Li Yuanqing's Pan-Pacific Trading Company was established and gradually began operations, attracting widespread attention in an instant.

The Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese, including a small branch of the British Empire in Brunei with only two people, also showed strong concern about this.

Even Varun da Gama in Manila, upon learning that Li Yuanqing wanted to lease land in Brunei, directly sent a special envoy to Brunei to pay close attention to the development of the situation.

In the Chinese world, this is like setting off a storm!

In later generations, the Chinese have always been called the "Jews" of the East.

They are hard-working, simple and brave, and they can create anything with their hands.

And it is precisely because of this inheritance that the Chinese in Southeast Asia are generally in the middle of society.

No matter how poor the Chinese are, because they are hard-working, brave, and no matter how poor they are, they can still find work. They are at least a few grades higher than the local aborigines who only know how to eat and wait to die.

Those Chinese who are more far-sighted have basically reached the top of the wealth pyramid, and some have even begun to integrate into the local mainstream society through a series of methods such as in-laws.

However, due to various reasons, they have never been able to stand in the mainstream of society, especially in politics. Let alone make a voice, they cannot even have their basic rights and interests protected.

But at this time, the establishment of Ming Liaonan Pan-Pacific Trading Company was like a spring breeze blowing across the earth. Green seedlings have begun to grow. Is it still far away from the towering trees?

Don’t you, the Dutch and the British, have the East India Company? We, the Ming Dynasty, now also have the Pan-Pacific Trading Company!

Especially~, Li Yuanqing actually married Liu Qinghan, a girl from Guangdong who was rescued from an indigenous tribe of man-eating sharks, which made Li Yuanqing's reputation soaring in the Chinese circle, and his reputation as a righteous man is probably about to spread throughout Southeast Asia.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that the news would spread so quickly!

In this era, the communication conditions are so underdeveloped, but many Chinese businessmen have come to Manila and Malacca, just like Muslims worshiping, they all want to see Li Yuanqing.

Even, through their news, Chinese representatives from Jakarta, including southern Philippines, southern Indonesia, eastern Indonesia, and some remote areas, were rushing to Brunei just to catch up with the opening ceremony of Pan Pacific Trading Company.

Li Yuanqing originally set the opening ceremony of Pan Pacific Company on August 18th, the sixth year of Tianqi, but as a result, he could only push the time back one month to September 18th.

September 18th.

In the history of the Chinese people, especially in later generations, it has extremely unusual significance.

Li Yuanqing also hopes that through this day, the founding date of Pan Pacific Trading Company will be firmly engraved on the timeline of the Chinese nation!

…………

The time has come to August 15th.

According to Li Yuanqing's original plan, after presiding over the opening ceremony of Pan Pacific Trading Company on August 18, he would return to Liaodi and leave the affairs here to Guan Canghai and Yang Xiaochuan.

After all, Liaonan is the root and Nanyang is the leaves. Only when the roots are stable can the branches and leaves grow more vigorously.

With the 'base' here in Brunei, half of the remaining official cargo can be handled by Guancanghai and Yang Xiaochuan. In addition, Li Yuanqing's cash reserves at this time are close to three million taels.

With such a scale, he doesn't even need to purchase any more goods from Nanyang and can go directly back to Changsheng Island.

But because the Chinese people were so enthusiastic, Li Yuanqing had no choice but to postpone the time for another month.

Especially the Chinese people in Brunei are gathering more and more. Almost every day, starting from the morning, Li Yuanqing will spend time in the "wine pool and meat forest". The banquet is one table after another, as if there is no rest.

Fortunately, today is August 15th. These Chinese businessmen finally showed mercy and gave Li Yuanqing a half-day holiday. Finally, he no longer had to work at banquets.

This also allows the daily routine military meeting to be moved forward slightly, and finally a meeting can be held in the afternoon.

This is also a system that Li Yuanqing has strictly required since the establishment of Pan Pacific Trading Company!

Every day, no matter how tired or late they are, all senior generals will summarize their affairs for the day to Li Yuanqing.

The establishment of the Pan Pacific Trading Company is indeed very big when it comes to big things, but it is actually very small when it comes to small things. It is just the construction of docks, warehouses, venues, and a series of entertainment and other complicated matters. There are local Chinese businessmen in Brunei.

With their help, there is almost no need to waste much effort.

But Li Yuanqing understood deeply that his generals might be good at fighting, but in these aspects, they were far from the best.

At this time, these chores are a very rare growth opportunity for them that they can experience firsthand.

Including him, Li Yuanqing, it was a very good exercise.

As the sages said: "Everything will be successful if it is predicted, and it will be ruined if it is not predicted!"

To take this step, we must not only consider this step, but also consider three, even four, or five steps, and be prepared for danger in times of peace, so that Pan Pacific Trading Company can gain a foothold in Nanyang as soon as possible and do its best to

Develop and grow.

Today is August 15th. After briefly summarizing some of everyone's tasks, Li Yuanqing also dismissed the meeting early so that his generals could rest for an afternoon.

However, Guan Canghai obviously did not intend to let Li Yuanqing go.

As soon as Li Yuanqing was about to leave the door of the conference room, this man followed him with a smile and said with a smile: "General, I still have a few things to do in my humble post, I need to report to the general."

Li Yuanqing was speechless, but with Guan Canghai 'blocked', he had no choice but to go back to the conference room, throw a cigar to Guan Canghai, and the two started puffing away.

Guan Canghai smiled and said: "There are two main problems now. I have been hesitating in my heart."

Li Yuanqing nodded and signaled Guan Canghai to continue.

Guan Canghai smiled and said: "General, the first question is the issue of garrisoning troops. How should we deploy our troops? Should we build defensive fort facilities."

Guan Canghai said, looking into Li Yuanqing's eyes.

Li Yuanqing slowly let out a breath: "Defense facilities must be built! This will be our foothold! No one, no one, can infringe on our interests at will! Regarding the issue of garrisoning troops, we must first follow the original plan.

Implement, lock in all key points, and maintain the safety of the dock. As for the specific transfer and allocation, we will discuss it in detail after Yang Xiaochuan comes over. "

This time, Li Yuanqing brought a total of seven to eight thousand troops to the sea. He went to Yang Xiaochuan in Malacca and diverted three thousand troops.

During these days, Li Yuanqing has been planning the specific distribution of troops.

If possible, Li Yuanqing naturally wanted to keep all 8,000 soldiers. This would give Pan Pacific Company sufficient confidence in Nanyang.

But this is something difficult to achieve.

On the one hand, this can easily arouse vigilance and even protest from surrounding Western powers.

In this situation, to be honest, Li Yuanqing could fight them on land, but at sea, the certainty was still too vague.

On the other hand, these 8,000 soldiers are all veterans of the Changsheng Battalion. If they are left here, let alone material supplies, this will directly drain the large skeleton of the Changsheng Battalion and seriously affect the battle of the Changsheng Battalion.

Especially when the talented and powerful Huang Taiji was about to "reach the top", this was difficult for Li Yuanqing to achieve.

Guan Canghai nodded heavily. He had already understood the matter clearly. He naturally knew that Li Yuanqing would support him, but it was impossible to give him such strong support. After all, Liaonan was the root of everyone.

"General, there is one more thing, which is the specific structure..."

…………

After finally ‘dismissing’ Guan Canghai, it was already dark.

Li Yuanqing was about to go back to his boat to finish dinner with his wife and children, but Zhang Chunxue came over with Liu Qinghan.

"For humble posts, see General."

"Your servant joins the general."

The two women bowed respectfully to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "No need."

As he said that, he looked at Liu Qinghan, whose face was a little sallow, and said with a smile: "How are you recovering these days?"

After two or three days of rest after returning from Dubell Island, Liu Qinghan and other Chinese female relatives captured on Dubell Island took abortion pills together.

China has always had prescriptions in this regard, but to be on the safe side, Li Yuanqing chose ‘Western medicine’ with clearer ingredients.

There are many foreign doctors in Brunei, although most of them are "showy", but under the guidance of Ben Coster, Li Yuanqing found a military doctor who retired from the British Imperial Navy. His father had served the British royal family. In this regard,

, has profound attainments.

But even so, because some of the female family members had extremely large bellies and did not have the advanced means of "inducing labor" in later generations, they did not survive this test in the end.

Fortunately, Liu Qinghan was still young and had not been pregnant for a long time. Perhaps she had experienced too many hardships, but she was very strong-willed and managed to survive.

"Thank you, General, for thinking about me. My maid, my maid has been much better these days." Liu Qinghan glanced at Li Yuanqing and lowered her head hurriedly and humbly.

Li Yuanqing nodded, but also sighed in his heart.

Liu Qinghan is actually very beautiful. Judging from her words and actions, she must come from a wealthy family. It's a pity...

Although Li Yuanqing wanted to marry her as a concubine, but~, how could it be possible to give her the treatment of a concubine, and it was okay to use her once or twice occasionally...

Zhang Chunxue was already very familiar with Liu Qinghan at this time, and whispered: "General, I despise my post, I despise my post to make you a cup of tea."

Why was Li Yuanqing confused at this time? Liu Qinghan had something to say to him.

Li Yuanqing took her little hand and shook it. He obviously felt her body trembling. Li Yuanqing forced himself to smile more gently and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. Sit down."

"Thank you, General. But how can there be room for a maid to sit in front of the General?"

As she spoke, she carefully came to Li Yuanqing and gently patted Li Yuanqing's back.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Is there something you want to tell me? Don't be nervous, relax. Everything is over."

Liu Qinghan suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing, tears dripping down uncontrollably: "General, maid, I beg the general to take back my life. Maid, I am not worthy of the general! I will do everything for the general."

I can't do it, but I still want to enjoy the general's preferential treatment! I beg the general to take back my order. I want to join the female guard, just like Haruyuki sister, and serve the general."
