After Ouyang Shi left, Chen Zhenghui officially took over the government affairs of Liuqiu Island. At this time, a certain degree of balance had been reached between the Han village and the natives, and between the Jilong Harbor and the pirates of the East China Sea, so as long as the Han side was not determined to open up, it would not take a lot of effort for Chen Zhenghui to maintain this status quo. However, Chen Zhenghui is a serious person, in addition to routine inspections every day, he also sorted out the documents that Ouyang Shi had accumulated over the past half a year.

Ouyang Shi relied on his personal agility to do things, and he didn't care much about paperwork, so he left it all to the secretary to do. The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, and the secretary who gave him a hand was also very sloppy about this matter. But Chen Zhenghui is a person who has been trained in orthodox bureaucratic clerical training, and he has always learned from his family in this regard, and after getting acquainted with the administrative system established by Yang Yingqi and Yang Pu and others, he naturally connects the old learning with the new knowledge, and the means of handling things are very different from Ouyang Shi, although Ouyang Shi is a simple and effective way, Chen Zhenghui This is an authentic and long way!

Until Ouyang Shi left, Chen Zhenghui still had a mentality of "let's try it out", but in the process of sorting out the documents, he gradually came into contact with the truth that he had not been exposed to before - especially the true strength of the Han Department!

The more he tidied up, the more thrilling it became! Originally, he thought that Ouyang Shi was also an overseas land king, how did he know that he and the Jinmen he was connected with actually dominated the trade rights of half of the East China Sea! And what especially shocked him was that Ouyang Shi's Han Department was actually a subsidiary of the Jin State, an emerging power in the north, and this Jin State was about to beat the Great Liao to the ground!

Chen Zhenghui put away his mentality of contempt for the Han Ministry, and became more serious and cautious in his work--he also became wary of the Han Ministry! But the people around him, including Cao Xiaocai, hadn't noticed the subtle change in his eyes. When Chen Zhenghui asked about the origin of the Han Ministry, the clerk who came from Huining told Chen Zhenghui all about the origin of the Han Ministry, the merits of Zhi Yanchong, etc.!

The document that spoke had a narrow vision, so he couldn't understand the ambition revealed by Yang Yingqi's various layouts, but the obedient Chen Zhenghui noticed it! He found the sea and land map drawn by the Han Department in the room where Ouyang Shi worked, and when he saw the ultra-short distance between Daliuqiu Island and Fujian, his fist actually clenched painfully!

"No! This island must be handed over to the Great Song! ”

That was his first reaction. But he immediately remembered his promise to Ouyang Shi. In any case, Ouyang Shi can be said to be his benefactor, and to some extent, he is also his Bole - he not only greatly improved his living conditions, but also handed over the affairs of the entire island to himself at a critical time, how could he betray such a person? But if he waited for Ouyang Shi to come back without doing anything, then the Great Song Dynasty's coastal defense—he had already thought of this—would face a huge threat!

"Maybe Ouyang and they are not hostile to the Great Song Dynasty, but they are vassals of the Jin State after all!"

If the Jurchen is still just a small overseas state that is as weak as Champa and can be ignored, then forget it, but this Dajin in front of him is already a foreign power that even the Liao State can't match! It is too dangerous to put Daliuqiu Island in the hands of such a powerful country!

Looking at the big ships in the port through the window, Chen Zhenghui turned his head and looked at the map again, his fingers swimming on the southeast roads of the Great Song Dynasty: "The state of barbarians cannot be relied on!" If the Jurchens become an enemy country in the future, starting from the chicken coop, the entire Jiangnan will be in danger of falling before the night! Especially Fujian! ”

And Jiangnan is already the source of money and grain in Bianjing at this time, and it is the lifeline of the whole country!

Chen Zhenghui's fingers trembled, he was no longer thinking about whether to do it, but thinking about how to do it-after all, Ouyang Shi was just a personal favor to himself, and at the moment of state affairs, personal favor should not be covered up!

"If you submit a letter to the imperial court...... No way! Now the court is full of a group of mediocre ministers and traitorous ministers! Maybe they won't take me as a retainer at all, and they won't even take this small island overseas! What's more, according to Cao Xiaocai, the imperial court is about to form an alliance with the Jin State. If the court doesn't take my words seriously in the end, then I will not only fail to report it rashly, but will startle the snake! What am I going to do? What to do? ”

After a few weeks of wandering thoughts, he turned to the legendary history of the Han Dynasty as relayed by the Han document: "If these are true, then they were just a bunch of fugitive slaves in the first place. But now they have this peninsula, and this stream, and this sea...... What do they rely on? Chen Zhenghui's eyes lit up: "They rely on themselves!" What about me? Without the help of the imperial court, can I rely on my own strength to keep the country from threats? ”

Chen Zhenghui began to calculate the comparison of the strength of the Han Department and himself: "They have soldiers, money, and a Jin country behind them as their backing, what do I have?" I don't have anything, I don't have soldiers, I don't have money, and even the court won't pay attention to me...... Am I having no strength left? ”

Suddenly, he thought of the inhabitants of the island! These people have just migrated from the Great Song Dynasty, and although they have been integrated into the administrative system of the Han Dynasty, "their hearts should still be towards the Great Song Dynasty!" It's not something that can be changed in one or two generations! ”

"That's right! That's my power! The reason why the imperial court has not yet noticed the true power of this Han tribe is because they hide it well. If they can hide, why can't I? They hide in the corners of the world, and I hide in their hearts! If they have always maintained friendship with Da Song, then I will continue to maintain friendship with Ouyang, which can be regarded as repaying his acquaintance with me. But if there is a case in the matter, then I will contact Fujian and the two Zhejiang water divisions, cut off the connection between Jinmen and Daliuqiu Island from the outside, and take over the political situation of Liuqiu Island from the inside! Bring a large island that has been developed to the Great Song! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited, if his idea could succeed, wouldn't it be another form of territorial expansion?

The strategy in Chen Zhenghui's mind gradually became clear: "But to control the situation on this island, I can't do it alone...... Well, there have to be like-minded people. Who to turn to? Father? Cousin? Or the same year? That's right! I can bring these people in in through the name of the Recommenders...... Wait! If you think about it this way, then it is also a good thing for me that they induced immigrants from the Great Song Dynasty! If there are more and more Song people on this island, even more so than Jinmen, it will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court! At that time, as long as the local dignitaries are allowed to play a piece of paper, and the Son of Heaven decrees, there are sailors from the outside to the east, and there are close ministers inside, and this island will naturally become the new state capital of the Great Song Dynasty! The residents were originally the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the officials were the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, so they would not have any resistance to Wang Shi...... "Thinking of this, Chen Zhenghui's eyes were open, and it was even more open than the new realm he realized that day due to the inspiration of Yang Yingqi's notes!

It was a chess game that I had never thought of - even Yang Yingqi had never thought of it!

What's more, Yang Yingqi at this time couldn't think about these problems at all. His heart was gripped by another question. From Jinmen to Hoeryeong, all those who cared about him were worried about him.

The Gushan Temple in Jinmen, the Zhenhai Temple in Liaokou, and the Qixia Temple in Dengzhou have all been praying for Yang Yingqi's prayers, but the old monk Huiguan, who is quite profound, has already seen that Yang Yingqi's illness cannot be solved by chanting and praying.
