The style of painting has changed abruptly, one second it was still an entertainment program, and the next second it became a news broadcast.

Recalling the expressions of the proprietors in Kuching the day before after seeing the performance of the ship's first gun on the Fengcheng, Huang Hu laughed with ridicule. In less than half a day, even the elders who were still in Kuching City knew about the joke, and along with the new word "chief", it became loud in Kuching City overnight.

Hu Barong walked through the Kuching market, and the contrast between the joy in his heart and the calm on his face made every vendor who recommended his goods to him unable to grasp the thoughts of the customers in front of him. Knowing the original situation, I think that my master looks better now, after all, he is already a member of the Brunei Province, and he should be more stable, even if he is rumored to be paralyzed, but it is just a random arrangement behind the backs of some laughing people who hate themselves, and how can some slight slanders match the blue eyes of the leaders.

"You said earlier that the chiefs have been patrolling outside the city for the past few days?" Grabbing a handful of good pepper on the stall, proprietor Hu casually asked the companion behind him.

"The villain inquired from the family of the shopkeeper, and it was not a secret, and the merchants outside the west gate also saw the chiefs going out of the city day by day."

Hu Barong has sincerely surrendered since the incident in Brunei, but he is also a lively person who wants to make a difference in the middle. According to his estimate, combined with the actions of the chiefs in Brunei in the past few months, this is mostly a signal to clean up the surrounding tribes, and at this time, Hu Barong felt that he should do something more, and he had no intention of getting ahead.

He asks questions, but his head keeps thinking about things.

Pepper spices? Although these things were good goods that were shipped to the north, they were obviously not on this purpose, or else they would have set a double tax rate on spices, which was a clear reluctance to let people into Hong Kong.

The so-called three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first? The warships of the Fubo army were moored outside the harbor all day long, and it did not look like a place where they would lack food and clothing. Chatting with the familiar naval soldiers, the ship's cook made some food and drink every day, and he could not bring the same thing for three months.

The chiefs are not short of money or food, so what will they lack if they really want to use their troops? I haven't seen whether the Fubo army can fight Hu Barong, but when I was in Brunei, I looked at the newspapers and heard rumors that the Japanese army was a victory after a victory, and a lot of places had been laid on the land.

It's just that there is one thing like the Japanese army, that is, there are few people. The barbarians around Kuching believe that none of them will be able to withstand the blow of the Fubo army. The only thing to worry about now is the military strength of the Fubo Army. In Hu Barong's view, the number of troops on this scale is not large, and the consumption is not large except for iron ships, and Brunei's side has not levied any regulations and money from merchants and people because of this, so there is not much impact on the market, and there is no commotion. After the fleet arrived in Kuching, it did not send troops into the city to plunder, a few days ago it was just to invite the leaders of the various families in the city to the ship to treat each other with courtesy, Kuching opened the city, and even now, the merchants in the city still do not know whether this place is under the rule of the Song people.

According to Hu Barong's limited understanding of the leaders, he would never use force to treat the walled cities that returned to obedience, but he would never be soft on the surrounding tribes who refused to obey. But the city of Kuching alone is only 10,000 people, and it will not be too many to scatter hundreds of Fubo troops, not to mention that thousands of miles outside Kuching, and the barbarians of all tribes are scattered on the scale of 100 people, and it is impossible to hold it just by relying on these hundreds of people.

Hu Barong remembered how the government restrained the local government in the Ming Dynasty, especially after the Jiajing Dynasty's rebellion, the southeast coast had some experience in organizing and training the militia, so he felt that it might be helpful for the Kuching Mansion.

In addition, it is still necessary to understand the situation, and this is nothing more than a personal investigation, who called him Hu Barong is also a risky character?

…………

The big white bird looks strange, its four outstretched wings are never inciting, but they can hover in the air.

And whether the big bird flies by, or stops in the sky above the head of the village, it is like peeking at everything on the earth, whether the sun is shining high during the day, or the moon is bright and clear at night, when there is no rest, looking up makes people feel uncomfortable.

Peng Lai was a natural good hunter in the Gu Duo Ministry, but even if he wanted to break his head, he still didn't know what the big bird that had been hovering above his head for the past few days was. After all, even in modern times, in some corners of Africa and South America, there are still many indigenous people who have never seen unmanned flying equipment, not to mention that this is still a retro quadcopter style imitated in the early 21st century.

I heard from the clansmen who often go to Kuching City to trade that a strange fleet has recently come to the sea outside Kuching City, the iron ships are much higher than the city wall, and the people on board are all fierce, and now they have been giving orders in Kuching City, presumably most of the strange birds in the sky are related to these strange people, but the strange birds in the sky have been hovering for a few days, but they have not seen any disasters fall, so after a few days, the people's vigilance has decreased a lot.

It took Huang Hu a whole week to get a general idea of the tribal situation around Kuching, and the rest of the work took him three days to stop.

On the fourth day, a large house in the North City was filled with high friends, which was originally a temple for the prayers of the merchants and local converts, but since the arrival of the Song people, the daily sound of the prayer was stopped, and then even these three large temples were requisitioned by the Song people in Kuching.

The owners of Nanshi had already cleaned the council hall, but they didn't want the leaders to be uncomfortable in Hebei.

A bonfire had already been lit under the lobby of the temple, and several of the best lambs had already been slaughtered, and they were all roasted on the bonfire, and the smell of mutton mixed with spices exuded a burst of burnt aroma with the rotating grill. The merchants of the Great Diet now sat in the innermost hall, but they were sitting on pins and needles, and none of them had the idea of beating the mutton.

Although this big house is a cloud temple, it is all in the local style, not like the usual domed food temple, all covered with thatch, so although the girders are quite high, they are not bright. But today, there was a light in this 'big hall', and everyone was once again amazed by the miraculous skills of the chiefs, and watching a few gas lamps calm the natives, Bo Cunshu's heart was also happy.

Liu Dawu was dressed in a straight military uniform, and the hall was surrounded by naval soldiers with loaded guns. Regarding the power of the firearms in their hands, a few days ago on the boat, the proprietors of each family have already learned once, plus the fermentation of the legend that they came back in a few days, they have long been afraid of tigers, with the guards of these soldiers, Liu Dawu does not have to worry about personal safety, so today he specially changed into a dress, looking like a nobleman.

Taiwei Liu opened with a clear meaning and a witty tone: "This handsome is edicted to guard Kuching, and he originally loves halal on weekdays. ”

After the opening, looking at the people in the hall full of suspicions, Liu Dawu smiled and said: "A few days ago, Tianxing banned your Xuanli, and if you don't say it, I'm afraid there will be many complaints in your hearts." ”

A few big food merchants who had been on the ship started with Ould, and hurriedly said: "The captain is serious, the army is new, and it is the time to pacify the place, and it is normal to strictly enforce the law and discipline, how can I have complaints." ”

If you want to complain, in fact, Beishi has not been peaceful these days, the original big cannibals and the local aborigines who converted to the Great Food Religion are not on good terms with Chinese businessmen, and now the Song people who come here call themselves Huaxia Houyi, and they have stopped the Xuanli in Beishi. Although Kuching is not as holy as Java and Aceh are liturgical, especially the newly converted natives are more religious, which is also the concern of the Chamberlain, so after going ashore, in addition to investigating the place, the most important thing is to manage the religion.

Liao Yuntong naturally knows that there is only a difference between ancient and modern religions, and when it comes to doctrines, in fact, they are also the same way, anesthetizing the world. It's just that the matter in this spiritual realm, if you are not careful, it will cause a big change, so it is expected that you will wait for the territory to become bigger in the future and then overthrow it and start again, it is better to change the customs from now on, after all, the same thing has been done in Brunei Fuzhong for a long time.

The Great Food Sect prays five times a day, according to Huang Hu's words, if you really want to take refuge sincerely, you don't expect to do things in a day, for the development of industry and commerce, this Great Food Sect is really not an advanced productive force, so after some research, Liao Yun sent a report to the headquarters in the name of the southwest camp.

In fact, there are no other numbers in the report, but the views on the evolution of local religions are quite sharp, Liao Yun said in the report that the transmission of the Great Food Sect is more advanced than the local beliefs in Nanyang, and it comes down to the word portable.

Since the Age of Discovery, the wind of maritime trade in the South Seas has prevailed, but the local spirit of faith is often attached to the land and cannot follow it in doctrine. And there is another thing, that is, with the conquest by force, although the Western fleet has come to colonize the South Seas at this time, but the Westerners have only just arrived, the foundation is not solid, the population is not abundant, compared to the big food merchants who have been operating here for several generations, in fact, it is not much. Even though the Portuguese occupied the city of Manraka and the Spanish operated in Luzon, the large merchant trade was still the domain of Chinese merchants and large maritime merchants.

Compared with the weapons workshops in Manraka, more firearms and cannons in the South Seas at this time still relied on the import of the Ottoman Empire, so the military conquest was said to have been exclusive to the Arabian Peninsula and Persia for centuries.

With such a judgment, the way to solve the problem is clearer, whether it is the simplicity of faith and the practicality of theory, or the absolute power of the military, the travelers have absolute self-confidence, and naturally there is no reason to let religions that do not conform to interests survive in the local area, so the ban on proclamation is only the beginning, and the follow-up means are originally more than this.
