Divide - cut - line -
On March 16 of the first year of Taishun, the escort notification ship [Baisha Island] carried by Zhuge Maple Ye sailed into Cam Ranh Bay after completing the task of guarding the North Strait of Xuyamen, the task of subduing the natives on the South Island of Xuyamen, and the task of purchasing goods from mud. Here, Zhuge Maple will complete his second mission to the south, and the transport fleet led by Liu Xiang will dock briefly and then return north.
As for how Zhuge Maple Leaf returned to China, it was also simple, first, there were far more domestic fleets to and from Jinlan Trade than Xibo Mud, and presumably those shipowners would be happy to serve a Qincha; Second, if you don't want to disturb the people, Cam Ranh also has a fleet of sailors, and when the time comes, you can dispatch a notification ship.
"Greetings to the king!" When Zhuge Maple Ye got off the ship, he learned from the [Yanziji] that the Wuchang envoy had arrived at the port and was already waiting at the port. "The ministers respectfully invite the king to Jin'an!"
"Wang Jiagong'an!" Zhuge Maple Ye responded solemnly, and then hurriedly put on a smile. "Adults, please get up." Jin Lan is the only Dadu Protector among Zheng Fan's four overseas colonies, and Dadu Hu, and the Pedestrian Department of the Tongzheng Yuan are both from the four grades, Zhuge Maple Leaf naturally does not dare to snub this party member who can compete with him. "Although the lower official is to convey the king's order, he is by no means an envoy, Lord Ye, Brother Ye, you are too polite." ”
"How does this work?" Jinlan Dadu Ye Yongkang hurriedly humbled himself. "Since the lord has conveyed the king's command, he is an envoy, and he should be, he should be." The two stood on the dock and laughed for a while, and Ye Yongkang suddenly seemed to remember something. "Brother Zhuge , you see that I am confused, it is really rude for you to stand under the poisonous sun on such a hot day." Ye Yongkang then ordered. "Come on, send Lord Zhuge to rest." After that, Ye Yongkang turned back to Zhuge and said. "Brother Zhuge , the younger brother has already set up a reception banquet in the evening, don't shirk it
After eating the wind wine, it was the next day in a blink of an eye, but because this will needs to be declared in public, Zhuge Maple Leaf still needs to wait for the arrival of several internal and external vassals who are far away, so Zhuge Maple Leaf, who has some spare time, will visit Jinlan City in the company of the Metropolitan Protectorate.
Zhuge Maple declined to take a light open-top carriage in imitation of the Taixi style, and came to the port area commercial port on foot. Although the flow of people in the commercial port at this time is not too much, Zhuge Maple Leaf still sees a little clue at a glance.
"Lord Zhuang, the colors here are distinct."
"That's it." The Zhuang surname responded triumphantly, and in his mouth, Zhuge Maple Ye learned that after more than ten years of construction by Zheng Fan, Jinlan has passed through the port of Tuoying in Quang Nam and has become the fourth largest commercial port in the Indochina Peninsula after Hoi An in Quang Nam, Ayutthaya Port in Siam and Nai Ni Port in Malay. "Our Jin Lan has four faces: white, red, black and brown."
Zhuge Maple nodded clearly, the so-called white face naturally refers to the face of people from China, although it is also darkened by the sea breeze, but as long as you stop and raise it for a few days, this face is naturally much fairer than those black and non-autumn natives.
As for the red face, it refers to the original sailors and merchants of Beiju Luzhou, perhaps these people who call themselves Yingguili, France, and Denmark will not agree with the Chinese, but in the aesthetic eyes of the Orientals, these dirty Taixi people's sun-burned faces cannot be said to be white and clean at all.
In fact, being said to be a red race by the Jinlan people does not affect the arrival of these Beiju Luzhou people. As the fame of the port rose, the merchant ships of the Taixi countries who could not enter the Indochina Peninsula because of the Dutch monopoly on the foreign trade of the North River, the Portuguese monopoly on the foreign trade of Quang Nam, and the Siam crowding out the French merchants naturally regarded Cam Ranh Port as a bridgehead and stepping stone to enter the closed market. (Just read the novel.)
Although the faces of the aborigines are black, they are certainly not as black as those Kunlun slaves from Xihe Niuzhou, so they can only be called brown faces.
And those Western Kunlun slaves who were placed here by Zheng Kezang are still responsible for the military service and police affairs of the Metropolitan Protectorate, so they often appear inside and outside the commercial port - as part of the early slaves and slave army, because they shed blood for Ming Zheng, so the freed Western Kunlun slaves are not a good farmer because their own civilization is still in the stage of hunting, so they can only grow something to eat and live in a few days, and they can only sell their forces again from the original Governor's Mansion, Today's Dadu Protectorate is rewarded accordingly.
"Four faces, that's apt." While talking, the two turned into the exchange, the exchange is a major feature of Ming Zheng foreign trade, is a major means of Ming Zheng official to regulate export goods, all ports that allow foreign trade must establish an exchange under the supervision of the customs yamen, Jinlan is no exception. "There's a lot of cargo."
Sweeping and looking at pepper, ivory, mercury, gold, sumac, betel nut, bird's nest, pear, shark fin, rhino horn, deer tendon, rock sugar, sugar, gemstones, indigo, lead, cardamom, sea cucumber, mahogany, shochu, five-color satin, cotton sateen, cloth, Baiwei medicinal materials, paper, thread, sesame oil, all kinds of paper, gold and silver thread, all kinds of silk threads, all kinds of pigments, all kinds of clothes, shoes, socks, pen and ink, needles, all kinds of tables and chairs, all kinds of yarn, all kinds of tin and copper, all kinds of magnets, pottery and so on dozens of kinds of goods, and even there are dozens of commodities such as hibiscus, orange, orange, pear, jujube, On the wall of the food quotation brands such as persimmons, rice silk koji, gray noodles, rice propylene food, salted olives, appetizers, sauce, ginger, sauce, soy bean curd, golden needles, tea, fungus and other food quotation brands, Zhuge Maple nodded again and again.
"It's not simple, it's not necessarily less than the brands I saw in Guangzhou." Zhuge Maple Leaf Shirt uàn Fake Punishment Banner Pretty Mail Chlorine Rake Change Danger Gang Owl Gang Gang Gang Bai Zheng 阏馐馐覐ツ model handsome
"Brother Zhuge don't be surprised," because they wanted to hide Zhuge Fengye's identity, the two agreed to call each other brothers and sisters when they were outside, so at this moment, Zhuang Zhi called this Lord Langzhong. "Little brother, I just went to help you and asked the price."
"Help me ask the price?" Zhuge Maple Leaf was a little puzzled. "What does that mean?"
Zhuang Cheng said something that made Zhuge Fengye dumbfounded: "As the old saying goes, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, but this domain is very strict in supervising this, so Brother Zhuge came all the way from Wuchang to pass on the decree, and most of the protectors have nothing to send, so the younger brother helped Brother Zhuge ask about the price of goods, and when he left, he invited Brother Zhuge to enter the last batch and returned to the country, which must have some benefits." ”
Seeing that Zhuge Fengye's face was a little blue, Zhuang Zhi said again: "If Brother Zhuge didn't bring money when he came out, it doesn't matter, the Dadu Protectorate can lend a sum of money, as long as Brother Zhuge sells the goods in Guangzhou, and returns the principal to the local Fanyang Yamen. ”
Zhuge Maple Ye shook his head with a wry smile, wouldn't he be the same as a few people in Xibo Ni. By this time, he was suddenly alarmed, and it seemed that the use of public money and private wealth was common in several colonies, and was this a new form of corruption? He was a little uncertain.
But Zhuang on the side was still waiting for him to reply, so he had to excuse himself: "Is it too early to order now, or wait for the matter here to be finished, and there will be another cargo ship in China." ”
But in this way, Zhuge Maple Leaf's interest was greatly reduced, and after walking a few steps in a hurry, he went back to the inn to rest with some tiredness.
On the third day, Zhuge Maple Leaf didn't go out anymore, hiding in the courtyard and listening to Zhuang Cheng explain to him the current situation of Jinlan, although these things were already known to the domain, but in case he needed to report to Zheng Kezhang in person, he also had a good heart.
"Now Jinlan Dadu Protectorate is bounded by Guangnan in the north, the sea in the southeast, and Zhenla in the west." Zhuang engaged in the commentary of the script. "Among them, Champa has been declared a vassal to this domain, as a foreign vassal of this domain, and the king Posot (Posot) received the titles of Champa Observer, Zizhi Yin, Shangqingche Duwei, Dazhong Doctor, Dingyuan General, and King of Champa."
The title is a hodgepodge of messy, in which the king of Champa is the lord, proving that he is the monarch of Champa; Zizhi Yin and Shangqingche Duwei are the titles, which here refer to the status of the king of Champa equivalent to the official of the third rank in the country; Dazhong Dafu and General Dingyuan were civil and military officials from Sanpin, which were originally used as a voucher for the salary of the Lu official, but in the King of Zhancheng, it reflected the rank of the foreign domain; As for the Cham observation envoy, it is even more nonsense, the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have this Xun and San, Zheng Kezhang was specially made, intended to show that in addition to the Champa area, the Champa king also has the obligation to take care of the entire Cham tribe, and in the future, the Champa king can use this to think that Zheng asked for assistance, and the Jinlan Dadu Protectorate can also take the initiative to move his feet to Guangnan Ruan.
It is conceivable that this hodgepodge of foreign feudal reward system will definitely change after Zheng Kezhang establishes a new dynasty, but now, just like the dozens of titles on the heads of the monarchs of the Taixi countries, it sounds smelly enough and long enough to bluff people.
"In addition to the outer domain of Zhancheng, there are six internal domains under the rule of Dadu Hufu, such as Jiading, Meilan, Meidi (Meituo), Bianhe, Hexian, and Dingxiang, among which the lord of the Hexian clan is the deputy general of the territory, the Meilan Huang clan is subject to the territorial guerrillas, the Bian and Yang clans and the Jiading Chen clan are respectively subject to the territorial general army, the Meidi Chen clan is subject to the territorial general, and the Dingxiang Li clan is subject to the territorial garrison."
The heads of these clans are all unwilling to descend to the Qing Dynasty and run from the country, including the old department of the three feudal clans and the old department of the Zheng clan in the era of Zhu Chenggong, although they are now under the banner of Zheng Fan, but for a long time, it is obviously unwilling to let them put down their military power and lead the people to become liuguan, so Zheng Fan treats them as domestic Tusi.
However, the Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate obviously didn't want them to listen to the announcement, so they still had some control over the military power.
"In addition, there are eleven counties under the Dadu Protectorate, including Cam Ranh, Dongpo, Xianglin (Chai Stick, Saigon), Tra Vinh, Vinh Long, Hou Giang, Shuozhuang, Minh Hae, Kim Ou (Ge Mao), Dong Tha, and Phu Quoc Island."
Of course, these 11 counties are large and small, and there are also great differences in the size of the population, among which the large counties such as Cam Ranh have 10,000 households, and the small counties such as Phu Quoc Island have only about 500 households, which is inferior to every township and town in China.
"In terms of household registration, there are 60,000 households and 200,000 people in Quang Ranh, and this figure does not include the 12,000 households in Champong, nor does it include the immigrant population of Quang Nam who are hidden in the six inner domains
"In terms of troops, in addition to the 1,319 Longxiang troops directly under the Dadu Protectorate, more than 2,900 Kunlun slave troops of the Western Species can also be recruited; The six inner feudal clans can also gather four or five thousand soldiers and horses, and the king of Zhancheng can also produce more than 3,000 people. However, the combat power of the latter two is really not guaranteed
"Of course, Guangnan covets Jinlan, but they are really a little afraid of the soldiers of their own domain, so now they are mainly attacking Zhenla; Zhenla, Zhenla is incompetent here, not only the west and northwest of the country was wantonly swallowed by Siam, in the northeast can not stop the encroachment of the Quang Nam people, the east of the Yan clan also relied on the power of the domain to do it to Zhenla, basically without foreign aid, more than ten or twenty years will be divided by the neighbors
