Chapter 563: The Crown Prince and the Vassal King

When the north wind is howling in the river and the ice and snow are the generals, the still warm south, a fleet of ships is also setting sail.

Zhao Gou has adapted to the result of the interruption of contact with the northwest in the cold winter.

Since he used troops in the Western Regions, this is a necessary reserved item every year.

He never thought about overcoming this 'danger', not because it was unnecessary, but because it was not a top priority, and it was too difficult.

He didn't think the army of the Western Expedition would be in danger.

Not to mention a group of generals such as Yue Fei and Yao Youzhong, just to say that the fundamental combat power of the Song army, after eliminating the Jurchens with outstanding hand-to-hand combat ability, it was already the first in the world.

Think about it, Yelu Dashi in history, with a group of cobbled men, could sweep the river, conquer the eastern and western Qarakhanids, defeat the main Seljuk force, and dominate Central Asia.

How could Yue Fei, who held the elite of the 80,000 Song Army in his hands, and Yue Fei, who also held a lot of Saibei rangers and Gaochang vassals in his hands, be defeated?

As for the armies of the Western world, just look at the fact that the Byzantines were still overpowered by the weakened Seljuks. And the so-called Shenluo in the more western, hehe, Zhao Gou is a hundred who can't be looked down upon.

Therefore, after returning to Bianjing, he was confident that more energy was spent on treating Zhao Ji's funeral and bringing some brothers to the internal affairs office.

From commerce to banking, to the Honglu Temple, mineral mining and textiles, sugar, metallurgy, etc., plus book printing and librarianship, and finally book repair, there were too many places to settle his cheap brothers.

Throughout September, Zhao Gou spent all kinds of busyness.

And in October, an even more exciting news spread in Bianjing, and it quickly overwhelmed the limelight of Emperor Bintian.

The official family already has a prince of their choice.

and to cut off the land of Luzon and to seal the kingdom for another prince who was defeated.

As soon as this news came out, I don't know how many people were shocked.

Because the two princes are still young.

Many people think that this battle for the heir has not started yet, why is it suddenly over?

I really don't know how many people were caught off guard, and how many people beat their chests and feet, which is why the impact and vibration will be so huge.

As for the fertile soil of Luzon, which was pursued by Zhao and Song, to the prince to establish the country, this is something that many people don't care about.

Compared with the vast Central Plains, how small is Luzon? It's a piece of.

There are too many people in the north and south of the country who want to explore what is behind it.

But there are also a handful of people who are uneasy.

That's the immigrants on Luzon.

In the Age of Discovery, the discovery of every new country and every new land was no less than a wonderful journey from the "old world" to the "new world".

Perhaps the strength and weakness of the new century may be big or small, but there is no doubt that when people in the old world face the "new world", they will inevitably inlay their own characteristics into it.

For example, the two most famous teeth in the original plane. They are colonizers, they are aggressors, so they are characterized by militarization.

Everywhere they went, they had to build strongholds, and after defeating the natives, they had to spread their faith, and plundering wealth was an appendage in the process.

Although the excessive amount of gold and silver allowed the latter to rise in status rapidly, and then became more and more important.

John Bull and the Great Windmill would start with trade, first to establish contact with the natives, and then to choose good ports along the coast or islands, and to use various methods to seize them, so that they could establish their own strongholds and deploy fort defenders.

They use a very unpleasant but tolerable way for the indigenous people to integrate into the local area little by little, develop silently, accumulate their own strength, and finally gradually expand inland, and then completely swallow each other.

This is no different from the experience of the Great Song Dynasty going to Nanyang.

Looking at Zhao Song's actions at Temasek, how is it different from John Bull? And what is the difference between the move to Borneo and Indochina and the history of the conquest of the big plate duck in Latin America?

The only difference is that, compared with Europeans like "strangers", the countries of Nanyang are familiar with the Great Song Dynasty, and even the Great Song Dynasty is the suzerainty of some small countries.

Therefore, even though the Great Song Dynasty has begun to use force to conquer Zhenla, Boni, and other countries, and threaten Zhancheng, the port of Zhao and Song in Temasek is already as stable as a mountain.

Whether it is Sriwijaya, the overlord of the South Seas, or Tianfang Baifan, who occupies an absolute position in the Nanyang business circle, no one dares to peep at Temasek.

Even though Tianfang Baifan has a very good influence in the old port (Palembang) and other places, the many years of operation and the strong ocean-going fleet of the Baifan have made it have an extraordinary status in the country of Srivijaya.

There are already some shadows of Brahmanism in the countries of Nanyang, even Theravada Buddhism, which is still dominant there, is also full of white-skinned Brahmins.

Compared with the natives of the South Seas, they have a natural identity with the Tianfang Baifan who came from afar.

Tianzhu Buddhism has flourished for thousands of years, but it has not changed the caste system there.

Tianfang Baifan has been operating since the Tang Dynasty, and has gained a firm foothold in the coastal ports of Sriwijaya today.

A large number of white fans gathered, there were nobles and servants, and there were elders in the temple.

The old port, where the round vault protrudes, is like the country within the country of Baifan.

Together, the Manpower of the White Fans will greatly outnumber Temasek's port defenders, but even so, they have never coveted it.

The fundamental reason is the strength of Da Song's own strength.

The bustling Temasek is located in Nanyang, which is a rare prosperous place. But it can only be a drop in the bucket for the Great Song Dynasty.

After Da Song was plucked out of a hair, it didn't hurt at all. However, the ensuing revenge of the enraged Song people was unbearable for all the countries and people in Nanyang.

Therefore, even if the Song people have exposed their 'ugly faces', Zhao Song's development in Nanyang is still smooth sailing.

At least no one in the Nanyang countries dared to close the door to the Great Song Dynasty and refuse to trade and trade.

It is also because of the stimulation of overseas closures, more and more Chinese people go to Nanyang. Especially Luzon, which is in a good situation!

The natives here are not a climate, and under the sweep of the Song army, they either die or surrender. There are also large plains, and the land is fertile.

In a few years, they were either relocated by the government or took the initiative to go, and there were no less than 100,000 Han households in Luzon.

And there are few poor people among these people.

Luzon is rich and has a large number of natives, so it is not too easy to run a farm estate.

Whether it is to buy with money, exchange for goods, or organize people to hunt slaves by themselves, they can obtain slaves at a relatively cheap cost, which is undoubtedly a tiger with wings for manors and farms.

Therefore, the immigrants in Luzon have not lived too comfortably in the past few years.

It is really not a joke that they are eating the benefits of immigrants, one year is stable, two years are out of poverty, and three years are rich.

Now that they heard the news that Luzon was going to divide the feudal kings, some people were excited and some people were not only worried. Not to mention, there are not a few rich and noble families who have set up villages in Luzon Land in recent years, and they are also paying attention to the affairs of the vassal king.

Because as soon as the vassal king is established, their money bags will be bad first.

Every vassal king wants money, money, and people, but at the same time, they are the most short of money and people.

How can anyone really keep themselves clean? The crows in the world are as black as they are.
