The beach on the coast is like a golden ribbon around the emerald green land, extending infinitely to the horizon, and the salty sea breeze blows the branches and leaves of the island's coconut palms, betel nuts and palms, and the white clouds of the sky are also fluttering fast.

The shore here is shallow, and the big ships must not dare to move forward from a distance of dozens of feet, let alone shore, so as not to touch the bottom.

Looking at the coast, Liao Shi first instructed: "Feng Cai led a team of people to look for fresh water, and then hunted some game to improve the food. ”

Feng Cai answered, and led some sailors and soldiers to lower the island first, and then put down the rope ladder, and led his men to the shore.

After an hour, Feng Cai came back with a few soldiers in a small boat, and said in a big boat: "Leader, Wang Gongzi, my subordinates have inspected the island within a radius of more than ten miles, and there is no trace of the natives, and it is very safe!" ”

Liao Shi nodded first and ordered: "Send the flag, except for the personnel on duty stationed on duty, the rest of each ship will go to the island to rest for two days." ”

After the flag was played, the boats cheered.

I haven't been on land for many days, and I feel real groundedness when I step on land, but I have stayed in the boat for a long time, because the balance system of the brain is unbalanced, and there is a sense of boat jolting in my mind when I walk to the ground.

Stepping on the land, Wang Zhe looked at the land in front of him, and at the same time pointed to a few people around him, and ordered: "A few of you take the stonemasons to the mountain over there to engrave words, remember to bring a few more people, bring all the weapons, so as not to have any accidents!" ”

After measuring the order, several people were busy.

Listening to Wang Zhe's instructions, Liao Shixian was very puzzled: "What does Hou Ye mean by this, he ordered us to go to the big island, let us chisel words in the mountains, and let us stand on the pre-made stone tablet on the surface when we arrive at the uninhabited island where there is no grass." ”

Wang Zhe didn't understand what Lotte meant, but said: "Master Hou has always done things in a measured manner, and he is also very accurate, and he will never be untargeted, let's just do what we are told!" ”

Feng Cai's mind was flexible, and he said: "According to the small guess, isn't Hou Ye Mo expanding the territory for my Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Obviously, Feng Cai guessed correctly, Lotte is "expanding its territory".

According to the orthodox sense, the concept of the state is the result of the development of modern politics and politics, the country has its generation, development, and stereotyped process, the traditional meaning of China was born in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, developed in the Han and Tang dynasties, and was stereotyped in the Ming and Qing dynasties, until the modern era of later generations, and even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the surrounding barbarians were all orthodox and regarded as the suzerain, so China only had the concept of the state, not the concept of territory.

It was not until China lagged behind the World Office and encountered the real opponents of the Western powers that it was forced to produce the concept of territory, and concluded a series of border office treaties with a series of large and small powers, as well as Goryeo occupied by Dongying, and it was not a very complete treaty that formed the concept of territory, but it was also this series of incomplete treaties that caused a lot of trouble for China in later generations to inherit the mantle of Huaxia Ming, and also caused a series of wars or tensions.

However, whenever there are territorial disputes between China and neighboring countries in later generations, the four words "since ancient times" are regarded as a mantra and hung on the lips of the media and political figures, although in reality this cannot be proved at all, nor can it be regarded as effective evidence, but it always occupies a commanding heights of righteousness, and those small countries and widows in Southeast Asia have to fight for islands with China in the South China Sea, and the fact is that even the history of his ancestors for three generations cannot be clarified, let alone what has been since ancient times.

Every place in the mountains to chisel words, to the uninhabited islands where no grass grows to set up steles, this is also the practice of Lotte helpless, if the time and space of the Chinese descendants of the good to fight, if like his first generation of Chinese descendants so not competitive, especially in the Manchu Qing Dynasty will cede a large area of land to people, the noisy South China Sea into the sky of chickens and dogs, they might as well throw some stone tablets on these islands, so that future generations whenever they say "since ancient times" when a little more confidence.

The third winter ...... of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty

The rocks on the coast, each word in a string are three feet square, which is eye-catching.

……

The two days of rest on the island were not pure rest, except for more than a dozen Shizhu Mountain chiseling, the rest of the people either collected fresh water, or hunted for meat to supplement the ship's needs, and at the same time, there were special people who were responsible for drawing sea charts for future use, and some people went to collect wild vegetables and wild fruits.

Collecting wild vegetables and fruits is what Lotte commands, and it must be carried out. Because eating fresh vegetables and fruits at sea for a long time will cause vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in the ancient West, before figuring out what vitamins are, sailors often die of sepsis due to vitamin deficiency on sea voyages, so this has to be prevented.

In fact, in ancient China, when going to sea, the sailors were tired of eating fish and meat, and the chefs often gave birth to bean sprouts to change the taste, so Huaxia was not worried about this, but it was better to pay attention just in case.

Anchor and set sail, this time with the Luzon coastline as a road signpost, just sail along the coastline.

In fact, it was not until the early years of the Ming Dynasty that Luzon established a real state, and it can be said that the current Luzon is still in a primitive social state.

Driving along the coastline of Luzon, Wang Zhe and others along the way also met some indigenous tribes of Luzon, these aborigines are short and dark-skinned, holding extremely primitive stone axes tied to wooden sticks with stones, hunting and fishing for a living, Wang Zhe and others tried to communicate with these dwarf blacks, only to find that these dwarf blacks are similar to the legendary savages, completely living a primitive life, and can't trade anything good with the fleet.

In line with the idea that thieves will not go empty, Wang Zhe ordered people to take some porcelain jars and trade some wild beast meat with these dwarf blacks, and painted portraits of these little black men before leaving.

These are all commands from Lotte before the fleet leaves.

Driving south along the Luzon coastline, Liao Shixian found that this place was no longer a large landmass, but a cluster of islands, and when Liao Shixian did not know where to go, he saw a small boat floating on the sea, and a swarthy indigenous boy beckoned to him.

Looking at this swarthy boy, Liao Shi first found that although this indigenous boy was black, the dwarf black man he met before was much whiter and taller, and he was not afraid of people when he looked at it, and then looked at the boat he rowed, which clearly cut a tree in half, hollowed out the heart of the tree, and became a small boat.

A child is his own, Liao Shixian naturally didn't pay attention to it, and ordered: "Put down the boat, take the interpreter and ask this child what kind of place is here?" ”

Feng Cai took a few sailors and an interpreter to get off the boat and talk to the native boy, but even the interpreter didn't know what the native boy was talking about.

However, the indigenous boy was very bold, and after they couldn't understand each other's language, they called out and took out an object the size of half a little finger to show Feng Cai.

As soon as Feng Cai saw this thing, his eyes immediately straightened, and he said, "Are you going to exchange this for me?" ”

Although he couldn't understand what Feng Cai was saying, the native nodded and made a gesture of handing over the money and the goods in one hand.

Seeing that this was what the indigenous boy meant, Feng Cai took out a porcelain bowl and handed it to the indigenous boy, and at the same time said, "How about I exchange this with you?" ”

The indigenous boy nodded, took the porcelain bowl in Feng Cai's hand, handed the things in his hand to Feng Cai, sang something, and rowed the small canoe into the distance.

Seeing that the indigenous boy had gone away, Feng Cai's eyes narrowed into a slit, and his mouth was even more happy: "Master, I have made a fortune, and I exchanged a worthless broken bowl for a valuable gold bead!" ”

After speaking, his eyes swept over the crowd and said with a smile: "Have you ever seen silver, white, and pink pearls, but have you ever seen golden pearls?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Feng Cai went back to the boat with joy to report, and Liao Shixian and the others were also amazed when they saw it, but they didn't care, and ordered: "Follow the child's boat all the way!" ”

The big boat rowed and walked behind the child, and soon came to a place where there was a river to release into the sea, where there was a small tribe, and in the mouth of the sea you could see many small boats fishing, and it seemed that it was a primitive tribe that fished from the sea for a living.

When the water is shallow here, the big ship can't get to the shore, so it can only be moored in the water, Liao Shixian and Wang Zhe ordered someone to take the goods off the ship and take a small boat to the shore.

This time it was Feng Cai who led the team, and when he went to the shallow water, the water was transparent, Feng Cai saw that there were lip shells the size of a ruler at the bottom of the sea, and he copied it with a fishing man, took out the dagger at his waist, and then broke it hard along the gap in the shell, and the shell was divided into two, at this moment, Feng Cai's eyes widened, and his appearance gradually became ugly.

Only in the flesh of the shell, there were several beads with a glow of red gold lying on the shell, and at this time, because the shell was pried open, the golden beads were shining with the painful shaking of the shell.

At this moment, Feng Cai has only one idea, dang!

The beads of this shell are obviously much larger than the one that the indigenous children exchanged with themselves, and goodbye to the bottom of this sea, there seem to be countless shells like this, and it is obvious that there are not a few such beads......

It turns out that the natives who live in the original tribe and are like primitive people can also deceive people......

Seeing Feng Cai scoop up a shell with golden beads, several sailors in the same company also began to pick up the shell.

Later generations mentioned the characteristics of the Philippines, and they must mention the golden pearls produced in the waters near Palawan, which were innumerable during the Song Dynasty.

The natives on the shore were very nervous at first when they saw the boats coming, but when they saw that the people on the boats were not hostile, they began to relax, and then the leader of the tribe came over with a group of young and strong tribal youths to negotiate.

Although the two sides couldn't understand each other's words, they could still understand the gestures of making a transaction, and the pen was to see the porcelain, silk, cloth, and knives and axes that Feng Cai took out, as well as knives and axes that could cut plants and trees, and the eyes of these natives who were dressed in animal skins and used stone tools lit up.

They all took out the good things at home and exchanged them, a piece of gold for a porcelain bowl, a dozen intact animal skins for a piece of cloth, and even a five-colored head rope could be exchanged for a handful of finger-sized golden pearls......

"Stay here for a few more days, and pay attention to where these natives got their gold!" After discussing with Wang Zhe, Liao Shi made a decision first.

Wang Zhe nodded and added: "Be careful of these natives, a child in his teens can deceive Feng Cai, and those indigenous adults are afraid that they will not be scheming." ”

Because of the pearl matter, Feng was laughed at by the whole fleet for a whole day.
