A wave came, and the cabin shook again and again, Zuo Zongtang was dizzy again, and he couldn't sit still, so he covered his mouth with his sleeve, "Oh, how can this wind and waves be so big!" ”

"Although the typhoon has just passed, it is also the time when there are more storms in the south, compared with the Beiyang, it is a lot of bumps, so I simply came all the way, the soldiers exercised a lot, and what the commander said was true, but it was still necessary to come out of the actual battle to let the soldiers learn.

Zuo Zongtang stood up weakly, "That's the reason, I can't stand it, old man, so I'll go back and lie down first, Xueqin, you arrange it yourself, I'll sleep first, and then wake me up when I get to Sulu." ”

"Dashuai, don't you want to go to Luzon?"

"Cross in front of the Spaniards in Luzon!" Zuo Zongtang waved his hand and said domineeringly, "You don't need to go to Luzon Island, but we also want the Spaniards to see our momentum!" The Holy Decree has given me full power, so as long as we don't go to war with the Spaniards, what can't we do? Just let the center wait and watch the show! ”

Between the blue waves, there are faintly blue and blue islands dotted around, the Sulu Islands, which were originally frequent by merchant ships, are now nowhere to be seen, above the sea, in the harbor, there is a dead silence, but on the island, it is very lively, from time to time there are bursts of black smoke, and there are shouts, cries, and proud laughter.

This is the largest island in Sulu, Hele Island, the three kings of the East and other kings, through marriage, annexation, conquest and a series of events, the three kings of Sulu have now become a king, this king is just in his early forties, is a man, especially the ruler should be the most energetic time, but now in the palace at the top of the garden sitting on the throne with a sad face sighing, a look of grievance.

"Oh no!" A man who looked like the leader of the guards in tattered clothes ran in, "Sultan, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?" King Sulu asked lazily.

"Those people began to rob the shops and homes of the Chinese again, and as soon as the Chinese resisted, they took out knives to kill, and the Chinese have already killed many people!"

King Sulu's eyes showed an angry light, "These people, thinking that there are Spaniards behind them, now I don't listen to the words of the sultan, I have said it repeatedly, the Celestial Empire is Sulu's backer, and it is not allowed to be rude to the Chinese, if the Chinese are gone, who will transport the goods to us, Sulu is not as rich as it is now!" He slapped the armrest, "Pass my order and let the guards go out to maintain order!" ”

The leader of the guards said yes in his mouth, but his feet did not move, and the king of Sulu saw the embarrassed appearance of the head of the guards, and he also came to his senses, "Hey, forget it." The king's face was pale and disheartened, "The current country of Sulu, I don't count anywhere, only a few old antiques still listen to my orders, those people have been pulled away by Spain, these Spaniards are making waves in Sulu, monopolizing all our pearls and other specialties in Sulu, but I have no choice but to be a king here behind closed doors, what kind of king am I!" You follow me, and I don't have any money to give you, so you should disperse. When these foreign devils' warships sail over to invade and occupy Sulu, I will kill myself and it will be over, and I must not be sorry for my ancestors and ancestors. ”

"Sultan! Please don't do this," the head of the guard knelt down, "please don't do this, there are still so many old ministers who are willing to follow you Sultan, although the people in the country are blinded by Spain, but one day they will wake up." ”

"They won't wake up," King Sulu shook his head, "Allah said, once violence and lust are released, they will not be easily locked up, the Spaniards instigated them to rob the shops of the Chinese, which is faster than any way to get money, and I can't give them so much money, so they will not turn back, they will only follow behind Spain, continue to burn and loot, and those who rob the Chinese now, will be red-eyed in the future and continue to rob their own country, and in the future," King Sulu smiled bitterly, "The Spaniards will justifiably drive the warship over." and abdicated me on charges of ineffective governance. Although I can see it clearly, I don't have the slightest solution, because I don't have power, I don't have an army, I don't have a warship, and the biggest problem is that I don't have a backer now! ”

"Please rest assured, hasn't the Sultan already sent someone to the Celestial Empire to ask for help? I believe that the Celestial Empire will definitely come to our aid in Sulu! ”

"Will it? I don't quite believe it, you first ask people to invite all the Chinese into the palace, here at least they dare not come in and rob. The head of the guard went out to convey the order, and walked back, the Sultan of Sulu had already stood up, leaning against the window and looking at the black smoke outside the window, "The Celestial Empire has ignored us for a long time, when the previous Emperor of the Celestial Empire first ascended the throne, I wanted to go to pay tribute, but I was stopped by Spain, and the Celestial Empire didn't care about this anymore, and it must have given up on us."
