Chapter 418: To Qiongnan

On June 15, Lu Yun heard good news. Liuqiu Shipyard's first Garen ship was completed and the trial sailing was successfully completed. Li Hao was so happy. Soon, the newly built Garen ship appeared in Pearl Harbor. The huge hull was obviously larger than other ships around him, majestic and domineering. The fastest update

Although this Galen ship is just a small Galen ship and will inevitably be eliminated in the future, it is the first one after all, and it has great significance for epoch-making. Li Hao personally named the "Kidate" for this ship. Yes, this ship will be a starting point for Li Hao to set off the era of great navigation.

Next, Li Hao and Lu Zhi asked for all the shipbuilding data and drawings of "Qidian" and copied them by himself. He wanted to take these drawings to Qiongnan and build another shipyard there.

When Li Hao thought that he would set off an era of great navigation, he was very excited. Although there were many construction data and drawings for the Galen ship, he decided to copy it alone. For a whole month, Li Hao spent most of his time in the study. On July 15th, Li Hao finally completed the copying.

Li Hao's three wives also finished their confinement period, and then Li Hao's itinerary began.

On July 17, Li Hao's fleet left Pearl Harbor, and there was an additional ship in the fleet. Yes, it was the Garen ship "Qidian". Li Hao also took away three important craftsmen who participated in the construction of Qiidian. One of them was Lu Zhi's nephew Lu Song. Lu Song was 31 years old this year. He has been following Lu Zhi for so many years and has already obtained the true teachings of Lu Zhi. Li Hao planned to build another craftsman team after he arrived in Qiongnan and let Lu Song lead him. He could imagine that he was busy after he arrived in Qiongnan.

In the summer, the sea was strong, and Li Hao and the others encountered a sea breeze. Fortunately, they sailed near the coastal areas. The boat was followed by Pei Miao, a meteorological expert, and predicted in advance that there would be wind and rain. Li Hao and the others chose to dock. Because it was a temporary stop, the coast was a wilderness, and there were only some fishing villages. I found out that this place belonged to Guangzhou Prefecture. The closest to this place were Guangzhou and Xunzhou. Guangzhou was in the northwest and Xunzhou was in the northeast. Li Hao checked the map and found him.

The place where they are now is very likely Hong Kong in the future world. He personally led his people to ride horses along the coast to view the terrain and draw maps. After four or five days, he roughly drew the coastal terrain. Li Hao found that the area they were in should be the western section of Lantau Mountain. In this way, it is even more certain that this is Hong Kong in the future world. It turns out that Hong Kong in ancient times was desolate. Although these fishermen were people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they lived on the island, and their transportation was inconvenient and their lifestyle was extremely backward.

Li Hao secretly decided that after he settled down in South Qiong, he would definitely open two ports here, one in Hong Kong Island and one in Lantau Island, so that this place would flourish because this location is an excellent port location. Why Hong Kong is called a port is determined by its special geographical location.

After so many days of rest here, the wind and rain have passed. Li Hao and the others set off again. Twelve days later, they finally arrived at the legendary Qiongnan Island.

Currently, there are only three states in southern Qiong, and the spans of the three states are quite wide, namely Yazhou in the north of the island, Danzhou in the southwest, and Zhenzhou in the southwest of the island.

The reason why these three states were separated was that when they were first built, they planned to use three regions as bases to spread to the center of the island and then cover the entire island.

However, according to Li Hao, this idea seems to have died of a baby. Because there are many mountains in the Southern Peninsula and large areas of tropical rainforest, many indigenous people living in southern Qiong live in it. They are very boycotting the Tang people. Although after so many years of hard work, many indigenous people have gradually begun to accept the Tang people and trade and trade with the Tang people, there are still a large number of indigenous people who do not like the Tang people.

Li Hao naturally had to go to Yazhou first when he arrived. After all, Yazhou is the political center of southern Qiongnan. Yazhou is on the north of the island and is close to the Qiongzhou Strait. Li Hao first ordered the ship to drive into the Qiongzhou Strait. Shortly after entering the strait, he saw a port on the shore on the south side. Li Hao and his fleet headed to the port. He saw that the port was very small and the buildings were simple. A city could be seen east through a telescope. Li Hao picked up the map and looked at it for a while, muttering to himself: "It must be Yancheng to the east. This port should be Haikou Port. The mountain behind the port seems to be Qiongshan."

Li Hao's fleet entered the port, causing a lot of sensation. Haikou Port was not big at first, and their fleet attracted hundreds of people to visit.

After entering the port, Li Hao's ship began to call his Qiongnan Prince. The guards and the people on the shore exclaimed and discussed. The owner of the fleet actually claimed to be the Qiongnan King. They had never heard of it. King Qiongnan, isn't that the biggest figure in Qiongnan?

There is a river from Haikou Port that can directly lead to the southern peninsula in Qiongnan, called Shecheng Water. The reason why Shecheng Water is called Shecheng Water is because it passes through Shecheng, and the capital of Yazhou is located in Shecheng.

Li Hao originally planned to go to Shecheng from the water of Shecheng, but now it is blowing southeast wind and the water also flows northward. He is facing the wind and the ship cannot drive in, so he can only order to land.

Li Hao and his men got off the boat one after another and started Li Hao's car and honor. The bobcats were guarding the boat with special forces and hundreds of guards, because the boat was full of supplies, and they had to be well guarded and not make any mistakes. Only when Li Hao settled his residence could the supplies and money be moved off the boat.

As soon as Li Hao's ceremonial guard was put out, the people around the harbor were so scared that they retreated. King Qiongnan, how can they not be afraid? It sounds very scary.

There were more than 30 soldiers guarding the harbor here. Seeing Li Hao fighting such a big ceremonial war, they all gathered together and stared at Li Hao and his team nervously.

Li Hao naturally discovered them and sent Li Guocheng to ask them. Li Guocheng walked to the group of guards and shouted loudly: "Who has the highest position here?"

Immediately a soldier stepped forward and walked: "I am the mate, Wang Chuan."

"The King of Guards." Li Guocheng bowed, "I am the chief of the guards under the command of Li Hao, the King of Qiongnan. I came to ask questions at the order of King of Qiongnan. May I ask Cui Wenxian, the governor of Yazhou, in Shecheng?"

The governor of Yazhou was named Cui Peng, whose courtesy name was Wenxian. He served as the governor of Yangzhou many years ago. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, he was exiled to Yazhou for his poor control of Yangzhou floods and has not been restored to this day.

Li Hao had asked about Cui Peng before he came. How to evaluate this person? Use good people to evaluate him. Why should he be evaluated by "good people"? First of all, Cui Peng is indeed a good person. He is not corrupt or abused by the law, nor does he deceive his superiors and subordinates, nor does he embezzle and accept bribes. He is an official upright and honest, and is a clean official.

But he is just a good person. Why? Because he is a scholar and has read too much, he is a bit out of touch with the actual society and is also stubborn and inflexible in doing things. He is naturally not a problem for small things, but when encountering big things, he is prone to making mistakes. He is naturally not curable to send him to deal with floods, so he deserves to be demoted.

Cui Peng is basically the kind of incompetent minister Li Hao said. He was not an official at all. He was able to become the governor of Yangzhou at the beginning, which shows how many points his identity as a good person added to him.

Wang Chuan didn't dare to ask more about Li Hao, the King of Qiongnan, and could only answer accordingly: "Governor Cui is in the shelter city."

"Thank you." Li Guocheng said, "I'd like to ask the King of the King to send someone to Shecheng to inform Governor Cui. King of Qiongnan Li Hao and General Xue Rengui, the commander of the Zhechong of Yazhou, will come. I'll take my family to Shecheng to visit Governor Xue later."

"Li Hao!" Wang Chuan exclaimed when he heard this, "Are you talking about the war god Li Hao?"

Li Guocheng was happy when he heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "Have you ever heard of my prince's reputation?"

Wang Chuan said excitedly: "As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have never heard of the new military god of the Tang Dynasty? General Li is my god general of the Tang Dynasty. Even in this bitter place in Qiongnan, General Li's name is well-known!"

Li Guocheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, but it's still important to do it. Please tell Governor Cui quickly."

"Okay, I'll go now!" Wang Chuan said quickly and turned to the soldiers behind him, "Two tigers and three tigers, you two go to Shecheng to inform Governor Cui, and they say that General Li Hao, the King of Qiongnan, is here, and the new Zhechong Commander General Xue Rengui, will also arrive together. They will go to Shecheng to visit Governor Cui soon."

"Yes!" The two soldiers immediately took the order and turned around and led the horse to report the news.

Li Guocheng talked about Wang Chuan for a few more times, and returned to Li Hao to report: "Prince, they have sent someone to inform him."

"Yes." Li Hao nodded and asked curiously, "You have been talking to that person there for a long time, what are you talking about?"

Li Guocheng said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you don't know anything. It turns out that your reputation has already reached Qiongnan!"

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What's the reputation of being a bastard?"

"No, how could it be a reputation as a bastard?" Li Guocheng said excitedly, "It's your reputation for being invincible. Wang Chuan, the team leader, said that everyone in their army called you the new military god, and said you were the god general of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Haha." Li Hao smiled indifferently and said with a smile, "They are still very sensible." This sentence is very pretentious.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ruihuan raised his right hand to cover his face, leaned over to Chen Song, and whispered: "Oh, the boss's shameless problem seems to be serious again."

Chen Song nodded: "Yes."

Li Hao suddenly turned his head and looked at the two of them, and asked with a sneer, "You two, what are you chewing on the back?"

Chen Song hurriedly pointed at Zhu Ruihuan, with an innocent look on his face and said, "Zhu Erdo said you are shameless."

Zhu Ruihuan was angry and anxious when he heard this, pointed at Chen Song and said, "You nodded."

Chen Song still looked innocent and said, "I'm dozing off."

Zhu Ruihuan said hurriedly: "You even nodded."

"I'm talking in my sleep." Chen Song didn't realize what shamelessness was and talked lies with his eyes open.

Zhu Ruihuan stared and shouted: "Stand still sleeping? Who are you lying to?"

Chen Song said seriously: "I used to be a killer, and it was common to sleep while standing."

Li Hao nodded repeatedly when he heard this. Zhu Ruihuan asked anxiously when he saw this: "Boss, do you believe what he said?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I don't believe it anymore, I'm not stupid."

Zhu Ruihuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could pull Chen Song into the water, otherwise he would be so unhappy. Who told him to betray his own first?
