1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 37 Sulu ([-])

"Everyone, although three princes are in power in this Sulu Kingdom, there have been no disputes or strife in the court, and the political situation is very stable." Seeing the expressions of everyone, Zhou Yingping quickly explained, "Their sultan has always been the king of the kingdom. ..."

"Spiritual leader." Qi Tian said, with a virtual monarchy, the few princes are like the prime ministers of the later monarchy.

"Well, little master, oh no, little brother, the description is really appropriate!" Zhou Yingping said with a smile: "Su Lu Kingdom was in the Yongle period, and the three princes came to my Ming Dynasty for the first time to make a pilgrimage. They confirmed their family and protected my Ming Nanyang. On the way back to the country, the Eastern King died in Dezhou, Shandong, and was buried by the court with the ceremonies of the King of Fan. Since then, the Sulu Kingdom has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty and made regular pilgrimages. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty also enjoy various privileges and preferential treatment in the Sulu Kingdom. Not to mention, it's me, the Great Ming Navy Master!" As he spoke, he smiled at everyone present.

Cao Xiong and the others also grinned, unexpectedly, our Daming is so powerful in this small country in Nanyang.

"Heroes, tomorrow, the princes of Sulu Kingdom will definitely summon you. I heard that their Eastern King, Western King and Dongwang suddenly led troops here from Sulu City. However, the villain will remind you all." Zhou Yingping waited for everyone to finish laughing, and suddenly said seriously, "In recent years, the Sulu Kingdom has been in constant conflict with the Folangji people who occupy Luzon, and they have suffered a lot. On a large island in the southwest, there was a dispute with the Boni Kingdom , and lost a lot of land. At that time, I am afraid that the princes of Sulu Kingdom will ask you to help or help....Everyone, you must not agree!"

"How can we meddle in these nosy affairs!" Hu Wenjin said: "This is a battle between countries, how can we intervene!"

"Everyone..." Zhou Yingping looked at the crowd with a half-smile, "You all call yourself the Great Navy Master!"

"Uh..." Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then all shook their heads and smiled wryly.The Fan Kingdom has been bullied by others, so your suzerain country must not stand up for it!But with these few ships and this few people, how dare we get involved in it?

"Giving a helping hand, or giving help. We must first go back to Daming and report to the imperial court!" Qi Tian said with a smile.

"..." Everyone heard it, yes, we are the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and we have to consult the imperial court and get instructions before we can do it.

"Xiaotian, you are right....Tomorrow, I will use this to deal with the prince of Sulu Kingdom." Cao Xiong stroked his beard in satisfaction.

Zhou Yingping couldn't help but look at this bald boy a few more times. Originally, he planned to say what he said when everyone was worried, so as to increase everyone's attention to him.Unexpectedly, it was blurted out by the boy.

"That... shopkeeper Zhou, let's condescend to rest here tonight!" Cao Xiong said in a deep voice, looking closely at Zhou Yingping.

"That villain will be bothering you!" Zhou Yingping said helplessly, cupping his hands.This is to prevent him from leaking the identity of Cao Xiong and others when he ran out!

"Uncle, I suggest, tie up the shopkeeper Zhou and let him serve us in the future!" Qi Tian said to Cao Xiong immediately after Zhou Yingping and Niu Hu left the hall.

"Ah?" Cao Xiong stood up, and was about to tell everyone to go to rest, when he was surprised by Qi Tian's suggestion.

"Why did you tie him up?" Cao Xiong asked with a smile. He used to be a school kid, but now he wants to tie someone up.But if you tied someone up, we are at sea, how can they send you a ransom?
"Tie him to our side, oh, no..." Qi Tian adjusted his words, "I mean, find a way to bring him to our side."

"Xiaotian, you mean, you want to recruit him into the gang?" Hu Wenjin said with a smile.

"Yes, we want to recruit him into the gang!" Qi Tian said firmly, "We will establish a foundation on the southern continent in the future, and we will lack a lot. At that time, we will definitely need to buy supplies from Nanyang. The shopkeeper Zhou said that he He knows Nanyang very well, and he can also reach Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, everything we lack in the future can be entrusted to him to purchase.”

"Only relying on him? How important is a sea merchant to us?" Cao Xiong said, "We can also go and buy what we lack!"

"Uncle, our profession... oh, no, what are we best at? Killing people, fighting for sea routes, and protecting the people in our territory in the future. Doing business, communicating, or not, should be left to professionals Do."

"Then...he won't cheat us, will he?"

"...We have a knife handle!"

"Oh, yes. If you dare to trick us, chop him up!"

"That's okay, the supply is over in Sulu country, so get him into the gang."

"Xiaotian, you are very thoughtful. You are preparing for our future establishment. Well, from now on, Xiaotian will be our military advisor! Haha..., our infant military advisor!"

"Yes, yes, reading some books is better than us rough guys! In the future, give us more ideas, maybe, I will also be Zhu Chongba once!"

"Haha..., then I will be Chang Yuchun, who founded the country!"

"Uncle Wu, Chang Yuchun died before he was 40 years old." Qi Tian whispered.

"Uh... then I'll be General Sapphire Lan!"

"Lan Yu was chopped alive by Emperor Hongwu."

"Ha ha……"

"Then I... I will be Fu Youde!"

"Fu Youde was also beheaded by the emperor."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Hu Wenjin looked at Qi Tian sadly and angrily, wanting to hit his bare head hard a few times.You son of a bitch, show off that you have read books!

Qi Tian blinked, I was just telling the truth according to the history books.

"Okay, okay!" Cao Xiong laughed with the crowd for a while, waved his hands and said, "Hurry up and go to rest. Tomorrow, I have to go to see those Fanbangtu kings, so I can't be called Daming Navy Master." head!"

"That can't be done! We used to be the Daming Navy, and the imperial court managed officers and soldiers."

"Also, I have to send someone to the boat tomorrow to inform Lao Yu that our people and those brought by Luzon should not disembark for the time being, so as not to be seen through by the people of Sulu Kingdom. After we meet their king, we will ask to clean up the pier Open space, at that time, let the people on the boat come down to get some air...Moreover, that shopkeeper Zhou has to watch closely." Cao Xiong ordered again.

The night was silent, less than two hours before dawn.Qi Tian hadn't fallen asleep yet, he was shaking and shaking on the boat, but fell asleep instead.Now that he has set foot on solid land, he can't sleep again, just like in that small town in Luzon.

What the hell is poor and rich, and can't sleep on a solid bed.Qi Tian thought to himself mockingly, and kept turning over on the bed.

"Fourth, don't think too much. Get some sleep." Qi Dajiang, who was sleeping on the other side, said softly.

"Second Brother, I'm making a noise with you." Qi Tian stopped tumbling.

"Fourth, if you continue to study during the Taiping period, maybe you can really become a high-ranking official." Qi Dajiang said.

"Huh?" Qi Tian was puzzled, "Why?"

"I've seen other scholars, they are either pedantic, or do not know the facts, let alone overseas geography. You seem to know everything."

"Hehe, of course, I'm afraid I know more than all the scholars in this world, um, except for those collections of classics and history." Qi Tian boasted proudly.In terms of knowledge, we are much more extensive than our ancestors 300 years ago.

"Hehe..." Qi Dajiang laughed, left his hometown, fled to the sea in defeat, devoted himself to pirates, and ran around on the ocean. He still worried that this lonely and arrogant fourth brother would remain silent and decadent.Coupled with the uncertainty about the life and death of his eldest brother, all this made him tense up.Now it seems that the fourth brother has gradually integrated into the situation in front of him, and there is always a stroke of genius.

"Fourth brother is so knowledgeable, you will come to be the prime minister and a cabinet scholar in the future!"

"Okay!" Qi Tian smiled, "Second brother, do you believe it, in the future, I will let you, third brother, and everyone else live a better life than before."

"I believe it. You will be a cabinet scholar in the future!"

The next day, until the sun was high, Qi Tian was woken up by the second brother in a daze, and got up to eat.

"Good morning, shopkeeper Zhou!" After washing his face and going out, he met Zhou Yingping coming out of the room with two dark circles under his eyes, but his clothes and hair were meticulously arranged.

"..." Zhou Yingping didn't know how to respond to Qi Tian's good morning greeting. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already noon, so he could only reply vaguely: "The weather is really nice!"

"It's happened! It's happened!" Suddenly Niu Hu ran over from the gate of the building, "Get ready to do your best!... Those natives surrounded us!"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yingping in amazement, while Qi Dajiang drew out his long knife and forced him over.
