The day of going to sea finally came. In the afternoon, Fanning specially rested at home for a long time to accompany his family. He set off tomorrow morning and it would take at least two months to come back.

After lunch, Fan Ning held his son Fan Jing, who was just one and a half years old, and led his daughter Fan Zhen along the mountain road to the hill.

The hill is placing flat on the ground like a shell, with a very gentle slope. The wet nurse often brings Fan Zhener to play, and she is already very familiar with it.

They walked slowly up the mountain along a five-foot-wide boulevard. There was a pavilion above the top of the mountain, and there were dense forests on both sides. At this time, Zhen'er suddenly pointed to the woods and shouted in surprise: "Look at Daddy, A Fei and Xiaoxian!"

Two little deer appeared beside the woods and looked at them with anticipation. The two little sika deer were also brought from the capital, one male and one female. They had already known Zhen'er, so they walked up slowly. Zhen'er ran up and took out two wheat cakes from the cloth bag. While feeding them, she touched their heads. Fan Jing was anxious in her arms and struggled to touch the deer.

Fanning saw that Xiaolu and her daughter were very familiar with each other, and asked with a smile: "Zhen, do they know you?"

"Of course I know it!"

Zhen'er said seriously: "I come to feed them with my uncle every day. As soon as I call A Fei and Xiaoxian, they will come out."

"Your uncle is here too?" Fan Ning was even more surprised. He thought Zhu Zhe was staying in the house every day.

"Uncle likes them so much. He also knows the little squirrel. Look!"

Zhen'er pointed to the top of the mountain, and Fan Ning noticed that Zhu Zhe was sitting in the pavilion, with a few little squirrels jumping around him, and even jumping onto his head. He didn't realize it, bowed his head and carved his stones intently, while the wet nurse sat aside to sew clothes.

This harmonious scene made Fanning sigh in his heart, who said that autism lives in his own world, and they are also communicating, but they are not communicating with people, and they communicate with animals, so they can get along with each other like friends.

Fan Ning didn't want to disturb Zhu Zhe, so he smiled and said, "After feeding the deer, can we go riding a horse?"

Fan Jing jumped happily, "Dad, let's go ride a horse!"

Zhen'er looked at a group of little squirrels and said reluctantly: "Okay! Then go ride a horse."

I played with my son and daughter for an afternoon, and Fanning didn't come back until dinner. The two children went to wash their hands, but Fanning didn't see Ouyang Qian. He was a little surprised, "Where is Sister Qian?"

"Sister Qian feels a little uncomfortable and feels disgusting!"

Zhu Pei smiled and said, "Don't you want to ask why?"

Fan Ning was stunned and then said happily: "Is it a joy?"

"It is possible that I hired a doctor yesterday, and the doctor said that I can't diagnose it yet and I will have to wait another month."

Fan Ning quickly calculated the time. He should have been pregnant for a few days after returning to Beijing. He calculated that he was about one and a half months pregnant. He just started to react. He was probably really pregnant.

Fan Ning was overjoyed that he was going to have a child again.

The next day, Fanning went out before dawn and the family took him to the back door pier. Fanning said apologetically to Aya: "Thank you to take care of yourselves with Sister Qian."

Originally, Aya wanted to accompany Fanning to sea this time, but Ouyang Qian's pregnancy changed the plan, so she had to stay again.

Aya bowed obediently, "Don't worry, official! I will take good care of Sister Qian, and official should take care of himself."

Fanning nodded, instructed Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian a few more words, then waved to everyone, took a few followers on the ship, and sailed towards the sea outlet. He would exchange a flagship of 30,000 stone on the dock and lead a huge fleet of fifty huge ships to the sea to Nanyang.

At this time, the Nanyang Dynasty was in the middle of the Sanfuqi Kingdom. The Sanfuqi Kingdom occupied Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and the eastern part of Java Island. The Boni Kingdom occupied the northern part of Kalimantan Island. On the Indochina Peninsula, the Li Dynasty, the Champa and the Angkor Dynasty were the small country Luzon on Luzon, and on other islands such as Medan, there were a small number of indigenous people living.

These kingdoms ruled the entire Nanyang region, but the economy was still quite backward. They mainly exchanged items such as spices, gold, tortoiseshell, coral, amber, precious wood and other daily necessities for ceramics, ironware, cloth, brocade, sugar, wine, and other daily necessities in the Song Dynasty.

The target of the Song army fleet was Luzon Island. Fifty thousand stone ships carried 10,000 Song troops, sailing southeastward at a speed of 400 miles per day and night. After ten days of navigation, the fleet gradually arrived at Luzon Island.

On the bow of the boat, Mingren, who was accompanying him, seemed worried. Although he despised the King of Luzon, he was still very uneasy when he went to Luzon. Isn’t this just going to destroy the country?

Fanning walked behind him, looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and asked lightly: "Are you still worried about Luzon?"

"Isn't it too cruel to destroy the country?"

Fanning smiled, "I told you that I don't want to kill them, I need them to mine for me. Of course, they can choose to move, and I will give them some compensation, but the Luzon Plain must give it out!"

“Where can they move?”

"There are many places to go! You can go to thousands of islands. I think the Sulu Islands are good. They went south and changed the name of the country to Sulu. This is their best ending."

This is also Fanning's promise to Zhizhengtang. Not to slaughter the country. Although the prime ministers of Zhizhengtang agreed to Fanning's massacre in Ryukyu Mansion, it does not mean that they can continue to accept it. There is still some reason for the killing in Ryukyu Mansion, but it is completely unconventional to destroy the country.

Fanning said: "You better persuade them to accept it."

"Anning, they still respect the Song Dynasty!"

“Awe?”

Fan Ning sneered and said, "I have never paid tribute to the Celestial Empire for a hundred years. I can't see where their respect lies? Don't say that they don't have ships, I don't know how many cargo ships are anchored here every year. They will not be able to go to the Song Dynasty? Enjoy the items of the Song Dynasty, but have no gratitude or surrender. Who will die if they don't die in such a small country?"

Fan Ning was right. At this time, Luzon had been established for a hundred years, but it was not until the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty that people were sent to the Celestial Empire. During this period, the Luzon and the Song Dynasty were busy with folk trade, but they never paid tribute to the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, the Sanfoqi Kingdom, which was much stronger than them, had already paid tribute to the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdoms many times.

Mingren had to sigh, and he didn't know what to say. Establishing a prefecture in Luzon was already the national policy of the Song Dynasty, and it was not a commoner who could change it.

At this time, a soldier shouted on the mast: "I saw the land ahead!"

Fanning walked forward, and a black line appeared in front of him. Mingren walked up and said in a deep voice: "This is the northernmost part of Luzon Island, but Luzon is still south, and it will take one day to get to Luzon."

In fact, Fanning knew that the Luzon State was in Manila in later generations. In fact, the country was very small, just as big as Manila, with a population of less than 100,000, and its productivity was very backward, relying mainly on spices and gold.

The fleet headed south along the land, with endless dense forests on the land, with a low terrain, which was a low mountainous area. The plains were mainly distributed on both sides of several rivers, and there were also many low hilly areas, which were also excellent agricultural areas.

The next morning, the Song Dynasty fleet sailed into the bay, which was later Manila Bay. The fleet stopped several miles away from the shore, and a small boat sent a Boni businessman to report the news.

Fanning stood on the boat and could clearly see the Luzon State, all of which were low wooden houses. Where were the city walls?

Fan Ning turned around and glared at Akihito, "Didn't you say that their city is like a small county town? Where is the city wall?"

Akihito scratched his head and said, "I just said that the area of ​​their city is like a small county town, and I didn't say that they have city walls!"

At this time, a group of short and dark-skinned soldiers rushed over. They stood on the dock and shouted, carrying a long bamboo pole in their hands, and there was a head hanging on the bamboo pole, which was the merchant who had just gone to deliver the letter.

Akihito immediately took a breath and touched his neck. He had already offered to deliver a letter, but Fanning rejected it and sent a Boni merchant who was very familiar with the King of Luzon, but was actually slaughtered.

Fanning's face immediately became gloomy. This was called shameless and actually killed the messenger he sent.

He immediately ordered, "Send the army to go ashore!"

The first large ship with a 20,000 stone slowly moved closer to the shore. There were a thousand troops on the ship, each wearing iron armor, holding a large shield and a spear in his hands. Then the second large ship with a 20,000 stone also moved closer to the shore. The ship was a thousand crossbowmen, who were responsible for covering.

Two large ships docked at the same time, and teams of soldiers rushed down and quickly gathered on the shore. The soldiers of Luzon on the shore were already scared and rushed back to the city.

At this time, a rumbling drum sound came from afar, and the army of Luzon was also gathering quickly.

Fan Ning didn't know that there was a conflict between the elderly Luzon King Luo Gang and Prince Lagan. Luo Gang hoped to negotiate with the Song army, but Lagan was fierce and firmly disagreed with the negotiation. Once the Song army negotiated, they would have the chance to go ashore and they would lose their precious opportunity. In the end, Prince Lagan gained the upper hand.

He ordered the merchant who delivered the letter to beheaded to show his determination. He personally led 10,000 soldiers to fight to the dock, caught the Song army off guard and did not give the Song army a chance to get ashore.

The army of Luzon followed the imitation of Boni, wearing rattan armor, holding spears and making simple bows and arrows. The soldiers were basically barefoot, wearing shorts on the lower body, and had two rattan armors in front and back. This was also the reason why the pig iron in Luzon was lacking.

The capital was only ten miles away from the bay. Soon, the horns were shaking the sky in the distance, and the dark soldiers were heading towards the shore under the leadership of Prince Lagan.

A thousand armored spear soldiers were already in line. They lined up in long rows to protect the soldiers from the fleet behind to continue to get ashore. In front of them, a thousand crossbowmen knelt on one knee on the ground, holding up their crossbows and aimed at the running Luzon soldiers.

They only have two thousand people, while the other side has ten thousand people, with a huge difference in strength of five times, but the third and fourth troop transport ships are docking and reinforcements are about to arrive.

Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, and finally entered the killing distance.

The crossbow soldiers used the divine arm crossbow, which could shoot through the Liao army's iron armor within 150 steps, but they had no experience in vine armor and did not dare to launch it too early.

"emission!"
