At this moment, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was Kaifeng, and in late March, the Three Buddhas sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty again, and this time the envoys brought tribute, Zhao Dezhao also knew the development of his restaurant in the Three Buddhas from the mouths of the envoys.

A few days later, the envoys of the Jurchen Kingdom went to Kaifeng again to pay tribute, and this time the envoys of the Jurchen Kingdom came to Beijing to bring condolences and gratitude from the Wanyan tribe.

Since Zhao Dezhao proposed maritime hegemony, the Great Song Dynasty court went to sea this time, and the third-line development was also to find a new continent.

The development of maritime hegemony is impossible without the support of land, and a deep-water port is urgently needed, and Zhao Dezhao's eyes also fell on the direction of the magic capital of later generations, and now Huating County, a small county east of Yangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty.

Huating County, the territory is far less big than the magic capital in the future, but it does not harm the development of this place into an excellent port city, and the most important thing is that no one has developed it yet, but Zhao Dezhao knows that this place is bound to have unlimited potential in the future.

And the seaport built at the beginning of this is also the most suitable place for the Great Song Dynasty, in the north, the navigation industry is not developed, there is a strong Liao in the north, and the sea transportation route is somewhat blocked, although after the Jurchens sent envoys, a new port was built in the land of Qilu, relying on the Qingdao and Yantai ports of later generations.

However, trade was not very developed, and it was hindered by the Liao State, and generally ships went south or east to Goryeo, Fusang and other places to trade, while overseas vassal states also entered the inland waterway from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then went to Kaifeng along the Bianshui.

Nowadays, in addition to the port of Yangzhou, the new port is built at the sea exit, the purpose is very clear, the Great Song Dynasty wants to separate the strategic deployment, but also to prepare for the pacification of the land south of the Yangtze River.

If a new port is built in Huating County, it is bound to be a warning to the countries south of the Yangtze River, and a big knife hanging over the heads of the countries south of the Yangtze River does not know when it will fall.

It's just that the coastline of the Great Song Dynasty is not the coastline of later generations, and only one or two Shazhou are exposed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and many places are still in the middle of the vast ocean. In the early period of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was successively merged, and Liaojiaozui extended to Lüsi.

Huating County, this location is very important, it is of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty, both economically and militarily, it is of strategic significance.

In order to speed up the deployment, at the end of March, in Huating County, south of the Yangtze River port, under the proposal of Zhao Dezhao, the Great Song Dynasty began to build a new port, build docks and shipyards, and build all kinds of ships to meet the growing navigation and military undertakings of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, according to Zhao Dezhao's suggestion, the port was named "Shanghai Port", and at the same time expanded the county seat of Huating County, reinforced the river embankment with cement, built a flood control embankment, prevented the inflow of seawater, and the invasion of salty tides, and ordered the surrounding counties to mobilize the people to fill the new city, a few years later, because of the prosperous scene of Shanghai Port, and the status of Shanghai Port became more and more prominent, Huating County was renamed Shanghai, and since then Shanghai appeared on the atlas of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the establishment of the port of Shanghai, the Great Song Dynasty court also began to accelerate the pace of unification, and once again determined the basic national policy of "first south and then north, first easy and then difficult".

And in May, Zhao Kuangyin has learned an important piece of information from the secret agents of Wudesi, at this moment, Wuping Jiedu envoy Zhou Xingfeng has been seriously ill, although there has been no news of his serious illness in the local area, but Wu Desi's people who collect intelligence have inquired about Wuping Jiedu envoy's mansion, and they are very sure of the news that Zhou Xingfeng is seriously ill.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed, Hengzhou Assassin Zhang Wenbiao and Zhou Xingfeng have always had grievances, in the Xiande years before the Wuping Festival made Wang Kui in Zhang Wenbiao and Zhou Xingfeng as brothers, after Wang Kui was killed by Pan Shuhei, Zhou Xingfeng killed Pan Shuhei, raised troops to chase the side pickaxe, Zhou Xingfeng was supported as the Wuping Army Festival Envoy, canonized by the Central Plains, and then signed Zhang Wenbiao Hengzhou Assassin History, quite jealous, often want to punish the Wen Table, did not send it.

The old things between Zhang Wenbiao and Zhou Xingfeng are also the places where the two attack each other, Zhou Xingfeng is afraid of Zhang Wenbiao, and Zhang Wenbiao is very afraid, and he is unwilling to be under Zhou Xingfeng.

Thousands of miles away, Wupingjun was in the palace, Zhou Xingfeng lay down in front of the hospital bed, and waited for his eleven-year-old son Zhou Baoquan in front of the bed.

Zhou Xingfeng thought about it at this moment, if he died, how should his eleven-year-old son deal with himself, and his son was young, and he lacked experience in prestige, controlling people and governing places, I was afraid that as soon as he died, the document table would take the opportunity to rebel, and Wu Ping would be about to die.

And he was also worried about what was behind him, since he was sick, he had been worried and uneasy, and after being tormented by the illness, he described himself as withered, emaciated, and did not see anyone.

In Wuping, there are many places where the news of the death of the Wuping Jiedu envoy has even been reported, and in Langzhou, Tanzhou and other places, this news is transmitted very quickly, and the domestic forces are beginning to move. And this news was naturally released by Zhao Dezhao to the secret agents of Changchun Hall, and now this news is everywhere in the restaurant tile house, Qinglou and other places, and since this news was released, Wu Desi deliberately mixed into Zhou Xingfeng's mansion in order to investigate the truth of the incident.

And Zhou Xingfeng cried and laughed when he learned the news of his death outside, and at the same time asked the guards and officials in various places to investigate who made the rumors.

Changchun Tang secret agents are thoughtful, and after spreading the news, they disappeared without a trace, naturally they can't be caught, and because of this, after the local officials were fruitless, they wantonly captured innocent people, some people were arrested and put in prison, and other people who were unintentionally dispersed were also very afraid, and fled north one after another, leaving their hometowns, and also making the city boiling, chickens and dogs were restless, Hunan has become a pot of porridge, and the parties are holding Erlang's legs in Kaifeng.

The land of Chu, Hengzhou, at this moment in the Assassin's Mansion, after Zhang Wenbiao took off his official uniform, he changed into a plain dress, and someone in the Assassin's Mansion had already passed the news to Zhang Wenbiao, and Zhang Wenbiao was very happy after reading it.

He knew that Zhou Xingfeng was jealous of himself, and now Zhou's serious illness was not the time for his rise, if Zhou Xingfeng died of a serious illness, he would be able to take the opportunity to seize the power of the Wuping Army, and replace Zhou Xingfeng to become the ruler of Hunan and other places at that time, but Zhou's power was still there, how should he further seize military power, he was thinking about making trouble after his death.

At the gate of the Thorn Mansion, this person was dressed in a cloak and covered with a veil on his face, and he couldn't see what he looked like at all, but he walked to the door with Shi Shiran.

A general in front of the Assassin's Mansion saw this person and blocked his way, "Who is coming?" ”

"Haha, I heard that Zhang Tingshi has been worried recently, so he deliberately went to see him to solve his problems, hoping that the general would go in to tell him, and people outside the party would ask to see him."

The general said, "Why don't you show your true face, if it's an assassin, what's good?" ”

The man laughed, then took off the black veil on his face, revealing his true face, "That's all right." ”

"Almost, if you have a weapon on your body, please take it off, and I'll wait to go in and tell you." General Pi instructed Zhang Quan to come over and check the man's condition, "Zhang Quan, keep an eye on this person, don't let him do anything else." ”

Zhang Wenbiao got up and said, "You mean, someone wants to see me, where is that person?" ”

"Outside the door, do you want him to come in." The general asked.

"No need, I'll go to the door in person, if it's a person in the Tao, it's good to have a staff officer." After Zhang Wenbiao finished speaking, he walked to the gate of the house.

……

"Tanzhou Ke is useless, see Master Zhang Tingshi." When the man saw Zhang Wenbiao, he hurriedly stood up and said.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Wenbiao asked.

"This ...... Zhang Tingshi, it is not appropriate to speak here. The man looked around, "Ke is useless to discuss important matters. ”

Zhang Wenbiao saw that Ke Wufu looked nervous, and he was afraid that he really had something to discuss, so he went to the study.

In the study, Zhang Wenbiao immediately asked about the matter, and Ke Wufu immediately said, "Ke is a talented person who has nowhere to go, he went to the Zhou Jie Envoy's Mansion before, and wanted to recommend himself, but inadvertently, he learned the news that the Zhou Jie Envoy was seriously ill from the Zhou Mansion. But Zhou Jie's envoy didn't wait to see me, and later Ke was drunk and said it unintentionally...... Now rumors are rife in Hunan, and Zhou Jie's envoy wants to investigate the source of the rumors, so he arrests me on a large scale...... Ke was helpless, and in order to avoid pursuit, he could only show people with a veil...... In the past few days, the talent in his chest has been fruitless, and he has no way to cast his talents, and he is indignant, so he went to the Assassin's Mansion to serve Zhang Tingshi. ”

"Oh? It turns out that you spread the news that Zhou Jieji is seriously ill. Zhang Wenbiao didn't expect this person's drunken words to cause such trouble, haha, but he was happy to see the chaos in Hunan.

But he still didn't believe what this person said, and thought in his heart, maybe this person was a person sent by Zhou Xingfeng, who wanted to blend in with him and then get rid of himself, and at the same time scolded Zhou Xingfeng angrily in his heart.

Ke Wufu talked to Zhang Wenbiao, Zhang Wenbiao also thought that this person was talented, but he had no eyes and beads that week, so he let Ke Wufu live in the mansion temporarily, and at the same time sent a sergeant to secretly monitor this person.

After that, Zhang Wenbiao left under the pretext of leaving for an excuse, and after turning the corner, he immediately instructed the general to investigate whether the person had been to Zhou Xingfeng's mansion to test whether he was sent by Zhou Xingfeng.

After the general went down, he dispatched people and inquired about the news of the man, and sure enough, as the man said, he later informed Zhang Wenbiao.

Zhang Wenbiao then put his mind at ease, and at the same time revoked the sergeant's secret surveillance, and with the posture of Uncle Liu Huang getting Zhuge Kongming, he happily went to Ke Wu's residence.

At night, Zhang Wenbiao specially bought food from Guangwei Restaurant and entertained Ke Wufu, who came here.

Ke is useless and useless, after a bit of resignation and courtesy, Zhang Wenbiao's heart has already blossomed, on the wine table, the two talked freely, Zhang Wenbiao said: "Mr. Ke, how to take Wuping?" Zhang Wenbiao took the opportunity to propose how to be self-reliant.

Ke Wufu shook the folding fan in his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, now Zhou Xingfeng is still here, but there is an advantage that Zhou's heirs are weak, after Zhou's death, the lord is weak and the ministers are strong, Zhang Tingshi has great prestige, summons local county leaders, old generals in the army, take the opportunity to rise, seize the Wuping army, and then this Wuping will be in the hands of the assassin Shi." After Wu Ping took himself, three or five years later, the assassin Shi could seize Nanping, and then Jing and Hu were in the hands of the assassin history. ”

"Haha, after listening to what Mr. said, I benefited a lot!" Zhang Wen's surface was flushed, slightly drunk, facing Zhou Xingfeng's mansion, and smiling proudly.
