In February, spring is in full bloom. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The continuous drizzle in western Guangdong has added a bit of the unique softness of the south.

Hai Men Town, located east of Cochin, is today Hai Phong City, Vietnam. Situated on the Red River Delta, with Tu Mountain on the left and Ha Long Bay on the right, it forms a unique barrier. If the whole of Jiaozhou is described as a house, Haimen Town is the entrance of this house. Since the Kaihuang period, fishing port villages began to appear, and became an important place to connect with overseas.

In the fourth year of Wude, Li Yanqing officially took over Jiaozhou.

The following year, he moved the Governorate of Annam from Yongzhou to Jiaozhi, formally establishing his dominant position in the Lingnan region of western Guangdong.

However, at that time, this dominance was only nominal.

Luo Dou's black slang was quite powerful in western Guangdong, and Li Yanqing didn't want to conflict with Luo Dou, so he took the initiative to retreat, withdrew from Yongzhou and Qinzhou, and set up the governor's mansion in Jiaozhi instead, which also showed Luo Dou that he had no intention of touching the interests of the black slang.

In fact, this seems to be a cowardly concession, but it limits the development of black slang to the land of two states.

Especially after Fang Xuanling became the governor of Hongzhou, his sphere of influence was adjacent to Lingnan, which could effectively put pressure on the black slang people. Although Luo Dou occupied the land of the two states, it was difficult for him to achieve greater development. After all, Yungui to the west of western Guangdong is beyond the control of the black slang people. Although the local slang officials have connections with the black slang people, they will never allow Luo Dou to cross the border without authorization...... And Feng An, who is east of western Guangdong, is a behemoth that black slang people dare not provoke.

The power of the Feng family was originally greater than that of the black slang, but now it is attached to Li Tang, and Feng Ang has been named the governor of Hezhou, and he also leads the history of the Eight Prefectures. At first glance, Luo Dou's name as the 'Slang King' is far better than Feng An. But the problem is that he, the slang king, is just the slang king of the two states, except for the slang people in western Guangdong, who will admit it? Even in western Guangdong, not all slang people are convinced by Luo Dou.

On the other hand, although Feng Ang is not a slang king, in eastern Guangdong, he is like a slang king.

The most important thing is that his title of the Eight Prefectures Assassin History is an official edict from the imperial court. Officially, Feng Ang is undoubtedly more formal, far from being comparable to Luo Dou's slang king who has no real power. Even if the court recognized Luo Dou as the king of slang, it did not give him any sufficient benefits. This may not be evident at the beginning...... But as time went by, Feng An's encroachment on western Guangdong began to increase, and Luo Dou gradually became a little irresistible from the initial upper hand, and was at a disadvantage.

At the end of the fifth year of Wude, when the situation in Lingnan had basically stabilized, everyone's eyes were focused on the battle of the wingmen in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. At that time, the situation in the Central Plains was also very complicated, but for the people in Lingnan, the war of the wingmen was undoubtedly more attractive. The reason is very simple, because the battle of the wingmen is almost a completely new combat mode.

A group of soldiers without any status, who do not need any name, only fight for money...... This is very different from the 'famous teacher' respected in Chinese history. Whether it is Feng Ang or Luo Dou, they no longer appear as the commander, but as collaborators of the dragoons, watching the battle quietly.

This is a new profit model for Feng Ang and others. As for the wealth plundered after the final capture of the wingmen's headquarters, more than half of it will belong to Feng Anluodou. The rest is attributed to the slang warriors.

In the first battle of the wingmen's department, Luo Dou sent 8,000 white slang, and Feng Ang sent 3,000 slang soldiers.

The result was a great victory, causing half of the slang soldiers to take the opportunity to buy back their free bodies, and Feng Ang, Luo Dou and others made a lot of profits.

Subsequently, Li Yanqing ordered an all-out offensive against the wingmen.

Luo Dou gathered more than 20,000 people at once for Li Yanqing to dispatch; Feng Ang also transferred nearly 10,000 soldiers from the island to recruit his wingmen.

As a result, Li Yanqing suddenly had 30,000 more soldiers and horses in his hands.

These 30,000 people began to be brainwashed with the addition of Maitreya in white.

In the past, the various concepts accepted were not as cost-effective as real money.

In the sixth year of Wude, Li Yanqing was invited by the lord of Zhenla Kingdom, and the dragoons went out again, and the black slang troops under Luo Dou also began to ask to join the ranks of mercenaries. While Li Yanqing continued to divide Luo Dou's forces, he also asked Fang Xuanling to increase the migration of Han people in the Lingnan area. To this end, Li Yanqing gave many preferential conditions, such as the gift of land, tax exemption and so on...... In the same year, Li Yanqing ordered the construction of Haimen Port in Haimen Town and began to strengthen contacts with the outside world...... At the end of the land, is the ocean!

Only by occupying the ocean can you be regarded as mastering the future!

It's just that not many people can understand Li Yanqing's great navigation thoughts. Not to mention the poor countryside of Lingnan, even in the Central Plains, I am afraid that in addition to Xu Shiji and Changsun Wuji, two partners who have been with him since childhood, they can understand, and even Xue Shu and Du Ruhui can't accept it.

Fortunately, Li Yanqing also has a Qilin Pavilion in his hands, and he has enough time to instill his thoughts in people.

This is probably not the case in this lifetime...... But the next generation, the next generation, with the passage of time, there will definitely be people, and more people will understand him. Of course, these thoughts only exist in his head, except for Duoduo, even the eldest grandson Wujian and Pei Cuiyun don't know.

This is not that Li Yanqing is estranged from his eldest grandson Wujian and Pei Cuiyun, but because Duoduo has been with him the longest. The two can be said to have been together since childhood, although they were separated for a period of time later, but if you want to say that the person who is most affected, it must be Yu Wenduo. Listening to Li Yanqing's bizarre stories since he was a child, although he didn't say anything on his mouth, he always regarded Li Yanqing as the most knowledgeable person in his heart. Li Yanqing said a lot of things, maybe Wujian and Pei Cuiyun don't understand, but Duoduo must understand.

Perhaps, this is the so-called heart and soul!

In short, Li Yanqing's construction of Haimen Port had a tremendous impact on the entire western part of Guangdong and even on Lingnan.

Many of the slang people who had gained freedom in the dragoon army went to Jiaozhou to buy real estate, thus bringing a large number of people to Jiaozhou.

These people have gained real benefits from Li Yanqing.

Therefore, on the issue of dealing with Li Yanqing, he is naturally extremely firm...... With the gradual increase of the population of Jiaozhou, the port of Haimen Town has gradually improved, and a huge seaport trade center has quietly risen in Jiaozhou.

Of course, at this time, the objects of Haimen Town's maritime trade were still concentrated in the Nanyang region.

At the end of the sixth year of Wude, Li Yanqing secretly sent Liu Qing as an envoy to lead a fleet of ships to get in touch with the Xiao Sui court, which had just gained a foothold in Borneo, and established a secret trade network. Li Yanqing transported the urgently needed materials of Xiao Sui through the port of Haimen Town; At the same time, Xiao Sui also transported a large number of Nanyang specialties to Jiaozhou through the port of Haimen Town.

A huge interest group was inadvertently built up in this way.

In the seventh year of Wude, with the further development of Jiaozhou, Li Yanqing finally decided to pull out the last nail in the western part of Guangdong.

Just when the Yang Wengan Rebellion occurred, Yan Qing booby-trapped Luo Dou and completely unified western Guangdong.

At this time, Fang Xuanling also increased the population transfer to western Guangdong, making western Guangdong gradually become a real place where slang and Han people lived.

Li Yanqing's dominance in the south gradually began to become clear.

Li Daoxuan, the governor of Jingzhou, Fang Xuanling, the governor of Hongzhou, and the new governor of Rongzhou (and Yunnan-Guizhou region), Dou Liang, who came from Chengdu to take up his post, formed a huge interest group dominating the right side of the Yangtze River and Minshu. Li Yanqing's gaze also turned to Chang'an......―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― "Lord Wang, what does the imperial court mean by sending someone over at this time?" ”

In the port of Haimen Town, a luxurious sea boat, slowly sailed in.

The ships that were crowded outside the harbor and waiting to enter the harbor saw the black unicorn on the deck of the sea ship and immediately gave way to the way.

The black unicorn is a unique symbol of the Annam Governorate.

It not only represents the Governor's Mansion of Annam, but also represents Li Yanqing, the king of Henan.

Since Li Yanqing killed Luo Dou, all the slang men in western Guangdong submitted to the rule of the Governor's Mansion of Annam. Compared with the situation when people only knew that the slang kings and slang were all old, but did not know the imperial court, today's western Guangdong, the general trend of slang and Han integration has been unstoppable.

Li Yanqing controlled his ** very carefully.

He did not encroach on the Feng family's sphere of influence, but continued to expand his land to the west and south.

Although the Zhenla Kingdom is a subject country of reading power on the surface, in fact, the officials of the entire Zhenla Kingdom are arranged by Li Yanqing.

Even the lord of Zhenla expressed his willingness to naturalize.

On the one hand, Li Yanqing continued to retain the name of Zhenla Kingdom, but on the other hand, he carefully covered it up so as not to be noticed by the imperial court.

Stepping out of the cabin, Li Yanqing took a deep breath of the fishy sea breeze.

"What else could it mean?" He sneered and said, "Without him, it's just to find balance...... In fact, His Majesty has always had some scruples about me. On the one hand, he hopes that I will turn back to Chang'an and hold the façade for the prince; On the other hand, they were afraid that I would become bigger, and they didn't dare to transfer me back. This time, the two important officials of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province came to Lingnan together, called comfort, but in fact, they just wanted to listen to my reality. ”

The fish row army nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the meaning.

After the demise of Ning Changzhen, the Yupai Army was named the Qinzhou Thorn History, and gradually separated from the army.

His surname is not suitable for serving in the army, and it is not too bad to assassinate a party. If there were no fish platoon army in Qinzhou and Luo Dou who thought it was a snake, it would not be easy for Li Yanqing to successfully overturn Luo Dou and strip out the 36 holes of the black slang. After Luo Dou's death, the Fish Platoon Army became a long history around Li Yanqing. After all, he is the son of Yukuluo, and it would be a pity if the military literacy he cultivated since childhood was not used well...... He is the head coach and is not qualified; But a qualified staff officer. Li Yanqing controlled western Guangdong and placed the Governor's Mansion of Annan, which governed more than 100 prefectures and counties, covering the two major systems of military and government.

As the governor of the Governor's Mansion, Yupai Jun can not only give advice to Li Yanqing, but also be able to pick up and fill in the gaps in government affairs, which is quite suitable.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Wude, Fang Xuanling sent his eldest son Fang Zhi directly to Jiaozhou, nominally saying that he wanted Fang Zhi to train in the governor's mansion, but in fact, he had clearly stated his position and attached himself to Li Yanqing's account. In fact, it was a matter of time before Fang Xuanling joined Li Yanqing. There are too many traces of Li Yanqing on him, whether it is the song "Lime Yin" in the early years, or the later governance of Guancheng, and the connection with Li Yanqing can be regarded as never severed. Now, he has six states under his command, and there are several princes on one side...... Even if Li Yuan wanted to move him, he had to be cautious so as not to irritate Fang Qiao.

Coupled with Xie Yingdeng, Su Dingfang surrounded the banks of Hongzhou, which also made Fang Xuanling have no choice but to join Li Yanqing.

Just imagine, Fang Xuanling has such a big power and ability, who would dare to use him?

Maybe except for Li Yanqing, there is no one else...... "Uncle Wang, do you mean to say that we can go back to Chang'an?" ”

Fang Yizhi followed Li Yanqing's side and asked softly.

"Yes, maybe it won't be long before we return to Chang'an......"

The sea ship was moored and docked on the pier, and a team of plain armor sergeants, hulala, appeared on the pier, lined up in formation, solemn and quiet.

Li Yanqing took the fish row and the others to get off the boat, and arched his hand with Li Duan, who came to greet him.

"Lord Wang, Luoyang Secret News."

Li Duan hurriedly stepped forward and handed Li Yanqing a letterbox sealed with fire paint.

On the letterbox, there is a unique unicorn logo. The silver paint on it is enough to indicate the identity of the sender. Since Li Yanqing went to Lingnan, Qilintai has completely sunk. Even the people in the Henan Wangfu in Luoyang didn't know about such an existence. The silver unicorn fire paint is a unique symbol of Chai Xiaohe, and it also illustrates the important surname of this letter.

Li Yanqing took the letter box and did not rush to open it.

"How's it going at home?"

"Everything is normal, Elder Gao once sent someone to come once, saying that he invited the prince to preside over the memorial service of clearing the wasteland...... The prince happened to go to sea at that time, so a princess came forward to preside over it...... The old man also said that he wanted the prince to go as soon as possible after he returned, and there was something important to discuss. ”

Mr. Gao is the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, the former Sima of Jiaozhi County, and the current Gao Jian Gao Shilian of Jiaozhou Thorn History.

No matter what Gao Shilian thought of Li Yanqing in the past, now they are a real family. In addition, Mrs. Gao has often exchanged letters in the past two years, which has also made Gao Jian much more affectionate to Li Yanqing. Originally, Li Yanqing was going to let Gao Shilian serve as the governor of Jiaozhou and concurrently serve as the assassin. But Gao Shilian said that he was not familiar with military affairs, and the Annan Governor's Office set up Jiaozhi, so there was no need to set up a Jiaozhou governor, and he only took the post of assassin. His son, Gao Cheng, is now Sima ...... of Qinzhou In the past few years, Li Yanqing has vigorously promoted commercial activities on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has not neglected agriculture.

Jiaozhou has abundant rainfall and is also suitable for farming. So Li Yanqing ordered the reclamation of wasteland, and the government was responsible for cultivating cattle and farm tools. For every ten acres of wasteland reclaimed, the government gets 40 acres of public land, and the people get 6 acres of permanent land. Many of the slang officials who hide in the mountains are very interested in this. In the past two years, Jiaozhou has developed hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, and has gradually become self-sufficient from relying on aid.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Wude, Li Yanqing issued another order to open up the wasteland.

The tax was converted into money, and then further promoted commerce, making Jiaozhou gradually become a commercial city far better than Panyu.

Of course, there are also some tough and iron-blooded methods.

In order to increase the population of Jiaozhou, Li Yanqing ordered the dragoons to go to Tianzhu, plunder the population of Tianzhu, and sell them to Jiaozhou as slaves.

If it weren't for the inconvenient transportation, Li Yanqing would even want to go to Africa and Europe to plunder the population...... Since Europeans could sell human beings back then, why can't he do such a thing now?

Gao Shilian sent someone over in such a hurry, there must be something important to discuss.

Li Yanqing thought for a while, "Li Changshi, let's set off immediately and return to Jiaozhi." ”

Li Duan had already prepared the chariot, and Li Yanqing, surrounded by everyone, boarded the chariot.

In the chariot, he opened the letter box and read Chai Xiaohe's letter at a glance and ten lines, and a touch of solemnity appeared on his face unconsciously.

How could there be such a thing?

If it weren't for Chai Xiaohe's letter, Li Yanqing would have almost never guessed such a result.

History has long since become unrecognizable...... I thought that this prince dispute was a game between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but I didn't expect that there would be one more person!

It's really fortunate that I was more careful at the beginning...... Thinking of this, Li Yanqing couldn't help laughing.

This game seems to be getting more and more interesting, but I don't know, which one will be the final winner?
