Chapter 222 finally returns to Lingnan "Of course, this palace is not entertaining you, where is this leisure in this palace?
The reason why I say Nanyang is because your mission is indeed in Nanyang.
Li Zhen did not continue to sell Guanzi, but said: "You have seen the map of Nanyang, you should remember that at the end of the Nanyang Peninsula, there is a strait between Sriwijaya Island (Sumatra Island), right?"
” "Of course my subordinates remember."
Pei Xingjian finally understood what Li Zhen meant, and said excitedly: "Your subordinates clearly remember, Your Highness, you once said that the strait is called the Gorofusa Strait, also called the Strait of Malacca, which is the main transportation route between the east and the west, and it is also the fastest shortcut from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean.
As long as it is held here, no matter how strong the Western fleet is, it will still not be able to enter the hinterland of Datang, let alone enter the South Seas, it can be said that as long as the safety here is ensured, then the South Seas of Datang will not be lost. ” "Yes, you remember it very well."
Li Zhen nodded approvingly: "With the opening of the Age of Discovery, the wealth of the South Seas is destined to attract countries outside the Tang Dynasty to explore the sea.
In order to prevent them from competing with the Tang Dynasty for profit, this palace has appointed you as the governor of Sriwijaya, in charge of all the islands and sea areas south of Langyaxiu to Sriwijaya Island, and absolutely no foreign merchant ships are allowed to pass through here......
It can be said that this is the gateway of Datang, as long as you build here, you will have immeasurable merit. ” "Yes, the subordinates are determined to live up to their mission and build the Three Buddhas into the first major traffic artery in the Tang Dynasty."
Pei Xingjian is overjoyed, although Li Zhen's division of the territory is not played, but this is a traffic artery, making money is too simple, and it is close to the Tang Dynasty, and part of it borders the Nanyang Peninsula, whether it is population migration or material transportation, it is also very convenient, in terms of conditions, it is much better than the Spice Islands and Borneo.
"Very good, but we can't go to Malacca this time, you go back to Lingnan with the palace first, and the palace will naturally arrange someone to send you over at that time."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
Pei Xingjian finally breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was not that His Royal Highness did not arrange himself, but that Malacca was not on the route back to Lingnan, so he couldn't send himself over directly.
With Li Zhen's promise, Pei Xingjian finally took a reassuring pill, no longer suffered from gains and losses, and when he returned to Lingnan, he could also explain to his peers.
"Okay, since there's nothing to do, then you can go down."
After finishing business, Li Zhen began to drive people away.
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
"Really."
Shaking her head, Li Zhen no longer paid attention to this matter, and continued to appreciate her treasures.
Time flies quickly, and the speed of Li Zhen's fleet is not slow, since that day gave Pei Xingjian a reassurance, the days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Li Zhen was lying on the deck basking in the sun, and Li Ergou suddenly came over to report: "Your Highness, we have seen the coastline, we will be able to go ashore soon, and we will be able to return to Lingnan soon." ” "What?
So fast?
Li Zhen jumped up suddenly, feeling a little reluctant in her heart.
It's strange to say, others have been drifting on the sea for so long, they have long been tired of it, and they wish they could find a place to rest and rest, such as Pei Xingjian, who is now lying weakly in the cabin and standing up, without him, just boring, there is nothing to do every day, what else can he do except sleep?
How boring can life be on a ship?
Bored to the point that there is a mouse-catching contest in the fleet, and whoever catches more mice is the champion, and the winner's reward is nothing more than a pot of wine.
But it's such a disgusting and boring game, it actually won the support of almost everyone, almost everyone participated, and it was this activity, without the help of cats, that the rats on the ship not only did not reproduce, but under the capture of the crew, there was a tendency to extinction, which shows how boring they are.
But Li Zhen is just the opposite, not only does he not feel bored in the days on the ship, there are endless scenery to see every day, there are endless activities to do every day, but he is more and more interested, at this time he heard that he was going ashore, and he actually had a feeling of reluctance - life at sea is so fun, but unfortunately the next time he goes to sea he doesn't know when it will be.
Li Zhen can imagine that when he goes ashore, he will not be greeted by flowers and streamers, but by his subordinates who pounce on him like wolves and tigers, and hold his thighs and never let go.
After leaving Lingnan for so long this time, they will absolutely never let themselves go to sea again, and they will not even let themselves go alone.
It is conceivable that in the future, when you travel by yourself, the accompanying team will be at least 1,000 people, and there will be no more freedom, and the next time you go to sea, I am afraid that it will be even more distant......
This was Li Zhen's idea, but he still underestimated the seriousness of the matter, because of his willful actions, the whole Datang was in a mess, and a certain super predator had already arrived in Lingnan......
In short, Li Zhen is going to be unlucky......
And it's still a big mold......
"Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back......"
Entering the port of Yuezhou, before the ship docked, he heard a commotion on the wharf, and then Li Zhen saw a group of stubborn armor soldiers pouring out from an unknown corner, and soon came to the wharf where the fleet was about to dock.
"What's going on?"
Li Zhen was dumbfounded, just in the blink of an eye, there were more than 3,000 people on the dock, and looking at the armor style and equipment configuration, they were all the most elite Modao team in Datang, but shouldn't the Modao team be on the battlefield in Tianzhu?
Could it be that Liu Hongji knew about himself and sent a Mo Dao team to prepare to search for him?
It's too big, isn't it?
But this is also good news, since Liu Hongji sent the Modao team, it means that the situation on the battlefield of Tianzhu has stabilized, and the victory of Datang is irreversible, otherwise Li Zhen really can't find any reason for Liu Hongji to send the trump card in his hand.
But is it really that simple?
Of course it is impossible.
As soon as Li Zhen came ashore, she saw an acquaintance.
An acquaintance who could not have appeared here at this time anyway.

"Master, why are you here?"
Before the boat was stable, Li Zhen hurriedly jumped down, and quickly stepped forward to hug the old man in front of him: "Didn't Doctor Sun say it?"
Although your body has recovered, the loss of qi and blood is too severe, you can't see the wind, you can't travel hard, and you need to rest well......
Why did you come to Lingnan?
Shiratori, Shiratori, give my master a proper check-up. ” "Zhen'er don't worry, I know the body of the teacher, after so many years of resting, the lost body has long been made up, and there is nothing to do for a long time." was cared for by Li Zhen for a while, Qin Qiong suddenly felt relieved - this apprentice has no white sect.
