Wan Qiyong waved his hand to let the Vietnamese retreat, and introduced to Shuai Fan while cleaning up the papers: "Those are not Vietnamese, they are from Cam Ranh City, you led 5,000 locals to attack and occupy the king city, and later, the 5,000 locals who followed you all made a lot of money. Now, each of them has become a small official of Jinlan because of their merits, and by the way, they have also helped us master the entire territory of Jinran......"

Wan Qianyong shook the letters, and then said: "My lord means to let Jinlan City come forward to sign a document with us, allowing our Guangnan Navy to use Jinlan City as a garrison...... Well, adults say it's called the Lend-Lease Act.

The Act stipulates that Cam Ranh will lease its harbor to us for ten gold coins per year, and will be responsible for the maintenance of our garrison, while our soldiers will be responsible for the protection of Cam Ranh City, the maintenance of law and order, and military security...... They were submitting the document on behalf of Cam Ranh City, which was a contract that had just been signed. Are you looking for an adult, I'll go too, just looking for an adult to stamp this article. ”

Shuai Fan rolled his eyes at Wan Qiyong again and again.

Those people who occupy the city of Jinlan "established" military exploits, what military exploits? It's just that they went to the royal city with the Great Song army, and afterwards each of them enjoyed the treatment of the Great Song army and took away the treasure equal to their weight from the royal city. After this incident, those local soldiers were heavily branded by the Song people, and they had to stand with the Song army and try their best to maintain the submission of the local people. Recently, the Quang Nam Naval Division had begun to withdraw from Cam Ranh ----formerly Bintong City, leaving only a hundred Song troops to maintain nominal deterrence. The Song merchants of the Nanyang Alliance followed suit, employing the 5,000 local soldiers who had participated in the plundering of the royal city to maintain order. Later, Zhao Xing sent several students and a group of Israelis to plan and manage the property of Cam Ranh City for him. Now he's got the Lend-Lease Act in his hand again.

has been by Zhao Xing's side for a long time, Shuai Fan has already understood Zhao Xing's twists and turns, and he mentioned the matter of Guangnan to the imperial court, which was to use the imperial court to contain Vietnam; Now for this Lend-Lease Act. It is to use Quang Nam's military power to contain the locals of Cam Ranh City, and at the same time to deter Vietnam. With such checks and balances, the Vietnamese had to take care of the Great Song forces behind Zhao Xing, and they easily did not dare to get involved in the affairs south of Cam Ranh.

Nowadays, the situation in the city is simply very good for the Great Song Dynasty. It has been five months since the destruction of the city state, and in these five months, Zhao Xing has successfully eliminated the resentment of the people in Jinlan. The main reason for this phenomenon lies in Vietnam. Vietnam had a feud with Champa after the destruction of the Champa state. Vietnam spared no effort to pursue a genocidal revenge policy, they packed entire villages of Champa people and sold them as slaves, and then relocated the Vietnamese into the homes of the former Champa people, began to farm, and enjoyed the fertile land.

Under these circumstances, the area south of Cam Ranh, which ruled relatively gently, became the only way of survival for the people of Champa, who traveled through the dense forest with their families. Trekked to the southern part of Cam Ranh and settled down with relatives and friends. Their arrival spread the atrocities of Vietnam throughout Cam Ranh. In contrast, the people of Zhancheng who live in Cam Ranh are only happy.

After Zhao Xing occupied the southern part of Cam Ranh. Due to the lack of manpower preparation, his rule over the southern part of Cam Ranh still relied on the 5,000 Champa soldiers, because this was an overseas enclave, so Zhao Xing only wanted to move the headquarters of the South Seas Alliance to Cam Ranh, so that this commercial alliance would be the same as the East India Company in the future, and then the huge profits brought by the monopoly would become his weapon to conquer the South Seas. After all, the Nanyang Alliance is a commercial alliance, and it does not do things that are not profitable, and does not do things that are too costly, and then trade brings huge profits. They did not even think of taxing the peasants on a few copper plates, and as a result, the Champa people who fled to the south of Cam Ranh were more comfortable than they had been under the former Champa king---- because they did not pay harsh taxes.

After that, although there were some stubborn nostalgic people among the people of Champa, no matter how good Zhao Xing was to them, they still missed the era of the king's rule. However, even these people with resentment. I also have to be in awe of the splendor of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. As Zhao Xing spared no effort to implement the psychological warfare methods of cultural radiation, those who were the most stubborn gradually weakened their minds to resistI only dare to complain that the people's hearts are not ancient, the king is dead, the country is ruined, and there are not many martyrs.

At the same time, after the war, the white merchants who were still in Guangzhou affirmed that Zhao Xing had the ability to escort the convoy with arms, and their minds now shifted to the African routes in Zhao Xing's hands, some of them kept urging Zhao Xing to officially enter the Indian Ocean, and some of them were secretly liaising with each other, preparing to raise funds to buy the nautical charts in Zhao Xing's hands.

Under such a favorable situation, Guangdong officials began to pursue an elegant Song-style banquet life, and Wan Qianyong and Shuai Fan chatted easily while walking amid the music and wine orders in the front yard. When they walked into the backyard, they saw Zhao Xing using a guillotine knife to cut grass shirtless, he saw his henchman coming, only paused slightly, his eyes swept over the file in Wan Qianyong's hand, nodded slightly, made a gesture, signaled the two to wait a little, put away the hay he had done, and walked to the stable with it.

Zhao Xing was willing to do this kind of cheap labor, but the two staff members didn't mean to help, Wan Qiyong waved the file, Shuai Fan hugged his arms, and said slowly: "If the people of Zhancheng know that the adults are now idle to feed the horses...... Well, if those people in the court knew that the adults were idle to take care of the mounts, they didn't know what to think. ”

Zhao Xing slapped the broken grass on his body, walked out of the stable, he took the file in Wan Qianyong's hand, turned a few pages casually, and returned the file to Wan Qianyong, and instructed: "For Jinlan, we have forgotten one thing......

After a pause, Zhao Xing said word by word: "Religion! The kings of Champa believed in Hinduism because Buddhism, a polytheistic religion, was unable to cope with the invasion of monotheistic religion ---- Islam, so they launched a new god of their own: Lord Shiva.

We are also going to erect a religion of our own, and you tell An Sida to send some disciples to build temples in the southern part of the Champa country, and tell him that I will build a grand bell tower and a Confucian temple in every town. Use our former state religion and our cultural advantages to completely conquer that land. I want to convince them that they are Song people......"

Wan Qianyong nodded: "Zhang hasn't left yet, the boat he did will only anchor tomorrow morning." Now send someone to go, and if you are still in time, let Zhang's entourage bring a letter to An Sida and ask him to send some disciples. ”

"At least a thousand!" Zhao Xingshi opened his mouth widely, he clapped his hands, and asked Wan Qianyong again: "How is the Kunlun slave in the city country?" ”

Zhao Xing used a traditional word "Kunlun slave" here to replace the people of Zhancheng State, Wan Qian Yong understood it, and immediately said: "It has been screened, Dayue is really ruthless." Of the 500,000 Kunlun slaves who sold us land, 110,000 of them knew how to build stones, and among the rest of the people, there were 30,000 who knew other techniques, and even those who made Tianzhu steel (Uzi steel). ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "Hurry up and assign them." Now all the states and counties are going to renovate the official buildings, and they plan to replace all the official buildings with stone and repair a few more glass windows, which just so happens to save us money with this batch of labor. The rest were sold to various workshops. Let's pick our soldiers first. Kunlun slaves, who can only do farm work, let them go to help the road builders farm. Quang Nam has a small population, which can solve a big problem. ”

None of the three people raised the issue of money, in fact, after Zhao Xing's first batch of treasures sent to Bianliang was misvalued, he immediately adjusted his strategy when he got the news, and the remaining treasures had been concealed by him, and he planned to spend all this money in Guangnan to improve the infrastructure of the entire Guangdong and Guangxi.

Now Zhao Xing is not short of money, what he lacks is manpower. Shuai Fan could also feel the lack of manpower, and he looked at Wan Qianyong. He looked around again, and said cautiously and softly: "My lord, after this campaign, the Yi people of Guangxi are very enthusiastic to join the army, and many families have come to Guangdong to enlist...... My lord. Can you support the army from elsewhere? For example, lakes and mountains ......"

At the mention of the word "lake and mountain", the muscles on Zhao Xing's face jumped slightly. .... Wan Qiyong turned his face away, pretending to enjoy the scenery in the courtyard. Shuai Fan knew that Zhao Xing's taboo had been touched, and he held his breath and waited for an answer.

Zhao Xing asked slowly: "Who else knows?" ”

Shuai Fan replied very refreshingly: "My lord, the two of us will follow you in Yangzhou, although I don't know the specific content, but a strong army appears around the adult from time to time, and it disappears in an instant." These people always need literature to travel through the state and county, and in the past few years, if we can't even notice this, won't we become blind.

Don't worry, adults, we vaguely guessed that those soldiers were led by me, and they could guess how much they could not leave ten, but outsiders would never know...... Hmph, what if outsiders know about this situation now? ”

Zhao Xing's eyes swept Wan Qianyong out of the corner of his eyes, Wan Qianyong nodded slightly, but his head was twisted to the side, pretending not to hear what he had just said, and the action of bowing his head was purely subconscious.

Zhao Xing's gaze turned back again, observing Shuai Fan's expression, Shuai Fan nodded, his gaze firm.

"Okay, I don't want to hide this from you, after all, you are the people next to me--- but the soldiers of Hushan can't move, especially after the battle of Zhancheng, I feel more and more that Hushan's troops can't be used.

Frankly speaking, there are now a total of 2,400 Huaiyong in Hushan, all of whom are musketeers. That barren mountainous area can only support so many people, and if there are more, I am afraid that others will find out.

This force is what I use to deal with the chaos in the north. So it is easy not to use. First, 2,000 soldiers are not of great use, and second, the situation in the north is becoming more and more dangerous. For example, this year, the Xia soldiers captured Huizhou, or in the spring, what does this mean---- it means occupation.

In autumn, the fall of the city meant a war of raids. Because in the autumn, everything is collected in the warehouse or transshipped and sealed, and although there is a lot of harvest after the victory, if you want to occupy this place, you will have to wait until the spring ploughing of the next year. The occupation in the spring was different, when the occupation was occupied, people could be immediately transferred from the rear to plough, and the wheat in the fields was planted, and after more than half a year, the peasants who owned the land would desperately defend their harvest, and it would be difficult to regain that land.

With the speed of the imperial court's response, Huizhou fell this year, and it would not be until next year to arrange a counterattack, at this time, the Tangut people had been cultivating that land for a year and had implemented a year of land administration. Therefore, the hearts of the local people in Huizhou are no longer on the side of the imperial court, and they want to take back that land, even if we win. It also took a lot of effort to pacify the people of that land.

The Xixia people are engaged in a policy of encroachment, encroaching on the land of the Great Song Dynasty little by little, while the Liao people in the north have been hit by Mizhou's economic policy to rot their roots. At present, there is the Liao State as the northern barrier, and my Great Song Dynasty is a little better, but what if, a more ferocious force re-emerges in the northern grasslands?

This time the southern expedition occupied the city, and the places I chose were all strong Yi people. These Yi people are still very accustomed to jungle life, but the non-combat attrition is still above 100. What if this time it was not the Yi people in the south who went to war, but the Huai people, Shandong people, Hebei people, and Qin people in the north?

The northerners are transferred to the south, and if they fight this battle, they will definitely suffer a big loss. So what will happen to the southerners who are transferred to the north? Southerners are short. When they met tall northerners, they all rode war horses; Coupled with the dry climate in the north and the cold nights, can the physique of the southerners adapt to fighting in the north?

Therefore, the Huai people cannot be transferred south. Those 2,400 men were my last defense against chaos in the north. Nowadays, the imperial court is still relying on the chapter. What about after the chapter? After him, if there is chaos in the north, we can only be transferred. And what do we rely on? Relying on those forbidden armies ---- a group of armed actors; The Xiang army ---- just a group of farmers.

In the face of the cavalry from the north, we can only rely on those 2,400 men, and these people cannot be transferred south. The only way we can do this is to tap into the local resources. ”

Zhao Xing said, clapped his finger and pointed at Guangxi, and said: "There are still soldiers in Guangxi, I checked Guo Kui's stay, when he attacked Vietnam." There are 30,000 or 40,000 private troops in Guangxi, and these private armies belong to the local tyrants in Guangxi. Guo Kui was fighting in full swing in front, but he couldn't mobilize these Guangxi private troops. But we are different, we can squeeze out a team of at least 10,000 people.

Didn't the Shuai Jian Si just say that there are many families in Guangxi---- all of them are recruited, they are all incorporated into the Xiang Army, let them supervise the construction of roads by slaves, and give them the best treatment. Let them be coveted by others. Squeeze out the owner of the village...... Next, we will cancel the private army order in Guangdong......

And also. I intend to re-state the "Contract Law" that Guangnan East Road will respect the sacredness of the contract in accordance with the criminal system of the Emperor and Song Dynasty...... In addition, I also want to reaffirm the sanctity of property rights, and tell the people that if you hand over your private army, I will protect your property---- private property is sacrosanct, and I will never allow anyone to encroach on other people's property, even the government. In this era, Zhao Xing took the opportunity to introduce these two laws, although it is a local method, but there is no obstacle to the times. Because this is the best of times, it is only one step away from the universal laws of modern civilization. Because the Great Song Dynasty's respect for property and contracts was rare in ancient China, for example, with Lu Huiqing's strength, after the ticket bank refused to take out a loan, he could only stare dryly; For example, with the ruthlessness of Yizhang, he was accused of the royal writ for occupying the peasants' fields, and he could only swallow and spit and endure the punishment of the imperial court.

Therefore, the two people present were not shocked by Zhao Xing's proposal, and Wan Qianyong also keenly discovered the key to it: "Yes, recently, some overseas stranded Song businessmen have come to Jinglusi Yamen to inquire about settlement, and the adults have launched this strategy, which can allow them to settle in Guangdong with peace of mind." This is a local policy, as long as they settle in Quang Nam, we will protect his property. In this case, do they have any other choice---- but to settle in Guangdong. ”

Shuai Fan clapped his hands and said: "Yes, those businessmen stranded overseas are all rich people, who have accumulated savings over the years, have a lot of money, and all have a skill, they come to us with money and technology, as long as we promise to protect their property, they settle here, open factories and workshops, recruit workers and pay taxes...... It's hard for me to be rich in Guangdong. ”

Zhao Xing has always been accustomed to dangling carrots to tempt others to join him in the same party, after this instruction, the first to jump out was Guangxi, with a huge number of overseas stranded Song merchants returned to China and chose to settle in Guangdong, Zhang Tian jumped out, announced that Guangxi followed Guangdong, but also implemented the "Contract Law" and "Property Rights Protection Law", and then, the coastal states and counties also woke up, and they announced together that overseas Song merchants were allowed to settle in Benzhou......

After that, the restrictions imposed by the Great Song Dynasty on the overseas travel period of Song merchants existed in name only.

At that time, these two policies had not yet shown their power in other ways, and most officials only guessed that this was a means for Zhao Xing to attract capital and wealthy merchants, and many years later, when Song Huizong began to loot Huashigang, it occurred to everyone that they had a weapon in their hands to deal with this kind of property embezzlement......

At that time, Wan Qiyong and Shuai Fan were at the venue, and they didn't notice that Zhao Xing was hiding in the depths of their hearts. Shuai Fan only focused on military issues, and urged: "My lord, those feudal merchants really can't wait, let's talk about it." For our road construction, the asphalt needed has to be transported from Shaanxi, the quantity is small and the price is expensive, and the new road has simply become gold, don't you say that there are also oil mines in Nanyang?

To transport and transport goods, a horse can only carry 200 catties of things, but a ship can carry 1,000 materials. Horses have to graze, but boats don't. If there were oil mines in the South Seas, the asphalt we used to pave the roads would be much cheaper. ”

Zhao Xing slapped his thigh. He said, "Why did I forget this---- by the way, Bo Ni, we should go and see Bo Ni." In the Battle of Champa, the navy won a small victory, which is really not something to be proud of, because they have not been through a cruel battle at all, and I will lead them to take a circle around Boni. Let them train in coordination at sea, and fleet firepower.

Shuai Jian Division, this time you stay, quickly organize our ground army and gunmen to supervise the construction of roads. I personally led the team to Nanyang to hang around......"

At this time, in the banquet hall in front, the singing and dancing were getting louder and louder, mixed with bursts of cheers in the middle.

Zhao Xing's housekeeping team is famous in Guangzhou, because he has Liao Xiaoxiao and Kasli training, and this piece of silk pipe is the top in Guangdong. In the faint sound of elegant music, the three people in the backyard were talking about the killing in a gentle manner, and no one was surprised by the scene.

This is July 9.

This month is not a memorable day, because most historians in later generations have simply evaluated Zhao Xing's actions for a whole year as revenge for the war. Or a demonstration of force.

Previously, Zhao Xing and Jiaozhi joined forces to destroy the Champa State, and they all agreed that this was the repeated attack on Zhao Xing by pirates of the Champa State, which made this short-tempered official, who has always been known as "unprovoked", strayed into the Champa State in the counterattack, and happened to encounter Jiaozhi to send troops to retaliate, and as a result, he took shit luck and exterminated a dynasty that had existed for thousands of years......

As for why Jiaozhi coordinated with Zhao Xing to send troops. It's understandable. One of Zhao Xing's wives is Jiaozhi. The husband was repeatedly angry, and Da Song was slow to react. The wife jumped out to vent her anger for her husband and sent her own foreign family soldiers into battle...... It's not a big deal.

This seems to be borne out by the reaction of the Song court, which spent the next few years intermittently allocating compensation money to Guangnan East Road under various names---- of course, more taxes from Guangdong. These compensation funds were used to compensate for the losses of Song Shang Haimao, and later, Zhao Xing used the money to set up the world's first insurance company: Guangnan Haimao Insurance Division.

And the Bintong King, the Great Song Dynasty also gave a very generous treatment, this prince in the Great Song Dynasty, the grade is only equivalent to a city lord, but the Great Song Dynasty used the treatment of the prince to raise him and his family for life, for his captive, the imperial court did not carry out the customary "sacrifice of the prisoner Taimiao", which shows that the Great Song Dynasty is still a gentleman, and it did not think of destroying the other party's country, only because the other party was attacked by Jiaozhi and the country perished, because there was no way back, so it was enshrined.

For Zhao Xing's subsequent dispatch of troops to the muddy action in this year, the Great Song Dynasty gentlemen have a lot of reasons to prove that this is by no means the beginning of the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty......

"I'm here to do business", Zhao Xing held a teacup and looked at the officials of the Bo Ni Kingdom who came to greet him with a smile, and when he said this, the rumbling cannon sound seemed to be a commentary for his words. Zhao Xing only paused slightly, listened to the sound of the cannon, and immediately reprimanded: "Stupid, is there such a **?" How many times have I told you how to use artillery fire, there is direct firepower, there is deterrent firepower, there is attack fire, there is pincer fire...... What I asked you to fight was pincer fire, how did you hit the ship directly. ”

The official of the Bo Ni Kingdom looked embarrassed, and interjected: "My lord, you are from the Song Kingdom, and you have been attacking our fishing boats all the way, but you said that you are here to do business, do you plan to pay with fire and steel?" ”

Zhao Xing first nodded apologetically, motioned to the other party to wait, and then turned around and reprimanded the naval officials beside him: "What does it mean to clamp firepower, it is required to hit one cannon in front of the ship, one cannon in the back of the ship, and use artillery fire to seal the opponent's action---- in other words, this cannonball, you must not be accurate!"

Wait a minute, my lord, when I finish training this group of fools---- they are really a group of fools, every time I let them not be sure, they will shoot the guns accurately.

It's all money, you know what that canoe is made of, mahogany, mahogany. For such a canoe, a two-hundred-year-old tree must be chosen, burned out of the cabin in the middle with fire, and then planed...... Hundred-year-old mahogany, used to make furniture, can be sold for more than 10 million. You went up and smashed them all.

Don't I need money for artillery shells, don't I need money for gunpowder? Put on airs. Tell them not to shoot too accurately. ”

After scolding his subordinate officials, Zhao Xing raised his head to look at the officials of Bo Niguo, and asked with a sincere face: "What did you just say?" What is the payment method? I plan to pay with Song money, real money Song money, I have always been reputable in business, and I never pay my bills. ”

The official of the country of Bo Ni replied angrily: "My lord, what I see is fire and killing, I heard that the Song country is a country of gentlemen, and the people there are all gentlemen, but what I hear now is thunder, and bursts of thunder are descending on my people, sir, is this how you do business?" ”
