ...... this."

He spoke of the deeds of a ruler, Saladin in the "Heavenly Dynasty", who attacked

"The fourth is to protect agriculture, vigorously develop industry and commerce, establish shipping routes, and develop overseas trade.

The high-ranking officials laughed strangely, in the final analysis, it is still money, you have to work hard to make money, and you have to grab money!

Seeing that everyone was smiling a little strangely, Yan Changwu waved his hand to make them sober up and said: "In Southeast Asia, we will grab the territory we can grab, as for the land countries, let them fall into division forever, whoever wants to come forward to launch a war to destroy the country, we will give priority to dealing with them, provide support to the weak, join the weak if necessary, and attack the strong!" ”

This is the "offshore balance" grand strategy evaluated by the experts later, and the grand strategy is set, so that his staff can have a definite goal and determine the foreign policy policy, and at the same time, the southeast government further intervened in the land dispute, and as a qualified chief of staff, Gan Hui wanted to assess the situation, do what he could, ensure the core interests at the same time, maintain the balance of power of those countries, whichever comes out of the way to fight, the fleet will come in handy!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt excited, and he would have fun in the future

……

Walking south along the coast, on the land side is the country of Chenla (Cambodia), and those places near the South China Sea have not yet been annexed by the Annamite, that is, the great river delta where Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) is later located, these fat lands are still the land of the Chenla people, and the fleet passes through them for replenishment.

When you see a fleet like them, anyone will greet them with a smile!

Eventually, they reached the end of the continent and headed south into the vast sea to Batavia!

……

The tropics are blessed with a snowy wind and a cold wind howling in the north, and the people here are still dressed in single clothes, and in comfortable temperatures, the whites are comfortably enjoying their afternoon tea, and in recent years, the concept of "afternoon tea" has appeared in the upper classes, and they enjoy the green tea of the East (it's green tea!). And fragrant snacks, plus tropical fruits, to spend time happily.

There were not many forms of entertainment in those days, and the white people, as the upper class of the colony, showed demeanor and demeanor, and the key was that they had leisure.

Compared with the hard-working Chinese, they are like a diligent worker bee, from morning to night, while the local brown jungle boys are too lazy to move, let alone have no money to enjoy the fun of life!

The white people work in the morning and start to be lazy in the afternoon, sitting in the garden, calling a band when possible, drinking tea and eating snacks and talking, they are very happy!

On this day in the Governor's Palace in Batavia, during tea time, Governor Speke and several senior administrators, plus some captains, in the garden of the Governor's Palace, where the blue sea could be seen, the cool breeze sat at the table, under the big leaf orchid, Governor Speke slept in the leather chair and was drowsy, while the high-ranking whites talked softly, ate and drank in a dignified and noble manner, and then "came across the sea with the southeast fishing drum, and broke the happy afternoon tea!" ”

A neatly dressed servant of Ah San came quietly and whispered something to the senior administrator, Wellinger, who was startled and immediately left his seat, went to Governor Speke, and woke him up: "There is a Portuguese captain who has come to visit, and he said that he has brought news of the invasion of the Ming fleet!" ”

Governor Speke immediately perked up and commanded, "Invite him in quickly!" ”

The Portuguese man came in and bowed to everyone, it was none other than Munch, the captain of the Portuguese ship "Lisson", who had been humiliated at the Hoi An anchorage.

This guy left Hoi An, and the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, and then he had an idea and thought of what Ming wanted to do!

So he commanded his merchant ships and, with his great skill, reached Batavia before the Aketo fleet.

Snitch!

He first introduced himself, and then Wellinger introduced him to the people present, most importantly Governor Speke, Hendrik Blau, and Anthony van Diemen.

Governor Speke said kindly, "Please sit down and enjoy our tea and snacks here!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, Honorable Governor!" Munch sat down and drank a cup of tea, while the Dutchmen waited graciously.

So Munch said: "The fleet of the southeast mansion of the Ming Dynasty is coming across the sea, and their fleet is very strong...... but he didn't say anything, and looked at Governor Speke slyly.

Governor Speke said magnificently: "If your situation is valuable, you can load a shipload of spices and go back!" ”

Munch was overjoyed, took out a piece of paper, explained the situation of the Southeast Fleet he had recorded one by one, and then handed the paper to Governor Speke!

There were 8 battleships, 8 5th cruisers, 28 6th cruisers and 8 supply ships (he did not know that 2 6th cruisers were missing), and the armament of each gunboat.

Hearing that the Southeast Fleet had used such a powerful force to attack, the Dutch felt very helpless!

I heard that the commander of the Southeast Mansion is young, but he is an out-and-out war maniac, and everyone doesn't have to do business if he is provoked!
