The landless poor people look forward to having a piece of land of their own, and the landless people are looking forward to having a piece of land of their own.

Although the merchants had money that many people envied, they eagerly hoped that the imperial court would give them the opportunity to become officials, so that they could hold power and money in their hands.

The officials of the government grovel in front of the officials all day long, and they are at odds with the officials and colleagues, and it is common for them to be excluded by difficulties. Looking at those high-ranking officials and their superiors, who doesn't want to have a chance to sit on the official position? Just because he is not as knowledgeable, he has to be a tasteless official for the rest of his life?

Pirates and bandits hope to be recruited by the government and become officials and soldiers with military reputation, and to do legal business. I don't have to worry all day long, for fear that the officials and soldiers will kill me, and I also carry my head to the court to receive a reward.

Every class will have people who are unhappy with their status quo and are looking forward to an opportunity to change the status quo, although the opportunity given to them by Li Yu may be a bit risky.

As the saying goes: wealth and danger are sought!

Someone flinched, but there was always someone who would be willing to eat this crab that would hurt people.

There is no shortage of daring and adventurous people in the world. Since there are great rewards, why not!

The Royal Weekly published the 'New Deal for Overseas Exploration' after Li Yu's personal deliberations, and soon after its publication, it spread throughout the ten prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty, causing a lot of shock among the people.

The sensation caused by it in Huainan, Jiangnan, and Lingnan is incomparable to other places, and the maritime merchants who are the three provinces are ready to move after reading the newspaper. No one in Datang knows the Nanyang area better than them, and even after the Nanyang to the west, Tianzhu and Dashi Coast are very familiar to them.

According to this new policy, these wealthy and well-manned three maritime merchants could easily occupy a small island in the South Seas, and thus apply to the Andong Prefecture for the establishment of prefectures and counties and grant them official positions. Even on a large island like Borneo, they know where there are no natives or where the natives are weak.

In order to stimulate these wealthy merchants, Li Yu happily grabbed land in various parts of the Nanyang and became armed colonial merchants like the Western Age of Discovery in later generations.

Make it clear to them that you can take as much as you want, and that it's all yours or your descendants. Of course, sovereignty is Datang's!

According to the 'New Deal for Overseas Exploration', the official positions granted to the people of the Tang Dynasty who occupied overseas places were all subordinate to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and there was no rank in the court, and the government did not issue them by the central government. This was also a compromise measure taken by Li Zhi in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the DPRK and China with this policy.

Li Yu didn't plan to give them a fortune, which was the land they occupied and plundered by themselves, and as much as they could, it would be counted as their fortune, and the Protectorate would not levy a penny of tax on them.

They were also allowed to form guards in the territory they occupied, which were subordinate to the Andong Protectorate army system.

In order to cooperate with the implementation of the new overseas policy, Li Yu successively set up overseas offices in Chang'an, Luoyang, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and Dengzhou to handle various applications.

After the implementation of the new overseas policy measures, Li Yu bid farewell to his relatives and friends in Luoyang and embarked on the road back to Pyongyang.

Just as Li Yu was traveling to Qingzhou, he received an urgent report from Xue Jun from Pyongyang.

Wang Hu, the governor of the Meituo Lake Governor's Mansion, sent troops to attack the Yuexi Department in early March under the pretext of crossing the border to hunt, and the Yuexi Department was defeated and fled to the north and asked for help from the Heishui Department.

The chief of the Heishui Ministry, Ah Shimu, together with the three tribes of Yuexi, Tieli and Simu, raised 7,000 troops to fight with Wang Hu on the bank of Heishui, and Wang Hu advanced lightly, first won and then defeated and returned to the Mae Tuo Lake Governor's Mansion to ask for help from Pyongyang.

A Shimu led four coalition forces to invade the Governor's Mansion of Meituo Lake, plundered everywhere, killed more than 1,000 people, and captured hundreds of people......

After Li Yu saw it, he was so angry that he threw the report on the ground, scolding Wang Hu for being incompetent, not enough to achieve, and more than to fail.

Because Anton's transfer of troops was in his own hands, neither Sima Xue Jun nor Changshi Li Element in Pyongyang could mobilize Andong's garrisons to reinforce Wang Hu.

The situation was urgent, and Li Yu wrote a handwritten order to transfer troops, ordering the messenger to be sent to Pyongyang urgently and handed over to Xue Jun, who would mobilize the Phoenix Guard stationed in Zhacheng to reinforce him. He hastened his trip and tried to feel that Pyongyang was personally handling the matter within a few days.

……

In the city of Chaonan County, the Governor's Office of Meituo Lake, Wang Hu sat on the top with a melancholy face, and in the hall were the generals of the Xuanwu Guard and the Chaonan County Order, all of them sighed with a sad face.

Outside the city is the four allied forces of the Heishui Warriors, which surrounded the county town of Chaonan for several days, and Wang Hu led the army out of the city several times and was repulsed, so that he could not go out of the city again.

After several fierce battles in the past half a month, there were only more than 1,500 soldiers left in the Meituo Lake Governor's Mansion, and they were divided into six counties, while the second pass was abandoned due to insufficient troops, and the people fled to the nearest county seat for refuge.

In addition to Chaonan County, there are more than 800 soldiers, and the other five counties have only more than 100 soldiers and horses stationed. It was not an emergency to gather the people of the whole city to participate in the defense of the city, and the grain and grass gathered in the city were sufficient enough to last for a month or two. The city wall is tall and strong, and the Chaonan County Order Xianji imitates the Three Kingdoms Cao Mengde's expedition to the West Liang Horse overtime, splashing water into ice, pouring water into water, and after a night of freezing into an ice city, it is difficult for the people of the Yan Dynasty to climb the city wall.

Otherwise, the entire territory of the Meituo Lake Governor's Mansion would have been trapped in the four-part coalition army of the Heishui Empire.

Wang Hu's face was full of despair and remorse, he thought that the people of the Black Water Sect were unbearable to fight, and he intended to sweep away the entire Sanjiang region in one fell swoop, so that His Highness could return to Anton to ask for merit.

I didn't want to be defeated, but I was despised by myself, and the various tribes of the Black Water and the Evil Sect besieged the city for several days, but there was no solution.

Looking at the generals and colonels in the palace, Wang Hu asked weakly: "Do you have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?" ā€

Xiao Hong, Guan Yuan and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and finally I have to shake my head and sigh.

Now there are only 800 soldiers left in the city who can fight, and it is all thanks to the concerted efforts of thousands of people in the city to defend the city, plus the ice city that is difficult to climb and the people who are not good at attacking the city.

There are more than 5,000 people outside the city, and with 800 soldiers in the city with low morale, I am afraid that they will not be able to come back if they go out of the city to fight again.

"Governor, now we can only hold on and wait for reinforcements, retreat from the enemy? Unless we train the more than 1,000 young men in the city to be qualified soldiers, maybe it is possible to go out of the city to defeat the Tatars. ā€

Sekihara's proposal did not have a single repercussion in the hall, and this policy was said to be tantamount to nothing, how could the city train a hundred young men into qualified soldiers if they couldn't even equip them with a weapon?

Wang Hu smiled bitterly, there was no way to retreat from the enemy, so he could only sit in the lonely city, this time he really did it himself. It is not possible to ask His Highness for credit, and it is a sure thing to be punished.
