"It should be that you took good care of Tyran when you were on the ship, so she trusted you so much that she even wanted to rely on you, so she chose you." Qu Ping said with a slight teasing.

Feng Chao thought to himself: "I'm just doing my duty to be a bodyguard, where is the thoughtfulness?" Could it be that it was because she saw Princess Tyran's body that she secretly promised me? ”

Qu Ping saw that Feng Chao wanted to get into trouble, afraid that he would fall in love and forget about business, and said: "Tailan chooses to trust and rely on you, and he also wants to rely on the big tree of the Great Song Dynasty to enjoy the shade through you." ”

Feng Chao let out an "oh", it turned out that he didn't want to rely on me so purely, it seemed that he was too stinky and beautiful, and he was self-inflicted.

Qu Ping patted Feng Chao's shoulder and said meaningfully: "I hope you will be a good bridge!" You know what I mean? ”

Feng Chao nodded as if he didn't understand, and agreed.

"Okay, I've got everything I need to explain. This is your opportunity, but also your mission and responsibility, I hope you will not fail to live up to the trust of this king and the court! Of course, while taking care of the big self, you can also fulfill the small self. Qu Ping said.

If Tailan can tie the knot with Feng Chao, it will naturally be a good thing to be happy and kissed. What happens after the future depends on the creation of the two of them.

Feng Chao knelt down and received the order: "The last general swears to be loyal to the imperial court, and will never waste the expectations and entrustment of the prince!" ”

Qu Ping said with satisfaction: "Get up." I will take the soldiers back to the port first, and in a few days, I will send 3,000 soldiers who can really stay here to garrison Srivijaya with you. For the past two days, you will stay in the palace and help Princess Tylan prepare for the enthronement ceremony. She doesn't want you to miss her enthronement! ”

Feng Chao looked embarrassed and asked again, "How long are we going to stay here?" ”

"This deadline, for Da Song, I hope it will be forever; For the soldiers, it is rotated every five years; For you, it depends on your development with the future Her Majesty! Qu Ping said.

Feng Chao was a little excited, a little hesitant, and a little scared and worried. He wasn't sure if he would stay at Sriwijaya for five years, or ten years, or even longer.

But at least, for the past five years, there is still something to look forward to!

Feng Chao's heart became a little excited, and he began to yearn for tomorrow.

After arranging Feng Chao, Qu Ping and Zhao Chengzhang rushed back to the port with three thousand soldiers.

Zhao Chengzhang asked Qu Ping on the road: "Why do you want to promise Tailan to garrison troops in Srivijayaya?" ”

Qu Ping explained: "It's not that the garrison is so simple, and it's not that it promised Tailan. Instead, a military base of the Great Song Dynasty was set up in Sriwijaya, and the garrison and the base could not be simply confused. And it was I who made the request, and it was she who promised me. ”

"Why?" Zhao Chengzhang couldn't see any huge benefits from this trick of giving up the child and trapping the wolf.

Qu Ping patiently explained: "The Sriwijaya Strait is the main or even the only way connecting the oceans on the east and west sides, and the establishment of a military base in Sriwijaya by our dynasty is equivalent to enjoying the ownership of part of the strait at the same time and grasping the lifeblood of Srivijaya. This military base will become a springboard for the Great Song Dynasty in the east and west oceans, and it will also be an important force to radiate and influence other surrounding forces. It is not only the power to help Tailan tide over the difficult situation now, but also the cornerstone of the long-term plan of the Great Song Dynasty to dominate the ocean! ”

Zhao Chengzhang seems to understand whether he understands or not, and it will take a while to digest and absorb it in his eyes. But Qu Ping's consideration must be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty.

As long as it is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Chengzhang will pursue and struggle unremittingly! He must be worthy of the national surname given by the emperor - "Zhao". Zhao Chengzhang has long not regarded himself as a eunuch chamberlain, thinking that with this "Zhao" character, he has already seen himself as a member of the Zhao family in his bones, not a descendant of the Zhao family, or a dog of the Zhao family!

This is the meaning of the national surname.

"So, after returning to the court, you will go to the emperor with me to state the necessity and importance of this move!" Qu Ping said.

Zhao Chengzhang said: "Listen to the prince!" ”

The next day, everyone returned to the port and saw that the port was in good order, and there were groups of Song soldiers patrolling to maintain law and order.

The patrolling Song soldiers were very happy to see the prince and the marquis come back with the soldiers. Everyone's backbone is back, even if tens of millions of people are coming, everyone is not afraid.

Qu Ping was even more timid about his hometown, and slowly accelerated his pace towards the Song Dynasty, and when he arrived under the boat, he had already run.

Xiao Lu received the news that Qu Ping and others had returned, and hurriedly took Han'er to the deck to meet Qu Ping.

Qu Ping nervously rushed to the deck, hugged Xiao Lu's mother and daughter, and let go of the two from a distance, carefully inspected the two, and after confirming that they were intact, he tightly took the mother and daughter into his arms again.

"Okay, it's okay. You're holding it so tight, I'm going to be out of breath. Xiao Lu said softly.

Han'er shouted, "My face has been squashed by you!" ”

Qu Ping let go of the two, held Han'er's little face, and kissed it hard.

Xiao Lu said: "The day after you left, Tuomasha sent someone to bring us a lot of wine, refreshments, and fruits. Actually, I didn't expect them to harm us at first, I just saw that the people who sent the things were too hard, so I invited them to eat together. The eight people who delivered the food probably didn't know that the food was poisonous, and they died immediately after eating it. Luckily, I haven't distributed the food to everyone yet, otherwise it would have been miserable! ”

Qu Ping said: "It was your kindness that saved everyone!" ”

"How can it be so noble."

"How did you deal with this?"

Xiao Lu said: "I know that the food is poisonous, and someone must be trying to harm us. So I gathered the generals on the ship and discussed what to do. In the end, he decided to fight violence with violence, arrested Tuomasa and his men, and took over the port. ”

Qu Ping praised: "You did the right thing! Han'er wasn't scared, was she? ”

Xiao Lu said: "She is still young, where does she know so much." "Look at the Chinese network

"Where's the Tuomasa?"

Xiao Lu said: "Stay until you come back and decide what to do?" ”

Zhao Chengzhang also got on the boat at this time, and knew that Tuomasha had done these bad things.

Qu Ping said to Zhao Chengzhang: "Chengzhang, you also heard it, right?" ”

Zhao Chengzhang nodded, not knowing what Qu Ping would do with the murderers.

"Since it is a poison made by them, give it to them to eat. After eating, dig a pit and bury it so as not to pollute the environment! Qu Ping didn't want to be polite to them anymore.

"Okay, I'll let them do it!" Zhao Chengzhang promised to implement it.

The next day, Qu Ping stood on the armor of the ship and said to the more than 8,000 Song soldiers lined up on the open beach: "Soldiers, remember what I told you, what is the mission of our soldiers? ”

"Obey the order, defend the family and the country!" The soldiers replied loudly.

Qu Ping said: "That's right! In order to expand the security area of the Great Song Dynasty and increase its influence on the surrounding countries, it was decided to set up a military base in Sriwijaya. I need 3,000 hard-working and courageous soldiers to volunteer to stay in Srivijaya. During the five-year period, all preferential treatment is given to the remaining soldiers and their families in the country. After returning to the Great Song Dynasty during the five-year period, priority will be given to promotion and appointment, and after the expiration of the discharge, you can also be given priority to serve in the official office! ”

After listening, the soldiers whispered and exchanged opinions with each other. According to Qu Ping's words, in addition to not being able to see his relatives, the benefits are indeed quite attractive!

"I'm signing up!" Someone raised their hand to show their willingness to be the first to eat crabs.

Someone started to sign up, and then someone began to raise their hands to sign up. Most of them are young people who have not started a family and have no major concerns.

Qu Ping looked at the countless soldiers scrambling to raise their hands to sign up, and said with relief: "Okay! Very good! You have taken an important step for the imperial court. Not only the court will remember you, but the people will also remember you, and history will remember you! ”

With everyone's enthusiastic registration, the number of people exceeded 3,000. Later, the soldiers even compared it to whoever dared to stay in Sriwijaya would be the bravest and most dedicated soldier.

However, Qu Ping had already decided that there were only 3,000 people, so in the end, he had to select the best among the more than 3,500 people.

Qu Ping said to them earnestly: "Although you are far away in the Three Buddhas, you still have to remember the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, abide by the discipline of the army, and abide by the laws of the Three Buddhas, and respect the local customs. Don't be coquettish, don't behave nonsense, always uphold and promote the excellent virtues of the Great Song Dynasty. If there is a violation, it will be severely punished! When you go out, you represent not only you personally, but also the Great Song Dynasty behind you and thousands of years of Chinese civilization, do you understand? ”

The three thousand soldiers said in unison: "Obey!" Please rest assured that the prince and the court will not worry! ”

In the latter matter, Zhao Chengzhang was responsible for leading people to register each of the 3,000 soldiers. The roster was copied in two copies, one was left at the Sriwijaya base, one was left at the Jinghai Division, and one was left at the military headquarters.

Remembering the instructions, the three thousand soldiers set out in full gear and set off for the palace with four cannons.

I believe in this great gift, Tyran must like it very much.

Zhao Chengzhang looked at the magnificent backs of the soldiers and said reluctantly: "Lord Wang, why do you have to take away four cannons?" ”

"This cannon is the most real deterrent. With it, Feng Chao will be more confident with three thousand soldiers! Qu Ping said.

"Has the prince chosen the location of the base?"

Qu Ping said: "It is at the southernmost corner of the forces north of the Srivijaya Strait, and the terrain is excellent, which can not only hold the strait, but also radiate the Moluoyu. I do things, you can rest assured. ”

The place Qu Ping chose was Singapore.

Qu Ping is relieved, how can Zhao Chengzhang not be at ease.

Tyran had ascended the throne as queen, but the one-month deadline set by Qu Ping for the new King Koshari was still half a month. In half a month, I was able to cross from the east to the west of the Sriwijaya Strait.

Taking advantage of the gap between waiting for the meeting of the new King Koshari, Qu Ping could only take the soldiers from the beach to the sea for training in order to pass the time.

The soldiers fought passionately against the waves in the sea, and there was no sense of boredom, but an endless sense of freshness.

After five days, the training of the soldiers had been programmed, and Qu Ping took Xiao Lu and Han'er, with seven or eight sailors, to row a small boat to a small island ten miles to the east for recreation.

Swimming, diving, fishing, sand stacking, crab catching, shell picking, sunbathing...... Make the most of your family time.

After surviving in the wild on the island for three days, when they returned, Xiao Lu and Han'er were both dark.

The sailors rowed the boat, Xiao Lu blew the salty sea breeze, stretched out the back of her red hand and sighed: "It's all tanned, when you go back, Ping'er still thinks you brought back a foreign daughter-in-law!" ”

Qu Ping said: "This is called wheat color and healthy complexion!" There are a lot of people who want to make Quansheng this color! ”

"Who has no aesthetics and is looking for self-abuse? I don't like it! ”

Han'er played with all kinds of colorful shells, divided them into categories, and said that this one should be played by herself, this should be left to her younger brother to play, and those can be played with everyone.

It's so comfortable to have such a happy and leisurely life. It's a pity that Zhao Ping'er didn't come, otherwise, she would still be able to fly on the sea......

The boat docked, and Zhao Chengzhang ran over and said, "Lord Wang, you're back!" ”
