At the beginning of June, Zheng's fleet sent supplies to the long-awaited Chen Long, and to Chen Long's delight, in addition to the precious supplies such as food, gunpowder, and medicine, there were also 300 new Qiongzhou troops and 200 Li and Han families.

"Please make it clear to the Lord when Lord Murong goes back, and the minister Chen Long will definitely live up to the Lord's trust." Chen Long swore an oath, and at the same time put forward the requirements for opening the port and asking for Li Doujiao's official position. "Please also ask your Excellency to forward it on your behalf."
"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult." Seeing Long Chen's puzzled face, Murong Bin smiled bitterly. "Hou Ye also saw that in addition to the three hundred soldiers and two hundred Ding households sent, there were also a number of soldiers, horses, and people on the fleet," the plan of Luozi in Xibo was not impossible to disclose, so Murong Bin explained to Long Chen in a steady manner. "The fleet still has to go south, and it will not be able to return to Dongning before the wind season, and if we wait for Dongning to respond, I am afraid that a year has passed."
As an old qualified military attache of the Zheng Army, Murong Bin's words are a little untrue, but Chen Longming knows that the other party is deliberately prevaricating but there is no way to find faults, who knows if the other party's attitude represents the power of a certain part of the Zheng Army? Thinking of this, Chen Long, who had an unstable foothold, naturally would not blush with the other party.
"Lord Murong, in this case, Benjue has a reluctant request." Chen Long reached out and pulled out a strangely shaped blade from his waist. "This special-shaped short sword is called Klishi by the Bo Ni people, and it is claimed to be made of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, and it is the sharpest." As he spoke, Chen Long ordered someone to take an iron weapon, but with a wave, the iron weapon on the opposite side was cut off in response, and then looked at the edge of the Criss, but there was no damage at all. "This sword will be given to your lord."
"The so-called reactive is not rewarded." The soldiers' resistance to this sharp weapon was actually very limited, but Murong Bin still kept his saliva and pushed back the sword, which was said to be worth several cities. "Master Hou, don't be embarrassed."
"Lord Murong has misunderstood, but in fact, this matter is not difficult." Chen Long said his request. "Please also invite your Excellency Yucheng."
"That's right." Murong Bin's fingers subconsciously pecked lightly on the table. "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to the layout of the lord in Beibo Ni, and the lower officials should help him, but I am afraid that if the king of Brunei is angry and scatters the fire on the head of the Hou Ye, it will be self-defeating."
"The idea was from Benjue, and it was self-defeating, and Benjue has no complaints." Chen Long pushed Clis in front of Murong Bin again. "Please also ask Brother Murong to help."
Murong Bin touched the sword in front of him as if he was caressing his lover's skin, and when he raised his head again, he already had a smile on his face: "Master Hou is so earnest, it is better for the lower officials to be respectful and obey their orders."
"Where are we?" Tian Chao was awakened from his slumber by a loud noise, and he carefully turned to the side, not letting his buttocks, which had not healed from eating the board, touch the solid edge of the bed. "Met an enemy? Why did you start a cannon? Help me up, I'll go up to the deck and have a look. ”
Ma Ben, who was waiting for him on the side, hurriedly walked to the side of the bed and knelt down, let Tian Chao's hands clench his neck, and reported while getting up cautiously: "My lord, we have not encountered the enemy, but the sailors who escorted us have sailed to the outer harbor of the Brunei Guojing Division, and are firing artillery demonstrations against the Bruneians." ”
"Gun demonstration?" Tian Chao has been staying in the cabin to recuperate because of his injury, so he naturally doesn't know the agreement between Murong Bin and Chen Long. "Why are you so troublesome," Tian Chao, who was lying on Ma Ben's body, slowly straightened up with the help of the other party's strength. "Send someone to tell Lord Murong that we are willing to go to the land to help in the war"
The Zheng fleet flaunted its might outside the Brunei Bay, and then sent troops ashore to plunder the commercial ports and villages along the coast, and at one point traced up the Brunei River to approach the royal capital of Brunei. Faced with the sudden attack, the Brunei court was shocked and immediately sent envoys to the Zheng army's fleet to sue for peace, so the two sides began lengthy negotiations on the ship on which the Zheng army was riding.
In the course of the negotiations, the main fleet of the Zheng army was divided into two routes, except for one empty ship that bluffed in Brunei Bay, and the rest of the ships went southwest along the coast, showing off their might along the way, causing the whole Brunei to shake.
In mid-June, when the southbound Tian Chao was still slowly searching for the mouth of the Kapuas River (Sungai Kapuas in Indonesian), which Zheng Kezhang said, Murong Bin accepted the mediation of Japanese businessmen and Chinese immigrants in Brunei, and reached the "Brunei Grass Treaty of the Forty Years of Yongli" with the Brunei side.
The Draft Treaty first confirmed the Ming Zheng's possession of Labuan Island and its affiliated islands, secondly allowed the Ming and Zheng sides to open a merchant house in the Brunei Bay Commercial Port to purchase large wood, gold, and rhino horn, reaffirmed the Ming Zheng's right to protect Chinese immigrants and Japanese merchants, and finally promised that the raw silk, silk, tea and other sought-after commodities obtained by the Brunei ships that went north to Guangzhou for tributary trade (in fact, led by Chinese and Japanese merchants) would be given priority to be resold to Penghu
**After that, Zheng Kezhang hugged Xie Ziling and enjoyed the afterglow for a while, and when the body temperatures of the two returned to normal, he asked, "How is the situation in Xiangmei Courtyard these days?" ”
"The Lord is worried about when he will be able to take that little girl." Xie Ziling said with a little jealousy, she was the oldest among the girls, and she already sighed that her face was not there, so she had a natural hostility towards the young Geng Tang'er and the foxy Feng Lianniang.
"Nonsense!" Zheng Kezhang hit the woman's ass hard. "Is Lone such a desperate person? Lone is worried that she has ulterior motives for entering Anping. "Of course Zheng Kezhang knows that in the past few days of entering the city, Geng Tang'er has behaved decently, except for asking Chen Xianqiao every day, it can be said that the door is not out of the door, but the seven-year-old Shang Xiguan accompanies Jia Niang and Rou Niang to play together every day, and looks more active, but the more Zheng Kezhang is suspicious." The affairs of the city are in your hands, so which one do you ask? ”
Hearing Zheng Kezang's explanation, Xie Ziling smiled eating: "The Lord is trying to cover up, what can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl's family have any intentions, it is nothing more than to win favor and fix favor, and then use the power of the Lord to avenge his father and mother, the Lord is making a fuss, is there a second great sage in the world?" ”
Xie Ziling's words made some sense, but Zheng Kezhang pinched her chest in annoyance: "If you have something to say, why are you talking so much nonsense." ”
Xie Ziling's face flushed again by Zheng Kezang, and she hurriedly pressed Zheng Kezang's evil hand: "The concubine said, the concubine said." ”
Zheng Kezhang stopped at this time, and Xie Ziling finally adjusted his breath: "According to the female official who served Xiangmei Academy, that little girl reads some scripts every day except for the female red, and she is also very kind below, without the slightest coquettishness of the princess of the palace." ”
"Does the county lord have to be brutal?" Zheng Kezhang commented noncommittally, and then thought of something. "Jia Niang, Rou Niang, they planted cowpox, right?"
The earliest method of preventing smallpox in China is called the human pox inoculation method, and its specific method is to pulp the pox scabs (pus) on the body of smallpox patients and wipe them under the skin of the recipients with a knife to make them immune and prevent smallpox. Another method of inoculation is the "pox coat method", in which the recipient is dressed in the clothes of a smallpox patient. Since the disease is not transmitted through the air in the lungs, most people will only have mild symptoms of smallpox. However, both the pox inoculation method and the pox clothing method have strict disadvantages, that is, the vaccinated person has received real smallpox, so there is a high chance of death, and the danger is very high; In addition, the recipient will pass smallpox to his or her family members before they become completely resistant to smallpox, so family members who are not resistant to smallpox must be isolated.
For this reason, after Zheng Kezhang succeeded to the throne, he arranged for the military medicine to practice the cowpox inoculation method, and in Kangxi's edict, he widely required the children of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners to start vaccinating the pox, and then implemented it in various counties of Dongning, after more than three years of promotion, this technology has been very mature.
"I'll get them vaccinated in a few days." Xie Ziling responded. "Is that Shang Xiguan also vaccinated?"
"That's nature." Zheng Kezhang nodded. "Jin Niang and Geng Tang'er are also going to be vaccinated together, and when Baoguan and Zhenguan are one year older, they will also be planted in advance, and Gu is a little worried." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang sternly instructed Xie Ziling. "Madame has a body again, Chun Niang and Yu Niang can take care of the children, and you should keep an eye on other things."
Xie Ziling nodded lightly, and then drew a circle on Zheng Kezang's chest: "The concubine knows that the lord is still thinking about the piece of meat that has not reached the mouth." ”
Zheng Kezhang couldn't laugh or cry, but think about it, Xie Ziling's words are actually very reasonable, now Chen Xianqiao is a fixed three days a decade, Tong Chunniang and Fang Yuniang have to go there once a lot, although Xie Ziling has one more day here, it is a big deficiency compared to the most favored Feng Lianniang, but Feng Lianniang has gone there more, Zheng Kezhang is also a little aesthetically fatigued, I can't say that it is this psychology that makes him introduce Geng Tanger, a newcomer, to Anping.
"Speaking of which, the Lord has spent the most days on Lianniang's side, but why don't you see any movement in Lianniang's stomach?"
Zheng Kezhang was still condemning himself, and when he suddenly heard such a sentence, his heart was immediately smashed like a sledgehammer, he immediately straightened up, and stared at Xie Ziling, who had a frightened expression: "What do you want to say?" ”
"Concubine, concubine no." Xie Ziling was a little flustered. "The concubine just sighed, Lord"
Zheng Kezhang waved his hand at her, and then put on his clothes, Xie Ziling hurriedly helped, but Zheng Kezang's face was gloomy all the time.
After getting dressed neatly, Zheng Kezhang got up and walked outside, and ordered the waiter outside the house: "Call Jin Nineteen." ”
In the dead of night, Zheng Kezhang suddenly made a quick move, and Jin Shijiu was naturally a little flustered, however, when he arrived at Taoshi Courtyard, he saw Zheng Kezang's scary face when he entered the door: "Lord, the lord beckons the slave and doesn't know what is urgent." ”
"Someone drugged Haitang Courtyard so that she couldn't give birth, saying that it was you who greeted her, and she was really bold enough!"
Jin Nineteen was so frightened that he knelt down: "Minion, how dare a minion?"
"Say, whose idea was it?"
Jin Nineteen pounded his head like mud: "No, no one dares, the slave will go to check, go check"
"Check?" Zheng Kezhang sneered, he had watched too much of this kind of competition for favor in TV series in his previous life, but he didn't expect that he would be in turn. "It's been found out, how can Lone do it." Zheng Kezhang swept the pale Xie Ziling. "Send out the female officer in charge of the Begonia Hospital, and then send someone to the Begonia Hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
