All the newly joined Dock Castle Masters were looking at Xu Shiyang with looking up.

And Xu Shiyang was also looking at them.

What is slightly different is that Xu Shiyang is considering what attitude to use to face these new joiners and other dock owners who may "new joining" in the future.

According to his previous thoughts, it would be better to unite all these people together through the exchange of interests, and form a close alliance headed by himself.

Instead of what Xu Muhe did, he forcibly annexed and artificially created a gap within the alliance.

Xu Shiyang doesn't want to fight this kind of meaningless war now, in his eyes, all the Han people in Jiangbei should be united, after all, everyone is already so miserable, and only by uniting can it be possible to save the world.

His original plane, there were two major turning points in history, one was not because of the disunity and even habitual infighting between the various forces resisting the Tartars, which resulted in the Tartars occupying the world.

Three hundred years later, at a time when the nation was at stake, the great party chose to unite all the forces that could be united to resist foreign humiliation, thus achieving a brilliant victory.

The different results of the two major historical stages have always influenced Xu Shiyang, who used to be a history buff.

He also once imagined that even without the help of transcending the times, at the end of the Ming Dynasty in another plane, if the King of Jin, the King of Yanping County, and Li Laiheng and other remnants of the lineage could unite as one, they might not be able to save the day.

However, they just can't be united, and even have a faintly hostile relationship with each other, which not only seriously depletes the already inferior anti-enemy forces, but also gives the enemy every opportunity to break through.

Xu Shiyang didn't think that his troops could become the TG of another time and space, and the peak of light infantry that could withstand the world's first air force and hard armor troops.

Therefore, he hopes to avoid the sad scene of the late Ming Dynasty when foreign enemies were rampant, but he was still in internal strife.

This was the basis of all of Xu Shiyang's previous policies, for which he avoided starting a unified war to annex the other dock forts as much as possible, until the former head of the Xu family, his own uncle, was conclusively guilty of defecting to the enemy, and he forced him to abdicate, and even then he left behind several brothers in the Changfang system.

Later, when he expanded his territory, he also chose to form an alliance, so that other tyrant families in the alliance could also obtain some benefits, so as to maintain the unity of this alliance.

The implementation of this policy was surprisingly slow, but Xu Shiyang thought that he had avoided the attrition of the civil war, which was acceptable.

However, after seeing these outer dock castle masters today, Xu Shiyang found that his thoughts might be a little wrong.

For example, he always thought that it was in the best interest of the Dock Castle Lord, who was the equivalent of a petty warlord, to maintain his independence.

Forcing them to join an alliance and requiring them to act according to uniform standards should be a large bargain in exchange.

But Xu Muhe's approach is completely different from Xu Shiyang's idea, and the quid pro quo he gave to the outer dock lord is actually this: join me, I won't destroy you, and if you don't join me, I will take the initiative to attack you.

As a result, it now seems, the results are actually good.

Xu Muhe relied on the prestige of defeating the Tartars to gather the Wubao lords of Qingzhou, which really came to most of them, if it weren't for the late arrival of the Wubao lords in the north of Qingzhou when they heard the news, and the time set by the Xu family was too urgent, they might not have become the enemies of the Qingzhou army (Xu Shiyang highly suspected that Dad was deliberately creating an enemy by doing this).

In the subsequent war, the newly joined dock lord did not go well, and Xu Muhe killed more than a dozen dock lord in the alliance to make an example, and the others did not have obvious resistance.

Xu Shiyang speculated that this may be because of the chaos in Jiangbei for more than ten years, causing most people to prefer to accept a tyrant and want peace?

After all, Xu Shiyang, who had been to Jiangnan, saw very clearly that the life of the owner of Jiangbei Wubao may be much worse than that of the small and medium-sized landlords in Jiangnan.

What's going on with that hypocritical statement?

Is the worst unity better than the best division?

Feeling that the time to look at each other was almost up, Xu Muhe, who was the self-proclaimed envoy of the Qingzhou Festival, was the first to ask:

"Shi Yang, is there any urgency to gather everyone in a hurry?"

"Father, and all of you. I have just returned from Gangnam, and here, I would like you to make a few announcements. ”

Xu Shiyang ended thinking, stood up and said loudly:

"First, there was a big case in Jiangnan, and more than 50 people from the envoy group sent by the Tartars to the imperial court have all been killed."

There was a buzz at the scene, and everyone was speculating about what was going on in this court.

Why did you suddenly become so violent, killing the Tartar envoys?

Is this really what the imperial court can do?

However, some people who reacted relatively quickly immediately looked up at Xu Shiyang.

If you want to talk about killing Tartars, the young man in front of him can be said to be the current No. 1 in the Great Zhou, right?

Moreover, he had just returned from Jiangnan .......

Xu Shiyang didn't explain much, just continued:

"No matter what the imperial court thinks, the Tartars may retaliate wildly next, I'm not sure that the Tartars can enter Jiangnan, but there is no way, we are the first to bear the brunt of Qi Province."

"Get ready, get ready for the biggest Tartar assault in more than a decade!"

……

Northern.

Due to the distance, the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong still does not know what is happening in Jiangnan.

The last news that the Jin Emperor and the Jurchen nobles received from the envoys was that the Great Zhou had basically agreed to the proposal of the proximity, but the two sides still had some disputes over the population to marry.

The good thing is that the money aspect is completely fine.

Even those main battle factions who are clamoring for the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains seem to be fighting for only the annual coins first, and then discuss the number of people who marry with relatives.

Does this little trick of apparently dragging on time work?

Of course not, it only makes sense to delay time if you have the strength to change the situation.

For example, for Daikin, because of the wealth of 2.1 million taels (including 500,000 yuan for marrying relatives) to be expected, many things that were not dared to do before can now be executed.

In the eleventh year of Jintianhui, Zhou Jianxing was the eighth day of June in the thirteenth year.

The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu Qimai, personally led tens of thousands of troops on the Northern Expedition and launched a major war with the Sauron people (who were also part of the Shengjurchen) in the Heilong River Valley in the north.

When the Jurchens made up their minds, they really had no ability to fight against it.

As a result of the war, the Saurons suffered a crushing defeat, and the Jin army swept across the entire Heilong River Valley, destroying the tribes and farmlands of the Saurons.

Killed tens of thousands of people, including Bomu Boguo Er himself, plundered 7,000 Dingkou, and distributed them to each Bo Ji to replenish the losses.

After returning victorious, Wanyan Wu Qimai ordered the collection of all grain and grass, and the various departments rested for a month to prepare for the westward expedition, first removing the threat of the Western Tatars.
