Chapter 768: A Parting Entrustment

This guy is still very obscenely This is to let the wind blow the sand into his eyes, in contrast, this son can only take a white eye to despise this goods, and then beckoned the eldest cousin Gao Cheng and Lao Wu to board my carriage together. Under the protection of hundreds of guards, they rushed straight to the dock northeast of Chang'an City.

Inside the carriage, the kettle on the iron stove was steaming, and the two buddies finally calmed down after taking a sip of fragrant tea. Feeling a little embarrassed, they took the tissue I handed over and wiped their faces.

"Big cousin, Gorou, I will be here for at least three years before I can return, but I will have to work hard for you." I sat comfortably cross-legged in the carriage, rested the tea cup in my hand in the special fixed tea tray, and said to the two of them.

"Shiro, what did you say, Brother and Gorou are both royal relatives, and the country has something, how can you do it without poking your strength? This trip to Luzon is just the time for me to show my skills, and my brother has long wanted to see the scenery of the southern country that you said. After the eldest cousin Gao Cheng wiped his face, he finally recovered his beating heart, and he was very radiant.

Well, it seems that this eldest cousin's life has been hard enough during this time. My uncle is mainly to blame. My uncle's family education is very strict, which I have seen, and I have almost never had a good face for my children, and my cousins are often cleaned up by my uncle.

Therefore, when my uncle was in Jiaozhi in the past, these cousins were very high-spirited and often lingered in the Goolan Pavilion. In Chang'an, he can be regarded as a merry and talented man who has broken through the name of Nuo. But the problem is that when my uncle returned to Chang'an, several cousins saw my uncle like a mouse seeing a cat, languishing, and lost his former glory.

Even my eldest cousin once came to me in private and asked if he could arrange for him to stay away from Chang'an, so as not to be reprimanded by his father every day, which made him feel that life had become too dark. But before my uncle just came back, my son threw his eldest cousin far away, even if my uncle didn't say it, my mother would definitely have to mumble

So I can only let the eldest cousin endure it for the time being. And this time, when my uncle decided to send one of his sons to Luzon with the fifth child of my family, several cousins almost broke their heads for this place, and in the end, the eldest cousin who already had three babies came out on top.

Finally, he can break free from his father's clutches and go to the free world of Luzon to wield his ingenuity.

"Big cousin, the younger brother knows that you are a great talent in both civil and military affairs, so this time I went to Luzon, military and political affairs, I am afraid that you will have to work a lot to help Goro."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely help His Highness." The eldest cousin nodded, and bowed to me with a stern face.

"No need to be polite, there are no outsiders here, just call me Shiro." I waved my hand, and then took out two copies of the decree written in yellow silk from my bosom and handed them to the two of them.

"The edict of the commissioner of Wulang as the governor of Luzon, and this is the edict of the cousin of the commission, you as the commander of the Luzon expeditionary force. Gorou, you have to remember that it is the most important thing to advocate education and education, to prohibit the speaking of the local language, and to prohibit the culture of the tribes of the islands. As long as you can do it well, for a maximum of thirty or fifty years, those local barbarians will also take the initiative to regard themselves as members of the Chinese nation......"

Cultural aggression, which is definitely an important means of conquest and colonization, why are there so many countries in the world that believe in Jesus in later generations? It was the missionaries who spread the ideas of the past. They used their culture and religion to brainwash and hypnotize those colonies, and more importantly, to assimilate them.

In the future, people of all colors in the Pacific region will speak an authentic Guanzhong dialect, write well with a brush, and open their mouths are Confucius and Mencius. How good this is, it is simply the trend of the world to be the same.

Soon they came to the river, and at this time, a group of fierce soldiers on the edge of the pier were marching towards the ships docked on the pier. Here was a brigade, in which there was also a firearms regiment, with twenty-four small cannons, and two battalions of cuirassiers, with the force of the firearms regiment alone. Not to mention defending the city, even if it is used to attack the city, this firearms battalion is enough.

Standing in front of the dock, I took Lao Wu Wuyi's hand, looked at his still young and ambitious face, and solemnly admonished: "Lao Wu, this Janissary Guard brigade, a total of more than 6,000 horses, I will hand it over to you, and there is another division of troops that have been stationed on Luzon Island before, with them, it is enough for you to sweep the entire Nanyang Islands." When dealing with the natives on the Nanyang Islands, don't have compassion in your heart, and if you don't accept it, you will fight until they are convinced......"

“…… Kindness, that is to their own people, those natives of the Nanyang Islands do not know how to educate and do not know etiquette. What's more, they regard me as an enemy, so don't be soft-hearted. ”

While listening to my advice, the fifth child was constantly bowing his head. "Brother, don't worry, every month the younger brother will write a letter, if there is anything, even if you are not in a hurry to inform your brother, the younger brother will discuss with the eldest cousin."

"Well, that's good, remember, you are going on behalf of me, on behalf of the authority of His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese Empire." I let out a long breath, patted the old man on the shoulder again, and nodded at my eldest cousin, before watching the two of them lead their respective servants towards the docks.

A quarter of an hour later, the elite fleet carrying Lao Wu, his eldest cousin and a brigade left the dock, and went down the Wei River towards the Yellow River.

The fifth child departs directly from Chang'an, and then goes to sea through the mouth of the Yellow River, then changes to board a sea ship, and then detours the coast to Quanzhou for replenishment, and then arrives at the big island of Taiwan for inspection, and then enters Luzon Island. Technicians have been dispatched from Luzon to inspect the construction of railroads from the mines to the wharves.

At present, there are more than 50,000 indigenous people on Luzon, of whom a quarter are young and middle-aged, one-third are working in the mines in the dark, another third are continuing to expand the permanent wharf, and a third are building houses and fences.

Today, the fort on the island of Luzon near the pier is nearing completion, is expected to accommodate more than 50,000 people, and is made of brick and stone concrete for both the walls and the main body of the houses.

On Luzon Island, there are almost no resistance forces, because this division, which had been on the island as early as last year, has combed the entire Luzon back and forth several times, and those who originally had the strength to resist are now disgraced and obedient.

After the arrival of the fifth child of my family, with the elite troops of the Praetorian Guard sitting in Luzon, this expeditionary division will be scattered and begin to march to other islands that have resisted behavior, and then clear the local resistance forces to maintain the safety of the military and people of our Chinese Empire.

Half a month later, I received a pigeon letter from Quanzhou, my elder brother Wuyi, my eldest cousin Gao Cheng, and the Praetorian Guards have all arrived safely in Quanzhou Port, and after replenishment, they will go to the big island of Taiwan, where they will stay for one to two months to inspect the production and life of the people on this island, and then they will set off from here directly to Luzon Island.

After saying goodbye to the fifth child, my mother was unhappy for several days, well, I talked to my mother, and my mother also looked like she was ignoring her, it seems that I must still be blaming my brother for fleeing away from the ocean by my younger brother.

But fortunately, my two mothers-in-law coaxed and persuaded me, and finally made my mother feel better. After that, Ben Gongzi proposed that after New Year's Day, our family would take the train to Yan'an for a visit.

"Husband, what's there to do in Yan'an County?" Yaoguang's eyes lit up, like a child who hadn't grown up, the eldest girl and the second girl also came over, three pairs of bright eyes looked at me, and the mother who was still a little depressed on the side couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

"I played a lot, and do you remember the kind of puff pastry that your mother brought back from Yan'an County last time, that taste, I still remember it for my husband." Ben Gongzi could only try to hold back the smile in his stomach.

"Ahh That's right, the concubine remembered it, I have eaten several Chang'an baked cakes, but I don't have that smell. After the Yaoguang girl nodded excitedly, she turned her face and came to my mother's side and began to persuade my mother for me.

"It's good to go out for a walk, but ah, the Wu family is not in a good mood during this time, and the old body has to go to see it often." The mother was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, let the Yaoguang girl go there in person tomorrow and talk to the Wu family well, it's not a matter of staying at home all day." I patted my chest and reassured.

My mother thought about it and felt that there was no reason to refuse, so she simply nodded in agreement, in addition, I also wanted to ask my sister to go with me, but when Yaoguang sister went back to visit Tang Gong Li Yuan, she told my sister Wujian about it by the way.

It's a pity that Li Yuan has just returned from Shanxi not long ago, and Li Shimin's brothers have just been reunited, and when it is time for the Chinese New Year, Queen Dou will come from Shanxi, so naturally there is no way to get out.

But it doesn't matter, just call my sister and brother-in-law next time I have time.

The new steam locomotive has been so successful that it can pull 10 to 12 cars at speeds between 160 and 180 miles per hour. In other words, one day's work can cover almost 4,000 miles.

From Yan'an to Chang'an, it has been directly reduced from more than three hours in the past to two hours, which is directly reduced by one-third, and the carrying capacity is more than double the previous one.
