Chapter 106 Yuyang's agitation is loud
"Thank you, sir, for coming to visit, and please greet my husband for me."
Zhao Youju was wearing thick cotton clothes, his body was so bloated that he couldn't look like it, and it was a little difficult to even bend down when he saluted. When he reached the door, he stopped, as if there was a thunder pool outside the door.
Yu Tianxi also arched his hand, he came to the Yiwang Mansion and originally walked through the side door, and Zhao Heju didn't send it out, so as not to alarm those who have a heart.
After leaving the Yi Palace, Yu Tianxi frowned, his mother taught Zhao and Ju etiquette for two months, and it can be seen from his mother's letter that the old lady likes this young man, saying that he is simple and honest, respects the elderly, and knows how to hurt people. Yu Tianxi also has a very good impression of Zhao and Ju at home, not only because Zhao and Ju were found by him from the countryside, but also because of his dreams with strange omens.
Only this time, Zhao Youju was too cowardly, but it was an assassin who broke into the dormitory, and he didn't even see him, so he was scared like this.
After all, he is a country child, he has never seen much of the world, and it is good to be so timid, at least for Xianggong, it is easier to control than the heroic king, but in the past, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty......
Thinking of this, Yu Tianxi suddenly realized that his family's future and wealth were tightly tied to Shi Xianggong and King Yi's heirs, and half-heartedness not only made no sense, but also caused trouble. With his current situation, it was too late to get out.
"If you take the exam, you must pass the exam, and only in this way can you ......"
He pondered and entered the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when he entered the door, a person walked out of him, although Yu Tianxi was a little absent-minded, but when the person passed by him, he still shivered excitedly.
"Qin ......"
The man who passed by him was in a green coat and a small hat, with a gloomy face, and did not look at him. This person has the same name as him, but his surname is Qin, and it is said that he is a descendant of the former prime minister Qin Hui. If Yu Tianxi is Shi Miyuan's confidant, then this person is Shi Miyuan's confidant, who specializes in finding out news for Shi Miyuan and doing some dark and ruthless things. Yu Tianxi's heart froze, and he saw that Qin Tianxi, who had already passed by him, turned his head slightly and swept him with his dead fish-like eyes.
Cold sweat unconsciously rose on Yu Tianxi's forehead, and every time he met this person, he had these cold and piercing feelings.
"Pure father, you came just in time, how is the situation of the heir?" When Shi Mi saw Yu Tianxi coming back, he immediately called him to his study and asked about Zhao Guicheng's situation in detail.
Yu Tianxi didn't dare to hide anything, carefully recalled the situation of his meeting with Zhao Guicheng, and said that he listened to Shi Miyuan one by one.
He asked to see him from the side door, and it took a while to enter the Yiwang Mansion, when he first saw Zhao Guicheng, he was startled, Zhao Guicheng, who was originally healthy and steady, now looked yellow as if he was seriously ill, and the clothes he was wearing were not good. When they first met, Zhao Guicheng grabbed his hand and refused to let go for a long time, obviously overly frightened.
If it weren't for his kind words and persuasion, he was afraid that he would have to shout to go back to his hometown in Shaoxing and no longer stay in the capital.
That's the case, when he said goodbye, he was still reluctant, and finally asked himself to greet Prime Minister Shi Cheng, wondering if he could move to Prime Minister Shi Cheng's house to live.
Hearing Yu Tianxi's words, Shi Miyuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "This kid is scared a lot." ”
"I have great respect for the prime minister." Yu Tianxi said with a smile: "Although what you say is childish, it is a pure heart, don't blame you." ”
"It's no wonder, he's just a country kid after all, although he learned some etiquette with Lingtang, but the time is still short." Shi Miyuan smiled faintly: "Pure father, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Xianggong ordered, where to talk about what hard work!" Yu Tianxi said respectfully.
"Some time ago, the Mongols in the north sent an envoy to say that they wanted to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty and join forces to attack gold." Shi Miyuan got what he wanted to know, so he stopped dwelling on the matter, and opened the conversation with a smile: "Pure Father has seen and heard a lot, do you know what this Mongolia is about, which is stronger or weaker than Dajin?" ”
"This military event is beyond the knowledge of students." Yu Tianxi said with a smile: "It's just a rumor that Dajin's move to the south was caused by the Mongol soldiers. ”
"Li Quan and Zhang Lin at Jingdong East Road have sent news that although their national soldiers are sharp, they have plundered and looted in Hebei, and they are approaching Jingdong East Road." Shi Mi is far away.
What he said was already lagging news, and Mongolia was not only approaching Jingdong Road at this time, but even completely undermined the rule of the Jin State in Jingdong Road. Except for the territory under the control of Li Quan and Zhang Lin, almost all the people in the state capital on Jingdong East Road were taken captive.
These civilians were sent to the coast in droves, mainly to Zhigu, where they were loaded onto cao boats, and then rounded the Shandong Peninsula to the East China Sea, which was under Li Quan's control. When they got on board, their families and clans were completely disrupted, because they inevitably cried and cried, and the old and infirm were often slaughtered by the Hulu because they could not sell them at a good price.
Over the years, the Red Jacket Army first started the incident, and then the Hu people intruded, and there was not much population in the area of Jingdong East Road. These people who were taken captive by the Hu people were only trafficked overseas and left their homeland forever, and their wives were separated, so there were a large number of people who sought death on the way. When they arrived in the East China Sea, when they were picked up by the big boat of Liuqiu, they realized that there was still a day to reunite with their families, and almost all of them were grateful.
The first phase of the Tamsui Elementary School and the seventh phase of the Righteous School were also students of the Righteous School, and they had to repeat the words they had learned in the Elementary School to these people, and the Hu people were cruel, begging their masters to remember that God had the virtue of a good life, and they had mercy on the fate of the people of all ethnic groups in the north, so they spent a lot of money to buy their lives from the Hu people, and they should work hard to return to their homeland one day.
In short, the misfortune of these people is all caused by the incompetence of the Jin State government and the tyranny of the grassland Hu people. Most of the teenagers in the first phase of the primary school have a painful experience, and when they talk about their origins, they empathize with these immigrants, and then say that they want to be rich, so that these new immigrants have hope.
Such strategies are strictly based on the strategy set by Zhao and Ju, and it is important to cultivate the loyalty and sense of belonging of new immigrants from the very beginning. At this time, most of the people are simple, where have they undergone such brainwashing indoctrination, although they do not say that they worship the wind, but it is always inevitable to be grateful along the way. Coupled with the fact that those in charge of preaching spared no effort to care for them, although the conditions on board were limited, these newcomers still experienced a different kind of warmth.
Among all of them, Chen Zhaohua is the most special one, he is the second batch of Shi Mo Guangyan "bought" to Liuqiu, originally in the Jin Kingdom, his family was also an official family, but after the Hu people attacked the south, there was nothing. When he was put on board, he made a vow that he would one day avenge this great revenge, a vow that remained firmly in his heart after years of Tamsui. It's just that he knows that he is just a scholar, and the Hu people are standing in line and let him kill him, and he can't kill a few, if he wants revenge, the Jin Kingdom is unreliable, and the Great Song Dynasty, which is inferior to the Jin Kingdom, is even more unreliable, and he can only rely on the power of the island owner. Therefore, in the past few years, he can be said to have sharpened his head and climbed up, trying to get into the upper echelons of Liuqiu, so as to exert influence on Liuqiu, hoping to one day make Liuqiu start a war with the Hu people.
It's just that his skills are limited, although he still has some literary names when he was in the Jin Kingdom, but he is nothing at all. Most of the young officials of the Jin Kingdom who were sent before him were still working as workers in the workshops and workshops under the Liuqiu Manufacturing Bureau, and only a few of them had risen to the middle level of Liuqiu, which was equivalent to the status of the Yixue boy, so where was his turn. He was not discouraged, relying on his ability to write well, do good articles, and be cheeky to tout, he finally discovered Fang Youcai and specialized in doing something to advocate for the flow of new immigrants.
He did this kind of work very well, so he was promoted and became a member of the propaganda department. It was Li Yunrui, who also looked at him differently and showed him a booklet written by Zhao Youju. After Chen Zhaohua learned this booklet, he only felt that he was cheerful in front of him, although he couldn't lift a knife, but the tip of the pen in his hand could be far sharper than a knife, although he couldn't lead the army, but the sound he made could be louder than 100,000 male troops.
"There are still Hu people this time?"
When he saw that among the immigrants in the East China Sea, there were dozens of dejected and skinny Hu people, he asked in surprise.
"Meng Xianyan specially wanted to come, there were originally a hundred in this batch, and more than 30 died on the way." He asked about a person in the sixth phase of Yixue, who specifically negotiated with Shi Mo Guangyan and the Hu people, knowing that he was extremely disgusted with the Hu people, and said with a smile: "We Han people go all the way south, unless our own family is looking for death, otherwise there are only four or five losses among the hundred, this Hu people are not successful, they are not adapted to the water and soil, and they can't stand seasickness, so they die a lot." Don't toss them on the road, if they are all dead, it will be difficult for Meng Xianyan to explain. ”
"I, Chen Yaoxia, am not a person who doesn't know the importance of things, and you also underestimate me." Although he was full of hatred for these Hu people, Chen Zhaohua still suppressed his anger, and he was also a little curious in his heart: "These Hu people even sell their own clan? ”
"The same clan and different tribes, I heard that the Shi Mo officials said that these Hu people were sent by Mobei!"
It turned out that Mu Huali was ordered to operate south of Taihang, and Shi Mo Guangyan traded with him, and the children he captured were young and strong, and all of them were exchanged for gold silk utensils and returned to Mobei. With Temujin's expedition to the west, although they have also gained a lot, how can there be such gold silk utensils to make people happy, and they are quite happy after learning about it. Temujin knew that just a bullet pressure was not the way, so he asked Mu Huali to divide half of the exchange with the western expedition tribes, Mu Huali's own loyalty and self-reliance agreed, but his subordinates did not do it. Shi Mo Guangyan took the opportunity to say, anyway, what the Song people wanted was only miners, it didn't matter if they came from the Jin Kingdom or from the Western Regions, as long as there were people, they could be exchanged for gold silk utensils.
Mu Huali and Temujin's letters were still being passed on the desert, but the news had already arrived in Mobei, and the tribes left behind in the camp were overjoyed, so they took out more than 100 slaves from their headquarters and sent them to Mu Huali, and entrusted Mu Huali to exchange with Shi Ma Guangyan.
The Hu people were still just nomadic robbers at this time, and after Yelu Chucai and the young officials of the Jin State were taken away by Shima Guangyan, although some people persuaded Temujin and Mu Huali to rule the Han land with the Han rule, and keep the Han people young and strong to cultivate for the Hu people's food and clothing. However, although Temujin and Mu Huali were said to be excited, they could not resist the grassland robbers who could only see the tip of their noses with their eyes, and the lack of talents to implement Han law, so they could only remain for the time being.
"I see." Chen Zhaohua's heart moved when he heard this, he ran back and forth with the boat a lot, and naturally knew about the capture of Tamna Island by Si Niangzi, Li Ye, Li Yilao and others, and also knew that the reason for attacking Tamna was to graze cattle and horses for Liuqiu. Then these Hu people are bought shepherd slaves.
This time, they were four large ships, loaded with more than 2,500 immigrants, and after setting out from the East China Sea, they did not pass through the hanging islands and then turn to Liuqiu as before, but sailed eastward on the wind to Tamna. After only six days of travel, I saw Tamna Island.
The fleet docked at the southern end of Tamna, which is called Shanglu Port, which is also the station of the Liuqiu escort in Tamna, and the place name was taken by Yang Miaozhen, she is a rough person, and the name she came up with is naturally not elegant. After several months of operation, by this time the port had been built, and the cement vats were either prefabricated into boards or worn in wooden barrels sealed with tung oil and sent to the land, so that a large stone fort had been built on the land. Six forts were built on the stone fort, and the brick and earth walls protected the forts, and there was enough food and water in them, so that ten thousand people could besiege them, and only a few hundred men needed to defend them.
Although Tamna Island is not large, it also has a land that cannot be taken care of with more than 1,000 escorts, so when developing Tamna, the focus is on the landing port. The development plan was drawn up by Yelu Chucai, with the Shanglu port as the center, and the continuous absorption of natives, and at the same time the transfer of Tamsui and Hu people, so that after three years, there would be one-third of the immigrants registered in Tamsui on Tamna Island. The only thing that limits the speed of freshwater migration is the limited number of local immigrants in freshwater, and in terms of capacity, this is absolutely not a problem.
"The atmosphere is not right."
As soon as he landed, Chen Zhaohua noticed that there was something unusual in this landing port, and after searching for people, he learned that the Goryeo Kingdom had sent an envoy some time ago, threatening to send 400,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 warships, and if they refused to surrender, they would kill all the "barbarians" of all sizes.
"This is interesting...... Chen Zhaohua laughed, he saw that the atmosphere on the land was solemn, and the guards and the infrastructure team members stationed here were a little nervous, so he went to see Li Yilao and Wang Qinian.
Among the two, Wang Qinian was the housekeeper of Tamluo Island designated by Yang Miaozhen, he was originally Zhao Heju's personal guard, the most loyal, and learned good riding skills with the fourth lady, so he was sent. Li Yilao, on the other hand, was in charge of the fort, and only temporarily served as Wang Qinian's deputy, and when the defense of Tamluo Island was sufficient, he would return to Hanging Island. Hearing that Chen Zhaohua asked to see him, the two of them were extremely surprised, because they belonged to the escort team and had little contact with Chen Zhaohua, who was in charge of civil affairs.
"Invite him to come, it is said that he has been doing a lot of work among new immigrants this year." Wang Qinian said: "Since he asked to see him, there must be something." ”
"It's a pity that the trial is still begging, otherwise you and I don't need to worry about these government affairs, we just have to deal with the Koreans." Li Yilao smiled bitterly: "I thought that the Goryeo people would not react so quickly, if it was two months later, they would come, and this Tamna was also managed by us as solid, but at this time, ...... It just so happened that the new immigrants used this Tamna as a transit for the first time, and everything came together! ”
Chen Zhaohua saw the two of them, and after giving the salute, his first sentence was amazing: "The two of you are worried about the Koreans, and I am here to relieve the worries of the two!" ”
Wang Qinian and Li Yilao glanced at each other, and they both felt a little surprised, and this person also spoke a little bigger.
"I saw the official of Shi Mo in the East China Sea, and I learned from him about it, and when you two hear it, you will no longer have any worries." Chen Zhaohua said with a smile.
Note 1: In June of the 14th year of the Mongol Taizu (1219), Genghis Khan led an army of 200,000 troops to the west on the pretext that Khorezm had killed his envoy.
