Bai Hui asked Tian Wen why Borneo was important in his eyes.

Tian Wen said with a smile: "You are testing me, according to the world." Nangang, Da Nang, Mekong Port, Luzon Port, plus this island, this sea is the inner sea of my summer, we have few people, and the outside is too far to manage, but this is our sea. ”

What a sentence about our sea.

Even if they used any tricks to kill each other, they fought until the end, at this time, Tian Wen said our family's sea, Bai Hui bowed.

That's right, this sea is our sea.

Two days later, the ship that had returned to deliver the letter left, and Bai Hui also headed west with a small fleet.

Find Temasek and walk along Malacca to the other side of the strait, then go west for a few more days to make sure it's all out of the sea and get back to the western exit of Malacca.

To the south of the strait, a monument was selected, and then to the north of the strait, another monument was selected.

Next, the fleet went back and forth in Malacca about five times in order to draw a map of the whole of Malacca, as well as a map of the waters.

There are as many as 20 locations suitable for the construction of ports at the exits on both sides of the strait.

Bai Hui knew that this was an important strait for later generations, but he did not remember the specific location of the port.

Where Malacca City is, Bai Hui is also unclear.

At least there are three places where the sailors can build a port on the north shore of the strait, so these three places may be the future Malacca City for Bai Hui.

A simple map is easy, but a detailed map of the strait requires a field survey.

Then, Temasek is completely different from later generations, there is no port at all, according to the opinion of marine professionals, it is true that this is a deep-water port, but to build a good port, it will take 100,000 zhang of stone to open the stone, and a lot of cement will be needed to repair the wharf.

If it is appropriate, it is about 100 miles deep into the strait, which is a natural harbor.

The best port is one about 200 miles deep into the strait.

"Dahejun, a fortress can be built at the exit of the coast, if you talk about a good port, it is more suitable to be in this place on the coast."

An inch-thick pile of information was piled up in front of Bai Hui.

Bai Hui looked at the above information, and the result of the exploration was indeed that Temasek could not become a good port under the current technical conditions, and the concept of a deep-water port would be useful for the 100,000-ton giant ship coming from 2,000 years later.

For the current 500-ton wooden ship, there is a calm harbor that can shelter from the wind, and there are natural stable waters, which is a good harbor.

"Re-exploration." Bai Hui was still a little unwilling.

Controlling the entire Malacca is too important for Bai Hui, especially the importance of an outlet to the sea.

No, it's no.

Not to mention re-exploration, it is to re-explore ten times, and if it is not suitable, it is not suitable.

Eventually, Pak Hui abandoned the idea of building Temasek and chose a possible location for the future city of Malacca, which had not only enough plains, but also mountains, rivers and river estuaries.

The sailor's exploration team gave Bai Hui a more detailed report.

"Dahejun, there is also a good place on the south bank of the strait, it is the mouth of a big river, there is a very big island at the mouth of the sea, and the upper reaches of the river are plains, we have sent people to see it, and there are people."

"Anyone?"

"I'm sure there are people, compared to the tribes that are similar to the Japanese and the southern monkeys, they haven't sent people to go deeper, and it's possible that they also have kings, so it's better to put them on the north bank, at least in ten years, there will be no foreign enemies at this time, and you can slowly build a city."

The opinion of the general of the naval division is very pertinent.

What Bai Hui didn't know was that Malacca was an important base when Zheng He went to the West.

Zheng He built a city here, and also built a large wharf.

"Well, here it is. Mark the location, erect a stone monument, and then we are on the big island of Borneo. ”

It took Bai Hui a long time to leave Borneo to explore his future territory, and the food on the ship had long since been eaten, and the last month or two of the food was made to hunt and gather fruit for food.

Finally, back in Borneo, all the crew wanted to do was a bowl of rice, or corn, or something.

After getting off the boat, Bai Hui felt that he didn't know this place anymore.

Outside the wharf, as far as the eye can see, it is green, and it has turned into a vegetable garden.

Then outside the docks, ten miles of wooden houses in a row.

The temporary dwelling on the wharf was long gone, and the dwelling was thirty miles inland, and there were not only wooden houses, but also a complex of buildings, and houses made of brick and stone, and gardens under construction.

Looking at the population again, Bai Hui felt that there were at least 20,000 people on this pier.

Knowing that Bai Hui was back, Lian Po specially came out to greet him.

Of course, there is another meaning for Lian Po to greet him, that is, to complain.

"Bai Hui, Lao Lian Po is not happy in his heart, you can't be fair."

"What do you want to do first?"

Bai Hui hasn't come back to his senses yet, he has only been away for a few months, and this place has changed a lot.

Lian Po pointed around: "Don't you know, the 30,000 Chu troops who originally went to attack the Nan Monkey and gathered in Nangang actually only sent 5,000 Chu troops to the Red River Delta, and then transferred another 70,000 young and strong soldiers from Chu State, as well as 30,000 soldiers who were not very elite, and kept going to Nangang." ”

"And then?" Bai Hui didn't quite understand what was going on.

Lian Po pointed to the surroundings: "Do you know that the current 30,000 Chu troops and 20,000 Chu people here have opened up a full 500 miles to the island, and I don't think it will take another year to make all the places on this island except for the impermeable old forests, which can be stepped on by the Chu people." ”

"What's wrong with this, this?" Bai Hui still didn't quite understand.

Lian Po was angry: "He Xiang Shan, if he wants to be shameless, he said that everyone will hunt together, my Zhao army has not arrived until now, and he actually transported 30,000 Chu troops, is there any one on this island who is cheap?" ”

Bai Hui finally understood.

The Chu people are too fast, and too crazy, Lian Po is also too slow, so far, the first batch of Zhao troops has not yet arrived, and the Chu State has already transported the third batch of people and horses.

Hahaha!

Hearty laughter, Wei Ran was wearing the flowery shirt that Bai Hui originally liked to wear in tropical places, then the long middle pants with large flowers and flax, and the straw flip-flops on his feet.

Wei Ran smiled very happily.

"Lao Lian, it's not me saying you, you have time to sue here, it's better to scold Zhao Hao, he is too stingy."

"Houhou." Bai Hui clenched his fists and saluted.

Wei Ran raised his hand: "It's nothing, who are we with whom." You don't know, this Lao Lian and Xiang Shan have already fought twice, and the two of them are really masters, and their martial arts are amazing. ”

"Don't fight, don't hurt peace." Bai Hui persuaded.

Wei Ran said to Bai Hui: "The king has abdicated. ”

"What?" Bai Hui was taken aback.
