Since coming here with refugees from Jiangbei across the sea ten years ago, Shen Jiayu's family has lived a hard life for several years like the refugees here.

Although it was early autumn, it was still the height of summer for Sumatra, which was close to the equator, and for the first year, all the families lived in tents, which was fortunately not as cold as in the north, even though half of the manpower had to be used to cut down trees and build houses and water conservancy, and the other half of the people's main work became land reclamation.

The first crops such as rice are planted, and at the beginning of summer, the outline of the settlements throughout the valley gradually takes shape, and the wheat fields run along the river.

Tens of thousands of acres are stretched on this side of the river valley, a new suspension bridge connects both sides of the riverbank, and farther away, the breeding areas of various livestock are gradually delineated, and several watchtowers on the hill have been built, but in terms of the living needs of more than 10,000 people in the valley, what a huge project.

It is a five- or six-year-old child like himself, also under the organization of his mother, who enters the deep forest to collect fruits, fortunately it is not like his hometown here, that is, he will starve to death if he does not farm, and the endless tropical fruits picked in the forest can fill his belly, and just relying on women and children can make a family not lack food, Shen Jiayu finally knows why the natives here are so lazy.

With the unremitting efforts of these hard-working people in Daxia, this rich oily land, half a year passed, Shen Jiayu's family finally got their own house, named this gathering area in Palembang, and they prefer to call him Nanjing, this is the desire for a better life, almost every day, are experiencing getting bigger, especially after the dam is formed, the paddy fields are not affected by drought and flood, and the speed of settlement changes is even more drastic.

During this period, according to the regulations and plans written by Gan Tang, Gan Sheng and other management personnel made great efforts, they not only controlled the construction of the entire Nanjing, but also gave a lot of lectures every day in terms of cultivating talents.

This kind of lecture is roughly divided into three categories: first, it is to explain the principle of all things and the principle of things to the craftsmen, second, it is to teach the managers in the valley the knowledge of manpower arrangement, about the concept of efficiency, and third, it is to tell a group of disciples, children, and even some relatively quick-thinking officers in the army about some of their own ideas, analysis of current affairs, speculation of the overall situation, and what people should look like.

And when he is arranging work for others, why he is arranged in this way, when he can say it, he will try to explain it to the government officials around him in layman's terms.

Such things, including the first two kinds of lectures, for them, are a crash course to inculcate modern science and modern management as quickly as possible and cultivate such talents, and only the third kind of course has a long-term, argument-like feeling.

But in the eyes of others, it is naturally different. These things will be considered to be the embodiment of Gantang's own philosophy.

Emphasis on law, efficiency, material, employment, craftsmen, businessmen, do not despise lowly industry, and emphasize personal self-discipline and awakening...... These things are naturally different from the Confucian system itself.

In the South Seas, Palembang is horrific in terms of efficiency. From the initial demarcation and preparation, to the construction of dams and the reclamation of fields, to the present day, the archipelago is like a giant beast entrenched, swallowing earth and rocks, flattening the ground, and turning desolate places into houses, and the speed of change seems to continue to extend to the entire island.

From that settlement, a muddy street was first formed here, and by the third year, it was formed a neat block, the application of concrete, the formation of an underground pipe network, I am afraid that there is no more tidy city in the world, and it seems to contain full of vitality.

The population continues to increase, and now there are more than 100,000 people living in this most prosperous city in Nanyang, known as the 'Pearl of the Orient', where there are not only Bactrian people, Nanyang natives, but also Arabs from the Middle East and white Europeans, forming an international metropolis.

In the process of development, nature is also facing huge problems. At first, the natives just watched indifferently, but after the relocated Bactrian people gradually became richer than the surrounding natives, several surrounding countries began to stretch out their greedy hands and began to invade and rob.

After several skirmishes, it was undoubtedly the Bactria people who had won a complete victory, and after several tentative conflicts, they inevitably ushered in the biggest crisis in Nanyang Province in the fourth year of their relocation.

The Chinese nation is a people with a broad mind, Gan Sheng ignored the danger on the island in the early stage, and Deng Yu and the two visited hundreds of tribes, large and small, most of the tribes were still able to integrate into this thriving regime after getting benefits, but the Javanese, the largest ethnic group on the island, were not so friendly.

Before the Han Chinese migrated here, they regarded themselves as the rulers of the area, often oppressing and exploiting the Madura and Malay ethnic groups. More than 100 tribes lived on this island, more than 100 people, who established more than 20 countries, and these small states paid tribute to the kingdom of Koshari, founded by the Javanese, and provided the best supplies for the Javanese to enjoy.

It was not until the arrival of the Bactria people, with the occupation of the entire island of Sumatra, that everything changed here, and with the support of the Han Chinese, Ceylon and Zhenwax, which were close to Sumatra, first refused to submit to the Keshali Kingdom and formed a strategic alliance with the Nanyang Province of Bactria Province.

Several other countries were also ready to move, until the seventh year of immigration, the Koshari Kingdom united with eight other small countries to launch the first large-scale war against the Nanyang Province of Great Xia, which is not difficult to see the shadow of the Europeans behind the instigation, otherwise these dozen small countries would not have such courage, from the weapons and equipment they used, it can be seen that from the West, no longer simple copper weapons, part of the coalition army used European iron armor and composite bows.

Every day, in the small square in the center of Palembang, someone brings news from the outside world. The urgency of the outside world, the battle situation of hundreds of thousands of coalition troops advancing from dozens of countries around it. There will also be people in that square, announcing the progress of various things, but anyone who cares can see that Sumatra is facing a threat of extinction from all sides.

The threat of the Westerners is one of the most important, they control the port of Singapore on the north shore of the Strait of Malacca, at first including all forces in Southeast Asia, did not pay attention to the landing of Bactria in Sumatra, and when the Bactria gradually gained a foothold and quickly became stronger, and after controlling the southern shore of the Strait of Malacca, they formed a strong restriction on the trade between the East and the West, and had seriously threatened the status of the port of Singapore occupied by the Dutch.

Sumatra gained a firm foothold, and the first thing Nanyang Province faced was the threat from the west, and for those natives, Gan Sheng did not take it very seriously.

These factors that promote the continued operation of Nanyang Mansion are interlinked, and the loosening of each link may lead to the collapse of the whole picture, but during this time, the whole overall situation is working in such a strange way.

Sumatra faced the situation in the outside world, even in an ideal state - even if the Western countries did not stretch out their hands to Nanyang Mansion for the time being, Gan Sheng and the others had enough difficulty for him, and at this time, the demons were dancing wildly, and they entered a state of almost imminent eruption.

On the Koshari side, after receiving financial support from several Western countries, Suharto sent an emissary demanding the surrender of Nanyang Province, informing him of the future fate of Nanyang Province: surrender or destruction.
