Of course, Li Yin is happy with Murong Shun's move. Li Yin has always wanted a pasture to raise all kinds of livestock he brought from modern times. Murong Shun's surrender provided Li Yin with such a place, so, Li Yin then moved the farm to the grassland. Of course, Li Yin did not let them suffer. After handing over the cows to them for raising, he also spent money to buy milk. Breeds like Er goats are also very popular among the herdsmen in Tuyuhun. For this reason, Li Min also set up a livestock trading market in Songzhou to exchange cattle and sheep with the herdsmen.
"That's what I want to say." Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, "The reason why we got rid of the Mo someman so easily is because the Momoman is basically infantry, but if we are facing fast cavalry on the grassland The loss would be huge."
Li Yin patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said: "I have already thought of this, so Tuyuhun will send 40,000 cavalry to help you."
"Yes." Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Your Highness, is this Murong Shun credible? If they take the opportunity...", Xue Gui hesitated.
"You don't have to worry about this. Murong Shun doesn't have the guts and no reason to do so, so just go." Li Yin said.
"Yes." Xue Rengui replied, this trip was a hard job, a great leap forward, but thinking of the errands of Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi, he felt lucky, at least he was still staying on land, and those two guys were floating on the sea , much more uncomfortable than him.
Just as Xue Rengui thought, on the expedition fleet at this time, Qin Huaiyu was vomiting, and Zhu Youzhi was also pale. They had just experienced a storm, and the huge waves shook the ship very violently. It was a mess of vomiting.
"General Qin, are you okay?" Li Hui looked at Li Yin with some concern. To Li Hui's surprise, as long as he experienced this storm without any abnormality, he was slightly proud. In his opinion, he was really suitable for Haiyang.
Qin Huaiyu lay on the side of the boat and retched again, saying: "It's okay, it's a **** storm, I just hope we don't see it again."
"Your Highness said that the sea is full of dangers. It is true. I thought it was a good job. Now it seems that we are really wrong." Zhu Youzhi searched the sea with a telescope. His first stop was Manila in the Philippines on the map. Although Li Yin gave them specific standards on the map, it was very difficult to actually find them. After all, looking at the map is one thing, but looking for it on the ground is another.
Qin Huaiyu wiped his mouth, hooked shoulders with Li Hui, and floated on the sea for a month. Their life was simple, and it can be said to be monotonous. They just got together to play cards every day. Drinking, there are only a few hundred people on a boat, and they quickly got to know each other, "What's the use of talking about this. I don't know how His Highness went to sea for four months."
"How can your Highness be understood by ordinary people." Zhu Youzhi said, Li Yin is a mysterious figure in the hearts of all of them, and there is deep awe in their hearts, because. You don't know what he will conjure up the next moment.
Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu chatted without saying a word, but Li Hui's eyes continued to search the sea, when a small black dot entered his eyes. He pointed to the sea to the south and shouted, "What is that?"
Picking up the binoculars, Zhu Youzhi looked in the direction Li Hui was pointing at. It turned out that it was a small fishing boat, and there were three dark-skinned, short people on the fishing boat who were rowing, "Kunlun slave?" Zhu Youzhi Can't help but speak out.
"Kunlun slave!" Qin Huaiyu and Li Hui also looked at each other, and sure enough, as Zhu Youzhi said, there was indeed a small fishing boat rowing south not far away.
"Your Highness said that this kind of nig is living in the land of the Philippines. Who is Nig?" Qin Huaiyu waited for a long time but didn't come out.
Before they could speak, the flagship of the fleet changed its course and followed the boats of those short black men. If these natives led the way, it would be easier for them to gain a foothold in this place. After all, this group of people has no concept of land yet. , There is absolutely no problem for them to occupy a place.
"Sun Dongxu is faster than us!" Qin Huaiyu said.
"It's different for him to have a pirate as a guide. Besides, he has been at sea for more than a year longer than us, so he has much more experience than us." Zhu Youzhi said, "So take advantage of this time to learn a lot, When we act alone in the future, we can no longer count on them."
On the flagship, Sun Dongxu was full of ambitions. Although the latter two had much higher military ranks than him, they were definitely rookies in navigation, which made him secretly happy. "Wang Shijie, can you communicate with them?"
"Yes, I've been in this area for more than ten years. They don't speak the plenum, and it's probably okay." Wang Shijie has become more and more proud in the navy since he took over the identity of a pirate. So he was reused by Sun Dongxu, and his little life was more nourishing than before.
"That's good. Your Highness said that this island contains a lot of gold reserves and more copper mines. We want to mine all the mines here!" Sun Dongxu said with a smile, gold! Who does not like.
Although the Philippines is an island country, it is extremely rich in mineral resources. Among them, the reserves of gold rank third in the world, reaching 136 million tons, and the reserves of brass reach 4.6 billion tons, not including nickel. , Aluminum and other minerals can be said to be a treasure land. For Li Yin, of course all these things were dug away.
Of course, Li Yin did not expect Sun Dongxu to dig out these minerals at all. He planned to let Li Ran mine these minerals in the future. After all, mining such things as minerals is definitely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Ports and overseas minerals are all handed over to Li Ran.
"However, our task is to build the Manila Harbor." Sun Dongxu continued, which was also explained by Li Yin.
Whether it was the battle against barbarians on land or the exploration of colonies at sea, Li Yin's steps were carried out steadily, and the victory in the southern front also allowed Li Yin to get rid of his last worry. It can be said that the border troubles in Yizhou were finally resolved All solved.
When Xue Rengui led his troops northward, Li Yin returned to Yizhou, and Xue Rengui could do the rest, and he didn't have to continue to participate.
After a month, the paper could not keep the fire. The news of the Southern Barbarian invasion was still spreading in Yizhou. Therefore, as soon as he returned to Yizhou, he asked the Shengtang Business Daily to publish the news of the great victory on the southern line in the newspaper. At the same time, the information was passed on to Chang'an, so that Wang Zheng could also publish it.
"Brother Six is amazing. First he defeated Tuyuhun, then Tubo, and this one is a bit more brutal. Hey, it would be great if I could watch the battle on the spot." The prince gathered around and asked questions, Cui Yingying blamed Li Yin for a while, complaining that Li Yin kept such a big matter from him.
Li Yuan nodded slightly when he heard the words, and looked at Li Yin with even more admiration, "Liulang, what do you mean, Jieli in the north and Mo Ximan in the south are planning to attack Tang from the north and the south?"
"That's right, now that Moximan has been defeated, only the northern affairs have not been heard, and it may not be easy for the Tang Dynasty to fight Xue Yantuo and the Turks at the same time." Li Yin said with a frown.
Li Yuandao: "Turk is indeed not to be underestimated. Back then, the North surrendered to him to obtain peace. It is precisely because of this that your father is so afraid of Jieli, because he has experienced that kind of humiliation."
"Well, I understand, I have sent troops north to support, I hope this time the grassland problem can be completely resolved." Li Yin said this, but he just got the information, and the battle situation in the north seems very pessimistic at this time. (To be continued..)
