Chapter 32 Silver Ships

Yes, now Li Zhen does control the most powerful fleet in the Tang Dynasty, and Yindao is isolated overseas, as long as the navy is sent to defend it, the enemy will definitely have no way to take Yindao.

But then what? It's easy to guess.

After all, the mined silver ore will be transported back to Datang and Chang'an. But where is Chang'an? On the Guanzhong Plain, the Guanzhong Plain is located deep inland, on the Loess Plateau, and the sea is far away. Even if you land from the nearest port of Dengzhou, it will be hundreds of miles from Dengzhou to Chang'an, and if the enemy really rivets enough strength to oppose Datang, they will have the opportunity to destroy it for hundreds of miles along the way.

Even if it doesn't work once, but the silver mine can't be transported back all at once, and if nothing else, this piece of silver mine can at least supply Datang for hundreds of years...... With so many opportunities, as long as the opponent wins once or twice, it is enough to make Datang lose a lot.

But fortunately, he is now at sea, and his destination is also a wild island with only natives, as long as the loyalty of the person who is allowed to go back to deliver the message, the news of Silver Island should not be able to be transmitted back in a short time. But even so, it will only be half a year at most, because after half a year, whether I find Luzon Island or not, I will return to Lingnan. At that time, the lid will definitely not be able to be covered, not to mention the enemies within the Tang Dynasty at that time, even those small countries around it may stand up and want a piece of the pie.

In other words, I can only help King Yue delay for half a year, I just hope that His Royal Highness King Yue can find a suitable way to deal with it within half a year, otherwise things will be really big.

"Don't talk about that, let's get the ore out of the way." Seeing Liu Renliang's concern, Luo Hansheng hurriedly stood up and played a round: "My lord, regardless of whether the silver mine covers the entire island or not, the news that we have found a super large silver mine must be true." I think the top priority is to send the news back, this is what we have to do, as for what His Highness is going to do after the news returns, let him make up his own mind. ”

Liu Renliang suddenly came to his senses and laughed at himself: "Also, this kind of thing is what His Highness should think, what do I care?" ”

“……”

After three days and nights of continuous mining, ten ships of silver ore were finally loaded, and slowly sailed away from Silver Island and headed back the same way.

"Lord Long, I hope they can have a smooth journey on this trip, and they must send the information to His Highness safely." Looking at the departing fleet, Liu Renliang prayed.

Luo Hansheng comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, this time the people who went back were our carefully selected henchmen, and they also took the route we took when we came, as long as the luck is not particularly bad, there should be no problems if you are careful." ”

"Yes, young master." Liu Lie also said: "What's more, we have sent a full ten ships this time, even if some of them are never a problem, it is absolutely impossible for them to be wiped out...... Oops. ”

"Shut your crow's mouth, you don't talk like that?" Liu Renliang withdrew his fist and didn't have a good airway.

Liu Lie hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Yes, yes, yes, the villain said the wrong ......"

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and for a while, the atmosphere on the shore was much better.

Not to mention how Liu Renliang, who sent away the silver fleet, how to continue his voyage next, and talk about the side of the silver fleet.

The leader of the fleet is called Changkai.

In Liu Renliang's exploration fleet, in addition to the navy on the battleship, it is also an infantry army of eight hundred, this army may not be as elite as the youth army, but it is also Li Zhen transferred from his own guards, and it can be regarded as an elite division.

This time, Li Zhen transferred them to the warship, just to protect the exploration team when conquering the Luzon Islands - after all, the indigenous people of Luzon are still in the uncivilized stage, no different from the savages, barbaric and bloody, and there will even be cannibals, who knows if they will attack the exploration team? The role of the infantry army is to eliminate these dangers and play a deterrent role.

Chang Kai is a captain in this army, and he was born in Tian Shuyuan, but he did not successfully graduate, and was arranged by Li Lizhen into his own guard. As I said before, whether it is the students of Wentian Shuyuan or the members of the Young Army, most of them are trained by Li Zhen to collect orphans from all over the world. In other words, if there is no Li Zhen, nine out of nine of them will have a miserable childhood, and may even die of hunger and cold in a winter. It was Li Zhen who gave them a new life, and he gave them a chance to become a master, so their loyalty to Li Zhen is extremely high, coupled with Li Zhen's clear rewards and punishments, fairness, and generosity, which made them all return to their hearts and be willing to work for Li Zhen.

Chang Kai is one of these people, and he has infinite admiration for Li Zhen, so he was chosen by Liu Renliang to be the leader of this silver transportation fleet.

After leaving Silver Island, Chang Kai knew that he had a great responsibility, and he was cautious along the way, and he didn't even dare to sleep deeply, as long as there was a slight movement on the sea, he would wake up immediately. As soon as he tossed like this, even the rest of the fleet couldn't sleep well, so it was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping along the way, and he almost caused a tragedy in the bombing camp several times.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, after several days of high-intensity sailing, the fleet finally saw the coastline of Yuezhou, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly branded the flag of the ocean-going fleet, revealed their identity, and slowly moved closer to the shore.

However, Chang Kai didn't know that his actions had caused some kind of misunderstanding on the shore......

Huo Zhen is a small official of the Yuezhou City Shipping Division, responsible for the tax work of the third pier, and the main job on weekdays is to be responsible for inspecting the goods when the ship comes, collecting tax and silver according to the proportion, and checking whether the ship is entrained or smuggled. Although this workload is not easy, but fortunately, the salary is not low, and occasionally you can receive a little filial piety from the inspected fleet, and you can live a good life.

What's more, after a frenzy from His Royal Highness King Yue some time ago, the King Kong of the Dou family was slaughtered, which shocked a large number of monkeys. After this incident, the Yuezhou wharf can be said to be clear, and the fleets that used to rely on the arrogance of family power and refused to pay taxes also began to load their grandsons and began to pay taxes honestly. Not only has the income of the city department greatly increased, but also a dock tax collector like him will no longer be discriminated against, but has become the object of those high-spirited big family stewards, and his status has improved a lot compared to before, so Huo Zhen is grateful to King Yue.
