At the beginning of June, Zheng Jun's fleet delivered supplies to the long-awaited Chen Long. What made Chen Long even more delighted was that in addition to the precious supplies such as food, gunpowder, and medicine, there were [-] Qiongzhou new attached troops. And two hundred Li Han families.

"Master Murong, please report to the lord after you go back, and Chen Long will definitely live up to the lord's entrustment." Chen Long vowed to promise, and at the same time put forward the request for the opening of the port and the appointment of Li Doujiao as an official position. "Also ask the adults to forward it on your behalf."

"I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult." Seeing Chen Long's puzzled face, Murong Bin smiled wryly. "Hou Ye also saw that besides the three hundred soldiers and two hundred households that were sent, there were also some soldiers, horses, and common people on the fleet," Niluozi's plan in Xibo was not undisclosed, so Murong Binyuan expressed his intention to Chen Long explained. "The fleet has to go south. It is impossible to return to Dongning before the windy season. Waiting for Dongning's response, this matter may have passed for a year."

As a veteran military officer of Zheng Jun's navy, Murong Bin's words were somewhat inaccurate, but Chen Longming knew that the other party was deliberately dodging, but he couldn't find a way to make a mistake. Who knows whether the other party's attitude represents a certain part of Zheng Jun's forces? ?Thinking of this, Chen Long, who was not on a firm footing, naturally wouldn't blush with the other party.

"Lord Murong, if that's the case, I still have a merciless request." Chen Long stretched out his hand and pulled out a strange sharp knife from his waist. "This kind of special-shaped short sword is called Kryx by Boni people. It is said to be made of meteorite iron from outside the sky. It is the sharpest." While speaking, Chen Long ordered someone to fetch an iron object. With just a wave, the iron object opposite It was broken at the sound, and looking at the edge of Chris, there was no slightest damage. "This sword will be given to your lord."

"It's the so-called merit without reward." Soldiers' resistance to this kind of sharp weapon is actually very limited, but Murong Bin still salivated and pushed back the sword that was said to be worth several cities. "Master Hou, it's better not to make it difficult for you to be dismissed as an official."

"Lord Murong misunderstood, in fact, this matter is not difficult." Chen Long explained his request. "My lord, please complete it."

"Is that so." Murong Bin subconsciously pecked lightly on the table with his fingers. "Speaking of which, this matter is also related to the master's layout in Beiboni. It is appropriate for the lower officials to help, but I am afraid that if the king of Brunei becomes angry and spreads the fire on Lord Hou, That would be self-defeating."

"I came up with the idea, it's self-defeating, and I have no complaints." Chen Long pushed Chris to Murong Bin again. "I also ask Brother Murong to help you with all your strength."

Murong Bin touched the sword in front of him as if he was stroking his lover's skin, and when he raised his head again, there was already a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is so earnest, naturally, I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders."

"Where are we?" Tian Chao was awakened from his lethargy by a loud noise, and he turned sideways carefully, so as not to let his buttocks that had not healed after eating the board touch the solid edge of the bed. "Encountered an enemy? Why did you start shooting? Help me up, I want to go to the deck to have a look."

Ma Bian, who was waiting on him, went to the bed and knelt down, letting Tian Chao hold his neck tightly with his hands, and reported while getting up cautiously: "My lord, we have not encountered any enemies, we are just escorting our water. The division has arrived at the outer port of the capital of Brunei and is firing cannons at the Brunei people to demonstrate."

"Fire cannons to demonstrate?" Tian Chao had been recuperating in the cabin due to injuries, so he naturally didn't know the agreement between Murong Bin and Chen Long. "Why are you so troublesome?" Tian Chao, who was lying on Ma Bian's body, slowly straightened up with the help of his opponent. "Send someone to tell Lord Murong that we are willing to go to land to help in the war"

Zheng Jun's fleet showed off its power outside Brunei Bay, and then sent troops ashore to plunder the commercial ports and villages along the coast, and once approached the royal capital of Brunei along the Brunei River.Faced with the sudden attack, the Brunei court was shocked and immediately sent envoys to Zheng Jun's fleet to seek peace, so the two sides started a lengthy negotiation on the lucky boat that Zheng Jun was on.

In the course of the negotiation, Zheng Jun's main fleet was divided into two groups. Except for an empty ship that was still bluffing in Brunei Bay, the rest of the ships traveled all the way to the southwest along the coast. Rai shook.

In mid-June, when Tian Chao’s troops were still slowly looking for the mouth of the Kapuas River (sungaikapuas in Indonesian) mentioned by Zheng Kezang, Murong Bin accepted Japanese businessmen and Chinese immigrants living in Brunei. With the mediation of Brunei, the "Brunei Draft Treaty for 40 Years in Yongli Calendar" was reached.

The "Draft Treaty" firstly confirmed Mingzheng's possession of Labuan Island and its affiliated islands, and secondly allowed Mingzheng to open a shop in the commercial port of Brunei Bay to purchase timber, gold, and rhino horns, and once again recognized Mingzheng's control over Chinese immigrants and Japanese businessmen. With the right of protection, he finally promised that the raw silk, silk, tea and other in-demand commodities obtained by the Brunei ship (actually dominated by Chinese and Japanese merchants) going north to Guangzhou for tribute trade would be resold to Penghu first.

After the cloud and rain, Zheng Kezang held Xie Ziling in his arms and enjoyed the aftertaste for a while, and when the body temperature of both of them returned to normal, he asked, "How is the situation in Xiangmei Courtyard these days?"

"My lord is thinking about when I can accept that little girl." Xie Ziling said with a little jealousy. Feng Lianniang was naturally hostile.

"Nonsense!" Zheng Kezang slapped the woman's butt hard. "Is Gu such an impatient person? Gu is worried that she has ulterior motives in entering Anping." Of course Zheng Kezang knew that these days when he entered the city, Geng Tang'er behaved quite well. Apart from greeting Chen Xianqiao every day, it can be said that the gate is not too far away. The seven-year-old Shang Xiguan plays with Jia Niang and Rou Niang every day, and seems to be more active, but Zheng Kezang becomes more suspicious. "You are in charge of the affairs of the city. If I don't ask, which one are you going to ask?"

Hearing Zheng Kezang's explanation, Xie Ziling giggled and said, "The lord is trying to cover up the obvious. What kind of intentions can a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl have at home? His power is just to avenge his parents, the Lord is making such a fuss, is there a second Zetian Great Sage in the world?"

Xie Ziling's words made sense, but Zheng Kezang pinched her chest in anger, "If you have something to say, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Xie Ziling's face was flushed again by Zheng Kezang, and she hastily pressed Zheng Kezang's evil hand: "The concubine said, the concubine said."

Zheng Kezang then stopped, and Xie Ziling managed to calm his breath: "According to the female officer serving Xiangmeiyuan, that little girl reads some scriptures every day except female celebrities. The lord's savagery."

"Does the princess have to be unruly?" Zheng Kezang commented noncommittally, and then thought of something. "Jia Niang, Rou Niang, have they been vaccinated?"

The early method of preventing smallpox in China is called human pox inoculation. The specific method is to make pulp (pus) from the smallpox scab on the patient's body, and wipe it under the skin of the recipient with a knife to make it immune, so as to prevent smallpox.There is also a "pox clothing method" vaccination method, which is to let the recipient wear the clothes of the smallpox patient.Since the infectees do not get the disease through the lungs through the air, most will only experience mild symptoms of smallpox.However, both the smallpox inoculation method and the pox clothing method have serious disadvantages, that is, the person who is vaccinated gets real smallpox, so there is a great chance of death, and the risk is very high; moreover, the person who is inoculated is completely resistant to smallpox In the past, smallpox would be transmitted to family members around him, so family members who were not resistant to smallpox had to be quarantined.

For this reason, after Zheng Kezang succeeded to the throne, he arranged for military and Chinese doctors to experiment with vaccinia vaccination, and after Kangxi issued an edict to widely require the children of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to start vaccinating against vaccinia, the experiment was carried out in various counties of Dongning. It took more than three years. The promotion of this technology is already very mature.

"Let them be vaccinated in a few days." Xie Ziling replied. "Did Shang Xiguan also get vaccinated?"

"That's natural." Zheng Kezang nodded. "Jinniang and Geng Tang'er will also be vaccinated together. When Baoguan and Zhenguan are one year older, they will be planted in advance. I am a little worried." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezang gave Xie Ziling serious orders. "Ma'am is healthy again, Chunniang and Yuniang can take care of the children, but you should keep an eye on other things."

Xie Ziling nodded lightly, and then circled Zheng Kezang's chest: "This concubine knows that the Lord is still thinking about that piece of meat that didn't reach his mouth."

Zheng Kezang was a bit dumbfounded, but thinking about it, Xie Ziling's words were actually very reasonable. Now Chen Xianqiao had a fixed three days in a ten-day period, and Tong Chunniang and Fang Yuniang only went there once more in a ten-day period. Although Xie Ziling stayed here for an extra day However, compared to the most favored Feng Lianniang, it seems to be a big disadvantage. However, Feng Lianniang has been there too much, and Zheng Kezang is also a little tired of aesthetics. It may be this kind of mentality that made him introduce Geng Tanger, a newcomer, to Anping.

"Speaking of which, the lord spends the most time with Lianniang, but why don't you see any movement in Lianniang's stomach?"

Zheng Kezang was still condemning himself, when he heard this sentence suddenly, his heart was hit like a sledgehammer, he straightened up immediately, staring at Xie Ziling with a terrified expression: "What do you want to say?"

"Chenqie, there are no concubines." Xie Ziling was a little flustered. "The concubine is just sighing, my lord"

Zheng Kezang waved at her, and then put on his clothes. Xie Ziling hurriedly helped, but Zheng Kezang kept looking gloomy.

When he was fully dressed, Zheng Kezang got up and went to the outside room, and ordered to the servant outside the house: "Call Jin Shijiu here."

In the dead of night, Zheng Kezang made an urgent move, and Jin Shijiu was naturally a little flustered. However, when he arrived at Taoshiyuan, he saw Zheng Kezang's frightening face when he entered the door: "Master, I don't know what's urgent to call my servant."

"Someone drugged Haitangyuan to make her unable to give birth, and said that it was you who greeted her, how courageous it is!"

Jin Nineteen was so frightened that he knelt down: "Slave, how dare you?"

"Say, whose idea was it?"

Jin Shijiu slapped his head like mud: "No, no one dares, the slave will go and investigate, go and investigate"

"Check?" Zheng Kezang sneered. He had watched this kind of competition for favor a lot in TV dramas in his previous life, and he didn't expect that it would be his turn. "I've found out, how can I get rid of Gu." Zheng Kezang swept Xie Ziling, who was pale. "Send out the female officer in charge of the Haitang Hospital, and then send someone to the Haitang Hospital for diagnosis and treatment. If there is another moth in the Haitang Hospital, don't blame the solitary words."
