Half a day later, Wang Xingping walked out of the Baoli Pavilion alone, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood, and he must have gained a lot from this trip.

Although Jin Yanze had reservations this time, he was shocked by Wang Xingping's encounter and gave him a lot of benefits within his ability.

The first is medicine, although the drugs brought by Guangzhou Station are limited, but some standing modern medicines are not a big deal for Wang Xingping, in addition to this, he also said that Gu Ziming also brought a small amount of vaccines from the original plane when he went north this time, which was originally intended to be used for emergency purposes when searching for refugees in Guangdong, and he could also prepare a copy for Wang Xingping, these vaccines are not like the pox promoted by the Senate in Nanyang today, they are all genuine special vaccines, and many of them are effective for life once they are used. It is really useful for Wang Xingping's current body, after all, more than half of the young children at this time can live to adulthood, and even the most common diseases in the future are enough to kill people, so Wang Xingping has also paid special attention to daily physical fitness since the crossing, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition, what is more important is the information that Kim Yeon-taek brought him.

After all, although he has some understanding of the current general trend, when it comes to the specific events and time nodes, Wang Xingping can only take the hindsight through Di copying, where is it so easy to use as the Senate has a database. Although Jin Yanze also said that because of the influence of the crossing, at least the historical process of Nanyang has been changed to a great extent, taking the current expansion in the Jiulongjiang Plain as an example, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will affect the situation of the entire Annam, and the conquest around Borneo has long deviated from the track of history, that is, the Ming Dynasty has not been greatly affected by the crossing people.

It is also because of this that the information that Wang Xingping got from Jin Yanze this time about the strategic decisive battle between Daming and Houjin in the northeast next year and a series of incidents in the southwest is very valuable, provided that these events are not affected by the crossing for the time being.

In the following days, he lived quite leisurely, not only met Gao Ju through Jin Yanze's relationship, but also made many local Confucian scholars through Yuan Chonghuan.

Such as Nanhai Chen Zizhuang, Liang Shiji, Huang Yingxiu, Kuang Ruilu, Panyu Zhao Xunru, Li Mi, Li Suiqiu, Xiangshan He Wuyu, Lu Zhaolong, Liang Guodong, Shunde Liang Yuanzhu, Chen Bangyan, Dongguan Xiao Yifu, Yin Mingyi, some of these people such as Yuan Chonghuan, He Wuyu have been in the middle for many years, but they have not given up to seek a Jinshi background, there are also young talents like Chen Zizhuang, his father is a Jinshi background, and he is only one subject later than his father and has to participate in the examination. However, more of these people are still the younger generation of talents in Guangdong who have been singing poetry and literature with Yuan Chonghuan and others all the year round, like He Wuyu will still participate in the township examination in Guangdong Province this autumn, and Li Suiqiu, Chen Bangyan, who is already a little famous in literature, has just started his career, strictly speaking, he is still white like Wang Xingping, as for the Kuang Xiucai Kuang Ruilu, who is open-minded, that is, the one who inscribed the Baoli Pavilion box, is actually just past the children's examination, and the hospital examination will have to wait until next year.

However, because it is about to be the autumn of this province, so the scholars of Guangdong have already come to Guangzhou to take Qi, and the prosperity of the literary style of the southern country is not comparable to that of Guizhou, and the Confucian scholars of this generation are not exclusive. Although Yuan Chonghuan is much older than Wang Xingping, he is not even a few years younger than Wang Mingde, but he is also commensurate with his peers, and he himself is also Ren Xia's temperament, and he likes to make friends. He respects what Wang Xingping did in Guizhou, so every literary meeting also tries his best to introduce others, Wang Xingping has gained some help in it, and he also occasionally has a good work or two sentences to be admired, and gradually has some reputation in this circle, and many local celebrities call brothers and sisters.

Tian Shengjin is scheduled to go to Beijing in August, just in time to wait for the Guangdong Township Trial List to be released, so that Wang Xingping can set off to the north with Yuan Chonghuan and others and the people of the new imperial examination, and the first of this year's Guangdong Township Examination is scheduled for the ninth day of August, and there is still half a month to go, and he just happens to make friends everywhere. Tian Shengjin did not forget to take care of this junior, and specially introduced him to the new Guangdong Governor Wang Mingxuan, although it was just a simple greeting on the face of Wang Zunde and Tian Shengjin, this Wang Lao was also impressed by Wang Xingping, the junior of his family, especially for the old way he talked about Liao affairs, the original half-hour meeting was extended to a small half a day, and then Wang Lao Ye wrote another note about the decisive battle in Liaodong and the countermeasures after the beginning of next year. It seems that this information is really convincing, and Wang Xingping has more weight in Master Wang's heart because of it.

It was exactly seven days since the last meeting with Jin Yanze, and when Gu Ziming arrived in Guangzhou, he made an appointment with Wang Xingping to meet him as soon as possible.

The place of meeting is in a painting boat on the White Goose Pond, compared to the safe house on Huifu Street, the view here is much more relaxed, but at this time the ship is all the guards brought by Borneo, and the place where the two talk is the second floor of the painting boat, and there is no one else except Jin Yanze.

"It's been a long time coming, and you've been waiting for a long time." Seven days from the mouth of the Jiulong River to Guangzhou can't be counted as a long time in any case, but Gu Ziming still has a little apology, he has already reconfirmed Wang Xingping's identity to Jin Yanze, and some details before crossing can be matched, and there is no other doubt.

Wang Xingping said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a place outside Guangzhou, and it seems that it is very comfortable to engage in intelligence work in Daming." ”

"It's really leisurely, it's very busy in Borneo right now, where is there this side of comfort." Gu Ziming didn't deny it at all.

He told Wang Xingping that Ma Chen had been controlled by the Senate at the end of last year, and now it was an important transit port, in addition to the spice trade must be controlled by the Senate, the original local Turkish and European forces have also been squeezed out or recovered, and the previously agreed cooperation of the Shuten and Yaco fleets and Quark's slave catchers are quite efficient, one of them is responsible for transporting the Senate's goods through the Strait of Malacca to Aceh or distributing them to the merchants of various countries in the Maluku Islands, and the other is assisting the Senate in raiding Java IslandBy the way, the captured slaves of Banten Kingdom were sent to Machen to be sold to the Senate for coal mine labor, which can be regarded as quite a quick start, and Shu Teng and Yake even set up an industry in Sili Harbor early.

It can be seen that Wang Xingping is quite concerned about the situation in the South Seas, "The Senate is attacking Java Island, and the Dutch will not give up, right?" And I remember that the Spice Islands should have a complex set of forces, so will this make everyone unite against us? ”

"At first we had this concern, but the Dutch sailors dispelled our fears." Gu Ziming laughed as he spoke, in fact, things were indeed unexpected by the elders.

It turned out that in the past six months, the number of low-level employees of the Dutch East India Company who had secretly traded with the Senate in various parts of the Senate had been increasing. At that time, the Dutch East India Company had very strict control over its employees, and its remuneration and trade commissions had to be remitted back to Amsterdam through the company, so it was not easy to smuggle them out for self-enrichment, and the East India Company was not absolutely fair within the company, and the high-level employees also had all kinds of exploitation of the low-level sailors.

The turning point came after the battle on the island of Java, which was due to a common local dispute, when the Chinese merchant Yang Kun had some business disputes with the local Banten nobles, so he turned to the Senate, which had also established a new merchant house in the area. The Dutch East India Company had long intended to build a fortress, so it secretly stirred up contradictions between the two sides. But after the New Year, the Fubo army swept across the sea and raided the mouth of the Chirion River, crushing the local garrison of Banten in one fell swoop, and by the way, expelling Patri Sully, the consul of Banten.

Under the initiative of Su Minggang, an overseas Chinese leader in Java, a large number of Chinese soon moved from Banten to this stronghold under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty of the same species, and the capital of Coconut City Mansion began to take shape in just one or two months, and the industrious and willing work of Chinese laborers coupled with the material and system support from the entire Australian Song Dynasty made this bridgehead of the Great Song Dynasty on the island of Java quickly established, and in less than half a year, this seaside village surrounded by swamps and tigers became a big place comparable to Banten Port.

Laurens Reael, the third governor of the East India Company, was dissatisfied with his treatment and the current situation, and simply quit before his term of office expired, and the new governor Jan Pieterszoon Coen took office hastily.

At the time of the transfer of power, the clever East India Company's low-level employees vaguely found that although those who claimed to be Song people were in trouble with the company at every turn, they were not hostile to them, and could even be said to be quite friendly. As long as they could take out the goods or cash that the Song people needed, whether it was silver, guilder or Spanish riyals, the exchange in Coconut City was all unimpeded, which naturally made it possible to use public and private affairs, and a large number of Dutch people participated in this private transaction, and three months later began to be troublesome to exchange the official currency of the East India Company into more convenient and easy to use Australian and Song banknotes to trade goods in the ports under the control of the Senate, whether it was large quantities of salt and sugar, or those luxury goods. These were goods that had previously been extremely difficult to trade privately, and the trusted governor of the East India Company did not seem to have much to do about them, except for the apparently unenforceable prohibition of luxury goods for the Dutch colonies in East Asia. By the time Gu Ziming left Saigon, he heard that the first batch of bearer treasury bonds issued by the Senate had many Dutch and British customers.

It is precisely because Coconut City and Ma Chen are involved in too many troops that they barely managed to gather enough 200 soldiers for Gu Ziming when they first opened up the mouth of the Jiulong River, and when the situation in the two places settled down during the self-defense counterattack of Puliange, a lot of troops were allocated to the strategy in the northwest direction.

Gu Ziming talked eloquently, but Wang Xingping was constantly sketching the map of Nanyang in his heart, what he heard today has added a lot of surprising content compared to Jin Yanze's words a few days ago, the development of the Senate in Nanyang is really a thousand miles a day, it is no wonder that he stretched out his hand to Daming so quickly, and it was also in Gu Ziming's mouth today that he learned that Fu Xiaofei had opened up a lot of situation on Hainan Island, and this Teacher Fu was one of the people he didn't know much in those days in Labuan, and his mood was inevitably a lot better.

Wang Xingping caressed the medicine box that Gu Ziming personally handed to him before, and his mood fluctuated a little, the box was a set of vaccines that Gu Ziming had taken out from the ship's inventory, from smallpox to tuberculosis, from hepatitis A to Japanese encephalitis, there were dozens of kinds, which was enough to ensure that Wang Xingping would not be infected by all diseases in this life.

However, Gu Ziming suddenly asked, "Xingping, have you thought about your future plans?" ”

When Wang Xingping heard this, he was a little panicked.

[Note: The Dutch city in Batavia and the change of governors were all in 1619, which advanced the time by a year in consideration of the development of the plot and the change of history, and in fact, the governor of Reyol has been dissatisfied with the treatment since he took office in 1615, and has said several times that he wants to hang up the crown, so this paragraph in the plot is also based on research]
