Chapter 25 Joint Vertical and Horizontal

Cao Bianjiao has lived in a tent by the wall of his ancestral house for much longer than he thought.

On the one hand, because the damage to the stronghold and Fran Castle was too great, nearly 1,300 wounded soldiers and 600 dead could not be dealt with in just three days. On the one hand, Yue Hesheng had already arrived at the old port of Sumatra with three warships that had just been launched and twelve merchant ships from the Kumajin route.

"Very good." Yue Hesheng was in front of the Fumen ancestral house and flipped through some of the documents handed over by Cao Bianjiao.

"Your Majesty is still very worried about you, but it seems that the old man, even if the old man comes in person, he can only do this step." The old port gave Yue Harmony a big surprise. Even though Cao Bianjiao was very modest in front of him, he still couldn't help but praise him.

In his impression, the old port was already a place deep into the wilderness, but what he didn't expect was that the beauty of the scenery and the abundance of products here made him jaw-dropping. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the Han-style buildings in the Fumen ancestral house.

Compared with the buildings in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the colors of the buildings here are more vivid. Red, blue, green, it seems that only this bright color of red and green can make the building stand out from the green trees and flowers, and not be swallowed up by the wild growth and disorder of nature.

"Father-in-law, when you see this sea of flowers in front of you, just three days ago it was a land that had been blown up by gunpowder and scorched by fire oil, and a torrential rain has become this vibrant appearance again. Everything is good in this hellish place, but this flower, flower, vine and vine grow too fast and too fierce. If you are not careful, the traces of your labor will be erased by this flower and plant."

Outside the largest tent were a dozen or so huge trees, many of which were good wood, and several of them had grown new branches.

"If this thing can be shipped back to the mainland, it will be worth at least a thousand taels, and if you put it here, it will be a piece of rotten wood." Yue Hesheng stroked the log with his hand.

"Don't talk about this, Dongchang has entered the territory of the aborigines, you haven't seen Zhang Baihu and them, and they directly used a glass bottle to exchange for a house built by the local king with green sandalwood, and I can't wait to tear back the threshold. If I hadn't said it, I wouldn't have been hauling wood in the jungle now."

Cao Bianjiao said hatefully:

"When I think of the country, sometimes I sigh for a long time how unfair God is to the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What's unfair, before I left, Your Majesty said that wherever the gunboats went, it was the land of the Ming Dynasty. Three years ago, you and I would have thought that we could stand here!"

Yue Hesheng came to the old port, and Fumen was seriously injured, so the Four Seas Fleet entered the foot of the mountain city justifiably.

Soon, the signboard for the recruitment of workers stood on the roadside of the city at the foot of the mountain and the port.

For the first time, the coolies at the docks knew how valuable they were. The hardest work is to demolish the Dutch City Lord's Mansion at the foot of the mountain, and every big worker can get an Eagle Ocean, or the equivalent of a dragon silver, if he eats and lives for a month.

At the beginning, the entire old port thought that these jobs needed to be grabbed, but who knows, the positions given by the entire Four Seas Fleet were not even satisfied. First several forts were built and remodeled, followed by the reconstruction and expansion of civilian ports. Then there are a few roads that lead to the hinterland and allow four-wheeled carriages to pass. Next, there are several wooden houses. ….

For a time, the entire old port became a large construction site.

"Yue Hesheng is very optimistic about the old port."

Seven days later, a three-sail clipper returned to the port of Fuzhou. In addition to Yue Hesheng and Cao Bianjiao's letterheads, there were also two big living people, Dai Ran and Ke Yinzhi.

It took Zhu Youzhen a full three hours to read all the paperwork before he said to Sun Chengzong.

"Eight days and seven nights is an acceptable distance. If only time could be faster." Sun Chengzong's was still a military struggle.

"Just give me another month."

Eighty-six rear-loading guns newly researched by the Ming Dynasty were already on the way, and more than 300 technicians transferred from the Beijing division had also boarded the ship.

"As long as you follow Cao Bianjiao's opinion, build these five places

Fort, the old port I will be at ease. It's not an overnight effort at sea, but on land, it's not a boast, and I really haven't been able to fight."

Sun Chengzong also threw his red and blue pencils and reading glasses onto the map, stood up and walked a few steps, and nodded.

"Now is the time to win and lose, and His Majesty's arrangement of the West Factory is still admired. The Dutch probably didn't expect us to throw so much silver on the Old Port. When they come to their senses, hehe......"

"What does Your Majesty think about the matter of the *** king of the Jungle Sultanate?"

Cao Bianjiao mentioned in his heart the request of the Sultanate of Malacca. They wanted to join forces with the Ming Dynasty to drive England and Portugal out of the rich coastline and create a strong, unified sultanate. For these, Yue Hesheng and Cao Bianjiao had no idea, they wanted to hear the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor.

"What does the Overseer think?" Zhu Youzhen knew that with the development of advanced technology, the fate of the indigenous king would not be good.

"The minister suggested sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and we would just occupy the old port."

Sun Chengzong put forward the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, in his opinion, it is already a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have a new land thousands of miles away, and what he has to do now is to keep his advantage.

"After playing a game, it is difficult to keep your hands from getting wet."

Zhu Youzhen didn't see it that way.

It is not surprising at all, and now Sun Chengzong still looks at these Europeans according to his understanding of the Ming people. Unlike Zhu Youzhen, he has a clear understanding of the essence of these people.

"We occupy the old port, and according to our understanding, even if we don't fight back, we will take revenge. But you may not know it, Governor, but for these people in Europa, you will think that you have a basis for negotiation and cooperation." After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he saw Sun Chengzong's surprised expression.

"The Overseer must look at them as robbers, they are the bandits who occupy the mountains and have the same idea. If you think about it from the perspective of a gentleman and the country, you will think wrong. Moreover, with the leadership of technology, there is no room for resistance among the natives. Therefore, the overseer replied for me, and everything was based on their opinions, and he was improvised. I'm just telling them that in the end the natives won't be the winners, and they just keep that in mind." ….

"After that, will the Europa people gather against us?"

If you don't understand, there is no basis for decision-making, and Sun Chengzong found that he really didn't know much about these Westerners. In this regard, His Majesty the Emperor seems to be very familiar. He also had to admit that after several major events, he proved that his understanding of His Majesty the Emperor was correct.

"No!" Zhu Youzhen's face was relaxed.

"For them, it's a mortal enmity with ***. They've been fighting over there for a long time. So, you know, just like our blood feud with the Huns, it's not comfortable not to fight."

At this point, Zhu Youzhen felt that his judgment would be very accurate.

Even if there is yourself as a cheater. But whether it was the Dutch, the Spaniards, or the Portuguese, they did not intolerant of the existence of a barbaric and backward jungle sultanate. However, when the jungle sultanate accepted the military support of the Turkish Suleiman Magnificent, the matter became certain.

The Ottoman Empire changed its capital from Constantinople to Istanbul, and claimed to be the heir to the Romans. After Suleiman I the Great succeeded to the throne, the Ottoman Empire grew stronger. Their territory spanned three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, and the Mediterranean Sea became its own inland sea. Especially when they had a Barbarossa naval commander, they became more and more arrogant.

Therefore, for the people of Europa, Suleiman the Magnificent was the first, the first, the dangerous enemy.

"The Overseer imagines these kingdoms of Europa as the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period."

Regarding Sun Chengzong's question, Zhu Youzhen can only be concise and concise in this way.

"Their emperor and empress are also a family. However, there are many more complex contradictions between countries than between them. Therefore, it is said that they are the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period

That's an overestimation of them."

Sun Chengzong nodded, and he understood at once.

"Furthermore, the more complicated the situation, the better it is for us. Compared to the monkeys, we are the real conspirators."

"Your Majesty, can I inform Cao Bianjiao of this paragraph?"

"With a password. The two of them were burned after reading it." Zhu Youzhen admonished.

"At the end, we must add a sentence to let them remember that the current Nanyang is a world of the jungle. Weakness is original sin. Everyone has grown up drinking the flesh of the weak. As long as we stay strong, we will always be their friends!"

How about the wrong knife
