Capital Datang

The early battle in Luzon was very smooth. Zhou Long designed to lead the two hostile alliances to a decisive battle on the plain. Although they faced several times the enemy, it was almost a one-sided massacre. Not only the 20 native coalition troops on the battlefield were killed In addition, Zhou Long also sent [-] Linyi people and [-] short black troops to follow and kill these defeated soldiers. As a result, even if these defeated soldiers fled to the tropical jungle, they could not escape the enemy behind them. hunted down.

After this battle, more than half of the 30 troops of the Hejia Alliance and the Yilu Alliance suffered casualties, and the rest followed the leader and fled back to their own tribe. No matter how much the patriarchs of the two alliances called, they were unwilling to send troops again.

However, this gave Zhou Long a chance to defeat each of them. After he rested his troops, he immediately divided his troops into several groups and began to sweep the tribes in the two alliances from west to east, but most of these tribes were blocked by jungles. , so the troops participating in the mopping up this time are mainly Linyi army and short blacks.

Originally, the main forces of the two major alliances had been wiped out, and the rest were remnants and defeated generals. It should be easy to sweep them up, but Zhou Long and the others soon discovered that the war had just begun. When the tribe sends troops, the enemy they face is no longer the natives, but the harsh environment in the tropical jungle.

Speaking of which, Zhou Long has already made a lot of preparations for the harsh environment in Luzon, and even let 12 troops train in Manila for four or five months, but when he actually entered the jungle to fight, he realized that the previous preparations were far from enough. not enough.Capital Datang 480

For example, on the sixth day of the decisive battle in the plain, a coalition army composed of short blacks and Japanese was ordered to hunt down a 5000-man tribal coalition army, and Zhou Long sent out 2000 men at that time.Among them, there are one thousand dwarf blacks and one thousand Japanese.Originally, the opponent was just a defeated army and had no fighting power at all.As long as you catch up with the opponent, it will be fine, but wait until half a month later when the hunting army comes out of the jungle. The 1000 dwarf blacks only lost about 1000 people, but the same 100 Japanese people were just the opposite. Only more than [-] people were able to walk out of the jungle, and all of them were injured. stunned.

Zhou Long was also very shocked by this result, and at the same time, he was a little fortunate that he could subdue the local short blacks in Luzon, otherwise he would only rely on the troops from the north such as the Japanese and grassland people.I am afraid that Luzon will not be defeated at all.It is also worth mentioning that the Linyi people are also very adaptable to jungle warfare. In the process of chasing and killing the enemy, their casualty rate is only a little higher than that of the short blacks.As for the Japanese and Sanhan people, their adaptability is also good, at least they still have a certain combat effectiveness in the jungle.However, the prairie cavalry who overwhelmed the tribal coalition before could not do it. They were very uncomfortable with the climate on Luzon's side, and the non-combat attrition was very serious.

It is also the harsh natural conditions in Luzon that caused Zhou Long's army to suffer heavy casualties.And most of them were non-combat attrition, which forced Zhou Long to transfer another batch of troops from Lin Yi, and also increased the number of some short black troops, and then organized them into a jungle army.Specially responsible for cleaning up the tribes in the jungle.

Although there were heavy casualties, Luzon Island still fell into the hands of Zhou Long's army step by step. Although he joined the Alliance and the Yilu Alliance several times, he wanted to reorganize the resistance.But it's a pity that they have been defeated by Zhou Long before, and even some tribes in the alliance no longer listen to their orders.In addition, their feud, the dwarf blacks, continued to attack them from both light and dark sides, so the territories of the two major alliances were quickly cleaned up.

And in the process.The happiest thing is the slave hunters from all over the world. The destruction of the two major tribal alliances has greatly increased the source of slaves. Therefore, the slave traders during this period are like bloody yiyàng. As long as there is a battle, there will be them. , These people waved the silver coins in their hands to exchange for the slaves they needed from the army, and the army was also very willing to increase an income point, so they also provided convenience to these slave traders as much as possible.

Li Yin, who was far away in Taiwan, was also very happy when he received the news. He not only sent people to reward the three armies, but also wrote a letter to Yanbei, asking him to put aside the matter of the Slave Catching Association as much as possible. Study the terrain of Luzon, list some places suitable for development, and make preparations to lay a foundation for future immigration.

"Cousin, I'm leaving, you must remember to visit me in Chang'an!" Cai'er, who was wearing a lusè long dress on the huge King Qi, was full of tears, holding Nanyang who was less than one year old in one hand, Holding the almost three-year-old Australia with one hand, and the five-year-old Chou Chou hugging Cai'er's leg, her face was full of tears.

"Don't worry, my cousin will definitely go back to see you when he is free. Besides, my grandmother's health is not very good, so I have to worry about Cai'er in the future!" Li Yin also said with some reluctance. Xin, Xijun and other girls all came to see Cai'er off.

It is now March of the 17th year of Zhenguan, and it has been ten months since Nanyang was born last year. It is the cutest time, but at this moment, Empress Xiao proposed to bring Caier back to Chang'an. Originally, Li Yin wanted to persuade her She stayed, but Empress Xiao gave a reason that Li Yin couldn't refuse.

When Li Yin first met Cai'er, it was the 12th year of Zhenguan, and now it has been 17 years of Zhenguan, and Cai'er has grown from a ten-year-old girl to a 15-year-old young girl.Moreover, Cai'er inherited the beauty gene of their Yang family girl, and she already has the "color" of the city at the age of 15, even if she is compared with Wen Xin, she is not much inferior.

Watching her granddaughter grow up day by day, but Empress Xiao's body is getting old day by day, and she even suffered from a serious illness last year. If Mengxue hadn't diagnosed and treated her in time, the situation might have become extremely bad.Originally, Empress Xiao's life was rough, and she had seen through life and death long ago, but she still had one unfulfilled wish, that is to arrange a marriage match for Cai'er.

Although the Sui Dynasty has perished, Cai'er's status is still extremely noble. Apart from other things, just the aunt Yang Concubine can make Cai'er the number one wealthy woman in the Tang Dynasty, let alone the other Li Ke and Li Yin are two cousins ​​with outstanding abilities, so Cai'er's marriage must not be careless, and a man who is suitable for Cai'er can only be found in Chang'an.

Hearing the reason Empress Xiao said, Li Yin naturally couldn't stop it, even if he didn't have too many things to do now, he might go back to Chang'an again, and then settle Cai'er's marriage. She is also his cousin, and his uncle Yang Hao has also provided him with a lot of help, so he naturally wants to worry more about Cai'er's marriage.

It's just a pity that Li Yin has too many facts in his hands now. The immigration will last for several years, Linyi is still unstable, and Taiwan's development cannot be separated from him. Song, although there are special personnel in charge everywhere, but it also needs Li Yin to sit in Taiwan and control the overall situation without deviation.

It was precisely because of this that Empress Xiao and Cai'er could only leave alone this time.As for Princess Nanyang who was with Empress Xiao at the beginning, she was not in Taiwan. Princess Nanyang lived in Sibi with her mother Empress Xiao for a period of time, but she liked the religious atmosphere there very much, so she decided to live there for a long time. Min simply built a Taoist temple in Sibi for the practice of Princess Nanyang.

Cai'er has been well-behaved and smart since she was a child, and has a good relationship with Wen Xin, Xi Jun and other sister-in-laws. In addition, the two little guys, Chou Chou and Australia, also like this cousin very much. It can be said that they have always been Cai'er's follower. The first time she knew that her aunt was going to leave, she was naturally very reluctant, and Chou Chou even hugged Cai'er's leg, crying not to let her leave.

But no matter how reluctant, Empress Xiao and Cai'er still had to leave. In the end, Li Min hugged Chou Chou, Wen Xin and Mei Niang also brought their son, and then stood on the pier in Keelung to see Cai'er off. In the sad atmosphere of parting, even Li Yin couldn't help sighing a few times, and at the same time his eyes were a little red.

Although Li Yin said just now that he would go to Chang'an to see Cai'er, he knew that he could say that he had established an independent kingdom. But he can no longer enter and leave Datang at will, which he has figured out since he moved his family out of Dengzhou.

Another point is that Empress Xiao is over 80 years old. Although she has been staying with him for the past few years and has received very careful care, Empress Xiao is indeed too old, and her health is getting worse day by day. The grandparents and grandchildren will never see each other again.Capital Datang 480

Thinking of the days spent with Empress Xiao all these years, and how Empress Xiao loved and cared for him when they first met each other, Li Yin couldn't help but feel a little sad, but at the same time he made up his mind that if Empress Xiao If it really came to that day, my grandson would go back to Chang'an to attend her funeral no matter what.

Just when Li Yin sent Empress Xiao and Cai'er aboard, his actions in Lu Song were finally transmitted back to Datang.At the beginning, this news was only spread among the rich and powerful, but slowly through newspaper reports, more and more people learned of the news.However, this news did not attract too many people's attention.Firstly, Luzon is too far away, and secondly, they have heard too much about Li Yin's expansion of territory in the past few years, so everyone is a little numb.

However, when a tall young man in the western suburbs of Chang'an heard the news, he punched the table excitedly, then stood up and walked around the room a few times, and finally said in a hateful voice: "A man was born in this world!" , since you should lift a three-foot sword and make invincible achievements, how can you stay in Chang'an?"
