1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 38 Sulu ([-])

Seeing Niu Hu rushing in, Zhou Yingping was also taken aback when he said that soldiers from Sulu Kingdom had surrounded the building.Immediately, Qi Dajiang pointed a long knife at him.

"This...that's impossible!" Zhou Yingping took two steps back in a panic, "You are the Great Ming Navy, how dare the Sulu Kingdom bring troops to surround you? It must be...something went wrong! Last night, I was in the museum all the time. Sheli, you haven't left even a single step!" After that, this gang of pirates was seen through by the Su Lu Kingdom.Last night, they first implemented a tactic to slow down the troops. After dawn, they gathered troops to catch them. I was implicated by them!Do you want to die here unjustly as an accomplice of pirates?

Cao Xiong's face was sullen, and seeing Zhou Yingping's face ashen, he muttered to himself, as if the doomsday had collapsed.Thinking about it, he did stay here all night last night, and the two guards were also guarded, and such a timid person would not easily put himself in danger.There must be something wrong somewhere else.He stopped Qi Dajiang with a wave of his hand, and pointed out, "Go and block the gate, prepare to fight to the death!" He turned back and went into the house to get the weapon.

Qi Tian looked at the crowd who were busy preparing for the battle, and couldn't accept this situation for a while.Last night, I was still happily discussing how to fool the prince who was in power in the Sulu Kingdom. Why has the style of painting changed at this moment?And it was designed by others to catch a turtle in a urn, the contrast is too great.

"Heroes, I see that the soldiers of the Sulu Kingdom don't seem to be trying to deal with us!" Zhou Yingping followed the crowd to the wall and watched the situation outside, "They...seem to be waiting for some important person."

Soldiers from the Sulu Kingdom lined up around the building, and the two sides of the avenue leading to the city were also full of soldiers. Although these soldiers were carrying short knives and bamboo spears, they did not show any signs of alertness when encountering an enemy. The face peeked happily at the building.

"Could it be that they are here to catch us?" Cao Xiong also saw something strange, there was no battle formation, no attack orders, and no threats to invite battle. Looking at it, it looked like...a welcome guard of honor.

Not long after, a low-pitched rhinoceros horn sounded, solemn and majestic, and a team holding various flags slowly came over. In the middle of the team, a huge sedan chair was carried by seven or eight people, and a person was sitting inside. Wearing a golden crown, a stout nobleman of the Sulu Kingdom.

"His Royal Highness King Dong of the Sulu Kingdom, I heard that the general of the Shang Kingdom is here, and I am here to greet you!" A native who looked like a Sulu military officer stood at the door of the building and said with a bow.

"They put on such a big show just to welcome us?" Hu Wenjin said dumbfounded.

"That's right!" Zhou Yingping said with a smile, "For more than 200 years in my Ming Dynasty, there has never been a navy patrolling here. Today, when they saw that Sulu was in trouble at home and abroad, my Daming navy came here, of course they are very happy. Tsk tsk..., unexpectedly It’s Dong Wang who is here to welcome you!”

Cao Xiong gave Zhou Yingping a contemptuous look. He almost peed his pants in fright just now, and now he is showing his knowledge here.

"His Royal Highness King Dong of the Sulu Kingdom, here to greet the General of the Kingdom of Heaven!" The man at the door saw that there was no movement in the building for a long time, and under the prince's signal, he shouted again.Well, General of the Heavenly Dynasty, we need to be more airy, we have to be more polite.

"Boss?" Hu Wenjin looked at Cao Xiong eagerly.

"Come on, let's go out, don't let the prince wait too long! Niuhu, you and Xiaotian will stay with Shopkeeper Zhou in the building. Wait for us to come back!" Cao Xiong straightened his shabby military officer uniform of the Ming Dynasty, with a serious expression on his face He opened the door and walked out.

"Da Ming navy patrol guerrilla general Cao Xiong, I have seen the king!" Cao Xiong's angry voice came from outside, Qi Dajiang and Hu Wenjin were also dressed in the uniforms of the low-level military officers of the Ming Dynasty, holding a long knife, standing behind Cao Xiong with an agitated expression .

King Tunku Abdul Rahman of Sulu Kingdom, about [-] years old, inherited his father's throne four years ago, and assisted the East King together with the West King to manage the affairs of the country.In the morning, after hearing the report from the commander of the guard army, Techa, and the commander of the expedition to Luzon, Mabujia, the Daming navy patrolled Nanyang so far.Moreover, yesterday they cooperated with the fleet of the Sulu Kingdom to go to Luzon, and jointly defeated three large Spanish ships, causing a lot of damage.In addition, Mabujia also said that the Daming Navy patrolled Nanyang this time, with more than [-] warships and nearly [-] soldiers.The three princes were overjoyed upon hearing this.Therefore, King Dong was specially entrusted to come to the pier to meet the general of the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Little Wang Fanbang, I have met the general of Shangguo. The small country is vulgar and neglected, and the general forgives me!" Dongku Abdul Rahman, the king of Dongku, imitated the etiquette of Ming Dynasty, and said with cupped hands.

"Don't dare dare!" Cao Xiong's head was sweating a little. Although the person in front of him was just the king of a small country, he was also a serious prince!In his life, the biggest official he had ever met was Governor Denglai.

Dongku Abdul Rahman, the king of Dong, met the general of the Daming Navy in front of him, his expression was a little reserved, and he did not put on the majesty of a general from the heavenly kingdom, so he liked it in his heart.I saw him and his entourage again. The military officer's clothes were worn out. It must have been very hard to patrol the sea and borders, and they also fought with the Spaniard.

Tunku Abdul Rahman, the king of Dong, nodded, and couldn't help but think of some allusions about the kingdom of heaven.He took off the brocade robe on his body, and covered Cao Xiong's body with the brocade robe under Cao Xiong's bewildered expression.

"The general has worked hard, and the little king can't repay him. This brocade clothes should be used as a cover for the general." Tunku Abdul Rahman, the king of Dong, looked at Cao Xiong with a smile.

"Ah." Cao Xiong finally came to his senses at this time, he pinched the corner of the brocade robe, his face flushed red, "My lord...how can this be done!... Thank you, lord!" Cao Xiong even helped me put it on my body, and Cao Xiong was a little grateful.

"Your Majesty, if you have an errand, I will do it!" Cao Xiong blurted out in gratitude.

"It's over, your boss is about to be bought by that Dong King's clothes!" Zhou Yingping, who was peeking at the door of the building, jokingly said to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian was also shocked by Cao Xiong's heroic promise, my third uncle, don't think about it, we have a few knives, so we dare to say "but I have an assignment, I will do it"!
Seeing that King Dong took Cao Xiong's hand and walked towards their palace in Sulu Kingdom.Qi Tian felt that perhaps, before Cao Xiong finished his lunch, the four boats and hundreds of people would be sold out by him.

Looking at Zhou Yingping next to him, who was looking at a joke, Qi Tian made up his mind, he must abduct this guy back, from Cao Xiong down, no one will be able to do business.He hasn't taken any of the benefits yet, but he has paid all his benefits first.Thinking of this, he took another deep look at Zhou Yingping, then turned around and led the dog back to the house for dinner.

Being stared at by this bald boy, Zhou Yingping suddenly had some bad feelings in his heart.Immediately, he shook his head again, he was just a young man, at first glance, he was just a little knowledgeable pirate.From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think much of these pirates.Of course, Zheng Zhilong is an exception.These little pirates, as long as they dare to regard themselves as the middlemen of their business, hmph, they will chew until there is no scum left.He turned his head and glanced at the pirate who was staring at him with a knife, flicked his robe, and turned to the room where he rested last night.

"Brother Huzi, why are you staring at us like this?" Qi Tian ate his meal, went back to his bedroom, spread out a pen and paper, and began to record the materials needed to establish a foundation in Australia.At the same time, I am trying to recall the historical events of this period that later generations read in books.Tired of writing, I still teach Gouzi a few words from time to time.

Not long after, Niuhu poked his head to look around, and finally walked in, squatting in the corner of the room and watching him and Gouzi.

"I'll just take a look!" Niu Hu scratched his head and said.

"Brother Huzi, do you also want to learn how to read?" Qi Tian asked suddenly, looking at the thick man.

"I..., I think...," Niu Hu said coyly, "No one in my family will know how to read for a few lifetimes. I'll just... see..." Qitian and Gouzi are family names, and others are willing to teach them. can teach.From his ancestors, he was a farmer, a tenant, and then a soldier, so he didn't need to know how to read.But when he saw Qi Tian and Gou Zi writing and recognizing characters, he felt a little longing in his heart.

"Brother Huzi, come here, and I'll teach you and Gouzi to read together."

"Ah, are you willing to... teach me?"

"Teaching one is also teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. In the future, you will have a clearer understanding of the world after you know the characters. And, if you know the characters, it will be more useful for our future development!... By the way , when everyone is stable in the future, they all come to learn how to read.”

Niu Hu stared blankly at Qi Tian, ​​although he couldn't understand some of Qi Tian's words, but he knew that the boy in front of him, who was much younger than him, was willing to teach him how to read.For a moment, his nasal cavity was a little sour.

I, Niuhu, will be able to read and write in the future.
