Great Tang Southern Emperor

"What you said is very reasonable." Li Zhen didn't pay any attention to the conflict between the two, but said: "The previous method of this palace was indeed a little too drastic, although it can indeed easily destroy the enemy, but It also leaves us with blood on our hands, which is really not good for our reputation."

"You..." Luo Zhe became angry as soon as he heard it, he gave Pei Xingjian a hard look, and then said to Li Zhen quickly: "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense, there is no way in this world that can kill people without seeing blood. ? Killing people with a knife and bloody hands are inevitable, but rest assured, Your Highness, even if someone brings up this matter in the future, this subordinate will take care of the matter for His Highness, and will not hurt Your Highness. "

"No, you misunderstood, Bengong never intended you to take the blame for Bengong." Li Zhen said a little bit wrongly, because at the very beginning, he really wanted Luo Zhe to take the blame for him. Black pot.

"However, Pei Xingjian's words also reminded me that we do have a way to kill without blood."

"What? Really?" Luo Zhe immediately regained his spirits: "Your Highness, tell your subordinates quickly, what is the method? Can your subordinates use it?"

Except for those who are born to kill, no one wants to have blood on their hands, and Luo Zhe is no exception. The reason why he intends to kill the natives of Borneo is mainly because there is no other method that can be more thorough than this method. The natives of Borneo have been exterminated. If there is such a method, of course he doesn't mind using it.

"Of course there is, but whether it can be done or not will be discussed after we go back." Li Zhen did not finish his sentence, because he knew that the master had a very personality and loved peace, so he might not be able to agree to himself, but no matter what, Let's try it out.

Chapter 857 Swordfish Tribe

Chapter 2 Seventeen Swordfish Tribe

With the medicine prepared by Shiratori, the plague crisis of the fleet was relieved, and everyone was half relieved.

In the days that followed, Li Zhen still had no intention of leaving the beach, nor did she intend to massacre that tribe. Instead, she sent many spies into the jungle to explore the situation of that tribe. With the efforts of the spies, Li Zhen Soon got detailed information about this tribe.

I don't know what the name of this tribe is, but the totems of the spies are the swordfish caught by Li Zhen that day. There are often rituals to worship the swordfish totem, so Li Zhen simply called them the swordfish tribe. The name of the tribe that was ravaged by the plague was the Big Tree Tribe, but this tribe has already perished, so I won't talk about them.

Regarding the Sailfish tribe, Li Zhen has obtained quite detailed information.There are more than 2 people in the Sailfish tribe, and there are more than 5000 people in the young and strong. It is the largest tribe within five hundred miles.

Compared with other tribes, the Sailfish tribe is better. They are similar to the natives of the Lilac tribe on Dingxiang Island. They mainly live on farming and fishing. They are relatively moderate tribes, but has the barbarism in their bones been removed? Nobody knows.

The Sailfish tribe has developed its own civilization, can use bronze and some iron, and has its own city, and the planning of the city is very reasonable.

The Swordfish Tribe has two cities in total, a main city and an auxiliary city. The length and width of the main city are more than one mile, and the circumference must be more than five miles. The auxiliary city is about the same as the Big Tree Tribe, only two or three miles.

The two cities were built with stones, and the city walls were as high as one foot. They were already quite towering in the primitive forest. At least ordinary wild animals could not enter the city.

The Sailfish tribe has the ability to tame elephants. There are dozens of elephants in the tribe, which can be used not only for agriculture but also as weapons of war. This is also the biggest reliance of the Sailfish tribe.

The swordfish tribe does not have its own written language, but has its own language, and has also developed simple medicine, which has effective treatments for common diseases or poisonous injuries in the jungle.

The Sailfish Tribe is relatively harmonious and rarely fights, but it has also developed a class hierarchy. The lowest level is slaves, most of whom are criminals or captured prisoners of war, and then civilians, engaged in farming, fishing and hunting, and then slaves. Then there are nobles, who are the rulers of the tribe, but there are not many nobles, only a few dozen people, and there is no such thing as nobles oppressing civilians.

The chief of the Sailfish tribe is called Ala very. He is a man in his 40s, but because of the hard life in the jungle, he is very old. His hair is gray and his face is full of wrinkles. A 40-year-old looks like a 60-year-old. It can be seen that in the jungle where food is abundant, the aborigines do not live very well.

Allah has a high prestige in the tribe and is very worshiped by the people. He is also a powerful warrior. Although he is 40 years old, he still has the ability to hunt and kill a Borneo rhino (Sumatran rhino) alone. Ability, bravery, and his combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of Li Zhen's fierce generals. At least Cheng Chuliang sighed to himself after fighting a Sumatran rhinoceros, thinking he was not as good as Allah.

Allah is not only powerful in force, he also has a very powerful ability to command troops. During his reign, he has suffered three large-scale wars. In the end, it was only with the command of Allah that he repelled the enemy.

……

In addition to the above information, the spies did not explore any more information, but just having these is enough. After getting the specific information, Li Zhen's subordinates already wanted to destroy the flag. No matter how powerful Allah is, or how powerful the Sailfish tribe is, facing the Tang army armed to the teeth, they can only be a mantis with arms and overwhelmed.

However, when everyone was ready, they found that Li Zhen didn't seem to have this plan, and didn't even mention the use of troops.

Now he is not fishing every day, but is helping the crew to identify treasures, regardless of Luo Zhe and the others who are already anxious to beat people.

Speaking of treasure hunting, the people in the fleet are really crazy. They have searched almost the entire area around Semporna. The treasure hunters in their hearts have already aimed at Boon Boon Island, which is a island that has been peeled off from the main island of Borneo. The part of the island that is exposed to the water is not large, and nearly two-thirds of the area is hidden under the water, so the sea water is clear and not deep, which is very suitable for diving.

With the expansion of the search area, Li Zhen harvested more treasures. The transaction record of Wu Qi's pearl watermelon, which was originally the most precious, was quickly broken. One piece was fished out of the seabed, and it was full of the head of an adult. The large and small sea blue diamonds were bought by Li Zhen at a price of 1 guan.

However, the person who presented this treasure also made the same choice as Wu Qi, and also wanted to exchange a large amount of land from Li Zhen. Unlike Wu Qi, he did not want the land in Chang'an, but the land in Nanyang.Even Li Zhen couldn't help admiring his vicious vision and swiftness of action. It's really rare that a good family from an ordinary family can have such a forward-looking vision.

The main policy of Datang in the future is Nanyang, and the development of Nanyang in the future must be very fast.But at this time, the most valuable thing in Nanyang is land. You can buy an acre of the best land with 1 guan. Including the gift from Li Zhen, there are a full [-] mu of fertile land.

This is also the reason why Li Zhen said that he has a vicious vision and a quick move. Everyone knows that the future of Nanyang is limitless, but the Chinese are cautious. Even if the land price in Nanyang is low, there are still not many people buying land here, and more people are still waiting for the court The landless civilians who are allotted land, but given the wealth of Nanyang, a commoner can't get much land, at most only a dozen or twenty acres, and they can't buy and sell freely, which is equivalent to farming land for the big landlord of the country.

After Nanyang develops in the future, given the fertility of the land on the alluvial plain of the Mekong River, the price of the land here is probably no less than that in Chang'an, and may even be more expensive than that in Chang'an. After all, the grain output here is too cruel, even if it has not been improved , The output of rice can also reach hundreds of catties per mu of land. If the price of such precious land is not high, it is really unreasonable.

It can be said that with so much land, even if this person does nothing and waits for the land to appreciate, he can become a rich man—his choice is much better than Wu Qi's.

Therefore, Li Zhen gave him a high look and remembered him in his heart, but after asking his name, Li Zhen was stunned.

Because this person's name is Heitooth Changzhi...

Chapter 858 Black Tooth Changzhi

Chapter 2 Black Teeth Changzhi

Even after beating Li Zhen to death, she never thought that she would meet Chang Zhi, the black tooth here...

This is the usual black tooth...

Li Zhen is very familiar with this person. One of the famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, he was named the Duke of Yan, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty who was victorious in all battles, and he is not a member of the Tang Dynasty, but a minister of Baekje.

Hei Chi Chang Zhi, this kid was originally from Baekje, his deeds are unknown in his early years, his first appearance was in Tang Gaozong Xianqing five years (660), Su Dingfang led the army to attack Baekje, Hei Chi Chang Zhi led the crowd to surrender, that day The age of black teeth is often 30 years old.

In that war, the black-toothed Changzhi first surrendered and then rebelled, and even set off a major internal turmoil in Baekje, which brought a lot of trouble to the Tang army.

However, there was a reason why he surrendered and rebelled. In that battle, there were tens of thousands of Silla troops in the Tang army. Silla and Baekje were feuds. Therefore, after defeating Baekje, the people of Silla did a good job. Because of all kinds of burning, killing and looting in Baekje, Heizhi Changzhi was very afraid, so he formed a crowd to resist, which caused a huge civil strife in Baekje, and almost broke through Si, an important town of the Tang army in Baekje. Fortunately, people from Silla came to the rescue in time, so Tang Jun was able to breathe.

Until the third year of Longshuo (663), the Tang army completely quelled the Baekje restoration activities. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi sent envoys to recruit Hei Chi Changzhi, and Hei Chi Changzhi led his troops to surrender, and the person who recruited him was Liu Rengui.

Since then, Hei Chi Changzhi has devoted himself to serving the Tang Dynasty, attacking Tubo and defeating Turks. It’s just a Duke of Pingyang County), but it’s a pity that he was framed in his later years and hanged himself to death, which is really a pity.

According to history, Hei Chi Changzhi should still be his noble son in Baekje at this time.

It's a pity that this Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty in history, Li Zhen is no longer the Li Zhen in history, Baekje is not the Baekje in history, and the black tooth Changzhi is no longer the black tooth in history Often.

In today’s time and space, Baekje started at the beginning of last year (it was more than December when Li Zhen went to sea, and he has been wandering on the sea for so long, it has passed the 17th year of Zhenguan, and now it is the beginning of Zhenguan’s 18th year) Being annihilated by the Tang Dynasty, destroying its country, moving its people, exterminating its heirs, and cutting off its species, Chang Zhi with black teeth naturally became a captive of the Tang Dynasty.

As for how he got into Li Zhen's guards, Li Zhen has a little guess - when he left Chang'an last year, Li Shimin wanted to consolidate Li Zhen's position in the eyes of foreigners and to better buy off conquered foreigners. Heizhi Changzhi should have mixed in at that time, but how did he get into Zuo Nei's mansion from the six rate, Li Zhen is not sure.

Although Li Zhen knew that this black-toothed Changzhi was very loyal to Datang in history and would not do anything to assassinate him, but it is not necessarily true. Old age, just when he was full of blood, far from being 30 years old in history, and his thinking has matured. At this time, he was still very immature (he was born in 630, and he is only 15 years old this year). Datang and him have another The hatred of destroying the country, maybe he sneaked into his army, maybe he was waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him.

It's just that Heizhi Changzhi is a famous general after all. It would be a pity to kill him just because of a little suspicion of his own. Although Datang has a vast territory and a lot of talents, there are also many truly top talents, especially Whether this black-toothed Changzhi is someone who has proven himself in history, of course Li Zhen can't waste it in vain, it's just that such a time bomb is placed by her side, Li Zhen is not at ease...

Simply, give him a position, ask him to transfer out of Zuo Nei's mansion, give him the position of captain, let him transfer to Tianzhu battlefield, let him have a chance to prove himself, Li Zhen gave his own solution.

With such an arrangement, no one would refuse it. After all, it is an honor to be the prince's army, but it is only an honor, because the prince seldom goes to the battlefield. For those who aspire to gain fame immediately, it is definitely a kind of torture.

What's more, why those guards are willing to wander around in front of Li Zhen, isn't it because they want to leave an impression in front of the prince, so that the prince will think of himself if something good happens in the future?

Now Li Zhen gave Hei Chi Chang Zhi a chance, no one would refuse it, and he was a captain from the beginning, this is definitely not a petty official, and he came out of the prince's army, no matter where he went Wherever you go, you have to be looked up to by others. As long as you make a little contribution, you can get promoted and get rich.

Thinking about it, Heizhi Changzhi probably wouldn't refuse. If he refused, it would mean that he had ulterior motives for sneaking into his side. Even if Li Zhen was the killer, no one else would say anything.

After making a decision, Li Zhen didn't pay any attention to this matter, but another matter made several subordinates anxious.

"Your Highness, what exactly are you thinking?" Cheng Chuliang anxiously paced back and forth in front of Li Zhen, but Li Zhen didn't feel panicked at all, but remained indifferent.

"What's the hurry?"
