People from the Song Dynasty invited Liu Ziguang to visit New Bianjing not to invite him for tourism, but to discuss important military matters. The letter mentioned that they would build a joint navy with the Ming Dynasty to control the waters of the South China Sea, escort and collect taxes, etc.
In addition, high-power radio stations must be built in New Bianjing, Anping City, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai and other places to ensure the smooth transmission of government orders and command. This is a huge matter, and Liu Ziguang dare not do it without authorization
I took the initiative and sent a telegram back to Beijing to report. After waiting for two or three days, the reply finally came.
The imperial court first expressed its appreciation for the victory in the Taiwan War, approved all the provisions of Liu Ziguang's letter one by one, and also attached great importance to the proposals of the people who were traveling in the Song Dynasty. They agreed that Liu Ziguang would visit the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Ming Dynasty to discuss major issues. For this visit
, Zhu Youxiao also specially promoted Liu Ziguang to a knighthood. In addition, he also gave Liu Ziguang the credit for his last tour of Jiangnan, filling the national treasury, and the recovery of Taiwan this time. Now Liu Ziguang's full title is: Qi Jinshi, born in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, right
The Commander-in-Chief of Wu Yingdian, a Grand Scholar, and the Superintendent of the four southeastern provinces temporarily acted as the governor of Taiwan. He was still the Admiral in charge of the inner factory, led the imperial guard, and walked the Forbidden Road. He was a hereditary first-class marquis. This was equivalent to giving him the title of Grand Bachelor on the original basis, and the title of Zhenwu Bo.
The title was promoted to Marquis of Zhenwu. The telegram arrived first, and the imperial edict was still on the sea route, but now he can let his subordinates call himself Marquis.
The rewards for other generals were also announced at the same time. The most favored one was Zheng Sen, who killed his father. The court not only approved Liu Ziguang's request to make Zheng Sen the commander-in-chief of Taiwan, but also granted him a Jinshi background and the title of Zhongxiaobo.
Zhu Youxiao also gave Zheng Sen the title of Success in order to wish him continuous success in future battles. When Zheng Sen saw the telegram handed to him by Liu Ziguang, he was so excited that he was speechless. The guilt of accidentally killing his father has always been
Devouring his heart, the court's recognition of him could alleviate the pain somewhat. After all, in Confucianism, the status of the king is higher than that of a relative.
Shi Lang, Yang Nanzhen, Wen Getao, and the navy generals all received rewards, and even officials from Fujian Province followed Zhanguang. The envoys in Song Dynasty learned that Liu Ziguang had received the reply from the court, and hurriedly went to the government to inquire.
Liu Ziguang promised them to set off in three days.
The visiting fleet consists of a luxuriously decorated passenger ship, ten escort warships and five supply ships. The sea route from Anping to Xinbianjing is about two thousand miles. If the wind and water are smooth, it will not be slow if you travel day and night. You can reach the destination in seven days.
, this trip is much easier than the journey from Shanghai to Taiwan. The passenger ship is equipped with twenty beauties recruited from Taiwan as maids. These hot Taiwanese girls are not willing to be little maids.
She sways her soft waist to seduce Liu Dashuai every day, but Liu Maomao is keenly aware of any maids who have such thoughts. She drives them away with her sharp nails and does not allow any woman to get close to Liu Ziguang, as if Liu Ziguang is
His private property is average.
Those maids complained and complained, but Liu Ziguang didn't think there was anything wrong. It was instinct for kittens to protect their food, and he was not very interested in those Taiwanese girls. Just one Liu kitten could drain him dry.
, the farther south the fleet went, the hotter the climate. A large swimming pool was built on the deck of the passenger ship, filled with sea water. During the day, Liu Ziguang played with the kitten in it, and then they took a fresh water bath together to hide.
Go to the bamboo lounge chair under the parasol and wear sunglasses to enjoy the sea breeze, or read a few story books describing your achievements. There are various tropical fruits on the silver plate and you can take them as you like. Liu Mao Mao is lying on the bed wearing a transparent thin sand.
Playing with the parrot on the teak deck, looking at her raised little butt, Liu Ziguang would throw away the book, rush forward and fight with the kitten for 300 rounds. At night, Liu Ziguang would lie on the soft water bed with his arms around the kitten and look up at the stars.
, Liu Maomao is the most well-behaved at this time, looking at the vast starry sky without saying a word for a long time, as if it is her long-lost hometown.
The fleet is traveling on the vast sea, and the sea water and the blue sky are connected, making people feel that the whole world is so pure, and war, power, and money are all left behind. This journey is the most relaxing and relaxing for Liu Ziguang since he came to this world.
After a few happy days, sometimes he even thought how great it would be if he could spend it like this every day. But the romantic and beautiful tropical trip had to end, because the trip to Song Dynasty was about to arrive.
On this day, Liu Ziguang and Liu Maomao were standing on the bow of the boat loading Jack and Rose. Suddenly Liu Maomao, with sharp eyes, pointed with his little hand: "Flying fish!"
It’s flying fish. The flying fish appear and disappear on the sea surface, breaking through the waves. It’s really spectacular. Liu Ziguang has never seen this kind of strange tropical fish. Watching them swarm in the blue sky, disturbed by the sound of the fleet’s motors.
Soaring in the sky, I also find it very interesting. Fish can fly and birds can dive. Nature is really magical. In the distance of the flying fish, three light gray dots appear. The distance gets closer at any time. It turns out that they are from the Song Dynasty coming to greet them.
The fleet of the Ming Dynasty envoys traveling to Song Dynasty is already close at hand.
The Kingdom of Lusong is an archipelago country located in southeastern Asia. It faces Taiwan in the Ming Dynasty across the Bashi Strait to the north, Indonesia is occupied by the Spanish to the south, the South China Sea is to the west, and the Pacific Ocean is to the east. There are more than 7,000 islands in total, including Lusong.
Eleven major islands including Song Island, Mindanao, and Samar account for more than 90% of the country's total area. The country has many volcanoes and excellent ports. It has a monsoon tropical rainforest climate with high temperatures and rain, high humidity, and an average temperature of nearly 30 degrees.
Like summer, the island is densely forested and rich in minerals. There are mines for iron, chromium, manganese, gold and copper, fire oil, coconuts, sugar cane, abaca, tobacco, bananas, pineapples, mangos, rice, corn, etc. all year round.
With the ripeness and warm climate, people don’t have to worry about food and clothing. Even the laziest lazy man will not starve to death as long as he has the strength to go out and pick a few bananas.
At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie and others kept the young emperor and escaped overseas. They first arrived in Taiwan. For fear of being too close to the mainland, they continued south to reach this fertile archipelago and surrendered the local indigenous tribes and horses.
Some separatist kingdoms composed of immigrants from other ethnic groups established the overseas exile court of the Song Dynasty.
When Liu Ziguang entered the port, he specially transferred to a fully armed warship. Under the escort of the brigade and Song Navy, he slowly sailed into Bianjing Bay and approached the dock. Other escorting warships and passenger ships were temporarily anchored outside the harbor.
The iron-hulled steamboat painted light gray guided the ship to a safe stop on the pier. Liu Ziguang looked over and saw that a large number of people had gathered on the shore. There were also gongs and drums teams, honor guards, and red carpets in the open space.
The standard of welcome for people visiting the Song Dynasty is not low.
Although the weather was hot, Liu Ziguang still dressed up as he had planned. Inside was a special golden mountain-patterned armor, with a red sitting python robe slanted on the outside, which just covered half of his breastplate, and on his head were two dragons playing with pearls and a lion.
He wears an eight-treasure purple gold helmet with his head turned around, a jade belt around his waist, and three feet of green blade under his ribs. In order to maintain the style of a Confucian general, he specially wears a sword instead of a sword. The whole look imitates the appearance of Yue Fei in the Yuewang Temple that was seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
.
The guards were also dressed up. Everyone was in uniform and fully armed. Although they were sweating, they still straightened their backs. This was the marshal's first visit abroad, and he must not lose face.
After the ship docked and the gangway was lowered, Liu Ziguang was the first to step out of the cabin. He pressed his sword with one hand and lifted his shirt with the other. He walked down the ladder at a snail's pace. A loud-voiced master of ceremonies on the pier shouted loudly: "Welcome to you."
In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty awarded Jinshi, who was born as the right governor of the Fifth Military Governor's Palace, Wu Yingdian, a university scholar, governor, temporary governor of the four southeastern provinces, still admiral of the inner factory, leading the imperial guards, walking the Forbidden Road, hereditary first-class marquis Liu!" His voice was loud and lingering.
Officials from the Song Dynasty, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward to greet him. The two countries had no subordinate relationship, so there was no need to bow down. The officials wore various colored robes, and the wings of their black gauze hats were long and similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.
It is slightly different. There are no patches on the official uniforms, but different colors and different fish bags around the waist are used to indicate the level of the official rank.
Among the officials who came to greet Liu Ziguang, the largest one was the current Grand Marshal of the Navy in Song Dynasty. After this Marshal named Zhang and Liu Ziguang clasped fists and saluted each other, they led him to review the guard of honor.
There were two neat square formations, one wearing white and the other wearing black. They all wore Fanyang red cherry felt hats with the style of the Song Dynasty on their heads. They were all holding small flower guns and Yanyue swords in their hands.
, after Liu Ziguang, accompanied by Marshal Zhang, boarded a wooden reviewing stand, the sound of music rang, and the soldiers of the honor guard began to perform martial arts to the exciting music. The steps and techniques of the five hundred people were exactly the same, and the gleaming swords and guns danced very
It was spectacular. The soldiers danced their swords and guns while loudly singing the military song "Man Jiang Hong" along with the music. This is also one of the testimonies that the Song and Ming Dynasties share the same language and culture. Everyone's military songs are based on Yue Fei's popular song that has been passed down through the ages.
word.
However, the military song sung by the honor guard who had not experienced the test of war was weak and lacked momentum. Liu Ziguang winked at the guards on the gangway, and then a more passionate song sounded, also full of river red, but with the sound of dozens of people singing.
The honor guard of 500 people was completely suppressed.
