Chapter 407 Chapter 418: To Qiongnan

On June [-]th, Lu Yun sent good news that Liuqiu Shipyard's first Galen ship was completed and successfully entered the water for sea trials. Li Hao was so happy. Soon, the newly built Galen ship appeared in Mingzhu Harbor. The hull of the ship is obviously several times larger than other ships around, and it is mighty and domineering.

Although this Galen ship is only a small Galen ship, it is bound to be eliminated in the future, but it is the first ship after all, which has epoch-making significance. Li Hao personally named this ship "Starting Point". That's right, this ship It will be a starting point for Li Hao to start the era of great voyages.

Next, Li Hao and Lu Zhi asked for all the shipbuilding data and blueprints of the "Starting Point", and copied and copied them himself. He wanted to take these blueprints to Qiongnan and build another shipyard there.

Li Hao became very excited when he thought that he would set off the era of great voyages. Although there were many construction data and blueprints of the Galen ship, he decided to copy them by himself. For a whole month, Li Hao spent most of his time in his study. Fifth, Li Hao finally finished transcribing.

Li Hao's three wives also finished confinement, and Li Hao's itinerary also started.

On July 31th, Li Hao's fleet left Mingzhu Harbor. There was one more ship in the fleet. That's right, it was the Galen ship "Starting Point". Li Hao also took away three people who participated in the construction of Starting Point. One of the important craftsmen is Lu Song, Lu Zhi's nephew. Lu Song is [-] years old. He has followed Lu Zhi for so many years, and his craftsmanship has already been passed down by Lu Zhi. Li Hao plans to build another team of craftsmen after he arrives in Qiongnan. It is conceivable that after arriving in Qiongnan, he was quite busy.

In summer, the sea was very stormy, and Li Hao and the others encountered a sea breeze. Fortunately, they were sailing close to the coastal area. Pei Miao, a meteorological expert, was on board, and they predicted that there would be wind and rain in advance. Li Hao and the others chose to dock. Stop, the coast is in the wilderness, and there are only some fishing villages. After inquiring, I found out that this place belongs to the prefecture of Guangzhou. The closest ones are Guangzhou and Xunzhou. Guangzhou is in the northwest, and Xunzhou is in the northeast. Li Hao checked the map , unexpectedly found that the place where they are now is likely to be Hong Kong in the future world. He personally led people to ride horses along the coast to check the terrain and draw a map. After four or five days of busy work, he roughly mapped out the coastal terrain. The area should be the west section of Lantau Island. In this way, it is more certain that this is the Hong Kong of the future world. It turns out that Hong Kong in ancient times was a desolate place. Although these fishermen were the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, because they lived on the island, the transportation was inconvenient. , the way of life is extremely backward.

Li Hao secretly decided that after he settles down in Qiongnan, he must open two ports here, one on Hong Kong Island and one on Lantau Island, to make this place prosperous, because this location is an excellent port location, why is Hong Kong called Hong Kong? , is determined by its special geographical location.

After staying here for so many days, the wind and rain have passed, Li Hao and the others set off again, and after twelve days, they finally arrived at the legendary Qiongnan Island.

Qiongnan currently has only three states, and the span of the three states is quite wide. They are Yazhou in the north of the island, Dan (dan) state in the southwest, and Zhenzhou in the southwest of the island.

The reason why these three states were separated must have been planned to use the three regions as bases, spread to the center of the island, and then cover the entire island when it was first built.

However, according to what Li Hao learned, this idea seems to have been aborted, because there are many mountains in the southern peninsula, and there is also a large area of ​​tropical rainforest. There are many Qiongnan aborigines living in it. They are very resistant to the Tang people. Although after so many years of hard work, many aborigines have gradually begun to accept the Tang people and trade and interact with the Tang people, there are still a large number of aborigines who do not like the Tang people.

When Li Hao comes this time, he will naturally go to Yazhou first. After all, Yazhou is the political center of Qiongnan. Yazhou is in the north of the island, close to the Qiongzhou Strait. Li Hao first ordered the boat to sail into the Qiongzhou Strait. Not long after entering the Strait, he saw There is a port on the southern bank. Li Hao and his fleet sailed to the port. The port was small and poorly built. Through the binoculars, a city could be seen to the east. Li Hao picked up the map and looked at it for a while, muttering to himself. : "To the east must be Yancheng, this port should be Haikou Port, and the mountain behind the port seems to be Qiongshan."

Li Hao's fleet entered the port, which caused quite a stir in the port. Haikou Port was originally not big, and their fleet attracted hundreds of people to visit.

After entering the port, Li Hao's ship began to fly his flag as King of Qiongnan County. The guards and people on the shore exclaimed and commented. The owner of the fleet claimed to be the King of Qiongnan. Wang Ye, isn't that the biggest character in Qiongnan?

There is a river from Haikou Port that can directly lead to the southern peninsula of Qiongnan. It is called Shecheng Water. The reason why Shecheng Water is called Shecheng Water is because it passes through Shecheng, and the seat of Yazhou is in Shecheng.

Li Hao originally planned to go to Shecheng from Shecheng River, but now the wind is blowing from the southeast, and the water is also flowing northward, against the wind and the current, the boat can't go in, so he can only order to go ashore.

I saw Li Hao's men coming down from the boat one after another, setting up Li Hao's car and ceremonial guards. Shanmao took special forces and hundreds of guards to stay on the boat to guard, because the boat was still full of supplies, so it must be guarded carefully. If something goes wrong, the supplies and money can only be moved off the ship after Li Hao settles down.

As soon as Li Hao's guard of honor was displayed, the people around the harbor backed away in fright. King Qiongnan, are they not afraid? It sounds very scary.

There were more than 30 soldiers guarding the harbor. Seeing Li Hao displaying such a grand guard of honor, they all gathered together and stared nervously at Li Hao and his team.

Naturally, Li Hao also found them, and sent Li Guocheng to question them. Li Guocheng walked up to the group of guards and asked loudly, "Which one of you has the highest position here?"

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and said, "I am the leader, Wang Chuan."

"Wang Duizheng." Li Guocheng cupped his hands, "I am Li Guocheng, the personal guard under Li Hao, the King of Qiongnan, and I came to ask questions under the order of King Qiongnan. May I ask Cui Wenxian, the governor of Yazhou, to be in Shecheng?"

The governor of Yazhou was named Cui Peng, whose character was Wenxian. He was the governor of Yangzhou many years ago. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, he was exiled to Yazhou because of poor management of the flood in Yangzhou.

Li Hao had inquired about this Cui Peng before he came, so how to evaluate this person, let's use a good person to evaluate him.Why use "good man" to evaluate him? First of all, this Cui Peng is indeed a good man. He does not take bribes and break the law, does not lie to his superiors and subordinates, and does not take bribes. He is an upright and honest official.

But he is just a good person, why, because he was born as a scholar, he has read a lot, he is a little out of touch with the real society, his brain is dead, he is rigid and inflexible in doing things, and it is not a problem to deal with small things. But when it comes to major events, it is easy to make mistakes. Sending him to deal with floods will naturally not cure them, so he deserves to be demoted.

Cui Peng basically belonged to the kind of incompetent minister that Li Hao said. He was not expected to be an official, but he was actually able to become the governor of Yangzhou, which shows how much his status as a good person has added to him.

Wang Chuan didn't dare to ask Li Hao, King Qiongnan's identity, and could only answer truthfully: "Cui Dudu is in Shecheng."

"Thank you." Li Guocheng said, "I would like to trouble King Lieutenant to send someone to Shecheng to inform Dudu Cui that Qiongnan King Li Hao and General Xue Rengui Xue Rengui, the captain of Zhechong, the trustworthy Yazhou, have arrived. Later, I will set off with my family to pay a visit to Dudu Xue in Shecheng. "

"Li Hao!" Wang Chuan exclaimed when he heard the words, "You mean Li Hao, the God of War?"

Li Guocheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, his eyes lit up and he said: "You have actually heard of my prince's reputation?"

Wang Chuan excitedly said: "As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not have heard of the new military god of the Tang Dynasty? General Li is my God General of the Tang Dynasty. Even in this miserable and evil place in Qiongnan, General Li's name is as loud as thunder. !"

Li Guocheng smiled all over his face and said, "Thank you for your praise, but it's still a matter of business. Please, Captain Wang, hurry up and report to Dudu Cui."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Wang Chuan hurriedly turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him, "Two tigers, three tigers, you two should go to Shecheng to inform Governor Cui, and say that Qiongnan King General Li Hao is coming, and the new Zhechong capital General Wei Xue Rengui is also here, and they will go to Shecheng to pay a visit to Governor Cui soon."

"Yes!" The two soldiers immediately took the order and turned around to lead the horse to report.

Li Guocheng chatted with Wang Chuan again, and returned to Li Hao's side to report: "My lord, they have already sent someone to report."

"Yeah." Li Hao nodded and asked curiously, "You talked with that person for a long time just now, what were you talking about?"

Li Guocheng said excitedly: "My lord, you don't know something, so your reputation has already spread to Qiongnan!"

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked with a smile, "What kind of reputation, a bastard's reputation?"

"No, how could it be a bastard's reputation." Li Guocheng excitedly said, "It's your invincible reputation, my lord. Just now the team leader Wang Chuan said that everyone in their army called you the new military god , and said that you are the great general of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hehe." Li Hao smiled lightly, and said with joy, "They still have a good eye." This sentence is very pretentious.

Hearing this, Zhu Ruihuan raised his right hand to cover his face, leaned in front of Chen Song, and said in a low voice: "Oh, boss, this shameless problem seems to be serious again."

Chen Song nodded: "Yes."

Li Hao suddenly turned his head to look at the two of them, and asked with a sneer, "You two, what are you chewing behind my back?"

Chen Song hurriedly pointed at Zhu Ruihuan, with an innocent face, and said, "Zhu Erdou said you are shameless."

Zhu Ruihuan was angry and anxious when he heard the words, pointed at Chen Song, and said, "You nodded."

Chen Song still looked innocent, and said, "I was dozing off."

Zhu Ruihuan said anxiously: "You hummed."

"I was talking in my sleep." Chen Song didn't realize what shamelessness was, and opened his eyes to talk nonsense.

Zhu Ruihuan stared and shouted: "Sleeping while standing? Who are you lying to?"

Chen Song said solemnly: "I used to be a killer, and it was commonplace to sleep standing up."

Li Hao nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, Zhu Ruihuan asked anxiously when he saw this, "Boss, do you believe what he said?"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I don't believe it, I'm not stupid."

Zhu Ruihuan breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could drag Chen Song into the water, otherwise he would be so upset, who told him to betray himself first.

But Li Hao suddenly said again: "But I like Chen Song's shameless virtue, so Chen Song can be exempted from punishment, and you will be fined for three months."
