This time, we went to Batavia without taking the eastern route, that is, along the Philippine area, but took the western route, that is, along Guangdong---- Hainan, and then to Annam (Vietnam), from the sharp corner of Annam's into the South China Sea, and approached Batavia.

The advantage of this route is that it is convenient to supply along the way, these areas are relatively populated, unlike the Philippines, which is more desolate, or you can occupy some islands in the Philippines and operate as a supply base, although it is good, but on the side of the couch, it will cause unease in Spain.

They have to come one by one, and before they settle the Netherlands, the southeast province does not want to fight with Spain.

It's nothing to offend one red-haired country, but to offend two red-haired countries, it is possible that all red-haired countries will come together to deal with the fledgling southeastern province, and it is necessary to guard against it.

The red-haired fans are full of contradictions with each other, and Yan Changwu has a chance to take advantage of it.

……

When the fleet passed along the coasts of Fujian and Guangdong, supply ships came to supply fresh water, meat, vegetables, and so on, and the supply was not a problem.

Those supply ships hired ships from various seaports to transport supplies, which naturally alarmed the local governments.

Hearing that the fleet of the Southeast Prefecture was dispatched to fight and fight with the red hair, the local officials were speechless.

According to these bureaucrats, the boss of the Southeast Mansion is really still young and well-fed.

Over the years, the Southeast Fleet has not invaded the mainland, and the officials have shrunk their heads as turtles, cooperated happily with the Southeast Fleet, and everyone made money together, even Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, did not want to make much trouble.

The country is in a difficult situation, the land of Shenzhou is constantly revolting, there are northern captives outside, this southeast mansion does not cause trouble, let him go!

When he arrived at the mouth of the Pearl River, Yan Changwu took ten warships to visit Guangzhou (Yan Changwu likes to send his officers and soldiers to visit various regions, so that everyone can increase their knowledge, hehe, the staff officers in the fleet are not to play, but to look for the defense loopholes in the place), and stopped at Huangpu and accepted the "review" of the governor Xiong Wencan.

Guangdong political envoy Xu Shaoxin is Wanli Bingchen Branch second class 12th Jinshi born, in the same year there is a famous Hong Chengchou, still under its ranking, Xu Shaoxin new from Henan according to the appointment of the envoy, this public solemn and resolute, I heard that Yan Changwu is Guangdong coastal defense guerrilla, to Guangzhou but do not enter the Guangdong coastal defense army, even the governor Yamen did not go ashore to visit, very disapproving!

At that time, he was about to issue a license to prohibit the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Provincial Naval Division from going ashore, under the pretext of preventing them from gathering the people.

He was a civil official, in charge of civil affairs, and had this power.

Governor Xiong Wencan was inconvenient to have a hard top with him, but he jumped out of a left-hand political envoy Lin Zhen, who was also the same year as Xu Shaoxin, but he confronted Taiwan and said: "How can there be a reason why the officers and soldiers of the national naval division are not allowed to go ashore?" ”

"When they sail on the sea for a long time, they are already anxious and do not go ashore, what if they make trouble? Not the opposite? ”

"Moreover, there are three thousand people on ten boats, and the business of three thousand people, isn't it good to bustle the Guangzhou market, Lord Xu, you are Uncle Fang (the honorific title of the political envoy), and the food is from the imperial court, and you must also take care of the livelihood of the local people!" Lin Zhen said to him.

Lin Zhen is also a civil official, and he can make a big sense, and Lao Xiong laughed dryly in the right position: "What Lord Lin said is reasonable!" ”

One main attack, the other assists, Ren Xu Shaoxin also has to be silent!

Xiong Wencan doesn't need to say much about his relationship with Yan Changwu, Lin Zhen is a native of Putian, Fujian, so naturally his arm is turned inward!

Lao Lin has read a lot and knows the scourge of the feudal town very well, but if he is from the same province, he will speak with a different face.

These high-ranking officials from Fujian Province, or those who have been high-ranking officials in Fujian, Yan Changwu's annual filial piety is indispensable, and of course he speaks.

However, after the officers and soldiers of the southeast came ashore, what surprised Xu Shaoxin was that they had outstanding military appearance, strict discipline, and when they came out, they were in groups, they spoke politely, and they were fair in business!

Buying things and giving money, there is no move to win over the people, and the rest of the army is completely defeated.

The news came to him, but it made his heart sink more and more, if the southeast army was in chaos, he wouldn't be so worried!

He personally went to see the gunboats of the southeast ship, and he was even more surprised, the two main ships (battleships) were full of cannon holes, which was really terrifying!

Hearing that there were more than ten such gunboats, and the rest of the smaller gunboats had dozens, Xu Shaoxin gasped.

Xu Shaoxin privately admonished Xiong Wencan and said: "The Southeast Army is a heroic army in the world, and it is possible to sweep the two Guangzhous, how can the Governor let them sit big!" ”

"Yan Shaoyang governs the army like this, his ambition is not small, in case, if there is a case, dare to ask the governor, who can control it? How to explain to the imperial court? Xu Shaoxin asked.

Xiong Wencan shook his head and said: "Brother is too worried, Xiao Yan will not rebel, he swore in front of Mazu Niangniang that he will always be loyal to Daming!" ”

Xu Shaoxin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally didn't dare to say that he swore to be a P, saying this is tantamount to disrespecting Mazu Niangniang, and the thousands of believers of Mazu Niangniang will not stop with him.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xiong Wencan was too lazy to say, so he called his nephew Xiong Ting, raised his voice, and sang "Jing Zhong Bao Guo" to Master Fang Bo.

The lyrics are so heroic that Xu Shaoxin couldn't help but exclaim: "Okay! ”

"Does Master Xu know who wrote the song?" Xiong Wencan asked.

"It's from the Southeast Mansion?" Xu Shaoxin asked hesitantly.

"Exactly!" Xiong Wencan nodded and said, "Xiao Yan personally wrote it, and the words are the voice of his heart." ”

"Loyal to the country, this country, even if it is not the Ming Dynasty, is also the country of my Han people, Xiao Yan, dare not oppose China! Don't dare to oppose the Han people! Dude, rest assured! Xiong Wencan packed the ticket for him.

This time it was Xu Shaoxin's turn to nod, Yan Changwu talked about serving the country with loyalty, if he disobeyed, it would be tantamount to slapping himself and causing his subordinates to centrifuge, he wouldn't be so stupid.

Xu Shaoxin's heart was heavy, and he reluctantly said goodbye, and the more he pondered, he understood a little, that kid, he had to do Cao Cao!

He is only a weak crown year, he has such great ambitions, time is on his side, and he has wings, no, I still have to reflect to the emperor truthfully.

After returning to the government, he wrote a recital!

……

The fleet left the mouth of the Pearl River, arrived at Dehailing Island, and then went straight to Hainan Island, replenishing supplies along the way, and the last stop was Qiongzhou, and then sailing abroad was to go abroad.

Qiongzhou is located in the southern tip of Hainan, since ancient times it has been a penal area, a desolate place, the population is not large, the arrival of the fleet suddenly made the ancient port city very lively!

The fleet stayed here for a day, allowing the officers and men to go ashore in batches, while the supply ships swept away all the live livestock, poultry, and fresh fruits and vegetables around the supply ships, which were bustling with small delivery boats.

Yan Changwu did not go ashore, and in his official cabin, he read books, built ships and maps, invented ideas, and played chess and cards with his cronies.

There is a lack of entertainment, for the sake of fame, he can only carry out good habits, mainly engaged in ship building and invention, he was attacking the fortification, completing the drawing of the first-class battleship on the three-gun deck, and Gan Hui brought a person over to meet him, and told a strange thing!

Mazu Niangniang has appeared!
