Seeing the surprised appearance of everyone, the Wu Lord began to explain the origin of why he wanted to build a city at the mouth of the Klang River: "You may not know, my emperor is wise and martial, Baoding has been blessed by the Jade Emperor from heaven, and His Majesty can also communicate with the Emperor of Heaven, he said that the Jade Emperor once dreamed with him, and when the Klang estuary enters, there will be a tin mining place, which is suitable for the establishment of a big city suitable for the survival and reproduction of our Chinese." You see, His Majesty has never been to Nanyang, and Wu has never been there, how could he know that there is such a place there, it is really the will of heaven. Therefore, even if a treaty was signed with the foreigners to return both Malacca and Singapore to the territory of the Chinese Empire, the imperial court would still build a new city in this Klang Valley. This is the will of the Emperor of Heaven, the will of His Majesty! ”

Seeing that everyone was full of doubts, Wu Ruxiao then explained: "What's more, not long after the empire was newly established, the naval strength of the imperial court is still very weak. Although the foreigners' fleet was defeated this time, the Nanyang fleet also suffered great losses, and it was not suitable to fight again. The three parts of the Taiwan Strait, namely Singapore, Malacca and Penang, are geographically important and are occupied by the British and the West, and they will not give up easily. It is likely that he would rather fight than give up. Moreover, before the Imperial Navy was strong, it would be difficult to hold even if it was occupied. Therefore, after discussing with several other adults, Wu still adopted a conservative approach, as it is now, and collapsed from the inside. This was done in accordance with His Majesty's will, to build a large city in this valley and develop it into an overseas residence of the imperial court in the South Seas, along with the neighboring islands of Borneo, Java, and ...... Together, well, you'll understand later. ”

Seeing the noble Lord Wu explain so patiently, everyone no longer doubted and joked, this was the will of the Jade Emperor and the Son of Heaven.

Ye Yalai saw Chen Yufa and cautiously stepped forward to report: "Lord Wu, the hour is not early, or let Ye Yalai lead the Lord to take a look around that river valley, right?" Ah Lai, don't lead the way. ”

Ye Yalai hurriedly flashed out, called two miners, and the three of them led the way together.

Lord Wu of the imperial court led the team into two teams, he led more than 100 guards or took armed steam merchant ships, along the Klang River upstream, and the rest of the more than 200 soldiers, under the leadership of some generals, followed Ye Yalai, who led the way, along the mountain road opened up by the miners on the riverbank, and set out. The Chinese leaders who followed from Singapore and Malacca also followed the procession, taking boats or along the riverbank.

After more than two hours, they came to the mine where Ye Yalai and their miners usually mined tin ore. The Oh man paused and inquired carefully, and learned that five or six miles further up the river was the confluence of the Klang River and another river called the Gomak, where there was an open flat area where some of their miners and some natives lived.

Lord Wu was obviously interested in Ye Ya's confluence of the two rivers, and insisted on going to check it out. So, after nearly an hour, the crowd came to the confluence of the Klang River and the Gomak River.

Lord Wu jumped out of the boat and looked at this empty river valley, which was a vast delta hitting the plain, but it was perfectly blended with the surrounding tropical jungle, and praised: "What a prosperous and livable place!" The valley is vast, with mountains in the distance to the east as a barrier, and hills to the north and south, sandwiched between it, and the climate is bound to be good and not to be struck by great storms. This must be the place where the city is to be built. ”

The Chinese leaders also stretched their necks to look into the distance, and indeed the vision was wide and the scenery was pleasant. However, they are thinking about how to survive.

However, Master Wu had already made arrangements. As soon as he gave an order to the entourage behind him, more than a dozen people dispersed and got busy. It didn't take long for people to come back and report to him.

Everyone was still checking the surrounding environment, and Lord Wu directly announced: "Wu has already sent someone to check, and this is the most suitable place to build a city." Chieftains, please see, these two rivers pass through this place, the water is abundant, the water flow is gentle, can be directly navigable to the sea, is a better natural port than the harbor, just build a wharf by this river bay, it is simply a small Guangzhou city or a small Fuzhou city. ”

As he spoke, Chen Jinsheng, the leader of Chaoxingjiapo, said, "Leader Chen, you see that if a new city is built here, it will be much stronger than that Xingjiapo, right?" The river is long and clear, not only navigable, but also solves the problem of water for residents in the city, directly from the upstream to build a canal, you can directly enter the new city, and even build a moat. Unlike Naxingapo, there was no water for the people to eat, and they had to travel miles outside the city to fetch water into the city. ”

Chen Jinsheng nodded, the water problem of the Chinese in Singapore has always been a pain in his heart, although it has been raised many times, it has not been solved, so that Singapore is really not suitable for building a city.

Master Wu continued: "My subordinates also checked the land around this place just now, and found that it was all impact plains, and the soil was fertile. And here is warm all year round, the sun is abundant, and the rainfall is abundant, and this river valley plain, which is reclaimed to grow crops such as rice, does not need to be fattened for several years, and can directly have a good harvest. That's what makes it possible to build a city here. Moreover, this place is twenty or thirty miles away from the sea, even if the sea tide or storm does not harm here, it is simply a heaven-sent place, worthy of the Jade Emperor's designated place. Moreover, from the mouth of this Ye brother, Wu also learned that there are still many minerals that can be mined around this river valley, and a large number of Chinese miners have been gathered here to make a living, and the conditions for building a new city have been met! ”

When everyone heard Lord Wu's analysis, it really made sense.

The Chen Jinsheng Chen leader from Xingjiapo had already shouted: "Lord Wu, my Chen clan in Xingjiapo obeyed the arrangement of the adults, and all the entire Chen clan moved here to build a new city and settle down. I, the Chen family, are also willing to donate 500,000 Shengyuan to fund the construction of the city by the imperial court. Everyone is very happy to be able to leave the rule of foreigners. As long as you can be protected by the imperial court and survive well, there is no villager brother who is unwilling. ”

And the boss Xue Maoyuan of Jiabidan Xue Mao in Malacca also shouted loudly: "Lord Wu, don't worry, Xue Mou will mobilize the brothers of the Fujian Hall in Malacca to publicize it when he goes back, and let everyone come here to help build the new city, and my Xue clan, like Leader Chen, donated 500,000 Shengyuan to build the city." We have long had enough of the foreigners' nests, and it must be a good thing to occupy this territory in this Nanyang and build our own Chinese homeland, which will be famous for centuries and for centuries, who would not be enthusiastic to participate? The adults and villains proposed to set up some stone monuments in the center of the city, and those who funded and participated in the construction of the new city here would have their names engraved on the stone tablets as a reward. ”

Lord Wu's eyes lit up and said, "What Leader Xue said is extremely true. Indeed, a monument of merit should be set up to commemorate our Chinese heroes and let future generations recite it through the ages! ”

Ye Yalai said cautiously: "My lord, the villain has a report, near the river valley here, there are three indigenous tribal forces, namely Selangor, Yasha and Kalanmu, who often come to the river valley to harass, especially Racha Abdullah in Selangor, this person controls several villages, has nearly 10,000 tribes, and 2,000 soldiers, and is one of the largest forces in the entire Malay indigenous tribe. We are mining tin here, and we are often attacked by these natives. If you want to build a new city, you have to meet them first and get them to agree. ”

When Lord Wu heard this, he laughed and said arrogantly: "Brother Ye was worried about this? Don't worry. Now that there are the soldiers of our Chinese Empire, even the foreigners can defeat them, not to mention these indigenous tribes, they are not afraid! However, Brother Ye mentioned it very well, and we can't take it too lightly, after all, these natives are familiar with the terrain, and this is not as good as the Central Plains, which is an undeveloped primeval jungle. Since they are next to the great city that we are about to build, it just so happens that it takes a lot of labor to build this city, so it is better to crusade against them and turn it into a coolie for work. It's like sending a pillow just to doze off. Where is Head Xi? ”

Ye Yalai saw a burly and athletic young officer, standing up from the crowd of soldiers in light gray uniforms, first saluting Lord Wu strangely, and then saying loudly: "Report to your lordship, Xi Baotian, the commander of the third main force of the 38th Infantry Division, reports to you, please instruct!" ”
