Chapter 5087 Students' Travel
Steping onto the Tang people's warship is equivalent to stepping onto the territory of the Tang Kingdom. At that moment, the chiefs naturally felt a strong sense of pride and mission.
Above the ocean, there are islands scattered, countless countries, and more than one billion indigenous people?
But how many of them can really set foot on the Tang Dynasty and appreciate the wealth, majesty and magnificence of the Celestial Empire?
Being able to step on the Tang Army Navy ships is an extremely honor.
In the cabin, Yang Zhou did not show up. Xi Jun bought armor and sat in the middle, with soldiers standing on both sides and wearing swords, with solemn and murderous intent.
The chiefs came forward tremblingly, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and worshiped with etiquette they used when worshiping the gods, and kissed the boots of the Tang generals...
Xi Junmai felt disgusted, kicked the chief over with one kick, and asked with a cold face: "Don't do these fancy bells and whistles, what's the point?"
The chief was not angry, got up from the ground, smiled with a shy face, "I The people in the mountains and fields have long admired the style of the country. Today, they came to send some gifts to the general to express their loyalty and love. "
From the moment the Tang people set foot on the land of Luzon, writing Chinese characters and speaking Chinese language has become the "highest thing" that the chiefs flock to. In order to reflect their own class, indigenous people and slaves were even strictly prohibited from learning Chinese characters and learning Chinese characters. The sound of reading aloud in the schools in the port from time to time were the children of the chiefs and nobles.
Several years have passed, and the chiefs may not be able to write Chinese characters, but it is okay to speak some simple Chinese and communicate with the Han people. However, these words were obviously recited in advance...
So someone gave me a gift list.
Xi Junmai slightly raised his chin, and his personal soldiers took the gift list, but he didn't even look at it, saying disdain: "When did you natives learn these things? Tell me quickly, your tricks are not enough."
The chiefs were not embarrassed either. Someone stepped forward and said with a pity: "I heard that someone was confused and offended the heavenly soldiers, which made the Governor angry. He drove a ship to lead the troops to conquer the conquest. It is really touching! However, the Governor was in high positions and was in danger personally, which really made us worry. .”
Xi Jun took a look at him and said disrespectfully: "The Governor is responsible for military and political affairs on Luzon Island. He is not an ordinary person who can interfere with it and is not aware of the Governor's behavior. However, your concerns must be redundant. The Governor's title in the Tang Dynasty was a Duke of the Kingdom, and he was a meritorious in establishing a country. He participated in more than a hundred battles in his life, and even more than ten battles of more than ten people. In each battle, he charged forward and led the army and was brave enough to win the battle. He only used a ox knife to deal with some barbarians. "
The chiefs were shocked. The largest tribe was only a few thousand people. It was hard to imagine what the situation of a war between ten thousand people was. Even so, the governor had participated more than ten times... he was simply a god of war.
The power of the Tang Dynasty can be seen.
"We are very concerned when we hear that the heavenly soldiers have disappeared, and we have prepared a gift. We bothered the general to express our indigenous peoples' care for the heavenly soldiers, respect for the navy, and respect for the superior country."
Xi Junmai nodded slightly: "I thanked the robe for that robe! If that robe has been tragically injured, I will also hand over your feelings to his family, and let the entire Tang Dynasty know the love of the Luzon people for the Tang people."
The chiefs immediately smiled happily. This is their purpose today: to express obedience and show kindness to the Tang Dynasty. Don't attack us!
It was Zhang Liang's actions that scared them.
...
A group of chiefs got Xi Jun's tactful guarantee and left happily.
Although the person left, the taste was not taken away...
Xi Junmai covered his nose and ordered his personal soldiers to fetch water to wash the cabin inside and outside. The taste was too strong.
He was also very surprised that Luzon Island had dense rivers and abundant fresh water, but why did these indigenous people refuse to take a bath all year round?
Take off the armor, wiped the body with cold water, put on a clean and refreshing regular dress, sit in the ventilated cabin and brew a pot of tea, open the official document on the table, and a personal soldier came in to report that many students from Zhenguan Academy traveled overseas and arrived on Luzon Island with merchant ships. Two students came to visit...
"Come to visit?"
Xi Junmai didn't feel that he had a high reputation in the Tang Dynasty, and he was confused in his heart. However, since the students from Zhenguan Academy visited, they had to meet him no matter what, and he would remind the troops to take care of him and make it as convenient as possible.
After a while, two young men entered the cabin and bowed to him: "Student Di Renjie, Xue Yuanchao, have you seen General Xi!"
Looking at the two heroic young men in front of him, Xi Junmai didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "So they are two brothers! I admire you for a long time, I admire you for a long time!"
He really admired you for a long time.
More than once, Fang Jun talked about the many children in the academy and said that they would be the best in the future. Even Cen Changqian, Ouyang Tong, Xin Maojiang and others who are in the limelight and famous all over the world are all behind. Xue Yuanchao is regarded by Fang Jun as being on the same list as Cen, Xin, Ouyang and others, and may become the priest in the future.
In other words, the court in the next fifty years may be the world of these people.
Xi Junmai took the two of them to sit down, held the pot and poured tea himself. The two were flattered and thanked them repeatedly.
"The storm is dangerous on the sea. Even the strongest warships are like duckweed in front of the storm. The foreign lands overseas are full of smoke and blood. Both are outstanding students of the academy and have always been cared for by the commander. How can they float on the sea rashly regardless of their safety?"
Even though the sea trade is booming and the navy traversed the ocean, overseas is more wild places. It is normal to eat raw and blood on many islands, and they can't even slash-and-burn farming. They can only rely on abundant animal and plant resources to survive. The medicine is even scarce, and the living conditions are extremely bad.
There is always a worry about life, but it is not as simple as traveling around.
Die Renjie smiled and said, "Before leaving, I went to visit the Taiwei. The Taiwei said, "read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." This is also the purpose of our academy students traveling around the world. It is not to travel around the mountains and rivers, nor is it to enjoy the peace and enjoyment. Instead, it is to endure the sufferings of the journey, see the hardships of the world, and put their minds down and put them into the people to prepare for their future careers."
Xue Yuanchao is several years older than Di Renjie, but this Xue family from Hedong looked like they were born as a baby, standing in the same place as Di Renjie, and it seemed that they were the same age as Di Renjie. "The Taiwei said that we came from a family, and we were fed and fed well since we were young. It was difficult for us to truly understand the sufferings of the world based on hearsays and books. In the future, we can only be 'metaphysical' and talk about ambitions and hegemony, but we may not be able to truly do practical things for the people."
"Fang Du" is also a child of aristocratic families, but in that era the world was in chaos and thieves and bandits emerged. They were used to the cruelty of the chaotic times and the miserable lives, and were determined to save the people and make achievements. Therefore, after taking power, they did not forget their original aspirations.

But these "second generations" are different. They have lived in a prosperous and stable environment since childhood, wearing rich and feasting, and enjoying peace and enjoying themselves. How can they understand the tragic and coldness of "white bones exposed in the wild and no rooster crowing thousands of miles away"?
After becoming an official in the future, he will probably only make achievements and talk about it on paper, and have no understanding of the hardships of the life of the lower-class people.
Xi Junmai sighed: "How many people in the court are as concerned about the common people and benefit the people like the generals? You are the general who values his descendants, and has high hopes and vigorously cultivate them. You must not forget your original aspirations and be determined to be a good official for the country and the people in the future."
The two bowed each other and said respectfully, "I will live up to the cultivation of the Grand Marshal!"
Some greetings, Xi Junmai asked, "Do you two want to walk on Luzon Island? I will send someone to guide you and protect you. The natives seem to be obedient, but they are actually rebellious. These savages dare to do anything, and they cannot be careless."
"We are just thinking!"
Die Renjie thanked first and asked curiously, "We heard that the Governor of Luzon personally drove a ship to war on the pier. The reason was that a soldier was kidnapped and extorted by the natives. I wonder if it was true?"
Xi Junmai looked at the two seemingly curious but actually excited little faces in front of him, and felt a little embarrassed. How could he come to visit him? It's obvious that I want to join in the fun.
But after thinking about it, I still explained the whole story in detail.
At the end, he reminded: "It's enough to know these things well, don't talk about them everywhere."
The two of them agreed in unison: "Don't worry, General, I know!"
None of them are stupid people who "study hard". Of course, they understand that war is not as simple as a few lines of words on history books. The so-called "soldiers never get tired of deceitfulness". Although Zhang Liang's methods look a bit disgraceful, the "witch clan" is also very innocent, but war has always been to live to the death, let alone treat foreign tribes?
But some things are unspeakable, and once they are spread, the impact will be bad...
Then, Di Renjie's eyes rolled and asked again: "Duke Yun only had 500 personal soldiers and dozens of merchant ships, but he dared to challenge his clan. With the general's opinion, what is the chance of victory?"
Xi Junmai subconsciously said: "Duke Yun also fought in all directions back then, and was highly valued by Emperor Taizong. He attacked the barbarian natives on the island with 500 well-equipped soldiers. There was no chance of failure."
After speaking, he saw the two of them with bright eyes and tight eyes. He stared at him with a stern heart and warned: "Don't think about joining in the fun. It's a battle that will win. After all, it's a battle. You are the pride of heaven. How can I explain to the general if an accident occurs? Stay honestly on the island, and I have someone take you to appreciate the customs and culture, but don't take risks."
These are all the most outstanding students in the academy, and they are highly expected by the general. If something goes wrong with him, what can that happen? Xue Yuanchao smiled and said, "The general underestimated me, right? Although I have been studying in the academy, I also have physical exercise and archery skills. I am even more skillful in manipulating firearms. I am definitely not useless people who have no power to tie up. Besides, I only watch from afar, never come close to participate, and I hope the general will be able to be able to be harmonious."
