Kezuihou, Ping Qiusheng didn't forget to bring a few close-ups to Cam Ranh Bay, "It's a pity that there is no wide-angle lens, and I have to fight it when I go back." Ping Qiusheng took a breath. By the way, she stole a few swimsuit photos of Zhao Xue from the remote exploration team, and in order to facilitate activities on the boat, she wore a swimsuit on the boat.

Zhao Xue is not very beautiful, and she is dressed in a pullover one-piece swimmer with no sense of xìng, but she is one of the few modern women among the elders, tall and tall, which is very in line with the aesthetics of the elders. For the patriarchs who face the skinny maid every day, it is tantamount to a peerless beauty.

Looking at the two sturdy tuǐs of Zhao Xue, who was lying on the boat to explore the depth and temperature of the water in the long-distance shot, Ping Qiusheng couldn't help but have some physiological changes, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: Zhao Xue has been seduced away by Bai Guoshi's near the water. However, he didn't feel too much regret, after all, there were many restrictions and taboos in the marriage between the elders, and it wouldn't be very disappointing to have an unhappy ending like Liu San.

About 50 kilometers west of Cam Ranh Bay, there is one of the largest bauxite belts in East Asia, and the exploration team has certain expectations about whether there are small-scale bauxite deposits along the coast of Cam Ranh Bay. Aluminium is a very useful light metal, and not only is it extremely useful in industry, but the financial sector is also counting on aluminium to make auxiliary coins, although there is still a long way to go before the high level of electricity can support industrial aluminium smelting.

However, the exploration team obviously did not have any resource discoveries worth mentioning, so Zhao Xue has been wearing a swimsuit on the beach in Cam Ranh Bay for the past few days, which has provoked a lot of adrenaline secretion from Elder Ping.

Ping Qiusheng's maid posture is mediocre, and after solving the problem of whether there is or not, he gradually can't attract much interest, so he simply didn't bring it on the boat this time. Although he thinks about the position of the governor of Japan every day, he also knows that the Japanese women in this time and space are lackluster, and no matter how noble they are, they are meaningless.

He often talked to Quark about slaves on the ship, and of course Elder Ping was not interested in Quark's goods. The appearance of the Malay race does not match his aesthetics. He was more interested in Quark's reference to what he had seen in the slave market in Basra: slave girls of all nationalities gathered here, waiting to be sold. Every time, I heard his blood pounding, and he couldn't sleep at night.

Quark, who is not sensible, should immediately go and get a batch for the Senate! Although Ping Qiusheng hinted several times that these female slaves would have a very market in Lingao, he didn't expect Quark to be unaware of this, and he always had to talk about the quality comparison between slaves and black slaves in Southeast Asia.

After resting for two days in Nha Trang, the fleet departed for the next stop. At this time, Quark's fleet should be said to be safe, but with a keen sense of business opportunities, he decided to temporarily follow the Australian fleet to Siam, and maybe there are more opportunities to make a fortune.

Although Nha Trang has been occupied by the Nguyen clan of the Later Lê Dynasty, there are still many traces of the Champa state, as evidenced by the stone pagodas everywhere: Champa was culturally heavily influenced by India, Brahmanism was once popular, and there was also a caste system.

In terms of ruling Liliang, the Nguyen clan's control over the area was relatively loose, and there were few fortresses, and there were almost no signs of military activity. According to the local population, the officials and army of the Nguyen clan only collected food and goods locally, and occasionally forcibly recruited strong men, and there were few other activities.

Finding that there were also some Chinese immigrant villages in the area, the Nguyen clan had limited territory, a smaller population, and had to cope with the cost of large-scale military operations, so he attracted a large number of Chinese immigrants to reclaim the land in the New South and pay taxes. As an encouragement, Nguyen also granted various titles and titles to the leaders of the Chinese immigrant group.

Obviously, it is not difficult to establish a strong foothold in this generation after starting the Southeast Asian Raid. You don't need a particularly strong fortress, just a small fortress like Yulin Fort. Due to Nha Trang's geographical location, rice can be obtained in large quantities.

The so-called Champong rice is widely planted in this area, which is drought-tolerant, has a short growth period, and only takes more than 50 days from sowing to harvesting, and has been introduced to Liangguang and Fujian in the Song Dynasty. It is a cross-time artifact before the Song Dynasty. With enough light and heat as a native site, the yield is obviously higher. It is not good for these grains to be cheap monkeys, and taking Nha Trang and Cam Ranh Bay as soon as possible will continue to absorb the food resources of central and southern Vietnam, especially the Chao Phraya River Delta region, Ping Thu Sheng thought.

However, in the long run, the resource value here in Nha Trang is not very large, and there are no special resources other than the availability of rice. Perhaps once the entire East Asian layout is completed, it will revert to its traditional positioning: a veteran resort port plus a naval base, and of course it would be good to serve as an entrepot for Australians and Southeast Asia before taking Malacca.

The fleet sailed across the coastline of Champ. Champa has a long history, since the rebel Han established 15 dynasties, once a famous power on the Indochinese Peninsula, has now been reduced to a state that survives. There is Le Nguyen in the north and Khmer in the west. If it weren't for the constant internal and external troubles of these two countries, they would have been annexed and divided long ago.

On the way, they landed several times, and the special investigation team conducted reconnaissance, and found that it was a bit reluctant to call this place a "country", and there were only villages and ragged people's huts with straw huts, and there were no daily necessities. Not even a minimum of coarse porcelain.

They are made of pottery and wood, and if they are made of large shells. Whether rich or poor, the only pastime is betel nut. Almost everyone chews.

In the scope of the special investigation team, they did not find anything that could be called a "city", only some large-scale earthen villages. It was heavily guarded, and seemed to be on guard against the invasion of the Nguyen clan at all times.

However, in some of the harbors along the sea, you can still see the ruins of the former port, some of which are quite large, and it is clear that there were once prosperous cities.

As a country that used to be an important transit point on the Maritime Silk Road and thrived in commerce, it is really surprising that Ping Qiusheng has now fallen to such a state.

In Ping Qiusheng's view, the situation of the city occupation belongs to the category of his head being caught by the door. Originally, the Nguyen clan's relationship with Champa was peaceful, and they also tried to win over Champa through marriage. After all, maintaining military pressure on the north and south lines was not a good situation for the Nguyen Clan, but at this time, the Champa state was hot-headed, perhaps inspired by the Burmese and Portuguese wars, or perhaps because of their faith, they actually sent troops to assist the Johor Sultanate in attacking Malacca when they were too busy to take care of themselves. The Nguyen clan had an alliance with the Portuguese at that time, and had to rely on Portuguese warships to fight against the Zheng lord, and without the maritime support of the Portuguese, it would be difficult for the south to contend with the Zheng clan. So he turned his head and launched an attack on Champa, which eliminated the threat and expanded the territory.

It seems that the situation in this part of the city is promising. Ping Qiusheng realized that the intertwined and complicated relationship between Zheng, Ruan, and Champa could meddle in it with a little bit of resources and reap great benefits.

It was another two days of sailing, the course had turned southwest, and on the morning of the third day, at dawn, a large trumpet-shaped entrance to the strait appeared in front of the fleet, along which the storming delta estuary was dotted with islands of all sizes. This is the mouth of the sea in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon, which was originally in time and space.

However, this place is now the Shili range of Cambodia. Although it is known as Saigon, the Khmer people who occupy this place call it Purianko, which means the king's forest, and is the domain of the vice-king of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The specific location is probably in the area of the proposal area of today's Ho Chi Minh City.

With the chaos between the North and the South, a large number of refugees from Vietnam and Champa came here to take refuge and settle down. In addition, there were a large number of Chinese who settled here to do business, so it was quite prosperous on the surface. It's just that the Kingdom of Cambodia itself is not in danger, and there is pressure from Siam in the west.

Not long ago, after the bizarre "war death" of Yamada Nagamasa, a Japanese official and businessman in Siam, yīn conspiracy spread in this area, because of the suspicion that the Siamese rulers were about to be unfavorable to the Japanese, a large number of Japanese immigrants who had been working in Siam also took refuge in Cambodia, and many of them fled to Saigon. It's like a refugee camp in Southeast Asia.

Compared to the large fleet of the Dutch and Portuguese here, the arrival of Quark's 2 ships and 2 ships of the Southeast Asian Company is already quite large, giving the local residents another opportunity to see dioramas. Ships flying the flags of Southeast Asian companies have never been here.

The Khmers don't have a sea liliang locally, and Saigon is almost a free port. The hydrological conditions of the port were very good, and many foreign merchant ships would stop here for trade and supplies. However, it is summer, there is a threat of typhoons, and only a few Chinese merchant ships sailing along the coastline are in port, and there are not a single European ships.

The fleet anchored on a sandbar in the middle of the estuary, and after completing the necessary negotiation formalities, a guide familiar with the local area led the way to the city of Pliango, ready to enter the city of Ping Qiusheng, Quark and others. There was also a detachment of sailors who were guarded, carrying gifts for the local rulers.

The natural conditions of the port here are quite good, and according to the memory of the old time and space, with a little modification, there is not much problem in accommodating 20,000-ton ships to berth.

Along the way, before reaching the city, I have seen many shacks along the way, it is estimated that they are refugees from the north, some people see the group is quite good, probably want to ask for some food and money, but see that this group of people are all serious-looking, and there are unknown shotguns on their backs, they dare not approach.

Pingqiu Sheng saw that although these were in rags, their anger was okay, and it seemed that they could still eat some food, but they would not go elsewhere to escape the famine. The richness of this Mekong Delta is indeed extraordinary, but it is a pity that these people have been ruined.
