Li Jinglong was on the battleship watchtower, looking at the shore in the distance, his heart was in his throat.
After all, no one has been to this place before. These natives may seem to be looked down upon, but there are so many ants that they can kill an elephant, so they should not be underestimated in a real fight.
So I repeatedly urged on the watchtower, "Put down the boats, brothers, get ready to board the boats and land!"
"Once the fighting starts, no matter whether the artillery can reach it or not, I will just blast it directly towards the shore!"
"No, don't be afraid of being stranded. I'll just get close to you and attack my mother!"
"Tell my brothers, if there is a real fight, if a Ban man has three silver dollars in his head, he will go ashore and let them rob him, and all the women with money will belong to them!"
Li Laowai stood next to Li Jinglong, nervously looking at the boat docking. The leader over there was his son.
Hearing this, he pretended to be calm and was still thinking about joking with Li Jinglong, "Master, are there just those foreign women? Who wants them? Hei Bu Liu Qiu!"
"Damn it, who yelled when we were on the boat that all sows have double eyelids? Now I and I started to pick and choose!" Being interrupted like this, Li Jinglong's nervousness also faded a bit.
But then I saw the Ming army's boat docking, with the sergeants on it carefully forming an attack formation, and I couldn't help but feel worried again.
"Son!" Li Jinglong shouted.
"Dad!" Li Qi said, "What's the matter?"
"I will lead the team to land in person!" Li Jinglong pursed his lips tightly, "You are on the ship, don't act rashly!"
Li Qi was shocked, "Dad, there's no need to be like this, you are the coach..."
"In the Ming Dynasty, the commander has always led the charge. No one on the battlefield recognizes you as the Duke of Birds, Lord Marquis. The brothers recognize the commander as their backbone!" With that said, Li Jinglong climbed down from the watchtower and stood on the side of the ship.
He took off his python robe, revealing the soft armor underneath.
Suddenly, Li Qi let out a shout.
"Dad, look!"
Li Jinglong looked towards the shore and saw that the tense situation just before his sight suddenly turned into a peaceful one.
Xie Jinzhong took a man who looked like a Ban tribe chief and talked and laughed. There was even a native man who brought fresh fruits and water to the hands of the Ming army.
Immediately, a flag was raised on the shore that the Ming army could land.
"Damn it, why didn't we fight?" A man with a general appearance yelled on the landing ship that the Ming army put down, "Damn it, we are not their relatives, so why did we entertain them? Why didn't they wave their blades!
"
"Shut up!" Li Jinglong yelled.
He knew very well what these junior officers were thinking, just for one word, military merit.
Nowadays, the military power of the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, and anyone who fights can win. When these Qiu soldiers see their enemies, they seem to see a bunch of heads that can be used for promotion and wealth.
Li Jinglong took a majestic look at his generals and said loudly, "That...ah!! That...the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and the country in the Celestial Dynasty must have the style of the Celestial Dynasty. After landing,
, please take care of your men, don’t kill or rob. These natives are so poor, they don’t have many clothes, so they must not have any good things!”
"Um...ah! Those girls from the natives, don't drag them into the woods without anyone noticing! We are mighty warriors and represent the face of the Ming Dynasty. Let me tell you,
Let me control them all. Otherwise, I don’t care who you are, and you will be dealt with by military law!"
All the generals reluctantly bowed their heads, still cursing in their hearts.
"I don't know who said it just now. After landing, he would rob and cause harm. Now in the blink of an eye, his grandma has become a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"
At this time, a small boat rowed over quickly and shouted loudly.
"Reporting to Duke Cao, the Fan people were very happy when they heard that we were the Ming Dynasty's envoys. An official from the native people asked us to go ashore to rest, and he also said that he would inform their king to come to see you in person!"
"I got it!" Li Jinglong nodded majestically and said to the generals, "Remember what I just said, don't make trouble!"
"Master, should we hide something? We must be on guard against others!" Li Laowai approached and said.
"This is natural!" Li Jinglong looked at the shore again and whispered, "Take the cannon ashore, and then seize the high ground to set up the fort!"
"Here!" Foreigner Li agreed and quickly went to arrange it.
"Army!" Li Jinglong put on the royal python robe, flicked his cloak, "Follow me to land!"
~~~~
Li Jinglong led his guards ashore, and Xie Jinzhong was greeted by a thin, dark man wearing brightly colored clothes and a few pieces of iron on his armor.
The man was short in stature and had dark skin, but his eyes were extremely bright. Especially when he looked at Li Jinglong, he was full of admiration and closeness, even with a hint of closeness.
Li Jinglong understood clearly that the native chief in front of him must be the leader here.
"This leader is also shivering. What are you wearing?"
Li Jinglong secretly cursed that the dress of the man in front of him was not even as good as those of the southwestern toasts.
But with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze on his face, he strode forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am Cao Guogong of the Ming Dynasty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Front Army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, and the Commander of the Front Army. Guanglu
Doctor, Zuozhuguo, General Longhu who controls the country, and Prince Shaobao, who also know the military and state affairs."
"So the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, the grandson of the king of Longxi County, and the son of King Qiyang of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jinglong is also!"
When he came up, he just listed a long list of official titles, regardless of whether people could understand them or not.
But it seemed that the more he spoke, the happier the other party became, imitating his gestures and clumsily cupping his hands, smiling warmly.
Xie Jinzhong was busy recording Gulu's translation. The more the other party listened, the brighter his eyes became. He immediately grabbed Li Jinglong's hands and kept talking.
"This is General Gemading, the nephew of King Suleiman of Manila!" Xie Jinzhong said, "I heard that you are an envoy of the Ming Dynasty. He has ordered someone to report to King Manila..."
"Wait a minute! Isn't it Luzon? Why are you here in Manila?" Li Jinglong asked curiously.
"The Duke doesn't know!" Xie Jinzhong said with a smile, "Luzon is a general term, not our unified country of tomorrow. There are many vassal kings around. The owner of this bay is the King of Manila, and there is also the King of Sulu in the east!
"
Li Jinglong became more and more strange, "Whose advice should you listen to?"
As he said this, his heart suddenly became overjoyed.
"Since it is divided into several small countries, wouldn't it be better to make profits?"
Therefore, his attitude towards Gemading was even more warm at the moment, and he laughed and said, "I am sent as an envoy to Luzon by order of the Ming Emperor. You are so kind to come here, I am ashamed!"
As he said that, he casually took off the shark skin inlaid jade sword from his waist and handed it over, "A mere gift is not a sign of respect, so please accept it with a smile!"
As Cao Guogong, the sword beside him is a sword that has been tempered many times. It is not only extremely sharp, but also beautifully decorated and worth thousands of gold.
Gemartin took the sword and couldn't put it down immediately.
"My lord, the royal city is ahead, let's go into the city!" Xie Jinzhong said.
Li Jinglong smiled and nodded, looking behind him inadvertently.
His bodyguards quietly protected him and Gemading, and surrounded them as they walked toward the royal city.
