Dragon Sea Empire

West of Manila.Across the vast and deep South China Sea.In the middle of Cochin China, thousands of miles away.There is a Hoi An city on the coast of Zhongqi area.not long ago.The king of Cochin China granted the Chinese in his land.Choose a place to build a town.Dedicated to trade; this is Hoi An.It is the center of Zhongqi today.The town is actually divided into two districts. .One belongs to the Chinese.The other half are Japanese. .Nihoncho.Each is governed by a magistrate.The autonomous governor of the Chinese district.Has always been the largest local trading company. .The shopkeeper of the Chinese company's store.

In just a few years.Hoi An has developed into an important trade center in Vietnam.Hoi An's international passenger and cargo terminals are distributed along the river.The straight street on the river bank is three or four miles long.Known as the Great Tang Street.Various shops are densely distributed.All kinds of houses live side by side.Almost all the permanent residents are Fujianese.In total, there are about [-] Chinese living here.All giants.There are also many people who marry locals here.The annual tax paid to the King of Cochin.is an important source of income for the country.

In the lobby of the apse of the Mazu Temple in Tang Street.Gathered fifty or sixty overseas Chinese.Most of them are in their 40s and [-]s.There are not a few rich businessmen who dress luxuriously.Pan and Wu in black jackets.It looks very abrupt and eye-catching in all kinds of costumes.Killed Spanish Governor Das Marinas that year.After escaping from the Philippines.Living in Jiaozhi.In Hoi An also made some achievements.After uniting with the Chinese company.Now he is the shopkeeper of the Chinese company in Hoi An.He is also the Chinese self-governor of Hoi An Chinatown.

In front of these middle-aged men and wealthy businessmen.Most of them were old brothers who fled the Philippines with him.

"...Brothers. I'll say it up front. My family's children will all join the Chinese company's expedition team; brothers. You can decide for yourself. Whether you want to join. My whole family. Except for my younger brother, all died in Ganla. I have waited for more than ten years. I finally have the opportunity to take revenge. I will never let this opportunity pass. Some of the brothers’ family members died on Luzon Island. I don’t know what you think.”

Pan Hewu, who is short in stature, has a capable appearance.He is a straightforward and decisive fisherman's son.The means of handling affairs are very decisive.He led the uprising on the Spanish warship.Simply kill all the Spaniards from top to bottom.Together with those native auxiliary soldiers.At this moment, he looked at those old brothers sharply.Back then, the vicious air filled the whole body: "Our Self-Defense Force has been trained by the instructors sent by Captain Yin. It has been secretly drilled for a year. It takes a thousand days to use a soldier. Our revenge is coming. Our self-defense It's time for the guards to move their hands."

"Brother Pan. We will follow you. Just like in the past, we will cut off the heads of the Ganla people." Several old brothers who still maintained their blood were the first to shout out.Those rich businessmen who lost their fighting spirit in the comfortable and rich environment.They looked at each other for a while.Then he continued to state:

"Brother. Contribute people, efforts and money. You speak. My Zhang family listens to you."

"Brother Pan. I am willing to hand over my boat to you...."

"Treasurer Pan. You say the number. How much is the ship. You have the final say."

Pan and Wu smiled lightly: "Okay, old brothers. We escaped from Luzon Island together. We will fight back together. Don't worry. We are just auxiliary soldiers. Oh. Captain Yin said; we are familiar with the southern Luzon Island. Mountain people and Muslims. We are only helping Captain Yin’s army to fight. It is not our turn to fight big battles.”

……

From Cochin China to the south.Across the deep blue South Sea.This came to the Indonesian archipelago dotted in the South China Sea; the pirate gang of the Chinese company just occupied a port of Aceh indigenous people.The burned native merchant ship by the beach is still smoking.A group of Chinese pirates gathered on the beach under their pirate ship.The spoils are being "divided" according to the rules determined by Yin Feng; the boss accounts for one-tenth.The rest of the property shall be shared equally among all.The boss can also get this one.Everyone was drinking happily.Shouting and dancing.

A Chinese-style sailboat with a blue flag appeared by the bay.The pirates looked up.He casually turned his head and continued to listen to the ship's treasurer to calculate everyone's due share.That's right.This is also the ship of the Chinese company pirate gang.blue banner.Blue bow paintwork.So the pirates ignored the new ships on the sea.Or the boss of the boat looked up.He ordered one of his subordinates to say: "Ah Qi. Go and see if it's the fellows of that group. Tell them that they are late. We, the sixth team, have taken care of everything in this port."

moment.Ah Qi scrambled and ran back.Pushing away everyone shouted in panic: "Boss, he is the ship owner's herald."

"What. Herald. The captain's order. Quick, brothers. Go and meet the captain's herald." The big guy hurriedly threw down a large pile of belongings.A swarm of bees welcomes visitors.

Yin Feng's herald is the original pirate gang brother.Not outsiders.He just followed Yin Feng closely since Luzon Island.Did not participate in the Sailor Rebellion in Hong Kong.This was recommended by Lu Shishi.Get Yin Feng's trust.He became the deputy commander of the fifth team of warships of the Chinese company's navy.

The boss of the sixth team of the Pirate Gang saw him.lol.Then he bowed his hands and saluted: "Ah yes. It turns out that Boss Qi is here for the grand prize. It's time for you to be the Commander."

Boss Qi smiled reservedly.Jump off the plank.A taciturn, cold-eyed young man followed and shot around.Boss Qi cupped his hands and returned the salute: "Brother Lin, you have always been good. I brought you the sachet that your wife asked me to hand over. There are also rosary beads and so on. See for yourself." He handed a bag of things to Jing Jing The grateful boss of the sixth team.

"The owner of the ship also allowed your son to enter the military school's enlightenment class to study and read. He can also work in the company's guard team in the future." Boss Qi looked at him.smile slightly.He turned to look at the silent young man.

Boss Lin suddenly knelt down.Holding small gifts from family members.He kowtowed three times in the direction of the south: "The captain is very kind and virtuous. Someone Lin will remember it in his heart. I will never forget it in this life."

"That's right. The mission assigned by the captain this time. If you can complete it well, maybe the captain will allow you to return to Taiwan because of your contribution."

The silent young man suddenly said, "Are all the brothers here belong to us?"

Boss Qi hurriedly introduced: "Brother Lin. This is Zeng Jianjun from the newly established Supervision Department of the Navy."

Everyone suddenly became tense.They all lowered the tone of discussion by more than ten decibels.The people in the military supervision department are all orphans rescued by Yin Feng from Luzon Island.And selected from the orphans of Luzon victims rescued after returning to Taiwan.According to the legend, he is unselfish to the point of perversion.Except for Yin Feng and Jun Ji.Everything is subject to suspicion.The captain of the sixth team quickly saluted the young man.I didn't dare to say anything more.He just nodded again and again: "Yes. Yes. All of them are my own brothers. Some of them are the children of the local Tang people. They are also reliable family members."

Zeng Jianjun nodded and said: "That's good. Captain Qi. You pass the order."

evening.The messenger boat didn't stop for a moment.Hastily heaved anchor and sailed away.Dozens of Pirate Pioneering Teams of the Chinese Company are distributed across thousands of miles of Nanyang.They are all waiting for their orders.

Watching the distant sail shadow disappear into the darkness of the night sky.Ah Qi couldn't help but ask the boss: "What is the meaning of the ship owner's order? Why do you want us to harass..."

The captain of the ship interrupted him sharply: "Shut your beak. The ship is going to attack Luzon Island. Naturally, he has a clever plan. We just need to follow his instructions. From now on, we are not allowed to talk about the order of the ship owner."

……

From the port of Aceh State to the northwest.Across the sea and the Malay Peninsula.Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam: the trading port of the great city of Ayutthaya.Chinatown Governor.Lin Songtao, shopkeeper of the China United Company Store, was directing his men to move goods to the Xinxing ship by the pier.This shipment is no ordinary cargo.It was the firearms made in Siam that was escorted by Colonel Coutere's friend Andre himself.

Lin Songtao, a Chinese from Guangdong, lived in Siam for a long time to do business.It was the year when the Dutch first arrived in Penghu.Rescued by Yin Feng from Dutch pirates.As a result, he became a shareholder of Zhonghua Company and the treasurer of Siam Shop.at the same time.He was also the commercial agent of King Naresuan of Siam.It's logical.He also became the director of Ayutthaya Chinatown.

The city of Ayutthaya was built in 1350 by King Uthong.It is the capital of Ayutthaya Kingdom (Ayutthaya Dynasty of Siam).The year 1767 in another time and space in history.After the city was captured by Burma, it was burned down.Zheng Xinfu, a Chinese descendant, called the queen and moved the capital south to Thonburi.Establish Thonburi Dynasty.Rebuild a new city in the east of the old city.The ruins of the old city have thus become the site of Ayutthaya Historical Park, a world cultural heritage.

Today's Ayutthaya city is thriving.high population.Businessmen from various countries come and go frequently.It is an important international trade center in Southeast Asia.

Behind Lin Songtao stood the Portuguese mercenary Andre.And some Portuguese in the Portuguese settlement of Ayutthaya.What are they talking about.Andre seemed hesitant to come forward and say hello: "Master Lin." He spoke in authentic Chinese.Lin Songtao hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted: "Mr. An. Your friends have decided whether or not."

Andre cupped his hands in the Chinese way: "We plan to set aside some weapons. Sell them to the Japanese. After all. They are also big customers of the Portuguese."

"Mr. An, you are one of the company's shareholders. You should be clear about the interests of the company. This batch of weapons is urgently needed by the company. It may also be the last batch of Siamese firearms shipped to Taiwan. His Majesty the King has already exported a large number of firearms to Taiwan. A Chinese trading company has become suspicious. Your Majesty does not want to offend the Ming Empire. The firearms produced by these Portuguese craftsmen must all be shipped on board."

Andre blushed.Sighing: "I understand. It's not that I don't care about the company. It's that Yamada and his son in Nihoncho have become more and more influential in front of His Majesty the King recently. My friends just don't want to offend them."

Lin Songtao looked towards the Nihoncho to the west.Shaking his head, he said, "Are you talking about Yamada Nagamasa? Do they want to buy these firearms too? This young man is indeed not simple. He actually created a Japanese guard. Don't worry. I am the business agent of His Majesty the King. I am in charge of everything Trade with China. The goods shipped to Taiwan this time also belong to the royal family. I personally obtained permission in front of the king. Ignore the Japanese pirates in Nihonmachi. We unite Chinatown and Portugal. We will definitely make the Nihonmachi gang Can't speak."

Andre nodded: "Yes. I don't think the Japanese can do anything to us. After all, the king's personal guard is composed of us Portuguese. We are the most trusted foreigners of the king. My friend probably just wants to improve A price for the firearms. I'll go and negotiate with them."

第二天。新兴号满载着1000杆火绳枪。15门青铜6磅炮、5门24磅青铜重炮和一大批火药枪弹什么的。拔锚起航了。新兴号在沿河的日本町一边经过。在嫉妒眼红的日本人面前大摇大摆地向台湾驶去。

The ordnance factory in Taiwan Harbor went all out to produce flintlock muskets and newly developed cast iron cannons.Siam is rich in copper mines.Therefore, the Chinese company has stopped producing copper cannons.All purchased from Siam.

……

From the second half of 1606.East-West trade bases throughout the Indian Ocean in Asia.and colonies occupied by Westerners.There is a mercenary recruitment order circulating everywhere: It is said that a great general and businessman in eastern China wants to avenge his relatives.The object of revenge is unknown.But he paid a high salary to recruit mercenaries from all over the place.The sources seem to be those "new Christians" traveling across Europe and Asia. .Jewish merchant.

Mozambique from Portuguese-occupied East Africa.East and West are going to attack Hormuz.Ports in the Portuguese colonies of Goa and Cochin.Among the Portuguese settlements in Myanmar's coastal ports such as Mataban, Bago and Yangon.The Portuguese colony of Shalian Island in the Irrawaddy Delta and Malacca and other places.Plus the Dutch Spice Islands, Batavia and more.Adventurers and mercenaries from all over the world went to the mysterious oriental China by various means.

Last year, Chinese and Dutch businessmen joined hands to conquer Macau.Portuguese trade was greatly affected.It all depends on the disregard of the previous suspicions of the Chinese company.The generosity gave away a lot of profits.Only the Portuguese can live an easy life.Many unemployed Portuguese adventurers therefore also saw opportunities on the island of Taiwan.He desperately wanted to go to the area controlled by the China United Company to find opportunities to make a fortune.Due to the economic difficulties in Macau.The lives of a large number of black slaves were also affected.When white people have a good life.It is not too harsh on black slaves; but now Macau is recovering.The harshness of white masters to black slaves increased dramatically.As a result, officials in the Xiangshan County Yamen received news of many fugitive black slaves entering the mainland.Some blacks also fled secretly to merchant ships.Came to Taiwan port.

These black slaves were mainly Magaro's East African compatriots.Magaro had a lot of contact with them in Macau.Therefore, everyone knows that there is no black slavery on Taiwan Island.All are free to choose their jobs.and.Magaro is the trusted guard of the owner of Taiwan Island.As a result, dozens of black slaves secretly fled to Taiwan.Come to Magaro.

Because Chen Zhongji was sent overseas.Became Overseas Intelligence Director.Yan Siqi, who doesn't like studying, was transferred by Yin Feng to study and train in the military academy.Lin Yue and Magaro are now in charge of Yin Feng's personal guards.
