Chapter 73
"Your Majesty's scheme cannot be achieved!"

Listening to Hu Zongxian's words, Qi Jiguang's eyes couldn't help but look shocked, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion for a long time.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty is a man of heaven. Naturally, it is beyond our reach. Jiguang, this is your chance. Your Majesty values ​​you very much. Before leaving, He even specifically told me to protect you and do a good job. After this time , I am afraid the future is boundless."

Hu Zongxian laughed and nodded, and patted Qi Jiguang's shoulder heavily with his thick palm.

"His Majesty!"

Qi Jiguang's eyes were grateful.

There seems to be another feeling of longing for the Emperor who has never been seen before.

"Hahaha!"

"Go and rest, it may take half a month to reach Nanyang."

Hu Zongxian smiled and spoke.

"No, I want to get used to sailing in the sea."

Qi Jiguang shook his head, but did not return.

Hu Zongxian nodded with a smile. For this junior, he originally thought he was a related household, but whether it was the extermination of the Japanese pirates before or the current trip to the sea, he was extremely satisfied.

The two stood on the deck.

And the clipper-style sailboat, as if riding the wind and waves, headed towards Nanyang quickly.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

The Ming Fleet first arrived in the South China Sea, then went down the South China Sea and arrived in South Vietnam.

At this moment, South Vietnam is still in a melee.

In the 15th century, during the Yongle reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch of the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam was usurped by his foreign relative Hu Jiyao. The Hu Dynasty expanded its territory to Zhandong and Gulei, which is now the southern part of Guangnan and Guangyi. The Ming Dynasty overthrew the Hu family at the request of the survivors of the Chen Dynasty. regime.

Later, the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation to recover Vietnam, set up prefectures and counties, set up Jiaozhicheng and announced the political envoy, and once again carried out direct rule, that is, "Annan belongs to the Ming Dynasty".However, a few years after Ming Chengzu's death, after Li Loi defeated the Ming army and promised to maintain the suzerain-vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, he regained his independence and established the Hou Li Dynasty.

But after reaching the present, the Li Dynasty and the Mo Dynasty confronted each other, and the whole South Vietnam was at war.

When Daming's fleet arrived, both the Hou Li Dynasty and the Mo Dynasty could not help being frightened, and the war stopped involuntarily.

There is no way, the scene a hundred years ago is still vivid in his memory, they are afraid that they will be annexed by Daming again, last time he was able to recover with luck, this time it may not be possible.

Surprisingly, however, Hu Zongxian didn't pay attention to them, nor did he plan to attack them.

Instead, they were summoned directly.

Even whether it was the Houli Dynasty or the Mo Dynasty, Hu Zongxian gave promises and even gave support.

And this made Hou Li Chao and Mo Chao very excited. Having Da Ming's support, doesn't it mean that they are orthodox?

The vigilance of a while ago disappeared.

on the deck.

Looking at the messenger from Mo Chao being sent away, Qi Jiguang opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue his words.

"Why, what do you want to ask?"

Hu Zongxian said funny.

"Master Hu, haven't you already promised the Hou Li Dynasty, why?"

Qi Jiguang opened his mouth with a confused inquiry.

"Hahaha, admit it, what kind of confession, did you seal His Majesty's imperial decree, or did you get the token? I just said that my lord has admitted it."

Hu Zongxian chuckled.

"This!"

And listening to Hu Zongxian's words, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"For the Ming Dynasty, the land of South Vietnam is the homeland of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and we should conquer it. However, South Vietnam has been separated from China for hundreds of years. Even the ancestors in the past have not been able to achieve full success. If we want to complete it, it is equivalent to reaching heaven, but we still need to To leave some opportunities for later generations.”

Hu Zongxian spoke leisurely.

The voice could not help but carry a sense of sadness.

And his words also made Qi Jiguang silent.

What is engraved in the bones of Chinese military generals is the expansion of territory, and the most shining example in the history books is the sealing of wolves to Xu and the control of Shi Yanran.

All generals have such a dream.

Not to mention that South Vietnam was still the homeland of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

"Let's go, get ready, we need to move on."

"It won't be so safe in the future."

Hu Zongxian spoke softly, pulling Qi Jiguang back from this thought.

"Yes!"

Qi Jiguang nodded.

Soon, one after another big ships set sail again, heading towards Nanyang.

Qi Jiguang also made preparations amid tension.

However, things went unexpectedly smoothly.

The Ming Dynasty descended from South Vietnam and arrived at the port of Luzon four days later.

Luzon now has changed from what it was back then.

In 1417, the three kings of the Sulu Islands, East King Batu Gebahala, West King Mahala Gemading, and Dong King Batu Gebalab led a delegation of 340 people from their families to visit Daming. The reception of Ming Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.

Luzon has since become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

However, it is not long.

In 1450, the Arab merchant Said Abu Bakr established an Islamic regime in the southern Philippines.

Then the Spaniards began to spread to Luzon Island and became the de facto ruler of Luzon Island.

The original three kings of the Sulu Islands, the East King, the West King, and the Tun King, have disappeared. Only the Tun King is left, and the territory is less than one-third of the previous one.

In 1565, Cebu Island was occupied by the Spaniards from Mexico, which was the beginning of Spanish rule in Luzon.

When the Ming Fleet arrived, Hu Zongxian was ready to deal with the enemy.

However, unexpectedly, when they arrived at the port, a dark figure in simple clothes crawled directly on the ground.

At the same time, a piece of news quickly spread to a simple city.

"Angel!"

"The angel has arrived!"

A guard spoke hastily, his words trembling and throbbing like never before.

In the main hall, an old man who was worried at first looked over instantly.

"Darui, what did you say?"

The old man frowned and spoke with displeasure in his eyes.

As the last king in the Sulu Kingdom at this moment, he still values ​​his bodyguard very much, but he didn't expect the other party to be so reckless.

"King, the angel has arrived!"

"Big Angel!"

The guard trembled with excitement.

The guard didn't care about the frown in the old man's expression, and spoke quickly.

"Angel, what angel?"

The old man frowned and spoke again.

"Da Ming, Da Ming Angel."

"There are many boats on the seashore, and there are also characters taught to us by the former king."

"That must be an angel. An angel has come to save us."

The guard spoke incoherently.

There is no way, because of the tribute that year, Su Lu Kingdom has unprecedented respect for Daming, and this kind of respect has even spread to the country.

Those people who returned to China in the past spared no effort to praise Daming.

So even if a hundred years have passed, the entire Ming Dynasty has had an extremely huge impact on the Sulu Kingdom.

Not only the nobles can speak Chinese characters, but they are also full of longing for Daming.
