Chapter 18: The Desperate Lu Dongzan
The second fleet of the Tang Dynasty arrived at the base in South America, and the commander of the second fleet was named Lu Yunfeng, who was the eldest grandson of Lu Deming, the only living veteran of Nanshan Academy.
Lu Yunfeng led the fleet to South America, what excited Niu Jinda the most was not the young man's perfect chart, nor the rare big fish caught from the sea, what excited Niu Jinda the most was the large pile of newspapers that this kid brought with him when he set off from Chang'an.
The newspapers were stored in the cabin for a month and a half, and experienced a storm, but fortunately, the sea ship built by Datang was extremely well sealed, and none of the newspapers were soaked in water, except that when the box was opened, it would emit a musty smell.
Niu Jinda ordered his servants to take out all these newspapers and expose them to the sun in an open sunny place in the harbor, and in just half a day they were all dried so that they no longer had the smell of mold.
As soon as he heard the news that the newspapers had been dried, Niu Jinda ordered the people to organize all the newspapers into books according to the time and then moved back to the camp, and he was impatient to read in the camp.
The natives of South America have now all been captured by the officers and men of the First Fleet, and have become slaves in the mines, and the South American continent is so large that at least the spies sent by Niu Jinda have penetrated hundreds of miles deep into the Central Plains. There is still no end in sight. As Xu Yang said at the beginning. The size of the South American continent is comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty.
What surprised Niu Jinda was that the natives in this huge land did not have the slightest sense of unity, those natives with dark skin, they only lived in small tribes, and there were constant disputes between the tribes, and these natives who used the most inferior swords, axes and wooden sticks were in the eyes of Tang Jun. Their combat power is almost negligible.
The whole of South America is like an ancient flood of the continent, here a qiē is so strange, under the land, you can dig out very precious jade, there are often all kinds of gold and silver mines on both sides of the river, there are all kinds of precious medicinal materials in the rainforest, Niu Jinda has regarded this land as the sacred and inviolable territory of the Tang Dynasty, he planted the golden dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty everywhere, and engraved the badge of the Tang Dynasty on the huge stone tablet, which is to keep announcing to the world. This land already belongs to Datang.
After so many years of overseas development and construction. Australia Island has now become one of the largest overseas islands in the Tang Dynasty, countless explorers and gold diggers have set off from Quanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, from the Ryukyus and Luzon as a springboard, to Australia, and then where to find opportunities and wealth, which makes Australia develop extremely rapidly, just five years ago, there is only one seaport on the Australian Island near the coast of Darwin, but five years later, the number of seaports in Australia has reached 14, of which there are many small ports are not included in the statistics.
Compared with the prosperity of the Australian island, the development of South America seems to be a little slower, after all, across a huge Pacific Ocean, only a huge fleet dares to set foot in it, and those fishermen who set off in small boats have not returned since they set off......
Spreading out the newspaper, Niu Jinda sat down on the table seriously, carefully looking at the thick stack of newspapers on the desk, his face was full of smiles, only when he saw these familiar words, he would feel that he was back in the homeland of the Tang Dynasty.
'The elder grandson of the uncle of the country embezzled the case, and His Majesty the Son of Heaven gave him a warning of gold. ’
Dozens of officials were moved out of the corruption case, the court was shaken, and the students of Nanshan Academy took on great responsibilities and took office for three days, with outstanding political achievements. ’
'Master Xuanzang returned to China, His Majesty the Son of Heaven or came to greet him, and a Dharma conference was held on Chang'an Avenue. ’
'Xujiazhuang, a man and a woman, two Guigu disciples, tied the knot, the man was Di Renjie, and the woman was Wu Zhao'er. ’
'Taoism's implementation of the "Cultivation of Immortals Manual" attracted the enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an, following the Buddhism fever after Master Xuanzang, Chang'an set off a fever of Taoist cultivation of immortals. ’
'Fighting openly and secretly, His Majesty the Son of Heaven decided to send troops to Tibet. ’
'Big win! Emperor Li Ke was in charge of the Tibetan regime, and Songtsen Gampo killed himself in the Potala Palace, and the Tubo State was destroyed since then. ’
'Chang'an annual imperial examination list, Nanshan Academy students won the top three, genius Luo Bin Wang Cheng new champion'
'The Great Food Country attacked my Anxi Protectorate at night, and His Majesty the Holy Son of Heaven was furious, and he will crusade against the Great Food Country on the same day! ’
'The Holy Son of Heaven Chang'an canonized the founding heroes, and built the portraits of the twenty-five heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion to show their remembrance. ’……
When Niu Jinda finished reading the last one, the sky that was still bright had become a little dim at this time, and the sun slowly sank into the west, Niu Jinda still put down the newspaper in his hand with some unfinished, walked out of the camp, and looked at the sky with twinkling stars, in just half a year, so many things happened in Datang, and the big food country that had listened to Xu Yang's kid finally launched a provocation to Datang, it seems that there will be a desperate war between Datang and that empire, Niu Jinda is very fascinated by this battle, It's a pity that I am overseas and cannot participate in the war.
I heard that Xu Yang's kid now has a teenage illegitimate child, he is really a young man, and he doesn't know how to do a good job at all, but fortunately, his main house Liu family girl is magnanimous, and she also let the concubine live in the village, if it was his own daughter-in-law, it would have been to the sky.
Just as Niu Jinda was smiling and thinking, a small servant ran over not far away, "Marshal Qiqi, General Lu invites you to go to the big tent to discuss the matter of bringing back gold, silver and slaves from South America this time." ”
"Okay, let's report first, Ben will be there later."
"No." ……
"Lord Omar, this is the territory occupied by the Tang people, overseas, those South America, North America, Australia, all stationed Tang troops, this thing I worked hard to copy from the Tang Palace, the land on this map, all occupied by the Tang people, their next goal is to attack the great Great Food Army, so I specially came to inform Lord Omar of this news." On a temple platform made of huge stones, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes knelt on a stone slab and said to the middle-aged man sitting on a huge stone throne.
The middle-aged man on the megalith throne raised his head proudly, and said in a light tone: "I heard that you are a Tubo from afar?" Your Arabic is very good, but this construction of yours is full of ignorance, in front of the Arab iron horsemen, no matter how many troops those Tang dare to send, I will give them a taste of fear! ”
Lu Dongzan raised his head, and a look of despair slowly appeared in his eyes...... (To be continued......)
