Ruan's arrow tower flow tactics seem to be a technology transfer from the West, of course, its technical strength is definitely insufficient, but according to Li Xiangqian's contemptuous comments, rookies peck at each other, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is indeed very suspicious.

Some elders who don't know history are skeptical about the Vietnam strategy, which is mainly the Vietnam War movie that the Americans repeated and filmed later, after all, the Vietnam War is a shadow that the Americans are difficult to wield, and for the Chinese people, it is already a consensus that the Vietnamese are terrifying combat effectiveness.

Of course, this kind of thinking will be laughed at by people who know how to do it, the reason why Vietnam was able to withstand the pressure of US imperialism back then, the Soviet father's blood and liver sales to support Vietnam, and the old-fashioned volunteers sent by China also played a very good role.

But again, in this era, because the Ming bureaucracy has been corrupt and corrupted to a certain extent, there have been wars and territories in the neighboring countries, and they have never thought of taking the opportunity to take these territories, and even let the areas next to their core be infiltrated and influenced by the original foreigners, and finally reach the level of direct rule like the French.

What is Vietnam? It is the coastal flank of southwest China, as long as Vietnam is safe, the Guangdong Plain can guarantee land security, can concentrate on maritime defense, China has only a few plains, and only the plains can rely on their production capacity to supply a large number of people.

Therefore, in this era, at least these guys, represented by the governor of Liangguang, are completely derelict in their duties, and they put their spirit on pirates of the same level as Zheng Zhilong.

When the elders looked their greedy eyes here, it was the Great War of the North and South of Vietnam, and the Champa state was still not annexed, that is, the land of the southern plate of Vietnam known to the Chinese in later generations, and it was still an independent country.

The Zheng clan and the Nguyen clan are also in the stage of strategic stalemate, although the Zheng clan still has some initiative in their hands and constantly moves their troops south, but under the Ruan clan's obscene tactics, they have failed every time and slowly lost their national strength.

And Ruan's is different, if you look at the map, you can know that Ruan's location, just in the northwest of the Beibu Gulf region, is tightly blocked by Hainan, and the south, although Ruan's navy can not do the blockade of the sea, but the distance is very disadvantaged, this is the same as the British and Dutch naval warfare, relying on the advantage of blockading the North Sea, can always carry out defensive operations, Ruan is in the south, can be annexed to the south of the weaker small countries, gradually annexed and grown, but also more suitable for contacting Western pirates, Carry out technological advancements.

These are all the information that Mu Rongshan got before he came, and the elders also made internal judgments, this is not a weak North Korea, which is easy to bully, but a place where the US imperialists once broke their wings, conquer here, the most difficult place is not the military, politics, economy, and even epidemics, roads, which is what Mu Rongshan is most concerned about.

"What is produced in Vietnam, I knew before I came, it is all from the field."

Zheng Xiaqi said: "Yes, Vietnam's rice production is high, the price of rice is cheap, and seven out of ten boats here are transported back to Fujian for consumption." ”

Mu Rongshan smiled slightly and said, "Sounds good." ”

Zheng Xiaqi said: "This is still little, after all, the big shopkeeper ...... It's only been a few years since Liu Xiang was suppressed, and the effort here is not as long as in Japan, so the cost is also small, which makes you laugh. ”

Mu Rongshan muttered, "It's a pity that it's not Thai fragrant rice, well, don't talk about it." "There are many branches of fragrant rice in later generations, although the price is expensive, but it is also expensive, but China can often set a record of selling ten times the Thai fragrant rice produced by Thailand, and these small Southeast Asian countries can produce the rice that Chinese like, there are really not many, at least Cambodia's jasmine rice, a pot of rice is more expensive than the rice cooker, so that Mu Rongshan, who has eaten once, is very impatient.

Although he knows that Vietnam's resource endowment is not bad, but after all, it is to be developed, he came this time, but also hope to open up the trade route, so that some income subsidies, as the stall is getting bigger and bigger, the support of Australian gold to the Presbyterian Church's financial income has also begun to decrease, at least the business route of the northwest fur to Jiangnan is very good.

Zheng Xiaqi naturally knew about fragrant rice, but at this time, this thing was a very luxurious thing, and ordinary people should be content if they ate it, but they misunderstood Mu Rongshan's meaning, and only thought that he was greedy, not thinking about the national economy and people's livelihood.

Zheng Xiaqi said: "There are still some good cooks in the city, and although this Hongji is a small place, there are also some good things to eat, wait for me to make some big dishes for you......"

Mu Rongshan waved his hand and said: "I came from afar, I just got off the boat, but I don't want to be too anxious to eat, I want to do things, well, where are the Han merchants and Chinese merchants in this city?" ”

Zheng Xiaqi didn't dare to hide his secrets, and immediately introduced: "There are not many people, and you also know that those who can go back to their hometowns for the New Year have all gone back, that is, I, a bachelor, are here, but there are still some who live here, including the Li family, the Chen family, and the Qi family, which are considered to be larger merchants." ”

There are really not many people.

Chinese in Southeast Asia, the so-called Nanyang pioneering, can sing and cry, and sad and unspeakable, like cutting leeks on time to carry out the massacre, not to mention, even in 1998, there is the great process of the Guo Party to help the Indonesians massacre overseas Chinese, and in the 21st century, Southeast Asian politicians, the favorite topic is to kill the Chinese, divide the gimmick of property, and the civil wars of all Southeast Asian countries, the biggest sufferers, the people who are extorted for money, are Chinese businessmen, who makes you rich, not united, There is no country behind it.

In the history of the original time and space, due to the crazy slaughter of the Eight Banners, many coastal people once again formed a passive migration, and although these people worked hard, they relied on their own ingenuity and hard work in the future, and they could still grasp a lot of wealth in these countries.

This is almost a racial specialty, but after all, the Ming Dynasty at this time has maintained peace for two hundred years, although it is also whitewashed Taiping, but there is still a little face, so there are not many large-scale escapes to form another Hakka group.

However, relying on the various ways of accumulating money in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the survival habits brought about by the pressure of having to work hard to maintain survival from the people in the cold land, Chinese businessmen and Han businessmen have done a good job no matter which country they are in.

These people, with the exception of a small number, can be used as a "united front" goal to carry out long-term planning, and the process of taking Vietnam must not be simple and rude, not only to prevent other vassal countries from panicking and forming an anti-China alliance, but also to have a realistic need to rule Vietnam in the future.

According to Li Xiangqian's words, they need to build a class that is attached to the Council of Elders, can make benefits in the process of external expansion, so they feed back this great policy, and eventually form a virtuous circle.

"Are they all maritime merchants?"

"Of course it is, but ......" seemed to think of something, Zheng Xiaqi still decided to stab someone, "However, adults should be careful, the Qi family has a lawsuit in their hometown, the family has moved here, and they don't plan to return to their hometown, and his family also married a distant niece of the Zheng family, and even married, and prepared to marry the daughter of his family to the Zheng family, which can be regarded as an iron heart to take root here." ”

Mu Rongshan frowned slightly, this Zheng Xiaqi said bad things about his peers at this time, it is enough to have a problem, presumably the relationship may not be good at ordinary times, but if the water is clear, there are no fishmen and no disciples, he doesn't care about these, but he still asked: "What did his family do?" Where? ”

Zheng Xiaqi said: "It's not clear, it should be Guangren, the family ran out, they didn't dare to go back, they relied on the Zheng family to live, not only did the son marry the woman of the Zheng family, but also prepared to give a white granddaughter to someone when she was only a teenager." ”

In any nationality, it is impossible for a woman to be happy when she marries outside, but this matter is only a little complicated, Mu Rongshan said: "That is a matter of the pre-Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the reason is complicated, we might as well take a look first." ”

Zheng Xiaqi was a little embarrassed, he was born in Fujian, although he was not a descendant of Eighteen Zhi, but he also had a coincidence surnamed Zheng, he was very willing to work hard, and he was injured in the battle with Liu Xiang in Guangdong, and his hand was useless, so he was sent to Vietnam to be a steward.

This job is also excellent, it is a kind of remuneration, every day is just enjoyment, the docility of this Vietnamese woman also makes him very leisurely, not to mention anything else, you can buy a woman for a small amount of money, of course, this also makes Zheng Xiaqi very loyal to the Zheng family.

In any case, at this time, Zheng Zhilong still has the rank of general of the Ming Dynasty, although the emperor is gone, he has heard about it from afar, but what is there to listen to the boss?

That's the problem.

Mu Rongshan didn't notice Zheng Xiaqi's discomfort, not to mention anything else, he vaguely knew that many Jiangnan and southern officials were also secretly communicative, and they were all righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, and they didn't know how many henchmen the emperor had sent in private.

He didn't know the specific list and didn't care about it, but Li Xiangqian looked confident, so naturally he could only believe him.

"This, we still have to look at it from two aspects, being able to run away with my family shows that there are still some family backgrounds, with the situation of Daming, it may not be that there is really anything to commit adultery, and there are also outsiders who have offended."

He smiled at this and said, "In this way, don't tell them first, I'll go and inquire, if there is really any unjust case and they are forced to flee, I will help them solve the problem, so naturally I should be grateful." ”

Of course, Mu Rongshan does not have such a simple thinking, he has no relationship with the Guangdong government, and in the territory of Li Xiangqian and others, he is almost the last to be "liberated", anyway, at this time, Guangdong wants to have the ability to make trouble unless the industrial revolution process is started.

After a brief understanding, the situation of several other Han merchants, at this time, because it is close to the New Year, the situation is not complicated, all because of various reasons, they are inseparable from the merchants here.

talked about the local Vietnamese officialdom for a while, who will come to the lower level, who is more greedy for money, who is more lustful, who is simpler in "public relations", and the recent Vietnamese facts, this Zheng Xiaqi is really clear.

This is the reason for the subjective initiative, this Zheng Zhilong implements the shareholding system, although the big head is still with him, and thus becomes a huge rich man in the sea, but there are still some reward mechanisms.

Arrange everything properly, and send a gift to the Han merchants and the Vietnamese officials in Hongji Port, in fact, it is a small mirror from Tangshan, naturally this Zheng Xiaqi also shared, each happy, the city also knew that there was a big family in the north, and wanted to come to Vietnam to "investigate".

Those who can mix up are human spirits, there are no fools, they are naturally willing to wait and see, for Mu Rongshan, the game has just begun.

In general, although it is in a turbulent and troubled era, there has been a long-term peace in the past few thousand years, so this Hongji still maintains a good scene, almost the level of an ordinary county town in the Ming Dynasty, which is mainly a commercial port, because the Zheng family of Vietnam has always been the main attacker, so the security can be guaranteed.

Mu Rongshan is full of curiosity, looking left and right, all can't be finished, in general, if you don't listen to the language, don't look at those local characteristics, here is almost no different from China, he took the three daughters, hugged each other, and walked around in a market.

This is a place where even devils of all skin tones, hair colors, and eyes often appear, although it is not every day, but fancy clothes do not cause onlookers, after all, in this era, all kinds of big people themselves like fancy dresses.

There are many small women on the side of the road, and Mu Rongshan suddenly found that although Vietnamese women are generally not tall, they are all capable, almost everyone carries a lot of things to and fro, and there are not many people who even wear shoes under their feet.

Imagine also, poverty, coupled with the heat, it seems that in ancient times, barefoot was a common thing, of course, Mu Rong Son decided to change customs into his work, later generations summed up, the reason for the high quality of Vietnamese women is actually not so complicated, if you manage it well, it may not become a barrier to protect the security of South China.

Moreover, in terms of topography and topography, if it can rely on new sea ships to open up, although the Presbyterian Council is not able to penetrate deep into the interior at present, it is enough to conquer many places just by fighting along the coast.
