"We won't go back to Luzon again!" Zhu Yunniang felt a little sad thinking about the heroic female governor.
"Not for the time being!" Qian Wubing shook his head: "Maybe it would be good to wait a few months before sending someone over there to have a look!"
"There are not many enlightened people on Luzon Island. The epidemic came so suddenly this time and they were not prepared. This time, many people will die!" Zhu Yunniang knew how serious the plague was.
Thinking about the disease raging in that place that was originally the royal land, I felt uncomfortable.
"You girl!" Qian Wubing and she walked slowly on the beach with bare feet: "Because there are not many people in my Ming Dynasty, even if the epidemic spreads this time, our Ming Dynasty will not suffer the most.
People, but the local natives and the Spaniards, I have asked Siniang to give the cure for this disease to the girl of the Xu family. Some people will definitely die, but if the girl is a little more capable,
After the epidemic, these survivors on the island will probably be the most powerful, so you don’t have to worry about them!"
"I'm not worried about her!" Zhu Yunniang said stiffly: "I heard that Si Niang lent the soft armor that her master gave her to that woman. As a result, we left in a hurry, and Si Niang also
I didn’t have time to ask for it back, and Si Niang didn’t say anything, but my flesh hurts so much, I wonder if there is still a chance for her to ask for it back!”
Thinking of this, she looked at Mu Siniang's group of people who were following them not far behind: "Siniang is also stubborn. You asked him to protect that woman, and she heard it in her heart. It's not enough to stay by her side."
After all, you gave your personal soft armor to someone else. Even when he used to protect you personally, you didn’t get this treatment!"
"Ha!" Qian Wubing laughed: "Can I wear girls' clothes?"
"It's because you can't wear it, otherwise Si Niang would have taken it off for you long ago!" Zhu Yunniang didn't know what she thought of, and the look on her face suddenly became ambiguous.
"Why are you smiling so weirdly! Hey, hey!" Qian Wubing couldn't bear her smile: "Six Niang is loyal to me, don't think wrongly, you are just bullying someone else into being honest, aren't you?"
"Oh, loyal, that Olivia is also loyal to you, right?" Zhu Yunniang wrinkled her nose slightly and snorted: "I have heard a lot of strange rumors, don't look at me like that, I'm with you
I am so familiar with Grisha, and I can understand a little bit of their words, but those guys thought I didn’t understand, so they spoke unscrupulously!”
"This is not the case at all!" Qian Wubing denied it, but he was angry in his heart. This must be the foreign captains from the overseas Qianhu Institute talking about it, but Zhu Yunniang accidentally heard it, but
, Zhu Yunniang is really amazing. Grisha’s mother tongue is so eloquent that Zhu Yunniang actually learned a lot from it.
"Stop talking about this, tell me, do you really understand what Grisha and the others are saying?"
The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. Qian Wubing changed the topic clumsily: "I didn't expect my little Yun Niang to be so capable. From now on, I don't have to worry about those irresponsible interpreters. We won't
Tell them, just listen quietly, if they say something they shouldn't say, hey, we'll deal with them later!"
"I can't do it. I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and I can't protect you personally. I can't even guard a share of the family business for you like sister Wanjing!" Zhu Yunniang felt aggrieved, "Maybe, you have always felt that in your heart
I'm useless, even Sister Yanran and Sister Sun Qian from Beijing probably think so, I'm just a spoiled girl who causes trouble everywhere, and I can't help you at all when it comes to doing serious business!"
"Who said that? I've never thought about it that way!" Qian Wubing shook his head repeatedly: "Didn't you run the fleet very well when I was away?"
"But now that you are in the fleet and you have done everything, what else can I do?"
"Otherwise, didn't you say that you want to be like your sister Wanjing? Otherwise, when we return, we will stay here in Luzon. By that time, the epidemic should be almost over. I will follow Fusang's instructions.
I want to build a hundred-household residence here to connect the route with Tamsui. My little Yun Niang will be in charge of Luzon for his husband. Well, if that girl from the Xu family doesn't listen to Yun Niang
If so, my husband will lead the troops and teach her a lesson!"
"But I don't want to leave you!" When Zhu Yunniang heard this, she was happy at first, and then became confused, "If I establish myself in Luzon, wouldn't I have to separate from you?"
"You can ask people from your palace to come and look after it for you!" Qian Wubing smiled, "Don't forget, this fleet also has members of your palace, and it is also our own property. I heard that this fleet
Luzon is a treasure trove of gold and silver, and there are many good things there!”
"That's right!" Zhu Yunniang's eyes lit up: "I'll ask my father to come here. Staying in Luzon will be more comfortable than him staying in the Ming Dynasty. By then, we have earned money, and my elder brother will have more money to spend.
Well, I’ll bring my mother here too, she’s always wanted to come overseas and have a look!”
"Look, isn't this good?" Qian Wubing smiled slightly and said, "The old prince and princess came to Luzon. If this girl from the Xu family didn't know the truth, huh, you really think your sister Feng'er is fake.
The Governor of Luzon, who had not returned to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for decades, really thought that he was the same thing. I was annoyed and moved tens of thousands of people directly from Fusang Dongfan. I think this place is
Should the local government listen to our Ming Dynasty, or should we listen to her as the governor?"
"I hope she can control this epidemic as soon as possible!" Zhu Yunniang nodded slightly and blessed her sincerely. However, whether this blessing is for Xu Qianqian's more ingredients or for her own ingredients, then
I don’t know.
After resting, the fleet continued to move forward. At this time, not only Zhu Yunniang, but also everyone in the fleet became cheerful. When the distant land appeared in front of them, everyone cheered.
They were not cheering because they saw land. In the past few days, they had seen a lot of land, but they were all large and small islands. Some were uninhabited, and some were inhabited by locals in twos and threes. By boat
Judging from the size of the team, if supplies were not needed, such an island would obviously not be a worthy stop.
After sending several people ashore to contact the local natives, Qian Wubing gave up the idea. When the natives saw the huge fleet coming from the sea, they really fled. If they really couldn't escape, then they left.
He put on a desperate resistance posture. Qian Wubing was here to do business, not to fight with them. It would be better not to have such contact!
But now it is different from those palm-sized islands. The endless horizon is enough to prove that even if this is not a continent, it is still a huge island. In fact, this is really an island. At least, Qian Wubing knows that this corner is not a corner.
But there is no continent.
Before they arrived, the people on the fleet knew where they were. In addition to the explanations from the interpreters from Champa, the huge Buddha statue more than ten feet high carved on the cliff was also a living sign. The Three Treasures Eunuch
During the voyage to the West, there were detailed records of the landforms, features and products of the places they passed. However, there is only one place where there is a huge Buddha statue on the cliff near the sea, which is clearly recorded, and that is the royal city of Boni Kingdom.
This is where the East meets the West.
"Boni Country, sir, we have arrived at Boni Country!" Tang Yin was also a little excited. Standing next to Qian Wubing, looking at the Buddha statue in the distance, it gradually became clear: "It is exactly the same as what the Three Treasures Eunuch said.
There is a big Buddha near the sea, more than ten feet high, with a clear brow and eyes. The people there worship the Buddha statue with great dignity."
"Let the fleet stop slowly, don't rush over and scare them!" Qian Wubing was also in a happy mood: "Send a speedboat ashore to explain our purpose. These Spaniards have caused a lot of harm in this generation, don't be taken for granted.
Did them!"
"That's right!" Tang Yin watched Wang Yu hurriedly deliver the order and said with a smile: "As for this Boni country, even Emperor Wen attaches great importance to it. Their king was canonized by Emperor Wen himself. Classics record that back then,
Their king went to our capital in person, and Emperor Wen personally gave him a seal and a decree. Later, the Boni king passed away in our Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Wen personally ordered that he be buried with royal rites. After that, this Boni and
In the Ming Dynasty, I have been in constant contact, and it is only in the past few decades that I have moved less!"
Tang Yin was here, telling Qian Wubing the allusions about the Boni Kingdom. The clippers sent by the fleet had already sailed towards the port that had been in chaos for a long time. Qian Wubing said not to scare them, but,
Anyone who sees such a huge fleet appearing menacingly at their doorstep will be frightened, not to mention that the Spaniards have been harassing them in recent years.
This is still a fleet of large and small ships, which are very different from the Spanish hardwood sailing ships. They did not take the initiative to open fire. Otherwise, even the fleet's clippers may not be able to get close to the port. Compared with Champa,
Compared to Chenla's Liao Port, and even compared to Luzon, the Boni Kingdom is considered to be a powerful country. The warships at the port and the defense on the shore are definitely not on the same level as them.
Soon, the clipper came into contact with several oncoming warships from the Boni Kingdom, then turned around and led several warships towards the fleet, as if they were from the Boni Kingdom, but not
I believe what they say and must come over to check it out for myself.
Qian Wubing stood on the side of the ship, looked at the shabby-looking warships, and smiled slightly. These clay men not only had rules and regulations in doing things, but also had courage. In just a moment, they dared to make decisions about themselves.
Coming to the middle of the fleet, perhaps, these people are really very different from the Champa and Luzon people he saw.
