Chapter 656: Something Happened in Luzon

Hearing Niu Lie and Su Song's words, they were not stupid, knowing that Zhao Yan really didn't need to lie to them, they all showed joy, but some people also showed worried looks, after all, not everyone was carried away by the interests in Zhao Yan's mouth, and some people still felt that something was wrong.

Seeing the excited appearance of these heads, Zhao Yan suddenly sneered and said: "But if you want to get the same treatment as Wulietong, you must also show your sincerity, I have just said that the matter of the sneak attack on the miners will be investigated to the end, so no matter what method you use, you must give me an explanation after seven days!" ”

When the fifteen heads heard Zhao Yan asking them to give an explanation, they quieted down again for a while, and looked at each other one by one, and finally the white-bearded head spoke: "Yue Wang Chitose, I don't know what kind of explanation you want?" ”

"Hmph, an explanation is an explanation, I don't care what kind of explanation you give me, but you must satisfy me, otherwise the soldiers stationed in Wulie Town will be immediately promoted, and then there will be no emotion to talk about!" After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to the reactions of these heads, he flicked his sleeves and turned around and left, everything he wanted to say had already been said, and the rest depended on the reactions of these heads.

Su Song saw Zhao Yan leaving, and his face also showed a look of surprise, and he glanced at the crowd again, and then spoke: "His Royal Highness King Yue has said it very clearly, I hope you can seize the opportunity, and don't give His Royal Highness King Yue an unsatisfactory explanation!" ”

After Su Song finished speaking, he also turned to leave, leaving these heads with different expressions one by one, some confused, some hesitant, and some flickering, among them, the white-bearded head looked at the back of Zhao Yan and Su Song leaving with a complicated expression, and he already understood what Zhao Yan meant, but if they really wanted to give Zhao Yan a satisfactory answer. Then I am afraid that there will be no trust between these Lebanese people.

Su Song immediately caught up with Zhao Yan after leaving the living room, but he said with some worry at this time: "Your Highness, although your method is good, can it succeed?" ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you succeed or not, it's best if you succeed. If it doesn't work, then mobilize the garrison of Wulie Town and drive out all the surrounding Li people, if they don't leave, then don't blame this king! When Zhao Yan said the end, there was also a rare murderous aura on his face.

Zhao Yan only gave those heads seven days, in fact, those heads did not let Zhao Yan wait for a long time, only three days later, thirteen of the fifteen Li tribes around suddenly joined forces. Suddenly, two of the tribes were caught, and more than a dozen murderers who attacked the mine were caught, and these dozen murderers had these two heads of the mines, and they also confessed that they had indeed attacked the people of the mine before, but when they saw Zhao Yan, they were unwilling to pull out the fact that several other mines had also attacked the miners, but unfortunately Zhao Yan didn't pay much attention to it. It was only ordered that the population of these two mountains be distributed among the other mountains.

The two mountains perished because of this, and the remaining mountains were also recruited into the mine by Zhao Yan. However, there are too many of them, and there are not so many miners in the mine for them to manage, so in the end, Zhao Yan temporarily let them act as miners, although they are a little tired, but the remuneration is very rich, so most of these Li people have no complaints. In addition, so many miners have been added to the mine, which has also increased the scale of mining a lot.

"Your Highness's clever calculation, you can solve the big problem in the mine with a raise of your hand, which really convinces the lower officials!" Su Song saw the scene of those Li people working honestly in the mine, and immediately bowed to Zhao Yanshen. Because of the fact that the Shilu Iron Mine was attacked by the Li people one after another, he also came here several times, but unfortunately there was no way to solve it, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yan only summoned a few people to say a word, and let them solve this big trouble by themselves.

"Hehe, this is nothing at all, it's just some tricks, and although the two mountains were involved in the attack on the miners, there must be other ones involved, but this matter is really not suitable for further investigation, otherwise it will only make things worse." When Zhao Yan said at the end, he didn't show a helpless look on his face, and said that politics is the dirtiest thing in the world, and he now also deeply understands that sometimes in this position, he has to learn to make compromises and concessions.

The matter on the iron mine side was solved, Zhao Yan and Su Song returned to Qiongzhou City again, and then began to work together to study ways to improve sea ships, before Zhao Yan only told Su Song some of his ideas and scientific principles he knew, and he never had the opportunity to communicate face-to-face, and now he took advantage of Zhao Yan was not in a hurry to return to Guangzhou, so he stayed a few more days to study the design and construction of sea ships with Su Song.

Zhao Yan doesn't know how to build a ship, but he knows a lot of scientific principles that can be applied to shipbuilding, which is what the shipbuilding masters of the Great Song Dynasty urgently need, although Su Song is not a shipbuilding master, but he is also very proficient in shipbuilding technology, plus he is a great scientist himself, so the scientific principles that Zhao Yan talked about, it is easy to apply them to shipbuilding, which also makes him have a deeper understanding of the design and manufacture of sea ships, and one novel idea after another appears in his mind, in the words of later generations, Zhao Yan seemed to have opened a new door for him, and a new world appeared behind the door.

Zhao Yan stayed in Qiongzhou for another half a month, but in the end he had to leave, because there was a sudden news from Luzon that he needed to go back to Guangzhou to deal with it, Su Song gained a lot during this time, and he didn't want Zhao Yan to leave for a while, but unfortunately Zhao Yan is now burdened with heavy responsibilities, not as leisurely as when he was in the capital, so Su Song finally had to send them away in person.

Su Song stayed bored in Qiongzhou during this time, just after the development of Qiongzhou, Su Song wanted to build several official schools, so Su Shi helped Su Song build official schools, and even went to teach students in person, Zhao Yan was busy when he was leaving, so he simply stayed in Qiongzhou temporarily, ready to go back after the official school was done, which made Zhao Yan stunned, Su Shi made great contributions to the education of Qiongzhou in history, and even the first Jinshi in the history of Qiongzhou was born shortly after Su Shi left Qiongzhou, Zhao Yan thought that with his intervention, Su Shi would never have the opportunity to contribute to the education of Qiongzhou, but he didn't expect the inertia of history to be so huge.

After Zhao Yan's ship left Qiongzhou, he immediately rushed back to Guangzhou as fast as possible, because the news he got was that something had happened in Luzon, but he didn't say what it was, and even if he knew something, he needed to go to Guangzhou to deal with it, after all, it was his base camp.

Half a month later, Zhao Yan finally returned to Guangzhou again, Hu Yanping and Xu Yuan, who stayed here, immediately came to report that something did happen in Luzon, that is, the Turen Kingdom where Banana Bay was located actually began to secretly gather troops and prepare to attack the stronghold in Banana Bay. Zhao Yan estimated that when he received the news on his side, the Luzon side might have already started fighting.

"What's the name of that native kingdom, and why are they ready to attack our stronghold without warning?" As soon as Zhao Yangang saw Hu Yanping and Xu Yuan, he immediately asked.

"Third brother, that kingdom is called the Kingdom of Liuke, as for why they suddenly attacked our stronghold, there is no detailed information from the Luzon side, but from some intelligence, it seems to be related to a tribe that we destroyed when we first arrived in Luzon." Xu Yuan replied at this time, no one knew the situation on the Luzon side better than him, so he was the first to read the information from the Luzon side.

"The tribe you wiped out?" When Zhao Yan heard this, he recalled what Xu Yuan had told him about going to Luzon before, and he quickly remembered that there was indeed such a thing, that tribe seemed to be named Su He'a, and Huang Sanxing and the others were rescued by Xu Yuan in Su He'a's tribe.

"That's right, that Suhea tribe seems to have something to do with the high-level of the Liuke Kingdom, last time we just broke their tribe, and many people fled, I think it should be these people who escaped to notify the Liuke Kingdom, so the other party secretly gathered troops and prepared to take revenge for the Suhea tribe!" Xu Yuan spoke again at the moment.

"I see, but in this way, this war seems to be inevitable, but the troops on the Luzon side seem to be a little weak, and it will be too late for us to support in time, I am worried that if the Liuke Kingdom goes to attack the stronghold, our people will suffer?" Zhao Yan touched his chin at this time and said worriedly.

However, for Zhao Yan's words, Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said: "Third brother, don't worry, although I only left a thousand people to guard the walled city when I came, but these thousand people are the elite of the sailors, and they are equipped with enough firearms, plus the evil ghost himself serves as the leader, with his ability, he should be able to keep the walled city intact." ”

When he said this, Xu Yuan paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, according to my understanding of the Luzon natives, although they claim to be kingdoms, in fact, there is no standing army in the country at all, and when they fight, they all temporarily recruit men from some tribes to serve as soldiers, such an army is not vulnerable at all, so if there is no accident, I am afraid that the evil ghosts have already defeated the other party's army." ”

Seeing that Xu Yuan was so confident in the evil ghosts and those sailors, Zhao Yan also trusted his judgment, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the moment, but then he frowned again, because although there was no need to worry about the safety of Banana Bay, there were more headaches to deal with next.
