After thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, I decided to go to Anton.

Of course, with troops of the corresponding size.

On the one hand, because of the other party's confession, the person who came was the nominal eldest brother of Luo Sigong, who was also the head of this house, and was added as one of the seven family elders.

The reason why he could come in person was because of the suppression and infiltration of the Northern Dynasty. In recent years, there has inevitably been a certain decline and decline, and even the division of the former subordinate and subordinate vassals has somewhat appeared a certain vacillation and rat attitude.

Therefore, I can't help but think of people like me, who have contacts with distant clans, and hope to play the role of foreign aid in the ceremony of succession of the new head of the family. And when necessary, it is even possible to consider the negotiation of borrowing troops at a cost. But all the prerequisites and conditions are that I hope that I can go to Anton in person as an important clan member of the Luo family.

On the other hand, it is because the proportion of the princes of Anton with the Da Luo clan as trading partners and business contacts is too large, accounting for almost half of the source of trade in the outer sea of Northland.

The rest is the Silla domain and the Fuso domain of the three feudal clans in the East China Sea each with a share of 20 to 1 and a half percent; Then, due to the civil strife, the Silla Domain could no longer count on stable shipments. The business of the Fuso Domain is more like a kind of war money, and I don't know how long it will be able to do it.

The rest are farther north, with clans and clans who live in the taiga zone, between the edges of the permafrost and the ice sheets, such as the Rogue Domain (Ancient Kamchatka) and the Cave Domain (Sakhalin Islands). However, due to the restrictions of the local climate and season, it is not possible to do business a few times a year, and it has already entered the freezing period

If this source is really cut off because of some kind of change, it will really have a great impact, and you must take precautions and plan early.

According to the communication of the Guangfu family, the economic system of the current dynasty, affected by the failure of the Northern Expedition and the subsequent war, has shown an obvious decline and decline, and I don't know when it will recover and prosper.

The resulting waves of bankruptcies, as well as those workshops related to various industries that were robbed by the fire of their own families and used the financial resources provided by Huaidong to desperately collect and merge them at a low price, and the people and equipment who were abducted and deceived tried to migrate to Huaidong, and various industry-related workshops, are the best proof.

For the sake of the offensive on the central and western fronts launched by the Kuo Dynasty in the interior, the base camp has begun to weaken the investment in other directions, including Huaidong, and this trend is likely to continue.

I have to make people prepared and respond. After all, Dengzhou Town, which was self-reliant with sea trade, only needed to feed more than 100,000 households in a corner of Jiaodong, and now under the rule of Huaidong Town, it is not only several times this.

Therefore, based on the results of the assessment of risks and benefits in the political, military, and economic aspects of the fifth level, it is believed that this is a relatively critical opportunity and beginning.

Since the accident of the Haiyang Kim clan in the Silla Domain can make Huaidong take the initiative to intervene and open up an enclave under its jurisdiction as a channel to obtain food and labor, not to mention that the volume of trade in the open sea depends on the greater Andong Da Luo.

But at the same time, he was quite adamant against me personally leading the team, and suggested that it would be enough to send a representative with sufficient status. It's just not accepted by me.

Although it has been weakened a lot, the current Andong Da Luo clan has a large number of domains, including Liaocheng Prefecture (near present-day Liaoyang, Liaoning Province), where the city is located, and Anshi Prefecture (near Dandong City), Jian'an Prefecture (Yingkou, Liaoning), Jili Prefecture (present-day Dalian), and even Cangyan Prefecture (Ji'an, Liaoning) on the Liaodong Peninsula.

As a result, with Liaoxi County as the foundation, according to Huaiyuan Yan County, the Xue family, another Andong prince, who was captured by the four major guards of Ruluo Wulang, can be said to be across the sea, and they have loved and killed each other for many years.

In addition, in the past few years, the Andong camp of the Northern Dynasty in Yingzhou will be killed in Yanjin Prefecture (east of the Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner) in the north, and the territory and population of the battalion will be grabbed step by step.

And at the intersection of these two roads, the local princes of Anton, who were the big Luo clan, were overwhelmed by the long-term suppression. Especially when it comes to Roche's territory in the north, it has been severely slashed. Some of the lineages of heartfelt vassals have even been wiped out and broken because of this.

It was not until these years, taking advantage of the serious weakness of the Northern Dynasty and taking care of itself, that the counterattack was reversed to restore some of the old views.

Therefore, Anton Luo, for the Andong princes who were inclined to and attached to the Southern Dynasty, even took the initiative to organize and provide a coalition army of more than 10,000 people during the Northern Expedition, and as a soldier to help the war, he was put into the southeast road to fight under the banner of the commander. Then most of them were lost in the outer offensive to Luodu.

Among them, there are three small battalions of Anton soldiers, who were mistakenly assigned to my command, and became the original Seventh Brigade of the Auxiliary Army, as well as the garrison battalion sequence of the current Qingzhou Garrison Army, which is one of the few Anton battalions with an exclusive name, alongside the Juye Camp of the Japanese Battalion, the Chenqiao Battalion, and the Qingxi Battalion.

However, in any case, the population and military strength lost over the years, as well as all kinds of financial resources, are not so easy to recover, which is also one of the driving forces and reasons why Da Roche has actively carried out maritime trade with foreign countries in recent years.

According to the other party's arrangement, I could have taken the nearest route to the nearest town of Duli (present-day Lushunkou), which was directly opposite Laizhou Bay, and the distance was much shorter than that of Silla.

Then from Jili Prefecture at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, which is where Dalian was later located, it is quite safe to take the safer 6th road to Liaocheng Prefecture, because this generation is all the territory owned by the Da Luo clan, or the subordinate subordinates are divided. The guards I can bring with me can provide all kinds of supplies and conveniences.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that my actions in the Silla Domain were spread and spread by sea, and it inevitably reached the ears of Andong Dae-Roche.

With this nominal brother here, I also learned more about the current situation in Andong Road.

Today, there are 33 prefectures in Andong Province, plus nine governors under the protection of Anton. Although it is still inferior to the heyday of Goguryeo (mainly due to the continuous weakening of civil strife and strife, which led to the detachment and self-reliance of the Turkish forces in the peripheral areas). However, it still includes the homeland of the Northeast countries, including the Bohai Kingdom of the Great Clan.

And in the places where the Tang people were able to settle and take root, a relatively complete administrative system of Daozhou counties and counties was established, rather than the loose and uncertain of the past, which only provided limited tribute and military service, and most of the time was a variety of feudal subordinates on their own, which can be compared.

Of course, in the whole process of operation and development, it is naturally impossible to be smooth sailing, nor is it a warm and pastoral style. From the reform of the land to the resettlement to the resettlement and the naturalization and transformation of the Tu people, there is always some people with vested interests.

Therefore, there are always a large number of well-known and unknown indigenous tribes and clans, in an uninteresting or unwilling mood, turned into one of the many broken earth and stones that have been crushed by the historical wheel of the Tang Dynasty.

During this period, if someone survives, they will continue to spend their surplus value as a feudal slave in another way, in the plantations and fields of the Sea Domain, and start another life and future.

Therefore, in the hundreds of years after the rise of the Tang Dynasty, this process of land replacement and naturalization is still going on intermittently.

Even after the division of the feudal domain, this pattern and system were preserved and inherited, and became the norm for all families, so in terms of language and cultural customs, most places are not much different from Han land.

Therefore, in addition to the two major systems of the Luo clan and the Xue clan that have long faced each other between the east and the west in the relatively wealthy south, there is also a relatively loose northern alliance, mainly from the relatively barren and bitter cold, and close to the grassland area of the northern princes.

The main walk is between the Tieli Governor's Mansion (Jilin's western Jilin's present-day Jiamusi) and Khuhan Prefecture (Dunhua). Most of them were tired of the civil war and turmoil between the two lineages, and took advantage of the fact that the Xue clan and the Luo clan, which originally had overwhelming power, were seriously weakened, they broke away from the group and became a third force.

However, because of the loose alliance, coupled with the vast land and barren land, and the remnants of the barbarian land, their position is also relatively confused, except that they do not participate in the war, it is difficult to form a consistent result, but with the neighboring steppe tribal forces, attack each other and fight inseparably.

If one side tries to suppress and threaten it, they will unite against it in favor of the other, thus creating a certain limited equilibrium.

It's just by chance that one side will be persuaded to attack and harass in the south, and break this balance and fall into a new round of chaotic war; This has also become one of the important reasons why Roche or Xue have been unable to devote themselves to fighting each other with all their strength for a long time.

Compared with the system of the Northern Dynasties, the Xue clan and its followers who have become similar to the feudal towns; As the local princes who were the periphery and followers of the Luo clan, there were still more than 20 large and small families left.

Most of them were concentrated in the vast area from the Yalu River to the Sashui basin behind Liao County, and because they had been protected by the Luo clan for a long time, they were provided with corresponding labor soldiers and financial resources according to the subordinate covenant.

It's just that because of the rebellion of Gangwon Province in Silla and the rebellion of Baekje after the restoration of the country, the princes in these places are also a little unstable.
