Hearing the quarrel in the courtyard, Zhao Xiaoyi hurriedly got dressed and came out.

"What's the matter, why did you quarrel so early in the morning!"

Zhao Xiaoyi is a person that people are happy to get along with, but not here in Chen Chuntang, her fair skin and high nose bridge make Chen Chuntang feel a little ashamed. It can be said that from the moment he saw Zhao Xiaoyi, Chen Chuntang regarded her as the biggest threat.

These two women both live in the palace, what does it have to do with the prince Zhao Rui, isn't it an obvious thing!

But Xiao Yi is nominally a female official after all, and she is in charge of big and small things, and some of the things that Chen Chuntang needs are all from Xiao Yi.

"Humph! Miss Xiaoyi, the rules of your palace really opened my eyes! I can't even call her here, is she too dismissive of me, the princess! ”

Chen Chuntang felt ignored and felt that he should find something to do, otherwise the people in the entire palace would think that he was easy to bully, that would not work, he was the princess, and the basic rules in the palace still had to be established!

Xiao Yi looked helpless, this Jiaozhi princess couldn't figure out the situation, and she thought that she could instruct Arjuna at will? This is something that even Zhao Xiaoyi can't do.

Looking at the two of them, Chen Chuntang was surprised, pointed to Arjuna and asked Xiaoyi.

"What? You can't control her either? ”

Xiao Yi shook his head silently.

"Heh......"

Chen Chuntang knew that Xiao Yi was useless, so he ignored her, turned his head to Arjuna and said, "Why are you so arrogant? Do you have a prominent family background? ”

"Get out of the way!" Arjuna was going to training, and she didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so she squeezed through their barriers as she spoke, and walked towards the door.

Arjuna's strength is incomparable to that of an ordinary man, Chen Chuntang flicked her arm and fell on the maids in surprise.

"Bastard ......"

Chen Chuntang and the two maids scolded together in the direction of Arjuna's departure.

Xiao Yi shook her head helplessly, feeling that it was time for this Jiaozhi princess to restrain herself.

"She is Arjuna, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, if you talk about family background, you really can't compare to her." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, she went to work on herself.

Miscellaneous...... What the?

Princess Dayuan?

Chen Chuntang was completely shocked, why would a princess of Dayuan live in Zhao Rui's palace? What is their relationship?

What kind of national strength is Jiaozhi, it is not as good as the Great Yuan Dynasty at all, and now the Southern Song Dynasty is going to be captured by the Yuan Dynasty, and his little Jiaozhi is nothing!

It is said that the Tartar kills without blinking, but fortunately she didn't burst out and kill just now, it's really dangerous!

Xia Guixian led the troops to be frustrated, but he didn't dare to delay the things explained by the Taishi, thinking that Zhao Rui was about to come back, so he hurriedly transferred troops to the states and counties in the east in the name of the Taishi.

In the end, only a thousand people were recruited.

There's no way, let's go to Yongping Village and act on the opportunity!

Xia Gui first told the soldiers below the strategy and asked them to follow the order, and then a group of more than 1,000 people came to Yongping Village.

Yongping Village does not have a city wall, but a wall erected by wood trunks and the like, which is guarded by guards.

Hearing that someone from the imperial court was coming, the guards hurried to inform Ma Yue.

At this time, Zhao Rui was discussing with Ma Yue about reclaiming wasteland in various places, and with the inflow of more and more people, the current arable land is gradually decreasing.

I heard that the guards came to report that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were coming, and there were only more than 1,000 people.

Zhao Rui couldn't help but smile at Ma Yue, don't think about this, it must be someone sent by Jia Yidao, but what are these more than a thousand people doing? It's just a joke.

"Ma Yue, you can deal with him here, I'm going back to Dabao City."

"Lord Wang, that's a general sent by the imperial court, do you think I can handle it myself?"

"Come on, you!" Zhao Rui said with a smile: "It is estimated that this person has been sold and will help you count the money!" ”

In comparison, Ma Yue's IQ is simply at the crushing level, Zhao Rui handed over Yongpingzhai to Ma Yue is really 10,000 reassuring, there is Ma Yue in strategy, and there is Xiong Da in force, Zhao Rui feels that the rear is unprecedentedly stable.

At present, the Yuan army is no longer going south, and Jiaozhi is seeking peace, in such a temporarily stable situation, Zhao Rui feels that he should investigate what industries are suitable for development within his territory.

This project really needs to be well studied, it must be low-cost, and it must be much ahead of the times, and it is also a thing that people all over the world usually need, only in this way will it make a large profit, and it will also be the basis for the future king.

For example, in the Industrial Revolution, Britain relied on the primitive accumulation of textiles in the early stage, and later used steam engines to drive textile machines, and obtained cheaper textiles.

Zhao Rui is not so troublesome, he can directly buy electrified equipment with the advantage of crossing the modern era, and determining what products to make is the top priority.

Ma Yue did not go to the Zhaimen first, but went to Xiong Da and took 5,000 soldiers to greet the people from the imperial court.

Xia Gui rode a tall horse first, and when he was waiting impatiently at the gate of the village, the gate slowly opened.

Just as he was about to wave his troops in, when he looked up, he saw the dense soldiers inside the door, Xia Guixian's heart suddenly cooled half, and he brought the troops to come, indicating that the people inside were guarded!

I'm afraid that Zhao Rui has already told his subordinates about the contradiction between himself and the Taishi......

Xia Guixian and Ma Yue introduced each other, but their eyes had already swept to these soldiers in Yongping Village, seeing that about forty percent of them were holding muskets, and the other six percent were holding bows and arrows.

It seems that there are not so many muskets...... This is the only thing that Xia Guixian is happy about.

Subsequently, Xia Guixian took advantage of his good communication skills and praised Ma Yue for running this place well, lying that he was sent by Emperor Zhao Yuan to inspect the territory, and then to learn the tactics of musketeers.

The internal communication was understandable, and Ma Yue took him to a martial arts training ground on the edge of the village.

The place where the road passes is a main road in Yongping Village, the shops and houses on both sides are in good order, and the bluestone paved ground is also extremely clean. The people who come and go are neatly dressed, with a smile on their faces, it is a scene of peace and prosperity, no wonder everyone in Yongzhou says that Yongping Village is good, it seems that there is really something commendable.

But no matter how good a small village is, the territory is small and the population is small, and a random impact can be shattered.

When they arrived at the martial arts arena, Ma Yue asked the soldiers to show shooting and archery respectively, both of which were accurate for everyone to hit the bull's-eye. This surprised Xia Guixian, not to mention the musket, but for bow and arrow, he had never seen so many soldiers with accurate archery in so many years in the army.

What he didn't know was that the bows and arrows of the Tartars were excellent, not comparable to the bows and arrows of the Southern Song Dynasty, and besides, the modern training of the soldiers far surpassed the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty in terms of quality and strength.

Xia Guixian's ghost thoughts did not stop for a moment, the organizational structure here seemed to be separated from the military and the government, and the general called Xiong Da stood far away, and did not come up to communicate at all.

"Master Ma, since the two armies are exchanging today, it is a rare opportunity, how about we hold a banquet? I'll pay for the wine, let's get drunk with the soldiers! ”

Ma Yue saw Xia Guixian's hot eyes staring at the musket earlier, and guessed his purpose in his heart, and said: "I'm sorry, General Xia, our prince has an order, except for major festivals, the whole army is not allowed to drink, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law!" ”

"Oh, that's a pity......"

Xia Guixian sneered, feeling that Yongping Village was as strong as an iron plate, and he led a group of state soldiers with little combat power, and there was no possibility of winning at all, even if it was a sneak attack, I was afraid that it would not succeed.

"By the way, what about your prince?" Xia Guixian asked deliberately.

"Oh, I've been back for a few days, and now I'm going to Dabao City."

What the? Already back?

Xia Guixian couldn't help but be surprised, he was riding a horse to run wild to have such a fast speed, Zhao Rui came back faster than himself, could it be that he used to fly?

"But...... Where is Da Bao Cheng? ”

The second monk of Xia Guixian was at a loss, and he really hadn't heard of a city with this name.

Ma Yue felt in his heart that Taishi might not have realized Zhao Rui's strength at all because of the closed news, so he deliberately revealed it to Xia Guixian just now.

"Dabaocheng is the original Langzhou, the first city captured by our prince, and the name was changed to commemorate the victory."

"What!"

Xia Guixian was a little stammered, and asked in surprise: "You mean that Zhao Rui has already captured the city of Jiaozhi Kingdom?" ”

Now that the Yuan army is moving south, Xia Guixian didn't expect Zhao Rui to have the courage to provoke Jiaozhi.

"Oh? Didn't General Xia know? How could we only capture one city, as well as Wenzhou, Luzhou, Hulang and Wanyazhou, and by the way, we also captured Anbang Prefecture a few days ago. ”

Xia Guixian's jaw was shocked, what is Zhao Rui going to do, is it to occupy Jiaozhi? What the Song Dynasty had not done before, he actually captured many cities in such a short time.

Isn't that a little too powerful......

In an instant, Xia Guixian was a little unintentional, he wanted to take a walk, take a look, and see what the situation of those occupied cities was like under Zhao Rui's control.

Taishi is definitely a light enemy, according to Zhao Rui's current strength, even if the Song Dynasty army is dispatched, it may not be able to wipe him out. Langzhou City has been a dangerous place since ancient times, easy to defend for Jiaozhi, and difficult to attack for the Southern Song Dynasty.

It wasn't that there was no harassment by the Jiaozhi people before, but whenever the Southern Song Dynasty sent troops, these Jiaozhi people hid in the city of Langzhou, and the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty immediately had nothing to do, so they had to watch the Jiaozhi people arrogantly on the city wall.

But now Zhao Rui not only captured Langzhou, but also won four or five cities in Jiaozhi, which is simply incredible!

Zhao Rui returned to Dabao City, but he knew that Princess Jiaozhi was waiting in the palace, and he was reluctant to go, but first went to the two small cities of Wenzhou and Luzhou to inspect the people's conditions and environment, and it was bound to find out the products suitable for the territorial advantages in the shortest possible time.

Xia Guixian was shocked, Ma Yue didn't agree to leave him for dinner, saying that there were still military affairs to be dealt with in Yongzhou City, so he led a team of 1,000 people out of Yongping Village.

These state soldiers are a little inexplicable, didn't they say that they were going to fight a war, and they were going to secretly attack, why did they come out after a walk?

In fact, after some of them saw the training of the Yongpingzhai army, they also beat the drum in their hearts, and felt that there was no possibility of defeat.
