Chapter 730: Nanming Leaves the Fire (2)

Now Coconut City is under the direct control of the Han army.

As far as Wu Qi knows, His Majesty the Emperor has already intended to divide the South China Sea again, including Luzon and other countries.

This is also a matter of no choice, although the radiation range of the Han is far away, but if you want to rule specifically, the cost of this is too high.

Liu Ximing is familiar with the history of later generations, and if he finally splits out because of his long-term isolation overseas, it is better to divide him into the Liu kingdoms now.

At least it could be kept within the tributary system.

"Wu Qi, I'm here."

Wu Qi's mind was full of thoughts, but Chen Qingzhi took the lead in sailing into the port of Coconut City.

As soon as he reached the side of the boat, Wu Qi heard a few shouts from the shore.

A young man dressed in a big man's collared robe and a gauze scarf and hat was waving at him.

"Su understands!"

Wu Qi showed a trace of excitement on his face, and hurriedly shouted back.

"Why, you still have acquaintances here?"

Jiang Baolin also walked out of the captain's room, and couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

Every period of time is an officer seedling, and Jiang Baolin is of course very concerned about their movements.

This is also required by the Military Election Department of the Governor's Office of the three armed forces.

Wu Qi showed an embarrassed look on his face, he nodded and said:

"It's my friend in Langguan Temple, Huangmen Lang Su understands."

"Cao, is Lin'anhou's second son?"

Jiang Baolin was a little dumbfounded all of a sudden.

Immediately he fell into a deep mess, Langguan Temple is really a good place.

Huangmenlang was originally a place dedicated to recruiting the children of nobles and high-ranking officials, and it was not surprising that the prime minister's son appeared in it.

What a lot of connections this must have.

Glancing at Wu Qi, who was still a little ignorant, Jiang Baolin's heart flashed with a hint of impulse.

It's time to let that stinky boy in his family study hard, if he can't enter Langguan Temple in the future, he won't beat his ass and bloom.

Wu Qi didn't know that his captain had such a big wave in his heart, and when he saw the ironclad ship docking, he immediately gave a military salute in high spirits.

"Su understands that he is the son of the prime minister, but he is not a gentleman's son, report to the captain, and his subordinates apply to land."

Jiang Baolin smiled and waved back.

"Alright, remember to be disciplined and allowed to land."

With a hula, the soldiers on the Chen Qingzhi walked off the ship with neat steps like milk swallows returning to their nests.

"Old Wu, hahaha, I really didn't expect to see you here."

As soon as he saw Wu Qi, Su Yi immediately hugged him like a bear, and his face was full of joy and happiness.

"No, now that the telegraph is connected, don't we often exchange letters?"

Wu Qi was not as excited as Su Ming.

Su Dong kicked over, his face full of urgency.

"Damn, this is called expressing friendship, do you understand, okay, when you get to my brother's territory, let's go with my brother, let's go."

The two of them laughed and walked towards Coconut City.

Wu Qi had already changed into a collared robe like Su Ming, wearing a crown hat.

After the Manchu Dynasty shaved his hair, Liu Ximing took advantage of the situation to promote the movement of keeping short hair in China.

This trend first started in the army, and the name was to sympathize with the people of the old Ming Dynasty, in order not to make them feel ashamed.

But until the establishment of the Han Dynasty, people found that the army and officials of the Han Dynasty did not have the slightest intention of changing back to long hair.

The Han royal family took the lead in keeping short hair.

Therefore, this trend has gradually spread to the whole society, and many people have begun to have short hair.

Of course, unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Han Dynasty did not regard long hair as a means of distinguishing people.

In order to show respect for tradition, the custom of wearing crowned hats began to rise again in the Han Dynasty.

That is, a gauze hat with a crown on top looks the same as long hair.

In these hot places in the South China Sea, short hair is even more popular, and almost all Han people here have short hair.

As for the clothes, the South China Sea is also mainly based on light gauze clothes, which are very cool.

"I didn't expect Coconut City to develop so fast."

Boarding the carriage brought by Su Ming, the two walked quickly through the streets of Coconut City.

Now the road in Coconut City is wide, green belts have been built on both sides, and electric lights are being built around it.

The houses on both sides of the road are neat and regular, and the cornices and corners look very magnificent.

A hint of pride appeared on Su Dong's face.

"Well, the hard work of our officials has not been in vain."

"But this is also Your Majesty's Shengming, and now the South China Sea is divided into seven regions: Luzon, Annam, Siam, Burma, Sunda, Bala, and Brunei.

"It is precisely with such a relatively free jurisdiction system that the development of the entire South China Sea region can be developed at a high speed."

"When we first took Batavia, several universities in China sent experts to check it, thinking that the terrain of Coconut City was too low, and it would be easy to accumulate water in the future."

"We took this opportunity to move the coconut city to its current location, after 4 years of development, there are now nearly 100,000 people in the coconut city."

Wu Qi sighed in his heart.

As far as he knows, the population of Batavia was only a few thousand when it was reclaimed, which is about the same as the original city of Manila, but he did not expect it to develop so quickly now.

"Admire, admire."

Wu Qi praised a few words from the bottom of his heart.

After speaking, he looked at Su Dong with more admiring eyes.

"Of course, what I admire even more is the prime minister and you, it's really difficult for you to be a dignified official and eunuch who is willing to travel thousands of miles to such a barbarian place to be an official."

Su Yu straightened his chest proudly, and his face was full of pride.

"What kind of eunuchs, His Majesty the Emperor said, there are only people in the world who are beneficial to the country, and there is no such thing as children of eunuchs."

"Besides, it's not that you don't know, Huang Menlang said many times when he was training, we, the nobles and gentry, should lead by example and be the first of the empire."

"If even we don't want to come to the frontiers of the Empire, then who can we count on?"

Su Ming's face showed a hint of urgency.

"Besides, I'm only my father's second son, and it won't be my turn to inherit the title in the future, if I don't come out to fight, what's the use of relying on that little money to divide the family."

Wu Qi praised in his heart, Su Ming's spirit is indeed rare.

"You've been promoted again?"

Glancing at Su Ming's demeanor, Wu Qi naturally thought of the reason.

Su understood and nodded with a smile.

"That's right, now I'm already the Coconut City Governor of Zhengqipin."

Wu Qi nodded in his heart, he knew the ability of his friend, and with his Huangmenlang background, he would be looked down upon wherever he went.

But I'm not bad.

Thinking that now that he is also a military marquis, he is equivalent to Qu Chang, Wu Qi's heart is hot.

If it weren't for His Majesty's great kindness, how could these poor children of themselves come out.

Coconut City is now a prosperous scene, and Su Ming's carriage went straight to Coconut City County after a few turns in the city.

As a new city, Coconut City is almost completely built according to the domestic template of the Han Dynasty.

The most central part of the city is the Assassin's Mansion and the Zhixian Yamen, which sit north and face south, and opposite is the county assembly house, with a large square in the middle.

Although the Han Dynasty was a monarchical society, the people still had the right to assemble and march, and these squares often came in handy.

The carriage arrived at the gate of the county office, and a white man with blond hair and blue eyes but dressed in a Chinese-style black official uniform hurriedly greeted him.

"Daling, you're done so quickly."

Wu Qi was surprised to see a fan guarding the door here.

Su understood that he nodded very calmly, and said indifferently directly in the carriage;

"Well, my official friend has arrived, you can open the door quickly."

Only then did the man hurriedly open the mobile fence at the entrance of the county office.

Walking into the county government compound full of Han style, Su Zhi looked at Wu Qi with some amusement.

"Are you curious why there are still people who are being served?"

Wu Qi nodded curiously.

A deep smile appeared on Su Xiang's face.

"You can't tell or hear of this man, his name is Anthony."

"Hahaha, could it be the governor of Batavia, the Dutch chieftain?"

Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then clapped his hands and laughed again.

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Yu with a funny face.

"You, you, have made the governor of a country a gatekeeper, and this is a terrible thing."

Su Dong rolled his eyes.

"What is there to do here, during the colonization of the South China Sea, the Dutch chieftain did all kinds of evil, and the people of my Han people who came here to beg for a living were killed by them, and this is a retribution."

"If compared to these Taixi barbarians, our emperor and Han are simply bodhisattvas, and these ghosts are well fed and clothed in Coconut City, aren't they much better than the Han and natives they enslaved before?"

Wu Qi was not surprised by Su Understanding's racist remarks.

With the re-rise of the Han Dynasty, the entire South China Sea region once again felt the horror of Daddy Huaxia, and the psychology of kneeling and licking whites that was still in its infancy was instantly suppressed.

Now in the South China Sea, and even in the Tianzhu area, the prestige of China can be said to be resounding in the sky.

Naturally, the inhabitants of the South China Sea once again regarded the Tessians as barbarians.
