After resting (eating and drinking) in Wusong County for a day, Wang Qiang's fleet thirteen ships were loaded with water and food, and then recruited some small officials from the local area and officially set off. Of course, these officials were to be governors in various Southeast Asian territory they received. After all, the emperor gave Gan Ning the authority to "please the King of Wu" arrangement. If there were not enough officials, the fleet would dock in Quanzhou and Lingnan to recruit appointed officials on the spot.

Although the Song Dynasty had many officials and was bloated institution, it was easy to find a group of officials who had nothing to do and were willing to do big things, Wang Qiang still admired these pioneers who were willing to leave their hometowns and traveled to the ocean. Just like those who were willing to work in Africa, they were even more impressed by those strong men who had become chiefs and wives in Africa.

Although there was a golden warship, Wang Qiang had a sense of security after staying on the Jinfan ship for a long time and was unwilling to move.

In short, it is easy to take over Southeast Asia, which is easy to handle. With the already developed overseas trade of the Song Dynasty, it is actually very fast to recover. Then it is too easy to carry out the Northern Expedition while stabilizing the rear.

At this time, Su Su sighed: "Brother Qiang, you are a high-end player in the Age of Discovery. Should you know what good products are available in Southeast Asia?"

Wang Qiang was happy: "Spicy ingredients! Cloves, peppers, cinnamon, nutmeg! The oriental trade in that era was cut off by the Ottoman Turkish Empire. The price of this spice was transported from sea to Europe was comparable to gold and silver. We were going to send it!"

Su Su smiled and said, "Brother Qiang has perfectly integrated into this era."

Brother Qiang was stunned and then smiled and said, "That's right, there is no sense of incongruity. When I first came, I just wanted to complete Qu Yuan's task quickly. As a result, I stayed there for so many days and didn't want to leave. I just thought I had traveled to the Song Dynasty and wanted to do something."

At this moment, Jiang Gan said excitedly: "Lord! Everything you do is learnt from foreign languages, but unfortunately there is no place to use words. Since the lord wants to do a career, why not do a big career? For example, repeat the route of Zheng He's voyage to the West in later generations?"

Brother Qiang said in shock: "Go so far?"

Jiang Gan coughed: "When the place stabilizes, then go?"

Su Su smiled and said, "What Mr. Jiang Gan said makes sense, and Brother Qiang will probably trigger a big task if he walks it again. Then completing the task will have a certain cultural radiation and indirectly affect the direction of future generations."

Wang Qiang said in surprise: "Zheng He's mission to voyage to the West?"

Su Su smiled and said, "Since ancient times!"

Wang Qiang was happy: "If you are poor, you will put aside the dispute, and if you are great, you will have to do it since ancient times! Well, let's first destroy Southeast Asia since ancient times! This is the West, I'll make a decision!"

Su Su smiled and said, "It's really true that Brother Qiang is not a word. In fact, the Southeast Asian trade in the Tang Dynasty was also very developed. Do you know that there is a novel "Mirror Flowers"? It tells the story of an unsatisfactory scholar Tang Ao traveling overseas during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty and encountering various fantasy stories of a country of daughters, villains, and heartless country."

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "I know, I have watched cartoons. I think my great heavenly dynasty is so kind and righteous. Even though I have power, I have never occupied others. Unlike the great powers in the Age of Discovery, they are crazy about enclosing land to establish colonies."

Su Su sneered: "After all, it was just a group of barbarians who had just come out of the dark medieval era. When it comes to occupation, in fact, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. Zheng Chenggong still had a strategic route after retreating to Taiwan, that is, to go south along the Batan Islands to take over the Philippines. Unfortunately, the strategic route was wrong... Otherwise, it would have really been since ancient times."

Wang Qiang remembered something: "I'll be in Taiwan in two days, right? This time we must take a real thing, so that we can save the miscellaneous days of future generations!"
