Carory was persuaded by Li Guo to stay for a few days. Li Guo has promised that he will help him buy a good bead chain.

Li Guo accepted the money that Carory bought for him a bead chain, Li Guo knew the rules of Westerners, and there was no need not to accept this money. Of course, Li Guo has the ability to get a good bead chain, and he doesn't need to buy it, because it is in the treasury, and he got it in the Annan War not long ago. There are many pearl products, and of course there are many bead chains.

So, Li Guo ordered to pick out some. Caroli had said that his niece Talina was particularly fond of pearls, and Li Guo picked out a good one to give to Caroli.

And among the pearl products, Li Guo found a very large pearl, which was a single one. A single pearl must be large and of good quality. Li Guo took the pearl in his hand and looked at it, good thing!

In the case of good quality, the bigger the pearl, the better. Since ancient times, there have been seven-point pearls and eight-point treasures.

This means that a pearl that weighs eight points (a round pearl with a diameter of about 9 mm in size) is called a treasure. It can be seen that the size of the pearl is very closely related to the value, and the larger the pearl, the more valuable. Seven-point and eight-point pearls are a watershed in measuring the value of pearls.

[.

This pearl has nothing to do with seven or eight points, because Li Guo looks at it from the naked eye, this pearl must be at least two centimeters away, which is very remarkable, and such a large pearl is extremely rare. Moreover, this pearl is a pink pink pearl, which is even rarer.

Li Guo thought about it, and put this pearl in his inner bosom, he was useful.

And the bead chain with good quality, Li Guo was not in a hurry to give it to Caroli. Because he was going to stay with Carory for a few days.

And in the past few days, Li Guo has been chatting with Carory.

"I heard you have eight warships now?" Li asked.

Carory nodded.

"I don't think you have a lot of people." Li Guo continued.

"Yes, but not much. There were about two thousand people. Carlos replied. In fact, there were only more than 1,600 people in Malacca, which could barely operate eight warships, and the Portuguese had very few numbers.

"Ah, not less." Li Guo was actually inquiring about the strength of the Portuguese in Malacca.

"General Li, I see that you have a lot of sailors." Carory asked.

"Quite a few, I have quite a few people. Because I need to go to the area around Annam often to quell the rebellion. No, the military intelligence just came. In a few days we will depart and take a boat to the south of Annam to quell the rebellion. Li Guo said.

"Oh, is General Lee going to sea? Then it's time for me to go. General Lee. Did you get the pearl necklace I asked you to buy? "Caroli doesn't care about whether Li Guo is quelling the rebellion or not, he cares about the gift to his niece Tarina.

"I bought it, I bought it, you see my memory." Li Guo took out the bead chain. It was handed to Caroli.

"Thank you. Then I'll take my leave. Carory was pleased with the beaded chain and happily resigned to Li Guo.

"Okay, I won't keep you either. By the way, What is Miss Talena's birthday? Li asked.

"The eighth of next month." Caroli sued Sù Lee.

Li Guo sighed, "I really want to go to Malacca to attend Miss Tarina's coming-of-age ceremony, and I really want to meet Governor Carlos." ”

"Welcome, you can come with me to Malacca now." Carory is a very welcoming person.

Li Guo frowned and shook his head, "No!" I'm going to Annam to quell the rebellion! ”

"It's a shame." Carory spread her hands.

Li Guo thought about it, and his face showed joy, "That's right." It just so happens that Cape Kinhae in Annam is not far from Malacca, so I will take people to Malacca after the rebellion is put down. I hope Miss Talena's coming-of-age ceremony, I can catch up. In this way, I should have a gift ready. ”

"Okay, I hope you succeed in countering the rebellion as soon as possible, and you are welcome to Malacca." Carory said.

"Okay, in this case, if I can go up, I will let Viscount Lida inform you first." Li Guo shook hands with Carlos and said goodbye to him.

Sent Caroli away, arranged Lida, and turned his face, Li Guo found Nie Xin, Luo Hu and Gu Ying, as well as Ma Shiyao and Hai Yong of the navy, and Li Guo was ready to take them out to sea. Li XII suffers from a phobia of the sea, so he was not called to the meeting.

"I want to him! Take the ships of Malacca and make Malacca our territory! Li Guo said to the subordinates in front of him.

"How? They have eight warships, but we only have four, and we can't beat them! "Ma Shiyao is now quite proficient in the navy and knows that the strength at sea is not compromised.

"Hey, hey." Li Guo smiled: "That's why we want a surprise attack!" ”

"Surprise attack?" A few people didn't know about Li Guo's plan.

"We should do it!" Li Guo said what he thought.

Everyone nodded incessantly, good idea.

Ma Shiyao said: "This secret must be kept very strictly, and don't let our Portuguese here know, so as not to leak the rumors, which is not good." ”

Li Guo nodded.

So, the next day, Li Guo suddenly announced that he was immediately ready to go to Jinhaijiao in Annam to quell the rebellion! So, all the ships were well replenished and set off.

Among the Portuguese leaders who followed were Sima Ricci, who was very loyal to Li Guo, and Viscount Lida, who had hopes for Li Guo. They all thought that Li Guo was really going to quell the rebellion.

Li Guo really looked like a counterinsurgency, and he led seven or eight hundred ships carrying 10,000 naval troops and 10,000 army troops to Jinhaijiao in Annam.

Garrisoned at Cape Kinhae was the original leader of the Boy Soldiers, Tie Dan, who had led his men and horses to sweep the south, and had just arrived at Cape Kinhae, preparing to build it into a port. Suddenly, I heard that Lee was coming.

Li Guo pretended to only take 10,000 troops off the ship, and the iron egg had already met the seaside.

"Daddy Li." Tie Dan kowtowed to Li Guo first.

"Get up, and lead me first into your tent to speak." Li Guo commanded.

Tie Dan didn't know what was going on, so he led Li Guo into his big tent.

"Daddy Li, what are you doing here?" Iron Egg asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just passing by you for a show. I see that there is a mountain not far from the coast, and you should now send some people to light more fires in the mountain, so that the people on the ship can see it. Then I led the men and horses to kill them and make a counterinsurgency. Li Guo instructed.

Tie Dan didn't understand.

Li Guo told him, and Tie Dan understood. So Tie Dan quietly sent someone to set fire, and Li Guo pretended to sweep it.

Viscount Lida and Ricci did not disembark, but they saw the fire.

Lida was still very anxious, he said to Ricci Ricci, "I hope the counterinsurgency can be fastened, the last time I passed through Malacca, the governor Carlos left me to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of Talena, I didn't stop because I was in a bad mood." This time, I hope that the tiger master can end the battle quickly, we can reach Malacca quickly, and I have prepared a gift for Tarina. ”

Ricci looked at the firelight, and sincerely hoped that Li Guo would win, and he had already bet his future on Li Guo. (To be continued......)
