[I'm going to accompany my wife for the past two days, it's even late, I'm sorry]

Zhang Zhao has been living a very comfortable life these days, and he feels that the days in this military camp are much better than those at sea.

Originally, I thought that if I was captured, I would become a slave of the Song people, but this kind of thing has never been less in the Nanyang countries, the large and small states on Srivijaya Island and Java Island, and the Ayutthaya in the north, are all average. The slaves were all captured in the wars in various places, and the countries would also sell each other, and if they were unlucky, they would be sold to Annam, and most of them would become eunuchs.

But now Zhang Zhao's situation is much better than the best expectations in his heart, every day just reading, exercises, eating, sleeping, after a few hungry meals, Zhang Zhao and other 'classmates' together learned to obey the instructor's orders, even if from the heart he still does not understand what the use of walking and running with the brigade can be, but undoubtedly the rich meal makes him no longer doubt every word of the instructor, a meal of rice and all kinds of meat dishes is now enough to make him and his companions feel dead.

The neat dormitory, the clean and comfortable beds, and even the thatched hut that was so clean that people were a little uncomfortable made Zhang Zhao begin to feel spurned for the first ten years of his life after slowly adapting to it, "It's really in vain", every time he can't sleep in the dead of night, he always comes up with such thoughts, compared to his own life is really different.

When his grandfather was still there, he had heard him talk about the life of the rich families in the Ming Kingdom, the days of daily warbler singing and dancing, and fighting cocks and lackeys had made him yearn for it, but these days in the barracks, although he had never heard other music except for the military horn, and there was no superfluous entertainment, but the stable state had made Zhang Zhao feel a completely different sense of satisfaction from the expectations, which made him feel that the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty was getting closer and closer. At the end of training every afternoon, he took a shower with a stinky sweat, and would go to the canteen with his fellow dormitory mates to eat. With these two things, as long as you swing in front of the head of the canteen, you can get rich food and drink, and no matter how much you eat, it is enough, such a luxurious practice can not be done even if it is still in Zhangjiagang's own village before.

His father Zhang Chai Lao is the owner of the sea, but the whole family can still only live two meals a day, but the climate here in Nanyang is warm, and although the locally produced rice is not edible, it can still be mixed with a round belly. As for other materials, such as salt, sugar, tea, and vinegar, they had to rely on foreign trade, and they did not have any of them. Therefore, it is common to only eat a meal after making a big deal, and now life is better every day than a lot of rewards, but in just one month, Zhang Zhao's body has become a lot stronger, and he feels that he has inexhaustible strength every day, but reading makes him feel more annoyed.

The same is true of his fellow residents, as a part of the sand, the Ministry of Culture and Culture requires the construction of military academies to also be disrupted, with six people in each dormitory, and the native-born Han and natives are mixed, and the Han people have two kinds of captives among the bandits and local newcomers, which is to eliminate the estrangement between each other and to reduce the power of the clan.

The Han people in Nanyang, whether they are far away in Luzon, Srivijaya Island, or near Chinatown at the mouth of the Broken Hand River, all focus on the clan, gather in one place, and think that they are relying on, although they are now prisoners, as long as the political affairs hall does not plan to kill them all, and still wants to make the best use of people, they have to guard against the clan, after all, the Han people in Nanyang do not go out of Guangfu, Chaoshan, Fujian and other places, it is too concentrated.

As for Zhang Zhao, although he knew that his son had joined the newly established coast guard of the chiefs, he had not seen each other for a month.

The coast guard is to consolidate the current limited sea power, after all, the traversers can not always drive speedboats to cruise on the sea, and finally decided to disrupt the recruited and captured sailors everywhere, after training, the traversers will take the patrol of the sea, and temporarily requisition those wooden boats that can still be used for use, and then it is necessary to build more lightweight small triangular wooden sailing boats for sea cruises.

…………

The sea breeze blows the window screen, and the moonlight shines through the window and reflects the scene in the room, making the scene look particularly paradoxical. The white moonlight casts on the emerald blue picture in the room, like a dream, several people sit around, and Sun Liangyu, who is standing in the middle, is fiddling with a holographic map of the South Seas.

"It's too difficult this time, our satellites are all antiques from the beginning of the last century, and it's really not so easy to match the image with our holographic projection, so you've been urging, and I can't help it."

"Some areas are still not clear, which cannot be solved at the moment, so we will see."

"Actually, it's just a land inspection, is it necessary to make it so grand?"

Listening to Sun Liangyu complaining while debugging, the few people next to him just didn't hear it, and it is normal for people who have never done specific things to have a bad temper. If you can still speak in a good voice after working hard day and night for nearly a month, it is a miracle.

"Xiao Sun, we also understand that your work is difficult, but this is also to deter the barbarians, so that the young people don't have to be lucky, and the terrain at this time, especially the place where the river flows out of the sea, is quite different from the original, so it is better to be safe."

The base on Labuan Island has basic satellite launch capabilities, but the satellites that can be obtained are all in the early 21st century, after all, such technology has been obsolete for nearly a century, and it really took Sun Liangyu and his team a lot of effort to successfully launch. Compared with the work of the Ordnance Superintendent, Sun's work is more technical and more intolerable.

These second-hand goods copied by 3D printing, the service life is only seven or eight years, but it has to carry the main task of long-distance communication in the future, after all, the efficiency of radio is too low, and the submarine fiber optic cable is not even to think about it, but compared with the long conquest, seven or eight years is inevitably slightly insufficient, so the last test launch was only used one, synchronized in the sky over the South China Sea today, as a dependence on domination here.

Starting the second day of the successful launch of the satellite, it only took a week, and the traversers couldn't wait to use reinforced concrete to pour a stone pillar on the port of Sili, brass is a strategic material, and after weighing it repeatedly, they still failed to use the copper pillar plan, which made the people below quite disappointed for a while.

But with the support of satellites, the work of land inspection went much smoother, and remotely piloted aerial vehicles could have come in handy, but such a visible machine was eventually banned on the grounds of military secrecy, and finally did not appear.

"A little further east, right...... Yes, that's it. "Li Xiao is directing Sun Liangyu to complete the revision of a map. Just came back from the mouth of the Broken Hand River, and failed to catch up with the war, which made him not particularly happy, but the information collected before must be sorted out, about the situation of Guda Maolu and the surrounding places, the East Road Detachment felt a rough idea, these natives who have not been seen in the historical materials are the focus of this land inspection work, is to suppress or care, just look at the first-hand information brought back by the East Road Detachment led by Li Xiao, this is the most important reference, and the surrounding geography is also very critical, no matter what strategy is adopted for these young people in the future, it is necessary to send people to manage.

"In my opinion, Xiao Sun is his, why should we be our own, go hand in hand." Xiong Taibai and Sburan are in a hurry to make contributions, neither of them wants to delay too much time in the land inspection, if they are changed to the Ming Dynasty, according to the meaning of Mei Lao's pedant, what fish scale books are there, as well as the archives and pastes in the cabinet library of the past dynasties, but what things will there be in this Nanyang? Even the monarch has come and gone, and has come, how many years, the local Han people are somewhat knowledgeable, and they can't tell who this land belongs to, after all, which one is stronger even if it is occupied, and at present, when it comes to strength, Xiong Taibai and others are confident that no one will be able to surpass the traversers, and the investigation along the East Road has strengthened his belief.

Rocle, who had been sitting on the side and watching for a long time, finally spoke, "The newly surrendered pirate leader Zhang Chai Lao once provided us with a piece of information. ”

"Pirates?"

"I used to be a pirate, and now I serve in the Coast Guard."

"What information can he provide?"

"Don't underestimate the origin of these pirates, they can be regarded as most of the locals, and they are familiar with the sea conditions."

"Old Luo, don't listen to them, you go on."

Roclery asked Sun Liangyu to move the map a small square to the west, pointing to an estuary in the map.

"Tanjung Maya."

"Tanjung Maya?"

"Yes, this village is thirty kilometers away from Brunei City in a straight line, and the distance on the coastal march is about forty-five kilometers, and there are four or five hundred people in the village there, and the population is mostly Baba Nyonya, the men are called Baba and the women are called Nyonya, all of them are clans, and they are a big force in North Borneo."

Baba Nyonya is born of Han immigrants and Nanyang natives, since the Song and Yuan Dynasty Han immigrants gradually increased, this kind of Borneo here has gradually become a non-negligible existence, because it follows the Han system of worshipping ancestors and respecting Confucianism, so it is incompatible with the local natives, is to gather everywhere, often self-contained.

"It seems to be an impression, but there are many villages like this along the coast, I wonder what is different about this Tanjung Maya?"

"There is a long stretch of the estuary parallel to the coast, and there are many tidal flats, so it is a natural salt field, and the salt production in North Borneo is considered a large part here, and the other is teak."

"Teak?"

"Yes, the best teak in this land, according to Zhang Chai Lao, can compare with the teak here is also Burmese Bago, Borneo and Java here good sea boats, if not made in Burma, there are more timber from Tanjung Maya."

"Hasn't Zhang Chai been messing around on the North Borneo Ocean for a long time? Why didn't you occupy this place, seeing that the distance is not too far from his Zhangjiagang of Kuala Pengyu, and it will be the right time to release the ocean in spring. ”

"I can't beat it."

"Oh?"

"Zhang Chai Lao confessed that the terrain of the Baba Nyonya village is very good, and it is stuck in the key point of the cape, and its people are all warlike, the local area is rich, everyone is well-armed, and I heard that there are muskets, but they have attacked twice, and they have suffered losses, so they don't think about it anymore."

Sun Liangyu interjected on the side, "I also heard Lao Luo's words from other places, and it was also confirmed from other descendants, and several big food merchants who were arrested all said the same thing. ”

"This is trying to incite us to make enemies everywhere."

"What are you afraid of, as long as you dare to resist, burn his mother...... So what? yes, burn him Nyonya ......"

"It depends on whether the army can give it or not, after all, it has only been training for more than half a month."

"In another month and a half, you can pull it out for training, to be honest, the bloodless army, can you rest assured? It is still necessary to adapt step by step from actual combat. Xiong Taibai said.

Sun Liangyu interjected next to him, but he also helped Xiong Taibai, he fought early, he was so relaxed, he always analyzed and analyzed, when was it a head, and said: "By the way, I heard Su Yao say that he happened to try out an M1857 12-pounder field gun, and his suggestion was to let us find a place to try it." ”

The bronze Napoleonic cannon is really a bit extravagant, so the ordnance supervisor is only willing to build this one, after all, the replacement of the armaments of the traversers will be very fast, there is no need to waste too much on this uneconomical equipment, I believe that in the South Seas of this time and space, there is no such suitable field heavy weapon, to capture a coastal village, it is really a bit of a knife.

Having said that, Rockley is not easy to object, but the basic principles are not so confused.

He looked at Xiong Taibai and Shi Bran and said: "Let's talk about the front first, the decision to act must be handed over to the Privy Council, since you want to bring the students, it is naturally Zhu Dazhao's business, whether he is willing to bring you, I can't guarantee it." ”

The two of them had a knowing expression and laughed together, "Don't worry, we naturally understand." ”

Looking at the map again, Rockley seemed to have made up his mind.

"Last time, I defeated the invaders, and by the way, the Zhang family's stronghold in Zhangjiagang was also removed, and now only a three-island village has been rebuilt there, leaving a few human rights as a guard."

Everyone knew that Rocle must have something to say, and they were all waiting.

"But this Tanjung Maya has salt pans and industries, so naturally it can't be equated with a few villages that were pulled out before, and the new salt and timber fields in the future are all developed by people in the past, so my opinion is also to set up a separate city."

"Set up a city?"

"yes, the name has to be changed."

"How?"

"Let's fight it first...... Let's call it Toto City. ”
