Chapter 249: Something happened to Keelung

When he was still in Keelung, Li Su was ready to recognize his relatives, because according to his guess, the other party was either his uncle or his cousin. And after meeting today, it was as he expected, but what he didn't expect was that the other party turned out to be a person who had already been recorded dead in the history books.

Although Li Su was surprised by Yang Jun's uncle who suddenly appeared, he could accept it, after all, the other party's explanation was indeed reasonable, and he was so familiar with Concubine Yang, so it was certain that the other party was Yang Jun, the king of Qi of the Great Sui in history, and he and Li Ke's own uncle.

It's just that what Li Su didn't expect was that his uncle, who had been unlucky all his life, was terminally ill, and he spent so much effort to lure himself here, firstly, to test his ability, and secondly, to entrust him and Li Ke with the afterlife.

Since they are all a family, there is nothing to say, and besides, they have also given all the power they have been operating for decades to their brothers, which is an extremely generous gift. In addition, Yang Jun himself also has a natural affinity, and his words are full of open-mindedness, which makes people can't help but have a good impression of him, so no matter which aspect, Li Ke and Li Su are very enthusiastic about Yang Jun's uncle, but thinking of each other's lives is short, it also makes their hearts a little sad.

Li Ke and Li Su accompanied Yang Jun's father and daughter to chat for almost a whole day, mainly about some trivial matters in life, such as Yang Jun asked the most about his mother Empress Xiao's health, how is she usually eating? In addition, there are some situations about Concubine Yang and Xiao Shengping. It's just that what makes Li Su feel strange is that his uncle seems to have missed a person who should be asked the most.

"Uncle, you asked about your mother and grandmother, but why didn't you ask your cousin?" Yang Jun is an open-minded person, so Li Su has no scruples, and asks whatever comes to mind.

The cousin he said was actually Yang Zhengdao, the son of Yang Yin. At that time, everyone thought that Yang Yong was dead, but fortunately he had a concubine who was pregnant, and then gave birth to a baby boy, this is Yang Zhengdao, and later went to the Turks with Empress Xiao, until the Turks were destroyed, and then returned to Chang'an with Empress Xiao, and was named a member of the staff by Li Shimin. It is said that as a father, Yang Jun should ask most about his son's situation, but now Yang Jun has not mentioned a word?

Unexpectedly, after Yang Xuan heard Li Su's words, he showed a wry smile and said something that made Li Su and Li Ke stunned: "That person is not my son at all!" ”

"What? This...... How is this possible? Li Su and Li Ke didn't expect to hear such a vigorous answer again, and they suddenly exclaimed.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Yang Jun smiled and shook his head, although his two nephews are both dragons and phoenixes among people, but after all, they have experienced few things, and they can't think of the joints, so he opened his mouth and pointed: "Nothing is impossible, since I, Yang Yun, was not killed by Yu Wenhua, then Yang Zhengdao is naturally possible." Although I don't know where the queen mother found the child, but in that kind of troubled times, she needs a descendant of the Yang family in her hands as a guarantee for her life. ”

Indeed, in the era of the rise of the heroes at that time, after her husband was killed, Empress Xiao was a woman, if she did not have a little capital in her hands, it is estimated that she would have been killed long ago, and Yang Zhengdao, the nominal widow of Yang Yin, is undoubtedly her greatest political capital, for example, in the Turkic period, Chu Luo Khan set up Yang Zhengdao as the king of Sui, as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains.

I see, no wonder Empress Xiao is closer to my grandson than Yang Zhengdao's own grandson, it turns out that that guy is an imposter at all, no, it should be said that there is no such person as Yang Zhengdao, the other party is just a life-saving gold medal in the hands of Queen Xiao! Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but secretly admire his old grandmother who had experienced vicissitudes.

With the deepening of understanding, Li Ke, Li Su and this Yang Jian uncle are more and more speculative, from family affairs to state affairs, almost everything can be said to be the Tao, especially for Li Su took the initiative to give up the throne in exchange for Li Shimin's full support to open up the matter, Yang Jin is even more applauded.

Over the years, he has not stayed on the big island of Liuqiu, and he often went to sea by boat before he got sick, and he has traveled almost all the seas of Southeast Asia, and even reached Tianzhu as farthest. After seeing these overseas places, he suddenly found that the original overseas places are not barren than the mainland, on the contrary, there are many places that are even richer than the mainland, such as some large islands south of Java, where the natives almost do not have to work, the forests are full of edible fruits, and there are inexhaustible fish in the sea, and these naturally growing plants and animals are enough to ensure that they will not go hungry all year round.

Compared with these places, the land of the Central Plains can almost be described as barren, the hard-working people are busy for a year, but they can barely eat a full meal, if there is a flood and drought disaster, then starvation to death is a common thing, and even sometimes there will be a human tragedy of changing children and eating.

In addition, Yang Jun also said with emotion, he also found a very suitable island in the south of Java, and also sent some people to clean up the local people, if there is anything unexpected here, then he will take all the people to move to the big island, and now it is estimated that it will not be needed, and it will be given to the two brothers Li Su together.

It wasn't until the sun set that Li Su and the others ended the conversation, only compared to the tension in the morning, but now it has become very harmonious, and even before the sun has completely set, Yang Wei also took a boat to Li Su to sit down, and by the way, he also had dinner with Li Su and the two brothers, and then left.

And early the next morning, Li Su asked Lu Qing to take someone to take over the other party's territory. This is also what Yang Jian took the initiative to ask for yesterday, after all, he is already a person waiting for death, and he only has a ten-year-old daughter under his knees, so he can't inherit his position at all, and in addition, the closest ones are Li Ke and Li Su, the two nephews, who can they give if they don't give them?

Speaking of which, the power in Yang Jin's hands is really not small, the number of residents under his jurisdiction is as high as more than 80,000, of which there are more than 10,000 troops who can be mobilized, of course, these more than 10,000 people can only be used for a while, and the real standing force is only more than 2,000 people as the core force.

More than 2,000 people are directly in the hands of Yang Jun, commanding these 2,000 people, and also one of his henchmen, this person's name is Zhu Meng, who is in his forties this year, and he turned out to be the commander of the guards around Yang Jun.

In addition, this Zhu Meng also has a great background, his father's name is Zhu Kuan, this name may not be known much, but Yang Guang sent people to Liuqiu Island three times, as well as the Liuqiu Islands beyond, the first two times were by this Zhu Kuan as the main general, it can be said that he is the first person to go to Southeast Asia among the officials of the Central Plains Dynasty. It is precisely because of Zhu Kuan that when Yang Jian was desperate, Zhu Meng, who was Zhu Kuan's son, suggested that he come to Liuqiu in order to develop slowly, and as a result, there was today's situation. It can be said that Zhu Meng is not only Yang Jun's henchman, but also the first hero of his subordinates.

In addition, in addition to Zhu Meng, Yang Jun also has an important person, this person's surname is Chen Minggong, and the strategist who abandoned Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period and later assisted Lu Bu has the same name and surname, but it is also a coincidence, although there are hundreds of years apart, these two people with the same name and surname are rare resourceful people. The plan that brought Li Xuan here was from him and Yang Yun, and the real executor was this Chen Gong, and since Yang Jun fell ill, Chen Gong was helping him deal with political affairs such as people's livelihood, and there was never a mistake, which can be described as a rare administrative talent.

In addition, compared with Zhu Meng, Chen Gong is not only younger, but also has a bigger background. His father's name was Chen Ling, who was originally a general of the former Sui Dynasty, and when Yang Guang sent someone to ask for the third time, it was this soldier led by Chen Ling. And compared with Zhu Kuan, who led the team the first two times, Chen Ling's position is also higher, not only worshipping Doctor Guanglu, but also giving him a knight and a letter of peace. In addition, Chen Ling also had a conflict with the natives of Liuqiu, not only killed the head of the other party, but also plundered thousands of natives and men to sacrifice to Yang Guang, who could move much more than Zhu Kuan.

Before and after the Jiangdu Rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Chen Ling has also been following Yang Guang's side, and is also one of Yang Guang's most trusted officials, but unfortunately at that time when the Jiangdu Rebellion, Chen Ling was leading troops to suppress the rebellion in various parts of the Yangtze River, and it was too late to return to the army. It's a pity that he was later defeated by Li Zitong, and he wanted to encourage Li Zitong's feud Du Fuwei to take revenge, but the goal was achieved, but he was also killed by Du Fuwei in the end.

Chen Gong is Chen Ling's son, but he has been taught by his father since he was a child, and has a deep affection for the former Sui, so he does not want to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, and later after the death of his mother, he sold out the family property and traveled around the country with the money obtained.

Chen Gong and Zhu Meng are both Yang Jun's henchmen, and they both know that Yang Jun is seriously ill, and as early as before, Yang Jun also persuaded them to let them continue to follow Li Su, so when Li Su took over Yang Jun's power, these two people took the lead in expressing their loyalty, and the others naturally did not matter, so Li Su easily controlled the periphery of the entire Liuqiu Island.

However, before Li Su could integrate Yang Jun's forces, there was an urgent news from Keelung, and after receiving this news, Li Su and Li Ke were all frightened, and rushed to Keelung with the fleet when they came! (To be continued.)
