The sea is like a cloud, and the mast is like a forest.

Hundreds of merchant ships flocked here, all in order to pay tribute to the Marquis of Huating, who opened up territory for the Tang Dynasty overseas, if he was favored by the "God of Wealth" by the way, it would be great......

The soldiers on the warship were startled by the sudden arrival of the merchant ships, and thought that there were local forces that wanted to be unfavorable to the Hou Ye, so they rushed to the deck in full armor, swords out of the sheath and bows on the wind, and even the guns on the four new warships lifted their gun jackets, stuffed gunpowder and iron bullets into the barrels, and waited for the situation to be bad and bombard him!

Fang Jun in the cabin was also a little confused, looking at the merchant ships gathered around him through the porthole, and he was a little sweaty.

Is this an ambush?

Fortunately, Liu Renliang was calm, and after a little observation, he reminded Fang Jundao: "Master Hou, it should be a businessman from the Tang Dynasty who came here, you listen ...... me?"

Fang Jun listened intently.

"We see the ...... of the Marquis of Huating"

"Hou Ye is proud of the outside world, showing the majesty of the Han people, and we pay homage!"

"See Hua Tinghou!"

"Master Hou is mighty!"

……

It turned out that the merchants who were doing business here knew that they were coming, so they rushed to greet them!

Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Renliang snorted and said unhappily: "Nonsense! Hou Ye is the body of a daughter, how can he risk meeting with the sea? The last will expel them all! ”

Fang Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wait, Ben Hou will go out to see you." ”

Liu Renliang was shocked: "Master Hou, don't do it!" There is a mess outside, who knows if there are people who are mixed in and waiting for an opportunity to be unfavorable to Hou Ye? Safety is the first thing, Hou Ye must not show up! ”

Fang Jun didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Yu Minglei: "Can Young Master Yu Ming protect the Fa for Benhou?" ”

The term "protector" is a term that has been used in many religions, and is also used by the native Brahmanical religion of Linyi. It is said that the Buddha was worried that there would be slanderers of the Dharma and destruction of the temple pagoda in the last days, so he sent the four great voices and the sixteen arhats to protect the Dharma. Brahma, Shakti, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Divine Generals, and the Twenty-Eight Tribesmen all vowed to uphold the Dharma after hearing the Buddha's teachings, and these gods who supported the Dharma were called Dharma protectors......

Of course, when Fang Jun said this word at this time, it was mostly a ridicule of the cancellation, and he obviously did not take the Brahmanism that was extremely powerful in Linyi Country in his eyes.

Yu Minglei smiled and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Xiaosheng will protect the Buddha once, and make sure that those ghosts and ghosts can't get close!" ”

Fang Jun laughed and said to Liu Renliang, who looked helpless: "Raise the dragon flag for Benhou!" ”

Liu Renliang was helpless, and besides, he was also a god to Yu Minglei's skills, with him by Fang Jun's side, even if there were thieves who didn't open their eyes and wanted to sneak attack from a distance, it didn't matter, if it was a close combat, the elite of a thousand sailors on these ten warships, and the custody would make it impossible for anyone to come and go!

At that moment, he hurriedly went out of the cabin and ordered the soldiers to raise the dragon flags on each warship!

Under normal circumstances, the dragon flag on a warship will not be raised easily. Either engage the enemy or accept the inspection of the superiors, and the rest of the time the dragon flag will not be raised. After all, the texture and style of the dragon flag are different, often a voyage down, the fabric of the dragon flag is eroded by the sea breeze, dilapidated, humiliating the national body, not to mention, it can not play a role in improving morale.

More and more merchant ships gathered on the sea, and most of the merchants stood at the bow of the ship as a sign of respect. Suddenly, I saw the triangular shape of the Ming and Yellow Dragon Flags slowly rising on the highest masts of the Tang Dynasty warships, and suddenly felt a surge of blood in my heart, and it spread all over my body in an instant.

Full of enthusiasm and pride!

There is no better place to feel the importance of a strong motherland than people who have traveled far from their homeland to a foreign land! However, the people of Linyi do not have much reverence for the Han people, even if the current Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and prosperous, after all, they are too far away, and the power of the sharp edge is difficult to reach this foreign land......

But now it's different!

The fleet in front of you is the private fleet of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, representing the supreme imperial power!

And when such a fleet raised the dragon flag in the face of these merchants, it was to tell them that no matter how high the sky was and how far the sea was, the Tang Emperor had never forgotten them, the Han people!

The dragon flag is the same as you!

All of a sudden, all the people on the merchant ship had a feeling of "the child was bullied outside, and the family rushed to support him", they tidied up their appearance, stood on the bow deck, waved at the dragon flag fluttering in the wind, bent down deeply, and shouted: "Datang, long live!" ”

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

In an instant, the words of everyone on the sea shook the sky!

The power of the unity of the people is enough to shake the sea and sweep the stratus clouds!

Looking around at the lively Linyi people, Hu Shang and other people from other countries were all shocked and dumbfounded, and they didn't know why these Han businessmen, who had always been gentle and friendly, broke out with such an amazing momentum?

It wasn't until he saw the warship flying the dragon flag surrounded by hundreds of merchant ships that he suddenly realized. The fact that Datang purchased two ports in Linyi Kingdom to become permanent land has long been rumored and known far and wide.

All businessmen other than Han merchants can only express their feelings with envy, jealousy and hatred!

There is a territory and a garrison, which means that from now on, this vast ocean is the backyard of the Han people, which means that no one dares to easily humiliate and extort those friendly and harmonious Han merchants from now on!

But what about envy, jealousy, and hatred?

Who called the people behind a strong and domineering Tang Dynasty!

Fang Jun walked out of the cabin, and was greeted by the tsunami-like sound of "Long live"!

The concerted and magnificent call of "Long live" made a sense of national pride in Fang Jun's heart rise suddenly.

That's how it feels!

We Han people are born in the world, we must have such a lofty ambition to look down on the world!

We have the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, the four seas to come to the dynasty, and the country and the people!

What Fang Jun wants to do is to continue this national pride from generation to generation, so that the children and grandchildren of the Han people can shout out the Tang Dynasty with such a straight spine and bravery, long live!

Fang Jun raised his arms high and said loudly: "Ben Hou is here to Linyi to patrol the heavens!" Since then, the two ports of Da Nang and Cam Ranh have been the territory of Datang, and Da Nang is also the first overseas branch of Datang City, and all the trade between Datang and Linyi has transited here! If there is no tax stamp issued by Da Nang, it will be regarded as smuggling, and it is not allowed to enter the Datang transaction. ”

His voice was clear and impassioned, and it sounded far and wide above the sea.

All the Han merchants who came to see him were a little dumbfounded......

We rushed to meet Master Wang with enthusiasm, and as a result, you talked to us about money as soon as you met him?

Although you have to pay taxes to do business, it is the same whether you hand it over to Lin Yiguo or hand it over to Datang, but is it really good for you to be so direct......

Fang Jun naturally wouldn't do such a bad thing, so he then shouted loudly in a sonorous tone: "But! While you are doing business in a civilized manner and paying taxes reasonably, the Datang Royal Naval Fleet will ensure your safety on the sea and in the local area of Linyi Country! The majestic Tang Dynasty, the great achievements, our generation of soldiers, not only to defend the land and the country, but also to safeguard the interests of the people of the Tang Dynasty! Those who commit my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away! ”

"Boom!"

Above the surface of the sea, hundreds of earth-shattering thunderbolts were detonated!

All the Han merchants, whether they are Hu people, as long as they can understand the Chinese language, they all scream!

Imperial Sailor, will protect the safety of merchants?!

I'm dripping sky!

Aren't our merchants lowly people, when did they receive so much attention from the imperial court?

"Master Hou, are you serious?"

I don't know which boat sounded a question.

Fang Jun said solemnly: "Ben Hou is in charge of the royal sailor, what Ben Hou said, there is no need to question it!" Today, Nian Er and others are ignorant and will not be blamed, if anyone dares to question Ben Hou's words and question the authority of the sailor in the future, he will not be spared! ”

"Hahaha, we grass people are wandering in a foreign land, and we are using our lives to earn a bite to eat! How many of the merchants who have wandered on the sea route since ancient times have been killed by pirates and bandits, and how many have been oppressed and mutilated by the Hu people of Fanbang? Even Yue Guogong, the governor of Gaozhou, who was close at hand, ignored us and let the Hu people bully us! But I never thought that Hou Ye could lead the sailor to open up the territory in the foreign land of Fanbang thousands of miles away, and promised to protect our lives and safety. ”

An old man in good spirits stood in a boat, his tone generous.

The surrounding businessmen were encouraged by his words, and immediately saluted Fang Jun again.

Fang Jun stood at the bow of the boat with a smile and asked the old man with a smile: "I don't know the name of the old man, can I see it?" ”

The old man smiled and twisted his beard and said, "Under Zhang Zhongjian." ”

Fang Jun smiled and clenched his fists, but he was slightly surprised in his heart.

The name......

How does it sound familiar?
