Chapter 1005: The Restless Great Philippines
When he came up, he was going to arrest someone, showing that he was strong enough, but this sentence also made Haiqing's face unhappy. "Captain Yan, Du Lilong is a friend of General Ben, it's not good to be rude like this in front of my friends."
It is said that Haiqing is also a deputy general, and he can be called in front of Governor Luan Xiaochen. Yan Jiang is just He Guang's personal captain, and he belongs to the generals in General He's mansion, and the status of the two should be very different. But He Guang attaches great importance to this pro-soldier captain and gives him a lot of power, so that when the team faces Haiqing, there is no shortness of breath and the slightest intention of retreating.
"Vice Admiral Hai, this captain is on business. You must stop it, do you want the captain to invite the general to come and talk about it? Yan Jiang knew this kind of identity gap, and knew that it was useless to talk more, so he simply lifted He Guang out, and he believed that the other party would not dare to be unconvinced.
Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned letting He Guang come in person, Haiqing's attitude lowered a lot when he spoke again, "Haha, no, no, is there any misunderstanding in the middle." In this way, Captain Yan invites you to come over, everyone has a glass of wine, if you still can't speak, then let the captain take my guests. ”
You can take people away with a glass of wine, Yan Jiang didn't doubt him, and after agreeing, he strode forward, came to the table, stretched out his hand and poured a glass of wine, raised his glass to Haiqing and said, "Vice General Hai, it's offended like this." ”
After speaking, Yan Jiang poured the liquor into his mouth as soon as he raised his neck, and it was precisely by taking this opportunity that Haiqing suddenly took out the knife that had been prepared at the bottom of the table a long time ago, and stabbed it at Yan Jiang's chest.
Unprepared, Yan Jiang was stabbed through the body with a knife, the wine glass slipped from his hand, he stared at Haiqing with disbelief eyes, and wanted to say something but finally fell to the ground with a thud because of his injuries.
At the same time, more than a dozen of Haiqing's personal soldiers appeared outside the backyard, and they surrounded the six people brought by Yan Jiang, first shot three people with arrows, and then fought each other in short combat, and after paying the price of one death and one injury, all six people died.
"It's all dragged on, and it's easy to deal with." With the overall situation settled, Haiqing waved his hand to his loyal subordinates, and then looked at Du Lilong and sighed bitterly, "This time General Ben has no choice, Lord Du can rest assured." ”
"Haha, don't worry, I've always been very relieved of General Hai. It's just that you're really sure that Yan Jiang is coming, will He Guang not know? Du Lilong asked with some concern.
"Of course not. Based on my understanding of Yan Jiang, if he had consulted General He beforehand, he would not have drunk my wine this time. It's just that this matter can't be hidden for too long, and if I disappear for too long, I may still arouse suspicion here. Shall I immediately pack up my salutes and follow the capital to Siam? Hae-kyung became anxious again.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll find someone to take care of this matter, now what you do is to continue to develop your strength." Du Lilong calmed down a lot, and then threw out a temptation that Haiqing couldn't refuse. "General Hai, haven't you thought about replacing He Guang?"
"You mean to make me the general here?" As he spoke, Haiqing's breathing became a little heavier. A general,
A deputy general seems to be just a word difference, but the real power is indeed very different. If he can become a general, he will not have to ask for instructions on everything, and many things will be much more convenient.
"Yes, if we can drive Luan Xiaochen and them out of Laos Province, and you choose a suitable puppet to become the king of Lancang again, aren't you just saying that there is no one at that time? Now, with the support of our Siamese nation, why should you be afraid of anyone? Du Lilong continued to lobby with a three-inch tongue.
"This..."Haiqing didn't answer immediately, but it could be seen that he was really tempted. Once the matter is done, he will not be a deputy general, but the position of a national teacher, and the affairs of a country will depend on his eyes, what a scenery and glory it is.
......
Bei Ming was busy building a bank and looting money, and Nan Ming was busy fighting and recovering lost territory, and Yang Chendong rarely gained a period of peace. In addition to going to some scientific research units and some factories every day, and listening to the work reports of some departments, most of the time I accompany my wife and Xiao Lele.
After many days of intimate contact, Lele finally opened his mouth to accept Yang Chendong's father, and the relationship between the father and daughter became more and more intimate, even to the point that he couldn't see his father for a while, and Xiao Lele had to go all over the palace to find it.
The good news finally came out after the hard work of the night, and the eldest lady Hu Yan was overjoyed. Following Xiao Lele, the sixth young master is about to have an heir, and as soon as the news came out, there were bursts of cheers in the streets and alleys of the Red Embedded City.
How to say that Lele is also a girl, everything in the future cannot be handed over to a woman to control, plus Hu Yan is a lady, in the eyes of some people, there is a queen-like existence, only the son she gave birth to is the son-in-law, the most orthodox, and the real Yang family.
After a burst of jubilation, Yang seemed to be quiet again at this moment, like a growing tree in the sky, plumping up its wings. At the same time, some other forces are not idle, and beneath the seemingly quiet surface is turbulent waves.
In 1450, the Arab merchant Saeed Abu Bakr established an Islamic regime in the southern Philippines.
The businessman, Abu Bakr, was brilliant and ambitious. Since he was a young man, he has been accustomed to seeing too many people use power to oppress businessmen, and since then, he has thought about building up a force by himself, and he has the final say, so that he can not be oppressed and oppressed by others.
Eventually, he was selected to move to the southern Philippines, where he established his first regime and extended his influence to the southern coasts of Basilan, Palawan, Zamboanga, Borneo, Mindanao, and other places. And just when he wanted to gain a foothold here and continue to expand, Luzon suddenly changed abruptly, and the Five Star Army occupied it, disrupting his plans and deployment.
After all, Abu Bakr was a businessman, and he valued profit above all and knew the importance of opportunity. Even if the Five Star Army has occupied Luzon, it is unlikely that he wants to expel people, and the only thing he can do is to continue to expand his territory.
From February 1456
He successively sent troops to conquer Catandunes in the east, Mindoro in the west, and Rambulon and Ticao in the center, until the end of April, except for Luzon and the nearby island of Poliho, the entire Philippine archipelago was owned by Abu Bakr.
When the Yang occupied Luzon, their main purpose was to secure the southern side of Ryukyu Island and to control the sea area between the two islands. There is no intention of occupying all the islands. That's what made Abu Bakr succeed repeatedly. It wasn't until the other party controlled most of the islands that Li Sheng, as the city lord of Luzon, became anxious, and he felt the threat and danger, so he immediately sent a telegram to the city lord's mansion of Chichicheng City to get instructions for the next step.
During this period, the inflated Abu Bakr was not satisfied with the status quo, he first changed the name of Sulu (a name that appeared in Chinese historical records very early) to Da Fei, and considered himself the king of Da Fei, and then sent Deli Gan to fight Duterte to start the idea of Polilo. This is more of a temptation, wanting to see what kind of reaction and action the five-star army will have if it is all hit at the doorstep.
Poliho is an island in the northeast of the Philippines, with an area of more than 600 square kilometers, mainly rugged hills, and the highest point on the island is 350 meters above sea level. There is no dry season in Polilo, and most of the rainfall is concentrated from November to January.
The island, which is not very large, has not attracted much attention, so it can be kept out of the situation, and there are fewer than 20,000 inhabitants on the island, who mainly rely on sea fishing for their livelihood.
Because of Abu Bakr's greed and selfish desires, the calm zone finally led to war. When General Duterte suddenly landed on the island by boat with 2,000 soldiers, the original life of the people here was shattered, and nearly 20,000 people instantly turned from themselves into slaves.
After Duterte entered the island, he burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, and the women who were a little beautiful were robbed by them to the barracks, not to mention the humiliation, they also asked the aborigines of the island to give them food and drink, and if they were a little unhappy or slow in their movements, they would kill people and punish them, which was extremely cruel.
This naturally aroused the anger of the island's aborigines, and some young men who were proficient in water and boating took the initiative to ask for help, taking advantage of the night to leave the island where they had lived for many years, and rowed to the nearby island of Luzon to ask for help.
The two islands are very close to each other, and there is some occasional interaction. The people on Luzon Island came back and said that although it was occupied by a force called the Five Star Army, the people there lived as before, not only were they not affected by any war, but their lives were very orderly, and I heard that even the quality of life had improved a lot. They can fish, weave and farm and sell grain to the Five Star Army in exchange for remuneration, and the increase in income improves the quality of life and makes everyone's face happy.
Although General Duterte is extremely cruel and does not treat the aborigines as human beings, he is still vigilant. He spotted the boys as soon as they had rowed out, and he sent two hundred soldiers in five Abu Bakr speedboats bought from the West.
Although the speed of this kind of clipper is not as fast as the energy-using fast ship built by the five-star military shipyard, it is still much faster than ordinary ships, and it didn't take long to see the stern of the fleeing ship, and then shouting, bows and arrows began to shoot in all directions.
