The earth began to shake violently, and the ships shook.

The Luzon people by the sea are still scolding and complaining.

If it weren't for Emperor Han's early warning, they wouldn't have been nervous for three days and two nights in a row, losing precious time and energy in vain, and they didn't have a good night's sleep.

His own King Luoshe did not take the warning of Emperor Han to heart and made a vigilance.

The masses who eat melons are so nervous for an ethereal warning.

What kind of god are you to predict a natural disaster?!

"Yes, I thought that there would be an earth dragon turning over and trying to protect himself and his family, but it was all for nothing!"

"It's just a joke! Doesn't he know how much pressure this will put on us? “

Resentment was building in the hearts of the Luzon people, who felt misled.

Because of the friendliness of the Han merchants, a large number of goods helped them, and they were originally willing to believe in the bottom of their hearts.

But under the threat of early warning, I spent a few days of anxiety and tension, my life was disrupted, and my daily affairs were put on hold.

Now, when they see that everything is calm, the mood of discontent has almost reached its peak.

Damage to bilateral relations.

But the waves got bigger and bigger, and gradually someone noticed that something was wrong.

Looking at the monstrous waves, Fang was still using the vernacular of poor words, scolding the scolding Luzon people, completely shrouded in sudden fear.

The land was not calm either, and you could almost feel a very obvious shaking of the earth, but I didn't know where it was moving.

As the shaking intensified, the waves also began to become unusually rough.

Huge waves, stirred up like raging waves, gradually increased in height, forming a terrible tsunami.

With the shaking of the ground and the arrival of the tsunami, the port of Manila, where the crowd gathered, almost fell into chaos.

Under the force of the landslide, the small houses made of wood and adobe crumbled.

Huge waves suddenly rolled up, towering like mountains, roaring in.

The tsunami ravaged the entire port, overturning the houses next to the port and sweeping away the fragile houses into the water.

The sea carries a relentless force, like a roaring beast, destroying everything that stands in its way.

"Get on board, get on board!!"

Some Han people shouted loudly, and the children of the family on the shore, along with some sailors, boarded the boat without hesitation.

But few Luzonians followed.

Even they felt that this group of Han people was not seriously ill.

The ship is in the people, and the ship is sinking and the people are dying?

Don't board a ship in a tsunami!

On land, at most offshore locations, there is a risk of being swept into the sea.

Or in the midst of the collapse of the ground, encountering an accident.

But it's much safer than being on a ship.

On the boat, there are waves on all sides, and you can't run away if you want to!

Especially your big man's donkey-headed boat, which looks funny and has a broken wheel.

Do you want to use it amphibious?

Not even the Luzon who looked at the ships more.

The vigilant are running around, trying to find safe ground to take refuge in.

Some rose up and tried to protect their families and find a place of safety.

Others remain silent, in despair and grief.

But many more people are powerless to resist the mighty forces of nature, panic and run at a loss.

There is no way, he is directly swept into the water, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.

Earthquakes and tsunamis made the Luzon people collapse at the touch of a button.

However, the Han people were on a swaying boat, leisurely.

The huge waves of the tsunami swept like an angry dragon, and the ship was repeatedly impacted in the waves, constantly jolting and shaking.

Some of the Luzon fishermen's boats have sunk completely.

But Dahan's fleet, with the surging waves, seems to be swallowed up at every moment, but it is extremely firm, bearing huge wind and waves, but it is unsinkable.

The planks on the side of the ship, creaking, seemed to be destroyed by a violent impact at any moment, but they were hard not to crack.

The mast was also swaying in the wind and rain, and the tightened sails were blown open, but they were stunned.

He Hong even dared to stand on the deck, brave the wind and waves, and cast nets to catch fish.

The fleet of the Great Han is like an empty gourd in a water tank.

No matter how much you press down, it will not sink into the water and will stubbornly float on the water.

Even if you have to force force to press the gourd, the gourd slides away effortlessly as if it has been stained with lubricant.

It's outrageous.

Some of the Luzon people who were swept into the sea, relying on their watery nature, occasionally showed their heads and took a few breaths.

At first glance, you can see the unsinkable merchant ship of the Han Dynasty.

They were stunned.

Doubts arose in my heart.

Is Luzon Mansion so hanging?

In the tsunami, can the ship be kept unsinkable??

Then there was a cry for help.

"Prepare for the rescue."

Liu Ke immediately ordered to save people.

Now is the time to show the majesty of the Great Han.

"Help!!"

The boats abandoned their waists to rescue the Luzonians.

Tie a gourd around your waist to cross the water.

This gourd is the waist boat, a big gourd, which belongs to the characteristics of Qiongzhou.

It can not only be used as a lifebuoy, but also a simple vehicle.

Because the upper part of the gourd is open, clothes, dry food and other items can be packed inside the gourd, and then covered to prevent it from getting wet.

After landing, take out the clothes from the gourd and put them on, and you can carry the gourd on your back and continue to hurry.

The Luzon people didn't know the waist boat, but when they saw this thing floating on the water, they also understood how to use it.

So he grabbed his waist and tried to get on the boat.

After this scene, they completely understood.

There is no safer place than the donkey-headed boat of the Great Han.

The funny donkey's head is like a god.

It's okay for the children of the family to bring goods, and it's still unreliable to expect them to save people.

Those who came to the rescue were all sailors and soldiers.

In this way, the ships and sailors of the Han Dynasty became a ray of hope in the midst of disaster, helping those in trouble to regain their confidence.

When the earthquake and tsunami subsided, the entire port of Manila was almost in ruins.

Most of the houses were destroyed, and the Luzon people lost their homes and loved ones, and their hearts were filled with pain and helplessness.

However, it was under this disaster that the Han people, led by Liu Ke, showed a brave and calm side.

What is a big country?

The healers, who were skilled in medicine, went out of their way to help the wounded Luzonians.

Some warriors, risking their lives, searched for the trapped and tried to save them.

They supported the Luzon people to resist this catastrophe together, and tried their best to protect this group of strangers who were not related to each other.

Liu Ke also started it personally, that is, between his words, he somewhat revealed the meaning of "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning".

Behold, why are you Luzonites so miserable?

Because of natural disasters.

But someone has clearly warned of natural disasters!

King Roshe didn't take it to heart.

So why are there natural disasters?

And because of King Luoshe, according to Han culture, this is King Luoshe's immorality.

The Luzon people meant to be unbelieving.

But the dilapidated scene is right in front of you.

The home is gone, and the money is gone.

People are still alive.

Every Luzon who survived only felt sorrow in their hearts.

After such a pinch again.

"Ouch, my old hen just laid eggs today."

"The chicken shed is down, and you still care about a few eggs in the chicken coop?"

Nothing could be done, and the Luzon people could only scold and complain angrily as before.

Their anger was palpable.

He constantly rebukes his own king of Roshe.

It is believed that he did not take the early warning of the Han Emperor to heart and did not take sufficient precautions.

It is even strange that not enough attention has been paid to this kind of emergency, when natural disasters are at the forefront.

The power of the king of Roshe was limited to the royal capital of Batangas.

The control over the whole of Luzon is not strong.

Some of the Luzon nobles who had mines at home were almost equivalent to the Tu Emperors.

Therefore, scolding does not carry any psychological burden.

"This King Roshe is so irresponsible!"

A Luzon nobleman cursed loudly, his face full of anger and disappointment.

"Emperor Ming Han issued an early warning and told us that there might be an earthquake and tsunami, but he didn't care!"

"Now we have been hit by this natural disaster and have suffered heavy losses!"

"The port of Manila, which we worked so hard to build, was destroyed, and our property was burned!"

Another Luzon complained with a hissing voice.

"We hardly slept a restful night, worrying about the earthquake and tsunami."

"And what about this King Roshe? But he was unhurried and didn't pay attention to the warning. ”

"It doesn't seem to care about our lives and safety!"

Complaints arose, and the emotions of the people of Luzon became more and more agitated.

"I think it's because of King Luoshe's lack of virtue, the porcelain and silk of the Han Dynasty are all good things, and he is willing to buy those worthless peppers."

"It's a good thing, but he also restricts trade, so the gods have sent a calamity to punish Luzon!"

When something bad happens, someone has to find the blame.

The Luzonians felt betrayed and abandoned, and expressed extreme doubts about the prestige of King Rosher.

"We need a king who really cares about us!"

Someone shouted angrily.

"This King Roshe is not worthy to be called our king!"

"He only cares about Batangas and enjoys himself, and he doesn't care about our plight at all."

"We need a king who can lead us through this!"

Near the sea, there was a lot of invective.

Prigo also survived, but at this time, he did not dare to come forward at all.

In the aftermath of a disaster, people do need a way to vent their emotions.

He was a minister of Luzon and represented King Roshe in the port of Manila, negotiating with the Han Chinese.

But he and his 2,000 soldiers relied on the Batangas in the rear to be in arrears for a day or two from time to time in order to have enough to eat.

At this time, there was not even anything for disaster relief.

It is completely impossible to calm the emotions of the population.

And the Port of Manila is just a seaport, an ordinary gathering place, and there are no officials at all.

If he, an official representing King Roshe, came forward, he would not be pleased.

It is not used as disaster relief food because the meat is too old to taste.

"Line up, one by one!"

At this moment, a team of Han army sailors got off the boat.

Led by Gan Wenban and Fu Xuance, they began to set up a stove and cook porridge.

"Don't, it won't work! It's all money!! ”

Only He Hong was still crying without tears, crying as if his brother was dead.

Everyone subconsciously ignored him.

There was even a tiger kun that pushed a Luzon man who fell into the water and fell into a coma to the shore.

Then he was next to the sailor's boat, flapping his tail and motioning for them to follow.

Half a day later, the ship dragged a fat humpback kun back to the harbor.

The people of Luzon were in tears.

Kunkun not only provided them with leather clothes to wear to bless them in the disaster, but also took the initiative to cut meat and feed people.

It's really worthy of being the king of Luzon!

The porridge on the stove brought endless hope and warmth to the Luzon people who were affected by the disaster.

The people of Luzon were all grateful, and their eyes were full of respect for the Han people.

I was completely moved by this kindness, this magnanimity of a great country.

Seeing the care and support of the Han people, they felt that they were not alone, and even gathered together and began to rebuild in pieces.

The first project is to rebuild the Han people's Goolan tile house first.

Even Prigo, and those soldiers, accepted it silently.

There was a heartfelt gratitude in his expression.

There are even some strange emotions in my heart.

Compared with King Luoshe, the logistics food that will be in short supply at both ends in three days, and the great Han Tianzi who sent charcoal in the snow is obviously more moving.

"The generosity of the Han people is truly touching and we will always remember it."

"The Han people not only gave us food, but also gave us hope and courage to survive, and made us believe that life would return to normal."

"Yes, we also need to use our strength to help other people affected by the disaster!"

In the past few days, in addition to scolding King Roshe, the Luzon people are lamenting the generosity of the Han Dynasty.

Prigo saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

To incite again, these Luzon people in the port of Manila are definitely going to rebel.

Even if the Emperor of the Han Dynasty raised his arms and led them to attack Batangas directly, it might become a reality.

But Prigo had no choice but to repair a letter and send it to King Roshe urgently.

How can you rely on other countries to do such things as disaster relief?

The king of his own family should also be ruthless and give some blood, so as to save his image in the eyes of the Luzon people.

——

Batangas.

King Rosher looked at the telegrams sent from all around, and his eyes flickered.

Luzon is not very large, and a landslide of high intensity can spread throughout the entire island.

It was not without experience in previous years, and King Roshe had actually been accustomed to it for a long time.

After every landslide and tsunami, send people to help, and you can also brush up a wave of prestige.

But this time is clearly different.

Emperor Han had early warnings.

Although it was delayed for several months, he really didn't take the warning seriously before, and he didn't take any precautions at all.

If there is no landslide, it is not a big problem.

But now that the earth has really come, everyone is pointing the finger at him.

The letter of early warning from the Han Emperor, he didn't even know where to throw it for a long time.

"What an insult!"

"It's a bunch of fucking five-baht money!!"

King Roshe gritted his teeth and roared under his breath.

This was not only a turmoil in the hearts of the people in Luzon, and the subsequent Han people took the lead in providing relief to the victims, but also a provocation to his own royal power and rule.

Coupled with the complaints that erupted everywhere, King Rosher deeply felt that his prestige was threatened, and his heart was filled with an irrepressible anger.

"The Han people will inevitably pay for this!"

His fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.

"Your Highness is angry."

Shaogu on the side hurriedly comforted.

Now the Luzon people who have been affected by the disaster, under the relief of the Han people, have basically become walking five-baht coins.

It's no use getting angry, you have to take action and do something.

"What can you do?"

King Roshe was a persuasive person, and after a little venting, his emotions eased a lot.

Instead, I began to think seriously about countermeasures.

Shaogu's brows furrowed.

The situation is not good.

Originally, the trade restrictions made some Luzon nobles complain.

The repeated prohibition of private trading also led to the outflow of Luzon gold.

Coupled with this natural disaster, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If the Han Emperor really raised his arms in the name of King Luoshe's immorality, those who have money will pay, those who have grain will pay for it, and those who have no money and no food will join the army.

Then he called on the Luzon people to attack Batangas and capture the king of Roshe.

It's really hard to say how things will develop when the time comes.

Even if the Han Dynasty nominally could not completely bring Luzon under its rule, it would be easy to support a puppet to govern Luzon.

Neither King Roshe nor Shaogu thought that a trade between the two countries would develop like this.

The slightest carelessness is a loss of sovereignty.

Shaogu thought about it for a moment or two, and was also ruthless, and said:

"First strikes."

"How?"

When King Roshe heard Shaogu's suggestion, he stopped what he was doing and frowned.

Now it can even be regarded as the most critical moment in the hundreds of years since the founding of Luzon.

We must no longer sit idly by, and we must take concrete action to preserve Luzon's sovereignty.

His eyes became solemn, and he crossed his hands over his chest, motioning for Shaogu to continue.

After pondering for a moment, Shaogu said firmly:

"What we are most worried about now is that the Han people will induce people to start a rebellion."

"Although there are still Prigo and 2,000 soldiers in the port of Manila, there will inevitably be losses under the landslide and tsunami."

"I can't say, there will be some soldiers, under the bewitchment of the Han people, who have already turned their hearts to the Han."

"We can send 5,000 men to Prigoga, and then make him pretend to defect to the Han."

"Prigo pretended to rebel, but because the grain has always been in our hands, and there are five thousand more mouths, they don't have enough money and food to move the army."

"In this way, let the big man provide money and food."

"Let Prigo return to Batangas with money and food, under the slogan of counterinsurgency, and then surrender to His Highness."

"Not only can the prestige of His Highness be restored, but the Han people in the port of Manila will also fall into a shortage of grain because of the supply of grain that Prigo needs."

"Even if the Han people can continue to rely on the fishing of kun to barely provide for their daily needs, they will certainly not be able to continue to provide relief to the victims."

"This little people, that's it."

"You have always been kind to him, give him food, and he will take it for granted."

"If you suddenly don't give him any favor, he will hold a grudge."

"Not only can the contradictions be transferred to the Han people, but also the Han people can retreat earlier."

"As long as the Han people leave Luzon, what happens in the country is in the hands of His Highness."

King Roshe listened attentively, his expression serious.

He knew that there was nothing wrong with Shaogu's suggestion, which not only calculated the Han people, but also calculated the hearts of the people.

It's just that he took a deep look at Shaogu again.

The strategy is good, and multiple problems have been solved.

But the price paid was Prigo's life.

On the grounds of rebellion, Prigo approached the Han army and marched all the way to the royal capital.

Even if he finally surrendered, it would be a great blow to the prestige of King Roshe.

So his end is only a dead end.

Shaogu is really calculating, not only solving the trouble caused by the Han people, but also solving a political enemy.

"We can also contact Bo Nidao to enlist their support and assistance, and if Emperor Han really takes action against Luzon, we will no longer be isolated and have more allies to rely on."

Shaogu continued to offer advice.

King Roshe had already made up his mind at this time:

"You can choose the five thousand men sent by Naga."

"It has to be a confidant, it has to be reliable enough."

King Roshe didn't hesitate much, Shaogu has always looked at Prigo unpleasantly, and he will definitely carefully select the soldiers, so as not to make Prigo's fake play and really surrender to Han.

As for Prigo's life.

Although they are cronies, at this time, it is worth it to exchange a life for the sovereignty of Luzon.

It's just a cook, and he died as he deserved.

King Roshe was not afraid of Prigo's backlash.

Prigo's wife and children are all in Batangas, and the 5,000 people sent by Naga will not obey Prigo.

As long as Prigo makes the slightest move, he can directly cut it down.

After Prigo received the secret letter, he was a little entangled.

He knew what King Roshe meant, and he guessed his end.

But no matter what you do, it seems that you can't escape death.

If he did not obey the orders of King Roshe, the five thousand men cut him down directly.

Obeying the orders of King Roshe, there is still some life.

Maybe, I can find a stand-in or something to replace my death.

Just when he was entangled, a Han man came and invited him to a banquet.

Prigo habitually responded.

In the past few months, the Han people have been treating guests to dinner, and they are quite friendly.

In recent days, due to the impact of the disaster, I haven't eaten and drunk much.

Now that the reconstruction has been roughly completed, and there are 5,000 people sent from Wangdujia, it is normal for the Han people to want to continue to trade, treat them to dinner, and have a relationship with Lala after the disaster.

"At the time of the banquet, I will discuss with the Emperor Han and earn the money and grain back to Batangas."

Prigo felt a little unbearable.

Even if the Han people have ulterior motives, they are sincere and have done things for Luzon.

A large number of Luzon victims were rescued.

He was an honest man, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of trickery.

But for the sake of his wife and children, and for the sake of Luzon not being seized by the Han people, there is no way.
