And there is another advantage of the medicine cake made in this way, that is, it is moisture-proof, it doesn't matter if it is a little wet, the surface of the whale wax has formed a natural protective film, and it is difficult for water to penetrate into the medicine cake. However, these cetacean waxes will not affect the ignition of gunpowder, and there is no residue after combustion, and even make the inner wall of the barrel more greasy and corrosion-resistant, which is really a good way to kill N in one fell swoop.

In order to make his daughter-in-law happier, Hong Tao gave all the credit for this incident to Bo Zhu, reported it to the board of directors, and recorded it. These people who have made meritorious contributions to Jinhewan will appear on the monument in the middle of the new city, Hong Tao's name must be able to go up, and now Bozhu can also go up, which is called husband and wife. Bo Zhu was happy, and especially allowed Hong Tao to hold her for a long time in the morning, and the movement was very loud.

As for the heavy oil left over from those few tons of oil refining, it can be regarded as waste utilization. It was of little use in Golden River Bay, except for a small amount of fuel for smelting, most of it was encapsulated in cans, and every time a whaling ship sailed, it would take half a boat with it and put it hundreds of kilometers away, closer to the shore of Manila Bay. It's uninhabited, and it won't be too polluted if there are tanks, so let's use it as a landfill for chemical waste. Heavy oil is toxic to burn, and seeping into land and water sources will also pollute the environment, or long-term pollution, Hongtao can't find a more suitable way to deal with it.

Now Hong Tao finally has a source to consume this toxic waste, and he wants to turn this heavy oil into a chemical weapon to destroy the port cities of East Java. Not only to destroy, but also to make those places dead, and for a few years or even a dozen years, they will not be suitable for human habitation. It would be inhumane to do so. But wasn't it a bit brain-dead to be humane in the thirteenth century? The moral standards of later generations are not fit for now. As the old saying goes, you know etiquette when you are sufficient. Most people in the world are still struggling to fill their stomachs. Talk to the people at this time, and no one listens. The reason why the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed by others was largely because its civilization standards were too high. A lot of things are missing, too many can't be done, if the country is all people like Wen Nan in power, sooner or later the country will be destroyed.

"Swan, your father has given these people to you to rule, and you still put on your armor. Be a cavalryman with them, and if your father knows what you are, he'll hate me to death." "Having picked up the Mamluks at the port of Brunei, Hong Tao's fleet did not stop and set sail directly along the northern coast of Kalimantan to the west. After listening to the interpreter and reading the letter of the Mamluk chieftain to himself, Hong Tao shouted at the mast.

Swanzi followed Hong Tao back to Jinhe Bay, like a curious mouse, scurrying around all day, looking at everything fresh. His age is the time when the brain begins to think. The original life environment made him think about very little things, and now he suddenly entered a completely unfamiliar social environment. Although the language barrier is different, he can still feel the many differences between Jinhewan and his hometown.

Young people learn things quickly, and Swan's language talent is also good, in less than two months, he can understand some Chinese, and he still can't speak, but this does not hinder his love for big ships. Since he came to be Hong Tao's bodyguard, so Hong Tao went out, and he followed, every time he got on the boat, as long as Hong Tao did not object, he would learn sailing skills with those sailors. Relying on his already agile skills, when he got through the seasickness period, he was able to climb up and down on the mast, from a cavalry to the navy infinitely close.

Hong Tao did not care about what he wanted to do, and did not expect him to stay with him for a long time, and when the trust of the Mamluks and his own increased, he planned to return him to the Mamluk chief. People are just such a son, if they get sick and die here, this thing can't be explained clearly, and if they don't make friends, they will become enemies. But Swann apparently did not think so, he was more interested in the sea and the navy than in horseback riding, and after completing the task assigned to him by Hong Tao every day to train the Marines in horsemanship, he ran back to mingle with the sailors.

"I shoot cannons! Don't ride a horse! Swann didn't even come down to read the letter, and rejected Hong Tao's suggestion directly on the mast.

"I'll count three, and you won't come down, there's no cannon, there's no horseback, there's a bucket of seawater! 1. 2、...... "Hong Tao now does not lack such a sailor or gunner, and what is even more lacking is the cavalry commander.

"I want to be the conductor of a big ship, I can learn!" Swann knew very well what a bucket of seawater represented, and he climbed faster than a monkey, so he jumped down in two strokes, took his father's letter, looked at it briefly, and returned it to Hong Tao.

"Well, if you take down one city, I will allow you to be a sailor for a month, and if you take down three, I will let you be a midshipman." Hong Tao didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him, he couldn't talk about it, and he couldn't understand the big truth, so it was the easiest thing to exchange.

"Ten, I can knock down ten!" Swan's bragging is neater than Hongtao, and he hasn't seen any kind of city, there are ten.

"Ten? If you fight down a hundred seats, you have to start learning from a midshipman, and you can't just become a captain! Go and see your cavalry in the cabin, and tell them what I mean, and they won't understand what I say. Hong Tao waved and drove the foolish boy away like a fly.

"Come on, Lao Wen, let's continue, I just talked about Champa, can we not talk about it in such detail, I just want to understand what is going on here." After arranging the work of mercy and sending Swan away, Hong Tao sat down again and pointed to the map of Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Kalimantan and Java and drew a circle. Wen Nan was an expert in the country's foreign relations at this time, but his way of telling it was too detailed, and a Cham could talk about it for several days. Hong Tao was not interested in understanding how the Vietnamese fought among themselves, nor did he want to know how the Angkor and Siamese founded their country, he just wanted to find out the approximate sphere of influence on these islands, and then calculate where to fight and where not to fight.

"Don't ask for a ...... understanding" Wen Nan was very dissatisfied with Hong Tao's attitude towards learning, but he didn't have a problem, he had to call Hong Tao Mr., what Mr. said, who made himself a student.

According to Wen Nan's description, at this time, there should be only three serious countries on these islands, or the unified regime, and the rest are like weeds, and they are still waving flags this year, and they will not be able to find a shadow next year. One is the Sri Buddha Dynasty, whose main sphere of influence is the southern part of Sumatra, which is a Malay regime and a Buddhist country. It was first written around the 7th century BC and was originally established near Palembang as a place of exchange between Indian and Chinese monks. Later, due to the frequent maritime exchanges between various countries, it was located on the main sea communication route, and gradually prospered and became a loose country, and at its peak the territory reached the Malay Peninsula in the north and the central and western parts of Jawa Island in the south.

However, the rule of this dynasty is not as close as in China, a bit like the state system, that is, one small force submits to one big power, and together it is a big country. The king of the port of Malacca, and the king of the port of Penang, were part of this small force. Ever since the Palembang was sacked by a fleet of the Sujang kingdom, the Sri Buddha dynasty had fallen into decline, losing its territory on the island of Java and being invaded by the Javanese who had been subservient to them. Not only the Javanese, but also the Siamese people in the north moved south from the Malay Peninsula, and with the addition of the Suran kingdom to the west, the Sri Buddha dynasty can be regarded as embattled.

Why did everyone come to grab the land where Sri Buddha died? Why is it so hated? The reason is the interests, the huge interests of maritime trade! More and more maritime merchants from various countries frequently pass through the Strait of Malacca, and whoever controls this strait will be able to obtain enough benefits from maritime trade, this issue has not been paid attention to before, but slowly everyone has seen it. In addition, the dynasty of Sri Buddha is a Buddhist country, not too aggressive, which is like an honest man discovering a gold mine, sooner or later it will be taken away by others, and it will cost the life of an honest person.

Don't introduce the country, it has almost been wiped out by Hong Tao's fleet, and it has no heart to grab the gold mine for a while. The Siamese people in the north don't have to worry, there are Mamluks stationed in the port of Malacca, as long as Hong Tao can provide them with enough slaves, weapons and food, they can push all the way north to Thailand, maybe they can unify Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Burma in the future. Of course, Hong Tao will not allow them to do this, and any force that is too big exists is a potential threat to Jinhe Bay. As long as Hong Tao lives, he will not let Southeast Asia have a country that can compete with Jinhewan, all of them will be divided into small countries, if you don't divide yourself, I will use warships and artillery to help you cut it off.

Finally, there is this East Java country, in fact, its original name is Ma Bashe, why is it called East Java country, because its original territory is in the area of Surabaya, which belongs to the eastern part of Java Island. The central and western parts of the remaining island of Java are the territory of Sri Buddha's deceased kingdom. However, the rise of East Java brought back both the central and western parts of the island, and the southern part of Sumatra, across the Sunda Strait.

The original state of East Java was founded by a person called Sanchaya, who believed in Shivaism, and its capital was in Matalan, in the central part of Java. Later, with the spread of Buddhism, the country was changed to Mahayana Buddhism. Later, the kingdom was divided in two by the king and passed to his two sons, and then with the invasion of Sri Buddha, Java became a bit of a mess. It was not until the beginning of the thirteenth century that a man named Geng. The unification of the civilian heroes of Anlo established the Neo-Koshari dynasty, which was also the founder of the Mahabacher dynasty. (To be continued.) )
