1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 41 Sulu ([-])

"Calling the son-in-law?" Qi Tian couldn't help laughing, it must be because he has read too many dramas.

However, since the third uncle and the second brother can chat and laugh with the prince of Sulu Kingdom, it means that after a few meals and a few glasses of water and wine, the relationship has become harmonious.

"However, what do they mean when they see me as a young man?" Qi Tian was a little confused.

The Eastern King Alasa looked at the young man in front of him, with a bare head and a thin but handsome face. What was even more striking was that, under the gaze of the crowd, his calm expression and bright eyes looked at them neither humble nor overbearing.

"What a boy!" Aratha praised him. "There are so many talents in Ming Dynasty!"

"My lord is too famous, I don't dare to be a prince." Qi Tian did it properly, "This time, I will travel to Nanyang with my elder brother Yu Daming Navy to gain some knowledge."

"Oh?" Aratha smiled and looked at Cao Xiong next to him. Cao Xiong put his hand on his forehead and smiled wryly.

"Which places has the Daming Navy inspected this time?" Aratha asked narrowly.

"My Ming Navy set off from Guangzhou, first went to Ryukyu, then to the islands scattered in the South China Sea, and then passed through Luzon to attack Xiyi. At this point, it stopped in your country for supplies."

"Oh... then, where is Sulu from me?"

"Through Sulu, go to Boni, Brahman, and Champa, Annan, return to Qiongdao, and finally return to Guangzhou."

"Traveling thousands of miles and going through waves, what are the thoughts in the young man's mind?"

"Well, Nanyang is rich and the sea routes are difficult. My Ming Dynasty has a vast land and sea territory, which makes my generation lament that it was not easy for our ancestors to open up."

"Have you ever thought about becoming an official and serving the Celestial Dynasty?"

"That's natural." Qi Tian substituted himself into the model of a young scholar of Ming Dynasty, "Cultivating one's morality and governing the country and the world, sharing the worries of the king and the court, should be the responsibility of my generation."

"Haha..." Aratha pointed at Qi Tian and laughed loudly, so did King Xi and King Dong.

Well, what do you mean, don't you see that I am passionate and impassioned?Are you laughing like this, are you laughing at Lao Tzu?Qi Tian looked at Cao Xiong and his second brother depressedly, only to find that they were shaking their heads with wry smiles.Could it be that the opening mode of the two-year-old teenagers in the Ming Dynasty was wrong?

"We are pirates who fled here!" Qi Dajiang reminded Qitian helplessly.

"Second brother!" Qi Tian was shocked, we are pirates, how can we say this, and in front of the three princes of Sulu Kingdom.

"Xiaotian, the three princes already know our identities, you are here...don't talk nonsense." After Cao Xiong finished speaking, thinking of what Qi Tian said just now, he thought it was also very funny.

"Ah?" Qi Tian looked at the three Sulu kings who were still laughing, extremely embarrassed, co-authored, just now that Dong Wang was teasing himself!This Tubang prince doesn't pay attention at all!

"Little boy, based on what you said just now, I think you are extraordinary!" Dong Wang said with a smile.

Extraordinary?This means, should I understand it from the front or the back?Qi Tian was not sure whether the Eastern King was mocking him or praising him.He laughed awkwardly, but didn't speak.

"Hehe..." Dong Wang said with a smile, "Your brother said that you have extensive knowledge and knowledge of the geographical situation in Nanyang. I wonder if you can explain to us how to resolve the predicament in Sulu?"

How to resolve it?Take care of me!
"You are young, how can you analyze the important military affairs, let alone resolve the difficulties in Sulu." Qi Tian shirked, what a joke, in this 17th century, Western colonial powers poured into Southeast Asia one after another, staking their land, and eventually will All the land and ocean in the South China Sea were divided up.This is irreversible, unless you have golden fingers.

"Hehe..." Hearing what Qi Tian said, the Eastern King was not angry, and said to the Western King, "Why don't you tell him about the current predicament of our Sulu Kingdom?"

King Xi and King Dong looked at each other helplessly, and then turned their heads to tell Qi Tian that Sulu Kingdom was currently facing a double attack from Spain and Boni, but Sulu Kingdom could not support it at all.

Oh, it turns out that Sulu Kingdom is not only invaded by Spain at this time, but also has Boni in the northwest threatening them.However, it is recorded in the history books that the Sulu Kingdom seems to have persisted until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and even submitted to it on a table (in fact, the Sulu Kingdom existed until the early days of the American colonization of the Philippines).

"I didn't expect Sulu Kingdom to be so difficult!" Qi Tian sighed, "Why don't you ask..., uh, don't ask me, Da Ming, for help?"

"Why didn't you ever send an envoy to ask Daming for help!" Xi Wang stood up excitedly, "However, for decades, every time I went to the capital of Daming, I was either ignored or pushed back and forth by various yamen. Daming never responded ah!"

Heh, in the past few decades, the dilapidated house of Daming has leaks everywhere, and the wind and smoke are everywhere, and Houjin is eyeing him, so he will definitely not take care of you, a Nanyang fan country.

The East King patted the West King on the shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "The Kingdom of Heaven has its own difficulties, and we don't have to force it. I, Sulu Kingdom, should work hard to fight the two enemies to the end!"

"King Dong, before you come here, can you prepare the rewards from General Cao's troops?" Dong Wang turned to King Dong and asked, "Three thousand rewards, not one less!"

"Reward? His Royal Highness Dongwang... oh, I will prepare immediately." King Dong nodded hurriedly.

"General Cao, since your ministry is at sea helping our Sulu Kingdom repel the Westerners. In order to thank you for your courage in fighting, please call all the soldiers on board to come ashore to have fun with our Sulu Kingdom soldiers and people?" Dong Wang turned to face him again. Cao Xiong said.

"Then..., thank you, my lord!" Cao Xiong said happily, although Qi Tian didn't help out with an idea, but his lord Su Lu generously rewarded us, "Da Jiang, you go to the boat and bring all the brothers down. We must thank the three princes of Sulu Kingdom!"

"Hey!" Qi Dajiang agreed, turned around immediately, and was about to go out.

"Second brother, wait a minute!" Qi Tian suddenly called Qi Dajiang to stop, and everyone in the room looked over.

"Little boy, is there anything else you want to tell your brother?" Dong Wang asked with a smile.

"I..., I..." Qi Tian bit his lip and looked at Qi Dajiang without speaking for a long time.

"Then, Xiaotian, if you have anything to say, tell me in detail when I come back!" As he said that, he was about to step out.

"Second brother, third uncle... and three princes, I think of a way to temporarily solve the crisis in your Sulu Kingdom." Qi Tian said, "Please come to the table, I will explain in detail."

Dong Wang looked at Qi Tian for a long time, then smiled, and walked to the table first, followed by Xi Wang and Dong Wang.

"Third Uncle, Second Brother, you also come to read the details and see if what I say is reasonable?"

Cao Xiong and Qi Dajiang looked at each other and walked over.

"Three princes, this is your Sulu Kingdom." Qi Tian first randomly drew a string of islands on a piece of white paper.

"Then, here is the large island of Luzon and nearby islands occupied by Spain."

"Here, southwest of Sulu, this big island must be Boni."

"The northeast corner of this big island was originally my Sulu land, and it was occupied by Boni." King Xi reached out and tapped the northeast corner of the big island drawn on the Qitian paper.

"That's right. Your Sulu Kingdom not only wants to defeat the enemies on both sides at the same time, but also wants to regain the country."

"That's right!"

"It's hard!" Qi Tian shook his head and said, "No matter the current national strength or the external environment, it is very unlikely for your Sulu Kingdom to defeat two enemies at the same time, especially Spain."

"Why? It is said that there are no more than [-] Naxi people in Luzon, and the people of Luzon islands have the same beliefs as my Sulu, and they are all guided by the true god."

"You only see that Spain has only [-] people in Luzon, but they occupy tens of millions of land in America and Europe thousands of miles away, with millions of people and more than a thousand warships. The whole may be different from ours. Daming is close in strength."

"Ah?" It was the first time that everyone heard that Spain had such strength, and their faces changed color.

"So, to deal with Spain, it is best for the Sulu Kingdom not to confront the enemy head-on." Qi Tian continued, "In the future, when the Westerners come to attack, Sulu can fortify the walls and clear the country, and all the soldiers and civilians will hide in the mountains. If they want to enter the mountains to attack you , presumably, the soldiers of the Sulu Kingdom can display their combat power better in the forest, and easily repel the incoming enemy. If they do not attack the incoming enemy, the food and grass supplies of the Westerners will come from thousands of miles from the sea, so how can they last on the shore?"

"That makes sense!" Dong Wang nodded, "He came from the West, and I temporarily took refuge in the mountains and forests. The Westerners can't retreat for a long time, so I will return. In this way, the Westerners can't do anything to me... What should Boni do?" how?"

"Bo Ni..." Qi Tian pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on Dong Wang, "Does Su Lu Kingdom dare to put his death on the young people?"
