The expeditionary force boarded the ship and set off.

In addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers from the capital, there are nearly 8,000 others who are talented in various fields.

Physician.

It's extremely cold in the north, and it's extremely normal to have a cold or a fever. There may be more troublesome things, so a doctor is naturally indispensable.

Including medicinal materials for reducing fever, dispelling cold, and antifreeze, etc., you must also bring them with you.

artisan.

Some are firearms craftsmen, and there are also some in other fields.

Firearms will inevitably need to be repaired at some point. The main thing to carry is the blunderbuss. Cannons are obviously too heavy and are not suitable.

There are some indigenous people living in the entire northern border, but their numbers are pitifully small. Let alone firecrackers, the soldiers can easily defeat them with a cold weapon charge.

Fireguns are mainly used to prevent wild beasts, and after arriving in North America, they can effectively kill enemies in the event of conflicts with local indigenous people.

There are other special talents.

For example, those in the Qintian Prison know Feng Shui and Kanyu, those in the Jinyi Guard are more talented in languages, and there are also those in charge of recording, drawing maps, etc.

All in all, this configuration is very complete.

Here the head yellow shows great strength.

Xu Huizu went to Tubo to fight a tug-of-war. It was too far away from the capital, and the delay in military reports was too high. Moreover, in Xu Huizu's situation, if he wanted to win steadily, it would be difficult to make any major changes in a short period of time.

Zhu Ying turned his attention to Nanyang again.

Public opinion is really a good thing. The emergence of Di Bao, especially after it spread on a large scale throughout the Ming Dynasty, made it easier for the court to control people's hearts.

It's still the same routine, just like recruiting soldiers.

Zhu Ying's order arrived at the Di Bao Department and asked them to publicize the benefits of going to Nanyang.

For example, in Nanyang, money can be picked up everywhere, opportunities to make a fortune are everywhere, and the scenery is very beautiful.

A certain family made a lot of money from a trip to Nanyang.

How much does a certain worker earn from working in Nanyang for a month?

"Well, why do I suddenly feel like I've deceived people into northern Burma?"

Zhu Ying thought with some confusion.

Of course, this is all for better immigration.

Today's Nanyang is in a different situation from that of later generations.

The first is the deterrent power of the Ming Dynasty there, with the navy stationed near the sea and the vassal king Wu Wang sitting in charge.

As long as you have a household registration in the Ming Dynasty, you will be considered superior there.

If there was a lawsuit, the local government would normally favor the Ming people. They were just vassals and did not want to cause disputes.

Now the coastal waters of Annan, Champa, and Chenla are all under the jurisdiction of the Ming Navy.

How could the miscellaneous soldiers in Malacca be compared with the Ming Dynasty's regular army? It was like a handover. When the Ming Dynasty navy arrived in Malacca, the local indigenous people knowingly gave way.

However, after receiving the latest information, Zhu Ying was a little speechless.

Because of Ming Dynasty's propaganda, many people went to occupy the city.

Due to the deterrence of the Ming Dynasty navy, it was difficult for the Champa government to do anything, so that it was unable to manage the city.

Song Zhong and Zhu Yunwen joined forces to set up a Chinese school and dealt a severe blow to the Champa nobles.

Especially some big nobles are the primary targets.

Although Zhanwangcha was not a puppet, most of the political power was in the hands of the nobles. After these nobles were eliminated, Zhanwangcha also wanted to take back his power, but Song Zhong and Zhu Yunwen naturally refused.

They simply supported some small nobles to carry out the division.

Therefore, the current Champa can only be described with a random word.

Nowadays, the city is occupied by gangs and underworlds.

Initially it was Caobang.

Those who could not survive in the Ming Dynasty began to move on a large scale after tasting the benefits of Champa.

Zhu Ying cracked down on the gangs within the Ming Dynasty very hard, especially after the establishment of the Public Security Department throughout the Ming Dynasty, many gangs had no room for survival.

Caobang is one of them.

Because maritime trade was profitable, the Cao Gang who were originally engaged in inland water transport also pooled some money to buy ships. Most of the backbones followed the transportation and brought them to Champa to sell them, and soon earned their first pot of gold.

In Champa, the leader of the Cao Gang was surprised to find that the government here was actually very weak, and in many cases, everything was done based on money.

Whoever gives more money will get more conveniences.

The leader of the Cao Gang suddenly realized that this situation was not a blessing for the gang.

After returning to Daming, he immediately decided to go to Champa with a large number of gang members.

If you don't want to go along, you can withdraw from the association by paying some settlement fees.

In less than two months, Caobang quickly took root in Champa and began to gradually expand.

The size of his gang expanded rapidly and was actually more powerful than it was at the peak of the Ming Dynasty.

This is incredible.

The Ming Dynasty did not bother to deal with the collusion between the Cao Gang and certain officials of the local government.

As a result, Caobang was able to quickly establish his own personal relationships.

Even the navy stationed there had contacts with King Wu.

It didn't take long for the news about the Cao Gang to reach the gangs in Daming.

Their life in Ming Dynasty was really difficult.

Except for some with real backgrounds, most gangs have found it difficult to develop under the crackdown of the Department of Public Security, and the brothers in the gangs can hardly afford to eat.

As for the Caobang's trip to Nanyang, news spread quickly in the world.

Some people began to laugh at how there was any profit in such a barbarian land.

However, the slap in the face came so quickly that there was no time to react.

When the news came back to the Ming Dynasty, the Cao Gang had grown to a size of 3,000 people in Nanyang, including a large number of barbarians, and they even had their own territory.

"Can his Cao Gang afford to support three thousand people?"

Three thousand people is a large gang. Before the gangs in the Ming Dynasty were cracked down, the average large gang only had four to five thousand people.

Now within the Ming Dynasty, there are two or three people, all of whom are already very good.

I heard that the Cao Gang was doing well in Champa, and the gangs in the Ming Dynasty naturally did not want to let go of this fragrant steamed bun.

They all began to raise money to buy boats and find connections to go to sea.

The purpose is to go to Champa.

In great numbers, dozens of gangs came to Champa one after another.

Nowadays, Champa can be said to be a world dominated by gangs.

After Song Zhong completed the affairs of the Han School, he returned to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, the current situation in Champa is like a turbulent time. These gangs will do anything to seize territory, including poisoning, sneak attacks, and assassinations. They use all kinds of methods."

"When we got to the back, we went crazy and started fighting on the dock along the coast, completely ignoring the surrounding situation."

"Fortunately, the navy sent troops to suppress it, otherwise the entire dock would be in chaos, and many foreign businessmen would be affected."

"The stationed navy commander Jin Kaishan called all the gang leaders together, re-established the rules, and ordered them not to hurt innocent people, not to poison, and not to use firecrackers on a large scale."

"These lunatics had their cannons out at that time. I don't know where they got so many matchlocks. I also saw that they were not produced in our Ming Dynasty."

"The Champa government is like a waste. Some yamen have dozens of people. They are not even as good as a gang, and they don't have two guns. I'm really worried that when they go to suppress it, they will be killed by the gang above."

"Most of the top leaders of these gangs are from the Ming Dynasty. King Zhan did not dare to send out troops for fear of causing disputes with our Ming Dynasty."

"His Royal Highness King Wu collected a lot of money from gangs to help suppress the Champa government. However, Commander Jin set the rules. When these gangs took action, they restrained themselves a lot. At least they would no longer affect merchants and residents."

"However, when a restaurant is opened on the territory of these gangs, the owner of the shop has to hand over members' money to ensure safety. The gangs then start to grab the territory everywhere, and there are some internal rules for fighting."

Listening to Song Zhong's narration, Zhu Ying had a sense of déjà vu as the Young and Dangerous Boys of Hong Kong in later generations.

However, the current situation of occupying the city is more in line with the interests of Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Zhu Ying wanted to cause chaos in Champa, but from another perspective, these gangs could be regarded as immigrants.

"They fought hard, did they cause serious casualties?" Zhu Ying asked casually.

He was more concerned about the situation of the Ming people there.

Song Zhong replied: "These gangs are also smart. Most of them have bought big ships. While fighting for territory, they also engage in maritime trade."

"The life of the local squatters is very poor, and they are willing to follow it for just a few dollars. The main casualties are those squatters or sailors recruited from other countries."
