While Liu Yu set up three counties in Luzon, he did not forget to set up Jiading County in Dongpu and Meidi, Guangnan, thousands of miles away.

This also became the first overseas county of the Ming Court in Luzon.

If the lord of Guangnan knew that the Ming court had set up a Jiading County in the territory of Guangnan, he would have to vomit three liters of blood.

Liu Yu ordered Chen Shangchuan to be the magistrate of Jiading County, and Yang Yandi to be the general soldier of Jiading.

Since Yang Yandi is still fighting in Qiongzhou, the post of chief soldier is temporarily held by Chen Shangchuan.

At this time, Jiading County was initially decided, and Chen Shangchang also began to vigorously develop people's livelihood and encourage the people of Hanfan to reclaim wasteland.

After last year's war, the population in Jiading withered and was in ruins, but fortunately it received strong assistance from the Ming court, which made Dongpu survive in the second half of the year.

Under the vigorous development of Dongpu officials, this year's summer harvest was abundant, not only giving back to Meiyu, but even repaying the grain owed to the Ming court last year.

Outside, Chen Shangchuan also sent an envoy to Hexian Town in the name of the Ming Court.

Hexian Town is not far from Jiading, and it can be reached in only two or three days by wooden boat.

To say that this Hexian Town is also a port country built by the Nanyang Chinese.

Located at the junction of Chenla, Siam and Quang Nam, it can be said that it is a place where soldiers must fight, and the geographical location is particularly superior.

Mo Jiu has also been establishing Hexian Town here for a while.

During this period, Mo Jiu recruited Nanyang Chinese here, established a trade port, introduced Western firearms, established a musket team, and competed with Siam, and commerce and trade developed in full swing.

When he learned that the Ming court occupied Dongpu and established Jiading County, Mo Jiu was also surprised, and hurriedly invited the envoy of Jiading County to the palace as a guest.

"I heard that General Chen Yang'er failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, and the Nguyen Lord of Nantou Guangnan was taken in and placed in the Dongpu area by the Ruan Lord, so why do you want to turn your back on Guangnan now?" Mo Jiu said bluntly after seeing the envoy.

The messenger was already over half a hundred years old, his temples were gray, and when he saw Mo Jiu asking, he just smiled slightly and explained.

"We are all Ming people, how can we be loyal to the Fan Lord, General Chen and General Yang have lived under Guangnan for a long time, but they are just seeking a glimmer of life for my Ming people in Annam."

"Now that the Ming court of Luzon has been established, we and other Ming people have naturally submitted to the imperial court."

After listening to Chen Ande's words, Mo Jiu nodded.

"I have also heard Siamese merchants mention that Luzon has set up a Ming court to compete for Luzon Island than the Spaniards, but I didn't expect that now the forces have reached Annam and the area of Chenla." Mo Jiu sighed.

"Now, I am a guest under the command of King Chenla, where I recruit exiles to establish towns and villages to resist Siam and Quang Nam, and nominally I am also a courtier of Chenla." Mo Jiu said.

"Should this really be the case?" Chen Ande's deep eyes looked at Mo Jiu.

Mo Jiu drank a glass of turbid wine and no longer looked at Chen Ande.

"Although I am a true courtier, I have long since stood on my own."

"Now the development of Hexian Town is also thriving, I know what you mean, but you just want to persuade me to return to the Ming Court." Mo Jiu said coldly.

Chen Ande nodded nondeniably.

"Now whether the Ming court wants to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, or based on Nanyang, it needs to unite the forces of the Ming people in Nanyang, and now the river immortals should be submitted to the Ming court." Andrew Chen explained.

Mo Jiu stood up and categorically vetoed.

"Mr. Chen, please also inform General Chen that I, Hexian, have long been self-reliant and do not want to participate in the affairs of the Ming Court."

In this regard, Chen Ande was not surprised, but just muttered earnestly.

"Can the river fairy stand on his own?"

Hearing this, Mo Jiu just smiled coldly.

"I will build a town here to collect Han Chinese immigrants."

"With the construction of new walls, the digging of moats, the construction of wooden boats, the purchase of advanced firearms from the Francophiles and the Englishmen, the formation of armies, and the defeat of the Siamese invasion in several great battles, does Mr. Chan think we can stand on our own feet?" Mo Jiu pointed to a row of firecrackers outside the courtyard and said with a smile.

"Hexian Town is well-equipped, and the sailors are all equipped with warships." Chen Ande nodded, and what he saw on this trip was indeed the same.

"But the River Immortal

There are no more than a thousand men, no more than a few hundred, and they can compete with Siam, Chenla, and Quang Nam." Chen Ande asked rhetorically.

"You don't see the area of Jiading, thousands of my Dongpu Ming people were surrounded by the combined forces of Guangnan and Zhenla, if it weren't for the Ming expedition to Dongpu, my Jiading would have been in danger?"

Mo Jiu's face changed, he had already heard about Dongpu.

It is also known that Zhenla colluded with Quang Nam and surrounded Dongpo with his combined forces.

In the end, the Ming expedition defeated the Quang Nam and Zhenla coalition forces with a score of 1:2.

"We are under the protection of King Chenla to fight against Siam for King Chenla, so why should we worry about Quang Nam being hostile to Chenla?" Mo Jiu shook his head.

Chen Ande couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and looked out of the courtyard while eating tea.

"I, the Ming Dynasty, have set up a county seat in the Dongpu area, which means that Quang Nam has long been cut off from Ha Xian."

"Now, the three kingdoms that really stand on the side of the river immortals are Siam, Chenla, and Daming."

After hearing this, Mo Jiu finally fell silent.

Chen Ande no longer spoke, but drank tea by himself.

The summer is scorching, and only the whistling of summer cicadas can be heard in the house.

The incense next to the screen exudes a quaint scent.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and in the end, it was Mo Jiu who took the lead in breaking the peace.

"Mr. Chen, this should be said."

Chen Ande just stood up with a smile and saluted Mo Jiu.

"Now, the Ming Dynasty has long been based in the South Seas, and it is already a strong army, Siam and Hexian are enemies and have repeatedly invaded, and the two kings of Zhenla are competing, how should the prince be chosen?"

Mo Jiu didn't say a word, he was sipping tea there and thinking.

"General Chen and General Yang have returned to the Ming court, and now General Chen is already the magistrate of Jiading County, and General Yang is the general army of Jiading.

"And Jiading has already controlled Dongpu, Meidi, the soldiers have passed Dingxiang, the east rejects Guangnan, and the west conquers Zhenla, and the power of the Ming people in Annam has never been so prosperous, all of which are the merits of the Ming court." 藲礿尛裞網

"Why don't you return to the Ming court and carry out commerce and trade in the area of Hexian for the Ming court, expand the territory, and make contributions?"

Chen Ande's words touched Mo Jiu.

Now the two kings of Zhenla are fighting, and Siam is eyeing each other.

If he does not return to the Ming court, I am afraid that the Jiading Ming army will attack.

At that time, how can they resist with their own hundreds of troops?

Previously, the Zhenla army was defeated in the hands of the Jiading Ming people, and thousands of soldiers were lost, how could the king of Zhenla care about the life or death of a Ming person?

"It's not a secret, General Chen Shangchuan has reported to the Ming Court in Luzon, if the general is willing to lead the Hexian people to return, the Ming Court is willing to set up a county in Hexian, Lord Mo Jiu will shoulder the second post of Hexian Zhixian County and the general army, there is the Ming army guarding Hexian, and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is building a seaport, and the merchants are connected, and Hexian will inevitably prosper and prosper."

Seeing that Mo Jiu was touched, Chen Ande continued to add oil.

"We all fled to Nanyang because of the war and refused to serve the Qing Dynasty, and now that the Ming court of Luzon is established, do you still want the Han people of Hexian to suffer from the war?"

Chen Ande looked at the leader of the river immortal in front of him and said earnestly.

"I have taken Han Min into Ha Xian, and I will not let Han Min suffer from war again." Mo Jiu said categorically.

He gritted his teeth, seemed to have made up his mind, and saluted Chen Ande.

"Please also ask Lord Chen to inform General Chen Shangchuan that I, Mo Jiu, am willing to lead the Hexian tribe to return to the Ming Court."
