Luzon is not called Luzon.
This name was given by Li Ke, and it was also engraved on the map where he was located, so people in the Tang Dynasty followed Li Ke in calling it Luzon Island.
It doesn’t matter what it’s called, the important thing is who is doing it.
What Li Ke is holding is a book called "Ziyu Chunqiu". The author is unknown. The actual authors are Kong Yingda and Chu Suiliang. Li Ke didn't know if there were others, but what was written in it was naturally Li Ke's request.
The whole book is not thick, and most of the content in it is real history, but there are many additions to the real history, such as the strengthening of some coastal countries, declaring certain islands as the territory of these countries, etc.
Of course, it was only announced and discovered, not stationed.
The garrison manpower is too much. No one can believe it. The main reason is that there is no supporting evidence in other history books, so this cannot be done.
Li Ke read it slowly. After reading it, he had to admit that people like Kong Yingda, who had read the books of sages all his life, were awesome.
Tsk tsk, this fabrication was not made casually, but by referring to the real history books, and polishing the few words mentioned in the real history books, so as to achieve the result of confusing the fake with the real one. It is not excessive, but it achieves the goal.
Okay, this is enough. Our Tang Dynasty has repeatedly conquered these homelands, so that’s enough.
"Your Highness! Luzon Island has arrived." A voice woke up Li Ke who was reading.
Li Ke put down the book in his hand, then stood up and walked out of the cabin. Changle and the others did not follow him, not even Yang Anning and the others. Only ordinary maids followed.
Standing on the deck, the islands in the distance were clearly visible. The navigator was personally trained by Li Keyue at the trading company, so the position was unmistakable.
"Your Highness, is this the Luzon Island you are talking about?" Feng Ang looked at the big island in the distance with some curiosity.
"Yes, this is Luzon Island." Li Ke nodded. The first batch of Malays had actually migrated to Luzon Island during this period, but the number was not large. As for the country... there was no such thing. Just some small tribes.
Around the middle of the Tang Dynasty, some merchants from Guangzhou would sail here and trade with some local tribes. In the Ming Dynasty, a country would be formed here and they would pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Historically, Luzon Island was named by the people of the Song Dynasty, and Li Ke happened to borrow it.
"This island is deserted, and there don't seem to be many people there. There are also those Kunlun slaves. I wonder who your highness is here?" Feng Ang asked with some confusion.
"This is your task in the future. As for why I am here, you will know soon." Li Ke said calmly. The mineral distribution map in his warehouse is not just China's mineral distribution map. The original name of that thing is " Global Mineral Resources Distribution Trend Chart.
The global distribution of mineral resources that have been mined and those that have not yet been mined are recorded in various countries, because the distribution of these mineral resources is also a scientific study. Through the formation and existing storage locations of mineral resources, It's even possible to deduce where minerals are found.
Therefore, the locations of minerals in the Philippines are naturally recorded, including those gold mines that have been mined in the Philippines.
There are records on a large gold mine located on the north side of Luzon Island.
And now Li Ke and the others are here.
For human civilization, there may even be several eras of civilization and several changes of dynasties in the course of thousands of years. However, for the vicissitudes of nature, without sudden strong external intervention, it is as if one hour is the same as the change of human beings. In general, the change is not that big.
The fleet quickly found the relevant location through the appearance characteristics given by Li Ke.
Feng Ang kept looking at the binoculars in Li Ke's hand.
Making a telescope is not difficult. After making the glass, you can actually try to make it, but the difficulty of this thing is not as low as Li Ke thought.
The telescopes currently produced can see far away, but the effect is actually mediocre and the line of sight distortion is very serious.
Of course, the one in Li Ke's hand is for military use, so the effect is naturally much better.
The ship quickly docked at the target location. Because there was no port here, Li Ke and the others took small boats, while the large ships anchored at a certain distance from the shore.
When he set foot on the land here, Li Ke followed Feng Ang who got off the boat with him and said: "Since I have stepped on this island, it will be my land of the Tang Dynasty from now on. What I said, no one can It can’t be changed.”
"Yes." Feng Ang bowed down and saluted without saying anything. He knew that His Highness had already spotted this place, and this was just an excuse.
"After we leave, you can send professionals to circle around to find a suitable place to build a dock. It shouldn't be too far from here." Li Ke added.
"clear."
The place where Li Ke and the others landed was a beach. The beach was quite ordinary, but there were mountains not far away. Not long after they got off the beach and walked forward, Sun Simiao stood still and said with emotion: " It suddenly dawned on me why you insisted on these seemingly uninhabited islands.”
"Oh? Why?" Li Ke looked at Sun Simiao with some doubts, wondering why Old Sun suddenly came to sigh.
"Look at the mountain in front of you." Sun Simiao pointed to the mountain not far away from the two of them, and Feng Ang and the others also looked over.
Li Ke glanced at it. It was quite ordinary. It was just a hilltop. The hill was not too high. It was covered with dense plants. There was nothing else to see.
"What's wrong?" Li Ke was a little confused.
Sun Simiao glanced at Li Ke speechlessly, and then said helplessly: "That's Dendrobium officinale, also known as Lin Lan, Dendrobium of Sichuan, Tiepishi, and Fengdou. It's all over the mountains and plains."
Li Ke was stunned for a moment. He immediately knew what these names were. "Dendrobium officinale?" Li Ke asked.
"Well, you are right to say that." Sun Simiao nodded.
Li Ke turned his head and looked at the Dendrobium candidum all over the mountains and plains. He was also a little confused. Although he knew that there were many valuable things on these Southeast Asian islands, he came mainly for the gold.
Looking at the Dendrobium candidum all over the mountains and plains...it seems like this thing is not much worse than gold?
Dendrobium officinale is known as the "life-saving fairy grass" among the people.
Li Ke really doesn't know much about the price of this thing in later generations, because he really doesn't know much about medicinal materials, let alone Chinese medicinal materials. But in Datang...it's very expensive.
Looking at the dense Dendrobium on the mountain in front of me, so... I made money as soon as I got off the boat? !
