Zhou Chong, who was far away in Songjiang Prefecture, did not know what happened in Beijing, nor did he know that Jiang Bin, who had no hope of meeting Zhengde, was once again cursing Zhengde because of the influence of his opening of a military academy, just like in the original history.

He also jumped from a military instructor to a close confidant around Zhengde. Zhengde's life trajectory seemed to have returned to the original path again.

After a year of construction of Shanghai New City, the city center and several major roads have been completed. The Sihai Governor's Office and several subordinate yamen have also moved to Shanghai New City for office. It is worth mentioning that the construction of Shanghai Port has also been completed.

A small part has been completed, and now a portion of the ship can be docked.

With the attraction of the port and the Governor's Office, many people have begun to buy land and build houses in Shanghai New City. After all, as the governor's office and emerging port, it is very good whether it is used for shops or residences.

The choice is to take advantage of the fact that the new city has just been built and the land price is relatively cheap, so many people with vision have begun to buy land in Shanghai New City. In this way, a new amount of funds has been injected into the construction of Shanghai New City, making

The construction speed of Shanghai City has accelerated a little bit again. I believe that in a few years, the prosperous Shanghai City in later generations will appear on the land of the Ming Dynasty.

In the sand table room in the Governor's Office, Zhou Chong, Wang Shouren and Jiao Fang stood next to the huge sand table, listening to Zhang Cai, who had just returned from Nanyang to explain the development situation of Nanyang. Some time ago, Zhang Cai was sent to Nanyang by Zhou Chong to the local area.

We examined the local situation in Nanyang so that the Governor's Office can make adjustments and preparations for Nanyang's next strategy.

"Sir, please see, after Malacca was occupied by our Ming Dynasty, although the original Malacca Kingdom was unwilling to give up, it was powerless to stop us from further devouring the Malay Peninsula. Now the southern and central parts of the Malay Peninsula have been actually controlled by our Ming Dynasty

. However, this peninsula is densely covered with jungle, and other places are not able to be reclaimed except for the coastal areas. So for us, the biggest resource on this peninsula is the wood in it, and the local area also

Several iron ore and tin ore were discovered, and the output was said to be quite large. Now some merchants have bought the mining rights to mine, and I believe they can attract many immigrants."

After introducing the Malay Peninsula, Zhang Cai's finger moved south, then pointed to Jinzhou on the other side of the Strait of Malacca and said: "As for Jinzhou, the progress made here is beyond my expectations. Since

After the old port defected, we migrated a large number of immigrants to Jinzhou. We were originally interested in the fertile land and hot climate there, which was very suitable for the cultivation of rice, tea and various spices, but some time ago, we discovered several in Jinzhou.

Gold Mine. In addition, Xu Na and others organized to explore the island, and found more gold, silver and other minerals. This attracted countless people to visit the island for gold hunting, especially the Ming Dynasty.

In the southern coastal areas, there are several sea boats carrying gold hunters to Jinzhou every day.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chong took the lead and laughed: "Gold and silver are touching. Jinzhou is not too safe, but these gold diggers rushed to Nanyang like crazy. It seems that we are going to find it in Nanyang again.

A few gold mines will definitely speed up the pace of immigration in Southeast Asia. As long as there are more people in the Ming Dynasty, Southeast Asia can be completely stabilized!"

"It is indeed a good idea to attract people to Nanyang with gold and silver, but Nanyang also needs to ensure the safety of gold diggers. Otherwise, if the gold diggers are too injured, they may scare away many people who are preparing to go to Nanyang.

"Wang Shouren also spoke at this time.

Regarding Wang Shouren's concern, Zhang Cai smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I have said just now that the development in Jinzhou is a bit unexpected, for example, with the entry of those gold diggers, the old port is stationed in

The army also began to clean up the native forces on the island. Now, except for the Aceh Kingdom in the northwest corner of Jinzhou, which has not been eliminated, the remaining native forces have been completely wiped out. If there is a case of Ming immigrants being attacked in some place,

Then the natives within a radius of fifty miles will be killed, so there are few Ming immigrants attacked by natives now. However, the local climate and poisonous insects and beasts in the jungle still pose a considerable threat to the Ming immigrants.

!”

Hearing Zhang Cai lightly say that all the local people in the radius of 50 miles were about to be massacred, Wang Shouren couldn't help but look a little unbearable, but he had also been to Jinzhou in person and knew the local ones.

The situation also understood those lazy and stupid natives, so although he felt that the decree was a bit cruel, his reason told him that this was the most suitable decree for immigrants in Southeast Asia.

Compared to Wang Shouren's unbearableness, Zhou Chong and Jiao Fang did not show any strange expressions. Zhou Chong came from later generations and was born with a hatred towards the natives in Nanyang. In his opinion, what cruelty is

It is natural for the use of laws on those natives. As for Jiao Fang, he had long seen through the worldly feelings, was not bound by worldly etiquette and law, and his mind was as firm as iron. In his opinion, as long as it could be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, at the same time,

It can also make one's own power rise again, so even killing all the natives in Nanyang is just a trivial matter.

"By the way, what's going on with the Aceh Kingdom? With the troops stationed in the old port, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy a small native country, right?" Jiao Fang asked at this time. It seemed that he wanted to do it thoroughly.

Clean up Jinzhou so as not to worry about Jinzhou's public security in the future.

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiao, the reason why the Kingdom of Aceh was not destroyed is not that the old port is not strong enough, but that there is really no oil and water in Aceh. At least Xu Na and the others were unable to find gold mines there. In addition, Aceh also has no power and water.

The kingdom is mainly composed of some Muslim merchants, who travel between Malacca and the Indian coast. If we want to enter the Indian Ocean, we need the assistance of these Muslim merchants. In addition, the Kingdom of Aceh is willing to express our surrender to our Ming Dynasty, so the old port is here.

He did not destroy the other party for the time being, but used the routes controlled by the other party to transport the Ming Dynasty to India." Zhang Cai introduced with a smile again.

"So that's it. I'll say that with that boy Li Yi's personality, how could he tolerate an annoying guy like Aceh beside him?" Jiao Fang said with a sudden smile.

However, when Zhou Chong saw Jiao Fang's appearance, he laughed secretly. Jiao Fang was not unaware of the reason why the old Hong Kong governor Li Yi left the Kingdom of Aceh. The reason why he asked specifically was that he wanted Zhou Chong to understand.

Yi did not make any mistakes in governing. The reason why Jiao Fang defended Li Yi was because Li Yi was also from a northerner and was previously excluded and was arranged to the Maritime Bureau. Unexpectedly, he met Zhou Chong, a great lucky star. Now

Li Yi has already become the prefect and has become an important figure in the northern officials, so Jiao Fang naturally needs to support him in every way.

"Li Yi did a good job this time. Although the old port was later than Malacca's Ming Dynasty, the development there was a rise in the future. He had occupied ten of the entire Jinzhou. If it were two years later, the entire Jinzhou would be in full swing.

, I can propose to the court to promote the old Hong Kong government to the Old Hong Kong Administrator's Office. At that time, all the adults will be recorded in history!" Zhou Chong said with a smile. Zhou Chong naturally had his painstaking efforts for Jiao Fang.

You have to be considerate, not to mention that Li Yi did a very good job in Jinzhou.

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Jiao Fang's face also smiled. If the old Hong Kong government was promoted to the old Hong Kong Administrator's Office, then Li Yi would at least become the governor. In this way, there would be more officials in the north.

With a senior official, coupled with Zhou Chong's support in the future, their northern officials had a greater hope of turning things around.

After introducing Jinzhou, Zhang Cai's finger began to move eastward, and then pointed to the largest island in the South Ocean, which is Borneo, and it began to introduce: "This is Borneo, the largest island in the South Ocean, but although it is large,

There are not many places for living in the entire island. There are mountains in the middle, all covered by dense forests, and plains around them, but there are also dense jungles. The jungle is full of poisonous insects and beasts. The natives on the island are fewer than other islands.

, Only in the northwest coastal areas of Borneo, where there are more local people living there, and there are even some native kingdoms, but now they have been wiped out by the fleets of Malacca and the old port, and Xu Na has also discovered gold mines there.

Some settlements centered on gold mines have now formed.”

After hearing Zhang Cai’s introduction to Borneo, Zhou Chong nodded in agreement. Even in later generations, the population density on Borneo was much smaller than that of other Nanyang islands. The most important part of the entire island is the island.

In the northwest, Brunei, later generations, there is no need to develop the entire island in the Ming Dynasty, it only needs to occupy the richest part of the island.

Next, Zhang Cai introduced Luzon, which is closest to the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, although Luzon is closest to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty started its immigration very late, but now it is developing rapidly and is the only one in Nanyang that can be with Jin.

Compared with the islands in the continent, this is because many gold and copper mines have been found on Luzon.

Among them, the gold mine attracted many gold diggers, and the copper mine attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty because the copper mine reserves on Luzon Island were too large. According to Xu Na's preliminary estimate, if it was mined with all efforts, it would be Lu.

The copper mines on the Song Island can meet the Ming Dynasty's demand for copper. In addition, although the Ming Dynasty allowed gold and silver to flow, the main currency was copper coins. For the people, copper is money. Now such a large one was found on Luzon Island.

The imperial court naturally could not calmly take it, and the Ministry of Works has now begun to intervene in the mining industry in Luzon.

After talking about the island above, Zhang Cai finally talked about the last Java Island. This island is still ruled by the Tamme Kingdom, but now the army of the Governor's Office is ready, just waiting for Zhang Cai to collect information.
