Chapter 4 to the Republic of Lanfang

The three of them took a boat along the coastline to the south for less than 20 minutes before they came to an estuary, although it was not obvious where it was on the surface, but according to the experience of later generations, it can still be known that this is probably Nanbawa, but later the Indonesian government changed its name to Mampawa.

In fact, this place is still very good, along the coastline to the north is Sanfa, not far to the south is Pontianak, along the land to the east you can go to the capital of Lan Phuong, East Wanlu.

In this era, the place with the largest number of overseas Chinese was West Borneo, and among them were concentrated in Sanfa, Nanbawa, Monttra and East Manyu, especially Sanfa as early as 1714, British navigators discovered that the weights and measures here are all Chinese standards.

In 1721, British navigators admitted that commerce throughout Borneo had been controlled by the Chinese. The Chinese live in Machen, Sanfa, Nanbawa (or Mampava) and sell silk, flower cloth and other Chinese and Japanese goods to provide for the local people's livelihood. The Chinese were also the discoverers of gold in West Borneo.

When the boat approached the shore, a small boat could be seen from afar, as if there were people waving their hands and saying something, but it was too far away to hear what was said.

Wang Kun stood at the bow of the boat and motioned for Zhao Shichang to slow down, and the fishing boat moved forward slowly, slowly closing the distance between the boat and the boat. Wang Kun stood at the bow of the boat without saying a word and looked at each other. Seeing that the other party stopped there early, he didn't come to ask questions or run away. I saw that the two people on the boat opposite were wearing long robes and horse coats, their hair was coiled on their heads, and they looked black and thin. He looked over with a curious face, and raised his bow and arrow with a wary look.

Zhang Lei also walked out of the cabin, stared curiously at the people on a small clipper boat opposite, saw that the distance between the two sides was about more than three hundred meters, turned his head to Wang Kun and said:

"I said big brother! What are you looking at? It's so fascinating, what's the big girl on the other side? Or do you have any thoughts about him? That's not right! When did your taste become so low? ”

Wang Kun sighed helplessly, Nima, who is this, is my taste so low. Just as Wang Kun was about to refute, he saw the person on the opposite boat stop, and tightened the bow and arrow in his hand with a vigilant face, and heard Zhang Lei shout before he could shout from the other side:

"Hey! Who's on the other side? What is the intention? ”

After shouting, he didn't answer with the other side, and turned his head to Wang Kun Xianbao and asked, "Big brother, I'm okay with this shouting!" Is there a domineering style of a great general? ”

"I don't know if the general's Fan is there, but the little bandit's Fan is quite similar, hehe!" Speaking of this, Wang Kun himself couldn't help but be happy.

※※※※※※※※※

Today it was Liu San's turn to go out to sea to patrol, and the weather was quite good today, although they were rowing a small sampan boat, they didn't feel too shaky. Liu San sat at the bottom of the boat and leaned on the boat, first looked up at the sky and then looked at the surrounding sea a few times, and his eyes were full of blue, the sky was blue, and the sea was also blue, Liu San hated this blue. Six years ago, because of the lawsuit and no money to pay for it, I really couldn't survive, so I had no choice but to follow the people from the neighboring village to go to sea to make a living, because I almost died at sea, so now I am not so solid at sea.

Liu San hugged the bow and arrow in his arms tightly, no matter when this is his most loyal partner, no fellow countryman, what brother, no bow and arrow in his arms can bring him safety.

Liu San glanced at the thin monkey who was rowing and said, "You row forward slowly, and by the way, if there is a boat coming over the sea, call me, and I'll take a nap." Oh! By the way, you can just paddle back when you see the distance, and remember to call me if you have something. After speaking, he tilted his head without closing his eyes, as if he was old.

In fact, there is a reason why Liu San dares to patrol so perfunctorily, it is not the monsoon season, so there will not be too many sea ships on the sea, but he has to guard against it because he is afraid of a sneak attack by foreigners, and it is not a joke that there are so many cannons of foreigners' sea ships.

The skinny monkey had no choice but to row while looking up at the sea. Although the work of the two people was done by themselves, the thin monkey did not complain. Because it is said that the third brother of the Liu family used to follow the great unification, and he also made great contributions. But then he was demoted to patrol the sea because he made a mistake, but no one dared to laugh at him here, because even the adults were not as good as him.

Just when the thin monkey was envious, he looked up to the north, and then he was used to rowing with his head down. Kindness? Wrong! The thin monkey rubbed his eyes again, it's a boat! That's right, it's a boat! Unlike other sea vessels, it had no sails and no tall masts, but the skinny monkey was sure it was a big ship.

"Third brother! Hurry up, get up and see it's a big ship! Seeing the big ship without a mast in the distance, the thin monkey excitedly hurriedly called Liu San up.

"What a howl! Isn't it just a ship? What's... Liu San was not calm when he opened his eyes, this ship must have encountered some wind and waves if it didn't have a mast, this is too common on the sea, but the other party was so unlucky that even the mast could be scraped off. Such a big ship is rare in the whole Lanfang, this must be Heshun Company, if he can be left behind, then it must be a great achievement, he will definitely be valued by the great system, I Liu San can also make great contributions on the sea, when the time comes......

The more Liu San thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he had seen that he was standing beside the Great Commander again, so that he would get more gold, silver and jewelry faster. Maybe I will be able to marry a daughter-in-law soon, and it has nothing to do with me Liu San if I am loyal to the great system or something. Thinking of this, Liu Sanyou felt that he had lost, thinking about his previous role as the guard of the great system, he almost died several times for the safety of the great system, and if it wasn't for his own system, he would have died several times.

I did so much for him, but in the end he was sent to the beach because of a small mistake, whether there was a mistake or not is not a matter of the great commander's words! Obviously, he is not at ease with himself, and he wants to replace his guards with his fellow villagers.

Liu San felt that even if it was for his own future, he couldn't let go of this ship. Thinking of this, he urged the thin monkey to speed up and sail towards the big ship in the distance.

"The Skinny Monkey knows at a glance that the mast is broken, and it is still far from the coast, and they must have been floating at sea for many days, and the people inside must have lost their strength. This ship is so beautiful, if we cut it down and dedicate it to the Great Commandery, then we will definitely be reused by the Great Commandery. I will have endless glory and wealth for you, so you must be faster, thin monkey. When he heard this, the skinny monkey became even more excited, and the rowing speed was even faster.

As the ships of the two sides got closer and closer, Liu San's mood became more and more excited, this ship was not only not small, but also very beautiful, this was probably a big ship of Westerners, but unfortunately the mast was broken. But after thinking about it, fortunately, the ship's mast was broken, otherwise it's hard to say whether it would be your own.

When Liu San's excitement just dropped a little, he felt a little wrong, because the speed at which the two ships approached each other was too fast. Although this is very good, Liu San still said without looking back:

"Thin monkey, you don't have to row so fast, we can slow down so that we can save some energy, and if the situation is not right, we can have the strength to escape." Hehe! How about it, the third brother is still smart! ”

It's a pity that Liu San doesn't understand what relative velocity is in physics, plus the distance is still about two kilometers away, and Wang Kun's Explorer fishing boat slowed down significantly when he saw the coastline. Therefore, it is not obvious that the other party's ship is faster.

Hearing Liu San's question, the thin monkey replied helplessly: "Hey, hey! Three...... Third Brother...... I...... I didn't paddle too fast! ”

Liu San also reacted now, in fact, this is not to blame Liu San, no one in this era could have imagined that such a big ship could sail on the sea without sails.

But there's no time to think about this, the other party is so fast, and the ship is so big. The two of you will definitely not be able to deal with it, so run away quickly.

"Skinny Monkey hurry up and paddle back, the faster the better!" Liu San already felt his heartbeat, and before the thin monkey could react, he said, "No need, we can't run away, don't make a noise and listen to me later."

Liu San knew that the two of them couldn't run away this time, who made himself so greedy, obviously the distance behind him was less than five kilometers away. It's a cannon there, and it's safe to get there, but now it's a matter of fate.

Thinking of this, Liu San's excitement immediately calmed down, and he saw it more clearly. This is clearly not any kind of Western ship that a confidant has seen before. And there are obviously no sails and no one is sending boats, so it must have used some kind of trick to fool people here.

Yes, it must have been done by someone from Heshun Company, pretending to be a ghost here. They want to scare us with this method, so that we don't dare to go to sea in the future. Hum! I wouldn't be afraid if there was no door.

Liu San, who thought he had figured it out, was even more determined in his thoughts, grabbed his bow, and took the arrow and pulled a half-full bow ready to fire, aiming at the person standing on the opposite boat.

As the ship got closer and closer, Liu San could see more clearly. The two boats had only been together for about five hundred meters, and Liu San could already clearly see the recognizable appearance of the boat standing on the opposite side. At first glance, he looks like a Chinese, white and clean, not at all like a person who often walks the sea. With short hair, he is either a big rebel or a disobedient son, and he is not a good person anyway. I also wore a foreigner's clothes, which were nondescript, but the earthy yellow clothes were quite good-looking. But it's a pity to wear it on this person, if it is made into a horse coat and worn on me, it must be very majestic to stand behind the great ruler, hey! It's a pity!

Thinking of this, Liu San was more careful, this is a villain, you must be wary of the other party.

It's just that Liu San didn't know that this was a desert camouflage uniform, and people in later generations could see at a glance that this was an army combat uniform.

However, just when Liu San reminded himself, he saw that the other party walked out of the cabin again, wearing the same clothes and shaving his head, which didn't seem to be a good thing. The parents of the body hair and skin can not be cut easily, even I, who does not read much, know it. It seems that the other party must be a barbarian. Hey! They were still laughing at each other, which really annoyed me.

However, just as Liu San was about to ask, he heard the other side ask, "Hey! Who's on the other side? What is the intention? ”

If Liu Sanyi listens to Chinese, then it is likely to be Chinese. It's just that the tone is a bit weird, unlike Guangzhou's, which is a bit like the north. But that's not the point, this sentence should be mine!

It's obviously in our territory, and if we ask me what I want to do, there's really no rules at all. It seems that there will be a chance to teach him a good lesson in the future, and ask him to know some rules, otherwise he will suffer a loss in the future, hum!

"This is Lan Fangguo, and Luo Fangbo commands a small soldier. The opposite is an alliance with Heshun Company? What are you doing in my Lanfang country? Saying that, Liu San tightened the bow and arrow in his hand again, wanting to pull it fuller.

This time, Zhang Lei was a little blind, because the other party spoke Cantonese, and he couldn't understand it.
