Unlike in the Southeast Mansion, where he was surrounded by brothers and would never betray him, in Phi Dao, Zhang Shouyun had to be cautious.

Yan Tian's situation was better than his, although there were also factions in Ning Yuan's army, and there was infighting, but it was far less complicated than Phi Dao.

Knowing Zhang Shouyun's difficulty, Gan Hui expressed deep sympathy for him and encouraged him: "What you have done is related to the battle for hegemony in the Overseer Continent, and it can be said that you have made a lot of contributions!" ”

Zhang Shouyun said firmly: "We must complete the task!" ”

Gan Hui brought him a letter from home, his family was safe, and informed him that the Southeast Fleet had a big victory with Hongmaofan, and at the same time told him that he had been promoted to the rank of colonel, which was the highest military rank except for the old qualifications of the Overseer and Chen Xinji, and was equal to Yan Donglai, who came out of a big battle.

The victory of the Southeast Mansion also strengthened Zhang Shouyun's heart, and he planned to continue to work, even if he was tired and tired.

"Trust the Overseers! We will definitely succeed! The northern captives will be destroyed! Gan Hui patted him on the shoulder and said.

……

Gan Hui left Phi Dao and went to Korea, to Deganghwa Island, where he sent a letter from Yan Changwu to the local guards, asking them to send it to Seoul urgently.

The king of North Korea, Li Liang, read the letter and summoned the minister Li Gui and Hong Yihan to discuss, it turned out that Yan Changwu wanted to lease Jiaodao in North Korea for a rent of 10,000 silver dollars a year, and the period was until the northern captives were completed, and it would be returned.

Jiaodao is a large island in the west of Korea, with an area of 32 square kilometers (4 kilometers by 8 kilometers), located at the mouth of the Taedong River (Pyongyang is in the river basin), about 300 miles from Phi Dao, as long as the fleet is stationed in the southeast province, it will become an impregnable fortress, the fleet sails here, and the mainland will reach the range of its artillery in a good wind!

Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong are not people he can control, Yan Changwu made second-hand preparations, and started a new stove, in case Phi Island is lost, Jiao Island will attack Houjin!

Attacking Houjin and containing their troops, or temporarily withdrawing the troops and personnel from Phi Dao to Jiao Dao, there are many benefits anyway.

At the same time, Jiaodao can be used as a permanent place for the Southeast Fleet, and a military port can be set up, so that it is convenient for the troops to train and repair their ships, so as to avoid the lack of logistical supplies in case it is necessary to mobilize the Southeast Fleet from Taiwan on a large scale to fight Houjin.

Li Liang showed the crowd with a book: "Can we lend him the island?" ”

Li Gui smiled bitterly: "If you borrow, you have to borrow, if you don't borrow, you have to borrow, this letter has found a reason for us to prevaricate the northern captives, saying that it was robbed by the southeast government (don't talk about the Ming Dynasty, avoid losing the face of the Heavenly Empire)!" ”

seems to be intimate, including evil intentions, Yan Changwu really plans to do this, if North Korea doesn't lend it, then rob it!

Gan Hui brought five gunboats to come, if he gave it to the island, he would be a maritime merchant, not to the island, but to become a bandit, anyway, the southeast province is so gangster, if you don't give it, you will rob it!

The truth is within the range of artillery, even if it is five gunboats, it is still impossible for North Korea to eat and walk around.

……

Hong Yihan, a North Korean scholar, came to negotiate with Gan Hui on the orders of the king, and secretly muttered that the gunboats in the southeast province were bigger, with more guns and thicker (coarsely, Yan Changwu brought a sixth-level cruiser last year, and this year Gan Hui came with a fifth-class cruiser).

He said with a smile: "My country is friendly with the Southeast Mansion, what about lend-lease, we have a better idea for Jiaodao." ”

Gan Hui said: "Please speak! ”

Hong Yihan didn't say much, and made a request: "My king Wenyan is a young hero of General Yan, and he admires him very much, and now my king has a beloved daughter who has been named a dignified Shuweng lord (the concubine of the Korean princess), virtuous and wise, beautiful and natural, can be the concubine of General Yan, and Jiaodao is the Tang Muyi of the lord of Weng, do you think it is good?" ”

"It's a big deal! I can't call the shots, I have to report to the Overseers! Gan Hui hurried up.

"That's, that's, I'm willing to send an envoy to the Southeast Mansion!"

"Well said! I'll arrange for a cruiser to take you to the Overseers! Gan Hui said cheerfully.

……

Half a month later, Hong Yihan arrived in Kaohsiung, which was the first time he returned to the territory of Southeast Province.

As he approached the Southeastern Province, he saw many warships, merchant ships, fishing boats, and beautiful sailing boats!

Especially the clippers, which can't transport goods and can't be fishing boats, made him suddenly realize that these are the toys of rich people!

From one detail, you can see the wealth of the Southeast Province!

Chinese people have always been very diligent, there is no concept of holidays, work every day, busy from the first day of the new year to the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, almost no rest.

Yan Changwu was in charge of the southeast government, and the public affairs implemented the Gregorian calendar, first the army and the administrative department had a "Sunday" rest, and then his industries had Sundays, and then advocated the implementation of Sunday rest in all walks of life, as well as the Spring Festival, Labor Day, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival in the southeast province.

With holidays and the affluence of the Southeast Province, the folk boat trip is popular, which is the most popular leisure way in the Southeast Province.

Kaohsiung is a military port station, and I saw that the soldiers were capable, extremely energetic, and masculine, showing that this is a strong army in the world!

When he went ashore and saw the clean appearance of the streets of Southeast Mansion, his eyes widened in disbelief!

It's incredible to see the vibrant appearance of the Southeast Mansion.

Because the small people walking on the streets of the southeast province have even better complexion than the high-ranking officials of North Korea (i.e., well-nourished)!

……

Yan Changwu was not there, he took his fleet to training.

The person in charge was Chen Xinji, who warmly welcomed Hong Yihan's arrival, received him in his office overlooking the Kaohsiung Military Port, and invited him to refreshments.

"North Korea and our country are interdependent, in the past, there was a Japanese state, intending to be our Central Plains, often using North Korea as a springboard, and now there are northern captives, stealing the northeast of our country, threatening the Beijing Division, and invading North Korea.

Any sovereign of our country, if conditions permit, will definitely send troops to help the court, which is a matter of mutual benefit.

North Korea is safe, then China is safe! (The word China was first seen in the bronze "He Zun" inscription in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Yu Qi Zhaizi China, since it opened up the people", since then it has become Huaxia, China, Shenzhou and other synonyms refer to China, in the southeast mansion, do not respect the Ming court, but Yan Changwu must be loyal to China!) ）

However, due to internal troubles in China, we are powerless to help the DPRK, which really makes us ashamed!

……”

Chen Xinji gushed about the importance he attaches to North Korea, which made Hong Yihan feel aware of his feelings and nod his head frequently.

Speaking of aiding North Korea, Chen Xinji's face was difficult: "My southeastern province is good at naval warfare, and I am good at boating, like northerners riding horses, fighting in the bitter cold outside the border, which is not our strength!" ”

"However, it's hard to say about the world, I dare to say that whoever destroys the northern captives must be my southeast mansion!" Chen Xinji is categorical.

"What do you mean by that?" Hong Yihan perked up and asked.

Chen Xinji said with a smile: "My southeast mansion master, the strange man in the world!" Born in the Vedic acres, rising in the Taiwan Strait, the Dutch Red Hair Fan in Tainan in World War I, the Dutch Red Hair Fan in the East China Sea in World War II, killed the bandit Xu Xinsu, and broke the Fujian Naval Division...... "He is eloquent, tells the glorious history of Yan Changwu, and hears Hong Yihan with relish.

"What about the Overseer and my court?" Hong Yihan asked.

"It's a good thing for the two parties to marry Qin and Jin, and I, as an uncle, have agreed to this on his behalf!" Chen Xinji is confident, and he has a big package.

The two sides agreed on the detailed rules, Hong Yihan went satisfied, and because he was anxious to return, he did not stay for two days, and left Kaohsiung on a clipper ship from the southeast province.

……

When Yan Changwu came back, he didn't see Hong Yihan and heard that he had another wife, and besides, a wife was like a young tooth like his wife Yang Ying'er, who was ten years old this year, and it would take at least five more years to be able to marry. (According to the rules, you can't even meet before you get started)

Ahh

Yan Changwu is very unhappy, haven't I become a strange uncle? Or is it a goldfish? (Little sister, take you to see the goldfish)

But Chen Xinji persuaded him to follow!

Lose, it's not you who marry! Yan Changwu rolled his eyes, he had the bad idea of coming up with the king's order to marry Chen Xinji, and let him, a forty-year-old uncle, marry a ten-year-old girl!
