"Soft war?"

Mu Rongshan, as a part of the literati, is making trouble again, and suddenly thinking of this homophonic title, he laughed secretly, but this Hongji does give people a kind of activity that is not in a state of war.

After saying hello to Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong almost treated Mu Rongshan as a minister who went to the countryside to inspect the Qincha, and he was tired of being in Fujian for a day, although Mu Rongshan thought about it again and again, and consciously came out on a business trip, it was one thing to replenish fresh ingredients in Fujian, and it was another thing to really go ashore.

But Zheng Zhilong's more than ten years of operation is really not trivial, as the key point of the only way through the Western Pacific, Fujian is too suitable for business (private), at least between the mountains, in the complex sea area, too suitable for smuggling games.

Naturally, Vietnam also has contacts of the Trung family.

At least in Mu Rongshan's opinion, the black and smoky man, although he couldn't understand what he said, was very disciplined, commanding many Vietnamese laborers to carry down the goods on Zheng Zhilong's ship, yes, even if it was to lead the way for Mu Rongshan, after the two ships entered the port one after another, although they were not notified in advance, the Zheng family's own warehouse manager in Hongji Port was already greeting.

This man was also very attentive in his words, and when he came up, he said, "The grass people have seen a bad trip. ”

Chen Xing, who was sent by the Zheng family just now, was the brother of Chen Tai, who followed Xu Hao to Europe, and whispered to him for a while, naturally knowing that Mu Rongshan, a strangely dressed person, was a noble person from the imperial capital, although the service was strange, but in this era, scholars especially like all kinds of tunes, and there are people who wear Taoist clothes and sway, and the ghost knows what kind of trend this is.

Zheng Xia Qiren didn't look like a businessman, but a thug, full of muscles, but between actions, his hand was injured, Mu Rongshan guessed that he was the Zheng family's general, and after being injured, he was sent here to operate, but I don't know, the Zheng family is some kind of remuneration, or a cold bench.

For this kind of land snake, he has no language barrier, unknown geography, and completely depends on others, and even his first task: to find an opportunity for the Council of Elders to annex Vietnam, he also has to rely on others.

Of course, in terms of face, I still have to pretend, the excuse for this operation, but it is a business trip.

"It's nothing, thank you Brother Zheng, I also have some things on the ship, you guys move down quickly, I'm going to lock the cabin."

In order to keep it secret, this specially made boat is equipped with anti-theft measures, and the all-inclusive design is absolutely safe.

As for all kinds of things, they have naturally been packed up a long time ago, and even the three girls have already changed into strict clothes, and they have walked away in the spring.

Naturally, there are Vietnamese soldiers in the port, but Zheng Xiaqi said hello and passed directly, without having to check any customs clearance issues, and the group did not have to take care of the luggage, so naturally someone would take care of it.

Although Hongji is also a county seat, it does not even have a city wall, it looks like a market from a distance, there are a lot of people, Mu Rongshan can see men and women wearing hats, and many women walk around with goods on their heads, of course, they are all barefoot.

Of course, what caught his attention was the atmosphere of the New Year, as a country that still used the lunar calendar until the 21st century, Vietnam at this time was naturally full of New Year's flavor, and even had a different charm than what he saw in the imperial capital, of course, in the 21st century, the New Year has purely become a carnival of eating and eating, and basically does not play its original role.

Many people are buying and selling New Year's goods in their hands, and there are also special Spring Festival couplets and other things here, and Mu Rongshan is extremely satisfied, as long as there is no cultural barrier, then it is not very difficult to integrate this place, as for the real problem, transportation, it is indeed a problem.

It is not difficult to defeat Vietnam, this country is like a long snake, occupying the Indochina Peninsula facing the South China Sea, but it is a long and narrow strip, which can be said to be naturally passively beaten.

Historically, the Vietnamese themselves have divided their territory into Beiqi, Zhongqi, and Nanqi in management, and the internal gap has been very large for a long time, and even in the 21st century, the taste of pro-China in the north and pro-US in the south has always been very strong.

In a word, the traffic is too difficult, and you will not see a single person from the south in your life, so you naturally lack identity.

According to the classical governance, if Vietnam is defeated, whether it is materials or information, it will be transmitted through the land route of Guangxi, then it is true, it will take several months for something to reach the imperial capital, and when the imperial capital reacts, whether it is to send a large army to clean it up, or to find a way to remove an official, it is too late.

You must know that in the first two decades of the 21st century, Guangxi, a huge area of 100,000 mountains, has just been connected to high-speed rail, and the cost of building roads there is almost several times that of the plains.

Therefore, if you want to rule Vietnam, you must change the so-called tradition of traditional China and establish a country that attaches equal importance to land and sea power.

It is difficult to directly use Guangdong's human resources to radiate Vietnam, but fortunately, the elders are determined.

Mu Rongshan was taken to a restaurant opened by the Han people from the south, saying that it was a restaurant, but in fact it was a few wooden houses, walking here and clicking, Mu Rongshan took the three daughters, all wearing hats, covering their faces with scarves, and several guards around him were on guard with guns, he was holding a folding fan, making enough style, and letting the three girls go to the side to wash and rest with water, he sat at a table, smiled, and said: "Two of you, don't care, sit, um......"

After thinking about it slowly, he said, "This time I came not to do a small business, but to conduct research. ”

"Research?"

Mu Rongshan said: "Yes, the imperial court plans to revise the commercial law to protect the interests of merchants, especially your merchants who are working hard overseas, doing business abroad, will inevitably be exploited internally and externally, and the former Ming has not done enough to protect overseas Chinese, so we have to take care of it." ”

Zheng Xiaqi only heard that the person who came was a noble person from the north at first, and asked him to entertain him well, but when he heard this, he was also moved: "This lord, you are a few officials, hey! He wanted to salute.

If it were someone else, they would naturally not care about these etiquettes, and many elders would stop them loudly, asking not to bow to themselves, at least in the interior of the Council of Elders, kowtow is not allowed, even if it is a big official, just bow lightly, but Mu Rongshan was affected by this, and at the same time went to pull people, but when he pulled, he was "groaning" in his heart, this Zheng Xiaqi looked lean, but why was his body so strong.

Zheng Xiaqi said: "If the court is willing to contribute and send a word for us, we don't have to live like this, not to mention anything else, just now the villain also gave this year's New Year's gift to the big and small Buddha who saved effort." ”

Mu Rongshan nodded, this Vietnam takes the county as the province, the same area, in China is equivalent to a county, but although the sparrow is small, there are many kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, according to Li Xiangqian, this is just to reward the commission and suppress the people, so subdivided, naturally it is impossible to form a separation.

He smiled and said, "It's dark here. ”

Zheng Xiaqi said: "But isn't it, my lord, it's okay usually, to us and other Han merchants, I also know that we can't kill chickens and take eggs, just collect taxes and collect some benefits, but when it comes to fighting with the Ruan family in the south, I will send donations and grain, not to mention this, I have taken away the strong men, not only the market is depressed, but many times the goods cannot be sold." ”

Mu Rongshan just wanted to blurt out, why don't you go back to the Celestial Empire to do business, but seeing that Zheng Xiaqi is bitter and hateful, but he has not yet become emotional, he immediately understood one thing, it may be dark in Vietnam, but because the place is small, it is difficult for the bureaucrats to cover the sky with one hand, and in terms of the degree of darkness, it may not be brighter and darker than me.

Thinking of this, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.

After all, my Ming Dynasty is the empire the year before last, thousands of miles of territory, the formation of a bureaucratic system is complex and tight, the ghost knows who is a relative in the province or the imperial capital, and it is far away from the imperial capital, the imperial complaint is very expensive, and if you can't keep it anywhere, there will be a special security company, which will arrest you into a black coal kiln, and work in it for the rest of your life, working until death, after all, in the imperial capital, "interception" is a big business, advanced, which means that there are no loopholes, whether it is external or internal.

And although this Vietnam follows the Han system, but how much is still pondering by itself, so there are many omissions, although it is convenient for people to start, but they dare not do too much, you are too much, people pondered it, hung up you, ran to another province to start over, what are you afraid of.

Mu Rongshan comforted: "Don't worry, before I leave, the sign of this embassy will be erected, of course, I don't know who will be sent to this ambassador in this imperial capital, but the most important task of this ambassador is to protect overseas Chinese." ”

Although I also muttered in my heart, how many officials is this person, and also, the Ming Dynasty actually wants to send officials to such a vassal place, I really don't know if I need to feed them, but it's a good thing.

"By the way, if there are any well-known Han merchants in the city, you can all find them, and together they will be totaled, I want to investigate, naturally I have to collect evidence well, well, the best restaurant here is here?"

Although the rustic atmosphere makes the three girls who are used to seeing prosperity a little picky, but in Mu Rongshan's opinion, they are full of excitement, whether it is the wooden floor, bamboo tables and chairs, and the chopsticks made of bamboo, although they are not exquisite, they all reveal a primitive taste.

Thinking of this, he was excited, in the old time and space, he felt very disgusted with all kinds of false and fraudulent things in the old time and space, this mainly came from a failed dating experience, nothing more than a deception of beauty, and he could also see it when he met, but once he saw the woman who came out of the bathroom, he cried bitterly, and the so-called what he had made, even if he was in tears, he had to finish it.

It's still a new time and space, the air is good, the water is good, and the people are all natural, and it is impossible for a large group of women who may fall off their noses when they sneez.

Although a minute is inseparable from modern living facilities, (Mu Rongshan only plans to live on a yacht) but Mu Rongshan's yearning for ancient life is incomprehensible to others, although it is possible, the harder he works, the more the elders will destroy everything in this world little by little, but for him, there is still a great chance to preserve these beautiful things according to his own will.

Zheng Xiaqi thought that he had grasped the vein, and said: "Then the Vietnamese officials in Hongji Port, do you want to invite them to meet?" ”

"It's gone, there's nothing to see, you just find someone who is familiar with the situation in Vietnam, help me understand the situation in Vietnam, by the way, if there are people who know about Nanqi, they will also find it, so I don't have to find someone."

Zheng Xiaqi nodded again and again and said, "Okay, let's go, villain." ”

Mu Rongshan said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's almost the New Year, they are all uprooted, I'm afraid they all want to have a good New Year, first notify them in advance, tell them, a little talk is, you tell me now, how far the Zheng and Ruan clans have fought." ”

Zheng Xiaqi was stunned and said, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

Mu Rongshan naturally couldn't say that he was trying to choose a side and swallow both sides in the end, but he still said: "How many years has this Zheng family been fighting, and there is no result." ”

From the standpoint of the Chinese, it is difficult to understand the weakness of this military literacy, you know, Liu Yongfu in later generations, is also a generation of heroes, alive by these Vietnamese allies to death, historically, in China's civil war struggle failed, once they enter Southeast Asia, they will change the previous bullied fish belly bear look, like a tiger to occupy the mountain as the king, in fact, Southeast Asia has such Chinese descendants.

Just like those princes in Japan, it is likely that after the Xuanwu Daimyo declared war on the Haidian Daimyo, everyone fought to the death for countless years, and finally died in a zero.

Since breaking away from Chinese rule more than 200 years ago, Vietnam has actually been in turmoil, and no one knows who is righteous until now, but the Zheng family in the north, because it is backed by China, can have more population and money and food, so it is the attacker, and it is a continuous attack for decades.

And the Nguyen clan in the south sacrificed their magic weapon, arrow tower flow, built countless bunker defenses, obscene battles, due to the terrain of Vietnam, there are not many plains, the two sides fought to the death, and it was always difficult to make a breakthrough.

During this period, the Nguyen clan in the south encroached on the south and annexed the original vassal state of China to occupy the city, which was still in the period of internal strife in the Qing Dynasty, and was naturally governed by time, so the city was also annexed by Vietnam, and the territory of the future was formed.

Therefore, now, the Vietnam that Mu Rongshan is facing is only two-thirds of Vietnam in history, and it has been weakened.

In terms of absolute strength, the two sides are about the same, the Zheng clan in the north can be much richer because of its proximity to Guangxi, while the Ruan clan hugged the thigh of the Portuguese in the west, and received a lot of technical support and the help of the shirtless Portuguese army to fight against the Zheng clan.

Zheng did the same, looking for the Dutch to make artillery and warships, and even bribing them to help fight the war.
