Chapter 645: Luzon (I)

"Boss ......"

"Call me the commander, now I am the commander of the Pingbo Army of the Water Division, on the same level as you, you must not use the previous title again!" Before the evil ghost's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xu Yuan with a straight face.

Xu Yuan came to the south to accompany Zhao Yan to inspect the situation of sea trade, and was finally appointed by Zhao Yan as the commander of the Pingbo Army of the Water Division, speaking of which the army of the Great Song Dynasty is generally divided into four levels: box, army, battalion, and capital, of which the box has jurisdiction over 10 armies, the military has jurisdiction over 5 battalions, and the battalion has jurisdiction over 5 capitals, each with 100 people, that is to say, Xu Yuan and the evil ghost have 2,500 troops in their hands, and the converted into warships is 30 large war ships, in addition to a large number of supply ships, small warships, etc., unless the warship fleet of this size is encountered by the same size of the Great Song Dynasty sailors, Otherwise, he is an ignorant cunzi at sea, and he can hand over the strength of an army to Xu Yuan, which also shows Zhao Yan's trust in him.

"Hey, hey, get used to it!" The evil ghost smiled embarrassedly when he heard Xu Yuan's reprimand, and then corrected, "Commander Xu, His Royal Highness King Yue just said to let us go to Luzon this time, but he didn't say what to do in Luzon, let's not go around and come back, right?" ”

Hearing that the evil ghost finally asked him this question, Xu Yuan glanced at him with a smile, and then spoke: "Evil ghost, when I first came to the sea, we didn't have a fixed hiding place, and then I obeyed the construction of the king of Yue and took you to Liuqiu Island, and now we are going to Luzon to do no different from what we did on Liuqiu Island, that is, to build a port and stronghold there, so that we can open a port and other things in the future." ”

"What? Want to set up a stronghold on the Luzon side? The evil ghost screamed in shock when he heard Xu Yuan's words, because Luzon is not as far away as Liuqiu Island, and the natives on Luzon Island already have the concept of a country, which is much better than the natives on Liuqiu Island. Therefore, if they were to establish a stronghold in Luzon, they would inevitably clash with the local natives, so it was not an easy task.

Seeing the demon's surprised look, Xu Yuan smiled calmly and said, "I know what the devil is worried about, but we are well prepared this time, and the strength of your and my armies has reached five thousand." This can almost sweep the small countries of the South Seas, not to mention that we still carry a large number of firearms on the ship, so there is no need to worry about the meaning of those small native countries, if they dare to object, then let them taste the power of firearms, and wait until they are afraid, and then use some of the goods brought on the ship to trade with them, this is called a slap to a sweet date to eat, although it is very old-fashioned. But as long as it works. ”

"This ......" The evil ghost was shocked after hearing Xu Yuan's words, he had always thought that these pirate-born people were the real murderers, but now as he entered the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, he found that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were sometimes more ruthless than them, such as Zhao Yan, the prince, who usually smiled when he saw him, looking very kind, but he didn't expect him to make such a decision. By the time they reach Luzon, I don't know how many natives will die at their hands?

"Demons. There are some things that you have to learn not to figure out the reason for it, you just need to implement it according to the above meaning, just like when you were under me, no matter what I told you to do, you would do it well, which is what I admired you the most! At this time, Xu Yuan stepped forward and patted the old subordinate of the evil ghost on the shoulder and said. Compared with Yu Niang, the evil ghost is obviously more unsuitable for the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, so Xu Yuan spoke out to call him.

"I understand, in the future, I will regard His Royal Highness King Yue as the previous leader, no matter what he commands. I'll do it for no reason! "The evil ghost can become Xu Yuan's original right and left hand, naturally he is not a particularly stupid person, plus Xu Yuan has already made it very clear, if he doesn't understand it, he will be really stupid.

Seeing that the evil ghost understood, Xu Yuan nodded with satisfaction at the moment, but at this moment, the evil ghost suddenly smiled and said: "Commander Xu, it was supposed to be Yu Niang who came with you this time, but why did you insist on refusing to let me come with you, are you worried that the princess will think more?" ”

For Yu Niang's love for Xu Yuan, the evil ghost knows better than anyone else, and even from the heart, he hopes that Xu Yuan can be with Yu Niang, but unfortunately Xu Yuan has long been in his heart, and now he is married to the princess, but Yu Niang has never given up, and she often goes to Xu Yuan's house during this time, obviously to visit the princess, but the real intention is very intriguing.

"The princess is a generous woman, where would she be so careful, and she and Yu Niang have now become very good sisters, often chat with each other, sometimes I can't interject, if I take Yu Niang away when I leave, the princess will have no one to talk to, so I insisted on leaving Yu Niang behind." Xu Yuan said hard at this time, his wife Princess Shu had actually suspected the relationship between him and Yu Niang for a long time, but the princess of Shu didn't know what to think, and she deliberately befriended Yu Niang, which made Xu Yuan feel frightened every time he saw Yu Niang come to his mansion, and always thought that it was not a good thing for these two women to be together.

"Hehe, I don't know if the princess is generous, but I know that Yu Niang has never given up on you, if you want me to say that our Great Song Dynasty's concubines are not forbidden to take concubines, as long as you can say that the princess agrees, then Yu Niang's side will be willing even if she is a concubine!" The evil ghost spoke again at this time, and he wanted to help match Xu Yuan and Yu Niang.

Xu Yuan heard the words of the evil ghost, but he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The princess and I are in love, and we really can't tolerate other people between each other, and Yu Niang is a good woman, I can't delay her, so after you go back, persuade her, let her find a good family to marry, don't spend your mind on me!" ”

"It's been delayed, leader, you don't count how old the fish girl is this year? In two years, she will be almost thirty years old, and other women can almost be grandmothers at this age, but she has been waiting for you stupidly, so you can really bear to watch her marry someone else? The evil ghost is also a little anxious at this time, he has always regarded Yu Niang as his own sister, so he is also very concerned about her affairs, if it weren't for Xu Yuan is his former boss, I'm afraid he would have tied up Xu Yuan and stuffed it into Yu Niang's bed.

"This ......" Xu Yuan also showed a hesitant look when he heard the words of the evil ghost, if he said that he was not moved by Yu Niang at all, even he would not believe it, after all, for such an infatuated woman, as long as it is not a stone, he will be a little moved, and he doesn't want to watch her marry someone else, which is also a common problem of men, just let him take Yu Niang as a concubine, but he feels sorry for Yu Niang, and he is worried about the thoughts of the princess of Shu, so he has not expressed anything to Yu Niang.

Although the evil ghost is a careless and reckless man, he also knows that he can't be too tight in terms of feelings, so after he saw Xu Yuan's contemplative expression, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Boss, while the princess and Yu Niang are not around during this time, you should think about it seriously, at least give Yu Niang an explanation, otherwise you really can't say it." ”

After the evil ghost finished speaking, he turned around and left Xu Yuan's flagship, leaving Xu Yuan alone to stand at the head of the boat in a daze, he asked himself that he has always been a decisive person, but when facing emotional problems, Xu Yuan's appearance was even inferior to Zhao Yan, and it took a long time to see him sigh faintly, and then turned around and returned to the cabin.

Xu Yuan and the others set out from Guangzhou, and the positioning of the compass and the stars went all the way to the southeast, and after a long half a month of trekking, they finally came to Luzon, but there was an angle deviation in the direction they were going, so they finally stopped on the west side of Luzon, instead of at the northern end closest to the Great Song Dynasty.

The natives on Luzon Island have indeed appeared the concept of a country, and some small countries have appeared on the island, dividing the entire Luzon Island into several spheres of influence, but the indigenous civilization on Luzon Island is very backward, for example, the small natives here can only make some small boats such as canoes, and this kind of small boat can only sail in the coastal seas, and has no ability to go to a fairly distant country like the Great Song Dynasty, so only the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty come here on the Luzon side, and exchange some goods for the island's specialties, such as Luzon Island's rich gold, If you can find a tribe with gold mines, you can immediately make a maritime merchant rich because of it, but the natives on Luzon are brutal, and as long as the maritime merchants of the Great Song Dynasty get off the ship, there is no safety at all, so few people dare to venture to Luzon to make a fortune.

Xu Yuan and the evil ghost led a huge fleet to Luzon, immediately broke the peace here, they arrived on the west side of Luzon Island and found a natural excellent port, and then docked ashore, with them came a merchant named Wu Lai, who had been to Luzon several times before, he was not only familiar with the terrain of Luzon, but also knew the local language on the island, this time he followed Xu Yuan and them as a guide, of course, he was not in vain, Xu Yuan and their fleet helped Wu Lai carry a lot of goods, How much he can sell at that time is up to him.

"Wu Lai, this is the territory of the small country on Luzon Island, is there any good port besides this?" Xu Yuan stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the desolate place in front of him, and then turned to Wu Lai beside him and asked.

Wu Lai is a thin old man of nearly sixty, but when he heard Xu Yuan's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "General, you are a little embarrassed, although I have been to Luzon a few times, but the land here is vast and sparsely populated, I can't know it everywhere, plus there are constant wars between the native kingdoms, maybe today this kingdom belongs to this kingdom, and tomorrow it will belong to another kingdom, so the best way is to catch a native and ask."
