Under the bright sunshine and patches of white clouds, is a barren coastal wilderness.

The productivity of the ancients was low, and after Shao Qiang only left the capital city of Qiongzhou less than ten miles, the surrounding environment began to develop towards unmanned.

Along the way, in addition to the scattered villages and sparse fields at the end of the sight, the elements of beaches, rocks, woods, and weeds began to quickly take over the world, leaving only a potholed dirt road leading into the distance.

If you mistakenly think that Shao Qiang has any fascination with the pristine seascape of Haikou, then no, Master Shao is just in interest today, and he just came out to relax temporarily.

Later generations sat on the most congested traffic, playing on the beach with only people and no sand, and were pit for a sky-high seafood meal, which is the so-called sea view tour.

However, in the past few years, from the primitive style of Taiwan in the 17th century to Fujian and Guangdong, it can be said that they have long been immune to the so-called subtropical primitive style.

Nowadays, unless you see the quasi-tropical scenery south of 10 degrees north latitude, such as South Vietnam and Thailand, you will not be interested in these places in the Ming Dynasty.

To tell the truth, what some people want to see most now is reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, even if there is a little haze......

With the salty wind blowing from the sea, Master Shao and his party gradually approached the mangrove forest along the dirt road. Shao Qiang, who was lying on the sliding rod, had already squinted his eyes at this time and began to think about "national affairs".

Shao Qiang's burden is still very heavy.

As of today, even after settling in Qiongzhou, the next step, he and Sha Zhengming, the pioneering duo, will quickly set their sights on the Beibu Gulf and Vietnam...... In the 17th century, it was called the land of Annam.

In other words, going abroad.

Time is tight.

He can only say that he has just settled down, and there are still a lot of things to do in the future. However, whether it is the cabinet bigwigs in Guangzhou or the inside, there is a general consensus: the southbound fleet should go south as soon as possible.

It was already the second half of 1631. According to the plan of the traverser, by next year at the latest, a series of stable bridgeheads will be established in the Indochina Peninsula, and while attacking the Indochina Peninsula, the sword will guide the ocean.

This hidden time requirement made Shao Qiang very headache. It was the seventeenth century, and he did not have a 10,000-ton ship and all kinds of construction machinery at hand. On the contrary, those sailing ships under his command need to use the word "month" to calculate their voyage in Indochina once they run a single way, and Shao Qiang really doesn't know how to build a "series" of bridgeheads in such a short period of time.

In addition, when you go abroad, it is not so easy to act.

The first Annan people to face next are not the Ming officials and people who greet the traverser with a smile, the same language, and the same blood. This small country, which was still a county of China during the Qin and Han dynasties, has established its own emperor and built its own grammar since the five dynasties broke away from the Han family sequence.

Although they have learned from China everywhere, after more than 1,000 years, the people of Annam have long been self-reliant from their roots. Even after many times with the Central Plains Dynasty to turn their faces and fight against the tribute and ask for the title, everyone now has a tacit understanding: the Central Plains is strong, and the Annam people will be emperors behind closed doors, and if the Central Plains is weak, hehe.

If it weren't for the fact that Annan was in the era of the "Zheng Ruan Civil War" during this period, according to the urine of this dry pickled little brother around the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely take advantage of the boss's weakness to pounce on it and take a bite.

Therefore, even if he has an advantage in military science and technology, Shao Qiang does not dare to take the next step lightly. Annam is an enemy country, where everything from the air to the rats, from the emperor to the subjects, from the grass and trees to the soil, all have malicious intentions against outsiders.

Shao Qiang came out to relax today, and the most important thing is that he wants to sort out his work ideas and see how to find the fastest development model under the time limit.

...............................................

Just as Master Shao closed his eyes and pondered, he felt a slight sinking under him, and the team turned off the roadbed and began to walk towards the beach.

Master Shao opened his eyes slightly and found that the mangrove forest was 100 meters ahead, so he closed his eyes again.

The next moment, Master Shao's eyes suddenly widened again, revealing a frightened expression, because a terrible scream came out under him: "Big Master, help, do well, help~~~~~~!!! ”

Although Master Shao had received anti-assassination training as early as the big office period, Shao Qiang, who had been deeply corrupted by the evil old society in the past few years, had already finished his life.

So although he was sober at the moment and wanted to make some dodge and self-preservation, his body was very honest, and he only twisted on the slide rod and did not make any effective action.

At this moment, the sedan chair man, who was also frightened by the screams, trembled in his heart, slipped under his feet, and lifted off the old man on the side of his shoulder!

The old man was lifted off the sedan chair, which is a big problem. Fortunately, Master Shao was full of people, and at the moment he fell, he caught the master with his own agile hands and feet.

At the same time, the entourage who was responsible for the security work was also shocked. These people were all formally trained, so they knew all too well what would happen if something happened to their protected target—it was the barbaric seventeenth century, and if Shao Daguan hung up, all the attachés present would probably have to pay for their lives.

The next moment, more than a dozen people, seven or eight guns, and N cold weapons, all pointed at the screaming ...... Which place...... Grass nests.

This grass nest is also wonderful, and its location is just below the roadbed. When the large team turned down, no one would have thought that such a loud scream would suddenly emerge from the grass nests that could be seen everywhere beside them.

Immediately, two tall and sturdy guards threw themselves into the grass nest. After a toss, a native Ming man wearing a robe and a bun was dragged out of it.

As soon as the native was dragged out of the grass nest, he seemed to struggle twice, and gave the guard a reason. At this moment, the guards who hated in their hearts were possessed by the American imperialist police, and suddenly with a blow of their rifle butt leather boots, they beat the native to the point of screaming, shouting "Good man spare his life!" ”

"Okay, stop fighting, haven't you heard that everyone thinks of us as heroes? It's called the lord in front! "Worry-free

Master Shao, who was supported by his hands and feet, spoke to save the life of the native.

After the frightened Puding, Master Shao first glanced around and found that there were no large numbers of people in ambush who were unfavorable to his old man, so he understood that this was a coincidence.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to fall into the sedan chair, Shao Qiang is a later generation after all, and he has no intention of angering these people, so he spoke to save the life of this native.

After this small episode, Master Shao picked up a few sedan chair drivers who were kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing, and continued to sit on the sliding pole, and the large army drove the mangrove forest.

And the native, whose name no one even knows, was pushed and shoved by the guards, and was held all the way to the back of the line.

When they finally arrived at the mangrove forest, the team chose a beach with white sand. The entourage quickly set up their own tables, chairs, and umbrellas, set up a cast-iron grill, took out the live seafood brought from the base, brushed the seasonings that the master loved to eat, sprinkled with garlic residue, and held an open-air seafood barbecue party.

At this time, Master Shao was still half-lying on the bamboo chair, snorting a skewer from time to time, and then drinking two sips of pure wheat home-brewed beer. At the same time, the old man's eyes were deep, staring at the rolling sea, looking like a philosopher.

The entourage knew the master's habits, so although everyone was also gulping, no one made a noise, for fear of disturbing the master's train of thought.

After more than an hour like this, Shao Qiang finally said to himself: "I still have to drop ten times with one force!" ”

After saying this sentence "the future work policy for Annan", Master Shao seems to be much more transparent. After making the decision, he relaxed for a moment: "A few more skewers of roast suckling pig!" ”

Master Shao, who had a great appetite, immediately picked up the pork belly again. While masturbating the meat, the old man finally remembered the culprit who caused his old man's fall before: "Bring that whoever comes up, I will interrogate and interrogate me!" ”

"Yes!"

The grass nest screamer was quickly carried to the master, and then he was kicked with a crooked leg and kowtowed.

Shao Qiang glanced at the hero while masturbating.

This grass nest man and all the poor peasants Shao Qiang saw in this era seemed to be even more embarrassed and pitiful: five short figures, ugly appearance, covered in mud and grass stalks, bruised and swollen face, short homespun robes in tatters, and a cloth belt tied around his calves, oozing blood, which seemed to be injured.

"Tell me, who told you to ambush you as an assassin by the roadside?"

After hearing Master Shao's joking question, the grass nest man looked confused - the natives couldn't understand Shao Qiang's Mandarin.

Fortunately, since Shao Qiang came to attack Qiongzhou, there were naturally local Qiongzhou people among the entourages around him, so the translator quickly appeared.

After listening to the Qiongzhou dialect spoken by the translator, Caowo Man's bruised face was beaten, and he suddenly squeezed out an expression of Dou E with snot and tears: "Wronged, big man, villain wronged!" The villain was driven out of the labor service, and it is absolutely harmless! ”

"Haha." After Master Shao picked up another skewer, he picked up the beer glass and took a sip, and then leaned back comfortably on the recliner: "Okay, look at your decrepit appearance, you don't look like an assassin." Then tell me your tragic story, and let me be happy. ”

Next, Shao Qiang once again heard the story he was familiar with in this era.

Caowo Man is a farmer in Lingao County, Qiongzhou. More than a month ago, the county government suddenly sent out a conscription, saying that he was going to Qiongzhou Mansion to repair the harbor to guard against pirates.

This grass nest man's family was poor, and naturally he could not afford to pay money to be exempted from military service, so he was sent to Qiongzhou to repair the harbor for the southbound fleet. Half a month ago, when Shao Qiang and the others arrived, Caowo Man was sent to build a wall for the yamen in the city.

As a result, just yesterday, the carry's leg was crushed by a brick.

When the fierce and vicious official saw that this product was useless, he immediately drove him out of the city. So the limping grass nest man embarked on the road back to Lingao.

Everyone knows what happened next. The grass nest man suffered a leg injury halfway through, and he could only lie in the grass nest and wait for death when he was sleepy and hungry. As a result, he waited for Master Shao, and scared the master out of the sedan chair.

"Look, look, this old society has turned people into ghosts!"

Although Shao Qiang roughly guessed what happened to this person early on, he still made an indignant expression - he couldn't relax his ideological work at any time: "Tell me, if this doesn't change, can it be done?" ”

"The master is right!"

"The rules of this world should be changed!"

The entourage had already been brainwashed by the training class, so at this time, they were also indignant and echoed the master.

Shao Qiang nodded: "Well, it's also a poor person, and he still repaired the dock for us." ”

In the end, Master Shao made a decision: "That's it, look at him like this, we will die here if we don't save him." You take this man back to the labor camp, treat his wounds, and when his leg is healed, you can arrange a job to do. ”

"Yes!"

The next moment, Master Shao asked Caowo Man with a pleasant face: "By the way, fellow, what's your name?" ”

This simple sentence was understood, so he said expectantly: "Back to the master, the little Fu has land." ”
