never thought that the conversation between the two of them was heard by Cui Guishi, who was passing by.

Cui Guishi frowned, and said coldly: "Discipline, discipline does not understand." ”

Wu Ergou and Chen Mazi were stunned for a moment, and then they both asked, "What is discipline?" ”

Isn't the heart way a new word made up by the county lord?

They also understand now, the county lord can always come up with some new words from time to time. They had never heard these words, and of course they could not understand them.

"Discipline is an order, it is a military order!"

Cui Guishi rolled his eyes and explained impatiently: "The effect of your array training is not good, of course Master Trainer has the right to punish you according to discipline, and the punishment in terms of food is already the lightest." Do you still want to be beaten with a military stick? ”

Hearing the three words of beating the military stick, the necks of both of them shrank. They had all been beaten with sticks, and it was not a pleasant feeling.

I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also likes to spank the buttocks of ministers, and it is called the court staff. Regardless of whether it is the Six Shangshu or the Imperial Historian, anyone who rebels against the dragon scales and annoys the emperor is dragged out of the noon gate court staff by the Jinyi guard.

The Ming Dynasty even set a record of two hundred courtiers receiving the court staff at the same time, and Wu Ergou shuddered at the thought of more than two hundred white flowers' buttocks lined up in a row by the court staff.

"Cui Tou'er, look at what you said, I just have a few more words, so you can treat me as a fart. What kind of discipline is that, can't we just abide by it? ”

Wu Ergou looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so Cui Guishi didn't know what to say.

He smashed his mouth and snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu believes you? Wait, the disciplinary regulations of our Xiangshan Army will be promulgated soon, and everyone will have to memorize one copy at that time. If anyone can't carry it, then the stick will serve! ”

Wu Ergou was dumbfounded. He originally thought that Cui Guishi was just talking about fun, who would have thought that he was serious. And there will be a bound version of the disciplinary regulations, and everyone will have to memorize it.

"What, you're scared? We have to carry it too. You can't carry it down? ”

Cui Guishi glanced at Wu Ergou, and he was so frightened that he said repeatedly: "Carry it down, definitely carry it down." ”

"Hurry up and get back to Lao Tzu, don't be embarrassed here!"

Cui Guishi flicked his sleeves and walked away.

......

Under the supervision of Zhao Guangning, Ning Xiu's fleet was finally ready to set off.

The ships had been resupplied in advance and set off from Wuzhushan Island in the direction of Luzon.

This time, there are three big fortune ships and two small fortune ships in the fleet, which are almost all the ships in Ning Xiu's hands.

And Zhao Guangning, as the flagship captain of this trip to the South Seas, has full authority to decide all matters of the trip to the South Seas.

Ning Xiu even transferred half of the veterans of the Qi family army to Zhao Guangning. In his opinion, this is his first step in the Hainan Seas, and he must do it well no matter what.

Zhao Guangning was even more emotional.

He stood on the deck, looking out at the blue sea. He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't been to Nanyang.

Although he is a Nanyang Tong, he has not gone to sea in person since he had a hot fight with the Francophone and obtained the privilege of being in the trench realm.

Until Ning Xiu became the commander of Xiangshan County......

I don't know why Zhao Guangning is very optimistic about Ning Xiu. From the first meeting with him, Zhao Guangning was impressed by this young county magistrate and thought that he would definitely have great achievements.

Later, Ning Xiu's series of actions made Zhao Guangning firm in this idea.

Sweep the sea, seize the island, and eliminate dissidents......

This is like the means of a young man who is less than twenty years old, and it is clearly a ruthless character who has been in the officialdom for many years.

At that time, Zhao Guangning had two choices in front of him. One is to continue to hug the thighs of the Franc machine man and be a rich man. The second is to serve Ning Xiu and do things for Ning Xiu.

Zhao Guangning chose the latter with almost no hesitation. Now it seems that it was definitely a very correct choice.

"Captain, there is a ship of the Kingdom of Spain in front of it, with the official flag of the Governor of Manila."

A Francophone sailor reminded.

Although now the Spaniards and the Portuguese formed the United Kingdom. The rulers of the Ming Dynasty also habitually referred to them collectively as the Francos, but the Portuguese themselves still made a distinction.

In their view, this United Kingdom is in fact a humiliation, constituted under unequal conditions.

So when they think of Spaniards, they say 'they are Spaniards', and when they call themselves, they say 'we Portuguese.' ”

Zhao Guangning has been dealing with the Portuguese all year round, and he has long been accustomed to their names, and he has no intention of correcting them.

"Look at their course, they are also heading towards Luzon."

Zhao Guangning looked at it with a monocular and said in a harmonious voice.

"Captain, shall we fly the flag of the Doge's Palace?"

Zhao Guangning shook his head.

"Since I'm doing things for Lord Xianzun now, naturally there's no reason to raise the banner on the other side of the trench again."

In fact, there is a deeper reason that he did not say, that is, he thinks that the banner of the trench will not only not be useful, but will also have the opposite effect.

The current Governor of Manila, Sanchez, was so disgusted with the Portuguese that he even expelled them from the city. The other party's ships were under the flag of Manila, that is, the descendants of Sanchez. Zhao Guang didn't want a naval battle to break out for no reason.

In 1571, after the conquistador Regasby arrived on Luzon and built the city of Manila, the Spaniards firmly controlled the city and used this city as an axis to radiate and control the whole of Luzon.

Luzon has a unique geographical location, and if you want to go to Java and other places, you must pass through Luzon. As a result, the Spanish governor levied a large commercial tax on passing ships, and made a lot of money.

Catholicism also took advantage of this opportunity to spread in Luzon, and today even the local population is basically Catholic.

Zhao Guangning is well aware of the role of religion. Originally, the Spanish rule over Luzon was not stable. But after more than a dozen years of proselytizing, the locals have come to accept Spanish rule that is completely different from their skin color and hair. Because in their subconscious they have decided that these people and they are believers in God.

However, these are irrelevant to Zhao Guangning.

The purpose of his trip was to ensure the smooth flow of air routes and establish contacts with traders in Manila so as to lay the groundwork for future voyages to the South Seas. As long as he did this, he could give Ning Xiu an errand.

"Raise the flag of the Ming merchant ship and keep a distance from the Spanish ship in front."

Zhao Guangning also knew that Ning Xiu would not see the light when he went to the sea, so he would not show the official background of this fleet as a last resort.
