Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 719 Do you want to naturalize in China?
"Baoguang Tathagata, if you leave that day, you won't see him for many years."

On the Yanziji of Zhidu Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Jinling, Emperor Lu greeted Deng Yuanjue with a smile.This is really an old friend.We said goodbye that day in Liangshan, and it was only after many years that we saw each other again.Moreover, this great monk was the first person to introduce the 'Rebel Scripture' to Manichaeism.

Emperor Lu remembered this favor.

Deng Yuanjue was like a monk Hua, still dressed as a monk, and bowed to Lu Qian.The treasure on the face is solemn, but what is in the heart is unknown.Anyway, the air column above the head is as light as air in color.

Even now, although many Manichaeans still follow the rebellious scriptures as the truth, many people feel that they were tricked by Emperor Lu.Deng Yuanjue is one of them!

The fault wasn't that he knew what he couldn't do, he wished he could take out his muddy iron Zen staff and give this fellow a hard blow.

Yanziji is surrounded by banners and flags, and guards and soldiers are around.With the arrival of Deng Yuanjue, all the guests who watched the ceremony were present, and the drums and horns on the top of Yanziji suddenly shook the sky, and the sound spread to Huang Tiandang far away——Huang Tiandang is the section of the Yangtze River northeast of Jinling City.

The faces of Jiangnan Navy Chief Liu Menglong and Deputy Chief Zhang Gongyu were filled with excitement.Today is a rare occasion for their river navy to show its face.

Lu Qi's navy is divided into two parts, the inner river and the outer sea. Judging from Emperor Lu's strategy, it is obvious that the outer sea is more important than the inner river.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the distribution of the leaders of the Liangshan Bo navy at that time. One or two things can be known. The only ones left in the inland river were Langli Baitiao, Zhang Shun and non-human beings, while those left in the outer sea were the three heroes of the Ruan family, Li Jun, and Tong Jia. Brothers and so on.

Therefore, Liu Menglong and Zhang Gongyu were particularly excited today.The three heroes of the Ruan family are powerful in Nanyang, attacking cities and lands, and decisively defeating Wang Yang, that is very majestic.

Their inland river navy has been inactive all year round. In terms of the most important first-line navy of the Yangtze River, the east and west are divided into two parts, one is the Taihu Navy in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is the Dongting Lake Navy in the south of Jing.Zhang Shun is now leading people to sit in Jingzhou to guard against the enemies of Kuizhou, otherwise why would the navy under review today be the Taihu Navy?
There are crowds of people on Yanziji, while on the river below the mountain, there are also warships covering the river, and there are many sails and masts.

The Emperor Lu, together with the civil and military guests behind him, watched the fleets of warships on the Baguazhou River on the east side, blocking the Yangtze River from east to west.These are his soldiers, even though they may not be able to make great contributions in this life, but this is the capital of him sitting on thousands of miles.

Letting so many people idle is also a sign of Lu Qi's strength, isn't it?
Although this inland navy is really useless, its military value is almost nothing.The great artists in Sichuan and Shu, the only money and food they have is used to develop the army and it is not enough. How can they have enough money to spend on building naval forces?

Therefore, the inland navy in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers looks like soldiers, but in fact it is more of a security patrol.Now he has already thought about splitting up the Inland River Navy, along the Yangtze River, as well as Taihu Lake, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake, setting up a battalion here and a part there. He really has the idea of ​​​​becoming a water security patrol.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The sound of cannons on the river interrupted Emperor Lu's memories. The naval warships arrived in front of Yanziji, and there were 25 or six warships ahead of them.They vary in size, but all are equipped with artillery.Hundreds of artillery pieces fired in unison, what a momentum it was.

The south bank of the Yangtze River was full of people.The Yangtze River at this time is not the narrow line of later generations. It is said that the river in front of Yanziji is not as long as the eighty miles of the river at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms. It is also fifty or sixty miles long.On the contrary, the river surface at Huangtiandang on the east side is narrow, because there is an island in the middle of the river called Baguazhou, which fills the river.

"What a shame, I actually neglected this point." A person from the Imperial City Division in the crowd suddenly said with sadness.Pointing to the gunboats on the river, he said to his companions who did not know what was going on: "If the inland navy can do more things, let the loyal and brave men board the ships, and only aim the artillery at Yanziji..." That is Even if the bombing doesn't kill Emperor Lu, it can make him lose face in front of all the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now, it's too late to regret.

These people have only heard about the power of artillery in legends, but they have no idea of ​​the range of artillery. They also don’t know that the gunboats being inspected today only have gunpowder but no cannons. They regret it with just their imagination. Si's man, isn't he similar to the man who died in Taibai Tower?

"Amitabha." Deng Yuanjue proclaimed a Buddha's name. "The monk has heard for a long time that the weapons of heavenly weapons are so sharp that no human flesh and blood can stop them. Today, I only heard the sound but did not see it, and I already feel terrified."

Emperor Lu laughed out loud when he heard this. Regardless of the air column above Monk Baoguang's head, Deng Yuanjue can also say good things.This fellow knew the purpose of Emperor Lu's invitation to attend today.Deng Yuanjue was indeed very clear, but he glanced at the smiling civil and military masters around Emperor Lu, especially when he saw Song Wan and Du Qian, the two old men in Liangshanbo, his mind was calm no matter what. No more.

These two people who were not in his eyes at the beginning are now earls, the hereditary founding uncles.This is really frustrating!Over the years, whether in the rivers and lakes or on the battlefield, who has heard of the name of Du Qian and Song Wan?But he was so blessed, and at this time he was by Emperor Lu's side, and his face looked very light.The temperament is also very different from when they met in Shuibo.Not to mention graceful and luxurious, but also standing like a mountain, calm and calm.

Living in Qi, nourishing body, after this person is going to be rich, he should pursue connotation.Things that are too red and fruity can be enjoyed directly without paying attention before, but now I think it is too straightforward.Just like the nouveau riche and aristocrats of later generations.Du Qian and Song Wan are like this.

Such an ordinary person, just because he was lucky enough to get a ride in Liangshanbo, can achieve today's results. This makes the Manichaeans who have not yet determined the overall situation, how can they not be envious?
Directly at Yanziji in Zhidu Mountain, the stone peaks stand abruptly on the river, facing the sky on three sides, and they look like swallows spreading their wings and about to fly.The turbulent waves crashed against the rocks at the bottom of the island, and groups of warships passed by.

The atmosphere on Yanziji is very relaxed. The Taihu Navy is dominated by the Jiangnan Inland River Navy, and there are more than 300 warships and warships in front and back.

"Da Qi really has a lot of soldiers and generals. This is only half of the Yangtze River Navy. There are so many warships. If they are all there, it should be twice as many. What's more, tens of thousands of sailors are bravely vacant..."

On the south bank of the river, there are not only people from the Huangcheng Division of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also people from the Huangcheng Division of the Shu Song Dynasty.The Lu emperor's country has already been firmly established, and the gap between them will only widen in the future.The discerning people among them have already seen the destruction of their own family in the future.

Back then, when someone saw King Zhou made a pair of chopsticks out of ivory, he burst into tears. Isn't the current situation more obvious than then?

Faisal bin Abdul-Aziz was also by the river, and next to him was Shah Rukh Afshar from Persia.The resistance between the two seems to have subsided by three points. Both of them made a move in Wusongkou at the beginning, and now they have doubled their profits.

"This is really a powerful empire." Sha Rukh murmured in a low voice.

China, with advanced technology and prosperous civilization, is naturally extremely powerful compared to the divided Tianfang world.But Shah Rukh sincerely praised China's strength because of those sharp artillery.He has seen Chinese gunboats easily beat unruly Chinese sailboats, triangular boats and other ships into large coffins that can only float on the sea more than once.

When a ship equipped with traditional weapons faces artillery, it is simply powerless to fight back.

When he was in Guangzhou, Shah Rukh, including Faisal, and many Tianfang merchants had sought cannons.Everyone has done it before - if I could get those cannons, the sea would be my dream.

But obviously they all failed.Those guys who went too far were thrown into prison and their property was confiscated.All his wives, daughters and relatives were fined and confiscated as slaves.

Such a severe punishment makes all the 'wrongful' people feel chilling.

And when I think about my former 'trade road', there is no dividing line between merchants and pirates on the sea.Sooner or later, Chinese merchant ships will be equipped with this mysterious and powerful weapon. At that time, the entire sea will be ruled by the Chinese.How could such a country and such an empire not be powerful?
What Sha Rukh saw in his eyes was only boats in the Yangtze River, but what he thought about was the distant future.

For this reason, Feisal couldn't help but think about the future and an idea he had inadvertently had.Oh, that really requires planning.He glanced at Shah Rukh next to him again and asked him to keep it a secret. No, it was his fault.The relationship between the two is not good to begin with, but if Shah Rukh speaks ill of himself, how credible is it?He can even strike first!

"Of course China is strong, and the future prospects of the hundreds of millions of people here will be even more wonderful and bright. So, Shah Rukh, do you want to be Chinese?" Faisal picked up the tea cup with an expression as if he was chatting nonsense. , but in fact it is extremely explosive.

Sha Rukh thought he had misheard, but looking at Feisal's calm expression, it was obvious that the bird man was not in a trance.I just heard right.His eyes are about to pop open.

As a citizen of Persia, although he bought real estate in Guangzhou and a store in Wusongkou, Shah Rukh never thought of becoming a Chinese!

He looked at Feisal with a sneer on his face. He didn't expect Feisal, a guy from aristocratic background, to think so much. When he returned to Guangzhou, see if Feisal would shake him out!Let Faisal's reputation be discredited.

"Isn't it good to be like the Pu family?" Feisal immediately understood his choice after seeing the mocking expression on Sha Rukh's face.But Feisal felt very puzzled, why?
He, Faisal, is a nobleman of the Kingdom of Oman, and now he hopes to become a Chinese citizen.So Shah Rukh is just an inconspicuous wealthy businessman in Persia, what can he be proud of?Like the Pu family in Guangzhou, where the family is prosperous and has both east and west, isn't it good?

"Pu family?" Shah Rukh expressed disdain.Such Tianfang people, who have been living abroad for hundreds of years, are no longer pure Tianfang people.For example, the Pu family's Pu boss not only looks like a native of Tianfang, but also behaves like a Chinese scholar.Therefore, when Guangzhou was reorganized into households, the Pu family naturally became Chinese, and even the merchants in Guangzhou were not surprised.

The two broke up unhappy.Feisal's servant worried on the side: "Master, if Sha Rukh returns to Guangzhou, tell me..." This will deal a heavy blow to Feisal's image.

"Then let people go back to Guangzhou first, saying that Shah Rukh saw the prosperity and strength of China, fell in love with it, and wanted to naturalize in China."

The relationship between Faisal and Shah Rukh was not very good to begin with. Shah Rukh's "slander" of him may not be useful, let alone his preemptive attack.
