The nameless island cheered and thundered, and the morale was bursting!

No matter how knowledgeable people are, they also know that rosewood is valuable, and those who have read the book, they are more aware of the preciousness and value of this rare wood.

But now, a whole island, a whole forest, is full of mature rosewood!

How much is it worth?

The craftsman in charge of repairing the ship in the sailor was himself the best carpenter, and he even trembled when he looked at the red blood tree that was put down by Fang Jun and Xue Rengui, especially the branches that were cut down indiscriminately, and he was even more distressed.

"It's all money! How can you just cut it down and throw it away? Waste good stuff! Hou Ye, the reason why red sandalwood is precious is because it is difficult to grow, it grows slowly, a red sandalwood takes hundreds of years to grow, and there is a saying of 'ten sandalwood and nine emptiness', adult red sandalwood is more and more rare. So don't underestimate the ends of these branches, they are still good things that can be found, and some Buddhist beads and chopsticks can be sold for a big price! ”

The end of the branches that were cut down and discarded in a mess casually made the carpenters feel that Master Hou was definitely a "tyrannical thing", and only the old hat would do this kind of nouveau riche thing!

Fang Jun didn't have the heart to care about this now, so he first ordered to quickly erect a stone monument to occupy the name and righteousness first, and then said to the marching book: "In the logbook, Ben Hou recorded the discovery of this island in detail, stating that this island is a terra nullius, and the officers and soldiers of our naval division are the first troops to set foot on this island, and the monument is erected. Remember, the Borderlands is on a first-come, first-served basis, and from now on, this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty! ”

He remembered the lesson of Diaoyu Island, this island may not always be under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and may one day be robbed by others. However, if the legal formalities are fully prepared, even if other countries rob them, it will be aggression, and there is no way to "fight a lawsuit" and discuss evidence like a little devil!

If you live again, you will still leave such a stupid flaw and leave trouble for future generations, then you will really live in vain......

The clerk was a little short of breath, why did he accidentally expand his territory? Although this island is a little smaller, there are so many rosewood on the island, and it is a proper fortune island, which will definitely be famous all over the world in the future!

"Master Hou, I will write it immediately, but this island has no name, should I take a name, one is easy to write and record, and the tree stele must also have a name, and the other shows sovereignty, and from now on it is our Tang land!" You are the Hou Ye, the supreme commander, and this name can only be taken by you. ”

The reason is really good, but the soldiers around him all look at this unsmiling clerk with disdain.

Look at you as a serious person, it turns out that the ability to shoot horses and whiskers is also so slippery......

For this island name, Fang Jun's name will be in the annals of history with the name of the island, spread forever, as long as this island is mentioned in later generations, they will remember that in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, Huating Hou Fang Jun led the sailors to set foot on this island, and this island was classified as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, what kind of honor is this?

This is much more effective than sending money directly to a beautiful woman!

Naming this kind of thing is a must, but Fang Jun didn't plan to take this honor alone: "Later, let's have a referendum, and the officers above the captain will each choose a name, and all the soldiers will vote for each one, and the one with the most votes will be the name of the island!" ”

All the soldiers were thunderous and excited!

For the vast majority of soldiers, being able to name a pirate, even just participating in it, is definitely an indelible memory and glory in this life!

And Fang Jun's proposal is even more beneficial to enhancing the collective sense of honor of the soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many sailors and soldiers, he would have wanted to engrave everyone's names directly on the stone tablet...

Then, Fang Jun looked at the little Hussein and Ghedir and other Arabs, and threatened with a cold face: "Remember, this place is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and you must be covetous, otherwise you will declare war with the Tang Dynasty!" is still the same sentence, those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Although the Arabs looked at the rosewood on the red island, even if the Hashemite family was rich, they could not ignore such a huge fortune. But compared with the earth-shattering thunder mastered by the Tang Dynasty, they can also distinguish which is more important, after all, no amount of wealth can be exchanged for victory in the war......

Ghedir translated for little Hussein, who did not commit the second illness at this time, and said very happily: "I fully support Fang Jun's decision, recognize that this island is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and am willing to serve as a witness to corroborate it." ”

Fang Jun was very satisfied with the Arabs' knowledge and interest.

Next, the excited sailors and soldiers held a meeting to discuss the naming of the island.

But this is just a process, and most people think that Fang Jun is actually messing around. You're the sir, and it's up to you to decide what your name is?

The final result is naturally based on Fang Jun's proposal - Sandalwood Island.

In fact, Fang Jun wanted to go directly to a "Honolulu" or "All-in-One Island" if he wanted to have a bad taste......

The name was determined, and the sailors divided more than a dozen warships that were damaged to varying degrees in the storm to cut down and transport rosewood, and after returning to Huating Town, they recruited stonemasons to come to Honolulu Island to carve stone tablets.

After resting for a while, the rest of the warships continued to set off on the vast sea and headed for Linyi.

On the warship, the idle and bored craftsman Fang Junming took out a few branches of the red blood tree that had been cut down at will before, polished them into small wooden blocks, and made a pair of mahjong. This kind of "quintessence" had been "invented" by Fang Jun when he was in the Ministry of Rites, and it soon became popular in Guanzhong and was very popular.

Sailing on the sea is very monotonous and depressing, and facing the vast sea all day long is a cruel grinding for the human spirit, and people with fragile nerves may be suffocated and crazy......

Fang Jun pulled both Hussein Jr. and Ghedir to his flagship to teach this "quintessence" of play.

The reason why the "quintessence" can be called the "quintessence of the country" is that it is attractive to all ages, and no one can resist it, especially on the lonely sea. As a result, the sound of mahjong sounded all day long on the flagship of the sailor......

Half a month later, the fleet arrived in the waters east of Danzhou.

Danzhou is the Hainan Island of later generations.

Ten days later, the fleet was far away from the continent to the west of the sea.

*****

At this time, the north of South Vietnam was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Tang Dynasty, and the south was the Linyi State.

The fleet followed the coastline all the way south, during which a dozen local fishermen were caught on the shore to act as guides, and then Fang Jun drew an area on the chart according to his memory and searched carefully.

Finally, after seven or eight days, I found a natural harbor.

That is, the Da Nang ...... of later generations

The fleet sailed into the harbor, rested for a while, and then split in two. Some of them remained here to build some improvised facilities for the fleet to repair and replenish, while others were led by Tian Yunlai and two naval officers and continued south from Malacca into the Indian Ocean and all the way to Medina, Arabia......

"Don't worry, no matter what the Arabs urge, remember that your mission this time is not primarily to trade, but to train a fleet that is ready for ocean voyages. Walk slowly, learn while walking, ask the Arabs for more advice, talk about the advanced technology of the ship, they are not as good as us, but when it comes to the experience of ocean voyages, we are not as good as them, don't lose face, you must humbly ask for advice, and learn that the body is the art! ”

Before leaving, Tian Yunlai listened to Fang Jun's tireless advice and teachings, and his heart was moved.

"Hou Ye rest assured, the little one knows Hou Ye's ambitions, and he will definitely go all the way to learn all the way, and become Hou Ye's minions in the future, explore this vast sea for Hou Ye, do his best, and die for himself!"

Tian Yun came to show his loyalty, but was slapped on the back of the head by Fang Jun.

"What do you call minions? Lao Tzu is the Great Demon King! Work hard, there will definitely be a place for you in the history books of the future! Remember, nothing matters, only people are the most important, no matter what happens, bring these soldiers and crew members back alive! ”

"No!"

Tian Yunlai should be loud, full of pride!

Half a year ago, he was just a small soldier, who would have thought that now he would become the head of a fleet and set foot on a distant land that the Han people had never reached?
