Three days later, the wharf of the port of Tianjin is here.

On the deck of a merchant ship that was about to go to the Japanese Kingdom, Gann and Zhang Wenjing looked at the extremely busy Tianjin port in front of them, and overlooked the Tianjin New Town not far away.

Looking at all this in front of them, the two of them wanted to cry without tears, there was a lot of reluctance and helplessness in their eyes, they were about to leave Daming forever, and I am afraid that they would never have a chance to come back in this life.

"Hmm~Hmm~"

By the side of the two, the wives and children of the two were also crying and crying, and they were originally living well here in the capital, but now, they are going to move their families to the Japanese country, and from then on, they are wandering away from home, and they can no longer enjoy the prosperity and wealth of the Beijing-Tianjin area.

The Wa Kingdom is too far away for them.

For the distant country that only existed in books and newspapers, they knew very little and knew very little, but they only knew where the wild land was, far from being comparable to the land of the Central Plains.

What's more, they went to the Wa Kingdom, they didn't have any power, they were not familiar with the place, and they could never return to the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, the heart was desolate.

"Brother Jiang, if you and I go, I'm afraid we will never be able to come back in this life."

Zhang Wenjing looked at the lively wharf, there were many people on the wharf who came to see off their relatives and friends, but the two of them, no one came to see them off.

In the past, the so-called old friends, the so-called classmates, teachers, students, etc., none of them came to see them off, looking at the dock, other people and their relatives and friends said goodbye to each other, this heart was desolate.

"I regret that I shouldn't have been in the beginning~"

"You and I are still too young, we are being used as guns, and if we can't come back, forget it, and it will affect our children and grandchildren."

A wry smile appeared on Gann's face, and at this moment, he could be considered sober.

Why is his head so confused, how can he stupidly hit Emperor Hongzhi's knife.

You can be impeached at any time, but you have to bump into Emperor Hongzhi when he is in a good mood, and when he wants to crash into the great victory of the Japanese country, this is looking for his own death and complaining about others.

"Yes, we are still too young, and we said that we would impeach and write together, but it turned out that there were only you and me, as well as Brother Li and Brother Wang."

Zhang Wenjing nodded and said, I had to sigh, this officialdom is like a battlefield, and I don't know how to die if I am not careful.

"Haha, it's okay, no official is light~"

"In the past, I also thought that when I was old in the future, I could teach and educate people, but now I have realized this wish in advance."

Gann smiled, with helplessness and loss in his laughter.

They are all still very young, only in their forties, in the prime of life, this is not easy to mix with the imperial history, Hanlin, the future is immeasurable, and now, all of a sudden, like a dream, everything has disappeared.

"Thirty years of fame, dust and earth~"

"Once the eastward crossed to educate the barbarians~"

"Even if I bury my proud bones in another country~"

"He will also return to Daming in the future~"

Zhang Wenjing thought about it and couldn't help but shout loudly, did he really not want to go to any Japanese country to educate any Japanese people, and it was uncomfortable to live a small life here in Daming?

But they had to go even if they didn't want to.

"Bell~Bell~"

The bell on the ship kept ringing, it was the bell that set sail.

"Departure~Departure~"

Soon, the crew began to raise the sails and shouted excitedly.

For them, they can earn dozens of taels of silver by going to the country of Wa, and they can easily make a fortune by going on a few trips a year, so whenever they set off, they are in a very good mood.

"Hmm~Hmm~"

Hearing the sound of departure, Zhang Wenjing and Gann's wives and children cried even more, especially the female relatives in the family, who cried very sadly.

"Don't cry~"

When Gann heard the cry, the whole person looked extremely irritable, and scolded loudly.

"Crying, crying, what is it like, go to the cabin~"

Zhang Wenjing also reprimanded his family, and then said to Jiang En: "Brother Jiang, go, let's drink~"

"Go, go, drink and go~"

Gann nodded, the two of them were lost in life at this moment, and their ambitions were unpaid, so they could only use wine to drown their sorrows.

Soon, the big ship slowly left the port and sailed slowly towards the junction of water and sky, and the port of Tianjin gradually became smaller in their field of vision, gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared in their field of vision.

……

On the other side, in the vast expanse of the South Seas, a huge fleet of ships is sailing on the sea.

On the leading 'Taishan', the Taiping Marquis Du Mingen was using a telescope to look south for land and islands, and according to the itinerary, they were almost arriving in Luzon.

From Ryukyu Castle, take the Ryukyu Strait and then the Bass Strait south to reach the northernmost island in Luzon.

The Strait of Carriages, which separates the southernmost tip of Ryukyu Island from the northernmost tip of Luzon, is only less than 400 miles at its narrowest point.

In this era, the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty went to the South Seas, and many times they would take this route, because this route was very close, and proximity meant that it was safer and could carry more goods at the same time.

If you take another route, because of the long distance, you have to carry more survival materials on the ship, and the cargo you carry is much less.

Of course, there is also an extremely dangerous place in this route, that is, typhoons, compared to other routes, this route has the highest probability of encountering typhoons.

However, it is only now just entering the summer, the probability of a typhoon is very small, and the huge fleet led by Du Mingen has also reached the north of Luzon very smoothly.

"Bell~Bell~"

"Found the land~Found the land~"

The lookout on the mast of the Tarzan rang the bell, and at the same time shouted loudly below.

"Haha, I've finally arrived in Luzon~"

"It's pretty fast, coming out of Ryukyu City, it's only half a month, we arrived in Luzon, we must take a good shower when we go back, the weather is really getting hotter and hotter."

"Of course it's getting hotter and hotter, but it's already tropical, and now it's summer again, so it's no wonder it's not hot."

After hearing the sound, the crew's mood improved, and they all began to look forward to the scenery of the Nanyang region.

"Luzon has arrived~"

"The First Battle of the South Seas~"

Du Mingen soon saw the outline of the land in the telescope, and as the ship got closer, the outline of the land became larger and clearer, and he could see that the rocks on the island were tall and handsome, shaped like wooden pestles, and this place was obviously not suitable for mooring ships.

"Luzon, in the southeast sea, is also a small country, rich in gold~"

Next to Du Mingen, Lin Shuhong smiled and read out the description of Luzon seen in a book.

"Abundant in gold?"

"Do you think there is more gold in Luzon than in the Golden Continent?"

When Du Mingen heard this, he smiled and asked.

"There is definitely no way to compare with the Golden Continent, where is the Golden Continent really full of gold, although this Luzon is rich in gold, but I think it should not be a Golden Continent."

"However, this Luzon is so close to my Ming Dynasty, if it is really rich in gold, I am afraid that this place will become a paradise for countless adventurers in the future."

Lin Shuhong thought about it and said.

"I heard from me that although there is gold in this Luzon, the most precious thing is not the gold, but the land here, which belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, which is hot and humid all year round, which is very suitable for growing rice, vegetables, fruits and spices."

"The land here is very fertile, as long as it is reclaimed, it can be harvested three times a year, and if the model of Ryukyu City can be developed here in Luzon, I will not be able to eat all the grain produced in Luzon in the future."

"There are also a variety of precious crops that can be grown here, such as sisal in the Nanyang area, and the ropes made of sisal are very strong and durable, and they are absolutely very popular when used to make fishing nets and cables."

"There are also some spices here in the South Seas, if they can be shipped to Europe, the price is better than gold."

"It's fair to say that there's treasure everywhere here, and gold isn't anything at all."

Lin Shuhong remembered some things that Liu Jin explained before leaving, and pointed to the island in the distance and said.

"Develop the Ryukyu Castle model here?"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately groaned slightly, thought for a while and said, "This Luzon is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, isn't that good?" ”

"What's the bad thing, most of this Luzon is uninhabited at all, the natives here are a kind of dwarf blacks, and as for Luzon, who pays tribute to us, they actually migrated from Annam, Siam, and Sulu."

"What a good place, if we don't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing?"

Lin Shuhong smiled and said.

"That's just as well."

Du Mingen smiled and nodded, after going to the Golden Continent, it can be regarded as an eye-opener, although Daming is good, but there are many very good places in other places besides Daming.

Just like the Golden Continent, the land is also very fertile, and there is gold everywhere, but the descendants of the Yin Shang of the Golden Continent are very backward, and they are still in the tribal stage.

If the Ming Dynasty can occupy the Golden Continent and develop the Golden Continent, how many people can this huge Golden Continent feed?

Just thinking about it, I feel that these are all gifts from God to the Ming Dynasty, gifts to the descendants of Yan and Huang, if you don't fight for it, don't develop and utilize it, it will really be a tyrannical thing.

"The model of Ryukyu Castle is very good, build a city, use the city as a base, gradually spread, slowly expand, and finally turn a barren land into a paradise."

"Of course, the most important thing is that this Ryukyu City model is also very profitable, I heard that last year alone in Ryukyu City here made tens of millions of silver."

"Your mentor Liu Jin is worthy of being a son of a master!"

Du Mingen thought about it and couldn't help but sigh, as if he saw cities rising here in Luzon in his mind.
