In the afternoon, Fanning specially rested at home for half a day to accompany his family, and he set off early tomorrow morning, and it would take at least two months to return.

After lunch, Fan Ning hugged his son Fan Jing, who had just turned one and a half years old, and took his daughter Fan Zhen by the hand, and walked along the mountain road to the hill.

The hill is like a shell lying flat on the ground, the slope is very gentle, and the nurse often brings Fan Zhen'er up to play, she is already very familiar with this place.

They walked slowly up the hill along a five-foot-wide boulevard, and there was a pavilion above the top of the mountain, with dense trees on both sides, when Zhen'er suddenly pointed to the woods and shouted in surprise: "Daddy, look, Ah Fei and Xiaoxian!" ”

I saw two little deer appear at the edge of the woods, looking at them expectantly, these two little sika deer were also brought by them from the capital, a male and a female, they already knew Zhen'er, and they walked up slowly, Zhen'er ran up, took out two wheat cakes from the cloth bag, and fed them while touching their heads, Fan Jing was anxious in his arms, and he struggled to touch the deer.

Fan Ning was a little surprised when he saw that Xiaolu and his daughter were very familiar, and asked with a smile, "Zhen'er, do they know you?" ”

"Of course I do!"

Zhen'er said seriously: "I come with my uncle to feed them every day, and as soon as I call Ah Fei and Xiaoxian, they come out." ”

"Your uncle is here too?" Fanning was even more surprised, he thought that Zhu Zhe stayed in the house every day.

"Uncle likes them, and he knows the little squirrel. You see. ”

Zhen'er pointed to the top of the mountain, and Fan Ning noticed that Zhu Zhe was sitting in the pavilion, and several little squirrels were jumping around him, and even jumped on his head.

This harmonious scene made Fanning sigh in his heart, who said that autism lives in their own world, they are also communicating, but they are not communicating with people, they communicate with animals, and they can get along with each other like friends.

Fan Ning didn't want to disturb Zhu Zhe, so he smiled and said, "After feeding the deer, shall we go horseback riding?" ”

Fan Jing jumped up happily, "Daddy, let's go horseback riding!" ”

Zhen'er looked at a group of little squirrels and said reluctantly, "Okay! Then go horseback riding. ”

.........

played with his son and daughter for an afternoon, and Fan Ning didn't come back until dinner, the two children went to wash their hands, but Fan Ning didn't see Ouyang Qian, he was a little strange, "What about Sister Qian?" ”

"Sister Qian is a little uncomfortable and nauseous!"

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "Don't you want to ask what the reason is?" ”

Fan Ning was stunned in his heart, and then said with great joy: "Is it joyful?" ”

"It's possible, I called a doctor yesterday, and the doctor said that it can't be diagnosed yet, and it will take another month to wait."

Fan Ning quickly calculated the time, she should have been pregnant in the days when she returned to Beijing, and it should have been about a month and a half pregnant, and she just began to react, and nine times out of ten she was really pregnant.

Fanning was overjoyed that he was going to have a child again.

...........

Before dawn the next day, Fanning went out, and the family sent him to the backdoor dock, Fanning said to Aya a little apologetically: "Sister Qian, it's hard for you to take care of it." ”

Originally, Aya was going to accompany Fan Ning to the sea this time, but Ouyang Qian's pregnancy changed her plan, so she had to stay again.

Aya bowed obediently, "Officials, don't worry!" I will take care of Sister Qian, and the officials will take care of themselves. ”

Fan Ning nodded, and instructed Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian a few words, then waved his hand to everyone, and took a few entourages to get on the boat, and the ship sailed towards the sea, he will change the flagship of 30,000 stones on the dock, and lead a huge fleet of fifty ships to the South Seas.

...........

At this time, the South Seas was the middle of the Srivijaya Kingdom, which occupied Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and the eastern part of Java, while the Boni Kingdom occupied the northern part of Kalimantan, and the Indochina Peninsula was the Li Dynasty, the Cham Dynasty, and the Angkor Dynasty, and on Luzon there was the small country of Luzon, and on other islands such as Medan, there were a small number of indigenous people.

These kingdoms ruled the entire Nanyang region, but the economy was still quite backward, mainly in exchange for spices, gold, hawksbill turtles, coral, amber, precious wood and other items and the Song Dynasty for ceramics, ironware, cloth, brocade, sugar, wine and other daily necessities.

The target of the Song army was Luzon, and 50 large ships carrying 10,000 Song troops sailed southeast at a speed of 400 miles per day and night, and after ten days of sailing, the fleet gradually arrived at Luzon.

On the bow of the ship, Akihito, who accompanied him, looked worried, although he despised the king of Luzon, but he was still very uneasy when the 10,000 army went to Luzon, isn't this to destroy the country?

Fanning walked behind him, looked into the distance with his hands in his hands, and asked lightly, "Are you still worried about Luzon?" ”

"Isn't it too cruel to destroy the country?"

Fanning smiled, "I told you, I don't want to kill them, I need them to mine for me, of course, they can choose to move, I will give them a little compensation, but the Luzon Plain must give me out!" ”

"Where can they move to?"

"There's so much to go! Thousands of islands can be visited, and I think the Sulu Islands are good, they went south and changed the name of the country to Sulu, which is the best ending for them. ”

This is also Fanning's promise to the Governor's Hall, not to slaughter the country, although the ministers of the Governor's Hall acquiesced to Fanning's massacre in the Ryukyu Province, but it does not mean that they can continue to accept it, there is still some reason for the killing in the Ryukyu Palace, and the destruction of the country is completely immoral.

Fanning said, "You'd better persuade them to accept it." ”

"A-Ning, they are still in awe of the Great Song!"

"Awe?"

Fan Ning sneered and said: "In the hundred years since the founding of the country, I have never paid tribute to the Celestial Empire, I can't see where their respect is?" Not to mention that they don't have ships, I don't know how many cargo ships dock here every year, they won't be able to go to the Song Dynasty? Enjoying the items of the Great Song Dynasty, but without a little gratitude, without a little surrender, such a small country, who will die if they don't die? ”

Fanning is not wrong, at this time Luzon has been established for a hundred years, but it was not until the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty that people were sent to visit the Celestial Empire, during which the Luzon State and the Great Song Dynasty were busy with civil trade, but they never went to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute, on the contrary, the Kingdom of the Three Buddhas, which was much stronger than them, had gone to pay tribute many times.

Akihito had to sigh, he didn't know what to say, building a mansion in Luzon was already the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not for him to change it as a small person.

At this time, a soldier shouted from the mast: "I see land ahead!" ”

Fanning stepped forward, and sure enough, a black line appeared in front of him, and Akihito walked up and said in a deep voice: "This is the northernmost part of Luzon, but Luzon is still in the south, and it will take a day to reach Luzon." ”

In fact, Fanning knew that Luzon was in the position of Manila in later generations, but in fact, the country was very small, only the size of Manila, with a population of less than 100,000, and its productivity was very backward, mainly relying on spices and gold.

The fleet traveled south along the land, which was covered with endless dense forests, low mountains, plains on both sides of several large rivers, and many hilly areas with gentle terrain, which were also excellent agricultural areas.

The next morning, the Great Song fleet sailed into the bay, which later became Manila Bay, and the fleet stopped a few miles from the shore to deliver a message from a Boni merchant.

Standing on the boat, Fanning could clearly see the country of Luzon, all of which were low wooden houses, and where were the city walls?

Fanning glared back at Akihito, "Didn't you say that their capital is like a small county town?" Where are the city walls? ”

Akihito scratched his head and said, "I just said that the area of their capital city is like a small county town, and I didn't say that they have city walls!" ”

At this moment, a group of short, dark-skinned soldiers rushed forward, and they stood on the dock and shouted, carrying in their hands a long bamboo pole with a human head hanging from it, which was the merchant who had just gone to deliver the letter.

Akihito suddenly gasped and touched his neck, he had offered to deliver the letter, but Fanning vetoed it, and sent a Bonni merchant who was very familiar with the king of Luzon, but he was actually slaughtered.

Fanning's face immediately became gloomy, which was called shamelessness, and he actually killed the messenger he sent.

He then ordered, "Tell the army to come ashore!" ”

The first 20,000-stone ship slowly approached the shore, with a thousand troops on board, all wearing iron armor, holding large shields and spears, and then the second 20,000-stone ship also approached the shore, this ship was a thousand crossbowmen, who were responsible for cover.

The two large ships docked at the same time, and a group of soldiers rushed down and quickly assembled on the shore, and the Luzon soldiers on the shore were already frightened and rushed back to the city.

At this time, a rumbling drum was heard in the distance, and the army of Luzon was also rapidly gathering.

Fanning didn't know that there was a conflict between the elderly Luzon king Luo Gang and the prince Lagan, Luo Gang hoped to negotiate with the Song army, but Lagan had a fiery personality and resolutely did not agree to the negotiation, once the negotiation Song army had the opportunity to go ashore, they would lose their precious fighters, and in the end it was the prince Lagan who had the upper hand.

As a sign of determination, he ordered the beheading of the merchant who delivered the letter, and he personally led 10,000 soldiers to the dock to kill the Song army, taking the Song army by surprise and not giving the Song army a chance to go ashore.

The army of Luzon followed the example of Boni, dressed in rattan armor, holding spears and simple bows and arrows, and the soldiers were basically barefoot, wearing shorts and two pieces of rattan armor on the front and back, which was also the reason for the lack of pig iron in Luzon.

The capital was only ten miles from the bay, and in a short time the trumpets shook the sky in the distance, and the blackened soldiers rushed to the shore under the leadership of Prince Ragan.

A thousand ironclad spearmen were already in position, they were lined up in a long line, and the soldiers covering the rear fleet continued to go ashore, and in front of them, a thousand crossbowmen knelt on one knee and aimed their crossbows at the Luzon soldiers who were running.

They had only 2,000 men, while the other side had 10,000, a five-fold disparity in strength, but the third and fourth troop transports were docking, and reinforcements were about to arrive.

300 steps..... Two hundred steps...... One hundred and fifty steps, finally entering the killing distance.

The crossbowmen used the Divine Arm Crossbow, which could shoot through the iron armor of the Liao army within one hundred and fifty steps, but the rattan armor was inexperienced and did not dare to fire it prematurely.

"Launch!"

The commander gave an order, and the sound of bangzi suddenly sounded, and a thousand crossbow arrows shot towards the enemy army intensively.
