Li Xiu stood at the bow of the ship and looked ahead anxiously, after a few days of sailing, their ship finally came to the sea not far from Liuqiu, just now he had asked the steward of the ship, and the other party assured him that he could reach Liuqiu this afternoon.

But now Li Xiu's mood is very worried, on the one hand, he is excited when he is about to find Qi Niang, and at the same time he is a little annoyed, on the other hand, he is a little worried, because he is really afraid that he will pounce on the island and then be told that Qi Niang has gone to the Americas with Li Chengdao, and he really doesn't know what to do at that time?

The closer he got to Liuqiu, the more apprehensive Li Xiu became, and in the end he could only divert his attention by thinking about other things, such as the Liuqiu Island he was about to arrive, which was actually the Taiwan Island in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, Taiwan Island and Ryukyu in later generations were collectively referred to as Liuqiu, of which Taiwan Island was called Liuqiu Island, to show the difference from Liuqiu.

Liuqiu Island has been discovered by Soochow as early as the Three Kingdoms period, when Sun Quan sent more than 10,000 people to arrive at Liuqiu Island, which was still called Yizhou at that time, but because the population of Soochow was not large at that time, so there was no immigration on Liuqiu Island, until Soochow was destroyed later, only some people ran to settle on Liuqiu Island because of the escape of war.

However, although there were Han people settled in Taiwan a long time ago, the number of Han people on the island has been very small, and even there are often violent fluctuations, which are mainly related to the war in the Central Plains, whenever the Central Plains is in turmoil, people in the coastal area will flee to Taiwan for refuge, and when the war is settled, they will naturally move back, after all, few people are willing to stay away from their homeland.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the war was raging at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were many people in the southeast coastal area who fled to Liuqiu Island with their families, and at that time the bearded man was still the overlord of the sea, and he also fell in love with the location of Liuqiu Island, so he collected the fleeing people on the island and let them live in their own strongholds, which could also ensure their safety, and at the same time he could also recruit people from among the refugees and look for opportunities to seek his hegemony.

However, it is a pity that the bearded guest later saw Li Shimin, and thought that he did not have any chance of settling in the Central Plains, so he could only withdraw gloomily and settle on Tsukushi Island with his family.

Although the bearded guest did not settle in Liuqiu Island, and most of the people loyal to the bearded guest also followed him to Tsukushi Island, but his stronghold here was not removed, and the fleet that usually did business was often replenished on the island, so the influence of the bearded guest on the island was still very strong, even if he went to the Americas and took a group of people from the stronghold on Liuqiu Island, Zhang Shiyi could still rely on the remaining part of the manpower to once again take Liuqiu Island into his own hands.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, begging that the big island was in the hands of Zhang Shiyi, so that the safety of Li Chengdao and Qi Niang could also be guaranteed. Of course, Li Xiu also knew that Zhang Shiyitun was only in charge of the Han stronghold on the island, and most of the area of Liuqiu Island was still occupied by the natives on the island, and these natives were still in an uncivilized state, and even heard that they still retained the custom of cannibalism, and often clashed with the Han people on the island, which was one of the reasons why many Han people were reluctant to settle here.

Thinking about the situation of Liuqiu Island in his mind, Li Xiu's heart slowly calmed down, and when it was afternoon, a vast land appeared on the bow of the ship, if he didn't know in advance that it was Liuqiu Island in front, I am afraid that Li Xiu would still think that there was a continent in front of him, after all, the area of Liuqiu Island was larger than the general state capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing the Liuqiu Island in front of him, Li Xiu's heart was very calm, in this period of Datang, Liuqiu Island was just a lonely and dispensable island for Datang, and even Datang didn't look down on it at all, let alone set up a state capital on the island, which also gave the bearded man and Zhang Shiyi the opportunity to develop on the island.

However, in later generations, this huge island was a problem for the Chinese, and Li Xiu's generation was taught that Taiwan is a treasure island since childhood, and the news media have always promoted cross-strait friendship, which has made Li Xiu have always had a good impression of Taiwan since he was a child.

However, when Li Xiu grew up, he found that he had a good impression of the island of Taiwan, but those so-called Taiwanese on the island did not have any good feelings towards the mainlanders; not only did they wantonly insult and ridicule the mainlanders in ordinary times, but they also had extremely strong hostility towards the mainland, but on the contrary, they had an incomparably favorable impression of Japan, which had invaded them, and the islanders even preferred to be Japanese rather than Chinese.

What is even more annoying is that when Taiwan's economy was not good in later generations, the mainland gave them blood transfusions, and the most representative tourism industry was supported by mainland guests, but instead of appreciating it, these Taiwanese insulted the mainland passengers, and even set himself on fire to a driver, and let dozens of mainland tourists accompany them to the funeral.

What is even more chilling is that after this incident, many people on the island actually applauded the driver, and even clamored to kill all the mainlanders; since then, the attitude of the mainlanders toward Taiwan has begun to change, and some extreme people have even shouted the slogan of "staying on the island without leaving anyone behind." However, instead of being criticized, such a slogan has attracted many people to respond, and it can be seen that ordinary mainlanders hate Taiwanese.

"It's a pity that I didn't see the day when the mainland recovered Taiwan!" Li Xiu looked at the island of Taiwan in front of him, and whispered to himself at the moment, he also hated the Taiwanese very much, and before he crossed, the direction of the wind in China at that time had also changed, and even the country's attitude towards Taiwan began to become tougher.

The steward on Li Xiu's ship was originally Zhang Shiyi's confidant, and it was not the first time he came to Liuqiu Island, so under his command, Li Xiu's ship soon came to a port on the island, but compared to the ports in Yangzhou or Suzhou that Li Xiu had seen, this port on Liuqiu Island was a little too shabby, not only simple, but also not many ships in the port, after all, in addition to Zhang Shiyi's fleet, other maritime merchants would rather go to a big port such as Quanzhou, where it is safer and the goods are easier to get rid of.

After the ship docked at the port, Li Xiu also got off the ship immediately, only to see that Zhang Shiyi, who had already gotten the news, was also waiting on the dock, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately greeted him, and then said something that made Li Xiu almost faint: "Brother Li, you are late, Chengdao and Qi Niang have already left here!" ”
