Chapter 717: Imperial Court Reaction
As the sailor arrived in Jiangzhou to rest, the Jiangxi Provincial Government learned the news.
At Dugu's suggestion, Zhong Chuan agreed to prepare the army in Jiangxi, issue weapons and armor, and wait for the will of the imperial court.
If something like this happens, the court will definitely not give up.
Moreover, the Yangtze River Sailor himself was born in the forbidden army, and it is difficult to say if he has not learned the others, but this problem of protecting the short has always been there.
Wang Shimiao's department was attacked, and Shi Ling, the governor of the water division, would definitely not give up.
Originally, the saint wanted to pacify Jiangnan, and this incident undoubtedly gave the imperial court a righteous and bright excuse.
With the saintly nature, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
So after Dugu lost the news, he made a suggestion to Zhong Chuan on the same day.
With the support of Peng Ji, the marching Sima, Zhong Chuan could only choose to agree.
At the same time, the army was also ordered to prepare.
As Dugu guessed, when Wang Shimiao's sailor returned to Ezhou and spread the news to Shi Ling's ears, the latter scolded Tian Hao for being bold, so he personally drafted a letter and sent it to Chang'an.
。。。。。。
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
"Your Majesty, this piece of gold was found on that island suspected to be Luzon."
Wang Shimiao said respectfully.
And in front of him, there was a table, on which lay a strangely shaped piece of gold on a plate, and beside it was a red cloth that had been lifted.
"Are Wang Aiqing sure that island is Luzon?" Li Ye bent down and took a closer look at the strange-looking dog-headed gold, and only after a while did he get up and look at Wang Shimiao who was bent over.
Wang Shimiao saluted and said respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are not sure." The will of the saint is important, and the ministers did not stay on this island for too long, but this island is very large, and the ministers led the fleet to sail south for a while, but they could not find the edge. ”
"If you were to go again, would you be able to find this island?" Li Ye asked seriously.
Wang Shimiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "If Your Majesty has a will, the minister will definitely find this island even if he works hard." ”
"With so much nonsense, I asked if you could find it?" Li Ye was a little displeased.
"Channe!" Wang Shimiao affirmed.
"Since you can, then I will make you the general of the Mingzhou Naval Division, and give me a good exploration of Liuqiu, as well as the unknown big island.
If I can make a great contribution to the expansion of my Tang Dynasty, I will definitely be rewarded. Li Ye said generously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Wang Shimiao was overjoyed, and he was not happy about his choice.
"Your Majesty, it is said that there are not many people of the Tang Dynasty living in Naliuqiu, and there are still many barbarians on the island. The same is true of the islands that General Wang explored this time, why do you want to turn those barren islands into the territory of my Datang? Pei Rong was a little puzzled.
Pei Aiqing's words are wrong, since such a large piece of natural gold can be found on that island, it can be seen that the island must be rich in gold.
In this way, it is a treasure land, how can it be a barren land? Since such a large piece of gold was dug up in that place, how about calling it Golden State? Li Ge thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Pei Rong hurriedly said.
"As for this stream, it is called Ningzhou, and in order to distinguish it from Ningzhou in Guannai Province, it is called Dongningzhou. Instructed the Zhendong Army to take care of Dongning Prefecture more, and strive to make it a new territory of our Datang. ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
"Your Majesty, what about Xuanzhou Tian Bao's attack on the Sailor?"
Shi Ling was not interested in Dongning Prefecture, Jinzhou or anything, he was interested in Xuanzhou.
Tian Hao attacked the water division, although he was defeated in the end, Shi Ling thought that his authority was challenged, and he couldn't get over his face, so he had to find Tian Hao to get back on the field.
"Attack the Yangtze River Sailors? This Xuanzhou Tian is quite bold. Hearing the news, Li Ye shook his head and returned to his seat and sat down.
"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this move is a provocation to the imperial court, and he should be punished." Pei Rong then said.
"Did Tian Hao ever write a book to explain the reason?" Li Ye asked lightly.
"Back to Your Majesty, I once sent someone to say that it was not the Xuanzhou Sailor who did it, and it was the water bandits who attacked the Imperial Court Sailor." Li Sizhou replied.
"Your Majesty, it's definitely not a water bandit. How can a bandit be able to build a giant ship like a building ship? Shi Ling argued.
"Wang Aiqing, you are the party, tell me your analysis." Li Ye glanced at Wang Shimiao, and then returned to the book in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the banner of the sailor led by the raider is indeed under the banner of a water bandit, but Shi Dudu is not wrong, with the ability of a water bandit, it is indeed unable to build a giant ship.
And the minister also arrested a lot of water bandits, and it was also confirmed that they were water bandits pretended to be the Xuanzhou sailors. Wang Shimiao replied.
"Since it is true, in the name of the imperial court, order it, remove Tian Hao from his position, and escort him to Beijing for interrogation. If it resists, the Yangtze River Water Division, Jiangxi Province and Zhendong Army will send troops to pacify it, and Shi Ling will lead the army. Li Ye said casually, as if Tian Hao couldn't arouse his much interest.
"Command!" When Shi Ling heard this, his heart was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly saluted and thanked him.
"Pei Aiqing, is there any news from Yang Xingmi?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Huainan and Zhenhai both played, thinking that the attack on the sailor was a misunderstanding, but they mistakenly took the imperial court sailor as the Shengzhou sailor."
"This Yang Xingmi and Qian Biao are actually wearing a pair of pants? Interesting. Li Ye smiled, "Don't bother with it, let's do it as before, salute first and then soldier, so as not to infamy the imperial court." ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your ministers understand!"
"Let's go down, I'm really tired."
"Wait for the resignation!"
After the ministers left, Li Ye opened his eyes and looked at the dog's head gold placed below, his eyes were a little complicated.
Today, except for some refugees who fled to the sea, the rest of the country is undeveloped virgin land, and only some local indigenous people live.
Li Ye has a deep understanding of the importance of liuqiu, which is a barrier on the Datang Sea. Although it is barren now, the western coast of the island is fertile and suitable for cultivation and development, so it is really a treasure island.
Datang is definitely going overseas, this is a trend, and what Li Ye is doing now is to let a group of navigators who dare to open up among the courtiers and civilians of Datang be born.
But at the beginning, there must be the guidance of the imperial court.
In addition to this stream, the same is true of Luzon.
He wanted to turn these places into the real Dongning and Golden States, not just a common name in the books.
"Zhang Wei!"
"The old slave is here!"
"Go and call Zhang Xiong, I have something to tell him." Li Ye thought for a while and commanded.
"The old slave obeys the order, and the old slave will immediately go to let people pass it on to the palace to meet him!"
