Just when the two of them were thinking hard and feeling uneasy, Li Shaoxian came over. Li Shaoxian is a talented person who can write and martial arts, and in terms of literature, he is one of the few among these officers who have passed the examination, and in terms of martial arts, he also spent two years in the Daming Official School, and later studied in the military branch for two years, and has superhuman fighting skills, after two years of military experience, he became a junior officer. And Gao Nian's deliberate teasing by Qian Shoulian made Li Shaoxian and made him the captain of Yu Hualong's guard, quickly changing from a junior officer to a famous guard captain. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, but there is also a chance to be more capable, there is a classic line in later generations, "Ask the gentleman how much sorrow he can have, just like a eunuch going to the Qinglou", that is to say, there is no chance to have the ability, at most it is a nest, and if there is a chance without the ability, it is the standard eunuch to go to the Qinglou. Li Shaoxian is precisely a person who has both the ability and the opportunity, so he will naturally rise to the top and soar away.

It should be said that Li Shaoxian's luck is not ordinarily good, he was originally a military attaché, but he was discovered by Qian Shoulian, a clerk of Niu Jinxing's civil official department, but he was snatched away by Yu Hualong, who is a military general, which can be described as a double flower. And Li Shaoxian himself has a historical family precipitation of being an official in the army, so Li Shaoxian is now like a fish in water, that is, he is liked by Niu Jinxing, and he is treated by Yu Hualong, and the two of them are also dedicated to him, so that his knowledge and insight are not ordinary by leaps and bounds, and even privately considered to be the third person in the Ming Army after Niu Jinxing and Yu Hualong, but he himself has a very conscious low profile to handle the relationship with colleagues, and has been unanimously praised by everyone, including Yidao and Bull are willing to chat with him for a while when they are fine.

Seeing Li Shaoxian coming, a knife and a bull were like seeing a savior, and immediately asked Li Shaoxian to help come up with an idea to solve their heart disease. A knife took Li Shaoxian's hands and said sincerely: "Brother Li Xian, we have been together for several months, my brother admires you very much in my heart, and now I have a problem with Brother Bull, please help me come up with ideas, don't let my brother down!" ”

Li Shaoxian smiled slightly and said, "I don't know what problems the two brothers have encountered?" The younger brother has worked hard for the two brothers. ”

Yidao and the bull were overjoyed, and the bull said: "I don't know if my brother has heard about it, Mr. Niu said that the soldiers have been away from home for too long and plan to return to the Ming Dynasty to recuperate, and they can't say when it will come later, maybe His Majesty the Emperor won't let them come out, and they won't come back." ”

Li Shaoxian said: "What's the problem, the two brothers have been following Mr. and General Yu for several months, is there anything that can't be handled?" Haven't the Spaniards all been driven away? ”

Yidao said with a wry smile: "Brother Xian, my family knows about our own family affairs, and others don't know our brothers' skills, don't you know?" Not to mention comparing with Mr. Niu and General Yu, even comparing you with your brother, it is also a difference of 108,000 miles! The Spaniards are strong and strong, and only by relying on the army of the Ming Dynasty can our brothers stand on their feet. If Mr. Niu and General Yu leave, when the Spaniards come, they will definitely not have the good fruit of our brothers to eat. Why don't you talk to Mr. Niu and take our brothers to Daming, so as not to lose this little life here. ”

Li Shaoxian said: "I don't think it will be possible to follow Mr. Niu, I still expect the two brothers to protect those Ming merchants, who can control the situation here if you two go." In this way, the two brothers can talk to Mr. Niu and General Yu, let them leave some men and horses here to help you, and then let him keep some warships, that is, in case he can't beat the Spaniards, he can always go to Daming to report the news! I don't think Da Ming will ignore his friends, not to mention that there are still many businessmen doing business here, and they will definitely send more troops. ”

Yidao and Bull looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, such a simple thing, why can't they think of it, the two stared at Li Shaoxian, glanced at each other, took up their hands and bowed deeply to Li Shaoxian, and then went to Niu Jinxing's big tent.

In Niu Jinxing's house, Yu Hualong was discussing with him about going home, since he planned to go back, he would definitely arrange many things here, and he had not yet found the silver ore and rubber trees mentioned by Zhu Youxiao, and found better cotton and sunflowers, and these seeds had been stored a lot. The silver mine that Zhu Youxiao said should still be further north, and according to the map of the Portuguese and the map handed over by Zhu Youxiao, it still needs to sail far north. Of course, if you find a suitable route, it is not impossible to come next time, it depends on Zhu Youxiao's meaning, but this time you must find a rubber tree, otherwise you will not complete the main task.

The two were discussing these things, and Yidao and the bull walked in, and without waiting for Niu Jinxing and Yu Hualong to ask, the two knelt down and said: "I heard that Mr. and General Yu are going back to Daming, please take the two of us away, we are already the courtiers of His Majesty the Emperor of Daming, how can I say that I want to meet Your Majesty!" ”

Niu Jinxing smiled and said: "Two, if you have something to say, let it go, don't play with the old cow." Say, what's the requirement? ”

Yidao said: "Mr. wants to go back to Daming, Yidao doesn't dare to stop him, but after you leave, what should we do?" Once the Spaniards call, we will definitely be finished, and the merchants who come with you, I guess how we deal with them, they will definitely deal with us, so you have to leave some people to help us both watch this place for you, I don't know if the gentleman will agree. ”

Yidao looked at Yu Hualong as he spoke, of course Niu Jinxing knew that there would definitely be some people left, but it was not good to say it himself, he must let Yidao say it himself, otherwise he would not have let out the wind early and said that he would go back to the Ming Dynasty. Looking at Yidao and looking at Yu Hualong, he knew that Yidao wanted Yu Hualong to leave some troops and warships.

Niu Jinxing said: "It's okay to leave some troops, but I don't know if anyone is willing to stay, have you two found the right person to come, or let General Yu choose for you?" ”

When Yu Hualong saw a knife staring at him, he knew that he wanted to fight his own idea, but he didn't expect that people didn't take a fancy to him, and they didn't have the courage to keep him, so Yu Hualong just kept silent.

With a knife, he said to Hualong: "We have missed General Yu's guard Captain Li Shaoxian, please ask General Yu to promise to keep him." ”

Yu Hualong bared his teeth, like a toothache, he had just gotten a satisfactory captain of the guard, and now he was snatched away again, if he didn't agree, this would delay Li Shaoxian's future, agree, he was really reluctant, just look at Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing laughed: "It looks like you have a good eye!" Li Shaoxian, this kid is really a suitable person. General Yu, you are really a good eye, the people you have selected are all to be seen, give it to them, so that we can go back with confidence. ”

Niu Jinxing spoke, and Yu Hualong naturally had to agree, so Li Shaoxian's fate was decided. In fact, Li Shaoxian is very willing to stay here to make contributions, in this era, leaving a name in history is the highest pursuit of scholars. Li Shaoxian is both civil and military, so it is naturally impossible to be the captain of the guard for a lifetime, Niu Jinxing has a sense of teaching, and Yu Hualong is a little righteous, so he naturally wants to repay it. Staying here and running this place into another overseas territory of the Ming Dynasty is the best reward for them. Therefore, when Li Shaoxian saw a knife and a bull with a bitter face there, he made up his mind.

Niu Venus thought about the rubber tree again, so he asked Yidao: "Yidao, we want to find a kind of tree, but we haven't seen it here, I don't know if you've heard of it?" It's the kind of tree that is so tall that white sap comes out when you cut the bark, you know? ”

Yidao said: "The tree you are talking about is probably the 'weeping tree' in our south, there is definitely not one here, it grows in the south, that kind of tree is poisonous, few people plant it, you can see it along the coast to the south." ”

Niu Venus was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Hualong: "It seems that what Your Majesty said is right, this kind of tree is only found in hot places, it seems that we must sail south along this coastline, according to the chart drawn by Your Majesty, we can go back along the equator line." ”

Got the consent of Niu Jinxing and Yu Hualong, a knife and a bull went to find Li Shaoxian, the two of them carried the good wine bought from the Ming army, plus the best food, found the best restaurant in San Diego, and specially invited Li Shaoxian, according to the discussion of the two, only Li Shaoxian is the real head of the family here, both of them are Li Shaoxian's right-hand man, Li Shaoxian became the governor here, and the city of San Diego was also renamed New Luoyang.
