On the vast sea, two huge red ships were sailing fast.

Driven by the monsoon, their current speed has exceeded five knots. At this speed, they will be able to see Zengmu Dadao in six or seven days.

And that Zengmu Island is the main island of Natuna in later generations, which is the original Anbuna Island and the current "Ambona Island".

The latter is a name changed by the Dutch.

According to the Chinese, it is Zengmu Dadao.

When Zheng He went to the West, Emperor Yongle ordered that Wansheng Island would not be accepted. It means that living in peace and living without tribute is not required.

"Zeng's mother" was because the boat workers who stayed here at that time were represented by Zeng Yuanfang. His mother lived in her 90s. This was why the word "Zeng's mother" was created, and the Zeng's mother's dark sand that was well-known to later generations.

This place is more than 3,000 miles away from the Taiwan Strait, but in today's season, the smooth red boat is enough to drive here from the Taiwan Strait.

Although Zengmu Dadao is no longer the same as Zhang Jiexu was when he was still alive.

The Zhang clan members who once occupied Zengmu Dadao's own country have now been blowing away by wind and rain. However, the Chinese have the final say on Zengmu Dadao.

Therefore, many Chinese merchant ships traveling to and from Southeast Asia use Zengmu Dada Island as a fixed supply point and docking place.

The merchant ships from the north arrived here almost arrived at their destination. After passing through Zengmu Island, the ships returning to the mainland from the South China Sea had no reliable place to rest and supply on the vast sea route for them to rest and replenish.

Cai Qian stood in the mast plate, holding a telescope and looking around vigilantly.

Nanyang is not a peaceful place. The seemingly calm sea surface here may not hide endless dangers. For ocean-going merchant ships like them, the bad weather is just a secondary threat, and the biggest threat is those bandits and pirates.

The former is specialized in robbing merchant ships, such as the famous Six Flags Gang in the entire Southeast; while some of the latter also work part-time in business, or their job is to do business, while doing business and doing part-time pirates.

After all, there is no morality and justice in the vast ocean. Just look for opportunities. It is normal for the strong to survive.

Because those people's job is business, they will become more ruthless when they start, which is to silence and prevent the news from leaking.

However, many of the people from the Six Flags Gang are robbing money and wanting life, as long as you don’t insist on resisting to the end.

As the fleet's lookout, Cai Qian felt that his job was quite boring, and the vast sea was all the same color. At first glance, it was a little fun to see, but gradually I felt too bored.

He now regrets embezzling high salaries and signing up for the lookout? He now envies the gunners who stay in the cabin.

Can they take classes? Cultural classes, and have plenty of time to learn to read.

You can also go to the preacher to hear the storyteller.

Cai Qian still doesn’t know what the preacher does.

Then Old Man Liu was a storyteller before? Apart from not being seasick at sea? What else can he do besides making everyone laugh?

That's all this? Old Man Liu actually has more money than him.

So Cai Qian envies people who know and write even more.

Cai Qian, who was poor since childhood, died of both his parents when he was a teenager? He was alone and wandered to Sansha Port, Xiapu County. He worked as a fishing boat.

If he hadn't been attracted by the high salary of the Yunxiao Gang, he would still be fishing in Xiapu.

The winds have been strong these two days, but the weather is not very good. I can't see the moon and stars at night? I can't see the sun during the day. I'm driving in a daze on the lonely ocean? If the boats weren't stocking with abundant drinking water and food, it would be really creepy.

In the cabin, Zhu Wo was holding a copy and reading it with relish.

These are all records about Lan Fang, and there are also many records about the main characters of Lan Fang, Luo Fangbo, Jiang Wubo, Wu Yuansheng, and Liu Taier, as well as Huang Guibo of Putou Company, Liu Ganxiang of Minghuang Company, and Xie Jie of Heshun Company.

Huang Guibo and Liu Ganxiang have both failed here, but the harmony is extremely prosperous.

Because Heshun Company is engaged in mining? They are a large alliance of fourteen Chinese gold mining companies and another powerful force among the Chinese in Borneo.

Not only are there many people? They also dare to fight and fight, playing an extremely important role in Lan Fang's rise.

It can even be said that there is no Heshun Company? Then there is no Lanfang Republic now.

Because before Lan Fang's rise? The Chinese organization that dominated Borneo was the Tiandihui. Its leader Liu Sanbo was the most powerful enemy Lan Fang encountered on the road to the rise? Luo Fangbo, who had fought several times, threw away his armor.

But just like the Western proverb says, if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy.

After Liu Sanbo defeated Lan Fang, he monopolized the production and sales of the entire rice market and was eyeing the gold mines in the Dalaolu area.

As a result, the fourteen gold mines of Dalaolu joined forces to deal with the Tiandihui. In the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, the two sides fought fiercely in Wang Likhu, and the Tiandihui was defeated, and Liu Sanbo and more than 500 backbone members were injured and killed.

Then Lan Fang took advantage of the situation and took the meeting of heaven and earth to replace it.

The fourteen gold mining companies participating in the war with the Tiandihui also formally formed an alliance and jointly established the Heshun General Company, with the headquarters located in Talaolu.

Lan Fang, whose power has risen sharply, also looked at Dalaolu, because the world would be defeated before, and its survivors were divided up by mining companies. The gold mining companies that Dalaolu had specialized personnel to engage in agricultural production, and their strength was also rapidly increasing because they made up for their biggest shortcomings.

Lan Fang just doesn’t seek the benefits of the gold mine, and Luo Fangbo and others can also feel the threat from the fight against the deer, let alone why are they not jealous of the profits of the gold mine?

Then Lan Fang was defeated again after a battle.

But Heshun was unable to get closer because Luo Fangbo's character was different from Liu Sanbo before. The latter insisted on oppressing people, just like Fu Jian of the Former Qin Dynasty, and collapsed after the unfavorable battle. Luo Fangbo treats people honestly on weekdays, and because he was a scholar, he received the trust of local Chinese as early as the beginning of his landing in Pontianak. He had previously "teached" in Pontianak for several years and established his prestige and foundation in the local area. Although he failed in the conflict with Heshunde, Luo Fangbo could afford to lose, just like Cao Cao after the Battle of Red Cliff.

At this point, the Chinese in Borneo were separated by Lan Fang and Heshun. However, because Heshun is composed of fourteen companies, it is more like a group to keep warm, and its momentum is far less than Lan Fang. Don't say that Lan Fang has established a country now.

There are flags, currency and yamen, and clothing is also stipulated, with long robes and jackets as the basis. All the soldiers should be dressed as the green camp soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.
