The crossing meeting was finally over, and Xu Lang and Cheng Yiyi returned to school and began to pack up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master Xu, I don't know when you will be able to come back after this trip?" Zhao Zhiruo took advantage of the fact that no one was there and came to Xu Lang's room.

"It's hard to say, it could be a few months, it could be a year and a half." Xu Lang put a piece of clothing in his backpack, "Annan is actually not far from us, take our own boat, and you can get there in a few days." I'll be back to see you when I'm free. ”

Zhao Zhiruo pursed her lips, wanting to speak and stopping.

"Miss Zhao, when we are away, you take care of yourself, and if you have something, go to Zhang Hai or Aunt He, and I will say hello to them." Xu Lang put down the things in his hand and wanted to appease Zhao Zhiruo, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he said, "Didn't Sun Gongzi come to say goodbye to you?" ”

"Nope." Zhao Zhiruo replied, "After they came back, Zhang Gongzi and Wei Gongzi came to see me twice, but Sun Gongzi never came. ”

"This Tianhao." Xu Lang shook his head helplessly, and just wanted to say something more, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open.

Cheng Yiyi stood at Xu Lang's door: "I said that you have cleaned up slowly, Jiang Beiming will have a meeting in a while, don't be late." ”

"What are you in a hurry, it's not too late." Xu Lang said and pointed to Zhao Zhiruo on the side, "Miss Zhao is also here." ”

"Zhiruo?" Cheng Yiyi found Zhao Zhiruo standing by the door, "Come to see Xu Lang off?" We haven't left so fast yet, and we'll have to have a send-off drink these days. ”

"Sister Yiyi, since you have something to do, I'll go back first, and I'll have classes in a while." Zhao Zhiruo turned around and left after speaking.

"Alas, I said Xu Lang." If Zhao Zhiruo left, Cheng Yiyi was not in a hurry, but sat down on the chair, "Miss Zhao is very interesting to you." ”

"That's what you said." Xu Lang pretended to be indifferent, "It's much more interesting to me, aren't you interesting to me?" ”

"you." Cheng Yiyi scolded with a smile, "I'll tell you something serious." ”

"Okay, then let's get serious." Xu Lang walked over and held Cheng Yiyi's hand.

Cheng Yiyi's heart suddenly swelled up with a sour heart, and she forced a smile and said: "What serious words can you have, I warn you, don't say that you can't forget your daughter-in-law." ”

"You're mistaken, I didn't mean that." Xu Lang smiled, "I want to ask you something." Shi Xianyang told me that you asked him to tell me that you are willing to follow the local customs, this thing is true or false. ”

"Really? Did I say that? How come I don't remember? Cheng Yiyi grinned and said, "When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere to do nothing." Go for yourself. ”

The two of them came to the conference room, and all the traversers who participated in the Vietnam operation had already arrived, Jiang Beiming beckoned: "Just wait for the two of you, hurry up, the meeting is going to start." ”

"Beiming, it's not the right time for you." Sun Tianhao said with a smile, "The little couple didn't know how to be intimate just now, so I asked you to call it back in a hurry." ”

The participants let out a burst of knowing laughter, and Cheng Yiyi glared at Sun Tianhao fiercely: "If you don't speak, no one will sell you as a dumb person." ”

Jiang Beiming waved his hand: "Okay, don't be kidding, let's have an official meeting." Let me start with the situation in Vietnam. Vietnam was conquered by the general Ma Yuan from the Han Dynasty and officially incorporated into the Chinese territory。。。。。。 ”

"Beiming." Xu Lang interrupted Jiang Beiming's words, "When did you become such a mother-in-law, let's not start with Tang Yao and Yu Shun." I am better at talking about history than you, so I will talk about the current situation. ”

"It's hard to have a chance to show your talent, and you don't want to listen to it." Jiang Beiming was helpless, so he had to point to the hand-drawn map of Vietnam on the table and said, "Okay, then talk about the current Vietnam." Vietnam is now divided into several regimes, mainly the Trung clan in the north and the Nguyen clan in the south. A major war broke out between the two sides in 1627, and as a result of the war, Vietnam was divided into north and south, with the Trung controlling most of the north and Nguyen taking most of the south. The dividing line between the two sides is on the Truong River in Quang Binh Province. This border is very close to the 17th parallel of north latitude. The area ruled by the Truong regime was densely populated, but the Nguyen also had some advantages. First of all, they are on the defensive. Second, Nguyen benefited from his contacts with Europeans, especially the Portuguese, by purchasing a number of European armaments and employing European military experts in the defense of the city. Thirdly, the geographical situation was favorable to them, and a large organized army was suitable only for the plains and wilderness, which were very rare in Vietnam, and the mountains were almost crowded into the sea.

After the first offensives, Nguyen established two main lines of forts, stretched across the flat land between the mountains and the sea. The city wall was erected near the city of Dong Hai in the north of Hue. Nguyen resisted the Trung offensive on this line until 1672.

Around 1635, the Trung followed Nguyen's lead and turned to the Europeans for military assistance, which was supported by the Dutch. But that was four years later. And now, according to Lu Lao, in 1630 and 1634, the Trần attacked Nguyen again, so that is, we are now going to land in Vietnam, just in time for them to fight. ”

"Since they're fighting, what should we do when we go, how do we farm?" Cheng Yiyi is still very worried about the food problem.

"There is also the problem of mining mining, how to open a mine in a war?" Sun Tianhao raised the same concerns.

"Huh." Jiang Beiming said with a smile, "Let Captain Gu introduce this question to you." ”

"Here's the way." "The main purpose of our trip to Vietnam this time was coal and grain. Vietnam's main sources of coal and grain are in the north, especially in Ha Long Bay. So our target is near Ha Long Bay, where the later Hongji Port is rich in Vietnam's most famous high-quality anthracite, and the coal seam is thick and the topsoil is thin, which is conducive to open-pit mining. The storage capacity is as high as 2.25 billion tons, which I estimate will be enough in a few decades. Moreover, we have a greater advantage in choosing Halong Bay, that is, the straight-line distance of Halong Bay from Yulin Bay is only 450 kilometers, the distance of the sea route is 300 nautical miles, and the distance from the route of Qiongzhou is 210 nautical miles, which is closer than Qiongzhou to Guangzhou. If our God is fast, it will be there in one day and one night. It's no different from our current journey from Yulin Bay to Qiongzhou Mansion. ”

"Moreover, in addition to the convenience of water transportation, that place is also far away from the battlefield where the Zheng and Ruan clans fought." Jiang Beiming took over the topic again, "It's very close to China, don't forget, I am now a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty, which is a condition that does not need to be used in vain." ”

"So how? Is it to fight by force, or to eat away a little bit by trade. Zhou Lei asked on the side, he served as the commander of the first company of the infantry of the mixed battalion.

"Everyone is still brainstorming on this issue, and I can't think of any good solution at the moment." Jiang Beiming threw the question to everyone again, "But the general principle is that the mixed battalion and the pioneer regiment should strive to gain a firm foothold and open up the situation in the least time. ”

"I have a solution, but I don't know if it's going to work." Xu Lang suddenly said, "How about being a mercenary?" ”

"Mercenaries? How to be a mercenary? The crowd asked.

"Think about it, since the Nguyen clan in the south can hire the Portuguese, can the Trung clan in the north also hire an army to fight for them? Besides, Jiang Beiming himself is a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty, and the Zheng family in the north has always been supported by the Ming Dynasty government, so it is only right for us to help them. Of course, you can't help in vain, you have to give some benefits. ”

"It's not impossible to say that, but it needs to be voted through the General Assembly." Jiang Beiming thought for a while about Xu Lang's proposal, "Because once we intervene in the Civil War in Vietnam, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to change history." In the past, whether we fought Westerners or Liu Xiang, we basically had to do it for our own survival and development. Now take the initiative to change history, or foreign history, how big the degree of change will be, how deep the degree of involvement will be, how much impact these will have on ourselves and the Ming Dynasty, I think these problems may not even be predicted by the two committees, which requires the decision of the entire crossing group. ”

"You, you." Xu Lang pointed at Jiang Beiming, "They all say I'm stupid, why are you sometimes stupider than me." ”

"How am I stupid?"

"Why are you stupid, don't you know yourself?" Xu Lang said, "More than 300 of us inexplicably arrived 400 years ago, which is to change history; We are now developing ourselves in Yulin Bay, which is changing history; In the future, we will defeat the Manchu Qing Dynasty and defend our Han Dynasty, which will change history. If you don't change history, do you still want to go back to that dark era? DO YOU STILL WANT TO WATCH MY CHINESE NATION SINK INTO IT? Now we are just changing history slightly, or foreign history, why are you so forward-looking? ”

"Well, don't make any noise." Sun Tianhao spoke, "I think it's better for us to come up with a specific plan for this matter, and then notify the two committees whether it is necessary to pass through the group to vote collectively and let the two committees make a decision." ”

After the meeting, everyone went about their own business. Two days later, the two committees notified the three-member group that Xu Lang's proposal could be passed without the need to submit it to the cross-group for a vote, but there was a problem, that is, to control the degree, try not to change history too much, do a small favor, beat the side drum, and don't do it on a large scale, because Yulin Bay also has a worry, that is, large-scale intervention may cause a wide range of casualties, at least until now, Yulin Bay still can't afford to die.

Not only can't I afford to die, but I'm afraid I can't afford to pay either. Zhang Guodong, Wang Zhaoxing, and Zeng Guangxian staged the scene at Yulin Bay Wharf and has now spread to most of Qiongzhou Mansion. Officers knelt down for the soldiers who died in battle, and adults carried coffins, not to mention the entire Ming Dynasty, even if you look at the history of China for more than 2,000 years, I am afraid you can't find one. What's more, Yulinwan then built a "Martyrs' Shrine" in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and the bodies of the two soldiers who died in the war were buried in the ancestral grave, but their spiritual seats were enshrined in the "Martyrs' Shrine", and two clothed mounds were built outside the "Martyrs' Shrine", and every day there were two soldiers carrying flintlock pistols to stand in front of the grave for the two people. In addition to a one-time pension of 200 taels of silver, the parents of the two people also have a monthly support fee of 2 taels of silver, which will be paid until the death of their parents. Those soldiers who were unable to continue serving because of serious injuries also received a disability pension of 100 taels of silver and a maintenance fee of 2 taels of silver per month after going through the formalities of discharge. This series of actions caused a sensation in the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture, from military households to officers, batch after batch of people inquired one after another, and the Yulin Bay militia still recruited soldiers or not.

After the God was repaired, it drove out of the shipyard and went directly to Qiongzhou with Jiang Beiming, Sun Tianhao, Liu Jun, Cheng Yiyi and others from the Qiongzhou office. Sun Tianhao wants to return to Qiongzhou to hand over the work to Liu Jun, while Jiang Beiming and Cheng Yiyi have to wait for Yao Han in Qiongzhou Mansion.

Yao Hanshi and Yao Dexiang's family took their Damingfu boat to Guangzhou before the Spring Festival, carrying a boatload of soap and glass, and the two sides agreed to meet in Qiongzhou Mansion after the Spring Festival, and Yao Hanshi would return to Annan with the Yulin Bay Pioneer Group.
