Cai Tong was sitting on the rickety lucky boat. Although no amount of wind, waves and turbulence would make him, the grandson of Cai Yi, the former commander of the Chinese military ship, get seasick, his current condition is not much better than seasickness--- Eleven days ago, Zheng Kezang personally summoned him, during which Zheng Kezang asked him to make a choice, whether to stay in the Boy Scouts or to work in the Ministry of War - Cai Tong understood that although he was also a Jiayin student, Up to now, I am only a team leader. Not only can I not compare with elites from humble families such as Maying, Anlong, and Huang Jin, but I am also no match for generals such as Hong Hui and Lin Kang. My future in the army is already extremely limited. But is it really a good choice to enter the staff room?

"Chengxin, I have already seen the coastline of Binh Thuan Long (Note: Vietnam's Binh Thuan Province, Ninh Thuan Province)." Someone outside the cabin called Cai Tong with a new military rank. "The captain should make preparations earlier."

"It's about to arrive?" Cai Tong pulled out of his thoughts and didn't tidy up his clothes. He just walked out of the cabin slowly and looked at the tropical scenery on land in the distance. Introduction to the history of the city.

Seventeen dynasties have been handed down in Champa since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Of course, there are Fan Xiong, Bhathara Bhagman I, Fan Yangmai, Vijandaravarman I, Jayaindravarman IV, and Bhabhi Nasol. (Note: That is, Ada in "History of the Ming Dynasty", Zhi Peng'e in "Da Viet Historic Records") and many other heroes. However, his country is located in the pincer attack of Annan and Chenla (Khmer), and the wars are frequent , The national power was consumed a lot, and it was finally destroyed by Annan during the Tianshun period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and became a vassal chieftain under his rule. land.

However, the kings of the southern dynasty who ruled Champa are not willing to become Annan's vassals. Taking advantage of Annan's split from north to south, the current king of Champa, Posaut, is ambitiously preparing to restore the old land. The main lands such as Amaropati, Indrapra, and Vijaya were lost, so even if Annan split, relying on his own strength alone would definitely not be an opponent of Lord Ruan with the support of the Portuguese.

"That's why Yu is here." Cai Tong looked at this strange land and took a deep breath. Although he was still a little reluctant, the habit of obeying orders in all actions that he developed in the boy camp still made him face his future. life. "Wood, rice, sugar." Cai Tong silently recited everything he might have gotten from Bin Tonglong and the orders he had received. "And explore the surrounding bays to find a suitable base for Dongning." After repeating all this, Cai Tong shook his fist fiercely in the direction of Taiwan. "Chief, Yu will let you see, Yu is no worse than Hong Hui and the others!"

At the same moment when Cai Tong made his oath, Chen Shengwu was carried on the streets of Guangzhou Mansion in a small sedan chair. By means of forging official documents and bribes, he already possessed the status of a scholar. This time he took part in the Kangxi 20 He came to Guangzhou in the name of the Guangdong Provincial Examination in [-]. Next, he will buy a property and settle in Guangzhou, a city far more prosperous than Wenchang in Qiongbei, so as to officially start contacting and restoring the Hanliu intelligence organization that Zheng Kezang attaches great importance to.

"Yu really saw the right person." Squinting his eyes in the same swaying soft sedan, Chen Shengwu murmured to himself gratifiedly. Due to the blockade of the Qing army, he had to switch hands a few times to get the news about Taiwan, so he just learned of it. Only when Zhu Jin died and Zheng Kezang got rid of Feng Xifan would he have such a sigh. He lamented not only Zhu Jin's early death in his prime, but also Feng Xifan's sad end, and Zheng Kezang's boldness and determination. After a while, he put his mind back and asked through the soft sedan chair. "Hu Wu, did you read right just now?"

"Master, can't you believe my eyes?" The guard who followed the soft sedan responded softly. As one of the sharpshooters in the army, although Hu Wu couldn't penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, he could hit a red heart with an arrow within fifty steps. With sharp eyes, looking at a big portrait is naturally a no-brainer. "It's clear that the portrait of the real Baihe is enshrined." The portrait of the real Baihe is one of the symbols of the Hanliu organization---it is said that it was drawn according to Chen Yonghua's image, but Chen Yonghua himself said that this is just a rumor---but with the Zhu Chenggong's death, the disintegration of the Hanliu organization, underground organizations such as Qiankunhui, Tiandihui, and Sandianhui, which claim to be from the Hongmen, often use this symbol, but in any case, they are all anti-Qing forces among the people symbol of. "How about I go to explore again tonight?"

"No, don't." Chen Shengwu stopped. "We just came to Guangzhou, and we are not familiar with the place. It would be bad if we showed our heels. Let's put it aside for now, take your time, and don't worry." Chen Shengwu thought for a while, and then ordered again. "The key is to communicate with Dongning. This must not go wrong."

"Master, don't worry, I've made an agreement with Wenchang, what's the matter with coming to the boat every month?" When Hu Wu said this, he suddenly kept silent. Putting down the sedan chair on his shoulders, he squeezed aside, and then the gong of Jingdao sounded, Chen Shengwu quietly opened the curtain of the sedan chair door, and saw the guards holding the tiger head card of quietness and evasion walking on the avenue brazenly. The blue wool official sedan followed majesticly behind, and at this time Hu Wu reported. "Master, it's Hui Chao Dao." The full name of the so-called Hui Chao Dao should be Hui Chao Branch Patrol and Military Preparation Road. Although he is not the immediate boss of Huizhou and Chaozhou, he is also a senior official in charge of defense and supervision, but this The fourth-rank official is not a Han, so he listened to Hu Wu's report. "My lord, he's a Tartar official full of Eight Banners."

It turns out that these Eight Banners masters are like dogs when they leave the capital, but Guangzhou is no different than other places. In addition to the provincial officials, there are many coated slaves of princes and ministers in Beijing, and even Kangxi's eyes and ears. The ranks of the team may seem majestic, but in fact they are still very disciplined.

However, Hu Wu was out of line, so that Chen Shengwu had to give him a hard look. Hu Wu also knew that he had said something wrong, so he touched his head embarrassingly, and then Chen Shengwu reminded: "Don't go to the ground, send it earlier." them."

Hu Wu nodded knowingly. At this time, the team of Manchurian officials had gone away. Chen Shengwu knocked on the edge of the sedan chair with a folding fan. "Don't take the main road. It has been blocked for such a long time. Maybe there is a hurry over there, so we should find a way to take the side road."

These bearers are all geographical ghosts in Guangzhou city, and their size is to eat food in the streets and alleys. No, when I heard that the person on me was also going to take a shortcut and take a shortcut, I didn't have another word at the moment, and immediately turned around. Going into the small alley, but it was just such a turn that made Hu Wu really discover the problem.

"Master, there are people following behind, it doesn't look like a thief." Hu Wu said with some annoyance, how could it attract prying eyes without Cai Lubai. "It's probably because when I saw the portrait of the real Baihe just now, I showed my face. Do you want to go down and scare them away?"

"No need, let them follow if they like, and you won't have to admit them in the future." Chen Shengwu sneered, not letting Hu Wu do anything was not because he believed that the other party was a comrade who fought against the Qing Dynasty together, but because he was worried about Hu Wuyi Once you do it, it will inevitably make people see that you have military skills. Although you always explain the past, it will be bad if you attract the attention of interested people. You must know that this is an enemy-occupied area, and traitors who are willing to sell themselves to thieves There are too many, so it's better to be safe. "As long as it's not for money or life, let them go first." Hu Wu replied, but Chen Shengwu didn't finish his sentence. "Remember next time, don't say anything about subordinates, how many times have I said that we are masters and servants"

When Chen Shengwu asked them to go, the group really thought he hadn't noticed, and they stared at them for three days in a row. Chen Shengwu deliberately walked the streets and alleys every day to visit the candidates for the exam, and they could see their tails every day. However, Chen Shengwu was unmoved, and finally one day the tail disappeared.

However, when the tail disappeared, a bad news also reached his ears. Hu Wu, who had been anti-stalking, found that he had lost his target: "Master, the person disappeared. The group of people who worshiped the real Baihe that I saw last time Everyone's gone."

It's normal to disappear, after all, it's an anti-Qing underground organization, how could it be possible to keep exposing yourself openly?Isn't that asking the Qing soldiers to arrest him?However, Chen Shengwu judged that the other party was unlikely to leave Guangzhou just like that, and must be hiding in some corner to spy on the current situation.

"The Qing captives are powerful, and they should change places occasionally. After a few days, the scholars who take the exam will arrive one after another. Taking advantage of the crowd, the Tartars can't take care of them. You go around, no, I don't want you to go," Chen Shengwu denied his decision just now. "Your face must be remembered, let Du Qi look for it, and don't be alarmed when you find it, just keep an eye on it." Chen Shengwu walked a few steps in the room. "Go find a barbarian, set up a shop, and the goods from the east will always be sold." At this time, the famous Thirteen Lines had not yet been established, so anyone who had connections could do business with barbarians. "In addition, our business is very difficult. If we sell it cheaply, people will definitely pay attention to it. You can go to a bodyguard company to protect it. Don't use our people, and you can get rid of the relationship when the time comes."

"Yes, little one, let me explain."

Hu Wu finally remembered Chen Shengwu's repeated explanation
