Kang Maocai said in horror: "Do the people of heaven really have this kind of ambition? ”

"A hundred years ago, Manchu Jia was not called Manchu Thorn Jia, people were called Bo Ni Country, loyal to the Great Wei, people were willing to give, and the country was happy, and there was never anything to expand outward. Later, the Tianfang people instigated the followers to coup d'état, established the Tianfang Sect and established the country, changed the Bo mud to Manchu Thorn Jia, immediately went north to fight Siam, and now attacked the Three Buddhas, why? It is for the sake of the heavenly people to uphold their teachings. Now there are full thorns, and then the three Buddhas, Lan Fang, and then north to the Siamese Champa Zhenla countries, all into the heavenly chess pieces, and then annex the Great Wei and the Japanese Kingdom, nearly half of the world is covered by the Tianfang teachings, this is the real ambition of the Tianfang people. ”

Kang Maocai said in a deep voice: "What my father means is that if you can bow your head in everything, when it comes to such a major matter of life and death, you can't endure a momentary humiliation no matter what, because if you endure it once, there will be no next time." ”

"That's true for some, but not for some." Kang Tian prayed: "Xu Zixian will not endure it, because he is the kind of person who has great ambitions and wants to soar to the sky." It's not that I look down on my son, but that you grew up with a different experience than him, and when he has forbearance, he is more motivated. And you have lived under the success of being a father since you were a child, and your personality will not be the same as Xu Zixian under the accumulation of power, and it is not much interesting to reluctantly change. This is the difference between the people who fight the world and the people who sit in the world, in all dynasties, except for Li Yuan, Li Shimin's father and son, most of them are Lao Tzu who fights the world, and his son sits in the court. Since you are a person who understands the overall situation, knows how to forbear, and knows how to advance and retreat, it is not bad. At least for the father's foundation, as long as it is not Pu Xingfeng's department, ordinary people don't want to touch the father's foundation, no one can do it. I can live for ten years as a father, and I am afraid that after ten years, the dust will settle, and when the time comes, with your character, the general trend will be clear, and it is not bad to be a master of success. ”

Kang Maocai knew what his problem was, he was unconvinced and unwilling, but he also had to admit that the big ship of the Kang family still needs his father to be at the helm.

If the general trend is really clear within ten years, it is okay, to be a daimyo who is not a daimyo in the Wa Kingdom, with a fief and a powerful sailor, the Wa people dare not offend, and they are at peace with each other, so that they can continue to be rich and noble.

It's just that Kang Mao doubts in his heart, no matter who gains power, whether it is the revival of the Great Wei national power, or the Tianfang people, or even the Donghu people who win the Great Wei world, which side will tolerate such an alien power as the Kang family, with a powerful sailor, entrenched in the Japanese country, and always rich and noble?

He didn't have an answer to this question, and for Kang Maocai, he still didn't trust his father's judgment, and even felt that if Xu Zixian acted recklessly like his father, most of the foundation would be ruined.

And Nan'anhou, a variable on the side of the Great Wei, I am afraid that it will also fall into complete destruction with the reckless and fragmented behavior.

"It's a pity." Kang Maocai finally regretted that he admired Xu Zixian very much, this Nan'an Hou is an interesting character, originally Kang Maocai also planned to go to the Eastern Domain once in the near future to meet each other, but now it seems that there may be no need for this, and there is no such opportunity.

……

Luzon's Cebu Island is its outer island, the area is not small, and the natural environment of water and soil is quite outstanding, the island has a large number of residents, more than one million people, a large area of land that has been developed and used in advance, a main port, a city, and a large number of houses.

The low thatched huts are inhabited by the indigenous people of Luzon, and there are still millions of indigenous people on the island, most of them are Malays, low, wide-nosed, narrow-eyed, dark-skinned, and even darker than the Malays.

They and the Srivijaya people, Lan Fang, and Manchu Jia probably belong to the same race, but they do not understand the same language.

There are also more than 300,000 Chinese here in Luzon, compared with one-twentieth of its total population, the population base is already quite large, and it is considered the largest ethnic group among its foreign races.

This situation is similar in all the countries of the South and the East, in Srivijaya one-third of the population is Han Chinese, in Lanfang simply accounts for more than half, there are more than 100,000 Han people living in Manchuria, and in Siam and Champa and other countries, there are also hundreds of thousands of Han people.

Most of these immigrants began to emigrate overseas in the late Tang Dynasty, and after more than 300 years of multiplication, they spread all over the world. Because the Han people are hard-working and relatively united, some families have emigrated overseas for more than 200 years, but they still speak Chinese, learn Chinese characters, and read sage books.

In two or three hundred years, most of the Han people mastered the economic lifeline of various countries, such as Lanfangguo, which also mastered the military and political power of its country, and finally more than ten Han families joined forces to establish a pure Han overseas country.

The Han Chinese in Luzon did not yet have this ability, but they clearly controlled the economic lifeblood of the country, and this was the most basic level of success.

Yan Qi and Li Dan are Luzon, they obviously hate the foreign Han people, when they entrenched in Cebu, the Han people living in the city were driven out of the city, so that the Han people lived in those low grass houses, the Han people built good houses were assigned to the pirates and the leaders of the natives, so that over the years, in Cebu and Luzon, it has caused widespread praise and recognition among the locals, the royal family of Luzon, and some dignitaries, secretly expressed their appreciation for Yan and Li.

Such a situation is equivalent to Kang Tianqi in the Wa Kingdom, Wang Zhi in the Great Wei, Pu Xingfeng in Manthorn Jia, these pirates who once had no fixed residence, have been wandering around the sea, entrenched on the desert island, have gradually found a foothold.

This is also an inevitable thing, and it is the trend of the times.

With the revival of the Europeans, they were also mixed into the maritime trade, the maritime trade became more and more developed, there were more and more ships, and the profits were increasing.

Pu Xingfeng's action in Manchu Thorn is to restore Manchu Thorn Ka's eastern and western outlets to the sea in Srivijaya, that is, Malacca, in his hands, of course, it has not been able to do so.

Wang Zhi and Kang Tianqi have already obtained benefits in the form of taxes on merchant ships at sea, and they also do various transactions themselves, such as Kang Tianqi monopolized the purchase and sale of raw silk in Fujian, and many Fujian merchants did not sell raw silk to others, but only sold to Kang Tianqi and his agents.

That's a great benefit, so why bother fighting, killing, and killing?

Yan Qi and Li Dan did not have the determination to return to Wang Zhi, nor did they know how to operate as Kang Tianqi.

The two have also been tossing blindly in Luzon, because they are hostile to the Han people and Han merchants, they have not been able to operate a qualified business in Luzon, no matter what goods they operate, it is difficult to sell quickly, and it is not easy to sell at a high price.

Doing business and not being able to put a knife on someone else's neck to sell it, after a few years of business, these two people have become quite impatient.

In the last year, the two began to plunder merchant ships on a large scale with their subordinates, and their methods were quite violent and ferocious, often killing entire ships of merchants and sailors, and many merchants of the Great Wei and Western Oceans had regarded the waters around Luzon as a daunting path.

The merchant ships have been greatly reduced, and the short-sightedness and senseless brutality of the two men have put themselves in an embarrassment. Luzon's national strength is quite weak, the current Manila is not the Manila of 200 years later, its capital is ruined, the scope is very small, the limited wealth in the hands of the people is concentrated in the hands of the princes and magnates and Han merchants, even if Yan Qi and Li Dan wantonly loot in the Luzon area, they will not get more benefits and oil and water at all.

When Pu Xingfeng promised them a cut of the benefits of the route to Srivijaya, Lan Fang, Manchu Ka, Ceylon, and Chenla, the two pirates, who were gradually coming to a desperate situation, undoubtedly found a straw to save their lives.

Yan Qi is more than forty years old, short and strong, the whole person seems to be an iron cube forged by pig iron, the muscles on his body have been compressed and can no longer be compressed, two big hands are not like he can have such a size, from a distance, I feel that this person is quite dangerous, which is terrifying.

Yan Qi's favorite thing is also to strangle those captured captives with his hands, he once strangled two middle-aged men alive with one hand, how the other party writhed and struggled, in the end it was useless.

Of course, such a person will not be loved by his subordinates, but Yan Qi thinks that enough awe is enough.

Li Dan is of medium to upper height, very thin, looks capable and powerful, he is famous for his wisdom, the five thieves once joined forces to capture Zhangzhou, and the strategy before and after is Li Dan's single-handed plan.

The fleet of the two has been mobilized for more than half a month, and by this time there is no need to keep it secret.

The pirates will not have too many direct subordinates, because it is quite expensive to feed the pirates, and neither of them has a stable source of business and taxation, so they usually keep only a few dozen ships and thousands of subordinates by their side.

The pirate subordinates are also doing their own thing, but the big operation needs to be concentrated in one place, some pirate leaders also have a dozen or twenty ships, hundreds or thousands of subordinates, and some only have one ship, dozens or one or two hundred subordinates.

Under the orders of the two pirate kings, nearly 300 ships have been concentrated in the sea and port of Cebu, as expected by Kang Tianqi and his son, there are more than 50 ships of more than 200 tons, and more than 200 ships of more than 100 tons, and the number of people on each warship is less than 100 people, and the number of people on each warship is about 3 or 400.

Yan Qi and Li Dan each had a large warship as their flagship, and the style was like a Tianfang sea ship, with a large angle of attack, four masts and soft sails, a high and narrow stern tower at the stern, and an oval streamlined hull.

This is in two forms, and the flat and wide hull of the Great Wei warship, and the wide and tall stern tower, this kind of ship is faster, and the soft sail is easier to adjust the direction, which is quite advantageous in naval warfare. However, it does not have the watertight compartment design of the Wei-style battleship, and it is not as easy to upgrade as the hard sail of the Fu ship, and once it is hit by a stone bullet, it is very likely to capsize and sink.

Of course, all ships at sea use the best and strongest wood possible, and in Europe, in addition to cutting down wild oak and oak, people have also begun to plant oak on a large scale, although oak timber takes decades or hundreds of years to mature, but many countries still have this foresight, knowing that shipbuilding and the Age of Discovery may last for a long time.

The ships were gathered, the soldiers were gathered, Yan Qi and Li Dan were about to embark on the shore, and within a day, this huge fleet would leave the Luzon Sea and drift south along the current.

In the late Ming Dynasty of history, Spanish galleons from South America brought gold and silver, purchased Chinese porcelain and tea and raw silk from Luzon and then turned back, and the people at that time called this route the golden route, because there were too many ships coming and going, it is exaggerated that the ships from Quanzhou, China to Manila could only be connected to each other.

At this time, the development of South America had just begun, and Luzon was plagued by two pirate kings, and the ports were in depression, and many natives were conscripted to do some coolie chores, and they looked with awe at the ships that gradually raised their sails on the sea and in the harbors, and these naval battles were of various sizes, and the common feature was that they were full of ferocious pirates.

Brutal, ferocious, violent pirates keep moving around on the ship, there is noise from time to time, and some idle and boring pirates will always quarrel or fight, which is a common thing for pirate leaders, even if it is killed, it is nothing more than throwing the lost corpse into the sea, nothing will matter, the sharks will solve this kind of thing, and eventually a few wisps of blood will float on the sea, and soon it will disappear completely.
