"A messenger of Manichaeism?"

Ying Tianfu, Zhou Quan put down the official document in his hand and raised his head in some surprise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes, the Manichaean envoy asks for an audience." Li Baowen replied angrily.

After the rotation of several positions, Li Bao was finally transferred back to Zhou Quan, he is already a man with a wife and children, but he is still the same as when he was in Bianjingzhong, he is not very willing to use his brain in everything, and he is more irritable and impulsive in doing things, so although he is brave, except for Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other fierce generals, few can compete with him head-on, but the official is always bad.

"Let him go, no."

"Yes!" Li Bao didn't ask why, and turned around and went back.

He prefers to play by Zhou Quan's side, so that he doesn't have to use his brains, anyway, Zhou Quan will handle all the problems properly, and he doesn't need to use any brains.

After he left, Zhou Quan shook his head, and it was not surprising that the Manichaean Church sent an envoy.

It seems that although Fang La's ambition is still there, he is not so big, he just wants to rule by rowing the river with himself, at most by dividing the Huai.

From the perspective of the strategic situation, Fang La did have the advantage, with an army of about 600,000 people, cutting off the retreat of Yue Fei's 30,000 lone army, and also surrounded Yue Fei's troops from all directions. If it weren't for the abundant grain and grass and military resources carried, Yue Fei's department would have collapsed at this time.

However, Fang La still underestimated Zhou Quan and Yue Fei.

The arrogant Jin people all said that it was easy to shake the mountains and shake the guards, and this difficulty was not only because the guards were well-trained, but also because Yue Fei, who was a brave soldier, had a special appeal.

Yue Fei's 30,000 people were indeed newly recruited road construction workers, otherwise they would not have been able to hide the Manichaean work all over the world, but Fang La did not realize the difference between industrial workers and rural peasants. Rural peasants, without long-term training, have no discipline at all, but industrial workers do not, and discipline is already deeply seared in their hearts in the course of their work.

Maybe Yue Fei's 30,000 people are not enough to attack, but it is more than enough to hold the camp in a short period of time.

As for how short the time is......

Zhou Quan raised his eyes to look at the southeast and said leisurely: "When the time is ripe, they should also move!" ”

To the southeast, across the strait, in the port of Jinshan, six huge transport sailing ships lined up against the pier.

He Tu crossed his arms and stood on the bow of the Qinglong, looking at the sergeants who were boarding, the corners of his mouth curved upward.

Compared with the beginning, He Tu's face was a little more fierce, and a long scar stretched from his left eyebrow to the wing of his nose, almost cutting one of his eyes open.

And beside him, Lu Hai glanced at Li Erbao lazily.

This name is also called Li Bao only because he was separated from Li Bao next to Zhou Quan and changed to Erbao, and now he has become an important general of the Escort Navy, and he is responsible for this big operation.

"I said, in half a day, all 30,000 people can board the ship, you see, this is the last batch, I'm not wrong?" Li Erbao is more than ten years older than Lu Haihetu, but he doesn't dare to slack off on these two.

These two are different from him who defected halfway, they are Zhou Quan's closest array boys, both of whom are originally from Bianjing, and later went to Diqiu with Zhou Quan, and then participated in almost all the battles. Perhaps because of their talents, they are not as meritorious as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, nor can they be on their own like Ye Chu, but after so many years of training, they have also matured and are reliable.

In particular, in the past two years, he and the two of them have presided over the military strategy against Luzon, fighting against those cannibals and profiteers in the tropical jungle. This also stained his hands with a lot of blood, and the total number of Luzon natives slaughtered by the two has exceeded 100,000.

Some people objected to Zhou Quan, thinking that it was too cruel to do so, and Zhou Quan asked if it was these natives who wanted to make money, and first attacked the Han people who immigrated here, not only did not investigate their indiscriminate killing, but publicly gave them a permit: anyone who intruded on the Han colonization here could be disposed of cheaply, without Zhou Quan's approval.

"When you two go back to Jiangnan, I don't know what the situation will be on the Luzon side." Li Erbao thought of their killing name, and asked with a hey.

"Don't worry, I transferred 5,000 Japanese slave soldiers, these slave soldiers are not only hard-working, but also ruthless, I estimate that if you let these Japanese do it, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be no natives on the Luzon side." Lu Hai said with a smile.

"I heard that Duke Zhou allowed the Japanese to immigrate to Luzon?" Li Erbao took the opportunity to ask: "The Japanese are so fierce, he is not afraid of raising tigers?" ”

"What you can think of, Da Lang can't think of it? The so-called permission for the Japanese to immigrate to Luzon was nothing more than a reward for the death of the 5,000 slaves. Da Lang Xu these 5,000 slave soldiers each moved to Luzon three families, the total number is only 20,000, and they will be scattered to settle, in addition, all of them must be replaced with Han surnames and Han names, and future generations also need to receive Chinese education, only ten years, they will not remember that their ancestors are Japanese. Lu Hai smiled: "We don't have enough people, but there are a lot of places to occupy, and we can only do this if necessary--not only that, do you know, even the natives of Luzon, as long as they are docile, Dalang has also been settled." ”

"A group of uncivilized barbarians, just Zhou Gongxian's soft-heartedness, if it were us, we would have slaughtered it a long time ago." Li Erbao said.

Even after studying in Fubo Hall for a few years, this guy can't change his original habits after all, and to put it simply, he is dissatisfied with the fact that the navy can't show his skills in Luzon.

"Hugh all this, everyone is on board, let's get ready to go-by the way, I heard that your South China Sea Fleet has a precedence over the East China Sea Fleet this time, and you have got the latest steam warship, when will you lend us to play?" He Tu's scarred face twitched, he was laughing, but it was more ugly than the anger of others.

"I can't be the master of this matter, you go to Zhou Gong to talk about it." Li Erbao suddenly said vigilantly.

"Stingy!" He Tu pursed his lips, how could he dare to go to Zhou Quan for this matter.

After the steam train came out, it was a study of steam ships, which was not a big project for the East China Sea Research Institute, which had more than 2,000 people. Therefore, He Tu received news that the first steamship had been built, and the East China Sea Fleet, which had an advantage in all new equipment, did not compete for the South China Sea Fleet this time.

This made Zhang Shun, the governor of the East China Sea Fleet, furious, and Li Erbao, the governor of the South China Sea Fleet, laughing from ear to ear.

"Which one is my stinginess, that ship can't even be idle, Zhou Gong said, when we get together a certain amount, we will cross the Mayuan Strait, but the West will go around." Li Erbao's eyes shone brightly.

The Mayuan Strait is a waterway connecting the South China Sea and the Western Ocean, and Lu Hai and He Tu have also been there, and Li Erbao's South China Sea Fleet has been patrolling there all year round. With the expansion of the charts, Zhou Quan set up a special Haiguo Atlas to name newly discovered places or places that had not been named before, as was the case with the Mayuan Strait.

Lu Hai and He Tu heard this, but they exchanged glances.

They know no less than Li Erbao, at this time, the Seljuk Empire rose rapidly after getting Li Qianshun's refuge, and has formed a huge force, Western Xia made a comeback during the Song and Jin wars this time, and it was because of the support of the Seljuk Empire.

It seems that Duke Zhou is very dissatisfied with this Seljuk Empire, and has begun to prepare for a big meal in the future.

They fought against the big cannibals in Luzon, and they knew that the big cannibals were no better than the natives of Luzon, they also had their own country, their smelting skills were not bad, and their military strength was quite strong, and what was even more troublesome was that many of these guys were crazy, either crazy about money or crazy about gods.

"Can we catch up?" Lu Hai whispered.

"Give something for young people to do, let's just clean up Jiangnan." He Tu said with a smile.

Just when Fang La was dreaming of surrounding Yue Feibu and forcing Zhou Quan to negotiate, he didn't know that only a few hundred miles away from his place of origin, on the other side of the strait, there were more than 100 large and small ships with thousands of sails in unison, and began to move towards Hangzhou.

He Tu was the main general, Lu Hai was the deputy general, this army drawn from Luzon and Liuqiu, with 20,000 forwards, landed in Qiantang four days later, and easily defeated Fang La's garrison in Hangzhou. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers were divided into two routes, one team went along the canal, and the other went around to the mouth of the Yangtze River, advancing by land and water, directly hitting Zhenjiang!

At the Guazhou Ancient Ferry, Fang La held the shoulders of a big man and stepped on the shore steadily.

Although he had already ordered to cross the river to fight, it was not an easy task for nearly 200,000 people to cross the river, especially himself, who was now living a luxurious life, and Yangzhou was not fully prepared and did not dare to welcome him.

Therefore, it is only now that his army has completely crossed the Yangtze River, and he himself has come to Jiangbei with the last troops of the rear army.

This group is the real elite of Manichaeism, these years, in order to hide the eyeliner sent by Zhou Quan, these people have been hiding in the mountains of southwest Zhejiang and northwest Fujian, where the traffic is blocked, the business is not developed, and the tentacles of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce cannot reach into it.

Looking at the neatly arrayed military horses in front of him, he smiled proudly: "Not bad, not bad, five years of life and training, now it can be regarded as a small achievement." If Zhou Quan saw my troops, he would also understand that dividing the river and ruling the country was his greatest ......."

He didn't finish his words, but when he saw a person standing on the shore, he immediately frowned slightly.

Standing on the shore was the envoy he sent to Ying Tianfu to negotiate with Zhou Quan, it stands to reason that he should stay in Ying Tianfu to bargain with Zhou Quan, how could he come here?

"Zhu Yan, why are you here?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Qi Qi Shenggong, the minister is incompetent, he failed to see Zhou Quan, the minister thought that there must be a reason, so he rushed to report to the Holy Father!" Na Zhu said after the words and deeds.

Fang La's brows froze, Zhou Quan refused the conditions he proposed, which was something he expected, but he simply refused to negotiate with him, which was beyond his expectations.

In his opinion, Zhou Quan has a lot of businessman's atmosphere, and businessmen will not refuse to bargain.

"Could it be...... Has it really changed? (To be continued.) )
