    Chapter 249 Something happened in Keelung

    When he was still in Keelung, Li Min was already ready to recognize his relatives, because according to his guess, the other party was either his uncle or his cousin.  After meeting today, it was as expected, but what he didn't expect was that the other person turned out to be a person who had already been recorded dead in history books.

    Although Li Min was surprised by the sudden appearance of Yang Xun's uncle, he could accept it. After all, the other party's explanation was indeed reasonable, and he was so familiar with Concubine Yang, so he could be sure that the other party was a historical figure.  Yang Jian, the king of Qi in the Sui Dynasty, was also his and Li Ke's uncle.

    But what Li Min didn't expect was that his uncle, who had been unlucky all his life, was actually terminally ill. He spent so much effort to lure him here, firstly to test his abilities, and secondly because he wanted to entrust him with his affairs.  and Li Ke.

    Since they are all a family, there is nothing to say. Besides, they have given all the power they have managed for decades to their brothers. This is an extremely generous gift.  In addition, Yang Jie himself has a natural affinity and is full of open-mindedness in his speech, which makes people have a great impression of him. Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Li Ke and Li Min both have a deep affection for Yang Jie.  This uncle was very enthusiastic, but the thought that the other person was about to die soon made them feel a little sad.

    Li Ke and Li Min chatted with Yang Jian and his daughter for almost a whole day, mainly talking about trivial matters in life. For example, what Yang Jian asked the most was how was his mother, Empress Xiao, in good health, and how was her meal?  There are also some situations about Concubine Yang and Xiao Shengping.  But what makes Li Min feel strange is that his uncle seems to have missed the one person who should be asked the most.

    "Uncle, you asked about the situation of your mother, concubine, grandmother and others, but why don't you ask your cousin?" Yang Jian is an open-minded person, so Li Min has no scruples and asks whatever comes to his mind.

    The cousin he mentioned was actually Yang Zhengdao, Yang Jian¡¯s son.  At that time, everyone thought that Yang Jian was dead. Fortunately, one of his concubines was pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. This was Yang Zhengdao. Later, he went to the Turks with Empress Xiao. It was not until the Turks were destroyed that he returned.  He returned to Chang'an with Empress Xiao and was named Yuanwai Sanqi Minister by Li Shimin.  Ordinarily, as a father, Yang Jian should ask the most about his son, but now Yang Jian has not mentioned a word?

    Unexpectedly, after hearing what Li Min said, Yang Xian smiled bitterly and said something that stunned both Li Min and Li Ke: "That person is not my son at all!"

    "What? Thishow is this possible?" Li Min and Li Ke didn't expect to hear such an explosive answer again, and they suddenly exclaimed loudly.

    Seeing the surprised expressions of the two of them, Yang Jian smiled and shook his head. Although his two nephews were both good and bad, they had experienced too few things to think about the joints, so he opened his mouth and gave some advice.  : "Nothing is impossible. Since I, Yang Jian, was not killed by Yu Wenhuaji, then Yang Zhengdao may also be a fake. Although I don't know where the mother found the child, but in such troubled times  Among them, she needs a descendant of the Yang family to be in her hands as a guarantee of settling down and settling down."

    Yang Xian's words revealed the secret, and it also made Li Ke and Li Min feel a sudden realization. Indeed, in that era when all heroes came together, after her husband was killed, Empress Xiao, a woman, if she didn't have the power in her hands,  If she had some capital, she would have been killed long ago. Yang Zhengdao, the nominal posthumous son of Yang Jian, was undoubtedly her greatest political capital. For example, during the Turkic period, Chuluo Khan established Yang Zhengdao as the king of the Sui Dynasty.  This was used as an excuse to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains.

    I see. No wonder Queen Xiao is closer to me, my grandson, than to Yang Zhengdao's own grandson. It turns out that guy is simply a fake. No, it should be said that there is no such person as Yang Zhengdao in the first place. He is just a person in the hands of Queen Xiao.  Just a life-saving gold medal!  Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but secretly admire his old grandmother who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

    As their understanding deepened, Li Ke, Li Min, and uncle Yang Xian became more and more congenial as they chatted. From family matters to state affairs, they could talk about almost everything in a clear and logical manner, especially about Li Min's voluntary relinquishment of the throne.  In exchange for Li Shimin's full support to expand overseas, Yang Jian was even more applauded.

    ¡°In recent years, he has not always stayed on Liuqiu Island. Before he got sick, he often went out to sea by boat. He traveled almost all the sea areas in Southeast Asia, and even reached Tianzhu.  After seeing these overseas places, he suddenly discovered that the overseas places were not poorer than the mainland. On the contrary, there were many places that were even richer than the mainland. For example, some large islands south of Java, where the natives barely used  After hard work, there are edible fruits everywhere in the forest, and there is an endless supply of fish in the sea.??These naturally growing plants and animals are enough to ensure that they will not go hungry all year round.

    Compared with these places, the land of the Central Plains can almost be described as barren. The hard-working people work for a year, but they can barely have enough to eat. If there is a flood or drought, it is common for people to starve to death, and sometimes it even happens.  The human tragedy of exchanging children for food.

    In addition, Yang Jian said with emotion that he also found a large island in the south of Java that was extremely suitable for living, and he also sent some people to clean up the natives on it. If anything happens to Liuqiu, then he will  I took all the people to move to that big island. It is estimated that they will not be needed now, and they will also be given to the two brothers Li Min.

    It wasn't until the sun set that Li Min and the others ended their conversation. Compared with the tense situation in the morning, it was now very harmonious. Even before the sun had completely set, Yang Xian took a boat to Li Min.  I sat down there and had dinner with the Li Min brothers before leaving.

    And early the next morning, Li Min asked Lu Qing to lead people to take over the other party's territory.  This was what Yang Jing actively requested yesterday. After all, he is already waiting for death, and he only has a ten-year-old daughter at his knees, so he cannot inherit his position. Besides, the closest ones are Li Ke and Li  I am jealous of these two nephews. If I don¡¯t give it to them, who can I give it to?

    Speaking of which, the power in Yang Jin's hands is really quite large. There are more than 80,000 residents under his jurisdiction, and more than 10,000 troops can be mobilized. Of course, these more than 10,000 people can only be used for temporary purposes. Really  As a standing force, there are only more than 2,000 people as the core force.

    More than two thousand people are directly in the hands of Yang Jian. He is one of his confidants who leads these two thousand people. This man's name is Zhu Meng. He is in his forties this year. He turned out to be the commander of the guards around Yang Jian. The reason why Yang Jian was able to  Jiang Du escaped because of this man who fought his way out and almost lost his life to protect Yang Jian. He was the person Yang Jian trusted the most.

    In addition, this Zhu Meng also has a great background. His father's name is Zhu Kuan. Not many people may know this name, but Yang Guang sent people to Liuqiu Island three times and the Liuqiu Islands further away. The first two times  Zhu Kuan was the main general. It can be said that he was the first official of the Central Plains Dynasty to lead the way to Southeast Asia.  It was also because of Zhu Kuan that when Yang Jian was desperate, Zhu Meng, Zhu Kuan's son, suggested that he come to Liuqiu in order to develop slowly, which led to today's situation.  It can be said that Zhu Meng is not only Yang Jian's confidant, but also his number one hero.

    In addition to Zhu Meng, there is another important person under Yang Jian. This person's surname is Chen Minggong. He has the same name as the counselor who abandoned Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period and later assisted Lu Bu. It is a coincidence that although they are separated,  For hundreds of years, these two people with the same name and surname are both rare resourceful people.  The plan that brought Li Min here was the work of him and Yang Xun, and the real executor was Chen Gong. In addition, since Yang Xun fell ill, political affairs such as people's livelihood have been handled by Chen Gongzai, and he has always been responsible for it.  He has never made any mistakes and is a rare administrative talent.

    In addition, compared to Zhu Meng, Chen Gong is not only younger, but also has a greater background.  His father's name was Chen Leng, who was originally a general of the former Sui Dynasty. When Yang Guang sent people to Liuqiu for the third time, it was this Chen Leng who led the soldiers.  Moreover, compared with Zhu Kuan, who led the team twice before, Chen Leng also held a higher position. Not only was he officially worshiped as Doctor Guanglu, but he was also given the title of "Xin An".  In addition, Chen Leng also had a conflict with the Liuqiu natives. Not only did he kill the opponent's leader, but he also plundered thousands of native men and women and presented them to Yang Guang. His actions were much greater than Zhu Kuan's.

    Before and after the Jiangdu Rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Chen Leng followed Yang Guang and was also one of Yang Guang's most trusted officials. Unfortunately, during the Jiangdu Rebellion at the time, Chen Leng was leading troops to suppress rebellions in various places in the south of the Yangtze River and had no time to return.  Later, Yu Wenhua and his troops led the army north. Chen Leng returned to Jiangdu, found the hastily buried body of Yang Guang, and mourned him again. It can be said that this man was one of the few loyal ministers in the late Sui Dynasty.  Unfortunately, he was defeated by Li Zitong later. He originally wanted to encourage Li Zitong's feud Du Fuwei to take revenge, but his goal was achieved, and he was killed by Du Fuwei in the end.

    Chen Gong is Chen Leng's son. However, he was taught by his father since childhood and had deep feelings for the former Sui Dynasty, so he did not want to be an official in the Tang Dynasty. Later, after his mother passed away, he sold all his family property and took  With the money he earned, he traveled around the country, and then on a whim, he came to Liuqiu, where his father had been on a mission. As a result, he met Yang Jian by chance, and the two naturally hit it off. From then on, he became Yang Jian's most important assistant, helping him  Tainan and other places are governed in an orderly manner.

    Chen Gong and Zhu Meng were Yang Xun's confidants, and they both knew that Yang Xun was seriously ill. Moreover, Yang Xun had persuaded them to continue to follow Li Min before, so when Li Min took over Yang Xun's power  , these two people were the first to express their loyalty, and the others naturally followed suit, soLi Min easily controlled the entire periphery of Liuqiu Island.

    However, before Li Min could integrate Yang Jian's forces, urgent news came from Keelung. After receiving the news, Li Min and Li Ke were both frightened and brought the fleet with them.  Rush to Keelung without stopping!  (To be continued.
