Chapter 1258: Luzon

In the letter, Chen Jisheng explained everything one by one, and after Mao Wenlong read it, he was overjoyed! The experience of the Wa Kingdom made Mao Wenlong spend a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end it was still unsatisfactory. As a last resort, he could only ask the elderly Hong Chengchou to come out and personally sit in the Wa Kingdom, which could be regarded as the worry in Mao Wenlong's heart.

But even so, Mao Wenlong always felt that he had spent too much energy in the Japanese country, and the investment and harvest were already a little unbalanced. In general, according to the current situation of the Wa Kingdom, Mao Wenlong still feels that he has suffered a loss.

And what Chen Jisheng said in his letter is just the way to solve the problem of these subject countries really submitting to the Ming Dynasty. Mao Wenlong didn't expect Chen Jisheng, who has always been tendoned, to be unprecedentedly smart this time.

Force can only make Luzon temporarily subjugated, as long as the Ming Dynasty falls, these vassal states will definitely rebel against the Ming Dynasty after weighing their interests at the first time. This is human nature, and there is no way to curb it! However, the method proposed by Chen Jisheng happens to be the best way to assimilate different ethnic groups.

The children of the nobles of Luzon were all sent to the Ming Dynasty to study, which invisibly allowed the Ming Dynasty to seize the lifeblood of these nobles. And the assimilation of culture can also take place at the same time, so to speak, it is a one-and-done solution.

Mao Wenlong was in a good mood, and immediately returned to his study and wrote back to Chen Jisheng, informing him that he was allowed this method. As for the college, Mao Wenlong replied to Chen Jisheng, saying that he would go there in person and finish the matter of opening another class.

After the letter was written, Mao Wenlong immediately asked Adou to hand over the letter to the hot air balloon that sent the letter, and asked them to send it back to Chen Jisheng as soon as possible.

In the evening of the same day, the fleet had already replenished the necessary supplies, and Mao Wenlong also ordered to set sail immediately and rush to the capital of Guangzhou. The fleet whistled and departed!

When Chen Jisheng received Mao Wenlong's reply, they had just arrived in Luzon. After receiving Mao Wenlong's appreciation, Chen Jisheng was relieved. After arranging the docking of warships at the port, Chen Jisheng, at the invitation of the envoy Li Nan, set off for the capital of Luzon that night to meet the king of Luzon.

The largest port in Luzon is the naturally advantageous port of Manila, where the warships of the Dongjiang Army and Navy Division docked. Although the port was large, it still could not completely park hundreds of warships of the Dongjiang Army. The arrival of such a large group of warships really allowed the officials of Luzon to truly see the power of the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division.

At this time, even those who had been opposed to being unconditionally absorbed by the Dongjiang Army before were completely shut up. The arrival of a powerful and invincible fleet did indeed suppress all the officials of Luzon. No one dared to say anything more, which also made the arrival of the Dongjiang Army seem extraordinarily smooth and quiet.

The capital of Luzon is located near Manila Bay, and Manila is the capital of Luzon. Chen Jisheng, accompanied by Ambassador Li Nan, rode all the way in a carriage overnight.

The roads of Luzon are not like the Ming Dynasty today, which are all paved with cement. The potholed dirt road not only kicks up dust in the sky when the carriage walks, but also unusually bumpy.

Chen Jisheng sat on the thick cushion, but he was still uncomfortable. At this time, if he could, he would rather ride a horse himself than ride in this broken carriage. It's a pity that Li Nan is weak, and he is an old man who can't ride a horse at all, so in desperation, Chen Jisheng can only endure it as much as he can.

Fortunately, Li Nan is the one who has brought great benefits to Chen Jisheng, which is why Chen Jisheng is so face-saving. Otherwise, with his temper, he wouldn't have taken into account any etiquette at all, and he would talk about anything else when he was comfortable.

Li Nan saw that Chen Jisheng had been restless, and his face was full of impatience, and he was also quite worried in his heart, thinking that he had made Chen Jisheng angry because he was not thoughtful.

After hesitating for a while, Li Nan still asked: "Dashuai, why are you in a bad mood, is it that the lower officials have neglected you there?" ”

Looking at Li Nan, who was cautious about himself, Chen Jisheng suddenly smiled and said, "Master Li, don't worry too much, it's just that this damn carriage is too bumpy, and it's not very comfortable to sit on." ”

Li Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Why don't you let the groom hurry up." ”

Chen Jisheng shook his head and said, "No need. ”

Li Nan hesitated for a moment, but did not persuade again. After all, it's not far away, and you can get there if you hold on a little longer.

The carriage was still under the escort and galloped all the way to the city of Manila in front of it. At this moment, the carriage that was still speeding on the wasteland could already see the city of Manila faintly revealing lights in the distance.

The city of Manila is located on the plains, the city is not very large but it is also quite imposing, and in the night, it is like a lurking beast. The carriage soon arrived at the gates, which were opened before the carriage arrived, without any questioning or waiting for them to open. Obviously, the defenders of the city received the news early in the morning.

The horse-drawn carriage entered the city smoothly, and the speed slowed down, and Chen Jisheng looked out through the curtains, and there were no pedestrians except for the lanterns hanging in front of the shops on both sides of the street. In the silence of the street, except for the strange sound of the carriage galloping, there were only those patrolling guards who passed by from time to time.

The carriage stopped after a short time on the street, and the voice of the guards sounded outside: "My lord, we have arrived in the Imperial City. ”

The carriage was not allowed to enter the imperial city, Li Nan explained to Chen Jisheng, and then invited him to get off the carriage and transfer to the waiting sedan chair to enter the imperial city.

Outside the door of the main hall, the king of Luzon was waiting with more than ten ministers, and there was no need for such courtesy. It's just that the strength of the Dongjiang Army Naval Division is indeed beyond everyone's expectations, and it really scares them. In order not to have an accident and not to let Chen Jisheng have any excuse to be mad, the king of Luzon simply greeted Chen Jisheng's arrival with the highest courtesy.

As soon as he got off the sedan chair, Chen Jisheng saw a grand welcoming scene, which made Chen Jisheng quite useful in his heart. Many people are not to blame, and no one will dislike others for being too polite to themselves.

"Dashuai, I've finally waited for you." The king of Luzon actually spoke a fluent Ming language.

Chen Jisheng didn't know who the person in front of him was, but fortunately, Li Nan beside him was very knowledgeable, and he informed Chen Jisheng of the identity of the King of Luzon as soon as possible.

When the latter found out, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, laughing and said: "The king is so polite, it really makes Ben Shuai feel ashamed." ”

The king of Luzon immediately pretended to be unhappy: "Eh, this is inappropriate, you are now representing the Ming Dynasty, and it is normal to receive this courtesy." ”
