Chapter 202: Autumn Overseas Expedition
The early Tang Dynasty was still an era that attached great importance to the origin of the family and the influence of the clan on the government, which doomed the descendants of those declining families, but they were not willing to be lonely when they had a little bit of talent, and looked for an opportunity to re-lead the family to restore its former reputation.

If you want to lead the family to rise again, you must devote yourself to the power of the dynasty, and be under the command of the prince who has the power to compete for the throne, show that his talents are reused for him, and prepare for the future supreme minister.
Today's prince is frail and sickly, and this year the supervision of the country can not be carried out normally, and the decrees are decided by the prime minister Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenjun, Xiao Dezhao and others, who are also the left concubines of the East Palace, and in May ordered King Pei to assist the prince in handling court affairs.
As a high-level industrial leader of Yanwangfu and a successful businessman, Xie Yue could get a lot of news from the DPRK and China, how could he not see the subtle relationship.
Prince Nuo is critically ill, both civil and military, and His Royal Highness King Yan, who quelled the rebellion of the remnants of Goguryeo in Andong, will be the most powerful candidate for the position of prince. Among the princes, the only one who can compete with His Royal Highness King Yan is King Pei.
His Royal Highness King Keyan has money and soldiers in his hands, and he is not afraid of being in Chang'an, and he has hardly passed the pass, and he has no military power.
Closely follow His Royal Highness King Yan, develop Jiaolong HNA into a force that His Royal Highness will rely on in the future, and when His Royal Highness King Yan reigns in the world, he will earn back the opportunity for Chenjun Xie to regain the opportunity to re-enter the world's wealthy family.
Xie Yue made a detailed analysis and couldn't help but be happy. In his heart, he made up his mind that he must firmly grasp the control of Jiaolong HNA and complete the task assigned by His Highness 200%.
There is no shortage of smart people like Xie Yue in Jiaolong HNA, as the deputy director of Jiaolong HNA, Yuan Zuo from the Yuan clan of Chen County, and Gu Cheng of the Gu clan of Wu County have the same idea.
Yuan Zuoyi learned from a friend of the Imperial Protectorate that His Royal Highness King Yan would send a fleet in November to carry more than 3,000 exiled prisoners who had been escorted to Andong by the imperial court some time ago to the north of the Wa Kingdom, on a large island named Hokkaido by His Royal Highness.
When the exiled prisoners were moved to Hokkaido to develop and settle down, prefectures were established in the area, and officials with full authority were appointed, just like the previous Ryukyu and Taiwan prefectures.
After Yuan Zuo put down the letter sent by his friend in his hand, he chuckled and said, "Although it is an overseas wilderness, it is not an opportunity to pay off. After all, Jiaolong HNA is just an industry in the hands of His Royal Highness, and this position of deputy governor is just a maritime title of Yanwangfu. ”
After inspecting the Liaodong Shipyard and Jiaolong Naval Aviation in Duli Town, Li Yu led a group of officials from the Metropolitan Protectorate back to Pyongyang.
However, in half a month, Jiaolong Hainan Airlines received an order from His Royal Highness King Yan in Pyongyang, ordering Xie Yue to prepare a fleet carrying 3,000 people, travel at sea for more than two months to provide the necessary supplies, and go to Beihai Island in late October, with a preparation time of more than half a month.
Xie Yue was taken aback when he received the order, and his Royal Highness had previously inspected and asked about the carrying capacity of the ships in the port, thinking that he would once again carry out the transportation mission of immigrants from the Central Plains to Andong, but he did not expect that it was to transport exiled prisoners to an unknown island overseas.
Yuan Zuo, who knew the inside story, was secretly happy, and after returning home, he hurriedly wrote a self-recommendation letter, and sent someone to Pyongyang as soon as possible.
A few days later, Yuan Zuo's self-recommendation letter arrived on Li Yu's desk.
After reading Yuan Zuoyang's self-recommended article, Li Yu closed the book and said, "Ling'er, you help me find the file of Yuan Zuo, the deputy director of Jiaolong HNA." ”
"Hmm!" Ling'er put down the pen in her hand and found the Jiaolong HNA personnel file from the study.
The four daughters of Xin'er and Ling'er grew up with Li Yu since they were children, and they have a lot of knowledge. In addition to the talented and intelligent Xin'er who became Li Yu's assistant, some time ago, Li Yu also transferred Ling'er and Mei'er to his side to learn and help him deal with some government affairs.
and newly established the post of secretary of King Yan, and appointed the three daughters of Xin'er, Ling'er and Mei'er as the secretary of King Yan. Since then, the three daughters have official titles to assist them in handling government affairs.
From the filing cabinet, Ling'er took out Yuan Zuo's information and read: "Xun Jun, Yuan Zuo, deputy director of Jiaolong HNA, was born in the Yuan family of Chen County, and his father was the commander of Lin'an County, Hangzhou, and died in the twentieth year of Zhenguan. After the death of his father, Yuan Zuo bought a ship and went to the sea to trade for more than ten years, and earned a lot of money overseas by selling silk porcelain. But because he offended the powerful people in Jiangnan and was forced by the powerful people, he fled Hangzhou with his family. Four years ago, Cui Xuan took a fancy to his business talent and recruited Xiaoyao to serve as the treasurer of the Eastern Capital Branch. Three years ago, His Royal Highness established Jiaolong HNA, and Cui Xuan transferred him to Jiaolong HNA, and was later promoted to deputy director under the establishment of Jiaolong HNA. Its ......"
"It turned out that he was born in a persecuted family, and he had also taken the imperial examination, and he had been a maritime merchant for more than ten years, so it is no wonder that he dared to recommend himself. His ability to be the head of this expedition to Hokkaido is sufficient. ”
Ling'er was a little uncertain when she heard this: "Jun Xun really wants this Yuan Zuo to be in charge of Hokkaido's reclamation affairs?" ”
"There is no other suitable candidate at the moment, it can only be him." Li Yu spread his hands, feeling a little helpless.
"Maritime merchants who have been able to work for more than ten years have no clean hands and feet, when it comes to sailing on the sea and fighting with people, this Yuan Zuo's ability must be nothing to say, otherwise it is impossible for a maritime merchant who has been running for more than ten years to live until now."
"That's it." Li Yu made up his mind after some careful consideration.
The most familiar with the sea conditions of the Lelang Sea and Hokkaido must be the previous Lelang Sea Expedition Hu Anjun, Lu Yuanqing and others. However, their goal this time was not Hokkaido, but to explore the country of Liugui from the Zhenguan period to the Chang'an Dynasty, that is, the northern coastal area of the Sea of Okhotsk in later generations.
After the return of the Lelang Sea expedition, Li Yu named the sea area north of Hokkaido and east of Sakhalin Island, the later Sea of Okhotsk, in the map he submitted, the Xuansu Sea.
The exploration of the northern coast of the Xuansu Sea was once again handed over to the Lelang Sea Expedition Team led by Hu Anjun and Lu Yuanqing, and was renamed the Xuansu Sea Expedition Team.
The Gensu Sea Expedition will set off with the men and horses who pioneered Hokkaido, escorting them all the way to the Ishikari Plain in Hokkaido and then heading north.
The men and horses who pioneered Hokkaido were the 3,000 exiled prisoners sent to Andong by the imperial court, and Li Yu decided to use the ferocious and aggressive barbarism of these prisoners to defeat and drive out the local natives, so that the Tang Dynasty could gain a firm foothold in the local area, and lay the foundation for subsequent large-scale immigration.
Since immigrants pioneered, it was necessary to set up states and counties to rule. The Ishikari Plain was the seat of Sapporo City, the center of Japanese rule in Hokkaido, and Li Yu set up Horoshu here to establish Ishikari Prefecture, and Yuan Zuo would be the first prefectural governor of Ishikari Prefecture.
In addition to the Xuanfu Sea Expedition and the people who opened up Hokkaido, Li Yu also formed the Nanyang Expedition in this autumn overseas expedition, and Zhang Qin once again led the team to the south to implement the strategy of advancing north and south.
