Jawa Island is densely swamped with crocodiles and other ferocious animals, but even so, Gao Shun did not leave the giant bed crossbow to them.

After the construction of Hongshui City was almost over, Gao Shun and others continued to set off; To the west from Redwater City is the island of Sumatra.

In the later generations, there was a country in Palembang on Sumatra Island, called Du Yuan Kingdom, which occupied the northeast of Sumatra, which was convenient for Gao Shun and others.

When the ships approached the Du Yuan Kingdom, Gao Shun released 5,000 high-level cavalry and 5,000 high-level infantry to eliminate the Duyuan Kingdom in one fell swoop, and announced the establishment of the Xiang Han Kingdom, which easily increased the territory area by more than 100,000 square kilometers.

The volcanic soil of Sumatra is very fertile, and there is a lot of rain, many rivers, the formation of dozens of small countries, and there are many tribes in a primitive state, Gao Shun did not have time to eliminate one by one, he planned, in the northwest of Sumatra, the location of the later Medan, and build another castle, named Xiang Wei City.

Xiang Han and Xiang Wei are the best places on the island of Sumatra, hoping to develop into two city-states and eliminate many other small states; The location of these two castles is very good, which is convenient for both agriculture and seafaring trade, and there are many minerals in the vicinity, which are very suitable for development.

Later, the city of Pontianak was built on the island of Kalimantan, so that there were two castles on the island of Kalimantan for easy navigation and supplies. Then, from the north of Pontianak, they went to the port city of Xinjiapo, which had been established earlier.

Now the whole of Xinjiapo Island is under the control of the castle, and agriculture and animal husbandry are self-sufficient, and they can ensure the supply needs of the past merchants; He also established a base on the northern shore of the island, preparing to continue to expand his territory.

Gao Shun and the others did not reveal their identities, but stayed as business travelers.

The Kushan Empire was not interested in trade, but the Sabbatarians were very keen on seafaring trade, and Xinjiapo City became an important supply port connecting the east and the west.

Due to the development of sailing ships, although the 500-ton and 1,000-ton sea ships can only follow the route not far from the coast, but the speed has been greatly improved, it takes five months from Xuwen Port to Xinjiapo, and now it takes only two months from Panyu Port to Xinjiapo City, and there are many Han castles along the way, which is convenient for supply, and is much more comfortable than before.

Gao Shun was very satisfied with the development of Xinjiapocheng, but he was more concerned about the domestic situation, so he asked Li Qiang, Ma Gui and others to go out to find business travelers to find news.

In less than a day, everyone had a harvest and happily returned to report to Gao Shun.

Ma Gui first reported happily: "Haha, Your Majesty, don't worry, the situation of Wei is better than we expected, we can rest assured that we can go to the Kushan Empire." ”

Gao Shun smiled and nodded.

Gao Wei reported: "Your Majesty, every castle along the way is our Han people, the same culture and language, conducive to communication, exchanges, the development of each castle is very good, only the number of Han people in Xinjiapo has more than doubled in recent years, and other castles are similar to the situation here; And I also heard that Fujian County is the fastest growing, and many of the trading ships that come here are made by Fujian County, and the merchants there are the most active; Silk in Wu and Qiantang counties also developed rapidly. ”

Gao Shun estimated that the increase in the population was mainly newborn children, and according to the Han Chinese thinking, no one would want to come to such a distant place to establish a career unless they had to do so; So he asked, "I asked you to find out what is going on in the country?" ”

Li Qiang said: "Your Majesty, the army is very stable, and the people are gradually getting richer, which is a good foundation laid by Your Majesty." And the various stations and ministries of the imperial court restrain each other, and the power comes from the emperor, so there will be no chaos easily, and Your Majesty is at ease; It's just that I found out that when we go west, the country we face may not only be the Kushan Empire, but before we reach the Kushan Empire, we will encounter more than a dozen countries, and there are also the Rest Empire and the Great Qin Empire to the west of the Kushan Empire, which are all enemies we will face. ”

Qin Guan said: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Great Qin State is very strong, and some merchants say that their heavy cavalry is invincible and will be our strong opponent." ”

Gao Shun was in a better mood, the emperor and the crown prince had very high IQs, and they could definitely ensure the stable inheritance of Wei, not like Cao Wei, who was short-lived in history, and said with a smile: "Haha, only strong opponents are interesting, if they are all primitive small tribes, what is the point of us fighting around?" As long as the country is stable, I am relieved. ”

Feng Yong asked, "Your Majesty, should we send someone back to report to our family that we are safe?" ”

Gao Shun shook his head and retorted: "We will not go back in this life, going back will only disrupt the current pattern and affect their normal life. ”

Everyone was a little sad when they heard Gao Shun's words, and Gao Shun's mood also sank, and said: "Let's stay here for more time, and we will be farther and farther away from the Central Plains after that." ”

Gao Wei comforted: "Your Majesty, the people in the country will not worry about us, I heard that the castles of Weizhou and Hanrong have developed into city-states, and they have sent people to the emperor to pay tribute and become vassal states, I believe they will bring news about us." ”

Li Qiang was the most open-minded and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, let's leave after resting, and now we are still drinking bars." ”

The 2,000-ton galleon that Gao Shun and others were riding was huge, and it was parked very conspicuously in Xinjiapo Port.

After seeing Gao Shun, Taishou was shocked and hurriedly saluted, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

These system people have a natural affinity for Gao Shun, and they have all seen Gao Shun and Gao Wei and others.

Gao Shun smiled: "Haha, let's have a drink together!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Subsequently, the participants exchanged local and domestic conditions.

The country is very stable, Gao Shun was completely relieved, and happily, said: "From now on, this will be a kingdom, and you will be the king, as the sweet potato country of Wei." ”

That Taishou was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for your trust." ”

Gao Shun said: "I have built several kingdoms around me before, and you can establish an alliance to jointly deal with the local barbarians, and communicate with each other and develop together. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Subsequently, Gao Shun wrote the appointment document and issued him the national seal as a certificate.

In order to establish the status of the new king, Gao Shun made Gao Wei an envoy to participate in the king's enthronement ceremony.

Gao Wei was the governor of the navy, and had a very high position in the minds of these merchants, and everyone believed that it was Gao Wei who designed these excellent sailing ships and promoted the development of navigation; There were even some shipowners and maritime merchants who worshipped Gao Wei as the god of water to bless them with safe navigation.

For this reason, Gao Shun and others had to live in their new home for two more months.

Everyone is also a little reluctant to leave Xinjiapo, they know that this is the closest place to their hometown.
