Chapter 63 Death without Telling (2)
Li Jinglong looked at the shore from the warship watchtower, and his heart was in his throat.
After all, no one has come to this place before. These natives seem to be despised, but many ants bite the elephant to death, so they should not be underestimated when fighting.
So he urged on the watchtower, "Let the boat down, brothers are ready to board the boat and land!"
"Once it starts to be fired, no matter whether the artillery is enough or not, I will directly bombard the shore!"
"No, don't be afraid of being stranded. He just approached me and attacked him!"
"Tell me, if you really fight, a man has three silver dollars in his head. When he gets ashore, he will rob them. The money will be all the women!"
Li Laowai stood beside Li Jinglong, looking nervously at the boat on the docking. The leader there was his son.
Hearing this, he pretended to be calm and had the heart to joke with Li Jinglong, "The head of the family, are those women? Who wants it? It's so dark!"
"Damn, who was yelling when he was on the boat? The old sows had double eyelids? I started to pick on each other in this skill!" After being interrupted, Li Jinglong's nervousness faded a little.
However, when he saw the Ming army's boat docking, the soldiers on it carefully lined up in an attacking formation, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken 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 boat, don't act rashly!"
Li Qi was shocked, "Dad, there is no need to do this, you are the head coach..."
"The Ming Dynasty always took the lead in charge. No one on the battlefield recognizes you as Duke of Bird, Marquis. Brothers recognize the coach, and their backbone!" As he said that, Li Jinglong climbed down the watchtower, stood on the side of the ship and took off the python robe, revealing the soft armor inside.
Suddenly, Li Qi let out a shout.
"Dad, look!"
Li Jinglong looked up shore and saw that the tension had just turned into peace in his sight.
Xie Jinzhong talked and laughed with a man who looked like a foreign chief, and some natives even brought fresh fruits and clear water to the Ming army.
Immediately, a flag that the Ming army could land was raised on the shore.
"Damn it, why don't you fight?" On the landing boat that Ming Jun put down, a man who looked like the same person cursed, "Damn we are not their relatives, why are we still being entertained? Why don't they wave their blades!"
"Shut up!" Li Jinglong shouted loudly.
He knew very well about the thoughts of these grassroots officers, just for the sake of two words, military merit.
Now the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, and anyone can win. When these Qiu Ba people see the enemy, they seem to see a bunch of heads who can get promoted and make money.
Li Jinglong looked at his generals majesticly and shouted, "That...ah!! That... The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and the country of the Celestial Empire naturally has the style of the Celestial Empire. After getting ashore, I will take good care of my subordinates, don't kill or rob them. What's the poor natives have become? They don't even have a few pieces of clothes, so I guess there is nothing good!"
"That...ah! A woman from the natives, don't let anyone go to the woods when they don't pay attention! We are a mighty army, representing the face of the Ming Dynasty. Let me tell you, I will control you. Otherwise, I will deal with it regardless of you, no matter who you are, I will deal with it with military law!"
The generals bowed reluctantly, and their hearts were still complaining.
"I don't know who said just now. After getting ashore, I will rob and cause disaster. Now, in a blink of an eye, his grandmother's army of righteousness has become a master of righteousness!"
At this time, a small boat quickly rowed over and shouted loudly.
"Reported to Duke Cao, the foreigners heard that we were a mission of the Ming Dynasty, so happy. An official from the natives asked us to go ashore to rest, and said that we would notify them to come to see you in person!"
"I understand!" Li Jinglong nodded majesticly and said to the generals, "Remember what I said just now, don't make trouble!"
"Head of the family, are we hiding our hands? We must be careful of others!" Li Laowai said with a close approach.
"This is natural!" Li Jinglong looked at the shore again and whispered, "Take the cannons ashore, and then grab the high ground to arrange the fort!"
"Here!" Foreigner Li agreed and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
"All Army!" Li Jinglong put on the imperial python robe and swung his cloak, "Login with me!"

Li Jinglong and his guards landed on the shore, and Xie Jinzhong walked towards a thin black man wearing a bright color and armor with several iron pieces.
The man was not tall, had dark skin, but his eyes were extremely bright. Especially when he looked at Li Jinglong, he was full of admiration and closeness, and even a faint closeness.
Li Jinglong knew in his heart that the native chief in front of him must be the leader here.
"This leader is so shiver. What are you wearing?"
Li Jinglong felt in his heart that the person in front of him was not as good as the ones from the southwest toasts.
But his face was filled with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. He strode forward and bowed first, "In the lower Ming Dynasty, Duke Cao of the State Council, the Grand Commander of the Front Army of the Five Army Governors' Office, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, the Commander of the Palace Front Army. Guanglu Dafu, the Zuozhu Kingdom, the General of the Dragon and Tiger of the State, the Prince Shaobao, and the Tongzhi Military and National Affairs."
"Therefore, the eldest princess of the Longxi princess, and the son of the Qiyang prince of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jinglong!"
He came up with a long string of official titles, regardless of whether he could understand it or not.
However, it seemed that the more he said, the happier the other party was. He also gave in a clumsy hand and smiled warmly.
Xie Jinzhong hurriedly translated the record. The more he heard the other party's eyes became brighter. He immediately grabbed Li Jinglong's hands and kept saying something.
"This is the nephew of Suleiman, the King of Manila, General Ge Mading!" Xie Jinzhong said, "I heard that you are an envoy of the Ming Dynasty. He has ordered people to report to the King of Manila..."
"Wait a minute! Isn't it Luzon? Why did Manila come?" Li Jinglong said strangely.
"The Duke of the Kingdom doesn't know anything!" Xie Jinzhong smiled, "Luzon is a general term, not a unified country of the Ming Dynasty. There are many vassal kings around. The lord of this bay is the King of Manila, and there is also a King Sulu in the east!"
Li Jinglong became more and more surprised, "Who will listen to?"
As he said that, he suddenly felt very happy.
"Since it is divided into several small countries, wouldn't it be better to profit from it?"
Therefore, his attitude towards Ge Mading was even more enthusiastic and he laughed, "I am here to go to Luzon on the order of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Your Excellency is here to be kind and feel ashamed!"
As he said that, he took off the precious sword inlaid with warm jade on his waist and handed it over, "I don't respect the gift, please accept it with a smile!"
As Duke Cao, the sword around him was a sword of many tempering. It was not only extremely sharp but also exquisitely decorated and worth a thousand gold.
Ge Mading took the treasure knife and couldn't let it go.
"Mr. Master, there is the royal city ahead, let's go into the city!" Xie Jinzhong said.
Li Jinglong smiled and nodded, inadvertently looking at the back.
