Taking advantage of the strong northeast monsoon, a large sea ship is riding the wind and waves and heading for the South Sea.

The temperature in the South China Sea in winter is still pleasant, even if the north is already icy and snowy.

Zhao Xin stood on the high stern of the ship, facing the wind, his face was full of excitement and apprehension. This is to get into the enemy's belly to act, if you really want to show your feet, don't look at his surname Zhao, but the Great Song Clan, he will also inevitably die.

Because his task is to do a good job.

Half of the dozens of people carried on this ship were Bai Fan, who had been secretly collected by the imperial court during this time.

Jin Yiwei has trained these white fans for three months, and now he has sent them to Nanyang, that is, to lurk. It is one to listen to the information of the indigenous feudal states such as Sriwijaya, and the second is to explore the power of the Celestial People in the South Seas. It's best to get in touch with the Celestial Merchants and talk to the local Church Elders.

Most of these white fans are also Celestials, but they are either desperate Celestial people, or Celestial Men who are used as slaves.

The main sources are a few major trading areas on the southeast coast, or on the prairies in the northwest.

After being taken over by the Zhao and Song Empires, it was natural to obey.

After all, the country is still a bit extravagant to the people of this era. In Central Asia, where the change of the king's flag is very common at the head of the city, a dynasty has gone from its initial rise to its demise, and it has only been more than a hundred years, and these Tianfang people have heard many stories of ups and downs from the day they were born. Not to mention that even the Seljuks are not the only ones in the Celestial World, and these Celestial people have a rather weak sense of statehood.

When training these white fans, what made Jinyiwei feel "tenacious" was the word faith. But in the face of life and death, faith seems to be less important.

After all, the spread of the belief in heaven also came with a knife in one hand and a scripture in the other.

In short, everything can change in the face of survival.

Abdullahman meekly knelt down under a statue of the Jade Emperor at this moment, chanting words in his heart, praying that the Great Celestial Venerable would bless him with safety. As for whether he will go to Hell when he dies, he does not think about it after the letter.

Just like what the instructor said, whether it is a true god, a great heavenly venerable, a Taoist ancestor, etc., even if they are all true gods, it is important to have a territory. After he Abdurrahman should have believed, he would be a member of the Great Song Dynasty, and even if he died in the future, it would be under the control of the gods of the Great Song Dynasty. The true god, a small god who has only appeared for three or four hundred years, how can he be bigger than the Jade Emperor Datianzun and Daozu, great gods who have existed thousands of years ago?

People are psychologically constructed. When a person makes a decision, he will spend the rest of his life looking for countless reasons to convince himself that the decision was the right one.

This was the case with Abdulrahman.

There are not many people like him in the fleet, even some are still a little reluctant, but in fact, they have already worshiped Lao Jun.

And in addition to the meticulous work that they had to put into the brocade guards, there were also 100 people on the ship, including accompanying crew members and transferred guards. After all, the sea in this era does not emphasize benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the so-called ship owners are full-time and part-time sea bandits.

If the ship had been robbed in the middle of the road, something would have happened.

Instead of reaching the Old Port, the ship entered Temasek. The latter is also only a small seaport, but it is not small. Because this harbor was bought by a prince of Zhao Song from the hands of the Three Buddhas for money. As a result, Temasek Harbour is still very simple, but its name has long spread throughout the South Seas.

Whether you're a white fan or an Bumiputera, you know that Temasek's future prospects are limitless.

Because the ships of the Chinese merchants are naturally going to Temasek, especially because the geographical location of the place is still prominent.

However, this Temasek is only a concession, not a territory of the Great Song Dynasty. The administrative and military system here was only the private property of the Great Song Prince, not the Zhao and Song Empire. Therefore, the military power is not strong, and because of the contract signed at the time of the lease before, the Sriwijaya has strict restrictions on it.

The pier trestle is also a simple trestle made of logs, and the ships are approached to the berths and a large amount of supplies are unloaded.

From silk and satin to porcelain and lacquerware, from medicine and tea to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there were too many supplies in the Nanyang countries to rely on the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In addition, there are a number of weapons, but not in large quantities. Because Temasek's military power is limited?

But in addition to the fine work to be released, there were several talents of all kinds who had been recruited from the country, including two doctors, two tailors, two veterinarians, two masons, two blacksmiths, and four carpenters.

Zhao Kai is also "Lao Tzu's team has just opened, more than a dozen people have seven or eight guns", and Temasek has a special environment, so it can only be like ants moving, slowly pouring down to the island.

Like the Natuna Islands, and Maya, which later became Luzon, the speed of port construction there was super fast in this era.

Zhao Xin also disembarked with the team, and the head of the Temasek intelligence station came to greet him with a smile on his face. This is his immediate boss.

At this time, the port of Luzon was later Manila.

A celestial spinnale with a lion flag was slowly sailing into the port, and the owner of the ship, Udharma, stood in the bow, looking at Luzon Port, which had become unrecognizable after not seeing it for a short time, and there was a sense of surprise in his heart.

The last time he came here, the port of Luzon had not even been built, but now even the lighthouse was almost finished.

On the shore, the officials of the city shipping department, who had been waiting for a long time, took an orderly step and led their entourage to board the sea ship. He was already preparing for the ship as soon as it entered port.

This is because the merchant ship can only anchor in the waters of Manila Bay until it is allowed to enter the port.

Stealthily taking the few gems that the owner had placed in his palm, the officer slowly entered the hold and began to inspect the cargo inside.

"They are all fine copper ingots, tin ingots and cotton, all of which are duty-free strategic materials. Well, Captain Yodharma, you can go to customs. Hurry up and get through the formalities, I have to congratulate you on a good business. Recently, the price of copper in my Great Song Dynasty has gained a new amount, and now the market for copper ingots is very good, and you have made a lot of money. ”

The official, a Chinese born in Nanyang, immediately smiled at the captain after inspecting some of the containers.

It is not surprising why such people have a place in the city of Manila, they can speak indigenous and astronomical languages, and some can even understand the Tamil language of Tianzhu, which is the most needed talent in the city.

Udama is a merchant from the Tianzhu Chola Empire, selling copper ingots, gems and cloth from the Tianzhu Continent to the South Seas, which is a good business that is sure to make money without losing money. As long as he doesn't encounter a storm or a robber.

The second time you run the Luzon route, you can make a lot of money, which makes Udamour very happy. Unfamiliar trade routes always make many people 'retreat without a fight', and it is those who do not have the spirit of adventure that can make Udamour complete his second trade journey in less than a month after the first Luzon trade that has just ended.

He did not return to Chula at all, but bought copper ingots, cotton and other materials urgently needed by the Chinese in the old port, and then came to Luzon again.
