Chapter 507: Chain Reaction

Huang Fu's persuasion was not unreasonable, Zhu Gaochi also figured it out after calming down, rather than keeping with the emperor all the time, it was better to agree to his request on the surface. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When he ascends the throne in the future, he can do what he wants, and he doesn't have to put himself on the cusp of the storm at all.

Zhu Gaochi figured out that he didn't want to make trouble anymore, but he seemed to have forgotten Zhu Gaoxi, who was still far away in the island country, and he also received news from his subordinates in the island country ten days later. As soon as I heard that Zhu Di actually let his eldest brother come back to Daming, he also intended to continue to let him sit in the position of prince.

This is tantamount to a huge thunderbolt hitting his body, and he is dizzy by the thunder, and then he is furious. couldn't stay in the island country for a moment, and with the fleet that had lost nearly half of it, regardless of the death of the Watanabe patriarch, he went directly back to Daming overnight.

This directly made the Watanabe patriarch half angry, Luzon was already paying attention to the movements on their side, and in the last battle, although they lost more than half of their troops. But most of the spoils obtained from the battle with the Ming Dynasty on Ryukyu Island, in fact, they did not lose any real strength of their own.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxi left suddenly, wouldn't he immediately put the Watanabe family on the cusp, if the Luzon Kingdom united with the Tang Ming or the Gu Dynasty to attack again, the consequences can be imagined!

But the hard work of the Watanabe patriarch did not give Zhu Gaoxi, who was in a hurry to go back, any nostalgia, compared to the affairs of an island country, naturally his position as the crown prince was more important. Zhu Gaochi has returned to Daming, and he doesn't know how his father will arrange it for him, if he is robbed of the opportunity like this, then who will he cry to.

Zhu Gaoxi's departure regardless of it made the Watanabe family fall into a panic, and the first-level defense had been issued, ready to fight at any time.

And Luzon got the news not long after Zhu Gaoxi left, Yan Ruwei laughed and found the king, and after some discussion, he immediately began to prepare for war, while sending people to inform Tang Ming and Wuxiong, who had turned his face. There will never be a real enemy in front of interests, so Yan Ruwei is not afraid that Wuxiong will not be moved, but he is afraid that he will be powerless.

This time, in order to be able to move Tang Ming to send troops together, Yan Ruwei decided to make a trip by himself, because the incident was sudden and urgent. And such opportunities are not common, so Yan Ruwei hurriedly set sail with a few warships that night.

Ignoring how the changes were outside, Tang Ming only pounced on his hot air balloon, so he deliberately secretly transported a few to the Ryukyus for testing, and the results made him very satisfied, and Fei Xin also saw such a thing for the first time, and even he was convinced.

Day and night, it took Yan Ruwei only six days to reach Tang Myung's Jeju Island, and from the moment he stepped on the pier, his eyes were attracted to everything. The entire wharf is made of cement, and it looks sturdy and tidy, and there is a constant stream of cargo ships coming in and out here, making it a busy scene.

Yan Ruwei secretly compared the most prosperous wharf in Luzon with this place in his heart, and he found that Luzon had no comparison with Jeju Island at all. The prosperity of this place can't catch up even if Luzon develops for another thirty years, and when he arrives at Tianna City, he suddenly has a sense of surprise that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Circle!

Everything in the city was strange and curious to him, especially the people here with happy smiles on their faces and the people on the streets hurrying. Everyone was well-dressed, and Yan Ruwei couldn't see a beggar on the island all the way to the Tang Mansion, or a playful character who had nothing to do and was wandering around.

To be able to build an island like this, how much it needs to pay, and how much financial support it takes, Yan Ruwei is surprised when he thinks about it.

Tang Ming learned early in the morning that Yan Ruwei of Luzon had come to Jeju Island, and he had just returned from Tianna Mountain, and he happened to meet Yan Ruwei unexpectedly at the door of his house. The two exchanged a few shabby words at the door, and then entered the mansion under the guidance of Tang Ming.

After chatting a few words, Yan Ruwei went straight to the point and said the purpose of his trip, and explained the situation of the island country together, and finally invited Tang Ming to send troops together.

After hearing this, Tang Ming just smiled, shook his head and still refused: "There is Brother Lao Yan who has come all the way here to invite the little brother, in fact, you should be clear about the situation I am facing now. The tiger is like a tiger that will pounce on it at any time to feed, in such a situation, does my brother think I can still be distracted to fight any island country? ”

Yan Ruwei also knew that Tang Ming was indeed facing a lot of pressure in front of him, and when he heard him say this, he knew that it would be useless to say more. After that, he didn't mention it again, but fortunately, he didn't have much hope, so Yan Ruwei didn't have any disappointed look at this moment.

Under Tang Ming's hospitality, Yan Ruwei had the most sumptuous dinner in his life, and finally refused Tang Ming's stay, and went to find Takeo, who had been silent for a long time.

Takeo was indeed depressed, two consecutive defeats had made him almost bankrupt, and recently he used the coffin book to tighten his belt and buy a hundred warships from Tang Ming's shipyard. The hundred warships in front of him were the maritime defense forces used by his ancient dynasty for daily patrols.

For this reason, his current treasury was almost emptied by Tang Ming, although Takeo had no choice but to extend his hand to the people of the ancient dynasty and the maritime merchants who came here to trade at the docks. Although the money was quickly recovered by him, the consequences also made Takeo regret it.

Takeo, a powerful and wealthy neighbor, sometimes feels that he doesn't know whether it's a blessing or a curse, and when he raises taxes, he encounters a strong reaction. The maritime merchants were reluctant to pay the taxes after he had conceded half of the taxes, and for this reason, Takeo was threatened by them that if there was a next time, they would no longer trade with the ancient dynasty and go directly to Jeju Island in Tang Ming.

It's okay to be threatened by the maritime merchants, after all, these maritime merchants are actually pirates to put it bluntly, and these people who pin their heads to the waistband and run to the sea are not good in the first place. It is inevitable to rebel when faced with injustice.

The most unacceptable thing for Takeo is that most of the people of the ancient dynasty country refused to raise taxes this time, and some went directly to Jeju Island in Tang Ming. Tang Ming's Jeju Island can still recruit a large number of people now, so he will not refuse to come, but Takeo is helpless about it.

He didn't dare to reason with Tang Ming, he had already found that he had been left far behind by Tang Ming now, no matter from that aspect, Takeo felt that he was inferior to Tang Ming, which caused him not to dare to have any complaints against Tang Ming. (To be continued.) )
