Sure enough, as Liu Hong predicted, as soon as these two laws were announced, plus Fugui was made a marquis because of the discovery of the New World, and the other crew members on the ship all became barons or viscounts.

For such a thing, Liu Hong is of course happy to hear about it. You must know that these big families have a lot of advantages over those common people in this regard. After all, they have the money to buy their own boats, and once involved, the chances of discovering the location of the island are much greater. In this way, this frenzy can be maintained for a longer time.

People are going to sea one after another, and good news keeps coming. There are a lot of mineral deposits, which have been discovered by everyone who has gone out, making many people become rich overnight, so that this frenzy is even more violent, and more people are willing to go out to try their luck.

Liu Hong is busy guiding the people to go to sea here, and Liu Fu and Dong Zhuo have also completely swept away Java Island. So the two joined forces, turned back, and began to attack Sulawesi, north of the island of Java.

Sulawesi is larger than Java, and it has more people than Java. Therefore, Liu Fu and Dong Zhuo divided their troops into two ways and completely played on this island.

Liu Fu and Dong Zhuo wiped out Java Island and went to Sulawesi Island to sweep wildly. But their move really frightened the countries on the island of Sumatra. The nations headed by Sri Buddha sent envoys to Lu Zhi.

To be honest, Lu Zhi didn't have a good impression of some foreigners. Especially now, they are typically a group of dying people, and Lu Zhi has no heart to deal with them. But the problem is that he can't ignore them now, otherwise, if they despair and completely riot, they may disrupt the arrangements of the army.

You must know that some time ago, when Liu Fu entrusted him to transport prisoners, he had a conversation with him. This Sumatra island, because of the presence of his governor's palace here, can facilitate the supply and transportation of prisoners, and simply put it to the end to be exterminated. And in this way, the island of Sumatra will definitely remain as it is for a long time. After all, Liu Fu's task this time is too heavy, not to mention those countless small islands. The two islands of Sulawesi in the northeast and Borneo in the north are quite large, and it is not something that can be done in a short period of time if they are all wiped out. Therefore, in his opinion, within two or three years, Liu Fu and them will not be able to come up to the island of Sumatra.

"Well, anyway, let's stabilize them first." Thinking of this, Lu Zhi called those envoys over and began to appease them, "Fellow envoys, our Han is reasonable, and we never send troops to the country for no reason. And this time to send troops, there is really no way, those countries, not only bullied our Han people, but also refused to admit their mistakes, and we only punished them when we had repeated negotiations to no avail. Therefore, you envoys don't have to worry at all, as long as your country treats the people of the Han people who go to you well, we are friends, and nothing bad will happen. ”

After listening to Lu Zhi's words, those messengers put a little bit of heart. Then, he began to inquire about the specific battle situation, "Lord Governor, I don't know what the Han is going to attack and what purpose he wants to achieve when he goes on this expedition?" As far as we know, the island of Java to the east of us has been completely wiped out by you, and now that you have arrived on Sulawesi again, are you going to completely exterminate it?! ”

"Isn't this nonsense, if you don't extinguish it, what are we bothering to do? Is it playing with them! After listening to the questions of those envoys, Lu Zhi scolded for a while, "Envoys, in our Han Dynasty, the military and the government are separated, the army does not interfere in politics, and the government does not interfere in the army. Therefore, we civilian officials do not know the specific situation about these military affairs, and we cannot answer you. But generally speaking, as long as they are interested and hurry up to admit their mistakes to our Majesty, our Majesty will not kill them all. I think that the envoys should be well aware of this. ”

Listening to Lu Zhi's words, those messengers nodded secretly. You know, last time, these countries were almost no different from being defeated. But as soon as their king bowed his head and agreed to pay compensation, the Han immediately stopped attacking. But how do they know that at that time, there were really not so many people in the Han Dynasty, and they occupied their place, so they wanted to temporarily use colonial methods to control them here. However, the disturbance in Luzon directly made Liu Hong make up his mind to completely eliminate these hidden dangers.

Although I didn't get any detailed information, I also knew that these countries were safe. So they all went back to their errands in high spirits. And unlike them, Gan Ning sat on the boat, but he was worried.

Due to the instigation of his subordinates, Gan Ning led the fleet and searched northeast. But this search, more than 20 days, not to mention the island, even the larger reef, they did not find it. At this moment, Gan Ning really didn't know what to do. If he was ordered to look for it and he couldn't find it, it didn't matter. But in this operation, he had selfish intentions and took people to the northeast to search without authorization. If he finds the island, it will be nothing, but if he goes back empty-handed, he will lose face completely.

"Well, I really shouldn't have listened to them." Gan Ning sat in the cabin and couldn't help but sigh, "The task over there is so heavy, it can't be completed in a short time. If I destroy the Northern Mariana Islands, I will go back and hand in the order, can I miss the mission? Why is it like this, it can't advance or retreat! ”

However, Gan Ning also knows that the most important thing in this matter is to blame himself. If he hadn't wanted to lead the team too much and enjoy the feeling of being in power, this incident wouldn't have happened.

"Well, let's look for another day, and if I haven't found it, I'll return home. Although going back empty-handed will lose some face, but losing some face is better than delaying business! ”

Gan Ning was anxious in the cabin, and those who were waiting for Gan Ning were even more anxious. You must know that their original intention was to make more contributions outside, so that they could return to the army, and they wanted those acquaintances to show off and increase their face. But in this situation, not to mention raising face, if they don't lose face, even if they burn high incense, how can they stand it. So, all of them, one by one, they all stood on the deck with binoculars and looked into the distance.

"Hey, what's that?" A sharp-eyed general, seeing that there seemed to be a situation in the distance, pointed there and began to shout, "Look, everyone, that little black dot in front of you, isn't it an island?!" ”

Hearing this, all the people raised their binoculars and looked at the place where the general was pointing.

"Yes, it's an island, it's an island!" After looking forward to it for so many days, I finally saw the island, and everyone shouted excitedly, "Hurry, hurry, go and report to the general, and make the general happy!" ”

Everyone also knew about Gan Ning's depression, and now that the island was discovered, those generals immediately ran to report to Gan Ning.

"General, general, the island has been discovered, the island has been discovered!"

"What, found the island?" Hearing this, Gan Ning almost jumped up with joy, and asked as he ran out, "Where is the island, where is the island, is it big?" ”

"Look, General, the island is over there." Saying that, those generals began to guide Gan Ning, "General, it seems that that the island is not small, and there are definitely a lot of people on it. ”

"Okay, as long as there are people on the island." Seeing that there was indeed an island in front of him, Gan Ning was relieved, at least, he could make a deal this time, so that he would not lose face again, "Brothers, speed up and move forward with all your might, let's get to that island as soon as possible!" ”

"The general has an order, go full speed!"

"Full speed ahead!"

With an order, the fleet increased its horsepower and began to rush towards the island. It didn't take long for them to reach the island.

"Brothers, give me a good search, catch all of them when I see someone, don't let any of them go!"

"It's the general, don't let anyone go!"

After staying on the ship for so long, those soldiers would have been suffocated for a long time. Now Gan Ning gave an order, and they roared, and rushed out of the boat and went to the island to sweep away.

Of course, it can't be just a sweep, and the scouts have to be sent out. After all, knowing about a place like this that has never been discovered is much more important than catching a few slaves on it. Therefore, Gan Ning also sent a lot of scouts, including water and land routes, so be sure to find out everything here.

As the scouts continued to send information, Gan Ning's mood became happier and happier, "I, there are not only people on this island, but also quite a few. The most important thing is that after preliminary judgment, there is not only this one island in the vicinity, there are seven or eight large islands alone, and there must be more than a hundred small islands. This time, I can finally make a difference! ”

Although there are more than 100 islands, it is not too many. But these islands, unlike the previous ones, are never-before-discovered. Even if it is Gan Ning, I don't know what policy Liu Hongxin promulgated. But he also knew that the credit for discovering so many unknown islands was definitely more than occupying those discovered islands.

More than a hundred islands, even if they are not large, it is not easy to completely sweep them clean. Therefore, Gan Ning held his temper and swept wildly on these islands. But he didn't know that in this way, Liu Fu was in a hurry. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe (this site), reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
