Chapter 549: Western Priest

After Tang Ming sent away He Xiang, the envoy of Luzon who had returned with a full load, he immediately called Li Ba and Zhu Yong, and ordered the two to lead their troops to the border between Yue and Thailand. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info directly caused chaos there, in order to earn enough benefits, Tang Ming repeatedly emphasized that the two must maintain restraint, and they could not directly destroy the two small countries as soon as they passed.

Such an unchallenging task, Zhu Yong and Li Ba felt very boring, but it was not good to disobey Tang Ming's order, and only regarded this mission as a vacation.

Tang Ming didn't bother with them, anyway, in the two small countries of Yue and Thailand, it was enough for two people to go, as long as they didn't destroy them directly, let them play as much as they wanted.

The spies in charge of patrolling Fei Xin's side have already received news that a huge fleet of ships has recently gathered in the far waters of the Nansha Islands. After spying at night with spaceships, it was learned that this huge fleet should be a combination of multiple Western countries. Their purpose was clearly the fertile eastern seas and the numerous islands.

Tang Ming's butterfly wings finally took effect, the era of great exploration was four hundred years earlier, and the Western powers had already crossed the Indian Ocean and began to explore the eastern seas they had never set foot in.

But it is clear that the fleets gathered in the South China Sea at this moment are not here to trade, but those pirates from the West. It can be seen from the skulls on their warships and flags, so Tang Ming immediately ordered Fei Xin to keep an eye on their movements. The island of Ryukyu was also put into a state of combat readiness, and a tense atmosphere immediately spread.

But what puzzled Tang Ming was that more than ten days had passed, but there was still no movement in that fleet, but several Western ships came to Ryukyu Island and Jeju Island, and some missionaries also appeared on these two islands one after another.

Tang Ming could have prevented these people from landing, but he wanted to know what was going on with these people, so he ordered them to be released. These missionaries did not have any ill will, and they propagated their teachings on the islands of Ryukyu and Jeju.

When they first arrived, after many days of publicity, it had no effect, and since ancient times, the beliefs of the East and the West have been very different. The people of the Ming Dynasty were relatively traditional and conservative, and they were naturally indifferent to these new Western churches.

However, the missionaries were really shocked when they saw the prosperity of Jeju Island, and they did not find a single famine in the whole of Jeju Island. Moreover, everyone here has a job, children have a book to read, and the old and the young are prosperous, and even the ruffians and hooligans that can be seen there are not a single one they can see on Jeju Island.

The land and water of Jeju Island are undoubtedly like a paradise in their mouths, and for this reason, they have become curious about its rulers.

Tang Ming was chatting with his three wives in the mansion at the moment, when someone suddenly came to report that there were two Western missionaries outside the mansion who asked to meet him.

Tang Ming didn't want to pay attention to it, because he knew that since he allowed these missionaries to run rampant on Jeju Island, Yao Guangxiao, an old monk, had already begun to be unhappy in his heart. If he comes into contact with these people again at this time, it will inevitably make the old monk hold a grudge.

Originally, he wanted to let his subordinates send them away, but the three women and Xiao Jasmine said curiously that they wanted to see them, and in desperation, Tang Ming had to let his subordinates take them to the reception place in the front hall.

There were two Westerners, an old man and a young man, and judging from their skin color and eyes, Tang Ming guessed that they should have come from England.

The old missionary bowed as soon as he saw Tang Ming, and the young monk who followed behind him immediately learned in good shape. Apparently this was the first time the old missionary had come to the East, and he spoke pure English, and no one in the whole hall could understand what he was saying.

Tang Ming understood, but he also pretended not to understand, and said, "Old man, what are you talking about? ”

At this moment, Tang Ming thought about why none of these missionaries on Jeju Island would believe in their church, which even had different languages, communication became a problem, and how to promote the church.

The old missionary saw that Tang Ming couldn't understand what he was saying, and he still couldn't understand what Tang Ming was saying? Neither side was at a loss, and the old missionary looked disappointed.

But the old missionary seemed to have anticipated this, and immediately took out the pen and paper from his bosom, lay down on the ground, and began to draw.

After a while, he sent it to Tang Ming's eyes, and the old missionary drew a picture in a sketch way, which probably meant to say hello, but he didn't understand the rest. However, he had just heard him report his name and where he came from.

His name is Kerns, and he is from a place called the British Empire in the West, even if he knows the meaning and understands the picture, Tang Ming still pretends not to understand, shakes his head and stops talking.

The old missionary sighed lightly and bowed to Tang Ming again before turning to leave, Bai Xiaolan suddenly leaned over to Tang Ming's side, and said with a grin: "Why does Xianggong understand but pretend not to understand, you are prejudiced against these missionaries?" ”

Tang Ming got up and scratched Bai Xiaolan's nose, and said with a smile: "Whether there is prejudice or not, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, the important thing is that the master and his old man have opinions on these missionaries." As an apprentice, I naturally have to follow him, don't you say! ”

Bai Xiaolan stuck out her tongue lightly, closed her mouth and stopped talking, don't look at Yao Guangxiao, an old monk, who usually doesn't see people, but his current generation is the largest one on the entire Jeju Island. These women in the family are afraid when they see him, as long as there is something related to him, they will never dare to gossip.

After the Western missionaries also touched the dust here in Tang Ming, they all withdrew in less than two days, because they vaguely understood in the mouths of some merchants that there was also a dynasty called Ming.

Not only was it a vast place, but it was also the most populous in the whole of the East, and these ascetic missionaries wanted to spread their teachings everywhere known. They immediately turned their attention to that side, and besides, the language barrier here in Jeju Island made it impossible for them to continue here.

It was obviously a wise choice to shift positions first, and the departure of the missionaries restored Jeju Island to its usual calm. These people who have been here for more than ten days and left suddenly have become the talk of the people on Jeju Island after tea and dinner, and no one pays too much attention to them.

Tang Ming couldn't be idle, and news had come from the Ryukyu Island that the fleet near the South China Sea had finally moved, and it seemed that there was a big attack on the nearest Luzon country.

The seas of Asia were now completely in Tang Ming's hands, and he would never allow these guys from outside the territory to sabotage his plans, so he came to Ryukyu Island with a large army overnight to join Fei Xin.

And Yan Ruwei's ships guarding the sea in Luzon also received the arrival of this fleet at the same time. At this time, there were foreign enemies, which undoubtedly made Luzon even worse.

For this reason, the king specially sent someone to meet the rebel prince of the opposite sex, and on the wasteland outside the capital, the two armies faced each other. In the middle of the clearing, a makeshift pergola towers.

The king and the prince of the opposite sex sat alone in the pergola, and the generals of both armies tensed their nerves and watched the two people in the pergola. The peace talks were a matter of life and death for Luzon, and they could not afford not to be nervous.

Especially Yan Ruwei, he knew in his heart that this time it was their side that fell below, and if the prince of the opposite sex took the opportunity to blackmail the king, this matter would be very difficult to do.

The prince of the opposite sex looked at the king coldly and said lightly: "What? Are you finally willing to throw in the towel? If you return the throne to me now, then you will be left alive. Otherwise, the day the city is broken will be when your head falls to the ground! ”

The king's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's too early to make a conclusion about who wins and who wins, and this king's appointment to talk to you this time is not to show weakness to you." Less than five days away from our Luzon country, there was a large army of Western Oceans, and it was clear that their target was our Luzon. If you do not make a truce and fend off the enemy together with this king, then the only way that awaits us is destruction. ”

The king of the opposite sex obviously didn't buy it, and said with a smile: "If this king is not mistaken, these so-called foreign enemies must be the Dutch people from last time." This king remembers that you were their enemy, and their fleet was destroyed because of you, and this time they must have come with the purpose of revenge, maybe they can help me and destroy you! ”

In fact, the king of the opposite sex also has his own plans, this foreign enemy he dares to bet that Tang Ming will destroy them as soon as possible, so he is not nervous at all now, but begins to take the opportunity to blackmail the king and strive for the greatest benefits.

The king's face had turned the color of pig's liver, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then according to your wishes, how do you want to resist the foreign enemy with me?" ”

"It's very simple, you and I are equal in strength now, and this king doesn't want to spend any more time with you. This Luzon country is divided between the north and the south, and each rules separately, as long as you admit this, then what's the harm in helping you drive out the incoming enemy! ”

In the sneer, the king of the opposite sex said his ultimate goal. There is no way, with his current strength, he really can't continue to consume with the king.

Luzon's finances were entirely in the capital, and after he purchased firearms from Tang Ming once, he was no longer able to sustain himself. If he is allowed to continue like this, he will definitely lose sooner or later, so he wants to take the opportunity to divide the fiefdoms and rule separately.

It is not too late to compete with it again when he has money in the future, and after this rebellion, the king of the opposite sex seems to understand Tang Ming's conspiracy. Through the infighting of Luzon, he hid behind and sold firearms, and if this continued, it would not take more than a year, even if he himself finally triumphed on the throne, then Luzon would be nothing more than an empty shell.

The king hesitated for only a moment, then nodded and agreed to the request of the king of the opposite sex, and he could accept the partition and rule, and besides, this was only a temporary truce. When the foreign enemy subsides, he can destroy this aftermath again! (To be continued.) )
