Chapter 1014： forced

   Although his face was a little red, he still insisted on looking at Mu Yangling. It is undeniable that he agreed with the envoy's point of view, because he did not think that the prince of Daqi was so kind and would help Lu Song for free.

Of course    Qi Haoran would not be so kind enough to help Lu Song for free. He was paid for Luzon's gold and silver mines.

But looking at the angry tiger's head, the little lion, and the raging anger in the little bear's eyes, Mu Yangling was not stupid enough to tell them this, but smiled and confidently said to Joao: "Viscount Joao , Do you know the relationship between Lu Song and Da Qi?"

Joao thought of what Hutou and the others had shouted before, and said, "Luzon is a vassal of Daqi."

Mu Yangling nodded, "Then do you know what a vassal country is?"

Joao was silent, of course he knew that, just like their country was in the Austro-Hungarian Empire a hundred years ago, Daqi was the upper country, and Luzon was a vassal.

"If you invaded India and other stewards that have nothing to do with our Daqi, our Daqi would not intervene. At most, I would say a fair word for India and condemn you, just like what England has done in India now, we Did Daqi ever say something? But Luzon is different. Luzon is a vassal of my Daqi, and the king of Luzon asked Daqi for help. As long as we have the ability, Daqi will naturally help. This is why the prince sent troops, and Before dispatching the army, the prince also sent weapons and food to Luzon for support, and Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong have also donated money and materials to help Luzon children and women affected by the war."

Mu Yangling herself has been through war and knows how pitiful children and women are in war. She sighed: "Child, evil cannot suppress justice, it is only a matter of time, and aggression has always been the worst evil. Anyone with backbone and flesh and blood will not surrender to the invaders. Even if they will give their blood and soul, they will persist in resisting, forever and ever, until their homeland is saved. This may be contrary to the education you have received since childhood, but I I hope you can think about it for yourself, I have always believed that human nature is inherently good, and I hope you can return to kindness."

Joao looked at Mu Yangling with a gentle gaze, and felt ashamed in his heart, "I, I shouldn't misunderstand the prince like that..."

Mu Yangling smiled and didn't mind at all, "Just clear up the misunderstanding."

The three little bears looked at him proudly, "My father is not a bad guy!"

Mu Yangling asked them to take Brother Joao to play in the garden, "When your father comes back, eat."

The tiger head and the little lion grabbed Joao from left to right and told him how kind their father was. Even if he met beggars on the street, he would give some coins. How could such a good man go to invade other countries?

Xiao Xia saw that the children were far away, so she asked worriedly: "A Ling, Fourth Uncle really didn't mean to take Luzon? If Fourth Uncle wins Luzon in the future, wouldn't it disappoint the children?"

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, Haoran will not kill Lu Song. If you don't believe me, go back and ask your cousin, he will definitely disdain Lu Song."

In their eyes, Luzon is a barren land, separated by another sea. If the two countries knew each other by chance during the Tang Dynasty, and the King of Luzon asked for the seal, they would not have known about the sea. And this land.

In their opinion, is there anything in the Central Plains that is so rich and rich that it is worthwhile to invade Luzon?

In fact, Mu Yangling agrees with this point. China is already big enough and rich in products. Adding territory to it may not be a good thing. The most important thing is that aggression is never the best policy. She does not like war, especially this kind of aggression. war against aggression.

Xiao Xia was dubious. She was not a child. She thought Qi Haoran was a good person. A good person could be a general and lead the three armies?

"Then why did the fourth uncle agree to send troops to help?"

Mu Yangling coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "He has agreed with the king of Luzon, he will send troops over, and Luzon will give them a piece of land to mine for them."

Xiao Xia understood that this was the reward for sending troops, "King Luzon is even willing?"

"Forced..." Mu Yang sighed in inspiration, "That's why Daqi has to become stronger so that it won't fall to this level."

Xiao Xia was startled, "Forced by the fourth uncle?"

Mu Yangling was embarrassed, how cruel Qi Haoran was in Xiao Xia's heart, she said: "It was forced by the Spanish and Portuguese..."

Lu Song is not far from Guangzhou, and letters can be sent back every three or five minutes, so Qi Haoran is well informed. Qi Haoran's study has always been open to Mu Yangling, not to mention that Mu Yangling doesn't need to look at it himself, when he goes to bed at night Qi Haoran will also talk to Mu Yangling if she is interested, so she knows.

Qi Haoran was heading for the gold and silver mines in Luzon, so he instructed Zhou Zhou to ask people from the Ministry of Industry to investigate the mines after he went ashore, but the area is so big that they knew a general area, where to find it?

In the end, the mineral was not found, but instead encountered foreigners several times.

The foreigners slaughtered tribal villagers, which undoubtedly angered Zhou Zhou and others. Lu Song is a vassal of Daqi, and they still have the same black eyes and black hair as the Han people, and there were many problems caused by the southward migration of the Dazhou court and the ban on the sea behind. Han people immigrated to Luzon, especially after the sea was banned, and the fishermen had no way to survive. Many people moved to Luzon with small wooden boats to settle down and make a living in the coastal areas. Similarly, the culture and Chinese language of the Han people were also brought to Luzon.

The nearby tribes could more or less know a few words in Chinese. When they saw Zhou Zhou and others, they immediately called for help in Chinese.

Zhou Zhou originally brought troops to rescue them, but the foreigners’ actions angered them again. Zhou Zhou brought people to do it with the foreigners without even thinking about it. The matter soon spread to the King of Luzon.

The King of Luzon was originally worried that Daqi was also plotting evil, but seeing that Zhou Zhou and others only rescued and fought foreigners, not occupying land, and after passing one place after another, they did not occupy the city like the foreigners.

Although the King of Luzon was still a little uneasy in his heart, he was very happy. The foreigners who came ashore were really hateful. If the tribesmen did not submit to them, they would kill people. If they did, they would drive people to do coolies. Time has taken up a lot of space, and it has caused a lot of complaints. If there is no peace, the country will be in chaos.

King Luzon didn't know what Daqi wanted, but Daqi was in the country, which was better than foreigners who were greedy and like evil spirits, so King Luzon personally sent an envoy to come to Qi Haoran with a letter, while thanking him for extending his message. To help out, he hinted at what he wanted. As long as Lu Song could get it, Lu Song would definitely pay tribute.

Qi Haoran saw that Zhou Zhou had been unable to find the gold mine for a long time, and felt that he couldn't look for it like this, so he directly proposed to King Lu Song that he would help them deal with the foreigners. If he wants to give them the mining rights of minerals, he doesn't want too much, just ten years of mining rights in the area that is said to have gold and silver mines.

The King of Luzon first invited the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to ask, and confirmed that there were two silver mines in the area. He was a little reluctant and did not agree.

But as soon as Zhou Zhou and the others stopped, the foreigners counterattacked frantically and captured their three larger tribes in one breath. The firearms were so powerful that they could shoot people from a distance, which made Lu who had insufficient bows and arrows. Song was very passive, and out of frustration, King Luzon agreed to Qi Haoran's request.

As a result, mining has also moved from private to public and is legal.

That's why Mu Yangling said that the King of Luzon was forced.
