Chapter 165: Five Years
Li Luxian and Weatherby? The deal for Governor Swan did not go well. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
First, Weatherby did not believe in Li Luwei's so-called identity as the governor of Singapore, and secondly, Weatherby was also jealous of Li Luwei's identity as a wizard.
But fortunately, Weatherby didn't have the ability or courage to turn against Li Luan, so some verbal agreements were reached.
Of course, the deal didn't go well, and Li Luxian didn't take it very seriously, and the reason why he proposed the deal was just to maintain a little relationship with the protagonists in the original plot, just to intervene in the plot in the future, in case of emergency.
Compared with Weatherby's ugly face, Elizabeth is just the opposite, she is not afraid of Li Luwu at all, but relies on Li Luan, chasing after Li Luan's ass, constantly flattering and pleased, the purpose is to worship Li Luwu as a teacher.
According to Elizabeth, she wants to be like Li Luan, as soon as she stares, others will obediently obey, in that case, she will no longer have to be closed by her father to do her homework, and whoever dares to teach her, she will stare at whomever she wants.
If those who invented magic knew that the magic they invented was actually used to evade homework, I don't know if they would be so angry that they would come back directly from the undead world, and they must give this unfilial heir a good look.
Of course, although things didn't go so smoothly, the Aztec gold coins in Elizabeth's little Lori hand were taken by Li Luyou, and in exchange, Li Luwei handed over the little Lori's basic meditation method.
Anyway, in the future, Li Luwei will also establish a magic school to specialize in cultivating wizard talents, and when the time comes, these knowledge will be taught, and he doesn't care about it, so he should give Elizabeth a preview in advance. As for accepting Elizabeth as an apprentice, whoever wants to accept it can accept it, anyway, Li Luxian will not bother to do this, accept this kind of bear child as an apprentice, whoever accepts it knows.
Now that the basic purpose has been reached, Li Luwu will no longer stay, and directly choose to return to his base camp Singapore, since there is still time to spare, then, some plans can be started.
………………………………………………………………………………
Five years have passed in a flash.
Five years later, Singapore, the Governor-General's House of Singapore.
Li Luwu was wearing a blue robe and black coat, covered with a gorgeous coat, sitting on the sofa in the main seat, his eyes were shining.
And in the hands of Li Luan, Glass? Field, Aldington? Sharp, Arnold? Stoker, Mu Sang, Mu Ji and the others were sitting upright, and in addition to these five well-known Li Luan's subordinates, there was also a young man wearing an ancient Confucian robe.
Li Zhiyan is the man's name.
If Mu Sang and Mu Ji are military talents cultivated by Li Luan, then this Li Zhiyan is an elite in internal affairs.
Li Zhiyan is also a scholarly family, his grandfather is the right servant of the household who has done the three products, his father is also a prefect, and he himself is also a member of the imperial examination, which can be described as a real wealthy family, according to modern sayings, this Li Zhiyan is the second generation of standard officials, the second generation of power, and the winner of life.
It's a pity that the political struggle was too cruel, and just when Li Zhiyan was in the middle of the examination and was proud, misfortune struck.
The household department was found to have a huge deficit, and at this time, when the emperor wanted to aspire to reform, according to the current words, it was a hard crackdown, so the household department actually came out of such a big basket, and naturally someone had to come out of the top tank, very unfortunately, Li Zhiyan's grandfather, who had a shallow foundation in the central government, became a scapegoat, and with it, their entire Li family was exiled.
This Li Zhiyan was also met by Mu Ji in a solo led robbery, in line with the respect for the scholar in the bones of the Chinese nation, Mu Ji "saved" this scholar (obviously it was a robbery...). )。 This is Mu Ji, who was born as a fisherman, he naturally has a kind of respect for scholars, if Arnold was that reckless man, he would have been killed a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, this Li Zhiyan is also a capable person, after discovering that Li Zhiyan's force was actually led by Chinese, he immediately said that he wanted to take refuge in it, and started from the bottom, and it only took five years to climb to such a high position as the financial director little by little.
If Glass hadn't been old enough, perhaps the current governor of Singapore would have been Lee Chi Yan.
Li Lunan looked at the subordinates sitting under him, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, he nodded, and put his eyes on the table in front of him.
The table is very large, covering an area of more than ten square meters, and on top of the table, a huge map is spread out on it, and the map is drawn on nothing else, but the whole of Southeast Asia.
"Your Excellency, after yesterday it was the total annihilation of the Dutch in the Philippine Islands that the entire East Indies (present-day Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines. It's all in our hands. ”
Glass stood next to the map, his expression respectful.
Li Lunan nodded and turned his gaze to Arnold on the side.
Arnold was picking his nose with a bored face, noticing Li Luan's worried gaze, and suddenly a stirred spirit, and immediately stood up, "My lord, now we have 100,000 regular troops, 250,000 indigenous auxiliary troops, and 800 warships of all kinds. Feeling as if what he said was not enough, Arnold rolled his eyes and spoke again, "We are the sword in the hands of adults, vowing to overcome obstacles for adults, and the guidance of adults is our direction, we... ”
"Alright, Arnold." Li Luwei waved his hand very funny, "What nonsense are you talking about, you can't use idioms well, don't be embarrassed here." ”
"Yes, sir."
Arnold also felt very embarrassed, his big face was flushed, if it wasn't for the beard that could cover it, everyone could see Arnold's embarrassment.
glared at Mu Ji behind him hatefully, and Mu Ji shrank his head in fright, and Arnold sat down with an unwilling face.
Shaking his head and giving Arnold a funny look, Li Luwei turned his gaze to Aldington again, "Aldington, you say." ”
Aldington is no longer the child she used to be, the child has grown up, with fair and delicate skin, a handsome face without the slightest blemish, a pair of eyes that shine like jewels embedded under the thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a broad forehead that shows wisdom beyond ordinary people, long black hair scattered over the shoulders, and a melancholy expression that can move anyone in the silence, but makes people feel that the emotion is deep and elusive.
In Arnold's words, "Damn, it's getting more and more like a little white face." ”
"Your Excellency." Aldington bowed slightly, "The Dutch have completely withdrawn from the East Indies, and now only Siam still has a little Dutch surviving. ”
"The Ming Dynasty in the north has been completely chaotic, the Qing army has entered the customs, and now it has completely occupied the area north of the Yangtze River, although the remnants of the Ming Dynasty formed the Southern Ming regime, but they are constantly fighting, and they have set up several hills, depending on the situation, they can't resist the invasion of the Qing army at all."
"The East India Company has completed its invasion of India, and now India is still in power on the surface, but secretly, these Indian kings are under the 'protection' of the East India Company, and now Britain is increasing its investment in India, and its training of mercenaries has exceeded 50,000."
"The British and French have noticed us, but they are now busy opening up colonies, and we are mainly attacking the Dutch, so they are only vigilant and have not chosen to go to war with us directly."
"Taiwan's Qing Lady's pirate alliance is now more and more jealous of us, and recently there have been small moves, even the immigration trade that has been maintained well in the past has begun to go against the sun."
"David? We haven't been able to find Jones, and even the clues about the Flying Dutchman are just legends, and we can't determine his location, but we've put a bounty on it. “
"We haven't found Tiatoma's hermitage either, she seems to have noticed us, although we have determined the specific location through intelligence, but we just can't enter it, there is a strange force that has been blocking us."
"A week ago, we had a conflict with the Voodoo cult in South America, and three wizards died, but we also exterminated voodoo and got a lot of documentation."
Compared with Glass and Arnold, Aldington, the person in charge of intelligence, has a lot more reports, all kinds of things, some about various forces, some about various explorations, and even contains some hidden information.
"Leave the affairs of Britain and France alone for now, we will clean them up sooner or later." For Britain and France in this world, Li Luanwei doesn't pay attention to it at all, Li Luwei has a lot of hole cards, if he really wants to be ruthless, a lot of modern weapons will be taken out, and they will be leveled a long time ago, but what Li Luanwei wants is a complete colony that can provide him with a steady stream of resources, not a devastated ruins, he needs enough manpower to help him govern and suppress, so he has been letting Britain and France go.
"North, now is not the time, let those Tartars be arrogant for a few days." For his motherland, even if this motherland is not the other motherland, but Li Luwei still has some feelings, and he decided not to touch him when he didn't determine the time before, but now he has been invaded by the Tartars, and he is about to lose the country and extinct the species, whether it is emotionally or in terms of interests, Li Luwei has decided to intervene, but this meddle also needs a justifiable reason.
The immigration trade with the pirate alliance of the Qing Lady was reached in the years of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had come to an end, and the people were miserable and couldn't survive at all, and Li Luwei thought about immigrating some of the Ming people to his rule.
In this way, Li Luwei got on the line with Mrs. Qing through Xiaofeng, Li Luwei paid the money, and Mrs. Qing was responsible for transporting these people safely to her own territory.
However, now as Li Luan's strength is getting bigger and bigger, Mrs. Qing has sensed the crisis and is no longer willing to help Li Luwei increase her strength, if it weren't for the fear that Li Luwei would turn her face, it is estimated that Mrs. Qing would dare to directly cut off trade contacts, but even so, Mrs. Qing will ship fewer and fewer people every month.
However, Li Luwei also has a way, in the past, the strength was not strong, and he could only rely on the pirate alliance of Mrs. Qing, but now, Li Luwei has formed his own ocean-going transport fleet, going back and forth between Southeast Asia and the Ming Dynasty, and every month, tens of thousands of Ming people have joined his rule.
Now, Li Luan's regular army has been completely composed of Ming people, and for this reason, Li Luwei also deliberately formed an indigenous auxiliary army to avoid wasting resources.
"Teadorma will leave it there for now, and Davy Jones won't have to worry about it, now, give me all my strength to find the Fountain of Youth."
What really worries Li Lu is Tiatoma, that is, the goddess of the sea, Colybusso, who asked Aldington to spy on intelligence, just to know himself and his opponent, but since this has made this sea goddess vigilant, then, let's take it all back, now is not the time for a full-scale war with this god.
"So..."
Before Li Luwei could finish speaking, with an eagle chirp, a sea eagle had already flown into the conference room and landed in front of Aldington, with an envelope in its mouth.
All eyes were on Aldington.
Aldington opened the envelope, glanced at the ten lines, and immediately bowed to Li Lu.
"The latest information, our ocean-going convoy was attacked by Japanese pirates, and although the enemy was repulsed, it still lost one ship, thirty-two military casualties, and five hundred and twelve civilian casualties." (To be continued.) )
