[It's the end of the month, ask for a ticket]

"Yu Si Wannian—"

"The Great Empire of China—"

"The mountains are independent—"

"The river spreads the wave of civilization—"

"Trillions of peoples and gods—"

"The land is big and the products are rich—"

"Yang my Great Song Dynasty Imperial Emblem——"

"Sing the Song of My Empire—"

The 150 soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the Japanese Army were neatly lined up in 10 rows, and each line of 15 people stood upright in each row, and the rifles and bayonets on the muzzles of the rifles held diagonally in their hands officially announced the takeover of this place by the Great Song Army.

The weather is getting hotter, there is air conditioning in Labuan, and there are still freshly made ice cubes in Port Sili, so that Gao Qi's temperature will not lose his appetite and delay his three meals a day. However, most of the veterans who worked in the grandfather were also accustomed to the local eating habits, eating a full meal early in the morning, and when the sun was hot, they would no longer eat, and only eat more fruits and wine, or hide in the shade to slowly wrap up betel nuts to pass the time.

It is the same today, after the early morning on the shore, after hastily using up some fresh water, there is an urgent matter to be done, and the main point is only a declaration of sovereignty.

"The name Kota China Baru is really a mouthful."

Cui Xueli shaded the sun with her hands, and whispered in her mouth. As the editor-in-chief of "Xinhua Daily", she is responsible for the writing of news articles, and of course she hates this long and awkward name, but she only pours it to her girlfriends on weekdays.

Xiong Ningning would comfort people, and while the chiefs knelt down at the bottom of the steps, he said to Cui Xueli: "The new name has already been decided. ”

"Oh? What is it called? ”

"Kota Kinabalu."

"It's really good."

Kota Kinabalu is the god of fire in the local population, and was used as another name by Chinese merchants, but when it came to the naming of the political hall, it was given a unique explanation.

'Sheltering the northeastern barrier of Borneo, it is the capital of the road. ’

After singing the Japanese army's song, the Polaris flag was already flying high in the sky of Kota Kinabalu.

Guo Lansheng took the lead, connected with the merchants and nobles in Hong Kong, and then bowed up.

Only the old patriarch of the Bajau tribe led the chiefs of the thirteen tribes around the sacred mountain and refused to rise.

Guo Lansheng was suspicious, so he listened to the voice of the old patriarch leading the hair, and the rest of the Mulu, Kadashan and other departments also echoed together.

Probably to show sincerity, the old patriarch spoke the request in half-baked Chinese, and with the help of the general, he finally let the chiefs understand the reason why the heads of the various tribes had traveled dozens of miles of mountain roads to meet them.

"I beg the imperial court to give me a good prescription for immortal medicine, so that the people of my sacred mountain will not suffer from the disease."

"Today, the villain and others are specially presented with the household registration book."

"The thirteen tribes are willing to be loyal ministers of the Great Song Dynasty for generations to come."

Xiong Jingjing said in his heart that Li Xiao is really a good hand, and in a few days, even the natives of the thirteen departments were subdued, compared to the Western Route Army in Dudong and Bashi River, it also relied on killing people to establish power, and the method of relying on medicine to open the way is indeed not bad. Where did the natives of Nanyang come from? Most of it was also done with Li Xiao's help, but with such a scene, the big clans and wealthy families in Kota Kinabalu had to weigh in their eyes, how much capital the port sandwiched between the north and the south could resist the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the Song people said a word, the leaders of these tribes believed that they were very willing to serve their new masters, and now it seems that Li Xiao's arrangement is really not superfluous.

The political affairs hall has already decided to set up the thirteen tribes as a new Shenshan Township, and the governance office is in the ancient Damaolu where the Bajau Department is located today, precisely because it is the most obedient. And the 300 warriors gathered by the various tribes all came to Kota Kinabalu with the heads of the various families this time, and the Bajau family alone came with 50 men, and Tawang and Chai Long were also among them, which was to move out the old family members. In the past, whoever dared to do this would be worried about being exploited by other clans, but now with the backer of the Great Song Dynasty, they will only sharpen their heads and see who is more deferential.

…………

In the last days of the dry season, even in the morning, it was sweltering.

In such days, the wealthy families of Brunei always tried to stay at home, and at this time of year, the rich families would always let their servants fan while they enjoyed betel nut and tobacco, while chatting about anecdotes about the city and the sea.

Although the owner has actually changed, this habit will not be easily changed, it is nothing more than the climate, and no one can control it.

The only difference is that the enjoyment is much more exquisite, and I don't know when ice cubes appeared in the market, and small pieces of crushed ice and cut fruit were put together, which was a rare pleasure in the scorching summer. A three-foot-square lump of ice can be delivered to your home for only 20 cents, and you can spend more than a month and a half to get through the most difficult time of the year.

Ox carts covered with deerskin and felt pulled ice from the port to the city, and then pulled down the carts with iron hooks to deliver them to each house, hurrying along the way, without much less weight of goods. Putting such a large piece in the hall can make the day much better, at least in this matter, Murting feels that it is really not a bad thing since the Song people came, and the one in the palace city is now not less affordable, and the largest pieces in the ox cart every day are sent to that one to enjoy, and I don't know what the Song people think, raising eggs is not possible? Of course, Murting originally had no position to ridicule, after all, his own share is still because of his status as a member of the CPPCC, and he is subsidized for free by the Department of Economic Strategy, which is called an allowance, of course, it is only one piece a day, and if it is more, he still has to spend his own money, and sometimes Murting will feel that this chief is really good at business, and his own son should learn more.

After eating the fruit, the sour plum marinade served in pure white Song porcelain on the ice cubes was just cold, and there was nothing in the world that could open the appetite more than this iced drink in the hot summer, and if there was, it could only be in the warehouse of the Song people.

"Father, there's going to be a big battle in the south."

The young man is lean, and he really doesn't look like a father and son when he stands in front of his own son.

Gu Li Xing took over the family's business, and he was also diligent, so that Murting could enjoy it at home with confidence, and now he can get the position of a member of the CPPCC, although he also knows that he does not have much real power, but at least it shows the attitude of the Song court, and the family can be regarded as Antai. The day before yesterday, the big iron ship of the Song people went south, and everyone knew that such a formation would never be a small fight, and the Economic Strategy Division also released the words early, clearly saying, 'Under the Putian, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister'.

For this reason, all the businessmen on Brunei's side are gearing up, just waiting for another piece of the pie.

Murting lazily lifted himself in the rocking chair, since he chose this chair to lie down and rest in the Song people's business, this old man has been unable to leave all day, especially in this weather, he is reluctant to move.

Gu Li Xing has long been accustomed to seeing his father like this, since the family has added a variety of fashionable Song people to enjoy, his parents are happy to do this, and I don't know if they really like it or just for Tao Hui, although they didn't notice that someone was watching, but it is not a secret that the Song people are well-informed, think about it, at least don't panic, unlike the one in the palace.

At this time, he saw that Murting had already taken a sip of his drink, so he slowly spoke again, "Do you still need to fight this battle?" ”

"It's a son's mouth."

This battle really doesn't need to be fought, how many people can there be in Kuching? How many ships? Others don't know, can his precious son still be unclear about being a merchant on the sea route for a long time? Clear-eyed people should have understood that sooner or later the whole Borneo will be surnamed Zhao, yes, it's just sooner or later, and he has already been on the big ship of the Song people, and now he is standing on the bow of the boat to watch the leisurely appearance of fish.

"There's no harm in paying more attention to current affairs, this committee member of your Lao Tzu is not obtained for nothing, are you blind as a leader?"

Gu Li Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, "My son has already ordered it, so I will go to the dock to arrange and let the family's fleet go south." ”

"Confused."

Murting finally straightened up, his eyes wide open to see Guri Xingxin's hair startled.

"You don't want to think that if you go to Kuching, other businesses will be so generous?"

Fortunately, Guli Star finally has a benefit that can reassure Murtin, that is, if he doesn't understand, he asks, "Since we are already good citizens of the Great Song Dynasty, and our father is a member of the committee, how can we go?" Could it be that my father felt that the leaders could not succeed this time? ”

Gu Li Xing didn't believe it himself, and sure enough, he saw Mtin couldn't help but glance at his son, "Let me ask you again, what are you going to Kuching for?" ”

Gu Li Xing said: "Since it is for business, and besides, the leaders didn't say anything about the agent last time, if you don't follow the big iron ship, how can the leaders see the loyalty of my family?" ”

"It's not bad, but it's still not safe enough." Although there is still a hint of sarcasm in his words, it is obvious that Murting still agrees with his son's opinion, and the successor he chose is still the only male in the family, who has been cultivated since he was a child, and his knowledge is not too bad, and Murting has returned to his previous leisurely appearance in the rocking chair. "It's true that the big iron ship went to the south, but the imperial court's line is still on Labuan Island."

Gu Li Xing chewed the deep meaning of his father's words, as if he had an understanding.

Murting also didn't care if his son could think through or not, and continued.

"You also read the newspaper a few days ago, the merchant station of the Francois was uprooted by the Japanese army, those Hongyi have been buying pepper at the mouth of the bus river, accounting for almost thirty years, when I first came, my father was still working under your grandfather, how many tribal bandits have been helpless over the years, but now the chiefs are here, what is the result?"

"And then there are the natives, I heard that the tribes that were exterminated in Bai Layi this time all followed the official army all the way from Tanjung Maya, but they coveted other families in the local area, how did the chiefs do it?"

Seeing that Gulixing still didn't understand, Murting simply said his conclusion.

"So you think that the chiefs have just taken Kuching, and it is inevitable that they will have to be cleaned."

"There is a high and low in the south in the panic, no one can guarantee an accident, besides, how much cargo can be loaded on the big iron ship?"

"Then what does my father mean that the family will not fight? I've heard that several fleets are loading and want to try their luck in the south, and now the tide is good, and in two or three months, when the wind is reversed, it will be safe to come back. ”

"You are also used to business, so my father asks you, if there is a deal in front of you that makes a lot of money and does not lose a million profits, do you think you can do it or can't do it? As a father, I don't remember teaching you to be far away. ”

Gu Lixing's body trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What does my father want to do?" ”

Murting motioned for his son to come up, and after saying a few words, he saw Gu Lixing's brows frowning slightly, and he said suspiciously: "Hospital? ”

"That's right, it's the hospital." Murting's answer was unmistakable.

"My son is stupid, but I still don't know what this has to do with the family's business?"

"In the future, you will naturally understand that this is also for my father to learn some fur from the leaders."

"When will you do it?"

"It's best to do it on these two days."

Guli Xing has always done things very quickly, and he was about to get up when he heard this, but he was stopped by Murting.

"There is one more thing you have to write down, now this Borneo is already the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and our family can be regarded as a change of court, the day before yesterday, I asked for a gentleman and asked for a Han surname, and this post is your future name."

When Guli Xing was a merchant, he knew some Chinese characters, and he saw that the word 'Mu Xing' was written on the post.

Murting explained: "Mu is our family's surname in the future, and you have to remember your father's Chinese name." ”

Gu Lixing went to look at another post that Murting was holding in his hand, but it was written 'Mu Haogu'.

was thinking about the meaning of this word, but suddenly realized that his own Lao Tzu actually learned Chinese quietly?
