    Before the spoils seized in Malacca were sold out, the clansmen sent by Shi Cunzhang for help had already arrived by sea boat.

    Guang Kuanghong took out the nautical chart and asked, "Where are you from?"

    The name of the visitor was Shi Cunwen. He pointed to the chart and said, "Here. This is the territory of the Aceh Kingdom, and tens of miles to the east is the territory of the Wandan Kingdom. This city, originally named Jiugang, was renamed by the Fanbang barbarians.  Palembang. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people founded the country here. The ancestors of the Liang family were kings.

    The ancestor of my Shi family was the deputy king.  "

    "In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of various families sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute.  In the fifth year of Yongle, the ancestor of my Shi family was appointed as the consolation envoy of the old port of Ming Dynasty by Emperor Yongle.  The land of the old port has since become the land of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is naturally the land of the Datong.  We can take the Old Port City by ourselves, but the Sultan of Aceh must send troops to attack.  Please, Lord Angel, send troops to help us defend the city!  "

    Kuang Hong was very surprised when he heard this: "Da Ming actually has overseas territory? Do you have a certificate?"

    Shi Cunwen took out a piece of paper, on which was stamped the seal pattern of "Daming Old Port Propaganda and Consolation Envoy".

    Kuang Hong carefully identified it, then handed it to Hong Xu and said, "Has General Hong heard of this?"

    Hong Xu shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

    Shi Cunwen explained: "During the five years of Ming Dynasty's orthodox rule, the Ming fleet no longer went to sea, and the Manchu Boyi Kingdom became greedy and sent a large army to besiege the old port city. My Han family, Erlang, had few people and was weak. After a hard fight, we lost troops and lost generals.  We can only negotiate a reconciliation. Manjaboyi was also afraid of too many casualties, so he agreed to peace talks. The Han people handed over the city and moved to the present Xingang. The ancestors of my Shi family were named the chief of Xingang.

    "Later, Danmu Kingdom rose and destroyed Majapahit. Danmu was divided into Wandan Kingdom and Matalan Kingdom due to civil strife. Aceh took the opportunity to seize the old port city. I, Han Jiaerlang, have been dormant for more than a hundred years and worked hard to support it.  I dare not make too high a profile, so all parties don¡¯t know much about the Old Port Consolation Envoy"

    "Wait!" Kuang Hong interrupted suddenly, went back to his cabin, and took out a copy of "Yingya Shenglan".

    "Yingya Shenglan" was written in the second year of Jingtai, and it is almost impossible for the people to find it. The Datong court only discovered it when it moved to the library in Beijing of the Ming Dynasty.

    The author of this book is Ma Huan, a native of Shaoxing, Hui nationality, proficient in Persian and Arabic, and a translator for Zheng He.  In his book "Ying Ya Sheng Lan", he sorted out and recorded the situation of more than 20 countries that Zheng He passed through during his voyages to the Western Ocean, including sea routes, tides, geography, kings, politics, customs, humanities, language, climate,  Currency, wild animals and more.

    Kuang Hong served as an envoy this time and carefully read "Yingya Shenglan".

    He quickly searched for a while, and finally found the relevant content: (Old Port Xuanwei Division) is connected to Java in the east, the border of Manchuria in the west, mountains in the south, and the sea in the north.  The land is densely populated and the fields are fertile.  The climate is warm, with frequent rain in spring and summer.  The soil is fertile and suitable for crops.  Language cloud: one year to plant grain, three years to produce gold.  It is said that the harvest is prosperous and the trade gold is abundant.

    "It's a good place to plant grain for one year and produce gold for three years," Kuang Hong said with emotion, "Unexpectedly, after more than two hundred years, you are still living in Jiugang

    I thought there were no Han people there.  "

    Shi Cunwen said: "There are Han Chinese, and there are many of them. They can speak Chinese, at least 100,000 to 200,000! The soil there is fertile, the grain harvest is very large, and all the land has been reclaimed as fertile land. It is all thanks to my Han people's three hundred years of reclamation. And the sea route is blocked.  The throat was once the supply ground for the Sanbao eunuch."

    "The supply place for the Sanbao eunuch?" Kuang Hong's eyes lit up.

    Shi Cunwen pointed to the nautical chart and said: "Sanbao eunuch's fleet, after crossing Jiaozhi, if the wind is smooth, it can reach the old port in five days. If you go west from the old port, you can go to the western countries through Malacca. If you go east from the old port, you can go  Java Island, return to Fujian from Luzon!"

    Kuang Hong and Hong Xu looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise on each other's faces.

    With the old port (Palembang),

    What more Temasek (Singapore)?

    After all, Singapore at this time does not shit, there are only a few indigenous people on the island, and not much food can be grown.  Moreover, after occupying Malacca, Singapore's geographical advantages were also repeated.

    As for Palembang, the land is fertile, densely populated, and abundant in food, and it can also radiate Aceh, Banten, and Batavia.  What's even more commendable is that there are Han people everywhere here, so there is no need to spend any more energy on development.  A natural overseas base, taking this place and combining it with Malacca will overwhelm the Dutch, and all the countries in Southeast Asia are under the control of the Datong Navy!

    Don't want Singapore, but Palembang!

    Guang Kuang Hong's mind turned, and he already had an idea.

    After he returns to Beijing, he will ask the emperor to restore the "Old Port Propaganda Department", and the old port will be handed over to the Han gentry there for management.  And Xingang is the real seaport, where the Datong Navy builds a base,?Even if the prestige is greatly lost, it is the loss of the sultan's prestige.  He is a prophet, he is a powerful minister, as long as he can stabilize his own interests,

    The big deal is to change to a Sudan.

    The Aceh Kingdom expanded too much before, its territory doubled several times, and there were many internal conflicts.  The former Sudan was able to suppress and transfer conflicts by relying on foreign wars, but now it has become chaotic. Once there is a big defeat, the entire country may be torn apart.

    Stability is the top priority in everything, and everything is to avoid division. Giving up the wealthy Palembang is also acceptable.

    As long as it becomes a vassal state of China, the external pressure will disappear, and Uma's position as a powerful minister will be stabilized.  Even, as long as it can be exchanged for China's care, internal and external stability, and the sending of all the eastern territories of Aceh, Uma thinks it can be considered.
