On June 15, Lu Yun came with good news, the first Galen ship of Liuqiu Shipyard was completed, and the sea trial was successful, Li Hao was happy, and soon, the newly built Galen ship appeared in Pearl Harbor, the huge hull was obviously several circles larger than the other ships around, mighty and domineering. Fastest updates

Although this Galen ship is only a small Galen ship, it is bound to be eliminated in the future, but after all, it is the first one, which is of epoch-making significance, Li Hao personally named the ship "Starting Point", yes, this ship will be a starting point for Li Hao to set off the Age of Discovery.

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

As soon as he thought that he would set off the Age of Discovery, Li Hao was excited, although there were many construction data and drawings of the Galen ship, but he decided to transcribe it alone, for a whole month, Li Hao spent most of his time in the study, and on July 15, Li Hao finally completed the transcription.

Li Hao's three wives also finished their confinement, and next, Li Hao's itinerary also began.

On July 17, Li Hao's fleet left Pearl Port, and there was one more ship in the fleet, yes, it was the Galen ship "Starting Point", Li Hao also took away three important craftsmen who participated in the construction of the starting point, one of which was Lu Zhi's nephew Lu Song, Lu Song is Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today, following Lu Zhi for so many years, the craft has already been passed on by Lu Zhi, Li Hao plans to build a team of craftsmen after going to Qiongnan, let Lu Song lead, he can imagine that he has been busy after arriving in Qiongnan.

The sea in the summer is stormy, Li Hao and they encountered a sea breeze, fortunately they sailed close to the coastal area, the boat also followed Pei Miao, a meteorological expert, predicted in advance that there would be wind and rain, Li Hao They chose to dock, because it was a temporary dock, the coast is a wilderness, only some fishing villages, inquired and learned that this belongs to Guangzhou Fuzhi, the nearest from here is Guangzhou and Xunzhou, Guangzhou is in the northwest direction, Xunzhou is in the northeast direction, Li Hao checked the map, He personally led people to ride horses along the coast to check the terrain, draw a map, and was busy for four or five days, roughly drawing the coastal terrain, Li Hao found that the area where they are located should be the western section of Lantau Mountain, so that 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 desolation, although these fishermen are the people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but because they live on the island, the transportation is inconvenient, and the way of life is extremely backward.

Li Hao secretly decided that after he settled down in Qiongnan, he must open two ports here, one on Hong Kong Island and one on Lantau Island, so that this place can prosper, because this location is an excellent port location, and why Hong Kong is called a port is determined by its special geographical location.

After resting here for so many days, and 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.

At present, there are only three states in Qiongnan, and the span of the three states is quite wide, namely Yazhou in the north of the island, Dan (Dan) in the southwest, and Zhenzhou in the southwest of the island.

The reason why these three states are separated is that when they were first built, they planned to use the three regions as a base, spread to the center of the island, and then wrap up the whole island.

However, according to Li Hao, this idea seems to have been stillborn, because there are many mountains in the South Peninsula, and there is a large area of tropical rainforest cover, and there are many indigenous people living in it, they are very resistant to the Tang people, although after so many years of efforts, many indigenous people have gradually begun to accept the Tang people, and trade and interact with the Tang people, but there are still a large number of indigenous people who do not like the Tang people.

Li Hao arrived this time, naturally to 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 ship to sail into the Qiongzhou Strait, soon after entering the strait, I saw that there was a port on the shore in the south, Li Hao and their fleet sailed to the port, only to see that this port is very small, and the building is simple, you can see a city to the east through the telescope, Li Hao picked up the map and looked at it for a while, muttering to himself: "The east must be Yancheng, this port should be Haikou Port, The mountain behind the harbor seems to be Qiongshan. ”

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

After entering the port, Li Hao's ship began to raise his banner of the king of Qiongnan County, and the guards and people on the shore exclaimed that the owner of the fleet claimed to be the king of Qiongnan, they had never heard of it, the king of Qiongnan, isn't that the biggest person in Qiongnan.

There is a river from Haikou Port that can go directly to the South Peninsula of Qiongnan, which is called Shecheng Water, and the reason why Shecheng Water is called Shecheng Water is because it passes through Shecheng, and the governance of Yazhou is in Shecheng.

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

I saw Li Hao and their men coming down from the boat one after another, playing Li Hao's car and honor guard, and the lynx stayed on the ship with special forces and hundreds of guards to guard, because the ship was still full of supplies, it must be guarded well, and no mistakes can be made, and only when Li Hao settles down can the materials and money be moved off the ship.

As soon as Li Hao's guard of honor came out, the people around the harbor were so frightened that they retreated, King Qiongnan, can they not be afraid, it sounds very scary.

There were more than thirty soldiers guarding the harbor here, and seeing Li Hao playing such a big guard of honor, they all gathered together and stared nervously at Li Hao and their team.

Li Hao naturally discovered them and sent Li Guocheng over to question them, Li Guocheng walked up to the group of guards and asked loudly: "Who of you has the highest position here?" ”

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and said, "I'm Team Leader, Wang Chuan." ”

"Team Wang." Li Guocheng arched his hand and said, "I am Li Guocheng, the personal guard under the command of Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, and I came to ask the king of Qiongnan to ask if Cui Wenxian, the governor of Yazhou, can I be in Shecheng?" ”

The name of the governor of Yazhou is Cui Peng, the word is first, he was the governor of Yangzhou many years ago, and he was exiled to Yazhou because of the poor management of Yangzhou floods in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and has not been recovered.

Li Hao had inquired about this Cui Peng before he came, how to evaluate this person, and use a good person to evaluate it. Why do you want to use "good person" to evaluate him, first of all, this Cui Peng is indeed a good person, he is not corrupt and perverts the law, nor does he deceive his superiors and subordinates, let alone corruption and bribery, he is an honest and honest official, and he is a clean official.

But he is just a good person, why, because he is a scholar, and if he reads a lot, he is a bit derailed from the actual society, and his brain is dead, and he is rigid and inflexible in doing things, and some small things are naturally not a problem, but when it comes to big things, he is easy to make mistakes, and sending him to deal with floods is naturally not curable, so he deserves to be degraded.

Cui Peng basically belongs to the kind of incompetent minister Li Hao said, he was not an official in the first place, he was able to become the governor of Yangzhou at the beginning, which shows how many points his status as a good person has added to him.

Wang Chuan didn't dare to ask more questions about Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, so he could only answer truthfully: "Cui Dudu is in the city." ”

"Thank you." Li Guocheng said, "I also want to trouble the Wang team to send someone to Shecheng to inform Cui Dudu, Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, and General Xue Rengui, the commander of Yazhou Zhichong, who trusts Yazhou, are coming, and they will set off with their families to Shecheng to visit Xue Dudu." ”

"Li Hao!" Wang Chuan exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, "Are you talking about the military god Li Hao?" ”

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

Wang Chuan said excitedly: "As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not hear of the new military god of the Tang Dynasty, General Li is my god general of the Tang Dynasty, even in this bitter place in Qiongnan, General Li's name is like thunder!" ”

Li Guocheng said with a smile on his face: "Thank you for the praise, but it's still important to get down to business, please trouble the Wang team to report to Cui Dudu as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" After Wang Chuan finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and said to a few soldiers behind him, "Second Tiger, Third Tiger, the two of you quickly go to Shecheng to inform Cui Dudu, just say that General Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, is coming, and General Xue Rengui, the new commander of Zhichong, has also arrived, and they will soon go to Shecheng to visit Cui Dudu." ”

"Yes!" The two soldiers immediately took the order to turn around and go to lead the horses to report the news.

Li Guocheng chatted with Wang Chuan for a few more words, and returned to Li Hao's side to reply: "Lord Wang, they have already sent someone to report." ”

"Hmm." Li Hao nodded, and asked with curiosity, "You just talked to that person over there for a long time, what are you talking about?" ”

Li Guocheng said with excitement on his face: "Lord Wang, you don't know, it turns out that your reputation has already spread to Qiongnan!" ”

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with a smile, "What reputation, the reputation of a bastard?" ”

"No, how can it be the reputation of a bastard." Li Guocheng said excitedly, "It's the prince, your reputation for being invincible, just now that team is Wang Chuan said, the people in their army call you the new god of war, and they also say that you are the god general of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Huh." Li Hao smiled indifferently, his eyebrows fluttering, "They are still very discerning." This sentence is very pretentious.

When Zhu Ruihuan heard this, he raised his right hand to block his face, leaned in front of Chen Song, and said in a low voice: "Alas, the boss's stinky and 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 on behind my back?" ”

Chen Song hurriedly pointed at Zhu Ruihuan, looking innocent, and said, "Zhu Ertease said that you are stinky and shameless." ”

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

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

Zhu Ruihuan hurriedly said: "You still snorted." ”

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

Zhu Ruihuan glared and shouted: "Standing still sleeping? Who are you fooling? ”

Chen Song said seriously: "I used to be a killer, and it was common to sleep standing up. ”

Li Hao nodded again and again when he heard this, and 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 suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could pull Chen Song into the water, otherwise it would be so unpleasant, who let him sell himself first.

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