The lights in the hall are bright, the king of Luzon and the ministers warmly entertained Chen Jisheng, after a polite exchange with each other, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, there are talking and laughing, and the whole hall is filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

The king of Luzon was very happy in his heart, and according to the current situation, it seemed that there was no suspense about what was going to be discussed next! After thinking deeply, the king of Luzon showed a sincere smile on his face: "Marshal, the Dongjiang army will come to Manila early tomorrow morning and be stationed, and Luzon will welcome you at any time." If there is any need, the marshal can also put it forward to the king, as long as he can, the king will definitely not shirk. ”

Chen Jisheng hugged his fists and smiled: "With the king's words, Ben Shuai has no worries. Please also ask the king to be relieved, as long as there is no accident when the army is stationed, the commander will never act at will. ”

Everyone else was courteous, and Chen Jisheng could no longer be aggressive, so he made a promise on the spot to make the king of Luzon feel relieved.

The strength of the Dongjiang Army far exceeded the imagination of the King of Luzon and others, and after witnessing the strength of the Dongjiang Army, the King of Luzon and his ministers were even more reluctant to go to war with the Dongjiang Army. Because if you know that you are invincible, you have to touch it hard, it can only be a problem with your braincase! After receiving Chen Jisheng's affirmative reply, the king of Luzon and his ministers were relieved.

After clinking glasses with Chen Jisheng, the king of Luzon continued with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, the matter of the garrison tomorrow will be handled by Li Aiqing." The marshal could talk to him if he needed anything, and the king would allow him to make any decisions. ”

Li Nan immediately got up to receive the order, the matter was negotiated, and it was late at night. Chen Jisheng came all the way, and the king of Luzon did not dare to delay any longer, so he dispersed the banquet and asked Li Nan to arrange for Chen Jisheng to live in the palace.

Early the next morning, Chen Jisheng rushed back to the port with Li Nan with hazy sleepy eyes. After Chen Jisheng and Chen Qiyue explained what they had discussed with the King of Luzon last night, the Dongjiang Army began to land.

Of the 70,000 troops, only 10,000 remained on the ships, and the remaining 60,000 soldiers and horses all went ashore. Chen Jisheng personally led the army to the capital of Manila, and after a busy time, another day passed.

In the evening, when everyone was having dinner, Li Nan found Chen Jisheng, came to his side with a smile and said: "Marshal, everything is going well with the army stationed, and the lower officials will go back to the king now, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Chen Jisheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, you can reply now." By the way, inform the king that Ben Shuai is going to visit at night and discuss something! ”

Li Nan was originally happy, but suddenly heard that Chen Jisheng said that he was going to meet the king, and said that there was something important to discuss? Now he is in a hurry, you must know that the king of Luzon has spoken first, Chen Jisheng can talk to him if he has any problems, and the king of Luzon has also delegated power, so that Li Nan can completely call the shots.

But now Chen Jisheng still wants to bypass him to meet the king of Luzon directly, which makes Li Nan immediately feel worried. After hesitating for a while, Li Nan never dared to ask.

Chen Jisheng saw Li Nan's hesitant look on his face, and he stopped talking, thought deeply for a while, and immediately understood. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder and explained: "Lord Li doesn't have to worry too much, in fact, the matter discussed with the king is related to you." ”

"It's related to me......" Li Nan was even more confused and nervous.

"It's a matter of sending students to study in the Ming Dynasty, before this commander had already passed the anger with the chief soldier, and the chief soldier agreed to this matter." Chen Jisheng chuckled and explained the reason.

"I see!" Li Nan was suddenly relieved.

After that, Li Nan left happily, and Chen Jisheng continued to eat his own food with peace of mind.

Chen Jisheng finished eating, washed up and changed into formal clothes, and then waited for Li Nan's arrival peacefully. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Nan to come to meet Chen Jisheng with a smile on his face. The two sat in a sedan chair and walked around the palace for a while before they came to a quiet courtyard in the palace.

The two-storey cabin and quiet courtyard are a good place to cultivate the mind. The sedan chair stopped in front of the door of the small wooden building, and after Chen Jisheng and Li Nan got off the sedan chair, there were attendants who came to greet them.

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, the two walked into the house, only to see that the king of Luzon was already greeting him with a smile on his face at this moment.

The three of them sat down in the small hall one after another, and the king of Luzon waved away all the attendants, picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Dashuai is quite busy today, fortunately, everything is going well when the army is stationed, come, do this glass, I wish Luzon and Daming prosperity in the future!" ”

Chen Jisheng didn't say a word, he directly picked up the wine glass and raised his head to drink it dry, and then said with a sigh of wine: "King, you must already know the purpose of Ben Shuai's coming tonight. Let's be happy, don't beat around the bush, how do you think about the noble children of your country being sent to study in the Ming Dynasty? ”

The King of Luzon was still full of smiles, and after glancing at Li Nan, he smiled and said: "Dashuai, this matter is not what the king wants, where do you need to think about it." The marshal may not know, in fact, in addition to being harassed by pirates all the year round, we Luzon itself is also plagued by many troubles, which has caused us Luzon to be unable to settle down. ”

"Oh, what trouble is there in Luzon that makes the king so distressed?" Chen Jisheng asked in surprise.

"Luzon is also surrounded by many small islands, and these small islands are full of Turks, who are not strong but numerous. We have been subjected to pirates for many years, and we are not free to clean them up. Therefore, for many years, I can only be constantly harassed by them. The king of Luzon said in distress.

Chen Jisheng frowned after hearing this, and said, "Does the king mean that he wants our Dongjiang Army to take action and help settle this trouble?" ”

The king of Luzon said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, the commander of the Dongjiang Army has arrived, and those pirates who have been harassing us naturally dare not approach again." We will also be able to free up our hands to deal with these Tu tribes, the king's intention, is that the children of the nobles go to the Ming Dynasty to study, which is what we urgently need and cannot ask for. ”

Chen Jisheng suddenly smiled and said: "In this way, the king has no opinion at all. That's good, that's good, hahaha......"

After a burst of laughter, Chen Jisheng continued: "The general soldier has already promised that if the children of the nobles of your country go to study in the Ming Dynasty, they will open some classes for you in Weihaiwei Academy. ”

The king of Luzon and Li Nan were overjoyed when they heard this, and the latter even asked: "What the marshal said is true?" ”

Chen Jisheng smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, patting his chest to promise that he couldn't fake it.

After a conversation, Chen Jisheng returned to his residence and wrote to Mao Wenlong again. Seeing that the matter had been negotiated, he went to the port non-stop to meet Chen Qiyu and discuss with him how the two families would work together to earn the money of these noble children.
