Annam, named after the Annam Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty. Its birthplace was incorporated into the Chinese territory as early as the Qin Dynasty. Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the warlords were divided, and at the beginning it was the jurisdiction of the Southern Han Dynasty, which was the Jing Navy. After the internal strife in the Jing Navy, Yang Tingyi was killed by Jiedu, and his son-in-law Wu Quan avenged him and defeated the Southern Han Dynasty.

However, whether it is the Five Dynasties or the Two Song Dynasties, the ruler of the Kingdom of Annam is the protector of Annam, the king of Jiaozhi County, and the king of Annam.

Not to mention in the Yuan Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty, first the Chen Dynasty was in civil strife, the Hu Dynasty usurped the throne, and despite the repeated advice of the Ming Dynasty to kill Chen Tianping, the only clan relative of the Chen family of the previous dynasty, he continued to harass the border of the Ming Dynasty to the north and invaded a large area of land in the south. As a result, Ming Chengzu sent the chief military officer Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng, the left deputy general Xiping Hou Musheng, and the right deputy general Xincheng Hou Zhang Fu to lead the army to the south, destroy the Hu Dynasty, the counties and counties, and Annan returned to the territory. However, in the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the Ming court contracted its overall strategy, abandoned Annam, and established the Li Dynasty, which restored the status of vassals.

Less than a hundred years later, the Li Dynasty was usurped by the powerful minister Mo and was for the Mo Dynasty. In Annam, there are also those who do not obey the Mo Dynasty to confront it. At this time, it was already the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Li Dynasty complained to Beijing, the Jiajing Emperor sent troops south, and the Mo Dynasty surrendered the land, and the ruler of the Mo Dynasty was appointed as the commander of the Annam Capital, and nominally re-entered the Chinese territory.

However, in addition to the Mo Dynasty in the north, there is still the Lê Dynasty in southern Vietnam, and in Annam, the situation is that the Lê is strong and weak. It's just that the Mo Dynasty has always competed with the Li Dynasty by relying on the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south in the country. And this Mo Dynasty, in the Ming Dynasty held the thick legs of the Ming Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty, he hugged the thighs of the Qing court, until the rebellion of the three feudatories, and hugged the thighs of Wu Sangui, but the legs were wrong, and the Qing army went south, and the Li Dynasty completely eliminated this leg hair that the fox and the tiger were used to in the name of helping the Qing army to quell the rebellion.

"In addition to the confrontation between the north and south of the Lê clan and the Mo clan, there is also a dispute between the Zheng clan and the Ruan clan, who have the power to govern the country."

The current Annan is like a pot of porridge, but in this case, they are still encroaching on the territory of the southern occupation of the city, but they are getting stronger and stronger. Even if it were not for the arrival of Western colonizers in later generations, it is still unclear whether Vietnam, which was about to annex Laos and Cambodia, would become the new hegemon of Indochina.

Sitting in Qiongzhou Mansion, Lin Cha, Du Hui, Zheng Xingying, and other local civil and military forces naturally have a better understanding of this vassal across the water. Zheng Xingying roughly described the situation there, but Yu Lincha heard that it was a neighboring country in civil strife, like meat on a board, just waiting for them to go in and harvest. Turning his head, he looked at Du Hui, who also turned his head to look at him, and the two of them clearly felt that they both seemed to have such thoughts between them, and even just to grab a wave would be a good deal.

This kind of thinking is the most normal reaction for people who are born as pirates or have been in the pirate's den for a long time. However, neither of them was a straight-line military general such as Chen Bao, and Annam had defeated the Chinese army at that time during the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, and the Ming army once controlled the country, and finally was forced to withdraw due to its own situation and strong resistance in Annam. This small country has never been a soft persimmon to pinch, and in the current situation, the Zheng Group's own focus is in Fujian, followed by Guangdong, Chen Kai also has a far higher official position than him as a competitor in the Guangdong officialdom, and it is not appropriate to cause more trouble for the time being.

Chen Kai granted the matter to the Guangdong Trading Company with full authority, so to put it bluntly, it is a transaction. In this way, there will naturally not be too many things that need to be done by them.

On that day, the four of them discussed for several hours, not only about buying grain, but also about some side matters, which were all very important. The next day, Cai Cheng asked the local branch to send invitations to the merchants who had greeted him yesterday, and to meet customers at the Juxian Tower in the city.

The least thing that can be done in business is to usher in the send-off, which is somewhat similar to that of the official. In the final analysis, one is for money and the other is for power, and they are all driven by interests to be so diligent. Cai Cheng's identity, the power and ability of the person behind him, of course, these businessmen should be polite. Before the appointed hour, everyone had already arrived one after another. Fortunately, Cai Cheng is not bad in this regard, and he prepared it in that restaurant earlier, and he is also used to receiving people like Zheng Tai in Hong Kong.

The main family greeted him in person, and returned the number of courtesies when he came. Everyone sat down one after another, Cai Cheng gave a speech, and then waved his hand, and the people below naturally understood. Immediately, the wine and delicacies, the song and the dance of the warbler and the swallow flowed in the meantime. There is also a flower leader in the capital city of Qiongzhou who was invited to come, adding a bit of a strange color to this banquet.

"I heard that when Chen Fujun outwitted Chaozhou City, and personally fought with the Chaozhou thief king Che Renzhong, there was a local Oiran lady playing a song "Man Jianghong" next to him, Chen Fujun was full of spirit, killed Che Heavy Duty, held its head, and drank back tens of thousands of thieves. Today, Chen Fujun's recovery of Guangzhou and the destruction of the division can be said to be a shock to the world, and even our rural villagers know this prestige. ”

"Congratulations for Daming, congratulations for Chen Fujun!"

Who is the backer behind Cai Cheng and the behind-the-scenes owner of Guangdong Trading Company, everyone here knows it. To please Cai Cheng, of course, at the moment, we must start by praising Chen Kai, so that we can receive the best results. Everyone praised the recovery of Guangzhou, some mentioned the recovery of Chaozhou, some talked about resisting Geng Jimao, some talked about their feat of saving Guangzhou, and some directly praised the Xinhui siege, the battle of Jiangmen and the attack on Guangzhou City.

Chen Kai is Cai Cheng's benefactor, and he is also quite happy that everyone praises Chen Kai. It's just that those rumors don't seem to be very reliable, such as the song "Man Jianghong", which was not at all a matter of killing cars, but before that; For another example, when rescuing Guangzhou, Chen Kai faced Sheng Dengke and Xu Long, and there was no famous prostitute in Guangzhou behind him to cheer for him, which was obviously a strong press on Liang Hongyu's joke; As for why when Chen Kai was guarding the Zhongzuo Institute, Chen Kai's current wife Zheng Xiyuan served on the side, helping to take care of the wounded without undressing, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army, which is even more nonsense. Not to mention, Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan had not yet married at that time, and a few days before and after, Chen Kai first shot Zheng Zhiguan, turned his head and shook Zheng Hongkui's face, it was simply Zhang Guan Li Dai.

However, as long as there is no damage to Chen Kai's reputation, Cai Cheng is also smiling, and there is no need to correct their mistakes and omissions, it is enough for a guest to enjoy himself. In such an atmosphere, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, came and returned with the excitement, but there was only one thing, that is, Cai Cheng never mentioned the purpose of the trip during the banquet, and only said that he was happy.

"What does this Cai Yuanwai want to do?"

This is a big question, because although Cai Cheng's status is not high, he is Chen Kai's cronies, and he is in charge of such a big business as the Guangdong Trading Company. In the words of later generations, there is no reason to run to Qiongzhou Mansion to hang out in this minute, and there is definitely a purpose, and nine times out of ten it is related to the official, and if it is not done well, it will be another big move.

Those who attended the meeting, those who did not attend, many people were thinking about how much benefit they could get from it, and they used their means one by one, wanting to find out the purpose of Cai Cheng's visit. As a result, it didn't take them long to wait, Cai Cheng looked at the account books of the government and the branches of the city for a few days, and then sent someone to invite the famous businessmen of Qiongzhou Mansion to go to the Juxian Building for a while.

This time, everyone still arrived early. Compared with the last time, it is mainly to pull the relationship, and this time it is obviously a real comparison. When they went upstairs, it was still the same place as last time, and the dishes were served, which were still delicacies. It's just that there is no female musician, but without such fun, they are even more interested.

"Don't hide it from you, this time I came over, but there are a few big deals to be done on the orders of my family's Fu army. Today's banquet is also for this purpose. ”

"Chen Fujun is famous all over the world, and Cai Yuan is also a well-known figure in our Guangdong business community. If there is anything, just give us a command, and we should be duty-bound. ”

"Exactly, exactly."

The merchants behaved very boldly, because they knew very well that Chen Kai's reputation had always been good. Over the years, except for Du Yonghe, he has always been a child. Even if it was Du Yonghe, a discerning person could see that Chen Kai originally had the opportunity to catch it all, and directly killed Du Yonghe and his subordinates in Guangzhou City, and invited them to eat wonton noodles and knife noodles on the Pearl River if they were more hidden. As a result, Chen Kai asked for some silver and sent some boats to Du Yonghe, which was still a deal in the final analysis.

This second-class member is said to be a businessman in his hometown, and there is no discrimination from officials against them at all. Buying and selling has always been fair, some have been to Hong Kong, and some have been to Chaozhou, all of them have seen it with their own eyes. Follow Chen Kai to do business, not to mention making money, and there is also a yamen as the backstage, and the exploitation of the intermediate links will be much less, which is the most refreshing.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and Cai Cheng did not continue to hang their appetite, and took the lead in telling the story of going to Annan to buy grain. As a result, those people were embarrassed one by one.

"Cai Yuanwai, you have great magical powers, and you must know what is going on in the Annan Kingdom now. At this time, whether it is the Zheng family or the Ruan family, they attach great importance to grain and grass......"

Within the Li Dynasty of Annan, Lord Zheng and Lord Ruan competed with each other, and they beat everyone to the head. It was not only the two of them fighting each other, but also the newly restored Portuguese and the Dutch, who had invaded a large number of their colonies, with the Dutch allies on the Zheng side and the Portuguese on the Nguyen side.

Between the two, Lord Zheng was stronger and was on the attacking side most of the time, while Lord Ruan's side used the mountain and the Lingjiang River as a support to build a city wall for defense. Until the Battle of Changde in 1648, the power of Zheng Zhu's Imperial Forest Army was seriously weakened, and a few years later, in the seventh year of Yongli, the Ruan Lord launched a counterattack, and Zheng Zhu's side first lost its division and land, and even Zheng Jie, the then Zheng Zhu, also died at that time. However, the newly appointed Zheng Zhu launched a counterattack, and it took several years to push the Nguyen Zhu forces back to the original dividing line.

As these well-informed businessmen said, at this time, it was the most lively time for Zheng and Ruan to fight. Food has always been a strategic material, and it is strictly controlled. Acquisition is not indispensable, the most important thing in Qiongzhou Mansion is the people who have connections with all the forces in Annan, but in terms of profits, it will shrink a lot, and making money is really not what they desire.

The merchants complained of their suffering, and Cai Cheng sat there and listened. If it was in such a situation in the first two years, there would still be some official authority, but in the past few years, he has no interest in such things as putting official authority in the mall. In business, it is profitable to last, otherwise, forced sales will often only scare away more potential customers.

And when they were all saying, he did not speak, but sat there and listened. Sometimes, there are also businessmen who offer to help buy some, but the number is very small, and he is a drop in the bucket, and he also thanked him as usual. After a while, the voice of complaining began to gradually subside, and more people focused their eyes on him, wanting to see what Cai Cheng and even Chen Kai behind Cai Cheng were planning.

"You should know very well that my family's Chen Fujun will never let real friends suffer. In the matter of purchasing grain, the profit is very low, so thin that it may not even be enough for labor. However, now Guangdong needs grain, and Fujian needs grain even more, and it is imperative for Chen Fujun to supply the army and to stabilize grain prices. ”

"Silver, we don't plan to give too much, it's still cheap. However, one thing can be told to you, Chen Fujun has a big layout in Guangdong, and the least thing in it is the participation of businessmen. I won't say much about the profits, but I will only talk about one point here, that is, Chen Fujun decided to set up a Guangdong Trade Alliance in Hong Kong to face the competition of other business forces with one voice. Last year, Wang Shi went to Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and one and a half of these two provinces were in the hands of Guo Ye and Chen Fujun, and it is conceivable how big the market is. Moreover, these places are also connected to Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and land trade is also being carried out, and the country surnamed Ye even sent Dingxi Hou to the north to the south of Zhili, and reached a cooperation intention with the merchants there. ”

Prospects, Cai Cheng said so much, then closed his mouth, looked around at everyone, and showed a pride on his face that he hadn't seen for many years: "Chen Fujun said that only true friends can join and share this glory." ”
