Early the next morning, Li Zicheng took his own soldiers and boarded the transport ship of the navy, and in order to transport more soldiers, Li Ji borrowed three small boats from the fishing team.

Liu Yunshui was worried about Li Zicheng's safety, so he had to follow him to the island to have a look, but the loading of six ships was limited, and even if the horses were abandoned, they could only transport 100 soldiers.

Li Ji also wanted to accompany him, but Li Zicheng did not allow it, so he still hurried to build a county government for Tian Tianhao.

Just left the dock, less than half a mile, the sea is already a cool breeze, the newborn sun falls on the waves of the sea, pale yellow and yellow, there seem to be countless cauliflower snakes on the sea, swaying towards the transport ship to swim quickly, at the moment when you are just about to watch carefully, but it is gone, replaced by a new snake behind.

The boatman was unhurried, and rowed for about an hour and a half, when a huge boulder appeared leisurely in front of him, suspended on the sea, and He Mi shouted excitedly: "Sea turtle, what a big sea turtle!" ”

The boatman, who had been silent, suddenly laughed, "Master Jun, this is not a turtle, but Longju Island!" ”

"Ryukoma Island? Arrived so soon? Li Zicheng looked into the distance, Longju Island was indeed like a huge turtle suspended on the sea, he took off the binoculars, and looked at the eyepieces, the island was verdant, and his eyes were full of green.

Turning the lens, I swept around, but I still couldn't see clearly, there was only a piece of green in the lens, as if Danqing was making gouache paintings, and the green fields were next to the green fields, hazy.

He Xiaomi made a big face, smiled and fixed his eyes on Longju Island, and went to see his "turtle".

After less than a pillar of incense, Longju Island has become clear, and the naked eye can see the ancient trees on the mountain, and among the ancient trees, a thatched hut faintly appears, as if it is deliberately hidden in the forest, and only a corner can be exposed.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "This Zhou Kun, I really will enjoy it, and he has built such a poetic military camp on the island so quickly!" ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in the wind, faintly, listening carefully, it seemed to be mixed with the crisp impact sound of the blade, He Xiaomi suddenly became nervous, his face turned pale, and he had already pulled out the saber on his waist.

The boatman laughed again, "Don't be nervous, this is a naval army training, in the deep sea, how can there be Mongolians?" ”

He Xiaomi smiled again, scratched her hair, and slowly inserted the saber back into the scabbard, "Why can't you see the ship, what the hell is the navy doing?" ”

The boatman paddled backwards with his oars, and the two blades brought out four whirlpools, and while he was retracting the oars forward, he shrank back, took a slight breath, and said, "The sailor is on the other side of Longju Island, across Longju Island, how can you see it?" ”

After a while, the transport ship paused a little and landed in the northeast direction of Ryukoma Island.

This is a shallow tidal flat, with the naked eye, the mud and sand are faintly visible, the side of the boat has passed, the sculls have brought out two muddy slurries, and the boat Li Zicheng is on is fully loaded, and the draft # is very deep, and it was originally unreliable.

But the tidal flat has obviously been treated artificially, where the ship docked, a deep ditch was dug, and more than ten steps along the tidal flat were taken, and there were several rows of vertically placed square trees on the shore, similar to a gangplank, for passengers to get on and off, equivalent to a simple dock.

Li Zicheng, with the support of He Xiaomi, got off the boat first, and the soldiers also got off the boat afterwards.

The boatman was sitting in the back row, not moving, he arched his hand to Li Zicheng, "The adults and go along the mountain road, and the villain will go along the sea road to inform Zhou Zongqi." ”

Li Zicheng looked around, as far as his eyes could see, the terrain was generally quite flat, but the rocks were in the road, the parts were rugged, and most of them were covered in the green grass, no wonder from the sea, the whole island was green.

Along the path between the trees, turn left and right, and walk for more than a mile, before I came to a quaint thatched hut, "Hey, this doesn't look like a newly built military camp, could it be that there were residents on the island in the first place?" Who lives in such a place? ”

If there are any inhabitants on the island, it is a paradise.

It's a pity that with the arrival of the West Sea Army, this paradise may be difficult to live in peace again, I hope Zhou Kun's damage to the environment on the island is not too serious.

The door of the thatched hut is hidden, there were originally several big red characters on the lintel, which were obviously chiseled by knives and axes, but the damage was not serious, Li Zicheng carefully distinguished, it seems to be the three words of "Shatuo Temple", the left side of the word "Tuo" has been cut off, and can only rely on the understanding, but the word "temple" is clearly visible.

Is it a temple?

The Han people will not build temples on the West Sea, this is not their traditional place of life, on the coast of the West Sea, but there are mostly Tibetans, if it is a temple, I am afraid that it was built by Tibetans.

Li Zicheng was hesitating, the temple door was suddenly pushed open, and a man wearing a white gauze hat and a blue-gray apron tied around his waist hurried out, and saw a large group of people standing in front of the door, and was taken aback, "You are ......

"Blind your dog's eyes, I don't even know the Lord of Qianhu!" He Xiaomi's eyes widened, his brows furrowed, and he stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the chef-like person.

The man rubbed his eyes with the back of his fingers, and when he looked at it, it was Li Zicheng, and he hurriedly crawled to the ground, "My subordinates knock on my lord, my subordinates are the firefighters of Longju Island!" ”

"Get up, don't be nervous!" Li Zicheng smiled faintly, and when the firefighter got up, Fang said, "You have been cooking for your brothers here?" ”

"Yes, sir...... Although his subordinates are firefighters, they also have to go to the sea every other day for training! ”

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was amused by Zhou Kun's novelty, the firefighters took turns cooking and training, both of which were correct, but although he frowned, "This thatched hut is obviously not newly built, what about the owner of the house?" It can't be an ownerless hut, right? ”

"This ......"

Li Zicheng saw that he was hesitant, knowing that there must be something hidden, in front of everyone, it was not good to ask again, so he said: "Go into the house, talk slowly!" ”

The firefighters led Li Zicheng into the thatched hut, through the hall, there was still one in the back, and between the two entrances, there was a courtyard more than ten steps wide, and many tables and chairs were placed in the courtyard, which looked like a temporary reception hall.

Li Zicheng found a clean chair to sit on, and asked with a smile: "Say, what's going on with this thatched hut?" ”

The fireman kowtowed again, and then whispered.

This was originally a monk temple, there were three Tibetan monks living in the temple, after Zhou Kun landed on the island, he disagreed with those monks, in a rage, all the monks were killed, the scriptures and utensils were all destroyed, after a simple transformation, it became the house and barracks of the water army, the red letters above the temple door, they also destroyed it with knives and guns.

"You go down and get busy first!" Li Zicheng waved his hand, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, the navy was training in the West Sea, and it was also appropriate to occupy Longju Island, Longju Island was originally a borderless land, and whoever actually controlled it first was whoever actually controlled it.

But the monks on the island were killed, it seems that there is something undeserved, and the Xining army has killed countless people, but it is not indiscriminately killing innocents!

In particular, on the coast of the West Sea, there are still Tibetans, and Tibetan Buddhism is quite sacred in the hearts of Tibetans.

Even in Xining, where the Xining army was completely controlled, Li Zicheng did not completely use force, naturalized Tibetans and changed to worship God, but adopted the principle of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", letting the chairmen of the temples speak out themselves, and using their influence to gradually implement it, at least to curb the further development of Buddhism in Xining.

Xining's opponents, not only the Mongols, but also an extremely large Ming court, at such a critical moment, Li Zicheng temporarily did not want to be the enemy of the Tibetans, at least not to go to the edge of war, in his mind, the unity of the Tibetans, combat effectiveness, or stay in the Tang Dynasty.

With Li Shimin's wisdom and martial arts, he still had to let Princess Wencheng enter Tibet and kiss, and finally the Tang Dynasty could beat the Turks in the north and flee, and after the split, it was played by the Tang Dynasty and the palm of the hand, but the southern Tubo, the Tang Dynasty was helpless, Tocharo, the big and small Bolu, etc., these Tang Dynasty hometowns, no longer appear in the classics of the central country, it is because of the Tibetan country founded by the Tibetans.

But since things have happened, no matter how entangled it is, it is useless, Zhou Kun is a member of the Xining Army, and his behavior, the Xining Army must pay!

Zhou Kun still did not return from the training at sea, so Li Zicheng took Liu Yunshui and his soldiers to wander around the island, but the tea kung fu had come to the end of the east-west direction, and it was really more than two miles long.

Although the island is rocky and overgrown with weeds, the entire surface of the island is quite flat, and if a road can be developed, the island should be a good tourist destination.

In the center, Shatuo Temple is surrounded by trees, the big trees are simple and towering, and there are also wrist-thick saplings, looking at the growth of the trees, as well as the weeds are everywhere, overgrown in every corner, it is not difficult for Li Zicheng to deduce that the rain on the island is quite abundant, otherwise, it is difficult to have such a growth.

Near the temple wall less than a hundred steps in the bushes, there is a spring, the spring is not big, but the water flow is very fast, has rushed out of a pond with a radius of more than ten zhang on the ground, He Mi bent down, held the spring water to taste, is a rare fresh water.

While Li Zicheng was amazed by the magic of nature, he was thinking that of course he was not trying to develop arable land on the island, although there was fresh water on the island, but to grow crops in such a beautiful scenery was tantamount to planting a ridge of garlic in the back garden of a high-end villa.

He was still thinking about the Shatuo Temple that was destroyed by Zhou Kun.

Tibetans don't have boats, how to get on Longju Island? There is only fresh water on Ryukoma Island, and there are no crops, so what do they do on the island? Is it just to catch fish on the tidal flats? Tibetans believe in the Buddha, and if they become a monk in a temple, don't they not kill?

In the era when there were no ships, good men and women could not come to the island to give alms, and the monks practiced on the island, did they just fancy this treasure of feng shui?

Legend has it that the island can produce dragon foals and horses, Li Zicheng did not find any clues on the island, there are freshwater springs on the island, there are a lot of pastures, but there is no trace of horses, dragon foals and horses are just a legend.

The time he has been on the island for too short a time, and there are still many places that he has not checked carefully, and these questions can only be explained after Zhou Kun comes.
